Counting lines of code as a production metric is very stupid.
I remember solving an unsolvable 20 years old bug with a line of code, another 3 years old with a order by. How to measure the impact of a line of code? And in my experience, bad programmers write a lot more code...

I will never forget the story[1] of a Microsoft developer rewriting a piece of IBM code that had 33 thousand characters, after rewrite ... 220. This generated a war because MS's work was... negative.

Re-entering the US for US citizens, Global Entry. And, yes, getting off a plane first is usually an advantage for clearing immigration though not guaranteed to breeze through.

In general (leaving aside flying private) paying more money doesn't necessarily buy you a lot of time savings (especially if you're not the sort who tries to cut things close) but it can eliminate a lot of hassle/buy you a lot more comfort which is probably more important to me most of the time.

Priority bags/check-in does help but I try not to check luggage so really doesn't save me a lot of time at the end of the day.

I like it starting with the desired output columns, often when I work with a db quite a bit and have common naming conventions that’s all I need to know.

Even writing queries I think in terms of outputs then build the query from there.

I am blanking about the advantages of starting with from, people clearly share your view, but I have no idea why.

Maybe it comes from my C++ background where return type comes first, then function name, then inputs.
Ok but couldn’t you have done that prior to calling exit?

Barkley has a time cutoff so I think the point is valid.
Well, it starts with "assuming we had something we don't have (i.e. the capability to accelerate at 1G for 100 years)"...

I meant it's theoretically impossible with the theory that we have now. Of course if we make breakthroughs in the theory, then the theory will change and it may become possible.

But SpaceX going to Mars is not exactly revisiting this theory. They are just having fun with the current state of the theory, which says that they won't bring humans further, period.

What is great about these overreaches is how it keeps eroding the blind trust that many "rule of law" societies have towards their institutions and rules.

Extreme parties advocating extreme measures are on the rise, marginal groups having oversized exposure and influence in those societies, informalization of social relationships.

At some point Europeans need to feel comfortable living like many do in Asia, Africa an South America: at the edge of the law and "decency".
> I think it would be that SQL is more powerful than ad-hoc jq incantations.

I don't disagree, but only because I have a lot of experience with SQL so I "think" more in those terms. The blog post made perfect sense to me, and I have to go to claude/openai/copilot for whatever I need in `jq`, EVERY TIME. Because I don't use it nearly as often, so I don't have its language internalized.

Readability (and I'd posit to the point of this, power) is more a function of the reader than the code, pg's "blub paradox" notwithstanding.

I didn't know anything about duckdb, but I might give this a shot.

I know too little, that much is clear to me after I have started to look into this.

The situation may be somewhat unusual here in Norway, since basically all electricity is generated by hydro dams (~90%). We have made large strides the last two decades regarding energy savings (LED lighting, heat pumps and better insulation), and this has largely made it possible for us to transition rapidly from fossil cars to EVs while keeping our use of electricity quite stable.

What we are seeing now is a rapid expansion of mega datacenters that lays claim to extreme amount of electricity, more than these regions can steadily supply. This means that we need even more electricity on top of the hydro we have. This again means rapid expansion of solar parks and the destruction of vulnerable nature. Just the one Google datacenter now being built in my region will lay claim to ~5% of Norways energy use!

This worries me, and makes me doubt the "green" label on these projects.

You are absolutely correct that the BLS publishes CPI, but this still happened in the Greenspan era (and that's what I meant by "under Greenspan"). I remember reading (IIRC, in Bill Fleckenstein's book), that the Boskin commission was not free of interference and/or had an intent going in.

Either way, especially in recent years, it's pretty clear that CPI has been a flawed metric. I remember this episode fondly: https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704893604576199...
So to answers the OP's question: the reason she's the first woman to finish isn't necessarily because of bias or sexism, but could rather be simply because of the very challenging time limit, and the fact that the women's world record ultra times are around 10-15% slower than the men's on all distances from 50k up to 6 days (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultramarathon)

It already has with the BSE crisis, and I'm not sure if we 100% understand how close to a much greater crises we came. I remember there was period in the UK back in the nineties where there was the grim prospect of hundreds of thousands of cases - thankfully it never came close to that. And there are European countries where I still can't donate blood, because I lived in the UK during the outbreak.

> I mean almost everyone here also believes in digital intelligence at some point.

I don't think I do. Or maybe I misunderstand what "digital intelligence" means.
Yep, good reminder! Of course, as you point out, it doesn't change the argument because probing (or simply direct observation, if they must hide) would still be trivial, both at larger distances when we weren't quite neighbors and on the shorter timescale when we were. Trivial next to mustering an interstellar invasion fleet on the turn of a dime, at any rate. Besides, if they were itching for a fight then the original "decent fraction of billions of years" timeline still applies to the question of "why didn't they grow and colonize?"
> The setup was to treat the government as an adversary. Needing to understand positive rights vs negative rights

+1 on citing the constitution's wisdom of treating the government itself as adversarial, due to the enormous power it has.

The rich have finally won. What happens on main street no longer affects wall street.
A lot of the good feelings in the boom times post WW2 were based on the idea that there was social mobility and opportunity. Pretty much the experience in America post Financial crisis in every industry except technology is that social mobility is dead, the middle class in this industry will be squeezed out of existence, and profit margins will grow by finding cheaper labor in another country.

A lot of Americans are in the labor class and don't own financial assets, what do they have to be cheery about?

A trend people are missing out on - in 2020, we crossed an important milestone: more than half of the baby boom generation is now retired.

So we are seeing huge gobs of investments/pensions being pulled out of stock markets and being put into bonds or cash.

The expectation is to see a decrease in the amount of money in the stock market but better returns in the money that remains.

The Kurzgesagt videos on these sorts of topics are interesting and entertaining, but they're often very speculative — they can rely heavily on unique but unproven theories, unprovable philosophical questions, or even just interesting sci-fi premises.

They're definitely informative and interesting within a given scope of discussion — it's good to ask interesting questions and explore what different answers might look like, because it helps us to push the boundaries of our mental models of the universe. But some of the videos — particularly the ones on Boltzmann brains or solutions to the Fermi paradox — are a lot closer to "here's an interesting thought experiment" than "here's something that's likely to be the case in our universe".

(Although they're usually very explicit when they do dive into this sort of speculative territory, and they also do a lot of videos which aren't in this vein at all — this is no slight on Kurzgesagt and the people who enjoy watching them!)

A lot of money was printed / added to the system. It’s still working its way though. The stock market valuation is also subject to inflation. It might be “doing good” but in real terms compared to the money supply it might be just catching up. Real estate however is dropping very much in real terms. Wages going up you have to compare to inflation and the money supply. Just because a dollar is worth less than it was 5 years ago, can take your wage “gain” away pretty fast.
The author appears to be overlooking the usefulness of comparisons to relevant averages or historical highs and lows - clearly such comparisons can be useful when plotting meteorological data, for example. Furthermore, it does not follow that, in those cases, all data should be in the form of differences or ratios with respect to the relevant datum.

From these considerations, the author's principle could be generalized to 'lines should be meaningful.'
For command line tools that use curses or mess with the terminal in other ways, you can leave things in a pretty ugly state if you don't clean up properly.
As someone who learned mathematics first and programming later, I think it took me about 10 years of working in data-intensive programming before I could write really "good" SQL from scratch.

I completely attribute this to SQL being difficult or "backwards" to parse. I mean backwards in the way that in SQL you start with what you want first (the SELECT) rather than what you have and widdling it down. Also in SQL (as the author states) you often need to read and understand the structure of the database before you can be 100% sure what the query is doing. SQL is very difficult to parse into a consistent symbolic language.

The turning point for me was to just accept SQL for what it is. It feels overly flexible in some areas (and then comparatively ridgid in other areas), but instead of fighting against this or trying to understand it as a consistent, precise language , I instead just go "oh SQL - you are not like the other programming languages I use but you can do some pretty neat stuff so we can be on good terms".

Writing good SQL involves understanding the database, understanding exactly the end result you want, and only then constructing the subqueries or building blocks you need to get to your result. (then followed by some trial and error of course)
That's right even if the sample size N=30,000, it is still a one-time point event controlled/approved by the proper legal authority.
There will be an audit trail of said approval and the process will be documented.

In contrast mass surveillance is just "oh, we have a BIG database, and we query whenever for whatever purpose, and nobody knows who searched for what and when and why, and nobody EXTERNAL TO THE AGENCY needs to approve it (lack of control). And today, Bob, who works for the police, background-searched his new girlfriend as well."
I’m not an economist, so I cannot defend either of these points particularly well.

* Inflation has been rising for so long that wages would have to eventually follow.

* Unemployment figures can be gamed in various ways, especially in an election year, however the real question is "Are quality jobs being created or do we have a glut of open burger flipping positions"

Right, all humans live in the United States.
That’s fair.

But a few things to note:

- embedded CO2 in renewable gen is very low compared to fossil fuels

- lithium is abundant and cobalt/nickel are not needed in most battery applications (and lithium may be replaced in the future, too)

- waste from solar is trivial compared to things like municipal waste, coal ash. I think wind is similar, but I’m less sure - either way, recycling is improving

- (in the US, at least) we have plenty of land for renewables, especially compared to things like corn crops used for transportation ethanol (a silly thing in my opinion) and pasture used for beef cattle (something there will likely be a lot less of in the future)

Anything you find while looking into the numbers that disagrees with the above points is possibly outdated or just wrong.
I would argue a flat tax is the way to maintain prosperity to the middle class. Aggressively taxing everyone and redistributing only goes to benefit the lower middle class. Which then becomes the new poor and drags mid to upper middle class down.
I really "got" SQL about 15 years after I started using it. The explanation is very simple: until that moment, SQL was a minor component for me in a big pie. Then one day I got into the position to troubleshoot some apps with >1 TB database behind them and I figured that SQL is more than simple CRUD operations. For most full stack developers that I know, SQL is still that minor component in the back of their mind and they are usually right.
This feels like a tradeoff we make where a convenience while writing once harms long term readability?

But that is a valid usecase!
Assembly theory might eventually provide some useful tools in this area

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_theory
True enough, tooling is key. I'm not a developer but I think SQL is a decent language that's easy to pick up. But I also like xpath, regex, and jq syntax too, so maybe I'm the weird one.
I don't mean to be nitpicky, but you specified the difference between a theoretical impossibility and an engineering impossibility in your parent comment. I assume the reply is just referring to the fact that technically getting to a star system within the 10s of light-years away is an engineering feat, not a break-the-known-rules-of-the-universe feat. I don't take it that they're actually claiming it's a realistic feat that may be accomplished soon.
Very hard to compare because it's usual - indeed basically mandatory - to climb Everest as a group whereas it's forbidden to attempt these ultra races in that way, the competitors aren't even allowed to help each other during a loop.

Also they're not kidding about Everest's death zone - it's genuinely incompatible with human life up on that mountain, whereas while its no stroll in the park where this race is held, it's not going to just kill you if you stay there a bit longer - the strict timer is because many more people could complete the loops at a slower pace. Not me, but probably most serious entrants.
The financial environment now is very different than even 2-3 years ago. Mortgages went from 3%->7%. Bonds/Treasuries actually pay a decent return. The most speculative investments are no longer running hot because they have to compete with returns elsewhere.

So 1. people around here tend to be in the speculative investment bubble and it is worse there than most other places right now and 2. any time there is change like this (esp. when it happens fast) - there are winners and losers and 3. Since 2007/2008 everyone has been trying to be the next Burry or Taleb and call the bubble.
you realize this is a non comment that just says “this is complicated” right?

Sure it’s complicated but if SpaceX could start falcon design in 2002 and send one to suborbital flight by 2007, I don’t see why Boom cannot.

Maybe their execution is not on par with SpaceX, maybe it’s mismanaged but that’s a different thing entirely compared to your view of “It’s so complex, so many different factors etc etc”.

You realize you could have made the exact same argument about spaceX and Boeing/ ULA. ULA had stupidly long timelines to bring a rocket to production, no plans ever to make it reusable and now they’ve been disrupted, perhaps permanently. All they have is a few government contracts keeping them alive.

If Boom succeeds it will be similar, people will laugh Boeing and their bloated timelines off the room, Boeing will only be alive due to some govt contracts and Boom will thrive.

I flew into Kansai in 2003(?), with a J-rail foreigner pass and fell asleep on the Shinkansen (which I wasn't supposed to be on). 9 hours & ~1100 miles of train rides later I ended up at my buddy's place in Tokushima. It cost 110 yen, locally.
