There are some pretty fun conspiracy theories about the Dark Ages.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_time_hypothesis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_chronology_(Fomenko)

A variant, or generalization, of the Phantom time hypothesis (to be clear, a conspiracy theory with no basis in fact) is that the reason 'so little' happened during the Dark Ages is that they didn't actually exist. That is, some number of centuries between the 5th and 14th were added to the calendar, but didn't actually happen.
Just because something is made by the same manufacturer at the same location, doesn't mean that the manufacturer used the same inputs/recipes in everything it produces. It can easily have different lines that use different quality levels of input at different price points.
I am learning a lot today, so I feel I should thank you.

The link you provided lists Allegiant Air as one of the other airlines that flies to/from FL ( and uses the same system ), but there is no report same issues as SW has/had.

For the record, I don't really care one way or another, but I am not that big on taking executives word at face value; even outgoing ones.
I totally get it from the sense of avoiding monopolies for sure.

In my view, I was lumping internal/public interfaces in the same basket. I haven’t really considered public vs internal aspect of this.
Talking to the rest of the team is a good advice. Traveling the hierarchy up and then down expecting for permission is not.

Managers don't have a clue on what you are set up to learn. That's not their job. If you have an environment problem, anybody more than 1 level up from you will at best ignore it.

There's also adjacent stacks... like being able to build your own computer out of crabs and rocks if you get stranded on a desert island. So that you can get them to write SOS in the sand and play pong while you wait.
Interesting, it does look different on Firefox (vs Chrome-based browsers).
Indeed, the author of that comment seems to be confusing OSSv4 with Cameron Grant's newpcm, which was a separate thing. It was developed around the same time as ALSA but didn't have a new userspace API like ALSA and OSSv4 did.
Unfortunately we do stack ranking so it wouldn’t be fair to anyone else on the team. He also refuses to say anything in 1:1s with regular nudging.

About a month back I decided it's long past due for me to try a tiling window manager. I've been rocking a DIY edition running Manjaro Sway community edition. There's been a learning curve coming from ChromeOS but I'm ecstatic. It feels like the first time I've had hardware and software tailored towards the priorities I have for a computer.

The only thing I haven't gotten sorted is Bluetooth. I got it working once but it didn't survive a reboot. Others have figured it out, so I'm hopeful that I will too.

Love seeing a reasonably priced replacement battery here in the marketplace. I may buy one now just to throw in the backpack. Swapping it out looks like it'd be a ~3 minute job.
Huh just don't watch the show then? Netflix should not budge here. Sick and tired of this cancel culture.
most often though the thing they're hiding is watching movies and shows they couldn't get in their country otherwise.

1) There is no Biden order yet. The only reason plenty of governors and their respective AGs haven't sued yet is because they can't until OSHA does something.

2) IBM is a huge government contractor that is covered in the EO. Honestly, any business of size is going to have government contracting work that will put them into this - that is when it actually takes affect which it mostly certainly has not and that is assuming the feds aren't sued which they most certainly will be once it does go into affect.

Batteries are a bit of a red herring. The combination of pumped storage plants, overgeneration, and demand response already has you covered for at least two decades even in Germany. The minimal cost solution calculated for Germany assumes 1.6 GWh of storage for your 1000 MW nuclear equivalent for a 60% RE penetration scenario, only some of which needs to be batteries (Germany is currently at ~45% or so, many other countries are considerably behind). At the expense of extra costs, lower storage could be compensated for by higher overgeneration (= by not consuming all the power you produce).

However, this was all calculated for current grid conditions. Spread of BEVs would likely put dedicated grid storage needs lower, since in Germany, for each of your 1000 MW nuclear equivalents, there's 700k cars which already have ~600 MWh of storage capacity even just in form of lead-acid batteries, and even replacing just 10% of these cars with 40 kWh BEVs would give you a whopping 2.8 GWh of capacity per your 1000 MW nuclear equivalent, necessitating higher overgeneration to provide the vehicles with motive energy and lowering grid storage capacity because of demand response ("smart charging"). For reference, a 100% replacement of ICE cars with BEVs in Germany would require a ~25% increase in average power generation - by around 250 MW of average power per your 1000 MW nuclear equivalent.

Electrolytic hydrogen production would do exactly the same thing to grid storage - require more generators, and with demand response, lower grid storage capacity. Just replacing German ammonia with "green" ammonia using electrolysis would necessitate another 60 MW of average power generation per your 1000 MW equivalent that could be subject to demand response.
I think fonts can make a difference where readability or accessibility is important. One example of a bad font choice in the UK is on the signs placed on roads after fatal accidents which ask witnesses to provide information. The contact number is written in a font that looks like a seven-segment display and that is virtually unreadable when you are driving past. The designer must have thought it looked good but it is unreadable.

The devious fossil fuel propaganda we all use
to me, it seems like bezos did exactly the right thing. he got the champagne out the way, then listened to what shatner had to say. and then, when shatner got overwhelmed by emotions, bezos took off his sunglasses and hugged shatner, which was a really touching moment. it's really hard to listen to someone monologuing and not interrupt or distract them, probably more so if you're like bezos and used to being the centre of attention, but he does it and let's shatner have his say. good for both of them!
Car Companies–Including Porsche, GM and Toyota–Have Big 5G Plans
Agreed, thinking through this thread is tedious because you avoid convergence and add tangential topics. The BLS report claims teachers don't work more than 40 hour weeks (chart 2) which doesn't jive with the Gates claims. Therefor the BLS must think that teachers have their work completed within 40 hours a week, which is a culturally accepted number of hours in a work week, even if a salaried employee does not have a min or max number of hours unlike an pilot who has agreed to be paid by flight hour. willcipriano's baseline is two weeks different than the BLS's. That doesn't change the math much (4%), within the natural variability of salaries.

Managing burnout on your engineering team
Well you switch to a different linq query as your heuristic changes.

This isn't a linq vs SQL debate. I'm pointing out that linq allows explicit ordering, and if you know the shape of your data, you can account for changes in it.

As with most coding, right tool for the job, YMMV for SQL or linq.
I'm not sure that electrified roads would really be all that expensive relative to the benefits. I mean, if you only add electrification to a two mile segment every twenty miles on a few major interstate highways, it means that long haul trucking that uses those highways can be fully electric. That seems like a pretty big deal.

If all the major roads and highways are electrified for 100% of their distance (like we would have had to have done in order to switch to electric, say, back in the 70's during the oil crisis when lead acid was the best battery tech available), that would be far more expensive and probably not worth it.

Driving less, more workplace charging, more mass-transit, and electric rail are all good. It'd be great to see electric shipping too, but I'm not sure how to get there; you'd need multiple charging stations in the middle of major oceans or something.
we are all born into a system that limits what we can do

try surviving in the u.s without a car (gasoline) or shopping at a supermarket where everything is packaged in plastics

we don't have much choice in where our electricity comes from, nor what companies choose to package things in... what individuals can do is tiny compared to those in industry and billions if not trillions of capital to invest and research in better more sustainable methods and materials

also, corporations are in competition with each other which also limits how much profits they can give up pursuing said goals...

our entire system make dealing with this externality incredibly difficult
Do you often give opinions about things that you have no first hand experience with?
The causal incrementality of ad spend is rarely negative. You expect to see decreasing returns with additional ad spend. For each dollar in ad spend, one advertiser might want to see $3 in revenue, another $5. Incrementality studies then allow advertisers to tune spend to their operating points.

Facebook does like money. Do you think lying to the biggest advertisers in the world is the best long-term strategy, or do you think instead it might be better to report out the most accurate results possible?
You think you are going to get "more" or cheaper energy via wind? You know how well this worked out in California? The governor ended up having to turn back on some LNG plants he turned off because "renewables" (energy harvesting equipment made by slave labor in Africa and political dissidents in China) wasn't enough.

Now California in all of its collective wisdom wants to turn everything electric: cars, mowers, stoves - think about how that will affect the energy situation.

California is the shiny example of the shit show that is "renewable energy". Go read a book and learn not to walk down this path.

I gotta wonder how long these people's backlog is.

I do the thing until it is good enough (which sometimes is less done than initially requested) and then move on to another thing from the pile if I have time. Or I will answer support questions, or review pending pull requests.

"Extra" sounds a bit like "gold plating".

This is set to be even bigger than the 2007 WGA strike, which was ~12k people for 100 days. WGA had some precedent-setting wins with that, hopefully the same will happen with IATSE.

You are a mercenary.

* Loyalty does not exist (company, coworkers, etc)
* You dictate pay for the work you do (or leave the job)
* You dictate your own hours (overtime is your own choice not company's)
* Strive to always provide maximum value (efficiency not time spent)
* Focus on keeping a core set of skills sharp
* Quit if conditions are untenable

When a person does the above, they start focusing on how to provide value instead of "doing a job". A person can be a phenomenal engineer and yet have a poor career because they never figured out how to be a valuable engineer.
The logo is also very on point for a place like this.
Now what happens when quality and design aren't a priority? Cleaning products, adapters, chargers, widgets like a cutlery tray or kitchen scrubber... not every product can't be knocked off.

Maybe you're going to tell me everything in your home is of the highest quality, but trust me that isn't how the vast majority do their purchasing.

This one was probably affected by the Peak marketing campaign, but when it happens hundreds of times,it's not Verge news any more, it's just life. See: how so many T shirt and hoodie designs in mass market stores are ripped off indie artists.
Yeah imagine getting a dopamine from checking emails. It's designed to be checked occasionally, atleast most web apps are. We need more of that. Once a day feed from Facebook. Scroll limit on YouTube.
Probably worst time in recent history to stage such a strike. I can't even _see_ the "stage workers" except through fogged up glasses while wearing a face diaper. This would be a lot more effective if their corporate overlords were making a ton of money like before.
Coal is being phased out until 2038 if not earlier.

The future is neither coal, nor nuclear.
Did this factor into you leaving big G?
Could you elaborate, im interested in understanding your perspective but couldn’t follow it.
In my mind , uptick in coal usage was directly caused by a decrease in wind power production. I understand that if Germany had chosen nuclear over wind, that decline would not happen and thus the usage of coal would not increase. Is that not true ?
Right. Paul was the one who wrote about how gentiles were grafted into the family with the Jews. The Jews don’t believe that Jesus is the messiah, and I don’t even think they consider Him a prophet either. So they probably don’t have an opinion on it, not to mention they don’t follow the New Testament

You are correct on all points. I know the Fed sets the targets and can't always get what they want, but effectively in recent past they have set the general direction of these rates. I was trying to oversimplify.

What's so bad in having to know two languages for developing drivers? Especially when knowing the second one will rid you of all memory safety bugs just because your code compiles.

And to call Rust's build system is laughable. Issuing `cargo build` could not be simpler (and it includes automatic downloading of dependencies, too).
You might be on to something. It seems almost like they invite it.

"Never let a good controversy go to waste."
Not unless I'm getting paid or recognised in some other way for going extra mile.

More often than not no one (bug some rare customer probably) gives a damn about you going extra mile. Often it is actually punished, not directly but I've had plenty of examples when people instead of doing extra ventured into doing some fun shit for other teams and uh-oh, cross-team impact, here's your promotion while your actual team is struggling to get right the boring but actually money bringing stuff.

So no, money first please.
It's been done. In one of his books Feynman describes how the scientists on the Manhattan project would "estimate" their results as what they had accomplished in the prior quarter. It's a bit messy to get it started, but once you've got a cadence you can always maintain that three months of buffer.

Edit: Now I'm thinking about what kind of tooling I'd want to make the process seamless.
I forgot to do something and basically ended my Google Advertising spend. I haven't missed it in the least. I don't know if I would have done better without it, but an increasing number of people still find my website and phone number even though they are no longer clicking on the ad that Google provided when they searched my exact company name, costing me the majority of my ad spend.
Why would that be the case? Shutting down nuclear plants doesn't increase the production capacity from renewables. For a given renewable production capacity, there's a fixed amount that has to be made up from non-renewable sources; since coal is pretty clearly the worst of those, you use things other than coal -- anything other than coal -- first, and kill off coal as fast as possible.

If you have a way to increase the renewable capacity to make up for a decrease in nuclear production, why not do that anyway, and shut down more coal production instead of nuclear?
Nope I’m in Dallas. I did try remote work in Breckenridge (CO) a few months ago for the first time, but it was kinda depressing seeing the beautiful scenery but being trapped to the desk. The summer resort stuff all shuts down at 4pm too :-/
> most often though the thing they're hiding is watching movies and shows they couldn't get in their country otherwise.

Sure, but the .0001% of users who use grindr while trying to hide their preferences, and hold a position of influence in government or a corporation make the whole effort worthwhile.

As a bonus, the op is actually profitable because the 99.9999% of people you don't care about, and don't have to spend man-hours on, are actually paying for all the man-hours that you spend on the people of interest!

Ah, no, I don't want to take my kids to the local park for days on and on. That's boring. You wrote about "driving through 55 countries", etc, and I'm thinking that if I was doing that with children, I would need to arrange a lot of time alone for myself to stay moderately sane. How to approach that?

Of course an M0 on a modern process node would be much smaller but I’d interpreted (probably wrongly) the OP as going further and saying that the M0 would be smaller on a comparable node. With 12k or so gates on an M0 that doesn’t seem possible although maybe modern power management would make it more power efficient.

I do. I think that we, as individual consumers and as free persons in a functional society, need to start drawing lines and pushing back on all retailers, Amazon included but not exclusively. That means picking our buying habits better and that means pushing back with laws and regulations that prevent or penalize abuse.

There are two things that have hindered those efforts: )1the race to the bottom is very fast, so by the time one retailer has had abuses exposed every retailer is doing it. 2) Enforcement efforts have been neutered, to the point where the fines are just cost of doing business - and that has it's own complicated history of abuse.
Oh, I didn't see that bit. Ugh :(
