How? Where did you read about it? The fact that IG accounts can be just "swapped" like that seems like a big security problem.
> A lot of those articles aren't relevant anymore, but they show many algorithms that were used in that period of time.

I would actually argue the inverse. There are many articles that are still very relevant, some just don’t realize it since modern engines abstract the logic away. But there are some developers that work in engines that still need that knowledge. BSPs, VFSes, raytracing, 2d blitting techniques, 3D mathematics, etc are all still very useful.

This is one of the reasons I’m so glad these archives have stayed online for so long.
No, you don't need storage for multiple weeks, that would be silly.

Solar is so cheap now that already panel generation capacity is frequently getting oversized compared to the potential inverter output, to maximize costs.

Future solar farm design will optimize seasonal generation capacity similarly; size your panels for the seasonal minimum, attach batteries, and you can have year round output of a firm amount with only hours worth of batteries.
Al victimless crime law does that. We need constitutional freedom against such law imho.
Yeah I doubt they are totally independent, I assume its just a subset in the org that doesnt get access to how the rest of the organization works to protect the rest of the organization. Just effectively coordinating hobby bloggers.
Yes. Sweden and Germany do it.

Actually Norwegian parental leave is not that generous by the standards of similar countries. There is one year total of leave shared between mother and father (or other mother).
I remember designing glyphs on grid paper and an animating a character to walk across the screen thanks to an "advanced bbc micro techniques" book I found in the library.

I didn't understand the section on 3D objects at all though! I still don't, although I did find the book and port it to C++ the other year to draw a poor-man's 3D system in wxWidgets.

Fascinating.
What about European users? Will there be any trouble withdrawing funds? I'm for Portugal, if that helps somehow.
From the abstract:

> End-of-life (EOL) solar panels may become a source of hazardous waste although there are enormous benefits globally from the growth in solar power generation.

It is good that people worry about this new waste stream, and argue incentivizing recycling of this waste stream.

That said, the harmfulness of different types of waste is not compared in kilograms...
Investing nuclear, wind, solar and storage is be cheaper than leaving nuclear out.

Nuclear has it's place in the mix.
There seems to be some confusion between paternity leave and parental leave. Figure 1 (page 6) in document [1] gives a good comparison between among EU countries., where paternity leave is represented by a black bar.

Unfortunately most don’t really understand that and end up just “trusting the software”
It has some beautiful moments, but for the most part the gameplay is uninspired and repetitive. 80% of your time is spent staring at a wormhole animation or floating dust in super-cruise.
An under-reported pattern I see in larger Norwegian organizations:

- Someone leaves for 8 months of maternity leave

- Org hires a replacement with determined-end contract

- Org loves this new person

- New person also enjoyed their time in this position, made new contacts and learned new skills which they can leverage elsewhere

- Org also now knows who to contact immediately when there is another opening or new full-time position

A growing company or government office can absolutely benefit from the "overhead" of such extensive parental leave, it's just subtle.
To me, apt-get install always 'just worked'. Same for yum install, emerge etc.

I understand it's easier to ship software as a "almost VM", but imagine everyone doing it... need a browser, download firefox docker image. Video player? docker image! Text editor? Docker image!

If firefox can make it 'just work', and whole (eg.) lamp-stack can 'just work', why not others?

Docker is a relatively new thing, and software worked for decades before that, without any real issues.
I can't speak for other countries, but both parents cannot take parental leave at the same time in Norway. Some choose to use vacation days while the other parent has parental leave, but it's a fair assumption to make that one of the parents were working while the other was on parental leave.

Apple are extracting 100%, or equivalent, revenue to the news providers .. but pay a fraction of the costs incurred to create it, probably 1% of revenue or less for the digital distribution.

If the costs of the news creators to create and administer those news networks was 50% of the revenue, then Apple is taking all of the profit.

Yeah I think you're right about that address, I misremembered.
You only get born once. I think its right of the child, moreso than that of parents, to be looked after at birth. It does not happen that often that we should be talking about affordability.

Yes. Though they did start building it before Olkiluoto 3 was up and running so can't really use all the learnings from it.

> I love my dog probably more than some parents love their kids.

The need for parental leave is not based on the amount of love someone shows.
You can have more, with the "congé parental", which has different conditions though:

You need to have been in your current company at least a year

The duration changes based on the number of children you have. up to 1 year for 1 children, 2 years for 2, 5 years for 3 or more.

It can't be denied by the employer

Your contract is suspended, but the employer has to take you back with an equivalent contract once your back

The (big) downside is that you are paid a small allocation during this time. When you already have a really low salary it can be quite interesting, but when you have a higher salary it can be a big pay cut.

That cost also was supported by significant advertising revenues, including things like a "classified ads section" and "want ads", whole categories that now support separate industries.
You are correct; lebensraum did go hand-in-hand with Hitler's Grossdeutschland. I argue that the Anschluss (the annexation of Austria) was in Hitler's eyes a test of pavement for lebensraum: for an even greater Germany. China's reconstitution of half a century old territories is evidence of this same desire.
They did not follow it just because it was fashionable. They followed it because seating people like that requires like 1/4 of the space and cost of offices, and real estate in big cities is incredibly expensive.

That is a great way to give the suggestion. It is not a great way to check what the reasons are why they did not.

Something like "Have you considered installing GNU coreutils? If so, I wonder what made you choose not to" might do the job. But really "Any reason why you didn't install GNU coreutils via brew" seems to directly ask the question.

It can come across a bit passive aggressive. But I don't think we should concede clear questions to passive aggresiveness.

Indeed.

> This yields the highest income per hours@home.

But that's usually not what people optimize for, they optimize for max total income, because rent or mortgage payments etc aren't based on a percentage of income but fixed amounts. Sure, it's great if you only work one hour a month and get 1000€ for that instead of working 100 hours and getting 4000€. But if your rent is 1100€, what good does that do?

best way to fight disinformation is to
challenge it with true information.

When it comes to pandemic disinformation, there's 200,000 dead Americans who would disagree with that.

A better way to fight disinformation would be to challenge it with... an appeal to popularity.

But if Copernicus or Richard Feynman were alive and on Youtube today, they'd be unknowns compared to PewDiePie.

So neither sunlight, nor an appeal to popularity, are going to help us here.

I may not love censorship, but it beats having some deluded moron shoot at my car in a civil war, or infect me with Covid-19 thanks to a lecture by some Youtube science-ist.

If the choice is stricter Facebook moderation or to live in a new Dark Age... well, you catch my drift.
What's strange is it used to be you would pick up a newspaper at a stand for the day, pay a dollar or whatever, and then have quite a lot of articles to read for that day. But now, it is impossible, the only way is to lock-in. And that may be for the rest of your life if the complaints about the labirynth you may navigate to unsubscribe the nytimes is to be believed. If there was some sort of daily access pass that didn't bother you, require any subscription, perhaps not even ask you to sign up for an email, that would be quite nice.

This may work if Facebook were just a dumb hoster of content. The algorithm promotes content and sends notification in an attempt to generate ad revenue, eyballs and 'engagement'. This is less about censorship. Facebook is not neutral. Since they make this choice of spreading content they should be responsible for its effects. In economics, we call these externalities. Facebook is not paying the spread of misinformation, manipulation or genocide it helps enable (see Myanmar). Asking them to safeguard the platform is just asking them to take responsibility for what their algorithm recommends.
There are tables for sin, cos and arctan, but these are only used for drawing the planet’s circles. All the ship-drawing and universe manipulation is done using the small angle approximation, so there’s no need for lookup tables.

I think if the world switched back to traditional advertising (which on the web for me means contextual targeting) and we stopped allowing third party ads to run a bunch of JS, I'd be willing to switch off my ad blockers. Until then, I'm afraid these publications won't be get paid for my eyes/clicks.
> That said, the harmfulness of different types of waste is not compared in kilograms...

Absolutely, the harm from solar panels dumped in landfills is vastly greater than uranium buried 300 meters deep in bedrock. Uranium's energy density is such that we can afford to spend money on tightly securing the little waste it produces. By comparison, most plans for renewable power generation involve covering 2-4% of the Earth's land in solar panels. This is a vast amount of waste to dispose of, and it's not remotely close to feasible to secure it like nuclear waste.
Just do it...

I moved 3 hours from the CBD and still did 2 days a week, you just need a friend place to crash at one night a week.

Still, you're kidding yourself if you think the average EE or ME, hell pick any STEM field, knows what the hell is going on with linux (not that none do)
If a newspaper is already subjective then they could make money by charging companies to write articles on topics that would influence public opinion to their benefit. That is not a serious suggestion btw ;)
A hack for viewing the video showing the Pulfrich effect:

Grab a pair of 3D glasses and point the side with the linear polarizer towards your LCD screen (it is the one that will not let the screen show through if rotated correctly). You can now adjust the brightness of this image by changing the relative angle between glasses and screen to change the intensity of the 3D effect.

That’s an excellent idea. The issue is there is also soft censorship through algorithm tweaking. A law like this should require third party auditing of the companies.
I usually explain this one in terms of multiple projects: Project A uses postgres-11, Project B uses postgres-12, Project C uses porgres-11 with postgis and also redis.

Having them all in containers and a docker-compose.yml file makes it easier to quickly start an environment for a specific project.

Ofcourse like everything in life, it's a tradeoff, and in this case we're trading in diskspace and some overhead for ease of use and portability.
When people were chucking out their old computers in the mid to late 90s, we managed to get an old 6502 second processor and played Elite on it.

Thanks for the further clarification! If you ran this several times, you could calculate standard deviations or confidence intervals. It would be nice if you could report one such measure, so it's clearer that the differences are not just some random fluctuations. E.g. you could include them as error bars in your plots. You could also run a statistical test (in this case, a t-test is very easy to do) and report the p-value. Those are the things I'd expect my students to do if they'd have to do something like this for a report or a project, because it's the only way for people to judge if differences show clear signal or are just random fluctuations due to measurement noise.

Also: I should've said this in my first post already, which in hindsight might sound too negative: I think this is a cool project and you did a great job! I just thought this might improve the presentation of your results a bit.

I can confirm this. I'm an American living in Norway and I have had two children. My wife is also American, and we moved to Norway while she was pregnant with our first child. Because my wife had not been working we were not entitled to the normal benefits. Time has passed, and my wife got a job in her career field. We are now expecting a third, and because of covid-19 my wife has been unable to work the required minimum during her pregnancy. So we are looking at having a third child without the normal benefits! From the American perspective this is still great. We get "free" healthcare and a nice lump-sum grant, but I (the father) don't qualify for paternity leave and the lump sum grant is not huge in comparison. The grant is like 1/6th of the amount that most families get with their leave.
You are totally right, but for the milk you just bring it to boil and stop. Quickly, 3 times in a row.

We know very well that you theoretically just need to cross the 68°C boundary to cook the proteins of the bacteria.

That's a genius method. Pity you can't do it now in Elite Dangerous as there's a no-fire zone around stations.
> However, if we don't build nuclear, I'm really not sure how much CO2 we're adding to the air and how many more people had to die from pollution before we managed to build enough renewables

To me the achilles heel in this scheme is how long it takes to build a new nuclear power station. This article [0] says that modern nuclear plants are planned to be built in 5 years (this assumes no time overruns which have been common in practice in recent years). I'm not convinced that nuclear will still be relevant in 5-10 years times once it's actually been built.

Of the last 4 Prime Minsters (Johnson, May, Cameron, Brown) of the UK, none of them became prime minister by heading a party who won a majority of seats at an election -- the last person to do that was Tony Blair in 1997. Before then it was Margaret Thatcher in 1979. It's an exception, rather than the rule.

Cameron did win a plurarity of seats in 2010, but his 36% of the vote wasn't enough on it's own.

It's exceedingly likely the next Prime Minister will equally be appointed without a public vote.

Interesting thought. I think one week pass is similar to buying 1 newspapers that is published weekly. If prices align, it’s a reasonable solution. But it’s very important that it either does not auto-renew or it’s very easy to cancel it.
