The large ones were not independent in anything but the name long before being taken over by state. All the Oligarchs or larger businesses had to cooperate. Ukrainian Maidan was 2014. And it happened only after years of Russia trying to buy and influence Ukrainian politics. It was Orange revolution that happened in 2004. Putin became acting president in 1999 - that gives us like 5 years before 2004.

Also, afaik, journalists writing against Putin were attacked (arrests, taking over of business) right as he got into power. The changes leading to contemporary ideology, effective rehabilitation of Stalin, the state murders were happening right away.

The events around Russia apartment building, the ones suspect of being done by FSB and Chechnya war were in 1999.

>You can make gas with electricity [0]

And it is still extremely inefficient to my knowledge with some roadblocks towards improvement that are hard to overcome. Hydropump storage doesn't seem grand from an intuitive perspective but probably ends up doing better.

>Here in the states nuclear is now about 3x as expensive as wind/solar

Now spread that costs over a proper lifetime, calculate in the costs of storage and/or variable demand backup and the adjusted distribution infrastructure and don't ban things like fuel reuse technology to reduce waste at the behest of fossil fuel industry and it looks a lot better.

>but summer peaks can be twice winter lows

Is this in Arizona and the likes? I feel like America really need to get it's head out of it's ass and dis-incentivise living in deserts with water problems to boot as well as some other common sense things. The CO2 output per capita being twice that of the EU and a bunch of other countries and that after a whole lot of improvement on the US front makes it clear this is not just a developed world thing but rather that some core issues are not being looked at.

>whereas gas is by far the cheapest option for handling variable demand.

And a fossil fuel with a climate change impact much much higher than most people expect.

Plus the hobby is easily one of the best ways to write fiction I've found. Especially when one's typical writing session can sometimes end up producing one big metaphor for where the author's life is at, it's great to be able to produce something that's both true to a favorite genre and also really unique and open-ended.

Finally, working with world-building tools in this way also helps you create a well-organized framework that supports hundreds of novels without a problem, if that's what you want.

This is similar to the feeling I get when I travel from London to Manchester.

While I know London isn't everyone's cup of tea, it has a ton of parks, trees and nature compared to many other cities, and it's usually quick to dip away from the bustle into a relatively quiet oasis. You're rarely more than a 5 minute walk away from a small park.
seems unlikely, because then we should never have any ages that were stagnant or had downfalls of their dominant civilizations as they needed the ideas that would prevent these problems from occurring but evidently did not receive them.
they sometimes do be like Australian Shepard though, especially when I bring ‘‘em to parks ..

I agree, though do keep in mind that a complex framework like Spring doesn’t play in the same league as a typical go microservice in terms of what kind of application is getting written in them.

But I really hope that the new, record-based, minimal boilerplate java style gets hyped up more and more, we really should prefer compile time metaprogramming instead of reflection-based solutions. (E.g. mapstruct is really cool!)
It can't happen unless software buyers were ready to pay for more development time. That abstraction layer and total-ass quality is frequently the only way to meet the deadline and budget.

If people were ready to pay some upfront costs, it would be possible to lower long-term costs, but that's CAPEX vs OPEX decision that is not in the hands of the software developers.

Well, that's because goroutines and channels are something, that's first class in go and has a special syntax.

While in Java, it tries to mostly keep the existing Java syntax.

I guess people that write Java are used to a lot of "lasagna" all-is-object boilerplate and ignore it. The same way go people are used to ignore the `err != nil` lines everywhere.
Bitcoin is the digital equivalent of gold. (As long as people continue to use it as such).

Advanced cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Algorand are more suitable for commerce.

The basic concept of cryptocurrency, which sadly is generally missed because many people have turned it into a get-rich-scheme like everything else, is to *use math and computer science to reduce or eliminate cheating in databases that record monetary balances*. The techniques are far superior to the legacy (secret) databases used by banks.

The land argument against solar is economically foolish. In most places, the value off land is a tiny fraction of the cost of the solar installation. We have lots and lots of land, far more than is needed to power global industrial society with solar energy, and that land is very cheap.

If the cost of land ever did become a global constraint on solar energy, it would be because the other parts of solar had become incredibly cheap. At that point, solar would already have consigned all other energy sources to oblivion.

The value produced per hectare per year from a PV field is much greater than many other current uses of land, such as raising lifestock, growing grain, or commercial forestry. If solar is deemed impractical because of land usage, so should those other uses.

I don't think I'm a "Russian shill", but honestly I was sceptical about suggestions that Russia would launch a wholesale invasion of Ukraine until it actually happened. I thought Putin was just bluffing and sabre-rattling. Given how the war has been going for Russia, I suspect Putin now wishes that people like me had been right.

Many early programming languages were even more limited than ASCII itself, for the sake of portability. In Algol itself the operators and keywords were defined as abstract representations, with multiple possible ways of serializing those to computer-encoded text.

You can also determine, by optimization, what the most cost effective energy system would look like. If you do this you will discover that nuclear may not have a place in it.

Of course you can set up a market system where nuclear is favored, but that would be a market system that would likely not be delivering the lowest overall cost solution to the optimization problem.

You might want to return NSNull instead of nil (easy to do: in fact I extracted this from an object in which the nil-return value is configurable but simplified it for the post), in which case it becomes map-safe because NSNull->NSNull on map.

I use this pattern because then I can trust _everything_ in a collection. If an object, even an object that represents emptiness, receives a message, it will handle it and do something, even where that something represents emptiness.
I understand that SQLite can store datetime in REAL type no problems, just on import one needs to convert the date strings properly. Of course, stuffing strings verbatim may work too, but that's about the robustness of the load process or the ETL pipeline.
Maybe you should try the reverse of listening to audiobooks/podcasts. Use your phone as a voice recorder, and just talk about anything that’s going through your mind. Basically an audio brain dump.

I started biking to work (only 3 miles) and after a year I switched to walking because I found biking wasn't giving me enough time to separate "home" from "work". Even during Covid, my wife would kick me out of the house for thirty minutes after work so I could decompress. The difference between "coming down stairs" and "coming home from work" were night and day.

I would argue that pretty much all of the recent (past 5 years) advances in work on zkproofs is researched/funded/applied by cryptocurrency community. and imo this is the most important work in cryptography that is happening, actually developing secure general computation. You might not like cryptocurrencies but to dismiss this is silly.

The "crypto means cryptography" motto also trivializes all the prior work, cryptography and ideas of digital tokens/currencies have been tied together for decades.

Wow that first one is really surprising for it's proficient cinematic vocabulary. The shots are great juxtaposed against this very rudimentary 3D tool. Neat!
Sort of, I think?

`type 'a t = Cons of 'a * 'a t | Tail` is defining a type with a constructor `Cons` with two arguments and a constructor `Tail` with zero argument. You write values of type `'a t` as `Cons (a, b)` and `Tail`.

`type 'a u = (::) of 'a * 'a u | []` is defining a type with a constructor `(::)` with two arguments and a constructor `[]` with zero argument. You build values of type `'a u` as `(::) (a, b)` and `[]`.

The rest comes from the special syntax support in OCaml for the `(::)` and `[]` names. Namely, `a :: b` is parsed as `(::) (a, b)`, and `[a; b; ...; z]` is parsed as `a :: b :: ... :: z :: []`, and hence as `(::) (a, (::) (b, (::) (..., (::) (z, []))))`.

I developed and maintained Java software professionally for over 20 years, since 1.0, but now I work in Go. There is no way I’d willingly go back to Java, and these examples really underscore some of the reasons.

I agree with the OP that this situation is unprecedented. However, you're correct that this wasn't totally out of the blue. There were concerns about this that started emerging last summer, and then escalated again in the fall. This was related to the water crisis in Crimea as well as falling support for Putin in Russia.

Because a 20% drop in efficiency is substantial, and because the alternative to diesel generators isn’t just CCGT. You could also use solar, wind, nuclear, tidal etc etc

Carbon output of a diesel generator is horrific compared to just about any form of large scale energy production.

> One of those definitional things; it'll never be a truly unregulated wild west market, but then what is?

Well, I didn't say "unregulated". You can have regulation that doesn't create huge barriers to entry.

What would be a free market today? Something with very low barriers to entry (capital, expertise, legal requirements) and with lots of competition.

For example real estate agents in some developing countries. They frequently have only a high school degree (if that), they don't really need a ton of money to get started (just some nice clothes and some time), and the legal aspects are mostly covered by notaries, anyway. In many developing countries the real estate market is not consolidated so you have a million independent real estate agents, who frequently don't even have exclusivity for the property they're selling. So you could literally have 10 agents promoting the same property.

I agree, and I'd add: Entertains or protects you and your health. Forcing one's introverted self to be extroverted is associated with psychological risk. Ethics courses in the field of personality type usually cover this emphatically, with regard to personality discovery. Just like in gaming, if you have high INT and low CHA for example, it's important to be careful with high CHA tasks and know your archetype.

Extroverted activities can be helpful at times but will naturally cause introverts stress; growth stress sure but it's still stress. It's silly to treat such a person as if they are broken, when they may be doing their best work by themselves. There are other ways of looking at such a situation that are more helpful.

And overlaying a simple "get out more" model on them is ethically questionable to say the least...

Ask HN: Are there any tech billionaires who just dropped out?
It seems like most people who got a billion (or even just high multi-million) dollar windfall from an acquisition (like Eduardo Saverin, Peter Thiel, etc.) are becoming "angel investors" and stay active in tech or related endeavours.

But are there any similarly rich guys who just said "f*k it all" after cashing out and are now living off their cash (which should last them and a couple of future generations of offspring)?
And they were very interested in doing so before that. Communist parties across the world received a lot of their funding from the USSR.
>> Bitcoin is a digital currency that has no intrinsic value

> There is no such thing as "intrinsic value". The value gets assigned by people and market participants.

I'll leave out the discussion of the value of a company and fundamental analysis as off-topic here. Let's focus on currencies instead. The value of a currency is not its exchange rate. Just because Bitcoin is worth 38910.69 USD, does not mean it's more valuable as a currency than a dollar. 1 GBP being worth 1.25 USD doesn't push people to use GBP in place of USD. The value of a currency stems from two factors: liquidity and stability. The reason for the dominance of USD in international trade is the stability people around the world expect from it, compared to other currencies, as well as its liquidity (almost everyone accepts dollars, sometimes even more eagerly than their local currency). Bitcoin fails on both fronts. There are still loads of things I can't buy with Bitcoin (admittedly this aspect is changing). Stability^W volatility of Bitcoin is a meme since its inception. A currency whose value changes so dynamically is a shitty currency. It is more similar to a gambling game than to a currency (and has similar psychological effects on the players). Notice that noone ever "invests in a currency" (other than as a shorthand for investing in something that's sold in that currency), that would be nonsensical, given that the whole point of a currency is so that its value changes as little as possible. So... I guess saying that "Bitcoin is a digital currency that has no intrinsic value" is wrong mainly due to the first part of this sentence. Instead I'd say: Bitcoin is not a currency, but a speculative financial asset.
