You don’t identify the party to shame them, you identify the party as part of the Five Why’s. And then additionally to reassess your trust level when someone says they are “done” or offers you advice. Developers bank a lot on this kind of trust and shutting down these so-called “blame” exercises blinds the team. Don’t.

People who don’t at least try to write better code every chance they get have a pretty poor understanding of “best” in a given situation. They will grow very slowly if at all, and their best isn’t good enough. And if it turns out you were the negligent party, don’t you want to know that? Don’t you want to recollect how you rationalized that piece of work and adjust your behaviors?

Above all else, don’t count on a rewrite. It is a Once in a Blue Moon affair and if often goes wrong. It’s the worst kind of crap shoot. The worse things are the less likely the rewrite will work. Rewrites require you to recall the entire featureset and if the project is off the rails then nobody knows all of them, so any part you touch is likely to miss something important.

Hawaii sends out missile alert by mistake
If I understood it correctly, the title is very misleading. It's trying to compute percentage of values where the total sum can be either negative or positive.

Imagine a hypothetical scenario: California added 90 GW worth of new power plants, Texas added another 360 GW, and New York decommissioned old power plants totaling 350 GW. Assuming all other states remained the same, the national power capacity increased by 90+360-350=100 GW.

But if I say "California added 90% of net new electricity capacity," it gives a very misleading impression. The fact that this is silly is clear when we consider Texas: it added 360% of net new electricity capacity!

More fun happens if Iowa decommissioned additional 110 GW of power plants. Now the national net increase is -10 GW, and California contributed -900% of that.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not an electricity expert. Please correct me if I misunderstood anything.
Keep in mind capacity does not equal generation.

A solar facility with 1MW of capacity will generate 1MW at it it’s peak moment, maybe, on a good day. Given the lat, weather and season, maybe you will get 8MW hours total for the day. Whereas a 1MW gas plant could produce 24MW hours for the day.

In other words you could have 100MW of renewable capacity and have 0 generation if it is too cold, dark or calm.
It does.. I didn’t notice that before posting the article here. But, possibly helping their case, at least some of the experiments were done on ears, so double the biological replicates.

Look at insane bull markets last couple of years. Rich people don’t have their money just parked in bank accounts. They own real estate, land, stocks so they benefit greatly while majority of population benefits very little from ever higher highs in the stock market. Basically rich people control most of the stuff which generates passive income without the need of labour which causes ever widending gap between the rich and everybody else and shrinking of middle class.
Not just willing to work, substantial number of them are working. It is just that income is too low or any kind housing is too expensive.

It’s not impossible to maintain full time employment for your staff as contractor. You’ll just have to calculate your rate in a fashion that includes the time between jobs. So it’s cheaper not to keep the staff on a paid contract in that time, doing otherwise reduces the companies earnings since you can’t increase your rate beyond what the competitors demand.
Kimsufi and soyoustart are brands of OVH. You don't need to explain again and again that they sell cheaper servers than AWS. Same for super micro. The HN audience know the common suppliers.

Again, you're arguing for motorbikes instead of trucks because they are cheaper. Noone care about that, trucks were not selected based on costs in the first place.
According to your own link, "In 2016, fossil fuels accounted for 81% of total U.S. energy consumption, the lowest fossil fuel share in the past century." Of course you'd need additional data to show that the absolute amount of electricity generated from fossils, and not just its share of the pie, had declined.

Here is that additional data:

https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.ph...

The sums of the fossil fueled columns (1-5), by yearly GWh, are:

2007 2992238

2008 2926731

2009 2726451

2010 2883361

2011 2788867

2012 2775025

2013 2745968

2014 2750572

2015 2727246

2016 2654468

Total fossil fueled generation is well below where it was a decade ago. The rapid rise of natural gas generation has been more than offset by an even faster decline in generation from other fossil fuels, coal in particular.
Which is supposed to solve the problem how? Now I as a customer am dependent on the proprietary API of some startup? Or do you expect startups to compete on a standardized API?

I guess my cynicism level is the issue :I don't trust Apple a whole lot than, let's say Google.

Their servers are still operating in the US, they don't have a stellar history of protecting their consumer's privacy (for example not so long ago people realized that their iPhones were sending location data to Apple.

Apple's stance on privacy seems more motivated by PR than a genuine core value of the company.
True. REAMDE (same author) is more on the nose, but I also didn't enjoy it as much as a book. Really, Neal Stephenson just doesn't do books with only one major focus.
Even if that is the case, you also have to account for situations where APFS requires far fewer writes entirely (such as, apparently, duplication of files).

In a typical aggregate workflow it’s entirely possible that it’s still a better design.

Or alternatively, why was breaking them out required in the first place?

Pre-64-bit Windows there was only ever the one place. This is a permanent usability regression.

And of course, I wouldn't even need to be digging through there in the first place if the Start menu launcher just worked, but no, they had to junk it up with Cortana, which is so incompetent it can't even find installed applications by name.

I'd be salty too if I had such a rocky interaction with the world.
The irony is that Apple's offering is not at all compelling to anyone who actually understands anything about security and privacy. Yes, Apple's security is strong with respect to outside threats, but at the cost of putting absolute blind trust in Apple. So your actual privacy is only as good as Apple's internal policies allow it to be, and those are not only completely opaque, but Apple is under no obligation whatsoever to maintain those policies in the future. Apple could be selling your data to the Chinese on the side, and there would be no way for you to know. And even if they're not doing it today, they could decide to do it tomorrow. At that point, even if you somehow found out, you'd be very hard-pressed to do anything about it.

[UPDATE] This comment is getting a lot more attention that I expected it to. I've watched the point count on it go as high as 20 and as low as 0, with several cycles between 0 and 10 and back, so a lot of people are voting on it. So let me say a few additional things.

First, I concede that the way I phrased my position was inartful. I apologize for that.

Second, Apple is probably the best solution on the market in terms of security and privacy. My complaint is not about them per se, it's really about the state of the market. My choices are either to hand my data over to Google or Microsoft, or to hand over my control of what I can and cannot run on my system to Apple. Neither of those is a satisfactory option IMHO.
Apparently it was some sort of test gone wrong not a malicious intrusion into an insecure network.

I am sure you didn’t mean it this way, but it struck me as funny saying AMD supports x86-64. Of course AMD supports x86-64, they invented it. That is why Microsoft and Linux refer to that architecture as AMD64.

Regardless of how it is motivated, it is more effective than any PR.

Well, that was just an example for the sake of an analogy?

Obviously, I want a fully machine-readable API to all of my bank's functionality. Which also "downloading transaction data as CSV" does not fit at all if I have to manually log in and download the data. Also, CSV lists of transactions usually are useless for synchronization as they usually don't provide any mechanism to reliably deduplicate transactions and to check for completeness.
No topic is really out of bounds, but some require an extra order of thinking that isn't reflected in the simple and inflammatory language people tend to use to discuss them. Being politically incorrect is just another way of being and thinking lazy and wasting other people's time.
Ooh. Sounds interesting. I've taken an OCR approach before (see my profile for post) since I thought the iOS app had cert pinning, but this method takes the cake and (presumably) will be faster in a game situation.
This was during the Heian period of Japan / Tang dynasty of China though, and the spoken language in Xi'an would have been closest to modern day Min Nan. I'm not sure what other dialects pronounce tea as "cha", but modern day Mandarin originated with the Henan dialect during the Song dynasty with heavy influences from Mongolian in the Yuan dynasty and Manchurian in the Qing dynasty, and contains many sounds not present in any other indigenous Han dialects. Japan would have adopted tea long before. However, from what I know of the Japanese language, they have both archaic and modern pronunciations of many words, and perhaps their word for tea may be one of them with the modern form adopted much later.
You are assuming a compilation that results in high-level JavaScript code. As JavaScript is a Turing complete language, you can trivially compile any other programming language to target it, and we not only have done that a lot but even made it efficient using asm.js. All WASM is buying us is a more efficient encoding format that can be parsed more quickly than asm.js.

That's the "boss"'s or owner's problem (or prerogative). They saw something that they perceived was valuable to their business, and rewarded it accordingly. Whether that was through something fickle like "sucking up" or through valuable metrics. Again, it's up to the boss/owner to figure that out.

Yeah Haiku is definitely interesting and I'll take another look. I think the datatypes concept (originally from AmigaOS, and I assume also in Haiku?) is very powerful and mainstream operating systems haven't caught up yet. I am also interesting in questioning some core ideas such as file systems and processes (do we need them?), binary compilation and binding (can we maximize work in higher level language?) etc.
hadoop/cassandra are replicated to multiple nodes by the software. That's a terrible argument for not using any raid in regular setups.

This was pretty standard at the time - everything had a programmable DMA controller, which was capable of extensive data transforms, and often there had been some vector ALU stuffed in. The difference with modern arcs is that it was sitting in front of fixed function hardware. After you did whatever you wanted with the data it still went into the fixed function hardware and came out as pixels on the screen. You could have the same data pre-computed and fed to the GPU for the same result.

In modern architecture, there are programmable ALUs inside the fixed function hardware and its fixed functions are very limited, it's just triangle setup and color/depth buffer, usually. The GPU input is just a list of indices, which is transformed by the programmable processors inside.

Not common knowledge, though, in part because nuclear hazards have been painted in an exaggerated light by Hollywood (basically, no point in trying to survive, because everybody is going to die and what's going to be left is a 1,000-year lethal nuclear wasteland), and in part because we stopped worrying after the end of the Cold War.

Despite the goofy title, this is a remarkably good book from the 1960s, citing some actual science, that helps grasp the actual dangers and the survivability of nuclear attacks or accidents:
