I think Jensen Huang stated that Moore's law is dead a few times. I've seen projections of cost per transistor for the leading node being more expensive than the trailing node. The only reason to pursue it would be that the market can bear the additional cost because power or some other attribute is better.
I for one have gotten a piece of land and have begun planting as many edible perennials as I can. Think nuts, fruits and berries. Hopefully it can be a small part in both food security for those near and dear, and also do a tiny tiny bit for the co2 footprint as well.
Did Zuckerberg himself support conspiracy theories? Or does he regret succumbing to government requests for censoring that type of content? Sounds to me like he wants to allow certain kinds of speech on his platform, regardless of whether or not he personally agrees with them.
If you don't like the word, you're free to use something else.

I won't — "enshittification" is an extremely precise word that captures exactly what's going on with products, services, companies, and many other entities.
I’ve been scratching my own itch lately trying to build a communication medium that I like.

IMO the problem with current social networks is their scale and public only approach. Any network that goes this way ends up with lots of bad actors and public only approach means that it’s easy to harass people and bots are economically viable.

I’ve addressed both points [0]. Visibility of the posts is limited to direct connections, you need a proxy connection to make a new one and at the same time it’s mega easy to import/export, markdown support and apis are there etc. That was my way to get miningful discussions back.

In general, you need to look to small scale places

For a normal reactor, the energy for pumping/lifting that amount of cooling water consumes too much of the energy output.

It's not too dissimilar from running a hydro energy turbine backwards.

Successful from the point of view of the consumer, yes.
I hold an electrical certification in the EU, though I'm not currently practicing.

A quick point: transient surges are usually fine. Both cables and circuit breakers are designed to fail (trip or burn out) under sustained overloads. For example, a 16A Class C circuit breaker might take around an hour to trip with a constant 17A load, but a ~80A load would trip it ~instantly.

PS: Of course, everything is a matter of integration over time (heat dissipation in cables mostly).
They have explained clearly enough.

Their system of subsidies limits the production of rice, so they do not have any rice surplus.

Because of that, even a very small increase in rice demand, like from having more tourists than expected in 2024 (I have also visited Japan this year, benefiting from the small prices after yen conversion) has been enough so that the demand could not be satisfied, resulting in increased prices.

After tasting the Japanese rice in Japan, I agree with the article that their rice is by far the best and that the government policy of limiting the rice production is wrong and it would be much better for them to produce a rice surplus and attempt to export it.

As they are aware, they could not compete directly with the cheaper rice from Thailand or other major exporters, but they could compete successfully in the "more expensive but better" rice category.
I think the headline should be "We sell templates" and then the rest of the landing page should just be a display of templates with buy buttons.
Yes but per the article, this policy has been active for 60 years. They're not temporarily buoying after a seasonal surplus, they're just paying farmers not to farm ..... for generations.
The Dutch Innovation Box regime provides a lower effective tax rate (7% as of 2024) on profits derived from qualifying intellectual property, such as patents and software. For companies like Uber, which rely heavily on proprietary technology, this can significantly reduce their overall tax burden on profits derived from IP.

The participation exemption in the Netherlands allows companies to receive dividends and capital gains from qualifying foreign subsidiaries free from Dutch corporate tax. This is particularly beneficial for multinational corporations with substantial foreign operations, as it prevents profits from being taxed multiple times as they move up through the corporate structure.

The Netherlands is a popular location for holding companies due to its favorable tax regime for holding and managing subsidiaries. The combination of participation exemptions, tax treaties, and rulings makes it ideal for structuring complex international operations.

So... a nation like the Netherlands optimizes their tax laws such that it's advantageous for businesses that are otherwise completely unrelated to their nation to HQ in their nation to avoid their proper tax burdens in the country they were started in and operate in much more significantly, for the benefit of the Netherlands getting additional tax revenue and to the detriment of other nations who would otherwise be able to tax that business.

Some people might call that a "tax shelter." Since it you know, benefits Uber, benefits the Netherlands, at the detriment of the nation(s) that Uber operates in...
I wonder how much of this is actually just inflation. The first sign of inflation is shortages, usually, and then people raise prices to keep the goods on the shelf.
The problem for me is, that I don't want to use a site where I can stumble upon gore, obscure sex stuff or some ragebait political stuff in the first place.
I think it lost its prominence years ago. Wading through the muck of answers that were not relevant or just too old is a waste of time. I get much better answers from AI these days.

They issue "state of the developer" reports every year that I think are laughable. The answers on SO are mostly for beginners so they can hardly claim they have deep insights into all developers. There is also a huge void of representation around non open-source and vendor specific languages. It should be called "state of the beginner web/js developer" and it would be more accurate.

That's a bit of a metaphor for the current world, isn't it? Out there, it's a cultural desert with Mad Max undertones; but in our well-behaved, manicured corners of intellectualist internet, all is good and everyone agrees with each other.

Yes, and considering the cost of a nuclear plant a mile beneath the earth, just spending on geothermal would probably be cheaper, but "go deeper" isn't quite so simple either. Even in places with above average volcanism or a thinner barrier between the surface and mantle, you'd need to drill at least a couple miles down unless you're very lucky, and that extra mile (as a likely minimum) makes a big difference on cost and effort.

The plasticity, or ductility, of rock increases at higher pressures and temperatures, making it harder to drill through it, thus making it rapidly more expensive for additional units of depth beyond a certain point.
No. We didn't. At least not we all.

Yeah that's a problem. I agree.
Typo in that

Nice cherry picking.
The difference is that OPEC countries colluding to raise prices hurt other countries, not their own people (they generally subsidise petrol for their own citizens), whereas Japan's policy of artificially raising the price of Japanese rice hurts Japanese consumers, and Japanese consumers vastly outnumber Japanese farmers.
Be consistent. Be consistent with what is standard/normal/customary for the language. If there is not one answer to that, at least be consistent in a codebase. Don't use error codes in some places and exceptions in others (and Maybe/Option types somewhere else). Pick one approach and stick with it, because if you don't, you'll get error-handling bugs at the boundaries where you switch from one approach to the other.
Nah, enshittification is a way better word. Platform decay sounds too natural, like a tree falling in a forest.

It's like when the platform itself tries its hand at shitposting. When the software becomes shitware. Not so much a passive voice, but an active somebody-threw-it-down-the-shitter kind of vibe.

There is no dark matter in theories of superfluid quantum gravity.

Dirac later went to Dirac sea. Gödel had already proposed dust solutions, which are fluidic.

1,600 m vertical depth through hard rock at hydrocarbon extraction bore widths is likely 120 days, onshore @ $15,000 US per day (perhaps) + casing costs + everything else.

that's a rough $2 million basement estimation (sans casing + headwork) with many complicating factors that can easily blow it up.
> Even the term hip hop—which Van Der Meer and Tate knew to be multifaceted—has mostly shrunk down to mean "the popular shit people saw on TV and heard on mainstream radio." Rich Purcell, an English professor at the University of Mississippi, affirms this idea: “The hip hop I knew was a culture. It was capacious. It was unwieldy. It was more than rap. To conflate it with rap music is the easiest and most reductive way to discuss what hip hop is.”

This is the key. Words create worlds. Hip hop - much like journalism and leadership - has morphed into something that has little if anything to do with its original meaning. Hip hop is used as a synonym with rapping, which immediate cuts out the DJ'ing, break dancing, and graffiti.

This is a use-case where Stackoverflow fails as well - oh so often I have a problem where Stackoverflow has a question with answers that were true some years ago for an earlier version, but is not true anymore, so the existing answers are worse than useless (as in, they're actively misleading and wasting time) but re-asking the question gets closed as duplicate.

Being unable to clearly mark the bounds of relevancy for answers (in a structured way that affects search) is a major weakspot of SO.
At this point it feels like this argument is dead an buried. So many non-native apps on every platform, most platforms even have multiple official GUI toolkits/widget styles so even first party apps are inconsistent.

I wouldn’t say likely better. It’s very… recognizable.
I think the general concept here is putting in place restrictions on what code can do in service of making software more reliable and maintainable. The analogy I like to use is construction. If buildings were built like software, you'd see things like a light switch in the penthouse accidentally flushing a toilet in the basement. Bugs like that don't typically happen in construction because the laws of physics impose serious limitations on how physical objects can interact with each other. The best tools I have found to create meaningful limitations on code are a modern strong static type system with type inference and pure functions...i.e. being able to delineate which functions have side effects and which don't. These two features combine nicely to allow you to create systems where the type system gives you fine-grained control over the type of side effects that you allow. It's really powerful and allows the enforcement of all kinds of useful code invariants.
Same. I do a lot of research and try to get a sense of the person/team behind it and their values, vision, dedication, if they accept outside contributions, etc.

A few years ago it became popular to document the project processes, but it all turned into generic code of conduct garbage and abstract governance pillars, as if they were writing a constitution. So looking at GitHub issues and commit history is still the best way. And very well invested time.
It makes a lot more sense to allow them to grow it and to buy any surplus at a certain minimum price, then store it against famine years.

I just publicly released the first version of my
web+email+database combined server package that
I have been using myself for a while now for all
the different server based projects I have been
working on.

https://www.robalni.org/server/

I try to keep it as small and simple as possible
while still being flexible and containing everything
in one package that you need to write server applications.
It also has no dependencies except for very common
stuff like a standard C library and a Unix-like
operating system.
If you're at all interested in the mentioned book, and you enjoyed atomic habits, then you really ought to read Peak.

Atomic habits is great on the operational side for systematically allocating time toward your goals. Establishing reliable and sustainable time-on-task.

Peak is great for having a critical framework for how, specifically, you use that allocated time. Optimizing effectiveness-of-practice.

Most likely what they actually mean is:

This server has two IEC C20 connectors, rated for ~16 amps, each feeding a PSU rated for 1600W (i.e. 16A @ 100v)

If you're plugging in to 110v you shouldn't plug them both into the same outlet, as a 20A circuit can't supply 32A.

As each PSU is rated for 1600W you'll have to plug both in to get 3200W even if you're running on 220v - although they'd only draw ~7.2A each in that case.

US Residential 220v dryer outlets are usually wired one-circuit-to-one-outlet, and multi-way adaptors are discouraged. So although plugging two 7.2A loads into a single 20A feed would work from a current perspective (and indeed it's common in Europe), I don't know how easy it is to do legally.

If you're in a data centre with a 3-phase 220v power you probably know what you're doing. Your UPS guy will probably thank you if you split your load over two phases instead of putting the whole load onto one phase.
You can even do something akin to this package with the "InternalsVisibleTo" property on the assembly, so you can expose your internal classes to other specified assemblies. For non-C# folks, Internal classes are normally visible only to other classes within the same assembly. This is very useful for building a tightly controlled public API while maintaining a testable code-base.

This option is typically used for exposing your internal classes to a unit test project, but can also be useful for exposing to LINQPad, and could be used like the above to hand out control to other assemblies.
That's very cool. But QML is so great and easy, I don't see why I should use this, except if I'm insisting on programming with Python. But then, I must remind myself that much of QML code is compiled to C++ these days[1], so there must be some big performance difference between the two?

Anyway, that's still very cool.

Or just use reactor designs that have a negative void coefficient and won't end up in a positive feedback loop.

There are many to choose from now.

The high cost of nuclear fission plants comes from deliberate government, petro-corporation and environmentalist attempts to kill it off (usually funded by petrostate interests like Russia, Qatar or oil corporations directly).
Just being nitpicky - I'm from the EU, but I think in the US, you can get either:

240V: Split-phase, this gives you 120V between each leg and neutral, and 240V across the two legs.
208V: The interphase in a 3-phase system.

Might be still within tolerance of 220V :)

HTH, ducking out :)

Original author here, thanks for the comment! I also think that backend would be an interesting subject to try and reduce, if only to not constantly wade through 100s of Dependabot pull requests... It's a very different scenario where you will want to optimize different things (code size usually does not matter as much, for example) and you have various deployment options (serverless, containerized, edge, ...) etc. so quite the Pandora's box, I think. Interesting nonetheless!

The bottleneck for most CGI requests wasn’t the language, it was the fork()ing for each request.

Granted there will be some CPU intensive services that will benefit from C but I still wouldn’t call CGI “pretty fast”.

That’s not to say I’d dislike CGI. I made a fair amount of money in my early career based on services written to use CGI. But the reasons why we had things like fastcgi, mod_perl, and the HTTP servers included in language frameworks was to mitigate the overhead of expensive process forking.

Crop situation index is percentage yield of the area cultivated. 2023 had 101% of the expected yield per area, so it’s not a bad harvest (2022 had a 96 due to the typhoon, for instance). Which means the high price of rice results from some combination of increased consumption or reduced cultivation area.

I've been using Finale since 1994, and am sad.

I'm willing to give Dorico a shot, but that's a lot of years of muscle memory to re-train unless it can be configured to use the same keyboard shortcuts.
I sense a parallel between that and the dropoff of SQL over lossy and impedance mismatched but "easy" ORMs and document stores. People don't realize they're trying to have their cake and eat it too maybe?

With the policy being active, non-stop, for 60 years (as opposed to temporary incentives to buoy farmers during a bad year) it's clearly politicking. Especially given the sleight-of-hand from the Abe administration (as mentioned in the article) where they claimed to kill the subsidy but actually only killed its limitations. In short - not sure why you've been downvoted.
