Well, it's always been exclusively in American English, but I've certainly used it in cases where I was doing text transforms for display, so, yeah, though it's not the most common case.
hmm, thanks for the input
I find it almost impossible to sleep more than 5 hours in one night, but I feel great all day and never feel tired. Exercise for a dozen hours per week and have good discipline with putting away the phone at night, etc.

We are always told how bad this is, but there is no solution offered which actually works and I've never experienced a downside. It would be nice to prove once and for all that it isn't harmful for us all.
>Student populations have a fixed number of grades awarded every year, etc.

Yes, for the national cohort. This is different, the predicted results were weighted on a per-school basis. For example, a particular child taking, say, a history exam, in a school which had previously had no pupils that achieved A* in history over the past four years had probably no chance of getting an A*, even if that was their teachers' prediction. Purely on the basis of which school they went to. A weak cohort (compared to previous years) at a good school would be upweighted.
Some of the areas the article leaves out are around throughout and bottlenecks... you are often limited by particular resources, and the ability to get them to the end of your factory line (I.e. the belts are saturated at the start of the line, but empty by the time they get to the new section of the factory)

Another interesting thing you learn is about a form of 'buffer bloat' (although it behaves differently than traditional network buffer bloat)

Essentially, having too much of a buffer for resources can cause inefficiency.

Say, for example, that you notice you are producing more green circuits than you are using. A naive response is to try to store them, so that your green circuit factories are running at full speed, and then when your need for them increases you will have them available.

However, this has two downsides. One, it will pull resources away from things you actually need in order to keep making more green circuits, even though you have more than you can use right now anyway. The copper that could be going to manufacturing the item that is your current bottleneck is instead going towards something you have too much of anyway.

The second issue hits you on the other side... when you DO start using more green circuits than you are producing, you won't notice until your issue is very severe, because you will have been using your reserves for quite a while. By then, you will have to increase your production a lot to make up for it... which might put a different resource out of whack.

The trick is to let the factories overproducing to backup production and stop... let that back pressure behave as a natural production regulator, which will make it much easier to have a factory that always works as efficiently as possible given your current raw material production.
That is obviously not a good way to do things.

The general public wasn't informed about it, the app was from a company nobody had heard of, and evidently hadn't been tested well.

No, this should be an open transparent effort, with code published online (they need not accept PR's with code BTW). It should be trialled in a few states during an off-year election.
Just to be clear about what actually happened, the results were weighted on a per-school basis, based on results from the previous four years. The disparity in weighting is not solely down to effects at the top of the distribution.
Were you not asked to do system design, or leetcode did enough for you on that?

Thanks for explaining, but I still don't see the logic here.

First of all, how is a retailer supposed to vet their suppliers? They don't have the expertise or time to audit the supplier's own supply chains.

Second, if the (non-counterfeit) manufacturer puts out a shoddy batch, it doesn't matter which suppliers it goes through. Why should the store be responsible for the shoddy product when it could have come through any supply chain?

And third, I don't think lawsuits work the way you think they do. If you get sued, you can't just sue your supplier to pass it on and be done with it. You still lose $$$$ hiring lawyers.

You're seizing on the idea of counterfeit products, but I'm not talking about counterfeits. I've never seen or heard of counterfeit toothpaste in my life. And I'm not talking about foreign producers either -- if you import it, then you're liable.

I'm talking about a store purchasing merchandise from a domestic supplier that is genuine. If that merchandise produces injuries, why on earth would the store be liable, instead of the manufacturer? It makes zero sense.

I haven’t looked at the latest advancements with MicroPython, but last I checked it was both slow and unsafe in ways I wasn’t used to, such as certain language features not being allowed in interrupt handlers, certain operations being interruptible, etc. I totally hear what you are saying about building stuff for less technical people to hack on, but as someone comfortable with C (gasp! shock!), I prefer the predictability I know. And I normally write Python code for nearly everything.
Maybe a tool to evaluate and rank possible side projects? Seems to be a need for that sort of thing. ;)

I have no problem with the idea of down-weighting the entire national cohort to correct for this. The problem is that they actually weighted the results on a per-school basis.

This is one of the reasons I don't play Factorio, or games like it. The point of playing games for me is escapism and rest/recuperation. I feel like I only have so much programming time in me - I think playing these types of games makes me less likely to do some real work.

Plus the "achievement high" is much less; at the end of the day, when you win/do well - you know you're supposed to feel that way, the game was designed for you to win.

I like to sometimes just browse around in my side-project's UI or even codebase and appreciate what I built. Of course, you have to be in the right mind-frame for that. You don't want to go looking for your achievement high and end up thinking "Wow, all that effort and this is all you have to show for it?"
My friend is the exact same as you. She’s only slept 5 hours a day for her entire life. Any more and she actually feels groggy.

For the people leaving the bay area - I'm curious what your living situation is.

I've been in SF or Palo Alto for 15 years since graduating. I'm single, most of my friends are here and the rest are in NYC. I love the idea of moving somewhere more spread out, maybe close to the beach or in the woods, but not at the expense of being isolated. Sure, I know a couple people who've moved away but the vast majority are staying in the city.
I’m going to guess that you’re under 30.
Importantly, from your first citation:

> The present report gives an insight in the ability of the Baltic States to operate their electricity systems independently of the neighbouring countries. The results show that by 2020 and 2030 the dependency of the Baltic States on the outside generation resources is fairly low, following current electricity system development trends.

Consequently, if one were to desire to disempower Russia and Belarus, you’d increase funding to the Baltic states to allow them a more rapid transition to robust electrical grids (through transmission, generation, and interconnector upgrades). The Baltics could always get more power from Finland and Sweden and disconnect entirely from Russia and Belarus if necessary.
You can transfer power from one side to another without the extra hardware expense and losses that a HVDC connection imposes.
The TLDR is right at the end when I have already read the whole thing! :)

By the way, I recently migrated a weblog from Wordpress to Hugo on Netlifly. It was easy! Just add a post in GitHub and it automatically triggers a build in Netlifly and the post is live in seconds! You can also have your own custom domain for free.

Acknowledging that is fine. Saying that makes further conversation irrelevant moves us in the wrong direction as a society.

>...Unfortunately, there's no time left for nuclear (fission)

France was able to go from nothing to getting almost all of their electricity through nuclear in a couple of decades.

It is possible that we will be able to ramp up grid storage enough that we don't have to rely on natural gas to make up for the intermittent nature of renewables, but there is no guarantee that will happen.

Saying "it is too late" or "there is no time" for other options ignores the fact that we only have a fraction fo the grid storage we would need if we want to eliminate burning natural gas.

>...And the battle for public opinion is lost.

Even with a growing anti-science movement in the US, people are about evenly divided on nuclear power which is about a 5% improvement since 2016.

While you are inserting the worry here. I think a person who is susceptible to flu, such as the aged, should be aware that they should probably get a flu shot before they go to their favourite team that has lost for the last 50 years. Otherwise they might not make it to the day they finally win.

I'm not really sure I see how this is a uniquely TikTok problem or why it's really news anymore from the angle the author is approaching the problem. I get it, I'm a millennial, we grew up with tv and parents telling us the internet is full of molesters (and there's a lot of those, don't get me wrong). But the social landscape children are /already/ operating in is so saturated with digital media that the idea the genie can be put away or wholly regulated at this point seems rediculous.

I've got a 14 year old half-brother who I try to chat with often since I know he wishes we were closer. From time to time he shares the sorts of things him and his friends do online with me and it's so far beyond what's in this story that it's hard to view the article's concerns as anything but quaint. By 11 tons of children are already on discord, snap, insta, tiktok, and whatever novelty app is trending at their school, many even start sooner. This is unretricted usage because, just like my generation when we were kids, Zoomers know that the golden rule of the internet is "Of course I'm 18" and when that's not enough most can come up with a scheme to spoof parental permission anyway.

I get that we're talking about age ranges where children are at wildly different points in their social development and that some do benefit from simply being told "no stay out", but if the goal is actually to provide useful protections for the children on these platforms then we need systems that provide escape hatches for people who get in too deep and not just walls to keep them out. What's more, strong enough walls mostly just encourages migration to new apps where monitoring is harder because no one but the kids is aware the scene has moved. I'm all for responsible app design but we can't attack this in the same way past generations have tried to, we already know a nontrivial amount of children will outmaneuver us and so we should incorporate that into the plan.
>So they estimate air pollution from fossil fuels lowers the average life expectancy by 1 year worldwide. Pretty significant.

Surely it doesn't need to be said that all of the industry facilitated by the fossil fuel use, raises average life expectancy by a lot more. I mean, we will do well to move beyond it, but this article saying it's "staggering" etc. is akin to saying that human activity vs. no activity causes staggering impacts.

> I am skeptical if someone thinks they need to do this and how they will get it done.

It's not an uncommon requirement, though probably not often in a locale sensitive way, so you can often get away with just doing the right thing for one locale.

To do it generally, you probably need to research appropriate handling per locale (likely, what your client wants done in the particular locale, since I'm not sure there is usually just one way; I know there are multiple variations in en-US), and then have a master function that takes the text and target locale and applies the correct locale-specific title casing rules.
Perhaps I am an expert, with 12 kids so far.

I think "happier" is kind of vague. It could include being content, joyful, less depressed, amused, and more.

You often won't get #1. Kids can be cruel to parents.

You'll have better luck with #2. Life without kids could seem pretty pointless. I never could imagine that life. What do you do that isn't just empty hedonism?
Looks interesting, but what I have in mind is something that would try to use something else than text entirely, something more geometry-based, and be powerful enough to be a general purpose programming language. I'm not even sure it's possible, and I find myself asking the question "Can a general purpose programming language be entirely textfree (a.k.a. not based on a string of symbols/tape of infinite length)?"
You completely ignored what the person above you wrote.
Non-synchronous interconnects are more expensive, inefficient, and complex than synchronous ones.
It's raining energy, and all we have are forks. It isn't all that easy to transition from a fossil fuel based economy to one that uses solar (direct) or wind (indirectly also solar).

The costs are substantial (though coming down quite a bit), the logistical problems plentiful and the grid that we have today is not well suited to decentralized generation, though that too is work in progress and improving.

I'm a pretty big fan of renewables, at the same time it is always good to be aware of the practical limitations of a technology.

Also, note that heating your house with renewables is a lot harder than say powering the lights or our low power tech demands. By the time you want to replace that oil/gas furnace or you want to power your baseboard heating system (quite common in the US) strictly with renewables it is suddenly not all that simple unless you are willing to pay a very substantial premium.

The SF Board of Supervisors has a lot of control over the supply and has used it to make it very hard to build anything. High prices are a direct result of low supply.

The only thing keeping me in the Bay Area right now is my mortgage. I envy you renters who can just leave at the end of your leases! With work from home and school from home, there is no reason to physically stay in the Bay Area. We might as well move to an RV in the Nevada desert. $200/acre and I get as much benefit (nothing) from zero income tax there as I do in CA at 10%.
I also think $2400 is a floor here, but I also think the spread between unit types will get much closer. Instead of a 1bd being $2900, maybe it will be $2490. I've seen this curve compress in a lot of different combinations over the last 3 months.

But the other factor, which I think everyone is still neglecting, is that the exodus was only voluntarily exits. Evictions and foreclosures aren't happening and there is a massive backlog when they do. So with only the current date, November - January is when the fireworks start.

> The case up-thread was Manafort

Oh, I see. I was speaking into the even further up-thread context of Snowden :p Sorry about that.

> I'm not sure which State laws Snowden might have violated

E.g., http://euro.ecom.cmu.edu/program/law/08-732/Jurisdiction/Haw...

> I can see an argument against double jeopardy in the Federal->State direction as opposed to the State->Federal direction: the former, if allowed, could see a defendant tried as many times as there are States + 1, and that can't possibly be in the interest of Justice.

+ a lot more than 1 because of Native American jurisdictions

It's a good pint, but the crime would have to occur in overlapping jurisdictions, which doesn't apply in the case of Manafort. I think even in the case of Snowden it'd be difficult to argue for jurisdiction outside of HI and maybe any states he passed through with HDDs.

I just searched for drug trafficking and computer fraud cases that resulted in multiple charges for the same act in several states. I couldn't find any particularly egregious cases.

I'm not even sure how important this is in the case of computer crime; jurisdiction gets hairy really fast.
i have an honest question here. i haven't lived in sf -just visited. i have however been to most states and about 40 countries for comparison.

food - most of what i saw was not good food. hipsterish overpriced food made by chefs trying to show off by putting a twist on dishes -not to be good, just to be different or weird. tiny portions, not tasting above average, on a huge plate. all presentation, not actual taste.

culture: there is no culture. culture was when i lived in versailles. sf is all snooty people with no content, trying to show off. culture is down to earth, with class.

bars -there are very few attractive girls at bars, or at offices, or even on the street, compared to just about anywhere in the world. and if that's not why you go to bars, i have to ask -you'd enjoy going to bars with mostly men? because that's cool too -once in a rare while.

density is poor in sf. in good cities, you can walk where you want in a few minutes. sf is uber heaven. i've lived in cities with amicable density - without a car, and maybe grabbing a cab once a month. sf ain't it.

the weather's not bad, a little windy. and the ocean is close by. housing prices are being kept artificially high by sf itself -not letting people build housing.

so i can't see anything about sf that'd make people want to live there other than higher salaries. and the first chance they have to earn that salary elsewhere or remote, they jump on it.

so i think that's what's happening now. nothing to do with covid directly -just people who would never live there in the 1st place if it wasn't for the job, leaving as soon as the job lets them.

i think all this analysis of what people are doing and why weirdly avoids the very simple explanation -everyone's just doing what work lets them do. it's entirely dictated by employers.
