I don't think most people want to organize to avoid doing job Y that they specifically agreed to do.

The opposite side of your logic, is that if you assume good faith on the side of the job taker, then the want to do the job that they signed up for, and is willing to do what it takes to make sure they are able to do that job in a safe, efficient, and non-soul crushing manner.

In addition, conditions can change from the initial agreement of employment. Lots of stuff about workplace environments are not fully captured in job contracts, and are so subject to change. You don't need to assume bad-faith from a person to understand why the might want to have a say in how things change. After all, they agreed to a job under a certain set of implied environments.

Companies do not have to function like democracies. However, companies that try to harness the moral and ethical motivation of their workers should always be aware of how to keep company actions and goals sufficiently aligned with those of their workers to be able to tap into that extra motivation.

This brings back a lot of memories. One of my proudest technical achievements was as an intern: an assignment to figure out how many unique emitters were in a field of data picked up by some antenna. The data was provided on a CD with not a lot of other info.

I ended up finding a program some college researcher had published for matching DNA patterns, and between a little data massaging and software hacking, I was amazed when results actually made sense.

As an intern, I never knew exactly who provided that CD or where the program went from there, but it was a fun problem to work on for a while.

High CRI LEDs might be what you’re looking for, if you don’t have them already (and unless you specifically looked for them, you probably don’t).
You probably want something that checks for similarly spelled words, maybe natural language processing, whole or partial word matching, indices on all this, etc.

If all you want is to grep your email, that's different, I think you can accomplish that with pine or other text mode email clients.

Indeed. Memory usage is a point I never addressed in my comment. When managing large Java applications, that is indeed one of the most important issues that one has to be aware of. Some runtimes tries to be more automatic than others, and there are books worth discussions to be had about that.

As for the second paragraph, thank you for clarifying that. I used poor terminology. I should probable have said pointer sharing, or copying.

For ownership transfer to be zero cost, the compiler have to be clever enough to figure out that the original reference isn't used after copy. This can be handled by the compiler itself, or be enforced by the language (as is the case with Rust, as far as I understand).
> I don't think intelligent people are better at predicting things

I never claimed such a thing. I meant predictive power when it comes to allocating resources, especially from the budget devoted to education. A dollar wasted on trying to educate a moron could be invested in military R&D.

Charisma? Do you mean Napoleon? Or von Bismarck? You don't need much charisma to make the French and the Germans kill each other. Who was the charismatic leader that made the Danes go to war with the Prussians?

With such a strange statement, you outed yourself as a non-European. No matter how many history books you read, some things you will never understand. In that regard, you are exactly like Moldbug. Just do not claim that Rousseau invented nationalism, please. My aged heart cannot take that much.

> Those same people who were later industrialized were just as intelligent during the hundreds of thousands of years of hunting-gathering.

You're implying that a hunter-gatherer society, an agricultural society and an industrialized society select for the same traits. And that the initial distributions were the same. Think Fokker-Planck. How likely is that? Zero probability, I would say.

The "definition" of the word doesn't coincide with the Hebrew meaning at all. In Hebrew the word refers to grain (and in modern Hebrew Oat grain.)

The definition comes from a story in the Tanach where the word is used. I believe Christians have appropriated this book of the Tanach, too. And this appropriation is what's reflected in English

> That's where intermittent fasting is crucial

Would you be able to use IF during a thru hike? I suspect that the answer is no. The weight gain problem for distance hikers is after the hike is finished and we reduce activity significantly. I've solved that by training for distance races when I'm not hiking.

Zach Bitter, the current 100 mile record holder, put it in a way that makes a lot of sense to me[0]. For a mere mortal, fasting for 6 hours puts you in the hole for about 700 kcal. A world class athlete like him is at more like a 2000+ kcal deficit. It's impossible to catch up once you get that far behind, and you end up losing weight and injuring yourself. I only burn about 800 kcal during training on an easy day, but I still find it nearly impossible to catch up if I miss a meal. I'm already eating 5x a day. It's hard to cram 5 full meals into a few hours.

Today, Jews who attend synagogue know the bible, because it's read, chapter by chapter, out loud, every Shabbat, Monday, and Thursday, and continuously studied in yearly and multi-year cycles. Yesterday, Jews everywhere heard the story of Esau and Jacob, read in Hebrew.

I don't think any Christian denomination does this, so unless you attend a specfic religious school you'll never learn the Christian bible (which includes parts appropriated from the Jews)

Well, I don't have very good experiences of XFS in the presence of system crashes; you are not alone to get irreparable FS. And even without crashes, the tooling is not very good.

And the thing is that even with uninterruptible UPS, you better handle crashes more gracefully than what XFS is apparently able to do, because e.g. kernel panics can occasionally happen.

So on my side, I'm moving from XFS to ext4. I'm not even sure this will be better, I'll see...

yutru here; I ran into Raste earlier on EU CTF and was wondering how that happened... now I know : )

Thanks for making this post Jan, I hope it brings some of the old timers out of hiatus and back into the game for a second inning. Had some great memories with them, like watching aimbot and bug, two players who knew one another from their Subspace days back in their teens, come together once again after all these years apart to carry the red flag to victory; detect and xyz aggressively spamming south entrance of blue base in preds giving me hell on defense; the whole bot-based shenanigans with blankspace dude; Dr.Pepper posting absolutely ginormous guides on how to play on our reddit then getting angry in the comments; sniper and his kid doing a father-son combo sweep of the map; that one epic 5-hour game last February when spy had to infitrate blue team to act as a decoy to finally end the ordeal and many, many more... the whole thing was a riot and a half. The past couple of years was roller-coaster ride personally but Airmash and the often lovely, sometimes crazy, players were the one constant in my life the entire time. You guys are fantastic.

Thanks to yourself, Bombita, Steamroller, gadgetoid and Nuppet for not only keeping the game alive in (nine|five)sigma's absence but even chaperoning it to a better place.

Shout out to Rockzone for being the first one to mentor me in the ways of Airmash. Miss you buddy. Also miss (North|South|Undead) Korea who taught me base defense... notice me sempai! Shout out to xplay and secvtor, my good friends who are still playing; please don't quit guys, the game will truly be dead for me then : ) Shout out to Moz (I see you working on Notable now, all the best mate :)), Apathy, Praise kek, Maximus, Azimuth, Banmeplz, Fallen, Memer, Benderovec and Marshan, you guys were good players and great company, hope you can swing by sometime. Last but not least, shout out to aimbot who spent an hour of his valuable time teaching me two things: 1. don't oversteer and 2. be orthogonal to missile path to evade. After two years of play I'm still nowhere as good as you'd expect me to be but my k/d has more than doubled from 0.8 to 2 and I'm doing better than ever.

> > and larger blades raise cut in speeds
> That is not necessarily true, it depends on the allowed degree of pitch ...

I think you are correcting a different matter here. Blade diameter in practice dominates the amount of power a which turbine can be designed to generate at lower windspeeds, aerodynamic design choices have to work with whatever diameter is provided. Increasing diameter involves significant expense and the entire reason it is payed is to raise cut in / raise generation at lower speeds / increase capacity factor.

> Suffice to say that wind power is generally installed for 20-30 year life-span

Not in recent years. 15 year contracts for windfarms are the current norm. I've read this often while following industry news and it can be observed from querying the different times [1]

> after that they become un-economical to operate both due to increased maintenance costs

Its not known to be the case that they'll become uneconomical. It may just be more economical to upgrade them, there is uncertainty involved which is the manufacturers bet.

Its a great commercial advantage of wind farms (and solar) that they can be relatively quickly online and make a profit on investment in 15 years rather than seeking 30 or 40 or 50 year supply contracts as some competing technologies do because of higher construction costs.

Definitely. I started writing React/Typescript this way, and it's been a pleasure. Each component is just a function, so composing components is just a data pipeline. If you have few, key data structures that you're working with, it makes reconfiguring that pipeline to fit product needs a while lot easier.

It also means you naturally end up with small, testable, generic components without having to think too hard about it. You've five the heavy lifting in the data structure, and whatever behavior you want flows naturally from that.

I don't feel you've actually read and understood my criticism.

The fact that the theory falls apart for discontinuous functions is just a visible symptom of the deeper problem that the author confuses a definition with a theorem. I don't think this is just theoretically wrong, it also makes no pedagogical sense. To say "we define the integral as being the difference of the antiderivative at the two endpoints, but we can also define it as the Riemann sum" doesn't tell the student anything except "mathematics is magic, don't even bother to understand it". Whereas to be genuine and say "we can prove that the integral can be expressed through the antiderivative (though we choose not to do this here)" doesn't treat the reader like an idiot.

I don't think it's impossible to provide an intuitive and non-proof-based account without sacrificing getting things right conceptually. In fact, I provided a template for doing so above.

The myopia comes from experience. Startups (which aren't solely B2B Healthcare) are more often doomed by lack of customers than by other factors.

Helium has way more important uses in cryogenic systems, neutron detectors, etc. It's non renewable, and alot of physicists are already concerned about increasing costs.

Creating massive and unnecessary demand for helium when there are renewable alternatives available is a bad idea.

So, of course my comment was tongue in cheek, but not completely. In order to get states to agree to unify, they had to give them incentive in representation. Remember that Germany is the size of a US state. It would be more akin to trying to unify all of west Europe as a country. Would Denmark join if they knew they'd get zero representation based of population?
