The problem wasn't really the just-in-time nature of power generation--nearly all power grids operate this way, usually with little more than a flywheel on the generator to smooth out fluctuations. Sometimes you get a stored water battery, but that doesn't last more than a few hours at peak consumption. We don't really have the ability to store power in a way that's efficient enough to not rely on JIT generation.

No, the problem here was that the grid wasn't winterized, and the hardware couldn't handle the cold. The problem came from hardware operating way outside its specs, which caused a cascading failure.

To be clear: I'm not saying it wasn't a lack of foresight on the companies involved, it completely was. Just not because of just in time generation.
So I think being up front that you think it will take 5 years to complete the therapy is a good idea. That this isn't a quick fix is key. But for people with bad allergies or long term users of OTC treatments this might be clarity they need for long term treatment. Also you might want to compare it to other long term life therapies, like braces..which are almost as expensive. I like the idea..I think the $99 price tag a month for 5 years might be a sticker shock though.
I know Quora did as well.
I'm pretty sure if you use a fat enough marker, or a wide enough brush, you could create a picture where visicalc leads to the ARM M1 processor.

> Send me to hell if Spotify is mastering…

Pack your bags. Just Google it, or you can start here [1]. A relevant quote “This is because Spotify applies Loudness Normalization to your tracks as they're played to listeners”

A brief search shows that both Apple and Spotify offer 256kbps AAC. ABX testing these two would be pointless. They’re both above transparent. It’s NOT the codec.

Send me to heaven if X would allow for parametric EQ settings based on headphone/sound system. This would appeal to *actual audiophiles [2]. This would confuse the hell out of normals, so bullet point marketing is what we get.

Wasn’t it the old ‘absence of evidence =\= evidence of absence’ that should have applied?

There is no reason that response to a vaccine would fall off a cliff above a certain numerical age – the human body just doesn’t work like that. Yes, as people get older their immune responses to vaccines may weaken – but this will be unpredictable in a large group, and likely dependent on far more factors than just chronological age.

If by chance the study hadn’t recruited anybody who was 51 years old, would you have felt uncomfortable extrapolating responses from 50 and 52-year-olds?
Do you really think our intelligence agencies care about laws like that? The director of the NSA lied to congress while under oath about spying on Americans. Nothing happened to him. Literally nothing. There is no reason for the government to follow the law if they don't get prosecuted for violations.
I know that they use the same Clarity[1] smart contract language as Stacks. I like that it's not turing complete.

The more I've read about Stacks, the more I like it. But I haven't done a deep dive into Algorand. Do you know offhand how they differ / what they're going for?

Love the brainstorming. As you mentioned, "decoupling" the cruise mode from the takeoff mode could make a lot of sense. One of the most innovative and feasible solutions I've seen is from a former YC company called Talyn Air https://www.talyn.com/

They have a nice animation showing the lifter and the cruiser vehicles.
Where in that study does it show the the numbers for the pre-COVID healthy cohort?
Agreed, defaults are the norm and then the advanced settings are layered. Even so, explaining and showing the differences visually or with video is possible. I don't agree with treating people as babies when it comes to tech.
> The page you've linked says as much (though it's quite misleading without background knowledge). "Many Native American tribes suffered high mortality and depopulation, averaging 25–50% of the tribes' members lost to disease."

I interpret that as "many tribes lost 25-50%" but that doesn't necessarily mean that this generalizes to all Native Americans, so I took the 90% figure which made the more precise (if inaccurate) claim.

> The line you've linked is discussing the Northeastern colonization and it links to Denevan, who isn't looking at the actual mechanics of depopulation, but rather the pristine myth.

Fair enough, I'm not a subject matter expert. I'm at the mercy of Wikipedia editors here.

> Let's pay closer attention to the Mexican population graph though. Notice the 3 waves of disease? Two of those, labeled "cocolizti", are thought to be (at least partially) Salmonella. You know, that disease of failing sanitation infrastructure? Hopefully it's clear why sanitation issues might have surfaced around then.

Assuming that cocolizti was directly caused by failing sanitation infrastructure, looking at the graph I would assume that the infrastructure failed due to the preceding smallpox-induced population crash. At least without more information there's nothing clearly pointing to Spanish violence, if that's your implication. Of course, the Spanish conquest was abhorrent and devastating, but I don't have any reason to believe that the Spanish military was more effective than disease at devastating the Mexican population. To answer the disease vs violence question, maybe we could find good points of comparison in the Old World Spanish conquests, where disease was presumably much less significant?
Or, more like an upside down tram, get the first big bunch of acceleration from ground electricty that doesn't count for weight.

Neither Go nor Zig are spelled ALLCAPS
I watch TikTok and watch their videos because my audience is just me. And because they are just me. I don't want to watch anyone else because I believe it's not worth watching them. But they are my audience. That's all I want. And they are my audience. And I feel like I should be making sure that they feel that way for me.

And they are making damn sure that it is worth watching.

When I think of this "I believe this thing is fucking worth watching" line I think of the way things used to be.
Not cynical enough: if private prisons with a profit motive delay prisoner release, they’ve made more money.
Not all "research" code is equal. I would imagine that research code closer to hard sciences and cutting edges is more difficult to keep clean. The trouble is when you're breaking new ground in applied science, you don't necessarily know how well the new tech will work, and exactly what you'll be able to do with it. As development progresses your expectations must be adjusted, and it is impossible to forecast the direction of highly experimental research since progress is typically incremental and constantly dependent on the most recent results.

There are many paths to scaling a mountain, so to speak, and sometimes for any of a multitude of reasons you end up on another peak long after you've started climbing.
How We Minimized the Overhead of Kubernetes in our Job System
I don't know where you live, but I would call US hyper capitalist. Overly privatized into the hands of the 1%. No health care. Everyday people mostly powerless and government pandering to companies for political support.

So my experience (government contracts have a floor of one person-year) doesn't match my experience with government contracts.
Go is starting to get a bit old though. Version 1.0 dates back from 2012, 9 years ago. It's as old and mature as Java was in 2005.
My desk at an old job was adjacent to the desk of the woman in charge of a safety process (some variant of 5S and something else, I think). Every week there'd be a small gathering at her desk including a couple managers and people from some other departments (not sure what their roles were otherwise, the managers I knew were a few levels above me in engineering).

I heard nearly every buzzword bingo term during those meetings. I swore off the idea of every becoming any kind of manager after that. Fast forward a decade, I'm pissed off with how things aren't working and aren't changing so I opt myself into a management adjacent position ("process improvement"). I ended up in many, many more management meetings than I ever want to and learned that there were still more buzzword bingo words for me to learn! I escaped after a time because I realized that they were just playing a convoluted drinking game (I think if you say or hear "synergy" 1000 times it's guaranteed to make you an alcoholic, but the drinks are after hours instead of when the game is played).
This is true and I use top level URLs for all of my resources in a REST api. You can however to a POST to articles/:id/comments and return location headers pointing to /comments/:id easily!

"two points: phones can be jailbroken"

that's like arguing that housing market is not a problem because you can live in a cave or a tent.

Most people aren't going to do that, bank apps refuse to work on jailbroken phones, etc.
In TikTok, it is easy to dismiss the whole project because, well, it's not a huge deal. It's fun. It's easy to take for granted that the entire thing is the work of a single person who is basically a public relations and marketing specialist named TiKTok. This is not a joke. This is a reality that requires every minute of the day to be spent creating an avatar for their fan base of 6.5M.

But TiKTok has only just launched that avatar. TiKTok has created another one. They are still creating the first and are hoping to add another.

And as a result, TikTok has become this strange thing called "the Internet's Most Dangerous Video." For some reason, even people who are a little skeptical have found the world and become so accustomed to the idea of TikTok and their little thing that they can't imagine how this project can kill their brains for some of the crazy shit they're actually watching on it.
> I don't think the average person is equipped to properly price this risk. I don't think I'd know how to properly hedge it, either.

I would agree with that.

As a nerd-snipe for hyper-optimisers and misers, griddy would be a good if risky (to clients) business. Publicly advertised to the general population it's at best unethical and at worst unconscionable and insane.
'Working alongside strangers online helps me focus'
Have you actually looked into the numbers regarding what lockdowns have done to mental health, not to mention the economic impacts which are going to feed back into people's well being in all sorts of ways? Just because your subjective experience of being a shut-in for nearly a year has been a tolerable one does not mean that has been the case for large numbers of people.

I want my kids to go to a harvest festival again with a live band and tons of people like the one they did in fall 2019. No, this is not something worth giving up simply to preserve a few years of life for some nonzero number of society's most vulnerable and aged. And no, I'm not any more willing to wait five years to see whether there's some lurking complications from the disease, any more than people have been willing to do that with the vaccines which are being distributed.

Not sure how well it works (and I have no setup to test), but there is this [1]. It's pretty old and Nim has evolved quite a bit in the last 4 years. It probably doesn't compile, but it might not be hard to spruce it up (not that this would be a great "intro project"). { EDIT: Open source is often pretty thankless. It might be that if you asked nicely of that repo owner that he would do the sprucing! :-) }

I know there are a few different protobuf impls floating around. Not sure how much google pubsub needs beyond that. It's probably not so far away. Maybe you can be the one to do the pubsub wrapper. :-) (I'm only trying to encourage, not enlist/conscript.)

Just medicate your kids if they are misbehaving. Its easier than actually being a parent. Hell you can watch your pharma stonks grow while you are at it.
I have the feeling that immutable data (with which I don’t mean copy on write) has an extreme potential for optimization but there doesn’t seem to be a good central collection of it.

Some tips from me: mmap works really well and easy with immutable data as the operating system will manage the memory pretty well. If you store strings ordered in a string table you can compare the pointers for blazing my fast string comparison.

It's difficult to do in most HTTP deployments where we try to limit HTTP response duration.

> if the deleted item is the one your cursor is sitting on, then you no longer have a frame of reference at all

Not a problem. If your order your results by timestamp and ID, then you provide the timestamp and ID of the last item returned, and take anything after. Doesn't matter if the item is still there or not.
> This is complete FUD with as-of-yet no scientific support. The lifetime effects of poverty and depression, in contrast, are quite well-studied and there's strong evidence that even a single year of unemployment can have a significant negative impact on lifetime health outcomes.

So because they haven't been studied, we should assume there are none? We know for sure that SARS has left most survivors with chronically reduced lung function, so there are a priori reasons to believe it is a risk for Covid19 as well.

Also, unemployment and poverty are not natural consequences of disease preparedness, they are consequences of specific policy decisions and of valuing the rights of rich people more than the vast majority of the population.

> The vast-majority of these people were on death's door already, whereas the people taken by overdoses and depression are in the prime of their lives.

No, they weren't. The majority had chronic illnesses that they would have expected to live more than 10 years with, but their lives were cut short by Covid19. Also, the majority of the increase in death rates in most places in the world has been due to Covid19.

Not to mention, the countries that took the disease the most seriously and had the most effective lockdowns ALSO had the shortest lockdowns and the most rapid economic recovery. Look at Vietnam for an excellent example. Short, localized, but quite extreme lock downs have meant that most of the country has been in business as usual mode for most of 2020, with less than 100 total deaths (total, in a country with half the population of the US living in an area the size of one state, neighboring China!), despite being the first country outside China to have community spread.
Why do you think this occurs? It doesn't make sense that people apply for a programming job without being able to do any programming...

No, it's now all about "extracting value", "rent seeking", "subscriptions", "censorship", "monopoly" and "control". We got bribed by FAANG and this is the consequence.

Texas's rates were capped at $9/kwhr, so "$10 or $100/kwhr" certainly wouldn't keep the obscene rates away.
TikTok describes itself as: "The most fun, honest, true and honest place on the web you will ever get." That's how TikTok feels. The thing about TikTok is that, like with Facebook itself, you know every detail right from the beginning. Your friends and everyone who you have ever interacted with on Facebook are your peers. But TikTok is more powerful than Facebook when it comes to the social fabric. TikTok is like a community hub with social networks where everyone can be themselves. There are no limits when it comes to who can do what and how they can interact with each other.
+1, My M1 Air has been panic-free so far.

That said, I've tried to keep it as a "dumb browser machine" at the moment (for unrelated reasons), so I haven't pushed it in any meaningful way so far.
It would have been nice if "cannot be used" meant that no one would be allowed to register it. From what I can see, example.org very much resolves and accepts HTTP connections. It even has an MX record...
It would be great to see some startups work on interplanetary video streaming tech. If you're building an other video streaming service, stop what your doing, and give this a try. I know I know. Very, very hard to solve and all, and this is totally a fanboy speaking, but it would have been awesome if we could have seen this footage in (as close as possible to) real-time when the landing happened.
One of the things we learn later, is that metaphors can be used dishonestly.
It amazed me that after almost 3 decades we still don't have "the way" to take notes on computer.

Evernote came close to it for me before they mess their UI. Native Notes on iOS and on Mac is pretty straightforward but misses search features and is.. ugly. Ending up with several .txt files a little like OP organized in folders is also nice as it should survived most of potential future changes in term of everything and allows you to whichever editor but seems inefficient.
related question - anyone have any nice view-aware ways to deal with zone data? (and ideally, have some API and manage DHCP as well?) hacking together some scripts to export from a database, but would be nicer to use someone elses already-maintained hacked up scripts :)
Are C++20 coroutines allowed to be recursive? Or does recursing require boxing?

For a stackless coroutine the compiler normally has to build a state machine to represent the possible execution contexts, but if the state machine includes itself then it has indeterminate size. Normally you solve this by boxing the state machine at yield points and using dynamic dispatch to call or resume a pending coroutine - which may be significantly slower than using a stackful coroutine to begin with (in which case, the stack is allocated on the heap up front, leading to a higher price to spawn the coroutine, but lower to resume or yield).
> Edit: On the other hand, Discord could have made the very valid decision that they have an easier time recruiting for Rust than for Go. Which is in fact a good reason to switch.

In other words, discard the technical arguments laid out in the article and just speculate that it was an HR/management decision.
You are underestimating people’s problems. If I don’t keep focusing on something else, my mind turns very dark, quickly.

People who do that know it is extremely bad, but it’s “this or something worse”. At least in the immediate time.

Of course I’d love if people actually had the solidarity they pretend to have, but they don’t. The world is not a kind place. And so, there are many people like me, who appear kind and peaceful and well-mannered, and who work constantly to calm their internal boiler. So no reason to try to make me remove my headphones (unless one addresses me on the street - there are politeness rules)

Also, it is very frustrating when people “try to give you a lesson” by walking towards you as if you didn’t see them. It’s headphones, not a blindfold. People don’t do that when I have a book while walking.

As a summary, my life is pretty much like the movie “Her”. I’ve tried not to be lonely and faced with people being insanely frustrating/angering. So I’ve embraced loneliness and mobile phones. It’s like drugs, slightly better because I still work efficiently.
I would agree with that. Griddy specifically marketing towards poorer populations by touting savings is really objectionable at the best of times.
I think the clinical guidance is still the same, that is you get admitted when you are showing certain symptoms regardless of vaccination status.
According to this https://www.influencer.agency/instagram-influencer-rates/ it's ~$10k for a campaign from an influencer with 1M+ followers.

None of the early stage startups I know even tries to compete with FAANGs on compensation. I don’t know if it’s because of disparity of information on the side of the employees, or simply people joining for a wild ride (I suspect it’s both). Not to say salaries have not gone up, but not to those levels.

That said, it is also uncommon for me to see startup employees which previously worked for FAANGs (you do see founders).

Why is it a requirement that the developer you're seeking be young? Isn't this an example of arbitrary discrimination based on age? Just asking.
S3 is a 3rd party for most people.
Age is a topic which will generate a spectrum of responses. Why not do the same with someone who may have a little more experience in working but wants to transition into dev? You'll find a lot of people who are interested in the prospect of getting paid more. You'll probably meet a lifelong happy mentee.
I will be sure to relay this answer to my non-tech friends who ask about cryptocurrencies.

I’m sure this answer will send them running to buy.

/s

All joking aside, for a conversation you say you have weekly, this is a really lame answer due to the abstractness of it.

My guess is the reason you don’t give concrete answers is because either tech already exists for that use case or non-crypto tech could be easily developed if it doesn’t already exist.

Please, please, prove me wrong. I want to be a crypto fan, but vague answers like the ones you provided above are the reason a lot of people think crypto is smoke and mirrors and/or snake oil salesmen.
So the government writes up a spec for how the legalese should map to code that engineers then implement? How is that different from what happens now?
>The same happens with PAKE during registration, where the user will need to provide the verifier.

In a typical PAKE, generated challenge depends on random values generated by both server and user, so if at least one of them is not controlled by an attacker, the generated challenge will be different each time. So leaking the verifier or eavesdropping on previous logins does not help an attacker to impersonate user in any way.
