Your parent already said why. The ability of gas plants to quickly adjust to changing loads is one of the things enabling those solar, tidal, and wind plants to be on the grid. Nuclear, hydro, and geothermal are great for baseline load, but adjust very slowly to changing load requirements.

Gas is filling a legitimate technical gap right now within the power grid, bridging between slow baseline plants and unpredictable renewable sources.

Specifying that the choice is between zero emissions and bust, and then rejecting intermediate solutions, is a sure way to get bust.
friend, i'm afraid you've been lied to. it's not your fault. we've all absorbed loads of lies. when i was a teenager, i thought no guy would ever want to date me because i wasn't skinny or "pretty". a number of humiliating experiences drove that home. but over time, it turned out to not be the case at all. i had to revise my understanding. and i had to not give up or get grumpy about it.

the good news is now that you know that you've been sold some bad goods, you can start to figure out what the real story is. and only good things can come from that :} there is some great advice in this thread, especially this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21977225

Random thought: what’s stopping main memory from being as fast as CPUs (in throughput, not necessarily latency)? TDP? The unwillingness to pay $100s per DIMM?
> RSUs give your employer some friendly tax consequences. Aren’t they allowed to be written off?

I think you are just flat wrong about the physical reality of just about everyone.

If you and I teleported into the homes of large numbers of people all over the globe (with a tape measure in hand) we'd would find they had the extra space that a discrete gpu requires (roughly a paperbook book) exists for just about everyone.

I believe you don't fully believe what you are saying but instead are repeating the "corporate design" logic that allows companies to provide 5 year old laptop cpus in "nice" cases and get 80% margins out of the sales.

Not actual practical design at all, just corporate self serving nonsense.
Sadly required, but seems very honest and relatable. Would probably share with any woman in tech.

As a secondary point, I find several of these applicable to me as a guy too, although that's not the main point of this.

You need some generation source that can quickly be brought online when needed, e.g. to meet peak demand for a few hours a day during extremely hot (or cold) weather, or when it's not windy/sunny.

Natural gas power plants are cheap to build and significantly cleaner than coal plants currently in operation. Nuclear is a fantastic option that I strongly support, but building reactors is a very expensive and multi-year process (if you can even get approval for it).

NG is not the endgame solution, but it is an immediately available solution to fill that gap until grid scale battery technology and sufficient renewable or nuclear capacity comes online.

Conversely I have had multiple pairs of Sennheiser and Audiotechnicas for over 5 years now, all with wires, and they are still work phenomenally. I have used them as daily drivers (I keep the Audiotechnicas at work, and my Senn HDs are for the commute, flights, hanging out at home, etc) and they still produce amazing sound quality and I only had to replace a cable once and buy one set of ear-cups (I like over ears not in-ears).

I find Sennheiser and Audiotechnica build quality products that last if you buy their higher end stuff. In the case of AT, the M50x's aren't even that expensive and they are as good as the day I bought them.

I am not aware of such platform but you can just create a GitHub repository and dump your ideas there.

If the trees were grown from seed, it is almost guaranteed that the apple you have is unique, though it may share some characteristics with other varieties. All apple varietals are grafted (cloned) from the original specimen onto other root stock.

It sounds like they don't hold their flavor well, so they're unlikely to be suitable for large-scale commercial cultivation, though apparently there are active communities of apple enthusiasts who would be happy to take cuttings.
If you get fired, unless it qualifies under some due cause, the options should immediately vest.
I have more ideas than I have time to implement, so I focus on the ones that are most interesting/doable/potentially profitable.

The bounty idea is a good one, but again, I think it will rapidly become a race to the bottom on price. As soon as the bounty gets to the point where someone in e.g., Eastern Europe thinks it's good money, they'll bid on it even though a dev in SF thinks it's pocket change. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that in a lot of cases it will happen as soon as the bounty hits $100.
I like flying but hate the pollution burning leaded gas in crappy inefficient engines produces and have a really hard time justifying it.

As a result, I'm building my own plane to run 91 octane E10 from the corner pump. With redundant electronic ignition and fuel injection I'm expecting in excess of 30mpg equivalent at around 150mph, about two to three times the efficiency of your average Cessna. Being under an experimental type certificate, conversion to electric once battery density is reasonable should be feasible.
Methane has a much shorter half-life in the atmosphere than CO2. Also unlike CO2 emissions there is an economic incentive to fix methane leaks: you're leaking product!

Depends on the actual numbers. They could be worthless or worth millions. Every funding round changes that.
That's good to know, thank you. Really this is more of a what-if thought experiment than anything serious right now.
I think there's plenty interesting.

The sophistication of Roman siege warfare. There is an entrenched enemy. Caesar's legions build miles of fortification to surround and starve out the enemy. Many more enemies come to break the siege. Caesar's legions build second miles long fortification, around the first.

It is a defining moment in Caesar's rise to fame and infamy, laying the groundwork for his eventual emperorship. Without this victory and Caesar's popular support, the history of Rome may have been very different.

There is a noble sacrifice by the Gallic general, Vercingetorix. Realizing the imminent defeat, he suggests to his people that they kill him or surrender him as a bargaining chip to receive lenience from the conquering Caesar. He does this knowing that the Roman tradition is to march defeated generals through the streets of Rome before ritually killing them. Turns out he got to be imprisoned for years before that "honor".

These are the three things that stood out most to me.
Methane doesn't entirely oxidize to CO2 in ten years. It has a half-life, so it gradually tails off. The net warming impact of methane over 100 years is 34 times higher than the warming impact of CO2: https://unfccc.int/news/new-methane-signs-underline-urgency-...

Over just twenty years, the impact of methane is substantially higher than that: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-bad-of-a-gree...

This matters, because the big concern with climate is exceeding a tipping point, where natural feedbacks like ice melt, emissions from melting permafrost, and forest fires cause the planet to warm several degrees further with no more help from us. We see that happening several times in geological history, where small amounts of warming kick off a positive feedback cycle that adds several more degrees.

Warming over the next few decades will pretty much determine whether that happens to us. After fifty years, hopefully we'll have a zero-carbon economy, but if we've already tipped into a warming cycle by then, it won't matter.

Not being able to identify Iran is one thing. But it takes a special kind of stupid to think it's in Australia or the Americas. I was going to comment that we don't need yet another article pointing out the stupidity of Americans. I was wrong. This points out either stupidity beyond any comprehension or that a lot of people did not take this seriously. I hope it's the latter. It's embarassing to me to be a part of a society that is this stupid otherwise.
Rather than individual-memory-address prefetch instructions, how would you feel about sending a DMA program to a controller on-board a memory DIMM, that would then enable you to send short external commands to the memory that would be translated by the DMA program into custom “vector requests”, to which the memory could respond with long streams of fetch responses—shaped somewhat like the output of a CCD’s shift-register—where this stream of fetch responses would then entirely overwrite the calling CPU’s cache lines with the retrieved values?
I think the more likely scenario is that NY would contract the transactional system out to some company, and force banks to setup special account types that interact with the system, and pay licensing fees for using it. And setup a clearing house to enable end users to get accounts from the participating banks.

And "force" is more hyperbole. It goes without saying that the banks will not pass up the an opportunity to add a significant amount of cash to their reserves, and will lobby heavily for it.
> eg interfaces can be implemented privately outside of the class namespace

Not sure what you're referring to here (you can implement interfaces of other packages in Java), but everything else you mentioned is not related to C#/Java's OO system.
This is not true in most contracts - you can negotiate for it if you're high enough level or early enough, but otherwise it's rarely the case.

Besides, if you get fired from a startup and it's not for cause, then it's probably because there are layoffs, so it might be a bad choice to exercise your options anyway.
Why are there no B batteries? (2012)
Sad story.

About 10 years ago, I was brought in as a contractor to train a team with 5 junior women engineers, one other junior man, and an older woman manager.

The other guy would constantly shit on EVERY idea presented by a woman. Like, in the 4 months I worked there, he never once said anything positive in any of their presentations or our group exercises, and he was like 25 years old and just as experienced as they were.

One of the woman programmers was exceptionally good and he shat on her the hardest because her ideas were usually adopted, but she was meek and the manager faught him (her subordinate!) for said junior woman's ideas. It was so fucked up.

On my way out, I had a meeting with him and talked about how he was being very dismissive of perfectly reasonable solutions, and he flat-out told me "women aren't very good at engineering, I'm a better programmer (he wasn't) and need to clean up their ideas first, I'll eventually run this group." I was like, holy shit, there's no reaching you.
I finally started using Vim sort of by force, and am already becoming proficient with it after a few hours (and liking it). The reason was that my ISP sent me a cheap Chromebook for free, and I've started using it for coding during my commute (and relegating my old laptop to my music studio). A few days ago there was a ChromeOS update that seems to have killed the ability to connect to code-server (a VS Code server) from the browser, no matter what I tried, and then I tried my old trusty Emacs and I can't get MELPA to detect go-mode at all.

Infuriated by all of the above I found a nice tutorial on how to set up Vim for Go development, used vimtutor, and now I've been able to do non-trivial amount of work while on the train. I actually rather enjoy vim now.

They can definitely be worth significantly more since RSU numbers are locked well in advance (1-4 years).
If by "handling well" you mean examples like buying the Belgian energy sector and then buying the Belgian politicians with generous revolving doors to keep open extremely dated and deteriorating reactors in Wallonia (Thiange) and Flanders (Doel) and playing deaf to the objections of neighboring states scared shitless of having these things operating in a dilapidated state so close to their borders, then yes, I guess they are doing a-ok.
I could picture this being used to tack on several more charges...

It's a bit more than that. I'm a vegetarian, so obviously I have a bias, but I think it's objectively true that the beef industry in America is in a pretty bad place. I consider it "horrific", personally, though reasonable people disagree.

Would "veal" be an acceptable name?

When I think of eating beef in 2020, I think of a person whose freedom to eat whatever pleases them is more important than human health, suffering of intelligent animals and the environment.

Allow me a bad analogy. If I interviewed someone for a senior engineering role but they went out of their way to mention that they had named one of their children "Stalin" -- that would be kind of a red flag for me.

So to me, naming your pet project "Beef" is kind-of tone deaf at best.

And at worst, it's thumbing your nose at political correctness: "Haha I named my project Beef because beef is great and fine and if you disagree you're thin-skinned and blindly following the crowd."

I think the issue is a lot more complicated than that.

Just my admittedly-biased two cents.
sigh

Have you actually done this? Do you really think we haven't?

The Appel book in particular is very good, but it only covers assembly generation at a high level. None of the examples target a real-world architecture.
Console support important. That being said, there's a question of what console support means. For a programming language, that generally just means the compiler needs to be capable of generating binaries for the given target processor. The issue of how to interact with the hardware itself and how to participate in the toolchain provided by the console vendor is much more difficult and is outside the scope of the language/compiler.

The ideal case is for an engine such to embrace Beef and work through those issues.

Chucklefish was an early(ish) adopter of Rust and tried to maintain an XBox/PS4/Switch toolchain but eventually abandoned it. Rust is probably a good example of a popular "alternative language" that may pave the way for BeefLang and others to work their way into those spaces.
Yeah, well, the phasing out of coal has been decided long time even before that - and still nothing happened. So “was decided long time ago by the Green party” is more a “who cares - I believe it when I see it”. Merkel made it happen for real (unfortunately).

The decision to end nuclear power has been one of the “Merkel just decides without really caring” decisions. Germans are not entirely stupid. We have lived through Chernobyl, we know what a Tsunami is - the French and Belgians run much more unreliable reactors in direct vicinity of large densely populated areas. It was not “the will of the people” - but Merkel. Just like the end of the compulsory military service, the bailouts for southern Europe, the refugee crisis... Nothing democratic about that. The German public has nothing to say in these decisions and I don’t recall that ANY of these topics were actually discussed agenda points by any party. The stock prices of publicly traded energy companies folded - keep in mind: they PURCHASED the power plants from the government and were then told to shut them down. The stock price development is an economic reflection how fair the “compensation payment” was.

Electricity prices are now about 30 Ct/kWh in Germany. That is 50% higher than the UK and 100% higher than France. And they keep rising.

I would not infer that Bild headlines (aka the German Sun) are “public opinion”. Of course nuclear power was discussed quite heavily - but ever rising electricity prices, coal’s contribution to electricity remaining flat and the increasing resistance against wind farms certainly paint a more differentiated picture.
I'm just saying there is a lot of sample bias. Have you spent 15 years in the trenches doing laboratory science? If not, I hate so say it, you really don't know. You also don't have a grasp of how silly your superficial google searches are.
Last time I checked South Africa got rid of their nukes in 1989 and has yet to deviate from the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty it acceded to in 1991. It also recently ratified the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Do you know something we don't?
Nice! Super excited to try this out.

Being forced to use a product at work is one thing, but is it really that difficult to opt out of Facebook and Google in one's personal life? Unless one needs to advertise a personal business or something, the former is as easy as deleting your account, and you can drop most of the latter's services in minutes (just use DDG/protonmail/openstreetmap/etc instead). Obviously if you have an Android phone that's another step.

All I'm saying is it can be done, and it needn't be all or nothing: one can proceed in whichever increments make the most sense.

I, Claudius by Robert Graves is fascinating and very readable. One of the greatest examples of historical fiction. All of the major events of the book are historically accurate, and Graves just brings them to life with dialog and his knowledge of daily life in Rome. The sequel Claudius the God, is good, but honestly covers a less interesting period in Roman history.
The big issue with D, in terms of no-overhead is that is has garbage collection by default, and if I understand correctly, the garbage collector is not as advanced as Java's or Go's.

While you can use D without the garbage collector, you will lose access to a lot of the standard library, which limits the practicality of running without garbage collection.
This is also incorrect. According to this site:

https://ourworldindata.org/co2-and-other-greenhouse-gas-emis...

The US is responsible for 25% of cumulative emissions.

Still #1, but to be 'mostly' responsible it would have to have emitted more than double the total which it actually has.

Galaxy brain: maybe the same qualities that make a guy more valuable in the professional marketplace and qualify them to be VCs and CEOs instead of entry level SWEs (interpersonal skills, superior judgement, long-range vision, managerial skills, identifying win-win solutions and building consensus for them, etc) also make them better romantic partners. So the salary is a correlation with an underlying shared root cause, not a direct causation.
OP didn’t say significantly.

The only reason I would agree with putting RSUs at a higher valuation is due to the vesting schedule - it often isn’t value now, but value in 2 years.

So obviously “cash now” vs “stock now” is equal as you point out, but “this much cash in two years” vs “the value of this much stock now, in two years” would make most people lean towards RSUs in that scenario. (Of course no one would really offer the former straight up, but I suppose thats what bonuses are)
What the? Crazy if they pull this off. When I was testing printers at Xerox in Wilsonville, Oregon some 1 years ago the benchmark for the consumer grade ones were the HP units. They never seemed to jam or fail. The Xerox ones weren’t as good.
