It's basically the cost of Visa running divided by the number of transactions they do. So yes it includes everything. You don't need to play silly tricks like that to make Bitcoin look bad. Bitcoin uses similar or more energy than the banking system while processing vastly fewer transactions. Somehow people can't comprehend how ridiculously inefficient bitcoin transactions are.
He's not wrong, though. He's following the spec, and users are asking him to violate it to be compatible with programs which also violate it. If everyone just followed the spec, however, colors would work beautifully for everyone all the time without anyone having to worry about weird edge cases in specific programs.

If a program you run in Kitty displays incorrect colors because it's hijacked bolding instead of implementing proper color support, you should absolutely go and make the issue known to the authors of said program as they are the ones who fucked up by violating the spec in the first place.

The whole point of standards is to make the relevant technologies more accessible. Developers too often break spec without regard for accessibility, all in the name of cool new features. This is bad, and it makes sense to discourage it by simply enforcing the spec.
The advantage of the ground station being closely located to users is very very small (assuming options are in view and not at the extreme limits). There's not really any latency to avoid, the traffic is going up and down and through a ground station either which way. The current ground stations probably have better (as in lower latency) connectivity than a telco's local exchange anyway.

Considering the high complexity of field-deploying a ground station during an emergency when several nearby ground stations are available, it's difficult to imagine why they would ever do this. Licensing for ground stations is more complex which generally prevents installing one on short notice, and because the "teleport" link requires higher total bandwidth than the consumer links it typically uses larger antennas, higher power levels, and often even a completely different band and encoding both for higher throughput and to simplify managing interference with the consumer-facing antennas.

That said, my assumption would be that Starlink offered to provide redundancy for the WiFi at this site, so while the Starlink service in the photo is not necessarily in use it does serve a function by providing some reassurance in case the telco experiences infrastructure problems subsequent to the fire (not unlikely because fire recovery involves heavy equipment, tends to destabilize hillsides, etc).
The code in the linked repo with the stats is literally:

>const totalInvalidLabelPRs = await db.collection('pull_requests').find({'labels.name': 'invalid'}).count();

They also mention the label "invalid" multiple times and never the label "spam." So even if they count "spam" for making entries invalid for a reward their stats do not seem to take that into account.
I like the DigitalOcean team and know some of them personally. The thing is that the author is spot on with his comments.

In the OpenFaaS community we've suffered every year from spam and low quality PRs that completely ignore the contribution guidelines. The worst part is that we cannot opt out.

I would love to see the team listening to maintainers and coming up with new ideas.

Subjectively, that makes sense to me.

I might be into archery and photography, but if I'm browsing an article about lenses and I see an ad for arrows, that's just creepy.

But if I see an ad for lenses, or even gimbals, I might go and buy one on the spot. Or put it in the cart and sleep on it, whatever.

At this point it's worse than that (for advertisers), because I'll never see the targeted arrow ad, since I block as much surveillance tech as I can without disabling Javascript entirely. But if a blog serves same-site content which happens to be an ad, and some of them are smart enough to do that, I'll see it.
Krugman is very keynesian when it comes to economics. I also feel he is not the genius the media makes him to be.

Think of Modern Money Theory as this crazy theory that challenges our intuition but actually makes sense if you really understand it.

> there is apparently at least some circumstances where printing money doesn't lead to inflation

If everyone in the USA (and the world) decided tomorrow not to hold the USD any more, you'll have hyper-inflation in the matter of a few hours. Printing money is just one variable to inflation; and not really a very important one if you have lots of money flowing already in the economy.
The current approach to deal with the remedial situation you describe is “corequisite support.” In the case where the placement test says you’re not up-to-speed, you get assigned to extra sections of prep/tutoring rather than being told to stop your college progress and retake the prerequisite(s).
Sorry about the weak attempt at Trekkie humor. I happen to think highly of Iceland! Particularly their punishing of bankers back in 2008. I thought about citizenship solely because of that.

My point was that 'social representation' and 'economic inequality' are related.

They don't have enough social representation in social institutions because of economic inequality caused by Caste system over long period of time.
Ah, I see the misunderstanding.

The "smart" functionality is how they achieve low prices. They subsidize the cost of the TV by selling your usage data. They may have deals with app providers as well - similar to how the price of a consumer laptop is subsidized by preloaded crapware.
Not really. Did you read the issue thread? He's enforcing the spec. If anything, that improves accessibility since that's what specs are for, maximizing accessibility.
It’s due to voters wanting to help people without paying for it.

Goal: help people by increasing the amount of money they have

Politician A: I’m going to help people by increasing taxes and increasing cash given to people

Politician B: I’m going to help people by forcing business to increase pay and therefore keep taxes low.

Voters will choose politician B.

Same thing with higher education:

Politician A: I will help students by funding universities and keeping tuition low, but have to raise taxes.

Politician B: I will help students by increasing the amount of debt they can load up on and I will cut taxes by reducing funding for universities.

Politician B gets elected again.

Famously (or perhaps not, but I remember it anyway), Duke Nukem Forever developers 3D Realms said that it would be released "when it's done".

Duke Nukem Forever was first announced in 1997. It was released in 2011, and got terrible reviews.

All in all, giving yourself an unlimited timeline for development is perhaps not a recipe for success.

I was on the fence for the pre-order. This did it. Pre-ordered.

But right after I ordered, I'm now struck with wondering if the Fi version I ordered is the same as the one from the Play Store. I hope it's International. That's why I use Fi.

Now I don't feel so bad about making PRs to my own projects.
Yeah, that's true, but you'd be surprised by the number of things that can be modeled with an activity stream.

It's one of the more common objections people have as they understand the model, but in practice we've found that it's not an issue. Our CEO loves asking people to describe their hard data questions and then redefine them in terms of the activity stream.

The metadata support tables are actually an exception -- we don't use them frequently in practice.

Thanks for engaging with us. If you ever want to dive deeper into this we're always happy to chat.
Still does.

What about Git? Last I knew, it required Perl to build.

I haven’t seen this in ages, but I remember Microsoft had a radio like DJ on their on hold queue.
And when their attempts to "contribute" to the WHATWG and Let's Encrypt documentation repos didn't go through, they resorted to creating a handful of dummy projects of their own, then making five pull requests on those repos from a new Github account.

At least that doesn't inconvenience open-source maintainers, I guess. It's clear that the spirit of the event has been lost, though.
This is such a neat project. Looking forward to the book. If there will be an English version, I'll buy a copy for sure :)

I'm surprised that Rust is ahead of C++ in their ranking, and by quite a bit. I tend to use C++ as "C with STL and smart pointers" basically (a-la Google), I don't see why it'd be any slower or less energy efficient than C.
Ah, the ole "idiot user" rhetoric, imprisoned for their own sake. Say I call the Apple support center, ask for the code, and they warn me in no uncertain terms that I'm voiding my warranty and would not be eligibile for continued support.

How can this prevent any mentally sane person from trusting Apple made the correct decisions and not root their device?

It's a laptop replacement for some people, some of the time. Which imo doesn't make it a laptop replacement. Because it would make phones from 10 years ago also a laptop replacement for some people, e.g. Teenagers who only use a web browser and some social media.

The key feature of a laptop is that you are guaranteed that it can do what you want. Even if you haven't thought of it beforehand. For example, a photographer buys an ipad pro. She reasons it should be fine since Adobe photoshop has been deemed worthy by Apple. For the first couple of weeks she is happy but then she wants to do some 3D work in bender. Oops blender isn't available on ipad and there is no way to make it work. Her laptop replacement isn't a laptop replacement at all since now she needs a laptop as well to run blender.

For almost every person such a scenario is certain to occur at some point. If Apple markets it as a laptop replacement it should be able to replace a laptop at all times.
> this is not a realistic option for most other countries, including Sweden

It is also a question of how much economic cost a country is willing to incur. Trucks can swap trailers/tractors at borders so drivers never cross border. International Tourism can be completely shutdown. Borders of some countries could be closed by the army, incurring personal costs to anyone that normally would cross the border regularly.

Tourism in New Zealand contributed 6% of the country's GDP and supported 8% of New Zealand's workforce. Most of that was international so has dropped radically, and there are other economic costs to NZ on top of that. There are also the personal costs of families that are split between countries and people that can’t get to important life events like weddings or funerals etc.

NZ has decided that the economic costs are worth the gains of avoiding 2500 early deaths (expected 10yr decrease in lifetime for each) and x0000 long-term health problems. I don’t know if the gains are worth the costs, but I am pleased we have given ourselves time and avoided making a rash decision to incur those costs.
It's also an app (can be installed on phones).
They at least tell you when the delivery will be.

Last year we wanted to buy a new sofa from a local dealer of Black Red White. We chose a model we liked, found it in stock, placed an order, paid for it, and awaited delivery.

Two weeks later - past the expected delivery - no sofa, no indication when it'll arrive. It took my wife one week of e-mailing and phonecalling back and forth between BRW and their local seller until we finally learned that the sofa was not actually in stock, the model is out of production, so it will be custom-manufactured for us and should arrive in few months.

Fortunately, we were able to cancel the order and get our money back. We went to a bed store 10 minutes walk from our home and bought a sofa that we could physically see and touch.
Works fine, yes
Fascinating. I would love for there to exist a fully-patched version of XP to run on classic computers.
Given that most of the computationally expensive work in Python is usually offloaded to C extensions (and JIT compilation is an option with Python), is the cost savings in electricity that significant? A desktop PC probably only costs about 10 cents an hour to run at most.

Perhaps your interest in CL is because you can recall using it in its prime. Nostalgia Or just novelty is certainly a valid argument.

You need to disable inlining. __builtin_frame_address can give surprising addresses when inline enabled. The code itself is likely not be wrong, but you won't confined to the lexical scope as if you see in the code (the defer can be triggered when the parent function returned).

I took a weekend skin-on-frame canoe building class at Yestermorrow in VT [1]. Also, I’ve been working on wood carving with Mary May’s online school of wood carving. [2] It works better than you might expect because you can pause and rewind sections that you miss. I normally have my laptop on my workbench and work and then when she gets to the next step, pause and rewind slightly when I catch up.

It's odd, I found old books people left in our building hall. And they had the postcard format ad (doubles as a bookmark).. and it felt "nice". Not intrusive, not obnoxious.. yet it's the same device.. but some aspects make it acceptable.

- it's a small size compared to a book
- it's not monitored
- it feels more personal (<= almost absurd)
> Fossil also supports bug tracking, wiki, forum, and technotes

That sounds great, but I'm scared of checking these features out because I'm currently looking at the quick start guide[0] and am immediately put off by how awful the CSS is. Formatting running text such that a single line can be ~500 characters wide[1] results in very low readability. There's a difference between ‘themeable’ and ‘configuring a custom theme is mandatory because the default option makes you feel sick’.

In case someone working on Fossil sees this: I just bookmarked the site because the project seems very attractive in most other respects. I hope that when I eventually re-visit that link, I'll be able to go on a significantly deeper dive. A somewhat sane style sheet would certainly help.

> But if you make the drivers employees then the company has no reason not to schedule their hours inflexibly, because the flexibility was only needed to attract workers at the lower level of compensation.

What if there were another purpose to the flexibility, to apply that 'two hours and fifteen minutes' of time the college student had to capturing the market value of shuttling people around campus and nearby, rather than stationing some 40-hour/week employee near campus, hoping to have them utilized all 40 hours?
> Germany is introducing a fine for providing incorrect contact details to restaurants

The older I get, the more true the adage "those who do not learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them" becomes to me.

Why is it that every few generations we have to repeat the mistakes of the past, in versions ever more vicious and horrific, in order to learn (for a couple of generations maybe) that it was a bad idea?
If someone is willing to work extra hours, I contend that fact won't change regardless of whether they're allowed to work for less than they're worth. If they can't find any work to do, then they'll make some. That's how we got to where we are today. But from a government/society's POV, there's no difference between a citizen not making enough money to survive (aka a "living wage") and making $0. Both are roads to failure.

A free market without consideration for the value of a citizen is a race to the bottom. It's a responsibility of a society to ensure its fellow citizens aren't killing themselves.

Also, the "doesn't the person get a say in what's dehumanizing" argument is just so fucked up. I guarantee you it was used 200 years ago by plantations lobbying against emancipation. It conveniently benefits the person already in power while slowly exploiting and destroying their victim.
For the Pixel 5, I believe I read that the hardware is the same everywhere (although verizon and some other carriers may have the phone carrier-locked, at least temporarily).

The 4a 5G does have a different version for Verizon.

> Because Trump supported white supremacists

This is a lie. 100% debunked lie. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/02/trump-has-condemned-white-...

As far as women, framing Trump as a big meanie who says mean words totally ignores what he and his administration have actually done for women in the aggregate.

> Our nation has created more than 7 million jobs since the 2016 election — and women have filled over half, or more than 4 million, of those vacancies

> The unemployment rate for women stands at a minuscule 3.2%, and last September reached its lowest level since 1953

> And as the unemployment rate has declined, so too did the number of women in poverty, decreasing by 1.5 million in President Trump’s first two years in office

The victims of sex trafficking are primarily women and children

> Worldwide, there are 40.3 million victims, with 75% women and girls and 25% children, according to The International Labour Organization

> Trump signed the Abolish Human Trafficking Act, which strengthens programs supporting survivors and resources for combating modern slavery

> [Trump] signed the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act which tightens criteria for whether countries are meeting standards for eliminating trafficking

> Trump also signed the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act, authorizing $430 million to fight sex and labor trafficking, as well as the Trafficking Victims Protection Act, which establishes “new prevention, prosecution, and collaboration initiative to bring human traffickers to justice.”

> since President Trump took office in January 2017, there have been nearly 12,470 arrests for human trafficking, according to arrest records compiled by investigative journalist Corey Lynn, and over 9130 victims rescued. Compare that to the 525 arrested in Barack Obama’s last year in office

This is just the reality of the current JS world and just how it continues to get done for practical and profressional reasons.

The dream is having small self-contained web components and can just drop in to your site (the whole whole anti-JS stuff is a whole other beast and IMO unrelated to practical shortterm goals of getting web components at the browser.

What the components end up doing is still heavily dependent on a JS component building world that was built with a framework in mind and native web component integration as a future ideal implementation system. But otherwise there is no getting away from components being tied together in a wider system with heavy JS dependencies.

Basically nothing has failed. Other than maybe React and Vue et al turned out to be more practical for the above reasons and full native web components are an afterthought. They've been sufficiently simulated where it's not a big deal.
