Wind turbines kill animals cats don’t. You think a cat is going to kill a golden eagle, a vulture or a stork? Different animals have very different generation times and life cycles. Wind power kills fewer animals per KWH than coal but it kills different ones and that matters.

> Fatalities at wind turbines may threaten population viability of a migratory bat

> Large numbers of migratory bats are killed every year at wind energy facilities. However, population-level impacts are unknown as we lack basic demographic information about these species. We investigated whether fatalities at wind turbines could impact population viability of migratory bats, focusing on the hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus), the species most frequently killed by turbines in North America. Using expert elicitation and population projection models, we show that mortality from wind turbines may drastically reduce population size and increase the risk of extinction. For example, the hoary bat population could decline by as much as 90% in the next 50 years if the initial population size is near 2.5 million bats and annual population growth rate is similar to rates estimated for other bat species (λ = 1.01). Our results suggest that wind energy development may pose a substantial threat to migratory bats in North America. If viable populations are to be sustained, conservation measures to reduce mortality from turbine collisions likely need to be initiated soon. Our findings inform policy decisions regarding preventing or mitigating impacts of energy infrastructure development on wildlife.
> And can a guy who owns a few dozen stores compete with chains that own hundreds?

Of course. Not in absolute terms (that's impossible), but on quality terms it is certainly possible.

Compare fast-food franchises where the chain actually evaluates their franchisees with rigorous detail like McDonald's to gas station franchises where the only thing the franchise provider is caring about is that the oil is sourced from them... it's relatively easy to provide a difference in quality as a franchisee simply by providing a decent experience for the consumers.

It's the little things that matter - is the toilet back in a shed full of graffiti, cold, or one of these ugly vandalism-resistent all metal things, or is it in the proper store, clean, brightly-lit and with proper toilet paper instead of 1-ply crap? Is the ground spotty all over the place from gas/oil residue and dirt, or is it cleaned regularly? Windows and other surfaces shining or full of dirt layers that haven't seen a scrub in decades?

All of this can be done by a single small store owner who cares about details compared to a corporate-run effort where everyone just cares that their paycheck arrives and the stores make a specific profit margin target.

Excerpt:

"The £17m Library Storage Facility, which will be officially opened today (June 27) by Councillor Mike Rouse, the Mayor of Ely, as well as Cambridge University Librarian Dr Jessica Gardner, has been built to provide a perfect, climate-controlled environment across 65 miles of shelving (the distance between Cambridge and the Houses of Parliament) for its least-requested books – those deemed ‘low-use’.

Each row of shelving reaches a height of 11.5 metres, around the height of two adult giraffes.

The first book placed into the store was Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: the nearly definitive edition, introduced by Richard Dawkins and Nick Harkaway (London, Heinemann, 2014)."
Hence the Larry Ellison trade, a cousin of the Bob Rubin trade. Rent-seeking behavior in software development.

Wall garden, vendor lock, license, and litigate for every LOC. Make customers pay for technical debt by dumping more exotic spaghetti code.

Larry Ellison's way of doing business is about him and what he receives at the bottom line. The customer is an after fact in the sales funnel. A resource that needs to be milked as a proper cash cow.

Larry Ellison is as a evil as the offspring of Joffrey and Cersei Lannister could be.

> House prices are a function of wages (or, more accurately, have a floor set by wages if land is constrained) not the other way around.

I guess if you state it as a fact, that makes it true?

But if that’s the case, why would the company pay an engineer more when she moves from the Austin office to the NYC office? She has become more valuable to the company overnight? And the most valuable engineers just happen to live in the most expensive cities?

Sorry, but salaries are impacted by cost of living. Because if they’re paying top talent too low relative to cost of living, those engineers will just move elsewhere, as you suggest.

Yes, this puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the housing market, affecting everyone in the Bay Area. I’m not claiming this is good.

Vancouver is a different situation entirely.

> Why do you think you're entitled to a $1.5m house at all let alone 3 years out of college?

This is not at all what I said. And most people I know here cannot afford a house 10+ years out of college, unless they’ve worked at a top-paying company all those years.

Who is claiming they’re entitled to it? I’m saying companies are offering it to retain employees, because it’s in the companies’ best interest.

> it completely ignores people with real problems, like, oh I don't know, the people who drive the shiny white buses who need to live 2+ hours away.

And there are plenty of people less fortunate than the bus drivers. By your logic, if they don’t like it, they can just move somewhere cheaper. Maybe it’s just too late in the evening, but I’m not really seeing your point here.

> Does that mean over half of engineers are relatively new to the industry?

Jackpot!

All it takes for this to happen is that the number of software engineers in the world grows by 10--20% every year. (Because this means it doubles every 5 years, which means half the workforce has less than or equal to five years of experience.

I recall reading somewhere that the actual growth of the workforce is even greater than that -- somewhere around 25%!
The respective flag for brotli would be `--large_window 25 --quality 11`

Brotli defines memory use as log2 on command line, i.e., 32 MB = 1 << 25

zstd uses a lookup table where the number given by the user is mapped to a decoding-time memory use. The user just needs to look it up if they want to control decoder memory use.

If one benchmarks zstd with `20` and brotli with `20`, zstd may be using 32 MB of decoding memory, where one is specifying 1 MB for brotli. By default zstd tends to use 8 MB for decoding (however it is variable with encoding effort setting) and brotli 4 MB for decoding (not changing with the encoding effort setting).
He talks about reviewing dependencies when they are updated, as well, which certainly would help if someone snuck in malicious code in a minor version change.

You won't have much of these in (South) Eastern Europe. There is a massive brain drain towards Western Europe... every shop needs customers with spare money to go shopping and that's hard for anything that's not absolute necessities when all working-age people from the area went off to greener grasses.

Originally that was the reason why the EU introduced various funds to improve life/economy in the poorer regions... while for some regions it worked out decently, many others had all the money sucked off to corruption. Between 2013 and 2017, for example, at least 1.5 billion € in development funds were wasted (https://kurier.at/politik/ausland/betrug-mit-eu-foerdergelde...).
It very much depends on industry. It's typical that industries with a lot of money also pays higher salaries. When I first started out as an Engineer in oil and gas, salaries had peaked. Senior Engineers were getting paid $300k-$400k.

The brain drain was real. Why would any engineer bother with other sectors, when you could get paid 50%-100% more in O&G, compared to other sectors? Startups, almost no mater how well-funded (by European standards), couldn't compete.

But, surprise surprise, the good days came to an end - massive layoffs, and people suddenly found themselves in those other "lesser" industries, with massive pay cuts.

The good news is that I've seen an explosion in entrepreneurship and tech the past 5-10 years, and people are more willing to try those routes, as well as that the VC community seems to grow stronger.

The harvester(s) are of course built in. There are some pasives - one resistor for a master bias and a handful caps. The antenna is taken directly in - or solar cell type.

How low power is it - it all depends is the correct answer. The chip is tuned for a few different application scenario:

1. DVFS mode: Here you select a clock speed/voltage your application require - and you will get the associated voltage/clock speed in return. You can doctor your code with calls to have various performance levels.

2. Deadline based: You select a deadline for the work to complete within - and the device will throttle by setting clock speed to match this requirement. The voltage is matched for the selected clock speed.

IO voltage is maintained from a seperate regulator - so internal logic voltage can vary with stable IO voltage.

Mask rom + flash...why? Maskrom for some secure boot stuff, stdlib and math - it is less energy per fetch from mask rom vs. flash. Ideally everything should be in ROM - but that makes it hard for the end user to add his/her application

Google has already developed a good featureful JS library. It's called the Closure library. It can be used independently or together with the Closure compiler. It's also more than a decade old, ensuring widespread compatibility, though not necessarily using modern idioms.

> but most data scientists are not programmers

This is the crux of the problem with R and why R is increasingly blacklisted at large orgs. It attracts non-programmers which may have been okay 5 years ago but is no longer acceptable.

With the exception of some engineering powerhouses hiring pure research PhDs to write R code, the trend established over the last 2 years is that fewer and fewer employers are hiring data scientists that aren't programmers. There are too many candidates who know data science and can also do data engineering and even generalist SE tasks. Non-programmer data scientists are not competitive in the industry anymore except that small top-end research niche that doesn't exist in most orgs.

Which brings us back to the fact that R was a successful niche language that allowed non-programmers to write models, but that's simply not enough anymore. Businesses want models that can be plugged into production pipelines, models that can scale without needing a dedicated team to re-implement them, and they want staff who do engineering in addition to whatever it is they specialise in.

Virtually all data scientists graduating today are programmers, and pretty good ones. Candidates who only know R can't compete against them.

So you'd agree that you fall into the 'I prefer the syntax' bucket then? I don't really see any arguments against Python in your comment. Funnily enough, it's trivial to implement a pipe style operator in Python and there's at least two popular libraries for that.
I am afraid you are still mixing two unrelated things. The document format and potential libraries.

Yes, XML libraries tend to be unnecessarily complex (particularly with Java) and are often a drag, but this is not about about the format. Even the bureaucracy you mentioned is not inherent to XML itself. You can perfectly use XML without schema insanity, just like JSON.

XML is quite more verbose (which might help in a rebuild you mentioned) but is generally quite alike to JSON. Even the performance and memory issues you mentioned are not specific to XML but rather to libraries which went bananas.

My point is JSON is not more popular these days because it is inherently superior. JSON is more popular because it was the default choice in a JavaScript environment and - probably - because those who implemented JSON libraries were a tad more sane than their XML counterparts.
Ugly Truths About Working from Home
CC0 is a licence. "Public domain" is a state.

Some works have no copyright, typically because they're the product of a US Federal institution, or the copyright has expired. In American English this copyright-free state is also known as "public domain". (In British English it can mean something quite different.)

To put something in the "public domain", you need to make a statement of such. In other words, a licence. You could just say "I put this in the public domain" but it may not provide the certainty that bigcorps like. CC0 is a way of saying this in bigcorp-friendly language. (The CC0 page at https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc... explains this well.)

Alternatively, you can use WTFPL, which is a really great way of putting your works in the public domain while guaranteeing that bigcorps won't use them (see: statements on HN by Google people, passim).
