Yes, opposition of nuclear energy in Germany is historically tied to the peace movement and opposition to foreign powers deploying their nukes on their bases in Germany. Chernobyl was definitely another catalyst here. Though no new nuclear construction has taken place since the early 80s already. Fukushima likely felt very relevant again, because Japan is seen as a highly advanced country and the Japanese are considered extremely diligent in Germany. Parts of the Fukushima plant were also pretty much the same age as many operational German plants at the time, and their reactors are a Western design so the "Soviets don't know squat how to build a safe reactor" excuse that comes up with Chernobyl doesn't have any traction. Overall the nuclear situation in Japan was seen as generally analogous to the nuclear situation in Germany: "The Japanese just had an accident, and we're like them and don't want an accident, so let's shut the reactors down."

Politically, things have become far more convoluted in recent years with large parts of the green spectrum becoming more and more critical of "radiation" in particular (cellular networks, wifi, microwaves, anything nuclear) and entire branches of science in general (nuclear research, obviously, but also pharmaceutics, medicine, biology and others).

As far as the Green party is concerned, historically it had two wings ("fundis" and "realos", the former being the fundamentalists, the latter being realpolitikers), which in principle would both count as sort of left, but in practice the fundis stayed more or less left-ish, while the realos migrated to the right. The SPD-Greens coalition was enabled by the realos wing. Similarly, the realos are now the de-facto ruling wing inside the party since 2018, which is why a SPD-Greens-FDP coalition is possible in the first place.

Coal is quite a difficult topic. Most coal is strip-mined in Germany, which causes the expropriation of entire villages and small cities. That's not a talking point in politics. A state PM illegally dissolving protests against strip mining isn't even a scandal. However, if for example The Left publicly ponders whether expropriation of apartment houses and conversion to social housing in cities could be one way to solve the housing crisis, that's a major scandal and causes them to not pass the 5 % threshold. That might give you a feel for the standing of coal. Despite only employing around 20-25k people in Germany, maintaining coal jobs has become basically an iron curtain protecting coal.

To circle back to the Green party, it's noteworthy that their party program is not even close to a program in line with the 1.5 °C target.
I've been doing something very similar for nearly 10 years. I kept encountering documents that I might need later even though most of the time I would never need to look at them again. This way I can save all of them without having them take up any physical space.
A down side is that initially there was a lot of scanning, but nowadays most documents are already electronic (e.g. credit car, bank statements) so I can just store them directly.

When you're doing cross-platform development like this for the web, you're going to have a "least common denominator" that you have to design for. Safari is that least common denominator right now only because Microsoft switched to using Chromium.
But if Apple switched Safari to use Chromium, then Firefox would be the least common denominator and supporting Firefox would suddenly seem like a burden.

It's fine to criticize Safari and encourage Apple to do better in the space, since Apple isn't super incentivized to improve Safari. But this narrative that always targets the browser with the smallest feature-set at any given time will only stop when all browsers are Chromium based. (At which point they'll start complaining about other browsers using a Chromium version that's slightly behind Chrome.)
This was my thought exactly. I understand why someone would want to do it. However, when a problem comes up, good luck debugging it in python.
I'm obviously simplifying a complicated topic quite a bit. I'm leaving out the whole distinction to be made around Anarcho-syndicalism which is the labor organizing focused strain of anarchy, however these folks are very much against the state. These folks are sometimes historically called left-libertarians and have a strong historical claim on the term libertarian itself. But again, they all don't like the state.
There are also collectivist and communist anarchists, however the latter may even be possible.

Possibly the OP does believe that. I used to live in that bubble. There is an undercurrent in US media and academia that "flyover country" is populated by inbred primitives clinging to obsolete superstition and impervious to reason and science. Perhaps thank Iraq war era Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for kickstarting the phenomenon.

Yes! OP here, and I fully agree with your comments. Indeed, it should be trivial to make a separate package to handle picking the right UI component for each platform.

I do not really know but I would bet Samsung and Qualcomm are working really hard at their chips to match Apple. And sure Apple has a 2+ year lead, especially for the Apple Watch, but I am also pretty sure that said companies are trying hard to snatch some engineers from Apple.

The great deal about ARM devices is not that they are "RISC". It's that they are open (as opposed to x86) and ARM does half of the work for you when you design the chips.

If Apple is really careful they will maintain their lead but if not I give it 5 years maximum till they are outmatched

> Digging into method, then: more-frequently-occurring tags are presumed to be more general than less-frequently-appearing tags?

No, all tags are handled in the same way by the player. It's completely up to the user to specify the hierarchy in which tags can be browsed. The player then builds the tree dynamically.

> If the latter, it's not clear to me how the tags are directed, other than in the sense of an RDF triple's subject, predicate, and object.

I'm kind of lost here, since I'm failing to see where the confusion comes from. Also, I'm not a native English speaker, so I might be missing something or my explanations just aren't well enough. So let's try this again with some simple pseudo code. Tags here are nothing but key:value pairs associated to audio files. So if the user asks for the tree structure like key_3/key_4/key_1 the player can simply do the following:

keys = {key_3, key_4, key_1};
tree = new Tree;

for song in songs {
subtree = tree
for key in keys {
// key here might be something like "Artist"
// value here might be something like "Iron Maiden"
value = song.get_key_value(key)

if !subtree.has_node(value) {
// if the subtree doesn't already have the "Iron Maiden" node in the current level, add it
subtree.insert_node_sorted(value)
}
// use the "Iron Maiden" node as the new subtree
subtree = subtree.get_node(value)
}
subtree.insert_song_sorted(song)
}

Apple vs. Epic: Court denies delay on App Store changes
And IMO if you’re going to pick on Flutter, it’s surprising to me that you’d start with Dart. :)

I know JS is a lot better than it was 20 years ago and even half a dozen years ago, but it gave me enough PTSD over the years that compared to using JS for hybrid apps, Dart was such a breath of fresh air when I built my first Flutter app! I felt it made sense and just got out of the way so I could focus on what I wanted my app to do, and I didn’t even have to read any docs to start using it in Android Studio. And this is coming from having a lot of experience with compiled languages and a lot of Ruby in addition to JS.

I seat the office next to the team of people who designed it and who are currently producing it. Cost is mostly because of the current low production volume : they can't buy full containers of screws, bearings, motors, they can;t order thousands of injection molded parts.

They assemble it themselves. They make the control board mostly themselves, apart from the PCB which is made in China. They also produce the plastic (molded resin I think) and metal parts (we have a big CNC mill) themselves, so they can handle low production volumes without a big upfront investment.

They recently tested it on the Brittany coast under heavy winds, it did fine. It was tested a lot on Aquitaine coast.
Sensationalized headlines during an extrodinary time in economic history.

We've literally just come off the biggest DEFLATIONARY shock of our lifetimes (the pandemic), of course you're going to see tailwinds the year after unprecidented stimulus and consumer demand.

I recommend people focus on the long term trends rather than looking at outliers to predict the future. You could very well argue wage inflation couteracts these effects, on top of supply chain shortages.
My spouse is in healthcare, and at least in the US, it seems to be a similar situation.

There’s a big medical structure. And in theory, there’s lots of folks to deal with XYZ. In practice, docs need to do YZ because they are the ones who have the right combination of training and authorization to complete the task. When more people get hired, the doc just has to communicate YZ to more people. Either the task requires nuance that is missed if you’re not the doc, or the task requires direct doc authorization at various points regardless. Doesn’t decrease their burden at all, even though there’s more people working on YZ.
Let's break this down: 1) The people making these statements think they have the knowledge and ability to solve the world's problems or 2) Those same people believe they have actual influence over the people that may actually be able to solve those problems. Either way, the level of arrogance to reach either of those points is astonishing.

That's not what I was talking about at all. I wasn't talking about PAM itself, but the commenter's impulse to use an abbreviated name of the module in the config rather than the module's actual name. PAM did that right by using the full name in my opinion.

Inflation refers only to the decrease in value of money, it has nothing to do with wages.

"In economics, inflation refers to a general progressive increase in prices of goods and services in an economy. When the general price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services; consequently, inflation corresponds to a reduction in the purchasing power of money."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation

It says "reduction in the purchasing power of money", not "people can now buy less stuff for their salary".

Inflation means you can buy less for the same amount of money, but how much money people earn is a separate matter.
Nice example, the problem with the article is the client(teacher) doesn’t know what they want in this case.

Why GitHub Actions is so slow
I got a few storage organisers [1]. Each drawer is by person and broad category, sorted by date - new things go on top.

The categories should ideally have minimal overlap, so it's clear where they go.

Example categories are: home, car, banking/finance, legal, health, education, and ephemeral inbox.

In case of overlaps, it gets sorted by the organisation that sent the document, e.g. a bank loan about a car will be in the banking drawer, not in the car drawer.

The ephemeral inbox is for anything that only needs to be retained short term (<1 years), regardless of the category.

For any letter that requires an action, I will create a task in my to do list. I will then either file it in the ephemeral inbox or discard it if not needed.

Electronic documents are saved in Dropbox folders by category and year, and are prefixed by ISO 8601 dates.

Personally I run an hour per day outside. It's not just the exercise. I'm aware there are more time efficient ways to work out, but there is also the aspect of emptying your mind and getting away from distractions.

I know some people find this really boring, and there may be reasons it's not feasible for some, but if you can get into the habit, it is great for stress. The key for me is to not let any excuse break the habit. Every day there is some reason to skip the workout, so don't give yourself a choice (unless you have a respiratory infection).
If the interest rate on your debt is less than the rate of inflation, you make money by holding a loan. The current rate of inflation is 5%, the interest rate of a margin loan on IBKR is 1.5% and under. When inflation finally slows, expect a ton of money to come out of the stock market.

This is a pretty solid theory to be honest. On top of that the goalposts constantly keep moving. Here is what CPI would look like today without all the changes to the formula:

The parent was mentioning operational agility, and ability to quickly nearly ‘hot swap’ in live fully formed instances - and with a footprint of multiple petabytes of storage.

Their core business problem is providing databases, and apparently they see leveraging the huge VM and storage pools
available at AWS as a major advantage here (and I for one can’t blame them), over hardware spend absolute efficiency.

Being able to providing a couple hundred TB of extra SSD with a config file change (or return it and stop paying for it almost immediately), has real advantages over rolling it yourself, especially if you only have a 10 person ops team or the like.

Considering the apparent business model, I can see their point.

This project being discussed on the thread is likely a couple folks for a few months - low hanging fruit to save millions. What you’re referring to is a major business effort, if not doubling of headcount, for such a company with at best similar payoff. Running their own colos also means a lot of thinking, planning, and lifecycle management when it comes to equipment generations, upgrades, making sure you’ve got the right amount of spare capacity but not too much, etc.

Also, let’s not forget geo/availability zones.

Not saying co-located hardware is not always worth it - rather they seem to be aware of the trade offs, and are making a rational decision based on their business model.

Later, if they have switched from ‘rapid growth and adjustment’ to a more stable state where they can predict things more in advance, maybe they’ll switch. Maybe they won’t.

Like a large energy consumer, running on utility grid at a certain size in a certain area is often much better than rolling your own generation capacity. Sometimes it’s impossible or less cost effective. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense to even try to do the math, and just get hooked up to the grid.
Clearly these relics have a point, as outlined by the article, but is likely that few (if any) are cost effective from a business perspective. Defining what constitutes their purpose from a social perspective is certainly valid for determining when they should be maintained.

It is all too easy to forget that there are people lead different lives from us. Some people don't have access to phones, or may need to use a phone where their calls cannot be traced by people who are close to them. Children are cited, but even adults in an abusive situations should count. While accidents are cited, there are also victims of crime (e.g. someone who was mugged late at night). Even those who own a mobile phone for emergencies or employment purposes may need to use phone booths, since a long distance calling card and a quarter for a local call is cheaper than a plan with comparable "free" local minutes (or it was about 10 years ago).

Give it 5 years and VR will not be bulky at all.
The causes of inflation are fairly straightforward. It's a shortage of labor, international supply chain issues, and an unbalanced labor market due to a demand profile that changed rapidly over the pandemic (essentially a huge shift to goods over services).

Since the interest rates work by encouraging investment (usually long term), it doesn't look like interest rate changes will have any impact on inflation at least in the short term, since any investments in the labor market will take years to show results.
And it’s in a programming language nobody in the real world knows or uses. So that’s inconvenient.
