For water, quality has a quantity all its own.

The 2m of rainfall in Singapore won't do you much good if it's contaminated.

And water is far more essential to life. A person can survive only a few minutes without air, or a few days without water. It's possible to live without (or with sharply limited) food for weeks or months.

A single closet shelf might provide a very rudimentary sufficient food supply for weeks.

Average per-person household water usage in the US is 80--100 gallons/day (300--380 liter). About 1 gallon (4 liter) is for drinking, roughly twice that for food prep / cooking, and the remainder for cleaning and sanitation.

A 1m x 1m x 2m closet (2 m^3) could hold a bit over 500 gallons (2,000 liter), or about a week's worth of average daily water use for one person.

Under emergency conditions that could be stretched considerably, but even at 5 gallon/day (~20 liter), a week's supply of water for a household of four would be over 0.5 m^3.

My point: You need a lot of water, and will suffer quickly without it.
"Everyone, feel free to be yourself! Uh, but not you."

That's the sort of idea where you realize if anyone involved had a sense of self-awareness they'd find the result painful, but instead they'll continue on, oblivious.

I haven't read "why we sleep" but this is an interesting article: https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/ which claims the book isn't all that great.
I'm a developer with 5 YOE, and it doesn't really end. But honestly, unless you're definitely trying to get into the MANGA (formerly FAANG) world, I would focus much more on just building something to show to potential employers. I think that's more likely to make an impression on any arbitrary company, because almost every company I've ever interviewed with has not really cared about algorithmic problem solving skills. Most companies want to see your ability to produce software. Plus actually building something, imo, is much more emotionally satisfactory.
I feel I must link to one of my all-time favorite Reddit posts [1] about just this. Please do read.

I’m not a git expert, but little visualizers like these helped me get comfortable (coding work on and off for 10 years) with git bash:

https://learngitbranching.js.org/
https://ohmygit.org/

Merge conflicts are usually pretty tedious but not something I fear. I’d have to Google to know what precisely rebase or bisect are useful for.

My coworkers have used gui tools to deal with git and I can’t understand how those work/translate to the commands. Git commit, add, push, status, and diff have gotten me pretty far!

Hopefully that helps!

My apologies. I did not read the first comment clearly enough, and the 2nd comment did not clarify the actual complaint.
Needs a [2020], but that suggests the author may well have an answer by now to their hypothetical question 'how do you propose to upgrade the cluster?'.

Like a lot of highly complex Cool Tools they're marvellous right up until you hit an edge case or performance threshold or an odd failure state -- and then you find yourself copy-pasting increasingly trimmed-down log entries, desperately seeking people who've hit the same problem, or rather, people who've solved the same problem and thought to describe it on the Internet.

If you're on fresh software, a fresh version, or just doing something mildly off-label, this can be a despairing process.
If specific performance judgement isn't ordered on Musk for the fake Twitter offer/bad faith agreement renege resulting in a multi-billion dollar fraudulent cash out, it'll be a strong indicator of blatant corruption.
That's not Rust's fault but library creators / programmers fault who often paint themselves into corner by refusing to use a heap allocation or clone here and there. Once you are ok with occasional boxing, you can easily do a lot of stuff that's otherwise hard - e.g. async traits or storing/passing/moving futures like any other value.

It is quite unfair to complain on convenience of Rust async used with no heap allocations to other languages which don't offer an option to avoid boxing at all. In e.g. Java when you return a Future it is always on the heap. In Golang, you don't even have a Future concept. So you basically can't do the same thing in other languages at all.
I know you mean well but we must be careful that we do not "throw out the baby with the bathwater".

The "great unwashed public" is incapable of understanding Scientific Nuances. Hence it is better in the interests of Public Health and Safety to project a simplistic and alarmist message when needed to get them to fall in line. It has always been this way in any matter of importance. This is actually much more important with those complex multifaceted subjects like Sleep, Fasting, General Health etc. It is made worse by the fact that the negative effects of these are imperceptibly slow, gradual but accumulate toward a unknown point when the "sudden collapse" happens.

This is why the jobs of Scientists/Researchers like yourself is so critical and crucial to the "Policy Makers". Your Scientific Knowledge drives your Belief which you distill and simplify to convince the "unwashed policy maker" who can then put out a decree for the betterment of the "unwashed masses".

This is mostly untrue.

Coal plants in particular are dramatically unsuited for the rapid changes in output to respond to changing demands for power.

Gas plants on the other hand are. And gas plants are cheap!

Overbuilding renewables with combinations of solar, geothermal (where available) and wind gives pretty good availability on it's own and with gas plants as a backup it gives you plenty of grid stability.

Edit: A link you posted elsewhere (thanks!) points out how well this works:

> If other sources meet demand 5% of the time, electricity costs fall and the energy capacity cost target rises to $150/kWh.

Battery storage is already well below this $150/kWh price.

Classic issues with distributed systems.
Canada's *deuterium-moderated* reactors are responsible for the world's tritium supply. This isn't that; this is the wrong type of fission reactor.

- "If not for CANDU reactors, D-T fusion would be an unattainable dream. “The luckiest thing to happen for fusion in the world is that CANDU reactors produce tritium as a byproduct,” Abdou says. Many nuclear reactors use ordinary water to cool the core and “moderate” the chain reaction, slowing neutrons so they are more likely to trigger fission. CANDU reactors use heavy water, in which deuterium takes the place of hydrogen, because it absorbs fewer neutrons, leaving more for fission. But occasionally, a deuterium nucleus does capture a neutron and is transformed into tritium."

- "If too much tritium builds up in the heavy water it can be a radiation hazard, so every so often operators send their heavy water to the utility company Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to be “detritiated.” OPG filters out the tritium and sells off about 100 grams of it a year, mostly as a medical radioisotope and for glow-in-the-dark watch dials and emergency signage. “It’s a really nice waste-to-product story,” says Ian Castillo of Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, which acts as OPG’s distributor."
I experienced chronic insomnia for over a year and definitely felt the impact it had on my physical and mental health. Two interesting things that I learn about insomnia from my experience:

1. I thought I could "will" myself to overcome my insomnia, but realized quickly that for chronic insomnia (defined loosely as at least 3 nights a week for 3 months or more), symptoms typically worsens over time and becomes harder to resolve if left untreated.

2. People who suffer from insomnia are often painfully unaware of how disruptive it is to their everyday lives. I thought I was doing OK, but turned out that I've gotten so used to getting poor sleep that I have forgotten what life was like before. People who are sleep-deprived consistently underestimate how sleep-deprived they are.

Gnome is disgustingly restrictive, and the general reddit trend of "ricing" unix windows managers is no better. It feels like we lost the plot on user-friendly expandable GUIs around the Vista era.
If you're right about your colleagues (and that's a big if, because you might not be) ask them for help. Having access to people who can mentor you to improve is by far the best way to learn for most people.

Next time you have an issue, don't just try to solve it with your familiar tools, but reach out to them and say what the issue is, that you want to learn, and ask if they can help. If they're good devs they'll be more than willing.

All that aside though, the new three way merge editor in VSCode is amazing. Why wouldn't you use that to resolve conflicts?
>I think they’ve been pretty clear for quite a while that there is subjectivity and judgment

Sure, but the fundamental point is that the 5% figure is calculated after they have id'ed all the "bots" that they can from the denominator.

EM has been representing 5% as the percentage of spam relative to everything on Twitter. If that's how you interpret it, it sounds unbelievable.

But it's not what they reported to the SEC at all. They are saying that after every bot is eliminated from their count of legit users via automated methods, manual sampling suggests 5% false negatives in the remainder.

I don't know what EM is up to or what the end game is, but he's clearly playing to members of the public who can be misdirected.

If he really is playing 7-dimension chess, then it suggests that he is building political cover for something - perhaps something outrageous that will happen in court.
We had a very similar issue. It wasn't recruiter, but a scammer setup a companyname+(inc).com domain to sell fake products. We went straight for their registrar with a trademark claim and were successfully able to get the domain transferred to us so we could redirect to our actual site. If they are hosting content that is clearly similar to yours, then a trademark claim can be successful. Then, rather than chasing down hosting providers, you only need to deal with it once. This is also a good point to spend a few hours registering any permutations of your domain that are similar enough to cause confusion to prevent this from reoccurring.

This is why the Nissan.com guy could keep the domain, since he wasn't selling cars. If he'd been using the domain that could be argued to be impersonating Nissan the car company, he would have lost ownership.
Thanks for the advice. Pretty much exactly what I’m trying to do. To be quite honest, I don’t do more than 1h of leetcode per week - been trying to spend much more time working on a startup with a friend. But even that is so hard. After a 10-5 workday, and being 9-10 by the time I’m done with everything else, I’m dead tired and it’s hard to work up motivation even when it’s something I love to do (write code where I determine what I’m writing).
Even if FSD doesn’t work out Andrej still has an impressive achievement for 5 years.

I’m not sure if many people 5 years out of their PhD can say they did anything close to what Andrej did.
Didn't a study show that pretty much all football players have CTE? I guess we're all just okay with it?
> Also, I think it would be very optimistic to assume an editor is deploying the word “problematic” about your story as anything other than an attack on its appropriateness and validity.

It's also plausible that it's "problematic" because the white savior theme has been so overdone it won't make the story interesting or stand out in any way. That's certainly problematic from a writer's perspective.
On the context, "sleep debt" seems to be from experiments at 4-5h per night restriction cumulated for many days [0]

How much sleep is actually needed above that will heavily depend on the person and what they do

No :(

This is the kind of shit that would take never-made-any-stink me want to chain myself to the doors of alternative meat buildings to protest this.

We don’t need to farm raise octopuses. Ffs
Too bad there is no standard that is used to prevent these workarounds.
Same here - I got mine 2 days ago. Signed up when it first dropped.
I get worried too. I had untreated sleep apnea for upwards of 10 years (age 13 - 23). Each night my oxygen dropped to 85% or lower (this is what they recorded in the sleep study), and I woke up literally every minute for 10 seconds or more.

Scary to think about what my future holds, I know my attention span / memory sucks much more compared to when I was younger... anyways, I hope studies like these are wrong.
I am having difficulty to fall asleep and sometime remain asleep. It is very handicaping indeed. Of course benzo are working great. I had great result with bromazepam. But I stopped taking it a month ago (because I am afraid that it is not really good for the brain in the long term.)
Instead i tried Armodafinil. I personally found it really helps regulating my sleep cycle.. I take a pill and sometime half a pill in the morning.
When time for bed comes i can now fall asleep relatively quickly without alcohol / benzo.
Awesome link!

> If other sources meet demand 5% of the time, electricity costs fall and the energy capacity cost target rises to $150/kWh.

So just 5% of grid supply from something like gas lets you use storage for baseload now!

Battery storage is now available for as low as $55/MWh.

It’s naive to call yourself beta tester. People who have access to beta are basically just a part of PR exercise by Tesla, that tries to hide lack of meaningful progress towards multiple missed deadlines.

You aren’t beta testing complex automation system that’s operating on public roads. To do any meaningful testing you should have defined operation domain, specific behaviors to test, direct line to the engineering team to report issues, etc, etc.
We had some design challenges (and many other types of challenges...) but we really tried with Minecraft: Earth to go big with AR AND location-based gaming.

After we sunset it, it really struck me how scary GaaS can be. No one can play Minecraft in AR any more (at least currently) and I think that, even if it got old fast, it was a pretty magical experience. It made me really want to record a video playthrough for a few hours to try and capture the experience.
I'd speculated previously on this, but that could be fairly trivially accomplished with signature requirement extensions. here's my prior comment:

We had an employee compromised by a similar attack-executable linked in a Pdf.

Basic flow was-phisher asked employee to sign a document relating to customs. The phisher had gathered that this employee works with shipping claims and returns, and surmised that they need to deal with customs documents requiring signature. There was a link to an exe hosted on a European cloud service in the PDF titled "install fake signature certificate company to sign this document". This directed to a download of a basic ransomware executable. This did get past our AV to the point of encrypting the employee's machine, but thankfully was blocked from spreading to the rest of the network.

The employee's machine was toast, but I was able to restore from the prior day's backup and no major harm occurred. I was able to see the phishing attack since we use gsuite email so the ransom ware didn't erase the employee's inbox, but they did lose a half-day work and I updated our training. The attack itself was clever from a social engineering perspective, but the technical exploit was something any script kiddy could have downloaded from the open web, nothing advanced at all. But Gmail doesn't always scan links in PDFs, so a clever ruse was able to bypass Google's scanning as well as our local scanning.
It’s a shame; I think their Lightship platform sounds pretty interesting, if it can accelerate AR game implementation.

https://lightship.dev/

Having said that, none of their recent game ideas sound promising to me, except perhaps Harry Potter. I think to do as well as Pokémon you need to come up with a concept that is interesting (or flavorful) enough for folks to weave into their daily routine.

Even Harry Potter might be a bad fit as IMO it has a really weak magic system (mechanically speaking). I suspect more successful would be a world with an interesting hard magic system with complex mechanics, plus compelling flavor like Harry Potter is so good at.

Personally I think Cultist Simulator would be a good fit, since it has compelling recipe-progression and has great flavor that could be woven into the real world.

Maybe Stranger Things, with the AR being a window into the Upside Down?

I wonder if there is a way to weave Eve Online into an AR experience where people could contribute resources to corporations & participate in territorial struggles.

Interested to hear other folks’ ideas for compelling AR experiences.
Is that why I hear about stories of people eating too much spinach or drinking too much tea and getting mineral stones that form from oxalic acid?
I'm a co-founder of a niche multi-effect pedalboard company and we're filing for bankruptcy in Germany this very week.

It's not only the crazy price changes and random stocking issues. Small players have zero leverage with suppliers and are a much weaker link in this whole chaos. Good luck trying to find investors willing to put money to drive growth.

Hardware startups is absolutely brutal. No surprise so many fail after a "successful" Kickstarter campaign.

I'm actually surprised we're only going under nearly 30 months after the pandemic started. I would bet that millions of people will be unemployed because a gazillion of small companies will shut off in the next 18 months.

I'll never start (or work for) a hardware company for the rest of my life. Software is so much a better business to invest that makes me cry just thinking how much money and years I lost of my life.
I think we are being slowly conditioned to give up our info,

I hear people all the time saying well Facebook has been spying on you for years, so what does it matter?

Facebook is like the litmus test for normal data collection
calculators like TI-84 are programmable and you can even store programs to flash. You could literally type out plain text (like formulas, instructions, etc.) and store it as a BASIC program.

A lot of teachers don't know that there is a simple way to disable programs, and a lot of students don't know about the programming functionality. They don't understand that allowing a programmable calculator is basicially making the test open-book, not to mention it allows students to solve problems computationally (e.g. numerical analysis, euler's method, etc) that they would otherwise have to solve algebraicially.
If they're participating in the health care exchanges, they have a very limited set of criteria they can use to set pricing on the exchange (I believe it's just age and smoking status; sex is now a prohibited criteria, as are pre-existing conditions). I don't know if employer based healthcare can charge differential pricing based on whatever.

AFAIK, the fitness programs were based around many large employers running their healthcare insurance on a self-insured basis (often with an insurance company handling adminstration of the plan), and there's an expectation that increased fitness will decrease costs. Since the employer is paying the actual costs, decreasing them shows up in the bottom line; and incentivizing employees to do the fitness program might make sense. OTOH, some sort of requirement to wear a device to set an employee's healthcare premium sounds invasive, but I dunno.
Same with supermarkets and big box stores. Some of them have features such as scanning the barcode to get more info about a product.
The Democrats don't believe in subsidies for everything all the time, nor do they ever campaign on that. Some republicans simply say "stop government handouts" they don't say "Some government handouts are good but we need to control it"
People are different, and we still don't have a good understanding of how we're supposed to sleep. For instance the 8h of continuous sleep at night guideline is just that, a guideline, that won't fit many people's life of biological cycle.

Guidelines are needed to make policies and sweeping decisions at population level, but shouldn't be taken too seriously at individual levels.

Your neighbor was insensitive and should be more compassionate, but it doesn't mean their QOL is worse than yours (arguably they were in better shape than the sleep deprived you)
Lying for Money is excellent - I highly recommend it (my review[0]). I wish it had more information on crypto-scams but there are other books on that topic.

Elsewhere on this thread someone posted a great 2019 research article that says:

> If other sources meet demand 5% of the time, electricity costs fall and the
energy capacity cost target rises to $150/kWh.

Battery storage is already well under $150/kWh!
> Who is affording these on a regular basis?

Mostly techies, kids who live with their parents and poor people with really poor impulse control.
The hallowed pen licence! Our classroom had a sheet on the wall listing those who were allowed to be issued pens. Didn't make mine until year 6 I think.
> However, proving such results about _specific_ numbers is notoriously hard [3]. As far as I am aware, there has not been a single irrational algebraic number proven to be normal. Normality of well-known constants like pi and e is also an open problem! I would not be surprised if proving distributional results for continued fraction expansions of pi is also very hard.

Is it known if algebraic numbers can be normal? I'm not a mathematician, but almost all numbers are normal, and almost all numbers are non-algebraic (or even non-computable!). Something akin to "most of the non-algebraics and non-computables are normal, and none of the algebraics are normal" is feasible, right? It contradicts the commonly held idea that e or sqrt(2) or pi are normal, but we don't even have a (non-constructuve) proof that there exist irrational algebraic normals, do we?
