are you assuming here that we've invented a battery that doesn't burn too?
Factoring in the exchange rate, that's maybe half the the price I paid for a similar system here in the US less than a year ago. The thing that is hurting people is leasing. Basically to avoid people having to front that much cash, there are a lot of people who will install roof-top solar for no-money down- and a 30 year lease on the hardware on top of your own house. Then if you sell the house, now you have to get the new buyer to assume the lease, and the hedge funds who are primarily running the leasing operation are famously bad at running their back-office stuff (because that costs money to do right, but doesn't give them a single extra dollar). When we were looking into this we saw too many horror stories around leasing and decided we had to buy, which has worked out great for us- kicked our monthly power bill during the expensive season from >$500 to <$200, and the house is actually more comfortable than it was before.

The recent changes in the Inflation Reduction Act, offering a 30% tax rebate on all roof-top solar purchases, really changes the calculations and makes leasing much less attractive, so there will probably be many fewer of them going forward. But that also means that there will be less money for the hedge funds that have invested in the leasing, and they will probably make life even worse for the people with existing leases.
Agree with all your points, but I guess one advantage I can see to being more strictly "array purist" is that it forces one to write the whole program in such a way that SIMD & GPU etc optimizations would apply. These days dealing with things in array-sized chunks and avoiding excessive branching has huge advantages, performance wise, but most languages (especially OO languages) herd you into conditional branches on individual scalars, all over the place.

Obviously not applicable for the vast majority of applications, but something to think about: that it would be nice to see array-orientation further up the stack than just "compute this bulk data set on the GPU/TPU."
Air transport is different than ground transport in that mass matters much more. Therefore, the higher energy density your power system has, the better. Last I checked, batteries are still far behind fossil fuels here.

From ecological perspective, mid-term, it makes sense to use renewable power source and captured carbon to synthesize fuel for airplanes to burn. That's properly carbon-neutral, with gasoline being effectively a high-density battery in liquid form.
I think these are not examples; each of your examples is of a failure that (implicitly) has already occurred, but the protagonist hasn't realised it yet.

Not sure about this, but I think from JavaScript you can absolutely probe stuff without explicit user consent.
For instance, without accessing any USB device I can try:

if(!navigator.usb) {
console.log("learned that browser does not have USB capability");
} else {
console.log("learned that browser has USB capability");

navigator.usb.getDevices().then((devices) => {
devices.forEach((device) => {
console.log(device.productName);
console.log(device.manufacturerName);
});
});
}

(Which is useful for fingerprinting.)

There's a featured video linked from the article: "Theoretical Physicist Explains Time in 5 Levels of Difficulty" [1] with physicist Brian Greene.

At minute 5:52 he describes the light clock, and at 6:36 he computes the ratio between a stationary and a moving clock.

In the first passage, he writes T_s / T_m = D / L.

Shouldn't it be the opposite (i.e. L / D), since D is the distance that a photon travels in the moving clock? Can anyone clarify that, please?

This is a reasonable approach for systems that allowed to load binaries (either the running artifact is a binary or semi-binary (WASM executable) or it allows to load .so / .dll from user-provided places).

It basically runs with the promise that you can package CUDA / PyTorch / Python interpreter into the host language in some way, and use it.

This is true for Android, not true for iOS, true for almost all desktop systems, somewhat true for web (packaging PyTorch + Python interpreter in WASM, the latter is easy, the former, I am unsure), probably not true for FAAS environments (such as Cloudflare worker, or AWS Lambda).

I expressed myself too succinctly and without context, sorry.

I don't know the paper you are talking about but the author of this one (David Spivak) does a ton of research on Polynomial Functors and he has a whole book on them: https://topos.site/poly-book.pdf

Poly is an incredibly rich category which can be used to describe a ton of stuff such as finite state machines, neural networks, game interactions, wiring diagrams and dynamical systems more generally. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Poly can describe database migrations.
> most of them use Chromium under the hood but who cares

We should all care, because people start writing apps that work on Safari and Chrome only rather than to a standard. The web wasn't meant to be controlled by two companies, the idea was using standards anybody can implement.

Use Firefox and see what sites you are using regularly that doen't work because they are chrome sepcific.
I agree that its not the ideal solution. Still would be better to use a SBC like the Raspberry Pi or other boards. But was just pointing out that if GPIO needed to interface with slower hardware like relay boards or sensors , then there is an option.
You're only talking about consumer cars. There will always be a range of other vehicles that will benefit from fuel better than batteries.

How to bypass Cloudflare and how to protect your websites
Brilliant summary - mirrors my thoughts and experience quite closely.

Validation/testing has always been a challenge, especially given that dashboards are by definition quite “full stack” implementations where testing just the front end or back end is not sufficient and testing both in isolation can also often be challenging due to the huge possible variations in input data.

Mocking data is also hard because dashboards may also lean a lot on database-side calculations/filtering.

All of this has lead me to take quite a full-fat approach to testing dashboards, by using a real DB populated with test data, and testing the full complete application stack (driven by something like Playwright or Cypress) as well as more granular unit tests where a mocked data layer may be used.

I’m also looking at introducing visual regression tests next time I work on this kind of thing. The visual aspects of dashboards can easily drift over time even if the data is correct. You’re often theming charting libraries for example and the compliance of the theme can drift slightly if you update the library without really checking every detail of the visual appearance/layout every time. Or you may not even notice the “visual drift”…

> If fossil fuels were so bad for the planet, nobody would use them.
If super-processed fast food was so bad, nobody would eat it.
If wars were so bad, nobody would fight in them.
Do you sense where the problem with your argument is, or do I need more examples?

You mention these things as if they had only downsides. They do not. Fossil fuels have lots of advantages: high energy density, good storability, easy transport. Otherwise we would not have any problem getting rid of them.

Same for ultra processed food: it is cheap to make, addictive, has long shelf life so can be easily stored and shipped around the world, and all of that makes them very profitable.

Same for wars: some people or entities (companies, countries, etc) do profit from them (or at least hope or plan to profit).

So yeah, even things you find personally disgusting have some purpose, at least to some people. It’s also the case for YAML, as for all things. Comparing YAML to fossil fuels or wars is unhelpful hyperbole. We should be able to take a deep breath and discuss these things rationally like adults.

The lack of an AD primitive is something I've discussed with the creator of BQN, coming from a JAX world I really miss it and feel that it's such an obvious feature, especially in a language which has a way to turn a tacit function into its AST[1], which has been used for symbolic differentiation[2]. Going from symbolic to reverse-mode AD is not much of a leap and users can define their own primitives with ReBQN[3].

I see what you mean by obfuscation, but I think that it's one of those things that feels really hard and stupid until you start being able to do it really quickly. When you learn a foreign language, you first read letters, then words, then sentences because you become accustomed to larger pieces of the language that you can predict what's coming next without reading it. A similar sort of thing happens with APL/BQN, you read letters (primitives), then you begin to recognise words (small, commonly used groups of primitives), then you see larger patterns which look like magical incantations to an inexperienced user.

These "words" are (typically) tacit phrases, many of them only existing due to specific primitives like swap. Once I used BQN to golf, I started wishing Julia had a swap for operators i.e.

-(3, 5) = -2
swap(-)(3, 5) = 2

I won't defend these languages to the death, but they are fun to puzzle your brain with in codegolf. Maybe Dex[4] will go somewhere too.

Matrix is an interesting idea that might even get there someday, but it's not there now, and won't be there next year. And even then, it's only one breaking change away from not working with some communications app I need.

It's a fragmented world out there, and going with an even more obscure and less supported solution isn't going to cut it.
> Even into the late 90s early 2000, modems (including ADSL) didn't come with a router, you had to establish a PPPoE connection from your computer, which also means your home machine was directly on the WAN with no firewall protection.

Even today modems don't always come with a routers. In fact, I like them that way :).

IIRC, the problem in the late 90s/early 2000s was routers were thought of as only necessary to get multiple computers online, and it was pretty common for people households to only own a single desktop. There wasn't enough security consciousness earned through repeated failure, so it "made sense" to direct connect consumer machines to the internet.

We actually had a LAN years before we had broadband, and I setup a PC running Linux as a router to share our 33.6 modem to the household. But before that? The PC direct dials into the ISP, and got a publicly-routable IP.
Fair question. I think it’s similar to the art of war by Sun Tzu, very abstract principles that one can still use for strategic guidance on conflict situations. The main value of Sun Tzu’s book was the realization that deception is one of the top strategies, but it only has limited applicability.

As for the Tao Te Ching, many interesting ideas can be extracted on how to deal with contemporary challenges.

There was a good npr special on how the well meant deception that masks didn't work, and later that it wasn't a pandemic yet and we could still stop it, decreased trust in a way that ultimately backfired. I'd also add that they have been exaggerating the severity of most flu years (there have been some truly bad flu years) to get vaccinations up, which lead people to compare covid to those exaggerated numbers. Treating citizens like children that must be managed and given limited access to truth will lead to more and more truth management being necessary due to both mistrust and no practice at handling truth responsibly.

But it wasn't just the mask statement. The whole narrative of minimizing the severity of the virus vs stop breathing and stay inside, swapped parties early on in the US. Almost like they said "nah I'm shirts this time and you are skins look at the polls". And much later fox news silently swapped again to support vaccines. It was said the latter was to have Murdoch's properties in the US and UK have a common story, but it could have been lobbying, or just management shifts. In the US antivax has either been right wing faith healing stuff or more commonly left leaning woo medicine stuff. In several countries it was the left against vaccines and masks the whole time. I think it may come down to which party is more individualistic and which is more cooperative in which countries. In the US the right has recently been more individual, but that wasn't always the case, and it isn't the case elsewhere.
In the USA, a 501c3 organization that sees revenues of over about $10k needs a fairly extensive board, officer insurance (to protect board members from claims about misappropriating funds) and other legal stuff. I considered this years ago, but decided that it was not worth the effort.

> On a nonprofit, because obviously, you can't make profit, you can't get anything back from what you created.

I do not agree with your assessment. I do not want the "company" to be "worth" anything. The software is the value, and in keeping with the open source license, the software is a gift to the rest of the world. There merely has to be sufficient revenue associated with it to allow people to work on it at an appropriate level. Profit and "value growth" is not part of the goal.
