Since power plants are already in the business of boiling water, I imagine that if it were a simple case of bypassing turbines and allowing the water to be cooled without generating electricity they would do so. Or perhaps such a solution is in fact feasible, but negative energy prices were not a practical problem when current plants were built

Awesome pain point yall fixing here. Do any of these firms provide actual, document APIs intended for external use?

I'd happily drop my current brokerages and switch to a consumer-friendly brokerage that supported this.
Yet they work in a totally different manner (not in the better sense).
it's their right

but it's not the car's fault if people don't want to use keys to start them up.

anyway, there's a huge amount of GUI software to handle PDFs in Linux, I will say that Linux gives you the most options, either as free software and close source ones.

Makes sense. Obviously you decide what your comfortable weight is. I just realized my “lot of weight to lose” reads very condescending.

Congrats on the weight loss so far!
Would it be fair to do something where you start off with the BSL approach where older code automatically becomes fully open source (like GPL or Apache), with the exceptions that the first N versions or N years of work will start off fully open, then the BSL stuff will kick in later?
I have no expertise in this area so I don't really know, but i imagine dispersing 1GW of power over a wide area deep underground presents substantial challenges of its own

> Nearly every aspect of game development is challenging and transferrable

I think thats if you dive into engine development alongside game development.

What I have found is a lot of newer game developers don't know the fundamentals because unity just takes care of it. Instead of spending time learning about data structures and the complexity of building a large interconnected codebase they memorise the unity api and learn how to make 'free floating' scripts that don't have to solve the hard problems.

I used to prioritise game developers when hiring for my corporate job. But I am finding this is less of marker of a good developer. Game development is still hard because it requires a huge amount of knowledge across many disciplines. Games programming has become significantly easier since the rise of unity and unreal.

Use number matching -- Preview

Use additional context -- Preview

Awesome. Let me just convince my enterprise customer where I'm not even an employee to mass enable two PREVIEW features for 35K users. That'll go down well.

Users cannot opt in to more secure authentication options individually.

The default is woefully insecure, almost pointless security theatre.

The secure option is unsupported in production.

Hardware token-based security is disabled by default, and carefully hidden behind dark patterns to boost the numbers of the MS Authenticator app so that some manager at Microsoft can meet his personal KPIs and get his bonus.

Customers using features like Azure AD multi-tenant applications cannot enforce MFA themselves -- Microsoft reserves this capability for their own applications only.

Even if I enforce hardware token MFA in my own personal Azure AD tenant, if I get invited to some other tenant as a Guest (e.g.: to a Teams meeting), then I'm forced to sign in using their MFA policy, which is more than likely the default MS Authenticator app with all optional features like this disabled.

To say that Enterprise customers have lots of options is patently false.

Microsoft only cares about security when it affects their own systems.
Re: the story at the start about watching a movie with a director and seeing them look at the movie different than the author did: I heard a great workshop by Chris Thile, MacArthur genius grant recipient and mandolin player. He said "we argue about this in the band, but I feel like once you're a serious musician, you can't ever enjoy music like lying back in the spa pool and letting it wash over you. You're always going `how does this make me feel? what about it is making me feel that way? how is it constructed? what's similar to other music i've heard? what's different?'."

We shouldn't be surprised that a creator's knowledge of a product exceeds that of the consumer. We should expect that we'll need to acquire that level of expertise and critical thought about a problem or solution space to be effective in the world.

Google basically has tracked the crap out of everybody without caring one bit about it, and now under regulatory pressure finds itself caring about privacy.

They're going for this "reasonable middle-ground" approach but this is an issue where a compromise is not possible.

This Sandbox idea basically means that instead of every 3rd party tracking the crap out of you, it's now exclusively in Google's hands. Where they may track "a little". There's even a privacy budget, where it is decided what "a little" means. Guess who controls this budget?

Tracking should be opt-in. And not the Apple way either, where you "ask" the tracker to stop tracking whilst it happily continues. It should block tracking at a technical level.

Apps can give intelligent options:

- Enable tracking: app is free, some personalized ads.
- Disable tracking: app is free, but more ads, that are not personalized.
- Disable tracking: pay $ for non-tracked non-ad experience.

This is real user choice. A privacy sandbox is no choice, you can't opt-out of it.

To remind myself of how creepy tracking is, I often visualize the physical analogy. You're at home and somebody stands behind you, making notes of every webpage you visit, and when. You take a drive, and a car is following you all day, making notes of where you went. As you arrive at your friends' house, the follower makes photos of your friends and tries to find out their names, the connection is logged and they make a note to follow that person too. The creep following you has plugged a cable in your camera so that when you make a photo or video, they get a direct copy, along with all metadata. You want to send a postcard to your parents but the follower snags it from your hands, opens it, makes a copy and scans it for clues. You put some of your valuables in a storage box but the follower has a spare key and regularly inspects it.

Not a single of the above interactions would be acceptable in the physical world, but it's the norm in the digital world. And to finish the analogy, the output of all of this is junk mail in the mail box which you immediately throw in the paper garbage department.

Also, any of the above can be shared at will with institutions. Which seems totally reasonable, until it's not. Governments can turn against their citizens, it's common, also today.

I don't mean to escalate this to unintended proportions but I can't help but share this powerful example: During WW2, Germany occupied the Netherlands and the one thing that helped them to find Jewish people was a single data field in the population registry: religion.

Would you have ever guessed or anticipated that such a single unimportant piece of data would have led to the ultimate consequence?

That's why privacy is a human right. Stand for it with everything you got.
And yet, you did.
That's brilliant. Some fiction can't be contained by paper.
Regarding the screenshots, maybe using the PrtSc key is more suitable for you? PrtSc alone saves the whole screen, Alt + PrtScr the active window. You'll find the screenshot as a png file in your "Pictures" folder.
What do you mean by captive customer? My understanding was that they were all about “parent choice”, so parents can choose to send their kids to either charter schools or public schools, and the schools only get federal money proportionate to the number enrolled. Presumably parents would not tend to keep their kids in a school with high teacher turnover.

N.b. I don’t have kids, so this is mostly academic for me, no pun intended
Does the IPhone just work though? My wife has one and I always find it a pain to deal with. Simple things like playing videos often don't work with VLC (never had this problem with Android) so I have to use Handbrake to convert it to a format that the Iphone will accept. Same thing with audiobooks, MP3 versions don't work I have to convert them to M4B for some reason.
Surprised Resque isn't thrown in the mix here. It's performed very well over the years, even as the workloads and scale of the application has grown (from 100s transactions a day, to 10k/minute). The main advantage over sidekiq is it uses a forking model, so you don't need to worry about memory leaks or thread-safety as closely.
That's a psychological trick to expect more wide range of answers like this one.
This article describes Insider build, is the same true for normal ones? I can see why what is basically beta version would require constant telemetry and feedback.
I don't particularly care about that either, I just want something I have actual real control over, that's updateable indefinitely, and doesn't shove crap in my face or spy on me

I think there's a difference between completely impossible, and partially very difficult. If reasonably well-off people can pretty easily leverage low-interest rates and take control over property that otherwise wouldn't have as much competition, then that's probably a bad thing. The super rich will always figure out a way if it's lucrative enough, but those actions would stand out more if it was generally unacceptable. As it stands, I don't even know how to track down data on how many people own multiple properties. Likewise, you can't possibly out-pace multiple property ownership with supply in a desirable place unless you exhaust the excess capital available to wealthy people and ban low-density zoning codes and maybe even ban surface-level parking lots.

In my neighbourhood, lots of wealthy homeowners have signs up decrying the construction of a sky-scraper that's sort of vaguely near the edge of their neighbourhood, which is currently occupied by a parking lot. The effect it would theoretically have, is adding to the available housing supply in the area for people currently renting at absurd rates because it's impossible to buy anything. It would take away rental income from people who already leveraged themselves too much, and marginally decrease demand for their scarce commodity known as a place to live.
I get it, you see this as complaining about how things shifted when this is a tradeoff they embraced from the start.

But there are situations where it's not that things changed, with companies that would love to be open source but it would hurt them at all phases.

If you have to be super proprietary to make any money off software, that's bad for everyone.

When a piece of code is responsible for enormous amounts of money and none of that goes to the author, that's a bad way to get more code and a bad way to support valuable authors.
Pocket only appears on the new tab screen. That's not a pop-up.

Colorways did have a pop-up, but it was an announcement of a new feature, not an ad, and didn't repeat.

I haven't seen the pop in new tab behavior you're talking about. That's so far out of left field I have to wonder if you have some sort of extension installed that's causing your problems.

Maybe it's a matter of configuration—I've been using Firefox since it was named Phoenix and I could have turned off the behavior you're upset about. But a quick web search for "firefox pop-ups" and "firefox advertisements" doesn't show anybody else complaining about this. Given that people hold Mozilla/Firefox to a much higher standard than other browsers, I'm inclined to believe it doesn't exist.

And all that aside, you've still provided no evidence that Mozilla plans to make this Disney ad a pop-up. It's just a fantasy you've concocted.

Precisely. I think it was Warren Buffett who said "show me the incentives and I'll tell you the outcome" or something to that effect. Governments are incentivized to seize as much power as money creation allows them. The only thing that has held them back from constantly brrring the money printer is inflation, as it is obviously bad for winning votes. Interesting to see how the Fed will manage 7.5% inflation by raising rates 0.25% and even then there's a high chance they will U-turn almost immediately. I really wonder what Biden must be thinking about Powell right now.
My thoughts were really about 'getting caught': being summoned because some other vehicle was making a lot of noise, or there was background noise and your vehicle was then tagged, resulting in your having to spend time and money going for government inspections is highly questionable. It also raises a lot of other civil liberties issues about public recording
I think most musicians recognise that the implicit rules are so complex that any reductive approach is going to fail if you want something like a simple formula for generating interesting music. It's just like language.
Disclaimer: ex-AWS as well, worked very closely with MemoryDB, but not paid to shill!

You're entitled to your opinion but your line of reasoning for how MemoryDB for Redis came to exist or the reasoning about why it isn't in upstream Redis is not factual. MemoryDB's architecture uses Amazon's home grown log replication services as pointed out by Werner Vogel in his blog post about MemoryDB[0]. This architecture is fundamentally incompatible with upstream Redis. The real reason why MemoryDB for Redis exists is far less juicy: MemoryDB came about by meeting customers where they were. Customer's love Redis, especially for its non-caching features, but replication is a headache with all the existing solutions today.

Also as far as I know one of the lead committers to Redis is from AWS.

> I do think their religious beliefs were relevant to policy. The US was very cognizant of this when they demanded the unconditional surrender of Japan.

That's certainly the Chrysanthemum and the Sword take on it. I'd agree that American conceptions of Japanese religious beliefs influenced American policy. The extent to which emperor-worship was truly inculcated in the population at large is still subject to scholarly debate, but the trend is toward understanding that Japanese internal religious propaganda doesn't necessarily reflect deeply-held cultural beliefs. It's unquestionable that タケヤリで (with bamboo spears) was a thing to an extent and that an invasion of the mainland would have been a clusterfuck, but I personally see it (as described up-thread) as more ascribable to the comprehensive failure of the nation's autocratic elites at holding non-idiotic worldviews, rather than them (or the population at large) being hyper-fanatic State Shintoists.
Ok, I concede that, it was exagerrated in what I was reading. What do you think about the other point? Was a computer as we know it today practical to design before the discovery that arithmetic and other principles of math could be worked out using logic?
I don't know much about this particular case. However generally speaking that is not true. They would just need to make the fork public. Whether the maintainer accepted the changes upstream is irrelevant.

When I was a younger engineer I loved Ubuntu because I got to feel like a hacker that was making my custom working environment.

But these days I’m just irritated by how much it takes to do _primitive_ things.

I spent 30 mins today just getting my Outlook calendar to display in Ubuntu. I had to use Stack Overflow to learn of a package I had to install. No error messages. The calendar just remained blank until I installed it. Then I had to sync, have the app crash, sync again, and reboot.

I then turned on notifications so I’d get calendar reminders. Had to manually turn off 50 other app notifications. And even with some app notifications turned off I still got notifications (like for every single slack message).

It’s awful.

I think there will always be responses of, “X distro sucks. Use Y instead.” And I’m done taking them at face value. Every distro I’ve tried feels the same kind of bad UX, just usually a different set of badness.

Free is free. Nobody should feel bad about this reality. A lot of hard work has been put into these things. But that doesn’t mean we should pretend that it’s good.
No, those people are the specialists that come in and set things up, or design and build the machinery that gets set up.

hey! so we actually have a React + Temporal example: https://github.com/temporalio/samples-typescript/tree/main/n... (9 minute demo/talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRYozSljSpw)

when you are handling your customers' states, every purchase is a long running process, both from an ordering side and a fulfilment perspective. Work needs to be done asynchronously, or you need to wait for some condition to be met to proceed, etc. Temporal makes it so that you don't have to glue together a bunch of schedulers and queues and databases and ad hoc state machines to make that work, make it traceable/debuggable, and make that scale.

Your engineers would be able to translate your business requirements directly into workflow code (often just a function) and be able to version control, test, migrate, lint, etc, rather than have that logic spread out over a bunch of your code and infra structure. they would then register it with their Temporal workers, and then invoke/signal those workflows from your php/node/whatever application code.

i did a demo recently of what its like to translate product specs to a workflow, like @rrix is saying in another comment, its pretty fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pxZgGhT-Xo
Not as bad as Citrix cloud at least - you could have MULTIPLE accounts under the same email. Your email is not actually your username on the back end (and your actual username is very difficult to find). Once you do find it though then of course you can login using that + password and it works relatively well.

Strangely enough the only consistent way I could figure out to get that back end username was to make a post on their official forums which would then show the real username next to your post (after you made a config change in the forum settings). So now for every administrative user I helped to setup I had them posting random stuff that really had nothing to do with anything just so they could figure out what their actual username was.
Hopefully this will let each of them compete on their own merits.

I’ve been tossing up moving our workloads to Elastic Cloud anyway, because AWS ES Service is a source of constant headaches for us. Feels like at least once a week a server ends up in a state where we can’t fix it, and AWS engineers have to manually fix their internal state.

Their standard response is “add more nodes”; well, we did that, and it is costing us an arm and a leg, and it didn’t fix the problems. (Plus, now we have new problems where networking blips appear to be causing quorum problems and sending the cluster into a death spiral.)

Purely off the customer experience, it feels like Elastic Cloud has to be better; the whole licensing debacle has definitely turned me off Elastic though.

I might prefer Metamastermates.
I've had the exact opposite experience. When I started using Linux the UI was a crutch, but as I learned, the command-line became much more compelling because it was substantially more powerful- it's infinitely easier to add features via flags and params than it is to integrate in a GUI. I pretty much live in the command-line now and I've never been more productive.

All of my calendar/doc/notes needs are in the cloud, so I'm dependent on a browser there. I don't have any display issues and general performance is better than Windows 10. I mean, just being able to run BTRFS is a game changer in reliability. All that said, I still love MacOS and use it for my work laptop, but Windows is just a hot mess at the moment and not something I want to subject myself to.
So.. Redis had a choice of licenses: BSD (improvements do not need to be contrbuted back) or GPL (improvements do need to be contributed back).

For whatever reason they chose BSD. And now Amazon made some improvements and is not contributing back.

Not sure why anyone is surprised.
