It is dramatically more expensive running HVDC under water than above ground, as the cables need to be incredibly tough even compared to buried land cables. I ran across a price quote that seemed like 10x the cost per km installed. If you can do suspended overhead cables, even cheaper. HVDC has pros/cons around the inversion/rectification on either end.

Yet essentially all planned or existing HVDC lines (at least ones notable enough for the map), are undersea cables.

Why would that be?

There are definitely undersea HVAC interconnects - https://www.nkt.com/products-solutions/high-voltage-cable-so...

They seem non-notable enough I had a hard time finding a good combined list anywhere.

I ran across plenty of references to HVAC being used for offshore wind turbines and the like too.

And they were the default standard (and still are for shorter runs and where the grid frequency matches). There are AC solutions for lack of grid frequency matching and the like.

I can’t find a list or easy map for major new on land grid connections - if you can find one, that would be great. Might be national security concerns or something?
It also means you should ignore people who use the stock market as a proxy for how "the economy" is doing.
AutoDesk has supported this kind of automation from almost the very beginning (originally you had to use their Lisp variant AutoLisp but now there's more flexibility).

I agree with you about the web-based criticism though. Working in a browser feels pretty limiting and it's so slow.
In that same article you quote there is also a bit about Feynman, that

"Richard Feynman was fond of giving the following advice on how to be a genius. You have to keep a dozen of your favorite problems constantly present in your mind, although by and large they will lay in a dormant state. Every time you hear or read a new trick or a new result, test it against each of your twelve problems to see whether it helps. Every once in a while there will be a hit, and people will say: "How did he do it? He must be a genius!" "

I've come across this before, but it got reversed in my mind to: every time you come across an unsolved problem, try using all your standard tricks on it. Probably none will help. But perhaps eventually one will and you'll seem like a genius for thinking of applying that trick to that problem.
It seems they do have a contractual obligation of sorts. The Tether TOS state "The right to have Tether Tokens redeemed or issued is a contractual right personal to you." This language appears beginning in 2016. It is, unsurprisingly, light on the details. But the language does imply that the right exists and is non-transferrable.
A bad programmer talks about bad programming. This is one of my favorite talks about software development. I dare you to watch it and choose CS as a career .
Cameras discourage dangerous driving even less, because automated systems tend to only look at superficial metrics (eg speed) rather than actual dangerous behavior such as rapidly darting between lanes or tailgating.

As far as traffic stops creating needless hazards, the solution there is simple - change the expectation for motorists to only pull over where there is enough room (so not just in the breakdown lane), and prohibit officers from carrying weapons on traffic stops. If a motorist escalates to violence, the correct answer is to retreat and form a new plan that reflects the changed circumstance and higher severity of crime, not to jump into playing Rambo.
It depends. If your main UI involves search, you might want to make sure that it is actually usable, competitive and not embarrassing.

If your main business is selling stuff that users find via your search features, then doubly so of course since you are literally losing cash every time your search ends up not doing its job. Easy to measure too and most eCommerce companies that survive long enough do that obsessively because it shows in their recurring revenue if they don't.

Also, if your competitors have awesome search and you don't, your users might realize and jump ship. If you have content that is great but nobody is finding it, you might want to fix it by allowing them to find it via better search functionality.

If search is actually not critical to your UX or product, then by all means, cut corners. Google will happily redirect users to your competitors as well. Make sure to give them plenty of money for keywords. If you don't, somebody will. Either way, your analytics will tell you how people come to your site and what they do once they get there.

Either way, it's not that hard to build a decent search experience if you know what you are doing. The key point of this article is that many engineers kind of don't know what they are getting into and mess it up.
First time I discovered earthly I found it looked cool, but then I encountered the issue that it needed privileged docker which is not really practical in our setup, as this would require launching one VM per build job (we are using gitlab CI)

Is it still an issue? If yes, any plan to lift this limitation?

Given that you're in aerospace, could you get to work on electric or hydrogen planes, and re-frame your work as trying to save the planet? ( Since people just refuse to stop flying, we need non fossil-fuelled planes ASAP IMHO). I mean, we're in a desperate situation with the climate, would working on this crisis transcend the lack of motivation you have?
Cloudflare user for all my services here. I can't remember any downtime ever outside of the couple times where they got massive press over it (because, like, the whole internet broke)
Even if Guix were to switch to systemd (it won't), end users would primarily be interacting with services through the same high-level APIs as now.

https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#Services

That is, the only difference in practice would be replacing 'herd' with 'systemctl' when stopping and starting services manually. Anything else, such as modifying a service, has to go through the configuration system.

Similarly, for service authors, whether the API you design ends up creating a systemd unit file or shepherd service object is an implementation detail and would be mostly transparent.
If a service doesn't provide an easy and obvious way to unsubscribe from unwanted emails—by my definition, not theirs—I personally have no qualms about marking them as spam and letting them take the reputation hit. The same applies if I never subscribed in the first place; I'm not going to click an "unsubscribe" link (which could well be malicious, and at the very least leaks the fact that I received the message) for a service I didn't sign up for in the first place and have no other connection with. If not subscribing didn't work then there is no reason to think that merely unsubscribing will prove any more efficacious.

It gets more complicated when the unwanted spam is from a service which I do want to receive notifications from (just not the junk mail). Most email clients offer rule-based classification which can help, but that is obviously a bit more work than just marking messages as spam.
I believe they were uncharacteristically open about the schedule from the beginning of the CPU transition, with the Mac Pro coming in 2022.
This actually reminds me a bit of CGI ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface ) or its later variants.

Personally, i think that PHP's request-response workflow is infinitely easier to deal with than that of servlets in Java or whatever abstractions other technologies out there have, even if only when scaling isn't a concern (which is perfectly passable for some systems out there).

My ideal language for getting things out the door would be something a bit like PHP, but with the standard library of .NET/Java (LINQ or Streams in particular), the wider ecosystem of Python, simplicity of Go and a decent type system on the top of it all, that'd process requests much like PHP does (or at least would only make you think it does, though abstractions that are leaky are arguably worse than none at all).
If all the assets are downloaded from your website then make it a PWA. Example - ms outlook (web version).

If you want to put the assets on the user's computer run it as a webserver on localhost and launch it in the user's already installed browser. Example - syncthing.

Browser weirdness is not a thing anymore. So packing your own build with the application is super weird.
ELF dynamic linking: a brief introduction
>The primary objective of the US government for its people should be to provide everyone with the same basic opportunities. What they do with those opportunities is up to them, like it is in any other country which already does these things.

>Access to education and universal healthcare + a livable minimum wage at the very least.

I'd add that doing so is also smart economic policy and is good for capitalism.

By expanding the pool of folks who are decently paid and educated, we expand consumer spending (which is ~70% of the US economy) and the skilled labor pool.

Both of those will encourage the broader pool of healthier, better educated people to engage in entrepreneurship, growing and stabilizing the economy over the medium to long term.

And even with such spreading the wealth, the top 10% will still be plenty wealthy. It's a win-win, IMHO.

tl;dr: There are compelling economic/capitalistic reasons to increase wage floors, enhance the social safety net, improve edudcation and generally spread the wealth around, not just those around societal good.
Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch [broken link]
This may get me hung on HN for saying, but I honestly love working with PHP.
I just gave this a quick try. I entered "1,2" in the first cell and "3" in the second cell, no quotes. Then I saved, and the raw output looks like this:

1,2,3,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,,,
... (100 lines total)

Most importantly, the comma in "1,2" was not escaped or quoted, so opening the same CSV that I saved produces a different result.

But also, all the extra commas is pretty weird, at least by default. And I don't see any configuration for that anyway.
Or put it somewhere in the middle of your query! :)
I think you're confusing "income" for "wealth". The wealthiest people are the people with the most assets. You don't pop into the top 10% just by selling a house. That doesn't affect your wealth at all.

The wealthiest do tend to be older because they've accrued wealth over a lifetime, but it's definitely not true that if you're old, you're wealthy.

Wealth is not income, and neither are class.
Sounds like you want to be a Product Manager - defining what a product does and managing the efforts to get it implemented. Titles might also be project manager but product is usually a key word that an organization is less concerned about typical PM's and more about product delivery vs. IT. Business Analyst might also be a path towards a product manager.

Maybe look for something in the investment space since you have knowledge about that.
What hypothesis? The article here doesn't control for some very important factors. I refuse to be outraged until I see numbers corrected for non-outragous factors, like mobility.
Quite right. I contribute a Rust component to a larger AGPL-3.0 project and went with MPL-2.0 over LGPL for this reason.

A bit off-topic, but I wonder if the FSF's ideas about dynamic linking have been litigated yet. It has always seemed a pretty suspicious to me that a dynamically linked program, existing only in volatile memory, could really be a copyright work at all, let alone a derivative one. I found this LWN article that touches on this question[0] and links to some more discussion, which I will have to look into.

Yeah, the odds being there is no point to holding an individual accountable, due to the reasons the comment I relied to.

After a decade plus on a MacBook Pro, it always blows me away looking at non-retina displays. At this point, anything less than 4k might as well be a monochrome monitor limited to 80 characters per line. It just looks so dated and hideous. And when someone sends me screenshots that aren't from a 4k monitor... oof. Like, "Guys can you go re-do that deck on a computer that doesn't take quarters to operate?" Ha.
For auto-sorting mail I use Sieve. It seems to be available for Outlook. It's a protocol for a mail client to talk to a server, along with a language for making processing scripts, which is a bit awkward if you don't care for code. But there are nice front-ends that can magic the code away.

I realise that wasn't exactly what OP was asking, but one way of handling mail you don't have time to read is to file it, and Sieve is an auto-filer.

I once had a colleague with a stack of 3 inboxes on his desk, labelled "Too Boring", "Too Difficult" and "Too Late". You could try something like that :-)
I'd encourage you to plug in the screen size and resolution into a calculator like https://stari.co/tv-monitor-viewing-distance-calculator before making a decision that it's required. A 4k display is 'retina' at distances much closer than people sit, even at 27". On a laptop size screen, it's even worse.

I have a xps 13 and I specifically chose the 1080p version. Even at that res I still have to zoom / scale.
Market cap is a reasonable proxy measure for how much money those companies can bring to bear to win the market (especially if losses[1]), should those companies decide that competing is a number one priority. Two examples from Microsoft: XBox (worked) and Windows Phone (failed).

Revenues or profits in the cloud market for each company are mostly a measure of how much they are winning. How much they are spending is a measure of how much they are trying to compete, and the amount they can spend is also dependent on profits in other areas of their respective business.

> Heck, market caps at this point are almost entirely untethered from reality

Most stocks have some basis in reality, and relative value still matters even if you think the whole market is in Lala land. The stocks mentioned are not diamondhand stocks. Variation in valuation is not hitting two orders of magnitude, which is what we have here.

A better measure might be some gross profitability figure for each company that measures how much each company can pump into competing (expenses), but that is hard to calculate, especially for Amazon.

It depends on the suburb. Midwestern suburbs don't really have the downtown in the same way large cities do. IME they are either just glorified strip malls or touristy places. (TBH I'd really like to know how so many chain restaurants can remain in business... is it just a real estate investment?).

Once you account for some states have terrible weather, dysfunctional state governments, higher property taxes, etc. it might not make sense to trade a a net 20% change in overall CoL if it means you have significantly less to do. If your first thoughts are kids, pets, and gardening than sure the midwest is pretty good. If your primary concerns are career advancement, educated social/dating pool, variety in food and music, niche/luxury hobbies like skiing or surfing, etc. then your options for places to live becomes essentially drastically smaller and more competitive.

That said there are certain midwest cities that might strike a good balance.
Looks like they are bringing back the HDMI port and sd card slot on the pro. Wonder if they got enough complaints about those I/Os being missing on a "pro" machine
It's CSG using CGAL which is mesh based.
> Yet some users still use disposable mails, so there is that.

Shouldn't be an issue if the emails are set optional. I tell them that emails are optional and are for notifications at needgap[1] just like in HN and Reddit(old). Email is optional in new reddit too but it doesn't explicitly state that but can be skipped by clicking next which presume most don't do as we've been trained to enter our email ids for signups.

Even mandatory email id during sign-ups can be tolerated, What's worse is the social network login. I'm sure those who use their social network to signup and login have dozens of applications having access to their accounts which they don't even remember ever using.

I thought at least after GDPR, businesses will give up on social media login due to the compliance headache but they seem to have doubled down.

I have a 4k, 17" laptop and I've concluded that it's largely pointless. Everything needs to be scaled up anyway to make it usable.
I use fedora gnome desktop and although it could be better, I'm happy with the scaling.

The native apps like the terminal and Firefox scale perfectly. When in-between screens one screen may show the window very zoomed in, but when totally on one screen it will show correctly.

Apps which still use x11 (Chrome, Steam, vscode, anything electron) show at the scale factor of the primary monitor. They're perfectly fine if you only use one monitor. When I have multiple monitors I make sure the x11 windows are on my externals (as they're the same scaling factor and one of them is my primary).

It can be a bit overkill, and I run with 250% scale. Having something matching 200% scale would have lead to less artifacts. (or 300%, I guess)

However, when used to it, it's hard to go back.

Well, the pure communism was leading to very slow development and many people still in poverty. Communism wasn't getting them to a socialist paradise. So they adopted capitalism to get their economy going, and that got people wanting capitalism and operating in a capitalist way and with a capitalist mindset. Now they want to keep the capitalist prosperity but have everyone want socialism, think socialism and do socialism.

It remains to be seen whether that is possible; I suspect that the answer is "no". I suspect that they're going to kill the capitalist prosperity by this. But we'll see.

I've seen lots of claims about "X city/country is running on 100% renewables", but these are always talking about net numbers. i.e. they produce enough renewable energy to power themselves if they had the storage, but they don't. They still import fossil fuel electricity when the sun isn't shining or the wind isn't blowing.

Is there something that is fundamental to the cloud that promotes vendor lock-in? I can understand it from operating systems and retailers.

But is there some fundamental obstacle that prevents most cloud services to be delivered by commodity RFC-compliant vendors? Or maybe some glue software layer, that, once you purchase a license, can abstract away the actual provider and make it simply a price decision?

I understand the providers will fight tooth and nail against commoditization, but once the initial wave of innovation and savage competition has passed, do they have a fundamental tool to prevent it?
That scaling isn't like a zoom, though. It makes letters crisper, borders pixel perfect etc.
There's also the early-pandemic dip. The stock gains aren't nearly so dramatic when you look at the bigger picture.
