Do you have any sources on the claim that it have been close to causing loss of frequency? In Denmark that relies quite a bit more on wind they are saying that it should happen for no more than 5 minutes this year (and that may higher than what actual happens, as they have averaged less than 1 minute per year the last 10 years).

Furthermore the ENTSOE Mid-term Adequacy Forecast 2020 [0] forecasts Scandinavia to have between 0 and 0.1 hour loss of load expectation.

In the long term all audio/visual art is going to devalue in the face of programming because making things go has more value, and programming uses graphics and sounds to make them move, without programming textures, polygons and sound waves are just meaningless... Artists have always used technology: canvas, paintbrush, instrument, etc. But eventually the technology itself becomes the meaning.

You can see this in game programmers that only use technology to draw/play (shaders, proc. gen. etc.). The medium becomes the media!

I understand it is hard to see now, since humans take a long time adapting to things but this 50 year old craft (the youngest craft we have and possibly the last ever to be discovered by humans) will eventually be the master craft once programmers realize they don't need companies to earn value that allow them to pay for real physical things.

It will take time, but in the large perspective of civilizations it will happen in a heartbeat, historians will write that it allready happened!

> and without regular corrections it will drift out of position

How significant is that drift? Over 1 year how far out of position would it get? How many days/months/years would it take before it started being too far from earth or had an orbit that was dangerous?

I've never been able to find any answers to this question. The internet is covered in people repeating that L1, L2 and L3 are unstable, but never explain the impact.
I looked up the definition of 'light'.

> Light was regarded formerly as consisting of material particles, [...] but it is now generally understood to consist [...] in the propagation of vibrations or undulations in a subtile, elastic medium, or ether [...].

Nah, Not even close to how Granlund and Stallman changed our definition of cat
I believe you only need FDA approval if you sell something as a medical device/treatment etc. If you sell it as <plastic thing> and some residual chemical ends up in someone's bloodstream, that's fine.

This is because millions of chemicals are perpetually floating around in our bloodstreams (and elsewhere).

The FDA may issue warnings and bans. But to do so usually requires some evidence something is harmful. This study does NOT provide any evidence of that. Hence it was a total waste of time and energy.

Edit:

>MD5 is still perfectly fine for protecting against accidental corruption in storage or transit

So would some form of CRC. It's possible to create colliding files with MD5 so you lose the protection of knowing if a file you are given hash has a near 100% probability of being the correct file.

The length extension problems with SHA256 are not relevant to this use case.

Edit: Since there is no practical second preimage attack on MD5 this it's less of a big deal in this use case, but I think it's simpler to just avoid relying on MD5 to prove that 2 flies are likely the same in general.
Down voters should read up on the state of mandatory locking in Linux and what conditions need to be met and how reliable it is.
Taxes are theft (always). Many people share it explicitly. 99.99% of the people believe it somehow. But when you take it to its final conclusions, specially after touching something in particular, most people get super defensive and try every time of logical contortions to find somewhere when coercively removing property is ethically valid.
I find it most useful as a kind of conceptual organization. It's not something you'd directly solve problems with, but rather a way of organizing your work on the solutions. In that sense, it's much like software architecture -- you don't directly solve problems with architecture, either, but you do want an architecture that supports you when you need to make changes or grapple with a large or complex problem domain.

Unfortunately, that's also why most resources directly on category theory are deeply wedded to pure mathematics -- it's an architectural form that has been developed by mathematicians to organize their own constructions. Folks like Scott Wlaschin [0] and Mark Seemann [1] have, I think, much more success in teaching categorical concepts in a software context, but since their material is often so far removed from category theory "proper" (intentionally and for good reason), they don't really paint much of a path toward category theory themselves.

(I've recently been learning Agda, a dependently-typed language / proof assistant, and it's kind of shocking how often refactoring my proofs lead to more "obviously categorical" concepts. I really think there's something to this category-theory-as-mathematics-architecture angle.)

Well, for "local" TCP, it's pretty straightforward to see how the kernel can be smart and just copy the sent data into the receiving process' buffer directly and skip ACKs and other overhead if no-one's looking. Neither the sender nor the receiver actually care whether network traffic occurs as long as the semantics of the operation stay the same.
> That sugar does help.

I've never found it very compelling. As I said there are also downsides, inflexible implementation that is implementation specific (so it can be difficult to manipulate with low level assembly).

> C allows adding another function pointer to that structure, but not set that pointer. C++ compiler forces programmers to implement all interface methods. Forget to override a method, the code which instantiates the class won’t compile complaining about not being able to instantiate an abstract class.

Never found that particularly helpful if the code is structured well. You'd either allow for NULL implementations to be default or error not implemented at least until all subsystems are converted, or the initialization functions that all object allocations should call (because the code is well written) can verify all required fields are set. If you want to be even cleverer, you can probably do static initialization checks at least where your fields are constant and have those compile down to nothing just checked at compile time.

> Code navigation is another thing. In visual studio, while the cursor is over an abstract method, F12 key looks up all implementations of the abstract class, and populates the “find symbol results” panel with a clickable list of the implementations of the method. With visual assist addon installed, Alt+G key does the same only presents the results in a popup menu instead of a separate panel.

I can see how that might help a little, although surely with some minimal scripting a symbol browsing tool should be able to be taught about similar patterns like find all functions that are assigned to this particular member of a structure of function pointers. Although I don't use IDEs or any symbol tagging tools just grep usually, so maybe I'm a luddite.

With a nice code base that follows reasonable conventions and naming, it's pretty easy to find e.g., if you have a structure-of-function-pointers style of thing then you can find all definitions of "struct address_space_operations" or if a function pointer member is called page_mkwrite, then you search for *_page_mkwrite and get ext4_page_mkwrite, xfs_page_mkwrite, btrfs_page_mkwrite, etc. (which are not always strictly enforced in Linux but at least if you are searching for \.page_mkwrite you can usually easily see non-confirming names).

> Both things are borderline useless for small projects, but IMO they help a lot for medium to large ones, especially developed by multiple people.

I don't see that it helps a lot, and even as syntactic sugar I don't see it being a big advancement in the scheme of things.

If you want to get into reading some CS papers, I can also recommend these sources:

Available evidence strongly suggests Trump and his campaign coordinated with representatives of Russian government interests that involved both significant lawbreaking and a targeted media campaign that resulted in a victory for Trump that would not have occurred otherwise. Whether that's semantically equivalent to "colluded with Putin to cheat in the election" I don't know.

What you're saying, is itself an example of propaganda, in the sense that it's a simplification that while technically true leads a reader to reach a different conclusion that what actually occurred. And it's easy to do, because reality is complicated while disinformation can be simple.

This may be true, but it's about as useful as saying our behaviors and moods are controlled by the alignment of the stars. Neurochemistry just isn't something we experience directly, and as a model of phenomenology it isn't particularly informative, this is essentially a corollary of the hard problem of consciousness.

node/js applications tend to be a bit more home grown than more traditional, convention driven ecosystems

for architecture: my "advice" would be to start with a single file, add things until you start to find friction (having multiple windows of the same file open is a good sign, constant searching too), break things into separate files based on your preference, folders and directories along the same lines, be consistent

your knowledge and opinions about errors/exceptions is valid here too

nodejs is fast but its not so much a performance focussed platform so ime, tuning options are lacking. there is an eco system of tools for managing stuff but it bleeds into the environment a lot more e.g. process management, ops and infra
Yeah Beeminder is cool, probably the best of the competing solutions that I found.

One way I hope Kommit can add value, is that it doesn't require your commitment to be digital and there doesn't need to be an API integration (Beeminder is primarily based on API integrations). If you can prove your commitment with an image, video or text, your good to go. The downside is that nothing is automatic.

Update: You can manually enter data into Beeminder, therefore it can also handle non-digital commitments. However, as far as I am aware, the manually entered data is not verified (e.g. by having it checked by a reviewer) hence I didn't feel like it was their focus.

Ok, so we know that lower exposure doesn't cause the acute effects. What I'm asking about is chronic lower exposure.

I use two types of notebooks. One where I don't care about structure or content. I just write whatever I'm thinking about as I think it when tackling hard or large problems. Kind of like an unstructured unspecific mind-map. I find going back to this is highly effective to get me back into almost the exact frame of mind up to a couple of years later.

Then I have project notebooks, where each page is dedicated to one project. I only take it out after spending some time in the mind-map kind and I have made enough progress that it's worth writing in the project one. This notebook is written as documentation for an imaginary third party. It's useful for sharing with others and more importantly myself in the further future.

I use this system for work and personal projects and while I don't too often have projects running long enough for this to matter I regularly refer to my old solutions and thoughts. It has definitely prevented me from walking in proverbial circles.

Generally these open to everyone markets suffer from the garbage in garbage out problem (Good Judgment® Open, Metaculus,..) The low quality of the questions indicates that nobody spends any effort. The question may be receiving community input for a week and nobody has a clue.

Metaculus admins especially are spamming (their own site) with confused low-effort questions. They have:

1. arbitrary ways to quantify outcome thresholds. No standardization across questions.

2. Writing questions using terms the author does not actually know or misunderstands.

3. Using some random news sources as resolution criteria. Even if they are generally reliable, it just reveals how the author really didn't get into the question.

For example, war or conflict questions. A question may use some arbitrary number like 3 or 5 dead as a threshold for war. Maybe trying to figure out how subject matter experts are quantifying different conflict thresholds and what their reasoning was would be reasonable.
In general, I agree with you about avoiding cloud storage, but it's important to remember that the secret is the cleartext data. The encrypted data is not secret, and that's the whole point of encryption.

As long as you store the encrypted vault on a cloud service, your secrets are not shared.

The problem in this case is that you are running the vendor's code on your local machine to perform the encryption, and that's where the real issue is. You have to trust that that code is completely bug free. This issue is made worse by the fact that things are uploaded to the cloud, but it's not the underlying problem.
Well, it looks like creating another hard link is a nearly-free solution. And beyond that, since emacs already has both behaviors, presumably you can tell it you want the in-place modification.
That said, Spivak's work on framing databases in terms of categories [2] is pretty fascinating, and might be worth poking at.

Two things I'd like to say here

1. All anonymisation algorithms (k-anonymity, l-divergence, t-closeness, e-differential privacy, (e,d)-differential privacy, etc.) have, as you can see, at least one parameter that states to what degree the data has been anonymised. This parameter should not be kept secret, as it tells entities that are part of a dataset how well, and in what way, their privacy is being preserved. Take something like k-anonymity: the k tells you that every equivalence class in the dataset has a size >= k, i.e. for every entity in the dataset, there are at least k-1 other identical entities in the dataset. There are a lot of things wrong with k-anonymity, but at least it's transparent. Tech companies however just state in their Privacy Policies that "[they] care a lot about your privacy and will therefore anonymise your data", without specifying how they do that.

2. Sharing anonymised data with other organisations (this is called Privacy Preserving Data Publishing, or PPDP) is virtually always a bad idea if you care about privacy, because there is something called the privacy-utility tradeoff: you either have data with sufficient utility, or you have data with sufficient privacy preservation, but you can't have both. You either publish/share useless data, or you publish/share data that does not preserve privacy well. You can decide for yourself whether companies care more about privacy or utility.

Luckily, there's an alternative to PPDP: Privacy Preserving Data Mining (PPDM). With PPDM, data analysts can submit statistical queries (queries that only return aggregate information) to the owner of the original, non-anonymised dataset. The owner will run the queries, and return the result to the data analyst. Obviously, one can still infer the full dataset as long as they submit a sufficient number of specific queries (this is called a Reconstruction Attack). That's why a privacy mechanism is introduced, e.g. epsilon-differential privacy. With e-differential privacy, you essentially guarantee that no query result depends significantly on one specific entity. This makes reconstruction attacks impossible.

The problem with PPDM is that you can't sell your high-utility "anonymised" datasets, which sucks if you're a big boi data broker.
I actually used this recently for a little project. Very easy to use, and funnily enough, I passed it through `zig cc` and (as expected) everything worked just fine. I've ranted about this before on this site, but I wish all C and C++ libraries were this easy to integrate into projects as miniz is.
50 years is too long. It is basically saying everything culturally relevant from someone’s youth should not enter the public domain until they are pretty much dead. At which point no one is going to car about the copyrighted material.

20 years seems like a sufficient term, I would even go for 10 or 15. Creators were still creating before copyright terms were extended to infinity.
Yes, it is connected, which means that when multiple countries are at a loss, then other can help out - but when all countries area at a loss or when the frequency don't match, which is currently happening, prices sky-rocket, electricity cannot be transported and black-outs are bound to happen unless turning to regional shut-downs.

Which, by the way, is what happened in Germany recently [0], they had to be saved by multiple countries, shut down of large industry (Costing a lot in damage) - all to prevent black-outs. How will that be handled when Germany shuts down 10GW of nuclear power 2022, if it's already not enough?

Not sure how different facts would help, when issues are actually happening.
> Many people share it explicitly. 99.99% of the people believe it somehow.

I think this is mostly a US-centric thing. In Europe taxes tend to be much higher and people mostly acknowledge that they are a necessary evil and when used appropriately they are good. How do you fund good roads, public illumination, universal healthcare, publicly-funded schooling, etc without everybody chipping in?

Sure, there are many discussions about how much people pay, about tax evading, about whether the systems in place are the fairest, etc. but in general from my experience (and personal opinion) they're not seen as theft.
> catastrophic engine failure is exceedingly rare

Not really... apparently the rate for piston engines is around 15 failures in 100,000 hours (it's not trivial to find reliable statistics on that, because an engine failure that does not result in an accident need not be reported). If an average GA pilot flies around 1000 hours, encountering an engine failure is as common as throwing a 6 on a die. (I've had one.)

Before I heard about web3, I started thinking about some of the same questions that are trying to be answered by web3. How can I start using systems where I own my data and control access to it via tools? Is it possible to shift towards tools that can use my data in a common format but allow me to switch tools? What should be free and what do I pay for? What is identity - how do I prove that I am who I say I am? Those are the questions I had before hearing about web3, so to me it has become an umbrella term to loosely define the conversation space about these questions (and many other related ones that I didn't originally have).
