You lose something like 70% of the thermal output of the reactor in the conversion to electricity. Also the capacities a nowhere near large enough. Nord Stream 2 alone can transport something like 63 GW worth of gas. This is more than the total electricity consumption of Germany.

If it is the fault of the Germans, then it is more so the fault of the Russians, but honestly if the Netherlands doesn't have natural gas, why be shocked when other people raise prices for a substance you can't do without and must buy at any price?

At least the Scottish have the argument that all things being equal they don't need Russian gas, so the only reason their prices are high is that if you've got a bunch of gas in Scotland, you should sell it all for $$$ to the Netherlands unless the price in Scotland rises too.

How is the Netherlands on Electricity? Are you like Scotland on that too, where despite notionally making most of your electricity without needing gas, the market clearing price is determined by gas generators and so it soars because gas prices are high?
Am I the only one who thinks that the reality of this crisis is a lot more nuanced than what Western media shows us?

Same as with Taiwan. It's an island off China and rebels flew there at some point and started to govern Taiwan as if it was theirs. China always insisted that Taiwan is part of China but because they never used military force to put an end to the game which those rebels played on that island it became harder for China to maintain the premise that Taiwan is in fact still part of China. Obviously the West has HUGE incentives to keep Taiwan seperate from China so will only portray one side of the story and the longer China was doing the objectively speaking right thing (not using force to exercise their right) the easier it is for the West to peddle the idea that Taiwan is in fact not part of China. It's almost like the West has been intelligently exploiting the good will of the East and I do feel like there is a lot of that going on between Ukraine and Russia as well.

Unfortunately there are no objective sources of news anymore and it's hard to really get a well balanced overview of the crisis. When I read on Wikipedia that for instance more than half of the Ukraine was not in favour of the Euromaiden protests, or other minor facts which shine a slightly different light on everything I am curious how much did the West contribute in stirring the crisis like we know they did in other countries in the world (Cuba, Middle East, Arab Spring, etc.)
Germany didn't bulit it. It was build by Russia through Gazprom in collaboration with few German companies, that care about their profits not Russian tanks in Ukraine.

There's nothing wrong making this enterprise to be on par with other routes.

German corporations that collaborated gambled on getting unfair business advantage through geopolitics. They should loose. It doesn't matter they had political support of Germany initially. Political reality changed to the point German support of Russia can no longer be swept under a rug.
The obsession with the concept of a "one true cross platform toolkit" even just for mobile is wrong, it will never happen.

They all have their strengths and weaknesses, you should always chose one where the strengths align with your app and your team. I see it something like this (of the ones I know enough about):

Flutter - Brilliant for somewhat simple apps talking to an api that don't need to share any ui with the web. Sonos is a brilliant example. Banking/Utilities, Smart Home, Restaurant/Takeaway (I think here in UK the Pizza Express app is Flutter). Things that need a "flashy" but consistent ui. In many ways I see Flutter as the new Adobe Flex/Flash.

React Native - Brilliant where you need a more native feel or need to drop to native more regularly. Good WebView support if you need them, mixing web and native views together. Also good to extend native apps. Facebook and other social media apps are a good example.

Ionic/Capacitor (or the older PhoneGap/Cordova) - You have a small team and need to get a fully cross platform app (web/mobile/pwa/desktop) done quick. If you are just calling a few HTTP apis (a CRUD app) and rendering some screens you can't be more productive than with this platform, particularly if sharing views with the web. Brilliant for enterprise, or internal apps. Good examples are the UK NHS apps. Performance on any mobile hardware less than 5yo is better than good. I have used NativeScript with Capacitor, they work very well together when you need to access native functionality not available with the standard capacitor apis.

(I don't know enough about Kotlin and its cross platform tools)

Crypto addict created a toolkit for navigating the crypto markets
Crypto adddict but instead of becoming a casualty, I created a trading toolkit with my friend.

Now we are trying to scale it and become a utility to the crypto community.

The toolkit is basically an extension of sites like CoinMarket Cap, Coingecko and Cryptowat.ch. But instead of just giving you token info, it actually asseses the health of the coin you are researching. In addition to seeing the status of familiar coins, it also has a highly calibrated screener to let you know about coins that are in fresh uptrends and downtrends. The basis of the screener is the Supertrend indicator made popular in stocks and forex markets. I sped up the settings to a period lookback of 5 with a range multiplier of 1.5 (to account for the average true range of the insturment price.)

I personally have used this screener for more than 2 years and have experienced a satisfaction in knowing I created an "edge" in the markets. Now I am interested to share it and make it into a community type project where others can learn how to navigate the murky waters of crypto altcoins.

For the devs this is our stack:
We run a daily script via render.com’s cron job service that fetches data from Coingecko’s and Cryptowat.ch’s APIs and stores that data in a PostgreSQL database. That script wraps up with triggering a build of our Frontend on Vercel. The Frontend is done with Next.js/React and uses Ant Design components. and gets the data from PostgreSQL with Prisma.

Completely ignoring the sanctions might be against the law. This could mean risking the entire project to become delegalized in the US.
I think there’s a real bias in all developers toward aiming for a “good” experience in one’s chosen environment, and then declaring that as “good enough” in everything else. I certainly fall for that as a “Mac guy,” where I might build something that gets used in Windows, and it might not be as good but literally nothing in Windows is good so what’s to be done?

Many/most developers — at least in the tooling world — are Linux people, so we get these cross-platform tools based on Electron and Flutter that everyone insists are either “good” or “good enough”, and it makes me feel so bummed about the state-of-the-art, that our hardware is better than ever and we’re just throwing it away on this crap.

No, your cross-platform app is not indistinguishable from native, or good. It is probably good enough, here’s a participation ribbon.

Because even if it was actually 150 hours of densely packed, highly entertaining, engaging story, there's no version of the universe where I'd be able to keep all that in my head when it's chopped up into about 100 short evening sessions.
Sure, if I had all the time in the world, sure, but even if people enjoy grinding, nobody is going to convince me that these games provide 150 hours of intense, solid entertainment, they "merely" take 150 hours to get through. I've gone through long games back when I had the life to waste, and of course I enjoyed that, but I'm under no illusion that there was generally more "work" in them.
You can also use the heat directly (district heating) without having to go to electricity and back. This limits the electricity output efficiency but increases the overall efficiency of the plant. It requires changes to the turbines and the buildout of a district heating system though.

Writing for the sake of writing. But I'll get to that in a moment...

"the dog has to be pushed outside" What? No, if it's that cold, you keep the dog against your body, and you both benefit.

Anyway, in these times of competition for attention, the written word is losing. Therefore, it is increasingly important that what is written is succinct and meaningful. This "article" talks about stuff without reaching a conclusion. It's like a trailer for a movie that doesn't exist.

Yes, people have demonstrated that they can gain some level of control over their own calorie burn for self-heating. How they do it is still a mystery, just as how much of the mind works is still a mystery.

Does it really?

It hurts Germany, clearly. Germans will try to avoid a shooting war, but Germans would be very unhappy about paying for Putin's war. I don't think the current government would get much political ill will for refusing to support Putin's invasion, even if the lack of gas does hurt.

And Putin needs money to keep his population reasonably peaceful, and that means that he needs transit to countries that will pay. Turkey and Germany are key transit countries.
Neutral and amoral bites each other. Germany wants to be the leader of europe...yet no one else wants that....understandably.
If you try to reset your password too often, especially without logging in, you often end up with a "try again in 48 hours or contact support here", to prevent this type of attack. That doesn't really work if this is how you log into your account. The expected rate of these emails is much higher, so you can't be as restrictive in sending them out.

Another difference is that the ramifications are much bigger. If your password reset doesn't work, the minuscule fraction of users that can't remember their password can't log in. In this scheme, none of your users can log in.
Yes... and no. These are separatists who are operating with the support of Russia, and are (obviously) puppet states for Russia now that Russia is going to be sending "peacekeeping forces" within their territory.

I don't think China would have any objection to separatists of any nation who wanted to spread communism and get Chinese backing. Actually, the fact that there aren't Taiwanese separatists for China is probably a disappointment.
It should be extremely simple tax structure.

It's not about intimidation.

Nord Stream 2 intention was to make it way more profitable than other routes so Putin can freely mess with countries those other routes go through.

By firmly taxing whatever comes out of NS2 you nullify it's attractiveness for consumers.

And giving Ukraine this much money would strengthen it economically so they can adavance faster towards western standards of living and western culture, further from Russia influence.

Losing two provinces that are basically huge coal mine populated with people speaking other language is not that painful if you can progress towards western knowledge based economies fast.

I am on mobile at the moment so I don’t have easy cites, but most of the research on ‘high-functioning’ psychopathy tends to lend credence to the thought that in the Western market CEO’s job requirements make it much easier for psychopaths to excel.

It is a very good idea, but some resources can give very wrong/opaque views about procedures, by showing only model.fit(X,y) and model.predict(X).
I really don’t understand this logic.

Or rather, it’s easy to turn it around.

Russia’s claim is basically, “this is ethnically Russian population speaking Russian”. That’s exactly the same claim that China could make about Taiwan.
One of the the connections to Russia that kept giving diplomacy a base is, that Russia always was a reliable supplier with gas, as was the Sovjet Union even during the cold war. Equally, Europe is a good customer. Fundamentally such trade is good for both sides.

Nord Stream 2 was strictly speaking never needed, a lot consider it rather a strategy of Russia to be able to cut off Ukraine without severing their trade with Germany. As a consequence, a lot of people in Germany considered North Stream 2 a strategic mistake.

Putin already was playing with the gas supply as the signed contracts were fulfilled, but no extra gas was offered, even if Russia could have made some nice profits, unless North Stream 2 became operational.

Cutting gas below the existing contracts would be a whole different step of escalation.
More informative might be: some price sensitivities around LNG, and how changing supply may affect price.
Would you mind sharing the iOS/Android breakdown? The claim was it doesn't work as well on iOS.
No disagreement here, but my point was mainly on the demographics. I'm pretty sure there are just as many 'typically well-off' groups that would do skiing OR snowboarding, like lawyers, doctors, or engineers.

Then again lawyers have this stuffy aura to them, maybe they prefer skiing? ;)
Nordstream 2 has sanctions against it in the US and has for several years now. Work on the pipeline stopped an hour or two before they were signed into law (by the allegedly pro-Russia Trump).

Like Biden always does, he just ignored the bi-partisan sanctions passed by congress because it'll be too late by the time the courts get done (Biden subverting the system to help Russia get what they want)

This is important because Ukraine said quite a while ago that sanctions of Nordstream 2 would go a long way toward preventing war[0]

Meanwhile, the Democrats spent a morning last week waxing eloquent about the evil of the filibuster only to use the filibuster that same day to stop a bi-partisan set of Nordstream 2 sanctions from passing because it was just under the requisite 60 votes.

True, although if you are trying to build a cross platform app where the web is a major part of it, I wouldn't even look at the Flutter and default to Capacitor.
Yup. I totally know what works as I've experienced things myself.

But it's kind of hard to set up scientific methodology to prove things with n = (enter convincing amount of subjects) where there are many subjective sides in the experiment (e.g. Thinking of something that makes you shiver/goosebump is hard to apply at scale as for many that is result of something subjective and different for each individual)

I'd love to see some organization to set up an experiment though.
Dart is particularly bad. I tried to enjoy using it but I just cannot. I don't understand why they didn't choose Typescript.

It felt like they couldn't use it for anything else so it was mandated that people use it somewhere.
I’m sure you can find similar items in the homes of the ultra wealthy and eccentric class. Things like this would be out of place in a small middle class home. Though, I do agree that they are incredible works of art and wish our society moved towards having murals of similar decadence within the ordinary home.
Germany has run on 60% Wind power alone in January and February so far, even exported energy to France (because their nuclear power is in bad shape) and Poland (coal power plants are just too expensive). Just another motivation to get rid of the old power sources as soon as possible. North Stream 2 never made sense.
Are there any mitigation techniques that can be used to subvert this?

For one, they could take comments on their bug tracker to heart instead of locking the discussion as soon as there are enough users unhappy with a change.
No, that's mostly the fault of many bad decisions in the git user space. The data model is quite brilliant and quite general.

It'd be possible to write a really good user space around the git data model if someone had the time and inclination.

My personal gripes:

* I like to commit every time I change a few lines of code. To have a clean version history, git requires me to rebase all of those commits. I'd like to have "major" and "minor" commits, which the git data model can support in several different ways (as a list, a tree, or DAG; I prefer the tree model). The user space makes anything like this incredibly painful. It encourages rewriting history, which is actually rather bad.

* Large files are managed very, very badly. It's ironic since the git data model is ideal for things with large files.

* Related, partial trees aren't really supported. This gives scaling issues. In many cases, I just want to work with a few files, or just the latest commit. Some of this is technically possible but practically painful enough to be not worthwhile.

* Nested projects / submodules.

Of those, only submodules might require changes to the underlying data model.

> Anyone who's not "secure for life" and has to keep the salaries coming in will have to deal with bad people, bad decisions, bad culture, etc. and become unhappy.

This is bleak way of looking at things. There's one thing to have f-u money but there's another base level of security that lets you leave a job or group and move on without too much disruption. Marriage helps there too. I'm nowhere near "secure for life" money, but if I was truly unhappy with my job I'd leave and find something else in a month or two. Around a quarter of people who left their jobs in the US don't have a new role lined up and turnover otherwise is pretty high telling me people do have a choice. [0]

> When I was in the comfortable situation, I was carefree and open to pursue ideas and projects brought to me which I knew were stupid and prone to fail. My colleagues loved it, of course.

I've found the reverse. When I was most carefree and comfortable as a child and young adult, I didn't pursue ideas or projects. I didn't do much of anything. I watched TV and hung out with friends. I went through the motions at work. Only later when I had actual responsibilities and had a partner did I get ambitious and pursued more ambitious projects. "Worrying" about making it is what gets me up in the morning and keeps me motivated and feel like I have a purpose

It is the most expensive part, yes, but even so, the BoM price for that flexible screen might still be cheap enough to be passed on to customer. They'll need to be creative on how to make that part as easy to replace as possible with as few material and complexity as possible, maybe like applying a piece of screen protector and slotting the edge into a slot like those thin flex wires.
