When I was younger, one of the parents in the neighborhood was a bread delivery driver. I can still remember her ranting about an incident one snowy winter day. She couldn't drive as fast as all the other trucks on the highway and they were complaining to her over the radio. Her response was "I have no traction, I'm hauling a load of bread!"

A truck carrying bread is pretty close to the weight of an empty truck. The fuel efficiency of this truck is better than a truck hauling a load of flour. But... my guess is that per kilogram of cargo, hauling flour is much more fuel efficient than hauling bread and therefore it is better for the environment to haul flour around and then bake the bread as close to the source of consumption as possible.

If we end cryptos today, in the grand scheme of things, we are going to see no real difference proportional to the global energy consumption of everything else as, while enormous quantity wise, consumption is still below 0.5% or so (so really not that big of a deal percentage wise). How did the predictions and articles from a few years ago on how Bitcoin was going to take, by 2020, the global energy share of consumption pan out? Obviously they were wrong, as consumption of everything else grew as fast or faster than it.

The drama against cryptos and their energy consumption is unproductive and is imho going to yield no change (in the grand scheme of things), as the field can't really be tamed the same way other industries can due to its decentralized approach of doing things. Instead of wasting time with this approach, we should be pushing for and incentivizing cheap green energy sources, as that is where the real issue comes for every industry.

As long as the source is green, which it already is fo a huge chunk of the energy behind cryptos, and as long as it is not messing with the availability for the demand in the grid for other industries/consumers, then who cares how much it consumes?

I think it's very hard to achieve for the same reason why almost no black and white filter can reproduce a photo taken with an actual black and white film - you can get really close but something is always missing. It's not enough to apply a GB-like filter to a modern smartphone photo - you'd need to take into account the unique limitations of the GB camera and somehow reproduce them.

When you put it this way, it sounds like you are referring to plain deception, and not actual game-theoretic bluffing.

Bluffing is about making non-optimal choices for the express purpose of making it more expensive for someone else to make optimal choices. If someone knows you're engaging in bluffing, that's fine, because by bluffing you're still forcing them onto non-optimal lines.

On the other hand, you would prefer people not to know that you're engaging in deception.

The train ride is less of an exploration, more a viewport into, a meditation on what is happening outside the window.

I've done the road trip - a slow meandering journey spanning tens of thousands of miles across the United States and Canada across many months. It's wonderful, but it's also fully engaged while being very hard on the body to drive so much. The engagement is obviously the point, but it's a particular way of travel.

I've also done the Zephyr in both directions, lakeshore limited, etc. on sleeper trains. It's very relaxing, but you also don't get to actually interact much with what is going on outside. But that's not such a bad thing at times. Sometimes it's exactly what you're looking for.
This is correct, so it's a good thing there is an enormous amount of data about the lives of East and West Germans which can be used to control for those differences as well.

A lot of people that don't drink coffee have heart issues. Even ones that don't know they have those kinds of issues don't drink coffee because it makes them feel bad. It's typically the heart doing uncomfortable things for them.

And since they already have heart issues - ding ding ding. Correlation. It's not that coffee is making people healthier, it's just a substance that is addictive that people that don't have heart issues drink.

To be fair, most species of fish evolved independently, and the term 'fish' has zero scientific category or phylum.

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish ---

In earlier times, even biologists did not make a distinction – sixteenth century natural historians classified also seals, whales, amphibians, crocodiles, even hippopotamuses, as well as a host of aquatic invertebrates, as fish.

Edit: to put things into perspective, a salmon is more closely related to a camel than it is to a hagfish.

> people can come together and basically "solve" the game they play

There is a very fine line between "providing resources" and ruining a game for me. WoW isn't a lot of fun for me anymore (I haven't played even many years now) because of exactly the reason you list. It felt like the only "right way" to play the game or the only way to be competitive was to find and learn a specific build/play style. That sucks all the fun out of the game for me.

I've run into this with Factorio as well. When I first played it I didn't look up much info at all and I had a blast. On later play-throughs I got deep into online blueprints or "best practices" and in very little time the game lost it's appeal for me. I'm not talking about belt balancer books but malls, research factories, and the like. When I realized why I wasn't having fun I vowed to only use the most basic online blueprints and that has helped a lot.

It's a hard path to walk between "This game is inscrutable and I need help!" and "Well now I'm just a glorified computer following a detailed walkthrough, not playing a game". I have to stop myself from meta-gaming too much or it ruins the game for me (though it's a useful tool to use to quit a game that I'm too deep into).

> In the case of arithmetic, strong typing is kind of nice, because math is different dependent on what types you are using. 3/2 = 1 for integers, 1.5 for floats, etc... You really don't want to mix those up in mission critical sections of code.

While I agree that you don't want to mix up actual division and floor division, I also rather strongly prefer “/” to be actual division, not floor division, irrespective of the operands. int/int -> rational is the most correct behavior. Scheme’s numeric tower is the poster child for getting this right (not just for division but for things involving numbers generally, including decimal literals specifying exact numbers and not approximate binary floats by default.)

If I want an operation that is not actual division, that that is what is happening should be visually distinct in code.

> you could take the train to East Glacier or West Glacier

Be careful with this idea; East Glacier train station is not actually in the park, and services at that station are limited (West Glacier even more so). It's possible to rent a car at East Glacier, but I expect it would be expensive. You can walk from the train station to a hotel, then be based out of there, but you will be dependent on the shuttle and bus services to explore the park. Some good details about the current situation in this thread; note that services have changed a lot around COVID, and any information from pre-2019 should be considered as out of date, and not reliable:

>As a manager, if you see one of your directs singeling out one of his emoloyees, it is your job to find out why

You are just saying that it is the job of the super-manager to find out why without answering how the job is supposed to be carried out. The manager says he is acting against the employee because of their lack of performance or insubordination. The employee says the manager is discriminating against them based on caste. You're the super-manager, what do you do?

> Either way, Californians should stop pretending water is cheap, plentiful or sourced in a sustainable way. It simply isn't.

We literally live next to an ocean - water can be cheap, plentiful and sourced sustainably via desalination. Desalination has generally been prohibitively expensive, however that doesn't need to be the case, considering humans have already figured out how to generate clean energy.
> If you compare overwatch and say DotA. The one is a 1st person shooter the other a RTS engine. Yet conceptually they're identical. ~5 a side lane push mechanics with two tanks, two dps and a healer with each having unique but complementary abilities to emphasize teamwork and coordination.

Conceptually identical is a pretty strong claim there. Overwatch has no concept or equivalent to the various RPG-style mechanics in MOBAs (e.g farming, items, XP, shops) while DOTA2 only has a single match type (i.e. no Assault vs Push vs etc) and significantly less mechanically demanding gameplay (barring a few micro-intensive characters like Meepo or Brood). Hell, I'm not sure if I'd claim OW even has lanes instead of flank routes (compare an Overwatch lane to a CS lane) and the majority of DOTA supports aren't even healers (maybe 5ish?)

I feel like we often do this with video games, comparing aspects that are very low level to the game and are often just a part of being interactive pieces of media. Would chess to checkers and be conceptually identical? They're both board games and involve the same base mechanics (move pieces across the board, capture enemy pieces). And if they are, would that make one of them a worse game? Should we have not made checkers since we already had chess?

I took the Southwest Chief from Chicago to Los Angeles a few years ago. I went coach and it was about the same price as an airline ticket, maybe $10-$20 less. The Southwest Chief was nice, but the train to Chicago was noisy and dirty.

The sleeper car would have been about triple what we paid for the two coach tickets. It wasn't bad sleeping in the coach seats, though I am sure the sleeper car would have been fun. We bought our own food and ate on the train. We took a 2 day stop to visit Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon before continuing on to LA.

It's worth doing. I enjoyed the ride and got paid for it too because I was able to work while aboard the train.

Outing a co-worker is pretty mean. And asking all kinda of private background questions in order to judge someone's social standing and treat them accordingly is intrusive and bigotted. As usual, racists are more often than not mean bigots.

It is somewhat different if you grew up in the caste system, and the discriminatory behaviour was just ingrained. If you start falling back to that based on, e.g., surname it's hard to avoid. Actively seeking information you can use to treat people like shit is a different level all together!
> But if a loophole is needed to protect the bees then it's probably a good idea.

If the legislature did a bad job drafting the law, the courts shouldn't just say "well, bees are important". Reject it and make the legislature pass a better law if they want to protect bees. Otherwise it's not rule of law, it's rule of courts.
This is quickly becoming outdated. Fast-charging times of about 15 minutes are possible in the US with currently existing infrastructure and vehicles, and this speed is likely to keep improving as the tech gets better. And for the typical daily driving needs of most people, plugging in to charge overnight is sufficient, so you only need to worry about charging times in rare occurrences, such as when taking a road trip.

This is so great.

How hard would/will it be to make the nodes draggable?

Edit: maybe it already does this but it is hard to interact with on the phone.

Edit2: can’t move them on iPad either. Maybe a use case for long press? Double-tap? Two finger select?

Edit3: Is Svelte in general under-developed when it comes to handling touch events? I can’t find a good touch example with draggable components.
I have played others, yes.

Architecturally, OB-6 and Prophet 6 are very similar as they share a lot of the same circuitry. They are both great synths, and I am sure I'd love a prophet 6 if I had one.

But I always perk up when I hear the Oberheim sound, more so than the prophet sound, and I do like very much the state-variable filter, which is not found in the P6. I enjoy making pad sounds with a notch filter, and be able to modulate it's shape towards a LP and a HP filters.

Compared to the Virus, the OB-6 sounds more alive when played with a keyboard. It's nuanced when played like this, sometimes like an old piano, where the Virus sounds equally full but very precise, which is great when sequenced and you want a bassline that sounds pristine, for example. I find the Digitone a bit in-between, as you can get pretty creative with the FM algos, and it also sounds very hi-fi.
If you’re a Dalit, you’d know. As I mention in the post, membership to a caste is granted by birth. If both your parents are Dalit, you’re a Dalit too.

How do others know: it’s not obvious. Dalits either change their last name to something common enough to not have any caste indicator. They’d avoid any discussion on caste. So effectively, they hide but there are some who don’t and keep their last name. Still, not every other Indian could tell, but a more caste conscious Indian who belongs to the same region can tell. On top of it, it’s common among Indians to just plainly ask other what their caste is.
I think they are dealing with the inherited culture of Craigslist. Craigslist was such a clusterfuck for so many years, and had such a monopoly, that it has essentially defined what it is to do individual-to-individual noncommercial online commerce. The low balling and the attitude of some posters stems from there, because everyone thinks “that’s just how you are supposed to act when you sell something online.”

For every seller doing things the old way, there’s a handful of people doing things the cordial and respectful way, putting an effort into it. It’s getting better. You do have to learn how to read the page, but I don’t see how they could fix that.
Is this site related to Knowledge Project / Farnam Street (fs.blog), a competitor, or just a ripoff???
