Well, it is not like an antiwork movement has been forming on the US and is gaining mainstream traction. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/ )

> In lights of the evergrande crisis, I'm not sure how efficient China's hugely state-directed investment system is.

How is a private developer that overleveraged itself the fault of a state that is investing in _public infrastructure_ like high speed rail, nuclear reactors, and tech in general? Since anything vital is public property they can do what self-called capitalists in the US cannot: let evergrande fail. (No private company in China is "too big to fail")

>It doesn't! No one is forcing anyone to use async.

Well, hang on there... this isn't entirely fair.

Rust does not force you to be async, but the community in some ways pushes you to be async even where it might not make sense for it to be the default. I can't say for certain (and this is all my opinion, to be clear) but it feels like this started happening when async-fervor hit its peak.

My go-to example is reqwest, which if you want a blocking HTTP call, still just needs all of Tokio in the background. I find it really odd that the blocking API is just a wrapper for a finagled async API; if I'm choosing the blocking one, I probably don't want Tokio in my project.

There are other HTTP request libraries, to be clear - but they're often less battle tested and/or have their own lurking bugs. Reqwest is the de-facto one and it'd be nice to be able to use it without the heaviness it brings in.

Depending on the domain you're programming in, it can often feel like async-by-default is the norm. It can be frustrating in Rust.

(It's nowhere near enough to deter me from using the language, mind you)
Not just the melting of the glass, but the collecting of the glass, sorting it, cleaning and crushing also take a lot of energy.

Again, as the world is learning/has learned, recycling is not "free" and is much, much worse than (a) reducing the need in the first place and (b) reusing.
It's my understanding that 1000/30 isn't an artificial limitation. The coax lines have limited bandwidth such that 1000/1000 per customer just isn't possible. They could split it different ways, of course, but since historically most customers download far more than they upload the 1000/30 became standard among consumer ISPs.

Not that ISPs aren't evil. They were paid to run fiber everywhere, such that everyone would have 1000/1000 fiber links by now. But such as it is.

> Many things are natural monopolies ( infrastructure, education, healthcare) and are best left to state monopolies, even with the downsides.

You have to be really careful with this. Most of the natural monopolies are very narrow.

You can't just say "infrastructure" or even "telecommunications." The natural monopoly is limited to the physical plant in the last mile. Transit is a competitive market. You don't want to extend the monopoly an inch more than it needs to be.

Almost nothing in "healthcare" is a natural monopoly. Maybe emergency services, and even then it's not a "real" natural monopoly (which is characterized by high fixed costs and low variable costs) but rather a market failure as a result of being unable to make a rational choice between providers while you're unconscious. It certainly doesn't apply to, for example, cancer treatment, where there are many providers and people are willing to spend as much time as necessary and travel long distances in order to receive the most competitive care.

And there is no sense in which any education is a natural monopoly whatsoever. It is the exact opposite -- a competitive market whose costs are predominantly variable (per-student) rather than fixed.

There is a case to be made for the local government to do the thing which is actually a natural monopoly, but that doesn't mean you can just reclassify a bunch of random stuff you want the government to do as a natural monopoly when it isn't.

And the following is literally the first paragraph on the article:

"Glass can be recycled infinitely without losing any of its properties. Why, then, are most countries — with the exception of those in Europe "

Thanks for serving as the perfect excample to the type of attitude I was referring to
Currently yes. There's a lot of heat capacity to the furnaces so a cold start requires a lot of heat to get to nominal. That's not to say one couldn't be designed in such a way that it can be set to idle without losing too much heat. It's probably much easier to do that if it's electric vs nat gas.
(“What language is this article written in?”)
The problem is that there are no platforms from the government or states. Schools or I bet individual teachers have to find a solution for themselves. There are solutions out there some cost a lot of money and some are just not easy to deploy. This is systemic and not anything we should put on teachers or individuals that have no chance to change the shitty work environments they are in.
I have three counter points.

First, my concern with technical innovation is that it will simply be exploited for increased output. If the process for making widgets is made twice as efficient, people will make twice the widgets and pollute just as much.

Second, in your example of coal being made obsolete by market forces: governments are already skewing these forces with massive subsidies for fossil fuels. We need governments to stop doing that.

Third, bringing new technology to market requires huge investments and risks. We need governments to incentivize and support this development so that it can happen as quickly as possible. Free markets are not some efficient force that just always magically do the right thing when left to their own devices. They are marred by countless modes of failure.

The underlying social and political issues are almost intractable, but they cannot be ignored just because it's too difficult. I don't believe we can simply technology our way out of this.
An you explain me the difference between your solution 2 and 3?

Well, it's coming from the perspective of having lived in the Canaries and becoming aware of the fact that Morocco isn't necessarily the nicest neighbour to have. There are lots of border issues which would be exacerbated if the Canaries weren't a part of Spain (which is able to strongarm Morocco in ways the Canaries alone couldn't). So while Canarians do have their own strong culture they still prefer to be a part of Spain.

Of course there are other reasons as well, but was wondering how much the perception of needing geographical protection and resources (of a larger more powerful country) plays into the equation. France (or Spain) would hardly be considered a threatening neighbour.

And then based on the answer I suppose I could better gauge how strong the will/determination to be independent actually is.

But at this point you don't actually need to subsidize solar with respect to coal you just have to discontinue all coal and oil subsidies and the free market does this organically.

There are places where nuclear makes more sense but now that solar has dropped in price by 10x it is incredibly competitive. Can't we just let the free market work this out?

I have no idea about some of those other desktops, but all the basic moving parts are mostly necessary:

- logind because you probably still want lid/sleep events to work when at a VT

- gdm because you probably still want lid/sleep events to work while nobody is logged in

- desktop settings because different users may want different things to happen on those events

I'm a little confused as to why the gdm settings were needed, at least for me those only take effect when the greeter is actually open. And in GNOME the separate screensaver daemon has been removed, in part because it simplifies the whole equation.

Most of the self-service or no-code BI, ETL, data wrangling tools are am aware of (like airtable, fieldbook, rowshare, Power BI etc.) were thought of as a replacement for Excel: working with tables should be as easily as working with spreadsheets. This problem can be solved when defining columns within one table:

ColumnA = ColumnB + ColumnC, ColumnD = ColumnA * ColumnE

we get a graph of column computations similar to the graph of cell dependencies in spreadsheets.

Yet, the main problem is in working multiple tables: how can we define a column in one table in terms of columns in other tables? For example:

Table1::ColumnA = FUNCTION(Table2::ColumnB, Table3::ColumnC)

Different systems provide different answers to this question but all of them are highly specific and rather limited.

Why it is difficult to define new columns in terms of other columns in other tables? Short answer is that working with columns is not the relational approach. The relational model is working with sets (rows of tables) and not with columns.

One generic approach to working with columns in multiple tables is provided in the concept-oriented model of data which treats mathematical functions as first-class elements of the model. Previously it was implemented in a data wrangling tool called Data Commander. But them I decided to implement this model in the Prosto data processing toolkit which is an alternative to map-reduce and SQL:

https://github.com/asavinov/prosto

It defines data transformations as operations with columns in multiple tables. Since we use mathematical functions, no joins and no groupby operations are needed and this significantly simplifies and makes more natural the task of data transformations.

Moreover, now it provides Column-SQL which makes it even easier to define new columns in terms of other columns:

> More like 52% isn't it?

You're correct it was 52% - however that does not represent 52% of all the public - it represents 52% of the public who turned up to vote. Obviously that still carries the majority verdict for the referendum.

There were 45.5 million people registered to vote in the referendum in 2016 and 28% of those registered voters didn't bother to turn up to vote. The leave vote equalled 17.4m voters. The remain voters equalled 16.1m voters. 13 million people didn't care enough to vote.

I’ve noticed Democrats here don’t seem to care about the environment like they used to, despite the occasional rumble about climate change. But ask to enforce an existing law against gas-powered leaf blowers near homes (as dirty as ~100 trucks) and they get angry. Doesn’t matter if the environment is ruined as long as an immigrant has a low paying job destroying their own health. That there are new solutions like electric tools or old ones like push brooms are not taken seriously.

Maybe it was always a very low priority, but didn’t realize it until recently.
I don't think that's right. JS Bach was pretty much forgotten until he was rediscovered by Mendelssohn. The key event was in 1823 or 1824. "Felix's maternal grandmother, Bella Salomon, presented him with a gift that was to alter the course of his life: a copyist's manuscript score of J.S. Bach's St. Matthew Passion... The score seized Felix's imagination. Despite Bach's generally unfavorable reputation at this time (he was regarded as little more than a musical "mathematician," a reference to what would eventually be recognized as his extraordinary use of counterpoint and musical symmetry) and the numerous difficulties presented by the score (i.e., its complexity and the unfamiliarity of its language), Felix nevertheless conceived the idea of preparing the entire St. Matthew Passion for performance."

And that started the process of JS Bach becoming known once again, eventually much more well-known than when he was alive. Bach was a genius, and probably the all-time greatest for counterpoint, but I think you're overstating his effect on the development of popular music.

I'd actually assert that the Beatles ultimately owe more to John Dowland (a songwriter active in the late 1500's to early 1600's) than to Bach.

I'm glad you agree about Miles though! :)

Not a medical professional, but that could easily be caused by something like a subdural hematoma.

I'm reminded of a talk at a science fiction convention years ago mostly targeted at writers (and done by a physician) - "Maim 'em Right." Basic message was that when writing injuries, make them realistic. If someone takes a blow to the head that knocks them unconscious for a significant amount of time, they're not resting for a day then getting up and going on to lots of exertion and winning the day. They're suffering from concussion, maybe subdural hematoma/brain bleed, etc.

Also discussion of TBI, including things like shaken baby syndrome - in the skull, the brain has a consistency somewhat more durable than thick jello. Get one of those brain jello molds available around Halloween, make a batch, then instead of unmolding it keep it sealed and give it a good shaking. THEN unmold it and see how much damage there's been.
Yeah, I'd used SendGrid's higher tier on other projects for years, as the send volume justified it. So, generally had the dedicated IP address.

They need to do a better job of managing their shared IP pool. As it is, they are offering paid plans that are unsuitable for many common use cases. Really, unless you have control of all possible receiving domains (e.g you're using it for an internal app), you're rolling the dice.

Else, at a minimum, they should disclose deliverability metrics on their various plans so customers can make informed choices. As it is, their marketing is deliberately misleading.

Thanks for the feedback on Postmark. I'll have another look at them.

EDIT: Just glanced at Postmark and they're already looking much stronger than SendGrid, and with much better pricing. The "deliverability without a dedicated IP" language seems to be directly aimed at providers like SendGrid. Are they able to live up to that promise?

Also like their policy around content retention.

Will be exploring switching costs.
