That wasn't the topic. At issue is whether putting storage at one end or other of a massive transmission line makes any difference. Storage at the receiving end of a transmission line will be extremely common, worldwide, because a transmission line is the conventional backup for local storage, and is also how you top up local storage during supply peaks when you haven't got a local surplus.

In fact, as this particular transmission line will be feeding into the UK national grid, its normal role will be backup for offshore wind.

That somebody else at the end of a different transmission line might want access to the battery would be a good reason to site it where those lines meet. Another might be that you need to minimize fluctuations on power going through your transmission line. But whatever the reasons, they certainly will not be trivial, and might be revelatory. Trivially dismissing the question adds no light.
I don't even code professionally any more, but when I gin up some code to solve a problem for myself in 20 minutes, I'll definitely try to clean it up before I throw it up on GitHub. I don't get any competitive advantage or economic benefit from my code, so maybe it's different for me, but if somebody finds my stuff and wants to use it, I feel like it's basic courtesy to not hand them something I vomited onto the internet.

If you just want an offsite backup for your noodling around, make it a private repo; the contributor limit won't be a problem. If you're putting it out for the world to see, take the time to comment it, put a little polish on it, a decent README, and a license. If nothing else you'll be starting from a place of sanity if you ever have to revisit the code.
I think the other half of the equation is using the recent tweets view. Whenever I accidentally end up in the algorithm view I can tell right away because of how much irrelevant BS appears.
If autobrewery syndrome is producing enough alcohol to be over .08 (unlikely), then they need to seek some medical intervention. That reading would very much be valid though, as that is their BAC. Being able to help it or not doesn't change the fact that they would be over the limit determined to be safe (just like people with uncontrolled seizures can't drive even though they can't help it).

Is there some other condition that you're thinking of that somehow renders the BAC result actually invalid? I am not aware of any, so I'm curious. Without this, it doesn't appear that this would be an issue for anyone on the autobrewery basis, and if anything it might help them identify the issue so they can't seek treatment.
In such cases, I stick with the tried-and-true 'N/A'. I still get offers, so it doesn't auto-delete my application!
Maybe, which means yes it is legal.

Will anybody come after me? Doubt it's worth it to come after an engineer making 250K and will work at your company for less than 2 years.
> I thought people complained how MySQL sucks and PostgreSQL rocks for being right and SQLite was nowhere near being right or performant

While "people" complaining is basically meaningless, I don't know why they'd be doing that about SQLite. It's used in most phones, all copies of Windows 10+, and countless other places.
Have any tried? The only one I can think of close to social is the forum Something Awful, which did (does?) pretty good for itself
This isn't something Apple has sneakily reserved for itself. Any process the user authorizes can access PF_NDRV sockets which bypass firewall rules. It's a documented feature of Darwin.

Interesting that Tesla gets its own row in the pro/con table while the faangs get lumped together.
I agree with you very strongly. My Twitter feed, which I cull carefully, is deeply rewarding and enriching for me.

At the same time, doing that feed management feels increasingly like swimming upstream against Twitter's desires. First, they started showing tweets that people I follow simply liked. Now they suggest "topics" all the time.

I have to spend more and more time reminding Twitter not to do that garbage. But, overall, I still find the time spent is worth it in return for the quality of conversation and education I get in return.

Reddit is like this for me 10x, with very little effort required to maintain my feed. Spend a few minutes picking a handful of healthy subreddits and unsubscribing from the giant ones and Reddit easily becomes one of the best sites out there.
I'm guessing not all of the tracks are welded rails and so they have expansion joints, which means a cow catcher like device trying to scrape a rail clean might hang up on a joint and get destroyed. Plus it would wear down quickly with the metal on metal contact.
Apple is not a great place to work, but it's a perfectly good company.
Absolutely. If people wanted long form posts, facebook or similar were already there (minus the coolness quotient). For in-depth stories, a lot of the folks subscribe to medium / substack, which goes feature length.

Twitter has its problems, but not having long-form should not philosophically be one of them, especially since it was centered around 140-280 character limits for short updates. Twitter should focus fixing the trolling, abuse & toxicity before they try fixing other things. Feature overhaul probably needed.
What is the "Unit of technical/economic value you identify for that? You do it at the Commit level? Build? Deploy?
Hmm. Guessing you're trying it on Android? It's relying on the navigator.clipboard API, and generally the experience is not good on mobile
If you run Windows or Linux you gain nothing. Apple just demonstrates some ability that operating systems have. They all have this ability. Apple’s benign use of it gives you no new information.
Most of Elon's questionable behaviour is 100% apolitical, as are most of the criticisms levied at the running of his companies. His actual politics isn't discussed all that much and probably isn't particularly different from your average CEO-in-a-suit, and he's really not exuding nuanced political values and getting to the bottom of truth making joke tweets about selling Tesla or doubling down on calling someone a pedo.
Minor UX bug: I did not realize holding the spacebar was how to thrust. I tapped it once to launch, it lifted and sat back down, and sent me to the "Welcome back!" screen!

I've worked with submariners who were colleagues when I was in engineering and I found them great colleagues. They documented their work carefully, were precise in their language (although colorful), and didn't accept anything less than excellence on their team. Never had one as a boss, but I feel like I'd get along fine.

That said, I would never make it on a submarine myself.
> It seemed to me that his success was more the result of a commitment, both personally and financially, to building EVs that no one had previously had.

Not even that. Other people founded the company in 2003; he became Tesla's fourth CEO when they were about to launch the Roadster in 2008.
Tangentially related, but it reminds me of a quote by Nassim Taleb: "The curse of modernity is that we are increasingly populated by a class of people who are better at explaining than understanding, or better at explaining than doing." (from Skin in the Game)

I think he said this with regard to school system (teachers and teaching). Taleb's bitterness often feels tiring and pompously unfair (albeit also funny), but I have felt something similar after years of working in journalism.
You don't get completely fucked if you lose your job and then get sick/injured? Is that not better? I pay literally $0 to go to the doctors or emergency room.
You can be libertarian and accept government subsidies. It’s not like he could have kept the recent $11B if he did not accept the subsidies. If he believes in libertarianism and would pick freedom over oppression given the choice, then he is a libertarian. He was given no choice.

I think this is a result of the persistent flawed way most companies look at management. The author points at it when he says that most managers are strong in execution, and that's true — it's viewed as the baseline trait for any manager. But execution and maintaining well-being are fundamentally in tension, and most of the time, execution wins if a choice is forced. I think we need to be splitting the role into ones focused on each of these competencies. This sometimes happens informally as it is, but making it formal would change the hiring patterns and maybe lead to better outcomes for everyone.
Banning the Bee is warranted only in the eyes of transgender ideologues.

The whole point of free speech is that no faction should be allowed to suppress the speech of others, lest such factions prevent consideration of ideas that might eventually prove convincing and true.

Human rights were invented to protect the weak against abuses from the strong (who would otherwise always get their way because in nature might always makes right).

There was one proposal to use a high power blowtorch device to burn off the crud ahead of the train, but it had a number of problems and never went anywhere. The lasers were an evolution of this, but they have their own issues.
Balloon retrieval might be a problem that would have to be solved while keeping operation costs low.

I knew some friends over at Loon and one of their challenges was it wasn’t highly deterministic where the balloon would land at the end of life, and they had a rescue team with speedboats, helicopters and land rovers to go recover balloons. They could pick a big enough radius and have it land somewhere within that to avoid cities, and human settlements.

Also, Alphabet burned considerable money on this for 9 years before shutting down. Not sure if it’ll come back, at least not by Alphabet.
Seems like Elon cashed out quite nicely, and meanwhile PayPal grew quite aggressively.

So maybe it was more about Elon.
1. Recruiters are expensive.
2. It's hard to find a recruiter who doesn't increase your incoming resume volume without a corresponding increase on quality or fit. As far as I can tell recruitment has settled into a stable equilibrium of being a volume game.

I love sqlite3. In python: https://docs.python.org/3/library/persistence.html

I have of course pickle -> open()

But eventually my projects grow large enough that sqlite3 becomes the database. I have never needed to go beyond sqlite3 in my projects. It does everything I ever need it to do.
this seems basic to me
Perhaps. But it's his (or his investors) 40 billion to burn. I'd hope that spending that much money makes you think twice about being a petty ass.
Ah yes, Dave Chappelle, the cancelled comedian who recently got paid $24M to produce a 1-hour set for the biggest streaming network.
It seems weird to say that Musk did those things. Surely the army of engineers, the public subsidies, and the cash from his dad's emerald mines helped?
As an engineering manager myself I concur with all the points.

Some of them are difficult though, for example:

“optimize the dual objectives of delivering value to the organization and giving individuals problems that build their skillset, impact, satisfaction, …”

and

“ Managers with excellent execution skills and deep domain knowledge must resist the urge to present solutions to their reports.”

To what extent should one allow suboptimal solutions, failure or allow employees to do things inefficiently with their “favorite tech stack” (in cases where it does not add business value) ?

People working in tech companies may not realize how un-decent a lot of other companies and their management are.
The likely reason for this sort of restriction is having to maintain compatibility with some legacy or third-party system that is too expensive or disruptive to replace.
It’s a joke, yes? Clearly identifiable as such. In bad taste? Probably. Sort of like baldness jokes about women with health conditions?

You’re saying it’s ok for an “algorithm” to slap the comedian off the stage but not Will Smith?

Your definition of “toxic” should be made explicit. I imagine you believe “offensive == toxic” which is naïve.

Not an easy problem, but if you’re a public figure then the rules surrounding satire / humor are different.
I didn't know why people fork repos arbitrarily on their GitHub. I thought they were doing that unnecessarily before cloning or something. So this is the reason?
I totally agree with your points about rage and engagement. What I'm skeptical of is

> If they get rid of the rage bait and toxicity

because AFAICT Elon wants to make speech more open on the platform, and when I hear that I think -> less moderation, which means -> more opportunity for rage posting, which doesn't really add up in my brain.
> Because of that, I'm going to ask you, dear reader, to please respect Drew's wishes and not share this post in any public space. This page is "unlisted" and won't appear on the frontpage, and I only intend to share this with those who are already aware of Hare.

Hmm.
It's a little specialist, and doesn't have Linux server/host functionality (and IIRC Mac is still in beta), but if you want to remotely connect to a Windows 10+ computer - Parsec works really well. I've used it at work to share access to a beefy desktop for running CAD (SolidWorks) and multimedia (mostly Adobe Premiere Pro/CC) software, without having to be at the computer - we use it from the local network, and from across the country, with fairly satisfying performance.
There's a lot of crab mentality in tech.
This looks like an excellent application for 'Dry Ice Blasting', which is essentially 'sandblasting' done with a different medium. For cleaning fouled surfaces and/or for preparing new surfaces for bonding or coating, there is a surprisingly large range of related technologies and materials, everything from near-diamond to soft like walnut shells. Dry Ice offers great advantages of leaving no solid residue itself, and being relatively mild on the underlying surfaces, while also having the extra boost of wedging slightly under the grime as a solid and then vigorously expanding, providing extra lifting action.

Applying this to rail seems like a great idea, since the weight and mass of the apparatus is not really a problem in that situation.

Cool stuff!
The fortune 500 one I qualified (as I mentioned to a couple other people who objected to this.) I understand why it's disconcerting, but in my position (small startup, small team, need to not waste 3-6 months on a bad hire) I need to increase my chances for a successful hire. Lots of bigcorp devs are used to having everything laid out for them. Early stage startups are unlikely to give the same structure.

Passion for tech - you are right that this is hard to boil down to a formula. I'm looking for people who exhibit signals like (for example) they read HN, have interests in learning languages beyond the ones they're comfortable in, have maybe messed around a little with hardware, were in technology clubs in high school or college, learned programming as a kid, have a hobby project, etc. It's not so much about the hours that people will put in, but rather their engagement / pride-in-work / creativity / ability to propose alternate-solutions, all of which are good things to have, and are easy to qualify for with "enjoys technology."
I don’t think it’s a conversation as in a dialogue, it’s rather a monologue. But since you “hear” the monologue, you think about what you hear, and that thinking doesn’t necessarily become part of the monologue (not immediately and directly), so the thinking and the monologue tend to bounce of each other to some degree.
That is just enabling some pretty bad actors in my opinion who don't even care about minorities. People that do care tend to be very flexible about language use.

Not being tolerant here is a pretty clear sign of close mindedness in reality or just a hint of lacking life experience.
When there's excess of it heating up the planet, it's a pollutant.
How many “conservatives” would be in favor of giving police less power, stopping the war on drugs, legalizing weed, letting individual schools decide what to teach, letting individual cities decide not to allow religious institutions in areas zoned for residential properties (they increase traffic), getting rid of tax exemptions for religious institutions, etc?

Those are all “Libertarian stances”.

I lost the point I'm making but the idea is that human ideas take shape from what can be perceived. Humans copy what is effective in nature, so yeah complex life also creates technology with humans as the conduit. We are Gods apparently, or demi-gods if you'd like to be more humble
That you consider this article to be man bashing is telling.

I read it more as asshole/jerk/perv bashing. In the author's experience, those are primarily men, and in my own experience I would agree with that observation. Intent counts for a lot less than perception. It's narcissistic and toxic to expect everyone around you to understand your motivations without context; for example, the men she perceives as creepy who follow her professional _and_ personal social media accounts and spending time liking posts and pictures for longer than the first 10 minutes. At least some (or maybe most) of them are not being intentionally creepy. But it's a fair shot that a good number of them are (especially those who look up her personal accounts as well).

Our society spends a lot of time objectifying people, and if you think it's bashing when someone calls it out, you're probably part of the problem.
how do you handle things like encryption and access permissions?

The only thing I have against using SQLite in production (for my needs) is the lack of at rest encryption and row level permissions by user.
What makes solid CO2 better for the purpose than liquid nitrogen or just the high-pressure air or maybe air mixed with super-chilled water? I'm sure the folks involved have thought about alternatives, but I'm most curious what properties solid CO2 has that make it especially good.
In what way do you believe the powerful people you've cited have negatively effected you personally (i.e. restricted your freedom, etc.)?

I personally can't come up with anything (at least nothing negative). If anything, many of them have made the world much better (on balance). Yes, even the Saudis. Oil is the lifeblood of the modern world. Yes, we need to rapidly transition to renewable energy. But oil is still king.

> But the power of Elon (and Zuck, and the other modern mega-billionaires) is effectively unstoppable.

This is a very significant exaggeration. Just go look at what Xi has done to the tech titans in China if you doubt it. Jack Ma was placed under house arrest until he bent the knee. Violence and the legal monopoly thereof >> everything other form of power.
It's not a problem, he's just going to lie about ever having a second job and only report his first job. That's how this works, you have a primary job which is your "real job", and others which feed you more paychecks until they realize you're underperforming and you get fired.

FWIW I'm not doing this, I'm just on the /r/overemployed subreddit.
If you watch the video in the article, they briefly mention it - Basically, they're using captured CO2 that would have been released anyways, from industries like brewing.

And they mention it's better than the sand approach since they're not leaving a contaminate around afterwards, since the CO2 will just sublimate back into gas, both which improves the cleaning and makes it more consistent when done repeatedly.

The movie is still borderline sales-pitch, so I'd take it with a grain of salt, but it adds some detail.

> I have a hot take on this topic: Your feed says more about you than Twitter in general. If you see toxic Tweets, that's because you follow people who post toxic Tweets or engage with toxic Tweets. Don't follow these people.

But a major source of toxic tweets is buying up all of Twitter.

$420 funding secured, "Thailand guy is a Pedo", constant attention-seeking, COVID19-conspiracy theories, etc. etc. Elon Musk's Twitter Account is one of the worst.

To see that this man is about to become the owner of Twitter really doesn't strike much confidence in me.

I've had one (just check, no biopsy) and while it was quite uncomfortable in a weird non-specific way at certain points, it didn't hurt.

It wouldn't have occurred to me at all to ask them to put me under if there's a next time. And according to my SO, I'm rather pain intolerant.

If you're doing a biopsy I can imagine it's something else.
Yes. If that happens, you shouldn't give that website your business.
You found a comment from almost two months ago which you wanted to reply to, but can’t, since the thread has long been closed. So your solution was to track down the person who wrote that comment, find a recent comment they wrote about an unrelated topic, and try to resurrect the now-dead flamewar in an unrelated thread?

Indiscriminate hatred towards people you don’t even know, purely on the basis of what country they were born in, qualifies as bigotry. You can hold the opinion that it’s justified in this particular instance, but it is still bigotry.
