> (they even depend on large capacitors to start the compressors).

Those are starting caps and have nothing to do with energy storage. The caps cause a lagging in the voltage to cause a phase shift in the starting winding relative to the running winding which gets the rotor spinning. Once it gets up to speed it disengages.

What I see are lots of people comparing charging loads to existing appliances but not the fact they these loads are in ADDITION. So we are still facing a large increase in electrical load.
Thank you! I enjoyed writing those behemoth 300-page manuals. The tech writing world has changed so much since those days!
This is a perfect real-world example of the Vimes Boots Theory of Economic Unfairness:

"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."

- Men At Arms, Terry Pratchett

If you can afford to buy a decent car today, you'll still have a decent car in a few years, and have only put some basic maintenance into it.

If you can't afford to buy a decent car today, you still need a car today, so you're going to buy what you can afford. Then in a few years, your crappy car will have crapped out (even with more-than-basic maintenance), and you need to buy another one.

So, ten years down the line, you will have spent more on cars than the well-to-do, and you'll still be hearing a weird rattle in the engine every time you make a left turn.
Being the same vintage as Jim, much of this brought back memories.

There really wasn't any such thing as a tech stack - our company would produce software for various Unixen and, especially, Vax, and the language was alway C, with some Pascal on the Vax side (as, I was told, the Vax Pascal compiler produced far more optimal code than the C compiler).

Being a software engineer was like being a furniture-maker. You had to master a small number of tools - the saw, the chisel - and then craftsmanship consisted of discovering an affinity with these tools and a love of getting ever more skilled at using them. This path wasn't for everyone, which was fine - plenty of management and other non-tech roles for those folks - but if you grooved with your tools it was a real joy to be able to move from chair- to table- to cabinet-making and carry and refine your skills as you went.

This idyll could not last, however. Before too long it became uneconomical to make furniture this way, so for your chair making project you instead had to learn how to run a chair-making machine. When you moved onto a tables project, the machines there were infuriatingly dissimilar to the chair-making ones you'd just mastered. Worse still, moving back to chair-making after a year or two, you discover that the old machines you knew are now obsolete and you have to re-learn how to run their replacements. This stops being fun, or interesting, after a while, and yet sadly it's all that most younger software engineers know.

Occasionally, there is the need to make some shim or gizmo that the machines don't cover, so out come the trusty saw and chisel of yore - much to the amazement of the young'uns, who are astonished that an old-timer can still wield these antiques so effectively.
Slightly off-topic, but what would be a good book to learn guile (scheme, lisp) for someone with solid programming background (C, ruby, php, golang but no lisp at all)? I always wanted to give it a try but not sure where to start.
It happens because the problem is poorly framed. There's no reason you should have a relationship with Experian. It has a relationship with credit grantors. If they falsely report information about you to credit grantors to your detriment, it seems like they should be liable for libel.

CPU/GPU and RAM lived, but the corruption of the drives (even if the data was largely recoverable) and rendering of them as inviable to further writes really took me by surprise.

That combined with the way the HDD just did not care one lick despite apparently, just illustrated for me a difference in tolerance to operating conditions that I'd not had the chance to witness first hand yet.

Another way that inequality damages society. When your best bet for your future is to appeal to the super rich instead of serving society and getting money from the government society losses its power.

As you say, it is rational to work for the one that can pay you. It's a catastrophe that there general public in aggregation has less power than very rich individuals by themselves.
You could prep him with decoding games, have him invent a code for you to decode and visa versa. That was a hit when I was a scrub. My brother and I would spend time insulting each other and then had to work at it to decypher the insult. It then felt like a triumph to be insulted and understand it.

This article covers major issues:

Limits to Green Energy Are Becoming Much Clearer:
https://ourfiniteworld.com/2022/02/09/limits-to-green-energy...

[1] It is becoming clear that intermittent wind and solar cannot be counted on to provide adequate electricity supply when the electrical distribution system needs them.

2] Adequate storage for electricity is not feasible in any reasonable timeframe. This means that if cold countries are not to “freeze in the dark” during winter, fossil fuel backup is likely to be needed for many years in the future.

3) After many years of subsidies and mandates, today’s green electricity is only a tiny fraction of what is needed to keep our current economy operating.

[4] Even as a percentage of electricity, rather than total energy, renewables still comprised a relatively small share in 2020.

5] Most modelers have not understood that reserve to production ratios greatly overstate the amount of fossil fuels and other minerals that the economy will be able to extract.

6] The world economy seems already to be reaching limits on the extraction of coal and natural gas to be used for balancing electricity provided by intermittent renewables.

7] Conclusion. Modelers and leaders everywhere have had a basic misunderstanding of how the economy operates and what limits we are up against. This misunderstanding has allowed scientists to put together models that are far from the situation we are actually facing.
I stand by it being a non-problem in practice because the workaround is trivial, and the supposed solution adds complexity everywhere.

There isn’t even a universally agreed methodology for how to handle nulls in the relational model in theory.

It’s a semantic problem that can only be solved with reference to the requirements of a particular use case, and when you do that using explicit extra columns, the problem evaporates.

Well, writing a procedure that rebuilds the complete table in Postgres or Oracle is easy as well. I never needed this, but I am sure, there are some sample implementations out there.

Rebuilding the entire table doesn't seem feasible for large tables to begin with. Especially with a lot of incoming and outgoing foreign keys.

I disagree that MySQL is the most "popular".

It might be the "most used" one because of so many web hosting services included it for ages by default.

Although this may seem like a significant drawback, it's actually not that alarming, at least not to me. While it's true that you must insert various "move mask to v0" instructions that wouldn't otherwise be there, it's important to remember that these will not really be actual computation instructions. Moves from one vector register to another will always be simple register renames handled by the front end of any high-performance chip, and I would consider it highly unlikely that you would change masks so frequently as to overburden the front end.

This is not the point the author was making.

I am an open source developer. I am familiar with the criticism. It's fine. Because a lot of software really is crap. Open Source is not a trait that suddenly makes software better.

My point was this: calibre does a lot. Many things only tangentially related to "managing ebooks". Yet it doesn't do some obvious things that are clearly part of managing ebooks. Like, managing ebooks.

That is criticism towards the model, not the software. It criticizes the lack of polish and lack of focus that many FLOSS suffers from. "Do one thing and do that well" is what I prefer.

Based on my understanding of DB storage (which is decades old and as I write the comment my explanation seems stupid but it’s what I was taught. Please someone correct me).

Image a table with the following:

id (int), title (varchar), created_date (date)

That data is stored in a similar order on disk (is this still true?).

So, if the initial insert has a title of 10 characters, then the date will get placed after those 10 characters on disk:

Int, 10 characters, date

Later, the row is updated with a longer title of 500 characters.

Because it’s longer, you now have to get more space for the title on another part of the disk.

Since there are columns after the title, it’ll either leave dead space where the old 10 character title was or it’ll need to move those other columns too.

I can’t remember which I was taught. I just remember that columns after variable columns get impacted when the data in a preceding variable column changes.

If the title were at the end of the row, the db could expand the data without needing to move other columns over (if there happened to be available space right there).

If you were updating with a shorter value, it could shorten the row by moving the terminating character to the new shorter location, freeing up the space the longer title was using.

Bottom line is you want to keep variable columns which get updated most frequently towards the end of your table structure.

Knowing which column that would be isn’t always clear when creating the table.

Again, this understanding was taught to me over 20 years ago. I’m probably remembering parts of it wrong and DB storage has likely (hopefully) advanced since then.

Wow. I don't understand this - this plane was diverted to a US airport, just to arrest the executive? Was he a U.S citizen living in some other country? If not, was he arrested because the company had customers/users on U.S soil?

Also, what about the other passengers in the plane? Annoying a bunch of passengers just to arrest one guy for working for a gambling website seems excessive, no? Or was it a private plane?
Remote work is one of the biggest labor corrections, restoring a significant chunk of compensation to workers, since the 1970s. The time saved, avoided fuel costs, and quality of life improvements are huge. The green movement and publications that support it (like The Atlantic) should back remote work 100%. The interests that leveraged the internet to create massive value for their companies don't want you to use that same internet to improve the quality of your work life. This piece by The Atlantic, an otherwise friendly source, is designed to create long established precedent for the office as a place where people gather to work, forever crystalizing it as a physical place for bodies rather than allowing it to transform to a logical collective for minds. Interesting how much work gets done on the Linux kernel, VSCode, and other projects across the globe on GitHub, but somehow we must return to physical offices? No.
Electric cars support 'charging schedules' - my utility gives me discounted electricity to charge between midnight and 8AM, and it took about 5 minutes to setup. I plug in my car when I get home from work, and it happily sits there until midnight when it starts charging (and when the grid is otherwise unstressed).
Why the snarky tone? I expect better from a debate on HN.

It's not a thesis. It's a fact of life aka reality. The only thesis about it is whether a particular coin will even exist in 50 years.

It's also a fact of life that practically no one uses cryptocurrencies as actual currency. HODL was the rallying cry as Bitcoin was rapidly increasing in value. What a nice alternative to capitalism you got there.

I went back to the office this summer for a month. I came in every day, but there was only a handful of people at any given moment. My commute is 5 minutes so I didn't really mind.

It was awesome, really enjoyed working in an office without all the distractions from home.

Then on a few days a lot more people came in and it was so loud I had trouble focusing (idiotic open-space WeWork office), and I remembered why I disliked working in an office in the first place.

For some reason in software engineering there is an insane level of disrespect for the workers. We get big empty rooms with +50 desks. The overwhelming majority weren't from my team so the ever present chatter wasn't even relevant to me.

I love interacting with people from my team, but the current office situation is simply too pathetic for me to forgo my quiet home office.

> It doesn't just mean "unknown". It can also mean "no value".

Isn't the canonical representation of known-no-value an absence of a tuple? Like as opposed to saying "There exists an employee X who works in department NULL", you simply don't make any claim about employee X working in a department? After all, when enumerating the members of a set, you're also omitting the enumeration of non-members of a set, and the law of excluded middle applies.
It's sad that we sacrificed the young for the interest of the old: traditionally, it goes the other way around.

"caste", the word you are looking for is "caste". It's not just a difference in incomes, it's a closed system for reproduction (college educated often meet their future spouse in college, and even if not are rarely willing to marry non-college educated). Closed system for reproduction plus inheritance (genetic and cultural both) is the predecessor to castes, given a few more generations of this kind of separation.
