I feel like Apple is to some extent the last bastion of this idea, at least as far as big tech companies go. (You could probably lump HP and Dell in there too, but to a lesser extent in my opinion).

Since they produce hardware, they have are in a fairly unique place to push on device computing. Since their products are expensive, they don’t need to chase down every bit of extra “as a service” revenue at the long term expense of the product.
Speaking of IAC- I have an existing GCP project with some basic infra (service accounts, cloud run jobs, cloud build scripts, and databases) what is the best tool to _import_ all of this into IAC. The only real tool I’ve found is terraformer. I have no dog in the race regarding tooling e.g if my output is Pulumi, terraform, or just straight YAML. I’m just looking to “codify” it.

Any suggestions from experience?

More Good Programming Quotes, Part 6
Solarpunk is largely our reality.

• Solar and wind hit 30% of global electricity in 2023 (up from 19% in 2000), with solar growing 22% yearly since 2010.

• Vertical farming is proliferating, and projected to increase by 25% annually through 2030.

• Urban greening is spreading with, for example, New York, seeing an increase of 100,000 trees between 2005 and 2015.
I think this is an important thought, but climate actions are often more than choosing the path of least emissions, especially since the options available are determined by our current economic system.

Sites like the one you're referencing (https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/ if I'm correct) don't just exit to be normal sites with less emissions, they're also presenting a vision of the kinds of things our tech world could and should value differently.
Indeed. This isn't really a replacement for terraform, unless you are only using terraform to manage k8s resources. Which probably isn't most people who are currently using Terraform.

A couple things:

1. The academy has had a significant increase of young voters in the past 10 years or so. Generally speaking, young voters are more likely to take animation as a "serious" medium.

2. These interviews were always somewhat overstated. Of course some voters have stupid rationales, but I don't think this dominates the academy.

3. Disney's Inside Out 2 was nowhere close to winning the award this year - Flow's biggest competition was The Wild Robot, which did gross far more than Inside Out 2, but far below Inside Out 2.

If you look at the past couple years, The Boy and the Heron (Studio Ghibli) won over Across the Spider-Verse (with Pixar's movie Elemental nowhere close) in 2023, Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio won over Across the Spider-Verse (with Pixar's movie Turning Red nowhere close) in 2022, etc.

I'm curious what year you're thinking about above. Perhaps Toy Story 4 over Klaus in 2019?

Or it means that the original bans were primarily instituted because of myopic geopolitics and not because of any meaningful threats. In particular US ire towards Kaspersky grew rapidly after it was the only antivirus that picked up on NSA/'equation group' malware.

It's similar how the US banned all cooperation with China in space [1] because of some tropes about them being unable to do anything except steal American tech. That's why, to this day, there are no Chinese on the ISS. After that law China proceeded to develop, launch, and man their own space station, put a rover on Mars, and even carry out an unprecedented sample return mission from the dark side of the Moon, and just generally run circles around the US (except perhaps SpaceX) in space. Interestingly US researchers may not be able to access those Moon samples (which China shared with scientists worldwide) due to this stupid law.

What bad bets? Rust?
ENUM is alive and well, and used in telecom, it's just not public for most numbering plans. If you need to know the carrier of a number for call routing, there's a chance you'll use ENUM under the hood.

To the OP. Phone number portability was a plausible demand, because a) it already existed in some form for toll free numbers and other specialty numbers, and b) the number of telephone carriers subject to portability is generally quite small, so there's not a lot of regulatory reach required. OTOH, there are thousands of email providers, and forcing them all to provide forwarding of some sort would be a massive undertaking.

It might not be pleasant to change your email address... on the other hand, email is probably slowly dying, so it might not be a big deal in another 20 years. :P

One person in this discussion claims they could live off the interest of $500 million invested in money markets. That's the level of seriousness and credibility so far.

Just adding some context here that I think a lot of other comments miss, but the envivonmental movement is often anti-nuclear because it's seen as not progressing passed our system's current extraction based economy.

Naomi Klein's "This Changes Everything" probably makes this case most clearly, arguing nuclear uses finite resources, creates waste and is damaging to mine.

I'm not arguing for this case here, but that view is very popular in environmentalist circles and probably explains why nuclear is absent from solarpunk literature.

My brothers farm had an offer by a similar startup with different dimensions but basically the same idea.

Had problems though. First was moving parts. You can not expect a system to last outside with any in them. Budget for the whole affair is tight, large repairs undo the whole endeavour .

Second is crops riping at different speeds below.

Finally practicality of the frame for farming machines . Meaning the dimensions need to adapt to pre-existing machines. And ideally remain upright even if one post gets hit.

Finally honesty regarding erosion ..corn is one of the more erosion prone crops and then having water dumped on specific areas concentrated creates channels fast. So the idea does not work with no crops or erosion crops in rainy areas. There is a reason there is grass below most solar fields.

One good aspect they didn't push is that this is ideal for electro farming. We have hyper effective electric moisture traps now and electro nitrogen fixing- combine that and this can remove one need for driving trucks through.

In all other aspects i see this limited to orchards.

In one sense the more solar we install, the more energy is produced, the cheaper that energy gets. I'd suggest that's a feature not a bug.

I agree, was trying to convey the purely economical point of view that owner operators of large utility scale solar likely have.

> I'll start by noting that in my region variable pricing does not exist, so that effect is not in play.

Where abouts are you located? Most electricity networks have market mechanisms, even if the end consumer of the electricity only pays flat usage rate. Although it is a supply and demand problem to balance an electricity network, regulation needs to be carefully controlled and enforced since generators will actively seek out exploits to save/make money that goes against stability of the network.

> I'll also note that we use a lot more energy during the day than at night. They are very much not equal. (Residentially, WFH, about 75% of my daily energy is I the daytime, and hence "free".)

Yup, that is pretty normal in my neck of the woods as well.

> Lastly I point out that storage is the next silver bullet. I generate excess during the day (10 months of the year) and I have a small battery attached to the home. Potentially a larger battery in an electric car. Grid-level storage solutions (perhaps sodium-ion, perhaps something else) will radically move the needle.

It will likely move the needle yes, and for countries with publicly owned networks, they can do this now just at a larger upfront cost. As much as I like home solar panels for generation, but I'm actually not a fan of home batteries. They have a non zero fire risk (unless chemistries like LTO are used, again deemed too expensive) and require more equipment that can fail and then has to be maintained for such a small installation (less than 50kwh for example). When multiplied out, you have a much higher frequency of issues that can take out home power. Distributed solar generation has several weather based advantages as you spread out the generation, cloud disruptions get smoothed out for example. I get that home batteries make the system more resilient in ways, I still just don't think it should be in/around homes. Neighborhood batteries make a lot of sense, especially since networks commonly have zone substations distributed around.
Yes you could easily combine solar panels and poly-tunnels for example. We have the potential over the next few years to make everything work so well but instead the US seems to be cutting cyber funding.
I think a majority of the rants about Terraform I read are written from the perspective of someone managing inherently ephemeral infrastructure - things that are easily disposed of and reprovisioned quickly. The author of such a critique is likely managing an application stack on top of an account that someone else has provided them, a platform team maybe. CDK probably works for you in this case.

Now, if you belong to that platform team and have to manage the state of tens of thousands of "pet" resources that you can't just nuke and recreate using the CDK (because some other team depends on their avaiability) then Terraform is the best thing since sliced bread; it manages state, drift, and the declarative nature of the DSL is desirable.

Horses for courses.

> An inconsistent formalization of human knowledge in the form of a computer program is trivial and uninteresting - it just answers “yes that’s true” to every single question you ask it.

That's only true if you make the program answer by following the rules of some logic that contains the principle of explosion. Not all systems of logic are like that. A computer could use fuzzy logic. It could use a system we haven't thought of yet.

You're imposing constraints on how a computer should operate, and at the same time allowing humans to "think" without similar constraints. If you do that, you don't need Godel's theorem to show that a human is more capable than a computer -- you just built computers that way.

This got me wondering what I actually do in practice. I think it's this:

const KnownFlavors {
Vanilla: "Vanilla",
Chocolate: "Chocolate",
Strawberry: "Strawberry"
}

Then, use a string to hold the actual value.

doug.favoriteFlavor = KnownFlavors.Chocolate;
cindy.favoriteFlavor = "Mint"

case: KnownFlavors.Chocolate:

Expand your list of known flavors whenever you like, your system will still always hold valid data. You get all the benefits of typo-proofing your code, switching on an enum, etc., without having to pile on any wackiness to fool your compiler or keep the data normalized.

It acknowledges the reality that a non-exhaustive enum isn’t really an enum. It’s just a list of things that people might type into that field.

> In today's world, parents (and lawyers) might find it unsafe for boys (very few girls elected to take these classes) but in seven years of shop, I only recall one serious accident involving the loss of a finger tip.

A lot of the danger can be ameliorated by using CNC machines instead of circular saws and hand lathes. Standing 3-6 feet away from the machine when something goes wrong is way better than being 3-6 inches away.

Gantry CNC machines are superior to table saws for almost all sheet goods, anyway.

Sure, the jointer is still kind of dangerous. However, it has a very specialized function and normally you can keep your hands safely away from the blades with various push mechanisms.
Dons glasses well etymologically... the "semi-" in semiconductor means "partial", something between an insulator and a conductor. A capacitor is an insulator between two conductors.

(But this approach fails on the temperature coefficient of resistance test: capacitor ESR increases with temperature while semiconductors have a negative coefficient.)
Very nice, and I like the idea of using a local auto paint shop.

One idea, if you just want to make the one-off bespoke panel, but still support anything bigger than a RasPi cantilevered out the back of it, is to combine your custom panel with an off-the-shelf (ha) rackmount shelf.

You can get shelves that are fairly thin but sturdy sheet steel, that have a lip and clearance below (such as for room for zip ties or non-flush screws from the bottom. And you can also get ones that are flush with the bottom of the unit, and use adhesive (including Velcro pads) to mount the components on top.

If you want an easy way to make a front panel that doesn't look as good as the one in the article, you can get a rackmount gap filler panel, which will probably be thinner steel sheet metal then the aluminum one, and drill/Dremel/lasercut? whatever holes you need in it.

Another option is starting with a rackmount drawer, such as those by some DJs/musicians in road cases. It's a rackmount front panel, plus an all-sides enclosure rest of it. Which you can unlock and slide out. to access the internal components, without unracking. You can drill/cut air holes. Cabling to the rear will vary depending on the design.

Alas, I don't share your optimism about code I wrote myself. In fact, it's often harder to find flaws in my own code, then when reading someone else's code.

Something very cool about this GC is that it's written in F* (technically, a low-level subset called Low) and compiles to memory-safe C,* so it's kind of equivalent to using Rust but they don't have to give up C.

F/Low are also used in Project Everest, which ships formally verified crypto primitives in Firefox and other platforms.

Well, then the warning is still valid because this is a security risk. I guess it'd be fine to be able to suppress the warning explicitly in those cases.
