Sure, so in my mind there are two kinds of grid stabilization, I'll call them short term and long term.

Roughly speaking, short term stabilization helps deal with fluctuations in demand over the course of a day. The Hornsdale Power Reserve[0] is a good example, it's basically a big bank of Lithium Ion batteries. This allows us to handle, say, everyone in Australia turning on their AC when they get home without needing blackouts to reduce load. At night, excess power generation can then refill the batteries.

Unfortunately this is not a workable solution if total demand per day exceeds total power production per day for more extended periods (think weeks). This is precisely the problem that can occur with solar or wind. Lithium Ion Batteries are not suitable for storing large amounts of charge over longer periods. We would instead like a battery that can perform longer term storage of power at an affordable price during winder and sunnier periods.

I'm currently excited by the approach taken by Form Energy[1] for what is called a Rust Battery. If they get it working this essentially allows us to trap and release energy through an extremely cheap and scalable chemical process. During a sunny summer you could potentially store enough excess power to get you through a very cloudy winter.

> So a party that wins 35% of the vote gets 35% of the seats. And those seats are expected to vote as a block unless there is an extreme question of conscience.

Yes, essentially we can just keep the main leaders of each party and assign them everyone's votes from their respective parties (35% in your example) that "won" and get rid of everyone else and end up with the exact same outcome, except orders of magnitude cheaper and more expedient. If you're a member of x party and x party won, why are you actually needed if you're not the leader? Your salary, benefits, retirement and as well as every single person on your staff are all a waste at that point, because you're going to vote for x's position, which is decided by the leadership.

I don't think this defines what a false credential is, though.

It defines how one might illegally use one, or issue one, or falsely claim to have a real qualification, but I don't see a definition of a false credential.

It sounds like a false credential falsely claims to be accredited (ie. if I were to issue degrees from Harvard), which is not what the OP institution is doing, so this discussion is possibly moot.
Ignoring the piracy aspect, I don't really understand this mindset. Why must you own a piece of media in perpetuity? Do you value things like going to a live concert where you only get the experience? IMO most Hollywood content made today is really not worth watching a second time.

Yes, hence having its own column on cppreference, or a special flavour of bitcode for watchOS.

In what concerns Apple, I think they mostly care about the C++ support needed to keep LLVM going, the C++14 based dialect for Metal Shading Language, and the subset used across IO and DriverKit.

For everything else there is Objective-C and Swift.

Then Google apparently drop off clang after the ABI break votes didn't went the way they wanted, so they are now focusing on Abseil, and their style guide is anyway quite restrictive.

So now we are in this ironic situation, that VC++ from all compilers is the one with best C++20 support, closely followed by GCC, and then there is clang and the other lesser known ones still lagging in C++17 and earlier.
I agree. Mushroom growing needs to be hygienic but depends on conditions that are not normally considered hygienic. Having some help in terms of the inputs and conditions would provide reassurance.

Serious question to HN folks: As someone who has never used the touch bar (Air/Mini), do you think it adds value?
Coke literally had a small amount of cocaine in it, as a stimulant, prior to new coke being released. It was grandfathered in, still allowed at that point.

New coke was released, because they were being forced to change their formula. Some say they released new coke, knowing they'd have to re-release old coke, but that by that time the average person would not accurately notice the taste change.

A friend of mine, a coke fan, kept a case of old coke. He tried the newer-old coke, side by side...

It didn't taste the same.

Some say new coke was a wild success. Loads of media attention, and they dropped the formula change in without notice...

In 2007 I was in the US Army, deployed to the Middle East. (My memory is a bit hazy, it could have been my 2009 deployment instead.) Netflix was shipping DVD's to rent but they wouldn't ship to my APO AE address. I discovered that Blockbuster had a similar program, and they would ship to my APO AE address. So for six months or so, I was renting movies from Blockbuster on the other side of the world.

The issue was that LLVM codegen produced buggy output with strict aliasing, but this wasn't really caught until Rust since Rust can use it several orders of magnitude more frequently than C / C++ frontends would.

AIUI, the solution wasn't that Rust smuggled the language-level construct through the intermediate layer, but that they simply held off on expressing these constraints until bugfixes could be merged upstream into LLVM. The only downside to disabling this was simply that compiled code would potentially be a bit less optimal than otherwise, so such tactics weren't really necessary.
so if you run a shitty business or a scam you just don't opt in?
There's some amount of the physical feedback you get in a real plane (from resistance in flight controls to actual physical sensation of the movement) is not something you can get without a lot more sophisticated sim setup than most people will have at home and then also as you mention the model of the flight characteristics not matching the real airplane
Knowledge about monads is more prevalent in some FP circles, but it's not common in all FP circles, and it's not unique to FP.

To give you an analogy, tensors are maybe more common in Python than in other languages because of the datascience happening in that community, but that doesn't make tensors a Python thing, and Django folks probably don't care about it.

An example of monads being used in other languages would be all the stream libraries having a flatmap operation somewhere. They don't call it "monad" so they can't brag about it on Twitter, but they're still using it.
I think it's a mix of cynical PR campaigns and honest activism, and I'm not smart enough to say which is the biggest factor in each instance.

Separately, the honest activists are often lying to themselves, in the sense that their real motives are not what the they tell themselves and others.
Possibly, the reference is the Fluxus art community.

Ross got a raw deal. I think 15yrs would have been reasonable
I think it was the overall idea of it that stuck with me. We seem to be naturally geared towards a gift economy, like the person above described with the cabbages or sharing drinks with your buddies.

A lot of clashes in the world seem to be capitalism not meshing with those expectations.

A celebrity who is paid millions to be in a movie can be hurt by someone on twitter, with 200 followers insulting they're performance. The person should have no power over them, but does. Maybe that is because it feels like the gifts in the village thing and having your cabbages rejected by a neighbour.

It's not that Star Wars was the first movie to use science-fiction for mythological or religious themes but Star Wars is the first I know of famous for being inspired by Joseph Campbell. Joseph Campbell claimed all myths follow the same formula which he called the monomyth.

You look at the poster of Tron and it's Luke Skywalker imagined as a computer program with the pose and lightsaber glow from the Star Wars poster.

If you buy Joseph's Campbell's claims that all myth follows a formula then adventure film making is about casting a Luke Skywalker Monomyth figure in a difference setting (wild west setting, computer setting, crime ridden urban setting, samurai setting etc.) and just telling the same story over and over and claiming you are doing something spiritual.

I don't particularly buy that view of filmmaking but I see the director's comment about Shamanism in that context seeing as Tron seems to borrow a bit of inspiration from Star Wars.

Right, I'm just saying I think it's reasonable to expect + to be kind of isomorphic with different representations of the same thing.

Let's say f(x) gives some alternate representation of x. Then f(3) + f(1) should be equal to f(3 + 1). Under this interpretation, f(3%) = 3/100 etc, so that 3% + 1% = 4%.

But you could certainly argue that the idea of equating 3% with 3/100 is simply wrong. I like it because I like to think of "per" as meaning "divided by", and we generally use it that way when we use units like "metres per second = m/s = ms^(-1)".
Fair enough. Can we meet in the middle and agree that this action, whatever the exact name, is of comparable moral badness as theft? :)
I miss Blockbuster. We had a small haven here called Family Video, but they unfortunately closed down due to the COVID lockdowns/lack of foot traffic. It was my family's spot to grab a Friday night movie and snacks, even through the pandemic. We were super bummed to see it go. Streaming just doesn't match the experience of browsing movies IRL. We'd usually leave with a few movies to watch that week, including a kids movie for the kids. We typically give up on endlessly browsing Netflix/etc. for something interesting and fall back to our "usual." Boring.

Hoping similar stores make a resurgence someday.

We pay for TVs (the physical objects), and most of them are still riddled with ads. They will double dip if they can. The reasoning won’t be “if we charge them this much we can drop ads and not lose money”, it will be “if we charge them this much we can have it on top of however much we are doing with ads”.
> won't result in a renaissance for peer to peer

This horribly written law can easily be interpreted to apply to ISP's as well - so if the ISP is allowing these peer-to-peer systems that allow "unsafe" content to be shared, they're liable for it too, or they have to shut down the peer-to-peer systems.

Which again, is the point - to turn the internet into the easily regulable cable TV that they already understand.

> ... 90% of the time these mismatches come from a lack of or a flawed communication.

It's important to think about how the communication is failing.

The customer/manager might be comparing your performance with others who are faster or cheaper.

Some might have more technical experience than you; and are in effect asking you to explain and justify your solutions.

Or, they might not understand or care, while still being convinced that you are underperforming ("being incompetent").

In previous jobs where we were negotiating with non-technical people, they'd actually negotiate at the business requirement level: "if we take out features B and C, how much would that reduce the cost?"

That to me seems like a far more reasonable negotiation strategy.

To tell someone how they should be doing their job, I find, is disrespectful.

But I agree, putting someone more emotionally capable between the team and the customer is probably the best way forward there.

I've read Shop Class As Soulcraft, and the resemblance is superficial. Again: my issue isn't that there's ideology mixed in with the practical stuff; it's that the school is overwhelmingly staffed with ideologues that don't have credentials or practical experience with what they claim to be teaching, that the school doesn't produce a credential relevant to the trades it claims to serve, and that it costs quite a bit more than community colleges that do provide those credentials, facility, and faculty.

How are the currencies traded?

US Bank A maintains an account with British Bank B but it’s dollar account

Now an American business with account in Bank A is paying a British contractor $100 in Bank B

So Bank B is going to subtract $100 from Bank A’s Dollar denominated account and add GBP 84 to the British contractors account. What happens in between? How did those dollars become pounds?
Prepar3d uses the MSFS X engine, so 90%+ of mods/add-ons for MSFS X/10 work for Prepar3d.

MSFS X is, like a lot of games, a warmed-over version of a previous game engine, with improved directx support and tweaked to run on the latest (at the time) version of windows. I forget if it has it's roots in MSFS 3.0, 4.0 or 2002, but it was a pretty old engine in 2006 and has gotten a few updates over the last decade but is pretty crufty and when you play it, unless you have $300 of after-market add-ons, is very obvious it's old, especially compared to x-plane etc

As the other guy said, the people still heavily invested and running the modding scene for a 20 year old video game are... esoteric.

Playing MSFS X as a newcomer at this point in time is mostly to inspect a historical artifact, but it's a very detailed simulator if you want to take off in a 747 from LAX and fly it to London or Moscow non-stop.

At least, when there were 30 independent Blockbusters left. Now it's probably pretty chill.

Yes they do, if they have reason to believe you will break US law (I.e. smoking weed) they will not hesitate to cancel your visa and put you straight back on the plane.

They've shown that multiple times in their border control TV show.

The episodes I saw:

There was an Australian girl (admitted to smoking weed on a previous trip) - put straight back on the plane, visa cancelled, and a German guy- on his way out got found with a speck of weed, admitted to smoking weed - got his visa cancelled and told he'd be refused entry if he tried to return.

They basically say "we are federal officers and we enforce federal law". In terms of visas if you provide reason to believe you will break the law, then they have the right to refuse you entry.
From what I understand it was proven that he solicited, which is a crime in itself, regardless of whether or not it was carried out.

But I'm not going to create a page for a realtor and submit a review because that would make me the target of his/her company.
