'Immutable' distributions suffer from bad branding, the only thing that's immutable is /usr, so it's far less terrible than the name makes it seem. Loading and blacklisting modules, modifying grub configuration, changing sysctl settings,... all of those things work fine. But people see 'immutable' and think 'oh, I can't change my fan speed', 'oh, I can't disable the annoying PC speaker beep', and so on. I don't know how the branding could be improved, but I do think that better branding would help getting people invested.

I guess if you are inside the crypto ecosystem, it's easier to pay nodes via tokens.
The fact that some things turned out to be possible, is not an argument for why any arbitrary thing is possible.
I often hear the argument "the destroyed jobs will be replaced easily, as has been the case in all technological revolutions", but I think it's deeply flawed:

Up to know, all technological revolutions have occurred in an exponentially growing economy. That's why Schumpeter's "creative destruction" was not a problem: it was compensated by the opening of new areas for growth, mostly unlocked by consuming more resources.

But now we are hitting the limits of the planet, and amongst others the limit of extraction rhythm for most our materials. So the exponential growth can't continue. (apart from the growth from technological progress, which will be much lower)

That's where the argument doesn't hold: we do not have a growing supply of work anymore, so the increased productivity of some workers will just prevent the others from working.
To be fair, I've seen this happen with every language community.
A lot of things stop working at -45C. Many gas, diesel cars won't start at that temp. Even block heaters fail to keep up at these temps. When I lived in Canada, it was pretty normal for heavy industry workers who were on call to just leave their vehicles idling constantly when it was extremely cold because there was no guarantee it would start again if you shut it off.

Even arctic grade diesel will gel at -45C.

That highly depends on your system configuration.

That being said, my personal experience is that compiling large C projects on my machine with a fast SSD usually uses all cores on almost 100%, which would make it CPU-bound.
It's a good thing we have so many excellent technologies for producing abundant energy from nuclear fuels.

Would step-wise instruction help with the look ahead issue. Something like:

2. Take the remaining 12 words from the previous answer and find 4 words that have something in common, and list the remaining 8 words.
etc. etc.

I think there is one fundamental problem with those: duplication. Instead of one system, you need two.

Hybrids by the way are not new at all. They have been used in shipping for ages in situations where the electric load was about the same or higher as the mechanical load, which happens in cruise ships for example. It worked in ships because of the high electric load and because weight doesn’t matter too much. This all doesn’t hold for cars. If it would have worked great, we would all be driving Priuses by now.

Hydrogen sucks to work with, from everything I've heard. In addition to the combustion risk when oxygen is introduced, there's the fact that hydrogen molecules are tiny and like to slip through otherwise solid materials, which is annoying if you're trying to fuel a rocket, but it's eventually catastrophic for containment vessels, due to hydrogen embrittlement[1]. As tempting as it is for its benefits, I don't see it being worth the long-term risks and engineering trades.

Supreme Court denied appeals on Epic vs. Apple
Logically you're right alcohol ought to be treated the same but culturally it's very different in that it's been a part of partaking of food—eating and drinking since before the beginning of recorded time.

Alcohol is intrinsically ingrained in many if not most cultures.
Yes, although it's a market-dependent option. Where I live (Netherlands, not a place where it gets particularly cold), BMW i-series and Audi e-tron definitely offer cabin-and-battery-compartment-covering heat pumps, although I've personally seen it on Volkswagen vans in Greenland (but can't find a reference to that, sorry)

The problem is that it's impossible for anyone to reliably recognise when they're working beyond their competence, particularly in a field as complex and uncertain as medicine. A lot of serious and life-threatening diseases have subtle symptoms and are easily mistaken for more common diagnoses. The decision to refer someone for urgent tests often relies upon half-remembered trivia from medical school or long-honed clinical instincts.

Replacing GPs with NPs will inevitably cause preventable deaths, the question is simply how many deaths we're willing to tolerate. That may be a perfectly reasonable tradeoff in health economics terms, but we have to be frank about it. I am hopeful that AI will go some way to bridging the gap between healthcare supply and demand, but at least in the short term we face a lot of difficult choices about how to allocate resources.

Convince them to buy an EV. In an area with January average lows of -30C, and historic cold snaps that have sometimes reached as low as -60C.
I dunno, I've just never had a problem.

I figure out the right number/setting for the bread I like and it toasts.

What is "even" toasting? Like I genuinely can't tell if my toaster is uneven or whether I should suddenly be unhappy with it. I mean I guess it's not the precise exact shade of tan in every spot, but I've never seen that in my life, even at fancy restaurant breakfasts.

If one part of my toast is a different shade of brown I don't have a problem. I mean, it toasts and it doesn't burn. And I don't think I've won any kind of lottery.

I just feel like I'm missing something here. Cheap modern toasters seem... perfectly fine.

(Mine is a two-slice toaster from Hamilton Beach I bought for $25 which has 11K reviews on Amazon, 4.4 stars [1]. So most of the reviewers seem pretty happy too. It does seem like there are some 1-star reviewers who got duds where the inside and outside toast at different rates, or it doesn't toast half the slice. So maybe there's a quality control issue, but it seems like most people's units, including mine, don't have those problems.)

Most likely and obfuscation technique, they (IPFS people) are afraid to admit that there is no guarantee about file preservation there at all (unless you pay to people hosting your files specifically) and cache eviction may happen to your file at any time, so they try to shout all across the internet how their tech is so reliable and great to drown any dissent. Scary and important looking headlines like "Something In Space" help to instill superficial respect in the tech.
Obviously, it's a simplification, as I'm sure you realized by now. Generally though, I think it can serve as a initial starting point to understanding more.

Edit: I removed the "geographical" from the "pointing to a IP which has a specific geographical location" part. Hopefully it'll make things clear enough while not over-simplifying it.

If Cockroach Labs think it remarkable that someone wouldn't be fired for a single typo, what does that say about working there?
What if we eliminated interest rates (as technically, they constitute the exploitative practice of usury, and therefore theft), and opt for equity participation instead?

(This is how Islamic banking operates, as riba is forbidden. Indeed, usury is also condemned by the Church, and Catholic banks would sustain themselves on, e.g., service fees for the labor involved in, say, issuing a loan or investing on someone's behalf or whatever. And the Jewish Talmud forbids taking interest between Jews, though it does permit charging goyim interest. Regardless, you do not need to appeal to religious law or teaching as these merely reflect the demands of justice and just economic exchange.)
> Filecoin is probably one of the few cryptocurrencies with intrinsic value,

None of these coins have any intrinsic value.

There are thousands of people who sat on bench and thought, "I want to create a ponzi coin" doesn't mean they create value.

Crypto is a net negative phenomenon.
Why are there a multitude of human languages? Well, Tower of Babel. Or at least human isolation, if you like. The point being: for human interaction, a multitude of languages is not the best solution, but for a long time it was the only solution.

The benefits of choosing a common language are obvious and historically tested, as already pointed out in parent comment. I’ll add that today, English is the language of business. Many people have learned English in addition to their native tongues. Not because English is so wonderful, but because it gains benefits in the real world of commerce, education, politics, etc. This is a familiar concept historically. There’s a reason for the phrase Lingua franca, and for Latin being the language of the medieval church.

Now, why are there a multitude of programming languages? I know, the right tool for the right job. I say that all the time too, but that is missing the point. For computer programming, a multitude of languages was really the only solution for a long time. Now we have a prospect of a human taking a concept, telling AI, and having AI provide what is necessary for the computer to do the needed work. We’re in the midst, just like for a time a culture might learn several languages, in addition to their own, in a trade route. But the trends over time seem obvious to me.

It can work for daily use, as long as daily use isn't more than ~60 miles and the car is warm while charging (eg, garaged).

Charging on the street in subzero temperatures isn't likely to work with 120v.
Heat pump to heat the batteries. Mostly in luxury models though, so not in my budget.
For laptops with two DIMM slots you would usually want both populated anyways for dual-channel ram speeds. CAMM does dual channel with one module.

Every community has a hype period, true.

But I don't think I've ever seen any other community (except C++, 20 years ago, perhaps?) being so vocal about wanting to rewrite the whole software ecosystem in their language. "Rewrite it in Rust" is basically a catchphrase now.
Cargo is an ineffective build system if you need anything that isn't just Rust.
The heat pump is in the car (where it is sipping a bit of battery power, 24/7, in order to keep said batteries alive). Not at the grocery store. At least, not for the purpose I'm talking about...
Unless the heat pump is in the car and can't run because the battery is frozen or died...

I mean, real scenario here: It's the Yukon, it's -30C outside in January. You run in for groceries and the battery is low. You get haggled a bit. You come back outside, your battery is dead because it's cold. You can't run your heat pump either, because the battery is dead. You can't use, say, a fire or a blowtorch either. Time for hundreds of feet of extension cords.
> In Dutch, the letter is either only found in loanwords, or is practically equivalent to the digraph IJ.

I speak dutch and I don't understand why in Unicode a special character for IJ exists.

I and J are separate letters on Dutch keyboards and typewriters.

If you write them by hand, it's exactly the same as when you write an i followed by a j.

I could understand that a ligature in some fonts could exist, but not why a Unicode character does.

Also, there are many such Dutch sounds made by two letters (ei, eu, ou, oe, etc...) and those don't get their own Unicode character either (and that's good). There's nothing special about ij I see that makes that one warrant different treatment.
In our internal Q&A system I make it a point to describe what the resolution was, even when the mistake is something obvious or embarrassing that I did. I like to think my legacy will be leaving several dozen self-answered questions on common problems that other developers didn't feel the need to type up.
Maybe the age of Miss America correlating with number of murders by steam, hot vapors, or hot objects would be a more and less interesting example.

This seems like a "see three, pick two" problem. Compulsory education in the standard language will eventually solve most of these concerns. Ready understandability by elders seems quite hard to achieve, and might only possible if the new standard is quite similar to an already widespread register. And that's not even addressing the issue that daily life of some ethnic subgroups might happen in a completely different language, who might also be actively resistant of assimilating into the national culture.
This looks really cool.

> So what’s going on here—why is the perception of “corporate farming” so widespread when actually almost all of the country’s food is being grown or raised by family-owned operations?

> It might have something to do with the fact that corporate agribusiness is indeed very real—it’s just that it has carved out the most profitable parts of food production for itself, while leaving the dirty, uncertain work of farming for others.

> The reality is that farming itself is generally a terrible business. There’s much more—and much easier—money to be made by selling farmers the raw materials of their trade—like seeds, fertilizer, or livestock feed. And there’s also plenty of money in buying farmers’ output cheap (say, corn or hogs) and selling it dear (as, say, pork chops or high-fructose corn syrup). In his excellent 2004 book Against the Grain: How Agriculture Has Hijacked Civilization, Richard Manning pungently describes the situation:

>> A farm scholar once asked an agribusiness executive when his corporation would simply take over the farms. The exec said that it would be dumb for the corporation to do so, in that it is not free to exploit its employees to the degree that farmers are willing to exploit themselves.
I didn’t have a bad experience per se. I just had a strong sense that I’ll never be considered a true & proper (insert country here)-man. Those cultures are so old and have an ethnic component - nobody will ever think that I’m French / English / a Swede etc. I often got the vibe of “you’re lucky to be here, now when are you going back?”

That’s not their fault by the way - they don’t owe me a good immigration experience or even the chance to immigrate.

But in the US & Canada it’s completely different. I’m just another guy here. People who were born here consider this to be my home, not the country I’m from. I’ve met exactly two Canadians who were even mildly xenophobic (one on here!).
Clearly they preferred to chuck unhealthy unsaturated animal fats to the enemies and keep the healthy Extra Virgin Olive Oil to eat.

In Estonia it's both Igrek and Üpsilon. That said, the letter is not in Estonian alphabet and is considered a "foreign letter".

But until you're an experienced Rust programmer, you may frequently hit walls, spending a considerable amount of time trying to implement something that would be trivial in other languages, but requires a lot of contorsion to compile in Rust.

And once it compiles, the way you achieved it may be suboptimal, complicated, buggy, and even unsafe due to logic bugs.

My fairly large projects written in Rust have slowly become unmaintainable. There 's too much code that's just there to work around the borrow checker, and hurt readability. There are memory leaks and dead locks that I've never been able to pinpoint. There are dependencies that I stopped updating a long time ago due to constant breaking API changes. There are "unsafe" and "transmute" keywords because I couldn't figure out how to go through many layers of abstraction just to copy a type that resolves to an integer into another type that resolves to the same integer.

I've been writing Rust code for 10+ years and I still appreciate it for some projects, but I also really enjoy going back to C for the control, flexibility and expressiveness it offers, not to mention better performance. After Rust, it feels like fresh air.
I actually keep a blog for this specific reason: so I can log the bugs I fixed and find how I fixed them when they show up again.

I let Google crawl and index my fix history for me.
Yeah, most people are using their phone as their main computing device and have an "unlimited" <cough, bullshit> data plan and just use that.

If they have wifi at home they're using Comcrap (and the like) equipment that was set up for them. They have zero clue how all that works. And honestly, why should they? Most people really don't need to know. They just need it to work if they're paying for it.
I've been learning Greek and feel like it has too many "i"s.
Yes indeed: _leaded_ gasoline. Thanks for the correction.
IANAL, but there are some things where you should really get expert advice. Child custody is one of them.

I think with legal docs generally, you have to decide what the stakes are and act accordingly. In general, keep in mind that most lawyers won't take a case unless there's someone with deep pockets to sue. So for that $20k loan you give to a friend, a boilerplate template is fine; if they don't want to pay you back, a lawsuit is gonna cost you more than the loan anyway. You've got a new startup for website monitoring with 20 customers? Worry about growing your userbase, not the remote chance that you get sued and something in the boilerplate docs you used wasn't worded properly (of course, once you raise significant money or have significant revenue, those legal docs become much more important, and also this doesn't apply if you are working on something with significant risk, such as a medical device).

But child custody isn't one of those things. It is high stakes, the chances that your counterparty will sue you are very high, and a bad outcome might be one of the worst things that can happen to you. Personally, the possibility of losing custody of my children would be much more worrying to me than any financial lawsuit.

To think we punish our fellow man for pursuing all life has to offer, especially over a career spanning decades is a travesty. If I'm hiring, I don't favor someone who's never once broke away from the matrix of 9-5 employment year after year to explore something new or meaningful or to rest.

This hyper-optimization people have to go through now to beat the resume screening algorithms is dehumanizing as it leaves no opportunity for people to explain their individual life choices. I understand why it is the way it is, but I don't like it and it's not getting any better.
