That is an excellent and comprehensive list, but is it targeted at individuals or organizations? Every area lists dozens of projects with a short description but no ranking, comparisons, skill-set required, or editorial recommendations.

Personally I rely on resources like https://alternativeto.net or "best of" lists to pick a couple options to evaluate in more depth. If I analyzed 10 times as many options I might discover really wonderful projects I would have otherwise missed, but I struggle to imagine having that kind of time.

Gas turbine efficiency targets for combined cycle are targeting 65%, so loss is at least 35%. To me I the loss sucks, but if it can be cheap to build and maintain it matters less. If solar is the energy source and that gets driven cheap enough then that loss could be acceptable.
I don't think it's fair to call them dishonest here. It's pretty clear they've heard about memory safe languages, they've thought about it, they've considered in details the pros and cons.

>why not work on isolating it behind it’s own process (there must be ways to do this securely while not giving up too much performance)?

Well, you make it sound like the easy answer. A good exercise would be to try implementing what you're proposing in a comment. Not necessarily going all the way, but enough to know why it might not be as straightforward as you think.

The people working on V8 are not completely clueless, the concept of moving things out of process or using a memory safe language is not going to be a novel idea that they'll just start working on now that someone clever thought of it.
Because of the stickiness of prices, passing through of cost savings usually manifest as slower inflation. Costco is rumored to have negotiated 0.3% from Visa in exchange for exclusivity. This is part of how they are able to sell goods at thin markups. Aldi USA used to only take debit cards. They caved and now take credit cards. Travelers Insurance offers two prices on every quote: by bank account or a higher one by credit card.

In a concert and sports venue concessions environment you're also prioritizing throughput much more than most businesses. Being cashless helps with throughput a lot - the employees don't have to wait for people to count their money, then recount it, and spend time making change.
one reason is physical space and power draw. Not everything is a cost optimization.
(From the "history may not repeat itself but it sure does rhyme" files: Berkeley releasing a new ftpd with fixes for a bunch of buffer overruns (in Fall of 1988, when this was a New Thing) was widely suspected to be a reason the Morris Worm launched when it did, because some of the holes it used might have gotten closed too. I'm not sure if this ever got confirmed but it was part of the earliest responsible disclosure narratives...)
Where I live in NYC, a relatively modest 3BR apt. is currently 2.5-3.5 million. Having invested for 15 years to eventually own a place, the recent combo of interest rates and home price increases feels like the ultimate rug pull. It seems inevitable that this will lead to a decline in birth rates and a host of other second order effects.
A 1000 gallon tank stores about 146 gigajoules of energy (diesel motor fuel = 138,700 BTU/gallon, "138700 BTU * 1000 in gigajoules").

1000 gallons of sand (about 6000 kg) heated 1000 °C above ambient stores about 1000 K * 6000 kg * 1.1 kJ/kg-K (from the paper, on page 9) = 6.6 gigajoules.

So to match a fuel tank for energy storage, it needs to be at least 22x the volume, have extremely good insulation (even more volume), a heat-exchanger, and sand-handling augers. Additionally, the sand needed to be heated in the first place, which means a good electrical connection, but if you have that power in the first place, just use that during the winter? The nice part about fuel is that a man and a truck can move a few thousand gallons of hydrocarbons several hundred miles out to the middle of nowhere and transfer that energy at megawatt speed with a hose.
In four months you’d owe me another 1% just for inflation. But the last time I interviewed I got a callback after less than two months and they found I’d already had a new job for a week and a half.

Sure, but questions about whether the rule is deliberate or not are answering "how", not "why". In fact, it's mostly trying to distract from the "why" to answer "how".

I don't disagree with your point; I do want to point out, though, that whether it's "the merchants have to raise their prices" or "the merchants benefit too and are complicit", the end result is still that it's still the poor who lose.
It seems odd that he acknowledges the existence of Time Machine local snapshots but doesn't mention deleting the local snapshots manually. Using `tmutil listlocalsnapshots` and `tmutil deletelocalsnapshots` will actually free up space. I had this experience recently when my local storage was at 99% and simple `rm` wasn't freeing up any space. Once I deleted the local snapshot, 100s of GB were freed.

As a side node, Time Machine has been pretty garbage lately. I back up to a local Synology NAS and letting it run automatically will just spin with `connecting to backup disk` (or some such message), but running manually works just fine.

For handling secrets we manage helm via Pulumi (previously Terraform) and pass in the secrets to values from Secrets Manager or whatever cloud provider.

I haven't found a good alternative to Helm. Pulumi is probably the best if you wanted to just create manifests their k8s provider is great, but we ultimately want to shift left the kubernetes manifests and helm is pretty ok for that.

Hire cars in the UK often have a long list of already-known dents and scrapes. You have to be super careful and check the car over to spot any others so you don’t end up paying for prior damage. But all those dents have been paid for by previous renters; the hire company charges the renter but doesn’t actually fix the damage…
Maybe, but hopefully you'd have a massive advantage at your own job. There is the perception of public jobs as being a lock in without competition - maybe this is meant to fix that?
Ironically the biggest reason the fed did this was to keep those poorer renters employed.
It could be interesting to burry heating coils in the ground under the house and maybe dig deep, insulated petimeter foundation to better keep the heat inside. Power them with solar of course at times of negative prices.

Or dig out a deep cellar, insulate on the sides and a the bottom against heat loss and moisture and put back the earth you dug out with heating element in the center. You don't even have to insulate wires that go through earth to the heating element because electricity passing through earth will get turned to heat as well.

It might be nice additional heating for cooler climates.

If you dug deep enough to have actual cellar on top of that you'd have a very warm cellar, you could put underground swiming pool there.

I rarely drink wine (less than 1x every few years) and I can tell the difference between a red wine and a white wine, and subcategories of red wines (and I do specifically mean the difference, so that means only when compared to another wine).

The hard part is identifying the type of wine, but many of my wine-drinking friends can do with ease. We've tried the "test," having me or someone else randomly purchase wines from the closest store and then serving random samples to them while they're blindfolded. They're able to identify the specific variety more than 4/5 of the time.

>the used market took a big hit as well pissing off existing owners

Oh no, poor wealthy Tesla owners loosing value on their car. /s Since when are ordinary cars appreciable investments?

It's been well known cars tank in value, especially when you're an early adopter of new tech in a market that's in constant disruption. Your 1999 GeForce 256 also lost most of it's value in a year compared to other later GPUs, it's the nature of tech in a rapidly changing market.

People who expect cars to hold/go up in value need to buy limite edition exotics, not mass produced commodities.

EVs tanking in value on the used market is good for EV adoption as non wealthy people can afford them.
The Fed is very careful to differentiate between income and wealth. You can be wealthy with little income and you can have a lot of income but not be wealthy.

While the study points out that high income, high FICO consumers benefit at the expense of high income low FICO consumers, which strictly controls for income as opposed to wealth, ultimately the study concludes what OP said it does, that reward programs transfer wealth from the poor to the rich, and I quote:

>Credit card rewards transfer income from less to more educated, from poorer to richer, and from high- to low minority areas, thereby widening existing spatial disparities.
High interest on its own isn’t great but in some ways can be easier to grapple for first-time buyers, because while it does make for larger monthly payments it doesn’t raise the bar to entry the same way that high prices do with down payments. Low home prices with high interest can be manageable, as can high home prices with low interest. High prices and high interest is a tough combo.

On top of this, even if prospective buyers are considering less desirable neighborhoods further from place of work, the used car market is still a mess with anything that doesn’t already have a foot in the grave (and thus, is a reliable efficient commuter) carrying an inflated price, which chips away at the savings that can be had there.
I accidentally filled a ZFS root SSD with a massive samba log file (samba log level set way high to debug a problem, and then forgot to reset it), and had to use truncate to get it back.

Regarding Carnegie Mellon at least, the Chinese population has already surpassed the threshold where you would feel like a minority, depending on which department. (personal experience - I am American-born and from California, and went to CMU in the 2010s).

It's closer to the West Coast than you might think - UC Berkeley in 2021 reported 21% Chinese, which is right in line with CMU (~3k out of ~14k). While the city itself has different demographics, you could start to see the influence of Asian students on surrounding neighborhoods like Squirrel Hill.

I rented with Hertz once.

I was extra careful because I heard stories. I took pictures of the car from all sides and notified the Hertz employee about super minor scratches that I found just in case. I drove it very carefully through my stay in Switzerland and returned it to the airport.

Unfortunately it did not occur to me to take pictures of the interior of the car.

They charged me 800 euros for missing rear trunk cover. I am 100% sure that I did not take that piece off, I simply failed to notice it was missing (I was not familiar with the brand of car they gave me, it was different than the one I requested) when took the car. They charged me 800 euros for that piece. The missing piece's price in Switzerland is around 100 euros. I offered to buy it and to organize a transport company to get it to them, to no avail. I felt scammed.

So I will be watching how this develops while relishing the schadenfreude.

> If I want a model to generate a fun pic of me at the beach and instead it makes a nude photo, that's completely different

What if someone else's idea of a fun pic at the beach is a nude photo? Is it only censorship when the worldview being enforced is not aligned with yours? A truly uncensored model should accommodate everyone, but society will (and should) absolutely burn down any AI service that accidentally generates nudes from a beach photo of a family that has minors. "Intent" is a human attribute, AI is probabilistic.

This abundance of caution by the companies avoiding nudity is unfortunately read as promoting a worldview or pushing an agenda, while it's just risk mitigation.

I remember going through 16 interviews to be hired by a top tier Wall Street investment bank. I was an experienced hire, lateraling over at this point

I was only hired after I got an offer from a competitor (following about ~6 interviews there, most of which were over the phone) and forced my top choice's hand

Fast forward 18 months and I was laid off along with hundreds more. As it turns out, my two superiors weren't liked at all, so when the market slowed, their peers took the opportunity to get rid of them... and I became irrelevant as I had nobody to work for.

In hindsight, it's somewhat obvious that it took them this many rounds because they were not certain they needed someone to work for the guys everyone disliked. I got a couple of deals done, had a couple more lined up, generated millions of dollars of revenue to the bank, clients liked me... but it wasn't the right place or the right time.

If I could do it all over again, I would have been more upfront and a tougher negotiator with them from the outset. I either want full commitment or it's not worth it. Tell me upfront how many rounds of interviews you need and I'll tell you if it's worth my time and the brain damage.

Power. You need quite a solid PSU to withstand the power-up of a couple multi-TB drives.

“I figure that it’s better to be a sucker who makes something than a wise guy who is too cautious to make anything at all.”

It very much frustrates me seeing professionals too timid to click through wizards on something as inconsequential as installing Word. "OK, it says click here to continue. Should I click there?" Even when mentoring new team members, I'm amazed at how afraid they might be to try something in a test environment where they know it doesn't matter if something goes wrong. Sometimes I think I've gotten as far as I have in life because I'm just not afraid to try, and I don't even think of myself as a risk taker.

I don't care if you think of yourself as a sucker or as a wise guy. Just make the damn thing (even if you're making mistakes).

There are many answers, but one situation is

1. you already have a bash script (e.g. in your CI)
2. you want to use an array or dict

Bash arrays and dicts have all sorts of warts. You have to remember to use "${array[@]}" (exactly like that - https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2016/11/06.html )

You can upgrade to YSH, and start using our Python/JS like arrays and dicts instead. And then you can write them to JSON and upload them somewhere.

Another situation is if you use ShellCheck, but you want even more strictness at RUNTIME, then you can do

shopt --set strict:all

Oils is very ambitious -- a complete overhaul of shell -- but that's a couple immediate things.
