No Australian English and British English are different.

For example, British say lorry but Australians say truck. Although on the whole Australian English is closer to British than American, that's one case where the opposite is true. (But the word truck doesn't mean quite the same thing in American English and Australian English – in American English it has a broader sense, in Australian English its sense is somewhat more narrow – Australians and Americans would both call a semi-trailer truck a truck, but what Americans call pickup trucks Australians generally don't call trucks, we call them utes instead – that term is pretty much unique to Australian and New Zealand English)

And in some cases Australian English matches neither American English or British English. For example, Americans say bell peppers and British say sweet peppers, but Australians say capsicums. (Along with New Zealand English, Malaysian English, Indian English, Pakistani English, Bangladeshi English, and Sri Lankan English.)

People need to get away from the idea that there are only two varieties of English, American and British. There are as many varieties of English as there are countries in which English is a major spoken language.
Spectre and meltdown can be seen as caused by the underlying hardware. But those are in that rare 1% bucket and I doubt a more accurate model used by unit testing would have stopped these anyway.
Remote working is the peak of this. My company has pretty much resigned itself to the idea that they cannot create a better work environment than the one I create for myself. If I’m not happy I could easily be poached away by another other company anywhere on the planet, and the only switching cost on my end would be getting to know some new team members and logging into a different workspace.

It is not a good position to be in if you wanted to treat an employee like shit. There is far less leverage.

many post like your's turn around those formulas

V=RI and W=VI

combined to give

WireLossInWatt = RI²

assume a 120W bulb and a 2.5mm diameter 1km long copper conductor (around 7ohm).

at 120V you need 1A so you lose 1²A² × 7ohms = 7W

at 12V you need 10A so you lose 10²A² × 7ohms = 700W

That example with a small diameter long cable is a bit extreme but I hope it's illustrative

DC might come back as a separate in-tandem network specifically for ceiling LED lighting.

It's more convenient to simply plug into a low voltage DC current wiring with a LED fixture than to install a AC-DC converter.

It's certainly something I've entertained doing for my own place.
> Each one is about 1x2 cm and costs around $1.

Well, I don't. The 100W PD plugs I own cost typically $60 or more. Put yours on Amazon if they can do 100W and I'll happily buy them.

And if it doesn't support full 100W it's a PITA because that's more thing the user has to think about.

A joke some friends of mine who study fusion make to this kind of comment; wind and solar are fusion powered.

In a simpler way of looking at it, (1) what is the source of the energy of solar/wind? (2) how much land and materials are required to linearly increase power production?

There is a finite amount of space and resources on the planet to continue to scale power production with humanities consumption.

Fusion, preferably MCF/tokamaks in the style of smaller sized ones like SPARC @ MIT and less like ITER (behemoths that take decades to build and maintain) offer two things (1) the fuel is comprised of the most common elements in the universe, (2) power per square foot is much greater than solar or wind... And bonus (3) once developed it should in theory require less material per watt generated. And less materials mean less processing and fabrication which in turn reduces the environmental impact on the planet.
for a while I've thought that maybe ephemeral should be the default when it comes to public communications and data unless otherwise specified.

In this case it's literally a matter of life and death but there's so many ways in which this permanent accessibility can bite people in ways they can't even anticipate, and I really don't think we're wired for it. Also if you think about it the value of digital history that just accrues is probably zero, it's just a hoarding reflex.
Much of the ag production is for export from the state, local population growth is probably not strongly correlated.

The link you post talks about the project mismanagement and bad incentives that tanked nuclear prices. This isn't anything new. The US has been failing to build new infrastructure on time and under budget for decades now and it's a much larger problem than just nuclear plants.

> Further, if France was such a success, what are the costs of their build? And why did they stop at only about a third of the planned number of reactors?

I mean, I don't think there's definitive proof that cost is the reason here. Whataboutism isn't enough to sow doubt, we need a more clear line of reasoning.

You do have to wonder if they’re confused on why this isn’t persuasive to normal people. Go cook outside on a rocket stove[0] and washing clothes by hand every day? Come on.

Meanwhile the thing that has actually gotten people out of their cars is the ebike. It turns out it’s much more effective to produce a more convenient and comfortable solution for people rather than just demand that they go back a century or two just because.

0 - It’s also telling that such advocates never seem to actually say who should be stuck doing all the labor that machines like washing machines now do for us. Washing clothes and dishes by hand is hard labor, and someone is going to have to give up their career or free time to do it if we’re going to ban these machines. No extra credit if you figure out who will get stuck with the task…

So even when they spread blatant m̶i̶s̶i̶n̶f̶o̶r̶m̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ disinformation, they still don't even get a notice or a suspension on Twitter. These guidelines must have been written by clown princes for the constitution of clownworld at this point since this is a beyond a circus act.

How long until Twitter realises that they have broken their own guidelines by allowing a listed terrorist organisation to have an account that posts content that incites violence and has a history of such brutal killings and attacks?

Will they wait for another person to die for them to act like they always do?
DesignBeast Review and Bonuses 2021: Should I Buy This Software?
This is a low tech blog. It is difficult to reduce your carbon footprint while experiencing an exponential urge to consume new tech.

Tech products footprint is either during consumption (most of the devices requiring heat or cold) or during production (the other devices like smartphones).

Obviously this rule is a trend and countries with low carbon electricity are exceptions.

While most people are OK for lasting a smartphone a bit longer, the same logic would imply to reduce the heat/cold consumption.

So yeah in this sense, a freezer is a luxe we can't afford.
What? 12AWG Romex is rated for 20A in normal residences in the US and it's already in a lot of homes, so the retrofit would be easy. And for LED lighting you wouldn't need nearly that much current at 24V, so voltage losses would be negligible.
What I don't understand is that if you believe your users are idiots doesn't that mean you need to design a product that an idiot can use?

Berating users is just ridiculous and does nothing but harm the product. I am seriously pissed off at this culture of "we know best." It is a disconnect from the userbase and we've constantly seen it lead to the product being overtaken by a company that doesn't follow this principle.

I work as much as I do because I don't know what's going to happen next. Someone in my family could get sick. The economy could go into the crapper. I could live longer than normal (my parents are 90).

Probably the worst corporate BS I could imagine would be commuting an hour or more, and I'm lucky that my commute is less than 1/2 hour by bike.

Yes, but the very most efficient AC motors and compressors motors use variable frequency drives, and you can design a VFD powered by either AC or DC.

I still do think AC is still advantageous in a lot of ways for power grids though, just not on that particular point.
Nope, newer guided bombs are almost all of the glide variety, see the SDB/Stormbearker and JSOW. They can achieve high glide ratios similar to aircraft, can follow pre programmed waypoints, have variable terminal profiles including the ability to attack from different directions, and can loiter. Speaking as someone who just left that industry, she was 100% working on glide bombs.
What? Cars with collision detection systems already exist, and they can handle both side on and head on collision avoidance when a human is driving.

People literally are buying cars that “make their own decisions”. Importantly though, these systems only activate in the case of an imminent collision IF the corrective measure won’t cause another collision.

> that will pull the wheel …

Yah, of course no one is going to buy a care that does what you describe because what you describe is insane and inherently unsafe. Unless a collision is imminent, nothing happens.

I'm not sure how that makes things better. In fact, I think it makes things worse. You're letting random people that are self described experts? That's a great way to create a toxic environment.

They create feedback loops for this toxicity and "in crowd."

Seems to me you moved to London to race rats and watch dogs eat dogs and that has been accomplished.

You have made respectable gains and come out ahead numerically/financially and there are certain winnings to be had staying in the race.

In the process you have become a financial professional based on your computer science ability.

Where naturally financial success is everything and upside is more important than in most alternative endeavors.

With a keen focus for upside potential, you have forged a lucrative path but this has taken you far from the mainstream where almost all other professions do not have nearly that kind of focus.

In co-operation with your partner you could maybe relax your focus a bit in a way determined to broaden your horizons at the same time.

Bring other pathways into your field of vision and just see how they look, those closest to where you are now will be the clearest but over time you may see great distances in completely new directions.

One thing to think about with pure financial operations is there is so much money there because it's wealth that has been previously created then accumulated over a period of time. In London I expect you are handling lots of wealth that was created long before anyone living was even born.

With a good nose for the upside, one close alternative application might be to migrate to a position where most or all of your energies are employed or available for creating new wealth in your own lifetime. People do love it. A slight change like that can even make for a whole new outlook.

In the long run you may not always be a financial professional anyway and there are so many other types of success. You don't have to keep it going forever, there are so many other professions if you choose, but looks like you will always be a computer scientist of high caliber.

So I see nothing but upside.

I'm not sure the answer is the same.

A subscription provides ongoing revenue to the developer/publisher, but in the case of software, that revenue is (theoretically) being used to fund ongoing development of the product. Whether this is better for users than the traditional paid upgrade model is debatable, but there's undeniably value to the developer in a predictable revenue stream, and as long as the subscription price isn't totally out of whack compared to the old upgrade model I don't mind it. Assuming the developer is keeping up their end of the bargain, so to speak, and making regular releases of the software, then it's perfectly reasonable for you to keep paying for those releases.

But fonts are mostly a different matter. It's vanishingly rare for there to be more than tiny tweaks to a digital release of a typeface after its initial release. Unless I'm paying for someone else to host web fonts for me -- which Helvetica Now's web font license doesn't seem to entail -- this seems to be considerably more usurious. Print magazines weren't charged an annual cost for their typefaces based on their circulation; web fonts should really be no different.

> I can't for the life of me get into a place where interviewing seems natural at all and still after four years of experience struggle to get through medium leetcode problems.

Are you considering a career switch for the right reasons? If you've done OK at your jobs so far (aside form the covid startup thing), and still suck at interview-style algorithms, doesn't that just mean you're not doing those types of algorithms in your day job? Surprise: lots of interview processes are broken. Most of us developers are here to do some basic information transformations and to keep our application's structure from becoming unmaintainable. Not to fizzbuzz a binary tree palindrome.

When I last switched jobs, I didn't reply to companies that wanted me to do irrelevant hackerrank-y assignments, and still got multiple good offers on the table. Don't make something that isn't your job decide whether or not you like the job.
Superfish iirc was Windows only. They broke (very loosely speaking) encryption to show you ads. But yes, theoretically a similar attack can be done on Linux too. Beating this is comparatively easy, reinstall the OS and kernel and install a clean version of some Linux distro.

Ignore the naysayers herein. Your power requirements are low enough that 12AWG wire will work fine. Wire your lighting circuits with standard 12-2 Romex, power it with 24VDC, and use LEDs. The only hard part is finding the proper constant-current drivers for your fixtures, but they should be available.

1. Electrical work is still back breaking work.

2. In a decent union, like local 6, it's not bad work. It's much better working conditions, and pays much more than the other trades.

3. If you are working non-union--it's a bitch. Terrible working conditions, low pay, supply your own tools, exploitive owners.

4. Yes--Romex, Scothlocks, and MC Cable, revolutionized the industry. It revolutionized it for the contractor.

5. Meaning they (the contractor) just except to you to work quicker.

6. In the old days, with knob/tube wiring, and soldering, the profession was more of an art. Today--it's about speed.

7. Today, a union electrician is expected to wire a new residential home in one day. (Believe me that's backbreaking work.)

8. While working as a electrician today it is much safer today, but the work is just as hard for non-union electricians. Non-union electricians work very hard. (In the past the death rate was so high for electricians, only Irish immigrants were doing the work.)

9. If any aimless youth reads this, and likes construction, get you C-10 license, or get into a union. Become a electrician, or elevator mechanic. Only use a non-union job as experience for your C-10 license.

(Come from a family of electricians, and 1 year working at Packbell park as an apprentice. I found another career, but do miss the regular income/benefits.)
Page ES-7 gives a total amount for transportation, of which light duty vehicles is a percentage given in the pie chart. Multiply out and you get 12%.

But why? I'm not arguing that our current lifestyle in heavily developed countries is sustainable, but what makes you certain that we can't form sustainable habits? As long as humans have existed on the planet, we've become better at using available resources (though many of us have certainly died trying, as evidenced by the decline/collapse of many pre-Industrial civilizations through environmental damage). What about this moment in time marks the end of our ability to become more efficient?

A yearly salary of $12,000 for an adjunct professor in the U.S. is exceptionally low according to most sources I can find. Perhaps the author forgot to mention that the lecturers are part-time, or something of that nature?
