I used OR-Tools via the Python bindings a few years ago. It was nice to work with once I got setup but it was a pain to get it installed (both locally and when deploying to a cloud server).

I would have liked some kind of API that I could call out to instead but nothing existed at the time: you pass in the inputs to construct the linear equations and then you get back the results.
I know they don't "owe" anyone anything. But it is disappointing they've apparently declined to release their code changes

It's also apparently unclear if the overhauled version will run on a real N64 or if it only runs in an emulator
You do not pay market rate for electricity.

Texas does allow consumers to pay market rate for electricity, you may have heard about last winter people getting bills in the several thousands of dollars when prices spiked.

CAISO was 97% renewable for only a moment, not the entire day.

The 3rd was a Sunday, not a peak day.

And the average price for energy for the day was $30.77 (day head) $27.1 (real time) for TH_SP15_GEN-APND (per MWh)
That's assuming everything else is 0.
Well, on-chain games might not get us back to this as much as people think, but they're definitely closer to it than 'normal' online games.
Article doesn't get into this level of detail, but I'd be interested in how they define "renewable". Does it include hydropower, which is renewable but has strong non-carbon-related undesirable environmental consequences? Is burned trash "renewable"?
The people who try to order a single black coffee and plop down for 8 hours (the aforementioned "laptop hobos") are almost assuredly going to be using an older laptop with a beat up battery.

People who can afford a latest gen MacBook with great battery life are also the people who can afford fancier drinks every couple hours.
If the males survive then they can pair with normal females and use up their resources. Say I have 2 boys, and 2 girls, all die that's 4 people who won't have babies. But say the boys live and marry 2 girls. Now we have 2 dead, and 4 who can't reproduce, for 6 total taken out of the healthy reproducing gene pool. Every male with the gene who finds a life partner also takes a otherwise healthy fertile female out of the gene pool as well.
Red and blue are the extremes of colours we can see, and because of the change in wave length they focus at different lengths in our eye. So to focus on either colour your eye has to adjust its focal length, which gives the 3d effect. The perspective probably adds to it.

It's called chromostereopsis - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromostereopsis
I don't think believers of the Bible claim that the Creation account in Genesis was written by a human who watched the events unfold, and who understood it enough to write an account based on their own understanding.

Instead, it is claimed to be a divine revelation, given by God to explain (using language and ideas that would be most useful to most people) the important truths about the Creation process and Man's place within it.
> Why do you care?

Because fixing it later is really expensive. Ask the cane toad fans
Yes! In particular, it is usually to create some concrete data/parameters to be used towards creating the final product.

In the usual Excel Solver case, for a simplified example, I want to create a biased coin where getting heads doubles your money and tails loses your money, with expected payout 90% in the long run. The parameters to change are heads/tails coin weighting, to target a value 90%. A fair coin gives a long run payout of 100%. It turns out that if a biased coin hits heads 45% of the time and tails 55% of the time, we end up with this 90% payout. Excel solver can come up with these two values.

In this example, we can come up with these 45% and 55% values theoretically. With more complex systems, we may want to see the effects of changing a subset of parameters that have an indirect effect on payout.

For example, if we extend the “biased coin game” to instead be “win your money back, 2, or 3 times your wager each with some probability” on a heads result, there are more parameters (and many solutions!) to get to 90% payout. Changing the heads probability has a further, second-order effect on the payout. Using Excel solver it’s straightforward to fix some parameters (heads/tails probability) and allow others to change (1x/2x/3x odds) to get desired results (90% payout).

If we further extend this methodology for a biased coin game, we can end up with a coin game that pays with distribution exactly like a slot machine in a casino, though it would not look like one!

Their insight is that you can get all the benefits of believing in evolution just by acting as if you believe it, without believing it.

And the same applies to all facts. Scientists, of course, all rely on the same insight, and don't believe anything except experiments; plus God, if they care to.
> How much of CA's electricity consumption is fed by that operator?

80% of California and part of Nevada also. Don't confuse the grid operator with the utility. Those are separate entities.

The ISO is the market maker for electricity - ultimately responsible for keeping supply and demand on the grid in balance. They contract with numerous entities to achieve that.

The utility is responsible for some combination of generation, transmission, distribution, and billing, depending on where you are located.

There are many other players in the markets, including spinning reserves, independent generators, demand aggregators, community-choice-aggregators, and some that play multiple roles.
Ask HN: Is Anyone on HN Using Vanilla JavaScript for New Web Projects?
I’m curious what the HN community is developing with for font-end work on new projects and if anyone is considering Vanilla JS for new projects or if most people are using React?

Obviously, a lot of companies still have plenty of all Vanilla JS projects, jQuery, etc but it feels from jobs that recruiters send me (and companies whom I spoke with) that almost all new development is using React.

For my background I’ve been developing with JavaScript since 1998 and have developed applications and sites with a wide range of popular libraries over the years so I’m comfortable with Vanilla JS. React, and more. My preference is actually Vanilla JS (even using Web Components) over React but it feels almost unheard of in the current environment.

At my current job I pretty much use everything (React, Vue, Vanilla JS) and even maintain some very old Classic ASP sites. For a new project I’m starting (everything from scratch – database, back-end, front-end) I’m currently debating whether to use React or Web Components.
CAISO doesn't cover the city of Los Angeles, but that's about it.
There is no shortage because across the board wages are rising much slower than inflation. Considering software developers specifically: The wages in Europe are much lower than in the US. We are talking about less than 50% after taxes. And in Germany wages for software developers are even lower than UK, Netherlands, Scandinavia, Switzerland and even parts of France (Paris). Conclusion: there is no shortage of software developers in Germany. Not by a long shot.

I've been in the same position as you, also on Immersed, and I just can't quite get used to reading text and editing code in VR.

I think part of it is that you have to move your head not your eyes, and that's not how I tend to read.

I have been really impressed with the hardware though. Games are good. Tracking is super precise. The way passthrough video is handled is really clever.

I want it to be my multi-monitor setup but it's just not quite doing it for me yet.
They’re doing it because they went bankrupt over $30B in liability from not preparing in this fashion.

It wasn’t voluntary, really.
Do your glasses produce any level of chromatic abberation? If so, that would explain it.

For my glasses, blue tends to get pushed slightly to the outside of the center of my vision and red gets pushed towards the center. At the center of my vision, I don't notice it, but if I look towards the edge of my lenses, it's pretty apparent.

This abberation will cause a significant shift when looking at pure reds and blues, creating the 3D effect.

My interpretation is that this was a low demand moment where that 27gw was more or less equal to the demand (e.g. a demand trough not a renewable output spike).
This has annoyed me for years with my polycarbonate (or some other plastic) lenses. I do a lot of work plotting data, and people like to use vibrant colors with pure red, green, blue. Well I turn my head slightly and the lines shift, or they split into two different colored lines.

With a prescription around -6 I'm not sure what the best alternative is, I was looking into glass lenses again.
This is really quite fascinating.

Thinking about the resource cost to prop-up, maintain, and cross-integrate a platform anywhere close to AWS is a business in itself.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fengning_Pumped_Storage_Powe...

Looks like California should start building one of these 3.6GW 40GWh batteries since at this rate routine 120-150% renewable power days dont look so far off and it'll take about 6 years to build.

No sugars might have been better said as “less sugars” for the pedantic amongst us.

Never said there was no mechanical cleaning. But they certainly didn’t have our “advanced” toothbrushes, toothpastes and mouthwashes. In fact, I’d say “mechanical washing” was an unavoidable aspect of eating harder foods rather than the soft, sticky processed items we tend towards today. And furthermore, with less stickiness (gluten and sugars) they would have needed less mechanical washing.

Anyways, lifestyle changes don’t need to be all or nothing to have a measurable effect

And yes even good bacteria can/will be bad at some point. Nonetheless they are still better than most others and will help maintain homeostasis for as long as time allows. We haven’t yet found a cure for time-related degeneration/accumulation, have we? But again, maybe I should have said “better bacteria” rather than “good”
Well, you still have to patch and secure your OS on EC2. As far as EC2, AWS is really just taking over the hardware portion and making it somewhat easier to scale. But rapidly scaling is not something most apps do, even big ones.

If we're talking about serverless then I think that containerization (either running containers on bare metal, or on kubernetes) changes the value prop of serverless a lot, because if you've got a container environment you can easily just clone an off-the-shelf production-ready container to deploy your app.

As far as your host OS goes get a production ready image to run your production ready container images. It's a one time thing. Keeping the OS updated? This is not brain surgery every time there is an update. Plus you can configure it to automatically install security updates.
> Replacing tires, inner tubes

Note I did say tubeless - I bought the bike to ride trails and I understand these to be more durable. If it took the guy at the shop an hour to put a tire on, have him describe it as not fun, requiring specialized tools, and say it'll last a year if I maintain it a bit, I can assure you I'm not going to DIY that.

The transmission is simple, just a rear derailleur with 12 speeds, I am glad for this, it seems very well built and I don't expect issue, but I would be hopeless to fix it were it to severely break.

The brakes are extremely critical on steep and rocky trails so I will also leave this to the professionals. Overall, I don't think becoming a bike mechanic is a trivial venture, and given the relatively high stakes nature of trail riding I prefer to have it done at an expert level.
viztracer can create traces for python programs. Not sure about async-io awareness though.
> Does it include hydropower, which is renewable but has strong non-carbon-related undesirable environmental consequences?

IIUC, the vast majority of ecological impact caused by hydro is already done. It is not making things exponentially worse.

Am I missing something?
Wow, this is amazing! Plus he's adding split-screen co-op mode??! Mind blown. Impressive work, seriously.
He is planning to release the source code at a later date. He is waiting because the source code is intertwined with a ROM Hack he made, and he is unable to release the improvements without releasing the ROM Hack in an unfinished state.

The overhauled version will run on a real N64 as long as it has the RAM expansion pack.
As another commented said, the bible says God has no beginning, so there you go.

More importantly though, religion is meant to explain the meaning of life, not that the chain of events that lead to it. It has fundamentally different, though not necessarily incompatible, goals than science. So in short, the answer is that from a religious perspective, it doesn't matter.
Is this why Calfornia energy is so expensive and constantly having blackouts?
Nice, but I specifically don't want this tool.
I work from cafes a few days a week. I'm aware that this is not what cafes are for, so I generally try to consume as much as I can (multiple espressos and water bottles that I'd honestly normally get) to offset that, and also tip generously. I also try to get the most undesirable and/or smaller table, and so far the people appreciated and understood what I'm doing. But then again, I know people are different. So I'm not looking forward for a lot of people to fill cafes and sit there for 4 hours on a 2$ bill, it's just going to hurt me as someone that tries to be mindful of someone's business, and the business owner as someone who'll have to kick out a hobo with a Macbook for sipping an espresso for 5 hours while working for more than the coffee shop makes in a day/week.

On there you can dig in and find what sources are counted as renewable.
What I wonder is the breakdown of sources.

Hydro electric?
(I wonder if roof top solar is included here).

Also, note this was over a very short period of time. And there's still night time, when solar doesn't operate, except for whatever got stored into batteries.

I want it to succeed too, VR recently has become really quite impressive in many regards.

I do wonder if it's overly ambitious. There's a Linux distro to maintain as part of this project as well as a huge hardware project.
Actually it has explicit support for async task based reporting:

Sounds about right for the power only, but you also probably get a battery with it to deal with power outages… I don’t know how to price the utility of that, but it’s why I bought solar.
So the title should be - CA generated 97% of electricity from renewable energy for a brief moment on April 3?
I think this is it.

My glasses have a noticeable aberration when I look at the edges of the lenses. This image gives me a slight parallax when I look around with my glasses on, but if I take them off, it doesn't happen at all.
No, because joebob's interpretation is wrong.
You're saying the opposite of what the other guy said, though. They said that at scale small things are big. I'm saying that at scale .001% is still .001%.

Huh, a lot of this doesn't ring true to me, as someone who's negotiated comp at 6 (mostly YC backed) startups over the past 5 years.

In my experience, 10 year expiration dates for options and reasonably detailed financials (at the very least, ARR, ARR growth rate, churn rate) have been table stakes. And most companies were happy to let me view their latest round's pitch deck, after signing an NDA.

It's frustrating that almost no company offers early exercise rights, given how significant a tax value that it can represent, but compared to most other industries, it does seem tech is particularly employee friendly.
It's also why we have a safety on firearms. I mean, it's pretty simple, if you don't want the gun to shoot, don't pull the trigger.
You can construct any number of statements that can't be disproved. That doesn't make them plausible.
You can be 100% correct in all of the above, and it can still be true that Github cannot be trusted, in the manner that the article states.

If anything, you're not really arguing against the article's claim; you're simply explaining why they cannot be trusted but can't help it.

"The guy whose real fault it is" or whatever is a bit of a red herring in this context.
So your comparison with your $5 local lab is not just less "convenient"!

Do you really need multi-multi-region failover redundancy? Do you really need multiple NATs in every region (it's easy to share one NAT Gateway across AZs, especially so if a region is only servicing DR)? Your numbers still sound high.

x $1 + y $0.60 to make up $30 is a _lot_ of regions/AZs.

From the article:

> Rooftop solar advocacy group Save California Solar said although this milestone should be celebrated, California’s renewable energy progress is better measured by conditions on a hot August summer day than a cool April spring day. Renewable peaks typically occur in the spring, due to mild temperatures and the sun angle allowing for an extended window of strong solar production.
Disclaimer: this comment is not about environmentalism or even the environmental impact. I’m not wading in those waters with HN.

It’s difficult to see this as a net positive given the financial hardship brought about to even make this headline a reality (note that even the headline is misleading and requires context).

It’s a bit like the person who goes out and purchases a vehicle, spends countless hours away from his family working on it, takes out additional loans to modify it, crashes it, repairs it and then wins 2nd place at the local meetup. You have to ask yourself, at what point was this worth it?
yes, but how does IPTV get their content? It's piracy all the way down.
So, there are a lot of tricky translation issues in B'reisheet (the first being that we're calling it Genesis, but no comparable word actually appears in the text). This is not too surprising since a lot of routine concepts today didn't really exist when it was written. However, there are several things that seem not only inconsistent with modern scientific consensus but inconsistent within the book itself.

Most obvious is that in chapter 1, animals are said to exist before people ("fifth day", "sixth day"). In chapter 2, however, this happens in the reverse order ("It is not good that man should be alone... formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air"). The latter disagrees with not only the former, but also with basically all evidence we have.
How long have you been able to stretch that battery out when your power is out? Don’t have a point to make or anything, I’m just curious. I hadn’t really considered that.

>due to the nature of my employment I am no longer employed

This is an overlooked problem. Lack of employment protection. Nobody should be able to be fired for being arrested. That doesn't mean they committed a crime. It's not their fault they can't show up to work. There should be employment protection for that. In my country, even schoolteachers being investigated for sexual abuse aren't fired. They aren't allowed to go to work but they still get paid while the justice is being worked out, because they might turn out to be innocent!
Every time I do the math, any money I would spend on a solar system, would be better invested in an energy utility and just collect the dividend to pay my electric bill.

If you want to do solar for the environment, fine - I won't fault you - but if you are doing it to save/make money, there are better places to invest.

I once interviewed with a startup and the equity part of the offer was only x number of options. So I was like, OK what is current/expected evaluation and how many shares outstanding, like what is the percentage I get. That was apparently "big company thinking" and they rescinded the offer just for asking this question (through the experienced recruiter).
