Yeah, I find the need to live forever kind of.. juvenile? You can’t let go of your ego for long enough to realise that at some point it’s better to make room for a new human with new perspectives and new ideas? I like to think of it this wa

I guess we don’t say that USA had “sanctions” against the Soviet Union, but there was a monumental improvement in economic relations after the Soviet Union collapsed, no? So we have a direct example from history from the same region. I woul

Is it just me or is everyone in this comment talking past each other, with half of them not really understanding what the article is complaining about? My take-away was that the article concludes that Rust is NOT a good tool for working wi

Do you know that it’s common for genocide to include acts that aim to destroy a nation or culture even when it’s by other methods other than killing all its people? Maybe you don’t agree with this definition, but in a list of events that is

There’s nothing preventing you from having a single pull request in for merging branches over multiple repos. There’s nothing preventing you from having a parent repo with a lock file that gives you a single linear set of commits tracking t

This could be “famous last words”, but as someone who has worked with chip security I’d be very surprised if anyone breaks this generation of hardware at the chip level. A decade ago the engineers designing these chips knew there were sever

First I’ll just say that I do agree that the left has a big problem with negativity towards - or just simply ignoring - young men’s problems. I don’t believe in the solutions the right prescribes, but yeah, the left desperately needs to com

Europe in total has contributed twice as much to Ukraine as USA. And much of that is spending that actually affects their economy, not just “we’re going to give a billion dollars of equipment that we were going to have to replace soon anywa

What do you mean? Europe has contributed twice as much to Ukraine compared to USA. Yeah, in plain military spending USA has given more, but a war isn’t won with just guns. This has been a strategy that has made sense given USAs military ind

That’s ridiculously naive. This WAS the path we were on. But EU didn’t reject Russia. Russia rejected EU. EU liberal democratic culture was a threat to Putins power. He did not want Russia or their immediate neighbours (which could influenc

I think there's something to be said about the value of a calculated protest vote. For young men, who doesn't feel that the Democrats are offering them a world view where they are valued at all, why should they vote Democrat? Mayb

You're on to something. I think Scott Galloway got it right in this interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzLmznS91kM The Democratic party has a problem communicating to young white men why they should vote democr

Yup, exactly. I have a flir one, and I’ll have to keep my old lightning iPhone around just so I can use the flir camera when I need it. There are probably a bunch of such peripherals. The key difference between MacBooks and iPads where they

Who predicted Chinas imminent collapse back then? It was certainly not a mainstream prediction. More serious predictions have been made in recent years. And lo and behold we got Evergrande. The news since that has not been great. Some succe

The future of electric transportation is bikes. Or some share of it at least. Perhaps something along the lines of Altera later, but we’re not there yet. Our family has a big-ish crossover. With modern safe child seats that’s almost a neces

All these things were gonna happen anyway. Or if not these things then China would aim to dominate in some other field. You think the capital allocated to these projects would otherwise sit idle? I don’t see any problems here 1. After China

If you have a lot of experience with C, and take just a glance at the basics of Zig, I think you’ll understand why each of those changes were made. C doesn’t have very good syntax. Nether for compiler (correctly interpreting the code requir

I found Jeff’s Bezos interview with everyday astronaut really illuminating on this topic. Supposedly they’re working on both a reusable and cost optimised non-reusable second stage at the same time. And they don’t really know yet which one

I think they should have used the labels we’re using here in Norway. I find them very clear: - “Last consumption date” (maybe not safe to eat after this date) - “Best before” - these days they sometimes also add “.. but often good after”

My favourite version of Windows was Windows 2000. It was stable, visually consistent and fairly simple. But Windows 11 is a massive improvement over Windows 2000 in many, many areas. Just because Windows 2000 was my favourite doesn’t mean I

Since we don’t drive very much I’m actually worried that the battery will have a lot of capacity left by the time the rest of the car is dead. I also never need more than 10-20% of my capacity on any given day. As long as the battery is in

In the areas where Zig really shines, the equivalent code in Rust would probably have a lot of “unsafe” keywords which basically disables the memory safety features anyway. I think it remains to be seen if Zig is less safe than Rust in prac

Passing the Turing test has always been a non-binary thing. Chat bots have been able to pass off as a human for a short time under certain circumstances. Now they can pass off as human for a longer time under more circumstances. But I don’t

All product development is essentially from external pressure. Whether it's from customers, competitors or regulators. Of course they'd rather sell you the same thing every year without any R&D expenses, if they could. Anyone

What’s insane is that battery grid storage has already overtaken pumped hydro storage, and practically all of that is in just the last few years. We haven’t really even ramped up production of battery chemistries that are tailor made for

I’m mostly happy with the computing power of my iPhone SE. It has been a bit sluggish lately. It could be new apps being less efficient but I suspect it’s mostly the phone throttling because the battery is old and can’t supply as much curre
