Of course open source also needs maintenance, but maintenance isn't suddenly cheaper because you bought a big commercial solution. The difference is that for open-source, you are not reliant on the original provider to maintain it, but can pick from a large range of open-source dev shops and consultancies to help as long as the size of the system is tractable. (or if it's a big thing, hire your own people and bring in external support as needed)
'vice' ... 'factual reporting' ...

Good grief.

VICE is a street punk magazine founded by 1990's hustlers trying to make some money.

I remember reading them back when they would have articles like "How to eat Pu$$y".

Seriously.

The entire 'hipster journalism' and then the woke evolution is just an extension of the hype.

They are a gritty pair of sneakers owned by an old guy looking to make billions, that's it.

FYI Gavin McInnes is not so much 'Far Right' as he is like a Football Firm (i.e. football hooligan). It's not ideological, it's street macho/alpha ridiculousness. They are the street-level version of Trumpism.

It's always been a hustle.
> A reminder that the goal of an interview process is not to be fair. This is not a sports event or a court case.

Given the power that companies have over individual workers, I'd say that a job interview should be treated as seriously as a court case. So yes, making it fair should be an explicit goal.

I agree it's not _hard_, but your original assertion was "All I need to make that work is variable rates". Now, you're talking about installing additional HVAC equipment and spending $$$.

In the summer, even if you cool your house down to 60F, it'll be back to 70F in a couple hours max. Electricity rates from renewable overproduction do not vary on the timescale of hours. It's not a solution without new equipment to "store" the hot or cold that you produce when electricity is cheap.
Sure they write new ones to justify their rule. I’m thinking of constitutions in working democratic countries who protect the rights of citizens and how they only provide rights as long as institutions are there to provide a a theoretically just enforcement. After all constitutions in most western countries came about to restrain the sovereign.

> What changed?

Very briefly: Satya Nadella running Microsoft since 2014. Microsoft's cloud offering, Azure, is now a core part of the Microsoft's business. There's a lot of competition in the cloud business. Azure runs a lot of .NET code so they're incentivized to make it performant. Bing runs on .NET 6 for instance.

On a language level, there's been quite a bit of competition in the past decade with players like Node, Go, Elixir, etc, and even Java bringing for instance low latency GC such as ZGC/Shenandoah to the game.

On a technical level, Microsoft more or less rewrote NET to work for multi-platform/Linux with NET Core. NET Framework is tied to Windows and cannot move fast as a result for fear of breaking changes. They can make changes much faster with .NET Core 2/3 and .NET 5/6.

Last, you can't overlook that .NET is also a marketing tool. Having it on the top of benchmarks, getting people talking about it etc., will draw more eyes to Microsoft and Azure.

yup. lets spend $55b + the time it takes to actually do the construction + wait another 10 years, and then it will pay for itself by moving oil tankers. climate change: someone else's problem.
I don’t know that reference but I could imagine it could be rooted in that concern. Probably why they established the three branches in the us.

Even achieving just one hour of storage globally amounts to 2.5 TWh of storage. By comparison the entire world produces ~300 GWh worth of lithium ion battery annually. That leaves geographically limited options like pumped hydroelectricity, and solutions not yet deployed at any significant scale like hydrogen fuel cells, synthetic methane, thermal batteries, flywheels, etc.

Realistically we should saturate daytime energy demand with solar, and if there aren't any scalable storage options by then switch gears and proceed with hydroelectric where it's viable and nuclear where it's not.

> I am not sure how you make macaroni and cheese that it only takes 20 minutes. Just getting the water boiling, adding the macaroni, cooking it, and draining it is going to take at least 15.

While the noodles are draining you take some of the noodle water, some milk, and some cheese and mix it together in the still warm pot over the lowest heat setting on your stove top?

But seriously what were you doing those 15 minutes? You could have your cheese sauce ready to go and put the noodles almost directly into it.

I think to answer the op's question, the reason boxed mac & cheese is so popular is two part. American's don't have the time or energy to prepare a meal, and they don't know how to.

Making a single dish is easy, making multiple dishes for a meal is tricky when you're not familiar with the kitchen. Americans don't cook anymore.
Indeed and many of the terms, like “idiot” were pseudoscientific as well. Done and justified “by science” but this is not a condemnation of the scientific method. In fact, it further proves liberal science is the best known approach to knowledge and truth as it leaves open that bad science can be crushed by better science. I hope we continue this way however anti liberal science our politics are today.
I vehemently disagree. Stuff like this is very subject to "things were better in my day".

It's because the extension is written by, and "powered by", MagicBell. They are writing it to bring attention to their product concept, where notifications like this are all handled by them.
I have a family member that buys her products religiously.

Besides Mac & Cheese, they make everything from frozen dinners, to $3.99 soups. She is opening up restaurants too.

Her brilliance is making the public believe they are eating slightly better than the rest of us, which is probably true? It’s to bad the bar is so low.

“Natural, non-gmo, healthy, etc.”. Oh yea, the packaging is brilliant too.

If you are a vegetarian, buying her foods is an easy choice.

That said, most of the food seems slightly better than the brand names products in terms of healthy food.

The brilliance of her product is basically marketing. I was glad when my sister said, “I am eating to many of her frozen dinners. I’m beginning to think they are not good for me?”

I didn’t say anything. (Oh yea, if you live with anyone on a strict vegetarian diet, don’t say anything. Trust me.). I was thinking, the secret to her food is that mysterious cheese. You could put it on anything, and it would taste palatable, but not at her price point for myself.
> Cloudflare's protection is to guard against traffic spikes and automated malicious attacks

This simply isn't true. By my reading, Cloudflare implies any automated traffic that doesn't openly advertise itself as such is bad. They certainly seem to be happy to assist you in blocking it regardless of whether it was actually malicious or actually causing traffic problems. (https://blog.cloudflare.com/super-bot-fight-mode/)
Yes. It's also the structure of the insurance policies. Dental insurance typically has a relatively low annual maximum payout which caps the insurer's losses on any given customer. Health insurers have the potential for nearly unlimited liability on any given customer and design Kafkaesque processes to try to wriggle out of it.
That is the theory that matches the data sent by the transponder and is the opinion of an expert hydrodynamicist. So pretty much yeah, that is how it worked.

One suspects the only thing that would have prevented this disaster is if they pilot had put it into full reverse when the wind stopped pushing it. There is so much momentum on these things it would continue to go forward, but it would have a force vector in reverse that was applying (perhaps successfully, perhaps not) a counter torque to the direction of travel.

The factor that drives up price for grid level storage is scale. Only ~300 GWh worth of batteries is produced globally each year. The world uses 2.5 TWh of electricity each hour. If anyone tries to install battery storage at a significant scale, demand will vastly outstrip supply and drive prices up.

Even as the product of a dysfunctional home, Aimee's actions and political positions are unacceptable, and should be swatted down - if only to teach her that they are not okay.

Who really needs to be taken to task for this: Anyone who participated in the hiring and then covering for this creep. Hiring Aimee Challenor in a well-supervised manual labor position would be commendable. Hiring Aimee Challenor as an moderator of an online forum, based on her history of moderating an online forum aimed at children, knowing her political positions (and there's no argument to be made that they didn't, as the whole thing came about because they had instituted special protections based on those) should result in jail time.

I remember giving, for a period of time, candidate a simple kids block programming game. The task was to put blocks together to escape ever more complicated labyrinths.

I stopped when I noticed candidates do worse at this game than actual 7 year old kids.

For example, a simple labirynth. Kids just give simple instructions (forward 3 blocks, turn right, forward 2 blocks, turn left, etc.). Candidates... try to figure out a complicated algorithm with a result that they run out of time producing nothing.

I wonder how much of this is effect of knowing you are being watched and your program analyzed and how much of this can be related to real world projects that developers just overcomplicate for no reason leading to worse results than just simple code you could throw in a fraction of the if you knew you are only judged for the effect and not for the code.

I read the game of thrones novels ages ago in pulp paperback and tried to read the fifth one as an ebook and I simply could not keep track of the various character story lines, names, etc. that I had no problem with while reading the physical books.

I'm very sure that just remembering how much of the book was in my left hand and how much in the right was extremely valuable in helping me remember - basically having an additional dimension recorded in my memory made it much easier.
Yup. I recommend watching Justice Scalia talk about exactly that in this video: https://youtu.be/Ggz_gd--UO0
I disagree.

If you are a leader in a field, and you have forgotten or no longer can do the work at the very lowest levels (for example, even something simply like mopping), you have lost an expertise that made you valuable in the first place.

I see the argument. Essentially:

- RMS doesn't contribute code to GCC
- RMS scares off other people from contributing to GCC
- RMS has made questionable decisions in treating women
- RMS does not fully condemn everything we call pedophilia.

Hence, according to the argument, there is little to no upside to having him in there, and quite some upside to removing him.
Welcome to the Wonderful World of Clusters
Compare mobile phones to PC today, you will find that a PC made like five or more years ago can run the latest software without issues while for mobile devices, they can hardly survive for more than three years (I guess?) since the ability to support a new Android version completely depends on the SoC manufacturer. You may also upgrade part of the hardware of PC or install whatever OS you like on them if you want to. However, look at those "smart" phones, which are not smart at all: you are limited to a few Android versions and you are forced to install all these proprietary userspace drivers (HALs for example). Moreover, if you want to have full access to your device (Root), you have to bag the vendor for that privilege (Xiaomi, Huawei, etc. OnePlus is way better), which should be the right for everyone.

This is because the PC market is standardized (I guess, correct me if I'm wrong), compared to the phone market which has all of these proprietary blobs, private interfaces and lockdown. I hope we could have open source drivers, standardized hardware and software interfaces (like UEFI) for mobile smart devices just as PC does. Thus we can install whatever operating system or software without limitations. Also there will be less e-waste just as PC.
A 60 gallon tank is considered large around here, so no wonder you had a 200 gal tank if it only heated at night!
Proprietary route:

input: 5+ years and 100 million dollars

output: crappy system

maintenance: still necessary, hire anyone but probably the expensive guys from before

The route that these parents demonstrated:

input: a few months and presumably a whole lot less money

output: something that seems to be well-liked

maintenance: still necessary, hire anyone

Regardless of "but who's going to maintain it", the benefits should be clear here. People don't work on open source code because they get paid to and shrug when they do something useless or even detrimental just because the boss says so. They work on it for a passion. Now if you hire a company to write the open source code, you kind of lose that benefit, but if the development is out in the open, the public can at least keep track of it and say "but this doesn't make sense" or "let's get a working system before we spend another 4 years over-engineering and bloating this". This open model is how the corona tracker was developed in the Netherlands and it worked super well. The question is now whether the government will dare to do it again with the next IT project.
Thanks!

> Just getting the water boiling, adding the macaroni, cooking it, and draining it is going to take at least 15.

Really depends on the heat output of your burner (for the get it boiling part); most elbow macaroni is, IIRC, 7-10 minutes cook time, draining takes seconds, and most of the sauce can be done while the noodles are cooking. 20 minutes total is perfectly reasonable.

OTOH, where the box saves you is in how busy you are, since it doesn't take multitasking, and cleanup, since it's one-pot, while sauce and noodles in parallel takes two.
