Getting paid a lot to sit behind a big desk on week days and occasionally write C++ in order to support my own venture eventually became untenable. I couldn’t bring myself to take the day job seriously: it’s useless corporate shit that does nothing but make the world a worse place, and it took time and attention away from making my own customers happy.

Edit: the worst of it was that because I stopped caring about office politics, I ruthlessly called out process problems, and accumulated ridiculous amounts of responsibility far beyond my job description. I hope everything went OK after I stopped showing up.
Calling someone by their chosen name isn't gender politics, it's just common courtesy.

I will acknowledge the above chart is delivery not peak power generation, but to an extent the two are related. If you don't have generation capacity, you can't increase consumption. I wish I had a chart of generation capacity over time, but I couldn't find one. Still though, it still seems to me the change from 1980 to 2000 probably indicates a pretty large change in power capacity, it's not like they managed to deliver a ton more power without making any changes to the grid and production capacity. You really think the only change in our usage in that time period is we left the lights on 60% longer?

I will acknowledge I did only eyeball the chart and saw it was about 2k going to about 4k, the values are 2,290/3801 so about 60% as you say and not doubling. My bad.

Still though, your argument of leaving the lights on longer and power capacity points to how EVs are still possible even with this kind of usage vs power argument. Charging my EV at home doesn't increase my home's peak power much at all. It's another 50A circuit on at my house, but it's not like it's running all the time. It's mostly running when most the other appliances in my house aren't running. So there's already plenty of capacity to serve my house 50A, my neighbor's house 50A, on and on, even with the current hardware because it was already built with the idea a lot of people are going to get home from work and start cooking dinner with an electric range and electric oven together use considerably more power than charging my electric car. For those who can charge at home, it really shouldn't change the math on power at all.

I do agree power demands would increase a good bit with DC fast chargers, those would be the biggest change in our grid infrastructure. Some of the arguments of having a good bit of local battery storage to smooth out those peak power loads sounds incredibly expensive to me. However I don't think those would necessarily make up the bulk of actual charging usage. The majority of Americans live in single family homes, implying they have some kind of garage where they can charge their car and would thus have the same power argument made above. Decent L2 chargers at offices can provide adequate charging to those commuters without charging capacity at home. Obviously this wouldn't have the same time of use shift as above, but L2 charging wouldn't impose nearly as much power demands as DCFC. While DCFC is somewhat important for mass adoption of EVs, I think you might be overestimating the actual usage of DCFC. The majority of Americans would rarely need them. I haven't used one once in the many thousands of miles I've put on my EV so far. A huge chunk of the power charging so far was 12A@120V, would you really argue every home having a load like that running overnight is going to melt all the transformers?

And FWIW I'm still a proponent for using diesel/petrol where it makes sense. Please don't take me as an EV fanatic thinking that Elon's self driving pure EV semi's are going to completely change the trucking industry anytime soon.

My wife does (I play games on Linux).

I have friends who own Macs who reluctantly dual boot to Windows just to play some games -- they would completely ditch Windows if they could just play every game on Mac.

I see there are Mac games on Steam.

All of this points to the situation being more nuanced than "no one plays games on Mac".

The article says the spent fuel assemblies need active cooling otherwise the water will evaporate. Really?! Even though it’s years since the reactors shut down?
For the spent nuclear fuel this isn't really a problem as this is over 20 year old spent fuel. Yes over weeks or months the water might evaporate but spent fuel that old is stored outside with letting it cool passively to the air all over the world (usually after around 5 years or so)

Here is a post about this by IEAA from March 3rd.

https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/pressreleases/update-8-iaea-...

"Due to time elapsed since the 1986 Chornobyl accident, the heat load of the spent fuel storage pool and the volume of cooling water contained in the pool is sufficient to maintain effective heat removal without the need for electrical supply."
I checked the first two and it’s 7,000 read / 5,000 write. Pretty sure Apple said read AND write, which would be a lot faster than those. I might go back and rewatch the keynote, but I still thinking we are arguing pointlessly as Apple has always overcharged for SSD and RAM upgrades vs the price you’d pay elsewhere. Thanks for the DV though even when what I stated was right! ;)
I do t know if they’re the only distro looking for that balance Zorin OS also seems to be doing it.

> I found some discussion here[2] where it's suggested it has some fatal flaws as well

The described flaws are not really flaws. The author of the blog post has a strange perspective on what a PRNG should be.

> obvious patterns in what should have been random noise.

> So, for simulations where predictability etc is not a concern, what's the state of the art?

Can't you just try different ones? E.g., try xoshiro256++, xoshiro256** and some CSPRNG, and compare for visible patterns.

The reality is that AFAIK the state of the art doesn't exist, there seems to be little scientific interest for non-secure fast pseudo-random generators with good statistical properties.

Usually one checks for bad statistical properties with ad-hoc tools like Practrand, basically test suites. But Practrand is buggy and unmaintained and there's no better option AFAIK.

In summary, test the PRNG on a per-application basis yourself, or just use xoshiro256++. Just my impressions.

You're making a fetishizing an era of capitalism. There are chapters in Marx's Capital where he thoroughly studies early capitalism in England by official govt reports and it was absolutely horrible. The govt was forced to implement social welfare programs in order to preserve some social wellness, like obligatory school for the youth because of overwork, which were immediately curbed by the capitalists. This is the development of all of society.

With capitalists controlling a countries production, society does not get better with the interests of the majority in mind. It fits capitals interests. That was true in 1870s as well as 2022.

It's not "a potential issue in the UK" it's an issue across the EU - they were pointing out it's also an issue in the UK even though we've left the EU.

GDPR is not a new or surprising thing, and the absolute basics should be known by any developers working with private data. It's frankly shocking if they didn't know while starting a company in the UK, and I don't know if it's worse if they didn't know or didn't care.

This is a business that it will be vital that they are following regulations, and if they're skipping this, why should I trust they're following the rest?

The T part is contentious.

Blue side wants trans women to be treated identically to women, based on their personal conception of identity, not necessarily tied to any external or societal factor. So if they say they're a trans woman, you call them "she" regardless of how masculine they make look or dress. Being trans is a valid and inherent part of a person. We need to educate children that gender is a social construct.

Red side disagrees with the notion that personal identity overrides societal norms. It's an imposition, or a farce, to call a man in a dress a woman. Why should we change thousands of years of grammar because some people are nutcases? Being trans is a mental illness that instead of being treated is being celebrated and normalized, in turn harming society. It's a shame you're ill, but keep that out of our schools and get help.

You can see how these viewpoints are not going to get along
> If you look at where Cloudflare and some of the big clouds are going with their private networks, private backplanes, and "secure your traffic by putting it all over our network" zero trust plans it seems to be going that way.

All the networks of the Internet are already private, just like the networks of AOL and CompuServe were private back in the day: your ISP's network is private, YouTube's network is private, AWS' network is private. It's just that those private networks agree to talk to each other.

Otherwise your ISP would have to re-create YouTube and Reddit/forums and eBay/marketplace and…, and YouTube would have to buildout (inter)national network to connect their video services to people's homes.

Just like AOL and CompuServe had to build out information services and a connectivity infrastructure back in the day.

Now each of the previously walled gardens (messaging, forums, marketplaces, connectivity, etc) is done by its own entity, each taking a slice of the monetary pie for the service(s) they provide.

The Internet is a 'network of networks', but it is also an agreement: an agreement for everyone to talk to everyone else.

I am not native english, but if I understand correctly : that woman (board member Debra Rose) made false accusations of aggression and child abuse against this dad because he was insisting for getting public data that she didn't want to give, and at the end there is no consequence on her ??

I understand that he had legal "victory" when the judge ordered the state to hand over the data and pay $35000, but I didn't see anything about that woman being punished for false accusations (I though that the author of false accusations would face consequences of the same magnitude as what would have been endured by the other party if the false accusations succeeded, in this case: he could have faced jail or have his children removed)

I enjoy my 1:1s with my manager. It's pretty relaxed, open ended conversation. Recently she asked us all to just do a summary in OneNote of what we did for the week, so that kind of gives us things to talk about. Typically we talk about personal life, family things for about half of the meeting and work the other half.
Paraphrasing an expert in the field (https://twitter.com/energybants):

"The spent fuel rods are over 20 years old and have very little heat to dissipate. In most plants, spent fuel that is more than 5 years old sits in dry storage cooled easily by air. Also RBMK (Chernobyl reactor type) has lower burnup than other reactor types, thus lower decay heat."

"There are indeed 20k old fuel rods in a pool. Their heat is low enough that experts I've talked to expect weeks or even months to heat the water enough to dry out the pool. Even then, natural air circulation should be sufficient."
I think that's kind of semantic. The agreement is what I'm talking about. It makes the Internet open. I can just send you a packet. That's what's in danger here.

Ad tech is absolutely inherently bad, and it is not a fixable problem.

Just off the top of my head, there are multiple unsolvable problems with the market. There are principal-agent problems between ad brokers and both buyers and sellers [0],[1] and attribution is nearly impossible [2] - which leads to increasingly invasive surveillance tools being deployed. Then there's the issue of asymmetric information: most consumers have no idea what information is being collected about them, or even by whom. Just outside the market, there is also the "clicks and attention == revenue" externality that is extremely costly to society. Every single ad tech company is either exploiting these problems in the market to generate outsized profits, or selling increasingly invasive surveillance technology to try to "solve" them.

The problem isn't any individual bad actor's behavior - it's the entire structure of the digital advertising market. There is no solution, because even assuming everyone is acting in good faith and in their best interests you'll see the exact same devolution to "What if we just find ways watch everything everyone does and track everything they do on and off their computers all the time? That's both profitable and clears up a lot of the market failures. Let's do that!"

I agree with you on your description of community inceldom but I don't agree with your "fight propaganda with propaganda". If something is true, then it should be shown as such. Adults need to be able to handle the truth even if it means acknowledging the animal that we are. Then, we make a conscious choice to restrain the animal. We respect its ability to wreak havoc but understand the need to use our consviousness to make decisions that help us live in communion with our fellow humans.

If we ignore the animal and propagandise it away, we will be left wondering why certain groups behave the way they do and dehumanize them in the process. As much as it may disgust you, incels and every other group that horrifies with its ideas is still an expression of at least a fraction of our humanity.

The strongest signal is just identifying whether they've built something before. You can find that in various different ways:

* Do they have original work publicly available? (Github, Gitlab, ...)

* In the interview can they talk in more than surface detail about past work/projects.

* Do they have a blog where they talk about what they've learned over their career?

Hiring is always going to be a risk but looking for ways to see or get them talking about what they've built and what they learned while doing it is the most effective signal I've found as to whether they can do the job.
