In every field there are ways that things are done. To review a fleet of airplanes I assume “the way it is done” would be based on trawling through inspection reports, not looking at the actual planes. Elon Musk has a complete disregard for

At the pace the javascript ecosystem is going, by next year it will be almost all of them. Create react app for a new default project pulls in 1400 packages, 300 MB in size, just to put a hello world page on a screen. That nobody thinks thi

What the group is good at in your second category is precisely defining the shape of the problem. In my experience the solution is then still born from an individual's creative efforts, even during this group effort. I prefer the sandw

I used to be free speech absolutist, but I am not any longer, especially when it comes to social media. The argument in favor of absolute free speech for me was basically “let everyone hear everything and make up their own mind”. This presu

To give an example of hurdles for wind power: there are some wind mills in the harbor region of Antwerp that aren’t allowed to generate power during the day because one time a single protected bird flew against the turning arm. They’re only

I can’t shake the feeling we are inching closer to the programmer-archeologist from a deepness in the sky, where gluing together mystery meat is the only sensible thing that still needs doing. “We should rewrite it all,” said Pham. “It’s b

How about asking them to behave respectably . A maintainer takes up explicit and implicit responsibilities to their users. If they are unwilling or unable to discharge those responsibilities in a respectable (“professional”) manner they sh

I also felt that paragraph didn’t hit the mark. All value systems apply rationality to a set of assumptions. Religion starts from the assumption “what is in our holy writing is true” and then applies logic to derive a complete value system.

But will they keep taking that fab capacity over many years and fund the R&D of the next process nodes by buying up guaranteed capacity ahead of time? Apple has been a good partner to TSMC and it would not be wise to replace them for sh

Gas prices were dropping, half what they were at the peak. Putin wants gas prices to remain high to punish the EU and increase his own revenues. Since this incident they’re climbing back up. There are other ways for russia to export the gas

simply no manufacturer makes a laptop with good audio these days Have you listened to the current 16 inch macbook pro? I think modern apple laptops can compare themselves in audio quality to any laptop from the past.

Do those companies that outsource still do their own design? Apple outsources their production to Asia, but they are seen as an American company because they do their own designs. If the same is true for these piano companies I would argue

Not true. You can count knuckles on one hand up to 12, two hands up to 144, or 60 if you’re using fingers of one hand and knuckles of the other. Societies used to count knuckles, which is why duodecimal systems were a lot more popular back

Indeed. Most of humanity still has to be born, so whatever we improve for future humans will be outweighed by whatever hardship it imposes on us, from a strictly rational point of view. The trick is: how do we know we’re making things bette

Doesn’t it help with having only high priority ui updates on the main ui thread with everything else happening in the background? To get low latency ui updates that’s exactly what you want: move everything except the low latency work to dif

Speaking from experience, at shipping time of a new site performance testing is done, and the developers are asked to improve performance until it is just good enough. So it doesn’t matter how big or small the site is, unless by shipping ti

Design is a balancing of constraints, some of which are constraints of the product of the design, and some of which are constraints of the process. Repairability is a constraint, and when that constraint becomes stricter something else has

Too bad this twitter thread is completely free of sources. It made looking up the real numbers way more difficult than it needed to be. I was also entirely unsurprised to see a push for nuclear at the end, because the pro-nuclear camp share

That sounds like RxJS race(), and given that it's JS there's often no cleanup needed (and if there is RxJS has easy ways of doing that as well). https://www.learnrxjs.io/learn-rxjs/operators/combination&#

Sequestering carbon using current methods requires too much energy. In order for CCS to work out we need a surplus of green energy, and we have a deficit. Geo-engineering could be done by changing the planet’s albedo, for example by seeding

It all depends on what requires more energy: breaking apart the airpods to replace the battery, or recycling and delivering a new pair. If the factory line is efficient enough it may be greener to replace instead of repair. Of course it can
