I don't like discussing more general problems in specific terms (in this case, misogyny). Obviously, there is much more hate against women and women are disproportionately affected by online hate.

But problem is systemic - justice system ignores all forms of hate and targeting only specific issue (misogyny) instead of holding people accountable of their actions online, feels like putting band aid on rotting wound. I used to receive death threats based on my political views (I live in strongly conservative country and I'm vocally liberal), sexual orientation and gender expression. Police didn't take any action on these, or even if action was taken, "proceedings were discontinued due to failure to identify perpetrators" (they had name and city in their Facebook profiles).

Huh, it's never occurred to me to be sad about it. I don't mean to cause too much distress, but I think a lot of people use this operating system.
Not to mention that operator (and function) overloading is absolutely unavoidable when you are dealing with generics. A generic type may itself define an operator, which, of course, becomes overloaded due to its origin, or such a type may require that an operator on another, parameter type, exists and satisfies certain “axioms” (such as associativity).

Ah yes, the good old "640 k should be enough for everyone".

From November 2020 to January 2021 Stockholm region had less than one hour of sunlight. Yes. This is on top of the fact that in mid-December there's a total of 4 hours of daylight per day.

So, let's pretend Stockholm is 100% powered by renewables. So, to live through that Stockholm would need? Triple the amount of wind farms just in case? Or triple the amount of solar panels to "still generate baseload"? Or to hope that neighbors have excess power they can spare, and import that?

And don't forget: solar and wind are extremely ineffecient compared to almost anything else. It takes 630 square kilometers in an open sea to produce less power than the smallest operational nuclear plant in France (Hornsea Project One vs. Saint-Laurent Nuclear Power Station).

> Given she's the BBC's disinformation specialist, it's also not reasonable to expect her to stay off social media.

Why not? Why should every journalist be professionally active on Twitter? There is no reason why every journalist should be active on Twitter, they could just stop. I don't think anything bad would happen from that, rather I would even expect that the quality of articles would improve if journalists didn't obsess over Twitter so much.

Can you explain why she absolutely have to be active and post on social media on a professional account? I don't see it, she can research disinformation and write articles even if she isn't active and commenting on events in real time on Twitter.
GroenLinks has always been the most outspoken against Airbnb.
Complaints are probably heaviest in West and not South. But it doesn't matter where, the green left is the most dominant party under upper middle class, together with D66.

And indeed I wrote it in a way that complaining people led to the fight against Airbnb but I think there are many more reasons. GroenLinks ideology is definitely not caused by that to be sure.

And whether you agree with their policies or not. It's hard to argue against that they at least have made some symbolic political moves, for instance the removal of Iamsterdam because the I was to indivualistic.

This comment section is just atrocious. stopping bullying is something any institution that cares about the well-being of those in its care try to tackle. it is not about pandering to snowflakes. are we really going to call young people who get bullied for looking different, snowflakes? that's the language that we as adults want to use discussing things that drive people to suicide?

and for all those who say don't go online, humans are social creatures. they like to socialize. that's the whole point of social media. by design or not these are now virtual public spaces. and thus they have a responsibility to their users to make sure the discourse doesn't allow bullying. it won't ever work 100 percent but that shouldn't stop is from devising ever more efficient ways to stop bullying. should schools allow bullys free rein just because its their free speech right and if the victim didn't like it, they could have stayed in the class during recess?

Do you want a new career or a new job?

If you want a career then I'd start backwards: Where do you want to be? What can you imagine yourself as? And then works from there what you need to get there.
And likely what you have to do is upskilling somehow before you can even apply, you can probably take a lot of learnings from your past 10 years and apply them to your new role but there are likely a few things you have to learn first.

On the developer point specifically:
Can you not imagine yourself as a developer because of self-doubts or because you really don't like that path?
If you already didn't like it 10 years ago you might not like it now either but if it's just because of doubts whether you can do it then it's a different story.
It's certainly also going to be difficult to get back into a developer role but with the current job market it is probably still easier than most other career options IMO

Even as an expat who has been traveling and living abroad for years, I'd have to admit it's true that tourism doesn't necessarily remain a beneficial thing as tourist numbers get larger.

I'm generally not a fan of the word "sustainable" so I won't use the phrase "sustainable tourism", but it behooves cities (and countries) to find a balance between making themselves attractive to tourists and making sure that the costs of tourism don't exceed the benefits.

Tourism should allow tourists to experience a different place and everything that it's home to (the people, the food, the culture, etc.). When places fundamentally change in an effort to serve tourists, you basically have what I like to call "Disneyland syndrome". They become artificial destinations and the interests of the people who live there are sacrificed to create an optimal experience for the guests.

Airbnb is a parasite and one of the first things cities should look at when rethinking their tourism strategies.
Not just a simple template, a template template, which is certainly quite obscure.
I didn't see that in this post at all. If anything, Apple was way behind at the start on portables, and it even mentions that the famous "yellow envelope" moment was pure marketing ad there were already Sony laptops that could do the same trick.

You do have to somehow acknowledge and explain the dominance that Apple portables have in the popular imagination though, and that's what this does.
Agreed, I'd personally put TIS-100 above both EXAPUNKS and Shenzen I/O.
Read the article. Not the stupid headline. She made an experiment where it shows quite clearly how the networks take problematic people and make them worse by bombarding them with constant misogynistic content.

This fits perfectly with the stories about Facebook. They tune the algorithm for retention not to keep people informed. As a result it makes them more extreme in their views. We might have fewer terrorists, shooting and rape if they just used a normal clean news feed instead of targeting everything.

Your place is in a Mass GRAVE NIMBY!
With anonymous I think matt_f was referring to the users, not the creator or manager of the service, the issue being that an anonymous user could use the service to transmit illegal/immoral/... information (stolen CC info or identity data, CP, trade secrets, government secrets, and so forth) using the service.

The assumption that makes this a problem is that the service makes such users (at least slightly) less easy to trace, and/or the person(s) running the service might in some jurisdictions be seen as responsible for enabling the illegal activity.
Because there are people who do follow up on threats. It's the same reason why when someone calls in a bomb threat, the police evacuate everyone and bring in the bomb squad.

> Just like we do not need a separate grid for green energy we do not need one for reliable and unreliable sources, case in point: we already use reliable and unreliable sources right now

That really doesn't answer how you would solve your own proposal. Let me quote it again: "If you want power continuity then you will have to provide it yourself. If you want reliable power that will be available but a significant premium over the unreliable version, and there will be a limited supply of that reliable power."

So. How are you going to solve that? You either make the entire grid reliable, or you make the entire grid unreliable. There's no "both".

The most simple scenario: two neighboring houses on the same grid. One "is paying premium for reliable power continuity". The other is paying cheaply. HOw are you going to provide one with reliable power, and the other one with unreliable on the same grid?

> it is clear that some consumption will need to be sourced from reliable sources or at least sources with sufficient overlap during generation that their chance of failure is small.

They are on the same grid as everybody else. So you are proposing to build a parallel electrical grid?

> you'll see that in many countries this situation is a reality today, but instead of being billed differently and given a choice the power will simply fail.

I come from Moldova. It's been reliably the poorest country in Europe for the past 30 years. For the past 20 years it hasn't had any rolling blackouts. The US had rolling blackouts in California in 2000-2001 and in Texas in 2021.

Power availability and reliability in the modern world is first and foremost the function of corruption and political will.

I've been playing this a bunch, one assembly puzzle left. All in all it is an excellent game.

I've been studying assembly, mainly from the book, Systems A Programmer's Perspective. Which is an excelleng book, but this game really brought together what I was learning in there. I will be going back and starting it the book again.

As for the game, the developer has been extremely active, puts out multiple patches a day, and is very responsive on bug reports. I've submitted a couple myself. The game still has some rough edges, occasional crashes and the like, but there is only one developer working on it and those things do take a bit of time to track down.

There are a bunch of additions planned for it, 64bit width components, and a number of new puzzles. I look forward to that. The end state of the game leaves you with a sandbox and a number of the community of players have created some very interesting things, such as pipelined registers and a synth in there. Just about every puzzle has been solved with an ASIC of some sort too.

We’ll soon have Java and C# without a JIT once they are done working on their AOT compilers.

The C# one seems to be further along though due to having supported the Mono/Xamarin AOT runtime for a long time and is really easy to setup, it’s just a package reference in your .csproj. It also has the benefit of coming with a modern usable language.

consteval says it MUST be constant evaluated not that it CAN be constant evaluated. That is very different. With consteval it's not up to the caller to make the decision of whether to run at compile-time or not, the caller must provide constexpr arguments. With just a constexpr annotation the caller can decide to run it either at compile-time or run-time.

Netlify's caching for dynamic data has been broken for a long time.

For example, Functions cache on the path only, excluding any query strings. This was reported in May 2020 [0], still unfixed. This means you cannot have any content that you want cached in a query string. It must go in the path.

I just deployed a test site now[1]. Try modifying the query string params. No matter what you change, the first request/response is cached (for 10 seconds 'cache-control: public, max-age=10')

I have always been a passionate free cyberspace and anonymity supporter but those were the days when the Internet was predominantly inhabited by reasonably grown-up, intelligent and educated people. Many of such people preferred to be nice and friendly but many used to enjoy fun of rude language and humor, yet that was Ok as nobody could reasonably suspect they take that seriously and actually hate anybody (let alone are going to go do anything bad offline) when saying something impolite.

Now as everyone is online, including all kind of people with mediocre IQ and EQ from underage children to religious extremists and the Internet is also full of bots and agents of propaganda I feel like the most popular places like Facebook (which have became more influential than TV, let alone newspapers) really should be watched and moderated thoroughly.

I still feel like private and semi-private places where reasonably low numbers of likely-minded people hang out and speak freely like they would in their own kitchen (rather than when visiting a kindergarten accompanied by a probation officer) should be allowed to exist though.

Solar can't provide district heating. When temperatures reach -10, -20 celcius, a heat pump's COP is near 1.0, at which point its basically just a space heater.

Small Modular Nuclear Reactors are the perfect solution for Europe: there's plenty of water, typically cold temperatures, intelligent and stable populations, and high densities. Already nuclear plants around the continent provide heat for district heating systems.

Every major town and city in Europe should have a small modular nuclear power plant. We need to begin manufacturing these units in the dozens each year, ideally the hundreds for installation around the OECD.

In places like Australia the plant can also be used to directly power desalinisation and the water will also provide cooling. Otherwise, the major unsolvable issue for Nuclear is the need to provide a direct water source.
