>Solar and wind are great but they don’t provide a continuous source of energy.

This is a solved problem through various forms of storage (synthetic gas, pumped hydro, batteries etc).

Nuclear is a solid baseline for sure but I don't think there is a way around the security requirements, which means it will become too expensive to keep around when free energy from the sun can be stored cheaply.
It varies from country to country, culture to culture. Here in Norway work from home was so normal that during COVID there really wasn't any qualitative change, just a quantitative one. Anyone in a salaried position is being paid for the work they do not where they do it. In the winter my boss would occasionally rent a cabin in the mountains and work there while I, mostly, went in to the office because it was quieter there than at home (three children).
I feel like I'd still want the body on its own line from the signature definition just for readability. And with the parser problems described in TFA, I'd say that parens should be mandatory coding-style enforced by linter.

def initialize(text)
= (@text = text)
def inspect
= ("#<#{self.class} #{text}>")
def ==(other)
= (other.is_a?(Word) && text == other.text)

seems like a good compromise.

edit: this is similar to our standard when writing one-liner methods in C#. A bit noisier because of types and visibility, but still pretty concise, imho.

public void Initialize(string text)
=> Text = text;
// I actually hate the above a bit because "=>"
// originally implied functional/no-side-effects
// in C#, but the world moves on.

public string Inspect()
=> $"{this.GetType().Name} {text}>";

public static bool operator== (Word a, Word b)
=> a.Text == b.Text;

It’s not a real controversy in the sense that you actually understood what I meant, but chose to be obtuse and act as if you didn’t. Apply that same logic to the Supreme Court - this is an area of extremely well-settled law. The only controversy is that the far-right Supreme Court seems an opportunity to decimate the administrative state and invents a so-called legal controversy to achieve that aim.

> We have a soft limit on class length of 100 lines, and I like the extra conciseness this allows.

The "compact" line format is something that is very information dense and really really hard to parse for a human's eye, compared to the clearly visually structured prior format.

Personally, if I'd see something like that outside of a code golf tournament, I'd run because that kind of code density means that at least one of the developer(s) believes themselves to be some kind of code wizard who loves Matrix-style display, and it means that new developers have a very steep learning curve ahead of them.
I think there is a critical error in the judgement you make here, we can see that they advertise[0] the finesse of macOS. But what does this really mean? Let's think about it.

But before that, they clearly must be aware that... it's just bad (lightly put), yet it comes off very clearly that they're trying to copy[1] visual elements of Mac. So what does the author think finesse mean?

For my perspective, I'll quote the first definition I get on a Google search, "impressive delicacy and skill." We can argue that Mac does provide this (I believe it does, the experience is very opinionated (which also leads to stuff being intentional) and seamless across their devices, consistent (more than just the potential for consistency, which is what Windows provides), and so on, and so forth.

But, this is nothing like what we see in the current RavynOS. Nothing feels intentional. The advertising is misleading, and I don't think that it's something solvable in the future unless the person responsible for advertising and guaranteeing the presence of this "finesse" update their understanding of the word and clearly defines what that should mean in practice.

Update1: to add to my previous points, if my perception of the word "finesse" is correct, for something to have the "finesse of macOS," it wouldn't even have to look like it, but just achieve the same goal in it's own way (or Apple's way, that's "fine" but leaves a bad taste.)

Google Docs actually uses a flat array representation of the whole document. Tables/lists and other structures are encoded using control-characters in the plain string. This makes index calculations for OT a bit easier.

Glad to meet you. Huge fan of CKeditor's modular architecture of the editor. Making something with that level of customization and supporting realtime collaboration is not an easy feat at all!

What are your thoughts on CRDT generally? Will CKeditor ever look into adopting CRDTs in the future?
This is a very narrow minded take. Every big software success story - Gmail, Slack, Dropbox, Zoom… - was business-to-consumer explicitly or in disguise.

Then again, I’m not saying much that vendors screw up pricing when they choose a price other than “$0,” which is an essential part of B2B-disguised-as-B2C software. Easy for me to say.

Anyway, the boomers you are talking about are retiring out of the workforce, and it will be more likely than ever that the audience will be extremely sensitive to UX, desiring something the most like TikTok and Instagram than ever.
Unlimited vacation is always, always a 100 percent scam.

Unlimited vacation would mean that you go to work never yet you remain on the payroll.

Obviously this is impossible. So “unlimited vacation” really means that there is a limit, but your employer either doesn’t know what it is or won’t tell you, and you don’t know what it is. So you have to worry about how much vacation to take because there is a limit, it’s just not definitized.

Always a 100% complete scam.
Wooo, love this - thanks for sharing!
Fun bit of trivia for you: members of my family claim my great grandmother taught Earl Scruggs the finger roll technique he made famous. He was boyhood friends with my grandmother's brother and they would hang out and pick on the porch.

His wikipedia page suggests the technique was common in the area, so while she probably didn't teach it to him, there's probably a kernel of truth in there somewhere.

Work should be structured to be as non blocking as possible in the first place. If its not, there is either an issue in planning, resources, or in (unlikely) cases, truly it has to be serial, in which case it should be planned accordingly

I'd also argue, that 2 people being blocked because of X should warrant breaking through any focus period, as thats clear indication of an issue that needs more attention.

If you're talking about 2 people being blocked simply because they don't know what to do, thats why companies should have proper mentorship programs in the first place, it was a need hidden because being in-office made this less visible of a need, but it was always there, and dedicated mentorships are better than ad-hoc problem solving in these types of cases. Not every senior needs to be in the "deep work" pool (we do mentorship on rotation where I work)
cute stories, whimiscal ascii art reveal over time, problems of various difficulty, and the cool (to me) idea that many people are working and "struggling" with the same idea/problem over time. I'm also in awe at the work that goes into it. It's like watching a master craftsman to consider Eric making 25 unique puzzles, testing them, crafting many inputs that all work with the same rules, writing hints and stories to go for each puzzle. It boggles the mind.

An expert wouldn't go to W3schools to begin with. They would have far more specific problems that would be better explored on Stack Overflow.

A beginner on the other hand would have their SO questions locked/closed within minutes because it would likely break any one of the thousand little rules SO has (to reduce duplicates) that are unknown to beginners.

Horses for courses; I read the official MDN and PHP docs now, but I didn't when I began because those sites assume an enormous amount of prior knowledge about programming.
You can't copy a unique_ptr. You're making two distinct unique_ptrs that point to the same thing. You can avoid that by... Well, by not doing that. Thankfully, the obvious way to do that, by copying the unique_ptr, is not allowed, thus making it harder for it to happen on accident.

The difference between code with unique_ptr and code without is that you can statically analyze the unsafe usages of unique_ptr, whereas it's basically not possible to do so for raw memory allocations. In fact, it solves most of the problem to just use make_unique wherever possible; you might be able to blanket-ban the normal constructor in your codebase and only use it with an exception.

The unique_ptr itself upholds all of the invariants that it promises to, which makes it a useful safety primitive. It, however, exists in a very, very memory-unsafe language, so of course, it's completely possible to blow past that and do anything else around it. This is unfortunate, but literally unavoidable if you want to stick to C++. In the meantime, if you're going to use C++, consider trying to limit yourself to the safe and correct subset of unique_ptr usage. You won't need as many exceptions as you think. (A neat thing I learned somewhat recently is that you can upgrade a unique_ptr directly into a shared_ptr. This is helpful because while shared_ptr is ideally very seldom used, it does mean that at least you don't have to eat the cost of shared_ptr until the exact point that you know you need it.)

> LLMs are trained on text and images and are disembodied.

Are we sure we aren't the same?

In fact, I'd argue that we "humans" have no way to tell whether we're actually human, or whether we're inside a simulation that's using simulations to train human intelligence.
I'd guess it's the same thing that makes any niche language difficult to use for real: developer education, tooling and lack of third party libraries. Mainstream languages tend to have these three things in spades, and the language itself is good enough.
Numerous people (Matt Levine, etc) smarter than me have written about how there was no $1B break up fee. That fee only came into play if something prevented the deal, like regulators blocking it. Him having buyer's remorse was not sufficient to trigger that clause.

Thanks for the tips :) I believe you pout into words the reason I don't like GNOME - it fell victim to "let's make it touchscreen friendly" at the expense of the way people have been using computers for a long time. Again, it has uses (iPads are perfectly functional and easy to use) but you feel the limitations a lot more when you try to do more advanced things.

My opinion that MacOS wasn't "designed" for multitasking is heavily biased by how I multitask (as you mentioned it's the Win9x style, stemming from using Windows for my formative computing years) so I am not trying to discount MacOS at all - I use it for my music production because Core Audio is rock solid. But then, that's a relatively singular task and as a result I treat it as though its only job is running Ableton at the time.

Multitasking is also different now, since so much of what we do is in the browser anyway.

The 5th Circuit is a right-wing fever dream that makes disastrously unconstitutional rulings literally every day. Lay people who don’t follow the courts or have a legal background might find it hard to accept that our legal system has strayed so very far from constitutional principles, but there has been a fringe right-wing takeover of many courts around the country, and the 5th circuit and the Supreme Court are among the worst offenders.
> our awareness of the galactic bodies itself is somehow influencing them, as in the double-slit experiment

In the double slit experiment, the awareness is not influencing the outcome. The act of measuring is. Pretty sure the act of measuring the galactic bodies has no impact on them in any meaningful way.
This reads like a form validation gone wrong. Like it's set up to parse "0.21" correctly but not ".21".

It is amazing but unless you are the sort of person who knocks together a quick C program to do your work, it's not much _use_.

It has been used on at least one supercomputer:

https://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/blue_gene/petascale_plan_9/

But it can run VMs, so you could run a VM under it... but it might be more use running under a VM itself, alongside more mainstream OSes.
It’s because of https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs3.asp?ActID=3004&C...

Facebook has had to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements for related class-action lawsuits, and rather than trying to get informed consent, they’re deciding not to collect biometrics from residents of those states.
That's exactly what the progression was for me. W3S laid the foundations, and then I went on to MDN and other sources once I felt more comfortable.
I moved a pointer until match then moved back one step to cover overlap, probably not great but worked.
I totally disagree. I have worked remotely for more than a decade and run a team that is 100% remote. The company I work for is remote first as well. For white collar work, there is no difference between remote and on-premise employees. There is a huge difference between remote and on-premise leadership, however.

In my experience, remote workers are significantly more productive than on-site employees IF the culture is one of employee empowerment and trust. If you expect people to be mature, communicate effectively, and get things done AND you give them the tools and support to do it then being remote is absolutely no barrier. It just gives people an extra hour or two a day to think about things and do a little extra work because they are not commuting.

The missing piece is that leaders need to plan, execute, and communicate effectively. They need to empathize with their teams and work with people as individuals, which means extra time and thought and attention. Face-to-face work covers up for a lot of incompetence because that person is standing in front of you. Remote employees can't hide behind a herd and remote leaders can't hide behind an org chart. You don't need to spend millions of dollars on a building to cover up for poor leadership and weak culture.

For reference, I run a team of 10 remote employees and am responsible for highly technical engineers that support sales for a team that generates 8-figures of annual revenue on SaaS and on-prem software.
The cost of attaching a satellite is more than attaching it to the ISS (which has large solar panels, processors, downlink equipment, etc).

We are essentially shipping up an instrument only, rather than the instrument + all the supporting equipment.

For a datacenter analogy, it's like adding a HD to a server, rather than buying a new server for more storage.

It could run from a sat, but then we'd have much fewer missions we could fly.
>The key thing is: we can redistribute where all the wealth generation goes to.

But that goes back to the taxation issue I already mentioned. We can't redistribute wealth if we aren't taxing that wealth the top 1% hoard.

Curent redistribution just means robbing the ever shrinking middle class to give to the lower class and pitting them ageist each other for votes, while the like of Bezos are laughing all the way to their islands on their platinum Yacht.

>There used to be a time where one middle-class income was enough to feed a family of four, live in a decent house in the suburbs, have a car and go to vacation once or twice a year. We need these times, this wealth distribution back.

Those times are not coming back unless you undo globalization to the post-WW2 boom levels when offshoring middle class work abroad was not yet a thing.
If they don't start a company on the side or something, no. They get a relatively nice salary, but probably less than e.g. many high-in-demand programmers.

It had to be rewritten. Essentially there was no formal interface between the frontend and Gecko, and it had turned into a sluggish hairball of a monolith. We redesigned Gecko on Android to be embeddable (GeckoView[1]) and so a new frontend had to be written. That part was absolutely necessary.

The rest of the debate is just about the UX, really.

> Why would distance from earth influence the speed of expansion of a distant galaxy?

It wouldn't - but it may influence how we measure distance. If we're using the wrong distance measurements then we're calculating the speed of expansion incorrectly.
Lets remember that most sedan [and smaller] cars do not fair well in collisions with pick-up trucks like the Ford F250... and neither do pedestrians and cyclists. Then consider all of the even larger, heavily industrial vehicles on the road...

Does look like the cybertruck might be even burlier than a F250... but the point is, we already share the road with "mini-tanks" [that are intrinsically more dangerous to other vehicles in collisions]. Adding one more niche model is not a significant risk increase.
