According to a survey from Pew, the number identifying as Christian is 63%. In 2007, the number was 78%.

For some reason it though it was closer to 50. Although, 63% is slightly closer to 50% than 80%, which was the number in the comment above I replied to.

The "actual" gold price is so much below the current price that it doesn't matter.

I would say that a non-small part of it's jewelry usages is either because of it's perceived value or wouldn't drive the price nearly as much, sure people would still buy gold jewelry if it would not be perceived as that expensive, but they wouldn't be willing to pay nearly as much as they do today.

As far as I can tell at least 50% maybe up to 90% of the value is "believe" based.

But that doesn't mean it's a bubble or anything like that, believe drives value all the time and can be long term stable, as seen in the history of gold. (Through gold wasn't always in that position, silver was in golds position before the western world ran into a major trade deficit with china and mined much more of it, similar there had been cultures where gold was see as nice looking but otherwise worthless gifting it away to colonialists, which lead to misunderstandings about the amount of gold available.)

I believe the JS criticism is more about the culture and ecosystem than the language itself. In short: Most if not all JS devs are more interested in playing with specific tools and APIs rather than dealing with and/or implementing programming patterns and principles. In the last decade "small modules" skyrocketed the popularity of NPM and a lot of people pushed the idea of "don't reinvent the wheel just 'npm install' everything" and sadly it stuck. Basically all JS-related discourse reduces down to "use X instead of Y!". It started with packages, then libraries, then frameworks, and now meta-frameworks – hell even meta-meta-frameworks if you count the people raving about Blitz. It's like that period when young devs couldn't tell the difference between jQuery and JS but way worse. So yes, in a way you are in fact cheating your way out of software engineering by installing neverthrow or whatever. I mean the language is already pretty damn high-level already.

I use UltraVNC Single-Click to help my dad. It just sits as a short-cut on his desktop that he can double-click to start. I also used it occasionally with clients back in my freelancing days.

Some of the things I liked about it are:

- Single, small exe for them to download and run.

- All the port-forwarding and such is done on my side, no having to configure their router.

- They have to initiate it. I can't connect to their computer (and spy) even if I wanted to. I like ensuring that level of autonomy as a minimum.

Fortunately, the UltraVNC viewer works under WINE, so I can run that in listening mode on my Linux PC, no problems.

>Getting to CO2 net zero involves moving those applications entirely to non-fossil electricity.

The necessary and sufficient condition for that is the cost of electric heating to consumer being lower than the cost of gas heating in both short and long term (i.e., a 5-year subsidy isn't it).

This requires a significant reshaping of our electricity generation. Everything else is a band-aid on an axe wound.

A federal tax on burning natural gas can make that shift happen, but will hit the poor people.

Finally, again, you can't shift to non-fossil electricity because you don't get to choose which electricity you shift to. As is, you're just going to burn more gas in a different place. The benefits of this rearrangement aren't obvious to me.

Something doesn't have to have scientific validity to be helpful. I don't agree with MBTI trying to make claims in the way that Big 5 does because it's rooted in more rigorous research. But it's also wrong to throw out models for this reason.

Is there scientific criticism towards things like tarot, astrology, crystals, and so on? Sure. But does that make it invalid if it's a personal framework that helps you? You can be interested in something and get something out of an area of interest without believing in it. For example if I do a tarot reading you may start to judge that activity and say, "This isn't real, this isn't science based, this isn't telling the future, you're wasting your time." But I'm not you and you're making assumptions about the reason I'd be doing it. I don't have to believe in any kind of inherent "mystical" properties of tarot in order to use it as a form of introspection to help my creative process. And that's something that's personal and of value to me.

I have trouble with social stuff because I'm autistic. MBTI gives me a framework to generalize interactions between people and a way for me to predict human behavior in a way that works for me. Is it perfect? No. I'm not claiming that. But there are patterns, and there are stereotypes, and by using it I've been able to predict social interactions and people's intentions/goals slightly better and it gives me comfort to use it.

This is a good example of a video that matches my views on the topic:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ea8SainI2o
The person who has this channel understands the limitations of MBTI and has expanded the framework further to work on its weaknesses.

Plug in batteries don’t last very long because they charge and discharge every day. Due to this they end up either costing several times as much manufacturing capacity as you’re assuming or they simply get driven as non plug in hybrids which makes them less efficient than EV’s.

Further ramping up battery production isn’t any kind of long term barrier, so plug end hybrids just result in less investment in battery manufacturing and thus slower adoption of EV’s.
BMW's and Porsche's PHEVs are pretty good, why other companies cannot follow the same formula (add batteries and electric motor to a regular car without crippling the existing drivetrain) is a mystery. It appears most want you to buy their BEV so they intentionally make PHEVs unappealing.

> Maybe it's different for people with AD(H)D than Asperger's, but I don't get it. There is nothing good with having a brain disability.

So what you want people who aren't average to consider themselves inferior? I don't know why people wouldn't be able to find good things or positives from a disability.

> People calling Asperger their "superpower" is laughable.

Asperger's looks pretty over-represented in the richest people in the world. Dyslexia is also over-represented. Bill-Clinton, Obama, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison were all not raised by their biological fathers. Plenty of other examples. Adversity can be a super-power.

Crypto investors raised $47M to buy a copy of the Constitution

Sure, it could be a fun thing to do (I'd have done a little treasure hunt for $50, too), but the professor's syllabus doesn't say it's $50 at all. "Free to the first who claims" -- claims what? free what? It isn't even a complete sentence, in the middle of boilerplate that's if anything exceedingly verbose. It doesn't parse like meaningful instructions. That's why I think it's a hokey gotcha, and not an actual sign of "people don't read instructions" (which we all instinctively know anyway??)
Most cryptos exist for themself, and you can't really just arbitrarily mint new BTC without the majority of miners agreeing on it.

And for BTC wether a new crypto is made or not doesn't really matter that much.
(Through it can, if it implicitly shakes the believe in BTC, which is quite unlikely.)

(Also some crypto currencies are build with different marked mechanism in mind, where minting new tokens is not just possible but expected/required.)

It's a simple formula, the CoP, I linked it in my above post.

The below PDF has a chart of temps to efficiencies. 47F will be around 100% efficiency or a CoP of 1. New York winter days are generally below that.

https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2017/04/f34/2_32219_...

That's a potential 40% energy loss. 20% at the plant, 20% at the house.

It all depends on the region's temperature. Electric heating is more efficient in some places, less efficient in some, and equal in some.

For New York, it does not make sense to use a heat pump:

> There are multiple libc implementations

You could make another SystemD implementation if you really wanted. The point is that there are plenty of APIs - even ones with a single implementation - that nobody bats an eye about programs having a "hard dependency" on, but suddenly for SystemD it's apparently a big issue?

It's bullshit technical excuses to hide the real reasons people object to SystemD, which are more embarrassing.

> Burning gas for cooking is more efficient than burning it to generate electricity and turn it back to heat in an induction stove.

Is it? Induction cooktop heating is quite efficient. Gas is extremely inefficient. Huge amounts of heat roll up the side of the pot/pan and into the air, to be blown outside by the hood vent.

There’s quite a bit of loss in generating and transmitting electricity but I am not sure it’s worse than gas cooktop efficiency.
I don't like it when folks generalize from a few subjective experiences. Mushrooms and LSD are powerful catalysts and one can never be sure of what one will experience.

Even McKenna had a bad trip on psilocybin that nearly broke him:

"Terence’s pivotal, existential crisis came abruptly, some time in ’88 or ’89. Everything that happened after that event was fallout. I don’t know exactly when it happened, and I don’t know exactly what happened; I am piecing it together from what Kat [his wife at the time] has told me, and she has volunteered few details, and I am reluctant to probe.

It happened when they were living for a time on the big island, and it was a mushroom trip they shared that was absolutely terrifying for Terence. It was terrifying because, for some reason, the mushroom turned on him. The gentle, wise, humorous mushroom spirit that he had come to know and trust as an ally and teacher ripped back the facade to reveal an abyss of utter existential despair. Terence kept saying, so Kat told me, that it was “a lack of all meaning, a lack of all meaning.” And this induced panic in Terence, and probably, I speculate, a feeling he was going mad. He couldn’t deal with it. Kat’s efforts to reassure him were fruitless. After that experience, he never again took mushrooms, and he took other psychedelics, such as DMT and ayahuasca, only on rare occasions and with great reluctance.

Whatever the specific content of the psychedelic experience might have been that triggered the cognitive collapse of Terence’s worldview and precipitated his existential crisis, what was most remarkable was that he did not see it coming. He did not see it coming."

I find AWS documentation to be one of the best out there. Consistent across all their products, very detailed and easy to navigate. I am curious what you found to be lacking in their docs.
yes, see:

and related neat usages in set based optimization methods in MathOptInterface (part of JuMP.jl):
https://matbesancon.xyz/post/2020-12-24-chains_sets2/
Control of content moderation, usage policies, and integration with their own internal support APIs I would guess.

Personally, I don't understand why they don't have an open-source documentation repository, given that a lot of their docs are garbage or hard to find... It's pretty well known that the boto3 / terraform etc. docs are a better place to find API documentation than AWS
That's a big part of my problem - as a generalist I know many things, but am not an expert on anything specific.

Taking on a focused role leads to disappointment and loss of self esteem.
How does that compare with the average day?
Very ominous but that's not true. There are plenty of healthy, functional kind individuals who are interested in people of all kinds. Photographers, good journalists... and people who simply are more empathetic to the life circumstances of someone.

Furthermore, if someone is interesting, for the majority of people there is a natural curiosity being piqued to learn more about that person. Nothing necessarily transactional.
I’m really early thirties and it resonates with me. I’ve been successful, but it’s hard not to look at any of the other paths I could have taken and wonder “what if.” Or, more precisely: what now?
True, but even China and India are moving to renewables rapidly. Renewables are absolutely exploding (confirmed even by the growth rate from your wiki reference) and will like replace most global fossil generation over the next 10-15 years.

> By 2026, global renewable electricity capacity is forecast to rise more than 60% from 2020 levels to over 4 800 GW – equivalent to the current total global power capacity of fossil fuels and nuclear combined. Renewables are set to account for almost 95% of the increase in global power capacity through 2026, with solar PV alone providing more than half. The amount of renewable capacity added over the period of 2021 to 2026 is expected to be 50% higher than from 2015 to 2020. This is driven by stronger support from government policies and more ambitious clean energy goals announced before and during the COP26 Climate Change Conference.

> The growth of renewables is forecast to increase in all regions compared with the 2015-2020 period. China remains the global leader in the volume of capacity additions: it is expected to reach 1200 GW of total wind and solar capacity in 2026 – four years earlier than its current target of 2030. India is set to come top in terms of the rate of growth, doubling new installations compared with 2015-2020. Deployments in Europe and the United States are also on track to speed up significantly from the previous five years. These four markets together account for 80% of renewable capacity expansion worldwide.

The "1/16 Cherokee" example seems to be clumsy adaptation of social techniques for trying to connect via commonalities. The intent counts for a bit. It certainly isn't effective or pleasing to the target, but it is an attempt to bridge and group-identify. That they aren't unconnected strangers with no link.

Arguably this a symptom of other conceptual issues (like needing genetic connections for kinship as opposed to universals). But it is a step of progress and a reason to educate rather than shun or scorn.
Oh my... what a New Year/Christmas present from KiCAD team! Thank you all the developers!
>> probably won't be a big telescope.

It will be another infrared telescope. Hubble's capabilities have been all but surpassed by ground-based optics. Some of the new giant telescopes already being built will easily surpass Hubble (100+foot mirrors etc). What JWST does is see in infrared, something that ground-based telescopes can never do as IR is absorbed by atmosphere. So whatever replaces JWST will likely be another, bigger, IR telescope.

>>With its 30m diameter prime-mirror, TMT will be three times as wide, with nine times more area, than the largest currently existing visible-light telescope in the world. This will provide an unparalleled resolution, with TMT images more than 12 times sharper than those from the Hubble Space Telescope.
Web developer for many years. Lost interest in CRUD apps because they’re mostly the same architecture with different content.

> most of the features you describe are now available in VsCode or available in very common and popular VsCode extensions.

The question is: which extensions are those? And do they work?

With IDEA all this is just bundled. And you reach for extra extensions for, well, extra stuff that's no core functionality. With VS Code I've found it's a glorified text editor that you have make work, maybe, and unreliably.
No, you cannot.

I'd advise you to fixup any forks on GitHub, e.g. https://github.com/fiatjaf/jiq/blob/master/LICENSE, which are currently in breach of license.

You'll need to inform anyone who forked your code, too.

This is something you agreed to in the following part of the license:

Agreed, this is how you end up with people hard-coding hundreds of iterations because they don't know what arrays or loops are. I think it's better to learn top-down and bottom-up simultaneously, by building your own projects as well as taking a more structured fundamentals course.
A model 3 performance does 0-60 in 3.2 seconds with some guys going faster on a track with sticky tires. Someone looking at a Benz (at least in the US) isn’t buying the base model 3.

The Benz starts at $54k in the US, that’s definitely model 3 performance territory.

Wow, this looks surprisingly slick and lightweight! (In terms of bloat, not in terms of file size of course, since it obviously uses Electron.) I normally use Sublime Text to edit Markdown files but I think I might give this a try!

Two questions (to anyone who's able to answer them):

- Is there a general-purpose (possibly configurable?) popup window to fuzzy-find files, search the command palette et cetera, like in Sublime/VS Code/IntelliJ? I've found this UI feature incredibly useful (as long as it's fast – IntelliJ, I'm looking at you!)

- Are there plans for creating a similarly neat-looking Android app? I've been using Writer Plus[0] for years but it's no longer being maintained and it does have a handful of annoying bugs.
