I've also been similarly able to cold turkey quit opiates taken for chronic pain. I know from listening to medical call-in shows that depending on the dose and frequency, that can be a very bad idea. I feel like there must also be some kind of other variable that factors into whether or not you'll experience adverse effects, or otherwise our experiences wouldn't be possible.

Worst case, you dilute it back down to ore levels and bury it in the ground. Take care to avoid the water table, and it's exactly as dangerous as a lot of the stuff that's already in the ground.
Still working my day development job and now doing about $150k/month in a side project with 10 employees.

- make lists and use them!

- block lunches use them for meetings

- have day job pay your healthcare

- day job work stops on time! no meetings before 9 or after 5

- leverage your “No” to all frivolous time wasters

- focus on day job, side project, family, one hobby for exercise (4-6 hrs/ week)

- get really good at delegating and automating tasks

- hire overseas contractors to do menial, repetitive tasks that can’t be automated

- don’t sell software instead find something “real” that can be enhanced with software

- identify a customer and charge upfront; it’s the only way you’ll learn
If you need to persistently store frontend state in the backend, would it not be easier to use the native frontend data format?

> I don't think I've ever seen a study which has said that the amount of carbon produced by these local changes in biomes is anywhere near the carbon saved by the move to renewables.

Right, but I think you have seen a lot of propaganda about wind & solar being "clean energy" when in reality it's an inflated expectation.

In reality, we're still measuring the negative impact of these offshore wind farms on the climate.

> there are a bunch of ways around this and it's one of the biggest challenges being faced today in the industry

I'm non native sorry, but confused as of how this could be "one of the biggest challenges" if "there are a bunch of ways around this".

> Anyways, take the article with a grain of salt as you should do with everything.

The article bases on what's happening now and not on what might happen when the battery technology will pass a major milestone at industrial level or whatnot.

I think the essence of the article is that renewables are not the silver bullet many hoped it would be.

We seem falling from the top of the "peak of inflated expectations" (from the Hype Cycle).
It may be a minor quibble, but but the irrelevant "From McDonald's" is pretty tiring clickbait. Many of us that now work in the tech industry, whether black, white, etc, have worked these shitty food service and retail jobs, but unless you worked your way up through McD's tech statk from the grill, it just doesn't matter. Of course Mr. Hightower here is just reusing the title of the article, so this isn't a slight against him, but journalist should try harder, even in this clickbait world we live in. I'd hate to think my time working at Hardee's, McDonald's and Walmart has any bearing on my current career.

Self reply to add an addendum ... I almost forgot the follow up.

I've also experienced weird GI pain with no cause and reflux without any indication of reflux (throat looks fine, swallowing is fine, etc.).

For the GI pain, my GP prescribed a relatively low dose (20mg) of Amitrypyline, which is an old anti-depressant. Later, the GI specialist I saw recommended I double this to 40mg.

Apparently it's good in treating idiopathic pain like mine, and I it may have helped me. It's really hard to say because a lot of my pain issues have occurred on and off over long periods of time. So maybe the improvement is just a natural resolution of some underlying issue, or maybe it's the medication.

The theoretical mechanism of the drug is that when taken before bed it helps you sleep more deeply, and during good quality sleep your body is better able to repair itself.

Re the reactions to your pain, I think there is a belief deeply embedded in the American psyche that most any problem can be solved. And mentioning a difficult problem brings out this aspect.

In almost all cases, I like this quality and the underlying optimism it implies, but I also understand how it can be annoying and often come across as unconsciously insensitive.

Sometimes, expressions of sympathy are all that's needed or wanted.

It’s not great if you want to use someone else’s API that way to save on egress bandwidth costs... that’s what. They don’t usually let me edit their Apache configs.

Apache being the only thing to support it also wouldn’t count as great. They specifically mentioned uncertainty around nginx. Have you tested any of your APIs to see if they support it?

The part that doesn't make sense to me is that if your property value 20x's, your value from tax does not go up by 20x, so why is property tax linked to the market value of the property anyway?
I am not all negative to nuclear power but large nuclear reactors is not the way. They are always over budget and delayed. Put the money in next generation nuclear power like small molten salt reactors, batteries and renewables.
That's fantastic and eye-opening. I imagine the next leap will be language translation and with that. The prospect of having support calls with anybody irrespective of language barriers is getting within reach.
Fair comparison here is overall energy invested for energy obtained. For nuclear, as it is much denser energy-wise then anything else, you need to do the least amount of digging per MW capacity / let alone overall produced MWh. Nuclear is orders of magnitude better than other low-co2 options. For example for solar it is about 6, versus 75 for nuclear. [1]

Also instructive to keep in mind just how energy dense nuclear fuel is. [2]

Back when I was kid playing with a C64, it was the DATA section at the end of BASIC programs that blew my mind. If you programmed line 10 wrong with a typo or other syntax sin, then the entire thing would fail. If you had a typo in the DATA section that was (now I know as) Hex, then the program would not fail but glitch, and it was typically with the sound/music of the game. I had no idea what Hex was, but I did realize that it was only 0-9A-F. That made the confusion of 0(zero) and O(upper-case 'oh') less of a problem during transcription. I never understood it enough to modify any of it in a useful manner, but it definitely helped avoid hunt&peck typos for a kid
Oh, didn't see that. You're correct
GET was never the verb under discussion. I specifically listed PATCH, PUT, and POST as being effectively meaningless in practice. You can’t rely on APIs to do what the verbs say they will do.

I only called out GET to say that it is still only a good bet that it will do what it is supposed to do. It’s absolutely not guaranteed. You’ve never encountered GET web routes that mutate backend state? People rely on it —- but that doesn’t make it reliable.

“Throwing away” verbs like GET is not the same as throwing out caching. Please don’t twist my words into what they were not. In practice, you often still need to specify exactly which routes to cache, and how to cache them. Just using GET doesn’t magically make things cached, and you can just as easily cache non-GET routes once you’re specifying what to cache.

Caching can be done for anything. It isn’t some special feature of HTTP or REST APIs.
The point is that nuclear is the only known geographically independent way of generating carbon free energy that isn't subject to intermittency. The redundancy isn't an issue with nuclear, it's an issue of the notion that we need nuclear and renewables. Just cut out the renewables, and only use nuclear. Using nuclear to fill in the duck curve makes renewables redundant, thus the aversion to nuclear of many proponents of renewables.

If storage does become cheap and available, then renewables could be cheaper depending on the price of land and capacity factor of the energy sources. But that's a question of if. We have nowhere near the amount of storage required and no solid plan for reaching the required scale. So it's a matter of burning fossil fuels until we're able to build out orders of magnitude more energy storage.
I wouldn't be surprised if most documentaries are similarly inaccurate. The filmmakers want to tell a story, and good stories are never completely neutral retellings.
Concrete example of how our laws prioritize driver convenience to a comic degree: in California if traffic typically travels above the speed limit on a certain road, the speed limit there must be increased.

A similar law for pedestrians might state that any location where pedestrians tend to cross more than X times/day must be a all-way stop.

Great over all story. Not sure what the McDonalds part has to do with it - a huge number of kids start there.

All good - and I look back at my McDonald days (somewhat) fondly, and it was good experience at doing fairly unpleasant work - but my nights hack and phone freaking and coding had 100x more to do with my success then that first job :)

I had a similar problem, no urologist could tell me anything meaningful. After some time and a gigantic load of stress, I randomly stumbled upon a guy who had the exact same problem as mine. He did a shit ton of analysis, tests and scans. In his case, it ended up being a pain coming from a herniated disc. Coincidentally, he had the exact same disc being herniated as mine - L5S1. Once he told me about that, it all clicked for me, as I usually had pain sitting in a weird position. My brain just couldn’t identify the origin of the pain, and I thought it’s coming from my balls.
Ah, so you're using it in a transport context that has no (built-in) compression?
This is a common misconception. Usage fees (gas taxes, tolls, etc) only cover ~50% of road costs, and that doesn't account for any of the negative externalities imposed on society in terms of air, ground, water and noise pollution.

The rest comes form the general fund.
Interesting, I didn't know that. But "detrimental to The Intercept" seems a little foreboding. It could be interpreted as them saying he's doing his job wrong if it's published elsewhere, and if he does his job wrong, he might assume there would be consequences.
I grew up with the schools here back in the 90s and we largely couldn't pass new parcel taxes because "their kids already went through school and they didn't need it". They were more concerned with all the growing crime, which you would think that maybe the lack of after school programs and growing unaffordability for everyone else was part of the issue.
(With the disclaimer that I still think that unsolicited medical advice is kind of rude.)

If someone is giving you advice which worked for an unrelated condition, you're still ignoring useful information which may help someone you know if you actually bother to pay attention and remember it.

If someone is giving you advice for the same condition you have been diagnosed, you're taking information from authority figures (licensed doctors) over information from someone who is actually in the same boat as you, which seems foolish to me. Certainly un-hacker-like.

By the way, if you look at actual studies, results of surgery done for pain are not very encouraging -- less than half result in pain actually going away.
Sorry, but I can’t agree.

Yes, they are capable of making great software, but it’s exactly what gp said... they don’t think. I’ve seen so much code which looks nice from the outside, abd is all structured. But if you start reading, I’m riddled wtfs and questions about why things weren’t done in a more simple concise and stable way.
Cost matters. If you can build renewable power at a fraction of the price, why go nuclear? We can keep gas as backup until storage solutions are better developed.

If money was no issue you could just build a ton of pumped hydro in Scotland and or batter storage.

And if you absolutely want to spend on nuclear power, spend it in SMRs and molten salt reactors. ThorCon is probably not that far from a working solution if given enough funding.
Author misses the point.

> There are strong differences that will not get smoothed over regardless of how many 'protocols' you define; Wayland is Policy over Mechanism, X11 is Mechanism over Policy.

Why yes, that's the whole point.

I don't know if you've noticed, but "policy over mechanism" has thoroughly won in the desktop space. The dominant desktop is Windows; even macOS has several times the mind/market share that Linux has.

This is pretty much the "Emacs modernization" debate for the desktop as a whole. There is a growing contingent of Emacs users who saw their chosen editor get its lunch eaten by Visual Studio Code, and now wish it was a bit more modern and a bit less... well, less Emacs. Similarly, Wayland was pushed by a large contingent of users who want to see the Linux desktop resemble a successful desktop used by millions to get their work done.

Back when GUIs were brand new and the Unix community was populated by neckbeards, creativity and experimentation in the desktop space was a good thing. Today, those neckbeards have grown older. Time for them is shorter. So even they don't want to experiment anymore; like everybody else they just want to get their fucking work done. Millions of people have gotten work done with the successful model of Windows and Mac, and Linux users want their desktop to resemble the most successful desktops of all time -- not something that is a large pile of hack upon hack with seams constantly showing.

Pushing back against the direction the ecosystem is going will only breed resentment and ill will, because you are committing time and brainpower to a dead end when you could have committed it to making Wayland better.
How long and how much will take to build a next generation nuclear power plant like with a small molten salt reactor ? Will it be like, twice cheaper and twice faster to build ? If so, why is it not happening ?
I don't see that you've really responded to what I've said beyond repeating the previous poster.

I'm not American, climate change is not an American problem it's a global one. It's completely out of the scope of the conversation to require me to explain how you are deficient in your understanding of the nuance of what was actually said by the Congresswoman.

The conversation of Climate Change, Global Warming, whatever has been going on long before AOC even ran for Congress so I really don't see the point you and the original poster I was responding to are actually making by invoking her as some boogie man.

> Maybe it's just my bad luck to have encountered all the ways these verbs aren't used consistently over the years.

No, everyone has done that, especially everyone who's encountered almost any non-REST protocol over HTTP, which almost always ignore HTTP semantics (if you're lucky, they tunnel everything over POST.)

But whether other people use the consistently in their APIs is a very different issue than the claim that they are insufficiently clearly defined so that deciding what you should use in implementing an API that respects HTTP semantics (as REST over HTTP should).
