> Golf courses, anyway, have no legitimate reason to continue being allowed unlimited irrigation.

Because you find them distasteful? It was the duty of California's political class to continue to provide water for its people and industries, and they decided also for reasons of taste to stop doing that in the 1960s. When Ronald Reagan was governor for eight years, very much a sea change from Jerry Brown's father Pat Brown who was governor from 1959-67 and previous governors and legislators (Jerry "Governor Moonbeam" at the time replaced Reagan).

> Dual-use agriculture + solar PV farms should get priority for water. PV can seriously cut evaporation and water loss while also providing power for (eventually) desalination or (immediately) to displace fossil fuel use.

This whole topic is about how desalination is not being allowed to alleviate one part of California's water shortages and we can assume in other locations (who else is going to even try after this debacle?). Solar provides neither baseline or peaking power, so if you want real power from it you've got to add $$$ storage systems. Also not sure how you can capture the sun's light for PVs and provide it to growing plants at the same time; what I was able to dig up searching just now is "use on marginal land" and other half measures.

California is demonstrably not interested in reducing fossil fuel use when it's forced or is forcing all its nuclear plants to shut down. One article I read not long ago credibly claimed a lack of serious power after the last plant shuts down soon may make it generally impossible to lift water to get to the LA region I think it was.

If you chose to deny any of these points, doing the math first will make your case more convincing, if you ignore science and engineering realities, as discussed elsewhere in this subthread you'll hit the brick was of the laws of nature.

How is this related to the topic at all? Our disagreement concerns the ability of humans to produce numbers that look random, our disagreement doesn't concern the ability of a fair die to produce numbers that look random. Of course a fair die is going to produce numbers that look random, that's not related to this discussion at all!
> The question is do you want companies like Apple to exists.

> If the answer is yes

But the answer in the EU is clearly no. The EU doesn't want anti-competitive, unethical and rent-seeking companies to exist.

The idea is that if such anti-competitive companies didn't exist, their niche might be occupied by companies fostering a real competitive environment which would benefit consumers.
> Low values of embodied crop calories are related to production systems for ruminants based on fodder and forage, while large values are usually associated with production systems for non-ruminants fed on crop products.

Cows are ruminants.

> First, we estimated country-wise feed requirements. We calculated feed required per grid cell for each livestock types in ton per year multiplying regional and livestock-wise daily feed requirements (Haberl et al 2007) with the gridded livestock counts.

Honestly, I'm not very interested in their results after reading this. If they're just estimating based on number of livestock x calories required for livestock along with a bucket of crop yields for an area then this is just paper shuffling. You'll have my attention when you get real numbers directly from the farmers themselves rather than just aggregating 3rd hand information over a grid area.

Given I'm a bit younger (currently early 30s), but I have the same experience. I don't speak much with anyone I went to college with. However, in my 3rd year of college, I did an exchange program to Japan for one year. I'm still in contact with a few of the people I met during that year abroad, despite us being more internationally seperated (some live in Europe, others in Asia and some spread across North America).
You put this quite well. I knew I was ADHD long ago, and just went about my life not wanting to change. And I even found a job which wasn't particularly negativley affected by it. But finally I realized how badly it was affecting my relationships with my spouse and child. I was not a reliable partner or parent. And that is what finally made me want to really understand more and try to control it better.

> Now we're experience this from factors changing the environment on a much larger and more aggressive scale, so it will likely be even more devastating the the past.

The peoples impacted by the decades long droughts in the past did not have access to groundwater and in general terms did not have the capacity to build significant dams. This changes the impact story quite significantly.

However, they also didn't practice agriculture on the scale or with the irrigation practices that have become common in the US southwest now, and since it is this that uses 75% of all the water, the more likely change if intense drought continues is the abandonement of the "reclamation" dreams hatched in the 1920s and 1930s after 20-30 of the wettest years in the history of the United States as a nation.
I don't know if I have ADHD, but learning more about it, and other forms of neurodiversity, has recontextualized the first 2/3 of my life. I've usually managed to get by pretty well through life's expectations, but I have had struggles along the way that were really confusing. Places where other people seemed to have no trouble meeting expectations, but I would constantly come up short. I also relate to some of the positive aspects or adaptations that folks describe. I haven't prioritized seeking diagnosis or treatment because I've largely figured out how to get by, to my own satisfaction. Although, I know that I could be more dependable to other people if I did.

I have also suffered a couple periods of major depression, which I agree is horrible in a far less ambiguous way. I can actually identify some very positive outcomes of those episodes. Ways in which struggling my ass off to try to be okay pushed me to achieve. But I'd absolutely throw out the good with the bad, if I could. I wouldn't wish depression on my worst enemy.
I had the (mis)fortune to not be able to afford residence so I lived off campus and made most of my friends/social circle through the shitty fast food job I worked at. Think I went to 1-2 dorm parties, and I felt the otherness from the on-campus dwellers.

However I met lots of artists and bohemians compared to the university demographic (art school on other side of the city) but I definitely feel the hit at this point in my career.

No regrets though, I had a lot of fun, learned a lot and am doing well now. Got to party with well known musicians in the city at that time.

I think I was too much of a sperg for dorm life anyway, much prefer the club scene and house/loft parties.

The whole "grinding" mentality/culture has instilled unhealthy and unrealistic expectations into the minds of the typical boot camp "candidate". It is difficult to compare a 3-6 months boot camp, with consistent working / learning over 3-5 years.

Sure, some students will learn very fast, but on average - there's more to it than just cramming. And the people that manage to "grind" for N months and land a FAANG job are few and far between, not to mention that they're essentially cramming a very, very small portion of the CS curriculum.
> There are only two kinds of product left: the small-scale artisanal extremely pricy product (e.g. farmer's market), and the mass-produced MBA-optimized to death commercial product.

I discovered this phenomenon myself over the past decade, seeing the race to the bottom in automation, while at the same watching artisinal cottage industries sprout in East Austin in response.

Whether it was nitrogenated cold-brew coffee in kegs, handmade denim jeans, handmade cheeses and charcuterie, there was definitely a drive to produce high-quality, handmade items locally, seemingly in response to tasteless, soulless products begat by automation. I figured that is what the future held, two classes of product, one rather expensive and high quality, made by hand, and the other symbolized by a soulless $5 Garden Center plastic chair.

The reason why a market exists for those artisinal handmade products, I reckon, is because people at some level still crave the authenticity evidenced by something made by skilled craftspeople.
To be fair both points of view are valid and easy to agree upon. Apple makes choices for its customers, though, when the EU government makes choices for its citizen. And even if the EU might be wrong, Apple must comply.

Apple couldn't open the NFC payment API & technologies first to make sure the Apple Pay technology image wasn't tarnished by poor and less secure competitive payment solutions on iOS.

But now, they have no excuses to allow competition. Especially if they cannot use the Apple Pay trademarks.
> If eating meat were bad for the environment, all predators who eat exclusively large prey would be extinct.

It's not that eating meat is inherently bad, it's the abomination we created to make it a world wide cheap commodity.

Just like a single car isn't a problem, the problem is the scale and the fact that we built our societies around it as if it was just an inevitable fact of life

> all predators who eat exclusively large prey would be extinct.

Lions don't have literal meat factories, don't treat animals like merchandise and don't use low quality processed meat as a filler for everything. This is such a low quality analogy. Look at that video and tell me it's just what large predators do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWbgZQxd6J4&t=106s

> I'm not going to start eating bugs.

Nobody saying that, I'm 90% vegetarian and I never had a single bug in my life. I'm lifting weight three times a week and rock climbing twice a week with no issues too so here goes the "muh protein/energy" argument. The bug based food and ultra processed vegetarian/vegan options are just a marketing fad imho

Again, eating meat is fine, eating 500gr of low quality meat every single isn't, it's just about scale.

I'm a newbie and a little confused. On one hand there are posts like this that claim exactly-once delivery and distributed locks are impossible.

Don't use Grub or any bootloader if you can avoid it. I haven't used Grub in 10 years. Load Linux directly as an EFI executable via the EFISTUB approach.

You almost certainly only need to run two or three efibootmgr commands to accomplish this. For most people that means only the "Using UEFI directly" section is relevant.

The "triggers" seem to be the difference. The video shows it tailing strace, and only waking up the display and dumping data when it sees the poll() system call in the strace output.

Then they show a fancier example of a specific pattern of recvmsg(11,...) happening a specific amount of lines below poll(). That ends up showing the flow of data to a specific socket.

Or without triggers, it only shows you the latest when you tap the space bar or some other key.
The part I was more surprised by was not the character death. My group has played both 3.5, PF, and 5, and the DM has been more then happy to let us suffer the consequences or poor/stupid choices.

Getting a prescription is only half the battle. In the US, you can't have more than a month supply. Maybe you're lucky and your doctor realizes this so writes you a larger than necessary prescription, but for most vehicles (extended release) it's not an option. Many people horde a backup stash of pills.

This means you have to get your prescription filled within a small window at the end of your previous supply if you want to avoid running out. You also can't have a recurring prescription, but a rare doctor might renew a prescription over the phone. And even then, you have to deal with pharmacies running out last minute, travel impacting your refill schedule, and health insurance coverage for the otherwise ludicrously expensive medication.

A nightmare process that someone with ADHD cannot go through indeed.
Ullage thrusters are used exactly as you described, for tanks that do not have PMDs. For example, the large second or third stage main propellant tanks which need to be lit in zero G. On Saturn V, the ullage motors themselves were solid rocket boosters mounted to the aft end of the stage, and thus did not themselves need PMDs, nor access to the main liquid propellants. On some videos of stage separation, you can see these solids firing from the point of view of the jettisoned stage facing forward. (In fact, I think there were also retrograde solid thrusters at the fore end of the stages to aid in separation.) I suppose you could call ullage solid motors PMDs, too.

For an excellent deep dive into the systems, operations, and functions of the Saturn V, get a copy of "How Apollo Flew to the Moon" by W. David Woods.
The issue I face is that the TV volume suddenly increases when they start playing advertisements on TV. It is probably done to attract user's attention, but it is very annoying esp. for old people.

I wished that there was some way (maybe an app on the phone) that will automatically control volume level at a set limit. The phones already have a way to measure decibals (sound meter app) and also a way to control audio receiver volume (remote control app). If we could combine these 2 in a single app, that will be great.

I can set the volume level in the app. It will monitor sound level say every 3 seconds. If it exceeds say 10%, then automatically reduce the volume. Someone, please build such an app. I will buy it or consider sponsorship/financial help. The loud commercials are driving me crazy. Thank you for listening to my request.

> I wonder from current generation of scientists who will be remembered and what would be a reason behind it.

I don't know how it was in Riemann's, Einstein's or Feynman's times, but today, most of the actual original research in sciences and math (and CS) is done not by the big prof but by the lower tiers, all the way down to PhD students. Those are doing the footwork, write the papers, work long hours with ridiculous pay. Sure you need some visionary at the top, but the actual results are not produced by those.

Everybody is well aware that Elon Musk didn't personally build the first Tesla or the first SpaceX rocket. But big theorems or theories are still named after by the big prof instead of the person who actually did the work.
That's a silly argument because you being alive is "bad for the world".

I'd love to have a tool to pipe into that removes low-entropy content automatically, perhaps with machine learning.

For example, last week I was grepping through some security logs looking for anomalous logins. There were a bunch of other security events in the log file. Eventually my command looked like `cat /var/log/auth.log | grep -v Disconnected | grep -v cron:session | grep -v 'Invalid user'` and so forth until I only had the "interesting" lines left.

Maybe the right approach to this tool would be to put the lines into a tree based on the longest substrings.
I would love a "better Doxygen", or more accurately a nice multi-repo, multi-language documentation generator. It would have almost zero config to get started, but highly customisable. It would support (or be open to easy extension) both "classic" as "modern" and/or niche languages, from Java, C, JS to Python, Go, Nim, Haskell and Crystal. The generated documentation should look modern and exportable to both static HTML for online hosting and to some agnostic format, like JSON for further processing.
I know it's trash advice when you can't find work - but, do you really want to work for some place that thinks you're too academic and too technical? I was always told my resume made me seem like I was too academic, until I found a job working with academics. Non-technical, but the experience is still relevant, I think.
Those are totally valid concerns, and I appreciate the feedback!

> have some actual shots of the bags/coffee rather than a dynamic image. It might not add actual authenticity to the coffee, but it makes it feel less fake.

I completely agree. The images right now are a stop-gap to get running and I plan to take actual photos within the coming week. In part, I wanted to keep a low barrier to entry for starting this and grow it as I get customers, so I started with the cheapest option.

> Add more information about where the coffee is coming from. I see that some descriptions have the farm of origin, but honestly, you could write whatever. How do you know it's sourced ethically? How do you know it comes from those farms? Again, you can't sell guarantees, probably, but how you present yourself makes a big difference.

Great input. I'm planning a site re-design soon that will allow me to have a few tab options within the product to detail more information in a clean way, and I'll plan to have more of that in too. For the purpose of this comment here and now, green beans are hand-selected directly from each farm after traveling there to sample and source.

> Ultimately, for all I know, you are just reselling 5$ coffee for 20$ with a new "hacker" label. If you want to incentivize me to buy, your job is to somehow show me this is not the case.

Aside from the mentions you've made, do you have other suggestions on gaining trust? When I think of other major roasters, most of the time I've heard from them through word of mouth and I don't particularly think twice about fact-checking, but I'm also a sample size of one. Hearing the process of how others choose their coffee to buy would help.
