Well it could help you in that, and we know that because other VCSes do. Have you managed a large inexperienced team with an offshore component? You are herding cats and there is never enough time to look at everything.
Why would they be idle? They can pivot for a reason and I haven't seen turbines very close together in any direction. Sometimes they are indeed arranged in a long row, but even then, why not use all the wind energy they can get? I could imagine problems with turbulence and mechanical wear close to maximum design wind speed and yeah, they might shut down then.
The article just presents it as news.

Not every article or comment needs a long winded disclaimer on how they feel about a topic just so they don't get cancelled. I know thats a foreign concept to some people.

It's significantly better now! They've done a lot in the last 3 years, and during that timeframe was when cross signing and e2ee DMs became default. It's not perfect, but it's by far the best I've found for my priorities, and I think it's much more reasonable for regular people now. And if not now, hopefully soon! As a sibling mentioned, some of the alternative clients are also getting good.
No. If they were, a lot more people would be buying and trading them.

Trendy assets with no intrinsic value (e.g. trading cards, NFTs) are high-risk.

Assets like land and housing have utility. Assets like stock are supposed to have value because you have a share of the profits, although many people still speculate on public markets.

Put your money into something you use first, like a home purchase. Even if the price collapses, you may still be saving yourself money every month vs. renting.

Then move to something that generates value, like a high-yield index fund.
Hi pracer this looks good. Just curious are oscilloscopes and logic analyzers some software or we need to purchase both? (wouldn't be a bad idea to put down the $$ TBH if one wants to take hardware as a serious hobby)

Curve25519 was introduced in 2005 and seems to have had rapid uptake in academia due to the reputation of one of the authors (djb).

So Curve25519 has had 16 years of widespread academic scrutiny. That’s “battle-tested” by modern cryptographic standards.
That was insightful
On an internet where websites have clumsily censored objectionable content like the town of S---thorpe for the past quarter century and where even liberal democratic states administered by people calling themselves free speech conservatives support global filters for "adult content", a private project backed by the marketing idea that AI is inherently unsafe deciding that people using its procedural text generation to roleplay their child rape fantasies might be bad for PR despite its otherwise unusually permissive content policy doesn't really sound like a step change...

> preventing the use of AI Dungeon to create child sexual abuse material.

I am shocked to hear this was possible to begin with. It was my understanding that AI Dungeon could only generate text, and did so entirely on computers. But now we learn that not only are children somehow involved (violating child labor laws?), but that they can even be sexually abused?

In that case, "blocking certain words" is not nearly enough - whoever was responsible for creating this system should be charged with, if not child sexual abuse, then at the very least reckless child endangerment!
People just play games differently. I like to keep the wiki open, but not go to lengths to min-max. My brother likes to min-max and be efficient as possible.

The beauty of games is that they allow different playstyles. I will say that Stardew tends to push towards min-max because time moves so fast. That's how I felt, anyway. Playing with a mod to slow down time about 25-30% made the game much less stressful.
Haha, ya, in the end, tables are still the simplest to reason about when it comes to layout! I kept using them long past when we weren't supposed to since the whole float thing was a mess and compatibility was still a big issue.

While it's a ton of markup, tables are build upon a few easy-to-remember concepts and you can do anything (including vertically align without googling!). I'm still constantly looking up flex and grid rules.

That said, I did move on.
Google and apple are not securing your data. Any app on your phone that uses the internet already talks to an external API. And they can sell your data to anyone at any time without google/apple ever knowing about it. And that's normal. https doesnt really do much to make your data secure. But google/apple arent even needed to force apps to use https. Your phone can just say it's required by default. Google/apple are just pretending they do something for you, it's just all about control, so they can have all the profit. It's basically the same as the government saying they do not allow any other foodstores other than storeX. Because other stores might sell you food that's poisoned or expired. So to protect u, we dont allow any other stores. And storeX can just decide what the price is, what food you're allowed to buy, etc etc. It's shit. You dont want this.
If you look at the actual study[1] it's not just vertical turbines but also their formation [2]that (could) increase efficacy of large-scale wind farms.

> There is no scientific evidence pointing to the mind being anything other than an emergent property of the structure of the neurons in the brain.

The mind, no, but the mind isn't what we talk about in this context when we talk about 'consciousness'. Alpha Go has a mind, but does it have a conscious experience of being? How many neurons are required for that?

That said, I agree that a simulation hypothesis is not necessary to resolve the 'problem' and, as far as I am concerned, the problem only exists because people insist on believing that they are more special than the rest of the world around them.
Investigative report by Scorpion Capital about Quantumscape's Battery [pdf]
VAWTs have a better tolerance for turbulence since they don’t need to face into the wind. They also continue to operate in gusty conditions. They do have downsides but make up for it with a smaller footprint, reduction in moving parts and the advantages listed above.
There is a similar "Teflon Flu" as well which could be triggered by improper usage of teflon coated cookware.

I tip my hat to whoever wrote this
The book industry was not hit driven and it which was more profitable in the early 1960s when the book industry was owned by people who were good at publishing.

By the mid-1960's every petroleum and electronics conglomerate had capital that it couldn't put back in its own business, so they started buying other businesses, and publishers were a popular target.

Once the publishers were controlled by people who were motivated by money they tried to make more of it but in the process profitability dropped, sometimes below zero.
Communities are overrated. They can be toxic, suffer from groupthink, operate in secret, and have high barriers to entry. But I agree with the poster that a "map of communities" that can organize and direct knowledge-sharing and communication is really useful.
I like the "headline idea" - and have been writing scifi stories based on it, and have a long list of stories in planning based on variations over this concept. E.g. things like the necessity for a "speed limit" and time dilation can fall out pretty neatly if you assume a distributed network of simulations.

But this thing is all over the place and makes a whole bunch of pretty ridiculous claims it does not support. E.g. the "problem of free will" section doesn't solve anything - all it does is present infinite regress and call it a solution (if "free will" comes from "outside", then the "problem" has not been solved, just lifted up one level in a way that if you keep giving the same answer will just keep on going without a resolution). The same applies to its purported "solution" to the mind-body problem.

Others, like the "problem of personal identity" does not need a physical explanation, and there's no reason to assume that physical reality has a bearing one way or the other on it.

But it falls apart also with respect to it's explanation of the basics. E.g. there's absolutely no physical reason why recording or simulation of physical data needs to be limited, and using it as an explanation is a weakness. It makes presumptions about the nature of such a simulation that we can't make. Now, there are efficiency reasons why one might conceivably do things this way, and to me a lot of the appeal of writing sci-fi about this subject is that I get to speculate a lot about how I'd try to implement such a simulation.

But as written this isn't even good scifi.

Digital Pharmacy Capsule Tops $1B with New Capital Raise
Bitcoin and permission-less currencies are bad news for countries like Russia and Iran. These countries can already transact through designated individuals and off-shore companies. Crypto still need an off-on ramp to traditional finance.

On the other hand, these nation states would use cryto if they were technical and knowledgeable enough of the intricacies of such market. Venezuela already launched its own crypto-currency (the Petrodollar) which was a complete flop. You'd think that a nation state with all its resources, people, sovereignty and army would be able to make a cryptocurrency (probably an Ethereum fork) work. Well, it's simple: They can't.

Most countries today rely on a system they barely understand how it works. They collect taxes, print money and try to export/import stuff. The whole system is glued together by a nation that somehow appeared before, during or shortly after the second world war. Their answer to instability in markets is almost always restrictions (either in money transfers, or blocking imports, or arbitrarily confiscating wealth).

These systems have barely evolved especially in less developed countries, and even in first class countries are still quite archaic. It doesn't help that these system do not have knowledgeable people about these technologies who could help shape policy, recognize trends or act.

The only reason these countries still have semi-functioning finances is that a large portion of the population never heard, or have the technical capabilities to deal with crypto. The newer generation is going to force a re-draw of nation states and probably bankrupt some governments in the process (it's already starting to happen).

I'm not sure that is overlooked. It is just not especially relevant for a modern world where the huge majority of versioned development at centralized organizations is done with git.

Almost none of these thinkpieces about git are saying that Linus was foolish in his approach or that he should have anticipated git becoming the lingua franca for junior engineers at megacorps. Instead almost all of them are talking about git's failing in modern development and bemoaning the lack of a better option, followed by a bunch of people insisting that git is actually awesome as long as you can reason about graphs.

I think your criticism here is actually implicitly already part of almost every discussion about git in modern times.
yeah but all you have to do is unload your fake coins on a guy in the financial sector who uses the term "fugazi" unironically.
Additionally the larger ones appear to need guy-wires to presumably prevent the whole structure from wobbling as rpms increase.
I think you misunderstand my intent. It is not to say that there is anything wrong, per-se, with playing a game in a manner that is wholly contrary to its themes. However, that is, by definition, perverse.
Having "choose your theme" as almost the first question felt very out of place. Like, someone is really proud of those themes, more than any other part of the site :) I'd just leave that out completely, the default theme is fine and you can change it from the menu anyway. Everything else was really slick, but I didn't understand any of the goals (not in the US).
An example that comes to mind is reddit banning the jailbait subreddit. Not too long after reddit started its campaign of removing "offensive" subs more broadly. Fatpeoplehate, gendercritical, watchpeopledie, etc have all been victims of the new censorious mindset.

The effect must come from vortex interaction or syncronization and it would be interesting to see. If there is some form of strong coupling it may increase efficiency but induce vibrations.

WhatsApp was a game changer for people that had international contacts. Before WhatsApp, all the mobile networks (at least in the US) charged exorbitant amounts of money for international SMS and MMS.

Then, WhatsApp came and it was free and cross platform, compressed images and video to send them quick with decent quality, and free of spam. Absolutely perfect execution, in my opinion. If it was not owned by Facebook, I’d probably pay a considerable amount for it if it promised security and privacy.
There's more to know beyond the software aspect. Web apps require a lot of knowledge too, but it mostly falls under the umbrella of software. Application software is just one of many things an embedded engineer does.

Start with the basic skills you'd need for any software like data structures and algorithms. But you'll actually need to know it for the job, not just for the interview.

Add extra low-level computer systems skills.

Add electronics skills.

Depending on the application, you might also need to know control systems, signal processing, communications theory, hardware security, or computer architecture, for example.

Then add the engineering math/physics knowledge for the specific domain.

It adds up. If you can't do those things, all of those problems need to already be solved, simplified, and polished for you. At that point, you've avoided firmware engineering and gone right back to application development.
I like the icon for debt. Just from that you can tell this software wasn't made by a business.

They don't. Whatsapp degrades image/video quality massively. Just a choice they made given that a lot of their customers are bandwidth constrained. If I have to send a photo that I took with my high quality phone camera, I prefer to use iMessage.
You could have horizontal axis turbines with half of them rotating clockwise and half anticlockwise, though it seems the effect is minor, less than 2%:

"counter-rotating configurations were more efficient in power generation than the control case in which all turbines have one clockwise rotor; the alternate-row case was found to produce 1.4% more power "

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S22131...

Overall there's probably a lot of ways left to optimize on wind farm level. For example the yaw angles https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03062...

A divemaster once told me that the best training he ever had for recreational diving was doing a technical diving course, because knowing your limits was no longer something optional.

The written test for open-water felt inadequate to me; I expect most reasonably smart people could pass it without any study, what with only needing 75% on multiple choice.

This is true. But the number of devs who work entirely in shell is dwindling as basically everything transitions to IDEs.

I totally disagree. There is a reason why we use linters to enforce style guides. Tooling and automation always helps, even if you have strong engineers who are trying to do the right thing.
Same applies even moreso when it's government run...

I'd caution generally against the argument that "it has been tried before and didn't work." There are undoubtedly value lessons to learn from earlier attempts. But "don't even think about it" is almost never one of those lessons.
I think you should make it a little more obvious that you start off without creating an account, because I was a little off put at first that it looks like Personal Capital, Mint, etc where you have to provide a bunch of personal info before even seeing anything.

Anyways very interesting graphs and stuff, I'd be interested if once you have the monte carlo simulations up if there was like a demo mode to just show what it did for a test person to show the value of what it could do for me.
Having worked with them in the past I can summarize them as having great presentations and NO substance. Any company that hires them will lose, and it is a sign of a company to short if they are public. The IT equivalent of the Darwin awards. Accenture continues to thrive.
They're paying over 5 years, so assuming equal payments, roughly $2.16 billion per year. The 2021 national budget is estimated at $469.8 billion[1], so about 0.5% of the budget.

I see another comment here questioning whether the South Korean government can really be trusted to be good stewards of that much money. I don't know. Samsung has certainly done a lot for the country. Maybe the kids would do just as much good as the father. Let's not pretend government has done nothing for them, though. The Samsung family today hasn't starved in a famine or been executed by a despot because of the actions of governments. My old battalion, the 3/8 CAV, was nearly completely wiped out in a single day back in 1950 in Unsan trying to ensure South Korea was able to exist at all.[2] This was the single bloodiest day in 1st CAV history.

> have a subdirectory contain the web-accessible files

You can also separate your git repository from the working directory. I have my git repositories at ~/repositories, with a post-receive hook that checks out the working directories at ~/projects and then _actively_ copies only relevant files to ~/html. Basically a "poor man's CI/CD", with the bonus of having to opt-in to publish any files.
development in kubernetes (or any cloud context?) is such a complexe problem. It mainly boils down to saving docker image build time. No silver bullet but many lead bullets and trade-offs.

>For the configurations analysed, pairs of VAWTs exhibited a 15% increase in power output compared to operating in isolation, when the second rotor was spaced three turbine diameters downstream and at an angle of 60° to the wind direction.

This seems like a major limitation of the finding. The wind direction is variable. If your clever idea only works when the wind is blowing exactly west, it's not so clever.
This is the MVP of a startup I've been working on. The core idea is to create a real-time information/collaboration hub for incident response. One place for info, designated teams/roles/plans, and integrations with commonly used systems.

There's still lots of work to be done, but I'd really love some feedback and direction from anyone interested. Thanks for checking it out!
