>That is how it typically plays out when countries go heavy on renewables (same thing happened in Germany). Wholesale prices drop, retail prices rise because of there is too much energy when it isn't wanted.

There is too much energy because obsolete base load plants can't keep up with a modern grid. The primary source of excess energy isn't renewables because we want to use every single renewable kWh. Excess energy is energy that isn't wanted not just because we don't need it but also because we don't like how it was created. Coal plants not only force flexible power generators to turn off prematurely, they also generate CO2. So any insistence on protecting coal plants is completely misguided considering their fatal flaws as a technology.

>it seems likely Big Battery is fixing up losses from installing an unstable amount of wind and solar.

Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? Flexible power generators cannot increase grid instability because their response time is measured in minutes or seconds. You can turn solar panel on/off immediately. You can turn on/off turbines at any time with a slight delay. The Tesla battery stores an insignificant amount of energy so it can't even do what you are talking about. It's primary purpose is frequency stabilization which was usually done with peaker plants and unconventional energy storage like flywheels.
Might as well "head" the output by 10 lines or something then.

We live in a 3 generational family sharing anything but a small apartment and it's absolutely wonderful. Us, the nuclear family, occupies the 3000 sqft house. My in-laws live in the guest house which is about 800 sqft. My parents live about a mile away. We see a lot of each other but everyone has their space.
Put your ask at the top, don't be afraid to use bullet points, keep things short and sweet. Most things can be effectively communicated in 2 or 3 paragraphs - if you need to communicate more than this, send it in a follow-up email after they respond. If you need to communicate more than this, you should really set up a quick call to communicate the thing and ensure they understand, then send the long email afterward.
I like the analogy even though the example code is not optimal too teach the idea.

To the article I would like to add that services can be designed as cooks so each and everyone has a purpose and a separation of concern.
I think the difference is that they expect to not break tests most of the time. So most of the time this just saves time.

It’s like when you merge a documentation PR while the tests are still running: You’re pretty sure that the tests won’t break. With this solution however you’ll still be pinged if they do break, later.
It is an unfortunate association because I love that tripartite symmetry and I think that particular design looks great. Perhaps if I added more colors, I could let people ignore those connotations.

> Who chooses the white list, and why should I trust them?

That's part of the point. There could be different search engines that run the same code, but have different sets of tier 1 domains that cater to different audiences. And if you have the resources, you could set up your own engine with a set of tier-1 domains that you chose.
UTF-16 is the worst of both worlds when compared to UTF-8 and UTF-32. The only reason it exists (and, unfortunately prevalent) is because a number of popular technologies (Java, Javascript, Windows) thought they were being smart when building their Unicode support on UCS-2, and now here we are.

Now, the issue of clipping or reversing strings is a problem not just because of encoding. It simply doesn't work even with UTF-32. You're going to end up cutting off combining characters for example. Manipulating strings is very difficult, and software should never really try to do it unless they know what they are doing, and even then you need to use a library to help you do it.
All the "crap, I got the answering machine instead" anxiety multiplied by also having video to worry about.

It's not Slack's fault, but still having that mode would help things.

That was exactly my thought on reading that part of the article: that the author was describing Pagerank, but substituting Pagerank's design objective of algorithmically outsourcing quality judgments to the global community of website publishers with the programmer's prejudices instead.

I hope the project of improving on DuckDuckGo is successful though, and some of the other proposals in the article sound promising to me.

In the future I would like to see an open source search engine 'paid for' using some combination of homomorphic encryption, blockchain and Tor-style technologies to trade bandwidth and processing power with its userbase in exchange for search results and other services, but I don't have the expertise to assess how feasible that might be.
I do like this. Premature optimisation and over-eager application of DRY / SOLID are problems in software - sure, if you had 20 types of cookie all following the same recipe, abstract it. In his old codinghorror blog, Jeff Atwood suggested the rule of 3 times - the second time you do something, make a mental note, and only on the third time, generalise it.

My usual view of recipes is poor - I always see them being something like this:
1. blophicate the chicken for 5 minutes or until soft (I made up that word but you should be a good enough cook to have some idea what it means)
2. coat with a paste made from the garlic, herbs and butter (you did know you should've made that earlier, right?)
3. now add them to the fat you've been heating up for the past ten minutes (come on, surely you had that ready?)
4. serve on a bed of hand-soaked cous cous, which you prepared yesterday using this mini recipe:

Non user-generated content?
This is an explicit rule introduced at the beginning of most Caltech courses, so the norm is that that behavior is cheating due to being warned in advance.
I've often thought that ad blockers get it all wrong, we shouldn't be identifying the ads to block them, we should be identifying the desired content and serving it up to the exclusion of everything else.

The run-a-server-elsewhere-and-connect model of Brow.sh seems ideal for building something that did that:

- render the page server side

- check for crowd-sourced filters

- apply them

- pass page to user

I'd happy make cryptocurrency micropayments to whoever contributed the filter that de-bloated that page for me.

It would be slow at first, but with a big enough cache and enough users...

You’re misunderstanding that quote. Apple has never claimed they won’t support booting something else (in fact, there are ways to enable this by removing signature checks); they were just explaining how their demo works.
As others pointed out, you can set it up to always upgrade to HTTPS and warn you when it's not supported. But that's not gonna work all the time: some websites will have self-signed certificates (which is better that nothing I guess), some will return 403 or 404 (for HTTPS only), some will just not load after trying for half a minute.
Needless to say, it will discover some details that can only be resolved with a Mega-Ultimately-Large Telescope.

It's the opposite. Low whole sale energy prices in Germany cause policy failures that increase the EEG surcharge.

Here are some made up numbers. If the wholesale price is 0.10€ per kWh but the subsidized price is 0.20€ per kWh then the EEG budget has to make up the 0.10€ difference. That difference is added to the retail price so you end up paying 0.10€ for the electricity itself and 0.10€ per kWh for the EEG surcharge.

Industrial users are exempt from the surcharge so consumers end up paying electricity bills for the biggest energy consumers.

You actually end up paying 0.10€ for the electricity, 0.10€ for the EEG surcharge and 0.05€ for the EEG portion that industrial companies didn't pay for. Total: 0.25€ which is higher than even the subsidized price. Meanwhile industrial users only pay the wholesale price of 0.10€.

Of course I have simplified grid costs and taxes but this is the general problem with the EEG surcharge.

What has changed is that deployments happen 3x faster.

I would guess that this wouldn't introduce more or less build breaks. People will do as they've been doing. The psychological argument can be made that people could be either less safe with their commits, since they have 72 hours to fix any problem breaking a long-running CI job, or they could be more safe with their commits, fearing they'll break a long-running CI job. Personally, I don't think that either position has a lot of strength.
They are mostly the same.
Much better: Aliexpress has zero shipping costs to Europe.

Compare that to shipping costs for Amazon from China. Chinese prices are usually 10x lower than European prices. E.g to make a good ebike you spend €250 on Aliexpress (€50 without battery), whilst in Europe you spend €2500 for a bad ebike.

Both Europe and China have spent tons into improved shipping infrastructure, eg. the new specialized Leipzig airport, Shenzhen, Shanghai.

That's the new Silk Road, not some ship or train lines, which need weeks. Shipping is also important of course. But land corridors are slow, insecure and limited.

The “async-iness” of recipes had always thrown me off until I started coding more seriously. I used to think that the numbered steps represented logical sequences. Now I picture a sort of Gantt chart with multiple lanes of action sequences, which means now I have the rice and potatoes ready by the time the protein is done, instead of 10 minutes later when everything plated has already gone cold lol
I realized in the last year or two that I was never really bad with names, I just didn’t give myself the chance to be good with them. For someone I’ve just met, it takes a little effort to use their name at least once or twice soon after I learn it, and it’s much more likely to stick.

I’m also much stricter with going through the slight awkwardness if I didn’t catch the name first time (even asking to spell it out to be 100% sure). Then afterwards, I’ll write down the name in Notes with something memorable about the person, and where I met them. 99% of the time, I never look at this again. Just like that, name remembered.

Then, I’ll manage not to use a person’s name next time I see them, even when I know it. Oops.

About Slack:

Just don't leave it running in a place where you see it and only check it every hour or so. A virtual desktop far away.

Turn off notifications.

Mute all channels, except ones that really matter to your work.

Feel culturally pressured to respond quickly? Set your status to "in a meeting". That will by default clear after an hour, mind you.

Until your company culturally agrees that "I did not meet my expected output because I was too busy on Slack" is acceptable, you are responsible to do what is needed to get your job done.

Vietnam should bring the case to court and employ some good negotiators. It's the only potentially constructive strategy for them, as outmuscling China is out of the question. If China won't respect the court's decision, the international community can then condemn them, issue tariffs and sanctions and Vietnam could legally fire warning shots and sink their coast guard vessles entering its EEZ.

Honestly, the typing experience for me of the Surface keyboard is perfectly fine... it's just that the form factor makes lap-use difficult. I didn't think it'd be a problem for me, but a year or two in, I felt regret there.

The Surface Book seems like a vast improvement in that regard... but it's extremely expensive, and relied on an overengineered latching mechanism. Dell made a really neat Book alternative, the Latitude 7285, which was really compelling, but by the time I was in the market, they'd abandoned that form factor already. :/
> What could NK conceivably offer China that would pay for getting into a shooting war with another superpower?

In all scenarios I see, it will work the other way around. I doubt that NK military would move a centimetre without Beijing's explicit authorisation.

In any big war, China will use NK as a cannon fodder.

I've found it useful to distinguish between the times I'm asking for something, and the times I'm documenting something.

When asking a question, lead with the question, and put only the bits you need to clarify your question underneath. For these communications, the shorter you can make it, the better.

When writing documentation, you're writing for the future, and should aim for completeness rather than full comprehension immediately -- you want something people can look back at later when they're not clear on something, rather than something that your reader will read in one sitting and remember flawlessly. Your reader isn't going to be able to retain that much stuff.

If you absolutely need your reader to understand some points, I recommend keeping the points as short as possible, and also to your point, asking a question that requires them to have understood what you wrote (e.g. "people who signed up before this date will be grandfathered in, so may see different rates than new customers. Are you aware of any marketing material which might give conflicting information? " -- the answer is probably "no", but in the course of answering that question, they had to understand what you were saying, and as a bonus if the answer is "yes" you've avoided a problem before it happened).

Why can’t there be a solution between “I accept Apple’s vision for how I can use my device” and “turn all the security off”? Why can’t I run my own trustcache, or tell the OS to trust my developer certificate, or write little specially-entitled commands so I don’t have to turn off GateKeeper and SIP and AMFI.

> "Iran says its nuclear programme is entirely for civil nuclear purposes." There has been no evidence that they've had a nuclear weapons program post 2009.

Iran had a 2-3 month breakout period in 2013 [0]. Stockpiling enriched uranium after stating a desire to wipe a particular country "off the map" seems to imply that there was more going on than civilian nuclear weapons.

>It's pretty rich to criticize Iran for foreign meddling when describing a US assassination taking place in a country on the other side of the globe.

US, Russia, and to a lesser extent China meddle the most in foreign affairs across the world. Hell, the US quite literally caused the current Iranian regime to come into existence through foreign meddling. What's your point? This doesn't convince me Iran should be refining Uranium.
