The problem can be managed somewhat depending on the language and tooling. I have used this advice for archived_at or deleted_at before. In the database it’s a NULLable timestamp column. In application code I would map this field to an Instant? (Kotlin) and a computed isArchived val that checks for presence of the archivedAt field.

I want to work with Rust more and when I get to that point I'll likely start gathering money for a TR Pro but until then, and me mostly working with dynamical languages, even old-ish i7 CPUs are more than adequate.
git-ps is an extension on top of Git to allow you to basically locally manage a stack of patches. Once you are then ready to have one of those patches peer reviewed you do a git ps rr <patch-index> and it takes and creates branch appropriately based on your patch stacks base and cherry-picks that patch into that branch, and then pushes that branch up.

This allows you to use the local Patch Stack style workflow similar to the Linux Kernel team but while still using GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab to do the peer review process.

Everything else I have tried including quilt and the various other tools that have attempted to do this all feel too complicated and too much work.

No offense to the authors of st-git and the work they have put in. But, personally the workflow with it has felt too complicated to me and not natural.

git-ps is the first way I have found where managing the stack of patches feels easy and natural while still allowing me to use GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab for peer review.

Check out my article on it here to understand the workflow better, https://upte.ch/blog/how-we-should-be-using-git/

This is an obvious scam if you do the math.

Assuming the full scale version delivers peak power for 11 seconds like the prototype, 2MW peak power would be 6 kilowatt hours of energy.

That's terrible. We're taking about dropping hundreds, maybe thousands of tons down a mine shaft to get the same amount of power as $700 of lithium batteries you could carry in a backpack. For instantaneous loads you're way better off using flywheels, which we've already had for decades.

Gravity is weak, literally. The only realistic use case for gravity generation is hydro power. And MAYBE reverse hydro power where we put giant gas bags underwater and they make energy floating up

Autopilot in aircraft does not land the plane or take off and the pilot is trained to take over if anything goes wrong this maps well with expectations you should have about tesla AP. And IMO a torque sensor is much less intrusive / complex safety check than driver monitoring . And people do fall a sleep on the wheel people drink and drive the fact of the matter is if you're paying the insurance it's on you to keep the car from crashing . FSD will be prod ready only after Tesla has data to release an insurance per car covering the passenger aswell.

The effectiveness unfortunately has eroded over the past years. There's a huge supply gap in almost all major cities. Moving people to the other side of the country for a house might not always be a bad things (it could help them break away from a toxic social circle) but it also tears them away from family, their job and their support system.

With the forecast being that the housing crisis will last until 2030 I'm not sure how much longer it will be effective.
Deep fakes seem destined to be the next source of political disinformation. The trouble is that by the time the 'deep fake' has been debunked, it has already made it's impact by spreading at rocket speed across social media. It's quite chilling what the consequences could be for political campaigns and debate.

This is an example of 'deep fakes' of two British politicians. If you look closely you can spot something amiss in the way they speak. Lots of people won't be look closely though. And this is from 2019 - the technology can only have improved since then.

Even lunar space elevator will cost an insane amount of money (and likely still not possible in this century), and it will be irrational to build it just to get some cheap fuel into orbit.

And even then gas station in Lunar orbit is useless. If there is a need to refuel, you will simply get fuel into orbit directly from whatever container in the elevator to the ship nearby. There is zero point in inserting a proxy station in the middle of this process.

However we juggle the possibilities of space travel, in 99% of all schemes gas station in space is useless.

How I see it: Copying an API is copying technical aspects for interoperability reasons. Copyright covers creative aspects, not technical aspects. If the API is covered by patents then the reproduction of technical aspects will be tortuous.

The important thing with copyright is whether you copied, not how you copied. So copying a work by looking at it and then duplicating it is still creating a derivative -- or could be of you reproduce a substantial part of the creative work.

Now, AWF's position seems tenable to me as there are apects of the photo that are not the _creative_ input of the photographer; namely the likeness of the subject. Duplication of those aspects is akin to duplication of the API: is duplication of apects that are not the creative work of the creator of the first work (in one case because those aspects are technical, in the other case because those aspects are just the features of a person's face [the photographer didn't creatively produce those features, unless they're a plastic surgeon!]).

Now, Warhol did copy. Unlike Google he didn't need to copy that particular work for interoperability reasons. To me the fact that any photo would have embodied the subject's features equally well means Warhol had no need to copy this one. That makes AWF's case distinct from Google v.
By starting with a more relatable premise. Even within this very tech-minded and privacy-conscious audience, only a microscopic minority will be interested in actually taking such measures.

> Progress is fragile, not inevitable and everything we have can be lost in a generation just as easily as it was made.

This, on the other hand, is important, and why it's important not to let people wreck it by lying about everything.

Worth questioning the "whig view of history" backwards as well; a lot of what we call progress had very large costs for certain groups of people at the time and made their lives worse. Or got them killed.

The main issue is management; not engineering. I'm actually quite chuffed at some of the amazing tools I have at my disposal, these days (like profilers and code coverage tools, as well as runtime debuggers). I "grew up" in tech from the early 1980s, and things have changed.

The one thing I miss are ICEs (In-Circuit Emulators). Those were badass, but processors are so massive, and so fast, that a real ICE would probably cost a couple of million dollars, and be out of date by the time it hit the market.

Tech can't fix bad managers, and money is like Miracle-Gro™ for bad management, if it incentivizes rotten quality.

What did you back up exactly?

You said no one uses cryptocurrency, I linked you an article with its own sources saying there are over 100 million users.

You said cheap transactions are because no one uses them, I linked you a graph of actual transactions showing bitcoin cash has more transactions than regular bitcoin even though it has 1/600th the transaction cost and I explained why. I told you how monero dynamic block size work, which is something you can verify if some day you want to learn.

You there are no uses, I pointed out multiple uses and you didn't contradict any. You just said you personally didn't want them.

You said you could do anything with some money transfer service, I pointed out the actual numbers which involve 3-4 business day transactions and a cost of $7.50 to RECIEVE a wire transfer.

Meanwhile you keep making assertions and thinking that repeating them is the same as explaining them. Then you ignore everything that directly contradicts what you say to try to talk about nonsense that has no relevance, then you say 'there is a lack of focus'.

This is what people do when they have their conclusions picked out ahead of time and are desperate to get their nonsense validated. It is everything people hate about political discourse - no reality, no sources, no evidence, no data and no accountability when someone lies.

Okay, I came here to talk about how the images are a bit soft and a quick, subtle pass of Richardson-Lucy deconvolution restores some detail (and enhances the film grain, that's a plus for me but some people may find it a bit too much -- it is still there in the pictures though).

And then I read your comment and you totally throw me into a Wikipedia rabbit hole with the Roman concrete... Speaking of which, what do you mean we can't make Roman concrete nowadays?

> No one has any idea what ... its physical correlates ... are

We do know a fair bit about the neural (physical) correlates of consciousness in humans, and the evolutionary purpose of those facets of consciousness, such as fear or pain.

This understanding can help us to make a reasoned guess that cows are more capable of suffering than a small lump of cells in a blastocyst:

(1) We can see that cows have similar brain structures to humans[1], where those brain structures (amygdala, etc) are known to be a necessary condition for pain or fear perception in humans, and those same brain structures are absent in a blastocyst.

(2) We know that pain and fear is an adaptation that all/most mammals likely have, because (i) it confers significant fitness, and because (ii) it manifests below our cortex (e.g. in the amygdala) which suggests it evolved fairly early.

My claim isn't that a blastocyst doesn't have consciousness. My claim is that its consciousness and capability to suffer is likely to be less than that of a cow (based on the above reasoning), and so society should make sure it is being ethically consistent in the way it treats both.

My first question to you would be - if your position is correct, i.e. that we should be extremely ethically cautious with blastocysts because they may suffer and have conscious states - how can society then ethically justify abortion?

My second question would be - how can a meat eater (which you might not be) express such ethical caution pertaining to blastocysts but willingly eat meat? [I am a meat eater].

[1] This is pertaining to sheeps' (not cows') amygdala, but the point is the same - https://anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.2...

Now that I think of it, I do think of it as 1-to-1 substitution, but it is not completely trivial - when transforming to machine code, you do generally have to keep track of where in the code you are to know whether to try to transform an assembly language token into a machine language opcode or into some other sort of machine language value.

The fact that referees give more yellow cards to away teams could be explained by, for example, away teams deserving more yellow cards.

Yet another BS observational study that claims casualty.
Things can't be further detached from reality. Once you ever spend a few days with a herd of cows, you get a feeling for their personalities, their joy, their pain. Comparing to a group of humans, be it kids on a playground or some factory worker, you really start to wonder why in one case we allow ownership, life-long suffering and death under excruciating pain, while in the other case those things are punished by lifelong imprisonment or even the death penalty.

You can't claim "but we don't know what conciousness is" to justify how we treat animals while at the same time have the strongest protections for fellow human beings. Well, usually only those of your own backyard, since we westerners also tend to treat third world country populations like sh*.

Construction material is a meaningless metric. If you compare coal or gas plants you need to consider the materials they consume and infrastructure needed for fuel transport. This is a big number, many times the material used for the plant itself.

The only meaningful comparison is material used vs solar. Once these things are built they use near zero resources. For everything else you have to keep mining shitloads of material forever.

How much coal do we have to mine for coal plants? How many gas wells and pipelines for gas plants? What about transport? How much does it take to mine and process all the uranium into fissile isotopes for nuclear?

With wind and solar you plop the thing in a field and get years, maybe decades of energy with no input.

I'm convinced that all these land use and building materials costs studies are just FUD funded by the fossil fuel industry.
