Anyone remember the infinite masterball cheat (red and blue) that required surfing up and down the eastern side of Cinnabar Island and fighting the MissingNo. pokemon? Good times. Also, I would 100% buy a Nintendo Switch if they released a remastered version of red/blue/yellow (no additional pokemon ffs) especially with online multiplayer.
Also google sells it to everyone. Apple uses it for their company sure, but they aren't selling it. The day they do I'm selling all my apple stuff, just like I got off the google train.
> This is Bumble, men can't send the first message on it

Right, but almost every female-initiated conversation I ever had on Bumble was "hi" or an emoji, and then a wait for the man to drive the conversation. It's a marketing gimmick rather than something that in any way changes the dynamic compared to Tinder, where I also found that I (the man) had to initiate the conversation.

The best thing about Bumble when I last used it was it was a small-enough pool that you could browse everyone, so when you opened it up and started swiping you were interacting with people who'd newly joined (or newly re-opened their account), and were a little less jaded / over the whole thing.
Seems like half of the comments here are from people who read the title and assumed the article was about grinding in many modern video games. The article is actually about the burgeoning genre of simulator titles for literal chores, like Power Washing simulator, Job Simulator, Unpacking, etc.

While there may be some related underlying factors influencing both, they are very much not the same thing. As always, it helps to read the article before commenting.
What? They worked reliably and efficiently, and cost very little.
In other news a record number of US teenagers never engaged in any real life 'mundane chores' in their life. "Physicals work is what our parents, or immigrants do!". 'PowerWash Simulator' is fun if you never worked all summer at a carwash, same with 'Viscera Cleanup Detail' etc.
LOL. That's the first time I've heard of that. I thought I had access to all Windows 10 versions, but that one's not on my access list. Includes its own special encryption algorithms. Oh boy!

> So, would it make more economic sense for this 1GW battery-storage system to be replaced by a nuclear power plant? Australia after all is one of the places with the most high-grade uranium ore, being among the top three exporters.

As much as I detest the pro nuclear shilling, this isn't a valid comparison. 250MWh of storage is only useful for very short term energy arbitrage and isn't a replacement for always-on power.

The real answer is a mix of solar, solar-thermal, wind, storage, and combined cycle plants for the holes (ideally eventually powered by plant-based and solar-cracked hydrogen/methane/etc.). This mix costs a bit more than nuclear does now, but doesn't have the huge massive downsides of total dependency on and subservience to a handful of companies operating out of the five or so countries that are allowed to produce fuel (as well as all the existential risk stuff, concentration of risk to mistakes/attacks, horrible un-accounted externalities and supply chain fragility). It will also likely cost less to build it at a time such that it would still be completed before a nuclear plant which was comissioned now.

Of course that's all moot because the balance *right now* is running existing fossil fuel infrastructure more vs. building solar and not storing the energy. And in this equation, the cost of solar is a tiny fraction of nuclear.
If someone needs shelter, what's to stop them from locating a suitable bit of land, scrounging up materials, and constructing a dwelling, through their own energy and ingenuity? Many people try this, but it is the government which stops them, sending police officers and sanitation workers out to "clean up" the "illegal encampment" and remove it from the "public park" or "highway right-of-way" where it was located.

We can see that housing is a right in the same way that freedom from unreasonable search is a right: it is a limit on what the government can do to you. If shelter is a basic right, that means the government cannot force you to be homeless.

A government assumes an obligation to provide housing for its citizens by interfering with their natural ability to provide it for themselves. It is the government which defines the idea of private land ownership, the government which hires police to enforce property boundaries, the government which imposes property taxes, the government which regulates use of public land, the government which enacts zoning codes, the government which requires building permits.

If someone cannot make it through this gauntlet, we cannot demand that they simply lay down and die: government created the problem, so government must solve it. Accepting the existence of shantytowns is one solution; subsidized public housing is another.
This means nothing. If you study prior periods of inflation, prices always go up first, and wages go up after a delay.

That was literally the second half of the sentence (which you left out, unless GP edited their post).
I can only speak for people in the United States of America but another option is a living trust. This avoids giving power of attorney until a medical professional has declared one unable to consent. The document can have well thought out instructions created far in advance detailing who has what powers and what properties/items may be transferred in advance of and/or upon ones mortality. This avoids some family drama when people make sub-optimal decisions. A living trust can mitigate some of the drama and legal battles. Assigning trust managers can also mean there are people looking out for you and/or family members when you are incapacitated, limiting how much money is paid to whom at what intervals typically limited to a number of years after your passing. A lawyer can walk one through the most common issues specific to them and ensure it is in the legal documents. This is also a good way to protect properties and bank accounts but that is a whole topic in and of itself.
Using an AMA source is disingenuous since it’s a professional cartel with a massive vested interest in keeping doctor supply as limited as possible.
I'm currently a postdoc in Germany, to be honest, it seems that only people who can't find a job in the industry are staying in academia. I've never met a postdoc who was happy about what they are doing, everyone one is thinking of an escape plan.

It's probably in the US. A friend of mine was physical chemist and was paid in the 20k range per year several years ago and it was barely livable. It's not surprising that a junior developer getting paid 5 times of that.
Gnome is at least capable of running on devices that have touchscreens. There aren't many of these, and many people who do have a touchscreen on their laptop don't use it, but at least it's a somewhat defensible position. Apple, on the other hand, still maintains two separate platforms for touch and non-touch input. There isn't a single Mac with a touchscreen and there probably won't be any in the foreseeable future. This design thus makes absolutely zero sense in macOS.
It’s academia chicken/extended dare- who is willing to grit n+1 postdocs out to show that they’re committed
Given the age of the devices, and that this is a retro-activity anyway, I would suggest one of the Palm III or Palm m1xx devices -- most of them take AAA batteries, not a built-in rechargeable. And will give you the experience of the typical heyday of Palm OS. (By the time large colour screens rechargeable batteries and WiFi became standard, Palm was already already well into decline.)
Always upvote articles that imply Agile can be lacking. Really, meta-processes are the way to go, and can be defined by checklists. E.g. For this effort, will documentation be helpful? check yes/no. Then you aren't blindly just doing stuff because it is or is not part of the process. The process itself is configurable.

I compared pickup in store price with the price in the store for the past 2 years, and they are the same at my Target every time.

However, in 2017 to 2018 or so, I noticed that online prices were higher than the in store prices, but they did not have online order and in store pickup back then.
Yes, because he isn't afraid. He attacked because of once in a lifetime perfect storm: USA maxing out its credit card, CoVID, China hunkering down, Molotov-Ribbentrop 2.0 with Germany, highest access to Western lobbyists it ever had, Turkey in turmoil, and so, so, so.

He will not let the West to recover. Were his 200,000 troops to march into Poland instead of Ukraine in February, the entirety of NATO in Europe would' be in a giant trouble until USA would've brought forces from North America.

For as long as the West will be showing fear, he will continue to attack.
That's interesting and quite valid, haven't thought of this. And I agree, recursion is often more intuitive and concise for these things.
In quite a lot of cultural traditions, the point of marriage is supposed to be that it is significantly different and you won't break up due to poor fit. I don't mean this as a personal callout, I'm glad you've found happiness, but when people complain about serial monogamy creating "a loose bond" what they mean is that it makes your view of marriage seem obvious and their view of marriage seem impractical.

Well that’s choosing to not hire people without a PhD, not that the work actually requires it. Also most people hiring compiler people aren’t doing it with an open application system. It’s a lot of word-of-mouth.
We've just had 60 years of employer propaganda outspending unions. The WFH aspect of COVID was the first positive pushback for employees in decades.

There are two reasons why managers are so scared about this development. First, middle managers get promoted by being noticed by their superiors. Hard to do when nobody is in the office. Secondly, in a world where a manager can dictate whether your retirement is funded and whether you will be able to have your medical bills covered next month, suddenly we have a sense of power arising from the lowly hourly and salaried employees who once again learned that they have the power to say "no."
Inner qualities don't matter with online dating. You're not choosing someone based on inner qualities with online dating or even first dates. You're choosing your dates based off of superficial qualities then hoping maybe there will be good inner qualities that come along.

This is why if you're not getting dates now - you will not get them later unless you change something about your most superficial appearance.

> A far better plan for Europe would be to go 100% renewable asap, meaning no need for fossil fuel imports from any party. Yes, that's technologically possible, but would require massive economic investment.

I agree, but: It's 100% impossible to replace the need for gas in the short timespan of five months until the next winter, no matter how much money or resources we throw at the problem. The absolute majority of heating is done with gas and major parts of the electrical grid depend on it. We cannot replace it with renewables in time. We need gas or people will freeze to death in the worst case, there are no alternatives to the LNG imports in the short-term, IMO.

And the countries that can export LNG, including the US, are aware of their strong negotiating position and want long-term contracts.

Europe may not have a choice. :/
The cities skylines channels are great because you get to see someone knowledgeable about the game (and sometimes city planning itself, like https://www.youtube.com/c/CityPlannerPlays - I now know a bit more about Skylines but an awful lot more about how a city is built) build something. It can be very entertaining both in the discussion available and also in the "hey he did what I would have done" way - similar to watching Jeopardy, I guess.

It's far from uniquely a freedesktop problem. There's one platform I know of whose applications, with the exception of Electron junk, mostly follows system design guidelines and that's macOS. It's far from perfect, but it's the best out there at the moment. Windows used to have about the same level of consistency in the Vista and 7 age. I think Microsoft has ruined their design uniformity the day Windows 8 came out. Windows 8.1, then 10, then 10 again, and now 11, all added their own little inconsistencies to a system that hadn't been fully ported to the new UI yet.

However, in my opinion the inconsistencies are rarely ever by design, except for Electron/Tauri/etc. applications because web developers consider themselves above concepts like "consistency" and "using system standards". The move from native to specialised, slightly outdated browsers has been a regression in usability in many aspects and the proposed solutions seem to be to switch to a dedicated, up to date browser rather than to look for consistency. I usually run most Electron apps in my browser instead because the "native" part of the application never seems to add anything, really, though sometimes developers don't port features to the web version.

Qt can copy the native look and feel quite easily but GNOME chooses not to expose a usable native look and feel unless you port the entire thing over to GTK+. In return, GTK+ doesn't even try to come close to a native look and feel.

If Qt and Wine applications don't look entirely native, that's because of technical challenges or a lack of free time to invest in platform behaviour. In these opinionated desktop environments and SDKs, the problem is actually a conscious choice: "our system looks better than your so suck it" rather than "we don't have time to make our UI look perfect on your system".

When developers choose frameworks that don't look consistent that's either because of cost effectiveness, lack of knowledge of native languages, or sometimes simple laziness. Those reasons can be annoying but they're understandable. The real problem lies with the platforms themselves for not exposing easy methods to gain consistency. That's why I blame Electron more than Spotify or Slack, and why I have such a dislike of Java's GUI libraries, GTK+, and GNOME.
I'll probably get downvoted into oblivion but I gotta put this out here:

I understand adblocking because of how absolutely garbage ad networks are for privacy (and to some extent device performance). But I can't help and compare mass bypassing paywalls of news sites to jumping the pike on a transit network.

I know people here will come up with ~~reasons~~ excuses for justifying this theft, but it just reinforces the entitled nature of well-paid tech workers in my mind.

One of the things that helps prevent your body failing is using it. If you are injured, they tell you not to favor your injured limb. As we automate these little movements out of our life, are we doing ourselves a disservice by increasing our own body's atrophy?

To be clear, I like technology and automation. I want to automate dangerous tasks and things that cause repetitive stain. Maybe things that need improvement, home air filters for example are changed every 3 months. Is that ideal? Or by measuring the current draw from the blower fan you can see when the filter is getting clogged and change it when needed.

It does happen a lot on evolutionary timescales; it's how lemurs got to Madagascar, for instance. But one would think humans have the situational awareness not to get stuck on a raft of vegetation drifting out to sea.

"Some people even claim the government will pay for your child if you are completely poor."

Is this not mostly true? It seems government does pick up the tab for impoverished children. School, school lunch, Medicaid, SNAP/WIC, and easier to get housing as a woman with kids (both through charities and HUD housing and grants).

Yes, indeed, and I don't want to diminish in any way the value of mourning the dead. My point is just that that value accrues to the living, not to the dead.

So there may well be value in minimizing the pain of infants even if they don't actually experience pain. The policy decisions do not turn exclusively on the answer to the philosophical question.

But it's not a no-op either, because if you are going to (say) administer anesthetic to a baby you'd better be sure that the net benefits outweigh the costs to the baby.
In 2021, we added this many new gigawatts: 183 PV[0], 100 wind[1], 7.88 nuclear (but 8.6 nuclear was also shut down)[2]

28 times that, ignoring the shutdowns (I don't actually know how long wind lasts, IIRC nuclear is "about 50-70 years" and PV is "about 30 years"), gives a total of: 5124 GW PV, 2800 GW wind, 218 GW nuclear.

But that's a lower bound for PV, as that's growing with what looks like an approximately exponential long-term trend (since 1992) of 36.5% per year.

While such a growth rate is physically possible to maintain for 28 years even without going into space, given that if we did make so much we wouldn't merely give everyone an American lifestyle but also be able to get the entire human population continuously flying[3], I'm assuming it will turn into a sigmoid before then.

Have you seen Microsoft's latest work on UIs? They're less responsive, less readable, less discoverable, and less functional than anything that came out of the IE era.

Not that GNOME is any better, suffering as it does from the same tabletitis disease that has infected today's UI designers.
Haha, I used to do Planetary Interaction in wormhole space, to chill out. It was peaceful, setting up my extractors, harvesting raw materials, then running through various factories to obtain upgrades or finished products.

Of course, loading up my cargo and bringing to market was tense... but I never was attacked, probably because I only went to wormholes from hisec space. (The wormhole farming corp I was in maintained various stations but I went with the not-as-lucrative ones accessible from hisec and skipped the low/no sec ones. As I recall, I stopped a few years ago.)
> Basic research is important and has farther reaching impacts than a CRUD web app.

Those aren't the only two options and even they were, it isn't always true.
Google obviously has to gain by doing that, but not as much as Microsoft had. I mean, IE could run basically on one platform, which was Windows, so it makes sense Microsoft forced people to create dependency on IE.

I'm more concerned about Apple nowadays, they're doing everything to keep people locked down on their own ecosystem.
> Water pumps for nuclear reactor cooling systems, for example, are the most robustly engineered (and expensive) pumps ever built, as far as I know.

Which is not an issue with newer reactor designs, which are no less proven than grid storage.

>In 2010, another survey published The Japanese Association for Sex Education Research Journal found that 40.8% (up from 34.6% in 2006) of marriages in Japan could be classified as "sexless"

What an absolute disaster. Imagine all of Japan's recent Fukushima type events combined? How many deaths are associated with sexless marriages. Holy crap this is a disaster greater then their recent nuclear meltdown by whole factor levels. Easily hundreds of thousands of deaths every year.

What happens with sexless marriages? You stay at work because it's far less depressing to be at work than be at home in a sexless marriage. So Japanese work long hours. Yet people are lonely... and clearly quite unhappy. They even have a 'minister of loneliness'. So what does 'work' do? Try to make you happy. Mandatory happy training!

They are unhappy... they just need to get laid. Worse yet, you have such a large percentage of your work force who are sexless and unhappy. What does this do to productivity? How about that economic collapse because of tremendous government debt and tremendous taxes?
