You can do two things, if so inclined: I’m in the midst of having a heat pump system installed in line with my existing gas furnace, the so-called “dual fuel” approach. The heat pump should suffice for most cool days, with the furnace available for when it’s truly cold. (Colorado front range; we don’t get the same winters that we used to.)

I’ve worked at a VC-backed social media app and currently work for a privately owned porn company.

SV has the dumbest double standards about sex and nudity. Just colossally dumb.

There’s a few forces at work that the article doesn’t dig into -

1/ VCs get their money from LPs. LPs are orgs like university trusts and pension funds. Those LPs demand “morality clauses” that limit what VCs can invest in. And VCs give it to them.

2/ Google starting 2018-ish began to cave to advertiser pressure about nudity. They passed that pressure down to their different business. Now YouTube, AdWords, Adsense, etc all must ensure ad content is never shown next to nudity. Those business teams rolled out this missive in the most bungled way possible. False positives be damned, the ad dollars must flow.

This leads to startups being squeezed on both sides - investors can’t be seen supporting sex and ad platforms salt the earth anywhere an adult word might be uttered. So as a social media platform, you pretend it doesn’t exist (Reddit, Instagram), you quarantine it (Twitch), or you mass-deplatform and cross your fingers (YouTube, Snapchat).

I don’t know what the answer is for those products, but I feel like we could do better.

I'm not actually a dog expert (sorry), but I believe individual dogs vary enormously. My dog has a list that works very well for him but wouldn't work for other people. Also, it depends on the city - I'm in Australia, where the cities contain a huge amount of forest. But to answer your question directly, my dog spends three or four hours a day exploring our local creek.
Interesting. Have you tried TortoiseGitDiff? I'd be curious what you think of that in comparison if so.

Update: I just downloaded Meld. It literally takes ~half a second to change the cursor location when I click in a highlighted region, which is already making me dislike it. Is this normal?

Can you double tap a letter quicker than hitting 2 letters on 2 different keys? This is hair splitting, but I don't think 'cc' is necessarily better or faster than 'cp'. Maybe better than 'cpp' but that's an additional letter, AND having to "double tap" one.

For some tapers, they're up and down on stilts all day, every day. I've never done it myself, but I've seen the tapers at work on them, and they walk quite naturally and have no need for a walking stick (couldn't use one anyway when you're hands are full with a bazooka, etc.).

I'll be replacing an aging (1950's) boiler this summer. I would love to get an air-source hydronic heat pump (air-to-water heat pump).

Even with a $10K rebate, it's far more cost-effective to go with a modern gas boiler (which has its own $2750 rebate) and I have no worries of ~72 hours/year of being unable to maintain temperature. (That's not that big of a worry for me and wouldn't be a blocker, but it's a small inconvenience.)

Basically, the heating contractors know the rebate amounts and, unsurprisingly, bake that into their bids. I can't really blame them for following the incentives, but it means that the energy-savings incentives don't have the intended effect.

Can anyone explain the recent fascination with heat pumps? I first noticed it with Technology Connections. Here in sunny Western Australia heat pumps have been the norm for a long time. Our climate has historically been dry enough for evaporative air conditioning to work as well, but for some reason (/s) the climate is changing such that this is increasingly not the case. That said IIRC these units have been common in my life for decades, so I assumed that the rest of the world had cottoned on.
Could a big part of it be simply that people prefer to trade with others who speak their language?
One way to make it less likely to get caught up in a mass-location harvesting case is to disable GPS on phone, especially on a non-de-googled Android phone. I'd also recommend paying with cash whenever that is an option. Another biggie is not to vote for politicians supporting public surveillance laws, and to cast an abstention vote when no anti-public-surveillance candidate is available. The abstention sends a signal to other prospective candidates that the election-winning politicians are not un-defeatable by a candidate better aligned with the voters who abstained.
It's tough to pick winners for tech in which to become proficient to expert in this game. A reasonable first order approximation is anything championed by Ubuntu should be dropped like a hot brick.

Mir, Bzr, the phone, the ubuntu desktop the list goes on. At one time they had a policy of not paying for any new development ever, ie contributing nothing back but using and polishing, branding & packaging contributions from their competitors. They got popular by paying Matt Garrett(?) and resourcing him to make suspend work on a bunch of laptops, I recall seeing a photo of a pile of abut 50 by his desk, so Ubuntu worked better than RedHat or debian or whatever else on your laptop, eventually that work found its way back to mainline, it was their edge that drove adoption before it did.

Has any other development they've funded worked out? It must have, right? Has any of it worked well enough to be adopted by their competitors? Eg contribution to the commons, like for example paying for Gnome and GTK+ developer time like RedHat do?

I am biased on this and I want to state that bias clearly so you can adjust for it if you want to. Shuttleworth turned up at LCA one year (Linux conference in Aus/NZ run on the smell of an oily rag by volunteers - a genuine comunity effort) in a private jet and was notably absent from the dinner which usually involves some kind of charity auction and raises a few thousand dollars, no more than that, from the community, most of whom aren't particularly wealthy, for something worthy. Had money for private jet leasing, fuel, pilot wages, landing fees etc etc but $0 for the community charity drive.

Bug #1 in the ubuntu bug tracker was something like "Windows is more popular than linux." They've closed it because Android, which had nothing whatever to do with their efforts.
Regarding the last point:
Together with the 20 year deprecation cycle, an expansion* of heat pumps makes sense now in anticipation of higher buildup of renewables as well as creating additional electricity demand, making construction of new renewable power sources more attractive.

* I only know the numbers for germany, where even in new buildings there are a lot of fossil furnaces getting installed still. Replacements in older houses also usually don't switch to a heat pumps, pushing both numbers >80% would already be a major achievement in my book.

The above is for AMD. And I saw people with Nvidia reporting it performing better on Linux as well.
I live in the UK. Last September, I bought an air-to-air source heat pump for environmental reasons, to reduce our use of gas for central heating. I did the calculations and knew when we bought it it wouldn't save much money (you get a 3-4x efficiency improvement, but electricity is 3-4x the cost of gas, at least at September's prices).

Our main family room/kitchen is the largest room downstairs, and the only one we heat during the day in the winter. So rather than figure out the complexity and additional cost of an air-to-water, it seemed logical to dip our toes in with something simple.

It's been great. Our gas usage is less than half what it was the previous year. The room heats up faster in the mornings, so there's no need to have the heat on before we come downstairs. On cold days this winter, we were heating the whole downstairs for about 15kwh/day, meaning we're getting roughly a 3-4x COP real-world (closer to 4 i think, but have no way of precisely measuring). If I'm feeling chilly, I can sit directly under it in a nice warm breeze.

It cost £2,275 installed. The model was the Daikin-FTXP60M.

(Recognise that this does not necessarily undermine the argument in the video. But I do find it odd air-to-air source heat pumps are not considered more often in the UK)

Also interesting to compare this relatively modest investment with an electric car. Very roughly, the carbon savings we're seeing are comparable to the savings from replacing 10k miles per annum in an ICE with an electric (I think, rough back-of-the envelope calculation!).
There's pandoc-mode in Emacs and that lets you fully integrate pandoc with org if needed. But you can also convert org files to LaTeX and PDF directly. That's how I take all my notes.
I actually don't think I was aware of this! Most of the media coverage I've seen on her is about her coming across as fairly unconventional for a Democrat in the debate performances, but I think the field was so large then and then narrowed down quickly enough that she didn't get much extended attention. I imagine if she makes it further into a national campaign, it might end up coming up though.
Funny thing about heat pumps is, that they often operate with over 100% efficiency. Took some time for me to wrap my head around it.
I agree with this. It’s easy to point to some other group to blame on this but I don’t meet many people in any group in the US who would be okay with children seeing nudity on TV. Contrast my experience with Scandinavia, where nude saunas are the norm and maybe it seems like the US just hasn’t yet progressed to sexual normalization.

Is that even a bad thing though? Who’s to say the Scandinavians aren’t messing their kids up with all the nudity? Who’s to say the Americans aren’t messing their kids up with their Puritanical approach to sex? I feel that nobody knows the answer right now and we’re most comfortable not changing anything until we do.
And there is "the law" and "the other law", often times the two being incompatible, so you're kinda left in the middle trying to kinda please both sides.

Like when governments agencies ask to both "disable all tracking of what their employees do on the platform", to ensure private data and GDPR like stuff are ok. They also ask to specifically "enable full logging of all access to their data" for security reasons.

So: "sed -i 's/tracker/logger/g' codebase" and everyone is perfectly happy.

> I can think of no good strategic reason to take over Chernobyl.

If you're going to try to annex Ukraine, you're going to take Chernobyl. Of course there are very good strategic reasons (including the location issue, as mentioned by another comment) to take over all nuclear facilities and electricity production in the nation you're trying to annex.

What kind of annexation is it if you don't take the electricity production facilities and all the nuclear plants? If you do, what, leave all the nuclear power plants under the control of the Ukrainian Government and its proxies? It would be wildly irrational in terms of strategy.

One of the first things you'd want to accomplish, if you can, is to seize utilities and be able to control their function (for all manner of reasons), as well as controlling anything nuclear related.
Who are we to say that this is a terrible process? If it's working for canonical then more power to them.
> there is absolutely zero chance anyone on the other end is going to take the time to actually read and evaluate each of them

This is understandable to think, but is simply wrong -- I know because I'm a software engineer at Canonical who helps review these written submissions. They're sometimes read and reviewed by our CEO, though often he delegates that out to a pool of us reviewers. I always read mine thoroughly, whether they're 3 pages or 30. I don't have exact stats, but from where I sit maybe 80% of them are quality submissions.

I'm not defending our interview process here: I agree with many that it's too long and could use improvement. But it's definitely unique and thorough.
Both of those things can be true by building a large bridge.

Yes. They often have sales, and I picked up Pro for about the price of Standard a few years back. If you see a sale, get Pro. If you are not worried about the pro feature set, get standard.

The other thing is that the trial used to be very fair. I don’t know if they changed it, but it used to give you “days of usage” not contiguous days. I once used it for about 5 months because the 30 day trial only counted the days I actually used it and I saved using it for when I really needed it, and used WinMerge when I could instead.

From what I've heard, heat pumps with ground loop heat exchangers maintain a 450-500% efficiency rating all year round, regardless of how cold or hot it is outside. Here's a variable speed one that claims COP of ~5: https://www.waterfurnace.com/residential/products/geothermal...

I applied for a Canonical job and was turned off by this. I was smart in high school but I wasn't an overachiever. In fact, I was into computers above and beyond what my high school was able to offer, and I was bored of the place as a result! But more importantly, that happened a lifetime ago; I'm an adult with 20 years of professional experience, focus on my high school is completely inappropriate and I don't think it's a stretch to call it ageist.

But the hiring manager told me that they actually hire people from the community -- in other words, folks who have done a free internship. So in truth, I'm not sure why I even jumped through their hoops (including the personality and intelligence tests). What a lark.

That describes most Christians, honestly. Trump identifies as a "non-denominational" Christian (as opposed to atheist or any other religion), employs Christian symbols in his politics (likely not in good faith, but again that isn't unusual) and has strong support within the Evangelical Christian community, who clearly find something within him that resonates with their faith.
It's not about Windows long term support, it's about Wine long term support (which is much better than Windows own).

So I agree with your point that long term Wine offers better support than Linux native ABIs.

I doubt Windows ABIs are better than Linux native ones on their own long term wise (i.e. without Wine).

That said, it would be cool for someone to develop Wine-like wrapping of historic Linux ABIs into modern ones so you could have the same preservation effect.

There was for example such project for older SDL over new one.

Lots of FOSS developers support themselves with lucrative jobs or contracts they received on the basis of their reputation within the FOSS community (conference circuit, online forums, professional network, etc.) and otherwise mainly develop for the clout. Social consequences can be very effective in this way. It isn't quite like being blackballed but you really can't piss too many people off before those contracts start disappearing. Network effects work in reverse too.
We might not be doing great on some fronts, but we can do engineering. It's not always at forefront, but we can create high quality or groundbreaking stuff too.
