You don't give the reasons why. Having off-site backup is always wise. I keep my original photos at home.
Climate change is, in a sense, a massive store of value that you can take from without the consent of those who pay. Which makes it very hard for economics-minded thinking to overlook as a lazy way to thrive.
Wages aren't really something you can compare directly, not having to account for hugely expensive random healthcare events, or being able to send your children to good schools without dishing out tens of thousands of dollars (or even simply not living in American cities/suburbs) count for a lot. Mobility exists, and as such I'm inclined to believe the law of one price applies to the labor markets due to the fact that neither USA or Europe is completely deserted. It's just about which tradeoffs you are willing to make.

Of course, I find USA's situation a bit more unstable because remote work is getting more common. How much is the premium for having people in the same physical location anyway?

> Bullets cause cylinders under pressure to explode.

They don't actually - they cause pressurised containers (propane for example) to outgas but they don't cause an explosion or even ignition.

You can shoot clean through a propane tank with a 50 cal bullet and not even see (from a distance) the effect .. unless the air temp and humidty is enough to condense water about the outgassing.

Go and check out some "let's shoot a propane tank" videos - no explosions UNLESS someone rigs an ignition source (lit flare, etc).

You've been getting your 'facts' from Hollywood.
The sky-high energy prices are not because the end of coal and nuclear, but because the conservative government that ruled for the past 16 years streamlined the entire energy system so that it depended on cheap russian gas. However, prices are already down to normal again.
That's interesting, I had never considered "main branch is red" as a similar fail state to the Toyota case, but I totally agree with that comparison!
Sitting here in Europe, reading this, I can only chuckle. You will get fined if you call a policeman a "buddy" (Hawara) in Austria [1]. You got fined for sitting outside alone on a park bench during COVID or if you played with your kids on a public lawn [2]. All public parks were closed. We had lockdowns until mid-2022. If you insult a politician online, you will be fined or put in jail [3].
It feels like a completely different world that the author of this post is living in.

> I started a company in Germany recently, which is like a 29 step 3 month process that costs around 1000€.

To put this in perspective: You can also start a company in Germany for 30 Euro and 15 minutes of time.

That's a so called "Kleingewerbe" where you can make up to 22.000 Euro/year turnaround with _much_ easier regulations on pretty much everything.

If you want to test something or have some side hustle going on, that's the way to go.

Don't be scared by all the reports like the above.
I think the flip side of this is that the workers are diverted from their typically assigned tasks and all work together to resolve the problem and they collectively take responsibility for enacting any lessons learned … it’s an approach that’s quite at odds with the traditional Taylorism approach of everybody just doing their own job. It might also be perceived as slightly Marxist by some while ironically being viewed with suspicion by unions … it also recognises that management don’t have all the answers. You would need an organisation with a lot of trust to enact something like this I think. Trust is in short supply in global business so you have to weigh the cost benefits of a global workforce vs cost benefits of organisational cohesion.
One of the problems is that solar and wind are being billed as a drop in replacement for gigawatt-scale electricity production, when in reality it’s likely going to find it place at the micro level to help alleviate the load and cost in smaller settings.

The problem with energy is rarely the source (we can derive energy out of most anything that moves, heats, or shines), but the storage. Coal, natural gas, and nuclear are gigawatt-scale producers of energy because we can ramp up production at any time by simply shoveling more of our stockpile of fuel into the proverbial furnace. We can predict when solar or wind will give us power, but this is cold comfort if we need it now and it’s not windy or dark.

This is why I’m bullish with hydrogen because it offers a way to store energy chemically that does not wear out like a battery and operates at 40-60% efficiency vs sub-25% for combination-driven power generation.
I have two e-readers somewhere in my drawer (some Kobo and a Paperwhite) and I still read from my phone/laptop.

How do I get it to run after downloading .tar.gz of latest release? Quickly glanced over the contents of files and it rings no bells of what this thing is or how to even build it. If it's in javascript, I should just point my web server root directory to this folder, but I don't see any index files in there.
They are falling from the Ukraine-war special-circumstances peak down to the pre-war rising slope. 30ct/kWh is still 50-100% higher than what e.g. France, Poland, or the UK (comparable in size and economy) are paying.

Btw., those aren't even really low. Heavy industry, data centers and other energy-intensive industries are migrating heavily towards 1-digit-cent-per-kWh countries, so <10ct/kWh.
If only they wouldn't snoop/monetise what they can see.

During Covid WFH, I wrote a tiny script that marked all the music albums on my computer as 'unlistened', and then offered me a list of 10 from which I could choose one to listen to.

I got through everything, deleted about a quarter, and even took about 10% of my CDs to the recycling/exchange place.

This would be much less practical with video.
It starts well, and then it shows a fundamental problem: not everyone agrees on what a good quest is.

The first image shows a graph where the best quest is "Colony on Mars". It goes on with:

> The quintessential example of successful founders using their social capital for good are the billionaire space cowboys — Musk, Branson, and Bezos.

This to me is complete nonsense. The best quest would be "Survive on Earth", and the resources put into going to Mars are actually counter-productive in that sense. The modern space business is accelerating our big problems on Earth, which are biodiversity loss, climate change, and energy (all of which have a single common cause: abundant energy and our use of it).

Yes, Silicon Valley faces a crisis of nonsense, I agree. But the first step would be to realize what a good quest is. It feels like it should not be too hard (our entire civilization may well collapse in less time than it took to go from the space shuttle to SpaceX), but obviously it's not clear at all.

Well, I've seen a lot of discussions which try to prove otherwise. But perhaps it also depends a bit on the level in Software Engineering? If you are new, it might be that back-end feels more complex.

But yeah, front-end even feels harder to debug at some points like the one I mentioned in the OP, at least for me. Not to mention the facts you keep overthinking what might be a good solution in terms of UX (in case that too many DOM elements is the issue of slow performance).
>I find USA's situation a bit more unstable because remote work is getting more common

Why is that unstable?
As can be seen, over-reliance on expensive non-Russian gas is not exactly a blessing and indicates that the “over”-reliance on cheap Russian gas was rational, but alas incompatible with US hegemony.

Many EU countries depended and still depend on Russian gas, including hardcore Russia hawks. It’s cheap and easily transportable. This beats morality every time, as can be seen from the past support of various dictatorships, autocracies and the various coups enacted to secure energy for the US and Western Europe.

With an important chunk of deliveries coming from Quatar, Azerbaijan, etc new suppliers are hardly better, but on the positive side at least aren’t invading anyone at the moment.
That's only slightly related to Energiewende and more to the need for cheap russian gas.

Also, this is just one article, this topic has received a lot of coverage in the French press, providing lots of additional details about his political background.[1]

Germany relies on so much natural gas for manufacturing (not just for energy, but as a raw material for chemical processing). At the very least though, they should build a few state of the art nuclear power plants. Their obsession with renewable energy is crippling them in this age of high natural gas prices.
I would like to pose the claim that distributed computing is probably not more complicated than the distributed production of automobiles.

Maybe The Toyota Way is actually bunk from the get go. But if you buy into the idea that it does work, then why would it not be applicable in software development? This is the core thing that interests me.

Nope. The Greens are the first to give up their ideology to come to an agreement with other parties. It's called "Realpolitik". They were also the ones who warned against increasing dependency to Russia, but were ignored when CDU was in power. You know, the conservative party, that sat on their asses for 16 years doing almost nothing in terms of renewable...

V was never a "scam" or "vaporware", that's a false characterization and misuse of the terms. Such is being done for the purpose of attempting to hurt the public image of competition, for the benefit of certain parties.

V has been open-sourced, on GitHub, and downloadable since June 22nd of 2019. The language creator publicly stated he would put it out in late June, and did.

There was some excessive fuss about, around June of 2019, over a Patreon supporter early release. That was his right to do such a release, and it was specific for those supporters, but detractors were "angry" that it wasn't for them or open-sourced.

What some detractors were trying to do, was claim that V would never be released because it was somehow a "scam" or "vaporware". That is, there was nothing to release. They were of course wrong, because V was publicly released. That's when targets were switched or the goal posts moved. Anything that could be used to attempt to justify the earlier vitriol, inhibit the rising popularity, or hurt the public image of the language was used.

Furthermore, no programming language is released as a finished product. And an alpha version of any language, is understood by most, as work in progress (WIP) by default. There is no "scam" there. For open-source projects, any person is free to contribute, if they are really so technically knowledgeable as they claim or give the appearance of being. Everyone is free to donate or sponsor a project that they like, there's nothing nefarious about that.

If positioned in a fixed location over critical energy infrastructure , this drone is on another level.

Rockets that contain hydrogen have self-destruct, and NASA doesn't want to load a rocket with Hydrogen while astronauts are onboard on the ground; though rocket fuel hydrogen is chilled and pressurized with lots of energy.

The true cost of guarding a hydrogen blimp that's guarding the critical infrastructure? Is it as much as guarding an upriver reactor cask that's under ordinance spec?

Compared to grid scale battery farms for energy storage, would
Gravitational Potential Energy and/or CAES Compressed Air Energy Storage (which are less lossy, anyway) be less of a liability if in the flight path of a slow to fixed hydrogen airship?

Aerospace-grade [hydrogen, jet fuel,] tanks are probably more impact resistant than any airship ever?

Which critical energy facilities have procedures for handling a hydrogen airship in their airspace with and without a wind event?

Gravitational Potential Energy in old mines is enough energy storage for domestic US needs FWIU, but supercapacitors or ultracapacitors may be necessary to handle renewable load spikes when the sun shines across the grid.
I've worked two places that had this rule, and both of them only needed it because they had profound issues elsewhere in their management practice that were leading to trust issues. One of them was almost certainly cargo culting Amazon.

There's only one place I can think of that might have benefited from that rule, and there were other solutions that would have worked as well if not better. Like a boss with a backbone.

> Wages aren't really something you can compare directly

You can still account for all of those thing.

As far as schools are concerned it’s highly variable in the US. There are certainly some very good public schools just living expenses are also likely to be much higher in those areas.

> It's just about which tradeoffs you are willing to make.

So a country with highly accessible social services must also have a stagnant economy and unaffordable housing? I don’t really see the link..
Oh, I’ve tried Duet and it’s awful compared with Sidecar.
In Portugal we have this stamp thing as well. I remember being dumbfounded that we were stamping as a form of "signature" for the company. The whole process of company bureaucracy is really like being transported to the 60s.

Don't get me started on making certain legal statements in a kind of commerce registry. It almost feels royal with handwritten stuff and a person helpfully dictating the correct legal incantation that properly changes the social capital. At least the workers were indeed helpful.

To top it off we got Portuguese legalese letters from the tax authority that were unreadable to the founders. They were so convoluted, we thought we owed something but in fact we were being asked to withhold payment to another company which owed tax money. It was so convoluted I asked a lawyer.

Regarding applying for money. We did apply for money and got granted but the money turned out to exclude wages or the founders so we rushed to have profitability otherwise we could just not support ourselves. We still did money but it was a miserable life and we earned far better being employed. This is the same in Poland, with some fellow aeronautics colleagues. That is the "VC" system in Europe. No trust, no understanding: everything stays the same except for the ones who know the system.

A fellow startup-er made a demo to a bigger company proving the concept, the bigger company took the demo, and showed to another bigger company because the money they could ask for would be bigger. Of course the bigger partner had no experience and the project came up empty.

Lastly, I tried to do business as a consultant to Portugal, while being a resident in Poland. Due to me being a citizen I needed to pay VAT even though I would not need to because I am not a tax resident there and would be double taxed. I canceled the contract as again I earn more employed and cannot be bothered.

Finally, as it is not only a problem of VC, me and my business partner were engineers and we definitely were out of depth on running a company to the full potential. Looking back I would have liked to have paid for a professional manager that would understand doing business better.

I’ve heard this thinking described as a fallacy somewhere - in economics I think - nobody has total knowledge of any complex system. So it is not valid to say any kind of complex computer system only does what manifests in its commands is the result of the interactions of many people, analogous to thermal noise jiggling a grain of sand in suspension.

WebGPU doesn't ingest data directly, it always goes through JS/WASM. Presumably they are streaming the data in small chunks through into WebGPU. I could imagine several ways of doing it, but sometimes in browsers, things that ought to work don't, so a demonstrated working method would be interesting to know about, if someone can locate the actual code that does it. (Also, it's pretty silly that you can allocate far more VRAM than RAM on the web platform.)

Isn't that what your degrees are in?

Thanks for checking out my profile. Your profile doesn't say anything so, no, I just had to base it on what you said.

Wow, you get nasty, don't you? I must have said something true. You're not making assumptions about me? You say I don't have credibility? You attack my instinct and you don't even know me? Right...it was at that point that I started thinking, maybe this is about you, so I started talking about that. Now you play the fake victim in a problem you created.

So now logic and experience is bullshit? If by bullshit you mean, life experience and stuff that's true then yeah, I guess I have a masters in that. How about you? Stuff that you disagree with but don't know what to say, can't back it with science or evidence, and don't want to talk about why it's important for you? Yeah that seems pretty bullshit to me. I guess that's your major, right?

I just saw your reply; I've been busy. But I actually think you're the one bullshitting here. You have a weird attitude about this topic, and pretend your opinions are backed by science, when they're not. Why not just have the courage of your convictions and own them? Whatever reasons you think that, it's not science. It's just your opinions.

I haven't really begun using my instinct on you yet, you might not like what I see. You already don't like what I said. You might find what I see looks like "you suffocating someone" so you can be heard. Best of luck, weird bullshitting time waster! Hope you don't get caught...that would be a shame...
