Huh??

I buy a house for $100k. I put $15k of solar panels on it. I go to sell it a year later, and sell it for $100k. That is what it means for solar panels not to add value - I just lost my $15k investment.

Incidentally, that appears to be the case for residential solar in CA. It doesn’t factor in appreciably to the price of a home.
I must say I prefer the RFC version - while still vulnerable to rotting from text changes, at least it should still link to the same general vicinity.

Yes, it does, and it also supports LaTeX formulae.
I use the term "absurd" not to make a legal argument, but to suggest that such an agreement is fundamentally devoid of any sensible meaning in the context of forming a contract. I'm no lawyer, but I suspect that the legal argument would boil down to the offer of a license being illusory [1].

I have come to the admittedly sad conclusion that you can't reside in the middle here. I mean, you can idealistically, but slope will slide to one side or the other in practice.

I don't see evidence that there is no middle ground here. Facebook and Google filter a lot of content. But that is filtering and not absolute control and there are significant other sources for those who want them.

State regulation would, however, produce a situation where everything remotely like a filter would be exposed to whatever regulation was implemented and that would in fact be a tremendous advantage for these same large players.
I agree with you on Google's monopoly but imagine if every browser has to go through proposal process to release any feature? Everything will just stagnate.

Browsers copy features from each other. If this is a useful feature, it would make its way to other browsers pretty soon.
Why is that hard to believe? More people may say they want to Malibu than Detroit but until they do it doesn't matter. I would love to have a Tesla but dreams don't count as demand.
They could fix this by having a second query string parameter, say, "targetInstance". Which would take the number of the instance. Indeed, things like this would have come to light sooner if they went through a more normal RFC process.
Chernobyl was a "military reactor", ie. could produce plutonium. Normal reactors don't even have the same failure mode possible. So you can blame the accident on the cold war or something, not nuclear in general.

It’s risk. You put in a $25k system, then the inverter blows and it’s useless to you until you spend $3k for a new one. That does happen, probably a few percent per year chance. If you don’t have $3k lying around, then you are one failure away from effectively losing $25k.
I'd say a bounded context is a better border. When doing REST you can then begin by implementing each of your aggregate roots within the context as a resource.
Window functions will always have a special place in my heart as one of the magic moments on StackExchange where I discovered something truly powerful. Many years ago I had been asked as a lowly developer to perform some sort of reasonably complex dimensional reshape on a SQL Server table. I was at a loss so I asked on DBA StackExchange for advice and I got a response providing a glorious 4 line window function that gave me exactly what I needed. It really made me excited about diving deeper into SQL and motivated me enough to become quite good at it. It’s ended up being one of the most invaluable skills to have learned during my engineering career.
Docker-lua 0.4.0 released
I think you're overstating the provenness of renewables. There's a lot of support infrastructure that hasn't been invented that is required to produce the roughly 3 terawatt average per day as well as the storage for the daily cycle.

I also think your overstating the risk involved in nuclear power. Even fukushima was pretty tame, and unlike Japan the USA has lots of relatively uninhabited real estate we can put the plants on.

Cost is one factor. Location is another. Reliability another. Risk another. Nuclear is a system of tradeoffs that is very hopeful for fighting emissions.

Of course this is all moot since even if the USA and Europe went to zero emissions, we won't make a dent in climate change. The developing world must be addressed with at least as much urgency as the West must be addressed.
This that you describe is essentially a Universal Turing Machine.
Amazon typically only runs "logistics" in each country and that turns out to barely make any money. The actual sales are made by their Luxembourg subsidiary ("Amazon Europe Core S.à r.l. (Société à responsabilité limitée, 38 Avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxemburgo)"), so they don't pay taxes in Spain, Italy, Germany etc.

LU is an obvious choice if you want to pay as little taxes as possible, so I doubt they pay a lot there. Still a good deal for LU - they get some taxes at the expense of their larger neighbors. A parasitic business model, but a successful one nonetheless.

I hope the future is one where you can pack up your social profile and move it to another service provider, or host it yourself. All without any of your contacts, friends and associates knowing or caring which service provider or host your profile is on.

Just like telcos are now. Keep your phone number and move to another provider.

The problem that gRPC solves for you is versioning your messages between your services.

As your json payloads evolve, you're going to encounter pain trying to keep your services in sync, whether it comes in the form of writing parsing code to crack open payloads and do conditional error checking based on the version (and expected fields), or whether it comes operationally in how you actually deploy updates to running services.
They include maintenance in the lease contract. Also, they are closely monitoring the output and will probably notice before you do if there’s a problem.
In a course on algorithms I took in Moscow State Uni (Russia), we were told there are two ways to describe a Turing machine:

- One with a tape & state transition table
- A string & a list of string replacements

Then we proved this two definitions being equal.

And programmed for each ‘system’ a little. I must admit, programming with ‘string replacements’ is much much more fun than doing ‘tape & table’.

Is this just some Russian quirk or the same in the West CS courses, too?

This whole thing is messy and fragile by its very nature. I'd argue that if you have to get as fancy as linking to the second instance of a string, then your odds of the link going to the right place later are not that great anyway. So it might not be worth even trying to solve that problem.
Yeah. That is some fuckin perved out shit. And, you know, the people who think shit like this is normal or reasonable just need to stay the fuck away from children of any age.

That a person would toe the line, isn’t a reason to ruin their lives.

Genres of video, such as this, could be eradicated and most people would be happier to have never seen it.

I hate it when I wind up clicking my way deeper and deeper into odd corners where freakish spectacles lurk, after a marathon of internet surfing. But there’s a new freak show uncovering boundaries that we were unaware of yesterday, and it’s happening each week, with something new.

The norms of the 20th century barely exist anymore. And some harm has come of this. And when it’s not in the expected places, we have no script to read aloud and guide us.

The bullshit artistry is knowingly thick in this instance. What’s the worst part? The people consuming the videos, or the enablers handling the production of them?

I think one take away from stories like this is that, with new technology and the alterations to the social landscape that it brings, we can create precise greyscale of infinite dimensions and gradation, that we never get a chance at black or white smoking gun decision making, and we might forever be confused, in a fog or haze or mist of nonsense.

So, what’s next? We probably just need to bring the axe down when it feels good and not think twice. It’s just gonna be a messy, ragged edge sometimes.

In this case? No one needs to be treated like a criminal, and it’s hard to justify silencing weirdness, since it stifles the vibrance of any community, and yet... I’d not shed one tear at the loss of something as sacharine and disingenuous as this.
I have Bash scripts that still run (all of them). Meanwhile I’ve had PHP deprecate functions I was using, I’ve had Python rewrite the requests library and break working 3.X scripts after an apt-get update, and node.js seems to change so fast and require so many dependencies that it’s much less likely to be maintainance-free. Bash is still my favorite scripting and automation language.

Beware of arguments like "had it been free software, it couldn't have been monetized it as it was": this reasonning presupposed a fixed set of business models, and doesn't account for the emergence of new ones (e.g online games with subscription, "free-to-play" games, etc.).

Their employees still pay tax though. With tech wages as high as they are it is probably non-trivial amounts.

Ask HN: Is anyone struggling with their browsers?
I am using a 5 year old laptop mostly with 8 Gigs of RAM, 2.5 GHz midrange i5 of that time.

I run Win7/Ubuntu duel boot, and lately I am always going out of memory within a few tabs (around 6) in latest Firefox, Chrome, Chromium and other WebKit/Gecko clones..

When I am not browsing, I routinely do beefy C++ compilations in VS, and huge blender builds, all of which happen seamlessly.

The browsing experiance is kinda shitty nowadays, with constant hangups and reboots across the OSs

In the process view, I see a lot of processes being spawned with the same title, each consuming around 700,000K of working memory? Thats a lot per process

Is anyone having similar problems?
Rephrasing your point: By damaging some other people more than it damages you, the system may hand you a relative advantage over people who are hit more badly than you, even as it hurts you in absolute terms.

This is not a compelling argument that the system has any value. "Sure, it's destroying value at our company, but that's fine because it's destroying even more value across the street!"
> Then as stated in the article, only work on the side project for an hour a day over 365 days. Time is on your side and it's OK if it takes a year to get to an MVP. Look at Stardew Valley, for example.

That's actually not true. According to the GQ interview:

"It took him four and a half years to design, program, animate, draw, compose, record, and write everything in the game, working 12-hour days, seven days a week."

Stardew Valley is the antithesis to the article. Eric Barone worked full time on the game while his girlfriend supported him.

https://www.gq.com/story/stardew-valley-eric-barone-profile

imo if you're programming, it'll take a lot longer to finish anything if you're only doing it in 1 hour daily increments vs a few hours in a single day a week. Flow is important. That's not counting the mental stamina that's been drained by the day job.

The other scenario that can happen is that your performance at your day job will suffer, if you continue programming after your typical 10-14 hour programmer work shift.

Norwegian agreement law § 36:

An agreement may be wholly or partly set aside or amended to the extent that it would seem unreasonable or contrary to good business practice to make it applicable. The same applies to unilateral binding dispositions.

The decision takes into account not only the content of the agreement, the parties' position and the circumstances of the agreement's conclusion, but also to the subsequent circumstances and the circumstances in general.

The rules in the first and second paragraphs apply correspondingly when it would seem unreasonable to make the current commercial use or other contractual custom.
RISC-V has a base ISA and many extensions, several of which are virtually required to run a "real" OS with features such as virtual memory. Every build of Linux I've seen for RISC-V is for an RVGC processor with an additional privileged mode.

Theoretically it should be possible to run "Linux" on a glorified microcontroller like the OP with μClinux, but I haven't seen that used for "real" work. It certainly couldn't be used as a general purpose OS.
Australian law, though it's not one law -- each new kind of secret warrant-like capability has wording to the effect of "disclosure of the existence or nonexistence of a [secret warrant] is an offense punishable by $x years imprisonment."

Extreme skeumorphism a la Mac sometime ago is also undesirable, though. You want them to look just close enough to trigger recognition, everything above that is cognitive overhead.
I honestly think they fall into one of 2 camps:

1) They don't believe in anthropocentric climate change (probably deflecting by taking this stance)

2) They don't believe the economic destructive power of climate change. Be that by disbelief, thinking it is over stated, or just not being good at thinking about the future (which a lot of humans aren't. We're terrible at it)

I think the closer you are to the actual killing of animals, the more you tend to revere them, if anything.

As someone who has recently joined that club, I agree. I have been hunting for years but this year I killed my first deer. The whole process changed something inside of me.

Because of my actions, this gentle creature went from breathing, living and doing whatever it wanted to being food.

While I was aiming my shot, she turned her head towards me and looked at me. I can clearly remember seeing her blink.

I put the arrow through her heart and lungs. I dragged her out of the woods. I gutted her and hung her up. I packed her body in ice.

These were things that I had seen done before but never did myself.

As I was field dressing the body, I looked at her and apologized, then I thanked her for providing healthy meat to feed my family.

In my mind, it changed venison from butcher paper wrapped meat that was leaner than beef into the flesh of an animal that was killed.

I don't know what she thought but I think she was, on some level, self aware.
This is true, but rapidly changing. In addition to fine tuneable language models, you can do deep feature extraction with something like bert-as-service [0] ... You can even fine tune Bert on your days, then use the fine tuned model as a feature extractor.

Has the Delphi language evolved - i.e. does it use new ideas and has it dropped old ones? Or is that language substantially the same?

Also, why would anyone use Delphi today except for legacy maintenance?
I count 17,800 cases where someone accomplished the same thing by typing 3 letters.

I've done this many times myself, and I hope nobody was counting those as a feature request.
FPC is far better at it, though, given how many platforms and architectures it supports.
Yes, I still remember the emotions I had when I accidentally saw the screenshot of BCB. It was a relieve that I won't need to use that ugly language for RAD GUI dev. I've uninstalled Delphi right away :)

One big reason I didn’t go with Solar City is that they install DC systems, where all of the panels are wired in series DC down to a big monolithic inverter. With such a system, shading is a problem, as you mention - one shaded panel will cut current for the whole string. You are also lucky that the plumber didn’t kill himself or burn down your house - DC systems often run hundreds of volts, and DC can sustain an arc with as little as 80V (http://www.acsolarwarehouse.com/news/solar-fires-dc-arc-faul...).

AC systems have micro-inverters for each panel or panel cluster, so DC is never transmitted over large distances or at high voltage. Because each panel is independent, shading only affects the output of the shaded panel. You can also replace damaged panels or add to the system later without having to match the characteristics of the existing panels.
You make it sound like the city has a throughput of X new jobs per year that it allows to be created. There is no such limit. Without Amazon it's necessarily 25K fewer jobs than there would have been with Amazon.
Xojo is worth a look. It has the RAD visual form designer approach of Delphi, is a Basic-like language (it used to be called REALbasic & pitched itself as cross-platform Visual Basic), and makes Windows, Mac, Linux & Raspberry Pi binaries. It can also build for iOS, some weird Web deployment that I've never tried, and Android is in the works. There's a plugin architecture like Delphi had & ways to drop down to native APIs if something isn't supported.

The IDE is best on Mac though. The Windows IDE works, but it feels like the developers are probably all on Macs & not really dogfooding the Windows version as much.

Of course, and they are also the one of the most expensive regions :).
The thing is that deciding how to regulate social media is extremely difficult. So someone arguing for such regulation can't begin by saying what they want. They have to take a broad "it should be regulated" "look how terrible, can't we DO SOMETHING??" sort of approach. Then argue regulation isn't bad by looking at different examples.

Only once there's a huge ground swell can specific proposals be laid down.

But all this is makes it sound like a giant power grab. And yes, that's what I'd call it. Not because all regulation is bad but because this particular thing is far outside the purview of the Federal Government.
In my opinion the line to draw is support for a privileged mode/protection rings/memory protection. Anything without that can run μClinux at best, which isn't much better than an RTOS. Without process isolation an operating system isn't very "general purpose."
I think you are referring to the author plugging his product at the end? Other than that, I see it as a valuable -- and valid! -- article.
