Were funds appropriated to build gas stations?

And also: considering the progress that’s been made with EVs in just the last 5 years, project that out and it’s going to be a situation where you’d have to be mad to buy a gas car over electric in 2030. That’s a full 10 years from now. New gas cars won’t be price competitive by then.

If you don’t believe me just take a look at what Volkswagen is doing with their upcoming EVs.

So, sure, they’re being “banned,” but I really do wonder who in their right mind will be wanting to choose a gas car for a brand new vehicle in 2030.
That depends entirely on the intention with which an author decides to publish their code as open source. That intention could be to forge an active connection with a community of users, or it could simply be to just get it out there to anyone's benefit, rather then have it gathering dust in some private git repository, with no further engagements or obligations on the author's part.

The open source license included with the code doesn't say anything about the author's intentions at all.

> That's the whole point of open source.

The whole point of adding an open source license to your code is to share code with others with virtually no strings attached. That is, neither from the user's side, but also from the author's side. Everything else is just custom and market dynamics.

> Linus Torvalds understood that all too well, and still does. He's not a philanthropist. He's pretty rude and selfish (he admits that about himself), and that's exactly why the open source approach worked so well for him.

When Linus decided to push the GPL on his code, he couldn't possibly predict or foreshadow that his little hobby project would end up being this successful. His original intention was simply to gather as much feedback as he could to improve his project. In fact, it would take until version 0.12 before he'd add the "GNU copyleft" license. And that's only after some people pointed out to him "Have you considered adding a copyleft license?" [1]

The open source approach worked well for him because it facilitated the spread of Linux towards key people in large public institutions and commercial organizations for whom Linux simply, accidentally happened to be a good, cost effective fit. Linux was released in 1991 and barely a few years later, with Dell, Red Hat, IBM offering commercial support and Red Hat and VA Linux having IPO's around 1999.

Linux wasn't just successful because "open source". It was successful because it turned out to be the right product at the right time at the right place. And that's what really drives development.
When you call it free labor, you’re missing the other side of the reality.

A coworker at a corporation might be working for free on the project I’m working on, but the fact that they make $0 salary doesn’t mean I do any less work when I have to interface with them and work off their contribution. Also, I’m paid $0 for the pleasure. It costed both of us.

So, no, free labor really isn’t the right way to see it. It’s more complex than that.

When I don’t keep up with PRs and issues, I’m deciding the pay off isn’t worth it in that moment. None of it is free. I have all sorts of projects on Github that you’d have to pay me $1000 to even clone again. I wrote them in one stage of my life that I’m not in anymore. That’s just life.

NM wiring is extremely common in every state (except for Illinois) and NM is allowed without restrictions in multi-family stick-built housing up to four stories. You must live in Chicago or some other restrictive AHJ.

Of course they have access to the metrics.

Codeberg, which is tested here, is hosted on Gitea.

A separate comparison would be needed to test the performance of self-hosted options. This comparison is meant to test hosted options, and in order to be fair, that has to also account for their hardware configuration, network situation, and so on, so simply adding a vaguely defined "Gitea" measure here would not be fair.
I don't disagree with point #1 but can you honestly say you've never purchased something that you truly believed would work better than it did? I'm pretty sure the OP did not intend to rip out his system and waste £6k when he started this project.
Why should we set aside taxes? Texas is allergic to taxes and the state government loves to keep itself running on a shoestring budget, but as we can see here, that's just robbing Peter to pay Paul. Adequate funding to run a proper audit and risk management program is definitely the way to go.
I would seriously question the overall competence of any electrician who ran any low voltage cable in direct contact with AC power cables. This practice is not permitted by the electrical code. An electrician who does not respect that code requirement might be cutting corners with the code in other areas, too.

While the level of knowledge among electricians regarding network wiring is gradually increasing, the conventional wisdom for anyone who wants network wiring installed professionally is to hire a contractor that specializes in low voltage wiring.
> Wirelessly linked smoke alarms are becoming extremely common now in the UK

Also becoming a baseline feature in detectors in the US, in my experience. New houses have been using wired interconnect for a long time now, but in the last couple years I've helped several older relatives upgrade their smoke detectors and even the cheap ones have wireless interconnect now.
I'm seeing "x accepted pull requests" on resumes frequently now. Not every PR is made in good faith nor made with the same motivation as the maintainer. Someone making dozens of individual PRs for things like adding CONST to variables whose future use they do not understand is a drain on the maintainer's time. For the person making the pull requests, they get a low effort way to pad their number of accepted pull requests, many of which are not in alignment with the goals of the maintainer or the project.
And the demand for second hand cars will explode, prices will increase and the poor will be most affected.
We need to get out of this rut of UX/UI design. UX/UI designers’ existence itself is based on generalized condemnation of a group of people: “Engineers are bad at designing and aesthetics.” Every time that’s brought up, I roll my eyes.

The truth is there are some outstanding UX/UI designers and there are some really bad engineers who design terrible unfriendly shit. The reverse is more common from what I’ve seen.
My experience is the opposite - Rails projects tend to have tests and maintaining is easy because the test suite is end to end and means something.

That said, Rails projects without tests aren't fun. Besides missing tests, I've also seen fat controllers, bad schema design, and not using Rubocop make more issues with maintenance, but usually I interpret as lack of understanding how to use Rails, not Rails being to blame.

There's no vacuum in "power projection". Since US gives up control of Middle East, China and Russia would be there soon. Maybe for good, this is how USSR ceased to exist.
The way I see it, he (and any other maintainer who chooses to do the same) is perfectly within his rights to do this. They're his projects after all, it's up to him how to run them.

That said, if a contribution of mine is ignored in a project (and a few have been), that usually becomes my last contribution to the project. Afterwards, I often choose to instead invest my efforts in other projects.

Ultimately, by Linus's law, those projects that accept the most contributions and/or foster the most active communication ought to raise to the top. I think that we simply can ignore back the projects that ignore contributions; they're the ones who end up losing out, as far as I've seen anyway.

> It's not other people's bugs. It's your bugs.

It's not a bug if it doesn't affect my use-case. It's undefined behaviour at most.

It might even be a bug if you compare to my specification, but, again, unless I have some reason to care about it (money, wanting the project to be good) then it's not a bug.
I think we are on different pages here. I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, maybe you can clarify please.

For a maintainer to say, or suggest, “don’t bother even opening an issue or PR in my project, because I will take it as an entitled offensive against me,” is just fostering an environment where nobody will open issues or push PRs. Why would they? There is no longer any presumption of good faith discourse there.

> “ The argument presented here smacks of the type of entitlement that led many other open source developers to leave”

Are you trying to say that I am presenting an entitled opinion, because I am saying that there is a give and take to healthy social interaction?

Ignorance over malice. If someone opens a shitty or entitled ticket, teach them why it is such and educate them on how to open a better ticket or steps to take to solve the problem themselves. If they do it again, ok, now you know they are not interacting in good faith. You as a maintainer have that responsibility, just like the user taking advantage of your work has a responsibility to not act entitled to it.

> Trolls hoping to test the boundaries of Parler’s commitment to free speech and get a rise out of its users began, often vulgarly, impersonating prominent Trump supporters and conservative publications.

> Parler responded by banning the impersonating accounts, including some inoffensive parodies.

(The linked article seems to have some bias towards supporting Parler, so they may be giving Parler the benefit of doubt and framing it as a reasonable measure.
BTW, kudos to parent comment for linking to a source like this - because of the article's bias towards Parler, there's no doubt to a random reader like me that these bans happened, as opposed to if it was reported by a politically opposed source. )

> A seeming[1] blanket ban of Antifa supporters from the platform, announced by founder John Matze, might be similarly understood as an antiharassment measure.

This is great news.

Biggest question: Can I send SMS, on this phone, from another computer?

The biggest reason I ditched my iPhone for Android was the excellent implementation of in-browser messaging, to and from my phone, on any computer with a web browser.

I don't need to be able to text from "any computer with a web browser", but if I could send SMS from Win / Mac / Linux machines that I owned, that would be a huge incentive for me to give this platform a shot.

The UK is small, it's smaller than California alone, and most people will be able to charge their cars at home.

Far more important than a charging station network is investment in on-street charging for people who don't have access to a garage.

Charging at home is far more important than charging on the road.

In any case, a grid upgrade will not be required. The "grid overload" story is fossil fuel industry propaganda. You can find the details here: https://www.virta.global/blog/myth-buster-electric-vehicles-...

...but the salient point is that if 80% of all passenger cars become electric, this would lead to a total increase of 10-15% in electricity consumption. (Far, far from the "order of magnitude" claim.)

And even this ignores the vehicle-to-grid features of modern EVs, which can actually put power back into the grid during periods of high demand.

Bigotry is the failure to understand the other. It's literally in the definition!

To understand the other is to win against bigotry.

Don't destroy the world with bigotry disguised as righteousness. Most peace processes start with the humanising of the other and the identification of shared commonalities. Bigotry is against peace and coexistence.

To advocate for not understanding people is to destroy the world. I get why people don't want to understand others (see above comment) but I would not encourage it.

The Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory is relevant here:

Except it isn't actually anonymity (or pseudonymity) per-se, as the phenomenon has long existed in many other contexts as well:

https://youtu.be/kFHT1lw3vSI

You can probably generalize to something like "technologically mediated assholism", but there is more than one thing happening here, such as:

+ Filter bubbles/homogeneous in-group opinions lead people to becoming more extreme in their views.

+ Observing some rando (it doesn't have to be an authority figure, although that helps) "say the quiet part out loud" is validating, to say the least.

+ Lack of f2f contact leads to thinking of individuals as impersonal abstractions, and in particular, as the "other".

+ The pathetic fallacy applies to groups just as it does to inanimate objects.

+ Text communication often causes people to misread tone.

+ The affective fallacy (the assumption that the effect of an action was the intent behind it) becomes particularly powerful because of the former two points.

+ The affective fallacy seems to operate in reverse too: Someone informing you of an outcome seems like they are making a claim about your intent.

+ No-one is a villain in their own story. On the internet, everything is a story, and if the story is about someone like you, obviously they can't be a villain either.

+ Exposure to information that conflicts with (even weakly held) beliefs tied to a person's identity often triggers defensive rejection of the new information and strengthens those beliefs.

+ Group dynamics are in play for public interactions, so there is always a performative aspect even for ostensibly 1-to-1 communications. This often doesn't get turned off for private electronic channels such as email.

And so on. A lot of these mental quirks are like ratchets that only ever tighten. Although each in isolation is often self limiting, the limiter can be bypassed by some other quirk, after which the ratchet can tighten some more.

I agree that they did a fine job given the constraints at the time. But by getting rid of x87, ... they would have used less size, power, R&D. SSE was circa 1999 and they could have just supported that.

They being AMD. The counterargument being that if AMD had been too aggressive, Intel could have done something more conservative. However, then there's the cross licensing agreement ... Arggh.

I do, I truly do care. So much that I'm looking at open-source/Linux options, at least for my home projects. Doesn't look very bright on the video side, but DaVinci Resolve is at least available for Linux. Rawtherapee is getting there with local adjustments as we speak. Darktable has lots of power but terrible UX.
With a helicopter, even if you lose the motor (lift) you still have control by adjusting the pitch, angle and ratio of the blades.

A quadcopter depends on the motors for any control. While it is possible to regain control after a single motor failure on a quadcopter, it's extremely difficult and not something a human pilot could do, so you'd be relying on software. Also, if you don't detect the failure instantly, the craft will flip over before the software can react because of the inherent instability.

Any solution where you have some kind of passive lift and inherent stability (eg. parachute, wing, etc.) is always going to be much safer.
How to have a creative partnership at work

It’s not just the building of distribution points, which can be at home. It’s the sheer overall volume of electricity consumption going up per household, sometimes even an order of magnitude.

Most electrical grids will need to be upgraded to accommodate this. This is doable, but costs money and takes time.
Upon the _modern_ prevalence of Socratic logic:

>The second great tool of scientific work, the rational experiment, made its appearance at the side of this discovery of the Hellenic spirit during the Renaissance period. The experiment is a means of reliably controlling experience. Without it, present-day empirical science would be impossible. There were experiments earlier; for instance, in India physiological experiments were made in the service of ascetic yoga technique; in Hellenic antiquity, mathematical experiments were made for purposes of war technology; and in the Middle Ages, for purposes of mining. But to raise the experiment to a principle of research was the achievement of the Renaissance. They were the great innovators in art, who were the pioneers of experiment. Leonardo and his like and, above all, the sixteenth-century experimenters in music with their experimental pianos were characteristic. From these circles the experiment entered science, especially through Galileo, and it entered theory through Bacon; and then it was taken over by the various exact disciplines of the continental universities, first of all those of Italy and then those of the Netherlands.

What did science mean to these men who stood at the threshold of modern times? To artistic experimenters of the type of Leonardo and the musical innovators, science meant the path to true art, and that meant for them the path to true nature. Art was to be raised to the rank of a science, and this meant at the same time and above all to raise the artist to the rank of the doctor, socially and with reference to the meaning of his life. This is the ambition on which, for instance, Leonardo's sketch book was based. And today ? 'Science as the way to nature' would sound like blasphemy to youth. Today, youth proclaims the opposite: redemption from the intellectualism of science in order to return to one's own nature and therewith to nature in general. Science as a way to art? Here no criticism is even needed.

As a wingsuit pilot I would disagree. Donning the suit is a little more complicated than just strapping on a skydiving rig and you need a fair amount of experience to successfully fly one to begin with. Your parachute system threads through the wingsuit, you still need to tighten leg straps inside the suit before zipping up, tighten a chest strap after zipping up, then zip the arm and leg wings and exit the aircraft with a correct body position and delay to avoid slamming into the tail depending on what type of aircraft it is. It takes a few minutes to put everything on while on the ground, I can't imagine trying to put everything on while a plane is out of control and get it all adjusted properly during an aircraft emergency. Wingsuiters suit up on the ground before boarding so all that's left is to zip up your arm wings and leave the aircraft.
Pretty much, yeah. If the software is genuinely high quality and useful, or if it at least has potential, then expertise in it is valuable and worth paying for.
