In your example, if you leave out the parentheses around w := bar(), you get "SyntaxError: cannot use assignment expressions with operator" which makes me think it's a bug in the interpreter and not intentionally designed to allow it.

I am baffled to learn that it's kept in scope outside of the statement it's assigned, and I agree it would have a negative impact on readability if used outside of the if statement.
Hey, saw some posts of yours about Urbit. Someone very close to me is getting sucked in and I'm worried, Partially because I don't understand it. Could we please get in touch so I can learn about this? It's very scary and this person has been saying a lot of strange offputting things for some time. They went to the urbit conference that just happened. Now that I'm looking into Urbit and its ideology as well as Yarvin's I see what's going on. I'm familiar with Yarvin and Land as well as Land's serious philosophical predecessors for a long time, but the technological side escapes me. Please let me know if you can help me with this, and if so how we can get in contact.
Dang, this looks amazing! It's like someone took org-roam and org-mode and made them into a fast, slick, electron app.

> Norway mostly generate electricity from renewable sources, some 99% of our annual production (~120TWh, if memory serves) is hydro-electric.

Wind accounted for 6.4% (9.9 TWh) of electric production in Norway in 2020. Total production in Norway in 2020 was 154.2 TWh.

Have a gander at "23 Of The Most Fucked-Up Things People Have Done On Rollercoaster Tycoon" ( https://www.buzzfeed.com/michellerennex/yall-evil-af ) #10 is particularly "amusing"(?): "I built a huge rollercoaster that would launch the people into my rival's park, increasing their death rate. People didn't want to go to that park because so many people were dying, so they would come over to mine, and go and die in my rival's park." A cornucopia of such postings come up in a casual search.

While I'm not defending the news article (none us can know what really happened) nor do I believe games trigger violent behavior (as an avid gamer, I have ample anecdotal data against it), players can indeed be antisocial (not asocial, antisocial) in games that are not explicitly intended to have violence or other antisocial behavior as part of the gameplay.
Interesting idea but the search matches aren't great.

Also the UI is not easy to scan, the list view of search results has been standardized for decades now for a reason.

1) Electricity could replace most carbon usage, the amount generated now from carbon is almost besides the point.

"So it's including vehicles. You could be 100% nuclear power generation and that part wouldn't change."

? We're going to electric cars. Cars currently run on fossil fuels because it was cheap and convenient, that will change.

2) We have at least mid-term storage and there are plenty of options on the table for long-term we just have to make up our minds.

3) The 'failure modes' are not that bad - nobody died in Fukishima - and - we can limit them. Neither Fukishima nor Chernobyl plants should have ever been running.

At this point, the only thing stopping us is ourselves.

To the extend we are organized and competent we can do it just as well.

People have done studies on other primates and found they mirror the same gender toy preferences that we see with humans.

http://www.yerkes.emory.edu/about/news/developmental_cogniti...

I don't understand why people totally discount evolutionary biology. Eons ago our ancient primates ancestors were eaten by snakes. Today we are still hard wired to fear them.

Likewise long ago women who didn't have the disposition to care for children had fewer children survive. Thus women are evolutionary tuned for the traits needed for caring of children.
The thing is there are hundreds of negative and positive feedbacks, and they’re all modeled by people whose job is to think of these things. You are not going to think of something novel unless you are an expert in a related field. Your curiosity is not a bad thing. As a climatologist I’ve heard so many versions of “climate models don’t account for X” where X has been modeled since the 1980s that it just kind of triggers me.

The error bars of the IPCC report are our best guess on what we think we know about uncertainty. Sure, we could end up outside of it, on some heretofore unknown feedback, but it’s like betting our collective future on a longshot horse. The same applies to the assuming it will be much worse.
DuckDuckGo is often a superior search engine to alternatives, certainly less human bias, but their name does not help them. Who says "DuckDuckGo it?" They need to shorten the name considerably, either to Duck, or pick a different one entirely.

So if CLemons approved a portrait of herself as black, but the mural showed her as white, then the artist changed it. But the change must have been approved, if not instigated, by whoever hired the artist. And after the mural was completed, it must have been reviewed and then approved again.
So this means that numerous people, including the artist and city officials, must have been in the loop. Talk about entrenched racism!

First, it doesn't seem like a small number or rare phenomenon to me, and I'm far from the only person who's made this connection. [0] If you've got some numbers to quantify your claim that Congress is "full of" dedicated, dutiful, lifelong civil servants, I'll be happy to see that.

But, second, it doesn't take a majority to make that motivation a characterizing element of the job. Maybe some people are motivated by love of country or whatever to go earn $35,000 as a college graduate. But it doesn't mean that access to exclusive opportunity is not the well understood perk of the job, whether or not you avail yourself of it.

Of all the strange stands to make in favor of radical pay transparency... I personal would think that having to defend the honor of Congressional staffers would be a strong indication that the plot has been lost.

We're continuously being told that we need different people to come up with different ideas. Then the same people are unimpressed that people with unconventional ideas are unconventional. SMH.
Did you ask them why they've switched jobs?

I've been asked that a couple of times and I guess the answers have been satisfactory enough because I've gotten an offer afterwards.

As an interviewer, I've only encountered a couple of incidents where change frequency was enough to concern us. I directly asked both about that. One, I was satisfied with the answers, and he turned out to be a great dev and stuck with us to the bitter end. The other, his answers were "meh" enough that warranted more digging. Sure enough, we discovered there were other positions that were not included in his resume. We passed on him.

> No one wants to try nuclear for reals because people are frightened of it and world governments don't have an economic interest in building more nuclear

Well it's also worth noting that it's become like that because of the oil lobby's decades of scaremongering and the oversupply of natural gas which makes those plants the most profitable choice.

But still it's mostly a NIMBY problem. If smaller, mass produced, gen 4 reactors could be set up in some uninhabited areas we'd basically solve all that.
16” 2019 MacBook Pro with an i7 processor and 16GB ram.

I do much of my work using iTerm2, Sublime text, CLion, and IntelliJ, with a little bit of Xcode depending on the project. I also write a lot of documents. I usually start in Sublime and then move over to a collaborative GUI editor that’s used throughout my company.

I love MacOS.

Two other programs I used extensively are Omnigraffle for designs and diagrams and Omnifocus for outlining deliverables.

I use a 120hz 1440P display and a mechanical keyboard. No complaints about my work setup at all.
It sounds like freenet to me. How will this allow for governments to censor CSAM?
Emacs is fantastic for Yak Shaving. You can spend hours or days tweaking and modifying its configuration files if you're not careful.

My advice for those seeking to get into Emacs: start from scratch. Learn how to split your custom.el from your init.el, and make sure you're using git to manage those files. Then start slowly and install org-mode from source and go from there:

8 │ ;; Save customizations in a different file. Prevents this file being
9 │ ;; modified by Emacs.
10 │ ;;; Code:
11 │ (setq custom-file (expand-file-name "custom.el" user-emacs-directory))
12 │ (when (file-exists-p custom-file)
13 │ (load custom-file))
14 │
15 │ ;; Before anything else, orgmode:
16 │ (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.orgsrc/org-9.4/lisp")
17 │ (require 'org-loaddefs)
18 │
19 │ ;; First off, we need MELPA and the org-mode repo:
20 │ (require 'package)
21 │ (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
22 │ (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
23 │ (package-initialize)

Hydro is great, but limited.

IMO, most industrialized nations have already tapped hydro about as much as it can be tapped, given some constraints about wildlife habitat. But I'd be happy to be corrected -- what new hydro projects do you think we should be doing, and how much power do you think they'd provide?
I can easily say that my life was changed by the reference librarian at the public library branch near my home in Camp Springs Maryland. She was the first person I had met in my young life who seemed to actively enjoy finding out new things like I did and I could never bring a topic to her where she could not overload me with material to check out and take home and read or listen too. She even arranged to have a NASA training film on robotics screened in their multipurpose room because at that time I seriously felt that being an astronaut was my dream job and I was looking for information on what I could study/learn/do to become an astronaut.

The internet is great and all, but nothing beats talking with a librarian for finding solid information on a subject.
Not worth asking. It's part of a bizarre theory that Big Media is not only a single cabal, but that cabal is constantly whiteboarding attacks on the tech companies that have bought large pieces of it.

I think it's for two reasons: 1) it's scarier to think that Big Media and Big Tech are getting along swimmingly despite a few minor conflicts and necessary keyfabe for the plebs, and 2) people who do horrible things for money in Big Tech want to feel better about themselves, and want people to think well of them (not like they think of people who worked at AIG, Arthur Andersen, or Countrywide.)
I would be very worried if the machines actually executing orders today were anywhere close to 100% load on average, because of the well-known issue where tail latency explodes as you get closer to 100% load. So I doubt the relevance of everything you wrote there.

Batched auctions require different algorithms, sure. They may even be more expensive to execute. I suppose you have to sort the batch once instead of sorting as you go. Maybe that makes it O(n log n) instead of O(n)? Can you keep a traditional order book up-to-date in O(1) per transaction? Either way, seems like this should be a non-issue. Even if exchanges need to add more shards for order processing, that's just not a big deal.

What I am missing most in Obsidian is this: It does not show the date created of the document. I need to hover over a note to see that info.

This is such a basic and super important info, I am wondering why it‘s neglected so much.

Every note taking app always shows the creation and/or modification date: Evernote, Bear, Ulysses, and every other app I know.

Also the aesthetics is not on par with Bear or Ulysses.

Finally, I tried to import my Roam Research notes into it. Ended up with thousands of empty pages that were just tags in Roam.

By the way: Obsidian users aggressively try to convince users of other tools how superior it is, on Reddit forums for various note taking apps and even on twitter. Haven’t seen this behaviour, even from vim or Emacs lovers.
There are shared databases of drivers licenses across states, so you're going to have a hard time getting a new license without handing in your old one from your previous state.

Some databases also include Canadian provinces.
Of course wind and solar compete with nuclear. At large penetration, wind and solar make the grid unfriendly to nuclear, as the price drops too often for a nuclear power plant to be economical. Both renewables and nuclear are inflexible, and are competing for the ability of the grid to deal with inflexible sources.

If you look at model solutions to a renewable/storage/nuclear grid, the solutions tend to flip from "mostly nuclear" to "mostly renewable" with little overlap, depending on cost assumptions.
There is no such thing as probability. All there is is possible and not possible.

I don't know how the point of the comment could be missed, but what I am saying is, it is a mistake, a rookie baby not-a-programmer not even any kind of engineer in any field, to even think in those sorts of terms at all. At least not in the platonic ideal worlds of math or code or protocol or systems design or legal documents, etc.

Physical events have probability that is unavoidable. How fast does the gas burn? "Probably this fast"

There is no excuse for any coder to even utter the word "likely".

The ONLY answers to "Is this operation atomic?" or "Is this function correct?" or "Does this cpu perform division correctly?" Is either yes or no. There is no freaking "Most of the time."

"Likely" only exists in the realm of user data and where it is explicitly created as part of an algorythm.
The point is that Google used their search dominance to push YouTube. Then their YouTube dominance to say "this site works better in Chrome" to push Chrome. Then their Chrome and Search Dominance to push AMP.

It's not that Google should be punished. It's that they should be stopped from using one product line to prop up another.
>I encourage you to read the details of the news, in particular how the data was collected with full consent from all (something that most research datasets don’t do well).

I don't care to hear about the consent you received for this controlled study. I care to hear about how I/we can opt-out from something like this when it is eventually deployed in the wild en masse as part of an actual product. I'm pretty sure that's what OP was also asking about. Can you elaborate on that?
It is little counterintuitive but countries with more gender inequality have more women in STEM.

In developing countries where more preferential treatment is given to males having a STEM degree give lot of power to women.

I don’t understand why can’t the society accept that men love machines/code. Most of the women do not enjoy this stuff(which is fine).

What are you ranking sites based on?

> it's a difference between blindly modeling storage for all generated power so that it never goes to waste

No, that's Zerrahn's take on Sinn's paper, but you should not take it for granted. And the cheap shot about the «Non-robustness» of Sinn's paper should serve as a warning that Zerrahn is not really giving Sinn's paper a fair treatment.

> But...that's what Zerrahn did? It's mentioned in the paper that they replicated Sinn's findings with their own data as a validation that they're calculating with comparable data.

Yes, and now I want to re-use the same dataset, but with a proper time-based methodology so I can find a specific time period for which Zerrahn's-level of storage would lead to a network collapse (Like I did for the French data above).

Great! How do I make sure that nothing about me ever passes through a Facebook server/ETL job/datalake/neural net/whatever? Can that even be guaranteed? Is Facebook generating a shadow profile on me or using data I've generated either myself or through friends that have taken pictures/videos/etc of me, and if maybe, how do I opt out?

Facebook just released Ray Ban smart glasses that don't look any different from standard Ray Bans and don't provide a solid design affordance to communicate to others when they're active, so I don't really get the feeling that Facebook cares at all about who is being swept up in their systems.

No, I'm pretty sure that's intentional. You want the left-hand side of an assignment to be crystal clear, which "foo() or w := bar()" is not. It looks like it's assigning to (foo() or w).
