I used both Shotcut and Davinci Resolve on MacOS. Shotcut provided the perfect amount of middle ground between iMovie and all the power user stuff in Davinci. More importantly, Shotcut worked well on my 2014 Macbook Pro with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Davinci is probably the better software but it ran very slowly once you added a couple of video/audio/photo layers. And the storage it ate up inside project files to store the cache was unbelievable. 30GB+ for for a 10 min 1080p video.
Does that link rick roll everyone, or just me?

EDIT: Turns out was from a cached point in time where it was doing that.

> IQ does not tell determination/hard-working-attitude

this is what everyone said a college degree was for. Or experience. Neither of which matter when a senior dev with 10 years of experience and two kids still has to find an hour or two a day for three months in a row to grind out textbook algorithms to fake problems. Just to switch their fucking job. Thanks to cargo-cult insanity, god help those stuck in miserable jobs that just want out.
If history is a guide, then you are correct. But I believe complexity is fractal (I think we all know this: "turtles all the way down..."), and that you can structure and manage complexity with recursive rules, so that you only see the resolution that you care about, for the areas that you care about, and everything else is a low frequency representation.

Frameworks approximately do this, but for specific domains: they let you organize complexity into well-defined areas and put a pin in them, easing the cognitive load. Then you can handle those abstractions more easily. But yes, to your point, because frameworks typically only tackle a few levels of complexity, you still get that complexity back when you use the framework to advance the problems to the edge of what your framework is designed to address.

A recursive/fractal management of complexity will allow all levels of the hierarchy to feel similar, so you are never increasing complexity, only looking at a different resolution. I think the key to this is mapping out the fundamental organizational problems and how they relate to each other at different resolutions.

Making such broad statements about economical versus not economical is difficult, because batteries serve so many purposes and have so many revenue streams that deployment is highly locational, depending on the specifics of the grid and where and when demand causes congestion.

There's also little incentive to install storage when solar and wind penetration is low, but as higher percentages of the grid is powered by renewables, then storage quickly becomes far more attractive.

Currently, there are 14.5GW of batteries in development across the US, and this is just a tiny nascent industry. Even as a small industry, this is many times the power capacity of nuclear currently in development.

This biggest challenge with batteries right now is low supply, and competing with demand from EV production, which provides higher margins:

I am even less convinced now. Seems like a mixed bag.
Doesn't seem like there needs to be unity, just that things from the OS are handled in an OS specific way, but things not specific to the OS are handled in an identical way. Seems like container systems like flatpak deliver this. If google chrome flatpak was supported on all OSs then it wouldn't particularly matter to application developers that there were 200 flavors of linux around.
> I think an even worse problem is unions in the government.

This sounds good, but my mother worked for the local government and it changed my mind. Public employees have the most capricious employer in existence -- voters. The union helps mitigate that. My mother would have had her pension cut to nothing after years with no cost-of-living wage adjustments if it were simply up to the voters.

Static Code Analysis Prevents You from Waking Up at 3AM
I'm aware of the history there. I think the decision not to ship a builtin async runtime was probably correct. I also think shipping async syntax sugar and allowing people to build their own custom runtimes is just fine.

I just think that the cultural decision in the wider ecosystem to make, practically speaking, everything io related, async is possibly a mistake.
That's very expensive. Where do you live?

Different demographics will critique different aspects of different software. There will be an overlap between them, but it will be relatively small versus the people outside of the overlapping demographics who have used both.

E.g. I have tried Vivaldi, but it not being open source means I don't have a horse in the race. I also don't like Chromium-based browsers. Which really just leaves Firefox, which I also don't like, because Mozilla the ever-increasingly out-of-touch company.

FWIW: I hypocritically use Gmail because the UX is pretty much better than the sorry state of native email clients available on Linux. With that said, I also don't use email for anything sensitive, that goes via Matrix. Would I give access to my Gmail to Vivaldi? No.
I am usually forced to apply some 0.2px or 0.3px letter spacing because the designers I work with don't realize that their design software renders fonts completely differently than the browser, and that added letter spacing in the browser makes it 'look right' to them.
I don't understand how any part of that applies to my comment at all, sorry. (I take it from the way you quoted it at me that you think it does.) "Flamebait" applies to the comment I was replying to, though, I think.

> tanks and bombs and jets and nukes are kept in states though

We're talking about a military coup in the United States, which is a big topic, but technically, very few tanks and bombs or jets or nukes are in states. In part, for this reason. They're on federal property. States have militias; the U.S. has aircraft carriers and cruise missiles. If a secessionist government tried to invade federal territory, I would be wholly in favor of a decisive (if compassionate) military response.
Uh, what age is that? You know, so I know when to expect it.
It's because market share is important if you want hardware and software support. Right now Linux has terrible support VR, for instance, and one can only imagine that would be different if it were the majority desktop OS.
"States Rights" was about slavery in the 1860s, but I doubt that most people who are into small government today want slavery back.
> js was, for decades, simple & easy & sparked joy.

This is total revisionism. Using JS to program anything substantial was a total nightmare in decades past. I've been building websites since the early 2000s, JS is more ergonomic and capable now than ever before IMO.
> In absolute terms, Japan and India have costs similar to South Korea

That countries like Japan and Korea have similar absolute costs as India which has a 4-5x lower PPP adjusted GDP per capita suggests that the price for labor for nuclear power plant construction is globally set (relatively few qualified engineers who can demand a high price), or India uses a lot more labor, or a combination of both.

Yeah this statement makes me think that OP had very little actual knowledge about energy pricing.

If there’s ever a complicated market of supply and demand it’s energy. Having a huge chunk of the supply be stable and controllable is absolutely desired, will help simplify operations a lot, make supply more predictable, and as a result deliver more stable prices.

It’s not as if the population is suddenly getting cheaper windmills if there’s too much supply; if the energy supplier is losing money due to oversupply, they will need to get their money back another way, so it’s always the consumer that pays anyway.
> It takes a lot of discipline to resist complexity, to say “no” to new boxes and arrows.

If we refactor a very large function into smaller sub functions we are essentially adding new boxes... but are we creating complexity, or simplicity?

In my case its because I always forget to open it or I close it by mistake.

> I don't see how this is any better than opening a browser tab with a mail client in it?

One big benefit is the dedicated Side Panel. Keep the folder view visible on the left while you browser.

Another benefit, which may or may not matter to you in particular, is that the client can handle multiple email accounts without mixing them. This generally isn't possible in a webpage unless there's a single service that has access to all mail accounts, which isn't desirable for privacy & security reasons. But this is admittedly a niche feature.
I haven't seen a lot of evidence to support public employees having a moral problem. Unless you are referring to politicians, in which case I wholeheartedly agree. But these are who you are voting into office.
Ye it was originally GPL, but I got messaged from some super large company I used to work for to change it to BSD, so I changed it.

Anyways the package will get a makeover, so I'm switching to the AGPL 3 licnese - heard that was good for monetisation.
"Maybe they can build their own browser again", but the web is not the cute little thing it was back when everyone was writing their own engines. Even a small team literally cannot write a web engine with enough support for the majority of common use cases anymore. It's literally why Vivaldi went with an off the shelf engine and focused on the browser part instead.
I live an extremely democratic leaning city and they basically suck at everything. Yard waste has sat on my curb for 2 months now because I guess they just don't feel like picking it up any more. Equipment has been broken in my local playground for nearly a year now. The only one that actually picks up trash in my local park in an organized fashion is the Libertarian Party of all people. And I could go on.

There's no right crafting policy to kneecap the city's ability to function as a city.

> base load generation capacity

What's the consensus on the meaning of 'base load generation capacity'?

There are those who'd say it's an archaic term often used to defend power sources that can't ramp up and down to meet demand, and nuclear would be top of that list. If - for instance - there are times when it's windy and sunny, why should consumers have to pay more than the market rate to nuclear generators, just because nuclear is inflexible?

More broadly: what's the actual use case for 'base load generation capacity' over the coming decades?

A Survey on the Fairness of Recommender Systems
Yeah I just learned this in fact, that the Google Authenticator app is one thing that does not sync to my google acct seamlessly (read: without asking). Learned it the hard but not unrecoverable way thank goodness.
I hope not! Outside of the Chrome part, ChromeOS is a mess of awkwardly attached virtual machines. If you want a "native" app (unless your native app is Steam), your best option is Android, which means you're inside an Android VM, your webview component is an Android Chrome webview, you can't see other things on the network (because you have a virtual network device), permissions are granted via the Android Settings panel which is distinct from the Chrome OS Settings panel and an even more user-hostile experience than it already was, and your widgets are all slightly wrong. It is bloat all the way down. Running plain old Linux apps is a similar problem, except it's a "developer feature", so you can't expect an end user to use your app on their Chromebook.

It is exceedingly difficult for a developer to contribute any kind of improvement to this because the bug tracker is a black hole and the source code is a gargantuan monorepo with multi-page build instructions that basically require you to sacrifice a computer if you want to get anywhere.

Sandboxing is great and all, but the thing is a glorified hypervisor. It has no vision of its own for app distribution, user experience, or developer experience. It boggles my mind that they are doing this with ChromeOS: the OS that runs on the cheapest, slowest, most under-specced computers on the market.
Not sure how "closed source" is something to have a problem with in this context? Outlook is closed source, Apple Mail is closed source, and with rounding we all still use those too?
There is a ton of overlap with every general purpose programming language. So it's correct to say you can solve the vast majority of problems with the majority of programming languages, but languages differentiate themselves in many different ways. One of the main differences between rust and go is that go is a garbage collected language. That feature alone typically creates a large divide in what languages are trying to achieve.
The startup time is indeed pretty slow, but otherwise it's fast, which is what matters for me. I restart Vivaldi usually after it got updated, or I reboot my PC, so it doesn't bother me a lot honestly.
Notion Is Acquiring Calendar App Cron

Step #1 to being acquired by Notion, host your documentation on Notion.
Construction costs are only part of the picture and utility operators are well aware that they need to look at lifecycle costs. This includes everything from costs of fuel rods (look at the historically volatile uranium market), availability of large volumes of cooling water (see more frequent droughts), maintenance costs (maintenance being a major factor in the retirement of California's nuclear power plants), security costs, the cost of storing fuel rods onsite for decades, and finally, decommissioning costs (as reactors themselves become contaminated with in-situ activation products, i.e. radioactive cobalt/iron/carbon/nickel isotopes).

It's basically a huge long-term liability that just doesn't exist with solar/wind/storage, hydropower, or geothermal.
lolllll!! Well I don't mind helping my family and friends :)) They rarely ask since, but if they do, they're super nice about it!
The data is only stored in one data center, and the 99.9 and 99.99 percentile latency on requests is not good and can cause issues depending on use case.

And if durability is your main concern you'd be on a cheaper S3 plan anyway.

> I'd still argue the 4.6x cost difference isn't worth that for a lot of uses, though.

Sure. S3 and B2 have different strengths, and B2 is better for many uses. But looking at the full stack and the performance at each layer suggests to me that S3 charges a reasonable/fair price for storage. And that's what the question was about.
This is a strangely rose-tinted view of Usenet. Usenet was a mess well before Eternal September. You can't talk about Usenet without talking about alt.*

After alt.* was inagurated, the very first group was (IIRC) alt.swedish.chef.bork.bork.bork. Then there were alt.destroy.the.earth and alt.pave.the.earth, which were bitter enemies despite their opposition to alt.save.the.earth, because if you destroyed the earth there'd be nothing left to pave. Alt was also the home of the Big Seven sex groups, plus piracy in the alt.binaries groups. The talk.* groups had problems as well. Oh, and then there was alt.2600, which purposely had a moderator who rejected any and all postings: you had to hack USENET and assume moderator privileges to post there.

I think easily the closest thing we have nowadays to USENET is reddit. And, to be honest, if you average over its entire audience, it's more tame than USENET was.
You wrote "Your data is end-to-end encrypted", but your webpage doesn't mention that anywhere (just says you won't sell users' data) and it kinda seems impossible as you need to be able to see what I write to give suggestions...
The right would argue something like it's a trojan horse for spreading socialism more widely, or a means of bashing the government with constant attacks based on exaggerating its problems, scaremongering over potential reform/privatisation etc.

But anyway, before you attack it - I'm not the one that came up with it - that was the leader of the Labour Party Ed Milliband! It caused a political storm at the time. Clearly the media, political classes etc. did not consider it complete nonsense or they wouldn't have taken it seriously - nor would the government been able to hammer Milliband/the left with it for years.
Yeah, wasn't keen the first time around either. Always felt like a compromise. I like an app for each task, otherwise it just feels like using a blunt knife to cut something tough, for want of a better analogy.
> * remove All notifications from non-message & Calendar apps.

Absolutely this. Most chat and social apps have no notifications for me. and if any other app sends me notifications that aren't really relevant to me as an individual, then it gets muted too.

But additionally! The "screen time" controls on iOS actually do an even better job at muting notifications, including in apps whose notifications that I never bothered to control as meticulously. Screen time limits the time that an app is available for you that day, I have entire categories of apps down to "15 minutes" with news apps set to 30 minutes a day. The additional unexpected benefit is that this also disables notifications while those apps are blocked for the rest of the day.
To summarize the differences between Ably/Pusher and Liveblocks, Ably/Pusher use a centralized Redis to broadcast messages to channels. Liveblocks has tiny isolated servers on the edge for every room. These two different architectures create the following trade-offs:

- Ably/Pusher are lower level than Liveblocks. It doesn't have any storage associated to a channel and does not solve any conflicts.

- Liveblocks provides API to migrate existing app into collaborative ones via integration with state management library like Redux/Zustand. I have a POC somewhere that try integrate with Vuex, would love to release that at some point!

- Ably/Pusher charges per WebSocket message sent. Liveblocks charges per WebSocket connection. Because of that, building features like cursors can become quite expensive on Pusher.

- Ably/Pusher lets you connect to multiple channels with a single WebSocket connection (because they're using a centralized Redis IIRC). Liveblocks requires a single WebSocket connection per room. Pusher is good for notifications systems, Liveblocks shines when you need to build an app like Figma or Google spreadsheet.

Hope it helps!
IMO, the main (only?) reduction of e-waste comes from reselling the old phones on the secondary market. Re-use is much more effective than recycling. Until the bitter end.
Same here. I bought Procreate for my older iPad Pro and it has proved to be a real game changer for me. It transformed my relationship with the device so much that I installed a few other image tools on there and now it is my go-to for creative work. I also bought some art ‘books’ on the Kindle app and that has also helped with my mental health.

At some point in your life you get bored of doom scrolling on various apps and even browsing the web I’m now totally bored of it all. There isn’t anything new. Getting creative on the iPad using Procreate and using the phone for its camera to take reference shots and arty photos has been great. We have marvellous tools at our disposal and to use them for social media or reading rehashed blog articles masquerading as news seems like a crime to me. At any point in history people would have loved to have those tools available!
Was Jarek Duda employed by Google when he invented this? Or ever? Google is claiming they deserve a patent because applying the technique to video constitutes an inventive step (the EU patent office disagreed), and that the original idea is too abstract to patent. They are not claiming they own the idea because they employed Duda - at least, I couldn't find such a claim.
Most UK police officers don't have a gun:

An authorised firearms officer (AFO) is a British police officer who is authorised, and has been trained, to carry and use firearms. The designation is significant because in the United Kingdom most police officers do not routinely carry firearms, although they can be equipped with tasers.
In 2019/20 fiscal year, there were 19,372 police operations throughout England and Wales in which the deployment of firearms was authorised and 6,518 firearms officers, 4.9% of the 132,467 active FTE officers. Following the November 2015 Paris attacks it was decided to significantly increase the numbers of armed officers, particularly in London.
