Very good piece: I've linked to it from my home page!

When people say "solar PV doesn't fit 9-5 very well" I say that's because 9-5 is totally artificial and, to a degree, inhuman. Let's cut our suit to fit our cloth, and shift more of our work to when the energy is available, get up with the sun, and go to bed with dusk when we feel like it.

One of the freedoms of working for myself is that I can do just that. And it feels better.

So not only is it a nicer life, we also eliminate the need for a lot of expensive energy storage.

From a pure technical point of view, I agree with you. But there is no doubt they all have played an important role in popularising deeplearning. I am fancisnated in the history of deeplearning and how it went from a field no one cared to what it is today.
Yup. Just like the Ferrari California.
Reminds me of Microsoft's need to handle security updates on pirated copies of windows. It is more dangerous / costly to their legitimate users and the rest of the internet to have pirated copies without the updates floating around than the cost of the freeloaders.

I believe there were points with windows xp where this was not the case.

No. I use Safari for both desktop and mobile, if that matters. I never search. I don't need custom styles to increase readability. I don't need more space around headlines, or article preview thumbnails, or any other superfluous thing. I open interesting headlines for reading and comment threads for discussion into background tabs. I read. I close tabs. I move on with my day.

Why did you think I was joking?

Uber has one every 11 days on average in London.

I take issue with this, but even granting it as true for the sake of argument: most people aren't upgrading from a 7+ to an 8+... they're upgrading from a 5S, or a 6, and the difference is massive. Portrait Mode alone is giant leap forward for normal people taking pictures of kids or pets.
This is no different from early currency -- it was very difficult to protect from theft, and when you had lots of it, you were an easy target.

I am also very interested in learning more about using WebAssembly as a primary deployment target for desktop applications. Recently when I was working on a cross-platform C++ application using Qt and boost, a major pain point was in understanding the different packaging conventions of the operating systems.

If WebAssembly takes off, and is available on Windows, macOS, and Linux, would it be possible for me to build just a single binary from a C++ compiler which could work natively on all three operating systems? Would the WebAssembly project build the necessary infrastructure (linkers, dynamic loader, etc) for this to work?
> A well run company will always have more work for each employee than is possible for them to complete.

That's utter MBA bullshit, based on 19th century pseudoscience (Taylorism).

1. Employee's incentives are never 100% aligned with company interests. That's an aspirational goal at best. This means that each employee will be under constant stress of doing what's best for the company vs doing what's best for his career.

2. A side effect for #1 is that it is even more untrue that employee's incentives are aligned among each other's. Even disregarding power struggles between individuals, it is often the case that job roles are adversarial in nature (think programmers vs testers dichotomy). This mean that even if an employee does a set of actions at the job that achieve +90% efficiency for his role, he may be pushing innefficiencies to other peers' roles (and should be doing so, according to game theory).

3. Independently of #1 and #2, efficiency comes at the cost of flexibility. Working conditions for today are not going to be necessarily the same tomorrow; and optimizing for today, every day, will put you in a position that forces you to change gears constantly, which is "inefficient" in the overall scheme of things.

Personally, from my experience working a support role in HP, our manager strived for 80% resource utilization, - meaning we were strictly measured in our use of time, and if we were working more than 32 effective hours per week it was seen as a symptom of us either being undertrainned or our team being understaffed.

You may think that paying someone to just hang around one day per week doing nothing was "inefficient". It was not, all of our coffee breaks, rest-room breaks, smalltalk with peers, etc, came out of that budget, for starters. It was always very strictly measured, even more so because I was a contractor and therefore payed overtime at 2 or 3 times my normal hourly rate, depending on the particular hours I put it. And I can hardly think of a time I worked with more intense focus in my career.

And then, comes the issue of the emergency blackouts. One month before leaving that particular job, we had a catastrophic failure, where the recovery procedure itself failed and we had to jumpstart the mission critical system the long, hard way. It took 2 out of 7 people in my team to be devoted to that effort around the clock, and it would not have been humanly possible of the other 5 of us would not have had that 20% of slack to bear the blunt of the whole regular workload that was still expected from us during the time the brown-out lasted.
You know, the thing that really gets me about these things is this: Most of the people getting laid off did nothing wrong; all most of them are guilty of is choosing the wrong company to work for. Meanwhile, the executives and managers are guilty of mismanagement, yet they're getting rewarded for doing this.
A lot of groundwater in Michigan, but in that very place the groundwater meets surface, everywhere. It supplies vast areas of marshland and swamp and huge ecosystem that surrounds it. If you reduce the pressure by pumping aquifer and groundwater (a lot of sand there), will it divert the groundwater from replenishing the surface, that is the wetlands, the rivers, and the lakes that all this wildlife depends? Measurement is needed, and undergoing as I understand. BTW, Mich is so varied because of its unique geological history; across the state underneath it is like very different places 10s to 1000s of feet below, from sand to granite to salt domes, many different types of technical soils(?) IIRC. PS No, there may be, but if there were reliable studies it would not be so controversial.
> I don't think the "treadmill experts" at treadmillreviews.net are any more reputable than Good Housekeeping's youtube channel.

Can you find a better reference? Or one suggesting that cups/bottles do not require cleaning after being used to contain only water? That seems like a testable hypothesis.

Is the burden of proof on me? I'm not suggesting any particular course of action. I'm just suggesting that it is not unreasonable to buy a bottle of water, in certain situations.

> Your opposition's argument is that it's "unnecessary" which is measurable and, in my view, not disproven in the research from the treadmill experts.

No, the treadmill tests are not hugely informative. It provides some indication that there is in some cases bacterial buildup on reused water bottles (that are not washed).

So, if you want to make an informed decision, it would be useful to have more data. It's does not currently seem reasonable to call people "lazy" or "apathetic" for occasionally consuming bottled water.

To be clear, that's the main issue. An arbitrary judgment against other people is being made without good supporting evidence.

> "People are different, and have different requirements and priorities" is an intellectual dead end.

Is it not obvious that people have different requirements? Is it hard to imagine a variety of situations where you might not easily be able to bring your own empty water bottle? Or situations in which it might be convenient to purchase water, and a container for water?

Using the logic presented here, I could easily also say that a reusable water bottle is lazy and apathetic. Because most people are near enough to a source of water that they could just wait to have a drink. They don't need to waste resources by creating yet another water container... but I understand that it might be convenient for them, and they've decided to make that tradeoff.
A court is an arm of the Kingdom of Spain, and a judge is a Kingdom employee. In US parlance, where the EFF is based, we would say the court is an arm of the government, and the judge is a government employee, thus this is a government action.

In European parlance, 'the government' often means the currently in-power group of legislative representatives, which causes much confusion in the US when we hear 'a new government was formed in X', or 'the government will be dissolved in Y'.
It's not my base data.

It's the Met Police force who have intervened and given their reasons why.

What I tell people about our Vanagon Westfalia (which has even less space), if you're spending a lot of time in the van you're doing it wrong. If you want to live in it, get a Class C (built on a box truck chassis) or better. If you just want a windproof, waterproof container to sleep in that has the conveniences of running water, stove and a fridge, a camper van might be for you. We also have two 60-80 lb. dogs. Space considerations mean the dogs get the downstairs bed, we take the upper bunk. Winter camping (in Seattle == 40F and drizzling rain) gets a little claustrophobic between weather and very early sunset, so we usually spend but a night or two.

Making the bed is no more an annoyance than it is tent camping. Still, it takes me all of five minutes either way: open the valve on the mattress pad, unroll the sleeping bag. If you have a young back, you don't even need the sleeping pad, as it's got a (pretty poor) mattress already.

As for making us smile, yes, it does. My parents offered to chip in for us to buy a larger Class C (enough for us to buy a low-end new one with no money out of our pocket). We turned them down. We wouldn't have room to keep the Westy, and we realized we loved the Westy too much to get rid of him.

I too used Linux at that time and I remember that problem. The workaround in those days was to use esound. IIRC it also disappeared by the switch to alsa.

FreeBSD also doesn't have this problem, and it's still using the OSS api. Let's not confuse API with implimentation.

Do you believe there is a strong inverse correlation between intellectual and aesthetic value? If so, PG and much of the userbase here seems to agree with you, given the pearl-clutching and hand-wringing whenever new features or styles are discussed. I would disagree, as I believe it is quite possible to have a site that is both well designed and which hosts content of high intellectual value. You don't have to choose one or the other, you can have both.
Likely because the lower valuation comes with better terms or lower expectations.
In the broad sense of the word, yes, it is censorship. But I do not think it falls under political speech.

The content blocked is content being announced by an official entity (Generalitat) containing information about the unilateral organization of a referendum. The Generalitat as an official organism needs to abide by the existing constitutional laws. The judge as initial measure, has dictated to retrieve all official material with information regarding the organization of the referendum. No other pages from dotCAT have been seized, including unofficial ones with information about the referendum.

The EFF should also take into account that the Generalitat has unlawfully obtained private information from millions of citizens in order to be able to create a list of possible voters.
> the base word

Is it really the same word? holistic comes from Greek ὅλος, whereas whole is a word of Germanic origin.

Of course that doesn't mean they aren't from the same Indo-European root — after all, whole certainly has cognates in many languages with the same meaning, such as Russian целый. But Wiktionary tells me that whole is from Proto-Indo-European ٭kóylos, whereas holistic is from PIE
٭solh₂wós.

In any case, the initial w in whole is an innovation in Early Modern English without etymological justification, so a more logical choice to emphasize the similarity would be to revert to the spelling hole.

Also spoken confidently like someone that never tried to play sound in two applications at once.

This has worked well in ALSA for years now. Now, ALSA won't let you set the volume of each application separately, but most applications have their own volume control for that anyway.

And you'll never have to deal with the application's volume Pulse's volume for that source disagreeing, and scratching your head as to why even though you set the volume to max, it isn't getting very loud. To be fair, maybe this has been entirely solved; the last time I used Pulse was ~5 years ago[0], so I might be a bit out of date. But not more out-of-date than the claim that ALSA can't play sound in two applications at once!
