I remember working at early-stage Amazon in 1998, and I would check Slashdot something like 4-5x per day. I remember that period before and after Slashdot was acquired by Andover.net fondly, especially CmdrTaco, Hemos, and CowboyNeal.

I would also include, along with Everything2, (I recall a guy named Tim Vroom—I think he attended Hope College with the Slashdot guys as well?) its sister site PerlMonks.org. Man, I spent a lot of time there learning Perl and reading up on CPAN modules. I'd hate to be maintaining any of the code we wrote then now though!
No hassle. The Russians just have to confiscate them like the French do.

Hmm could this also be because they have to get through the x-ray scanners more often than regular travellers?
Interesting. You could do this parallel rays effect with a lot of lower power leds and microlenses too? Could work with air cooling then (more surface area).
Yes - mine was no-fuss, but my sister had major reflux-like complaints and great discomfort after hers.
Well, 50 or more euros for an RTF text editor (with versioning support) is a bit.... rich?
You can all but get rid of that peak if you're willing to pay for really high CRI LEDs. Check out these for example https://www.waveformlighting.com/high-cri-led
High ceiling and large plentiful windows also increase the heating need. Should you want to reduce you energy consumption, you have to reach a balance. Within that balance light is pretty low in any energy budget. In France it's 10% of the electricity consumed by people.

Energy consumption for heat can also be solved by thicker walls and better insulation, but how are those walls and insulation produced? Are we talking about energy or carbon reduction? It's tough to analyze the whole chain. Burning wood is carbon-neutral, but can be carcinogenic when not fully efficient, and transporting wood can generate carbon...

What I'm getting to is that it's a complex system, and among that system, pollution due to light generation is really, really, really low at the bottom of the priority list.
That one is really good.
I just dislike how non-native it feels and looks.
> Legally mandating remote work

That's... extremely totalitarian :) ...but legally forcing employers to allow remote work X days a week for jobs where it makes sense + solid investment in public transit would make wonders.
I don't believe the hype yet. Fusion numbers do not represent the practical power output [1]. 2025 seems a bit too optimistic.

Actually in Russia Nazis are known for killing Russians, not jews.
There were about 40 millions of Soviet People killed in WW2.

So when Ukraine made https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepan_Bandera its national hero and even built some monuments, it became very easy to convince people that there are real nazi here. It was like a gift to Russian propaganda.

Not to mention the existence of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Battalion

Not sure why you have to jump straight to "a combo 7-11/gas station" when you're much more likely to get a nice little coffee shop\eatery.
Added dark mode and set up the About page outlining some of the thoughts for the site.
Unfortunately they are able to replace quality by quantity. Their tech in Ukraine is from 50s and 60s (I know by first hand experience) but they are just too many...
> So, take that 40% new gas generation with a grain of salt.

It's not 40% new gas. It's 40% new "not Solar/ Batteries". From the article:

> The remaining 34 GW of planned capacity additions over the next two years will largely come from natural gas (16 GW) and wind (15 GW)

In both cases these are subject to permission fights, because almost the same NIMBYs who oppose a gas plant will also oppose a wind farm, only the locations and arguments are different because in practice these groups tend to be BANANAs (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone).
> UK here for context. We only have to fast for 12-24 hours prior to the colonoscopy. You can drink water or plain tea (no sugar, cream or milk).

Are you saying you only have to fast, without laxatives/prep? How does that work? I find it hard to imagine that anyone's colon is clean enough to get a good view after only fasting for a day?

Daily reminder that "carbon footprint" is a marketing term that BP invented back in 2005 to shift the responsibility away from themselves and onto the consumer. There's absolutely no change that you can make to your website (not even shutting it down) that will make any sort of difference to the climate situation. It's just feel-good pretense to avoid doing any actual activism.
The homepage looks great, but IMO does a poor job of transmitting the value proposition.

After the What, it is straight up about the How. It shows me how some hiring report looks like. But it misses completely on the Why. I don’t know what problem the tool would fix for me.

The HN post for example explains the problem much better:

- companies have even in the best case of not doing stupid LeetCode only low quality, unmaintained, unchanging coding problems because it’s valuable time spent not on the actual business. Outsourcing to a centralized service allows for high quality, maintained, and frequently new coding problems. A service precisely allows that not every company must redo the work again and roll their own.

- interview can spend more time on the human, less time on the work. Getting to know the team and the company, culture fit, etc.

IMO this should be the headline. And only after that the nitty gritty details about the How like how the report looks, etc.
You can do a lot with just bash + pipes + unix tools. It can get messy as your pipeline grows though, and there are a lot of edge cases.

Wouldn’t that data necessarily lag by so many decades as to be useless?
If you just want cold storage, you can put 10TB of compressed textual data on a spinning hard drive. If want to run some processing of that data within a workday, you need multiple drives in parallel (still possible on a single server). However, if you want to process it in less than 30 mins you need a cluster.
As a previously strongly practising Buddhist, I can say, Buddhism is a total scam. Some of the absolute worst and most deluded people I've known are devout Buddhists. I even had a formal teacher and even he could do nothing to help me develop compassion. Perhaps the Dharma is dead in this world or something, but it seems to not actually work anymore.
Maybe. But oil companies were huge behemoths while solar I think is more smaller companies. (Though this may change in 15 years.) Plus the value proposition for fusion is so clear that it is going to be hard to argue against. We are going to need to use fusion power to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere.
Here's a Python library with a CLI:

I don't think they will win. Their morale is very low, OSINT is full of abandoned vehicles.

At this point, they are losing equipment much faster than they can produce new one, no one can churn out a dozen new military helicopters in 2 weeks. This alone will be a major source of attrition. Meanwhile, the Ukrainians are getting very efficient weapons from the West and they are being replenished constantly. If Russia could have prevented the inflow, they would have done so.

Sieges of big cities are a messy, protracted affair that may take years (see: Sarajevo, Leningrad). They consume enormous resources - e.g. Leningrad was besieged by 750 000 Germans. Russia isn't capable of supplying a much smaller task force right now.

What makes you think that they could mobilize "endless cannon fodder" (e.g. five million men or so), equip them with something more efficient than AK-47s, throw them into the theater and supply them with fuel, ammo and food if they are struggling to supply a mere 180 000?
> Who will side with Russia?

Probably an insignificant country called China.
If you're willing to hook up the power supply and cooling yourself, then I suspect this would be excellent https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08H5BWJ86 Also available off AliExpress (but it's not any cheaper). IME, if the CRI is high enough then the cooler colour temperatures are much more pleasant and 4-5k is ideal.
I don't think it's true to say that Europe and the US are equally willing to apply sanctions. The entire theme of the months before the invasion was that the US was willing to go fast and hard on sanctions whilst European countries were largely split. As it turns out Russia's actions were so extreme that essentially it collapsed that split. But that's also because Europe is far more affected by Russia's war on Ukraine than the US. You see this in the exceptions to the sanctions- gas & oil that Europe is dependent on, and the support the US is providing in terms of procuring LNG for Europe. The US has demonstrably been working to enable and encourage Europe to sanction Russia.
> Optimizing for speed usually causes increased memory consumption,

Lol, no?

If your benchmark is memory bound, reducing memory usage is probably the simplest way to make it faster.
ZFS can easily protect you from that:

>>it is designed with a focus on data integrity by protecting the user's data on disk against silent data corruption caused by data degradation, power surges (voltage spikes), bugs in disk firmware, phantom writes (the previous write did not make it to disk), misdirected reads/writes (the disk accesses the wrong block), DMA parity errors between the array and server memory or from the driver (since the checksum validates data inside the array), driver errors (data winds up in the wrong buffer inside the kernel), accidental overwrites (such as swapping to a live file system), etc.

In today's world, a B52 is only useful if the US has absolute air superiority in that airspace. Romanian airspace is a vulnerable location.
I seem to remember that "bit peeling" was designed into Ogg Vorbis audio from early on, such that the data stream could be encoded in order of decreasing audio perceptibility such that data frames could be truncated at certain points and you'd get a good lower-bitrate stream. However, I've never read of a Vorbis encoder that actually encoded that way.

The problem is price spikes have a much lower impact on people who are reasonably well off, which is a lot of people with high consumption. They may reduce their energy usage a bit, but a lot of them will just take this hit financially because they can afford it. Frankly I'm in that category, a doubling of energy prices might reduce my savings for the year but by itself would be unlikely to affect my energy usage much. Meanwhile people on low incomes get absolutely hammered, and they probably have low usage anyway so there's not much they can even do about it.

In a situation like this price signalling isn't enough. We need to treat it as the emergency it is, and my family and I have got to do some thinking about our usage and how to reduce it, but that needs to happen across the European economies.
I dont understand this news article.

1. It claims russian used unsecure 3g with local SIM cards, and were intercepted

Then:

2. It claims russian couldn't use "Era" because they destroyed 3g/4g towers.

Is this two unrelated events or same?
>>"obviously most people don't want it enough to attend town halls and learn whose business interests is blocking progress"

So you should decide what people want, not the people that live there?

People do show up at the polls when they want something, this is not what they want, so they don't show up.

You know who wants it? huge corporations that would be more than happy to destroy quiet residential areas so they can sell $6 cups of coffee and increase the value of their stock.
25 years ago my company Needed to match lists against a collection numbers not to call. Probably ran lists of 20k daily or more.
So I wrote up a simple python program to match against a special format txt file. A few seconds for big lists at most.

Higher up IT people were horrified, and commissioned a proper oracle soliton. It ran around a 1-2 records per second. So all day for a typical list. They were quite proud of this.
I think they spent 25-50 grand on IBM support to get it setup.

They were not happy when we said we would only consider using it if they could speed it up 5000 times faster.

We never heard back.

> Does anyone believe the EU and US are capable of and willing to degrade the Russian economy to the point of mass famine?

I think North Korea has some comparability - the West provides aid in spite of an antagonistic ruler. But in similar vein the West would prefer both rulers to spend more time working for their citizens’ economic wellbeing than on militaristic projects.
Small towns are not for everyone. It's hard to escape small towns, everybody knows you and the cultural activities are just very limited. I feel quite trapped in my small student-city, there's just nothing new anymore and I am quite bored of the usual activities. In those superblocks you are still living in the city and it's easy reach other parts. But you don't have to for your day-to-day needs.
Yes thats right lol

Their super-secure state of the art encrypted bs relies on enemy 4G towers. And their radio communications are completely unusable at this point due to constant jamming

They use 2G which seems to be unaffected
Xcode has a nicer, more robust UI and I like it for that. I actually like that I don't have to configure every last thing via some text file. However, the syntax highlighting/autocomplete/language support seems to crash or slow down far too often. It's just one (or two) built in languages, not 3 different plugin LSPs running on the same file like VSCode, so it really should be better, not much worse.
I do too, but I wish they'd do something with it instead of letting it languish. Scrobbling keeps breaking. How hard could it be to keep a scrobbling site up in 2022?
Could this be the case where she was not as healthy as she thought? I mean, we do not know if there was some vitamin / mineral deficiency or the diet for that matter that she was following exactly.
Thanks for the explanation!

But the thing is, it's not a subscription. If Lunar keeps working for you, you can avoid updating after the free period of updates ends. No need to pay again.

If you don't upgrade your Mac hardware to something exotic (like the M1 upgrade), and if macOS doesn't pull the rug from under us, devs that play with the DDC protocol, then you won't need any updates.

But Lunar is very dependent on the hardware, because it talks low-level I²C with the monitor controller.

So if you upgrade, and I have to spend thousands of dollars on new hardware and months on reverse engineering it, I expect to be paid for it.

You pay for the product as is now, not for my unlimited future time.
> This is war, but everywhere I look the lights are on and people only save if there's a price spike.

I don't think you're going to get people to collectively reduce energy usage unless there is a direct incentive to do so, e.g. the price spikes you yourself mention.

The best way to solve this is probably through regulation. In the case of leaving the lights on, this has mostly been "solved" by banning incandescent light bulbs which use ~10x as much energy as the LED light bulbs that are in use everywhere now. I think this is as good as it's gonna get right now with light bulbs. Energy usage of household appliances can be solved in the same way (not sure if it is, I just know about the labeling) and—at least in my country—heating consumption is being solved by increasing insulation requirements pretty hard.
I'm young and that's probably the reason why I'm less cynical. Hurdles can't be a reason not to run the race. For me it's like project management: you're 100% sure that nothing is going to go according to the plan, and that you'll end up far from the target, but still, planning is better than not planning. And adapting the plan along the way is best.

I really hate when people are talking about these, it's like a big FOMO of YOLO, and is often used for telling (sometimes selling) you what to do in indirect forcing way. Lots of people won't have chances or conditions that let them do what you tell them to do. There should be another way to encourage people to improve their quality of life without saying they will regret if they don't have chances.
Consume less, on paper, is easy, in practice it depend. Personally I have a small f.v. (south France) with battery backup, in sunny days almost all the year I have enough energy to waste it. In other days I need energy as anyone else. No battery can compensate.

Doubling my battery capacity (witch is NOT cheat at all) just means having more energy from one sunny day to another. Survive just one day without sun means 4* the battery and I have to count the fact that does not have a reasonably good lifespan for the price.

Essentially: it's unfeasible. And I'm talking about a "A-class" (BBC) house, so with very little energy needs compared to old ones.
On a population wide evaluation, you are correct. However, some people are just more susceptible. It's complex, but if you just take a simplistic view of a single gene becoming cancerous, some people are only 1 mutation away and others are hundreds.

I was just watching yesterday a guy who is probably mid 50s talking about how he worked for 20 years getting up early in the morning and being stuck indoors looking at his screensaver and imaging he was in it. He was saving up for a catamaran and when he had enough money , he quit to sail the world with his younger girlfriend. Boomer dreams do come true. Sailing Joy was his channel.

We can added cosmetics/deodorants/etc and cleaning products to the list, fire retardants, micro plastics, radio waves (perhaps?), and the list goes on. Every one of them is a potential hazard.

Where it gets even worse is that these potentially carcinogenic toxics are hardly tested individually for their long-term effects, let alone in combinations. And unfortunately, the few biotoxicology studies that have been done show that mixes are dangerous at concentrations 1 to 2 orders of magnitudes lower than the different items taken individually..
If you improve CPU performance, you can compress memory with the leftover cycles. This is what I do on my RPi which allows me to run quite a few memory hungry processes at the cost of some CPU (which is fine, because those processes are mostly idle).

Not sure why you are assuming it won't be a 7-11 or a Starbucks or a Subway or a McDonalds - because statistically, that is what you are going to get - drive thru almost any city , and that is what you have. Hoping you get some small mom-and-pop bakery is just a fantasy. Reality says you will get big well funded chain stores that most people don't want in their neighborhoods.

Less opportunities for startups for running actual stable business products there isn't helping either. I have heard a first hand story how the government just stopped some cloud access, which caused some company that had built its product on top of it to immediately close down.
It's caused by frequent air travel. While flying, there is less atmospheric shielding against cosmic ray radiation compared to being on the ground. Even though you get less radiation from an average flight than from medical x-ray, it adds up.

There are also projects to tear out hydro dams, especially smaller ones, because they are ecologically destructive. So while huge dams may generate enough power to justify the ecological cost, a 1MW dam on some relatively minor river may not justify its existence and so it gets torn back out to enable the river to be restored. You can put a bunch of solar panels on malls and office blocks and make up a big chunk of that power without destroying a river, the malls and offices are already our fault because we put them there, so adding solar panels probably doesn't worsen the impact.
And they are certainly reassessing their chances of success and consequences right now, probably going back to the drawing board for some time.
> Global numbers from last year: […] in 2020

eh? did you mean to say the year before last?

According to https://ourworldindata.org/renewable-energy the energy mix in renewables in 2020 was, in order:

Hydropower: 4355.04
Wind: 1590.19
Solar: 844.39
Others, inc. bioenergy: 702.89

To me it seems like the renewables story is as much about mega-dam hydropower and bioenergy as it is about wind and solar pv.
How much energy went into the industry that made those appliances, your food, etc though?
I think a lot of people underestimate that.
