One needs to factor in all costs associated with a source of energy, including environmental impact and health costs, which make coal more expensive than other sources. If population lives in a highly polluted area or country that means more health issues and less productivity, more costs for health care and less money to spend on goods and services.

How many voters know who the Secretary of State is? How many voters know who their local congress critter is? I guarantee the numbers are similarly dismal.
I don’t think we need to get cheaper, rather that we need to continue to scale up production of PV/wind and batteries. Even with current cost of batteries we can eliminate 100% of coal while saving money; doing so will reduce energy costs enough to eliminate fuel oil, which in turn will reduce the cost enough to eliminate gas.
In Japan there's a trend to use phone numbers as domain names, probably for this very reason.
He is pro-coal to the the extent that coal is an identity politics issue for a sizeable portion of his base, and like them he doesn't consider the environmental and societal costs of coal mining and burning to outweigh the benefits of cheap coal power. He is backed in this by the considerable political influence of the fossil fuel industry.
I don't want one of the few gadgets I buy every four years legislated into an impossible form factor by environmental concerns. It seems like the most unfair implementation compared to, say, raising the price of things to price in externalities.

For example, why is it one of my most cherished possessions, a single pair of bluetooth headphones, paying a penalty while my roommate gets 3-5 Amazon shipments a day to our house for free and eats cheap meat with every meal if we actually care about the environmental impact of things? We need to be more creative than crafting legislation for individual scapegoat products and consumer-blaming.
Sure, most Bluetooth chips CAN decode most codecs... but it's a matter of power efficiency. If you're trying to make things as efficient as possible, you don't want something that can decode a bunch of different codecs. More specialized means it should be more efficient.

Yes, but while in political terms the Gauls, Romans and Franks were distinct entities, in cultural terms the region was more of a melting pot. The Roman conquest of Gaul ended up blending their two cultures into a new, distinctive "Gallo-Roman" culture (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallo-Roman_culture), for instance, and then when the Franks came along their culture got blended in as well. So modern French identity has strains in it running back to all three sources.

I'm the same as you, although I believe most people are not like us. In fact, I find visual input so distracting that when I'm on a conference call and we're talking about something very complex, I actually close my eyes to listen/concentrate even better. This technique felt like magic when I first discovered it and it still does every time I use it now. Unfortunately, this method isn't socially acceptable in face to face interactions. :)

But, I know my wife does not learn well this way. I also help my kids with their homework every night and I've tried this method with them when they don't understand something -- it doesn't work well for them either. Everybody does learn differently and I wish I learned how I learn best while I was actually in College; I probably could have saved myself a lot of time by not taking notes at all.

I hope there is now, but at least when I transitioned from high school to college, there weren't any simple resources to prepare me for the workstyle adjustments that I should have made. So, I appreciate this article at least in the sense that it is trying to offer students a framework for success. That said, I wish it offered some alternative suggestions for those who can't write notes and "listen" at the same time.

I believe RSUs give your employer some friendly tax consequences. Aren’t they allowed to be written off?

IMO people allocating RSUs are no safer than an engineer. They can easily get replaced. As a matter of fact, leadership can change directions at any time and now put you in a position where you’re miserable every day.

I see the two have perhaps some correlation but because you’ve been given a decent grant doesn’t guarantee job security. Too many other factors involved.
It can be helpful to have a structured system of note-taking that you can modify so that it's customized to your needs and becomes most effective for how you learn.
my initial reaction is that it's a hefty price to pay for a lightly modded x230, but not everyone wants or is able to do these mods themselves.

I'm surprised nobody is going so far as to do the other common mods (1920x1080 IPS, x220 keyboard swap, make the X220 keyboard have all its native functionality, whitelist mods, i7/16gb config) to offer the fully hotrodded ultimate form. Having done them myself and seeing the amount of work, maybe the market isn't such that they would sell at a price that makes sense for the seller.

It's not at all like that. Missouri is irrelevant to international politics. (don't tell the farmers that though)

In my experience (on both sides of the lectern) there is even more value in taking a few before the lecture.

With typical lecture structure, you get a little review tying in the last subject(s), a little bookkeeping/admin (next week we will...) and then a new topic or topics, followed by some synthesis.

If you've had a quick look at the new topic already, you'll know where your understanding is good and where it isn't. You can pay attention to the right bits, and ask questions if needed.

Review afterward is very useful, but probably more topic-by-topic not lecture-by-lecture. After the lecture you add that material to your ongoing review.

Yes, this is right - there is what is essentially a fully-functional "garbage collector" but its only job is to detect leaks in debug builds. Well, it also is used for detecting illegal memory layout changes during hot code changes...

One may say "then why not just make the GC optional like D", but when you design a library you really need to either design it for a GC or for manual memory management. Even for the basic string type - if Beef was a GC'd language then String would be immutable, but it's not so String is mutable. Totally different designs.

Clearly. So many also pointing right in the middle of the US, Brazil and Australia.

I’m not sure if the poll was portrayed to be serious.

Also, as someone who was in the US for quite some time, I found that (very much contrary to national stereotypes), Americans were quite knowledgeable about geography and global current affairs. This was evident from the multicultural societies where people knew about their friends, social meetups talking about a lot of different subjects across the world, etc. I refuse to believe that most people are bad at pointing out roughly where different countries are, unless they are countries which genuinely aren’t very well known.
No, it's not.

> Do I use Thread, Runnable, Executor, ExecutorService, or CompletableFutures

It depends on what you need. Executor is an interface, so you can't use that directly, you have to use one of its implementations (like ExecutorService).

CompletableFuture is what you use when you want to handle the return type of a given function or method call. I've come across so much golang code where a function that returns an error is invoked with "go foo()", and the error is ignored.

The thing is, when you use golang, you have to re-write all these abstractions yourself anyway. Want to have a function execute in the background then you wait on the value? You have to pass in a channel and wait on it. What if it now returns an error? You have to pass in two channels now, or return a composite struct. In Java, you'd use a CompletableFuture and be done.

Semaphores are similar to WaitGroup in golang (but with more use cases obviously).

You get much more control, as well as writing code with a clear intent when you use its concurrency abstractions. In golang, you're writing much lower level code that you have to dig in to understand what's going on.

Not to mention that in golang it's difficult to provide anything that comes close to what's in the java.util.concurrent package, mainly due to the lack of generics.

The first thing I noticed about the previous article was how truly terrible the numbers were on that article. Everything from the assumed ASP of the iPhone to the total sales were complete nonsense, end easily verifiable as such. Neil Cybart is pretty biased towards Apple, but his numbers game has always been spot on and he's completely correct here.

One of the big problems with the modern web is how quickly mis-information get amplified and how corrections get muffled.

Start low, increase steadily to meet emissions targets.

Canada recently introduced a carbon tax at the federal level (for provinces that did not price carbon themselves), and returns 90% back to those province's taxpayers via tax credits. This makes it a progressive tax; if you lived an emissions-free lifestyle you'd just get free money, if you're around average the rebate would offset the carbon tax, if you're a high consumer you pay more.
Have you looked at the patents in question? Here they are: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. 1,2,4, and 5 are absurdly broad, obvious, almost certainly were preceded by basic networking functions, and should not have been granted in the first place. The third is possibly novel so I'll grant them that. This whole case is a great example of the ridiculousness of software patents in the modern USPTO system.

If you know what Colab's definition of abusive or disallowed use is (or even whether they have such a definition), please let me know. This isn't meant as a gotcha -- I actually haven't been able to find a full TOS or anything like that, despite looking for one at the outset and then again while writing the linked post. If it exists I want to know.

As I said in the post, the closest thing I can find is the FAQ at https://research.google.com/colaboratory/faq.html (this may be what you're thinking of -- there is no "initial setup process," anyone logged in to a Google account can immediately connect to a runtime and execute notebook cells). It says the following:

Why are hardware resources such as T4 GPUs not available to me?

The best available hardware is prioritized for users who use Colaboratory interactively rather than for long-running computations. Users who use Colaboratory for long-running computations may be temporarily restricted in the type of hardware made available to them, and/or the duration that the hardware can be used for. We encourage users with high computational needs to use Colaboratory’s UI with a local runtime.
Please note that using Colaboratory for cryptocurrency mining is disallowed entirely, and may result in being banned from using Colab altogether.

To me, this doesn't sound like "please don't use this wrong or too much, and we assume you know what 'wrong' and 'too much' mean here." Consider how this is written as an answer to a hypothetical user who has already been "temporarily restricted" and is looking for more info. They talk about this restriction non-judgmentally, like it's a practical limitation of their tool anyone might run into, not a moral line that "good" users will never cross anyway.

(The part about cryptocurrency mining is different and perfectly understandable, given the distinctive moral and perhaps legal facts of that subject.)

See also my post https://nostalgebraist.tumblr.com/post/190114849409/cloud-ca... for more thoughts on the subject. The screenshot there is from the 2017 conference talk https://gojko.net/2017/10/05/serverless-design-gotocph.html which happily discusses unintended but economically rational use of AWS products, like using IOT Gateway for non-IOT purposes where its pricing model is convenient.

This might be a good use case for a RasPi for web browsing. If it gets taken, you have not lost much money. You could PXE boot and have the OS run from ram, so you don't even need a hard drive. It really should not use much power. The PXE boot device could just be a generic cheap consumer NAS. If you need to save a file, just https post or sftp it to the cloud somewhere.
Looking at the list of nuclear reactors in Germany Wikipedia has, while there are quite a few they don't seem to be very "good". There are disparate classes with little commonality and nothing in operation that has been built after ~1990.

A far cry for the massive french nuclear power program, which managed to achieve large cost benefits by deciding on a single reactor type and then deploying at a large scale, with only incremental updates in later generations.

In this light their decision to shutdown seems a little less insane, still could be bad to loose all the related knowledge and industry as a result, which might make deployment of new reactors in the future hard.
My solution to this has been symlinks. All the media files I download maintain their original names and structures so they can continue seeding, and I maintain a separate folder structure that complies with Jellyfin's naming conventions. All the files are just symlinked so they don't take up any additional space, and I have a couple small scripts to check for missing/broken links.
Hm, are you comparing a state of 6 million people with a country of 83 million that has existed for thousands of years?

US states are like Chinese provinces. We know about our states, they know about their provinces and we both know a little bit about the countries we have ties to. US and Europe and the Americas, China and East Asia/pac rim and a bit of Africa.

Basically, smaller countries study more about their surroundings more and bigger countries have more internal stuff to learn.
The code might be brilliant but the biggest obstacle to adoption is probably the name and the logo.

All I can think is "beef begins to smell after a couple of weeks" and it's hard to overlook that mental imagery when evaluating the vast array of good options in the programming language space.

It may also be considered culturally insensitive to a noticeable percentage of software engineers, which could hurt the adoption rate.
I would love to see this list expanded to at least provide a choice in each category of moderate, intermediate, and overnight. That said, it's a great conversation starter.
Having lived in coal mining country, and visited a coal mine, I'm not. Methane and other gasses that leak during coal mining are carefully monitored and tracked because they're a hazard not only to the safety of the miners, but to the entire operation.

An explosion can kill dozens, destroy the mine, and leave it burning for decades.

But I will state that I'm an outsider in this field, and I suspect you are, too. Perhaps someone with direct knowledge can comment more authoritatively.

Yes, OSX and iOS both perform better than Android when it comes to round-trip latency. Core Audio in general was a real godsend to audio folks for many years, and was a compelling reason to stay in the Apple ecosystem.

That relationship and trust has soured considerably since then, but until there's a new "Apple" in town for audio folks, I don't invision ship-hopping for quite a while. It is an utter disgrace getting Windows 10 to work well as a studio PC, and most audio engineers simply won't or can't use the vastly superior FOSS pro audio software out there today.

To your point, even a coal-burning cooking stove is better than a wood-burning cooking stove.

To wit, some months of the year the very worst air quality in the world is in Coyhaique, Chile due to their geography & use of green wood for heating & cooking.

The subtitle in the article you link is exactly my point. At the moment, we are just now getting better at tracking methane leaks. No one knows for sure how much is leaked from the infrastructure. It may easily be just as bad or worse than coal, and is absolutely "roughly" as bad as coal.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/12/climate/texas...

Take the average IPCC meta-analysis numbers [1] at face value: 820 gCO2-eq/kWh for coal, 490 for gas. Those are both extraordinarily high. This is because they both combust carbon in the presence of oxygen to form energy and CO2. They're both very high-carbon fuel sources. If we are trying to reduce carbon emissions, we need to build things that do not combine C + O2 to make CO2 + energy. Options with less than 50g CO2-eq/kWh (in decreasing order of emissions) include solar (41), geothermal (38), hydro (24), tidal (17), nuclear (12), and wind (11).

[1] https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/2018/02/ipcc_wg3_ar5...

Given this situation it makes no sense to switch from coal to gas for the sake of the climate. Both endpoints have wholly unacceptably high carbon. If you build a bunch of $2B shiny new gas facilities, as we are doing today, utilities will want to run them for decades. And gas companies are portraying themselves as climate heros, and people are believing them because emissions are going down (again, towards an unacceptable final destination). To me it seems crazy.

> Which have been made obsolete by smartphone manufacturers (namely Apple) by eliminating the headphone jack.

People love to claim this, but I'm sorry. I have lightening wired ear buds that came with my iPhone 11. I would never use them. The wires absolutely destroy the usability of ear buds. They constantly snag on things, they're always in a knot, etc. Dealing with the wire-management is a cognitive load that's just super irritating. Not to mention when I used to try to fall asleep listening to a podcast using wired ear buds. Waking up with the cord wound around your neck is, again, super annoying.

In contrast, the wireless AirPods just make using them pleasant. It's a joy to not have to think about the wires, especially after years have being scarred by them.
