I don't think I'm in a position to. I'm not management, and I'm not one of the rock star engineers. Those are the people who would have the sway to either encourage or discourage this sort of thing.
I'd love to see LA get a GWHr++ energy storage battery inside the city limits. They could trickle charge at will and supply cheap power 24/7. LA could have the cheapest power in the NA this way. It would revitalize manufacturing.

There's a lot of people who think that parking should be annoying, because driving is evil and you need to be punished for wanting to do it.
In Australia Gas is so expensive, we found it was cheaper to just put an electric heater in every room we wanted to heat. The only thing we on gas now is the cook top, so we plant to replace that as well.
It does not (that I’m aware of). But the idea of banning gas, or replacing it with renewable gas obviously survives only on the climate benefit. New construction shouldn’t use gas at all obviously, but in existing buildings the CO2 issue will remain. That’s where biogas could be used until they are converted.
They renamed it to Streamlabs Desktop. Streamlabs Studio is a separate (newer) product.

Frankly, I'm not.

I think this conversation is actually the responsibility of the GP's boss, not the GP. If the GP is really confident in the existing culture, then in my opinion they should approach their boss with their concerns.
> "My "real" advice for impatient programmers: just start programming, and every time you encounter a problem google it."

In my experience, this is a terrible advice. However, many of my students follow this advice over my protests and only a handful of them actually learn anything at the end of a long masters program.
idea: next time you get asked to do leetcode, tell them they can join your livestream where you work on your own project.

Horrid. Try to use Athena + Glue + S3 and the fun is guaranteed. Add GDRP and least privileges principle to the mix and there is even more fun.
Better to use the batteries than hauling around mostly unused batteries all the time.
> Getting to fusion plasma power breakeven IS the hardest part.

I believe the engineering after that is harder, and likely intractable.
I assume your equipment was working - why did you replace? If for environmental reasons I feel like removing working appliances is counterproductive (especially since you have solar and battery storage and so you basically wouldn't use electricity otherwise). If for cost, I'd imagine the renovation break-even point would take years, if not longer.

Heat pump or resistive? Not familiar with Australia, is the electricity sourced from gas or coal, or something else?
That problem could be attributed to the tragedy of the Commons.

Claiming you don't work well in an open plan office and being taken at face value would lead to literally everyone saying that, because surprise, most people don't work well in open plan offices (I'm very neurotupical and I hate it).

Another way to look at it is that we've evolved as a society to go out of our way to try to accomodate people with different needs when necessary. Being given an office if you have ADHD is great. Try to go back 100 years and you'd be fired from the factory instead for not being a perfect cog in the machine.

So it's actually beautiful we are able and willing to accomodate others, when for most of history that wasn't the case at all.
Why is Copilot any different from a human doing essentially the same thing? Complete originality doesn't exist. I think the people who are complaining about Copilot have likely done the same thing themselves. I can't erase the memory of all the code I have read and written that somebody else 'own' the copyright to, so my brain will subconsciously use copyrighted code when writing software.
This is good, hopefully it makes it easier for internal team members to communicate with customers to resolve issues - the internal system has been very cumbersome
I wish I read more touching stories like this on HN. These are the stories that bring meaning to life. Keep on remembering and keep on sharing. Have a wonderful Christmas holiday.
The problem is that China doesn’t allow for central heating south of the Yangtze. So my coldest winter ever was spent in a small town in south Hunan, where it was above freezing but the lack of indoor heating really beats you down, kotatsus not withstanding. A friend of mine has parents who migrate to “northern” China in the winter so they don’t freeze to death.

Japan had a similar problem being previously not very rich (they invented kotatsu for that reason).
The message I replied to was about performance, not range. PHEVs do not have 300 miles electric range, even BMW. I have an 45e and have no problems with it: it fully charges in ~7 hours, I drove about 6K miles last year and filled total 5 times (not full tanks, I live in an apartment building with shared chargers that go out of order for weeks so I fill up when charger is broken and I have less than 1/4 tank), it still has 90% of tank filled in the early November.
This is effectively what CTE style syntax gives you. I always find them more intuitive for intermediate to advanced queries for exactly this reason. They’re also much easier for another reader to later come in and deduce what the query is doing.
Hmm. Recently I started writing a simple vim-style text editor from scratch because, to support some weird ideas I have, I need a text editor built on a piece table. And it turns out vis is built on a piece table...
Some us _like_ working. If mu team doesn’t want to check-in thats fine but I dont mind getting shit done at 4am or on weekends. Heck I am on a three week vacation right now and I have been working on a prototype I plan to show off when I get back in the New Year.

My team is under no obligation to keep up with me, but Im not going to lower my performance for them.
I'd bring it up with your boss, but don't push the issue. Management sets culture. If your boss takes no action, that's that; maybe brush up your resume.
Because EVs that charge from solar energy can park in hammerspace instead of needing to use real-world parking spaces like ICE cars do.
I don't mean to digress, but you seem like an interesting individual and I have several questions that you might be able to answer:

1) What was your first computer? Was it a Russian clone or a smuggled American or European one?

2) What was the USSR BBS scene like? What BBS software was in common use at that time?

3) Were you ever familiar with OGAS or latter-day Soviet/Russian equivalents to ARPANET?

4) Seeing as you were in Physics, did you ever meet the famous figures like Landau or tour areas like Dubna?
That is probably an issue - suspect developers ultimately are going to pick the cheap-for-them version. (Probably what happened in my case)
I think AWS has become the walmart of tech, or at least how I view walmart via popular media as an outsider of America. I don't know exactly what it is, but the vendor lock-in (in this case community lock-in), the extravagant and insular corporate events and tiers of users, the endless attempts at making everyone into a cog for their machine, the complete lack of self-awareness (from them and their evangelists) at how corporate-dystopian and drab they come across.

In my opinion, don't give Amazon a second of your free time unless they're paying you.
In my experience usually the people who do that are loners. They crave the interaction and use work related channels ro do that, with the plus of getting positive feedback from being a hard worker. Hard thing to defuse.
"Hyper-Structured Graphics" --

This was new to me, thanks!

Essentially, hyperlinks for shapes; any graphic element can be linked to another, including other drawings (documents) or sections of a document.

I suppose that's obvious these days. Hyperlinks are expected.

I know that Visio (Windows) and OmniGraffle (MacOS) can do this. I would build active computer network diagrams, dashboards: you could click on a computer's graphic and get an SNMP report.

SNMP: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Network_Management_Pr...

https://www.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/visio/flowchar...

I think MacDraw did links, too. HyperCard, sure.
Yeah, that sounds exactly like something that would generalize to a big city.
The main worry I have at this point is that while moving towards electric is great, we're not addressing all the problems we need to for that to work.

America's electric grid is in a bad state, and unless we also start improving it quickly, the extra load is going to cause problems.

Take California for instance. We're adopting electric vehicles rapidly, pushing for everyone to convert all their appliances and home systems to electric, and the increasing temperature is driving up air conditioning load every year. At the same time, our power distribution is falling apart and we have rolling blackouts throughout the state at the hottest point of the year. Not to mention that we're operating at a large energy deficit because of the shuttering of fossil fuel and nuclear plants before the renewable generation has even broken ground. By GWh, most of the under construction generation capacity in CA are natural gas turbines. While a major improvement over coal, it's still two orders of magnitude more CO2 produced per GWh compared to the nuclear plants they're replacing or the renewable plants we said we were going to build.
>My landlord replaced my gas stove with an induction stove (with convection oven), and it is without question the nicest oven I've ever used. Even the broiler is somehow terrific.

After a gas leak during renovations in my building, rather than pay for inspections of the gas infrastructure, my landlord replaced my (and all the other tenants') gas stove with a used (not refurbished) electric stove that broke immediately and repeatedly until it was finally replaced with a new electric stove after five years -- after the managing agents were replaced.

Even with the brand new electric (not induction) stove, it's still significantly inferior to the 25+ year-old gas stove.

That's the other side of the coin for renters.
The stove may be 100% efficient.

Thermal electricity genetation is at best 60% efficient, and transmission losses add a couple percent.

Do you suppose that gas stove wastes a lot of heat when heating a pot that stands on it?
Yes, I'll add WikiLens [1] and Dendron [2] as VSCode extensions if you want to reuse an existing editor, or other apps like Bear [3] and Roam [4].

I sometimes wish we would just burn it all and call it a day. It would be a disaster but it's already one anyways.

Just burn it all so some rich people get richer and then are out of a job because there is nothing left
>"Thanks for making me aware of this opportunity. Sounds boring. Good luck in your continuing candidate search."

Well this made my day. I usually ignore recruiters since everytime i tried telling them that i'm looking for something else, they either keep insisting to have a call or they forget about me for a few days and then start sending the same things.

I think this will be my new response for recruiters :)
Honest question (I am totally ignorant about these things): If you did this, would you be able to accept patches from the community on the open core? Or would releasing your proprietary code violate the GPL of the coder who sent the patch?
How do you maximise self consumption of the electricity generated by your solar panels ?

Or do you not care because you’ve installed massive batteries?
To avoid the thundering herd use an exponential backoff with some jitter.
Any power vented gas water heater will require electricity to function correctly.
More modern gas ranges will too, if they support child safety features, such as range lock-out, which may be required in some locales.

Same goes for gas fireplaces that do not have a standing pilot and electrically actuated valves, which many newer appliances have.
> The FSF doesn't even support the use of the term "FOSS".

Personally I use "FOSS" as shorthand for FSF's definition of "free software". If that's misleading, then I guess I should stop using it. Would you happen to have a link to a blog post or something about this?

> They support the idea of libre software. The broader "open source" community is much larger than the FSF or RMS.

I'm not talking about the "open source" community. There's a difference between free software and open source software.

It's obvious that I'm not talking about "open source" here, otherwise it'd suggest that I think FSF and RMS are the only ones writing open source software. I can't even imagine a situation where someone could be led to believe that, especially on HN.

> The GPL is the third most popular FOSS license.

Regardless of what you mean by "FOSS" here, how is that statistic relevant to the discussion?
We don't have heat-only heat pumps, we have cooling-only air conditioning.
All hotels have to report their guests to the local PSB, but some smaller hotels don’t (rules aren’t that enforced in China), but will avoid foreign guests because they easily bring attention from authorities. You can get away without reporting to the PSB in some way out places (like a hostel in the middle of nowhere I stayed in that lacked electricity beyond a simply hydro wheel), but those are rare, and not in big cities.

The rooms aren’t bugged. Most foreigners aren’t that special. Maybe they will big some special hotel that gets lots of diplomats? But most of us won’t stay in those.
This looks like an interesting concept, but at no point did the press release mention the actual savings in terms of space requirements of such a system compared to a classical one - making it feel like the difference might be not that big as they're trying to imply it.
There absolutely are, or at least were. I attended a computer security competition in Shanghai in 2016, and the organizers told us explicitly that they’d obtained an exemption to get unfiltered internet access at the site. It was indeed unfiltered - Google and such worked fine - and an IP test showed us connecting from a Chinese ISP (so, not a VPN).

As this was about five years ago, the situation may well have changed, but at the time exemptions definitely were possible.
Those who live by the sword die by the sword.

You can't support the government's policies on whistleblowing and suppression of 'unpopular' journalists like Assange and others, and then complain that the government's actions are affecting you too.

Tough titties, NYT. Perhaps you should redevelop some journalistic ethics. Probably too late for you though, now.
You usually require them to assign copyright back to you so you can still use it in your proprietary version.
You can convince the i3 to believe it's a European car which increases the range extender's utility dramatically. You can unlock more fuel as well as have the generator turn on whenever you want (as opposed to at only very low SOC), largely mitigating hills.
One model that's worked for me, at least for desktop software, is to release an AGPLv3 core and minimum version that works on Linux, and charge for Windows and macOS versions that are proprietary.

If you go the route of using an (A)GPL core, make sure all 3rd party contributions are made under the terms of your CLA, or otherwise reject them.

I've carpooled in a Prius and a Honda Civic Hybrid. Both of those cars seemed to be extremely capable of accelerating to pass other cars on the freeway. I was riding in the Prius one time and my friend was complaining about the Prius being slow, when we got stuck behind a car going 60 mph. Beep boop, he idly jumped up to 80, passed the guy, dropped back to 67, and went back to complaining that his car was slow.

I was terribly impressed; my car would've had to put more work in to do that.

- Heat Pumps, which typically do both.

You'd only accept contributions under a CLA that assigns copyright to you or your company, allowing you to distribute the code and its derivatives in any manner, and under any license, you want.
It really depends on your race as a foreigner. Black and Indian foreigners will be treated worse than white foreigners. Asian foreigners…it really depends how Chinese they look.

It seems to get worse every year also. My first visit in 1999, foreigners were quite welcomed. Then it simply got more mundane from there. My visit twas chengdu in 2006 was fairly like you stated though.
Yeah, it would definitely be technically possible to build some sort of editor tab-complete for methods of a type ala `methodswith` or etc., someone would just have to step up and build it. The lack of this sort of method autocomplete tooling hasn’t ever been a pain point for me, but evidently is for some.
I don’t understand what can be depressing about other people finding company, wherever that may be?

Content filtering is by no means critical and shouldn't be used at all. All it does is punish students who don't know how to use Tor. Every school I've been to besides my highschool had either no filter or a DNS or HTTPS based filter, and most students used VPN apps which are likely worse for them (spyware etc.) than not having filtering. My highschool used Fortinet which also did SNI blocking and tried to block Tor, requesting new bridges allowed me to connect. At least Fortinet quickly reclassifies false positives though.
Whether you're entitled to it or not, you'd be foolish to expect it.

The last corporate IT job I had, they expected me to use my personal cell phone for job-related tasks. No, I didn't want their malware running on my phone, nor did I want to upgrade to an expensive cellular data plan for the required connectivity. If they wanted me to have a phone for their business, they should provide one.

Management and HR were quite upset. I suggested they check the state Labor Board. Shortly after, I was given a purchase authorization to buy a company phone and service.
Many different fields? I count 3, and they all sound software-related, so you could even argue you've worked in one field and 3 different specializations.

The answer is really simple: try something new. Choose randomly, go on a hunch, put yourself out there.
Oil creation & use are both flows, so there needs to be ongoing spending within an order of magnitude of the global oil market. Nobody can afford that sort of money to be spent on a completely unproductive activity, without any form of payoff. Countries would be bankrupting themselves.
One thing i have done to help myself help them:

Dad asked asked them to remote into their PC for the 10th time to troubleshoot XYC problem. My dad owns a small business and is in every sales list for SEO services, as well as sales subscriptions for every antivirus and basic software that you can think of and he doesnt need. He will click on some notification reminding him to register by x freeware and end up signing up for commercial subs he doesnt need. Which then he asks me to cancel.

So knowing this, among the fixed i did this 10th time, is I asked parente to provide credentials for gmail.

I then proceeded to set very aggresive filters to kill all the junk soliting before he would sign up for it. I also keep an open tab actively monitoring inbound email

If you get infront of it, thats 1 less thing you need to fix later.

Thats my advice. If your parents are the type to believe anything they get, then you must manage what they are getying.

For contrast, I rather wish I had an inductive cooktop rather than a gas stove. The gas burners pump out a huge amount of heat that doesn't go into the pans at all.
I like working too! I do work related things on evenings and weekends more often than not. But that time is precious to me as focus time, free of checking in, free of needing to post updates. It's time for reading something long and technical, learning new stuff, or working on code. I'd much rather do that stuff on my own and then have things to share during the next workday.
I just got back from picking up litter, though I do it every other day too. People keep picking up the habit, so it's spreading. I've been on TV twice for plogging too.

Everyone thinks it will be dirty and ineffective, but then finds it oddly satisfying.
I am perplexed by the insinuation that an average power car is less safe than a sports car on public roads. Everything I was taught shows that proper driving technique is paramount, and I would have to see data supporting a contrary assertion.

While we can construct edge scenarios where a fast car can get you out of trouble (mostly when overtaking) I'm willing to bet that's a marginal effect that is trumped by the inherent danger of very powerful cars in the hands of inexperienced drivers - i.e 100% of the first time buyers who never drove one.

Seems more like a rationalisation for wanting a cool toy, "don't worry honey, those 500HP will mean the world when merging to drop the kids to school".
I don’t know the history, and I agree it would be fascinating to hear from someone who does — but the fact that we call it a “shift register” strongly suggests it was implemented in hardware first, because “shift register” is usually a hardware term rather than a software term.

The earliest example of an LFSR I’ve seen is the Nintendo Entertainment System’s white noise generator, implemented in hardware. But many NES games used software LFSRs to generate random numbers for gameplay, so the trick was probably long-established and well-known at that time.
