First of all Tesla is hardly a competitor. Tesla makes consumer vehicles while Nikola was targeteting the trucking business. But in any case being associated with (at the time) a highly successful brand for whom the trees seemed to grow into the heavens was probably a key goal when choosing the name. These days Tesla's brand is a bit tarnished, but the sky was the limit for it back in 2014 when Nikola was founded.

The term PROCHOT just brought me back to vivid memories of debugging exactly that at Facebook a while ago.

The "original sin" there was Roe v. Wade. A right to privacy gives you a right to an abortion? That was highly motivated reasoning, and everybody knew it. (7-2 decision, on a court with 7 liberals and 2 conservatives... what a surprise.)

So conservatives said, all right, if that's the way the game is played, then we need to own the Supreme Court. And here we are.

Don't act like the game started with Reagan. It didn't. It's just that the other side was thoroughly winning before then.

Uuuuuff....

I am Spartan. I grew up in Sparta, Greece.
I am in my "ancient Sparta" reading phase for some months now, I read everything from (modern) Greek, Foreign authors and researchers, as well as ancient texts with references to Sparta (even books/scrolls about "Helen of Troy" or as we call her in Greece/Greek "beautiful Helene" - Ωραία Ελένη.

There is SO MUCH to know about (Ancient) Sparta.

Two Kings? - Check
City without Walls? (who would be crazy enough to attack?) - Check
Simple legislation? (one written Law - Lycurgus) - Check (debatable - depends on the book/scroll)
One prison cell - 4 walls, no ceiling, you stay in until some other criminal is convicted and replaced you (not much crime back in the day) - Check

There was a big shift in the change of the dominant 'tribe' (Δωριείς vs Αχαιοί) post the financial ruin and loss of many men of the Trojan War.

Anyway.. for anyone who hasn't read about Ancient Sparta, it is one of the 'things' that reading it will fulfill you.

Fun fact for the movie 300. The producers sent photographers and photographed the valley, mountains, made an actual scenery of the landscape. I remember watching the movie and understanding where EXACTLY they had placed their cameras from the angle of the mountains, etc. I later asked around and they verified my suspicion.
One issue though.. they they started "marching north" towards Thermopylae, in reality/in the real landscape they walked to the SOUTH, and I remember watching the movie in Athens, and apparently it was me and some other Spartan in the audience, so we both yelled at that point "hey malakes, you are going the wrong way"

One last thing. Perhaps for the foreigners the most famous phrase is "μολων λαβε". For Greeks (I bet you!) is "ή ταν ή επί τας" which literally translates to "either THE or ON THE", which means "I will either walk back CARRYING my/THE shield, or I will be brought back dead CARRIED ON my/THE shield" (apologies for the caps)
I also wear a 12 Euro Casio instead of an Apple Watch. The battery life alone on that will outlive any Apple or any other smart-watch .
Staying in the comfort zone means doing 5 times 1 year of experience. It’s safe, but you are taking a long term risk of becoming less relevant and end up reducing your options.

This makes no sense to me. If you spend five years working on a tech stack that goes out of favor, then some will say you've wasted your time. Personally, I disagree, because experience is experience and what we do is learn, but good luck getting through an HR filter with that.

This just seems like one of those "I'm the beneficiary of luck, now let me tell you how I credit myself for it" posts.

My personal experience is that I've had the greatest growth when I was allowed to pursue what I'm interested in (e.g. coding styles, new libraries, new methods of structuring code such as functional vs OOP). When I get a meddling manager insisting that I do things some other way, I don't learn and grow nearly as much.

It's from Plutarch's "Sayings of Spartan Women":

> [A Spartan mother], as she handed her son his shield, exhorted him, saying, "Either this or upon this."

The Loeb editor comments: "[Attributed] to Gorgo by Aristotle in his Aphorisms, as quoted by Stobaeus, Florilegium VII.31, but it is often spoken of as a regular Spartan custom. Cf., for example, the scholium on Thucydides II.39. Ancient writers were not agreed whether the second half meant to fall upon the shield (dead or wounded) or to be brought home dead upon it. In support of the second (traditional) interpretation cf. Moralia 235A, and Valerius Maximus II.7 ext. 2."

Valerius Maximus II.7 ext. 2 is "maternarum blanditiarum memores, quibus [...] monebantur ut aut vivi cum armis in conspectum earum venirent aut mortui in armis referrentur" — "remembering their mothers' admonition [...] that they should next be seen alive with their armor or reported dead in it."

Plutarch's Moralia 235A, in the Sayings of Spartans, is a verse attributed to Dioscurides: "Lifeless to Pitane came, on his shield upborne, Thrasybulus..."

Moralia 235B supplies my new favorite laconism:

> When Philip of Macedon sent some orders to the Spartans by letter, they wrote thus in reply: "As to what you wrote about: No."
Strongest argument that they didn't is that adding something like that is absolutely a thing Apple would have talked about at length in the press release. They love getting to do extensive "here's something cool that 'only Apple could do'" segments. (And we love to make fun of them for it.)
I think this article underestimates the proportion of crawler traffic. Big companies like Google, Apple, and some grey area companies like Ahrefs, Bytedance, and Yandex are easy to count. But there's a ton of probably automated GET requests that use user agents typical of human driven browsers. A real browser will ask for images, JavaScript, CSS files after a GET of an HTML file, these probably automated GETs don't have those linked to GETs.

I strongly believe that we f you could count the probably automated requests accurately, human driven requests would be a very low proportion of all requests, less than 30%.

That's because tech fetishists are buying hope and optimism. If they actually cared about how to build the future they would be into engineering:

Paperwork, standards, logistics, non-destructive tests, monitoring, certification, other "boring" stuff.

Tech people LOVED bitching about how complicated the USB-C standard is, how it does too much, etc.

Guess what? As a consumer, I can plug pretty much anything into anything else, use literally any brick to charge nearly any device, deliver outstanding amounts of wattage over cables the size of headphone wires, for pretty cheap, and USB-C docks that you just plug into whatever and things just hook up and function.

It does that because of the millions spent on human beings spending time to work out bugs, work around edge cases, discover what people tolerate and care about with the standard, etc.

Consumers ignored all the complaints about it being complicated and just fucking used it and it's ubiquitous and works for pretty much everyone and the only people who have bad experiences are the ones buying exclusively fraudulent cables off amazon and only some of those people are hitting those problems!

I can just plug a cable into the power port and get HDMI out of my steam deck. Holy shit.

THAT'S the future.

Don't limit yourself ...
It's cool they're trying to draw attention to European alternative but who is this information targeting anyway? Bean counters and execs have the final say in these decisions and they never read stuff like this.

Every EU company I ever worked for, from big multinationals to start-ups, mostly used US software and/or US/Chinese products anyway, even though engineers already knew there are FOSS/European alternatives. It all feels futile, kind of like pissing in the ocean.

Because the end goal of any business is to produce and sell as many products as possible, as quickly to market as possible, for as high margins as possible, not focusing if the tools they use to accomplish that goal are European, American, Indian, etc. Usually the more resources you focus on straying from the beaten path to niche solutions or rolling out your own solution, the more resources you waste from the goal of shipping the end product.

Therefore the SW devs and bean counters are still gonna go for Office 365, Azure, Google Workspaces, etc, instead of some no-name European alternative.

When you buy a house do you care if it was built using Bosch, Makita or Milwaukee power tools? Likewise, your customers don't care what SW tools you used either, they care about price, performance, speed and value.

If your competitors can beat you to market by using US/Chinese tools while you focus on using exclusively EU tools, you'll be selected out by the free market, unless some laws and tariffs are enacted against non-EU SW which I don't see happening in Europe.
is there a provider that's like bare metal, but would detect these kinds of things mostly automatic? E.g. faulty or constantly crashing hardware.
The efficiency of using electricity to split water, then compressing and transporting the hydrogen, then using that hydrogen in a fuel cell to power an electric motor, is much worse than using electricity to charge a battery to power an electric motor.

Also electricity is available almost everywhere. Hydrogen is only available at a few specialized fueling stations.

The market seems excited to charge in whatever direction the weathervane has last been pointing, regardless of the real outcomes of running in that direction. Hopefully I’m wrong, but it reminds me very much of this study (I’ll quote a paraphrase)

“A groundbreaking new study of over 1,000 scientists at a major U.S. materials science firm reveals a disturbing paradox: When paired with AI systems, top researchers become extraordinarily more productive – and extraordinarily less satisfied with their work. The numbers tell a stark story: AI assistance helped scientists discover 44% more materials and increased patent filings by 39%. But here's the twist: 82% of these same scientists reported feeling less fulfilled in their jobs.”

There's certainly a place for revisionist history and the Spartan legend seemed like a fair target even before Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire, but it seems ironic to be skewering the Frank-Miller-300 caricature in service to his own caricature of the "second-amendment-sticker-on-my-pickup-truck" guys who are his real target.

Trading between members of our species is part of what puts humans on top; it's another form of collaboration and some other species do it to a degree, but nowhere near the level that we do.

But the evolution from trading x for y to trading x for y governed by z ie introducing fiat currency is the issue.

Lightning trades and trading in general that produces nothing of value is the issue. It goes deeper, with the wealthy able to lobby and keep tax havens legal but I don't expect anything to change so why say anything more on it.
Aside from the good middleware licensing arguments, if my memory serves me, Valve employees get to shift their work to what interests them at the time, and who knows what tidbits of could-be versions of HL3, Portal 3, or other interesting but unannounced (let alone unreleased) games could be in there.

I work in the field. While all players are selling a dream right now, this announcement is even more farcical. Majoranas are still trying to get to the point where they have even one qubit that could be said to exist and whose performance can be quantified.

The majorana approach (compared with more mature technologies like superconducting circuits or trapped ions) is a long game, where there are theoretical reasons to be optimistic, but where experimental reality is so far behind. It might work in the long run, but we're not there yet.
