You've mischaracterized what I meant. When I was reading the Intercept article, and it first started talking about EcoHealth and Daszak, the names were familiar but I couldn't remember where I heard them, so I searched and found the Wikipedia article on him, and it was then that I was like "Oh yeah, it's this guy." It's not like some news sources were keeping this information from me.

And that was about the definition of an isolated incident, or the exception that proves the rule.

So, I'm left wondering what your point is? You think utopia isn't something to strive for? We must accept our fate because of an isolated incident in a country that while much much better at taking care of its people than America is still far from actually a utopia?

Sketchviz [1] runs almost entirely in free tiers from Cloudflare and AWS:

- Cloudflare to avoid big bandwidth bills from AWS for the wasm-compiled graphviz that is on every page

- AWS Lambda's 1M free requests and 400,000 GB-seconds for expressjs (web serving) and graphviz (rendering hostable .png images)

- API Gateway's 1M free requests for routing HTTP -> AWS Lambda (for the app) or S3 (for hosted PNGs)

- S3's 20K GET requests/mo (for hosted PNGs)

The only one I exceed is S3, but it's dirt cheap.

I've bookmarked your gitea bc repo, not just for bc, but as an example of a neatly managed FOSS project, like providing performance comparison, fuzzing, project structure, the fact of using self-hosted gitea itself, etc

Skimming through [1], I see neither of Winget [2] nor Chocolatey [3] have any `bc` implementations as of yet. Maybe you can send them a PR? It may help adoption in other distros in the future.

Hope your implementation wins ;)

As of 2020, nuclear energy's death toll (including Chernobyl and Fukushima) was roughly the same as the combined death toll of solar and wind (resp. 0.07, 0.02, and 0.04 deaths per TWh): https://ourworldindata.org/safest-sources-of-energy

Hydro is also surprisingly low at 0.02, though failures are absolutely catastrophic I guess they tend to be out of the way and fairly local: so a dam failure will take out a village at once, and do extensive geological-scale damage, but not much more.
Not an expert, but this has more or less already been done [1] and led to a temporary moratorium on this research.

To your last question, releasing such a thing would basically assure your (and your people's) own destruction in addition to your target's, as we've seen by how difficult it has been to control COVID. So you'd have to want everyone dead, and generally speaking the people who would be willing to actually do something like that don't have the resources and knowledge to make it happen.

It’s What We Know That Just Ain’t So: Epistemic Failure in Software Engineering
You're right I got confused... It is getting late here.
In my case, it was just one single simple question about pointing out the direction the car was coming from and going to on a diagram of the intersection.

There was nothing clever about the question. Maybe they had a few up their sleeve for subsequent questions, but we never got that far, as I was immediately dismissed. I spent maybe 60 seconds in the courtroom.

It really was a case of casual observer not having useful information. Just because I saw and heard the impact doesn’t mean that noticed any of the details that would have made a difference to anyone.

In my experience Amazon voluntarily delays orders by several days before shipping anyway, presumably to encourage people to sign up for their sunk cost fallacy. Quick shipping can be handy some times, but it's really not this end-all be-all that people bought into the sunk cost fallacy make it out to be. And traditional big box stores have better search functionality, lower prices, and supply chain integrity.

I'd be perfectly content with packages getting delivered only two days per week to better amortize the route length. It's the delivery companies that are pushing these every day routes, presumably so they don't have to be in the storage business.
I as a technical user know that the assumption is wrong, and that to achieve the desired properties one needs something like the Tor Browser.

But it is still reasonable to make that assumption.

Chrome benefits from its association with Google. This means that Google should also deal with the consequences of that association.

Not only that, there's not really any way Google could avoid tracking people who're using Incognito mode, because that would require telling websites that Incognito mode is in use - which itself is a privacy issue and any method of detecting this ends up being widely abused to try and foce people not to use it. I can't imagine that letting Google and only Google have access to this information would go down any better.
Exactly. Also I’m not impressed with a lot of the ecosystem. After getting more acquainted with many very important libraries I can see the poor quality and it’s scary.

> JSON stuff? Eh, I feel that’s largely a solution looking for a problem.

Before I say anything else, your viewpoint is totally valid. :) I can't truly argue against it in an objective sense, I think.

It's funny that you say that, however, because that's my perspective on XML in general; it's a solution looking for a problem. Sure, we have Atom, it's here, let's just use it, and I kind of agree. Yet if Atom has already been in a sort of decline, if you will, the complexity it adds only detracts from any sort of resurgence in adoption. The entire syntax is designed to support types, which as far as I've seen is something that has never really been used. I mean, whose feed actually uses custom XML namespaces/tags? Feeds are these verbose and overly-abstract markup files for a purpose nobody really asked for. If someone needs to stick more metadata into their feed, they can already do it with JSON by just adding a non-standard key to the object. Done. No need to have anything beyond primitive types or declaring namespaces.

As far as the HTML thing goes, that's a fair point, but I have to disagree. I don't want HTML to taint titles of things in a feed reader. It's bad enough that people can use emojis and different stylized unicode characters in them, but HTML would just make things worse. I don't need titles to have bold or italics or colors or whatnot. If that's going to be in the actual content body, then so be it, but what you are suggesting sounds like a horrible idea. Granted, I didn't have that problem back when I used to use a feed reader.
I think the problem is the compensation model. None of the people building the plant have any skin in the game. At some level the people doing the work aren’t paid enough to care enough to prevent the issues that plague new nuclear projects, or they don’t have the resources, or they don’t have any incentive to go the extra mile to ensure project success. Are there stock options and equity for the engineers and project managers? Any ambitious engineer graduating in the last 15 years probably went to tech, not utilities. I’m in the energy sector
I think what you wrote I found to relate to something I think about often - what is success?

To an MBA, selling off all the IP, selling it off, divesting of key assets and leasing them back, while owning a portion of the relationship at the end is success, treating sales as the most key part of the business process.

To an engineer, in-sourcing, building up strong engineering, R&D, recruiting strong engineering talent, and optimizing product for tradeoffs, treating the output of products itself as the most key part of the business process.

Lisa Su has done just that - if you create the best product based on the best engineering, the buyers will come.
> It does, the user can choose to use GTK or Qt apps.

That's... not what I meant by it. I find this dangerous as it encourages duplicate work for minor differences.

I would rather not have to make both a GTK and a Qt version of my program just so my users can have the ability to do some basic customization.

> So making it all configurable is just guaranteeing that the app is broken out of the box

Not sure why you think that. You just put the existing choices as the defaults.

> You may have to accept that some apps are not built to work in a tiling WM

What about my apps then? As a programmer I want my programs to be friendly for both tiling and non-tiling WMs. This by itself excludes gtk as an option for me.

As for some apps not built to work in tiling WMs, the changes needed to make them work properly are usually extremely minor. To be honest it feels like the GNOME team is going out of their way to degrade the usability of their apps (and apps using gtk) for tiled WMs.

> In my experience, you will have a lot of trouble with some apps for various other reasons too

Some apps might have some minor issues that can usually be solved without a lot of effort, but even if they are not they don't usually pose any problem.

> I'm confused, you said everything supports it, but then immediately listed something that didn't support it.

Yes? Everything except mutter supports it as far as I know. Is there something difficult to understand here?

Edit: I heard that Enlightenment does not support it either.
I notice that python has `rstrip` while `nim` doesn't. Python's `rstrip()` is allocating a whole new line there. Does the nim iterator skip over whitespace or something? Do those bits of code output the same thing? The presence or absence of the whitespace will affect the `total` count.
StyleGAN interpolations of latent space are mindblowing but they are fundamentally superficial, which you can at times tell and more often get bored of. Instead, I would like to see a transformer network trained on ontogenetic/phylogenetic development/evolution material which could then generate new creatures. The representations could be abstract, identified by key topological properties for instance, which could then be used to do whatever artistic renderings with. Of course, in the end, perhaps the truest abstract representation would be genes and proteins.

I just scanned this, but some of it seems ludicrously wrong. Like rating chat a neutral face for "find" when honestly one of the biggest advantages to chat in my mind is being able to search for key terms long in the future and be able to turn up the exact transcript of the discussion you're thinking of. Or like this quote:

> Using interactive chat is a good idea for the kind of communication that requires immediate, interactive mutual feedback from two or more participants. If that is not the case, chat is not a good idea.

No. Just... no. This is so wrong it's absurd. The point of text chat instead of in-person chat is that it's asynchronous and it doesn't require immediate, interactive feedback. I'm honestly just baffled at how someone could actually use chat and come to this kind of conclusion.

You're not going against the will of God by stopping at 3. Or by not having children at all.

But if you give contraception a fixed place in your life, to have sex which is fundamentally closed to children, then you have introduced a contradiction into your body and into your life.

You don't have to spend 20% of your time waiting for somebody to show up! That's an organization culture issue.

For the daily team coordination meeting I run, we had a problem with that. So after one especially egregious delay, I asked how people felt about that. They didn't like it, of course. I then said I wanted a consistent start time, but was open as to when it was. At the hour? 1 minute after? 5 minutes after?

To my surprise, they picked 1 minute after. And everybody has stuck to it. A couple months in we'll occasionally have somebody turn up late, but the meeting starts without them, so they know not to do it again. It's great!

We also build an agenda on the fly, keeping the pace brisk. Usually we finish a few minutes early, and sometimes the meeting will be a zippy 10-15 minutes. It's possible to have good, useful meetings!
Maybe not that weird, although not the most common syntax. In Nim 0 - 2^2 evaluates to -4, while -2^2 evaluates to +4. So in -2, the - is treated as a unary minus and binds tightly to the 2. It would be bad if Nim were doing + or - before ^, or before *. I have a feeling some other languages treat the unary minus the same way, but don’t know of any examples off hand.

Depends on the cause of emissions. A few are not for purely energy but involved in some kind of chemical reaction. Concrete and Metal extraction are 2 examples. Having a way to offset is important in a cheap manner. Metal extraction esp is a prob as carbon reacts with several metal oxides and reduces it releasing heat. Since it generates heat and creates the final product, it prob more efficient then the alternative electrolysis route.

But yes offsetting CO2 produced due to energy is a waste.
"The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed."

Most people were blissfully unaware of the existence of PDAs, much less how they worked or what they could do, and for them the iPhone might as well have emerged perfectly formed from an unspecified bodily orifice of Steve Jobs. The statement "It almost _felt like_ a product delivered from the future" is entirely justified.
Its a valid concern. There are so many issues with the current architecture there is likely no silver bullet.

The ultimate objective is to align the interests of users with the interest of service providers (abolish the user-as-a-product business model). Interoperability may be used as a fulcrum to force some price discovery about services, or allow building new business models that add value to the users, who knows...

I read the entire thread for this submission last night, which has an amazing amount of deep discussion, to wake up to a comment from a user without much post history saying nothing more than "guys, nothing to see here" pushed to the top.

You pay these people for their PhD level knowledge of math and stats, because that is a sparse skill: No matter how many Coursera courses one does, you can not upskill anyone to that level (at least, I have never seen it).

So, if their time is better spent applying that knowledge rather than thinking about infrastructure trivialities, then by all means, pay an engineer to clean up. In the end, that's still more cost-efficient.

That being said, I refuse to believe that anyone leaving university today with a degree in stats/ML/econometrics etc. doesn't know git and can not be taught good programming that doesn't at least interfere with operations.

But as soon as you start requiring your experts to do infrastructure, you are either wasting money, or you hired a quotation mark "data scientist" with a degree from medium.com and towardsdatascience.org or whatever - in which case by all means, require them to do engineering duties.

Or, if it was intended more of a casual comment than an accurate prediction of the future, then I will simply ask for that: do you believe it is most likely that ~"no one will come and save us", and if so is a component of that belief based on a belief that ~it is not possible to save us?
