I was like that with the Civilization games; whenever I installed one I always ended up playing until dawn. For some reason they hook like no other game. Eventually I learned to uninstall it and leave it uninstalled. Too dangerous. Even engaging with content about the game is dangerous, as you found out.

There are plenty of other games to play that are still fun and won't be as addictive though. You could try a different multiplayer game or even stick to single player games if that's too much.
If it is retrospective, it doesn't really say anything about renewables because for most of the last 50 years they haven't been [meaningfully] feasible. The debate going forward is still entirely valid because nuclear has upsides that contrast with renewable. It should be part of the discussion.
The US probably would have done something similar a year earlier. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a tech demo for the benefit of the Russians. It was certainly immoral (and racist) but saved many more foreign lives than it cost.

As bad as Hitler was, the Russians killed orders of magnitude more civilians in that war, and were ready to launch into the rest of Europe after Berlin fell.

Unless they changed tactics, they would have run scorched earth campaigns in Western Europe, and Hitler's concentration camps would just be a footnote in most history texts.

Edit: Also, if you haven't seen it, watch Grave of the Fireflies. The US did far worse things to Japan than nuking it. There's a reason the Japanese surrendered well before the nukes.
> During last year’s election campaign, Trudeau’s party also proposed a ban on “blind bidding” for houses -- the prevailing system by which offers are kept secret when someone is auctioning a home.

This is such a huge deal. Anyone who has had to go through the process of buying a home through a bidding war knows how unfair and one-sided this process is. It take a high-pressure emotional situation, and gives all of the information to one side (the sellers), while leaving the buyer stuck guessing at what the real price for the house is supposed to be. An absolutely horrible process that should be banned. Banning this is such a simple reform. I sincerely hope it happens, though I doubt it it will.
I was about to post the same comment: price is set at the margin.

Also, if you look at the 5% in different ways, it becomes more significant. In your neighbourhood across Canada, 1 in 20 of the houses is owned by a foreigner. Now if you concentrate that in to Vancouver and Toronto... lets say 1 in 10 is owned by a foreigner... really starting to have an impact.
If therapy is mostly a USA thing why does ICD exist as a completely separate diagnostics structure vs DSM? Why are there huge studies and money towards culture specific mental illnesses and phenomenon that doesn’t exist in the USA entirely?

Friendly tip: if timezones are an issue, try hiring in south America. We have the advantage of sharing 4 working hours with Europe and California. Also with similar salaries you will get more qualified candidates. You might be surprised with the amount of rust engineers you will find.
With carbonated beverages, canned seems the most strongly-carbonated to me, followed closely by plastic bottles, then glass which seems much milder. Maybe the caps on glass leak more CO2.

... of course that could all be in my head.
Depending on how recent the model is, it can be somewhat tough. Generally it takes a bit of time after a new model appears before there are working drivers for wifi, which quite often is a deal breaker. Sometimes a driver will be working a bit earlier but not be released yet, so you can compile your own kernel with it patched in, but even as a daily Arch user that's more effort than I'm willing to go through on a regular basis. I know there's progress being made on a distro that fully supports the new ARM macbooks, but my understanding is that most distros will not work on it right now. I think "everything works out of the box" is mostly true for most non-Apple laptops nowadays for Linux, but I'm not sure it will ever be the case for macbooks (unless Apple decides to make sure it's the case, which seems fairly unlikely).

To me, the value of unit tests really depends on the power of the type system. If you're in working with Haskell, Ocaml, ... , unit test have almost no value. However, if you're using python, php, javascript,... unit tests will help you to avoid most silly mistakes.
It's a combination of: I really like my manager and have had much worse, I'm using the company to move me to one of the other locations, and not really minding the going in. I'll probably start looking after the move.

My manager doesn't have much control of the WFH thing, it's the CEOs directive. I'm just a junior engineer with not much sway so my remote request was denied by their bosses boss who has never met me.
Thank you for posting this. Those numbers scary?! Does anyone know if these have kept increasing?

I wonder if some of the gender and queer issues in kids these days are actually because of this issue, same with other pathologies that sometimes require medication like ADHD/Autism.

I'm saying that only from a place of love - as i've always always felt "wrong" in some aspects myself, and have always wondered if increased diagnosis is because of natural biological types getting recognised, because of industry pressure to sell more medication, or because of pollution or lifestyle.

Very different scenarios.
This ban will not fix the issue by itself, but it should reduce some pricing pressure.

I bet that the short-term rental market is also somewhat involved.

With any legislative approach to solving a problem, I wonder if enforcement is possible and likely to happen.
That’s rough. The housing market there is like the SF Bay Area’s housing market, but with extremely abysmal pay. I’m surprised you guys didn’t go remote sooner.

Working remotely is not just about time management. It requires a level of discipline and most importantly, Integrity and Honesty. Unfortunately, some people take advantage of the situation and try to game it. I have hired many people over the years including remotely and I have some of our best employees that work remotely (I never worry about them) and some real bad apples who were outright liars and cheats.

Real estate is always a good investment (unfortunately), and capital flight from Asia is not a joke. It's happening in Europe too. Personally, I think governments in well developed countries should do their best to dissuade investment in housing as a financial instrument. Why should I compete with a millionaire, be it local or foreign, for a decent house to live in a city I've lived in for years?
What I would really like is to give input/output examples, and then have a tool figure out the cheapest way to calculate the output from the input.

Federal Liberals can't do anything about that, it's a provincial responsibility.

The Ontario provincial Conservatives commissioned a report into how to make housing affordable, and then completely ignored almost everything it said.

This summer, I'm voting for whoever promises to actually implement the Housing Affordability Task Force report.
Batteries are the most expensive storage medium. No utility will use those to keep more than a few minutes or hours of backup. Pumped hydro is cheap and reliable, but each site has a strict upper limit on how much it can store.

Synthetic anhydrous ammonia, and hydrogen, are the favored utility-scale media. They can be stored, but more importantly they can also be shipped in from the tropics, and most importantly can be sold when the tanks are full.
> The particular thing that comes to mind repeatedly when reading this is the fact that more or less all of mathematics can be derived starting either from set theory or from logic theory.

I don't know if this is the actual foundation of mathematics though - we're seeing more advances in category theory, the Russell-Whitehead project of reducing mathematics to pure logic is generally considered a failure, and set theory's bogged down in issues of axioms in the wake of Cohen's proof of the indecidability of the continuum hypothesis. It's probably better to see these foundational projects as providing windows into the mathematical universe instead of being the actual substance of mathematics.

After all, we do mathematics without pure logic or sets all the time. Axioms are chosen for their elegance and ability to describe conceived mathematical concepts, not the other way around.

Ah yes, good ol' SGI, it always brings a smile to my face reading these old war stories.

I wish we could get some insight on the development of the first successful 3D game on PC, Quake by I'd software as there's a famous picture of John Carmack sitting in front of some SGI workstation with a monitor with a resolution ox 1920*1080( in 1995!)

Also, SGI powered most VFX Studios of that era, so many great movies went through those machines before ending up on the big screen.

It's insane how quickly 3dfx, Nvidia and Intel X86 consumer hardware made SGI workstations overpriced and completely obsolete within the span of just a few years. The '90's were a blast.

But still, I'm sad to see SGI go, as their funky shaped and brightly colored workstations and monitors had the best industrial design[1] in an era of depressing beige, grey or black square boxes.

It's very easy to build housing here in Montana but that hasn't stopped property prices from rising significantly.
I respectfully disagree. Traveling to the office or for an offsite once a quarter is totally reasonable and when planned some three weeks ahead or so, should pose no issues whatsoever.

If you are unable to fit this in your schedule, or are actually that mentally unfit you cannot oblige your fellow humans in your job... Every once in a while? Then you should not have that job. This should be considered reasonable by any standard.

Not wanting to deal with humans most of the time... Fine. Not being able to deal with your human colleagues, who do want to deal with each other, ever? Not fine. $0.02
My take is that advertising may work globally, in that if any advertising occurs it may have an effect, but each player is a fringe in the advertising market and may have their tide lifted simply by domain awareness of advertiser topics.

Ad effectiveness for specific brands may be complete bunk. But advertising effectiveness for a product space may do well to raise awareness.

It's not about "boosting nukes" it's about countering nuclear energy FUD (mostly about how dangerous nuclear energy is). Renewables would probably be comparable, but I'm very skeptical about your "several times better" claim. Nuclear energy and renewable energy are both very low carbon sources with very few non-pollution-derived deaths (rooftop solar exceeds nuclear energy for deaths, even including nuclear anomalies like Chernobyl IIRC). So there's no way that the carbon gap between fossil fuels and nuclear is significantly larger (much less 3x larger) than the gap between fossil fuels and renewables.
This resonates to me. In my last job we didn't plan our authZ story very well (or at all!). As our company experienced explosive growth, we ended up implementing something that I suspect is pretty common: AuthZ policy as data because we ended up representing it in a postgres db, and policy as code because we then had to write an "engine" to interpret that data. There were none of these emerging cloud authZ solutions, having one might have saved us a lot of time and grief!

I thought it was a product by Readdle, which coincidentally has similar branding colors.
It's not complete bullshit, it just fails to engage with the already existing work on the subject. He's creating his own entire system instead of looking at similar work by others and fitting his theory in with those. If you don't play philosophy on their turf, philosophers won't engage with you.
Why not? It's a free market. Compete on product, not obscurity.
I would contend that A -> B can be true even if A is not true or more relevantly to this discussion if A is unknown. That's math's version of objective truth, where "A" is filled by our various axioms and rules of inference.

You've seen pictures of blown-up trucks. The factory that produced most of those trucks has stopped producing some (or most?) models. It "will" find Russian-made replacements for the gearboxes, engines and whatever else, but hasn't yet.

It also "will" make gearboxes, but setting up the production line for that needs some German help. Overall, spare parts and new trucks to replace the blown-up ones seem scarce for quite a while. Your assertion that they "will figure out a way" may be true on a geological time scale, but do you think they'll figure it out this month? This year?

This sucks more for the unemployed workers than for the owner, I'm sure. But even more for the army, which needs trucks and spare parts for its invasion.

How can you explain appealing to these “unreal objects” (real numbers, set theory, arithmetic) * does* help science? (Effectiveness maybe)

I see you are also a non realist about science.

But even the methodological naturalist (one who takes natural empirical science to be the best method but not an ontology) must wonder how we are uncovering and putting more precision to more and more of the world.

I don’t think we can currently explain why this made up tool “works”.

Fellow Ohioan here - you're letting our secret out! The fact Ohio isn't cool makes it super cheap to live here!

Ohio is the PHP of states - that's awesome! Not sexy, not cool, just getting the job done with little fuss. That's Ohio!
Human mathematicians are already fanning out into other systems of deduction (constructive mathematics being a great example), and given enough time the mathematicians of each galaxy will eventually discover the other galaxy's mathematics, even if it perhaps happens in a different order.
Yes, and this is a good thing! If you're building infrastructure that people are going to come to rely on, it shouldn't change very much. Its interface certainly shouldn't change without very good reason.

Note that "well-behaved" rewriting systems are usually confluent; the nLab wiki has a useful description of confluent categories[ https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/confluent%20category ]. In general, category theory has plenty to say about any mathematical structures where simple operations may be arbitrarily "composed" in sequence to build more complex ones, and rewrite systems seem to be one example of this (if perhaps one where physical substrates that directly reflect that structure may be easier to come across).
Because the government makes or breaks the commercial power industry, and we only have commercial nuclear power generation as a byproduct of weapons development, while environmental groups have been extremely successful using fear to make sure that new reactors are prohibitively expensive to build.

I wonder what history will say about our environmental priorities. Will we be pilloried for doing more to harm the environment in a misguided attempt to save it?
