He's a polarizing figure for some. Some people like to use the news about Mathematica to debate some of Wolfram's other work in physics or whatever. He's done quite a bit of work so there's lots to debate.
In recent times the Supreme Court has also been staffed by graduates of only a handful of law schools. I think that, more than a dedication to the rule of law, is what sets them apart from the rest of the country. Given the complexities of harmonizing a large body of law that's centuries old, I'm not sure there's a better way. But I think we should always remember that the Supreme Court is by far the least representative and least democratic branch of government.

One problem is that many industry companies do not declare that they develop something for "the good of humanity".

Thank you! My goal was to make it as stupidly simple as possible in the first version.

I am also pretty surprised Google hasn't yet built something that solves this. When localStorage first came out, I was expecting a natural extension would be a way to sync it to a centralized store to avoid having state reset between sessions/devices.
> But unpredictable supply particularly needs on-demand energy. Nuclear can’t respond quickly, so if you don’t have hydro you’re likely left with gas.

Nuclear is baseload, but baseload offsets intermittency.

If you're using solar you've got no generation at night. Suppose you do all the load shifting to the day that you reasonably can and you still need 600 GWh of power for the 12 hours between sunset and sunrise. Well, add 40GW of nuclear and now you only need 120 GWh. You've cut back the amount of gas or batteries you need by quite a lot, but you still have some, which is enough to respond to short-term demand changes. And the nuclear plant generates during the day too, which isn't as valuable but is still not zero and contributes to paying its costs.

> We have some way to go with universal infrastructure support for that though.

At some point there was a fear that this was chicken and egg: No one buys electric cars because there are no chargers so no one builds chargers.

There are enough chargers now that it's viable for a significant proportion of people to buy an electric car. At that point people will just build more chargers in proportion to how many cars need them and there isn't really anything to worry about. And the power can be generated from renewables without having to worry about intermittency because you're charging a battery which is typically stationary for most of the day.

> The major sources today are heating, AC, fridges. Cooking will come up there if you remove gas.

AC is fine, aligns well with solar. Heating is the hard one, but heating is approximately baseload. The best candidate for that seems to be nuclear -- which can also potentially provide cogeneration for buildings in reasonable distance from the plant.

> In either case, industrial and commercial are ~60% of use and how do we move that significantly out of peak hours?

Businesses disproportionately operate 9-5, which is daylight hours. Many industrial operations operate 24H because the cost of paying people a premium to work second and third shift is less than the cost of building three separate factories that only operate 9-5. Now they'll each have to decide if it's also worth paying the cost of energy storage to operate at night.

I’m glad she did. I don’t remember seeing a video like that “behind closed doors”. Goes to show for anybody considering working at Cloudflare to look elsewhere. They’ve mishandled this situation so badly they did more damage than her video ever could have.

Besides, it takes serious guts to do what she did. If CF were honest with her from the get go the video may not even exist. She will be able to find another job but the PR hit and lack of trust in this company will be more difficult to repair I suppose.

Well without a stable home to do so in we aren't comfortable trying to start a family. We (me and my partner) are genuinely trying to follow the same playbook my parents, grandparents and great grandparents did, but even with a household salary about 3x median we're not yet able, at 30 years old.

We're not "not starting families", like its a choice. It's not economically feasible.
> The ABA problem is a false-positive execution of a CAS speculation on a shared memory location.

In safe Rust, if I have a mutable reference to Foo, and Foo contains a shared reference to Bar, then no other thread has a mutable reference to Foo or Bar. So no other thread will make a CAS on my reference to Bar, or drop Bar and then allocate something at the same memory address, etc.

You could have some higher level ABA problem I suppose, where you acquire a lock, read a value, give up the lock, and then make spurious assumptions about what happens while you've let the lock go. But that's obviously not what we're talking about if we're talking about CAS. (ETA: or if these were application level references, eg indices into a list.)

If we're going to implement a lockfree data structure, we're going to need unsafe Rust to hand-roll interior mutability. Because we're going to be sharing mutable state. Which isn't allowed in safe Rust.

Or am I mistaken?

Factory farming of chickens and other animals causes massive aggregate suffering and should be ended, full stop. But chickens can continue to flourish in animal sanctuaries, where they live their own lives without being killed or exploited as food resources. As for wild animals and suffering, that's a big topic. I think for now we need lots more thinking and research, on what is feasible and reasonable there. Reducing suffering is one important consideration among others.
Kind of amazed that while programmers’ whole game is to develop systematic solutions to annoying problems… our own most basic need hasn’t been really met this way?

For instance devdocs does not have a bunch of libraries that I use regularly (selenium bindings in python, etc). I also tried Dash but wasn’t able to just ‘get’ for eg the openai docs and had to go to their website. Meaning I was robbed of the cool features of dash, being able to quickly search structured content.

Just seems ironic.

I believe those costs will decrease in real terms with time. Note that we were also higher up discussing staying home longer precisely to facilitate more affordability for the individual, an additional 3-5 years saving and investing into career and skills will help most individuals in this area significantly if they can do it.
If you've set up many APs already, and find client devices sticking to them too strongly, this is a sign to turn down transmit power on the AP in question. Most ship set to "Max" which is terrible for SNR and spatial separation. Turning down transmit power will cause the client to switch sooner, non-intuitively providing more bandwidth due to better utilization of spatial separation.

I got rid of Prime last November and the thing that I noticed with my shopping is that the blue checkmark made a lot of garbage palatable that I can now simply skip over. I always could skip over it, but now I have no incentive to give it a chance at all. I don't even need to give Amazon the chance, actually. Specifically with clothes, I was fooling myself into thinking I would find good items with a blue checkmark. All the quality brands have taken their ball and gone home to their own website, now only chaff remains.

The extra week on every purchase is a little grating, but honestly, maybe spending money online SHOULD have some friction. the blue checkmark is brainrot. It's tricking you into importing garbage instead of being more selective. It's inviting you to impulse purchase instead of pausing and considering if this is worth it. free thyself.
I have several times ordered what appeared to be genuine, but turned out to be counterfeit products from Amazon which made it very easy to stop using the platform all together. Not only due to a concern about the build quality, but also safety. Who wants to give their kids, or cook with, counterfeit products which may contain toxic or carcinogenic materials?

I used protobufs for a short while and came to the realization that they’re just Go’s opinionated idioms forced on other languages via awkward SDKs. Particularly did not like having to use codegen, rely on Google’s annotations for basic functionality or deal with field masks that are a sort of poor man’s GraphQL.

I get it, Google made trade offs that work for them, and I agree with their position - but for someone at a smaller company working in a non-Go/Java/C programming language it was just a ton of friction for no benefit.

I'm probably gonna get downvoted for this, but I find allowing the technology to be used for all kinds of different things more "open" than arbitrary restrictions.

You can have multiple prosecutors. E.g., if one does not want to prosecute (and so not get paid) then another will.

The secret is literally transferred when you first set it up encoded in plaintext in a QR code, and then again, as I expect most here use a service like Authy.

15 years ago I remember a lot more experimentation was encouraged and a lot less process. I could have an idea and get an enthusiastic "go for it". I could improve the way we deployed code. We had some semblance of "agile" but it was much more informal. I had passwords to everything.

I do not think you have picked a good example. Mao was a pretty nasty piece of work. The relatively prosperity of modern China is the result of abandoning his ideology - and a large chunk is the result of reversing the damage he and his followers did.

I imagine there must be some scholarships for vets? And if you've never done this before, any US citizen should be eligible for a bunch of federal and state financial aid and loans that can help you offset the income. There are also many on-campus jobs (not necessarily just for youngins) that can provide a somewhat livable wage along with benefits and discounted tuition -- nowhere near tech salaries, of course. Might that be worth considering?

Afterward, I know many colleges also teach guitar, but I don't know if those teachers are actually considered faculty (i.e. full-time with benefits) or just one of their exploited "lecturers" =(

Separately, a friend of mine is a "self-made" guitar teacher who mostly just played gigs at restaurants and cafes for a few years, slowly built up a student base, and now does it full-time, both in-person and online (via Zoom). His students love him... it was a hard road to get there (6-7 years of really really hard work) but he eventually made it work!
The spill way being opened won't release all of the water from a dam. Spill ways are just a type of pressure relief valve to keep the water from destroying the damn. So while it might add more water down stream, it will do nothing for restoring the flooded area upstream of the dam.
Let's say you have $1,000,000, and you by a share of Bershire or whatever that increases to $3,000,000.

A capital gains tax taxes the $2,000,000 unrealized -- but eventually effective -- gain.

A wealth tax taxes the $3,000,000 estimated net worth.

There is a real distinction. A real reason to incentivize productive capital, and that is you get to keep what you've earned. The point I'm trying to make is only that people should pay taxes, and an unrealized capital gain from literally 40 years ago isn't some unknowable investment outcome... it's a capital gain.
When you say you work as an engineer, are you a professor of engineering or doing engineering stuff for the university as a staff employee?

If you are staff how does that differ from any other non-big-tech company? Is there something (besides location in a LCOL area) that makes it more appealing than working as an engineer for any other small firm?

If you are on the academic side was that job particularly easy to get? I don't have any friends who are academic engineers, but my friends who got Ph.D's in humanities and hard sciences found building an academic career very difficult, is academic engineering an easier career to make and keep?
There are plenty of other countries that have similar or even better (depending on the viewpoint of the observer) systems of governance, this sort of American exceptionalism isn't rooted in an objective evaluation but simply a nice soundbite and a riff on the 'democracy' one, which has a lot more substance to it.
