Nobody will make the lifestyle changes. Or do you? Do you sit in a cold house as you type this? Do you not shower? Do you only grow your own vegetables in your backyard? Do you never use a car? Do you not even own a car? Do you have children? It's terrible for climate to have children?

I think it sounds somewhat nice in theory to make lifestyle changes, and sure it helps, but it's not a solution. It's like if you are in financial trouble. Sure you can decide to not spend any money anymore. That definitely helps. But if you sell your car to save money and then cannot make it to job interviews anymore then you saved too much. You need to focus on getting money (and maybe spending it in the process) AND saving money. Focusing only on saving money is a losing strategy. Same with climate. Focusing only on using less energy is a losing strategy. Sometimes you need to spend energy to save energy in the future.

Depends what you mean by worse: ink is a big problem for recycling paper (along polymer-filmed "papers"). Thermal ink isn’t an exception and contrary to other printer types, it need to cover the whole page for the printer to work.

I don’t think it’s a major health problem if you don’t consume your daily newspaper after reading.

You can get used impact printers fairly cheaply off eBay. They still have a use case in restaurant kitchens - where heat doesn't play nicely with thermal paper, and the noise alerts you to a new order. In Europe where fiscal printers are becoming the norm, it's usually cheaper to buy a new printer than repair and recertify it, if it breaks.

Most receipt printers support the ESC/POS protocol, so an abstraction isn't really needed.

That is really different from "Don't write code related to work on the weekend. That is unethical no matter what the law says."

I see no problem whatsoever with taking contract for emergency fixes done on weekend, billed appropriately. Or working flexible tine billed hourly.

(unless it impacts your family badly or something, but it is far from blanket ban on working on weekends)

Why Many South Asians Hate to Queue
The future of our society is in a large part online, and I'd rather youth to grow up into those platforms with adequate tools to handle them than to just get in at 16. No matter what phenomena you look at, by the time a generation grows around a certain tech or condition as a given it just blends into everyday normal life. It happened with the TV, Internet, Instant Messaging, YouTube, Facebook and now TikTok. Happens as we speak with ChatGPT. I wouldn't ban it until 16 either, I'd teach kids about it from first grade.
Refreshing to be reminded of a relatively simple alternative to websockets. For a short time, I worked at a now-defunct startup which had made the decision for websockets. It was an app that would often be used on holiday so testing was done on hotel and restaurant wifi. Websockets made that difficult.

Fascinatingly effective, but maybe I'm the only one getting the heebie-jeebies when someone suggests implementing this in production corp networks. Sure it's super convenient, but the thought of bypassing all traditional NATs and firewalls, and instead relying solely on a software ACL, seems super risky. Maybe I just don't understand how it works, but it seems that a bad actor getting access to a stray VM with Tailscale on it in, say, your AWS testing env, essentially has an clear path all the way into your laptop on the internal corp network, through the kernel, into user space and into the Tailscale ACL code as the sole arbiter of granting or blocking access. Would I even know someone unauthorized made it that far?

One of the drawbacks, as I learned - SSE have limit on number of up to ~6 open connections (browser + domain name). This can quickly become a limiting factor when you open the same web page in multiple tabs.
Interesting. On the other hand, this isn't about willpower per se. That's onlt an example. It's about identity. You are - or can be - what you identify to be. I've seen the power of identity mentioned in various books including books by: Annie Duke, Michael Easter, Nir Eyal, and (I believe) James Clear. Others? Anyone?

At a more pop culture level, it's a version of Ted Lasso's "Believe".

Fwiw, I've distilled this all down to a single heuristic:

Belief drives behavior.
We must first tune our own sense of truth and compassion to point our moral compass in the right direction. My parents have fallen victim to FoxNews' cult of dishonesty and fascism. I am at their service, but they don't want the truth, so they continue wondering in the darkness, not even caring to experience our extraordinarily delightful and accomplished children.

As to our children, they have never had either a smartphone or unmonitored access to the internet. It's that simple.

Through the twist of fate that is the pandemic combined with living in public housing, they were already home-schooled as they didn't need to be around other adolescents watching "Game of Thrones" or porn, or listening to Black Metal or the more ignorant kinds of Hip Hop (glorifying wealth, violence, objectification of women, and braggadocio).

We are each the product of many different cultures, which we then combine into our own individual cultural worldview. Few people appear able to apersonally evaluate their cultural tendencies, so they are susceptible to influence from the dishonest, immoral and/or belligerent.

They were raised with compassion and taught why we should be as compassionate as possible to every single person, and that makes them a delight for every single person they encounter. I have found that surrounding them by good people, ideas, attitudes, and behaviors was important to their development.

Keeping them away from submorons who are both ignorant and overconfident is an important factor in the development of young adults. I know this deeply because -- while not myself belligerent -- I was a total dipshi_t as a teenager.

I do not blame my parents for my idiocy, for they worked their asses off to provide for us. I blame our society for not facilitating our being able to have responsible adults around to educate myself and my peers.

My first rule of parenting is to not let children raise children. When left to their own devices (PNI), they tend to gravitate to the worst ideas, and the younger kids will learn from their elders' abyssmal examples.

The fact that pip is the official client isn’t in dispute.

I think your statement might only apply to 32 bit (one of the constraints mentioned early in the blog post was 64 bit).

But even if it was 32 bit, then we would't have to copy a 1, since the syscall number for sys_write would be 4 instead of 1.

I get the same total size with both variants in 64 bit mode.

Wow, how can you one come up with the impression that induction isn't a problem solving technique and be in a position to decide about math or cs curriculum? Induction is one of the most fundamental proof techniques in mathematics. And every program is isomorphic to a proof in some logic. I'll skip the details, lookup Curry-Howard isomorphism if interested. But that means if you develop a mathematical intuition of induction you also develop an intuition on programs, usually on complicated programs. That is enormously helpful in programming, unless you only want to program CRUD services and spreadsheets.
> The future of our society is in a large part online

I wonder how accurate this is.

I have no account in any social media except in LinkedIn (which I see more as a job portal than social media), and that's how I raise my kids. I live without facebook, instagram, twitter, or whatever else and I'd risk to say life is better without those.
Yes I think that's a good estimate, especially compared to California which is already high on the wage level even by US standards.

I think it's also that for me search isn't a huge deal. I probably could easily get away with the $5 plan, I don't think I do 300 searches a month.

Even when I have computer issues I try to figure them out and searching is more of a last-resort. My goal is to have a deep understanding of how things work. And that pays off too, I have kinda a reputation at work "If you can't figure it out, talk to him".

But yes it's nothing compared to what I spend on hardware and other software (I donate to some FOSS projects I use a lot, like KDE).

However in terms of services I'm very very focused on self-hosting, hence SearXNG appealed to me a lot more than Kagi. Not even because of the cost, but because of the above: I like to deeply understand and be able to control the tech I work with.

Maybe I will use kagi some day, but for now I'm happy with what I have. But yeah the cost for me would be a bigger factor in that decision.

And in terms of coffee: I brew it at home too of course. But for us at work it's not just about the coffee, it's a social moment. Every morning there's a message going around: "We're just going down to our friends" by which they mean the girls in the coffee shop across the road. We then sit outside for 20 minutes taking a cofee and some of us smoking one. It's nice and not as forced as like a "standup" talk.

There's a difference between TV / Internet / Instant Messaging and YouTube / Facebook / TikTok / ChatGPT.

That is a whole lot of different levels of exploits that would have to be chained together that you just trivialized there.

I don't think you're familiar with the topic. Nearly every single person who goes to jail will be released and may become your neighbor. I suggest you research the subject instead of pulling anecdotes from your ass.

" the stats don't indicate any persistent institutional success despite decades of effort and rotating fashions"

This is the exact problem that fuels mass incarceration and costs us tax payers and society infinite sums. In some places, even in Texas this model has been rejected because it's more expensive for tax payers to jail everyone.

Let's spell it out for the obstinate:

Jails have incentive to fill beds.

Jails have incentive to not rehabilitate.

Inmates go to jail and become worse because they're in a bad place.

Inmates are released with hostile support (probation).

Jail bed gets filled.

No probably not for me. I really don't use search an awful lot. It's not that important to me for my internet use. What I do a lot is read sites like HN here and find things I like and then dig down and keep notes. My notes are higher in my priority and I do for example pay the $4 monthly for Obsidian notes (though I'm considering to set up my own sync server, not really to save costs but to have more understanding and control). And that's while I have OneNote available to me too (but I don't use it anymore because it's terrible especially on Linux where only the web client is available).

But search, it's just not that high in priority in my workflow.

The coffee thing was just to put the Silicon Valley: "It's just one starbucks coffee" into perspective, to show it's not like that all over the world :)

Lore is Windows 11 is Windows 10X built for phones and tables too. The start menu really appears influenced by Android where it just flat shows everything installed and you're more inclined to search instead.

I do agree however - a beta for Win10 was a hybrid of tiles mixed with a Windows 7 list that throws back to Windows 2000 and I set that as my peak - you could have the best of both. The notifications area has always been weak and the settings panel is crap compared to the control panel (though debatable if control panel ever was the best we could have since it's somewhat cluttered and complex)

Now take in consideration that when using a single language, doing in Rust takes much longer than C++, even without taking into consideration the existing middleware engines, and support for hot code reloading.

Also that stuff like SDL and SFML are pretty much the go tool for DYI folks, and Khronos standards are all based in C and C++.

Additionally, if a managed language is good enough, and does support compilation to native code via AOT, and the middleware tooling, it makes Rust's selling point even weaker.

Which is what you see in how Unity/HPC#/NativeAOT, FNA/clang, Swift, Java/Kotlin (on Android see XR), already offer today.
Very true, even cellphones get deprecated very quickly.
