Thanks for the very informative response. Really helps to understand the reasoning.

To me, personally, the obsession for cryptic acronyms and mangled words is a relic of the '60ies which could need an update. It was motivated by limited RAM and CPU time for the compilers, it was never the right choice but a necessary cut. It should have ended in the '90ies. Redundant words fall in a similar category, as something looking smart now and being the reason for further criticism as they are discovered to be nothing more than dummy stubs to simplify one specific tool/task.

Java and JS showed you can have a language with keywords written in correct English (ok, except for enum) and still be part of the extended C family.

It's frankly surprising how shockingly ugly is a modern language like Rust, where literally not a single keyword is written properly. Dyslexic by design, yet requiring vast amount of resources to parse/compile.

It can be fun while it's the underdog language, but as it gains prominence, it will just flood the world with weird syllables and strings which is too late to fix. Until the next language takes over.

I hope you understand why I'd rather avoid having a new and promising language go down the same path.

I am not suggesting any modification, I respect your code, your way of thinking, your effort to create something new. I'd however like to share my concerns as constructive criticism

Sure, personal pride might cause someone to continue to inflate stats even after leaving a project. I can't speak for Tim or his motives here.

It's completely reasonable to continue to be skeptical of these claims without public numbers.

FWIW, I was surprised by the numbers myself but it's above my pay grade to share them publicly or discuss specifics.

I am not a physicist, so asking this likely "stupid question" here: In which way are those particles from space "high energy"? Is that all kinetic energy, i. e. being closer to light speed than lower energy particles from space? Or is there another component? Thanks in advance.

I was very surprised to hear that Google has announced their commitment to support the Pixel 8 for an impressive seven years.

It sparked my curiosity to compare the historical track record of tech giants like Google, Apple and Samsung, when it comes to updating the OS on their devices.

Negative pricing also has an incentivising effect

If your output regularly drops to low / negative levels - invest in storage and sell when the price is higher. If it occurs grid wide - interconnect to neighbouring grids.
It's impossible to undo because a lot of bids are build on the top of other bids. You would need to undo tons of history. A lot of legit players and traders would lose money. They would sue for market manipulation.

However this does not prevent doing other trades on the top this trade to other direction. It is the question who catches the falling dagger and pays for the mistake of others.

This is my suspicion as well. In the end it is very dangerous to let google decide which venues get business and which get hidden completely. Eventually paying google maps becomes akin to protection racket.
For me the weird thing is that I couldn't imagine myself eating alone at a restaurant (and basically never did)... until I had to travel for work. Suddenly, eating at restaurants by myself was mandatory, and it was perfectly fine and normal. Nothing to be scared of.

Now I can eat by myself wherever, whenever, no issues.

It's strange how being forced to do something can make you change your perspective so completely.

Given enough regression testing coverage, any load-bearing function can be changed.

This sounds to me like your project had insufficient or non-existent software quality practices to let this slip through. Hopefully your team has done a post-mortem analysis to make this a learning experience.
You use more math soup that gets the original examples out. Not perfectly, but possibly good enough.

There are many market participants, some of whom start trading on this information immediately. The Finnish grid is connected to the rest of Europe so a market participant could in principle flow this cheap energy from Finland all the way to Spain if the cables had capacity.

Our dev machines (mostly Mac) are also locked down, thankfully we have “Admin By Request” which works better than calling in IT at least.

Fire up an ABR session, do your admin stuff, close the session. A minor hassle and it gives IT a paper trail for later (and probably pings someone if certain software names come up during a session).
But what's the benefit of cutting out the full-blown operating system? It's rare that such things would be the bottleneck.

Thanks. I thought the Rust backend was still LLVM.
Honestly it’s not the shame that make me avoid this but it’s more the lack of sense I feel to an experience if I don’t share it with someone.

As an example, I have no issue eating alone in a restaurant if it’s needed and I can even appreciate the loneliness when it happens but I can’t see the interest to go out alone on my own.

But I can acknowledge that maybe I’m missing something.
Physical commodities cannot be delivered instantaneously, additionally there is no giant warehouse at the commodity exchange that stores the commodities. This means that what you are going to trade is a delivery contract.

If you play a game like Prosperous Universe, there is no delivery problem on the central commodity exchanges and the commodity exchange has infinite storage capacity. When you buy something, you instantly receive the commodity.

If you want to know why there are duration differences on the contract beyond the delivery itself, e.g. why someone would issue the contract 3 months or 6 months before delivery, then the reason is that they want to minimize income fluctuations or to pay off specific contracts. Similar to how businesses want to turn capex into opex at exactly the rate the money comes in, but this time the goal is for the income to arrive at the same time as the expenses.
They have price limits, but I think GP means volume alert limits. Someone unexpectedly bids a third of the Finnish production capacity, you call them and ask if they are sure.
> The standard monthly quota plans are 1TB and 10TB for residential, and 2TB and 20TB for SOHO/business, which is pretty workable for most use cases.

How much does it cost to upgrade from 1TB to 10TB?

I don't care how common a cap like that is, or what abominable caps some other service might have. 1TB for a whole month is only 3 megabits per second average, and that is not a good amount. And it should definitely be possible to buy more than 30 megabits per second average for a residence. For a business, 20TB in a month is good for a few employees but breaks down very fast if they start working remotely.
Same as not linking with the new lib?

I understand it may be different if the software is distributed through the package manager of linux distribution because you have to follow what's provided by the distribution. But for a commercial software you can probably bundle your own libraries in executable or compile it statically.

But I am not familiar with the difficulties of the above process so I am probably missing something.
>It tells me at a glance whether some area is a forest or just a field. Everything's just the same color in Google Maps.

Thank you. Everyone is talking about the color of the water or the roads, but this doesn't even bother me. But having all vegetation of any kind in the same color is an absolutely mind-bogglingly stupid decision. I can't be the only one who uses Maps to check the extents of a forest, for example. Or who uses shapes of different land uses to quickly orient oneself on a map.
Who gets to decide what propaganda is?
In 2009 I had extensive conversations with the design team. The scale device is a critical feature for people who want to use the maps app as a map. Google's response to it's removal then was they expected people only use the maps app as a "background upon to place directions." That's why they only display major street names, only display ranges in the context of directions and keep removing the scale device.

It's not a map application, it's a wayfinder.

Which mirrors what I remember from said ESA study (which for love of the universe cannot find online anymore, and I didn't download it back the day). The big question I took from that study was, which was also the point of it, was whether or not if there is enough demand to get over that threshold (whatever the ESA number was) to justify the development of a reusable booster. The answer back then was, back when Starlink wasn't a thing yet and the Russians were still in the market, was no, there isn't enough demand.

Today, it seems, a lot of the launch volume comes from Starlink, which is basically SpaceX in-house demand for something we have no clue about its financial viability or profitability. Hence, I am quite sceptic about a lot of the space launch stuff. We have quite reliable numbers for SpaceX competitors (launch costs, development...) while SpaceX is somewhat of a black box. That alone makes comparing claims from SpaceX (which might well be true, but we cannot tell either way) to verifiable numbers from others dubious at best.

My biggest gripe is trying to read road names.

So many times I'll see a road name, and I start to zoom in - only to have it now disappear - to then zoom out again and it doesn't show at all - to zoom in again and then 50/50 I can see it.

Drives me nuts.

Where I'm living (Indonesia) most people reference parts of town by the major road nearby. I try to learn where the hell I am in a certain new locale by looking at the road name (They aren't often seen on physical signs, either) and it takes me forever to find it. Doesn't help that it's a regular practice that the road name changes after some time, even though it's the same road.
Ask HN: What will you do when AGI's make you obselete?
I'm by no means thinking this will happen imminently. But the news last night around A* made me wonder. If AGI really is 5/10/15 years out, it will presumably make most software engineers & people involved in the creation of software obsolete. Including myself. The average age of a software engineer is 39 years old. There are currently 27 million software engineers in the world. What will we all retrain as? Which professions do people think will still make sense to be done by us humans in the meat space?
What is this "Quality Loss" they speak of regarding downsampling from 48KHz to 44.1KHz? When resampling is done properly, you'd only lose very high frequency content (frequencies above 22050Hz).

Synching multiple optical telescopes into a single aperture is ... hard. Observatories also have special-purpose instruments behind the glass. Can't imagine those being split into small enough pieces to disperse into a constellation. Also, low LEO isn't great for many kinds of astronomy.

What exactly is it you think it can't do? It can explain and apply a number of methods for calculating sin. For sin it knows the symmetry and periodicity, and so will treat requests for sin of larger values accordingly. To convince it to continue to write out the numbers for an arbitrary large number of values without emitting "... continue like this" or similar shortcut a human told to do annoyingly pointless repetitive work would also be prone to prefer is indeed tricky, but there's nothing to suggest it can't do it.

There is a misconception that innovation comes mainly from the private sector. Its the opposite: innovation comes from the public sector.

"We pretend that the government was at best just in the background creating the basic conditions (skills, infrastructure, basic science). But the truth is that the involvement required massive risk taking along the entire innovation chain: basic research, applied research and early stage financing of companies themselves.”

I’ve used physiotherapy over the past decade for three injuries and can say categorically that it alleviates pain, speeds up injury recovery and prevents injury.

Thought experiment: what if you copied and restored the backup into two bodies, and both bodies were a state continuation of the original? Would the two existences be simultaneously the smae person? I think it would make more sense to say that at the moment of cloning the two bodies are separate consciousnesses with the same state.

In your analogy, if you copied the VM state onto two different host systems, I would think each host system would be a separate conscious experience. It's whatever being a host system is that generates consciousness, not the state itself.
Amazing reasoning. Let's hope not everyone in our industry will also think the same, otherwise we're pretty much doomed :)

Fourth, it was never wanted from the Android team, with key figures like Jake Wharton having issues with it,

"Flutter is a manifestation of everything wrong with Google as a company. A language that should have (and did) fail but kept alive. Control of the two most popular platforms on the planet and failing to unify them while allowing a third to be created that actively undermines both"

You also see this from Flutter's point of view on Tim's tweets

"That all happened, and set a bar that others had to invest heavily to compete with. Jetpack Compose was essentially a Kotlin clone of Flutter, literally to the point of translating large chunks of code."

To this day, Flutter is yet to be part of the official SDK tooling.
That's the reason why it was replaced by two separate, more sensible commands:
git switch for switching branches etc, which is safe, and the inherently dangerous git restore for reverting changes in your working directory.
I think it's mainly because of large amount of rooftop solars which are either unable or don't have incentive to curtail, and then there are coal generators already running at their lowest output level.
They used to use Russian rockets as well just few years back because it was cheaper[1], even though US has an more expensive replacement. I don't see any reason why US won't opt for europe's rocket if it means better cost.

If you’re a gadget head I’d implore you try and establish a good eBay routine. I find it cathartic to sell my old gadgets there. It’s not just that there’s money to be made but it’s guaranteed that someone gets a use out of your beloved gadget for a bit longer. I recently sold a 13 year old Asus netbook for 50 bucks. It still ran and browsed the internet. I’m sure it’s of some use to someone still.
You raised no points. You said you don't like ads. It was pointed out you can pay to not see ads and you said that was just as bad(because reasons? You're morally opposed to ad based systems but you aren't opposed enough to stop propping YouTube up with traffic. Your morals stop exactly where they would start to inconvenience you, they are pretend). And that if they really want you to compensate them for taking their resources they should make the internet worse by making it impossible for anyone to choose viewing ads over paying. You're selfish and trying to find a way to justify it that doesn't boil down to selfish and cheap and you won't find it because that is literally your only justification.
