> What happens to plant and animal life if we raise the river temperature?

The entire ecosystem changes, possibly hosting invasives / foreign species and killing the native ones (or becoming inhabitable).

That is why — in france at least but probably not solely — there are pretty strict limits on the allowable difference between input and output water temperatures.
Oh no, that wasn't at all what I meant. I just wanted to mention another tool, that can reduce issues with your production code. Rollbacks need to be there in any case.
Surprisingly good for a Quanta Magazine article.
No it's an engineering problem, these plants were designed without cooling towers because it was assumed the direct cooling using river water would be sufficient in all but the rarest cases.

The best thing you can do, if you find yourself replacing whole teams of people due to your experience , is to start your own company or be the CTO of a company.

That sucks though, it's high risk, low reward. The safer bet is to just be a manager.

I would suggest it's because phone number is (should be) device specific, while AppleID's can be shared across devices. But now that I think about it, does anyone know if AirDrop works with iDevices that don't have a SIM? Such as the iPod Touch?

The BBC story reminded me of Al Gore's 2006 prediction that stated unless nations took “drastic measures” then the Earth "would reach a point of no return within 10 years."[1]

It's weird how the deadline for point of no return is being pushed ahead every few years.

Unfortunately that’s not possible, v6 has plenty of address space so you can carve a /96 out of your network to implement a transition layer so clients can be v6-only before the larger internet. There’s no way to represent the v6 network in 32-bit v4 addresses, so you have to start getting clients to v6 first.

Large boolean decision functions often arise in implementing logical circuits and compilers. I'm not an expert, but I imagine having an upper bound on relations between sensitivity and other metrics may yield insights into optimizations here. Since these problems are often intractable due to NP-completeness, any bounding functions that can offer heuristics can lead to more daring optimizations

> You confuse trade war with censorship.

Indeed, but it's not for lack of trying.

> exclusion is based on the content

The pretext the speech falls short of inclusion in the category of "protected speech" because a different common thread can be drawn across its particulars is simply not convincing.

Censoring speech in the basis of nationality instead of content doesn't making the underlying expression any less censored.
RPS is not a game of chance. Outcomes of games are determined not by a random process, but by the choices of the players.

If the players rolled dice and biggest roll wins, that's a game of chance. The dice can't pick how they're thrown, nor can the throwers influence the outcome. If either of those two things change, the game is no longer purely one of chance.

The game can be set up in many ways that invite strategy. If they set up a camera and watched the human playing out the moves physically, that lets the algorithm read the person's patterns the way a human might read someone's poker tell.

The US and Taiwan don't have military alliance. The Taiwan Relations Act is carefully worded to avoid any commitment and maintain strategic ambiguity and keep both sides in check. The strategic interest of the US is limited in terms of the cost of defending Taiwan.

The article and many articles like it fail to explain the big picture. The US has indirect way to counter Chinese aggression. Sea blockade from distance where the US has military advantage would cut almost all sea traffic to China and isolate it from the world economy. Chinese are well aware of their position as a logistic cul-de-sac. The Belt and Road Initiative can be seen as long term strategic plan to go around this problem. It loses money but Chinese need it to work so they do it anyway.

Like you I began going bald before the age of 20. I was teased a bit in highschool but nothing that I let get to me enough to leave scars. I don’t know how old you are but until my late 20’s I’d wear a hat and preferred social scenes where it was appropriate. By the time I hit my mid 30’s I was more comfortable. Now in my 40’s it’s a non-issue. Meanwhile, friends of mine who began thinning in their 30’s are still fretting about it. I wonder if they’ll be comfortable by their the time they hit 50.

Reasons I chose to go with a shaved head:

My dad wore a toupee and nobody was allowed over after dad took it off (he’d take it off immediately after work, apparently they’re not very comfortable). My uncle tried every new cream/lotion that came on the market and was obsessed (he died of brain cancer at age 62 btw). My grandfather, was just bald. Of the three my grandfather was the most confident and comfortable in his on skin.

I’m not telling you to just get over it, it’s demoralizing when you’re young. I just hope that with time you’ll become more comfortable with yourself. My wife and previous girlfriends never had a problem with it as many women don’t. At this point she tells me what length I should keep it and I just go with that.

True but most of the research is around how to safely handle liquid cargoes.

What the article talks about is 2-phase cargoes, cargoes which are expected to behave as solids but could turn to liquid under certain unpredictable conditions.

While the thesis of your argument is valid (based on US healthcare and their sentiment), your argument is, most likely, flawed.

The premise is that a “cure” is a one time expense, hence why it’s less appealing than managing symptoms. However, in this particular case, I believe the cure will be similar to ED solutions: continued stream of income.

Per the article, the amount of work to replace hair is costly. In addition, it requires follow ups and maintenance. Hence, between the multi-stage process and maintenance procedures, it will be a goldmine.

In the future, a solution for baldness will, most likely, resemble skincare products or vision correction.
In addition to others points on this, public companies release a guidance, which in concert with analysts' own predictions of growth, is priced in.

There are some fairly strong cross-platform network effects between office software, because of file formats. If you had MS Word on the PC and wanted to send documents to a friend who had MS Word on the Mac - well, there were minor issues around disk formats, line terminators, and file transfer protocols, but generally if you had e-mail you could send them a .doc. If you had Lotus 1-2-3 on your Mac and wanted to send files to colleagues with Excel on the PC, you were screwed. (The major software manufacturers did end up reverse-engineering each others' formats by the late 90s, but by then Office had already won.)

If Microsoft had an edge on Windows, which was the majority of computers, then that would translate into inconvenience trying to use any non-MS product on Macs, unless everybody you dealt with used Macs.

But where is the proof that the reason we're averse to baldness is because of social construction?

C++ is the obvious benchmark language because it's widespread and has the same benefits (manual memory management, native, high control).

High reliability, static checked any language requires you to write code a certain way. C++ is just the most prominent and meaningful example here.

ADA would be another good comparison, but I haven't worked with it on large projects so I can't say much about compile speed. It has a lot of similarities in being a safer C++. It felt similarly restrictive to Rust though.

I think the fact of the matter is that it you want safety you need some kind of restrictions and your compiler needs to do some extra work (ADA and Rust) or you need to look at the whole toolchain that o of necessary to achieve safety (in C++ this is very long if you run your tests with Static analyzers, ASan and Msan, too which remove some of the bugs Rust tells you about).
No. Imagine a coin flip where you earn $1.1 on head and lose $1 on tail. What is the value of such a flip? $0.05

Having been a Senior IC and a Manager at a couple of big companies, I agree that that promotion is probably easier as a manager, but I worked with orgs/teams that had multiple senior staff/director-level ICs, but only 1 senior manager, director, etc. M1->M2 is possible managing a single team, but often M3 isn't. As long as the senior manager/director is there, you're not going to get promoted.

On the other hand, I've worked hard to get IC's on my teams promoted up and out of my team because good directors rely on their Sr. Staff/Prinicpal engineers so there's room for them to grow (even if it's difficult).

It would only be complete bullshit if the Ukrainian SSR wasn't a part of the USSR. Since it was, point 3 is completely true.
It also means less job security should one find oneself out of a job for whatever reason. A company needs about 1 manager per 8-10 ICs, and 1 second level manager per 8-10 team managers. Logically, that means there should be about 10% as many first level manager positions as IC positions, and about 1% as many second level positions as IC positions.

> It seems like the US has become what the USSR was: companies who publish speech from people in Iran or Crimea are now violating the law by doing so.

US courts, at least the Supreme Court, have admitted they do not have the expertise to rule on changes of technology. When the courts realize that GitHub is primary the modern equivalent of a printing press for software code and websites. They will view such sanctions - at least for public code, issues, & websites - quite harshly.

Right now, I imagine they view it as a store for the digital equivalent of tools or an advanced technological service that the US has denied it's enemies in the past. Once they realize the communicative aspects: opening issues (coordination), contributing copyrightable expressions in code, even coordinating employment dissent (996), such views will change.

IIRC from when I did metal work, that's mostly because the Japanese vendors deliver more machines per year.

German manufacturers generally don't make that many machines, one because they're used for a LONG time (I learned milling on a machine from the 60s in 2015), two because they are complicated to build. You can't easily order 100 high quality mills from a german shop.
My experience at most tech companies (Amazon, Google, etc), to become a manager you need to demonstrate that you have the technical ability to perform at senior(ish) level IC before you become a manager. i.e. You go from L5 IC to L5 Manager. Not L3/L4 IC to L5 manager.
This seems like it’s more a free press issue than free speech. Through its trade policy, the US government has restricted GitHub, a US company, from publishing certain material (the tkashin.tk website).

Trade policy can reasonably apply to some of GitHub’s services, certainly, but I don’t see how a trade embargo that prevents a publisher from (virtually) printing some material passes Constitutional muster.

At secondary school, probably around 1998 or so, there was a Windows desktop program called, I think, "Creatures".

...and I've actually found it, via a 2001 book for school science teachers [1], which leads to archive.org [2] which even has the .exe to download.

Before we had internet access on every computer, this was one of the more fun things to play with on the school computers.

You can see it's possible to adjust the sunlight, grass death rate, fox hunting ability, rabbit death rate and fox death rate. The "Disasters" menu had things like "Meteorite blocks sunlight" or "virus spreads through foxes"; these were often fatal unless the parameters were perfect.

> Arcology, a portmanteau of "architecture" and "ecology", is a field of creating architectural design principles for very densely populated, ecologically low-impact human habitats.

> giving up on many desirable features of software projects

Some C++ libraries are header only because they were designed for highest performance possible.

Classic example is std::sort versus qsort, C++ usually wins because inlining.

My favorite example is Eigen, they use template metaprogramming to save RAM traffic. When you write x=a+b+c for matrices or vectors, the library doesn't compute a+b intermediate vector. That C++ expression returns a placeholder object of a weird type, CPU computes a+b+c in a single loop over them, reading a,b,c, and writing to x.
