But it also has property taxes and maintenance costs, which will likely be higher than inflation. So it's not a great passive investment unless you expect the value minus costs to gain faster than inflation. Otherwise you gotta live in it or rent it to make back your money, and that's no longer passive.
> A diesel locomotive can stop and start just as fast as a fully electric locomotive,

The Caltrain electrification plan respectfully disagrees. I am not remotely an expert, but I would guess there are two major factors at play. First, a lot of commuter electric trains are multiple units and have no locomotive. This means that more of the wheels can supply traction, which presumably increases the traction-to-weight ratio of the whole train set. Secondly, I think that efficient diesel generators tend to be most efficient at a specific output power, whereas a commuter train runs over a wide range of output powers. A grid-powered electric train set can briefly draw several MW from the grid without a major loss of efficiency.
Same here.

In addition to be factually incorrect, consider how what you said sounds to the many people who are healthy, active but are having problems with something they thought would be easy. This is very stressful for many people, seeming especially cruel after years of worrying about accidental pregnancy, and the medical treatments are a figurative (and often literal) pain in the ass.

MRR vs net and debt. Why?
I really don't understand that special snowflake thing.

From time to time I ride my bicycle along the levees of the Elbe river from Hamburg to Brunsbüttel. There are two NPP's on the way(now shut down, or in the process of being so. One on the other side of the river, Stade already is.).

Anyways, one called 'Brokdorf' irritated me. Why? Because it looks exactly like that thing in Iran called 'Busher' which I've seen in the media!

Why is that? Because Siemens built it there in license from whomever. Only the painting of the heavy lift shaft on the side of the reactor is different.

While there may be many differences in the details of the implementation inside I feel this special snowflake thing is an unnecessary complication.

Because viewed from afar there are maybe two to three dozen common types cookie cutted all over the world.

Should be possible for the insides also.

Just saying.
I switched to FF when Quantum came out. I use it exclusively. Not because I hate Chrome, but because I don't see any need for chrome. Once in a while I see a website that forces me to use something other than FF. But it happens rarely, and it is mostly some webgl-based under-development demo website.

I even use it on my phone. The mobile version is definitely worse than Chrome, but it has plugins (or it used to! nowadays it only support a few popular ones which is a shame) and also I can send tabs from my phone to my computer (which is a better place to read articles anyways).

> How can NY require mandatory reporting on core business, if both entities are forbidden now to transact with New Yorkers?

They can because that's the term the firms agreed to to settle the investigation and avoid a suit over misconduct identified by the OAG.

The OAG takes the firms back to court for violating the settlement agreement, which can include filing charges for any misconduct preceding and covered by the agreement, for which the statute of limitations is suspended by the agreement.

Perhaps you would like one of the monorepo management tools like Lerna?

In general, the best advice is to avoid nested git projects as much as possible (even though tools like git submodules exist, they are more footguns than you want them to be). You either want to reorganize your folder tree so that your git projects are only ever side-by-side rather than nested, or that there is only one repo for all of them ("monorepo"), depending on your preferences and when/how you expect to share them.

As others have mentioned, trying to keep your commits atomic while simultaneously working on several features at once is basically impossible since they're immutable. And given that modern source-control platforms (e.g., GitHub) support squashing on merge, it's pretty much unnecessary. You get "atomic commits", "every commit has tests", even "clean git history" just by squashing your PR's on merge, so PR's become atomic units of work. Which makes sense! Every PR is an incremental addition to a project that is reviewed as a unit and committed all at once.

> high-pitch "safety" beeping

This drives me insane. I know some shithead lawyer or safety “activist” somewhere is responsible for all the bullshit beeping I have to deal with in my life. A fire alarm going off for no reason. (I would accept the negligible marginal risk of burning to death than have to deal with legally mandated fire alarms.) My car beeping because I didn’t put the seatbelt over the luggage in the passenger seat. Even airplanes aren’t as annoying with the audible alerts as cars. The only time I get beeped at when I’m flying is if I’m stalling or something. At least in aircraft, designers have the understanding and latitude to treat noises as the pointless distractions they are.

You wouldn't publish a first draft, but neither would you burn it once the final draft was off to the printer. Personally, I'd prefer it if "squashing" commits was purely a UI thing; the underlying commits were all still there, but grouped together and displayed as a single big "virtual" commit. That way you could still drill down to the real history if you needed to.
Please add this to the column of "things evil right wing twitter anons were investigating years beforehand", so you can update your estimates of their future credibility.
Yeah, I'm not sure that's the right solution either. Perhaps there could be a third party "class advocate" that receives 1% of all proceeds awarded to the class in the case of a settlement or trial victory who has unilatteral power to veto any settlement agreement. Then their incentives would be aligned to ensure the maximum settlement while taking into account the probability of winning in court and the costs of prolonged delay, etc. If the class gets nothing, the class advocate gets nothing. If the lawyers make bank, but the class gets a pittance, the class advocate gets a pittance. The class advocate could also negotiate reasonable attorney fees for the class.
It's not necessarily bad, but there's plenty of steps to automate away, with two ideas:

* You can use your production server as a "git server" without basically any overhead

* You can set up scripts that run on git events.

Basically, you can push directly to your production server and then deploy using that those event listeners

Here's a better explainer

As for having to reboot your server every time, I have no idea, although that seems like a long time. I'd expect less than a minute, but I don't know much about django
Literally exactly my first use case of Roam. Unbelievably good for world building.
It also depends upon the operating system among several other variables,

I didn't find noticeable difference between FF and Chrome based browsers(Vivaldi, Edge) on macOS(although Safari runs circles around them) after using them extensively. I used each of them for a separate project with several common websites loaded in them, there were different quirks for each browser(especially reg tab hibernation) but latency was not one of them.

On Linux FF seems definitely faster than Chromium, although there are occasional DNS errors which stops loading the web pages altogether(likely result of my own doing). I've stopped having different browsers for different projects and just use FF for all.

On Android with Chrome, not just Chrome but even WebView using it is astonishingly fast(e.g. DDG browser), I presume it's because of data saver feature. On de-googled android like LineageOS, FF/Fennec seems to be on same level as Chromium and DDG is faster here as well.

On iOS, everything is Safari.

I don't use Windows much, but I've seen others mentioning Edge seems to be faster than Chrome recently.

> the other 12 hours, so if you wanted to feed the entire California demand from expanded solar generation, you'd need to store up 420 gigawatt hours (1.5 PJ). You'd need 12 kWh of batteries per (average) kilowatt, which would bring the price of storage to above US$13000 per kW at the battery prices I found two years ago, which is slightly higher than the price of thermal power generation.

And you'll have to pay this cost every 4-8 years, too.

And once you talk about load shifting, you're adding in a while bunch of other invisible costs to accommodate the shifting load. E.g. making it so that trains only run at night and on windy days, that increases cost of logistics across the board, which in turn makes a whole bunch of other goods and services more expensive.
While the Supreme Court has not specifically ruled on incitement in the context of media outlets, it's clear from cases like New York Times v. Sullivan and Hustler Magazine v. Falwell that the Supreme Court is extremely protective of speech by media outlets.

I see. We are not storing the PII (ip + ua) and do not expect you to send us any PII (e.g. as part of your page title, etc).

so there was no parsing. it was just s-exps. But you still got to write interpreters with different semantics & compilers.

>Not a demand for censorship?

No, those look like questions to me. A demand for censorship would be "stop carrying these channels." Such a demand may follow after these questions are answered, but do they not constitute a demand for censorship of themselves.
I switched back to Firefox last week and I had the same experience -- Google apps and Slack were dog slow. But after a day or so they were working fine, I imagine it's a matter of populating the cache. YMMV.
There's someone who does this every day outside my apartment at around 7:15. It is infuriating. 4-5 loud, inconsistently-spaced honks "just to be sure" when I'm sure their car locks silently on the first request. Most modern cars only beep if you lock them twice.
I have a different take. Compilers are usually the first really big project students encounter. There's a lot of complexity around keeping things organized and still efficient. There's a lot of real world hassle around both ends - the input can be anything, and the implementer has to deal with that. The output is subtle with lots of gnarly little details that have to be exactly right.

Compilers also have this wonderful side effect of eliminating all the magic. after a compiler class, there aren't many mysteries left about how computers work. they take a string and do stuff.

Personally, I haven't gotten much milage out of shift reduce parsing, but parsing in general has been super important. Intermediate representations, coming from complexity to something canonical, and then transforming that back to complexity has probably given me the biggest bang for my time. If you squint your eyes, frameworks and dsls are kinda just intermediate representations. Sticking the parts together in a coherent way helped me.

I've never been in a situation where out-of-order execution really mattered to my code. but my compiler course taught me enough to know valgrind, so I'd go look for whatever the modern equivalent is.

Everybody is different, but compilers for me is where everything really jelled. There is so much complexity you just eat, day after day. Memorization only got me so far, at some point, I had to have real organization and clarity.

I think, if I had to give a compiler class, I'd start in the middle. tools for manipulating trees, tools to build that tree up, tools to tear that tree down. I know it's kind of a breezy approach, but the clarity seems like a prerequisite for dealing with complexity. the tree is the one thing the implementer owns, and is free to structure (and restructure) however they wish.
I think it’s unfortunate that society has become pacified to a point that people generally will not use e.g. minor equipment sabotage to deal with nuisances like this that otherwise take excessive bureaucratic nonsense to combat.
The New York Times vs Sullivan precedent pretty specifically addressed that issue: organizations (like the NYT) are protected by the First Amendment.

Also, just taking a step back, the Constitution makes no mention of a difference between individuals and groups. If you and I were to group together to advocate for something, our rights to advocate for that thing don't magically disappear.

In fact, by this logic, we don't actually have a free press, because journalistic outlets aren't individuals, they are organizations that the Constitution doesn't protect.
