> I have seen the argument that if solar and wind can both be over-provisioned by a factor of 3, then storage will not be much of an issue.

That makes 0 sense. If you have 3x needed capacity at midday but 0x capacity at midnight, you could over-provision by 100x - zero times a hundred is still zero.
Amateur activism across our political spectrum has been a net-negative in my opinion, so I agree, but privacy has no chosen political party or agenda. In that way, I'd caution you from thinking of it "politically" in terms of camps and more "politically" in terms of policy changes needed that both of our parties object to.
I can accept your belief, in principle, about putting enough effort in early education and that lack of such efforts contributes to poor outcomes in college. I also think though that some people just can’t grok algebra. You would agree that a mentally disabled person can’t learn algebra, right? So where is the line below which a person can’t learn algebra. I suspect it is much higher than being mentally disabled.
I didn't claim it was an exhaustive list. I suppose you could include all of the classic "mortal sins", though I don't see the others as having quite as devastating social impact as greed and violence. Maybe envy or pride might relate to society's obsession with social media and celebrity worship? I don't think those are quite as easy to legislate without infringing on personal freedom of expression, though.
Do I need experience teaching calculus in order to suggest that it's got more to do with environment and situation than it does intellectual capability? No, I don't think that's true.

Are you seriously suggesting trying to raise multiple children while simultaneously learning calculus is approximately as hard as living alone and trying to learn calculus?

Honestly, I think you're trying to find a neat solution where none exists. You haven't stumbled on anything here, you're more likely ignoring the real-life circumstances your students find themselves in, and your colleagues are not.
This to me is the equivalent to the war on drugs. If you limit someone's ability on your platform, they will find a different platform. Until you squash the need/desire, those with the need/desire will find a solution.

Addiction is more complicated.
Every tonne of carbon emitted imposes $3000 in costs? That must mean that every ton of carbon emitted also provides at least $3000 in benefits, because humanity is a lot richer on net since we began blasting the stuff into our atmosphere a few hundred years ago.

Or, their calculation is off. Could be either one.
I think this is the point - that it's so easy to game (albeit a waste of time) and that this doesn't reflect on the quality of the hire coming through this process. Assuming this is the test for senior engineer, the greatest candidacy pool would be second-year CS students.
> Here's a nice video showing a barrel roll in a multi engine plane with the a glass of iced tea on the dashboard

Unless I'm very confused (always possible) this is only because while inverted the airplane is losing a lot of altitude. If you want to fly upside down at a steady altitude, I'd assume you would need to be strapped in. Maybe ask Maverick ;)

The cloud problem is the "natural inclination to remain neutral" I was referring to, where neutral is referring to the perceived G vector. If the plane can drift into a roll without changing the "feel" I see how you can end up in trouble. But that doesn't mean that all turns must preserve the G vector too. That was my only point.
A repair in Romania (EU, unlike UK) has a labor cost of 10-20EUR depending on the complexity; in most cases the "repair" is just replacing a component that has connectors, so it takes minutes, or swapping a new battery. A £100 fee sounds like science-fiction or lack of common sense.
I think people tried this and called it Liberty Reserve and went to prison for 20 years.
You can sign your commits with a GPG key, in your GitHub settings you can then link a GPG key to your account.

You can then make it that GitHub shows any non signed commit as unverified and at a project level not allow PRs that contain unsigned commits.
Its possible to use partial function to simulate method calls in C by memoizing the first argument which is always a pointer to the struct that method is getting called from. It requires little assembly. Check this: https://github.com/sharow/experiments/tree/master/partial

Gemba Walk: Where the Real Work Happens
> I think that just proves my original point: it's clickbait to single out doors as being exceptionally hard versus everything else in game design.

That's a fair point, but I think the charitable reading of the title is that amongst all the complicated things, a conceptually simple object like a door can still be very deceptively complex.

I sometimes get an urge to work on the myriad of game ideas I've written down over the years. And every time I remind myself that what I really like is the "idea" of making a game, not the actual process. Because the actual process is a draining, thankless and often rage inducing process. The actual building of a game is 95% of the time spent on stupid little details like making a door work properly.

And it is for that reason that I really admire game developers, particularly indie ones. It takes an insane amount of willpower, mental fortitude and wits to take a game from idea to playable product. And you then have to contend with one of the most toxic and volatile consumer groups in existence.
From my point of view it seems that the US educational system clutters their curriculum with too much unnecessary cruft.

Students need to focus on the basics and no where is this more true than in mathematics. Too many students muddle through middle and high school mathematics without gaining mastery or with multiple gaps in their knowledge. By the time they get to calculus they're simply unprepared to put all their previous knowledge to use. "Calc 101" is the first time that many students are required to apply theorems and then use algebra, trigonometry and arithmetic to arrive at results to problems. If there's any weaknesses in their fundamentals it's going to make the problems intractable (and, yes, they are for many students).

It's better to track students and only advance them to the next level in math when they've demonstrated mastery of previous topics. That would mean, of course, that a good fraction of students would never "reach" calculus (or even algebra)-- but that's OK if it means they have enough numeracy to balance a ledger or learn avoid blowing money on the lotto. At least their time would not be wasted on trying to do "Business Calculus" in college.
>Should we as a society invest 1000x the resources in the strugglers to ensure they can achieve the same understanding?

There's no need for everybody to reach the same level of understanding, but I think the pandemic has shown the importance of teaching as many as possible the basic concepts of calculus. "Flatten the curve" doesn't mean much when you've never heard of integration. The same applies to climate change. People will have more faith in mathematical models if they think it's something they could have done themselves if they really wanted to (overly optimistic judgement or not) instead of some bullshit the so-called experts made up to bamboozle them.
Where do you store the key that decrypts your key file?
Github is signing them with their own key when you merge through the web UI
Says it signs the commit with its own key. I guess you have to trust GitHub.
What Is Happening (Hegel's Chapel)
Sounds more like a general technical github problem with merges.
One lesson of the medieval period is that that when the previous society(Rome) breaks down, a period of mysticism sweeps in, from which the new society emerges. This happens on a smaller scale with e.g. "Great Awakenings". Mysticism normalizes a reality, and therefore it doesn't obey the rules of reason, rather, great efforts are made to rationalize its existence from a pragmatic beginning. Philosophers cannot reach agreement on what is good for people, so religious experiences fill in the gap, and that's always been the case with the economy too.

People used to believe that conquests made wealth; gradually they became convinced that productivity made wealth. Productivity is now on the chopping block, since it is seen as something that's killing the planet with inexhaustible resource demand. We're looking for the next way of seeing things. Crypto doesn't make sense now, and I say that as someone deeply invested in it, but it has that kind of potential to change our frame of reference after an awkward transition takes place. Maybe it makes sense if we go further with it. The experiment is in progress, but it's already exceeded the usual bounds of a cult or scam.
"send money"? Which money, Bitcoin or Ethereum?
Yes, this has long term negative effects but I need a job and don’t need the stress of being hounded by administration. In the old days the state funded a much higher percent of a student’s higher education. In those days, society was the client. Today the student is the client and the student does not want to fail.
Well there is a term for those software environments; widget factories. It's derogatory and nobody that can avoid it works in those places.

My point is: Why should phones be any different to desktops with regards to OS availability/ease of installation? If we accept that a significant number of users do use that ability on desktops, why wouldn't they use it on phones?
A coworker gave me one of these awhile ago, and I spent some time setting up OS X 10.4 and TenFourFox on it as well as OS9 and Classilla. It runs surprisingly well for the timeframe and specs - TenFourFox in particular was a ridiculously impressive porting effort to keep around.

These had pretty fun power adapters too - they were round and the laptop-side cord looped around the adapter itself. I miss the days of Apple adapters having built-in storage for the laptop-side cord - they seem to have dropped this functionality with the switch to USB-C.

The keyboards on every generation of Apple computer with under-keyboard memory were atrocious though - like truly amongst the worst keyboards of all time.
Exactly. Linux became successful only after Linus was re-educated.
I probably wasn't as clear as I could have been on that. The Discord numbers were meant to provide a point of comparison on how little e2ee really impacts scaling active users vs a traditional system but I wasn't very explicit that's why it was being mentioned.
> The real scandal here is why the French authority is making such request on an activist, why Interpol processed it (as far as I understand there are no crimes in play here?), and why the Swiss authority recognizes the request?

This seems easy to answer - according to French media[1], they were activists illegally occupying[2] buildings to protest rising real estate prices. This is illegal in Switzerland, too. What's the scandal? Authorities using their powers?

I think you can only link a GPG public key though.

What people who read this article may not realize is that this is the Chia incentive model actually working properly. It is not cost effective to buy new hard drive equipment to farm(mine) Chia. (This was well discussed by Chia Network and the community before mainnet launch) Chia is really designed to be used to farm existing available storage space that people or companies already have for other purposes. For example, a home NAS system that may currently only be using a small portion of it's capacity. People can then slowly fill that space overtime and potentially make some money from their unused space.

The only time it made sense to buy new equipment to try to plot really quickly, was right at the start before Netspace increased. Chia now has somewhere on the order of 300,000 - 400,000 full nodes operating on the network (already making it more decentralized than Bitcoin) and is approaching 36EiB of space. The "green" benefit of Chia is that you don't throw away the proofs that get generated like you do with Bitcoin mining and instead you can keep them for many years and potentially decades. This is where a lot of the power savings come from. Take a look at https://chiapower.org/ to understand the power usage compared to existing cryptocurrency networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
“Over the course of their working lives, American college graduates earn more than a million dollars beyond those with only a high-school diploma, and a university diploma is required for many jobs as well as most professions, technical work and positions of influence.”

From the article.

There are folks getting useless degrees and/or taking on too much debt, but getting a college degree on the whole is worthwhile.
I feel as if I'm being gaslighted.

If the penalty for the specific illegal move of not getting oneself out of check is to lose the game, what could the practical significance of the rule possibly be?

The other respondent is claiming that chess would become a game of "gotcha," as if the rule somehow prevents chess players from faking injuries to distract the chess ref and get free moves.
Good job!

I much look forward to: hardware key support, password store, mount and integration with back up software (and perhaps rclone which is for data movement).

I am pretty happy with GPG, which supports most of these features and more (sometimes via third parties that use it), but also appreciate Age and may play with it, once it’s more useful.

I like that it’s, apparently, easier for applications to interface with it, particularly in the large and growing Go ecosystem.

One complaint: It’s hard to find Age by Google search!
> dollars [...] will always have value

The US dollar has lost

- ~30% of its value in the last 10 years

- ~84% of its value in the last 50 years

- ~97% of its value since 1900

(Value here refers to purchasing power)

Reason for this is that the US dollar is continually being inflated by the US government, precisely because it has no robust backing.

Trying to paint USDA here as some sort of conspiracy to push processed grains on the population is really doing it a huge disservice and sounds like bad faith argument.

USDA is responsible for pretty much all food and farming oversight, including animal products and fresh vegetables. Just because one of their initiatives produced a misguided food pyramid poster isn't reason to denigrate the entire institution.

I'm sure you enjoy mad cow disease-free beef and salmonella free vegetables and chicken eggs when you go to the supermarket. You can thank USDA for that.
I don't think so. If it was "Github attracts" I would agree, but "Github creates" implies that it's Github that's problematic.
You're being snarky, but that's not even what I said anyway. You can still be successful even if your communication is limited.
Hi, one of the revolt developers here, we plan to have e2ee on DMs.
"Don't judge a book by its cover."

Common saying amongst reasonable people.
I am not talking of the netflix case from the OP, but rather of the general case where you are likely to have multiple services on a single host. Just imagine if a couple of them were Java-based: you'd have to do figure out how much is the maximum needed for each of those and sum it up and ensure the server has that much memory even if they are unlikely to all need it at the same time: if we are talking about waste, that's wasteful to me.

Even in a more modern setting with containers, you'd have similar issues.
That age does not yet have a data recovery utility is, I think, an interesting point, but it is a different point entirely.
Bazel's learning curve is really high if you're learning it from the scratch from the web. It took me most of a week to figure out how to write a custom rule that just calls a python script that dumps out a tree of files. What would been a few lines of makefile turned into about a hundred lines of starlark boilerplate. I haven't given up on it yet, but you need to be using it for something serious to have any hope of amortizing the cost of porting a build to it. Rust+Bazel is combining two niches; I'm surprised there is any support at all at the intersection.
Miners frequently retain the full packaging for return fraud/resale purposes.
I read a sci-fi short story a while back where humans post FTL travel filled an unusual niche in the galactic ecosystem. Because our pursuit-predating ancestors had to anticipate the movements of the animals they tracked, humans were (by galactic standards) incredibly good at 'reading' other sentient races, and 'never play poker against a human' was an accepted truism of the setting.
These issue numbers are non-portable even within github! Two repositories may have the same commits in them but different sets of issues.
I think it's another proof that he has improved. Sure he uses strong language against the problem, but he's clear with what's wrong and why, and how to improve it.
I'm sad about it, but I'm deliberately missing out on a lot of good crypto opportunities because I don't want to spend time sifting through all the fraudulent/scammy ones.

Do you in general believe things of your own will for utilitarian reasons?

It makes me think of "The Secret" / Law of Attraction, or similar cults, though I have not actually been a target of proselytizing for those. More people than I'd realized are into it.
As someone living in small town on world scale. I wonder if even trying to aim at 5 million is doing things wrong... Might it be that real sweet spot is somewhere lower than that?

Yeah, I agree. I actually started out learning programming as a pre-teen by making my own games. It can be a lot of fun at times, but a lot of frustration too, and I can see how the latter eclipses the former as as you scale into a more complex game and with a bigger team.

It's not an easy job that's for sure.
I don’t actually, it was some shenanigans with some holding company buying them out and promising they would stay neutral ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You call total surveillance progress? Why should the government have automatic access to everyone's financial data?
Github already offers several way to incorporate PRs, including squashing and rebasing. It also offers repo admins the ability to _forbid_ maintainers from using the default Github merge. I think that's plenty of work dedicated to fixing this issue.
Except you cannot. The graphics driver of my Nexus 5 no longer receives updates. It is not compatible with newer Android versions.

And… that's it. Just like that, no more updates. Less than two years after I bought it.
Is anyone here familiar with current state of poker AIs / bots? For a long time, I've been thinking about making a multiplayer bot that would be able to play at a somewhat decent level but it seems like an extremely hard problem.

I've read the Pluribus paper but it assumes fixed stack sizes and more importantly, would be very hard to implement. There has to be a simpler approach.
Well, yes. The question was whether you can sign _on GitHub_, so your private key has to be available to GitHub. You can always sign locally if you don't trust GitHub.
And, as I said, these ideas have been explored in depth, and abandoned. Nothing has changed in tires or landing gear, since, to merit going back over everything that was tried.

Suppose your stuff got the tire spinning at the circumferential rate of 20 knots. The plane touches down at 130+ knots. Is the decrease in rubber deposited noticeable? How fast would you need the tire to be spinning to make a noticeable difference? How much does your extra apparatus weigh? How much extra space does it take in the wheel well?

The extra weight has to be carried throughout the flight. Space in the wheel well is tightly constrained, because it is near the center of gravity of the aircraft, where cargo space is most valuable, and where the wing spar crosses through the fuselage.

Everybody thinks of spinning up wheels. Thus far nobody has had answers to the questions that led to acting on the idea.

My concern is that tomorrow, I'll have to deal with one of the junior devs bringing up Linus Torvalds' comment as the starting point for a suggestion we leave GitHub, which ends up being a lot of work for no material gain for my org.

Torvalds isn't wrong, and I'm almost certain he didn't mean, "...and therefore everyone should quit GitHub immediately." but people will interpret it that way. And on the off chance he did mean for everyone to quit GitHub, he's then ignoring a cornucopia of value that GitHub provides unrelated to his expertise as the creator of git, which I don't think he's arrogant enough to do, anymore.
Looks like inflation has spiked in the last few months in the US, but that's after a long period of fairly low inflation. Compared to the past century, it's not that extreme yet; the 1970s and 1980s had higher inflation[0]. And the high house prices are not something from just the past few months, so it's really not inflation that's causing it.

My personal experience is Netherland[1] where the period of low inflation still continues, and house prices have also been shooting up for quite some time. We sold our previous house for 25% more after 8 years, and our current house has increased 25% in value after only 4 years. And even before I bought my first house, I was dismayed at the ridiculous house prices and wanted to wait until the whole thing crashed. (It did crash shortly after we bought our first house in 2008, but even that barely hurt the value of our house.)

The definition of clickbait, according to Wikipedia is:

> Clickbait is a text or a thumbnail link that is designed to attract attention and to entice users to follow that link and read, view, or listen to the linked piece of online content, being typically deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading.

I don't see the title as misleading. I expected to see a kernel mailing list email from Linus where he says what he doesn't like about Github merges and that's what I got.
