HN history goes as far as 4 years ago claiming it's "new": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15394126.
Error handling is definitely something to think hard about. Personally, I like Maybe/Either types, especially combined with syntax to make them easier to work with, whether that's Haskell's do syntax or Rust's ? operator.
My best guess is that the energy providers speculated on the energy trading market and lost, creating a huge gap. There's almost no risk for them, because when they win, they make a lot of profit, and when they lose they can just tell consumers there is a shortage in energy.

Ofc. this market is highly regulated, but if I understood correctly there's a lot of room in between the whitespace for interpretations.

(Note : Highly simplified explanation, in reality this will be implemented via leverage and derivatives, but I've consulted for an energy trading division a couple of decades ago.)
Just to elaborate on the downvotes: it's really not 'industry standard' to connect to your database over GraphQL. I'm not saying nobody is doing it, or that it doesn't work well (for all I know, it might), but it's certainly not an 'industry standard'.
While I think this would be nice to have in principle, I think the devil is really in the details. For example, the structure you show for these sub-commits is one I generally hate to review - the data models may look OK when I look at them, but then when I see the implementation code, I realize that the data models were inadequate etc.
Except in rich areas probably, they will find a way to still do it, but without disturbing the residents somehow

In those environments i'd expect a tech lead to take the initiative to stand up and explain / defend the team's quality control processes.

If the management rebukes, you move employer.

Quality is not something the customer or your manager is responsible for. It's entirely on us as professional developers.

That said - code review is not the only way to ensure quality. Do what works. Pairing generally works even better for getting quality review time in.

"you can be sure the access control and security measures taken by them"

How could you possible write this, did you live under a rock for the past 10 years?

Big Co's have literally extorted people and leaked their sex tapes, Vigilante placed bounties on people's heads, Equifax left national databases unsecured, phone operstors have sold realtime location to the highest bigger and left the website to access it unsecured, the list goes on an on. Unbelievable!

In my country the price this month is around twice that of the historical average. Switching to a electricity plan last month that is based upon these prices, instead of fixed, probably wasn't a smart idea :D

Police in these major American cities, like all public sector workers (and especially emergency workers), get paid really well too.

The political system of these major Democrat dominated cities is entirely dysfunctional. The only thing the public sector unions, and their political puppets, offer as a solution, is more social spending:

2003 was the per-spoonfeeding era.
In Erlang, one would usually pass atoms like 'with_gain' or 'without_gain', and substitute default values with arity-overloading: e.g. there would be two calc_formula functions, one with 2 arguments and one with 3 arguments, and the 2-argument one would simply call the 3-argument with the last parameter set to 'with_gain'.

And in case of really large number of parameters, one would generally pass either a map or (in older code) a proplist: #{is_gain => true, other_param => 42, ...} or [{is_gain, true}, {other_param, 42}, ...]. There is no beautiful syntax for destructuring all that stuff with default values, unfortunately.
Content marketing, medium and twitter crushed blogging.

The first two are about the reputation of blogging and the third about lower levels of entry for most people. Sad but true.
Is it also the case that since locking people behind the Berlin Wall is bad we can make a simplistic analogy that locking people behind bars in prison is also bad? Or is life in general more complex, especially on the level of entire societies and their history?
Since the purpose of these weapons are to raise the cost on a Chinese attempt to control the pacific… ignoring the money, I wonder if it is in France’s best interest for Australia to have nuclear subs instead of diesel subs.
Interesting, I'll have to take a stab at trying something like that. Thanks for the reply!
> drones are quieter than cars

People get coffee delivered by car? If that is so it is rather depressing.
What's the environmental effect? It seems like a clear improvement over current delivery mechanisms, since it's lighter and can be powered with electricity. Is your argument based on some assumption of induced demand, i.e. that it will encourage people to get more deliveries?
> So call me a hater if you like.

I'd probably call it tribalism? 20th century had quite a lot of poorer people killing richer people in the name of same.
You also post a 2500 word article on Twitter, apparently.
Hmm, I think disease, poverty, and lack of access to healthcare are less serious problems now than at any previous point in human history, even though covid has killed more than 4.69 million people so far, and probably closer to 20 million. (By way of comparison, cancer and coronary artery disease kill almost 9 million people a year each. Diarrhea kills 1.3 million.) So if those are your standards, then on four of the five axes you mention—climate change, disease, poverty, healthcare access, and moonball—this would count as a utopia rather than a dystopia.

Climate change is a pretty big deal, though, and it could undo all the dramatic advancements we've made in space travel, healthcare access, and fighting disease and poverty.

For most of the websites out there (that might want to accept user input, or ensure that the page content isn't manipulated or hijacked), that indeed would be a good recommendation.

What would prevent someone from adding a few <script> tags here and there with ads on your site, or code to spy on your users? ISPs have historically already abused this, here's just one example, though you can look up plenty more through your search engine of choice: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30505416/eliminate-isp-i...

"Our lived historical experience of a revolution becomes only a cultural artefact"

These monuments aren't 'their lived historical experience of a revolution' they are cultural artifacts.

This is the problem with monuments and artworks built to commemorate events or remember atrocities - they will always have some value as an artwork that will 'take away' some of the memory and meaning of the original event. They exist as cultural artifacts in their own right
If y'all only try to see if there is CSAM and then uninstall when you succeed, then of course the CSAM percentage will become high because only the CSAM perverts do not leave!

So instead keep using it and actually put the other content onto it yourself!

Hosting on Freenet is free and easy, you just upload a site and post it to FMS and it will be online for many years if people keep accessing it.

You don't need any server whatsoever: The machines of the other users store content which you upload (in an encrypted fashion so they cannot censor it and aren't legally culpable for it). It automatically gets replicated to more machines as it becomes more popular, thus good content stays available for a very long time and unpopular content gets garbage-collected.

So put your "money", i.e. effort, where your mouth is:

Don't just only constantly criticize FAANG for lack of privacy and censorship.

Instead, also take care of actively maintaining the spaces which provide privacy & freedom so they don't become barren.

A free public space which is only controlled by the general public needs the general public to take care of it.

The experience of being around other children can frequently be pretty awful for a lot of kids. There are a lot of asshole children out there who belong in a zoo rather than a school. Socialization is good, but forced socialization under a poorly run authoritarian regime, not so much.
It would take about 115k square miles of normal solar panels to cover the world energy use (23000TW), this translates to about 340 miles side square of land, I'm sure we could split this to various solar efficient locations and just close the deal with all this hydrocarbons Et al. BS. And can be solar parabolic-through systems instead of PV, no efficiency loss and night thermal storage built in. But of course we'll never unite and forget about profit and petty arguments just for once...World mechanics are just broken.

But if a country mitigates, e.g. by having many operators of different technologies, then consumers can hardly help noticing the price of nuclear. So the operators of nuclear plants end up having to explain ⓐ why they're expensive ⓑ that they are more reliable than the Japanese operators at Fukushima and c) why they still require public subsidy of their liability insurance.

If you don't think what is on the link above is brutal, then you are out of your mind.
If I am not mistaken, Australia insisted on the diesel subs while France would have rather supplied nuclear as it was the default design.

This is also claimed to be one of the reasons of cost/timeline overrun.
These applications will 100% be decentralized, but cryptocurrency needs better scalability first. You can't be paying $20 in gas fees to place an order.
"I'm not sure I see the direct link between privacy and freedom."

Have you seen "never talk to the police" video, explaining that not even congress know how many different crimes/laws are on the books?

Explaining how easy it is to charge a random person with a crime and get a conviction based on just ill reflection of their character?

Can you draw the logical connection between lack of privacy and how easy it makes it to charge random people arbitrarily? How this could be used for political gain, profit or to supress dissent?
Isn't it the purpose of the new "Add to queue" feature? Hover a video add you'll see a "Watch later" and "Add to queue". Never used it myself.
Still cheap compared to Denmark. I'm not one for optimizing my electric bill, so I've probably got a fairly bad deal by paying between 27 c/kWh and 34 c/kWh. 75% of the electric bill consists of fees to the state anyway, it's quite ridicules.

The upside is that these fluctuations are kind of mitigated and smoothed out.
France, like any other western country, UK included, is heavily dependent on the USA for defence. France’s low opinion of NATO is part of a broader delusional weltanschauung which sees France as an economic and military superpower. It is staged in a parallel universe where the 19th century never ended and the Franco-Prussian war never happened.
Only in the west. In Korea it’s about the same price as other clean energy forms.

Police are incredibly bad at handling auto-theft level of property crime.

It seems like the root issue isn’t the catching but the recatching. If you want to nearly eliminate it, punish it like Singapore does. I don’t think we have the will to do that (in fact, seem to be heading in the opposite direction), so police will continue to catch the heat for how much property crime continues to happen.

Yes, but also no. Interconnects are fine in Scandinavia, but a dry summer means less hydro to pick up in a period of less wind. So you need to fire up the coal plant once again, and they are slowly being dismantled.

It’s really an unfortunate combination of circumstances, and it affects areas which doesn’t rely on imported gas and nuclear, with working interconnects as well.
This is laughable analysis - one of the reasons given is the lack of wind. WTF.

Right, it's not because the government, greens and crony capitalists made sure the money had to be burned on wind power plants.

Why don't you also blame it on climate changes and call for more public investment in solar or some shit. Maybe that's what they did by the end of the article....
Unreal Tournament 2004
With Windows being componentized, this is often a lot easier than it used to be - there's official minimal editions like the forgotten Nano Server (or an attempt at remaking it like remin-core: https://github.com/replisys/remin-core), IoT, Factory OS and whatnot, but even adding the legacy GUI subsystem you can get somewhat small when building Windows PE variants like used for the default setup/recovery images.

At least a few years ago some of this trend was still alive making little PE images that could almost be used for real desktop use on sites like reboot.pro and other spin-offs, though it seems to be a lot less mainstream than the piracy heydays during the XP era.
I use Firebase. Most projects don't need more than the free tier. A few are on the paid tier; however, the monthly cost is covered by revenue and way below the cost of running our own infra. I would not switch services/host a backend just to save a few hundred bucks. Call their bluff.
Sad to see they succeeded in obtaining a legal right to restrict other people's right to freely contract, and an indoctrinated public passively accepts it.
It looks like you're trying to make a clever joke in the style of mocking SV types for reinventing products that have existed for generations, except you're wrong. The parent means the Amazon delivery locker kiosks they're putting in all kinds of retail stores, where you enter a code to unlock the locker with your package. It is secure from theft, has variable sizes, works 24/7 with no waiting for a clerk, and can fill the delivery needs of a neighborhood far more efficiently than apartment-style mailboxes where each resident is assigned their own small locker.

I wish that USPS would get into this service, because I'm not a fan of Amazon and package theft is rampant. It is nearly impossible to replicate the Amazon locker experience through USPS and other online retailers. If you want to order a package and pick it up at the post office, the best you can hope for is to beg the seller to send it to you via general delivery, which many do not allow. And even though renting a PO box lets you ship packages to the post office and pick them up, most retailers won't ship to PO boxes. A PO box costs about the same per year as a Prime subscription. Plus, you still have to wait in line to pick up your packages.
A three thousand dollar electric bike that enables someone to carry out a valuable service is the very definition of ‘capital’.
you should document your code instead of over-complicating it.

Overworking actually - they've been running a couple of the interconnects on the South Coast of England at 50% over capacity. Not surprisingly, this eventually overheated and ignited the oil-fired cooling, burning one of them down.

The thing is, even if one IS susceptible to distraction and procrastination, the OP's solution may not and probably does not apply.

It's nice that the OP has a life where they are only answerable to themselves and where they can carve out time as they see fit and the only challenge is their own self-control. Noticeably absent from the article is the mention of any spouse or kids.

So what we're talking about with the OP is a single, self-employed, well-to-do knowledge worker who has found a way to exercise self-control. That's fine, more power to them, and it's great that this advice may apply to one segment of the long tail demographics of the internet, but the range of people for whom the OP advice "doesn't apply" is huge and includes far more than just people who struggle with procrastination and distraction.
Absolutely. Hydrogen can be stored underground for maybe $1/kWh of storage capacity. There would also be power related costs, but those don't matter nearly as much for rare event backup.

Germany alone has the potential to store an estimated 9.6 PWh of hydrogen, enough to supply their average electric power demand for years, not weeks.

The crime described in the article hurts capital too. Many companies have to leave markets due to the costs imposed by the described criminality. This bifurcation betweem labor and capital is an invention of socialists/unions, to draw attention away from the exploitation that they demand.

> re: ruby version

I hoped you would tell me how to pin a specific version in nix, and you didn't. So far, I've asked this question at least three times. This question is either avoided or ignored. Ah yes. There's one "solution" with overlays which is neither maintainable nor scalable.

> ruby version In ubuntu

Is nix ubuntu?

> What is possible is to pin the version you need by specifying the commit.

Commit hashes are not versions

> I would need to use rvm anyway. It's the same with nix

We keep hearing the claim that nix is about builds. Builds often need their dependencies pinned to specific versions. If I still need to use rvm with nix, what's the point?

This is especially funny in the context: we're in the comment section to a post claiming that we should ditch our "version managers" while providing an alternative that, so far, looks to be significantly worse at what it claims to do.
LNG gets expensive because it’s a globalize market. Cheaper to use pipelined Russian gas and try not to think too hard about the repercussions.
I live in a pretty safe suburb in the United States so I'm fine with packages left at my front door. In 20 years I have never had a package stolen.

For high value packages that require a signature I have them redirected to a UPS or FedEx store 1-2 miles from my house. This can be done by making a UPS or FedEx account which allows you to redirect packages. I can then pick them up after work and the line is never more than 1 or 2 people.

Amazon has recently introduced "Key by Amazon" which allows them to open your garage door and put the packages inside your garage.
