I use magit extensively because it's an utter fucking marvel, but sometimes I'm in a shell without emacs open, or I have to run some internal tooling that wraps around git.

My point overall was that I see all of these as a collection of tools. Which one I choose depends a lot on context, and it's served me well to be baseline comfortable with all of them rather than depending too heavily on my emacs setup.
I think you have a well-reasoned, thoughtful post here, but perhaps the person who operates a BBQ food truck might not be the best positioned to take futures contracts out on brisket?

Scale matters.
it isn't necessary mistaken. The issues like GERD and some other around stomach/digestion affect how your muscles handle the diaphragm and that may strangle the breathing in various ways and also obstruct heart beating movements - that all limits the oxygen supply, and while sitting relaxed doing nothing the oxygenation may be sufficient it struggles to cover any additional increased requirements which spike due to increased body and/or brain activity, and that insufficient oxygen delivery naturally makes one feel anxious.
Allowing the word "related" to do a lot of heavy lifting, I'd say that it is the same for aliens.
Absolutely, I should’ve been more precise: it’s perfectly fine for most applications, but not for a library, or, say, manned aviation. So, yeah, when optimising for accuracy, range, or speed you might implement it differently, respectively.

I mean, papers have been written about sqrt(a^2+b^2) alone… :-)

Prices had come back down to pre-pandemic levels up until about a month ago. Nationwide easing of restrictions has increased demand faster than the supply chain has been able to keep up.

That is an excellent idea (having more than just a transactional relationship with you food vendor is a good idea in general) but my volume is way too low to have that type of leverage. The best I can do (and fortunately what I did when I saw the prices increasing) is pre-buy and freeze as much as I can to lock in the then-current pricing. Right now food supplies aren't even able to fill many wholesale orders because they don't have enough supply so I'm not sure pre-paying would help if they can't even get the product. For example one major vendor has changed their order cutoff time from 11PM to 5PM so they can spend that extra time allocating their available stock across all the orders because they don't have enough for everyone.

BBQ is my side hustle so I'll be ok either way - but if I was paying my mortgage via food service I would be alot more concerned.
Why would you NOT choose this path? Local and prod are the same with this method, that’s a big advantage.
The U.S. isn't creating vassal states because that wouldn't fly with the current zeitgeist, because it'd allienate the EU and other current friendly countries which buy a lot of crap from US companies. Keeping the USD as the base currency of the world is the most important thing. When the a country owns the de-facto base currency it can print it's way into prosperity, having the most powerful army assures that everyone will respect that the pieces of paper you print are worth something.

This way you can get yourself out of trouble any time it arrises by printing your way out of it. Inflation then comes and your debts are now easier to repay. Meanwhile all the schmuck countries holding your debt can't do much about it, since you're the only one that can print USD.

Keeping those countries close and doing trade is way better than a few extra official vassal states, when you can instead just get most of the profits without any of the hassle of actually having to manage a remote piece of land. Why have all that trouble when you can sell your current_gen-2 weapon systems to most countries on earth with loads of profit? Plus they can't ever go to war against you because you'll just stop supplying them.

I'm very pro-US myself but to think that this "benevolent world management" stance is just out of the kindness of the US government's heart seems a bit naive. It's subtle empire building, but it's still empire building. I for one don't mind, because I think out of the options there are, the US definitely isn't the worse choice.

The main problem with objects is the proliferation of conceptual entities that increase complexity instead of reducing it. This was in full display with the creation of design patterns, which introduced a large number of concepts meant to simplify programming, but that in fact multiplied the number of classes in an exponential way sometimes without improving understanding. Sometimes you'll have better code by just removing the crutch, but OO languages are designed to favor this kind of approach.

> but regardless the consumption is extremely high.

It's high, but not even close to some of the historic records. In early 1800s the per capita consumption was roughly equivalent 90 bottles of whisky per year. And that counts a lot of non drinkers in the denominator.
The title is wrong imo because drinking is an intensely personal thing.

I don't drink for one year every four years and have been through this cycle multiple times. I have one year where I drink quite a bit and my current year is the weekends only drinking cycle.

Some observations: I don't miss alcohol at all when I don't drink, but in dry years I can get quite depressed.

As soon as I do have one drink my mind immediately goes to having more, plans change - I grew up in a binge drinking culture (UK) and that never seems to go away.

I body check myself socially to see if I've drunk too much even when I'm not drinking. I think a lot of social drinking is actually psychological.

Hangovers suck but are a great safeguard. If you don't have them be alarmed. The year when I drink a lot I get overtired, generally puffy skinned feeling and lacklustre.

Most important tip: don't drink pints of mineral water instead of beer: I got terrible kidney stones
Some of the more recent research on alcohol suggests that it isn't so much of an escape. Instead it creates a type of myopia for the mind, shifting focus from the long-term to the short-term.

For some people, it can really help live more in the moment, enjoy time with friends, and temporarily put aside all the stress and worries about the future.
> Yeah but my point still stands: the more you redistribute, the less incentive people have to work

You'll have to back that claim up

> everyone wants to have a system where you can simply raise the mean without any increase in inequality, but such a system doesn't exist

Well I don't care about the mean - not much use if Rockerfeller takes 90% of the income of a country and the rest have to deal with the 10% even if the mean is high. I care about how much money I have (specifcally what goods and services I can get with it), and how that is affected when various things happen (someone crashes their car into me, I get a cancer diagnosis, find that the CEO has been running the company into the ground and we're all laid off)

During the Great Compression, income inequality dropped dramatically, while the median increased. This was driven by policies like strong unions, the New Deal and Price Controls, and resulted in America's golden age, where the working and middle classes were far better off in 1960 than they were in 1930.

Now you know why people never used their garages for cars in the 70-80s.
1. The lucky ones make it to 80, lots die to unimaginably painful cancers, let's not increase our odds by drinking volatile solvents

2. If you have a drink every night out with friends you build a tolerance to it, and you put stress on your body for no gain.

3. Dehydration, sleepiness, and worse sleep and cost are big downsides

4. You can have better, cheaper effects with edible weed.
Yes, I did read those. My point is basically that there's still emerging science, and seeing as I don't trust the government, medical industry (which stands to profit greatly), the media (which have pushed the vaccine like crazy), and pretty much any authority, how can I believe evidence provided by the companies that stand to profit billions?

> This may be because the vaccine is administered in the muscle, and so muscle cells are the ones taking up the mRNA and making spike proteins.

Dr. Bridle discusses how the spike proteins can leave the shoulder muscle:

Either way, there's still no possibility for long term evidence of safety, and I have COVID antibodies from the disease itself, so why would I take the vaccine?
If you don't want to use the GC, why the concern about its implementation?

I have no idea what you mean by "proper" compile time functions. D's CTFE is excellent.
> is there an argument other than "I'm used to it"?

Yes. The argument is "I want to run X and it only runs (or runs best) on Windows|Linux|macOS. People don't fire up their computer because they want to use Linux or Windows, they fire it up because they want to play Assassin's Creed or XCode.
I often drink flavored fizzy water - they are a great alternative to soda: no caffeine, no sugar, but some flavor and carbonation. Other times I drink water, or juice because it's there for the kids. Sometimes alcohol too, it really depends on the circumstances.

There was a book about this called the Paradox of Choice. Basically, that we want choices but they make us less happy.

There's a related phenomenon, I don't know a name for it, where given a choice between convenience and happiness people will almost always choose convenience, generally without even realizing they've made a choice. Our genes have a deep, deep preference for minimizing energy expenditure.

Interesting links and info from the UK national grid. I've done some more research on the topic, and spoken with people who are closer to the topic.

tl;dr: average capacity is not going to be an issue, however peak power could very well be, and may need to be managed.

I am going to assume this is going to be very country-specific though. I've looked for the same info for France for example, which is more clear cut as it uses very little gas/oil/... in its energy production, so a priori I would have thought there is no argument of pushing the pollution from cars to power generation (but actually there may be because of peak power requirements).

Also note that this goes beyond national grids, the EU electricity market smooths things out at continental level. The UK is not synchronised with the EU grid, but it is connected. France has an excess production in general for example but all that excess is exported to other countries. Supply and demand have to be equalised at all times, and there is a real time market that can tap into quick-to-start power plants for flexibility.

I've found a very interesting 2019 report from RTE (who manages the grid). [0] Note that the highest EV transition scenario it envisages is 15 million EV by 2035, so ~35-40% of all cars, which is probably realistic, but it's far from covering requirements to change 100% of ICE cars to EVs.

1. It should hold just fine even in the high estimates of 15 million EV by 2035, which means an extra 50 TWh per year, ie 10% of the total production.

2. They also expect to grow the green power generation (nuclear, hydro, solar, wind...) by 20% during the same period, from ~500 TWh to ~600 TWh.

3. The main risk is peak power consumption, if it's not managed. If people all start charging when they come home in the evening, which matches the existing peak power usage between 7-9 pm, especially during winter, it could cause supply issues. In the worst scenarios, it could be up to 8 GW extra during what are already the highest peaks. This can be worked around by steering usage to other hours of the day, possibly even help with peaks if actively managed with vehicle-to-grid power flow, the batteries could actually flow electricity back to the grid during those peak times (there are concerns of battery life though). But this management of when people charge their cars MUST be done in the worst scenarios for at least 50% of the charging, otherwise it could threaten electric supply safety.

In short, average capacity should not be a problem in France (significant increase, but manageable and other consumption is going down). However peak capacity usage will require some adaptation, but can be handled.

Lindy Effect: The simple rule that can help you predict the future (2020)
Interesting. If I get drunk two nights in a row, there are high chances that I’ll wake up the night with a panic attack.

I grew up with panic attacks, and they were random and I had no clue what was happening to me until college when I first learned of the phrase (prior to that I just referred to it as “the chaos”).

I can control and fight them off them now. But if I drink too much, then my mind and body are weakened and I can’t fight them off (while sleeping!).

Anyway, I’ll look up this GERD thing.
We use docker compose in production, but have our own custom tooling based around it.

K8s was a little too complex and docker swarm a little too simple. Rolling our own solution was a last resort, but it worked out well in the end - more control, deeper understanding and no nasty surprises in behaviour while scaling etc.
What I find most telling is that in the article, not a single thought is dedicated to the user.

A deep introspection of advertisers, browsers, publishers. Users, the fundamental owners of the data we're talking about, seem to not even be at the table.
I'm sure it does, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt even though the article makes no mention of Quaternions. My point is, using Quaternions for physical devices is using a hammer on a screw. Huge mistake, but it can be done by people who don't know any better. I'm guessing you worked on this and bought in to the whole Quaternion BS?

I'm in the defense industry as well and guess what? Basically most people don't know any better.
Worked at Cloudera pre- and post-merger. I thought of on-premises CDH clusters (and similarly HDP clusters) as trying to be the majority of your data infrastructure, but open so that it can integrate with other stuff. It's not just about having big data, but one place to store all of that data regardless of schema: massive database tables, logs, etc. all on shared hardware. AND frameworks to process it different ways in-place: SQL queries, Spark jobs, Search, etc. Data gravity was very important to the business model.

As more people moved to the cloud, Hadoop-style storage was extremely expensive (naively moving your Hadoop cluster to 3x replication on EBS volumes would result in a nasty case of sticker shock) so the data would move to S3 / ADLS / GCP. And now you've lost your data gravity.

Post-merger Cloudera focused less on on-premises clusters and tried to offer those same diverse workloads as a multi-cloud SaaS, with more focus on elasticity. This is hard because (a) there's a massive amount of surface area if you want enterprise customers to bring their own accounts, run all these managed open-source services in those accounts, and be multi-cloud, and (b) you're just competing more directly with the cloud vendors, on their turf as both a customer, partner and competitor.
> examples been provided that explain why the specific settings are problematic.

I've seen some opinions, but none could be objectively evaluated as really pointing out problematic settings. They were more in the area of subjective preferences.
It's a pretty weak argument when it fits both devices. In reality both are bad, one is just very bad.
Yeah, give me generics and a language to pipeline them into anything I want. Full stop. Let Harry Potter and his friends play with magic.
You can use the mouse to select things in the terminal. In vim/neovim `:set mouse=a` and you can scroll around, select things and move the cursor just like you can in a regular GUI editor.
More likely loneliness, the article mentions solitary drinking long before we worked in cubicles.
I think that Julia's Pluto notebooks are the closest realisation of that dream.
Yeah, in a work year writing just 400 lines of code per day will net >100k lines of code in year. That's.. A lot of new code. Greenfield, best-case kind of scenario. Keyboard shortcuts aren't going to be the secret sauce to writing a measly 2k lines of code, much less 400. Just thinking about this and discussing it probably wastes more time than a lot of those shortcuts would ever save.

As long as somebody isn't being a huge detractor because they refuse to use the tools everybody else on the team does I don't really care. Not even enough to engage in a discussion about it. Unless there are beers.
Dynatrace is a monitoring solution and company that recently went public again after being initially taken private by a PE.

I'm glad someone has mentioned this. After a night of drinking I always feel nauseous to the point that it ruins my whole day. Even after a moderate amount of alcohol or any kind of mixing.

I'm not certain I have GERD, but it's been my hypothesis. Anyone else have similar experiences? I can never go to a brunch/lunch after drinking in fear that my nausea will turn into something worse.
You often don't have to have your camera on.

I think all CGAs did have that font by default because CGA just had just poor resolution that they didn't have space for better characters.

Most CGA adapters switched to MDA or Hercules mode when displaying text, which offered much better rendering. But if you needed to mix graphics and text this didn't work. So you got stuck with the piss-poor 320x200. And the two hideous colour palettes.

I never understood how anyone could design that and think it was a good idea or something.
I’m very interested in this! Thanks for posting!
I don’t think a Cold War is a good description of what’s happening; it’s not as if there’s some arms race going on as it is just a very public exposure of how bad our overall tech / security infrastructure is.

The question is whether the pains we’re currently feeling are enough to cause a change in the industries affected.
Does that apply to all artificial sweeteners such as sucralose or is it specific to aspartame?
This is also why learning touch typing is helpful. It frees up mind resources. Sadly, not many people put in the effort.

This doesn’t have much to do with who owns the land. California won’t allow affordable housing to be built anywhere in the Bay Area.

The result is that you get buildings that somehow cost 4-5x more to build than they would elsewhere (even adjusting for seismic costs) and you get dangerous squatter villages, but you get nothing in between.
But the businesses will still need a presence in the countries in which they want to do business (or at least it is easier to do so -- that is how US companies get caught up in needing to comply with things like GDPR or whatnot). So the AMT can be legislated for any company that has a presence in a particular country.
You mean if you have to go on the offensive and sue a company that has wronged you?

Thats kind of true, but thats the point of many regulatory agencies and complaints procedures - in UK we have many Ombundsments which are meant to pursue the offenders on behalf of consumers. Also class actions lawsuits are meant to help with that. Thats why these arbitration clauses seem like they subvert the legal sysstem and they should not be allowed.

Okrent had it calculated at equivalent to 7 US gallons of pure ethanol/yr (1830s) to normalize this.

So approx 17.5 gallons at today's standard of 40%. Which is about 2250 standard (1.5oz) drinks a year, or average of 6/day.

There are higher and lower estimates too, but anyway you work the calculations, it's a lot.
