> 1GW drops to almost zero at night

I'm not sure what that means (or if it's really true). The temperature at night doesn't drop to almost (absolute) zero; the oceans don't freeze; so plenty of the Sun's energy must still be present.
History seems to disagree. The views being expressed openly today couldn't have been expressed openly in the past. The KKK is still a thing. I'm not advocating we parade these ideas around, I'm firmly a believer in refusing to give bigotry a platform, but that's not the bit I'm focusing on.

People are wildly variant in their experiences and cognition but we all decipher meaning from layers in speech. It's possible for a person to fail to comprehend, fail to obtain the necessary context, fail to connect their actions to harm, but succeed in receiving the hostility encoded in speech. Eventually a person walks away with a model of the world that a person disagrees not because they see something but because they just don't like you. You can see this everywhere in that every criticism the left has of the right they turn it around on the left.

> Big changes mostly come from waiting for bigots to die out, and not replacing them with new ones.

Bigotry never dies out. It's a natural facet of our existence and our current methodology for addressing it exacerbates the problem because we live in a world where a person defeated in argument can rally with others. There is no making a minority of bigotry in an endlessly connected world.

And here is The NeWS Toolkit version of capture.ps that captures NeWS application window drawings as PostScript:

But Glenn Reid's original tour-de-force PostScript Distillery is still the gold standard, that does the most optimization and works with more PostScript documents, and led the way to PDF. (Adobe's Acrobat Distiller is actually built into a real PostScript interpreter, not written in PostScript like Glenn's Distillery, but he proved the possibility and usefulness of the concept, and the power and flexibility of PostScript, long before PDF was a thing.) It's a great read if you want to learn a lot about the inner workings of PostScript:

I totally agree with you -- staying motivated, especially if you are learning alone from home, it's incredibly difficult. I have a thesis that I have recently started to validate which is that you can considerably improve motivation in self-directed learning environments by introducing online collaborative learning.

Potentially, yes. Assuming that you are correctly synchronizing the actions inside each Task as to avoid race conditions (a big assumption), there is no control on the number of threads here. What if your program is already using a bunch of threads for something else, and then you go ahead and spawn off 10 more? You will oversaturate the CPU and end up with virtual threads, thus incurring scheduling overhead. In my opinion when you are doing this type of thing you should almost always use a thread pool to ensure that you aren't creating an unreasonable number of threads.

These kinds of realizations make me sad that life is so relatively short.
You were clearly trying to paint "the other side" as unreasonable zealots, who pretend that upstanding, hardworking immigrants are under threat, when really it's only the classic illegal immigrant stereotype that your side have a problem with. (This stereotype is also BS but that's a different story...)

Unfortunately for you, someone right at the very top of the Republican party that is in charge right now said something that blatantly contradicts your stated claim that this is an invented concern. Trump has also made comments about the 1965 change in immigration laws that makes it clear that the skin color of immigrants is more important to him than their legality, numbers or skill level.

So feel free to apologize for misrepresenting their opinions or defend your original claim, rather than pretend you said something else.

I'm the product of a Jesuit Education - too many readings, papers, and discussions about good, evil, and morality. At some point, a tension between community-values and individual-values can be recognized to exist. Laws reflect those values, and moral laws will reflect community-values and those trade-offs. When laws no longer reflect the real values of a community - they aren't the moral laws of the community any longer - and then the moral choice is to disobey the law.

My impression is that US society hasn't reflected the trade-offs desired by our community for a long time. There was the Princeton study recently confirming that Congressional votes almost exclusively reflect the values of the wealthy 1%, while only coincidentally reflecting the rest of society on occasion.
> Same cannot be said about typescript considering various language features and syntactic sugar TS offers

I think you're vastly misinterpreting what TS is.

It's not anything like CoffeeScript. It's JS plus types and a few other features like Interfaces or advanced ECMAScript features when targetting older versions of the standard.

If you strip away types by exporting to your ECMAScript target of choice, you'll get real JavaScript with the same style as it was written in TypeScript.

It's exactly the same thing you'd get with Flow in that sense. The only additional code you'd get would be for polyfills, but a) those are minimal and b) those will only appear if you export to an older ECMAScript version than the one you wrote it in.

There is no vendor lock.

I have to disagree with that. Most workloads (H.264 decoding/encoding, gaming, typical desktop software, etc) are ALU-bound not FPU-bound. So the FX series is generally beating Intel on the perf/$ metric, just because it is so darn inexpensive. In my experience a $100 FX CPU is as good as a $200 Intel CPU when doing H.264 encoding:

I'm in total agreement with this reply. Regarding the silence of the centrists it is due to fear of being labeled with a pejorative that will be difficult to shake, even if it's within a small community and not widely publicized. That kind of ostracization, even if only in your neighborhood/town/city/workplace, can have a significant negative effect on your life, and the lives of your loved ones. For example, if you vocalize even mild support of some sort of immigration restrictions you are branded a racist, regardless of whether your reasoning for your support is logically sound or whether your implementation approach is measured or thoughtful.

The result is that the extremism rampant today has a chilling effect on the voices of what I believe is the vast majority of people. Where that may lead is something that could be quite scary.

>By contrast, suspend and Wi-Fi on laptops has been a perpetual headache

I completely disagree about WiFi. I haven't had problems with that on Linux in many years. Maybe you're buying some really crappy WiFi chips, but I've done fine with both Broadcom and Intel. I'd stick to Intel though.

>and suboptimal GPU utilization is a common cause of battery life issues on Linux laptop setups

I'd say that GPUs are the perpetual headache on Linux with regards to hardware support. More than anything else. All the problems with getting Linux to run on desktop/laptop machines has usually come down to poor GPU support for many years now.

>Furthermore, the peculiarities in laptop keyboards, webcams and touchpads are often incompletely supported; generally only the most common laptop models will get support for the topbar keys before they're obsolete.

I haven't had any trouble with this stuff for ages. It all "just works" on Latitudes and Thinkpads. I don't do anything special; I just install the latest Linux Mint and it just works.

That doesn't follow, at all. If we're talking about Earth-like life, then any such life would need protection from radiation to be able to live long enough to reproduce. If such protection wasn't provided by the planet's atmosphere, then life there wouldn't move out of the water. In any case, the mutation rate would need to be extremely low, as it is with Earth life.

i use sendgrid, and like the product, but the customer support is pretty terrible. i accidentially sent myself about 20k devlog emails, and they suspended my account. not just "i'm sorry you are over quota" but actually suspended, meaning I couldn't just upgrade my plan to fix things.

worse still, i sent them a request to un-suspend my account at 5:20pm on a weekday, had their indian support ho-hum about it over the next 13 hours until I finally submitted a new ticket around 7am in the morning and their USA support picked it up, fixing my issue in about 30 min. (total downtime near 14 hours).

i will keep using them because I doubt the disaster scenarios for other providers is going to be much better, but I'm also going to setup a second mail provider as a failover for the next time I have issues with them.

At the risk of probably repeating myself, allow me to give my $0.02:

> - You are writing javascript, not typescript.

Flow's and TypeScript's distance to JS world are the same, and are very similar in most cases. If you want to add type to one, it's the same as in the other. The only difference here is the file extension, since TS tends to like .ts/.tsx.

> - When typescript came out, I was an early adopter, and a lot of it's touted benefits were the class-like syntax and constructors to make it more palatable to enterprise shops (not for me, but it was easier to sell to higher ups), this is mostly a moot point now.

True, although IMO the greatest feature of TS is making your code stronger, not compiling things that are already part of some ECMAScript version.

>- flow can be attached to any codebase as the codebase stands easily. It is, I have found, difficult to bring TS into an existing project.

True, with TS it's more of a lateral move rather than drops here and there.

>- flow fits nicely into existing popular js tooling, mainly babel and react.

TS works just as well; better, IMO, because dev tools (editors, linters) have better TS support in my experience. Writing React in JS to me makes me feel like I'm using Notepad since there's so much TS helps me with that is lost when using a purely dynamic language.

>- no risk of vendor lock in. Maybe TS compiles to pure 100% syntactically correct javascript today, maybe it doesn't in the future. It isn't javascript, so I won't know.

It does compile to pure JS so ejecting TS is easy; it's trying to follow future standards and proposed changes, not create something different; the project is open source. There is no vendor lock in.
You're spot on. The original use of the term libertarian actually referred to socialist anarchists who were not only against the unjust power of the state but also against other forms of authoritarian power structures like the capitalist economy and social stratification by gender, race etc. Nowadays they have to go by left-libertarian or libertarian socialist (or just plain anarchist).

I don't know how "Libertarian" came to mean what it does now but it is a very incoherent ideology for exactly the reasons you point out and it probably continues to exist due to powerful interests in the "ruse" you mention too.

It seems that this could be an interesting system to be targeted by a FOCAL mission. It is the idea to use the sun as a large telescope by using its gravitational sense. One would have to have a telescope placed about 550 AU or so away from the sun, on the opposite side of the system you want to look at.

The magnification could be large enough to analyze features on exoplanets. My dream would be to build a telescope large enough, so that with the help of the gravitational lens of the sun we'd have a google-earth like view of the exoplanets.

FWIW, Roy Fielding's paper[1] on REST (where the word comes from) was very specific that a REST api is a hypermedia/hypertext based api, and that if it isn't hypermedia, it isn't REST.
