BEVs are also a better way of economizing wide scale distribution of storage throughout the grid. With one battery per car, you do run into load shifting issues (everyone generally charging at home during the same night time interval, even if that interval is half a day), but as it's not that hard to take the same tech in the car and strap it to the wall, as opposed to hydrogen, you get what is probably a way bigger ROI per cell.

Of course that requires some coordination from the same kind of entity that is apparently wasting money already on energy transportation and storage.
The "delete" example on the readme is a bit odd, since it seems to suggest that you need to specify the value to delete as well as the path. The equivalent in the documentation does not have this problem.
I think you may have to recheck those facts.

All power sources are intermittent, and nuclear is no exception. Nuclear power plants go offline unexpectedly all the time. Every energy grid needs a mix of sources to deal with intermittent production, preferably ones that are controllable and can follow loads.

Nuclear power is not quick to follow loads. This makes it good for base load, somewhat able to do load following, and unable to handle peak loads. Currently peak loads are handled using fossil fuel plants. Even if a country embraces nuclear power wholesale they will still have to invest in storage as well if they want a green energy grid, to be able to fully handle peaks. Hydro (dam) storage is not what is being looked at in most places because of cost and climate impact (concrete), the current plans involve a mix of batteries and hydrogen.

And finally, current nuclear power depends on uranium, and many countries have to import that, so it’s not quite geographically independent. There are approaches for nuclear power technologies that reduce the need for uranium, but all attempts to build those and run them at reasonable cost have failed.
That's a really great argument for never subsidizing renewable energy or investing in electric cars or, you know, the wheel.

Research is never the optimal strategy in the short term but it pays off in the long term. Every once in a while we get a lemon, but it's the cost of doing science.
I never use the macOS calculator app. I enter my expressions into Google search. I can't be the only one who does this.

I would appreciate a better online calculator than Google web search. What do others use, WolframAlpha?
Batteries at least types used in vehicles have similar risks. Actually gasoline and diesel are relatively safe and easy to handle fires comparatively.
We can certainly hurt them with sanctions.
What software is that? I'd love to see it in real time rather than screenshots
No, this is simply not true.
If Russia attacked Poland NATO would knock out every power plant and major bridge in Russia within an hour. Putin would likely be dead within 20 minutes.
This is from 2017 (although it appears to have some updates from 2020 with respect to the "Dietary Guidelines for Americans").

Am I missing something? What's the significance now? Just "this is still important so let's repost it"?

"for example we only have proof of 2 actual russian air losses, a far cry from the 35-40 claimed by the ukrainian side"

We have way more than two Russian air losses proven.

“First, the era ended slowly, and then it ended all at once. It ended slowly as China rose in power, in wealth. And then it ended all at once with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the sharp revitalization of the NATO alliance, to some degree of a Western identity in response.” — Ezra Klein.

“this is not just about a world of power politics. There is also the question of, how much have the liberal ideas, practices and institutions that have been built up over the last century, how much have they changed the world so that it’s not zero-sum? To what extent have we created a world of interdependence, commerce, capitalism, travel, contact, values, that mean that we shouldn’t just be applying this power political set of ideas to the world?” — Fareed Zakaria.
Math education has become torturously miserable in the US by moving extraordinarily slowly. You have multiple years of working on only slightly more complex equations and concepts and naturally people get sick of it.

You have generations of teachers who barely know math and view it as a punishment, teaching kids and instilling the same views in them.

And then you have outsider still saying "can't we have condense it and simplify it further so we won't have to learn all these useless abstractions" and the curriculum bends further this way. But these actual situation of math is that not understanding what's happening is the thing makes it an empty and unpleasant activity.

Edit: Also, yeah, 90%-99% of math can be accomplished with some math software. It's just for the remaining small percentage of stuff you need some understanding and for a small percentage of that you need lots of understanding. So most of this seems useless but 99% correct is actually not enough in some significant number of technical situations, etc.
The scientific method and accepting axioms because they are 'useful' or for any other wishy-washy reason are incompatible.

Sorry.
From the study:

>Collectively, these observations strongly suggest that these UAVs should be carefully studied by scientists [9,10,11,12,13].

>Unfortunately, the attitude that the study of UAVs (UFOs) is “unscientific” pervades the scientific community, including SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) [34], which is surprising, especially since efforts are underway to search for extraterrestrial artifacts in the solar system [35,36,37,38,39], particularly, on the Moon, Mars, asteroids [40], and at Earth-associated Lagrange points. Ironically, such attitudes inhibit scientific study, perpetuating a state of ignorance about these phenomena that has persisted for well over 70 years, which is now especially detrimental, since answers are presently needed [41,42,43,44,45,46].
I actually use a variant of the Clickwheel on a daily basis.

I use a synaptics touchpad on a Thinkpad T490. There are Linux programs that allow you to control the properties of your touchpad. And guess what? Synaptics allows for 'circular scrolling'. I've seen it also written as 'chiral' scrolling.

But yeah, it works almost the same.

Let alone my experience, I have NEVER seen an argument supporting this conclusion. If anything, it's the opposite.
How can anyone blame Amazon here? They saw the massive success of labor exploitation that Uber and the gig economy was enjoying and had to jump in, too. Any good monopolist should feel obligated to step on others to help themselves. How these modern day robber barrons have such amazing PR is beyond my comprehension abilities. This seems the case within tech circles (even when it is well known that they are hostile towards their own white collar employees) and across the general public.

The $0.10/fee per delivery, with ~150 deliveries per route and up to $0.15 /unit bonus (that number is probably astronomically hard to achieve) seems like peanuts? Does a route only take an hour to complete? If that is the case, then Amazon probably just wants so much excess capacity so as to be detrimental to the contractors. Google's Leapforce/Lionsbridge followed this same model for search quality raters-- hiring more and more raters, leading to an excess of raters, causing many to abandon the platform due to insufficient work volume (paid per piece) and subsequently lowering per rate fees for the remaining raters. It just seems like our gradual slide back into serfdom.
My dad (62) just had big heart attack in January. 100% blockage in a vein covering 60%+ of his heart. The surgeon who put his stent in called his EKG “impressive”.
He’s never eaten very well or exercised much, and the Mediterranean diet was one of the ones they recommended. My mom (always reading health books) decided to go for an extreme no fat, no oil(!) diet instead, which is difficult in practice. His labs six weeks later showed a greater than 100pt drop in his cholesterol and 30lbs+ of weight loss. He’s able to come off of his previous blood pressure medication, is sleeping better than ever and adding distance to his daily mile walk.
Anyway, if you or someone you know is at high risk, turnarounds are absolutely possible with diet, and it might be worth further examining oils and “good fats” if your body doesn’t process cholesterol well.
My understanding is that though these weapons were located on Ukrainian soil they were under the control of Soviet (and later, Russian) armed forces, and never really could have been used by Ukraine. Short of an assault on the bases, I suppose.

A situation more akin to the US stationing nukes at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, rather than a governmental shakeup landing a bunch of nukes in the hands of Ukraine's new government. Does anyone have further sources on this?
I think @rakoo has a great description (below) about matrix being so much more than a mere chat system.

As far as where to learn more, maybe try visiting: https://matrix.org/discover

Also, i think i learned the most by reading the client-server api spec, and figuring out how to leverage the api to send messages into a room (from a little throw-away command line app i built)...but then, i dissolved my thinking that my little playing arouind had to be a "chat message" that gets sent into a roomn, and pretended the rooms and messages were for other contexts...and that is when my brain blew up, and that matrix is much more beyond just a chat messaging protocol. From my little playing around i grew to understand use cases like event synching between, say, IoT devices, and on and on... Admittedly, the chat use case is pretty easy to get acquanted with matrix. But i feell that there is so much more in store for the future of matrix. There are lots of clever people out there; i can't wait to see what else they build with matrix!

EDIT: UPDATE...My apologies, i should not have assumed you were a dev/techie and would be willing or had the availabnility to "just build an app" in order to learn about a thing; sorry! My note about visiting the /discover page still would help in any case. :-)
Or have we have enough capacity installed to step-down voltages between transport and charging. The whole grid infra is lot more complex than just some wires.
What a sad little species we humans are. Waging wars like primates, destroying the lives of millions of our fellow beings and ruining our planet, instead of understanding that tribalism gets us no where. We live on a tiny blob in an infinite universe, yet we are captives of our very own narrow mindsets. I guess we do deserve our little corner of irrelevancy.
Why is it more plausible than heat pumps? We don't have infrastructure to ship hydrogen the way we do natural gas. It's not like one can use the same pipes.

Why are heat pumps not plausible? You can get them today.
This is a confusing comment: your birth name is on your birth certificate, but it isn't the same thing as your birth certificate. Even if it were illegal to "use your birth certificate" (for what?), why in the world would it be illegal to use your name?

Also, for the record: my birth certificate doesn't say anything like that on it. My social security card does, however. But that doesn't actually make it illegal to use as an ID.
The citations are in the talk page of the article I linked. And a few of them are even at the end of the lead paragraph of the main page. The entire comment was about the citations that are in the article but still ignored in the main body ;)

Republicanism still selects for scoundrels.

Yes, it pits them against each other and thereby reduces their power -- in theory -- but it still selects for them. It doesn't even claim to be good at keeping them away. It only claims to reduce their power.

I don't think it's particularly good at reducing their power either, but these are two orthogonal issues.

One of the huge advantages Freshmeat had was the Software Trove categorization feature. You could filter software to very specific requirements and find exactly the tools that fit your needs. During one of the needless web 2.0 rewrites which arose as part of the deck-chair rearranging near the end of the site, they got rid of that entirely and transitioned to a free-form tagging interface, which was comparatively useless. It was a real step backwards in data grooming and stripped the site of much of its value.

Unfortunately the freecode.club replacement service adopted the tagging mechanism instead of the Trove system.
The emissions of ML are not a special category. It's like caring about the emissions of addition vs subtraction, but ignoring every other math operation.

Training is infrequent, and everyone involved cares about making training more efficient and faster.

If you care about emissions, then tax, penalize, and regulate emissions. Everyone doing ML will then look at what's costly, and adjust how they use ML models to fit their budget.

Frankly, ML is the best and most efficient way to solve many important problems. For some problems, it's the only technique that works. Trying to limit ML as though it's a special source of emissions is one of the most counterproductive lines of thinking I've ever come across.
“China and Russia are very different in this way. Russia benefits from international instability. It’s an oil state. Oil prices go up. It seeks to undermine international institutions and cooperation.

China, as a general principle, does not do that. It benefits enormously from international stability, from international order, even from international institutions. What it wants is to become powerful within them, so powerful, that you cannot violate its sovereignty.
China’s number one principle for the last 20 years, and what it criticizes the U.S. for, is state sovereignty, the inviolability of state sovereignty. Which is why this whole business with Russia invading Ukraine has been so awkward for Beijing. So what they want is to grow powerful within the world as it exists.

You can see this in the fact that they want to become powerful in the U.N. They want to become powerful in the I.M.F. They want to become powerful in the World Bank. They don’t want to overturn these institutions.” — Fareed Zakaria.
Statistics needs calculus as a prerequisite. Heck, a non-introductory treatment of probabilities needs measure theory.
Or we can just use hybrid technology where needed and pure EV elsewhere?

Not much development except for developing generation capacity that doesn't exist (and electrolysis is wildly inefficient, by the way), a distribution chain that doesn't exist, familiarizing everyone from consumers to service staff with a fuel system unlike anything they've used before (CNG only ever took off in mass transit, and only to a limited degree), and oh by the way, it's centered around a gas that is so prone to leaking it leaks through metals and embrittles them in the process.

I can plug in an EV into the wall in my garage and charge it every night without a single change to my house. An L2 charger installation is an hour or two's work for an electrician.
Also, the market deciding what should succeed is not science.

If I’m following correctly, I think what’s missing from your comment is that a Kia Rio is $17k brand new and includes carplay, gets 36 mpg combined, 10yr 100k mile warranty, and doesn’t bother with complicated/expensive hybrid or battery.

To your point, people just don’t want that car because… cars play into one’s identity and style (at least marketing tells us it does). But that shouldn’t drive our geopolitical oil and gas strategy. Neither should the fundamental expectation that USA should be guaranteed the ability to drive 100 miles on $10 worth of gas in the average vehicle sold.
Personal anecdote: I've been using BTRFS on my laptop running Manjaro for the past year with no issues. Originally I had it running in an encrypted LUKS partition on a single Samsung NVMe, but for the past month I've been running two NVMe drives in RAID 0 with a LUKS volume on top of that and BTRFS inside of that. In both cases I've had no performance issues, no reliability issues or data loss (even when having to force shutdown the laptop due to unrelated freezes), and have been able to save and restore from snapshots with zero issues.

Recipes are a lot closer to configuration DSLs than code though.

You have standard functions like bake and boil, and they don't tell you to use clean utensils or how to turn the stove on, because an cooking is basically just a few dozen standard functions, end condition rules, etc.

If you think of them as programs, the composition they use isn't the same as functional languages, because the individual steps are unstructured and there's no generalized abstract pattern defining what a RecipeStep is or what composing two of them means.

You wouldn't say add(flour(add(salt,empty))), you would say "add flour, salt, water, and yeast".

"add" can take either an ingredient or a list, and it's pretty encapsulated, since it dynamically selects a way to measure the ingredient based on what it is, what utensils you have, etc.

It could trigger dozens of unrelated code paths based on state, and probably includes error recovery.

Functional might be nice for implementing the internals of that add() function, but in OOP the idea seems to be that it's a pretty minor detail, since add() is only written once and rarely changed, but used millions and millions of times all over the world for a decade.

Usually when people talk about "the beauty of functional" I get the impression that they're not really doing a whole lot of "One really smart function that knows exactly what to do" level abstraction.

It seems like they'd literally be composing together their own variations of what "add" is, as needed from the raw findMeasuringStrategy and checkPantry functions instead.
So as americans have been eating more and more Omega-6 & PUFAs over the last century or so, they've been getting healthier and healthier, right?

I'm not sure what objection is being made. We know that there are lots and lots of women who could be physicists but decided not to. You don't stop existing when you don't get labeled, but you do start surprising people who expect you to have been.

The former Soviet Union was excellent in production of impressive statistics, but the reality on the ground didn't quite match. And the Soviet way of thinking is very much alive in Putin's power circles. It is cheaper to produce impressive numbers than to actually take good care of equipment, and some people will swallow those numbers without thinking twice.

Westerners from well-run countries tend to trust government figures. This may work in Sweden or even in the USA, but in case of Russia, consider every published statistics as suspect.
