For me what would be better is ,,Okay, I don't want to play it all through, just give me the first half, and take your time with the second''. But maybe it's because I'm not a fast player generally. Anyways, companies compete how they can, I vote with my wallet.

This is stupid. Burning gas on-site for heat is far more efficient than burning something far away, turning it into electricity at max 60% efficiency (usually more like 30-40%), transmitting it through the grid, and then putting it through a resistance heater.

If all or even most of that electricity were renewable or nuclear you'd have an advantage in terms of CO2 there, but it's not. Renewable can peak out at >50% of power during the day, but it's also important to note that heat and cooking needs usually peak at night. It's out of phase with renewable supply.

Politicians can set the what, but never ever let them specify how. They are not qualified. Set a CO2 target and let actual engineers figure it out.
Some of use use Emacs+OrgMode in Termux. Then synchronize with git+ssh. Works well enough for my needs.

Author here. The article is nominally about Dart, but really it should be useful to anyone wondering about the different approaches languages taking to representing the absence of values. I've seen a lot of questions and confusion over the past couple of years between option types (Scala, Swift, Haskell, Rust) and nullable types (Kotlin, TypeScript, Dart). This article is my attempt to try to show the similarities, differences, and trade-offs between those two approaches.
So it's the academic scholar's equivalent of CMake?
> I used to care terribly about style, until I realized I just care about consistency and readability. Otherwise I don't give a shit, and having a tool available to everyone makes such a difference.

I had the same thing. Also consistency and automation is what's really important, as it extinguishes every need for style discussions. Because you can trivially convert from the project style to personal styles and vice versa using things like Git attributes[0], as long as it is consistent.

It's notable that a lot of people are moving, but I'd wait until at least early 2022 to make judgements about lasting impacts on SV. WFH might not stick widely, and some firms will pick a hybrid model (i.e. partial WFH) over going fully remote.

Not to mention that few places can match all the benefits of SV, i.e. unenforceable non-competes, fantastic weather and surroundings, an educated and diverse population, cultural activities, very high compensation, etc. I don't think it'll be as easy to displace SV as these articles regularly imply, despite the downsides of living here.
For me, it is impossible to cook properly on anything but a well controlled flame. Humans have used fire for millennia to cook our food. Making the modern, reasonable version of this illegal is an oppressive idea. Why should the restaurant industry be allowed to continue to use gas but I can't use it at home to make my own meals? Quit trying to control everyone.

It's impossible to mock functions when testing class-based components if you utilize ES6 arrow functions.

"Jest can only mock the structure of objects that are present at require time. It does it by reflection (not by analysis), which means that properties that get added by the constructor cannot be mocked. It's important to understand though that a fat-arrow assignment in a class in JS is not a class method; it's a class property holding a reference to a function.

My suggestion to that would be that you change the fat arrow assignments to standard methods and bind them in the constructor. That way they will be Jest aware. Otherwise I'm afraid there's not much we can do here."

>> But I bet 14 full rides to college on $8MM is a greater impact on education than what the state achieves with the same amount

When I was in college, I did some pharmaceutical testing with a local company. We had three colleges in the area so it was perfect for recruiting healthy males between the ages of 18-35.

They came out with some advertising showing they paid college kids more money in six months than the state did in tuition support at all three colleges combined. It was enough to get the state's attention and got them involved in how they both could be doing more for the state's college system. I know at one point the company was donating a LOT of money to all three colleges Pharma school and hiring a lot of their students. It provided them a nice pipeline of talent.

EDIT: The company was out of North Dakota. All the stuff we tested was already FDA approved. Most of the studies were companies looking to get less expensive generic forms of those drugs into the market. Here's some of the tests I was in:

- Naproxen

- Sudafed (it was a nasal variety for decongestion)

- Diclofenac

- Zinc Acetate

- Doxycycline
In addition to the long commute, those areas are still expensive, not as nice, schools aren't as good, etc.

It's like telling someone who lives and works in Santa Monica to live in Anaheim 'because it's all technically LA'.

Yeah you can always have massive sprawl, horrible commutes, and really inefficient infrastructure. Which leads to a worse outcome for everyone except the people that already own in Palo Alto that bought decades ago, pay no property tax, and restrict supply to protect their 3M dollar house valuation and 1000% return on that.

We should build more housing in all of these locations, but Palo Alto is one of the worst offenders for blocking new housing and keeping people out.

You can say the exact same thing about all forms of marketing. By your logic, companies should never be allowed to advertise. Incumbents would love that.

Affiliate systems are the marketing equivalent of gig work. The quality of both product and affiliate are quite variable, but a good product and good affiliate are a strong net positive for society. Again, to use my case as an example, we have API integrations that we wouldn't have otherwise had and video tutorials in languages that we don't speak. Our customers love our product, I'm not ashamed to reward them for talking about it.

If you think every product should sell itself by 100% organic word of mouth... well, that's the rare exception, not the rule. If you're trying to build a business this way, you're in for a rough time.
I suspect if they did that a lot of people would buy propane for cooking. I know most people who care about food use gas to cook.

Induction cooktops are pretty close as far as speed of adjusting temperature, but they still aren't hot right away, and are really expensive and require specific (more expensive) cookware.

Once you are the top-committer in a project, you have the advantage. You know most of the code, even if it doesn't have tests. It's easy to figure out where reported bugs are, that you have introduced. Meanwhile, the rest of the team is busy reviewing your code and rebasing their PRs.

I have seen this pattern so many times. It'a a good strategy to be recognized by management.

Also what happens when the top-committer leaves, suddenly the rest of the team can breath and flourish.

There are Twitch affiliates and Twitch partners. Twitch partners are under contract, although you can still make decent money as an affiliate. Partnered streamers are the ones that have more restrictions as to where they can stream. Most of the streamers making the biggest amount of money are going to be partnered and attached to Twitch.

I don't have a lot of advice on a new streaming platform. As a user, I like usernames, emotes, the ability to gift subscriptions, and no mid-roll ads. Any streaming platform that wants to take off also needs to have a built-in way to create a shareable "clip" from a live stream.
The claim is that Newton figured out the dates from the Book of Daniel. The book of his about his conclusions was published in 1733 (he died in 1727) and is available in different formats:

Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Observations-Upon-Prophecies-Daniel-A...

1733 original:

https://archive.org/details/observationsupon1733newt

Some PDF version:

http://www.historicism.com/Newton/newton.pdf

One author (Matania Z. Kochavi) writes that it can be seen that Newton wrote that believing he was personally chosen to understand the hidden code in the Bible, and when and how there will be the Second Coming of Christ, and "end of times" based on such logic like "flowing water represented a friendly
encounter, whereas a flood symbolized war; similarly, a single boat sailing at sea
was an image of friendship, whereas a flotilla represented a battle." or "three sets of symbols" "appeared in various places throughout the text. One set was composed of metals:
gold, silver, copper, and iron. The second set used symbols from the animal
kingdom: the lion, bear, leopard, and the "Fourth Beast." The third set made use of
the ram and the goat."
This measure may not be the right thing, but isn't it also controlling in a different way to change the composition of other's atmospheric gases in a harmful way? Just because it is diffuse responsibility doesn't mean it is less controlling in aggregate.

I grew up in Lake Tahoe. and in 1982 - there was the biggest winter in over 100 years - we had 30 feet of snow, and no power - and we cooked all our food on the wood burning stove.

I had deliver care packages to the various tourists who got stuck in their houses due to the snow - and we would have people come to our house to bath because we had hot water....

I recall making popcorn each night on the stove...

Wood burning stoves are the best!

Any sufficiently large group activity can become analogous to the family

Sharing a government of a country, a university president, an artistic director of a theatre, a religious leader or council of elders, a chief executive officer, the heads of a political party or mvmt, author of a media IP with a fandom, leader of a reinterpretation of an artistic work that has its own following

All of these things create little societies that are smaller than all of humanity. These all are modeled off of family dynamics and to minister over them requires the community toown their own language the languages which leads naturally to the Tower of Babel problem.

The Tower of Babel problem which is that translation of language/dialect/accent/jargon from one group to another is cognitively taxing and anticipation of that work makes us angry/despairing on an emotional level

If everyone understood that these groups were different expressions of the same format we could all work together and the laws could be much simpler in one respect and more complicated in others (eg banning discrimination on the basis of race/creed/ethnicity/nation of origin/gender/age could remove the inexhaustible list of possibal tribal categories but they'd need to add some kind of Code of Conduct like a programming language has to handle their conferences and email groups)

Right on. The parallels between modern woke culture and medieval religion are too numerous to list. But both seem to involve living in a constant state of apology and self-hatred.
One wonders if he and his family felt it was better to sell now than later, because for all Dylan’s recognized greatness as a songwriter now, popular tastes can drastically change, especially now that guitar-based music is being eclipsed. There has been a lot of discussion recently about how young people’s familiarity with Elvis or even the Beatles is dwindling, and Dylan’s most acclaimed work was recorded in the same era as them.
Weather aside, I really enjoyed living in Amsterdam. It is a crowded and rather small city, but it is a big center for banking and tech. Europe doesn’t really do the sprawling mega cities like the US does, though everything is very well connected. Still though, that headline is a bit overblown.

It’s bad, but it’s mostly bad because Teams is bad. It’s still better than Amwell, which somehow manages to have multi-second latencies and requires me to manually mute my video preview to stop it looping back my own audio.

The old P2P Skype had better video quality and latency, even when talking to people 4000 miles away, than every video product I’ve used in the last year. Probably not coincidentally, every video product I’ve used in the last year has been web-based. WebRTC is an enormous disappointment.
Using then() doesn't pause execution of the callsite function, while await does. Surely that's a relevant difference here?

It doesn't seem unreasonable to use then() to express: "Run this anonymous function whenever the async thing completes. Meanwhile let's do this other stuff right now."
Yeah, I typically use Electrify America (range anxiety has been replaced by "is the charger broken anxiety" and EA is hella reliable), and they don't support Plugshare.

There's another discussion here on this topic based on the article from qz.com / undark.org entitled "Experts are sounding the alarm about the hidden dangers of gas stoves":

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25332332
It's purely a regression on latitude, temperature, and asthma prevalence by age group. I'm not suggesting that cold weather contributes to gas usage. Gas stoves / heat are more common the further north you get.
I haven't used Windows in many years, but back in the day adware would get itself bundled with native applications' installers - for example, you download and install Java on Windows, they try to trick you into installing a toolbar.

Once your adware is installed as a native application, you simply install two copies, each of which immediately reinstalls and restarts the other should it get removed/stopped.
To be fair EKS is bottom of the barrel. Things are a lot better in GKE land.

AWS never wanted EKS to be a thing, that is why it's overpriced and not very good.

Unfortunately ECS is crap and Fargate can't save it at this point.

Hopefully they get over that soon and make the industry standard stuff like EKS and MSK good and actually price competitive with running it yourself (accounting for ease of management premium ofc).
Affecting is a word that is distinct from controlling, I think the concepts have a relationship but aren’t the same.
We all exhale CO2? Is your breath controlling me!??
Same here. I like the "idea" of four seasons. But after living in socal, I discovered I really only need a few days a year of the cold wintery weather. And then I'm over it. I get that from travel. Not to mention how summers are so much hotter in the Midwest and south.

Mid 70s and sunny is hard to beat. It's like an eternal spring.
I think the idea is that you combine with solar panels. Onsite solar and electric heating is carbon free production.
> Humans have used fire for millennia to cook our food

Yeah, sure but certainly not from a gas flame.
If you're working on the content and the looks at the same time, and you don't 100% know where the project is going, it's helpful to consider them as a combined unit, so you can alter and/or discard that unit without delving into separate CSS and HTML trees. (Or, worse, not being sure what HTML or CSS you should alter or throw away when its corresponding CSS or HTML ends up in the garbage).

Separate content and presentation is a great final outcome, but when a project is in flux as it's being built, it's a burden.

EDIT: Moreover, it's not just that the "ship has sailed long ago"; the ship was attacked and sunk. Frameworks that combine CSS and HTML aren't doing so out of neglect; they're aggressively rejecting the separate looks/content paradigm.
> Why should the restaurant industry be allowed to continue to use gas but I can't use it at home to make my own meals?

Simply put, they shouldn't. But they have more money and thus more political sway to get carve-outs.
I’ve found induction cooktops to be superior in many ways to gas.

There are zero hotspots so food doesn’t scorch.

The one I used heated up equally as fast as gas.

I love that this guy pulled this off. It's a great story.

I was reminded of the story of Mohan Srivastava[1], an MIT/Stanford-trained statistician, who found a flaw in the Ontario Lottery's "Tic-Tac-Toe" instant game. There's a great quote from Mr. Srivastava re: his morality and exploiting the flaw he found:

"People often assume that I must be some extremely moral person because I didn't take advantage of the lottery," he says. "I can assure you that that's not the case. I'd simply done the math and concluded that beating the game wasn't worth my time."

I think even if you stipulate for purposes of discussion that a lot of companies in the tech space broadly and elsewhere are going to be more flexible in the future, that still leaves WFH/Remote to cover a lot of territory:

- WFH or in-office 2-3 days per week

- Office every Wednesday

- Team get-together once a month

- Remote in the same/adjacent time zone

- Remote anywhere you want that we can legally hire you (seems unlikely)

- Remote pay-adjusted (or not)

- Whether there is an office or not

In general, I expect the extreme cases will be fairly rare but pretty much every one of the scenarios (as well as whether they're mandatory or optional) will drive different decisions relative to 5-days a week in the office.
I thought I wanted four seasons when I first moved here, but after a few years I found a short trip to Tahoe quenched my entire desire for winter in a week or less, and I was glad to come back to no snow to shovel. I can't imagine going back to the northeast, and I would melt in the south.

Amsterdam is a pretty expensive city(for Europe, I know it's cheap compared to Sf but so is everything else out there). Wow are the median tech salaries there?
async/await is excellent syntax when you want things to happen one after another. That's the usual case, and that's what I find myself using 95% of the time.

However, when you want a more fine-grained concurrent execution of different asynchronous things, then() still could be very useful.
The meta-analysis is based on NO levels in the home, not stove use. Primarily this relates to gas heating. I'm aware of what it says. I'm not sure how what you're saying relates to my points.
It looks to me like this article is saying "Here's good research showing that NO is linked to a 40% higher rate of asthma. Stoves produce NO so they must cause a 40% higher rate of asthma." without a study connecting the two directly. And all of this based on a meta-analysis that doesn't attempt to control for a primary trigger of asthma.
I don't know, it's typical for my family. It seems inappropriate to me for people to set their furnace so high just so they can dress like it's summer in the winter.
Snowy winters is a nice idea when you can sip a warm drink cozied up inside and play winter sports.

When you have to shovel the drive way twice a day and five minutes later the city snow plow throws half frozen slush on your drive way, you start to crave a warmer climate.
Most gas heaters today still use electric ignition. If the power is out I can't turn on my heat. Also it takes electricity to run the blower.
> I noticed a substantial improvement in my health when I started putting HEPA air filters all over my house, and another jump when I moved away from a major road.

Same for me when I moved out of a stuffy old high-rise in Philadelphia. I had frequent coughs and wheezing, shortness of breath, and just lots of general discomfort with breathing. Every time I washed my car there was a thick black layer of soot covering it within a couple days, so I'm sure that was doing great things for my lungs. Also got a couple serious colds every year when I lived there. That was as a 20-something who never smoked, didn't have asthma and wasn't overweight.

Living in the suburbs now and haven't had an issue since moving.
Oh please, California never loses power for extended periods of time.
I'd prefer if they did but I use it for cooking right now. Solar + induction cooking sounds great, but it's still "advanced" for many. Electric heating is more expensive, but again - if it's backed by solar that's subsidized as part of build then that's likely going to be cheaper too.

Is there no way CA can massively reduce gas without banning?
