Which could be fine, as long as the tool is only ever used for social events within existing teams with an out-of-band channel for dealing with harassment or bullying. But we all know that this won't be the case.

So let's not pretend these problems can't exist, or can just be hand-waved away with "well you can just leave". That's not how real social interactions work, especially those with employee/employer externalities attached.

Ah yes, I've heard that one. Which is why I mentioned China.

But also, it's not the technology that is building and running those projects, it's people, and in the foreseeable future, it will continue to be ran by people, so even if it is somehow a people problem that only happens for nuclear energy and not (or much less) for renewable energy, it is something that needs to be taken into account when planning for new energy sources.
FWIW I’m a former senior-less junior that programmed himself into a hole. My blog and conference talks are exactly the material that I’d loved to have had ~10 years ago.

Not sure if I’d have been smart enough to take my advice though. ;)
Making solar and wind consistent with various kinds of storage is likely going to be more economical than producing said energy with nuclear power plants.

As for comparison to natural gas and such, CO2 taxes will be increased until those are phased out. Still economical? Taxes will be raised until they aren't. We have to leave most of the carbon in the ground.

The fork happened in 2011, 11 years ago, so there are 11 years of refinement and new features. OpenOffice is in maintenance mode so there are no new features, only bug fixes.

One of the biggest features of LibreOffice over OpenOffice is compatibility with Microsoft Office files.

OpenOffice can open Microsoft Office files but doesn't support as many features as LibreOffice does.

OpenOffice can't save in the newer Microsoft Office formats (docx, xlsx, etc) but LibreOffice can.

Also, LibreOffice now has a ribbon-like interface. To enable it, click View > User Interface and choose Tabbed.
Bitcoin disappearing tomorrow wouldn't make a dent in our current fossil fuel emissions. Bitcoin mining ASICs don't emit CO2. Take it up with policymakers who subsidize fossil fuels.
The 20th century power grid structure - baseload, load-following, and peaker - is decrepit, and this should be more generally understood. It was designed around a few centralized power plants feeding into a large regional grid from which cities and industry would draw power.

Modern electrical grids are powered by a much larger range of primary energy sources, and increasingly have distributed storage and generation as key components. This requires some sophisiticated load-balancing technology, but we're not reliant on engineers throwing switches on a mainboard like it was 1950 and slide rules were in everyone's pockets, are we? For example see:

https://www.nrel.gov/grid/advanced-distribution-management.h...

For example, if solar input to a grid at noon greatly exceeds demand, or there's strong afternoon offshore winds, an advanced grid could instruct all battery storage linked to the grid (in the form of everything from electric cars to home battery systems) to switch to absorbing that output in real-time, while keeping the overall grid energized. The notion that you'd even want a steady state baseload system dumping power into the grid in that situation makes little sense. If the sun goes down and wind dies down, then switch all the battery storage to feed into the grid, on a real-time second-by-second basis. That's how future grids will operate in the absence of either nuclear or fossil fuel inputs.
Clearly you shouldn’t vape unless you are trying to quit smoking. But yes, vaping is much less terrible than smoking. Also, Nicotine is not at all the part of the cigarette that is bad for you, it’s just the addictive chemical that keeps you hooked. Nicotine is just bad for your gums and is similar to caffeine as a stimulant.
Indirectly political?

I guess, given that one political party decided to mandate these vaccines.

Does that mean that issues with mRNA vaccines can therefore not be discussed, or early research examined?

Increasing research seems to point that the risk/reward calculus of some of the vaccines is different than what was believed and communicated.

We're not supposed to discuss this because it could be politically embarrassing to one party?

That doesn't seem to be in keeping with the spirit of HN.
in a world of legal real tobacco cigarettes I expected to see regulation on marketing only

Regulators tend to only care about things which aren't already entrenched in the culture of the regulator. For example, if you tried to market a car that was as dangerous to drive as the safest motorcycle on the road the NHTSA would probably draw and quarter you.
It didn’t come from specific mines. Damascus was made from wootz steel from India. The Indians discovered the technique of adding carbon during the smelting process to harden the steel and give it its characteristic bands. It was a well known technique and they knew exactly what they were doing.

Unless you are being extremelly pedantic than I would agree with the parent. The thesis of the article is essentially "Solar and Wind aren't the way forward, Nuclear is the way". While it is reasonable to acknowledge the solar and wind still face many challenges, the parent is pointing out that they are already doing a good job in accelerating decarbonization and Nuclear, while appealing, isn't the clear cut winner the article is saying it is.
There is good evidence that demodex are one of the causes of rosacea, so they are likely not as beneficial or benign as the article makes out.

But let me guess, RJ Reynolds’s vape device is not being pulled…
I have. And besides the anecdotes, you can just look at the fact that vaping became a super hype amongst kids, kids that at least in my country were not smokers and couldn't have been because cigarettes are taxed to be totally unaffordable for kids, and even if they can afford them they're hard to buy because it's illegal to sell them to kids.
As the creator of Calla, I would say that there is not much to be learned from Calla specifically.

The WebRTC portion was all implemented through Jitsi Meet, and I eventually grew to regret that direction. My current work uses just a CoTURN instance with a fully custom backend for managing multiplayer.

The user interface was only ever intended to be a demo, I didn't have any interest in running it as a FOSS project in its own right, and it while I would say it was certainly a competent implementation, it also wasn't anything ground-breaking in any way.

That basically leaves just the core audio graph management as anything that was valuable in the project. That part still lives on in my project at work, but considering I basically gave up on trying to run FOSS projects after some deep introspection on my experiences with running FOSS projects, I don't put much effort into documenting my code anymore. But if you want to see the audio graph management stuff, the latest version is here: https://github.com/capnmidnight/Juniper/tree/master/src/Juni....

The WebRTC system that I now use is largely this on the client (https://github.com/capnmidnight/Juniper/blob/master/src/Juni...) plus this on the server (https://github.com/capnmidnight/Juniper/tree/master/src/Juni..., which is a SignalR hub in an ASP.NET Core app, but should make the signaling flow clear). And then this code uses the client (https://github.com/capnmidnight/Juniper/blob/master/src/Juni...)

That's not a quantitative assessment, that's a qualitative assessment, and that's what the other commenter is objecting to.

If you quantify the risk associated with one activity as 100, and you quantify the risk of another activity as 5, and you then describe the first activity as bad, and the second as less bad, while that might be perfectly true, you've lost a lot of information in the assessment.
Not medical advice, just an anecdote. Regarding helping your lungs recover _after_ quitting smoking. I can't recommend this highly enough.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JWTRA5I?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_...

I quit smoking years ago and have always felt some residual effects. After a few months of breathing exercises with a muscle oxygen trainer, I've noticed a night and day difference. I spent a few weeks coughing stuff up, my blood pressure has improved, as has my cardio performance on measured performance equipment like the Peloton.

Again, this is just my personal experience, but it might be worth a look if you're working towards a long term recovery.
When the headline is a question the answer is "no".

"Russian hackers" have been accused of so much at this point, occasionally in American courts. Not a lot of convictions. The courts have not been finding the cases to be legally sound, I gather.

>People have been claiming peak oil since the 1930's. Yawn.

Are you claiming fossil fuels aren't limited? Also, oil peak is widely believed to have been reached already https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-world-has-already-passe...

If the cost of extraction rises due to oil and gas being more and more difficult to access (because it's limited, obviously), you could claim demand has peaked but it would still be due to production cost (i.e production peaking).

I could see it going either way. Not to knock the series--I greatly enjoyed them as a child--but there was a solid cookie-cutter formula that they all followed by Vol. 30 or so.

I get the feeling that if R.L. Stine got to the point that he could pound one of these volumes out in a week, he could have easily trained someone else how to do it, as well.

My current advice would be put, all money in bitcoin and don't look at it till the beginning on 2025. Then put a sale offer for 6x the price for what you bought for to get a conservative return on your investment.

Than wait few years for the next crypto crash and when you read heading "Bitcoin is dead" it's time to buy again.

No, where the price is negative it reflects the value of storage, which is basically missing from the market, but will not continue to be.
The article says that police are allowed to chase people committing the crimes you described:

> Under the policy, officers may give chase if they believe a person is committing or is about to commit a felony, a Class A misdemeanor such as domestic battery, or a serious traffic offense that could risk injuring others, such as drunken driving or street racing.

> Officers won't be allowed to chase people on foot if they suspect them of minor offenses such as parking violations, driving on suspended licenses or drinking alcohol in public. But they will still have discretion to chase people who they've determined are committing or about to commit crimes that post "an obvious threat to any person."

This policy is written with plenty of room for officer discretion and seems perfectly sane once you get beyond the headline (an embarrassingly bad headline for a source like NPR).

I disagree with you on the smart contracts being the problem. a) Bitcoin doesn't use them, b) none of the issues you raise are caused by smart contracts. ALL of those are caused by large exchanges luring people in on the promise of free money.

> The same thing has happened to Linux which was ok as long as it was chasing commercial Unix, spawning POSIX even; but look what happened with systemd, wayland, snaps/flatpacks, Docker, k8s, and all the other erratic developments - all the while not a single end-user app was created in the last decade.

Strongly disagree. Desktop Linux is better than it's ever been before, and not at all comparable to the degenerate hellhole that is the modern web.

systemd isn't perfect, but I think it's an improvement from traditional init. If you prefer the simplicity of traditional init systems, then you're free to use a non-systemd distro. Wayland is a much-needed modernization and simplification of the graphics stack, and again, nobody's forcing you to use it - X11 won't disappear any time soon. Snap, Flatpak, Docker, etc aren't exactly my cup of tea either, but again, nobody's forcing us to use them. Debian, Arch, etc are chugging along just fine. Meanwhile, PipeWire is a significant improvement compared to bare ALSA or Pulse+Jack, and iwd is a significant improvement compared to wpa_supplicant+NetworkManager.

As for new end-user applications, how about Sway?

>It allows servers to integrate with the strong authenticators now built into devices, like Windows Hello or Apple’s Touch ID.

The problem I have with this is that some consumers won't understand the degree to which all of their access depends on their MS/Apple account. Consider the hypothetical person using this for all their access, smacking their finger down on the reader habitually for every pop-up. Ok now they lose their phone. Do they remember their apple password? Do they know how to recover their account? Are they locked out of their digital lives now? For some percentage of people that answer would seem to be yes.

For example, the Apple account recovery process [1] seems particularly vulnerable scenarios where your devices and wallet are lost together, so don't get your bag stollen while traveling if you don't remember your apple password.

Elements pipeline - I render most of the elements in blender. I also need to tell the physics engine where the walls are for the new elements for blocking audio, video and movement.

As per offloading more work to the client - that's what I'm trying to avoid. I'd like to make flat.social as tech-inclusive as possible and make sure that it works on weaker devices. Processing audio, video and the game itself is already enough so when possible, I try to offload the work to the backend.

Also, Slack integration is pretty much ready but still in testing :) While I do not think that it's possible to render the app itself within a Slack channel, there are couple shortcuts that might be useful for teams/communities who want to organise recurring events with Slack notifications.

This is the key stat - you can sell your app and maybe make some coin, or you can make it free and shove it full of ads and definitely get some (small amount) of coin.

I appreciate your reply, but there are different tones to it. I see most technical cynicism as frustration and ambition for technical excellence.

Most emotionally detached debate gives some undertones of something creepy,
I can't really put my finger on. I would not waste sweat on a vim vs emacs war :-) but if you don't get your heart pounding on a Windows vs Linux vs Mac debate for example, there something unsettling about it also. :-)

And we should absolutely pursue it. In the meantime let’s do more natural gas, solar, wind, and nuclear.

What people don't realize is the job that pays 30% or so more than your current job requires alot more work and a ton more stress, and for me that is not worth the extra money - which by the way most of which goes to taxes anyway. I really feel like it doesn't "pay" to move up in an org mainly due to the extremely high tax hit along with stress the title comes with.
