The "risks" section is pretty interesting, e.g.:

"Arm China is 25% of our revenue, but we have no control over them, they have failed to pay us in the past resulting in us taking on additional costs to recover the money, also we have no way of knowing what they actually owe us and other than what they say, which has already been a problem"

And banning/punishing in waves is better than doing it immediately.

You gather a bunch of offenders for weeks or months and then one day they just go poof and everyone knows why.

This way you can weed out the ones who were just experimenting (few attempts) from those who use it regularly.
The issue with "Unix", both as a technology and as an idea, is that has remained substantially incomplete. It never developed the next layer(s) that would help embrace all users, not just the technical ones. The fact that the project/ideology/mindset is old does not mean it is rounded, finished and fulfilled.

"Unix" missed the popularization of compute not once but twice, first with the infamous "linux desktop", then with the mobile revolution.

There does not seem to be a technical reason why this "completion" has not happened. The history of computing is idiosyncratic, very far from exploring the phase space of possibilities, let alone converging on optimal ones. Random economic and regulatory/political constructs helped fill the gap in all the abominable ways that dominate today's landscape.

Yet Unix 2.0 - the human-centered version is just a finite number of keystrokes away...
I started using Delphi back in the early 90s because I needed to send a "catalogue on a floppy" to customers of my parents.

At the time I'd used VB but the runtime was the size of a floppy on its own, and the catalogue data pushed it over the size. I remember reading that Delphi didn't require a runtime and that was that.

I still use Delphi for LOB apps - so very quick to design a user interface and have a working program ready to roll out, for example so transport can update their haulier quickly, or the accounting software has a shoddy smtp implementation that doesn't play well with our spam appliance so we create a tool that fires statements via mapi and let outlook deal with retries.
Thank you!

I've read one of Judea pearl's latest books (called I think "the question of why") and while I found it extraordinarily convincing to make the case that the "data first" approach to inference is fundamentally flawed, I also couldn't extract anything quantitative from his graphs. Maybe my fault, it's on my to-reread list. Thanks for the link.
> Are there use cases where we must burn propane because we can’t replace that process with electricity?

I think this might slot in everwhere we currently plan to use hydrogen, with the added benefit of larger storage.

Here in Europe we have massive natural gas storage facilities so we can buy gas during summer to use for heating in winter. We will need something similar but renewable. If we can fill that storage with green propane, that would be amazing. It would mean we can keep our heating infrastructure. And we have an amazing use for the solar over-production in summer.

Honestly tho, this sounds to good to be true.
In recent months, I've had the opportunity to work with some individuals involved in the creation of the digital election system in Brazil. The system has been under development for over 15 years. These are extremely serious companies and individuals who are experts in cryptography, cybersecurity, hardware security, and, above all, the logistical process to make it happen on the scale of Brazil. All companies involved in the creation and production of the technology possess the most relevant international certifications in their fields.

Among all the problems our country faces the digital election is not one of them. In reality, it is a profound source of pride that something so complex is developed by Brazilians, bringing together the public and private sectors in an integrated and productive manner.

Ok I'm monetizing websites from 2016 so I think I can answer this question.

I think for your website you sell some hair product. You can place your amazon affiliate link. Your motivation should not sell the product instead it should be people click on the link.

If customer buys anything under 24 hours, you will get commession.

you can add other features and sell the pro version.
That's weird. Is there something about the telephony system in the iPhone that's better? First time I've ever seen anyone praise that. People generally care about the curated walled garden experience.
That's a valid opinion :)

What's your opinion on "the" vs "a"? Cause in my language there are no articles. If you mean "a book" you say "any book". If you mean "the book" you say "this book" or "that book" or something to that effect. If you don't care (which is 99% of the time) - you say "book".

Do you think this distincion is worth it?

BTW I'm wondering if AI and programming will eventually create a new distinction, similar to the grammatical genders caused by domestication - it would be useful to be able to distinguish between antropomorphized but non-intelligent entities (this function threw an exception) and actually intelligent actors (this AI decided you should be fired).
We will need all the electrification we can get for electric cars and heat pumps. offloading some of that to other energy sources, using pre-existing infrastructure, would be amazing!

> According to Delgatti, Bolsonaro wanted to him to "expose the fragility" of the voting machines [...].

And: https://www.securityweek.com/brazilian-hacker-claims-bolsona...

> [Delgatti] said that after he explained why he could not hack into the electoral system, the Bolsonaro campaign asked him to tamper with a borrowed voting machine to make it appear, less than a month before the election’s first round, that the machine had been successfully hacked and results could be compromised. The fraudulent hack was to be shared with news media, Delgatti said, but it was canceled.

So: the plan was not to rig the elections, but to shed FUD on result (in case Bolsonaro lost).

If there's anything the last few years has taught me is that hype is rarely any indication of common sense. I'm always surprised what reaches success and what doesn't. Truly revolutionary ideas are ignored and not understood while stupid but polished ideas are booming.

One example of that is the crypto space. So many actual good for humanity implications, but the "killer app" that made the news was fucking NFTs. I'm trying really hard not to come to the conclusion that humans are just mindless zombies but it's getting harder every year.

>> 70% of the profits are generated by older processes, not sub-14nm, ...<<

Not sure which chip segment you are talking about. The legacy chip manufacturing in general operate at much lower margin and much of revenue and profit comes from the cutting edge nodes: for instance, 2/3 of TSMC revenue and profit come from sub-10nm; likewise for SMIC in China, their biggest money maker is 14nm, their most cutting edge nodes.

>> There is no mature ecosystem to copy, ...<<

In the EV battery market, the established competitors/leaders in the market were LG Chem and Panasonic. But as explained earlier, they were excluded from participating/competing in China EV market which would have given them opportunity to further improve their process/yield and accelerated commodification of their tech.

>> Chinese semiconductor companies wanted the best suppliers, so they chose international suppliers rather than domestic suppliers. <<

There is little/no such "domestic" supplier in China's chip manufacturing -- over 90% of chip manufacturing equipment/suppliers are in the US, or Japan, or the EU. Even Taiwan and South Korea import 90+% of their equipments from those named countries and have very small domestic supply-chain of their own. And let's not forget that China has very little chip manufacturing talents of their own -- it's not surprising that former TSMC engineers were behind SMIC's 14nm/7nm. SMEE's first 28nm lithos, which is apparently still not ready for mass-production after having made release announcement two years ago -- likewise heavily depends on Japanese parts/engineering expertise. You can't just shortcut to 50-60 years of accumulative knowledge in making precision equipments by copying.

Hydrogen has the problem with thick-walled heavy fuel tanks - problematic for both cars and planes.

Ammonia to my knowledge has a problem of both potential toxicity (both if gas escapes in refuelling and NOx emissions after burning) and needing enriched pure oxygen rather than running with atmospheric air.

Propane or other hydrocarbons look superior to both of these to me.
>Had he successfully created his utopia are you saying he would have been factually right about the universe, and thus justified?

If we're talking about hypotheticals then, perhaps? If we assume that he succeeded in creating a utopia and the means he used were instrumental in doing so, then necessarily he was right in thinking that the particular method was correct to achieve the goal of the utopia. Whether the ends are justified is going to depend on the eventual characteristics of the utopia, on the sacrifices that were necessary, and on who you ask.

If he was wrong then there was no possible way to succeed, but if he succeeded there's no way he could have been wrong. Modus tollens.
so what? Regular users (whatever they are) don't know or care that a mac is unix under there somewhere.

At moments like these i feel the loss of the nokia N900 that was glibc, gtk+ linux all the way down and up. Best phone I ever owned by a margin. Also arguably not a machine owned by apple/goog/samsung/etc whose purpose is surveillance of the schmuck (me) who just paid for it.

One of the biggest red flags I've encountered during a hiring process was a complete lack of interest in my thoughts, ideas, or experiences. During the interview, it felt like they were just going through the motions, asking generic questions without really listening to my answers. There was no engagement or curiosity about what I could bring to the team.

When I asked about the company culture and the team I'd be working with, the answers were vague and dismissive. It gave me the impression that they were more interested in filling a seat than finding the right fit.

That experience taught me the importance of mutual respect and genuine interest in a hiring process. If a company doesn't take the time to get to know you during the interview, it's a strong indication of how they'll treat you as an employee.
Apple has this policy too
Point taken, but there's nothing prohibiting commands from outputting their data in a different text format that's better suited for tree-like data (like JSON), and another set of minimal commands which processes JSON-formatted data - easy extensibility by the user is also part of the "UNIX philosophy".

That's also the point where I'd reach for Python or Deno/TS to write such command line tools, because both Bash and C are not really well suited for text processing - and neither are the traditional UNIX tools like sed or awk IMHO.
Sounds plausible, but it’s a risky move to bring this to court without evidence.
Except it already has. Car emissions regulations are a good example. Not just regulations on manufacturers either. Look at London's ultra low emissions zones quickly pushing folks to go electric.

And how do I get to the trains?

It takes me about 30min to get there, no matter what method I use and I actually live in a city. Then waiting for some train, ten-twenty minutes is not unusual, then riding it, leaving the station. It’ll easily be an 2h experience to travel what would be at most 30min in a car.

Getting basically anywhere in NL with a train is an automatic 2-3x slowdown, unless you happen near some public transport hotspot and your destination is actually near the station.

It’s also uncomfortable for all kind of reasons, to be honest.. but I’ll take that if it wasn’t such a waste of time.

I don’t see any way of improving this as well. What would you propose? Demolish housing to make place for tracks?
I’m not convinced that the overall cycle is sustainable: cement >> concentrated CO2 >> electrolysis >> propane >> burn into the atmosphere still leaves that 8% of CO2 in the air.

I do include Minimize-if-already-active though. I like to be able to temporary flip an application into focus (e.g. Outlook) and then return to what I was previously working on.

Plus a tweak: When launching, programs may open in the background because Windows attempts to prevent applications stealing focus when you are working in another program. I overcome this by focusing the tray before launching.

> At no point in the history of human civilization has growth been static.

Generally: correct. So far.

> It will not ever be.

Yes, it will. This will be forced by 2 factors:

a) The Earth we live on is essentially a closed system. Yes @ some point we might be able to mine asteroids, use extraterrestrial energy sources, move people off-planet etc. But this depends on technology to make this feasible. Until such technology appears, we're stuck on this rock. And thus, have to make do with what this rock provides. Which is a lot, but finite.

b) The laws of physics (those related to energy, in particular).

The "eternal growth" is a classical economist's view. Which (sadly) is very pervasive.

Historically, population growth, raw materials consumption, energy use, and technological progress have been tightly coupled.

But this coupling will be loosened.

Technology will probably keep progressing ..somehow.

Energy use might increase if eg. we can get nuclear fusion to work. Even that is not 100% a given, btw (apart from the timescale). How energy is generated will be very different 30..50y from now.

But raw material consumption can NOT keep increasing. There is finite amounts of [insert material here] on this planet. Never mind agri stuff like phosphor, pollution, or the amount of CO2 we can release 'safely'. And it's not feasible to recover 100% of any reserve.

Same with population. Earth is already too crowded. Would you want continued growth until entire Earth surface is covered with humans? Stacked 50 humans high?

No? Then population growth will stop. Not to mention that population growth eats any gains made elsewhere (10% more raw materials, 10% more energy, 10% more food, followed by 10% more people = back to square 1 despite the gains).

Historically this wasn't a problem because those limits weren't hit (well... they were, locally, which caused past civilizations to collapse). But we are hitting those limits now - globally.

It's this decoupling of growth factors that's a hard pill for people to swallow. Especially economists & politicians.

But don't worry! The laws of physics are very reliable.
> full-blown panic attacks, emotional dysregulation, crying

I’ve been there, and I get it. But if you’re on the path to extinguishing Big Fears, this is simply what the process entails. It’s really uncomfortable - until it isn’t.

> sometimes being trapped in a situation miles from safety with no way to get back

I’m not sure what you mean by this part. If you’re referring to the symptoms above (panic attacks, crying, dysregulation), I think you’d be better served to refrain from thinking of these symptoms as a loss of “safety”. They’re feelings of intense discomfort - but not danger. And they’re temporary.

> being traumatized for days afterwards and (very rationally) avoiding the situation in the future

Avoiding the situation post-exposure unfortunately “un-does” much of the benefit of the exposure: it reinforces the neural pathways that make you feel a sense of danger in the first place.

This is not the pattern you went to be in. If you’re finding it too difficult to resist this, it might be a good idea to begin with smaller steps. That means doing less intimidating exposures so that you can be more successful in sticking with it until the fear comes down.

> The people who want me to put myself into fearful situations are people who want to hurt me

This is absolutely not true. No one gets sadistic pleasure out of the temporary pain that anxiety treatment brings. It’s just the price of getting better: to conquer your fears, you have to go all the way through them. By analogy, you can’t get physically fit without first going though some soreness and discomfort.

Based on what you wrote, I’d highly recommend finding a therapist who has expertise in exposure with response prevention. They will know, from having treated many others in your situation, how to design a treatment program that meets your needs and that you can succeed in.

That is when using propane for electricity.

I think there is a lot more value in burning propane for heating houses. Especially in places (like Europe where I live) that are already build to use gas for heating.

Especially if you consider the massive gas-storage facilities that are common here. We have 12 billion cubic meters of gas-storage here in the Netherlands, on a yearly consumption of 40 billion. That means we could use 'green propane' to load-shift about 30% of our heating from winter to summer. That would be amazing.
