I don't particularly like PG&E but you're misrepresenting the situation. They have to lift a lot of "fingers" when it's sunny in order to keep their portion of the grid stable. Unlike base load power plants, the power supplied by household solar panels constantly fluctuates. Some sort of grid scale storage might eventually solve the problem but for today that doesn't exist.

Absolutely incorrect as per the article.

In a world were people are to lazy to read articles and believe silly stuff like a CEO would be happy to go to jail over manslaughter, I think we do need companies willing to do this.

The same holds true for x86, you want to build performance sensitive code on a machine with the same processor that will be used for running it.
Probably not. The characters are very dissimilar and have only one common attribute:

Differences:

- Mickey Mouse has small eyes, Sonic has big eyes.

- Sonic is blue, Mickey Mouse is black.

- Sonic has spiked hair, Mickey Mouse has big ears.

- Sonic has red pointy shoes, Mickey Mouse has yellow round shoes.

- Sonic has no shorts, Mickey Mouse has red shorts.

- Mickey Mouse has a mouse tail, Sonic has a stubby hedgehog tail.

- Sonic wears socks, not Mickey.

The only thing that's common is the fact both have white gloves.
To take the example of log4j, I can see this going two ways.

On the one hand, I've worked at a couple places that used homegrown logging, and it's been fine. They covered all the features I use/want out of a logging framework, in only a couple hundred lines of code. I suspect that both logging frameworks even had lower TCO than their respective platforms' name brand loggers, because the greater simplicity paid recurring dividends across the whole organization.

I suspect, sometimes, that arguments against DIY being too complex have an unstated major premise that you need to implement a significant fraction of the off-the-shelf library's features. In my estimation, it's more like 10%, and then the code is only maybe 2-3%, because you also don't need any of the code for managing how the features you do need interact with all the features you don't need.

On the other hand, it's not like not using something like log4j yourself is any protection from things like this. We don't use log4j where I work, but I've still had my hands full dealing with all the other software we use that relies on it.
That's for the stats feature that shows you e.g. your most guessed word, etc. It's all calculatated client-side. In fact, there is no backend at all!
> i have not seen these, i'm curious.

The original incarnation goes by the name of Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS), marketed by inivation, an ETH Zürich spinoff. Prophesee is another manufacturer with their own IP. I think Sony makes event-based camera's too; perhaps others as well (Samsung? or was it Huawei?)

They mimic the retina, each pixel emitting events ('spikes' if you wish) when luminance crosses a threshold. There is no frame clock, each pixel works asynchronously. The technology is known for extremely low latency, high temporal resolution and ultra-high dynamic range. Have a look ;)

That should be taken as a criticism. Security is critically missing from consideration in many designs.

In my experience, many teams have a "security" person that they rely on to make security judgements. That's broken. Security should be thought about by everyone, especially in a world with so many malicious actors (and growing)

Leaving Quora was also one of my own better moves. Like the OP, I had also been a Top Writer a couple of times. I had many of my own fans, some of whom still follow me on Twitter seven years later. I even have the fleece. But I got sick of features coming and going, staff jerking people around, and particularly the incessant promotion of flippant intelligence-free non-answers over well thought out real answers for the sake of engagement. Many of those answers clearly violated the site's stated rules (e.g. excessive use of irrelevant images) and got shown first contrary to user upvotes which I consider dishonest and unfair to people who actually try to contribute positively. So I just up and quit. Loudly. Even as a non-user, their cozy relationship with Google to boost their search rankings pisses me off. Everyone should quit Quora.
As possible explanation of the initial response, I understand the frustration as I get dozens of these 'how does Tuesday at 3', 'time for a call next week?', etc emails every week as part of sleazy companies' spam email drip campaigns to more than one of my email accounts. That said, continuing to send email to 30,000 suppressed email addresses means you need to spend some time cleaning out old emails from your list. I do this semi-regularly for the confirmed opt-in list for PortableApps.com which is sent via mailgun.
It is not necessary to create any extraneous data structures to do OP's one-liner. This creates n+1 new arrays that must be garbage-collected.
Just look here: https://github.com/dtolnay?tab=repositories

David Tolnay have 89 repos and if you are doing any Rust work at all the chances are high that you would have dozen of them in your dependency chain.

Would merging of them help security? I don't think so: most of these crates are useful but they are quite diverse and it doesn't make much sense to put them into one package.
The thing I like about passing objects around is that the state inside the object is opaque :). Thus when changes to the internal details of Person happen, the behavior of which is depended on by Inbox and Message, as long as I have properly depended on its public behavior, I don't need to change anywhere else. If I was just using plain data values as is common in e.g. Clojure, every change to something's internal representation would require changes to places which depend on it.
I and many people I’ve met irl through book clubs etc use it; I find reading my friends’ reviews interesting and I’ve gotten good recommendations through it.

If you’re just looking at the top reviews for a book it’s more questionable; they tend toward the extremes: enraptured encomiums about how beautiful and important and bold the book is, or insult-laden rants where the book is a whipping post for the reviewer to show off what a biting sense of humor they have.

I don’t know. I read Ender’s Shadow before Ender’s Game, and felt like Shadow was a much better book. It’s been a while, but as I recall it runs parallel to Ender’s Game and goes into much more depth regarding the difficulties and anguish Ender endures.
Personally I hate when articles are in the feed in full. I'd much rather be able to open the articles I want to read in tabs in a browser, and skip past the ones I'm not interested in (marking them as read when I do so). I'd rather have a title, URL, and maybe a short summary in the RSS feed.

Largely from a B2B perspective.

Marketing is product. If your product is a mess no one will buy. Most products are a mess. Get your funnels and acquisition flows right, but get what happens after conversion right as well. If you spend $100 getting a customer to convert and then they churn because the product is a mess you’re burning huge piles of cash - and depending on your product your customer base might be small enough in the early stages that word gets around.

Marketing is about onboarding. If customers can’t get significant value wins quickly then there’s no point sending them to your product.

Marketing is incremental. Yes, you want to drive thousands of people to your product right now because the numbers mean that X thousand eyeballs means n customers. You’ll feel pressure to do this; going too early is as bad as not going hard enough at the right time.

Marketing is price strategy. Your product is too cheap which makes people think it is disposable and has little value. Your product is too cheap which means you can’t afford marketing and support. Your product is too cheap which means you hit a problem in six months time when you have to put up your prices.

Marketing is simplicity. If you need three lines to explain something that’s probably two lines too many.

Marketing is your brand voice. I see far too many startups playing buzzword bingo rather than trying to communicate in a clear and authentic way about their product.

Marketing is them, not you. If you spend time telling people why your product is great they won’t listen; it’s like writing films: show, don’t tell.

Marketing is leadership and knowing how to get people to coalesce around your vision and how to nudge people towards decisions so that they think your best ideas are their own.

Marketing is obsessing over the right shade of yellow, or the right typeface - but knowing that getting it done well enough now is better than doing it perfectly tomorrow.

Marketing is about having a replicable toolkit that gets done what you need to get done and absolute fluency in those tools. Find the right tools and learn to use them in a way that lets you bend them to do what you need to do. Less is more. Complexity is death.

Marketing is about defining and understanding when the needle is moving, and ignoring bullshit metrics.

And marketing is about tying together a bunch of glib truisms in the hope that people feel like you know what you’re talking about.

Are devs somehow cheating at these games made for retro consoles? They look so much nicer than games made during the console's era.
Yep. It's funny how so many anime follow this sort of "tropy premise with backstory strip-tease" formula, where they start out in a well-worn theme, but then gradually reveal a dark backstory. Madoka Magica is the absolute pinnacle of the form, each new revelation being as staggering as the last, and yet it never feels opaque and cryptic like Evangelion, and it all makes perfect sense together at the end.

Trigun is another show that does it well. It's a sci-fi western that slowly reveals the origins of the hero and the villain and the philosophical underpinnings of their conflict, as well as the miserable desert planet all the characters live on.

Elfenlied does the same with harem animes, but nobody should ever watch Elfenlied.
How can you account for the millions of Americans who have died over the past 50 years due to lack of medical care? How about the millions of Vietnamese people killed in their own country fighting for independence from colonial rule? How about all those innocent people killed by the USA in the Middle East?

The problem with all that and the people you mentioned is authoritarianism, not their preferred way of organizing production.

In the USA post-McCarthy “communism” was understood as synonymous with authoritarian communism. But authoritarian communism does not and has never represented the whole of communist thought. There have always been libertarian communists also called anarchist communists, as Peter Kropotkin identified himself in his famous 1892 book.

If you think all communism leads to authoritarianism then of course you would oppose it. But isn’t is the case that capitalism is just as susceptible to authoritarian control, as we see when the USA overthrows governments to secure cheap oil and a pliable labor force?

We can an must oppose authoritarianism in all its forms.

But you’re getting hung up on terms. I’m sure if I told you I want to marshall resources from donors to build a facility that makes automated meals for everyone, you’d be supportive. It is only when I say that every person deserves this regardless of their ability or desire to work that you will get concerned.

In the words of Hélder Câmara: “When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.”
Second point is good. For first point, they might be getting their healthcare included via work, so their hidden compensation is higher. Or perhaps they're taking a risk, which is certainly possible, but not a great way to have a stress-free retirement.

I think the concern with soldering goes beyond just cost. Vibrations and micro-gravity do have a lot of concerns when it comes to shorting and other reliability issues.
I agree pro-active replacement offers the best chance to decarbonize and the best way to do that is with financial assistance. Ideally I'd like to see carbon pricing to dis-incentivize people from burning fuels and then that revenue used to fund programs to electrify low income families and rentals where the person paying for utilities isn't necessarily in control of what heat source is in use.

The Canadian federal government has started a green home grant program that offers up to $5000 back on certain energy efficiency upgrades like windows, insulation, air sealing, pv panels, and heat pumps. We do also have carbon pricing. It's not perfect, but it's a good start.

My house is roughly 100 years old and I've signed up. Getting this house close to modern insulation standards is going to be at least an order of magnitude more than 5k, but I'm using it as motivation to navigate the complex work of home renovations.

My plan is to spray foam the whole house for insulation and air sealing, install a heat recovery ventilator, and switch to a heat pump, likely a couple mini-splits throughout the house. My dream would be to switch to hydronic in-floor heat with an air-to-water heat pump so that I could store heat when electricity is cheap, but that might explode the budget too much.

Here in Ontario our grid is very low carbon (especially at off-peak times) since it's mostly hydro and nuclear with some gas plants for peak demand. I won't get much carbon reduction with personal PV, so I think I'm better off keeping the budget lower or increasing the efficiency to reduce the ongoing utility costs.

Not to be offensive, but -- first world problems: where did you find a new graphics carts, for starters?

Now, a bit more on a serious tone: this is all bleeding edge. And combining multiple recent development together is a recipe for corner cases and untested combinations.

That said, did you try Variable Refresh Rate with that? Bur reduction technologies (backlight strobing) are also interesting, but thankfully they require little software interaction (for now).
> Apple will be seen as a visionary for optimizing the car manufacturing process (no more designing for multiple types of configuration types, can buy all parts in bulk, ...).

There are two types of product in the computing world: shameless ripoffs of Apple products and rough prototypes for some future Apple product.

Guess this would make the Model T the "rough prototype" for the Apple Car...

Ford even used to make Apple-like demands of his supply chain. He insisted that parts be shipped in crates conforming to specific, peculiar dimensions. The suppliers were baffled by the request -- why those dimensions? Until a supplier representative looked down at the floor of a Model T one day... the crates had been broken down to form floorboards for the car.
> But I can't think of an instance of such cancellations and closures occurring for overnight storms.

Yes, this article points out some of the very reasons why overnight tornadic activity is much more common (and deadly) on the "edges" of (the expanding) tornado alley (the Southeast US and the states such as Indiana and Ohio often referred to as "midwest" for historic reasons rather than accurate geographic ones) than more centrally in it (Texas, Oklohoma, most of the rest of the Great Plains) where daytime storms are more common.

I'd reluctantly agree with you if it was safe to 'log.debug("{}", data)'. My understanding, though, is that is also impacted.

Interesting. Although I'm a developer, I was forced to take some sales training courses when I worked for Xerox. Imagine spending three weeks in a hotel suite in El Segundo with thirty salesmen & programmers.

The essence of what Xerox taught was: to sell, find out what problems your customer has, and figure out how your product/service can help him/her solve the problem. That's it.

Xerox was very good at sales.
It is not that subjective. It is simply more probable to survive as a homeless person (not a person prepared to camp, a person without means to properly clothe themselves or a drug addict or otherwise mentally unwell) outside in Seattle than Montreal. It barely ever snows in Seattle, the temperatures do not go below freezing, and there is low humidity so there is less heat loss hence it feels much warmer than the same temperature in Montreal.
Ah, I meant it in the sense that Major, compared to many... other creations even from the same time, felt more punk/counterculture in that approach, fitting also with how Section 9 pretty much didn't give a crap about things like dress code (other than poor boss needing a suit for meeting other suits)
Couldn't agree more. In the end security is a critical specification just as the intended use. So then why is this kind of thinking not pushed harder? Its at least as critical as program correctness testing in the end and should therefore be treated similarly.
It does matter, because it helps to think about how to prevent these things in the future.

Thank you. It appears Gcc won't put two cmov writes to memory in a block. Thus,

void swap_if(bool c, int& a, int& b) {
int ta = a, tb = b;
a = c ? tb : ta;
b = c ? ta : tb;
}

is very slow, under Gcc, when c is poorly predicted, as is typical when e.g. partitioning for quicksort. But how well it will be predicted depends on input data.

I'm not great at gifts but the thing I've learned is, consumables. Chocolate, wine, your bath bomb, fancy cookies, etc. They're fairly universal, won't run into the "already have it" problem, and don't leave the recipient feeling like they now need to hold onto something forever or risk offending you. You may not score a direct hit but generally if you know people at all you can't go too far wrong.

The sequels that stop tracking so close to the original is where it takes off. I still prefer the original but it didn't feel like a simple re-make at that point.
