Or on batteries, or on liquid salt thermal storage upgrades for old fossil plants, or on hydro storage, or on salt cavern pneumatic pressure, or on hydrogen, or on regenerative iron dust cycles, or...

The idea that it's nuclear or fossil for baseload is a false dichotomy, that ingores the dozens of intermediary storage solutions.

Solar is currently the cheapest source of energy with a margin. Add storage to an overproduction system, and it's still cheaper.

The german failure to finish the "energiewende" is a political one, driven by corrupt conservative politicians and the privatized energy sector, to press as much return out of their old investments as possible.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out:

Before GDPR: No cookie banners
After GDPR: Cookie banners

Who's to blame is irrelevant. Users don't care and the effects are real whether it is put on directly by companies as an indirect result of GDPR.
Well, the "Wagner" by itself is a reference to Richard Wagner which is commonly associated with Nazy Germany [1].

Begs the question, why didn't the world wean off oil and supporting then-repressive regimes 50 years ago. I despair for the species sometimes.
There's another possibility: perhaps it works, but in a way that is not trivial to prove. For example, maybe it depends on who's doing it. You or I would be unable to prove it, but we're not cat changers.
I also liked/like the idea of one state object. With hooks now they really discourage packing everything into one state object and you either have to use a bunch of different `useState` statements for your different variables or pack a big state object in one `useState` but then you face big performance issues with needless re-renders when you only change one element of the state object.
If you don’t want to be locked, AWS is perhaps not for you. IMHO you should learn software containers and other standard devops tools.
This is a different use of the word materialism. You are reading it as the tendency to consider material possessions of high importance. The post is referring to a philosophical doctrine that nothing exists except for matter, its movements and its modifications. This is in contrast to belief systems that include things that are "supernatural" such as invisible beings, spirits, mystical energy forces, etc.
It's tasteless, but I like this one for the unusually intricate ambiguity:

Did you hear about the constipated mathematician?

He worked it out with a pencil.
We evaluated render, fly, and digitalocean app platform. Went for the last one. It's mostly fine, the main issue is if you need to customize the app.yaml and then update any UI setting, it will overwrite the customizations. They're aware of it and are working on fixing. Ideally I wish we could store the app.yaml in our app repo itself and have it version controlled as well.
I also have a degree in economics and think if you average out the two opinions upthread you get closer to the truth :)

(No but seriously, rational expectations works pretty well in the limited sense of showing that economic models making other assumptions about how human behaviour expect humans to persistently make systematic errors that there's usually no justification for. It's of no value in understanding human behaviour and rather limited value in predictive modelling, especially when it emerges as the assumption that expectations are always correct in their priors, as opposed to the assumption that they eventually adapt to making random rather than systematic error. Similarly the New Keynesian paradigm is pretty good at showing that even in idealised market conditions it only takes one bit of friction to create a situation where economic stimulus results in less economic pain than letting the economy sort itself out, but if you're actually trying to predict the size of the stimulus required by estimating menu costs you're doing it wrong.

Since the New Keynesians managed to adapt their models to the Lucas critique whilst having quite different policy preferences to Lucas himself, it's also pretty clear that the allegiance to models isn't blind and economists are perfectly capable of formulating different proposals for better and for worse despite rather than because of modelling orthodoxy)
Previous comment means materialism as defined in philosophy. Not materialistic.
The OPs claim is that allowing violent rhetoric against the Russian army is anti-Russian. True or not, how "Western governments would respond to" allowing violent rhetoric against US soldiers, isn't relevant to that claim.

And, no, violent rhetoric against an invading national army is not equivalent to violent rhetoric against an ethnicity. The idea is offensive.
Ceefax was shut down in 2012.[1] I have no idea about the Dutch one, it's possible that it's older.

edit: According to this site[2] the Dutch teletext was broadcast "on the open network" on April 1, 1980. There's also a Swedish source claiming that Swedish Text-TV is the oldest in the world.[3]

You mean you cannot manually choose the lens on iPhone 13?? :O

I have an old Samsung Note 8; I was contemplating Iphone 13 Pro for my wife so we can improve the casual/random photos of our kids, but that'd be a deal breaker :-<

[context - we have Nikon d800, d7200, couple of d90's, V1, etc lying around the house so we do like photos, and being able to zoom or choose a lens is something we take for granted :]
This is the kind of thing (Korean fan death is another) that sends me into a momentary spiral as I rack my brain for any scientifically indefensible convictions I may hold myself. Of course I don't come up with anything—that's the whole issue—save for the fact that I, out of sheer ignorance and blind faith in what I've been told by various authorities (and, to a much lesser degree, by what I've observed personally), generally believe in peer-reviewed, effectively canonized science.

It's easy to point to western religions as examples of this kind of thing, but I think there are plenty of other unverifiable (or even effectively disproven) but deeply felt beliefs that proliferate among both the right and the left, some of which are deeply dangerous and only gaining momentum.
I’ll try:

“Don’t trip the most obvious trigger for ww3 until all avenues for sanctions, embargoes, and boycotts have been exhausted. This obviously includes stopping gas purchases from Russia.”

But as D’s A, I would wonder where this stops. Should US be opening domestic production with gusto? Should Germany demand oil from Middle East with threats of soft and hard power? Shall they buy from Iran, Russia’s friend? Shall they embargo China, who presumably still buys fossil fuels from Russia, and every other customer of Russia?

Assume Germany’s need for gas is not elastic - they can’t simply endure with less. To what lengths shall they go to avoid Russian gas?

Once Russia is economically desperate, will ww3 be triggered anyway?

I don’t know the answers to these questions, but I do wonder about them.
UROP can be an amazing opportunity. Professors are looking for freshman (and older) to participate in real research opportunities. For many graduating MIT, they describe it as the most impactful aspect of their time at MIT.
Recent events suggest that if stuff like that isn't considered at the top, a hierarchy of yes-men won't fill that gap. Note that "made ... a priority" does not necessarily mean "got involved in actual decisions"
In MacOS you can search the menu of GUI apps. This helps discovery so much.
> Still blows my mind that Germany and other countries are closing nuclear facilities though.

That's kind of a misconception. Germany isn't (and wasn't) closing any nuclear plants that weren't about to closed anyways - it was all old plants.

What Germany did was not bringing online new ones and instead choosing to invest that money elsewhere.
Funny, I just had this problem. We got a taro-mousse cake for my daughter's birthday and I was trying to take a photo of it on my iPhone 11 Pro. I could see the brilliant purple of the taro section of the cake with my own eyes, but the iPhone would hesitate before eventually turning it into a darker, almost brown color.
Personally I'm tired of the HDR-ification of everything. House listings? It's like realtors figured out what HDR was and went NUTS. Those images are like the comic sans of photography.
I don't mean materialism as in a love of money or material goods. I mean materialism as in believing that truth claims must be verified with empirical, physical evidence.

People in traditional societies do not think physicality or empiricism is the primary way of determining what is true.

These people are showing you that fear, desperation, and hope lead them to believing a narrative that requires them to take another human being's life in the hope of gaining some physical advantage for themselves. They are literally sacrificing another human being for the hope of improving their own future.

Is what they are doing based on some empirical evidence? No. Are the effects of what they believe still real? Yes. Their hierarchy of ontology has a coherence of its own and allows their society to function, and is a very ancient structure. The concept of the "evil eye" (which is tightly related to these African practices) is a very old mechanism for managing wealth (and good or bad fortune) in communities for thousands of years.

To come along and say "well, this is nonsense. Let's convince them they're wrong by using physical evidence to prove it!" seems pretty hubristic.
Agnostic atheist: Someone who lacks belief in a specific religion or god but doesn't rule out the possibility of those religions or gods being true and real. They don't personally believe but aren't egotistical enough to speak in absolutes regarding the unknown.
> there is no way to stop someone coding in assembler from making a kernel system call.

Take a look at OpenBSD, then- if you make a syscall from any language at all, but it's not from within libc, the kernel will simply kill the process: https://lwn.net/Articles/806776/

This forced Go to switch from making direct syscalls to making them indirectly via libc: https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/programming/Go116Op...

I don't really care about your opinion of Rust, but if anything can make people who behave like you this upset, I'm all for it.
That URL for playball is cool. Thanks!
Someone else caught me out on that too by suggesting making it `amount_in_dollars` elsewhere in the thread ;)

Now you can say how there are also AUD, CAD...

The point was simply that if units are needed due to lack of specific type being used, it's nicer to have that in the API when language allows it.

This is an area where suitable extracurricular activities can give more perspective on things.

In many disciplines there are activities that end up feeling like 'scaffolding', learning exercises that you don't necessarily do all the time. They make you a better practitioner the first time you do them, continue to add value for some time, and then are useful from time to time as a refresher.

I think if you've never done TDD, you're missing out. If you had to be dragged kicking and screaming into it, you're missing out (possibly have damaged yourself in the process) You don't need to make a cult out of it (and I suspect some of the resistance to it is from people who feel like they're being asked to join one), anymore than you have to religiously clean your shoes to see value from having a set of cleaning tools.

The same for pair programming. It makes you look at some classes of problem in an new way, and those lessons can stick with you even when you are working alone on a personal project.

Most of the time these days I tend to do a testing sandwich. When I'm still trying to figure out what the APIs will allow I'm free-form writing code trying to stick the concepts together. At some point I get stuck trying to juggle corner cases, and I realize that I'm grinding gears and need to write test code for a while. At this point I still get a lot of the ergonomics benefits of TDD because I'm not yet wedded to my implementation (low sunk cost) - because it doesn't work anyway.
It's not so much "tricks" that one needs to look out for.

The compiler has just tons of internal heuristics on when and when not to apply various code transformations. Those heuristics, first off may not even be applicable for your platform of choice, and even if they are, their magic numbers aren't necessarily tuned well to the platform and application at hand.

Here is a well written and concise case study, albeit somewhat old (2010), that illustrates what I am talking about. The results of variations measurements will have changed since then but the overall high level situation hasn't. If you read the paper, in your mind, just replace every instance of x86 with ARM and every instance of ARM with RISCV and you'll get the idea.

I use Akka.NET in production. It’s been good and I don’t have any major concerns, but I wonder sometimes about depending on a third-party library in case it becomes obsolete.

One difficulty coming from non-actor systems is getting a callback or response from messages. By default, actor messages are outgoing-only so the idea of a callback or response message needs to be implemented on top.

"The need for a status quo is so powerful that we must preserve the status quo at all costs" is there more to it than that because I really can't find anything else here.

The current approach is abhorrent because of its effects on human lives today and needs to be ended for that reason. No one here is the author of the future and it's not their responsibility to present a vision of it that you will accept before you acknowledge horrors that exist now.

I think a common use case for this type of technology was subtitles for deaf people, so it's possible that they still use it out of habit. These days I think subtitles are probably sent to most TVs in a more modern fashion.
Just honesty and that the German government states this clearly at the same time that says “we are fully with Ukraine”.

You can just say “we are with Ukraine up to the russian gas.” But that would just be true not beautiful.
Yes, there is a huge lack of open and approachable information sources in micro-architecture.

Be aware though, the micro-architecture used here is very interesting but differs in many ways from state of the art industrial high-end micro-architectures for superscalar out-of-order speculative processor.

There won't be consensus. This war started over one party having lots of demands and not even recognizing the other party as sovereign and the other party just wanting to be left in peace. How the fuck should a compromise look like here?

It's like being robbed at gunpoint and negotiating a deal with the robber about how much you might keep.
No, there is no reason to have a little humility and willingness to understand people killing children for body parts to use in a magic ritual to earn money. There's no evidence that it works, there's no evidence that it should work, and on top of that, it's reprehensible.
Please discuss your arguments instead of flagging...

When a comment starts with "walled garden", there usually isn't anything to discuss. Just like the assumption-filled title of this post, the commenter has already established their position with a tiresome, and probably not even accurate, assessment of the situation. I don't know if that warrants flagging, but it sure doesn't warrant much discussion.
Depends on your definition of "tavern."

Having lived in both places, a "tavern" in New York and a "tavern" in Wisconsin can be different things, depending on a lot of factors.

For auth, cognito is what you'll have to look at unless you want to build something out yourself. It has a per user cost

Avoid Dynamo unless you understand it. It will be like firebase but 10x worse, if you get it wrong, there are 2 great aws conference talks on youtube about it, and a great book out there. Its really its own subject, great when you use it right, and absolute nightmare any other way.

Object storage with s3 is pretty simple, turning on cloudfront for cdn is also easy.

If we didn't flush toilets but all of a sudden because of some law (directly or indirectly), we started flushing toilets; we should be concerned about it. But that's clearly not the case here and your analogy doesn't hold up.
Interesting - I began using Svelte after years of using React, and I found it to be far less framework-y. I feel much more connected to what's actually happening, but I also haven't built out a very complex application with it yet. Is it the weird $: reactive model that you don't like? That was the weirdest part for me, even if it's supposed to be "normal" javascript.

In fact, the 'does what I want, does it well, and does little else" is very much the reason I like it. Whatever you think of it under the hood (and I have opinions, both positive and negative here), I do like using it.

It's the first 'desktop' I wanted to use, and have used for more than a few weeks, approximately 10 years now. I've generally liked the changes and improvements over time. It finally budged me off of (wait for it) vtwm.gamma.

To each his cup of tea.
With class components, lifecycle management is trickier to encapsulate and reuse since you have to split such things up and scatter them across several different methods or wrap the whole component in a HOC, and in general class components require more boilerplate. Thus you'll usually end up with code that's just a bit more spaghetty than with function components. With hooks, you can at least encapsulate some specific behavior behind exactly one function call without jumping through any extra hoops.
IANAL, but as far as I know it's very important it's GPLv3 which means the antitivoization clause, which means that hardware that uses this firmware must provide full source code and a way to let you use your own firmware.

If somehow this code is not in a firmware... No idea.

It’s hard to say as the further you get away from a common ancestor the more the behavior of different species diverges (maybe a bit tautological, but still worth pointing out).

I played with my pet rat and we were good friends. We’d play little games and I’d tickle her Rats and humans diverged maybe 80 million years ago. Interestingly, humans and dogs diverged perhaps 100 million years ago, and we know we can communicate with dogs.

However an octopus is ~600 million years away from a mutual common ancestor, which is way back in the Precambrian. It’s an order of magnitude more time.

> the school barely touched on the SAT since the focus was, by necessity, focused on the ACT. The SAT was an afterthought. For the teachers, it was a legitimate existential crisis if the ACT wasn't taught well, while the SAT was effectively irrelevant to them.

The ACT and SAT are two tests used for college admissions. If you take one, you don't need to take the other.

> despite the ACT not mattering in the slightest to the future of the individual student

The ACT is used for college admissions. Are you thinking of a different test?

It sounds like you have an issue with the teach-to-the-test mentality and the fact that "the test" isn't the SAT. I understand the concern that students are pulled in too many directions. But according to what you've written "the test" is the ACT. That is a substitute for the SAT. They are only being pulled in one direction. It is the direction that will help get them into college.
They also spent years telling people how the butterfly keyboard were amazing, despite the feedback they got. It came off like they ignored their customers and said "we know what's best." You can do that in development, but once your customers actually get their hands on the product, it's time to listen to them.
