It doesn't seem that the browsers still to the expansion things; I've tried it, and am just getting the "We’re having trouble finding that site." error message, or similar. But for some time that expansion was real.
No, that's not this works. Batteries currently cost ~$150 to $250 per KWh. As in, if you want to store one kilowatt hour, you need to spend $150 to $250 dollars on batteries. If you want to store one megawatt hour, then that's $150,000 to $250,000 worth of batteries. Yes, you can cycle this battery multiple times. I'm not sure how you think that this somehow makes storage cheaper. The fact that you can charge a 1 KWh battery and discharge it 1,000 times doesn't magically make it a 1 MWh battery. Battery cost is measured in terms of cost of capacity, in watt hours.

It absolutely is a fantasy to use this for grid storage. To put this in perspective, the US uses 11.5 TWh of electricity each day. The entire world produces 300 GWh of batteries every year. In order to achieve the 12 hours of storage for 80% renewables we'd consume global battery production for several years. To reach the 3 weeks storage for 100% renewable we'd need 805 years of the entire world's battery production at current levels. Sure, battery production is set to double over the next decade. But we're still talking centuries worth of global battery production to fulfill the storage demands of just the United States. And we're ignoring the fact that batteries wear out after a few thousand cycles.

Again, the idea that batteries are going to make wind and solar feasible is a fantasy.

I think one advantage of Swift, as compared to say Rust, on this topic is that one of it's core values is the concept of "gradual disclosure". In other words, Swift is designed in such a way that you can start programming at a low level of complexity and produce functional programs, and over time you can introduce more complex and esoteric concepts into your code as you become more familiar with the language.

If you're jumping straight into a large, mature code-base I can understand how it might seem complex, but it's very possible to write Swift code which is as simple and readable as Go code. The same can probably not be said for C++ or Rust, where there's a certain baseline complexity which cannot be escaped.
Inherited maybe the wrong word. But worker on. Most code I have worked on was great with the exception of python codebases. But that's not really something the original devs could do much about. In contrast to others here I don't dislike clever code as long as it well applied. Nothing is more irritating then an advanced concept being used in the wrong place. Good clever code often teaches me something.

Sure it does. It takes one decade for America to build 1.7 miles of rail. That's for a thing that is done daily across the globe. Doing a thing that's done rarely? Yeah, I have no hope that there is an American company today that can do it.

By the time we build expertise it will be 2080. And all that capital will be tied up until then. Who even knows if fission will be the right tool then.

Your point is taken, but you’re assuming something about the family structure of said hypothetical, 12-kid house.
Yes. It's the same situation as 'retaliating' to tariffs with tariffs of your own.

In today's edition of the sham trial:

Judge Baraitser ruled that there will be no closing speeches in the hearing. Furthermore, because the proceedings have been going on for too long, the defense is not allowed to submit new evidence proving the inhumane conditions Assange would be held in if extradited. Since the defense is also not allowed to cross examine Kromberg, who's written several affidavits which cross the border into perjury, they're somewhat fucked.

More 'time saving' measurements, because apparently that's more important than having a fair and/or humane trial.

Wait, I missed this gorgeous fucking bit of assholery:

Baraitser heard arguments on whether the full medical records of Assange from the doctors and psychiatrists who had given evidence should be released to the media. Both defence and prosecution opposed release, but Baraitser kept referring to “open justice”. She will rule on this on Monday .
So what you’re saying is that they’re now using Cobra Mk III?
I don't know about French employment law but in Germany you can fire anyone for any reason. The only difference is that the contract doesn't expire on the day you fired that person. Instead it will expire in a few weeks (its a bit more complicated but not by much). If you fire the employee during probation (first 6 months) then the employment contract will expire immediately. If you can provide a good reason with proof you can also fire them immediately. Of course this gets abused by employers so you have heard stories where workers sue but only because the employer screwed up. If an employee were to force himself back into a job through a lawsuit then he could be fired but this time with the proper procedure and be forced to leave after a few weeks or months (depends on the contract). In other words, those who sue their employer because of a wrongful termination merely want the paychecks that they have been promised in their employment contract, they aren't doing so because they want to stay forever at such a company.

If you can't decide within 6 months whether a hire is bad or not then that's on you. If you fail to fire them the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th year and so on then that's on you. How do another 4 weeks make your company worse? Maybe the french have an obviously worse system but I see Americans complain about practically any employment law that isn't theirs. They don't complain because it's bad, simply because it's different.
Are there any such chips?

Do we know when there will be any, or whether?
To be fair, that could have been deliberate. When you've got an unhinged dude screaming about how you're oppressing him by blocking his videos, the last thing you want to do is prove him right by blocking his videos.
Pay is set by supply & demand curves.

However, the calculation done by a company is:

a. what is the total compensation paid to the employee?

b. how much value will the employee produce?

If `b` is less than (`a` + opportunity cost), then "no hire". What percentage of `a` is salary is simply irrelevant to the business decision.

Your supposition is only correct if the business manager is winging it and has little idea what is going on financially in the business. The field of "cost accounting" is devoted to figuring these things out. Getting a good handle on it is key to running the business efficiently.
I would assume wind and solar having unknown undesirable secondary effects.

A nuclear power plant is fairly self-contained.

A giant black solar installation captures a lot of heat that would’ve been reflected back into space.

Wind farms slow down wind (obviously..)

We all know how important the gyres in the oceans to preserving the current ecosystem.

Everything is in a delicate balance, if we start messing up something new who knows what would happen.

Are there any studies in this area?
There's plenty to do: I can have hobbies again. I have finished a lot of old projects in the past 6 months, some of which sat in my garage for almost a decade. It's really satisfying. I'm practicing on the guitar again, too. That alone will soak up all the spare time you might have.
Reels suck, though. Maybe that's because Instagram's explore algorithm sucks, though.

I mostly follow sports/cycling/ski stuff on Instagram. What is the most liked/viral content in any category..? It's probably a woman with tight or almost no clothes on. So even when I get a ski video, it's often some babe posing in ski boots and nothing else. Or for cycling it's a woman with the top unzipped. Opening Instagram is basically NSFW even though I've never liked a picture like that or follow those kind of accounts.

And well, most of the content on Reels are reuploads of TikToks or old viral videos. So not much interesting to see.
Isatty() is powerful. Powerful isn't always easy to work with. But, sometimes we want powerful. Like, knowing it's a tty so not echoing password. Or, Pike's plumber. Or maybe even what ls does?

I also got confused when it converted to more complex behaviour, but not everything about it is bad.
No, the 1D case will mostly save on the fact that it transfers 2x times less data from the vram to the chip. The up to 2x times increase in performance was mainly related to 2D and 3D cases, where only 1/4 or 1/8 of the data is nonzero. In 2D, when doing 1D FFTs over x-axis, we omit sequences after Ny/2 because we know they are full of 0 and thus their result will be 0. So we do 0.5Ny x-axis ffts and full Nx y-axis ffts. For a square system this will mean a drop from 2N to 1.5N sequences. In 3D the drop will be even bigger, from 3N^2 to (1/4+1/2+1)=1.75N^2 sequences (almost 2x).
Maybe instead of 5 minutes I should’ve said 50 years. The point is, I don’t exist so I can’t care about life, the universe, or anything.
Fair enough.

Though to be clear, the question is whether the benefits of treating the entire team uniformly outweigh the disadvantages of imposing telecoms frictions on all members, rather than just a portion.
Lossless and Lossy Compression Techniques in Data Compression – Asquero
Maybe I should have been more specific - I'm pretty comfortable on the command line, I use Arch, i3wm, pretty few GUIs.

I just feel there's a lot I don't know still, and is like to pick some more up preemptively rather than waiting until I need it and somehow guessing it does exist, or asking the right question to discover them as an answer.

Man pages are great when I want to know how to use something specific. I'm asking more for a textbook I can read cover to cover, and discover things I didn't know much or anything about, or hadn't thought to use.
In France the state is funding massively the mainstream press since it's not economically viable. As you can imagine it has done wonders for plurality of opinions and journalists feeling free to criticize the government ...
That is true, but you don't need to be a genius at that. The bar is really low - most people don't even negotiate their pay.
And, of course, people are still free to voice their disapproval with actions of their government (whether by law or by executive fiat) they don't approve of.

That's independent of the rule of law being preferable to the alternative.

The rule of law itself doesn't put much of a constraint on what the government can do, it just requires proper form.
Also Frontier Elite II runs great in DOSBox and is my favourite in the series. I believe it was the last big commercial game to be written entirely in assembler and fit on a single floppy disk.
Being entirely dependent on subscribers is still better than depending only on advertisers. There are quite a large number of people who actually want their newspaper to apply sound journalism whatever it takes. Advertisers just want attention. Of course, a mix of both is probably the best.
If I imagine the women earning a bit less, I imagine them getting 65% of less.

Whoever of the parents is earning less, in most cases it would make more sense for the less compensated parent to just switch into part-time, if he/she isn't already working a tax-free "mini-job", while the higher compensated parent takes the leave. This yields the highest income per hours@home.
Yet, it remains a fact. If you know of any chips in production that implement the Bitmanip extension, you have been free all along to mention them.
Bad wording. I should’ve said 50 years or some longer time period. The point is I no longer exist so anything that happens can’t matter to me.
I have traveled to Thailand several times, and once the taxi driver put drugs on my luggage. He was crony with the guard at the airport who was very surprised when he could not find the small cocaine bags the driver has put there(and I had thrown away).

In Thailand they take drugs super seriously and they can blackmail you easily this way.

On the other hand you see all kind of scumbags from western countries traveling there thinking they could do whatever they please with total disrespect for the locals and the country.

Without more data, I bet this is the second case. If the online reviews are false the Hotel is in their right to accuse him of defamation.
> with a crowd who will immediately scroll past anything heavy (or just plain stop using the app) to get to the next funny video?

the same can be said for imgur but it's very effective in presenting political content to a young audience which is as you say scrolling past. what makes it to the top is self regulating (by user upvotes) and still imgur has plenty of political content on the front page (twitter or reddit cut-outs with links to both OC and "deeper reading"). So I can't see why the same wouldn't work on TikTok (oddly one of the videos where a make-up tutorial was shared contained anti-Chinese content and criticism of how Uyghurs are treated - which went viral. Not sure if this is proof but it is certainly evidence that this isn't impossible).
Oh, I was referring to this:

> If you talked to me about types in programming languages six or seven years ago, you would quickly have learned that I was not a fan.

> I was working with Python and JavaScript and simply didn’t miss types at. all

> I understand why I thought that types were worthless from 2012 – 2014. In fact, for the specific languages I had used up to that point, I continue to think that the types don’t really pay for themselves.
If you keep everything legal, I think it's called tax optimisation.
> Still only 2% of men take the leave, while 42% of women do [1].

This statistics is simply misleading. It says that 2% of the fathers with children under 3 years old are currently on parental leave at any given time.

Let's say you split the 14 months of parental leave so that the mother takes 12 months and the father 2 months (which I commonly see). So within the first 36 months of the child's life there is a 2 in 36 chance that the father is currently on paternal leave in any random month. So basically you have to multiply that 2% by 18 to get the total number of fathers who take paternal leave: 36% if they all take the minimum number of months.
> A battery for 100/kwh can be used several 100 to 1000s of cycles.

You're making the same error as reitzensteinm. The fact that you can charge and discharge a 1 KWh battery a thousand times doesn't make it a 1 MWh battery.

If the United States wants to use 80% renewables we need 12 hours of energy storage, which works out to 6 TWh. Even at a very generous cost estimate of $100/KWh, this works out to 600 billion dollars. The fact that batteries can be cycled for a few thousand cycles doesn't make this any cheaper. It just means we "only" need to spend 600 billion dollars every 5 to 10 years. And we'd still be burning fossil fuels at about 1/3rd the rate we currently do.
If you can't visit a country without shouting at the locals in your own language and waving your hands at them, while acting like it's their problem you're just another dime a dozen ignorant asshole tourist, and not the VIP you think you are, then you shouldn't be visiting anywhere.

And to save any more missing the point stereotypes about Italians or New Yorkers waving their hands at each other in completely different contexts:

A stranger angrily waving their hands and unintelligibly shouting things at you would be frowned upon in any culture.

And that this has to be explained - again - to some people is unbelievable.

I actually wasn't sure if the original post wasn't just a parody of the archetypal ignorant English-speaker abroad, since it's such a staple of comedy.

Judging by the downvotes though, HN is absolutely crawling with similarly entitled egotists who blame other people for their own chronic laziness and ignorance when they condescend to grace other countries with their presence.
I'm not going to pretend that parental leave doesn't have its downsides. Of course it also results in companies hiring more people to account for the loss of productivity. It isn't cheap, even if the government is footing the bill.
Well, the US also controls lots of companies that are not American. Especially in finance. They were handing out American sanctions for European banks doing business with Iranian companies.
I don't doubt that the Diablo Canyon upgrade is expensive, and various interests have been set on killing that plant for decades, but there is no way on earth you're getting 40 GWh of storage in central California at any price within a decade.

The total pumped and gas storage capacity of the United States is only like 25 GWh. Building that would require a majority of the total battery production of the entire planet for a year, and most of that wouldn't even be the right kind of batteries regardless of what technology they settled on. Some sort of dream moonshot project to build that would be awesome, but is completely outside the scope of any modern commercial endeavor.
There is a world of difference to the consequences here. One is content being taken down. The other is possible arrest, gulag, or dissapearance if you ever go to China.
> Where do you read that I'm talking about emulating popcount in software? I mean exactly the opposite.

Because you wrote this:

> Did you know that it's stipulated in the RISC-V spec that instructions not present in the hardware can be emulated in software?

apparently in reference to the B extension which includes popcount.
I think your link is slightly misrepresenting the situation as it surveyed parents with kids <3 and <6. In terms of early parental leave (ie. the time covered by Elterngeld), I would think the percentage of men taking time is much higher.

At least anecdotally, many of the fathers I've talked to take the 2 months at the very minimum.
That would be really annoying for loyal readers.

As much as people might avoid him, or dislike him as a person, PayMoneyWubby did an episode on these and actually managed tot ake some of these channels down.

These fake animal rescue channels are just one example of creepy content. The subliminally sexualized family videos on YouTube are even worse.
"wouldn't that depend on why you're not taking them?"

No, definitely not.

You've made no argument here.

It's not the company or the government's business why someone would want to take family leave - or not - same for vacation time, or where someone would go, or what they do frankly.

Unless it's illegal or really adversely affecting the company, or obviously if the company is trying to 'suppress' people from taking vacay etc..

Forcing vacations and such things, to achieve some kind of ideological and probably unscientific premise is a bridge too far.
That is a fairly bold claim. There are laws around it, but it's far from clear whether all the costs are accounted for. There is for example continuous conflict over flooding old mines. That saves a lot of money, but it also risks contaminating ground water with e.g. PCBs.
Florida Man informs Sweden and Germany that their societies are failing. In other news https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBqY-4oDWAQ&feature=youtu.be...

But in all seriousness, Germany and Sweden (and the USA for that matter) all have sub-replacement fertility rates. I understand that you believe that people will reproduce like rabbits, especially if incentivized, but the data doesn't reflect that.

In every system there are those that game the system. The question is: does the benefit for the majority outweigh the cost of those abusing the benefit?

> There's plenty of evidence to the level of dictatorship in China.

The political regime of the countries you deal with is not a national security issue in itself, that's not what national security means. Certainly, 'dictatorship' is not a national security issue. Some of the US's "best friends" were, and are, dictatorships.
Those people probably also nickle-and-dime their countrymen when they're not tourists.
Changing their mood would be one thing, though I doubt it'd work on TikTok as well as it might on FB, people go to TikTok for specific types of content. Propaganda would be quite another, TikTok's format doesn't seem to really work for that kind of content, it's short videos, not infographics and texts.

They're not hard-realtime, so they definitely can miss a few samples. You can workaround that by reconfiguring an external device rather than generating the samples locally, but that's not what Ableton or FL do.

You're right, the first sentence was wrong. I should not have. Thank you for pointing it out, and upvoted.

I hold the second part is reasonable though.
It has been demonstrated that humans have no easy way to universally distinguish artifacts of perception from empirically real phenomena. So I really take issue with this use of "exist". It's never that simple.

And that's before getting into categorization issues. Does Pluto "exist" as a planet? It'd be pretty non-sensical to say it stopped existing when scientific authorities changed its designation. But then was Pluto really a planet before that happened? Or was its planetary status a figment of collective imagination?
Correctness and existence are two different things. I doubt many sites explicitly exclude @example.com or @*.test in their email validator.
I think a discussion on Picat would be a little incomplete without one on Mercury. It combines pure functional programming with logic programming and is plenty fast.
