If CICO isn't practical, what is? If you're someone whose base metabolic rate plummets so much when dieting that you have to basically starve just to lose weight, you're probably screwed no matter what. Why single out CICO as not being practical for these people?
I think you're arguing against a strawman. Nobody says layoffs are stupid because they're not a very "nice" thing to do. They say so because the statement "it's a company trying to maximize value" is contentious.

The long term objective of a company is not to save as much money as possible. It's to spend money toward endeavors that generate more money.

If the layoff is because of an efficiency improvement, that's justified - like a factory replacing labor with newer cheaper robots. However, that's not what the tech layoffs were about. Tech companies are basically saying we want to do less work. It's not an efficiency improvement, it's a downsizing of their business activities, and it's not clear-cut whether that's a good business strategy for companies that are wildly profitable and growing.

I would guess that for the most part safety is more of a function of attention and driving safely and predictably rather than relying on the superior handling to get out of scrapes.

Many times people that prize handling of the car end up pushing the limits and driving dangerously aggressively accelerating and braking, following closely, aggressively lane swerving.
One government does, another doesn't. The one that doesn't ultimately wins because their people thrive, using a better money.
I'm glad to see someone else on the Web who's concerned about this. Remote attestation is a triumph of 21st-century cryptography with all kinds of security benefits, but never before in my lifetime have I seen a technology be misappropriated so quickly for dubious purposes.

My country (the UK) is one of the worst right now, with the current government on a crusade to make the internet 'safer' by adding checkpoints[1] at various stage to tie your internet usage to your real-world identity. Unlike some other technically advanced countries, though, the UK doesn't have the constitutional robustness to ensure civil liberties under such a regime, nor does the population have what I like to think of as the 'continental temperament' to complain about it.

I'd like to make a shout-out to a project in which I participate: the Verifiable Credentials Working Group[2] at the World Wide Web Consortium is the steward of a standard for 'Self-Sovereign Identity' (SSI). This won't be able to fix all the issues with authenticity online, but it will at least provide a way of vouching for others without disclosing personal information. It's a bit like the GPG/PGP 'Web of Trust' idea, but with more sophisticated cryptography such as Zero-Knowledge Proofs.

I've honestly never needed it when dealing an error, the fact that errors are handled near where they occur means a stack is rarely needed.

If you bubble up errors a lot then errors.Is/As is made for that purpose.

You really only care about a stack trace with a panic.

In anycase, runtime.Stack() iirc should return the stack.

But this sounds more like trying to write other languages in Go rather than writing in Go.

It's good if this way of thinking dies. It does a disservice to those taking the course, and it does a disservice to the industry.
Yeah, my employer does that. We call it "infrastructure". /s
I'm curious, you used the outlook desktop client for personal email? I feel like that use case is very unusual. My biggest issue is that we use O365 so are kinda forced into using outlook to get all the benefits, of the tight integration, but outlook is becoming less and less usable, I just don't see how thunderbird is a better alternative for O365...
Sadly, we have so many cars available, but rarely can you find the exact combination you want, so you have to choose something to give way.

Most buyers only really compare efficiency after narrowing down other things they deem "irreplaceable".

USED buyers, of course, are much more flexible because the main thing they care about is price. But nobody builds used vehicles, only new ones.
This is already the case for very old target devices, that don't support the ssh v2 protocol at all; hence the existence of the ssh1 client (https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/openssh-client-ssh1).

> Why give them props?

Because they were trying to be forward-thinking and do the right thing, environmentally speaking.

> they are meant to be running a business!

By this logic we should still be using coal for all power or maybe crude oil. And kids should still be working in factories. Not everything is just about running a business. You can be a successful business and still make good choices for the world.
> Why did the people who are meant to be our leaders not do anything?

I had the same thought. A while ago I heard about a so-called "scandal" in passing, and didn't think of it much. I recently listened to the BBC podcast series, and I felt both sand and outraged. I had me thinking, "does it take a TV drama for something like this to be recognized?". Now every politician is behind it (finally). Where were all these guardians before? If I find myself in a similar situation, should a no-body like me expect a documentary to be made?
Since you don't list any statistics, I'll point out that a lot of countries are exceeding 40% renewables, with at least one country at 90%.

The issue is situations like the UK granting leases for gas they won't use, but simply export.

There may be an equilibrium needed to keep balance while renewables keep moving towards dominance, but a lot of the gas projects right now are initiated for short-term takings more than stability and current demand.

Solar doesn't work for my property. There are too many trees doing exactly what they were intended to do by shading the roof top. Otherwise, it would be great as the roof alignment is pretty ideal.
Nope. Not unless they successfully stop people using Tor.
If you need this support, perhaps you should pay someone on the OpenSSH team (or an independent 3rd party) to support it. It's not free to keep code around, unfortunately; every bit adds a maintenance burden. It's an open source project, and no one is entitled to anything in particular.
Solar is super cheap, making it a very effective complement to the matrix even though it's not enough by itself, for reasons you mentioned.

Every kWh from solar is one kWh less from fossil fuels. It seems inevitable that electricity becomes free when there's sun, because of solar.

> ...past releases and alternate SSH implementations...

Absolutely not faulting the devs in any way for wanting to rid themselves of having to maintain the DSA bits, but this idea of "just" using past releases seems theoretical. I'd be surprised if I managed to compile an OpenSSH release from even just a couple of years ago. There'd be some glibc incompatibility or something equally gnarly.
I remember when Notch was playing with this space game with a slimed down assembly language he created. He stopped working on it unfortunately, but I still think there's a whole potential genre of hacking on a game. Not a "press F" to hack, but a legit log into this system, get/change whatever. Having a legit in-game OS seems like a good step forward.

> if bread becomes relatively more expensive than pasta, people buy less bread and more pasta. The CPI basket does not reflect that

That makes sense. But say bread at $1(2023) is objectively worse than pasta at $1(2023); is there any way to account for that? It seems like a generic form of shrinkflation: without holding the basket constant, how do we know we are getting the same value?

To be fair, it could work the other way and the pasta at $1(2023) is better than the bread at $1(2023).
many strategy games just give you a magic generic pool of resources you can draw from, which isn't the case irl where you have to store, distribute, load shift, etc. to match supply
>But still in the long run BS will be ruled out.

You espouse this like a rule but it just isn't so. Nazi Germany believed themselves to be the righteous rulers of the earth, descended from Ubermen that never existed, commanding more powerful armies than anything, and were allowed to live that delusion right up until the democratic world forced them to reckon with reality. You can avoid that reckoning for arbitrary lengths of time.

It's no different to "the market will remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent". It's the same rule. Reality can be avoided for as long as you want if you don't have infinite ambition.
>many of their software products are bloated and slow as fuck

This is the “everybody knows” narrative that seems to get trotted out whenever modern Boeing has problems.

I’m curious - how much of it is true? Is it really systemic, or has it manifested only with one specific model plane?

It seems to fit very well with the “financialization is bad” narrative, too, but is there any other data to support the claims?

It’s possible that engineer-driven Boeing could have fucked up the Max, too.

I am skeptical of simple, tidy explanations regarding actions and arcs of any organizations as large as Boeing.

Ridiculous calling someone racist over stating the reality that India has huge seo writing industry.
I've already conceded that a small tribe could do it. It's not entirely clear that they have 'wealth' at all, since i'd define it to be that thing which accumulates 'alike pref-A' (ie., I will concede that processes which disrupt/regulate social networks produce, at best, power-laws in a theoretical limit).

But the issue is that small tribes arent stable. The primary objective of tribes is foremost survival, and in the pursuit of every more gauretees of survival, they will pref attach to other stronger tribes (often by concequest, occasionally by consent, see eg., the formation of the UK vs. the formation of the british empire).

So there are different 'social logics' taking place at each level: the individual wants to minimize the amount of their life wasted; the group wants to maximise its chances of survival etc.

It's not that I do not see 'local violations' of pref-A-type expectations; they're quite common indeed.

It's more that I see the 'effect size' from pref-A processes to be, empirically, overwhelming. A force of nature at every scale.

People who are "anti-capitalist", ie., the person i was addressing, arent offering an analysis of the entire history of the human species in terms of these processes --- and how alternatives can be provided; rather they are profoundly ignorant of all this, have no interest in learning it, and are rather engaged in a religious crusade against their notion of sin.

The first step to help this ideologue out of their crusade, is if even possible, to show that it isnt Sin which makes the world Fallen -- it Falls even under extremely simple, extremely fair procedures. This is intolerable to the fantatic whose crusade is against a human psychic reality they thing they can attack -- tilting at windmills, of course.

If we're talking "two good-faith people who arent fantatics trying to model possible realitites" then the dialetic is different.

I'd say: i have sets of entirely plausible propositions each of which entail 'inevitable extreme inequality', each of which plausibly model reality, each of which have high credences from a range of experts (etc.).

I do not see the same on the other side; this may be my ignorance, but I have never encountered a systematic presentation of any explanatorily-plausible alternative.

Renewables supplied 7% of global energy demand in 2022. If that doubles every five years - which is very fast! - they won't meet full demand until 2040.

Wow this is very helpful. I'd heard that as well. Thanks for commenting this
Wasn't this the plan all along?

Even after making an Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore personally advocated for natural gas as a transitional source of energy. Places like Germany built their entire grid off of it.

Even though Solar and Wind are exploding at unprecedented levels and they were never, ever going to be able handle all of the global energy needs within the half-century. But we're shutting down coal and no one wants nuclear so gas it is.

I have never been a cynic until recently.

"Maybe a recession is forthcoming?" Better 'can a bunch of people just in case it happens to be so.

"Maybe LLMs will reduce programming needs?" Better 'can a bunch of people just in case it happens to be so.

I can adapt to an increased level of cynicism, even to the point it informs my concrete career decisions.

But this level of bad faith itself must do some damage to the economy, mustn't it? There must be some concrete value that would be generated by increasing good faith between employers and employees, musn't there be?
Not the OP, but does it matter if I specifically know how the numbers are generated? I'll absolutely appeal to authority and accept that the United States, various United Nations agencies, MSF, etc accept these numbers as reasonably accurate and acknowledge that they're in a far better position to understand the provenance of the data than I'll ever be.

Math is not a singular set of rules, it depends on who you ask, and what the context is. We have a pretty decent shared understanding, but it's not perfectly uniform.

The merit order effect of renewables like solar and wind has already been substantial on wholesale prices with the spot price being $0 or below $0 in significant percentages of the year. This probably hasn't trickled down to retail rates as we're stuck paying for the fixed costs of many of those assets via the PPAs that the utilities sign.
I don't remember the specifics, but I do remember that Vista broke a ton of drivers I used for industrial equipment. Serial controllers, that kind of stuff.

If I remember right it had something to do with the transition to driver signing beginning around that era.

When creating an IMAP account, c't was able to sniff the traffic between new Outlook and the Microsoft servers. It contained the target server, log-in name and password which were sent to those Servers of Microsoft. Although TLS-protected, the data is sent to Microsoft in plain text within the tunnel. Without informing or inquiring about this, Microsoft grants itself access to the IMAP and SMTP login data of users of the new Outlook.
