Not true in California due to the state water project. Water is captured in NorCal and shipped to SoCal for agriculture. Central Valley farmers directly reduce the water for SV suburbs. The only river they haven't tapped is the Klamath.
Hum... Ok, just standardize those names so we can have tooling support, and make them as fewer as possible so they are easy to remember.

Honestly, the article has a very expensive proposition and a completely unsatisfying reasoning. If you want to add some explanation, well, add it after the tag. The tag is exactly that, a tag, not some part of your comment.
compared to the Fairlight CMI, it was a poor man's machine
Several years ago I was in exactly the same boat. I've since done some of the business stuff.

Honestly if none of you has any interest in it, I would step back and ask what is it about starting a company that is appealing to you all? If the main appeal is working on whatever you want, this is a bad direction. I feel more constrained with what I work on now then I ever did before. Finding a position at a big company, is in my opinion the best way to go if what you want is to work on preferred projects. Obviously you would still have a boss, but you can find positions where the boss and the company are behind you, such as skunk works projects. Working for a company of your own, your hands are very tied to building what your clients need, or what makes the most business sense. Most of the time this is not what I want to work on.

If what appeals to you is being your own boss, that is not reporting to a person, then this is a decent path. However being part of a team will negate much of that.

I guess my best advice, would be to find someone like me (an engineer who is somewhat interested in or otherwise doesn't mind the business aspects) and make them a part of your team.

FWIW: I will literally not use a laptop without it. It does have a learning curve, but after you've gone through it, watching people use trackpads is pa-a-ainful. Like being a touch typist and watching somebody finger peck while staring at the keyboard at 20WPM - you just want to take over and get it done :D . Yes, trackpad has a minimal learning curve, but it plateaus so early.

Especially in small format computers - it actually really bothers me that we are sacrificing keyboard quality, size, and standardized layout, for this gigantic yet inefficient ever-growing trackpad (and thus killing the home/end/pgup/pgdwn section, arrows, functional row, etc), when the nub has minimal foot print and would allow full keyboard and practical design even on smallest laptops.

But it's all about different approaches. If able, I will always prefer an ergonomic keyboard, ergonomic mouse, large mousepad, and a couple of large monitors when working. My wife on the other hand will happily use 13" laptop with trackpad in awful position on the couch for hours! We have different priorities and preferences and will never persuade each other :->
Works great until your crops get covered in PFAS and you have to shut down the farm.
Plenty. Early days, from a GM perspective my mindset was the risk of death had to be genuine and meant victories we're more to enjoy.
Over the years I've relaxed a lot away from that. Its not often nowadays that players die. I don't run published adventures, and don't always keep things within the appropriate difficulty range. However i will always give opportunities to withdraw or escape if its something a little too tough.
Some systems are a lot more flexible on what each party can handle but things like PF2E the math behind the system is strong and you can easily gauge what they can't handle.
Not much, most of that land literally has no use besides animal grazing.
Even then, the things software developers believe about their own profession should be taken with a grain of salt.
> Apple Pay is a pain compared to Google Pay

interesting. can someone expand on this?
very little right now, this study is a pebble needed in the mountain of evidence required. Maybe in 2055 our scientific tools will be more advanced/sensitive to measure this stuff.
I'm a bit puzzled by the methodology. I didn't notice any mention in the paper if the exposed EMF was meant to be similar to a surface-laid cable, or one that is buried.

In any case, it is certainly the case that subsea power cables for offshore wind farms are buried (up to meters deep) or otherwise overlaid by rock or other materials to protect them from damage, scour, anchor strikes, etc.
The skeptic in me thinks that long lived, upgradable, serviceable, resellable laptops would never have survived long anyways. It’s far more profitable to sell new machines to people and businesses after 3 years. Those long lived tank laptops were actually just too good.
I have been to many of these events and most of the people are worthless at best and predators that will destroy you at worst. If you want to build something, you're not going to do it at a conference. Get into your garage or room and get to work.
They also still use 4 RAM slots and an MXM slot for the graphics card on their ZBook workstations. Sadly the CPU is soldered and availability of MXM cards seems to be extremely limited nowadays.
The article is clearly to break our tools and search capacity. If you want to add categorization, do add, instead of replacing, like the GP does.
Same. I struggle to understand how some engineers don’t like to code. It’s definitely my favorite part of the development process.
I don't think the numbers you've selected are germane to the conversation. The point of the discussion is how much land substitution there is between animal feed and human feed. The USDA said that in 2013 48% of the US corn crop was used for animal feed, which translates to unbelievably vast acreage. Your numbers indicate that the corn calories are not 100% of the calories consumed by animals.

> The spectrum was fun to learn to program on in a way eg the C64 wasn't.

But again you're pitting the Spectrum against the C64 and leaving out the CPC, which had an even more capable and accessible BASIC.

I can understand the appeal of the Spectrum in its first couple of years, but I'm not sure why the UK market never shifted towards Amstrad vs C64 once the clearly superior (and also British) CPC was introduced in 1984. It did shift to the vastly more expensive Amiga later on after all.
The guy I learned to speedcube from was so good that we would secretly flip a corner or edge on his cube, challenge him to a race, and he would solve it to the point where only one piece was flipped, curse at us, fix it himself, and still beat us all by at least 10 seconds.
It seems like their proposed solution is decentralized blockchain identities which in theory should be impossible to revoke. I don't know what that would look like in practice, but if every web service needs to support it then I doubt it will ever happen.
I realize you didn’t talk explicitely of catholicism but at least in catholicism there is a strong control of sex: priests make vows of celibacy, sex is seen only as a means for reproduction, and there is literature on using exercise (if not worse) to put off sex. Lots of practices of christianity have masoquism undertones (original sin, some rituals). Of course this does not mean everyday christians share this interpretation, but historically I believe it correct to say the Catholic church is not pro-sex.
Not to be confused with Concerned Ape, the developer of the farming game Stardew Valley.
> The problem it hopes to solve is we don't trust Google or Facebook. I have this problem as well. I trust them not to fuck me. Mostly because I trust them not to notice me at all. But I don't trust them to live forever. I'm some bacteria in the gut of a whale. What will I do when the plankton stop flowing?

My fear is actually the opposite here. I don't think Google will cease to exist overnight, or something without a ton of warning signs that others using them will have to adapt to. But being squashed like a fly because of some malfunctioning ML algorithm with no recourse? That makes it to HN a few times a month, so I have to assume happens more frequently once you count people without the following to independently draw attention to it.
It's funny you mention this, where I grew up the ST was known exactly as a DAW because of the built-in MIDI ports. But more interestingly the Amigas were super popular as broadcast TV workstations because they had some kind of v-sync functionality built-in that made it possible to overlay graphics on the TV signal. A bunch of local TV stations had tell-tale Amiga graphics in their transitions / credits messages / news overlays. The ST kids always lamented the lack of this because it made it impossible for the ST to be used this way (never mind the worse graphics capabilities).
Another reason for a system like yours is TODO is just another backlog but one that no one tracks and grows stale.

I much prefer either

- TODOs are resolved before merge (your FIXME)

- TODOs are moved (not copied) to the team backlog (maintaining in both places just gets them out of sync)

- TODOs are converted to documentation explaining the approach (e.g. HACKs)
One meteorologist has criticized the drought map used in this article as making things look bad in Washington state when they are not:

https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2022/04/is-large-portion-of-w...

> The essential message is that weather and climate data do not support the claims of extreme or severe drought in eastern Washington this year.

> There is no expectation of water problems over or near the Columbia Basin. The Drought Monitor graphics, which are created subjectively, are sufficiently problematic and deficient that they should not be considered or applied to any serious decision making.

Its a little crunchier. However from the GM perspective its a lot better to run. The math behind the system is real strong, which isn't something you get from RP systems. Its not like PF or 3.5 where there can be massive power differences between characters.

Combat is a lot more interesting, its not just roll d20's burning down the HP of whatever you fighting. I tend to find that 5e battles seem very same-ish.
You are correct that nature will not wait for politics. I hope I am wrong, but the following seem absolutely certain:

-climate change will happen as Hemingway described going broke: gradually and then all at once.
-The Central Valley will fail and there is no plan B. Food prices will be exorbitant and unobtainable for many during the transition.
-Over the next 10-20 years direct sunlight will become unbearable. This will make laboring outdoors difficult, dangerous, and costly work.
-One side effect of the warming upper atmosphere is the alteration of cloud formation conditions.
-Over the next 30 years we will lose cloud cover, in some places almost entirely. This will accelerate the moisture loss in soils and create permanent dust bowl conditions across most of the American West.
-Wildfires will begin to propagate in places that traditionally have had few.
-Access to abundant fresh water and cloud cover will be the largest determinant of land value in 10 years.

> wonder why nobody is talking about how illegal this business is and how EU and other countries are talking nothing about the use of this

The ground is shifting with Israel’s (albeit forced) hesitance to criticise Russia too loudly. Prior to a few weeks ago, maintaining security ties outweighed NSO’s nuisance factor. (In Europe. The U.S. is already fed up with NSO.)

Meltano | Engineering (SRE, SWE) and Others | REMOTE | Full-Time

Meltano's all-remote team and community of thousands are on a mission to enable everyone to realize the full potential of their data. To this end, we are bringing software engineering best practices to data teams in the form of an open source DataOps OS that we envision becoming the foundation of every team's ideal data stack.

Our public company handbook (https://handbook.meltano.com/) has all the details on our values, all-remote work, where we hire, compensation, benefits, and what it's like to work with us in general. We've got a bunch of opening https://boards.greenhouse.io/meltano.

It's not listed yet, but we're also starting to opening up a slot for our first SRE as we're ramping up to build out the managed offering. Meltano the open-source project has some general best practices but this is a brand new, from scratch managed offering. This role would be wonderful for someone who's always wanted to help build out a product from scratch.

Far beyond most undersea cables, and even then the article is concerned not with the largest long-distance high-voltage/high-current transmission lines, but with individual wind turbines.

Power loss scales with the square of current (P=I^2 x R), and copper is already expensive, so they typically use step-up transformers to reduce the current in a wind farm to something on the order of a hundred amps.

I've pushed 40,000 amps for a distance of a couple hundred millimeters, using some giant water-cooled electrodes for a resistance welding application...but there's zero reason to have 14 kA as a distribution line in a wind farm, that's absurd.

Yes, some lobster and crab larvae will probably also exhibit decreased carapace height if they're squished by the wire as it is fed out onto the sea floor...but that's about the same distance as the region in which they'll be affected by magnetic currents.
Israel also uses a lot of desalination: “ Israel now gets 55 percent of its domestic water from desalination, and that has helped to turn one of the world’s driest countries into the unlikeliest of water giants.” [1]

While CA is busy stonewalling desalination project that could cover 1/3 of Orange County needs and would reuse old power station infra. And not much else is planned.

Recycled water isn’t readily available in most of the state for irrigation either. Instead we dump it.

I've been using WAF for years and it is indeed written in Python. For complex configuration+build+deployments you need a scripting language and Python is probably the best language for that purpose. Because if you already know Python you don't need to learn a new language.
The situation is quite different today. The other side is a heavily-armed nuclear power.

Fear from scientists fleeing Hitler led to the creation of the atomic bomb. When Niels Bohr foresaw the coming nuclear arms race and the unwinnability of nuclear war in 1944, fear is what led to Churchill and FDR to dismiss his proposals that the United States share nuclear technology with the Soviet Union. And so we got the nuclear arms race that we were warned about. History shows us that these horrific situations with nuclear brinkmanship are avoidable, but we are too afraid to do the right thing.
I've yet to see a good definition of what constitutes "military grade encryption" vs. regular old encryption. It generally has the opposite effect, for me at least, in the sense that I avoid any product that advertises "military grade <something>".

Edit: I'm not actually looking for definitions of "military grade encryption", thank-you everyone who tried to explain it though. I work in cybersec, and encryption is encryption. It is either compliant with standards or it is not. But "military grade" is pure marketing fluff, hence why I avoid it.
I have a multiplayer browser game I was developing that I didn't even get far enough to start having to worry about accounting, marketing, etc...

I stopped because front-end development makes my eyes glaze over. The back-end is complete. You can theoretically play the game using any program that lets you manually send WebSocket messages. The game mechanics are all implemented.

But damn I hate writing JavaScript and HTML. I got about halfway done with the front-end before the drudgery got to me and I haven't touched the project in well over a year.

Maybe I need more jQuery. I'd been writing the front-end using Vanilla JS. http://vanilla-js.com/

If you aren't ready to do "the boring stuff" yourself (raising capital, selling, hiring, paperwork), you're not ready to start and run a company. I don't mean that in a negative way, I mean it in the sense of you aren't currently equipped to do it successfully.

Based on how you've described things in this post (and in the comments) it doesn't sound like you have experience working at an early stage startup as an employee. I would recommend doing that first because it will let you get experience about what you need to do (and more importantly, what you need to avoid) when starting a company. If you find a good founder, you can observe how they operate and absorb lessons through osmosis. You will also likely get a chance to work with great business development and operations folks, who you can then build your next startup with afterwards.

If you don't want to do that (it's a lot of work and will probably take you 1+ years to do), then your remaining options aren't great. You can try to hire someone to do this work, but you won't find anyone good unless they end up owning most of the company as well as the idea, in which case you're really just working on someone else's idea and someone else's company -- which brings you back to what I just described earlier! Another alternative to that is just that you do all of the work yourself and learn very quickly about what the hard parts and easy parts are about starting a company. But I wouldn't recommend that unless you just want to do it for fun and aren't really serious about being successful.

If you're serious about being successful, I think you need to focus on building the right experience and networks to give you a fighting chance at success.

I like the idea of DREAM. I find that there are lots of things I would like to improve, but not worth it at this time. Or even maybe ever. But it doesn't feel 'standard' either. While I am sure a team could set up custom highlights and the like, but it has seemed better to just use the standard ones that get picked up by most tools.

Is the use of HACKS just to highlight the importance of a comment? I tend to just stick those in a regular comment. Or if extra important NOTE at the beginning. For instance I refactored code the other day forgetting why it was the way it was, it didn't work, and then made a NOTE for it so I don't do it again.
XOFF doesn't discard input; if you pause for too long, things will backlog, which could be a problem if we are reading directly from some program (rather than, say, reading the output of something disposable and disconnected from the source, like tail -f).

When pw isn't updating the display, it's still streaming and discarding the data, which is a big semantic difference. It means that the source of the data will not block, for one thing. But if you need to see all the data or search through it, then pw is the wrong tool, at least by itself. You need to make other arrangements to capture the complete data.
I'm tired of unix interfaces. Really. It's great to learn a few like vim and grep. But every single tool requiring you to remember a bunch of commands is just too much.

Great this tool looks cool. The UI turns me off. Just like almost every Unix UI. It's not about how good the UI is either. It's about the fact that every new tool requires reading MAN pages.

More tools need to be like nano because I simply don't have time to read the MAN for every single thing.
