You can see a great map of how terrible Germany's grid is compared to say France with this map [1].

Compared to France, which is so green due to high levels of nuclear, Germany has banned the building, and is compelling the decommissioning of all nuclear plants, with the last ones expected to be shut down in the next couple of years [2].

Thank you for clarifying and explaining :)

I mixed things up a bit. Guix doesn't have a stable channel but Nix does. Twice a year sounds quite fast - but maybe that's just what I'm used to from Ubuntu LTS. I can't imagine being a package maintainer and having to deal with build issues that often (I guess it only targets x64 so it's not too bad)

> If you really need that kind of stability

I guess I don't really 'need' it .. but I just rather my system not be constantly updating and changing under me.

Looks like you have run stable and add unstable packages as needed:

(like running LTS and adding PPAs)
That’s certainly true. However, making up transactions is almost core to money laundering, and laundromats don’t like to pay taxes for obvious reasons.
No the hardware wallet is only used to sign the transaction that's broadcasted by my local node. The failing case was with monerod in the background.

Maybe I should look into the CLI. Does it support Ledger?
In terms of debugging inconvenience for intermediate values, `->(x) | a | b | c` is the same as `c(b(a(x)))`.

I find debugging /w a REPL using functional-esque code much easier. You can play around and exec/inspect lines/snippets at will without changing state & "breaking" the debug session.
Not the way the question is phrased, I never had a RIM BlackBerry, but I have a TCL KeyOne right now and I love it. For all my life I only had phones with keyboards, and KeyOne was the only one available at the time, and I wouldn't buy a phone without a keyboard. I really hate typing on glass, can't do it with a basic keyboard and I refuse to rely on some spyware to constantly correct me for a low price of sending every single word I type to a third party.

> JavaScript became popular because of the browser

That is a very popular perspective. In the past I have seen this sentiment used heavily by people who hate JavaScript as a means to rationalize how JavaScript could have become popular at all.

Unfortunately this sentiment is disqualified by data.

The browser became a popular platform in the late 90s and early 2000s as business and social interest on the web grew. JavaScript has been around cross-platform in a mostly consistent way since 1998 due to the publication of early current standards.

This did not make JavaScript popular though. JavaScript would not become popular for more than a decade later.

In 2008 a couple of things happened. Chrome launched offering the first JavaScript JIT. Before this JavaScript was hundreds of times slower than it is now. Also, jQuery started gaining popularity at this time which allowed employers to hire any dumbass off the street to write in it. Douglas Crockford also heavily evangelized the language for its expensive capabilities: functions as first class citizens, optional OOP (easily ignored/bypassed), native lexical scope.

A little after that around 2009/2010 Node.js launched and GitHub became common knowledge. It’s about this time that JavaScript exploded in popularity. The web was already popular for more than a decade before this.

> Functional programming is less popular because no major successful platform has adopted a functional language as the preferred language.

I would argue functional programming is incredibly popular but less common in the workplace because OOP conventions are what’s taught at school.
> A company putting an ad on their own website for their own product isn't an abuse of market position. That's the falsehood I'm referring to.

In that case bundling IE with Windows definitely isn't abuse of market power either.

> It's tiresome and doesn't contribute one bit when you defeat any points you may legitimately have with all that griping. What's the point in tossing out the age card here?

First time I've heard anyone at HN indicating age is an advantage.

I put that there for humorous effect, a self depreciating joke in between the serious comparison of two abusing monopolies.

> Everything else that you keep tossing back in as "do you mean..." is an attempt to evade that point that I made and to put words in my mouth.

So tell me what you mean then.
Well it’s because historically in the US, voting laws have been used to make sure the “wrong sorts” of people didn’t get a chance to vote.
The podcast also says that they have ~60 customers in 40 countries... do your calculations.
Yup, agree with everything you said. Just want to add that all of those problems are also present with the “byzantine monopolistic middlemen” model.
I think that on the Western side, there is more "hope" for authenticity than actual authenticity itself.

However, when there is actual authenticity, it tends to be something that pays off from a social media standpoint.

Just so you know ... that would exclude me. That's OK, of course, a more niche audience can lead to better and richer conversations, and there will always be people on the fringes.

Let me put this in equations. The basic equation is right:

ES = CI - CO

ES (energy stored) equals CI (calories in) minus CO (calories out).

CI is all that you eat, but for CO we have

CO = CO_physical_exercise + CO_excess_burned

The term CO_physical_exercise can be directly measured and is the same for everyone, given the same workload. But CO_excess_burned is different for everyone. E.g. we all know that person that can eat anything, do nothing, but remains slim. It is this term that deserves more attention.

> while I appear to be aware of what works for a software team

I think the problem might be here. You don't know what works because nobody does. These books offer frameworks and mental models to work through problems but every organisation is different.

Approaching it as "I have the solution and I just can't do it because you don't let me" is not great and I'm not surprised it hasn't worked. If you cannot get the rest of leadership or your boss on the same boat as you, you don't have any solution. The best of solutions is worthless if it can't even be put into practice.

This is assuming everyone has good faith and is trying to improve things. If not, switch jobs.
TL;DR: A charismatic Nigerian architect conned Western journalists and philanthropists into thinking he had built an innovative new school structure for serving a slum. He accepted their accolades, press, and prize money even though the school never once actually held classes, and it collapsed in a storm shortly thereafter.

This is, like, a metaphor for something.

Congratulations on your success in life.

I wasn't criticizing people like you (although this thread does seem to have hit a nerve). I was critizing the assumption that you are morally culpable (or indeed praise worthy) for how you run your company.

You are able to be a good boss and that's great. In fact it's probably good business to be. But you could just as easily have been born the inheritor of a sweatshop garment factory in Bangladesh and unable to make a profit unless you employed children under appalling conditions.

The economic conditions dictate the possible relationships with employees. As profits decline (late stage capitalism) in different economic sectors the options narrow.

In the future your economic sector may become the target of a wave of consolidation. If a competitor starts buying up all the competition and adopting a more aggressive business model with lower prices you will be forced to adapt.
I often see this said but you can do some quick math to see it affects more than wealthy people. A median single-family home in CA is now $800k, so the property tax on that would almost be enough to hit the $10k. And that’s before any other state or local taxes like income tax.

I actually don’t support reinstating the SALT tax deduction but the discussion of it seems off.
It might be intentional. I noticed the accent too and it really left the impression that china is a technological leader now and might not need to adapt to the west as much anymore.
I don't think ML was what it is today when python started.
I don't think so. I believe the majority of their commercial paper is in reality IOU to the affiliated exchanges - so money printed from thin air.

OK, a few points here. Firstly, reducing hospitalizations was not the point of the vaccines. That's this week's narrative that was retrofitted onto events when the vaccines failed at their actual goal. We know this because:

• The vaccine trials didn't use "severe disease" or hospitalizations/deaths as their target metric. They used PCR positives.

• The original protocols don't include boosters.

• The pre-2021 definition of vaccine is something that makes you immune.

What's happening now is grotesque: dictionaries are actually changing their definition of vaccine to try and cover up that the COVID vaccines have failed on their own terms. Compare Merriam-Webster before [1] and after [2]. The definition at the start of 2021 is short and to the point, a vaccine is administered to "produce or artificially increase immunity". The definition today is that a vaccine merely has to "stimulate the body's immune response". No actual immunity needs to be created under the new definition, which has been rewritten because the COVID vaccines fail to meet the normal definition of vaccine. We already have a word for what the COVID "vaccines" are doing, the word is prophylactic. And there's nothing wrong with those! They're just different to vaccines.

"some stupid idea that vaccines are this magic shield against any infection"

This idea is not stupid. It is the conventional expectation for vaccines up until this point. Vaccinations against diseases like smallpox, measles, mumps and so on do provide you a magic shield, which is why vaccines were taken so seriously and seen as so important previously. That's also why pre-2021 discussion of vaccines were dominated by discussions of herd immunity thresholds and whether vaccination could achieve zero COVID, a topic that's now vanished. Once again, this new narrative is made up in the last few months as it becomes clear the COVID vaccines aren't working properly.

"Also you don't account for possible explanations for the UK data. For example, maybe unvaccinated people in the UK are more likely to have previously contracted COVID"

I provided a possible explanation in the final paragraph. The one you're proposing is literally the exact same alternative explanation I posted in reply to nradov. I think this is quite possible.

In my university, I was a part of an experimental class that did the introduction to programming class in Ocaml (we had to prove that we can write C beforehand).

There weren't issues with it. If functional programming was introduced earlier, people would have less trouble learning it.

Meanwhile Stanford does an analogous class in Python. And all of those alumni go on to define the industry trends.

I see this point come up often, but it doesn’t really line up with my own experiences. I find the explicit state control in functional languages makes it much easier to write enterprise CRUD.

I wonder what's the focal length would be?
The AOSP Keyboard on degoogled Android ROMs don't send what you type to a third party, it does the auto-correction offline. For the Google Board, which is based on AOSP Keyboard, I'm not sure. There are also open source keyboards that have some sort of offline auto-correction too.

However this does not solve the typing on a glass. For that you have Bluetooth keyboards. The problem is that you now need to grab two things to type stuff. That could be a good trade off: you have the keyboard for long messages and can still send quick things on the glass.

Or, you might be interested by the Pinephone with its keyboard case! I have the Pinephone but not the keyboard case, but considering the option. For now I type most things from the computer, glass is good enough for the rare times I don't have my computer. It does not have auto-correction, and I am surprised it does not miss me that much.

You're reinterpreting what "influencer" means. An influencer isn't someone who influences you to be like them. That's called "role model". An influencer is someone whose job is to influence your purchasing decisions.

Before it became a career, originally "influencer" was a marketing designation for a person who's well-connected within target market's social graph, and thus is the optimal target to hire or manipulate into peddling crap to their followers.

There's nothing here preventing virtual personas from being influencers too. Being a real person who can be emulated is an asset for an influencer, but it's not a necessity - it doesn't matter why people follow you, it matters that they do, and that they are vulnerable to you manipulating them. Having such a network of vulnerable followers is what makes an influencer valuable to sponsors.
Betting tips for Tuesday 14 September
If you do that, then you have to admit different kinds of imperative code: C-imperative style that can modify any state in the application as side effects, and Haskell-imperative where you can only modify state explicitly declared as input to the procedure.

It's not just mind games, the difference has very real implications to the architecture of the whole program and the control you can exert over unpredictable side errors.
The US population has almost doubled since he wrote that book.

While I can easily believe most specific individual humans could (with skill and training) get a good meal after a few hours spent foraging if considered separately, that is very different from saying that all of the population can be fed that way at the same time.

Looks like the same "eye candy" as having a data-center inside Paris overall.

To me, it looks a lot like a "fun project" for them, a bit useless though: even-though it has quite reinforced walls, it's very small for a DC, it required a huge lot of work to make it ready for servers, the building itself must have cost a huge amount compared to a location in an industrial zone, it's not the best place in a city to put equipment like generators, there is no space for expansion, connectivity for networking and power with multiple source must have been a big challenge due to constrained access, ...

Finally, knowing quite well how the Parisian metro gets infiltrations all the time in the stations, I find it crazy of them to take it as reference: if their situation is comparable, they are in for a lot of trouble over time.
