Heating in the EU is mostly oil and gas. It needs electricity to run, but not enough that electricity prices are a major issue.

In the end the question is how fast the market reacts. Plant shut downs are predictable events years into the future, and in the event of an impeding black out energy prices on the spot market are going to be insane. That seems like a great incentive to build anything you can get past Nimbys fast enough. And the biggest industrial consumers shut down anyways as electricity prices rise (bad for the economy, great for the grid).

it might be helpful to reflect on thr lifecycles of software development. Pioneers, settlers, & town planners comes to mind as a useful model, of the changing approaches as software established itself over time.

i'm really really warmed to hear that you were able to put yourself in the shoes of those who came before, those who were charged with building something out of nothing. most of us join fairly established entities, and we do not see the drive-to-make through the strong, powerful point of view of those trying to get create, those trying to get started.

when Alan Kay &all talk about personal computing, to me, it is much more a domain of will & creation & whimsy than the controlled, regularized, predictable processes we aim for when we professionals are building & elaborating our paid, industrial computing work.
No. Typescript is really strict about being only type annotations for JavaScript (except `enum`), so I'm not sure why you'd think that makes them control JavaScript.
You're being downvoted, but I think there is some truth to what you are saying:

1. Humans have shown time and again that they simply aren't capable of the global wide self-sacrifice that would be required now to prevent the worst effects of climate change. Just look at a chart for global greenhouse gas emissions over time. The only time you even see a slight reduction is when there is a massive global recession or pandemic. We basically need about "2 or 3 pandemics-worth" of reductions annually to hit our goals. This just isn't going to happen.

2. That said, I think it will be possible to transition over to primarily renewables, but the main driver for this will be economic (solar and batteries are continuing to plummet in price). It will just take a long time (or, at least, longer than we really have) before this increase in renewables really starts to dent CO2 emissions. Thus, I think maintaining a focus on emissions is a good thing, because it will still help that transition to renewables happen faster.

3. Your second sentence is absolutely true though. I think at least a 3 meter sea level rise by 2100 is pretty unavoidable by now, and that will have a massive impact on coastal cities. Significant impacts from climate change are unavoidable at this point, so we should start planning for this.
This is what I'm saying. If there's a financial incentive to store popular content, or a higher incentive to host "at-risk" content this would work out, no?

I have no idea how hard this would be to implement. I'm new to ipfs and crypto.
Basically with ipfs you try to download some content by referring to it by a hash. This means that the content will be available forever - as long as there is someone willing to cache that content. Which is, obviously, something that won't always happen. But it _can_ theoretically happen, so people with a cache of some old web page may revive it, even after the original site is gone.

Did they, though? I never noticed a lack of availability of torrents and NZBs for movies and TV shows.

Oh, I get it. They're using the same zero-sum definition of "drop" that they used when calculating profits. With a convenient and well-priced legal streaming option, new consumers are less likely to seek out pirate copies. (This is true.) If you count every subscription as a "lost" pirate copy then you can describe pirating as having "fallen" from this hypothetical maximum level to the current real rate of piracy. You don't have to even bother looking at the actual rate of piracy, which may have grown over the same period. That's the kind of math they use to count how much money is "lost" to piracy; assume every downloaded movie would have been paid for if piracy didn't exist. So of course the same formula would apply to describing how valuable their platform is.

(edit: but I almost forgot - it would be mindblowing if it turned out the Earth was somehow tuned to bring itself back to some average.

Right, because the lowest supported frequency is supposed to be the most energy efficient frequency, Feff, at least on Intel chips. I.e. it is the minimum in the joules/work chart.

After all, there's no point
running at a lower frequency: those frequencies are always dominated regardless of your time/energy preference, so Intel claims to set Fmin to Feff.

So lowest freq is a good proxy for "I only care about efficiency".

That said, powersave is a bit ambiguous: it's a policy in more than one driver. For example, intel_pstate, the default recommended driver for Intel chips, has powersave and performance governors too, and there powersave is much more sophisticated and can run at high frequencies.

> all value propositions necessarily either are directly or rest upon subjective preference

You haven't shown this, so you're just sneaking in the premise that ethics has no objective foundation, which is the very question under consideration. I could just as easily baldly assert "all value propositions necessarily either are directly or rest upon objective foundations," but I'm not because it would be philosophically uninteresting.

I accept that there are no valid ethical premises is a valid conclusion from the absence of an objective ethical authority. I can only abductively conclude the existence of such an authority because it appears to me that ethics is not in fact a degenerate science that can produce any result whatsoever.
The walrus operator is a tired old trope to hate on, but I dont see the point personally. Same goes for the structural pattern matching thing. The tacking on of typing features feels superfluous in a language thats not compiled or even strongly typed.

But for the sake of maximum pendatry let me paste some nitpicky little detail from a somewhat recent syntactic addition:

>>> def f(a, b, /, **kwargs):
... print(a, b, kwargs)
...
>>> f(10, 20, a=1, b=2, c=3)
10 20 {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

a and b are used in two ways.

Since the parameters to the left of / are not exposed as possible keywords, the parameters names remain available for use in **kwargs

Jesus fucking hell on a tricylce so now i have *'s and /'s showing up in function signatures so someone can prematurely optimize the re-use of variable names without breaking backwards comparability?!

Vectorisation is not a clear win, and so doesn’t belong in O2. Certainly it can deliver massive improvements in some cases (as loop unrolling could in Pentium III days), yet can cause significant binary size increases (think icache costs) and makes loops with small iteration counts potentially much slower.

If for some reason you want O2 but with vectorisation you can enable it, and if you want O3 without inlining or loop unrolling (the same thing), you’re welcome to specify that.

That's exactly what you are doing. To be honest, I can't tell if you're serious because all you are doing is making statements and then just linking to pages without citing any particular fact.

> If you have a genuine curiosity about the subject and you're interested in getting up to speed on the topic, you may start by reading up on this as well.

If you had a point to make, it wouldn't take someone reading a whole page to compare what is essentially two arguments around quantitative figures. You'd be able to state a counterargument with some form of rationale. Just linking to a page and telling me to "get started" by "reading up" doesn't cut it. This is a discussion forum, and it's really not polite to just tell people they are wrong and not explain why. Nobody has time to read an entire encyclopedia entry to figure out why you are right and everyone else is wrong.
In a way I see experiences as a distraction, escapism, something that helps to postpone the search for meaning.

Been there. Basically, ignoring twitter and press pretty much works. If you have a working customer service mechanism, you need to be ready to respond there with a brief note of something like 'this use is not supported by us, bye', and once you have that note, you might consider responding to press with that.

You might want to engage with 3rd party developers, but it's clear that it would quickly become much more work than supporting in-house clients. When the server team unintentionally breaks an in-house client, they don't start a big distracting PR war about it; and when an in-house client unintentionally breaks the server, there's leverage to fix the client (or the server) and insight into how the fixed client deployment is going.

It can also be difficult to fix sensitive or just complex issues in a coordinated way when there's unequal access as happens with in-house and 3rd party development. Being non-transparent is easier; although certainly less desirable to many.

If you have a compelling product, people often don't follow through on their plans to drop it.
> It's like with cars vs. airplanes. Most people learned to live with the comparatively high risk of driving a car, yet often have a (silent) fear of flying Boeing/Airbus even though they are much safer.

I don't feel this is a serious comparison, let alone conveys the tradeoffs that need to be considered.

The risk on the table is pretty much the NIMBY rationale: if you're arguing about risks and given that it's unthinkable to presume that there is zero chance of experiencing problems on any type of power plant, do you prefer to deal with a technology whose failure mode does not have any significant impact or do you wish to deal with a technology whose failure modes involve the need to create and manage exclusion zones with a radius of dozens of km which persist for decades on end? This is particularly relevant as we consider that the bulk of energy demands come from densely occupied urban regions.

And regarding safety, this sort of risk assessment stats used to push Nuclear as a safe alternative fails to take into account the strategic importance of a power plant and how they are automatically targets in any national security scenario. Thus extrapolating peace time statistics, which are already quite bad, also fails to adequately classify the full risks of relying on nuclear.

Disagree: the recent changes are things I put to work immediately and in a large fraction of the code. They're not niche and "should have" been added years ago. If anything, I'm thrilled with the work of the "committee," whose judgments are better than the result of any individual. Postgres is the same.

Gone are the days when you invest in a platform like python, and they make crazy decisions that kill the platform's future (e.g. perl5). Ignore small syntax stuff like := and focus on the big stuff.
In your formula, where do you envision the number of incidents being derived from?

China excels at hiding important information from public view, so I would take their data, and data indirectly sourced from them, with a grain of salt. And oh, by the way, one could say the same about the nuclear industry and its captured regulatory bodies in general as well.
I wouldn't say it's foresight, more like recognizing a trend.

By 2006 I worked as an intern in a company that made rich web based apps, basically a competitor to Google Spreadsheets if you will. There were numerous startups doing similar stuff. It was basically a mainstream thing.

At the time I remember a bunch of people mocking up desktop environments inside a browser -- not necessarily useful but it was one of the fun things to do with the capabilities of the browser. AJAX was the cool tech that everybody wanted to use.

I don't think anyone at the time could have foreseen that Javascript would become the sophisticated mess with new frameworks displacing the existing ones every other year, but browser-side programming displacing traditional UI toolkits was well on the way by then.
What about setting a simple boolean flag, e.g. setting "cancelled = True" in the UI thread to cancel an operation in a background thread?

In Java you would have to worry about safe publication to make the change visible to the other thread, but thanks to the GIL changes in Python are always (I think?) made visible to other threads.

Losing the GIL strictly makes the language strictly more flexible. Previous GILectomies tanked performance to an unacceptable degree. In single-threaded code, this one is a moderate performance improvement in some benchmarks, and a small detriment in others -- which is about as close to perfect as one could expect from such a change. That's why people are excited about it.

At a higher level, Python is getting serious about performance. But this gives both flexibility and performance.

My IPFS pin was just one or two of my servers running an IPFS daemon. Since that daemon was running on Oracle's free VPS's, the answer is probably "a small fraction of what it costs for Oracle to have you in their database".

Paying for pinning sounds like something that could work but it would introduce some of the same problems that the real web suffers from back into IPFS. The idea "a web for the people, by the people" becomes problematic when you start paying people to make your content more accessible.
We are building plenty of dykes. But every additional centimetre of sea level rise we cause is at least one more centimetre of dyke we have to maintain along all shores, indefinitely. And on top of that all the additional defences against intense rainfall in cities and along all major rivers. From a purely monetary standpoint it's hard to find an investment that pays greater dividends for a society over the decades and centuries than one that reduces climate change
Regarding unrolling, -O3 contains -funroll-and-jam but not -funroll-loops. You may want one or the other, maybe both, depending on circumstances. I don't see much benefit from the available pragmas on HPC-type code unless for OpenMP, and "omp simd" isn't necessary to get vectorization in the places I've seen people say it is. Mileage always varies somewhat, of course. (Before second-guessing anything, use -fopt-info.)
Interesting; the wikipedia article describes "parasocial interaction" as a relationship that is inherently one-way, as with an entertainer or celebrity, which the other party perceives as building rapport.

You seem to want to extend the word to mean any relationship that does not involve physically meeting the other person, but I don't see any basis for this in the article you linked.

Do you have any references for this usage, or is it something you've coined yourself?

My biggest concern comes from waste storage, of which my information came from a congressman who had to directly manage the waste in a particular state.

To store this waste you must trust many moving parts, including greedy politicians, greedy corporations and more.

IPFS doesn't give you any guarantees about if the content is actually stored anywhere, it however gives you reasonable guarantees that the addresses for that content stay the same. Meaning if somebody finds an old backup tape decades down the road, they can just stuff it back onto IPFS and all the dead links start functioning again. That's something that is impossible with HTTP, as there isn't even a guarantee that the same URL will return the same content when you access it twice. With IPFS anybody can mirror the content and keep it alive as long as they want, they don't have to hope that the server that hosts it right now keeps running.

That said, IPFS isn't quite perfect here, as IPFS hashes do not actually point to the content itself, they point to a package that contains the content and depending on how that package was build, the hash will change.
> Performance doesn't come from any one quality, but from the holistic goals at each level of the language.

It starts to become an issue when you have built a few well-performing subsystems and now want them to run together and interact. With the GIL, your subsystems are suddenly not performing as well anymore. Without the GIL, you can still get good performance (within limits of course).

Performance referring here to throughput and/or latency (responsiveness).
