Your book is legendary and I have recommended it to a good number of students/programmers-in-learning. Haven't ever made it through (no matter how good the textbook, I'm still not a textbook person...) but immense respect for the time and dedication required to make such a brilliant and engaging learning material.
If you had all of that H2, what is the additional cost to just fix some CO2 into hydrocarbons?

It feels like that would be a much simpler way to get to net zero than having to reinvent all of the infrastructure.

So much simpler that I wonder why anyone would keep trying on hydrogen. Which makes me darkly suspect that the goal is to take our attention off the solution that's already being deployed, i.e. wind and solar.
I don't prep significantly - I already did all the reading and exploring before I applied. I already know I want to work there and that I'm comfortable with the tools they use. And I interview really well off the cuff.

My main problem is that I'm not getting interviews at all right now.
"Project 2025" is just a wishlist from a coalition of conservative thinktanks led by the Heritage Foundation. When Trump claims he hasn't even read it, I don't think he's lying (do you actually think Trump has the attention span to read over 900 pages of thinktank waffle?). It is just a list of things they hope they'll be able to talk Trump (and his appointees) into doing if he is elected. And no doubt he'll probably do some of them. But others he'll only agree to in a watered down form, and yet others he'll reject entirely. Because he doesn't personally agree with a proposal. Or because he worries about negative political blowback (2026 midterms). Or because competing advisors/lobbyists/etc are telling him not to. And nobody really knows for sure what Trump will or won't agree to do, not even Trump himself – although we can guess (the most extreme proposals in the document are arguably the least likely to actually be implemented, its more moderate proposals have a greater chance of actually happening)

Project 2025 is a manifesto of American ideological conservatism; Trump is not an ideological conservative. He's happy to use them to get ahead, but he has no qualms about throwing them under the metaphorical bus whenever he thinks it is in his political self-interest to do so. And they know they'll do this to him – he's done it to them before and he'll do it to them again – but they don't really have anywhere else to go.

Case in point: the recent GOP platform, where Trump single-handedly ripped out a big chunk of the anti-abortion language and anti-marriage equality language – because he is convinced (not without good reason) that stuff is going to cost him with the swing voters he needs to win. And many religious/social conservatives aren't happy [0] – but is anybody listening to them?

one reason react server components make me uncomfortable (they do have their merits) is they encourage commingling of api and presentation. and we all know that presentation layers always fail to design for some user/usecase you just cannot yet foresee
And that’s just for your first recursive descent compiler. One thing to remember is that you will also one day want extended functionality in your language and either implement C FFI in your language(straightforward or even freely done for you depending on language) and call some C library for the purpose or you have to implement the functionality somehow. So you end up writing a lot of stuff you wouldn’t otherwise.
you can make an url shortener that uses short phrases; the s/key word list represents 11 bits per word, so two-word phrases like ode-beam, halo-cham, or jail-heal cover the first two million urls. in my own password generator http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/netbook-misc-devel/bitwords.... i use a custom '12-bit words of 5 letters or less' list which does 12 bits per word, so phrases like acute-doc, cups-forms, or crypt-swap cover your first 16 million shortened urls. these options also give you some degree of error correction

using an url shortener has the advantage that it takes you to the thing the podcast wanted to take you to instead of what a search engine chose to sell you
I considered deploying Talos a few weeks ago, and I ran into this:

https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/issues/8367

Unless I’ve missed something, this isn’t a big deal in an AWS-style cloud where extra storage volumes (EBS, etc) have essentially no incremental cost, and maybe it’s okay on bare metal if the bare metal is explicitly designed with a completely separate boot disk (this includes Raspberry Pi using SD for boot and some other device for actual storage), but it seemed like a mostly showstopping issue for an average server that was specced with the intent to boot off a partition.

I suppose one could fudge it with NVMe namespaces if the hardware cooperates. (I’ve never personally tried setting up a nontrivial namespace setup.)

Has anyone set up Talos in a useful way on a server with a single disk or a single RAID array?
Do things like the internet connection and access to peripherals pass through? Could I use this to have better ssh access to some capabilities of an iphone, for example?

> “Marie Sue” was a character, generally in fan fiction, that was clearly intended as an unrealistically perfect projection of the author;

I'm pretty confident it's specifically spelled "Mary Sue", and probably predates the Internet entirely, though I guess whether it predates the Internet or not doesn't really mean you wouldn't learn about it on the Internet.

> For reasons unclear to me, /b/ stood for “random.”

This is inherited from the Japanese imageboard that inspired 4chan, Futaba Channel. As I recall, the original /b/ was actually "Anime / Random", but /a/ was already taken for the general "Anime" board, thus it was christened /b/.

I do have some more things I was going to comment on but I'll show some restraint since it's not like anything is really inaccurate, even if the commentary is weird to me in some places. That said, I wasn't really able to ascertain the point of this story. Like, about that headline: What does "the decentralized nature" tell us about "Anonymous's" power? I didn't really get much of an impression from the article.

Despite that, it was still an interesting trip through some of the more fascinating things in Internet history, and I found it amusing in that regard.

Unrelated tangent: I have a tendency to think of the early 2000s as the "early Internet", as it's used in this article, but it feels a bit silly when you think about it. It's still relatively early, but it's nowhere near the beginning, especially if you consider before the web. But, I guess since many of us were not there for much of the part before that, it's easier to think of the late 90s and early 2000s as being "the beginning".

Okay, this may sound nuts but I think the only issue with your proposal is that it doesn’t address the reason that this doesn’t happen. Our colleagues do not or do not want to read business communications for the purpose of comprehension for the content of their own work or communication with their colleagues.

I genuinely propose a three strike policy where professional employees are to be fired after three occasions where they demonstrated an inability or unwillingness to read and comprehend important business communications less than two pages or 6 paraphrases in length. This includes emails and internal publications, but not async communication on platforms like Slack, Teams, or non-recorded verbal meetings (digital or otherwise), nor does it include verbal conversations with colleagues in person or otherwise.

I freely admit to wanting a business environment where email communication and content is considered sacred in commercial contexts. Where it’s unacceptable to not only be familiar with but understand well the contents of an email that is now the subject of a meeting or otherwise directly important the content of one’s work.

I’ve tried to right this “meeting should be an email” battle but the reality is shocking: nobody reads anything, for the most part, and when they do, they act like they didn’t.

Reading compression is a faux pa, better to get the accreditation that comes from an in person discussion.

This is the sort of rant that I’m sure I’ve run afoul of as well. But I stand by it regardless. The reason that we have meetings instead of emails is incredible simple: people do not read and comprehend emails.
Every meeting starts with an agenda and ends with minutes or don't bother showing up

Or admit that their de facto purpose is to socialize on company time, which is something that should be done but is hard to quantify

From memory, it actually did get flagged, but then dang made a judgement call to manually unflag it
Probably not - The reason we continue to see attacks is for a couple of reasons:

1) There are very few consequences. At worst, a hacker will get 5-7 years, and the chance of getting caught is low.

2) Security is very very very hard. The defender must get everything right. The attacker only needs to find one flaw.

3) Security does not just depend on security staff. It depends on every software engineer, operations (or devops) engineer, every software dependency, every piece of hardware, etc. If one of these people or dependencies has a problem, the whole system can be cracked. Examples of problems include writing insecure code, getting hacked, not removing old employees from an ACL or group, installing a tool with a back door, etc.

The point is security is hard and it depends on people doing the right thing. It's very hard to get people to do the right thing.

Yes, but Ladybird will be a much smaller attack surface. Starting with a competent, modern base and a great deal fewer lines of code will prove advantageous for both security and performance. See: WireGuard

Missing from this is the reality that the modern world increasingly requires using these applications. It is meaningless to present an option you are forced to agree to. Additionally there is, to me, a big difference between me enabling an app to use my data for the service I believe it provides and them using it for everything else.
This is idea behind GS1 Digital Link [0], basically QR codes to replace barcodes. The QR code will contain a URL which when scanned provides product information to the consumer.

The format of the URL is defined by the standard, so it can contain the EAN for the POS as well as additional data such as expiry date. Almost all 'barcode' scanners in use today can read QR codes so it just needs a software change on the POS.

NYC has a very large variation of density, from skyscrapers packed near each other to relaxed areas of 2-3-story buildings. Interestingly, it's not just packed Manhattan vs deep two-story Brooklyn. Manhattan is very uneven and has both 100-story buildings and 3-story buildings maybe a couple miles apart, and it's not downtown vs outskirts, but the general urban mix.

> Do people really think Google isn't tracking location data without this setting enabled? How would anyone (save for a whistleblower) know?

Frankly I think that Google wont track me if I flip the bit (bugs not withstanding). Maybe I’m a fool. Do I trust mega corps? No, but I trust them enough to not blatantly lie when there’d be huge legal repercussions.

They’re a massive corporation with tons of lawyers. They have an huge reputational risk, and they are already known to track a lot of data. Ignoring the user would be a massive violation. I’m sure there is massive legal penalty to this, enough to make the company care about being honest. You can find the most useless crap they stored it you do a data takeout request, so what’re the odds that entire teams of people have been secretly working on something violating laws and agreements and everyone including legal has just turned a blind eye?

Everywhere I’ve worked required privacy and legal reviews just to touch data that could be a location, nevermind store or use it associated with a user. Frankly the lack of whistleblowers or leaks should be a massive sign that it’s not happening. Google has been terrible at avoiding leaks, and everyone working there seems to be jaded after the layoffs rocked the company.

Regarding the “gay bar” anecdotes - I think there are some weak protections around “derivative data” in some jurisdictions but this is likely a gap in laws. There is a chance that it could be considered derived location and be purged too.

Ps totally agree on the point about police abuse though.
This article keeps talking about "the caucus problem", but never actually defines it. I couldn't follow the post at all because every problem kept ending with "but this isn't the real problem, the caucus problem is".

I don't know what you're talking about at the end, but you're definitely applying an inconsistent (double) standard at at least one point in your comment. The status quo is one where the reference is either completely unresolvable, or the referent accessible only after some effort that would have been better avoided. Forward-declared identifiers don't exacerbate any of these issues. Meanwhile, the set of things ameliorated by them is non-empty.

I’ve had… three separate employers provide me steel toe boots. (Well, had me buy some and reimbursed it.) All allowed me to keep them.

I think it’s mostly just a matter of people’s feet varying in size so much it’s not worth the hassle to try and provide them directly or get them back after, because I’ve had uniform shirts and pants and things taken back, washed, and given to someone else… just never shoes.
Great.

Now Apple just needs to support JIT
> So the thing is, human social relationships demand structure.

This is the part I agree with the most. I'm not sure about the rest.

I can only speak from the perspective of a software engineer. Many meetings, especially daily standups, do not prioritize and filter out user stories and tasks causing them to take way too long. People zone out making the meetings less effective. It's basically weaponized on some projects especially when the management doesn't have a clue what's going on. It enables the blame game e.g. "well why didn't you say something during the meeting?"

It's usually pretty clear what should be discussed, but it's rare to see a project manager who looks at the activity stream on Jira or equivalent. There's usually a huge disconnect between management and dev teams in general, even on a relatively "well run" project where everything goes as planned with minimal friction. Devs wind up picking up a lot of slack and just have their own informal meetings amongst themselves to remedy it.

This is terrible long term. Every project I've ever been on inevitably hits a snag and all this unravels into management going into freak out mode when they realize how big these communication gaps have become.
The general wisdom is that it’s basically impossible for most people to tell the good fund managers from the bad/mediocre ones.

Except Warren buffet. A lot of people went with Berkshire Hathaway and did very well.
"Robot vacuum" is not a solved problem. I've got a Roomba, and it mostly does the vacuuming, but sometimes gets "stuck" in the middle of the room, or maybe against a single wall. My Roomba's nemesis is chair legs, sometimes it gets under a 4-legged chair, but somehow can't find it's way back out. Comical, really. I enjoy my Roomba as something of a pet, but I have come to low expectations about vacuuming completeness.
Yeah, I buy AMD Epyc almost exclusively, primarily because it’s so freaking annoying to even decide which Intel CPU will work for a given application. Plus you can usually get current or previous generation Epyc cores new for less than half the MSRP.
