No one was killed.

Honestly a man could act the exact same way if he had a child at 16.
HyperSane··on The planning of U.S. physician shortages (2020)
No, it really hasn't. In 2016 the ACGME increased the consecutive hour limit from a bad 16 to a completely ridiculous 28. The difference between rest requirements for truckers and pilots compared to doctors is just absurd. And it is even worse because doctors should know better than most how sleep deprivation affects people.
HyperSane··on The planning of U.S. physician shortages (2020)
If being a doctor is so incredibly hard then why are they allowed to practice after not sleeping for so long?

How many unit tests does the kernel have to pass before being released as stable?
HyperSane··on XFS Metadata Corruption on Linux 6.3 Tracked Down to One Missing One-Line Patch
A bug as serious as data corruption should be detected before being released.
HyperSane··on XFS Metadata Corruption on Linux 6.3 Tracked Down to One Missing One-Line Patch
That is insane. I would expect as many lines of unit tests as code. Doesn't ReactOS have over ten thousand tests.
HyperSane··on XFS Metadata Corruption on Linux 6.3 Tracked Down to One Missing One-Line Patch
The Linux Kernel has no unit tests?
HyperSane··on Two-thirds of North America at risk of energy shortages during extreme demand [pdf]
"life with oil is ruining the planet"

It isn't ruining the planet, just altering weather, for good or bad.

"fundamentally break it as early as 2030?"

Who is saying this?

ALL of modern civilization is only possible due to cheap energy from oil. We couldn't make solar panels or wind turbines with only power from solar panels and wind turbines.

" Only Muslims are permitted to work in Halal abatoirs. "

Wow, that is really discriminatory! Kosher just needs a Rabbi to certify it.

HyperSane··on GDP is the wrong tool for measuring what matters (2020)
GDP adjusted by Gini coefficient would be a better measure. A massive GDP overly concentrated in the top 1% of the population doesn't improve the lives of the rest of the population.

There is no real alternative to the US dollar as a reserve currency.

How did decentralization become such a religion?
HyperSane··on Two-thirds of North America at risk of energy shortages during extreme demand [pdf]
You can't have it as 100% of the supply because it is too variable.
HyperSane··on Two-thirds of North America at risk of energy shortages during extreme demand [pdf]
Nuclear has the distinct advantage of working at night and is far more consistent than wind.
HyperSane··on Two-thirds of North America at risk of energy shortages during extreme demand [pdf]
That is the most expensive source of electricity.
HyperSane··on Two-thirds of North America at risk of energy shortages during extreme demand [pdf]

It makes absolutely no financial sense to go "off grid".
