"Zero carbon" is not a serious or viable goal, and the only politicians I'm aware of who are promising this are ones with big green constituencies that need to be mollified. Yes, they are lying, because their voters want what is impossible. If that's your voter base, then the politicians who get elected will be the ones who lie to you.

FYI, China is going to open 120 new coal plants this year, adding 100 million tons of coal capacity. It is already emitting more carbon than the Western world, and it's just getting going. There is no green movement there to placate, so they adopted efficency goals of reducing carbon emissions per unit of GDP. Primarily, they want to clean up the air, which means long term moving away from burning coal to generate power as well as cars that burn gasoline. But they are not willing to do this at the expense of economic growth - nor should they. They will reduce usage of coal once sufficient capacity for alternatives is in place, and not before. Nor will they stop doing things like flying planes or making plastics when there are no alternatives.

What is a viable goal is reducing the amount of carbon per dollar of GDP as more efficient processes are adopted, but it's not going to go to zero. As the reasonable costs of climate change (according to the latest IPCC report) have been estimated from 0.2% to 2% of global income, it makes little sense to cut GDP by 3% in order to save a reduction in 2%. So apart from those green constitutencies who are convinced the sky will turn red and the clouds will start burning, the rest of the world is not going to reduce carbon emissions at any cost. That's a non-starter.

That carbon/GDP ratio can however, fall quite a bit, for example with large scale adoption of nuclear power, so it's a bit puzzling why the same same absolutist groups also oppose nuclear power. I really wish they would join us pro-nuclear types. Similarly there seems to be a lot of opposition to things like hydrogen fuel, when that's the most likely replacement for planes and heavy trucks, due to its energy density. So really if we want more efficient use of energy, we should be investing in developing better energy sources rather than trying to convince the world to "change lifestyles". Who knows, maybe in 100 years fossil fuels will be looked at in the same way as burning wood for steam is today, but it's not going to happen by changing lifestyles, it will happen with technological breakthroughs.
I don't really know what "smaller is safer" means?

The US government is massive in terms of number of people it employs, so do we mean just less taxes and to leave more to the private sector? Like private energy, water, sewage, garbage, shorelines, parks, hospitals, military, schools, etc. ?

Or do we mean overall we need less institutions with less people employed, less judges, less senators, less mayors, less military personnel, less civil servants, representatives, police, firefighters, etc. ?

For me personally, I wouldn't say "smaller is safer", I'd say that each employed individual should have restrictions on its term length and responsibility/authority and better accountability.
The process IS already mastered, depending on the bar you set?

I cancelled spotify recently when I had a guest in my car who proceeded to play all her favorite music on my account. I wanted to remove her music from my history so spotify would hopefully not recommend her music to me but there is no way to delete your history

Account deleted. I know I'm not the norm but Spotify has never done a good job for me recommending music, ever

Some more context. If I understand correctly this gas plant is need to power a desalination plant which is need to produce massive amounts of water which will be used to implement a sound suppression deluge system that is required by the FAA. Salt water will corrode everything and there isn't existing water and gas infrastructure in place to lean on. ie they have to build the stack from scratch.
did you read the article? they are building a methane refining facility. The author is speculating that it will be capable of refining gas which has been mined by fracking. that's the extent of the story...

Please cite your claim of "SpaceX is in fact building an old boring fracked well gas plant"

I once had a similar problem with a CUPS/gutenprint driver. If you are using CUPS, load the ppd from brother.

It could also have to do with the detail/complexity of your document. Intricate PDFs or high-dpi graphics can overwhelm low-midrange printers. (I once had a print job that took the printer half an hour to process.) On some printers you can even install additional RAM.
Wow I was just talking about uMoria to a workmate yesterday.
Charge sampling is nice because it effectively puts a (leaky) integrator into the measurement narrowing the band. It looks like the ST solution requires an internal mux to share the storage/sampling cap, which may be present in your micro-controller/FPGA, but isn't quite so standard. The cited patent (above) actually shows how to reuse IOs to get a pair of sensors on a pair of IOs (and a shared component cap), which is fairly efficient for charge transfer.

However, be careful of IP... I can only really recommend OpenSource implementations that read directly on out of coverage patents. There are even sigma-delta and other relatively narrow-band IO based solutions, but they may carry IP risk.
It’s the intuitive way you can draw without endlessly dialing knobs, tweak panels and so on. It’s fluent, which I feel, a lot of apps lack. I love to see more UI / UX creativity.

The individual metric that California fails badly on, coming 50th is this one:

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/rankings/opportunity

But I have no idea what it's measuring based on that blurb.

Oh, if you click it breaks it down to "affordability", "equality" and "economic opportunity" of which it does poorly on the first two.

So basically, California's main weakness is that too many rich people live there.
That depends on the implementation. If it's a simple binary tree, the worst case is O(n), not O(log n) since if you insert data in sorted order everything will always be in the left branch. O(log n) is average lookup time.

If you have a specialized tree structure like a red-black tree which will automatically balance, this will improve, but sorted input is still a viable attack method.

That said, a lot depends on the application and one should pick a hash function wisely. A binary tree–mapped hash table works best when you want to be able to iterate on keys in sort order or find an entry that's just before or just after a non-existent key in sort order. It's not really a good defense against hash attacks. On the flip side, the default hasher in Rust is hardened against hash attacks, but it's overkill for most applications and can cause severe performance degradation (although at least the library documentation is clear on this and points at alternative hash implementations for such cases). Unfortunately, the Rust resizing algorithm is flawed and won't resize until the hash capacity is completely full¹ making hash collisions much more likely. I had a doubling of performance in benchmarking some code that I was writing just by increasing the initial capacity of the map.

⸻⸻⸻

1. A common mistake I see Java developers make is, when they know they'll be inserting n items into a HashSet or HashMap is to initialize the structure with a capacity of n. This guarantees that Java will end up re-allocating the index since the default load factor in Java is 0.55 meaning that once you have 0.55×capacity elements in your collection it will resize.
There's a lot more checks and balances built into rust as a language, so the foot-gun opportunities are less likely - which makes it rather suitable for reliable systems programming.

And getting back to this particular case... kanidm is fast AND reliable. There's a lot of testing going on comparing it to 389 DS.
I listen to a LOT of different genres of music and their Discover reccomendations (not the playlists, the actual you like X artist you might like X) are absolutely brilliant. Got to be approx 50-60% hit rate.

It seems to differ wildly between people - I've heard plenty of people making the same case as you, but many that have the same as me. It never appears to be 'its ok', its either 'brilliant' or 'terrible'. I've been using Spotify for 10+ years at this point, so maybe that makes a difference?
I'm still stuck wondering if one artist I found recently had a very different style originally, or if it lumped two unrelated acts together.
BTW, there is a Firefox module in Home Manager for those who want a customizable Firefox. Like, I set my custom `about:config` flags there and every time I reinstall my system I am sure that I didn't forget that random config to enable hardware acceleration again. You can also manage extensions with it, but for this part I prefer to use Firefox Sync itself.

At least for me, this is even better than backup/restore. Generally I don't want to preserve cache or cookies between installations, I just want my config there.
They should add an incognito mode or something.

You could even do this maliciously. Send someone a Spotify link to a Steely Dan song and a Skrillex song, and now yacht rock and dubstep will follow them around until they delete their account (I'm assuming the intersection between those fan-bases is vanishingly small).
It's energetic stupidity that leads to serious problems. Passive stupidity just leads to inaction.

I guess that’s what I mean, yeah. For people that just don’t need these extensions, you could run without the GIL and then if it was required you could start using it while interacting with unsupported extensions.

I get what you’re saying, but for a lot of us, just being able to do nice multithreading for io would be a great enhancement. We have a use case when we’d like a bunch of threads to search through a large numpy structure and at the moment we have to stop to multiprocessing, which works. But is really heavy.
A country can have insufficient supply and a large number of people who do not want it.
I do. The -fno-strict-aliasing and -fwrapv are standard flags for me. They essentially fix C the language by making it behave reasonably.
Every hash table implementation I have done I use an RB tree for each bucket. This way if the bucket is loaded with hundreds or thousands of elements, you aren’t penalized too badly.
Yup and musk also argues in favor of a carbon tax. He is openly hopeful that the fundamental economics will be changed to make producing their own methane via Sabatier economical.

It is up to the controllers of incentive structures to change the fundamentals of commerce/ecology.

Yes, I write a fair bit of Rust. I'm just saying: between Python and Rust, there isn't that much of a security difference (you could nitpick things like deserialization in Python, but really the significant security win of Rust is not having memory corruption flaws, which Python has never really had.)
Really? I don't treat tech support as anywhere closer to developers than scrum masters or IT project managers.
> factor in the cost of storing solar for 24 hours and it stops looking cheaper.

Engineering research on grid-scale storage has barely begun. It's really no more than ten years old, except for pumped hydro. Before that it was just ideas and concept studies.

Already storage is cheaper than gas peaker plants for some short-run uses according to Lazard.

And there are some promising, cheap technologies for other uses (longer duration): iron-air batteries, aluminium-air batteries, latent heat and sensible heat storage (air liquefaction; hot rocks), various flow batteries.

Look at the trends, not what the costs were two years ago. Once someone starts to look into this stuff properly, the costs go down quickly.

Edit: and if the perovskite R&D comes up with the goods, we'll have dual-layer (2x output) PV panels for the same cost (or less) as single-layer Si panels.

> "How will you differentiate a call that you want to perform at compile-time vs at run-time [without constexpr]?"

right, I should have wrote "in a constexpr context", e.g. what you find in template<invocations>, etc.

> And I've been replying to that by pointing out that your run-time code can still be evaluated at compile time even if you don't use constexpr.

I don't understand what this does have to do with the rest. That's just an optimization (which is not "consistently observable" and depends on the whims of the compiler). Making a variable constepxr is something that causes consistently observable results, which is much more useful. Incidentally, I have had multiple cases where things that could obviously be computed at compile-time weren't optimized in such a way by clang or gcc unless I did

constexpr auto foo() { constexpr auto bar = some_complicated_function(...); return bar; }

instead of

constexpr auto foo() { return some_complicated_function(...); }

with constexpr, if the compiler cannot compute the thing at compile time I get an error (which is good !)

> You seem to be desiring consteval when you talk about constexpr.

what I actually desire deep down is a way to have aribtrary parametrisable contexts, something like a generalized version of http://www.jot.fm/issues/issue_2008_03/article4/ ; having two is already a good start.

> (And you still haven't addressed the fact that your unit-test example is better served by having two separate functions!)

well, because I disagree. If the name my function is e.g. strlen I definitely don't want a strlen_constexpr and strlen_nonconstexpr pair of functions, I want the good choice to be made depending on the context I'm in ; I want to write "strlen" in generic code and have the correct thing happen no matter what.

to give you my general perspective, constexpr could call itself super_bamboozle that I couldn't care less, I just want "multiple worlds" being available in my programming language. what name they take is of very little importance.
Here is an article dealing with that exact topic: https://www.stern.de/amp/gesundheit/corona--medizinische-gru...

Within ABAC schemes, Authorization is a boolean function over (Request, Principle, Environment). If you zero the Principle, you can still represent a large number of unique policies considering just the Request and the Environment.
Netflix, Youtube and reddit aren't the same medium as short lived music streaming is. Streaming music is a show lived precision game of guessing what's relevant. There is a lot of it depends scenarios, are we showing recommendations on a landing page, are we sequencing songs in a station or are we ordering results on a search page. The CX context is a big part of how you can use signals to benefit the customer.

My argument isn't an argument so much as a from real world data in this industry at a major industry competitor that customer's don't use the dislike button enough to justify it taking over your CX. Using co-occurrences of playback across a customer segment and combining that with likes or other signals is good enough.
It blows my mind that some of my Pandora stations are more than a decade old and still listened to regularly.
Almost certainly your desistance statistic comes from studies including children who didn't meet the criteria for gender dysphoria.[1]

Puberty blockers have been prescribed for early onset puberty for over 30 years. Their primary effects reverse naturally after treatment stops. Studies found they affect bone density temporarily when used for early onset puberty. And not dangerously. Trans patients tend to take them longer though. At least 1 study found their bones don't recover as quickly. It wasn't set up to prove or disprove a permanent residual effect.[2] But even during treatment the effect doesn't reach dangerous levels for most patients. And the risk is easy to mitigate with monitoring, supplements, and exercise.

The advantages of puberty blockers are avoiding various surgeries and their risks, better results in some ways, and avoiding a distressing transformation the patient isn't allowed to do anything else about. That distress breaks some people.

"After adjustment for sociodemographic factors and exposure to other types of gender-affirming care, undergoing 1 or more types of gender-affirming surgery was associated with lower past-month psychological distress (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.58; 95% CI, 0.50-0.67; P < .001), past-year smoking (aOR, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.57-0.75; P < .001), and past-year suicidal ideation (aOR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.50-0.64; P < .001)."[3]

Trans people would like better surgical options of course. You don't speak for them in calling present surgeries a disaster.

What does any of this have to do with Dave Chappelle making jokes at trans people's expense?

What's wrong with those two? These are innocent painting of naked people (also children have no sense of pudency before way after kindergarten so they just can't see the problem with this)
Yes (usually temperature drift is a bigger issue), generally there is some (moderately complex) low pass filter that maintains a relatively stable baseline and recovers gracefully (no false positive, minimal false negative) from noise/moisture/thermal and other adverse events.

One interesting case is buttons in your pocket or face down on a desk. This is made more complex when low power requirements are made (e.g. lower sampling rate). A second is breathing on a very cold device. There are guarding methods that reduce the effect of moisture, but they may also run into IP challenges.
The dislike button is if nothing else a sanity check for someone to have control if your model goes haywire. Realistically it will go haywire in a non-trivial number of cases. If every month your model goes haywire for 1% of users then you may see dislike used 1% of the time. That's tiny, right? However without it those users may leave and then next month another 1% will be hit and so on. Users remember the bad things a lot more than the good things so they will remember your AI f-ups and the lack of a way to fix it.

The problem with data driven UX is that the data is often short term (ab tests are expensive) and doesn't cover long term complex user impact.

Edit: For example, I’ve seen a lot of Etsy users complain about their front page being filled with NSFW recommendations and no way to get rid of them. I doubt they’ll be using Etsy much in the future.

I looked for that when Play Music got shuttered but could not find a satisfactory solution. I even paid for one iOS app but it wanted access to my entire drive, and maybe some other unnecessary permissions.. so hell no. I should be able pick one folder and that's it.
