I was with you up until you mentioned Christoper Hogwood. Not that there's anything wrong with him just that that wouldn't be the first name to pop up in my head when I think music vs 'stodgy music for wealthy old people'. It makes me think what you're trying to say in so many words is that you prefer music played on period instruments using something close to the orchestra that would have been available to the composer in their own time. That would limit you to music from sometime before the mid 1800's since composers since then pretty much have had the modern orchestra we have today so 'period' orchestras would be anachronistic and not what the composer intended. If you like period orchestras you should check out recordings of the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra in San Francisco. They also play 'Hogwood' style on authentic period instruments.
Your idea of a government out of control is the government monitoring communications of the declared enemies of the USA?
> The idea for a Digital Corps was sparked by technologists across government who identified a gap in the federal government’s journey towards digital success — a lack of early‑career technology talent. TTS recognized the need for entry‑level technologists to not only bring immediate innovation but also to serve as a continuing resource for government digital transformation.

I can't tell if this means they will just hire a dozen junior web developers or if it's more than that. There's is a lot the government could do but they really need to attract a different skill set. The FIPS standards are incredibly out of data and only cover a very small amount of software.

Imagine if common but insecure/open by default software stacks like MongoDB, etc. had a FIPs like mode that would disable super permissive settings.
Might not make much of a difference with precomputed headers, but if you can't or don't use those, that should still provide quite a bit of speed-up. I went through the same exercises back when I did C++, but couldn't use PCH because some dependency did weird things and didn't exactly work anymore.

These days I wish there was something similarly easy to speed up Webpack builds ...

Right, but this is still the problem. Even GS-15 L10 is barely competitive with starting new-grad salaries at FAANG, and USDS is trying to pull experienced people.

USDS has the whole short-term tour/prestige going for it, though, so they can plausibly get people to take a temporary pay cut as an act of public service.
Jake Paul called himself “THE FACE OF THE FIGHT GAME” – how much is it true?

I think you'd have to look at the statistics for consecutive windless days for the given location to rule out battery storage? Also in the US, I think natural gas peakers are more common than petro.
Am I correct to assume that wind is a more indirect source of power than solar?

In my mind, solar energy creates wind by heating up the surface of the earth, which then heats up the air above it, which then moves around to even out the temperature differences.

Therefore I suspect that in the long run (10 years? 100 years?) solar energy will be more common than wind energy. Similar to how solid state drives are overtaking spinning drives.

What do you guys think?
The only way I've found to manage all of this is to detach. Turn off your devices, go for a walk in nature, sit down and read a book, do some manual craft work. Something purely analog, old-fashioned, uncomplicated.
This is what people get for trying to get get more out of their jobs than a steady paycheck and (in the USA) health/dental/vision insurance. You won't find emotional fulfillment at the office unless you're the CEO and have fuck you money. Anybody who tries to tell you otherwise is trying to con you. Maybe people are wising up? I hope so.
Right, but that's still not very competitive. A senior engineer at the high paying places can be making 300k+. And those places usually have good benefits, too.

Granted, that's usually in expensive metros, but it's not like DC is cheap either.

Realistically, a lot of people on the left do not like "techies" and feel that devs at Google, FB, et al are horrendously overpaid relative to their contributions to society. So while the Democrats may be okay with the general principle of, "the government should be able to pay more to get the people they need", I think they'd balk at actually paying FAANG-level prices for engineers. Almost 200k for a new grad CS major? That's a hard sell to a party that focuses more -- or at least advertises itself more -- on the poor and working class.
> Do you think that smokin' a joint is really enough to set off something like this?

Yes[^1].

This is whataboutism[^2]. The fact that other things can start a fire doesn't make starting it with a joint or cigarette less of a possibility

> a combination of things that are required to create a fire

Like hot weather and dry vegetation?

> Maybe we just don't like to admit it but climate change is here

And so we should stop smoking joints in the forest when it's hot and dry to prevent starting fires?

Explain what part of it? In that article, the California fire chief took responsibility for communicating the wrong information to the governor's office. I'm gonna guess the pandemic had something to do with last year's shortfall, but this really needs more indepth research that can dig through a few years' worth of records.
Who is baffled? The only baffling part is you defending their actions.
Both seem useful in different places. There are very windy locations that get very little sun, and very sunny locations that get very little wind.
Yes, but the advantage wind has is that the solar energy gets stored for a while in the surface and atmosphere before you harvest it.

The short answer scaling heavily favors huge turbines. The taller they are the larger swept area of the blades. More are more wind energy captured. (Good old area = distance squared) And higher up the more consistent the wind, higher the average wind speed, and thus higher capacity factor.

There were a lot of people who thought like you and thought they could just whip up some perl scripts to do it. Then they all got hacked, and since when you hack a domain registry, you hack every domain it manages too, they'd usually snag a google.whatever domain and say haha we hacked google. Eventually Google got so angry about this happening that they sent a crack team of security experts to build a top-level domain registry the right way, and made it open source. https://github.com/google/nomulus It wasn't easy.
I think you guys need gas as peak power long time but coal is now in borrowed time. At least Germany is started moving towards power to hydrogen but it takes like 10+ years to build truly big industrial scale production for P2H. Same for grid scale batteries eg which are moving right direction but not there yet.
Do you know why USDS's executive office is vacant?
Thankfully there are lots of very talented engineers who avoid working at FAANGs for a wide variety of reasons, including a desire for work with greater social impact.

I don’t understand how on earth you could come to your conclusions if you actually live in SF. Large parts of San Francisco are a nightmare in large part because of a near total absence of law enforcement. I cannot imagine what cities you could be thinking of, unless you’re thinking of the gang warfare in parts of Chicago. Property crime in SF in particular is at a comically bad level. There is a widespread institutional unwillingness to do anything that might be perceived as hurting poor people, so instead we just let grifters and junkies clean out entire stores (not kidding, we don’t enforce laws against theft below $900), shit and piss everywhere, leave used needles on our sidewalks, and contaminate all our public spaces with tent cities. And don’t forget the constant and unceasing drumbeat of car breakins! Everyone I know here has a story of crime or horror that has happened to them because of the hands-off attitude toward crime here.

When I was a kid, people told me, it’s important to have an open mind, but not so open your brain falls out. SF attitude toward street crime is well past that point.
California stopped renewing contracts for coal fired electricity. They are probably still buying it on the spot market though.

No, but then again I can say “Hey Siri” and pretty much set any sort of reminder, alarm, and a dozen other things without needing to watch a nearly hour long video teaching me how to use a piece of software that basically sets reminders and alarms.

On my iPhone, I learned how to set an alarm and reminder by reading a single sentence that said “To set a reminder, say something like: “Hey Siri, set a reminder to buy Mabel’s Birthday cake at Joe’s Bakery next Monday at 2pm”. Not only do I get my reminder, but I also get directions to the bakery no matter where I am.

So, I’ll give the landlord some grace. He makes my life pretty easy.
I totally agree with you. The first wave of USDS hires were highly motivated to refactor/repair/replace the ACA infrastructure. Most came from much higher paying jobs in Silicon Valley. I doubt the same levels of motivation and excitement are still there, but I could be wrong. There was also a lot of political will and pressure that made those early USDS tasks remotely possible. Without that pressure, I imagine the vendors and the bureaucracy, which was barely tolerable a decade ago, would not be tolerated by most highly qualified candidates.
Right - I think generally having a variety of energy sources is also good so that we can have a smoother power generation curve during the day rather than the big peaks that wind & solar generate. Eventually, we'll (hopefully) have enough battery or other energy storage capacity to smooth out bumps in energy production so it can be used throughout the day. But even then it'll be useful to have wind power generating some power when, say, it's nighttime.

While these are earnest and constructive suggestions that would work in some contexts, I'm not sure you're taking the drought conditions into account. The basic problem we have in California is that water levels are hitting historic lows while forests are bone dry and so are the winds that fan fires.
>Maybe in a trivial program like this the backing array can always be extended in-place,

Interesting. According to Wikipedia:

I think it's been close to an actual decade since I've played Artemis. It was definitely fun LAN at the time.
I also hope that efficient scale batteries become possible. But if there is an extended deficit with wind / sun then even a battery might not do it. One undeniable advantage of petrochemicals is they work at any time, consistently, and are a solid backup. Maybe we are OK as a society with backup generators being petrochemicals, rather than going nuclear.

Quite cool how the author picks a topic, explains it well, and on top of that presents some novel results. He did this before with his article on minimum-discrepancy sequences, which is one of my favourite results in math.
To choose just one example, but one that illustrates the gulf between the two projects.

For shell interaction, I use eshell, a UNIX shell written in Elisp, as often as I use anything else. It has some sharp edges, but it takes more sharp edges off shell interaction so it generally makes, for me, the most pleasant way to interact with the shell.

I am aware of no NeoVim project aiming at something like eshell, and it would not, I think, be a good fit for the NeoVim philosophy if it were tried.

They are complementary. You tend to have more wind when there's no sun, like during storms and some places are very windy at night.

The problem with wind is dealing with the huge uptick in energy coming down the pipeline during a major wind event. Last I checked, this was still not a solved problem but I haven't been keeping current like I used to.

So in practice they shut down some windmills during major wind events to protect the system. The other issue both wind and solar have is storage. Though we've seen substantial gains in battery storage in recent years, so there is good news but I don't know if we are really "there" yet.
