This is not too dangerous as long as the phase transition is not instantaneous. A one year weakening period is more than enough for man made intervention. We have ways of making an artificial magnetosphere (see literature by NASA's James Green). Models have been calculated for Mars. It is not cheap but doable. A nuclear reactor+superconductor satellite in orbit. Borderline exotic by commercial standards but relatively normal for military proposes.

A more worrying threat is supernovae. Those can't be easily shielded against with current technology.
Perry was governor in 2011 when it was undoubtable improvements were necessary if another freeze like that were to be mitigated to a greater degree rather than exacerbated like we have seen occur instead.

Present Governor Abbot followed Perry and Abbot is just the opposite of advanced.

He had plenty of time to improve the situation, whether it was regulation or ERCOT reorganization or any number of other details that ratepayers have already paid for for decades, no one else was in a stronger position to do something to make up for Perry's Bozoness.

I don’t understand why it has to be one or the other? Working in fractions is nice sometimes. Inches are a useful size for some situations. I find it easier to say that’s three eighths than 9mm because my ruler doesn’t have different marks for the factors of each mm mark.

I use both systems.

I do prefer Fahrenheit for HVAC (and weather) because it’s higher resolution and has reasonable values at human scales. Thermostats that lack half-degrees-c are never quite right IMO.
Depends how desperate your bro's regular coke dealer or his dealer gets. I've heard first hand tales of dealers ending up with bricks of straight filler, like no coke, and passing it off to their customers, even high end ones, because if they didn't they'd be out a whole bunch of money.

Also another second hand anecdote, most coke you buy in America or Canada is probably not pure. Even when getting supposedly pure coke. I've heard what they have in south america and mexico in certain places is nothing like what they have up here.

I think the type of estimation meant here is the agile type, where the team looks at a feature/requirement and estimates the time or relative effort based on the nature of the requirement + whatever other factors they choose. It's usually more intuitive and not based on historical data.

Bitcoin doesn't have to keep halving until 2140, their governance could decide to stop mining early once it becomes an existential crisis for the network. Bitcoin is code and there could be special cases made so long as they can get the miners to agree. The miners can name their price on processing transactions on the network in lieu of continuing to mine. The transaction processing is much less onerous in terms of power consumption.

Gamers want to spend $500 on a GPU, whereas miners want to spend $1000 on a GPU. It makes sense that NVIDIA would have two offerings. Crypto may for the most part move on from non-GPU intensive methods, but gamers will almost always be looking for the cutting edge, so it would be wise to be able to continue to be competitive with the gaming market.

Working with the idea that value is current and future utility to people:

Total utility depends on people's ability to use/appreciate goods and services. Therefore, a transaction that allows for more use/appreciation creates value.

However, you can anticipate that other people will use/appreciate something, and set out to produce it. The expectation of future sale creates value for you; value is created before any buyer appears.

Feels to me like most value is probably created intentionally this way.

On real estate: I think there's not that much value created on average simply due to transacting. Sometimes people die and their estate is sold, or a space has features that are more valued by the buyer (e.g. proximity to water for a sailor, or 3-phase power for a machine shop), or some other asymmetry arises. However, most spaces don't suddenly provide more value to people just because someone else resides there. The majority of value in real estate is created by building/modifying, and the overall community (e.g. building a train stop increases value around it). Asymmetrically valued features are probably far from the biggest driver of value or price increase in aggregate. So, I agree value can be created by transacting real estate, but find the statement a bit misleading when thinking about why prices go up. The growth of availability of space is much slower than the growth of population and buying power.
>The belief that the best way to get every American to have uninterrupted access to electricity is through public investment in infrastructure is belied by your admission that hasn’t happened. Which is a fact.

We have though. From 1930 to 1980 the US had a world class system that was better than any in the world.
You are erasing the container (as in one APFS container of multiple volumes) that contains the OS and data and everything else that is what, on a PC, you would consider "the whole drive" for fresh-install purposes. On an M1, that is only one GPT partition, but that doesn't really matter. The point is that that (plus perhaps clearing xART data) will fix pretty much any "normal" issues you have in the machine, equivalent to a fresh reinstall with full data wipe. The filesystem data structures are independent at the volume group level, so this will also fix any filesystem issues you might have (it would be very rare to have FS problems in the other two system APFS volume groups, as they are very rarely written to, and even more rarely have metadata/complex changes).

Compare: this is like wiping boot, system, data, and vendor on an Android phone. You wipe the whole OS and user data. You do not wipe the bootloader and other partitions (because if you did, you'd brick the phone). This is as much of a "factory reset" as almost anyone will ever need.

If you really want to wipe the whole drive, you need Apple Configurator 2 and another Mac to re-install, as the machine is then unable to boot in anything except DFU mode if you wipe the system containers. Unlike Android phones though, this is supported by Apple, so you can't in fact brick these Macs like that - just be aware that this option does (currently) require another Mac to do the re-install.
Yes, definitely Eclipse local history.

Well, considering the Texan senator who is currently planning his return from Cancun was involved in spreading lies that ultimately led to an attempted insurrection against the US government... I think people are a little sick of Texas politics right now, and Texas losing power on large scale for a major weather event for the 2nd time in four years is a nice reminder of the local attitudes about climate change and the failures of Texan libertarianism.

I once wrote a web service that I deployed and then never had to maintain. I still have not discovered any bugs in it, and it has not needed any new features. It's still running now and has thousands of users a day.

That code is beautiful because I never have to look at it or tinker with it.

(For those wondering about security, it is deployed in containers that are destroyed and rebuilt from patched images on a daily basis. It does not use any web-hosted libraries.)
Why is faster than light travel necessary? Plenty of space in our own solar system.

Regarding technological development, again, on a long enough timeline, I don’t think it’s much of a concern. Technologies will continue to develop, quickly or slowly. It hasn’t even been a century since we walked on the moon. Deriving trends from this short period of time is not particularly relevant.
Nothing wrong with that :)

A predisposition doesn't mean someone is destined to become ill, and it also doesn't dictate the severity of the illness should one arise.

The problem is that psychedelics can induce mental illness in those who might have never become ill, and psychedelics can induce severe psychotic disorders in people who would have otherwise lived normal lives.

Free Software and Open Source: Get Involved
RSUs are trickier than that if you work at a non-public company (e.g. a startup). For example, they actually do typically expire if the company doesn't have a liquidity event within a certain timeframe -- and unlike options, if the expiration date comes up you have no recourse; with an option, you can at least exercise it, at which point it becomes common stock and you own it outright.

As a personal example, I previously worked at Airbnb and had a mixture of options and RSUs. Some of my RSUs were only months away from their expiration date when the company went public; if anything had delayed the IPO much longer, they would have disappeared. With the options, I could have bought them and prevented them from disappearing even had the company not gone public. As a result, leading up to the IPO I was moderately worried about my RSUs, but not particularly worried about my options.

FWIW, you're probably thinking about ISOs ("incentive stock options") when you refer to the "punishing exercise-or-lose-them requirements;" companies can also offer NQSOs ("non-qualified stock options"), which are less tax-advantaged but can offer long exercise timeframes even after you leave the company. A lot of the "unicorn" startups, including Airbnb, allowed ISO holders to convert to NQSOs for that reason.

Options vs RSUs is a tricky subject and the ideal choice varies based on circumstance.

These realities change every minute and most mining calculators are super wrong.

For example, for Ethereum, mining calculators assume the block reward of 2 Eth, but for the past year each block has had like 5 Eth on average because the transaction fees are so high, extended periods of time with 7-10 Eth per block. So its double and triple the estimated payout if you are just taking a passing look.
Are you suggesting that people make commits before reviewing the changes? I never thought of that...
Overly opinionated narrowly scoped, with a click bait title.

Of course the web has changed, someone of us have been around to remember the web before javascript. Before flash, before frameworks.

take this same argument an apply it to cars, sure you could get rid of fuel injection, automatic transmissions, airbags, seat belts, crumble zones, differentials, etc...

But who would want that car, could it remotely compete with modern cars?

I think you'll find the answer is both the same.
There is lots of truth to this. Some ORMs like Django perform joins in very unsuspecting ways.

A simple example is, say, foreign keys. Trying to access the foreign key of an object by doing `book.user.id` does an additional query for the user table to get the ID. It's less known that the id is immediately available by just doing `book.user_id` instead.

I've spent time optimising things like text searches down from 2000+ queries to about ~4, and one of the more noticeable things to me isn't actually the number of joins, rather the SELECT's that take place. Many of these ORMs do a SELECT * unless you explicitly tell them to otherwise, and when dealing with large-ish datasets or on models that have large text fields this translates into significant time taken to serialise these attributes. So you can optimise the query and still have it take a long time until you realise that limiting the initial `SELECT` parameter is probably more efficient than limiting the number of joins.
I find an interesting aspect of the project at hand and start wondering about it.

I do this until I’m interested enough to take action.
If you work on a branch you can push them to your remote repo anyway. Good for backups or if you move between hosts for any reason (I do this all the time as I prefer static workstations for focus and work/life balance.)

Branches rightly became a bit of a dirty word over the last decade. In a fast moving collaborative codebase the pattern you really want to avoid is using a long running feature branch — one that remains uncommitted to trunk for ever more uncomfortable periods of time.

Branches themselves — the VCS technology part — are incredibly useful when used fluently.
That's a nice benefit of using async ORMs (not yet available in django), the db calls are explicit!
I did a quick google search and looked at the Oracle documentation for Flexcube. While I'm not 100% sure it is for the same version of software, the documentation appears to discuss this point.

Overwrite default settlement instruction

Select the ‘Overwrite default settlement instruction’ check box to confirm
that the liquidation entries should be posted into the Internal GL account.
System posts the entries to the Internal GLs only if you check this check box.
Otherwise, system posts the entries as per the settlement instructions specified
for the component of the contract.

It seems to me that the docs say when the user doesn't check the overwrite default settlement instruction checkboxes, the software will xfer the money according to the settlement instructions. Either way, for approving almost $900,000,000 I'd take a second look before clicking the approval button on a subcontractor's work. Heck, I'd even check when approving this transaction for the VP down the hall.
I also use undo/redo like this and it has gotten me into frustrating locations on a couple of occasions... but still better than needing to break my flow to drop into making some well formed commit.

I understand how to do WIP commits etc, but its helpful to do a rewind/fast-forward that includes all the character changes in-between the logical “blocks” of diffs. It often helps me recapture approaches to problems that I’ve already attempted.
I don’t know about dangerous, but I found the combination extremely unpleasant back when I did such things.

Yeah you and I could built a simple pulley system and store gravitational potential energy. Physics works, I know I'm not surprised. But we couldn't use it to store moderately enough energy to be useable to decarbonize our energy footprint. And building them at scale is a gamble on unprecedented application of technology.

It's like trying to be carbon neutral through burning biomass. Yeah, it works as a general principle. But the energy density just isn't there. The US consumes about much energy each year as we'd get from clear-cutting the entire country over the span of a single year. And the plants take longer than that to grow. Sure, we could try more exotic things like dumping iron into the ocean and harvesting algae blooms. But as a general principle, biomass energy source doesn't scale well.

Same with energy storage. Nuclear isotopes are a great store of energy. The best we know how to tap into in term of energy density, that's why we use it on submarines. Chemical energy like methane is good, but the sabatier process isn't that feasible and it needs a pre-existing source of carbon dioxide. Electrochemical storage like batteries is great for systems that need to store a relatively small amount of energy, like cars and electronics. But it isn't available at nearly the required scale. Hydroelectricity storage is better for scale, but still not good enough. And I'm sure you can name other proposed systems like pulleys, hydrogen, compressed air, an d more. But the point is that until they've demonstrated commercial viability let alone beaten competitive solutions it's a big assumption to factor these into solutions to climate change.

Are people accepting contracts to store X GWh of electricity in pulleys, or or compressed air and operating those projects successfully? Until then, these do not represent presently available solutions to climate change. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but until then saying we have a realistic plan to provision enough energy storage to decarbonize through renewables is counterfactual - at least save for places like Norway or Iceland that have dispatchable sources of renewable energy nearby in the form of geographically dependent hydro and geothermal power.
