> Sometimes timezones or the like change.

Why would you ever want anything to do with timezones in an API? Even for appointments, it's still a timestamp. Timezone should be applied the very last moment, as part of date formatting for output on the client.

If you allow your users to create appointments this much in advance and then they miss them, it's a UX problem, not an API design problem.
At the very least we should stop shutting down current nuclear power plants.

Any newly built renewable generation should be used to retire fossil fuel plants first, and once those are gone then we can consider retiring (current) nuclear.
Nothing will solve the climate crisis in the time frame it takes to build a nuclear reactor. If you start building now, you get part of the solution in the future.
Nuclear plant can provide heating for free. It has to be located in Helsinki, though.
The missile to knock them out would cost more than to buy the island outright.
With induction charging you're trying to charge a battery and unfortunately producing heat in the process which is unwanted and entirely a waste.

With induction stoves pretty much all the electricity is converted to heat in the bottom of the pan which is exactly what you want. A minor portion is lost elsewhere in the circuitry but not much in the grand scheme of things.

Efficiency refers to the ration between what you put in towards a goal and how much of it actually turned into that goal. Things that produce rhat with electricity tend to be 100% efficient because any waste usually happens to be heat.

An induction stove certain shouldn't have lower efficiency compared to a regular electric stove so maybe check if it's not a local issue.
Gonna be honest, .NET seems to have a weird cult following on here and Reddit but I find the naming to be absolutely atrocious and I hate developing with it. Everything is .Net including .net classic but not everything is compatible making documentation a huge pain to find. It’s also ridiculously over complicated and enterprisy with a lot of heavy weight boilerplate that reminds me of Java. It also copies a lot of the mistakes of the spring framework where you’ll have side effects or code paths that occur that aren’t really able to be found with a debugger. The language itself is fine but the framework around it is just repeating all the same mistakes of everything else

One of the reasons I love go is that everything seems to be explicit. Notice something occurring? Well chances are you can set a breakpoint and trace what’s happening
Although for statistics (and probability as well), Calculus has a way of sneaking in there.
See for yourself: https://model.energy/

The area around Finland and Eastern Europe is one of the worst in the world for renewables, though.
I don't think SMM requires UEFI, either, actually... I believe there have been BIOSes that initialized SMM also.
You do know how DMA works right?
Without tech and its “ecosystem,” if you will, the system of Uber could not have existed at all.

- Advanced tech allowed Uber to reach its pervasive global scale

- Insane venture capital valuation allowed Uber to artificially deflate the price of rides to gain market share, with the explicit understanding that they would then leverage their market power to jack up prices

- Near-zero marginal cost of administration allows Uber to recruit far more employees than a traditional cab company ever could, commoditizing the supply of workers and enabling abuses (someone will always take their place)

- High profit margins enable faster spread, and allow the company to spend much more on lobbying and anti-union efforts

- Business-side workers are complicit because they aren’t working at a taxi company with actual human workers on the other end, they’re building a killer app!

- Managers and higher-ups are similarly abstracted away from their decisions

Are all of these properties inherent to the notion of tech itself? No. Could Uber have been built differently, given different managerial decisions? Yes. But tech allows behaviors that were not previously possible.
Certainly this is cheaper than paying people to buy your electricity (as sometimes happens in California because of solar plants).
I have used both from day one. I prefer Go. 900% less faffery with it.
I stumbled across that magic combo too!

Electronic temperature control using induction plus the quick-cool benefit of a stovetop pressure cooker. I love that a hot cooker at full pressure can be moved to the sink and cooled with tap water so it can be safely opened in less than a minute. Can't really do that with an instapot, gotta wait.
If it gets to that stage, the repatriations should be centered on Russian nuclear disarmament.
Putin’s pre-war moves against U.S. tech giant staff
I've been seeing a pretty big wave of Nazi apologists on the left lately. It feels like now that everyone knows we've been arming Nazis in Ukraine they moved from denying it to saying Nazis weren't all that bad.

Imo, Putin is more analogous to GW Bush with the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. Can you make a claim for how Putin is worse than even Bush in this regard?
So this article claims that .Net is portable, what about GUIs?

I doubt very much that this is the case..
This is perfectly encapsulated by my favorite joke.

A physicist is showing their friend the computer scientist a thermos.

"This thing is so cool: you can pour something hot into it, and no matter how cold it is outside it stays hot". The friend is duly impressed.

"But that isn't all: you can pour something cold into it, and no matter how hot it is outside it stays cold"!

Now the computer scientist is puzzled. "But how does it know?"

Code like this is the bane of my existance.
Binding to C/C++ libraries or other system libraries is not something that's well documented, officially. On Windows there's a lot of 3rd party effort that is easily searchable. But for a long time the interop layer was not (and still may not be?) working on Linux.

The first iterations of .NET were just for webapps. You could only work with and call .NET code, the only functions provided were basic IO and network.
That's good, but in Fortran, Matlab, R, Julia, and Python/NumPy you can slice multidimensional arrays and have strides other than 1, for example

x(1:9:2,1:5)

which returns a matrix with the first 5 elements of every other row. Will C++ get something like this?
> Because your job is to educate them.

"Creatively misinterpreting" instructions means to me that the students are intentionally doing this (to get away with doing less work, or whatever). I think marking them down and moving on is educating them: it very quickly tells them that sticking to the letter of the law but ignoring the spirit is not ok, and will not be tolerated. It's pretty good preparation for being in the real world, too.

Regardless, giving ridiculously over-specified assignments will not be good preparation for the real world, where many (most?) things are under-specified and ambiguous. Adults need to learn how to read between the lines, interpret things properly, be comfortable asking follow-up questions for things that are not clear, and just figure things out when such clarity doesn't exist.

> They also complain about the task which in effect waste your time or give you trouble.

That sounds annoying, but to me it feels like over-specifying tasks in this way is the opposite of education. And it feels like the time dealing with the misinterpreters wouldn't be wasted; it would be spent actively teaching students that the world is not black and white, there's often no instruction manual, and that getting out of doing work through "creative misinterpretation" will not get you far.
> To me it seems like you just don't want to spend a few weeks prepping and you're coming up with reasons to justify it.

I've obviously spent weeks prepping and passed leetcode interviews: otherwise I couldn't comment on the drawbacks I've seen working for such companies.
And at some point, perhaps you'll still get reasonable health care without it being tied to some employment (whether or not you were/are highly paid). Much harder to rely on that in the US.

>Don't think so.

I don't think, I know.

>You made it sound like the base of the whole BLM movement was a fake incident

It... Was... Michael Brown's murder by a racist cop was a fake incident. George Zimmerman the White supremacist gunning down a Black teen who was just walking home was a fake incident.

>while racism is still very real, which is the real base.

While Satanism is still very real, which is the real base.

>While on the other hand D&D had nothing to do with satanism or occultism.

While on the other hand Michael Brown's death had nothing to do with racist cops or White supremacy.
If I remember right, Apostol uses a non-standard sequence (integration first, then differentiation). That probably only matters if you might be using a different book for another part of the sequence, though.
Walgreens replaced some fridge doors with screens, and some shoppers hate it
That's... so absurd but so genius.
OK. I'll accept that.

My electrical bill is (a fair bit) higher than with the old electric stove, though. That's interesting.

I still love it, and have no intentions of giving it up.
My point is that ETFs by definition are a group of stocks, often grouped by sector unless talking about a whole-market ETF.

For example you could have invested in SPY, or QQQ, or IWM at the bottom of the bear market in 2008, and walked away with vastly different returns on Dec 31, 2021. Those are all indexes. Even from 2020 onwards, if you had picked XLE you would have had different returns till date than if you invested in XLU or some green energy ETF, or even 2020's darling, ARKK.

Just saying invest in an ETF doesn't mean anything. They are baskets of stocks, and as the macro environment changes, some ETFs will perform better than others. In effect, even an all-encompassing ETF (VTI?) will only perform well in a bull market. Just because we've been in a decades-long bull market doesn't mean stocks will keep going up forever.

Is the answer stock picking? Absolutely not. However, ETFs are not the "practically risk-free return" they are sometimes billed as.
Ahh, we might be talking past each other: I wouldn't call a single medium-easy leetcode question a "leetcode interview" - I meant companies where that's the primary/only focus, not one part of a robust evaluation.
It seems that it is indeed real, but I suspect it will take a while before it's common knowledge and actually has teeth (but I'm a bit cynical).
I think everyone capable of pulling this off works at Apple.
Sometimes that's all it takes, man. Although I suspect there was a little more to it. Regardless, we're not celebrating the effort — many things take harder work to accomplish — we're celebrating the effect, which has been world-changing.
Yeltsin: "Hold my vodka:
As a fellow German I didn't go induction on purpose, because I prefer the ceramic hob cooking experience. "Pans cannot be used" wasn't part of the decision. Having "control nobs" on the front rather than a touch area on the cooking surface was a hard requirement for me though and seems to be getting rarer every year.

I'm actually amazed how much people love induction here, but I guess that's also because it's mostly compared to gas?
I usually can tell which students will do well by how they answer ambiguous questions: they'll answer both ways, both the easy way, and the hard way.
>It’s also ridiculously over complicated and enterprisy

What does it mean? dependency injection?
Very remarkable that there's a surviving ~3,770 year old written document mentioning a ~3,770 year old household object, and someone was able to match the two:

- "In the Amarna Letters, a diplomatic correspondence written on clay tablets and discovered in a royal archive in the south of Egypt, there is a list of gifts sent by King Tushratta of Mitanni in Anatolia, to Pharaoh Amenhotep III, Tutankhamun’s grandfather of Ancient Egypt when he married Princess Tadukhipa, the daughter of Tushratta. Among the gifts mentioned in the list is a dagger with an iron-made blade. The research of Arai’s team states that this is very likely to be the same dagger for two main reasons..."
I think that is the whole point - let us assume they did not know about the Widmanstätten patterns and s*iet we know now. What if they just enjoyed the beauty of that power from within;)

Without "knowing". So the power is "accidental" - accidentally in Tut's hands.
It's not only the first one. It's at least the first ones plural. The same one, being built in France in Flamanville by the same company was scheduled to be finished in 2012, and is currently planned for 2023 (11 years delay), and with crazy over cost like the Finish one.

I don't think there is any reason to think it will be different for future ones if any. We'll see what happens for the British one (Hinkley Point C), but they already know there will be large delays and cost overrun.
Nice! Gentoo just dropped this update today. Just in time for 5.17 as it would seem.
Have you considered that maybe, out of these 30$, only 5 might go to the driver? Sometimes even the tip is pocketed by the company — forgot if it was doordash which was found to do that a little while ago, and some people on HN were defending them.
Do you wrangle the wok on the surface (or a frying pan) for a sauté[0]? What I'm really trying to find out is: how durable is the work surface? Does it deal well with pans being slid over it, and on/off it?

I mean, it seems a bit like using the Bhopal disaster as an argument to not build any more chemical plants, or the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster as an argument to stop using passenger ships. Chernobyl was a flawed design incompetently operated.

> And what is your solution for storing nuclear waste safely for hundreds of thousands of years?

While it's a problem, it's actually a fairly tractable one, because the volume of high level waste is small and it doesn't leave the plant as part of normal operations. For coal power, for contrast, we store much of the waste in peoples' lungs.
JITs precisely can provide runtime performance optimizations.

What makes C#/Rust special? If you can't name anything in rust that would actually effect the dataflow analysis then you may need to reconsider.
The author makes a few good points (mostly about performance), but the 'myths' about open source friendly, enterprise development, and cost are disingenuous at best, and just plain wrong at worst.

I work in a large corporate environment, and .NET is expensive. Nobody just 'uses the Community Edition', because there are pre-established licensing arrangements and costs. I've seen the costs.

.NET, whether it's good or not, is slowly going the way of the dodo. What keeps it around is the corporate lock-in they've established for the Microsoft stack, and that's a hard thing to crack.
I disagree with the proposition that it is impossible to pick good companies. Anyone with half a brain could have invested in AMD as Zen 1 and Zen 2 came out, and the writing was on the wall for Intel. Same goes for other industries, if you are willing to do your homework and manage your risk.
Smart-TV blocklist for Pi-Hole
This house I just bought (in the US) has a really odd kitchen that includes a gas cooktop combined with an electric double oven. It's wired directly to the breaker box in the basement with a 35-amp fuse.
Using induction and setting the temp to 190F, I've reduced entire bottles of wine to a thick syrup with almost zero attention, never had a scorch.

I would never risk that on any other stove type.
Optimizing compilers and JITs are difficult to compare directly: JITs have optimization pressures (e.g., selecting instructions/register slots as rapidly as possible) that AOT compilers don't (and vice versa), and (similarly) tend to have simpler IRs.

In general, even the best JIT is going to underperform an AOT optimizing compiler for those reasons. Microbenchmarks (and compiler quality) will always vary, but the macro picture is difficult to change.
> The work for the first question easily totals > 20 hours of pen and paper time.

I guess grad students generally take less coursework than undergrads, but how could a professor expect students to have 20+ hours on hand to solve a single question, given other demands on a student's time?
Robert Caro: Understanding Power
FWIW I don't see it being down from here (Europe). And I see "question asked 1 min ago" so it's probably working at least partially.
I would highly object to "better options came about". I am not debating maybe a better fit to your specific problems came along, but in general case of the sweet spot for couchdb there are no obvious better alternatives. The sweet spot being "a schemalesss json database with a rest api and first level support for master-master and online/offline replication that values your data safety and reliability first and everything else second."
> Everyone having nuclear weapons would make world much more peaceful and safer place.

That's the happy path.

The failure path with an unhinged dictator causing global destruction also gets much more likely.
I think Spivak is way less common as an initial calc text than Stewart. Spivak's approach is much more rigorous than most calc textbooks, and is in many ways almost an introduction to real analysis. Note, for example, that Spivak prefers to view the definite integral as the proper form of an integral rather than the typical approach taken by many introductory texts where the integral is viewed as the anti-derivative and then for ∫_a^b f(x)d(x) they just take F(b)-F(a) and call it a day. I would imagine that most introductory calculus students do close to zero proofs with most of the time spent on memorizing the various rubrics for finding derivatives and anti-derivatives. Spivak covers those, but the exercises are at least 50% proofs rather than being 90–100% calculation.
The plane was really high. And then it had a bad come down…
As another commenter said, it was electric but "vitro ceramic", so terrible performance and pretty dangerous. This actually gave gas a "better rap".

Now I honestly only use gas at the moment because I moved in recently enough that I haven't bother to change - but it's getting higher on n my list every day...
The solution to this is to not ask, and instead aggregate this data from open sources like the local tax assessor, or closed paid sources like the MLS or similar real estate transaction corpus.

This accomplishes whatever the objective is without putting census takers in danger due to unruly/belligerent interviewees.
This could be your pans, the multiple layers of cladding on the bottom can produce a very high-pitch noise.
"But what if it explodes" is actually a valid question for fast reactors, since they can potentially go prompt fast supercritical in a serious accident. Edward Teller was famously suspicious (in 1967) of fast reactors for this reason.
*wouldn't the most accurate advice be to ignore all the marketing*

Your point is right, but I'm afraid that the underlying advice is not applicable. First of all few people are truly in control of their attention span, and we are all exposed to marketing wether we like it or not. You might as well ask a dog to ignore the smell of food.

*If people are inundated with marketing telling them to be active investors, telling them to be a more informed active investor is not the solution*

The problem with some popular financial apps is that the marketing is 'built in as a feature'. My banking app allows me to create a 'saving account', which sounds like a good think to do right? However if I click, I will have ''investing options'' to choose, which are all financial product sold by the institution. These types of 'financial dark patterns' are all over the industry. In Canada, I consider those to be built in by law, and are not likely to change any time soon.

Managing investor bias is not something you can achieve with a mathematical argument; it requires patience, trial and error. People who are bombarded with marketing about stock trading will avoid ETF and trade stocks. I think that a lot of them would benefit a learning environment which was not created by financial institution to sell them products in the first place. You could then introduce a feature, where the apps suggest some ETF information if the portfolio is hyper concentrated in a few stock, etc.
On an average working day, the workers are to post on news articles 50 times. Each blogger is to maintain six Facebook accounts publishing at least three posts a day and discussing the news in groups at least twice a day. By the end of the first month, they are expected to have won 500 subscribers and get at least five posts on each item a day. On Twitter, the bloggers are expected to manage 10 accounts with up to 2,000 followers and tweet 50 times a day

I found these guidelines to be rather interesting.
I don't see them as having contempt for democracy. Lenin's slogan, after all, was 'all power to the soviets'. That was the basic unit of democracy in Russia at the time, far more relevant than stuff like the constituent assembly.

I also think that it's normal to have a democratic deficit during an extremely chaotic situation, and a lot of the people 'standing in the way of their ideals' were also trying to kill the Bolsheviks. German armies were literally rolling through Russia at the time. All of these guys were raised on the history of the french revolution and the paris commune, both events in which the far left had an almost complete mortality rate.

It's also the case that leftists simply have a different definition of democracy to liberals. They would call what we call democracy an oligarchy, an 'bourgeois democracy', etc. So, obviously, they wouldn't have any patience for its trappings. I don't think you can simply call them anti-democratic on the simple grounds that their idea of democracy differs from yours.

It’s a question of temperature difference. Cooling a house from 40° to 20° uses approximately the same energy as heating it from 0° to 20°. But it gets much colder than 0° C in Finland, while it is very rare to have temperatures above 45° C anywhere in the world.
In my experience, when the tax man comes calling, it’s always just after a big move, big purchase, far away death in the family, or some other life event where you have less savings than normal.
