That depends on your generation capacity and what the rules of your grid are.

If you're capable of producing enough power to run your home most of the time, then being grid connected and buying peak load from the grid itself rather than browning out your own devices might be a worth while tradeoff.

Most of us with grid tied solar installations (like me) transparently buy and sell electricity to and from the grid depending on day conditions. I buy from the grid overnight, and sell excess capacity during the day. Depending on how much electricity you use a battery system will smooth those out, but you need a lot of batteries to eliminate the need completely (OP mentioned 48KWh, which is about 3.5 Power Walls).

In my area the grid is really reliable and fees are low, so buying batteries is not economically viable. I'm currently paying $5.24 per month for a grid tie, which is below my threshold for caring.
It's a fair point that income inequality has been driven to great extent by the professional class. But the message behind the article is that everything's fine because labor's share of income has remained stable. The problem is the growing inequality, not the identity of the people taking a disproportionate share of the income pie.

Tax-and-transfer is a response to inequality, and so necessarily lags the problem it tries to address. If current policies were truly maintaining the status quo from 50 years ago, then it follows that wealth inequality would be increasing linearly, and not accelerating as it is.

Changing a feature phone for smartphone with two cameras(front and back), internet, and general computing capacity was a leap(circa 2009). Having a better camera, faster CPU, bigger screen - doesn’t feel like much. I haven’t had a desire to get a new one in half a decade(I’d keep my iPhone 7 if it wasn’t suffocating thanks to megabytes for JS on every page).

I guess it's more about priorities, if you want to build a web app don't reinvent the underlying protocols. If you want to build an embedded system for monitoring room temperature don't invent your own locks.

But if you want to make a lock by all means make a lock, just don't go and reinvent the chip architecture...

Your internet browsing is real life.

Where you browse from, what you look at, who you talk to.

All collated, filtered and condensed into a picture of you. All websites using a unique identifier to trace _you_ the individual across all visited sites.

Web tracking is much more pervasive than just knowing what you've read. It's a huge picture of you and it does follow your location, habits, impressions and other things in the real.
That is not the part of your statement that I was saying is incorrect. The part that I still say you're wrong about is the statement that people who use CPU renderers do so because they're old school. To claim that is ignoring the realities of how GPU renderers handle large scenes.

You again try and say the big studios are laggard in adopting tech, and have tired pipelines. That's not why they're using CPU rendering. It's because GPU renderers did not scale to meet their needs.

A lot of the big VFX studios are renderer agnostic (e.g ILM), and would have no issue adopting GPU renderers if it met their needs.

You're continuing to project your subjective (and frankly incorrect) opinion that GPU renderers have superseded CPU renderers already onto the industry, without understanding the limitations involved.

You even mention "hybrid Renderman" in which I think you mean XPU, but that's yet another example of a GPU renderer that isn't at parity with the CPU one. The same goes for Arnold GPU etc...

"I was speaking about what artists want" is fine, but you're also dismissing the very real reasons people are still on CPU renderers by saying it's a matter of legacy.

Or, what usually happens, is someone like me runs into the bug. I search the issues and find it closed. I consider the maintainer incompetent because the issue was reported and either fixed, but they obviously don’t have regression testing, or the don’t care about actually fixing bugs. Either way, I will probably seek out a different project if I can. If the issue is open, even for years, that’s totally different and understandable.
I get your point and mostly agree. However you would struggle heavily to find even one thing that 99.999% of people do that remotely compares to literally flying in the air spraying lead poison over hundreds of miles and thousands or tens of thousands of people, animals, plants that are in your way.

And for people who need a GPU, thats fine. The way I uses a computer, I don't really need GPU rendering. CPU rendering to a frame buffer is good enough for me. When I started using Linux many moons ago, very many things were handicapped because driver support wasn't there, and plenty of us were happy enough to continue using it. I imagine there are people who feel the same way about support for BSDs and Linux on M1s.
> but will you pay $500 more for an iPhone? Most people won't.

I really enjoy this thought exercise: what if everything was made ethically and cost reflected that. The world would probably be unrecognizable from what it looks like now.

The original iPod would never have been as wide-spread, for example, because the cost would have made it, truly, a luxury. That's if it was even invented at all, because it's pretty obvious that the iPod wasn't the first consumer electronic. Computers might be only affordable by large corporations, universities, and governments, so most of us here would not be working in the tech industry. Etc.

I think that this is important to remember because it really emphasizes that nearly every aspect of modern life is built on the backs of the disenfranchised. It's impossible to live truly ethically in this system. As a sibling post points out: there's no +$500 ethical iPhone option, so the power is literally out of the hands of the consumers (and I'd argue that having some sort of technology is very nearly required to function in our society, at least in the US).

As the saying goes: there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
That seems to fly in the face of the private health insurance system that many of us are forced to use. I believe there are many more value based healthcare situations now than before but suspect that it’s still a tiny fraction of healthcare delivery in the US.

Realtime multiplay state sync isn't remotely like CRDT, it's an endless series of hacks where you attempt to send as little data as possible to have the best player experience as possible. Total smoke and mirrors.

It's fantasy to assume a client has any real "truth" about the world over the span of milliseconds, and in practice you want the client to be as ignorant as possible because cheat programs will let people see through walls, see across the map, etc.

You compensate through speculative prediction to try and make things like movement or gunshots feel lag-free, but again it's smoke and mirrors and a hundred things can cause that to go wrong. How do we resolve mis-predictions to the player? Hide it as best as possible through VFX is a great technique, or hope the users don't notice that a couple of their bullets had exactly zero effect because the server decided you shot outside the rollback buffer and didn't actually hit that other player.

It's very game-dependent too. Valorant hits a 120hz tick rate through insane optimization, and if you have a low-latency connection your view of the world will be much, much more in sync with truth compared to a game like PubG that early on had a tick rate around 15hz (oof).

It's always been a bucket list gamedev goal of mine to work on realtime multiplayer, but after a couple years of doing it I find myself fantasizing of a world where everyone is playing on a computer that isn't a potato with a connection that isn't jittery.

While INS is not simple, it's also not that difficult to implement. As even the cheapest drones that can hover show new MEMS sensors are accurate enough to work with a proper filtering.

I did some prototype INS system as my master's thesis 10 years ago, the code was quick and dirty and even then the accuracy was like 30 meters after an hour of walking around with the device.
True. NXP chips can also be found in devices made by vendors who are too small to get a response from Qualcomm or NVidia. Unless you're moving thousands/millions of units, those big dogs won't even entertain you with a quote.
I use JOE as my daily driver. I grew up on Borland Turbo C, so it was an easy transition for me when I picked up Linux circa 2000.

A few dozen issues is one thing, but lots of the major OSS projects have thousands of open issues at any given time. If people think that each open issue is an unfixed bug or missing feature, then thousands of issues would mean that the project is at best unreliable and at worst fundamentally broken or dead. Except most of those issues are from users who should be asking questions on stack overflow.

From what I've seen in my company there seems to be some resistance to rust due to it already having a lot of code written in other languages and them kinda of being the default go to choice.
I was looking forward to trying Rust on my ESP32 projects but always had a hard time. All the tooling is too complicated. There is flasher coded in python, IDF coded in C, you need to run MinWin on Windows which makes it even harder. You can't run all of this in docker because docker for windows doesn't allow mapping COM ports into container and stuff.

Everything about just compiling a code seems so tiresome and unstable in comparison with STM or Atmel environment. Yet still I love ESP32 even though I gave up trying to code it in Rust. Even C++ was not working well and had to make several pull requests to add `extern "C"`s into IDF codebase for my code to work.

I'm looking forward to improvements on the Rust environment.

When we got bought out, there was some kind of push to "look like we're busy" or something. Our PMs closed a ton of old issues "because they're old". They're old, but they're still issues. We still have the problems with the product, there's just no note of them now.

That's not better.

Just linking to Wikipedia doesn't help your argument.

For The Netherlands, this includes two: KMar (who also secure airport like Schiphol) and DSI. It does not include for example regional AT (arrestatieteam, the equiv of a SWAT team).

Every time a Dutch police officer uses their gun on the field (so exercise is excluded), there's an internal investigation, by default. If that'd happen in USA, you'd have a huge dept. of internal affairs, lol.
In what space? If you're talking about embedded, it's going to be pretty slow for industry to start using rust en masse. There's a huge amount of inertia in embedded, and the developers are somewhat beholden to manufacturers to release tooling around rust.

In the software space, rust is being used by quite a few companies [0].

The number of people at the protest doesn't particularly matter. It's a proxy for people who are against the vaccine, and we have better data in the article: vaccination rates.

> As of last Tuesday, the overall NYPD vaccination rate was 71 percent.
>
> Rates among other city workers are even lower, with only 60 percent of the SDNY and FDNY's uniformed workforce having received their shots.

At this point, I would strongly suspect anyone who isn't vaccinated is against it.

I'm surprised the article doesn't focus more on the fact that this could be a crisis for NYC. That's a huge percentage of their public workers to put on unpaid leave at once. That could leave huge holes in department hierarchies, causing organizational chaos on top of trying to do the same thing with 2/3rds (or less) of the people.

I think NYC is too large in absolute terms to just re-hire from other areas. It takes time to train new people.

I'm curious to see where this goes.
The value would be in somebody else encountering the problem — they don't need to open a new issue (that will eventually get closed due to being stale later). Net effect is that you get less mail.

Good technology is transparent. If advancements are done right, you would notice much difference.

The truth is, not that much was different between 2000 and 2010 or 1990 and 2000. But 2010 and 2020? This last decade has marked such massive improvements in ways we aren't noticing, and in things we aren't using. Everything from cameras with resolutions and ISOs that are off the charts, OLED, LiPo Battery density, robotics with walking and flight, guidance, wireless transmission and encoding/decoding, Machine learning in everything including your phone, and our phones... they are amazing pieces of kit. Oh, reusable rockets that land themselves! Cars that literally drive themselves. Spot, the robot dog? Right in my office right now, ultra-thin laptops, compact high quality microphones, headphones with unbelievable noise-canceling, 3-axis gimbals, 10-bit n-log external recorders, wireless solar powered remote security cameras, drones with amazing stabilized video quality that you used to need a helicopter to shoot, and on and on and on. The last decade has been insane, turning future dream tech in to Walmart black-friday super sale items. You may not appreciate or even notice the tech advancements in the last 10 years but they have been monstrous compared to any other decade.

> This is why everyone should have a bugout bag and possibly radio training.

I don't know about you, but for me the vast majority of possible disaster situations would not include fleeing my home and city.

Local disaster (e.g. fire) would flee my home but use city services. Regional disaster (e.g. blizzard, civil unrest) would involve staying at home for the protection / amenities it provides.

Personally, I think fleeing to the wilderness is an anti-pattern and I have not seen a situation for me that would necessitate it besides the end of the world as we know it (e.g. nuclear war), but IMO that moves into "some prepper crap" territory.

If you live in a region with seismic activity, earthquake preparedness might necessitate a bugout bag, but that's hardly 'everyone'.
If that strategy works for you then you should continue doing so. However, I noticed that in the read me for your project (https://github.com/laurent22/joplin) you are not explaining that this is how you handle bug reports. Perhaps as a courtesy to users you could add that? Then people like me who think that strategy is bonkers could avoid wasting our time by filing bug reports to your project.
>Government shouldn't be run for profit, frankly it should pay for the entire connection.

People should likewise not be able to run up arbitrary high costs and expect the government (i.e., other people) to pay for it.

You cannot run anything, including governments, forever at a loss. People pay for things in every case.
> I really think the whole addicted after one dose is bullshit

When I was ~12 I got nitrous in the dentist's chair.

I remember the thought going through my head: Wow, this is really cool.

However, I didn't have ready access to nitrous! If my parents had a whipped cream maker, would I have started huffing whip-its? Maybe, but at least they aren't addictive. It's not like I would have gone into withdrawl after going through a box.

I think the bigger issue is the physical dependency that opiates have. Once the drug is no longer the "new toy," but the physical dependency is there, it's much harder to stop once the novelty is gone.
