Oh, btw, all that "Nim code for XYZ" in the crp,help={} section at the end should be "C code". Oops. { Sorry. I mostly just ported the rp.nim to crp.nim to time how fast tcc could make a pure C backend run and didn't change that part. }
On a possibly related note, Ukraine is one of the largest wheat exporters in the world. A disruption in their planting and growing season could greatly impact food prices, expecially in the Middle East and Europe.
I don't miss it. Just watch out that they select automatically the non free option for shipping even if there is a free option with the same expected delivery. (This is for > $25 orders.) I'm located far from a distribution center so that might make a difference.
I am usually operating at a senior programmer level, not making CTO type decisions but often making architectural ones (for clients that don't have a full-time IT staff). So my experience may or may not be comparable to yours. But, for what it's worth, here's my count of where I found clients:

> Where is this mythical $0.40/kWh price for electricity (not transmission) actually occurring?

The standard residental TOU plan for PG&E peak usage ranges from $0.33 to $0.45 depending on the season. Have a look yourself[1]. But PG&E actually classes your solar power as green energy and sells it to "solar choice" customers at even HIGHER prices[2].

> Net metering does not expire after a year. You can continue to get any power you need matching the power you had put in on a 1:1 basis. The 1c/kWh is for the excess.

There's no roll over of any extra generated power. You use it or you lose it. If you have $300 in retail credits they'll cash you out for $15 which is the wholesale price of it and you'll start again for the next year.

> Net metering allows rooftop solar to effectively get paid for electricity at a much higher rate than PG&E or local electricity cooperatives than would be paying on the open market.

You're paid in credits. Kind of like getting a gift card that expires in a year or days depending on when it was generated. It's non-transferrable and for all intents and purposes disappears at the end of the year when they true you up. To think people paying $30k for rooftop solar are somehow taking advantage of PG&E is laughable, especially given PG&E has a green energy mandate and doesn't have to pay a dime for that $30k installation.

> the big lesson here is that funding basic research can yield very large returns.

It can also be somewhat wasteful, depending on what gets funded. Research that generates "very large returns" is probably quite rare and special, in a way that makes the whole notion of "basic research" somewhat less than meaningful as a target for funding.
Yes. It will happen. I bet low energy radio systems (like helios) will connect them up but that won't be for a long time or in my lifetime.

There's a fantastic sci fi book called "Metaplanetary" by Tony Daniel where he invented this and many other fantastic ideas. Imagine that there are billions of little computational nodes around you in the dust ("the grist"). Imagine sentient computer programs, who have human rights. Imagine what people would do who don't believe they are really sentient - yes, they'd torture or kill them. He has some sequels but last time I looked he hadn't published the conclusion book in a long time. He worked in IT in some area. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/116171.Metaplanetary. I'll agree with the reviews there that the book starts up a little hard to follow, but then it races away.

I’m struggling to understand your point, since we agree that vaccines are working to prevent hospital overflow. Is the issue the method of enforcement (show a card to eat at a restaurant)? Because I can also agree that it’s a little roundabout.
Have u seen any studies on how to add a detachable battery pack to an existing truck configuration?

For example, a 2mx2mx0.5m pack can be slotted between the cabin and trailer.

A 2mx6mx0.25cm can be laid on the roof ?

Etc..

(I have seen demos of an Australian truck where the fossil engine is removed, and the pack is inserted from the front.)

Wreck of Cook's Endeavour Found Off Rhode Island Coast: Researchers
Is it actually used for anything important? When I was in sports clubs pre-internet I can't remember any important communication between leaders/parents other than what was shared at pickup/passed home via the kids.

I see lots of kid/parent related stuff done via Facebook with family members with kids + I and am curious how necessary it is (i.e. would I be able to just not use it + still get necessary info).
Apologies, I thought you meant ‘optimized’ in a different sense, not in terms of how list.pop is implemented, as AlphaCode wasn't involved in that. You are entirely correct that list.pop uses memmove.

> Someone submitted this 1553D code to Codeforces and it passed

Ah, well that shows you have a 2 second time limit, which is quite a lot of time! Not quite enough to empty a 200k element list with list.pop(0)s, but not far off; a 140k element list squeaks in under the time limit for me.
I buy on the order of ~80 things from Amazon every year. Prime more than pays for itself for me.
That's weird, because I've never seen ISIS on there.
Yeah, I'm in my 40s too and I find dark mode very difficult to read, especially when I have to read code or write it. Even at night when I'm sitting in the darkness.

I do use flux [0] though, because the default monitor brightness is too bright for me, even in broad daylight, never mind at night. For my smartphone I use the Twilight app, which isn't as good but better than nothing. Not sure about the whole blue light thing but it's very easy on my eyes, much better than dark mode.

Yeah the Delta variant is the only one that has really mattered at all.

That was something that literally nobody expected, not even epidemiologists or virologists. Goodbye herd immunity argument entirely. Everyone catches SARS-CoV-2 sooner or later.
The technology itself is unstoppable.

At most widespread use of it could be delayed until something smaller and even harder to detect is invented.
I haven't distributed an iOS app since the Objective-C days, but I was recently going through SwiftUI tutorials and one of them deals with adding dark mode to an app. It appears to be quite simple, especially if you are beginning an app from scratch. I was pretty surprised by that.

> Vaccines have mostly eradicated other viruses

No, vaccines have eliminated exactly one human virus, smallpox.
I don't understand who your "they" is. In my opinion there were valid reasons for both decisions on antibodies and boosters. Since I know one of the people in your linked podcast, I will not comment on it.
The outright falsehood of this statement:

> just about every important breakthrough in science in the last 30 years occurred at a privately funded American university.

Really makes it difficult to take the rest of this comment seriously.

In case the ways it is "not even wrong" need to be detailed:

1. Drew Weissman's research was (almost certainly) majority funded by public money doled out by the NIH, NSF, and other national organizations. The public/private status of the university has little bearing on that, as most university research funding comes through these agencies, with something like 50% generally going directly to the universities themselves. Research at "private" universities as it currently exists would not survive without this mechanism.

> something like 10 privately funded American universities make more scientific breakthroughs than the 10,000 publicly funded universities around the world put together

2. Also very false, although arguably hard to prove one way or the other. How do you define breakthroughs? Press releases from university PR departments? Patents? Either way (or by some third—hopefully measurable—way that I'll allow you to define for us) I guarantee that you need to go much further down the list of private universities before you match the output of "all publicly funded universities around the world put together".

I imagine that you have in mind important (and/or well publicized) advancements from MIT/Stanford/Harvard and are forgetting about the enormous amount of research output from public universities (which include but are not limited to Berkeley, CalTech, U of Michigan, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, U of Texas, Ohio State, etc.)

> Regardless, this idea would be impossible in the first place at a government funded institution so why even bother mentioning it.

3. As you hardly cite any evidence for this, I'll point out that private money can go to diverse people at diverse institutions (including government funded universities).

So my question to _you_ is whether this comment is motivated by a knee-jerk anti-government reaction, or if I'm entirely misunderstanding where you got these ideas?
> Finally, roads in US and Europe are very different as well. Cities in US have wide streets and interstate highways are very straight and wide. In Europe trucks have to deal with narrow streets, winding country roads and cramped parking spaces.

Most comments in this thread are underestimating this point. I grew up in Italy (where virtually all trucks are cabover), and I now live in Australia (where conventional cabs are common). The road conditions are completely different. Can you imagine a conventional driving through Florence? Obviously it wouldn't be ideal.
Here somebody took the time to look at 30 of these studies. It is an interesting read.

Grid defection is illegal in almost every municipality in the country. Companies like PG&E have a legislated monopoly and there's no other option for you.
Canceled 5 years ago and don't miss it at all. Sometimes I will have to spend 10 minutes longer looking for a supplier online, but I can get all the same things for a similar price and I haven't had any of the issues I used to with Prime like receiving fake shampoo (with brand names misspelled), I get equal or better product quality, and I feel better supporting local businesses.

Added bonus is I found myself impulsively ordering less useless crap since it requires more thought to order and isn't delivered immediately.
Good one!

Here’s my version for pre-Covid vaccines:

Vaccines are like seat belts: they prevent car crashes.
Irrespective of whether it's random or cherry picked, you can't discount a mountain of evidence from N=1. That is the playbook Big Pharma have succeeded with so far. Find one trial with evidence of fraud (El-Gazaar DBRCT) and then discount all other clinical trials on IVM for Covid. The media bought it hook, line, and sinker.
> She was using all of her experience in synthesizing mRNA in pursuit of gene therapy. Not being funded led her to run into Weissman, who was interested in using RNA for vaccines

If your work gets funded and published, it's easier not harder for people working on tangentially-related stuff to hear about it and start cooperating with you. "Interdisciplinarity" is a big draw.
Myocarditis isn't that dangerous, it's acute and can be managed. Infection is much more risky.
> I expect two COVID infections would increase the risk like it seems to do with the vaccines.

Then the relevant metric should be infection vs vaccine+infection, given that natural immunity is better than vaccine-conferred immunity (which seems very bad with Omicron)

How dare Americans find a way to pay for medical treatment?!?
I'm not following the whole thing but i think part of the controversy is the person collecting the money is suspected to have run off with it or suspected to intend to run off with it, or something.

Regardless, i doubt people waving swastikas and demanding that democratic leaders be replaced with a dictatorship is exactly the type of "standing up to government" gofundme envisioned.
Almost everywhere in California could burn in the next 10-30 years. Huge fires around LA every year. The Oakland hills fire burned down thousands of homes. Santa Rosa burned twice in three years. Santa Cruz, etc. Maybe somewhere in the central valley or the Mojave desert would meet your requirements.
In the words of AOC ... "The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable.

Activists take that discomfort w/ the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows.

To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable... that’s the point."

I sure made folks mad with the "55 saves lives" throwaway line.

I'm hoping the need to extend EV range brings US highway speeds down to something reasonable, but I'm not optimistic.
To be fair, everyone knew that Amazon's "Other" category was almost entirely advertising in previous reports.

I think that the market is happy for three reasons:

1. Algorithms misreading the high earnings ($11.8B out of the $14.2B is just a Rivian accounting adjustment).

2. AWS experiencing 40% YoY growth (accelerating QoQ for a while, while both Azure and Google Cloud are decelerating).

3. Advertising doing well.
It probably depends on how you use it. Many of my relatives have cancelled it without a problem.

I buy all sorts of one day/same day items that I would need to go to a store for otherwise (virtually anything that isn’t fresh food that you might want same day like toothpaste or soap or bandages), so I could never give it up.

Also retail helps them sell more and more Prime subscriptions which would definitely continue to add to recurring rev/profits in the long term.
You realize that without that pipeline they ship it by truck which is much worse for the environment. Without demand it wouldn't be sold to the US.
So frustrating when someone makes four good points yet throws in a controversial outlier, seemingly at random, that makes me feel awkward about upvoting the rest. I don't necessarily disagree with the concept of UBI, but geez, WTF does that have to do with this conversation?

I guess 80% is good enough. Consider the advantages of focusing on your core theses, though.
Its probably both, but even without the auto tracking you describe, it's still quite possible for the space within a single pixel to be mostly misses. If someone positions their cursor in this single pixel, the game gives them the benefit of the doubt and counts it as a hit.

Yet... Guess we gave up caring about full research and monitoring a couple of years ago.

We're even at the point where we want to vaccinate our small children because 'it's marginally better than nothing' ignoring that side effects are also marginally more than nothing and we have very little good long term data.

The worst thing is that people celebrate when anything that takes power from the established get squashed.

People may not agree with these guys, but being selective here means that other legimate causes may not get funded.

And I'm pretty sure that crowfunded strikes scare the shit out of some of the big boys since it takes away their leverage. They are gonna stomp this out at the first opportunity.
It's both actually. I play mcc on PC.
Controller players get that very obvious cross hair aim you mention, and keyboard/mouse players don't. That's why all the pro players use controller, a 150ms latency human can't compete with the aimbot.

But there's also subtle bullet magnetism, for both controller and kb/mouse players.

There are YouTube videos demonstrating this if you're interested.

I prefer keyboard/mouse which puts me at a disadvantage but I'm not a pro player so I don't mind.
So in NH I am paying just over $4.20 a gallon for propane and about $0.18 a kwh for electricity. With those prices a propane heater for my hot tub would cost more to run. Also a heat pump heater for the hot tub would optimistically get around a 3-4 COP in warmer weather and 2-3 in the colder weather but either of those would lower your price to heat it considerably but the capital expenses neglect those savings.

Any kind of defense would be by chance. You aren't realistically able to "harden" the OS against attacks better than Apple can. Maybe you might be able to confuse some attacks but this would still be basically random luck.
Does it actually "pay for itself" or does it just get you items faster (which is you paying for something)?

For me, I go without, and I only buy things with free shipping, so having Prime would not save me money; it would cost me money.

(I also buy less things when I do not have Prime, so that saves me additional money!)
When I first opened the site, I wondered if it was a more technical/wonkish dive, or whether it was a political take.

Looking at the root site prospect.org made it clear it's the latter.

Don't get me wrong, their thesis can still be right and their fact presented are still valuable, but this is like reading about "is free trade good" in the Economist. I would take away the facts, not the conclusion.
HN, Reddit, Twitter, Tumblr, and similar places online have been talking about the downfall of most of the tech giants and a plethora of sizable medium sized tech companies: Netflix, Paypal, Adobe, Salesforce, Oracle, Atlassian. I'm sure I'm missing a bunch. Besides Atlassian, the rest are all $150-300B companies right now. That's been the same thing for ~15 years now. That's how long I can attest to that behavior for.
I wonder how the authors perceive the world around them. Because after opening and skimming the PDF I certainly felt transported to a strange, alien place… with no resemblance of my own surroundings.
I think you are highlighting great ways to impress upon a kid the: "visceral experience of the vastness." Which is the core of what I want. That's a really good way to put it by the way.

I really like the idea of taking kids to really impressive libraries as well. My parents did that for me and it really did create lasting memories.

But I am more thinking of something that can emulate that experience remotely. Your focus on the space made me thing of maybe a library on Minecraft or Roblox? Maybe it can be a space where you can somehow see the books in a virtual space and design something that allows you to explore the collections. I know this would be really hard in Minecraft and I don't know how hard this would be in roblox.
But I really like this idea because it would be easy to create, easier to maintain, and be a really cool thing that a teacher could say take a class trip to.

It would be important that you where presented with a way to checkout the books you found in this virtual library from a real library near you that has ebooks for children. This would also allow you to checkout the public works books from the awesome sites you referenced instantly.
You didn't provide any data, why would I?
