These people (the genuine ones) lack context-awareness, so they could always find something racist, sexist, ableist, whateverist in anything you say.

I just named something "blacklist" a couple of days ago. It has nothing to do with races, nor slavery. The only thing they have is a person in-between who connects the two because s/he is a troll, or because lacks context-awareness or whatever.

Something I've been wondering is whether a Rust-embedded language has a place for making the "glue API server"-writing experience better. Rocket is an amazing library, but Rust's strictness - much as I love it - still slows down the iteration phase quite a bit. Imagine being able to hack out an API, twiddling JSON and reshaping data, in something like Passerine, and then step the different pieces down to Rust code as they solidify

My guess is that the studio knew the adaptation of such book would make a mediocre movie, and decided to save the effort and go straight to mediocre movie instead.
I have both a technical and a practical answer for you.

The technical answer is that demand response resources are considered dispatchable or interruptible load. Load shedding is the dropping of "firm" or non-dispatchable load. Typically, load shedding due to energy inadequacy only occurs after all demand response resources have already been called in. It's not one or the other, it's always both in tandem.

The practical answer is that during extreme weather, there are never enough people willing to voluntarily freeze. The demand for heat when it's below freezing in a state where homes aren't insulated and people don't own winter clothing is relatively inelastic.

Huffman coding generally works on symbols, where a symbol can be represented by any (possibly variable-length!) string of bits. I recall reading about a compression scheme (lzw?) where the symbol table had an entry for each raw byte value, plus the encoding instructions (e.g. lookback x bytes for y bytes).
If anyone is ready to learn about the Chinese market deeper than obsessing over whats happening on the other side of the Gobi desert, now is the time.

Around the time of the late 1990s Internet bubble, I read someone's observation that you can identify an investment bubble when barbers and nurses and taxi drivers start investing on the assumption that prices will just keep going up. That matched my own experience of having lived through the stock and real-estate bubble in Japan in the late 1980s: I knew shopkeepers and rice farmers who borrowed money to buy stock and land and condominiums, certain that their value would continue rising. The American real-estate bubble that led up to the 2008 crash looked very similar, as does Bitcoin now. It seems certain to collapse, though I can’t predict when.
> pressure to get the vaccine has collapsed

Uh, no it hasn't. We don't have vaccines laying around going bad with nobody who wants them, but we do have plenty of people who want the vaccine who can't get it.
Sorta. As a thought experiment, consider a place that allowed all of their drivers to not have insurance. Specifically, it was setup as a place that advertised "come live here if you don't want to spend money with car insurance." That is, everyone living here does so making the personal choice that this is ok.

In the framing you have given, this should be fine. The amount of damage you have personally caused can easily be seen as a wholesale price.

My assertion is that either the cost of cars and driving would have to go up to actually price in the cost of failure. Cars would have to be seriously reworked such that they were much safer. Or you would find that insurance is a great idea.

To be clear, this isn't that far fetched. I live somewhere that lets me bike more. Unless I'm ignorant of some laws, I do not have to have insurance.
Ok, I am a bit confused. Which model Kias connect over the internet? I have a 2017 Kia Niro, and you have to manually run an app to update information if you are so inclined.

I actually agree that you should not expect our old friend the "invisible hand" to get what we want here.

But to the specifics you're wrong. It's perfectly possible to build a market system in which providers aren't incentivized to do stupid things like this.

It's very Texan to have a situation in which there's a market that will unavoidably cause tremendous problems (but makes the wealthy even wealthier) and then it is somehow not only permitted but seemingly popular to seek to expose ordinary people directly to that market. The right thing to happen is that this arrangement is banned, and the politicians who allowed or worse encouraged it are censured. But I have no confidence that's anywhere close to what will actually happen.

Lots of professional mining operations will actually undervolt the cards to get them to run more effeciently, decreasing electricity and cooling costs overall. Also there's less thermal stress due to them running constantly, so you don't get the physical stresses of fluctuation between hot/cold cycles.
The anti-spam system is that the user has to pay to send you the message. If you ask for $50 per message, and the message is spam, you'll flag the message as "spam" which means you get the $50 and the spammer doesn't get their refund. At high enough cost spammers can't reach you.

If you're powerful and get 100 emails a day for things that take up your time, you don't want to read 95 of them, but do want those 5 that matter to still be sent to you, by people who are confident enough that their email is important.

> 100,000 people might not be enough to just deal With flags...

You’re off by orders of magnitude.

500 * 60 * 24 * 365 = 262800000 hours per year / 1.3x playback speed / 2,000 hours of work per person per year = ~101,077 people to watch every uploaded video.

Less if people are watching at higher playback speeds or working significantly more than a 40h week. I would personally be surprised if even 1 in 1,000 videos where flagged by ML at which point you’re talking ~100 people. Though that would be a truly terrible job.
I highly recommend this book: https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Programming-Interface-System-Ha...

All system call interfaces, as well as how system calls happen are thoroughly documented there. Though, I would just use libc, since all this stuff is a bit messy and have plenty of legacy stuff.
I agree with you.

I think the Chinese government is totalitarian and aggressive, and the standard of due process and human rights is very different of what we consider acceptable in the "west".

I also wouldnt be surprised if things like widespread facial recognition and other types of intrusive vigilance is present (something very bad),I also would not be surprised if the area has received a large Han migration (something more gray, neutral). I also acknowledge that people that they may consider dangerous (number in the tens of thousands? are or have been detained for longer periods) and that the youth population receive education to become integrated to the Han majority.

Having said that,I have seen 0 actual evidence of genocide, beyond very wild speculations. 0 bodies, mass graves, executions,1-million people in jail etc. If I see the evidence I of course will change my mind.

On the other hand almost every notably speaker of the genocide have had an axis to grind against China. From the crazy newborn Christian Zenz, to the Uyghur woman who worked for the CIA and did a reddit AMA, to yes! people like Pompeo or Trump or even the mainstream western media.We are in the middle of a new cold-war.

Uighurs are exempt of the 2-child policy reserved to the Han, and their population have increased in the region compared to the previous decades.China has also be receptive to receive inspection and FWIW the entire muslim block is with China.You could argue that they are being blackmailed, but some of them are rich enough to not depend now or in the future from China.

Anyway, it is going to be interesting once the proposed French laws against Muslims extremism are in place to see if the same standard will be applied to the reporting. Interesting times these.

The problem is that you're not thinking about the context of the word and instead are using it in a different context to be offended by it. I'd argue that you are the one who needs to think about it a bit more instead of blindly calling others names and trying to police the grammatically correct words someone uses.

Just because you think and associate something with a negative racial implication when you see a word doesn't mean others are. I personally am able to look at a word and understand the context surrounding the word. I'm able to think about that word and know that calling my git branch a "master" doesn't mean that I am a slave driver and or that I agree with it. I am able to think on my own.
When the Holocaust was happening, no one cared. The holocaust was stopped because it aligned with a different interest: to stop nazi Germany. The holocaust was only to make the nazi look bad. Otherwise no one cared about Jews either.

This is a faulty argument, that might apply to primitive organisms with similarly primitive movement schemes.

Most complex organisms spend some time inside a protective shell of some form before getting out into the wild, where I suspect they learn to coordinate their orientation sensory organs with their limbs to produce necessary movement patterns.
> Life here is pretty normal now

Except for last week where you were under your third lockdown? I work with people from Melbourne and I feel like a lot of them suffer from at least some mild PTSD. This was re-ignited when the 3rd lockdown was announced with worries that it would last months again (luckily this was not the case!). The mental health aspect/general population wellbeing seems to be largely ignored in Victoria.

> I’m going to a concert with thousands of people this week

Unless there's another leak and you go back into a snap lockdown. There's always uncertainty under such a system! Again, not great for mental health. (and yes, you can argue that there's always uncertainty under a pandemic, but the levels of uncertainty differ between geographies)

I am sure a lot of work from home office people without kids will view these lockdowns rather positively. But I doubt business owners, hospitality workers and artists will appreciate them as much.

The article makes some good points and we really need to look at the wider issues around the disease and its countermeasures.
This could be (partially) remedied through periodically requiring the user to pair the key and phone (bluetooth, wifi?).

It's kind of an annoying solution, but it sounds like a bit of a security risk to just let someone permanently stay logged in to an app like that without requiring authentication every once in a while.
Less wasteful is a huge, unsupported claim contradicted by many examples. As a simple one, think about how much electricity the 1990 PC user consumed compared to one today – EnergyStar encouraged that but it had basically nobody cared about it enough to whine about it, much less riot. Lightbulbs did have some efforts to turn them into a conservative rallying point but even Trump supporting it wasn’t enough to get traction because only the most diehard ideologues are going to say they want to give more of their money to the utility company.

The real lesson here is that the best way is to give people clear price signals. Stop subsidizing fossil fuel consumption and suddenly people will make less wasteful choices in many areas. We saw this in the US before fracking took off, when fuel economy was creeping up because $4/gallon gas was enough to get people thinking about whether they really needed a Suburban to take 1-2 people grocery shopping.

The Arab & French protests did involve fuel pricing but that was more in the sense of being the last straw than an unavoidable cause. If the French government hadn’t been using that to lower taxes on the wealthy, for example, or simply been less unpopular before it started, it wouldn’t have flared up like that. It’s a valid concern but I wouldn’t generalize too much from a more complex scenario than it might appear. Especially in the US, where the average family could make substantial energy usage reductions with simple, low-impact changes (combining trips, reducing food waste, insulating houses, replacing antique appliances, etc. are not the stuff of revolution).
Bankruptcy does not simply eliminate all debt. It is likely that the money available to the generators at the end of this would be somewhere between what they would have gotten at "normal" market rates, and what they are owed given the actual spot price.

The story here would be different if the driving force behind the increase in electricity cost was an increase in the cost of inputs (such as the cost of gas). This did happen a bit at the margins (spinning up expensive to operate generators), but for the most part, generators went offline not because of the expense of staying online; but rather because they were incapable of operating. The decisions about electricity supply during this emergency were not made during the emergency; but during the decade prior, when the equitment was not outfitted to prepare for such an emergency.

In theory, allowing high spot prices provides a free market incentive to make such preparations. However, in practice, the free market is simply not good at dealing with the long tail events like this.

Left to its own devices, it prefers the safe options of sitting out the potential long-tail event over the risky option of investing in preparing for a long tail event that may never come.

This is why the mechanism for preparing for this type of event, should be regulation.
CNC sounds like kind of a bad fit unless you're going to mill the entire frame out of a solid piece of wood -- you'd lose a lot of material to the router bit and still have to do a fair amount of finishing by hand. For mitered joints like this, there are computerized saws that can feed and cut the lumber pretty precisely, but those are very expensive.

I'm not super clear on whether or not you're doing all of this by hand or working through a factory. If it's the latter, I would recommend just setting your expectations for the final product very clearly and then make sure that the end product is meeting those expectations. If you're doing it by hand, practice makes perfect! Go to your local lumber yard store and get some construction grade pine or fir boards and cut several dozen miters by hand (you can also invest in a compound miter saw -- that's generally useful for any woodworking that you'd want to do down the road as well and you can find them used for ~dozens of dollars or brand new for ~100-500 depending on features, size, power, etc -- just make sure you've got a good, sharp blade with lots of teeth for a nice smooth cut). You'll get the hang of it. For soft woods, clamping pressure and even glue distribution matters too -- you can clamp them a little tighter and the wood fibers at the boundaries between the boards will crush down a bit and help to even out the joint. That doesn't work so well with hardwoods though - you'll have to be pretty precise to get those done right.

Depending on the thickness of your wood, you might be able to do something with a laser cutter, but you'll need to figure out how to square up the edges appropriately (since laser cut edges on thicker lumber are rarely perfectly square).

If you're particularly lucky, you might be able to find somewhere that will give you some time on a water jet. Those edges will be perfectly square and everything will be cut perfectly -- just make sure to thoroughly dry your parts before assembly.
Using words like nigger, black or slave is not hate speech. However, reserving usage of words such as nigger or kike to specific ethnic groups is nothing but racism.
I'm sorry, this directly contradicts the principle of ever-increasing difficulty for the proof-of-work hash.

Bitcoin and other proof-of-work (no actual useful work being done here either, opportunity wasted!) based crypto-currencies increase the proof-of-work algorithms complexity factor as a means of controlling the rate.
Bitcoin cannot scale up without using an ever increasing literal waste of electricity. Want a better system? make a new crypto-currency trust basis... (proof of stake, etc.)

This seems to imply that one party or the other is manipulating the currency markets aye? the claim is effectively that $1 when converted to local currency in china buys 2x what $1 buys in the US.
Their algorithms seem to be looking for the words "black" and "white". I posted a comment to a YT video just today describing my daughter's experiences in high school, the school's recent heavy emphasis on black lives matter (the topic has crept into History, Cooking, Math, and even Chemistry) and the kids, including the few black kids at the school, think it's excessive. The comment disappeared when I refreshed. I reposted (have learned to always cmd-C), and it was taken down again. So I substituted "bite" for white, "back" for black, and this time it stayed up. Ridiculous and counter-productive, in my opinion.
Choosing to be at the mercy of the people with the best opsec instead of the government sure is a take.

Parent is saying that the distribution model of modern distros is so legacy and out of alignment with what people actually want that a solution involving bundling the entire damn OS to sidestep that pit of snakes has now became the defacto way to deploy software.

To put it another way, what do you think the relative popularity of distributing your own internal software via a private apt repo is compared to bundling it as a stateless container and putting it on a registry? Some big companies that pre-date containers do it with apt. Most don’t. For good reason.
No. Is that your real estimate of an actual Texan who just saw neighbors lose power and water for up to 9 days during a historic freeze? There is a body count of 75, last I heard.
To be precise, it’s logically impossible, since MX records are defined by the relevant standards to consist of a number of bytes which are to be interpreted as a priority integer followed by a series of DNS domain name labels. There is no defined way for an MX record to contain an IP address. You could make up some such way, but then it wouldn’t be an MX record as commonly defined, it would be your private extension of the standards.
OP was correct, the early Dacia models were license-built older Renault designs.

The first post-merger models like Sandero were based on a stretched Renault Clio 3 platform.

The new ones are built on the Renault-Nissan CMF-B, as are new Ladas.
Why do so many articles use the phrasing "due to COVID-19" instead of "due to the lockdowns"?
Why? I don't have anything to prove to you. Anytime I have chosen to engage with someone who has given a response like yours and chosen to give sources and examples I am met with a ignorant response saying something like "you can't be racist towards white people".

It's just not worth it for me to engage like that anymore. How about bringing a discussion to what I said rather than asking for random proof of what I said. Look literally anywhere on the internet and you'll find it pretty easily.

Hell the AP News will capitalize Black but not White: https://apnews.com/article/7e36c00c5af0436abc09e051261fff1f

Stuff like that is just one of hundreds of examples. That article is what I'd consider more of a "casual racism" whereas I also see a lot more direct racism as well.

I'd personally rather be in a world where someone doesn't feel a need to specify someone's race before everything. People will add in race when it has no relevance or facts behind it.

I am sure you have heard the phrase "privileged white male" before. I can't even count on both my hands how many times I've been told that. And I'll be told that without the person even knowing my level of privilege, my gender, or my race. When you oppose the current politically correct fad you'll be called racist and people will assume your gender and race and use it as a derogatory/racist statement. It will be used to dismiss and invalidate an opinion.

For me personally my test is often pretty simple. If someone tries to dismiss an opinion by calling someone a "privileged white male" how would that be any better than dismissing someone's opinion for being black? To me they both are racist and just as bad in my mind. Neither is acceptable. Yet in todays society we know which one would be acceptable. As long as it's shitting on a white person or a male you're good to go.
We ought to work harder at teaching writing. I think there's a definite group of people that really _love_ writing, have a general knack for it and work hard to turn that knack into a talent. But, those folks aside, I've found there's simple tweaks that can be made to most technical writing that greatly improve it. For example, in code documentation explain "why" and not "how". Later source readers will probably be able to understand your code unless it's especially complicated but they will not, from the code, be able to figure out why it exists. Lots of folks write the "how" down though, in part because the external context is taken as a given in the moment -- they're very familiar with it right then and there -- but also because the "how" is probably more interesting than the "why". Empathy for the ignorant is something you see in excellent technical writing, less so in the middling stuff.
I’m sorry to hear that, that sounds very rough.

It sounds to me like an ineffective broader strategy by your government. I definitely wouldn’t be voting for those people again, and maybe legal action around their incompetence could be an option. I think the examples set by Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, China, Singapore, Vietnam, and South Korea show that effective responses are possible. Lockdowns were an important part of these responses, but of course a lockdown by itself will not solve the pandemic.
Panicking got us to escape lions and survive the evolutionary uphill, I wouldn't so hastily get rid of just yet.
