I was surprised that there was no mention of the latest drama in "the kinds of things the board talks about" section. I would have assumed it was something that was a topic at the board retreat. But, maybe Simon was deliberately trying to avoid mentioning specifics to today and make this a more general post?

I would like to see an independent investigation into the recent events of the CoC WG, because it really appears to be indefensible.
Production of animals for consumption has been on the rise [1] at a rate that's higher than population growth.

In the North American and Europe it looks to have stabilized and maybe declined a little [2]. That's not a steep decline.

Why is it unjust to prosecute people who harm a business and unsuspecting customers of that business by disclosing 0-day vulnerabilities publicly without giving them even a chance to patch?

The poster here has no proof that the vulnerability was already being exploited. For all we know, as obvious as this was, no one else had yet thought to look.

This is like going around people's house doors, testing to see if they are unlocked, and if they are, posting a big sign saying "unlocked door" on each one. It's obviously an anti-social act masquerading as benevolent, and it should be punished. Of course, the company running such highly vulnerable code should also be punished, but that doesn't absolve anyone.
Yeah, if they’ve actually tried that approach well, I hope their luck holds but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Interesting. I've been reading about the much lower costs of grid level storage and the fact that it's now getting into economies of scale. I also assume there's a lot of room for cost reduction in wind over the next decade, while I'm guessing Nuclear won't see the same level of changes. Won't this change the situation significantly over the next decade.
> My boss at this point understands that he's often putting me in a double or triple bind, but is obligated to do so and is never going to get approval for not doing so; My attempts to acquire verbal directives as to priority are met with "figure it out" and a grin. But then he's also extremely forgiving about accountability, doesn't attempt to apply metrics, because he understands that I'm going to be working on it all day anyway.

Seems like at this point, you two have trust which has been built up based on respect/maturity, evidence of honesty/sincerity and delivery. You two are more or less a well oiled machine.
Why hold wind to a higher standard than a nuclear plant? A nuclear plant typically has 95% uptime. Wind/PV/storage can hit 95% or 99% or 99.9% a lot cheaper than Hinkley can hit 95%.

If only the speed was the big issue, but mostly it is the mass. Even with all the reckless cyclists there are very little fatalities where cyclist runs over pedestrian. Ultimately separating all groups would be the best, but heavy consequences for the heaviest road users is ultimately the solution.
If you're in a mostly humid area, like half of the US, It's better money to get a simple ventilation fan and dehumidifier. ERVs won't work half as well for 3-4x price.

I'm still not buying the claims made about ERV efficiency. As a passive device, they could only ever remove half of the excess moisture form the fresh air, and there's no way they're approaching that performance when the air passes through the diffuser in a quarter second.

I would not quote the dutch design as a success, in fact it's the opposite. Yes people and kids rides bikes, however, they ALSO have the highest road density in Europe for cars :

And are in the top 10 of highest co2 emissions in europe

Then the pigheadedness of dutch cyclists not wearing helmets makes up for a lot of deaths

https://etsc.eu/dutch-road-safety-thrown-back-in-time-15-yea...

Yes, some of the cycling paths are separated from car traffic, but the vast majority of the cycling lanes are not. It's just a painted line, that combined with often times, very narrow roads, and a growing population (highest density of people in europe), cyclists gets knocked of the bikes.

And then let's not even get into a discussion about how dutch cyclists don't follow traffic rules at all.

If anything, the dutch have a cycling problem.
There is a lot of that just like people think opening pizza place is a great business - if they look only cost of wheat and water, cheese; it sounds like god knows what margins are there, $1 ingredients and sell for $20. In reality margins are much lower and if you don’t have a good spot you probably will loose money.

Cyclists rarely leave the bike lane for pleasure, it's usually either because a car is parked on the bike lane, pedestrians are walking on it, or because there's litter or a bad surface (bikes are much more sensitive to uneven road surface, but at the same time bike lanes, especially those that are separated from the road, are often built with lower standards than the streets).

Reading your comment one would think cyclists are just suicidal for the fun of it, but try to think of them as humans who have a goal to achieve and are trying to achieve it with the best efficiency/safety balance they can find, like other people. Cars are everywhere on the road, impeding and endangering cyclists, so it's often a matter of trying to find the "least dangerous" way to do something, and that might even involve getting on the wrong side of the road at times. But it's not for fun.
Indeed. We can only have a small amount of solar, but wind keeps blowing at night, Nucular continues, biomas too. The gap we need to bridge most urgently is turning off gas generation. Take a look here, https://www.energydashboard.co.uk/historical the majority of "turning off gas" is daytime demand that needs to be covered.
but Rust isn't a ML, it has ML aspects (and not few) but that's it

Many ML patters do not work well in rust at all, and trying to force them will lead to a lot of unnecessarily complex code i.e. hard to write, maintain and potentially even read. And to be clear I mean rust specific issues, not issues due to not being familiar with ML.

The issue is with ML in Rust you very easily hit some of the corners where Rust isn't yet fully flushed out, corners you tend to rarely run into if you write non-ML code with some ML aspects instead of ML code.

Depends on what, if any, penalties there are for discontinuing.
If it's been developed as a singleton application (all features always registered/enabled on startup, only one instance ever running), even that might prove to be quite hard. No idea what else to call a monolith that could never run as more than one instance at the same time.

You might have to go through dozens of files and sprinkle feature flags throughout to enable/disable certain modules and making any organizational changes to a codebase over a million lines of code is difficult. Plus, when you have 1000 API endpoints that's generally treated as just "the API", then splitting that up in meaningful ways might present challenges. Aside from that, even if you can cut down on what needs to be enabled for certain development scenarios, you are still compiling the whole monolith, so locally you're saving on some runtime resource usage at best and will still sit around when you make any changes that need you to relaunch the monolith.

In general, I agree. I'd even build new systems as modular monoliths first. Except when it comes to large systems of any kind, even just updating the dependencies might sometimes be impossible (in a reasonable timeframe).

The point is not quantitative, but philosophical. The attitude is the problem, not the absolute cost. The attitude is what propagates more serious problems, and that is what engineer types often fail to understand.
> Of course, you can also ask about the blockers ahead of time or just do something else

Sure, but that’s going to impact the claimed time differential if you have to schedule it and wait.

I think both approaches have their merits but unless you’re in a group focused on the same goals I prefer the approach of trying to solve it yourself and trying an asynchronous message first, possibly turning into synchronous if needed, because the first two steps don’t have dependencies and will make the last more productive.

The shop that replaces my batteries also makes a nice income from reselling one-year-old iphones.

I know some people consider replacing an almost new phone unethical, no matter how it's done. That seems a bit calvinist… the iphone can be sold for about half price and the buyer will get support and upgrades for 5+ years. From my environmentalist point of view, I don't see anything to complain about. Some people pay Apple a pretty penny to get the New Shiny, other people get a well-built device at a good price with comparatively long support, Apple profits, all three are happy.
The direct quote that I pasted is clearly criticizing the refined grains and added sugars recommendations as well as the 50% carb recommendation.

Would anyone care if their phone was .5mm thicker?

I realize if this logic was applied to everything the phone could double in thickness, but for a consumable part like a battery, it seems worth the sacrifice to make the repair trivial for the average user armed with nothing but a small screw driver.

How Has Amazon Changed Middle-Earth Canon?
There was a talk about this prior. This was used in place of TCP, but where TCP is designed to run over unreliable networks, this protocol achieves speed and latency figures comparable to others, while still being able to retain commodity IP switches in the cluster. By having a fixed buffer, no lingers, faster opens, they increase the speed and latency, without going to dedicated vendors or other stacks.
congrats! now you have a broken app! go ahead, try to add any new contact. you will get a allow to read contact loop.

denying contact access haven't worked since 2018

on android you can work around by adding all contacts via wa.me/+1... urls on the browser and then allowing to open with app (or constructing the activity, but that's even harder for regular users)

either way, that's for 0.00000000001% of users. as i said, they have dark patterns which work.
Teams encourages this awful pattern because their public “teams” don’t just have a normal-ass chat (and you can’t change it to be one), but a weird interface that seems to mainly be for announcements-with-comments.

And god help you if your org also has a short chat retention policy.

They may be, as any correlation might imply causation, but it would surprise me. Stack Overflow, great libraries (and their communities), all the data science/scientific computing open source work, the work to date on pypi, the lower barrier-to-entry syntax, as well as actual (C)Python improvements are the main things.

As an analogy, I've seen in previous companies that the HR believes they set the culture of the company, and they do things that attempt to improve the culture, but I'd still say that 99%+ of company culture is not coming from HR, except if it were extremely negative (e.g. Microsoft and stack ranking). Thankfully my more recent companies have understood this much more, which is wonderful.

I remember seeing a brief documentary on Youtube, detailing how school lunches were made in Japan. They just followed the lunch production for a single day, but it was enlightening. The menu that day was teriyaki yellowtail tuna, with roasted burdock root, apple slices, tonjiru miso soup with pork, tofu, wok-fried vegetables and dashi, with Koshikihari rice from the Nagano province.

Everything was prepared fresh in the morning, placed into bento boxes, and delivered by lunch for consumption. The per-student cost of all of this was ~$35 American -- edit -- $35 for the entire month. Roughly $1.70 a day to feed a student an amazing meal.

I was frankly dumbfounded at how delicious everything looked, and especially for how cheaply everything had been prepared. I would have been delighted to pay $15 or more for this meal.
>Or batteries, but yes.

Grid batteries make sense for those 30 second to 30 minute outages but it seems unlikely that they would be viable for those 2 week cloudy windless spells we get.

My understanding is the UK plans to fill that gap with peaker gas plants with CCS. They are being contracted for a maximum of two weeks in the year.

I don’t think anyone thinks that VPS is hard. Contrary, it seems universally acknowledged that VPS are way cheaper than cloud. Still people buy cloud for other reasons, good or bad.

To me it is

- ECS: simpler k8s, autoscaling
- CloudFormation, terraform, CDK and pulumi.
- Lambda
I'd amend that to being confusion between the accepted norm of service vs poor service. I'm fully aware that there is breathing space in a service, it's not a conveyor belt.

Your anecdote is nice. I think another thing to recognise is everyone has different expectations around service time and availability of service. The great thing about some of these systems is you can choose, the one I helped implement is there if you want it, if not your table falls back to classical service, and best of all there are of course still staff around to talk to if you need.
