The problem is that carbon emissions come from more than just fuel. You also have to take into account the construction of the ship, the crew, loading/unloading, and pre/post-transport.

Best-case scenario, you're looking at a crew of 4 who can transport 6x350T in a year, or 525T / person-year. Meanwhile a container ship has a crew of 20, but it can carry 240.000T, and do in the ballpark of 50 transatlantic crossings a year - so 600.000T / person-year. That discrepancy is large enough that even things like per-crew-member CO2 contributions starts to become relevant.

I'm all for decarbonizing shipping, but this boat is nothing more than a rich person's plaything. It'll contribute absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things. Maybe sail is viable, but at least put it on realistically-sized vessel like [0].

This article does a good job of touching on how empire-style organizational structures are dysfunctional.

The reason monkey keeps jumping around is because there are ZERO directly responsible owners of the delivery of the cross-functional outcome for the business.

In my company, we have PM, Sr. PM, Director of Product, VP of product - interfacing with Designer, Sr. Designer, Design manager, Sr. Design manager, director of design - interfacing with Eng 2, Sr Eng, Eng manager, Sr Eng manager, Eng director, Sr. Eng director, Eng VP.

Nobody can tell who owns the final decisions, decisions cannot be bubbled up, every management chain is only focused on their own goals. There is no decision-making structure at all. Inevitably projects get delayed or there are unaccounted issues. Then each management chain stack ranks their reports for not achieving goals - never once accepting that the empire structure never made any decisions when it was necessary.

The empire structure has to go. It is dysfunctional, doesn't work, and only causes grief to everyone involved. Tasks are unnecessarily hard. It is easy to do. Just make your highest paid people directly responsible for outcomes. Give them the freedom to pull people from various org functions to get a project to success.
Oh, so that's why they used to make them wear those silly wigs.
You might want to check pola.rs then, it's backed by the appache arrow memory models and it's written in rust. All the columns have a defined type and you can easily catch a mistake when loading data

> You aren't obligated to delete perfectly working and tested code.

You aren't obligated to write unit tests either.

If your goal includes long-term maintainability then should refactor for simplicity and consistency. Removing unneeded code and unneeded tests is a good thing.

> coverage is for people who already committed to testing every line of code.

Much as I would like it, I don't have 100% coverage. I use coverage to identify and prioritize which areas of code need more tests. Some are more important than others.

I also use it to identify code which is no longer needed, like workarounds for third-party-package V2021 which have been fixed in late releases, and I have no need to support V2021 any more.

> If you didn't write a bunch of frivolous tests it isn't that much work.

My observation is that people write a bunch of frivolous tests.

> If you want to talk about other types of tests you need to be clear about that.

I am talking about how to design unit tests.

Someone else here pointed to Robert Martin's essay on exactly this topic, at http://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2017/10/03/TestContrava... .

"Design the structure of your [unit] tests to be contra-variant with the structure of your production code. ... The structure of your tests should not be a mirror of the structure of your code."

The issue I'm describing is what Martin characterizes as "the Fragile Test Problem" with some unit test approaches.

This is because we don't have a plausible scenario for that case. "Sir, you already boarded the plane, please leave the airport" is not going to work.

Finding and Fixing Standard Misconceptions About Program Behavior
I tried to migrate to capn-proto but it just doesn't build on MinGW so I have no choice but to wait. Like you say, it gets worse the more I wait. But, if the APIs are somewhat sane, they should hopefully also be somewhat similar: Able to switch case on oneofs, movable data structures etc.

I don't like that protobuf has recently started linking with abseil, which despite being a good framework, I can't use it if it doesn't build absolutely everywhere I need it to. So, maybe I'll be forced over to CapnProto one of these days?

That repeal lasted five years, with virtually none of the visible effects people predicted. By contrast, when the Trump administration started tearing down environmental regulations, mining companies jumped on the occasion within months.

I lived in Tennessee when Google Fiber was announced there. At the time Chattanooga (and a few small towns) already had fiber internet that were offered by the utilities companies.

It was an absolute shitshow. Actually, a shitshow would have been cleaner.

Immediately AT&T rolls out gigabit internet, but not everywhere. I was in one of the small towns with gig and the previous renter had AT&T. AT&T literally cut the lines into the apartment instead of disconnecting them, causing me to have a $50 install fee (the technician was clearly also annoyed).

Then Google, AT&T, and Comcast got into a big fight and it got political. Politicians would talk about how Google coming in was preventing competition (I shit you not) and attacking the little guys. Then a judge ruled that Google couldn't operate on telephone polls because Google would "cause danger to employees" and "be a union violation" (not the unions saying these things, it was AT&T. Obviously this made people think the unions were blocking things and continued to get mad at unions)[0]. So basically one of a Comcast and AT&T technician had to be there while Google would place in fiber and you know how it goes.

It was a literal circus and the whole while it was politicized and misinformation was spreading like wildfire. Big Tech screwing over the little guys. Big Tech coming after the public utilities (never happened). Unions making everything impossible. Something about Big Tech and liberals/trans/gays taking over at some point. Like the on the ground conversations that would happen were mindbogglingly dumb. It actually was hard to figure out what was actually going on because every person and news article would have a unique story to tell. But the weirdest thing to me is about how nearly everyone I knew was a self-proclaimed Libertarian who hated government yet was licking their boots ad propping them up because they didn't want those gay/liberal/furry/godless/<insert random insult> techies rolling in decreasing competition and destroying the free market. That's when I truly started to believe that there's no such thing as a Libertarian (or any other cleanly encapsulated idea, but Libertarians are in your face), it's just a label. Because I watched anti-government free market devotees bend over backwards to protect monopolies and not even have a clue of the cognitive dissonance. It also made me really pay attention to how this happens more often than we care to think (including how we ourselves do it).

The finding on simpler prompts, especially with GPT4 tracks (3.5 requires the opposite).

The take on RAG feels application specific. For our use-case where having details of the past rendered up the ability to generate loose connections is actually a feature. Things like this are what I find excites me most about LLMs, having a way to proxy subjective similarities the way we do when we remember things is one of the benefits of the technology that didn’t really exist before that opens up a new kind of product opportunity.

It probably depends on how much military minutiae you get into. I've only listened to a few of Duncan's podcasts but I've also enjoyed a lot of (but not all of) Dan Carlin's podcasts. The thing is they mostly aren't about tactical elements of battles or history more generally. (They probably assume some general knowledge of the overall geography which I have.) I've also read books, not just military but ones like Endurance, that it's really useful to be able to look at a map.

Not vote for politicians that are ardently anti-consumer and anti-infrastructure? We’re talking about what exists, not who you can call to upgrade your internet :/
I'd say so. Up until the Visual Basic era that was accessible even for literal children (like me), you'd need deep C/C++/ASM knowledge to churn out a program that was reasonably performant, and the rise of the Web+JavaScript expanded accessibility even more as you didn't need an expensive IDE+compiler.

The result of programming getting more accessible obviously leads to a decrease in average quality/skill.
> Without one any language's type system will feel more frustrating than it's worth, since you won't get inline error messages either.

I disagree, for me the integration with the editor mostly shortens feedback cycles, and enables some more advanced features. The utility of identifying problems without running the code is still there.

I have run into this, and I got tipped off by the very specific session timeout that was set on the firewall. The session would come up and work for around 30 seconds, then stop. The outbound packets were going to the firewall but being returned from a different address on the same subnet. The firewall would stop forwarding the outbound packets after the session expired since it did not observe the session being established (as the reply packets did not traverse the firewall).

>Several ISPs are owned by the government: Sasktel, Bruce Telecom, Tbaytel, CityWest

That's cold comfort to the overwhelming majority of people who aren't served by such ISPs. Population of...

Saskatchewan (Sasktel): 1.1M

Bruce County (Bruce Telecom): 66.5k

Thunder Bay District (Tbaytel): 146k

Prince Rupert, British Columbia (CityWest): 13k

That makes up a total of 1.3M, against Canada's population of 37.0M.

Moreover, looking at Sasktel's website[1], their prices don't look too competitive. They're asking for $105/month for 1G (promotional offer, regular price $150), which is actually worse than what corporate ISPs offer, eg. $110/month for 1.5G (promotional offer, regular price $130)[2].

First thought, not having worked with more than 15 people simultaneously in many years:

Oof.
How, exactly, are you supposed to compare if not to other countries? There’s no bar for “this is what a developed country’s internet should look like” so the only way to compare is to do it against other countries roughly in the same range as the US.

It’s also entirely factual to say that in comparison to other developed countries, the US lags in internet.

I agree about KiCAD for schematics and physical layout.

I get the sense this is because altium designer and Autodesk eagle have inexplicably awful UX that's basically stuck in the 80s, and they haven't really improved in what feels like 20 years. But during that time, KiCAD has been making slow but diligent progress towards feature parity.

That makes KiCAD a victory for open source CAD. I hadn't realized that! That gives me hope for other kinds of CAD!

When I say OSS CAD has not had its day, I should now specify that I mean mechanical CAD, NURBS surfacing, and BIM.

My theory is those have evolved so much in the last 20 years, in ways that required such heavy investment, that the OSS community has not been able to catch up.

Thanks for your remark! Much love and support for the KiCAD community!
How are you going to store all that hydrogen? You need extremely large and heavy high-pressure tanks, capable of holding 350–700 bar. Methane can be liquefied and stored at only 10 bar.

Hydrogen just doesn't have the density required here. Even if you want to use hydrogen-powered fuel cells, it might make more sense to convert it to ammonia for transport and storage.

> Yes I'm sure it's all due to competition and not the EU's 2015 law that explicitly requires net neutrality (Net Neutrality Regulation 2015).

Why do these have to be in contention?

Regulations are a critical factor in ensuring competition in markets. Without regulations monopolies quickly come to power because your power and influence is not linearly (or sublinearly) correlated to your size (even excluding lobbying power). A free market is a ,,well'' regulated market. A laissez-faire market is only free in passing.
Canadas ISP situation was far better when Crown corporations were providing better, cheaper services. In standard fashion, conservative government successfully convinced half the population that it’d be better if the crowns were sold.

Up until WWII, Finnish shippers were competitive using sailing ships for long range bulk transport of grain, Eric Newby details one such voyage as a sailor in The Last Grain Race (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Grain_Race). I see no particular reason why sailing ships with a little optimization couldn't be competitive these days if they were back then, especially since the fuel prices comparatively is higher now.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
Will cite it in the next revision.
AFAIK the actual reason most of these things did not appear is because of many states passing their own net neutrality laws, such that it would be a regulatory nightmare to offer services in violation of net neutrality without coming under fire.
Physically attractive people are going to have an advantage in many things, depending on the field. However, sometimes it doesn't matter all that much. And I think in some circumstances it works to their disadvantage esp. when it comes to women.

Some Youtube personalities have been able to succeed despite not being very physically attractive, e.g. Sabine Hossenfelder (sp.), or not even showing their face at all (e.g. Perun) They are just know WTH they are talking about and present it in relatable/funny way.
My clients are firms in the architecture and engineering space. Windows is the only viable platform for AutoCAD (yes, I know there is a Mac version, and yes it is shall we say "feature incomplete") or Revit (yes, I know that ArchiCAD runs on a Mac, but if you're a MechE firm and you want to land jobs you run Revit) or Tekla or Rhino. Microsoft is making it more and more painful for my clients to get their work done and get paid. My kingdom for something better, but until Linux gets reliable native support for Autodesk applications etc it's simply not a viable solution for most firms in AEC.

There was a great short story by Ted Chiang about the biases that surround physical attractiveness. In the story, people could have a brain implant to suppress the brain’s ability to judge other's beauty (or lack thereof). It was pretty thought-provoking and not the typical predicable dystopian parable that most brain modification stories fall into.

I find it fascinating that people seem to care so little about this particular bias when compared to other types of discrimination.
