What about a minivan? All of my siblings with kids use them, and I genuinely think you can fit more cargo in them. My parents take the seats out, and use it to transport stuff from the hardware store, it can a bunch of kids, etc.

I recently rented a car for a camping trip, and they only had minivans - we had a ton of room to fit everything. Only real disadvantage is they look less "classy" than SUVs to some.
I think in both this story and Le Guin's original the ambiguity is the point.

The scenario is one that has no "solution", and pattern-seeking readers then imprint the story with their own worldview (a prime example is the "accelerationist" reply to your comment).
> I don't believe in the argument that you can't have a market with both ways, one where you can't opt in and other where you can.

the problem is that “the market” doesn’t care what you believe in or what you “opt out” of.

there’s very likely a CSA in your area that you can pay to deliver you fresh meats, eggs, fruits, and vegetables. some also provide recipes alongside.

it’s a much simpler solution in lieu of shoehorning tech into an appliance that will likely stop receiving bug fixes or security updates in 3-5 years when the company releases a new version.

like most of the tech industry, this is a “solution” looking for a problem.

Canadians love their monopolies full stop. It's a cultural issue where each sector has its handful of heavyweights, of which you have a choice of 1 or 2 to use locally, and even if there is a third option most Canadians just won't consider it.

Comparatively, the US has thousands of small banks & credit unions, and tons of small and midsize ISPs that provide a 3rd or 4th option in areas like MDUs where they can make a go of it.

Ethiopia has just finished filling the GERD (Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam). They have lots of new power to play with. They're currently at 750MW and it will eventually reach 5.15GW.

Ethiopia has many problems, but I do not think pollution from ICE engines is their biggest one. If it is a big problem, catalytic converters (including used ones) and mufflers would help.

As a paid customer I have to say this has to go. IMMEDIATELY.

I was surprised when it showed-up out of nowhere during the latest update.

The problem is very simple: AI and cloud solutions can be VERY problematic in certain domains.

Read: A deeply undesirable liability.

We had the same problem when Altium decided to take their Altium Designer electronics CAD products and pretty much force everyone into having this cloud-based layer in the tool. No. Thanks. We cannot do that. At all. After decades with Altium, we switched to KiCad. Works fine for the vast majority of designs, even fairly sophisticated work. More importantly, the cloud-based liability is gone. For anything else --which has been very rare-- we have older non-cloud releases of AD we can use.

Don't shove AI or cloud onto your customers. Let them choose. Some can't risk it at all. AI-generated code might sound fantastic to some. While, in other circles, it opens the door to untold liability. I don't want that shit to even show-up without a very explicit installation of a feature, plug-in, extension or whatever. It needs to be conclusively and demonstrably separable.

Also, always remember customers have options. Be careful. We are actually considering moving away from JetBrains tools for this very reason. For now, we'll wait and see. More specifically, we'll wait and see if all semblance of AI is removed from the tools by default and only available as an explicitly installed extension. I have to be able to have tools audited (in a legal context) and show that AI was not a part of the process.

For us, this does not add value. It adds liability.

I'm sorry that last statement is just laughable. Long cargo is AWFUL in an SUV unless you remove the entire rear row of seats at which point, again, you have a van. You have a tall, shitty van.

This is strikingly similar to the downfall of Quora that's on the frontpage right now and I agree with the answers on that discussion thread. The solution, to me, is to establish more moderation. Which is to say, incentivize reviewers from all over the world to read and critique any scientific work instead of publishers hoarding all of the profit by themselves.

Just an anecdote but years ago when Tiger Direct was still a decent place they offered a mail-in rebate for a product and I sent in everything that was asked for. I asked later about why I hadn't gotten the rebate, and they told me that I hadn't sent in everything that was asked for and wouldn't be getting the rebate. I responded that I couldn't send the things in anymore as I had sent in the originals in the first rebate request, and that if they didn't rebate me I'd never shop from them again. They sent me the rebate. I also never shopped from them again anyway.

Probably not the reason they went away, but I do wonder how many customers were lost from bad rebate programs or rebate program mistakes.
It is well-known that people radicalize when they are excluded from political process.

Wikipedia is notorious for excluding ordinary contributors from the process. Anybody can revert your change and that takes precedence over what you did, and there is no obvious appeal process for you, but de facto there is for the well-connected long-time editors. They can always gather some cavalry and run you over.

So they should probably do what Stack Overflow tried to do, and explicitly say that new users / infrequent contributors have to receive more care, that needs to be provided by veterans / frequent contributors, as well as provide mechanisms to do so.

Otherwise it is not a wikipedia that everyone can edit, rather a wikipedia written by a cabal who is also contains a large number of biased people, often getting direct or indirect funding from maintaining that bias.

> With the shift to Arm, languages compiled for a runtime interpreter will get even more important for Microsoft.

How's that? Apple and its app ecosystem just ship universal binaries, so native, heavily optimized x86_64 and aarch64 code is always ready to go with no added fuss for the user.

You could certainly argue this makes already-large binaries even larger, but users care much more about CPU & RAM efficiency than on-disk binary size. Especially on ARM machines that many people buy for battery efficiency in the first place.

On Linux you don't even bother with universal binaries because you just ship the entire package repository already built for the target CPU. It's only more fuss for the user if they need to pick specific packages from outside their distro.

Has Microsoft still not managed to make something similar work on Windows?

One key trait of arseholes is that they usually have zero interest in changing their behaviour, and tend to strongly dislike others trying to change them.

You and I can do better because we care to improve ourselves.

Your answer is unrealistic. Have you ever successfully changed a narcissistic arsehole? I certainly don't know how to. I have heard some arseholes talk the talk about how they will change their destructive behaviours (although more usually just denial and excuses), but I have rarely seen them actually succeed in changing.

Database is the primary bottleneck of almost all web apps. This is different from solving bottlenecks you may find in other places.

Let me put it this way. If you did everything right, then the slowest part of your web application is usually the database. Now you may find problems in the web application and fix bottlenecks there but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the primary bottleneck.

In web basically the database is doing all the work the web application is just letting data pass through. The database is so slow that the speed of the web application becomes largely irrelevant. That's why languages like ruby or python can be used for the application, that's why C++ is rarely needed.

This ultimately makes sense logically. The memory hierarchy in terms of speed goes from CPU cache to random access to fs with fs being the slowest.

Web applications primarily use fs as it's all just about manipulating and reading state from the db. while a triple A game primarily runs on random access. Games do use the fs but usually that's buffering done in the background or load screens.

This is why your reply doesn't refute a single thing I said. It doesn't matter if dbs use nvme. FS is still slower than an in memory store by a huge magnitude. Not to mention the ipc or network connection is another bottleneck. Web apps need to only be trivially made magnitudes faster then then the ipc and database and it's fine.

Your batch calls to the db are only optimizations to the db which is still magnitudes slower then ram. Try switching those batch requests to in memory storage on the same process and keep the storage from bleeding pages to the fs and that will be waaay faster.

After you fix that the bottlenecks of most web apps lie in the http calls and parsing and deserializarion of the data. But usually nobody in web cares for that stuff because like I said the db is way slower.

Do you think a game engine can afford to do this stupid extra parsing and serialization step in between the renderer and the world updater? Hell no. That's why web developers can put all kinds of crap in the http handlers, because it doesn't matter.

Though I will say I have seen a bottleneck where parsing was actually slower than access to redis. But that's rare and redis is in-memory so it's mostly the ipc or network connection here.

That sounds like the best place to start: cars are the most expensive form of transportation, an order of magnitude greater emissions (even EVs), and have massive negative externalities affecting the surrounding communities regardless of power source. If you haven’t made the mistake of building your society around them, it’s much cheaper not to start and then need to deal with the painful disruption of redesigning your transportation network in a decade.
It doesn't seem to me that Biden is calling for culling of white people or whatever. The US has long been regarded as a melting pot of cultures, and Biden just seems quite enthusiastic that there'll be more of that. White people have, as a group, (not every single white person, of course) been overrepresented in some ways. It would be alarming if people talked about a reduction in the black population because they've historically been oppressed and disadvantaged, and they don't make a huge portion of the population.

There is a reason behind my original question, since it's related to reflecting over the mentor role in the current situation.

And I'm trying to find out if if there, with the current situation, are similarities with past annoyances because of my character.

So the following hit right to home, because that's what I'm reflecting about:

> What struck me each time is how the things you observe are universally centered around people not behaving the way youd want someone to behave given your estimation of their talent and/or experience.

I'd appreciate your thoughts about the mentor role on the following situation.

The person I'm mentoring now is a senior with past roles in Amazon, IBM, ...

We are working together for 2 months now, but December is traditionally a low activity month because of holidays and a week off by the company.

I've had a feature that I was originally going to do solo ( my priority was the deadline and now I'm mentally switching to onboarding the senior the right way). This also means that the user stories were less documented.

We have a 7 hour difference in time zone ( he in Canada and I'm from Belgium).

I've almost daily asked if there were any issues/unclarities.

He also started early sometimes, probably to have more overlap and more help from me.

He also worked a Saturday ( for a relatively simple problem that he couldn't fix in 3 days, we did pair programming and I had 2 solutions in 30 minutes).

He couldn't solo implement a feature flag, where the "enabled" route took the new endpoint ( swagger generated) and the old route took the old one. I literally had to take the screen over and did it in 5 minutes.

Personally, this looked like an easy task.

Any advise from the mentor viewpoint? My urge was that this ( and other things) looked like a red flag.

I requested feedback internally and it was mentioned to take character/culture differences into account.

I'm now trying to compare past experiences to reflect on that feedback. But I have a hard time getting over it that someone with 18 years of experience couldn't do that solo.

I was always worried that he would be without work. It's possible that this was viewed as "pushing", while I just tuned in to see if everything was clear and if he had questions.

My current guess is that perhaps because of my handling, he tried to adjust his coding to my way of doing/development and it impaired him ? ( that's the only possible explanation I can find). This guess is related to what was mentioned after feedback internally.

My actual guess is more in the lines of "beginner expert". And my worry is that our team in theory has an additional senior, while that's not the case.

Note: I requested for an additional senior ( full stack) for a while since we can use it. But it seems that the position that was open is not similar to what was fulfilled ( I would say there's even such a big difference that's it's red flag. And i believe it's also my job to signal that).

Any advice / reflections would be greatly appreciated.
