We have a site in Denver, CO USA like that now: the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Reserve. It’s one of many such sites in the US.

The US manufactured triggers for nuclear weapons there, leaving portions contaminated for millennia. They did a major cleanup in the 90’s and built a nice park, but the contaminated core DoE “Legacy Site” has to be maintained and secured in perpetuity. One of the site’s responsibilities is to maintain a very elaborate groundwater contamination remediation system so that runoff doesn’t poison millions. Also, the hazardous waste from the cleanup has to be stored on site as it was legally/practically impossible to transport it out of the state or to any other location in the state.

All of this works for now, but it requires the United States government and all of its successor states maintain this remediation infrastructure for the next few thousand years.

Fork is great, I paid for it happily. It's UI makes sense, radiates the right level of information, and you can use the keyboard almost exclusively. Heavily recommended.
For what it's worth, I usually search with location wide open and am ecstatic when a req actually says "remote" so I don't have to ask.

The various job search sites (e.g. LI and Indeed) don't deal well with "Remote" locations, often putting them as being in "Remote, OR" etc (seriously) hence my trying to factor that from queries.
Maybe because the repo doesn't even have a readme to tell you what it is?

IQ is generally reported as an integer, no?

So a significant number of people have IQs of exactly 100.

How about with joiners and combining characters? Eg. If you encode é as U+0065, U+0301 (\x65\xcc\x81), then search for 'e' and act on the result somehow, you fail to consider the whole glyph.

Yes, they have a cache for decoded operations. It'll hold a certain number but it's sort of inefficient because the fixed width decoded instructions are a lot larger than the variable length instructions so it doesn't hold too many. Because it doesn't help on code with large footprints and not too much time in inner loops you don't necessarily want the number of ops you can get form it to be too much more than the width of the rest of the system if you want a balanced design.
Read this OP. Taking the decision to do something and actually committing to it is the hardest part.
Chrome and 20-50 tabs, and my Intel Macbook can be used as a blow dryer. Assuming Chrome's power needs don't change, it seems that the only way to control for overheating an M1 is going to be throttling down - slowing everything down. Curious how M1 machines feel during day to day usage.
> if you aren't being 100% safe you're just doing pandemic theater

Pandemic theater is a preference for the symbolic over the substantive. It's giving yourself a pass for risky behavior (bars, indoor dining) while sneering at others for actions that are far less impactful ("haha, dumb hicks don't wear masks at the gas station!").

The hicks aren't sick because they won't wear their masks. They are sick because they're doing the same exact thing as you, just more of it. It hardly matters that your tables are spread out, or that you wore your mask while waiting for your reservation. You don't want to sacrifice hanging out with your friends, fine. But it's offensive to use "Science" to justify such a transparently frivolous choice. And I don't see why you should attack people for not wanting to make sacrifices that you yourself refused to.

I tend to write and speak pretty similarly depending on the situation. Something informal like a comment thread, I write a lot closer to the way I actually speak. Though...I probably swear a lot less.

Formal writing though is something totally different.

Whatever kind of writing you have to think of the audience and the tone you want to convey.

When I want to write conversationally, I try and emulate the way I talk, when I want to write in a different way, I change the tone of my writing.

This comment went more towards the formal, explanatory style in the end I suppose.

I've always found context matters the most for the tone of writing though.

Sometimes a natural, conversational style emulating the way you speak is good, sometimes not.

But it's the same for speaking as well. Speaking in front of people or in some kind of formal situation is a totally different kind of speaking than chillin' with your friends at a party.

You don't speak the same way in those two situations, it's the same with writing. It always depends on the audience and the context.
This is only a good thing as long as the trickle down is actually keeping up with cost of living, and when employees actually benefit from the trickle down; you're not going to see that money go to artists, really, for example.

When you have teachers and other necessary basic employees commuting from as far afield as the Central Valley to afford housing, then a correction is needed.
The writing is on the wall. We just have to wait a few months for the shockwave to reach us. A lot of small businesses that closed due to lockdowns won't open again, especially in the entertainment industry.
I hear this all the time from people "drivers working out of the box", but I've been running Linux machines for a decade now, and I've run into very few issues comparatively speaking. My work makes me use a MacBook for work, and it has a lot of significant bugs that are not getting fixed. The trick with Linux is to use a popular distribution. The one thing I will fully concede is that Linux laptops have poor battery life.
That why I put the word budget in quotes. It's the cheapest laptop they make even though it isn't all that cheap.
> most [...] nuclear power can't be easily or efficiently ramped down either.

As you say, most, but naval reactors are very responsive. Responsive reactors can be designed when that property is desired.
I've seen this fantasy before but it neglects the secondary effect that will be the parties adapting their campaigns and policies so they still each win about half the time anyway, just like they always have. It won't somehow turn the US into a one-party system. The party with the easy lead will spend less and be less good until their lead is not so easy anymore.
That's no particular feat, you can heat a forge to 1200C with enough insulation and just 600W. Also, this is just considering a limited referential, ie. the one impacting the most your wallet. If you consider a bigger referential, your efficiency will drop below 1 for sure. Not to mention that your system will leak refrigerant (it's really not a matter of "if" but "when"), which is likely to have greenhouse effects.
I worked as a quant for a power company in Australia. Solar and wind are a great way for power companies to make money and a terrible way to run an industrial society.

Running anything but an aluminium smelter off renewables is impossible. Because people have the nasty habit of wanting elevators to work even when it is raining.

All four of those cities have average incomes less than SF, and all but Paris are less than half that of SF.

is somebody aware of a project where the end-user Browser acts as a Crawler? it already spent the energy to render the content. Readability.js extracts page section, does some processing for keywords, hashes anchor links, signs it and sends it off. Cache-Control response headers indicate if the page is public or private. Of course, where it is sending to will have an electricity bill to pay to index the submissions.

> Ever tried to host multiple apps on a single machine?
Yep works fine. Has been for decades, even before containers existed. Guess what the sites-available and sites-enabled directories for apache and nginx are for.

> Oh look, a custom Nginx config only one person understands.

Just because you put it in a container doesn't mean it's no longer custom or that everyone suddenly understands it.

> Oh look, some hacked up letsencrypt config only one person understands, etc etc.

Plenty of people put their nasty hacks in containers and pod definitions and still nobody (or just 1 person) understands it. Packaging changes none of this; a dirty pod, container, VM image it's all still dirty.

> K8S on a single node does nothing for you network-wise

So does docker, or even an uncontainerized bridge interface

Yep, that it does. But when you only have 1 node, what is the point?

> - Ingress management ("custom Nginx config")

Great, but besides moving complexity from your app to the infra it doesn't help at all on a single node. It actually gets worse: node goes down, everything goes down (app, fallback, load balancing, routing, security)

> - "Environment that feels like a large network and doesn't change if moved to a large network"

So unless you are doing some local development that you later on push to dev/prod, we're talking about feelings. Not much objective to say about that except that it exists.

> What part of this is difficult to understand?

All of it. Shoving complexity and responsibility around doesn't reduce it, and having people make bad software isn't less bad because of the runtime it runs on.

Kubernetes in prod is great, and the envs that go with it (like development and staging), sure. But when you run something in prod, and you need availability, scalability and a host of standardised facilities, then a single node or some magic 'it works by default' config is very far removed from real-world production.

They're a necessary thing if the city has grown dependent on their tax income to provide basic services. The reason Rust Belt cities like Detroit are doing so poorly isn't because of the people who live there or the politicians they elect, it's because their tax base disappeared. And now the city is stuck paying for infrastructure that they can't afford to maintain because the people who paid the majority of city taxes left.

I live in a small town in the Midwest and my town is doing great... as long as the factory stays here. The next town over? The last factory in town left 15 years ago and they've had to close some schools (they're still paying the bonds for those buildings and the land though) and maintain water lines to residential neighborhoods that don't exist anymore and pave roads that only handle 1/4 the traffic they were built for. The big city nearby discontinued bus service to that town a few years ago because it was such an unprofitable line without the factory. The town recently stopped city trash service and now residents have to pay for their own waste disposal, raising the cost of living in a town where economic prospects are decreasing.

An artist may prefer a more down-scale San Fransisco, but if the city has been taking the tax revenue from high-paid engineers and using it to build infrastructure for people who don't live there anymore and don't pay taxes there anymore... well no one likes crumbling roads and collapsing bridges and failing dams and abandoned bus stations. It's really hard for a city to go down a level once it's used to higher tax revenue. They don't turn into SoHo Beyond Broadway, they turn into Detroit and Flint.
MS Office apps have always been (possibly intentionally?) horrifically bad on Mac. Not a great benchmark IMO.

The average Joe user just uses a browser and something like Spotify. Even most word processing by college students is in Google Docs now - very few people I knew bought MS Office for their Macs when I was in college 5 years ago, even with a $99 student license through the school.
I don't see how that is Bumble's fault. She should have escalated the issues with the authorities. Does she expect Bumble to send out their private police force to be her body guard and make a citizens arrest on the stalker?
The status is now showing OK on the website, but I had to force quit my (iOS) app and re-open it to be able to see anything.
The city definitely has its rougher parts. I would not wander around Bayview/Hunter's Point area for fun at night.
Neither are solar or wind farms.
I’m curious what you consider serious work? I write a lot on the iPad, can answer emails, get my shopping done, etc. I definitely wouldn’t use it for programming, but I know some people have set it up to do so.
It is ridiculous, that being said on a per-core basis at a similar wattage Zen 3 is equivalent to the M1 chip, but has an order of magnitude more I/O.
I ran linux for years on my MacBook via Bootcamp. I'd be surprised if Bootcamp ever comes back.
I can totally relate to this. I have always been a completely non-violent person, but I remember the feeling of “I would kill to defend this tiny creature” when I became a dad. It was pretty powerful.
I'm agree
AMA95 is one of the few Caltech classes that I still think about, mostly because it was not useful. Almost all of my other classes have been useful over the years.

I wish that the math sequence for non-math majors had included linear algebra instead.
Why? As others have noted, no income tax. Relatively cheap housing. And while it isn't to my taste, a lot of people like the SW desert climate, it's not the worst thing if you can deal with the blazing hot summers.

There's no real city there but you're near a lot of recreational activities including being within a few hours of some of the best national parks.
Chrome is just awful on a mac. I am not sure why anyone uses it. FF is much nicer to use.

I'm not sure that not being in the government makes a death threat implausible. It may even make it more so. Whitey Bulger apparently ordered a few deaths that were carried out.

Just because you don't speak to them or see them doesn't mean they don't do work. They still have the responsibility of spotting known complications.

Theoretically it could be replaced with a large database but that is a major undertaking to encode once, let alone keep it up to date. In practice there are also trade-offs and judgement calls like "Yeah this may cause kidney failure but living on dialysis is better than dying of cancer."
The "best earners" in the Bay Area tend to own homes in the foothills (or Atherton). They're not leaving, at least any more than they already do because they own homes everywhere else too. Folks in the Mission, SOMA, Mission Bay, Nob Hill tend to be junior engineers at tech companies. They will likely be back when they realize that being close to the actual best earners (VCs, angel investors, and executives) is the best way to advance their careers.

They are really good at cracking down violently on indigenous resistance to land appropriation and resource extraction, so they are performing their function, and these spying powers serve that function well.

There are quite literally millions of ARM devices out there that will never have Linux support, and millions more are being produced each year.

When it comes to ARM SoCs, Linux requires vendor support to get it running. If you want mainline kernel support, that requires even more work that many vendors just aren't providing.

A locked bootloader is just one issue to overcome for Linux support. A lot of the real issues come down to the lack of an enumerable bus on ARM SoCs, along with a lack of drivers.

Without vendor support from Apple to support Linux, these devices will be like the millions of iPhones and iPads that don't run Linux and will never run Linux.

Most ARM SoCs that are sold explicitly as mini Linux computers also have this problem. Many of them are stuck on old kernel forks, because vendors didn't give the proper support their SoCs needed to run a mainline Linux kernel.

tl;dr: For Linux to be a viable option on Apple's SoCs, Apple needs to put in a lot of work to explicitly support Linux. Without that vendor support, you will never be able to download a Linux ISO and install it like you can on an x86 Mac.
> If someone doesn’t want to wear a mask that is their choice. Your choice is to avoid situations where you might be in contact with people who don’t wear masks. It’s not to force everyone into your beliefs.

Would the same principal apply if the other person had ebola?

What about someone like Typhoid Mary - should her right to do what she wanted be placed higher than the rights of others not to be infected?
In my mind, the situation is so drastic because (I would expect) the massive population flight will have long-term negative implications for the tax base, which means less money for social programs and upkeep of city infrastructure. Judging by the lack of sanitation in many of the city's neighborhoods, my uninformed guess is that there was already a lack of such funds before COVID hit.

The impact of this flight on the tax base could be even more severe if the people leaving are higher-than-average earners (which, given their mobility, my guess is they are).

Moving to a new city is a non-trivial life change, and once people move, they're unlikely to move back anytime soon. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I can't help but wonder if we'll be comparing San Francisco with Detroit in 5 years. I hope I'm wrong.
I pay like 7$ a month for a few domains and aliases. Not sure what you consider expensive but for such a crucial service as email i think its fair. Most my domains are just forwarded, guess i save a lot on that front tho
I don’t think it will make a huge difference for their profits unless the (modest for the mini, significant for the 13” MBP, nonexistent for the MBA) price cuts significantly move more volume. Apple is notorious for sticking to consistent profit margins and stuffing in as much value as they can to meet their target price points. I would expect that their margins on the MBA are ~20-25%, and ~30% on the rest of the Mac line, just as it’s been since at least the original iMac.
Every time I see hysterical comments (not from you) about how terrible it would be if excess solar and wing power regularly crashed the price of electricity I see and opportunity instead. Seriously regular periods where electric power is 'free' is a serious opportunity. You could smelt aluminum, electrowin iron. Run electric furnaces in mini-mills.
> Apple only does high-end products

I know this gets repeated often, but this is simply not true. Apple _does_ make high-end products, and they market themselves as a high-end brand, but Apple has always filled as many market segments as they can. There are plenty examples that prove this statement wrong: iPod Shuffle, iPhone SE, the $250 iPad. They never do deep discounts on their products though, so when they age or go stale they are far overpriced; and they do _not_ make value or budget models.
> What is wrong with the concept of a heat pump?

Something overlooked is that heat pump will leak refrigerant. It's not really not a matter of "if" but "when", physical systems fail.

Refrigerants are pretty nasty greenhouse gases.
I second this. This doesn't really replace my laptop or tablet, but it 100% replaces the notebook I carry everywhere for notes.

I've had mine for about 4 weeks now, and I'm still consistently using it every day.

It's fantastic for planning, diagramming (I use this to capture measurements and dimensions for items I'm going to be making in CAD software), getting signed forms, taking notes, and sketching.

The hardware is delightful, even for left-handed folks like myself, where other tablets often make erroneous marks where my hand is resting.

Now, all that said, the software can still come along way. My single biggest gripe is that I haven't found a way to search for text within notes. I'd really love to have an option to automatically convert handwriting to text on save/close and keep that around as meta data for searching.

I may play with implementing it at some point - A large part of the reason I bought the device was because of the open ecosystem. I do software dev for a living, and knowing that I can get into the device as root and muck around REALLY makes it feel like it's mine.
Fair point! But by slowing everything down, they're constantly reminding me that they're the MITM on everything. I'd think it they could offer a smoother customer experience with direct device connectivity and periodic cloud check-ins that happen behind the scenes. They'd still be able to gather tons of data, but users would get a snappier app.
That's an interesting point...I wouldn't trust the `Cache-Control`, unfortunately, but a distributed indexing model might be interesting...
