There’s also no reason an employee couldn’t have fully flexible hours if the business model is suitable anyway. Well, in principle no reason, anyway, in practice current employment legislation and collective agreements in Finland place limits on working times because historically the risk of employers voluntelling employees to work less-than-pleasant hours has been deemed too high.
That has a significant risk, what if you hit the end of your range whilst the deficit is still getting worse? Deficits are not following nice predictable normal curves.

I've lived somewhere with storage heaters. They are horrible, practically indistinguishable from no heating at all. A large enough thermal mass would require a complete rebuild.
Central Europe here.. had pretty much a month or two (several weeks consecutive) of clouds/fog last winter -> no solar or wind.
Why wouldn't a janitor be deserving of these things? They work hard, their job is essential for the running of other businesses, and most of all they are humans too.
One way around it in niche contexts is to run everything through a determined moderator.

It seems inactive now but Edward Tufte's forum was a great example of this – https://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard – with every single post or comment being made via a basic HTML form and Tufte would then approve everything manually. This resulted in nothing but high quality (and often authoritative) discussions as you knew Tufte was directing it. Indeed, the forum even discussed the topic of content moderation once and Hacker News popped up: https://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=...

This can't really work at scale, but then would I prefer to frequent a handful of gigantic forums or many Tufte sized hyperspecialized forums..? In any technical field, the latter.

>I am utterly astonished that this is never, ever discussed when talking about solutions to fluctuating supply.

I'm not surprised to be honest. On a forum like this, you'll get a bunch of very smart people talking about something they don't know a lot about, but authoritatively. (Just look at the incredibly snarky and dismissive responses you've received)

It's certainly talked about in industry and work is going into implementing it.

I work in the electricity-tech industry but I've given up on trying to talk about things like demand response as I'm always shouted down
Ask HN: Looking for secure modern low energy local backup device

Same for nuclear, you must take in consideration the nuclear plant destruction, which is pricey, and almost never factored in.

In fact, for some weird reasons, I see cost reports in France factoring in wiring for wind energy, but not for nuclear.

Also nuclear assume good relationship with nations providing the fuel, which is costly: see Mali war for my country.

Getting your hands on objective calculations to compare cost for all energy types it something I seem to never be able to do.
Hey, thats cool. Thank you.
But that one is not directory-specific, right?
You don't need __lots__ of uranium. The cost of uranium for running a nuclear reactor is a rounding error in their overall costs.
I would that there were time travel available. Then we could send the Noble Savage Myth[1] peddlers back to their Edenic antiquity of choice.

Perhaps they'd discover that their purported paradises were as friction-laden as the present, albeit without all the bad, bad technology that ehances our Tartaran present.

Geodemographics at the very least can be a decent proxy for race and politics. Add some basic interests and activities and you've got more refinement.

One need only say "we want to target people in this area of the city" or "we want to target people who like The Telegraph magazine" now combine them, etc etc.

It's not the same but it's very close. The difference is that advertisers can't explicitly target these groups which seems good.

I wonder if religion and other less geographically constraints attributes will also be excluded?
And at least in Finland Doordash really isn't a competitor, so there isn't even monopoly issues.

Maybe. But remember that the employees themselves voted on this. This was done by an independent auditor.
November Betting Tips
A 2-hour project is hardly a project. It's still a contrived problem with limited scope. I don't see it as an improvement. And you're assuming that the person who is assigning the task can estimate it correctly (this goes back to the topic of the OP).

I suppose people's preferences vary a lot. Personally, I would turn this down. The format of "do as much work alone under pressure" is extremely offputting. I'd much rather do a whiteboard interview where the problem is well scoped in time and I can discuss my solution with the interviewers. I also wouldn't mind a take-home that actually takes 2 hours that I can do whenever I please - but asking for the work to be returned within hours is a dealbreaker for me.
Thank you for sharing your story, it warms me up to hear about people pursuing their dreams - I'm excited to see what games you develop for us. Give us more to play!
Maybe a stupid question for Flutter users, but why are there two versions for every UI element in the source code? I'd expect that I initialize the theme once at application startup, and then the widget and layout engine works in "Windows" or "macOS" mode (or whatever else the theme decides to implement). What's the point of using a cross-platform UI framework if I need to duplicate the code for each platform?
Strong typing doesn't fix the issue that invisible characters can be used as variable names.
I mention elsewhere in this thread that there are many layers that can do this sort of attack. Also, this same issue applies on android, where you can have stores not owned by the OS vendor.
"the government is out to get you" mustn't be the source of the lacking trust. Governments constantly fake numbers relating to crime, threats, unemployment and any other statistic to paint officials in a good light or to just hide the mentioned incompetency.
I mean the risk you mention seems unrelated to your business relationship with AirBnB. Personally I wouldn't expect their insurance to e.g. cover natural disasters either.
> Firefox is only now catching up in regard to site isolation.

Yes, but firefox has other benefits. if only that, a cooperative team that's happy to take patches as part of the "tor uplift" project, whereas Chrome wants to fingerprint every single user and makes projects like TBB harder to implement.

Also, i personally think it's a good thing that TBB is a noscript-first browser. Everything involving JS, even with a 10 feet pole, is a glaring security issue. So yes you can enable JS and the site isolation isn't the best, but truth is just use "Safest" mode and you'll be fine.
UTIs are treatable without a sugical intervention. Same goes with phimosis.

The evidence for HIV is at best questionable. Comparing men that can't have sex because part of their penis got cut off and is healing with men that have sex normaly will massively skew the results.

Also the studies where highly unethical. I can't understand how encouraging HIV positive people to have unprotected sex got past an ethics board.
Open Rally Computer – I open sourced my biggest project to date
I recently decided to release all of the code, diagrams, PCB designs and BOM of the biggest project I've made hoping that the Open Source community will improve it way beyond of what I could by myself.

Something similar in Croatia too. Some years ago they've introduced freelancer laws and pretty much everyone in this industry who was paid by foreign firms was using this.

But relatively recently the government changed their minds and said that if more than 50% of your income comes from a single employer then you're not a freelancer, and these laws don't apply.

So the option is to take a 60%+ tax on your income or find a job with a local company which then works for a foreign company. In latter case, they are nothing more than a middleman taking a smaller (but not much smaller) cut than the government while providing you with next to nothing.

So it doesn't make much time to figure out who lobbied for reversal of those freelancer laws.
It depends. Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Mongolian, etc. writers are using vertical layout for text without problem.

Living in a free society necessarily entails a certain amount of risk. Leaving it to the megacorps alone to determine where the line between risk avoidance and freedom should be is at the very least undemocratic.
StreetComplete is a very user-friendly way to start contributing to OSM without needing to know anything about how OSM stores data. Looking up OSM keys/values for data entry can be tedious, and it's incredible how StreetComplete bypasses that completely. Most OSM editors work best on a large screen, but StreetComplete makes it quick and easy to contribute on mobile.

Another great tool for contributing to OSM is MapWithAI. It uses computer vision to identify the shapes of buildings and roads in satellite imagery, so that you can add them to the map with one click. The AI assistance considerably speeds up the process of adding items to the map, saving you from drawing them by hand.

MapWithAI is integrated with a fork of the online OSM editor (RapiD), which can also be used without learning about the technical details of OSM. If your area is missing a lot of buildings or roads in OSM, and you'd like to improve the maps, I encourage you to give it a try:

> When the "classic way" shows a high rate of crime in a PoC and gang dominated neighborhood, any form of "prediction" will direct more police presence there than to White, "rich" neighborhoods.

You're proposing to pull the police from the bad or black areas and have them police rich or white neighborhoods?

This smells like the white savior complex, no offense. A safe person from behind the keyboard, wants police removed from bad black areas...even though the people in those areas want more police

Well, I don't know. Are batteries + renewables a prior impossible? I can't see why, especially if we're talking about utility-scale batteries, which could be heavy and bulky.

My point is we don't have them at a competitive price, and yet the renewables people insist we definitely well. We might, we might not.

That would enable even more political prosecution of subjects and would put extreme chilling effects on everyone including any press outlet.

The hardest pill to swallow is marginal difficulty. Everyone can agree that writing something like a modern full fledged browser is hard. But how hard is it to add a small feature to said browser? Well, the feature in isolation is easy, but the entire browser at that scale is much more complicated than the sum of its parts, so the difficulty comes from incrementing the complexity of the entire browser and not from how hard the feature itself was. Good code design can alleviate this a bit, but not entirely.
The results can also be explained by the lack of sex after surgery.

These studies shouldn't exists. They were highly unethical.

There are effective ways to lower the risk of HIV transmission. Circumcision is not one of them.
I was referring to the cost of the equipment getting destroyed by crashing: makani's (and others) kites are pretty expensive and crashing one is a Big Deal, it does not seem the same in this design.

Potential for damage and energy are probably correlated, in the sense that this design seems to attempt to harvest low-altitude winds (30m), while makani and others wanted to get the high-altitude stronger and more constant ones.

This design does not have an heavy high flying turbine, it has a small lightweight one, and they plan to have multiple tethering ropes so I think the risk you face is in fact in the same ballpark as a hobbyist kite.

IANA wind-electricity-physics person tho, so take everything I say with a large grain of salt.
What was wrong with only allowing ASCII in identifiers?
> 1. It creates a security consideration with confusable identifiers (and lints don't always catch these)

O/0 and I/1/l are confusable characters within ASCII. I'm not kidding here, they are actual entries in the Unicode confusables database [1]. But no one wants to remove those characters from identifiers.

[1] For example, https://util.unicode.org/UnicodeJsps/confusables.jsp?a=0&r=N...

> 2. It breaks tooling with RTL identifiers

It rather unbreaks tooling with no RTL support.

> 3. It may not render correctly depending on fonts

So does Unicode in comments and string literals. In fact the purported Trojan "attack" was mostly about string literals. So why should they be allowed in strings but disallowed in identifiers?

> 4. It may be hard to type depending on keyboard layout

Did you know that not every Latin keyboard layout supports a backquote (`)? This was the actual reason that the repr(expr) shortcut got removed from Python 3 [2].

[2] https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2007-January/...

> 5. There really isn't a good reason to use non-ASCII idents anyway

My canonical answer from the experience is that not every programmer who can understand English documentations can easily write and comprehend English in general. For those people having a non-ASCII identifier support is a great relief, as it frees them from choosing "correct" English identifiers. You can disallow them for your project if you want (or conversely, make it an optional feature disabled by default), but they are relevant for someone else.
For a mcdonalds meal worth of 5-7e, 3e delivery is a complete highway robbery.

If people will go get their own food, try to guess how much the delivery guy earn then when the whole business goes down?

From user of the service point-of-view, the salary of a middleman delivery guy is irrelevant. It's only about what service is being given and how much does it cost. If the cost is too high then people will simply not buy the service. Food delivery is not a necessity after all.
The thing is, the industry of your country doesn't turn off many factories, even during night. They suck juice.

Also, for shops, mall, offices, there is a prolongued pic during the day, and you can't offset that.

Also, your solution assume:

- a lot of smart connected systems (for the heating, the washing machines, etc)

- massive EV parks

- rétrofit buildings to fit those big rocks, heat them, and get heat from them

This is not trivial and would add to the cost to sell renewable energies, which are already not easy to market.
Assuming everyone on the scene possesses full situational awareness of the nature you can slowly and meticulously tease out in a courtroom is insanely silly.

seriously, I'd fire anyone who put any emoji in an identifier.
The compiler disallowing them globally might count as that. But individual crates enforcing an "ascii only" policy makes sense, if they never plan to use non-ascii.

Personally I'd prefer even one step further: the compiler would disallow them by default, and you can opt into specific character sets/languages at a crate level. e.g. `AllowSpecialCharacters("de")` to enable on special characters common in German.
Those are two different things. Normal insurances for your house cover fire damage or burglary, but not the damage done by your guests. The Airbnb insurance does exactly that.
OK, OK, we can start with a warning in the compiler that use of any language except English is unsafe.
There are some neat ways to combine the advantages of OOP and FP. Methods calling free functions, helper objects that never leave the scope of one method or function...

I think the mistake of early 90s was to equate OOP with good programming. It's just a tool, it's suitable for some things and not others.

You can take anything too far. I have seen separation of concerns taken too far. There were models and controllers tightly coupled with a big interface, where the separation was not adding anything of value. It's people designing things they way they "ought to be" without really considering the pros and cons given the problem at hand.

It really bothers me to defend Blue Origin but they have nothing to do with the delay of Artemis II until 2024. Given that Boeing can only build one SLS per year, Artemis III, the landing, is necessarily pushed to 2025.

Blue Origin is just the scapegoat in this case. That's ok, they deserve it.

It'd be great if you could integrate some functionality similar to spotlight like, keyboard shortcut to invoke the search that also searches past sites and info on them

Also, it'd be great if it could suggest websites and news based on my search history

potential features could be like pinning and grouping sites like toby

Also, love the domain
It's always two rules...

- 80/20. Yeah, much of it goes quicly. But the devil is in the details, and those add up, especially when you're staring into the abyss of an unknown.

- I learned this early on in my career. It applies to just about all projects, not only software.

Apple Notes. Even though the editor could have had more features, haven't found anything that offers the same kind of convenience.

I don't really want to use Google for my personal documents, and I also don't want to use a web app to access them. It syncs across all devices and has a nice built in scanner and a few other nifty features.

We even use it for sharing notes between family members. If I go to the store, my wife might send me a shared note with "collab" mode where she will see each item I have ticked off.

Before that I used Evernote, but they lost half my notes. As a non paying "customer" I couldn't really complain.

I can see why this project will take longer than 2 hours if you introduce new requirements.

I have a bash alias that almost solves the problem as stated. I'm not on my PC at the moment, but it's something like (forgive formatting on mobile, space inserts keyboard suggestions so even this much indentation involves a bunch of copy-pasting).

while :; do
x="$(xclip -out)"
if [ "$x" != "$lastx" ]; then echo "$x"; fi
lastx="$x"
sleep 0.5
done

If you pipe that function (I call it whilepaste) into |grep https?://, you've solved the problem as stated. If you want more, if it's not just for yourself (the author literally said they just wanted the program to use for themselves) and it needs further usability features, automatic run on startup, etc., that's a different set of requirements that you apparently didn't mention when the student posed the clarifying questions. But even so, making a tray icon and automatic startup on windows is probably approximately two hours if you're experienced in coding and just need to look those two things up. I remember doing both as a teenager back in the game maker 7 days using a DLL, so I have a vague memory of how much work this was.

I don't disagree with the general point that some problems are deceptively hard and that, if you're making this for someone else (even this tech-savvy coding teacher), you'll probably spend an afternoon with polishing and extended testing included, and that gets longer the bigger the initial estimation (the famous one-weekend project). Still, a problem like replicating Twitter is probably a better example of something that seems very simple and the amount of time needed only becomes clear once you realize how much work it is to setup all the stuff around the core function of showing short messages to followers.
In cases like this I reply "Hi" in 10 minutes and close, so people see it would be easier to start with actual thing instead.
