The person I was responding to said the difference was impossible to notice on public roads. I gave an example of a situation where it is noticeable and everyone decided that I meant it was a situation where it’s necessary (despite explicitly saying that it isn’t necessary).

I make light self-deprecating conversational jokes about being autistic. "My autism is freaking out at the lack of specificity here, can you help with more concrete language?" For people who understand autism, they get it, and for the people who don't they think I'm just using the word casually like people who joke about having OCD.
You really designed a chip at uni? I think mine uni was a rip off then.

this is something that I've thought about for a long time

I would say that if you delve deep enough that everybody, including every great person has had issues (some more and some less) and these have to been seen in the context of the time. But even if say for example Eistain was an evil person (I doubt it) or Chirchill a rasict person etc... should this matter?

Should this distract from their achievement and contribution to human society??

The vast majority of gynecology procedures are scheduled - the fact that they don’t intend to do pain management and therefore don’t plan so that anesthetists are available is an effect of not doing pain management, not a cause.
You're missing my point - in the context of the article the issue is not upgrading the panels, it would be replacing the entire current electrical infrastructure. I'm not claiming it's insurmountable. The point is that these changes will increase the cost of housing, which will make people sprawl, the very same sprawl that will decrease the efficiency of the very same things we're talking about.

There's a political, economic and cultural balance to be struck here, technology changes notwithstanding.

Putting the wrong info in a file doesn't change the copyright ownership.
I'm sure people will disagree, but I've always viewed the main benefit of cloud is a company with no talent or time to do networking / infrastructure early on, so they use the cloud, which requires less expertise. Once they grow and can afford network / infrastructure talent, the switching costs are hard to justify, even with the 3x markup (according to the article).

I can see why it's compelling, but for me running my stuff on other people's servers in this day and age is concerning. Like many computing things, it really depends on the situation.

This comment may come out wrong, but it is intended as an honest question (at the end) on this topic (whether it be autism or ADHD)...

Speaking only for my self, my own perceptions, and very little knowledge or understanding of what such a diagnosis _actually_ means, I think the biggest "issue" (or misunderstanding) I have is with respect to how it "dumbed-down" to non professionals.

I liken most of the comments I hear - and read (online, in news/articles) - about autism to those of astrology: literally these are traits that describe every last person who has ever lived. It's just a matter of what side of the bed you happened to wake up on that day. For example, I literally just googled "autism symptoms" and the first link is to the CDC, which quickly summarized the following (highlighting a few).

And before I list these, please know I'm not knocking or attempting to belittle the following items as opposed to noting what myself - and likely many, many others - initially think when they hear something phrases like those being written in an article or stated by a "random" parent.

* Avoids or does not keep eye contact - literally so many people I know who just aren't very assertive or are extra shy

* Does not share interests with others - so, only children who grow up learning to play alone?

* Lines up toys or other objects and gets upset when order is changed - I dislike things in my house not being symmetric, so what?

* Plays with toys the same way every time - kids _love_ repetition

* Has obsessive interests - like me and programming at age 6?

* Must follow certain routines - most kids thrive off routine and schedules

Then there's an entire list of things that parents likely should never look at because they're mind will instantly jump to "my kid has autism" and think they should be treated special:

* Delayed <insert whatever skill here> - everyone develop and different rates

* Usually eating/sleeping habits - seriously? as compared to...?

* Constipation - really?

* Lack of fear or more than expected - so pretty much "different than me?"

I'm HONESTLY ASKING what people who have this condition (or parents/siblings of them) would like those of us who only have these dumbed-down snippets to know about them and think about instead? If I can train myself to think of X whenever I hear symptom Y then I think things will be better. But right now, the best I can do is just remind myself "what do I know?" and try and be helpful.

The cost is enormous for older houses. It's prohibitive for most people, thus my advocacy for incentives. We did a lot of the work as part of larger renovations, but I'd expect for most homes the cost to convert all the gas appliances to electric and bring everything up to code is at least $30-40k. If you're adding solar and home batteries to that, then even more. We're probably in >$100k gross, though we've taken advantage of probably $30k in incentives for solar and batteries.

The batteries are the backup. Keeping gas service "just in case" comes with it's own risks in terms of leaks, and where I live, with major earthquakes. Disconnecting it means I don't have to worry about that, or pay the $4/mo minimum to keep it active.

I believe this is the future we need if we're serious about eliminating CO2 emissions. It's not just power plants and cars - my house put out just as many emissions in the winter as my car did. Probably more. In a world where we're getting CO2 to zero there's no place for gas appliances. We need everyone to accept that, and it's going to take a while.
I got my start in programming in the early 2000s with Perl and, shortly after, PHP. I went through school mainly with C++ and Java and got a job as a .NET developer after.

I say all this because I fucking hated JavaScript with a passion. From the time of my initial foray into programming until my later years, I hated it. It was always a joke of a language that, honestly, caused me to develop such a bias that I nearly refused to use it, for a very long time.

Several months ago I decided to put my prejudices aside and began playing around with Nodejs and React. The main motivation was trying to learn more about front end development and guess what? I really enjoy JavaScript.

JavaScript is a very enjoyable language to play with. It has come such a long way despite, literally, all odds. The ecosystem is scattered. The build system is the most hacky monstrosity you’ve ever encountered. But, that’s one of the reasons I love it. It feels like the essence of what I feel when I imagine hacking.

And not only that, it uses a unique (at least to the paradigms I’m used to) execution model that is very performant.

These are just a lot of words for me to say I love JavaScript.
What about cost, though?
Sure, but none of the classes of bugs you mention contain Log4Shell.

That’s a big misconception. Latest generation heat pumps can work well even in very cold climates eg Lake Tahoe. The “fixes” needed to make that work aren’t that dramatic eg a bit of pre-heating of some parts with regular electric heating elements.

It's common where area or performance are paramount, since it performs better than an equivalent (binary) counter in silicon. The Numerically Controlled Oscillator in the Apple M1 that is used to generate audio sample rates uses an LFSR as its first stage clock divider, and the driver has to load the right LFSR initializer value directly. It was fun working that one out. They use an LFSR because the input clock is a rather fast 1GHz or so, and dividing that down requires a bit of optimization.

There are some 4-bit CPUs that use an LFSR as the program counter, so the ROM gets stored in pseudorandom order.

It's fun how the lowest tech chips and the highest tech chips both end up resorting to the same old techniques, isn't it? :)

Platform or Platform as a Service? Scriptable implies code, but platforms can be extended via config, no code UIs, code, or something else. It’s very popular in enterprise software where a base product can be sold but extended by customers to match their specific business processes. Salesforce is a prime example of this.
They will always find a way to break it and make you come over to fix it anyways.

R5RS scheme can be quick to pick up because it's very small. What is it, 50 pages or so? Doing anything useful requires extended study and practice, but that's true of practically any language.

Of the popular languages I'd say python or ruby, where python is probably easier to pick up. I hate saying that because I'm very partial to ruby.

I wouldn't say javascript is fast to learn. It's a popular language and will be with us for many years to come. The hard part is avoiding the many traps, a skill which requires time to learn.

>I cannot say that my life in USSR was any kind of bleak or depressing

Of course it wasn't. People didn't know many grim things about the country they lived in because their information intake was carefully designed to exclude anything negative about the USSR and the Communist Party. They believed they live in "the greatest country in the world". The decades-long propaganda has produced so profound and long-lasting impact that many people in post-Soviet countries (especially in Russia) born in the Soviet times still long for that feeling, 30 years after the collapse of the USSR.

Share buybacks and the rising valuation of of companies and real estate seems to make it pretty clear that big corporations and a lot of high wealth people have more money than they can invest into productive things like innovation and instead have to drive up the price of already existing assets.
I really don't see how a job you're being forced to do at inconvenient times has to be more important than a job that doesn't.

I have a friend that worked in a insulation manufacturing company, the oven would never be shut-off because of the time it takes to start it up again, it's cheaper to let people run it 24/7.

Just because something is time critical doesn't mean it's important.

> Balance of payments data show that U.S. firms repatriated $777 billion in 2018, roughly 78 percent of the estimated stock as of end-2017 of offshore cash holdings

This is good for the U.S. economy compared to leaving it overseas. Even if it goes into share buybacks, higher asset prices mean businesses can afford to raise capital more cheaply and asset holders (retirees) gain an influx of cash.

There's no real reason offshore cash holders would invest their excess cash. If they could do so profitably and sustainably then they would've sold bonds at insanely low rates already to fund those projects. Creating more jobs is not as simple as tossing more money at the problem.
TFA describes a nice distinction. A value like lightens exists as a ramp of intensity, bound at each end by zero and one. Hue, on the other hand, is effectively a range of differences, each blending to the other. I can think of few other phenomena which are measured in this way. Personality type is the only one which comes to mind.
Share buybacks increase the company share price because they decrease the pool of available shares.

Corporate Executives often derive a significant percentage of their total bonus earnings when the share price goes up, so they have a huge incentive to spend the money they repatriated on share buybacks to line their own pockets via large bonuses.

I agree that heat is more challenging in climates like yours. But it's not impossible. Extreme insulation and smart energy management goes a long way (check out passive houses), and if thermal is really needed natural gas is not our only option. Do trees grow near you? Grind them up and burn them, they're carbon neutral. Better yet, geothermal heat pumps which I'm hopeful will become more cost effective in the near future.
> The people chasing him were responding to what they thought was an active shooter situation

Even if we assume that they actually thought that, they attacked someone who they had no reason to believe was involved in said "active shooter situation." The most favorable interpretation is that they were vigilantes who attacked with deadly force.

If Rittenhouse had chased down someone you agreed with politically, claiming "an active shooter situation", you'd want his head.

That hit me hard. I am not in the same position at all but can feel what it must feel like.

> until a new type of electric heating is invented/popularized, there will be higher costs

I wouldn't be surprised if electric heat pumps were already cheaper to operate than gas furnaces in many places. Especially in temperate areas like Menlo Park. They are being installed all over the American south.

In areas where people want air conditioning anyway, upgrading to a unit that heats as well is a minor expense.

NYC has more people then all of Norway. So any redundancy Norway has needs to be scaled to account for that.

I would be curious though; as where i grew up in the upper midwest USA, there were always concerns of ice-storms or blizzards knocking out power lines. I'd assume norway would have similar concerns so i wonder how the problem is solved there.
it had happened before, and there were reports warning about it happening again. Texas made the choice to not winterize their utilities despite them.

The water heater and stove should work in a power outage. Gas water heaters shouldn't use any electric, and stoves are easily lit with a match or lighter.
Part of the issue I see overlooked is the cost of acquiring and losing physical assets. If you have an onsite data center and a meteor hits it, how bad off are you?

Disclaimer, I barely passed my aws associates cert and have 0 qualifications to weigh in on this subject with any authority. It's just a point I've seen glossed over before. Yeah your data center is cheaper to run, but is it cheaper to replace?
1. Muti-zone heating does cost more than central hvac. Central heat pumps are like $5k more and you won't need gas installed or pay the plumber to run lines.
2. 200amps is common now and $200 more than 100 amp. Ovens and heat pump waters heaters need the 200amp panel. Plus size, more breakers than older homes for dedicated appliances.
3. Rated breaker is sized for 80% max load, 2 50 amp breakers != 100 amps. Stoves are an exception for NEC reasons.
4 What homes are built with a gas only, no electricity needed heating? We had a 2 week electricity outage in our area and some water heaters need a fan for the vent pipe.
5. Electricity usage has dropped so we are consuming less KwH and high efficiency hvac systems also use less.

If you are worked about power outages, a <$1,000 gasoline generator would power essentials for one room.
Given that you have to infer meaning from context (which can be subjective; in this case, are you being snarky or not? (Not so, but there is ambiguity)), it is better to assume good faith in the question and respond directly. It lacks sophistication, but minimizes cross-talk as much as is feasible.
> Does looking at a pull request without a CLA "taint" me in a way that I cannot implement it again?

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm under the impression that if someone wants to sue you for IP infringement over something like this, they can. Doesn't mean they'll win, but that can still cost you time and money defending yourself.

If you do look at the code, I'd make sure your implementation is far from how the contribution was implemented.

Here's what IP Watchdog says[1]:

> Copyrights cover the actual “expression” of an idea, but not the idea itself. In other words, it covers the lines of code but not the functions that they perform. The functions can be protected as trade secrets, or they can be patented. Sometimes it’s difficult for someone unfamiliar with IP law to separate the functionality from the expression in source code. This so-called “dichotomy between idea and expression” is particularly confusing with respect to software, and was addressed in the case Whelan Associates v. Jaslow Dental Laboratory and then again in Computer Associates v. Altai.

The article[1] then expounds upon literal and nonliteral copying and how it applies to source code.
