It's not about transitioning to 100% renewable in this context, but about having a good enough supply of renewable energy to be more independent.

Are you talking about any specific part of Europe? In Sweden I think natural gas is supposedly something like 3% of totalt energy expenditure, although it is important for heating in some areas and dearth would affect that a lot i assume.

Didn't Jobs have a cult of personality? I remember that was talked about quite a lot back then.

I also don't see these scams as "our industry". I'm not in bitcoin and NFTs. This is old fashioned scammers moving to the new medium that we created.

It's not us. It doesn't look like us, and I doubt anyone would mistake it for us, but it might be something we enabled.

Internet was going to be the ultimate democratising tool. Everybody would have access to all information at any time. Anyone could publish anything. Gone are the gatekeepers of old. But it turns out "anyone" includes scammers, manipulators, propagandists, hate-mongers, conspiracy-spreaders and other liars, and now it's become really hard for a lot of people to distinguish lies from truth.

Turns out everybody has access to all misinformation.
In some countries there's no such thing as Spelling Bee as there is no such activity as spelling (or even a word for it). When I was a kid, if somebody didn't hear you well over the phone, you might repeat the name or word slower or louder. But if somebody heard you well, even if it's a brand new word or name, they can write it.

There was only one way to write down a heard word, and only one way to read a written word (minus possibly intonation/accents that cannot be captured either way). So while I disagree with some of the specific choices in the joke story (and they possibly inadvertently have some deal breaking inconsistencies, especially around the reformed i) dear gawd yes, we can simplify this nightmare that English calls spelling :O
Early Access is probably the most significant development in the video game industry. Complex titles like Factorio, Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress or Minecraft wouldn't be possible without it, both from a design perspective (continuous player feedback) and a financing perspective (derisking by getting early market validation). Before Minecraft popularized the only ways to get that kind of depth was in an MMO (which is more or less the same thing as a subscription model) or to a lesser degree in a game that iterated a lot by releasing sequels or extension packs (both of which are much slower to iterate).
Well, thats what happens when a bunch of transatlantik stooges of Klaus Schwab get into office.
If we were to run with this idea then humans lacking in particular nutrients should be able crave specific foods that are abundant in the nutrients theyre lacking.

But we dont see this in people with diets that consist of low nutrient high calorie processed food. Instead they just keep eating and eating the same food and gaining weight while developing nutrient deficiencies.

With that said I have noticed that ovee the years I have been able to notice tje differencd between a need for caloroes and protein, but thats probably because I've experienced low blopd sugar enough to know the symptoms -- I get hangry.
And it looks to me like it was resolved pretty professionally.
It is not impossible. Russia is adamant that Ukraine should not join NATO, and you can understand why. Positive moves from the US in that direction would have the outcome we see.

To what extent NATO members wish (or wished) to defend Ukraine will become evident, but their inaction today does not bode well.

How do you measure the external difficulties someone faced along the way?

My personal heritage includes one of mankind's most horrific periods of slavery.

Can you tell me which external difficulties I have faced? Can you tell me what I am owed by society?
Affirmative action is not measuring someone's achievements relatively to the external difficulties they faced. It's treating people differently because of their race. I.e. Racism.

You could give an advantage to people who grew up in poor areas, had poor parents, graduated from poorly preforming schools (or failed to graduate at all), etc. If you wanted to help people who faced more adversity.

Affirmative action discriminates in favour of the children of millionaires who had every opportunity to succeed but happen to be black, and against white and Asian kids who grew up in a trailer park and went to a school that couldn't afford books.

It's what happens when you target statistics without caring about people. People are individuals, not statistical representatives of demographic groups. You can't fix discrimination by discriminating, but you can hide it and that's what affermtive action seeks to do.
No, not really I guess?

This covers ruby basics in ~20 minutes:

I made it to hedge against my forgetfulness after binge-reading ruby books knowing if I wanted to retain any of this new material I'd need minimal examples that I could easily rerun when needed.

This is the resulting ruby refresher starting from the absolute basics.

If you're insomnia stems from stress or anxiety, tracking it is really risky and will make it more than likely worse.
Isn't it even more secure, because you don't have any password that could be leaked?

I was thinking about simplifying my setup by replacing Auth0 with Mailgun.
Yes, lol.

So, why not cut out the middle man?!
Yes it is. And a valid observation.

It do not believe it a sensible default when the filename doesn't tell you what, or when/version. Even when you pick a branch or tag you only get release.zip, and not the project name.
When it comes to specifically dynamically loading external libraries - is there a reason SCI can't incorporate `add-libs`? I mean clearly some libraries wouldn't load and will break (like if it's using Java code or something), but I imagine it could work for a large subset of code.

I get there are a few ways to have a REPL in the browser, but it seems a bit primitive if you can't get any libraries in (short of copy pasting namespaces). I understand babashka includes some internally - so it makes it at least suitable for a subset of tasks. But I think this dynamic library loader is a more flexible solution (or I'm overlooking some technical hurdle here)
Borovets, Bulgaria is incredible place both for starting with snowboard, and for intermediate and expert off-piste activities also. Lots of very nice runs - popular, and not so obvious also.

IBM is probably not somewhere you want to build a long term career in any case.

They're known for ageism[1] amongst other things, which won't affect new graduates but should be seen as a canary in a coal mine.

If they're penalising people solely based on age what are the chances they'll also penalise you for not matching some other non-performance based criteria?

At the core, "racism" means: discrimination because of race.

This happens very often because that race is also a minority.

So much so that most experience of racism is also the experience of being discriminated for being a minority.

That doesn't make racism against a majority in the wider population less racist. It just doesn't make it racism and not minority discrimination.

The "reverse" of something that isn't strictly a logical statement could mean any number of things: is "reverse racism" positive discrimination? Is it the lack of discrimination because of race? Is it discrimination because of lack of racial identity? is it simply "msicar" (racism spelled backwards)?

What one tries to say is: "Reverse racism" is supposed to mean "racist behavior towards a group of people that make out the majority of the population". That has a word: It's "racism". It unfortunately overlaps with the type of racism that happens on minorities, but there's nothing "reverse" about it. "Reverse" carries some undertone of "retributal", as in being racist back because of racist treatment... there's a whole can of worms of implied meaning here that is not well-intended or seeks to understand why people behave racist. Whereas if you use the term "racism" to describe this behavior, it's actually well-defined.
> why not call it "sanctioned racism"?

You should. The media won't, because it now becomes a loaded term. You can make fun of "reverse" racism, but not "sanctioned" racism.

Sometimes I wonder whose side these so-called centrist/neutral or even expressly right-wing publications are on because they often present the weakest argument in favor of an issue that is all but ready for opponents to demolish.
They wouldn't need to make any physical or behavioural changes, so I don't see why they would lose any of the things you mention.

> Is synchronisation a problem? 1Password does it all for me, I don't even notice it.

It is for me. I use a command line password manager using the `pass` tool. I choose not to use any browser extensions or sync these passwords in a way where they leave my main workstation.

It's really inconvenient when I need to use my phone to login to some site. It involves manually typing in some password that looks like this: aC6)&hahi*`9$Ik+WU7xA[igDfw\w'"VC_^VKh{<|PU~EQb{. You have any idea how tedious that is to do on a phone, especially when the site doesn't offer a way to see the password with a toggle? :D, on my workstation my password manager copies it to my clipboard for a short period of time so there's no typing involved.

Magic links solve this problem because all I have to do is be logged into my email account to be able to access any site that uses magic links.

I tried Dart when I heard Notch was spending his time with it several years ago. Then I found a Lisp implemented in Dart in 2016, which has been updated [1]. I think in hindsight, if Google had kept supporting Dart, it would have been invigorated by the Flutter wave. I am looking to use Flutter for an app, but the iOS lag has me concerned.

> Average minutes to airborne? Median? Mode? 90th percentile? 99th percentile?

Facetious answer: yes.

More useful answer: you want to record the full timeseries of individual data points. From this you can derive mean, median, mode, 90th percentile, 99th percentile and any other statistic that is shaped like hole in your cost–benefit calculations. Including trends and changing variance.

For reporting purposes, the upper process behaviour limit is probably a good one as "the" numeric value of the KPI, but the true value is in the timeseries.
I'm very grateful that the game was not longer, I loved playing through it, but I don't have the time for a +100 hour story.

I'll pay extra for a shorter and more interesting story line any day.

I completed the game before the second patch came out, I didn't really hit any bugs, maybe once or twice I had to save and reload it.

An intense and ACTUALLY INTERSTING main story of about 10 hours, with no grind or "let's waste your time with these menial tasks" in between, that is my preference.

Context: If I'm lucky, I can squeeze 1 or 2 hours in maybe 3 or 4 evenings per week, at the evening when I'm maxmially tired from the demands of real life, and at that point, I have very little tolerance for a game trying to waste my precious time.
So to the point of dogfooding it, the key thing that let me do that was the combination of DrB, Pry and snapshots that quickly got me to a point where I didn't need to be afraid of losing data.

I don't know how familiar you are with Ruby, but DrB lets you remote Ruby objects pretty trivially. So the first thing the editor does on startup is try to connect to a server holding the buffers, and if one isn't running it'll spawn itself in server mode.

The server on startup reloads the latest snapshot of all the buffers from a JSON file. I can delete those buffers, but currently my server process holds 1757 buffers loaded from about 52MB of JSON. Some of those buffers have literally been "open" for several years.

Because of DrB remoting the buffer storage like that is a couple of hundred lines of code total. The server runs a thread that snapshots the buffers to disk every few seconds, so if the server crashes I won't lose much unless things are heavily corrupted. I'm actually at a point where I'd like to start paring that back because crashes are so rare that there's no point snapshotting that often (but I like not having to think about whether or not I've saved files before shutting down my laptop).

The beauty of this is that DrB forwards everything you want it to, including exceptions caused by the server-side code. Which means that short of me doing something stupid that silently corrupts the buffers, it takes a lot to bring down the server so badly that I lose the ability to keep using existing open editor windows.

Couple that with an exception handler that throws me into Pry (a REPL), and even a server-side exception will "just" throw me to a repl where I can inspect both the client-side and server-side state, including taking steps to e.g. save anything important.

I found that once I felt confident I wouldn't lose data putting up with bugs and missing pieces to get to the point where I used it daily was pretty easy. To the point where most of the time I edit the editor source code in itself, and run my editor instances from my editor working directory. Of course now and again I end up being forced to use another instance because I've broken something, but it also helps expose bugs quickly so it's worth it.
> But that might not include anything recognisable as "fishing" or harvesting wild populations

That's just not true. About half of scientifically assessed fish stocks at or above target levels, thus sustainably harvested, or they are successfully rebuilding from previous overexploitation i.e. fisheries management is working. One can easily consume seafood without engaging in "Taking from the sea until it has nothing left to give". Doing so reduces the land footprint of your diet, and for some seafood like whitefish, small pelagics or cultured bivalves, you will probably decrease your carbon footprint, even relative to a vegan diet.
Haven't played CP so I can't comment on this specific aspect, but actions like hacking, taking over cameras, robots, or augmenting your character were already present in earlier tiles. Specifically, Deus Ex can be praised here. The hacking mini games were great, while augmentations opened many new ways to complete the missions, dramatically changing the gameplay.
To me, such immersion breaking bugs are the worst, especially in an RPG that is supposed to immerse you in a world.
I used to use AdNauseam a while back, until ads started to show suddenly. So I switched to UBlock Origin, and ads stopped to show again.

After I read your comment, I disabled UO and installed AN again. Maybe some update fixed the issues. But it didn't. I'm now back using UO again.
> moreso that Facebook/Meta has very few new innovations and prefers to acquire them.

This isn't unique to facebook/Meta though: plenty of companies switch more toward the acquisition of innovation than the creation of it. Microsoft was like this for a long time. Apple, Google, and Amazon have also made their fair share of acquisitions over the years.

Introducing new products/value propositions is hard, even in adjacent markets, and most will fail. It's often easier to acquire something instead once you reach the point where you can afford to do so.
Research suggests that happiness isn't quite that simple. It's not obvious which direction the causation arrow points. See for example this podcast on the topic:

Additionally: if you play the system and encourage other people to do so, the system becomes inefficient. Imagine 80% of the candidates claiming to be part of racial a minority, and no way to verify that without doing proper DNA-based racial profiling (which no company / university / association wants to do). When everyone is / claims to be a minority, there are no more minorities.

Have you noticed how universities flaunt diversity statistics on their web sites, but getting stats on socioeconomic background is like pulling teeth, if you can get to the data at all?
We already are well past that point.

We lack the power to do that. You can't control who somebody's parents are, and we observe that birth status has huge statistical significance in opportunities available to an individual.

Are you equivalently comfortable tracking humans who do not ponder privacy and/or realize they are being tracked? Honest question, I know some developers will give an unequivocal “yes” to the above.

As for the discomfort, I don’t have a link but it was a Love Nature episode focused on rhinos. They stated they needed to invest in heavy duty materials affixed to the horn by drilling through it otherwise the rhinos would remove the device. In the same episode a rhino died of suffocation after the tranquilizer knocked them unconscious in an undesirable position, and the verdict was that such occurrences were unavoidable costs of doing business.
Yes, it is science fiction, but I think it drives home the dark forest idea.

Elon Musk is more than just strange. He's definitely stranger than Steve Jobs, but also has his cult of personality, he picks stupid internet fights, takes on ridiculous challenges, and over-promises on them, but although he under-delivers on those promises, he does deliver. And what he delivers, still has had a massive impact.

At the same time, he constantly seems to be teetering on the edge of destroying his whole enterprise. Jobs was more careful, less extreme.
I’m sure the 6th fine will be the one that shows NL really means business.
While Dart has always compiled to JS, TypeScript has always been "JS with types." Any JS file is a valid TS file if you change the filetype from .js to .ts but Dart has always been its own thing. I don't think Dart was ever natively supported in Chrome; there was a development fork of Chrome in which it was supported but it was never mainstreamed (unless my memory is faulty on this -- it has been several years). The rumor was that Google would put Dart support into Chrome and suddenly web apps like Gmail and Maps and G-Suite would see a 20x performance increase while using fewer resources, all because they had been re-written in Dart, and that would push the rest of the web to at least seriously consider Dart if not adopt it. Clearly that didn't happen.
I like the ambiguous Ballardian language of reverence towards the mall and its staff. It's charming and also a little creepy.
No, because Facebook and IBM aren't the same in terms of culture. My impression of IBM is that you need to file reports in triplicate every time you use a paperclip.

I have worked with and met people from several smaller, freewheeling startups who were either ex-FB, or turned down an FB offer. In all cases the smaller company had a high initial offer that was lower than FB, but also had a more chilled out culture where promos didn't mean the dog-and-pony show it reportedly is at FB (I wonder if FB is, ironically, more bureaucratic than IBM in this regard?).
Not to nerd snipe anyone (I'm having to stop myself as I write this) but couldn't you gather the star ratings of all of these sorts of repair centers/stores and get the overall average?
