I doubt many places had a drip machine, most of Europe does espresso coffee. It does really depend but in most places a "cup of coffee" is going to be a bit ambiguous, what kind of coffee? Just a cup of espresso coffee would be pretty full on!
I opt for colors and "flashiness" whenever there is some output to the terminal which is to be seen by me. That makes it easier to read for me. Of course, this is subjective. Most of these tools disable color output when piped (batcat, etc) which makes it easier to awk/sed them or have an options to turn of colors. Some of these tools are not meant to be piped (nnn).

For tools which require no output (autojumpers, entr, etc.), I prefer lightweight bash scripts or C programs.

Thanks for a reminder of moreutils! I'll definitely have to try vipe as that seems to fit some of my needs.

Isn't the working class almost always more socially conservative than the middle and upper classes? It's certainly true of our time. AFAICT his analysis still rings true.
Yes, the collective memory of the citizens. They were told it was okay and nothing to worry about, so they stopped worrying and went about their lives.
In light of the past few years I had entertained a thought: Is "RoboCop" what "Defund the police" would look like?

A BigCo. providing private security at scale?

Because we've had private pharmaceutical companies providing healthcare (vaccines) at scale, and looking more competent than the government, that tried to cover up the "Lab leak theory" for over a year as a complete nutjob conspiracy.

Or is it that Noam Chomsky is correct in thinking that it is a form of kickbacks, when govt funded science does all the heavy lifting, and then some well connected people swoop in to cash in on all of that hard work?

It greatly expands the space. If you’re content being @ginger@some.domain then you’re fine. If you insist on being @ginger@ginger.com then it’s still a limited resource to be fought over. But you might also be happy with @ginger@ginger.party and find that to be available, thanks to the expansion in TLDs.
The big North American chains (Starbucks, McD, Tim Hortons, Second Cup, Van Houtes, etc.) push a "dark roast" as their somehow gourmet option. In all cases these are cheap old beans that have been over-roasted so that 'burnt' stands in for flavour.

Many people have taken that experience to mean all dark roasts are bad, when in fact it's not the same thing as buying a fresh darker roast blend from a local roastery.
Sourcegraph is one piece of the puzzle but there is still a long way to go to bring google-quality dev experience to the universe that exists outside of Big-G!

I'm sure I'm missing additional awesome internal aspects of being a developer at Google, and some parts are also horrendously bad.
I agree with you. For most people 'just don't use it' simply is not an option. We just have to hope Mark Zuckerberg gets removed or the proper regulation gets introduced to make the platform better

> It actually ain't; it's only about 500 a year (out of about 200,000 total accidental deaths).

Looks like more than 2300 accidental shootings in 2020 with 39000 roughly shootings in general. Of course with a positive trend line over the years prior, 2021 and 2022 should be even worse once the data comes out. If we compare this on a per capita basis with other developed nations, the US ranks number one in per capita gun deaths. 'USA USA USA. We're number one.' Oh wait, that's bad. 23X per capita deaths in the US more than Australia is bad. We can agree that more Americans died from other causes than guns, but does that make the gun deaths any less significant or more acceptable? I don't agree that we should accept this stat and reality as all well and good, especially as nearly every other developed country is doing better than us in regards to gun safety and gun deaths. Certainly more could be done to prevent gun casualties.

I think a lot of this sentiment comes from one dark roast in particular: whatever Starbucks brews has the nastiest, most bitter after taste. It's probably the perfect blend to compliment their sugary concoctions, since there's no mistaking the strong flavor it adds, but it's (subjectively) quite awful on its own. I find dark roasts from nearly any other brand to be more tolerable, with all sorts of interesting flavors and variations.
You weren't unable to attend anything. You had an option to attend the event - get vaccinated. You chose to not attend the event. The only thing "keeping you" from it is you.
For the record Websters defines Sealioning thus

Sealioning refers to the disingenuous action by a commenter of making an ostensible effort to engage in sincere and serious civil debate, usually by asking persistent questions of the other commenter. These questions are phrased in a way that may come off as an effort to learn and engage with the subject at hand, but are really intended to erode the goodwill of the person to whom they are replying, to get them to appear impatient or to lash out, and therefore come off as unreasonable.

Your question "Have you been polled?" Is an example of sealioning. You don't actually want to know if I have been polled. You don't think any possible answer would illuminate the discussion. You don't intend to make any actually arguments to the validity of polling other than a casual dismissal. You have no intention on engaging in any actually substantial debate or discussion.

I started this subthread with substantial points with sources. Answering a manipulative insincere question with a reason why the question made no difference isn't itself sealioning.
You are welcome to try to find any other numbers, but all the evidence we have is that he is just making shit up as he goes along.

> I hope you realize that China flat out lose this one?

Not sure what you mean.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_War
This is what referred in my comment. I cannot see how China lost it? Mind elaborate a bit?

Quotes from Wikipedia:

Although Vietnam continued to occupy Cambodia, China successfully mobilized international opposition to the occupation, rallying such leaders as Cambodia's deposed king Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodian anticommunist leader Son Sann, and high-ranking members of the Khmer Rouge to deny the pro-Vietnamese Cambodian People's Party in Cambodia

China caused Vietnam to suffer from serious economic and military hardship by threatening to launch a second invasion, and by supporting Pol Pot guerrillas in Cambodia.

Although unable to deter Vietnam from ousting Pol Pot from Cambodia, China demonstrated that its Cold War communist adversary, the Soviet Union, was unable to protect its Vietnamese ally.[19]
Hahaha perfect :)
Agreed. Munchausen-by-internet is not yet a household name, but it will be after this generation.
I'm surprised there's no mention of Ab Initio, which looks like [1], in these threads. AFAIK they were the pioneer in BI ETL while everyone else was copying.

Then again, they are pretty secretive, and that may be why I can't find any videos of the tool itself in use (edit here's one [3]), maybe due to copyright takedown requests.

That software was the successor of Thinking Machines [2], which was the hot AI company of the 80s AI boom. The software itself is quite good at parallelizing logic. And, the graphical front-end makes it easy for non-programmers to pick up the tool.

> those big bales rolled up are quite heavy - and expensive

Depends what you mean by "expensive". You can get one typically for $15 - $50 / bale. Here's a website: https://allhay.com/

Prices are much higher due to the fertilizer and fuel prices. Around me It's going for $50-$55 for a 4x5ft bale (a few years ago it was $20 / bale).

That said, those can weigh quite a bit, a 4x5ft bale will be 800 - 1200 lbs depending on moisture content and field composition. A cow will eat 20-40lbs of food a hay, depending on weather (they eat less in severe cold or heat).

That equates to a single bale lasting one cow a approximately month or in reality, a heard of 30 cows needing about one bale a day.

Using today's price of $50/bale, that's $1.67/day per cow to feed (a couple years ago it was much lower, say $0.5 - $0.75).

Given it takes 2-3 years to maximize beef production AND assuming you only need feed half the year (grass fed cattle often graze), we're talking ~$750 to feed over the 2.5 year average (assuming 2.5 years @ 180 days).

In terms of meat, you're probably going to get somewhere around 450lbs of use-able meat. You have to pay a butchering fee on that as well. That's probably $700. You'll also have transportation, fees, etc (let's just say $200/head). Total you're looking at a cost of $3.67/lb of processed beef. You can then resell for $5-6/lb right now to a reseller. This is a net of around $675.

If you feed grain, you can effectively expect the same thing, but:

1. Grain fed will typically be cheaper per lb.

2. Grain will create a more tender meat (it's why people finish with grain)

3. Cows fed grain gain weight, so profit can be somewhat higher (often offset by organic nature of many grass fed cows)

4. Grain-fed tastes better to most people

There's terrible coffee though, and that's what you need to look out for. The fully automatic machines that they put in office kitchenettes that churn out dirty water without enough time, pressure, or coffee to extract flavor or caffeine.

Bad coffee I can get behind. One of my Covid era goblin mode habits is instant coffee. When I do make coffee in the drip machine, it's almost always Folgers Black Silk anymore. Meanwhile the conical burr grinder takes up counter space unless my mother-in-law visits with a bag of my favorite blend from the roaster out her way.
I'm particularly interested in whether the Rust Foundation has anything to say about this situation. I believe they're now the owners of the trademarks.
It’s called gerrymandering and machine politics. Congressional districts get a lot of attention, but state legislatures take this stuff to a whole other level.

Strategically, the democratic focus on a few issues that alienate more traditional democrats strongly amplify that effect.
It started by taking over regulation of pipelines in the 1910s. That seems like a logical step to me, but over time their purview has expanded to O&G plants and energy production. They aren’t responsible for public utilities, but a lot of the winterization plans were around upgrading pipelines that froze in the storm.

According to Wikipedia they haven’t dealt with rail since 2005, but it’s been a lot longer since the RRs were politically relevant to the office.

This seems kind of myopic. This article is about heat waves, which are not a "base load" problem, they are a problem that's near-perfectly solved by solar deployment.
I'm surprised that the article doesn't recommend an ordinary hand drill, like the one Fiskars makes, for creating pilot holes. Are push drills generally considered superior?

Yeah, it's shipped, but it's missing some existing ZK features that tooling around Kafka relied on, and I'm a bit embarrassed for Confluent that they pushed KRaft so hard without a replacement.

E.g. the ability to watch a ZK node for changes, which means in Kafka sans ZK, you can't detect changes to topics without continuously polling via the admin client.

A coworker is working to implement something like this for KRaft, but it really demonstrates how an IPO can cause a company that was the steward of a FOSS project to do things detrimental to that project to keep the share price up. (Was also interesting how many key Confluent people left right after the IPO)

The other very notable change is how Confluent's dev effort has switched from the open source project to the Enterprise Edition, but they still have the majority of PMC members, while not having the corporate blessing to spend time reviewing PRs.
The idea that people are eating soy is apparently a whole big deal to far-right-ists for some reason.
They only shut down because the price is so low that margins are slim. Not like it was a benevolent act.
I don't know why Toyota is singled out unless the power supply in their particular region of Texas is particularly strained. They can't be that significant of a percentage of Texas power demand. Reading this article, it doesn't seem clear that the heat wave was at fault:

"The plant had scheduled five days of summer shutdown next week, and added two additional days due to a global semiconductor shortage, Toyota said. The seven days of closures are unrelated to the heat wave, the spokesperson added."

"General Motors Co has avoided production cuts at its Arlington, Texas, assembly plant, but has scaled back on air conditioning, the company said on Thursday."

"Sources familiar with LyondellBasell plant operations said early Thursday the petrochemical firm reduced power usage at its Houston refinery by switching from electric pumps to steam turbines where possible."

Also, July is the hottest month: https://www.rssweather.com/climate/Texas/Dallas-Fort%20Worth... and days have been getting shorter since the solstice. We'll see slightly reduced energy demand in August and more so if we get more rain (we've had very little this summer so far, so any change in rain patterns will lower temps).
I’ve never worked at google, but if I exclusively used other search engines for the rest of my life, would I, too, be an ex-Googler?
The problem is with those polling questions that support Democratic Party issues is they are generally describing significantly softer positions than the democrats actual positions. Abortion is a good example. A majority of people when polled, will agree with abortion access being important. However, that support falls apart if you caveat the question “to provide access beyond the age of fetal viability and possibly all the way up to birth”. This is the Democratic Party’s actual position. Prior to viability, there might be majority support, but post viability and up to birth people are about 75-90% against.
Maybe they figure supplying their own (commercial) compilers to hobby users, will discourage the growth of, say, a GCC ecosystem that will be much harder to sell to big commercial clients.
These are wonderful, great work.
> Britain did not in fact "win" the Battle of Britain. It ended with a hard-fought draw, where Germany had needed a clear win before invasion.

What a weird take!

In what possible way is the stopping of the enemies goals interpreted as anything except a win?

That's like saying "X tried to invade Y, but Y threw than back. So it was a draw"

> By its end, Russia was massing its troops at the border with Germany, by all appearances preparatory to its own invasion.

It's almost certian that Stalin did not intend to attack Germany in 1941, and no evidence at all that Hitler thought he was planning to attack[1]. The opposing theory is based on Viktor Suvorov's book in the 1980s, but it isn't widely supported.

I’ll say that a lot of these countries drink coffee with sugar or milk. Sometimes a lot of both. They also expect coffee to be super bitter. That’s great if you like it that way. If you don’t, then light roast specialty coffee might be your thing.

I like how James Hoffmann phrases it. He describes specialty coffee as different. Not necessary better or worse. Just different.

They are the head of oil and gas in the state so very likely. The history is complicated to say the least. They don’t even run the railroad anymore. It’s all energy related.

If you went into a wood oven Neapolitan pizza place, huffed over the menu when you couldn't find "meat lovers" and then finally said "I want, like, normal, I don't know, East Coast pizza" you'd probably get an eye roll too. But, if you just say you're not familiar with whats on the menu, ask what's good and has meat on it, they'd probably be happy to help you find something you like. It's often about how you say something.
You know, I'm no Wall Street Journal editoralatician, but I am someone who lives in Texas.

Yeah shipping logistics as improved dramatically over the years. I live 45 mins from any city and I am constantly surprised with how quickly things arrive, usually with FedEx or UPS.

It largely has to do with different metabolic pathways for fructose vs glucose. Glucose can be metabolized in many places in the body, including directly in your muscles (glycogen) whereas fructose can only be metabolized in the liver.
Low taxes and flat planes of land that you can keep building new housing on, cheap, that makes it easy to keep growing out. Good for them I guess. But providing infrastructure for that expansion does cost something eventually, thus the struggles with increasing electricity in a state with less oversight. I find your comment pretty generic that could be applied to almost anything. California must be doing something right, because their tax surpluses are incredible. Same for lots of other states. So what, just because California has huge budget surpluses doesn't clarify if the state is serving its citizen's needs.
The best thing about Starbucks from my perspective is it gives you somewhere in most cities/towns where you can order tea that isn’t horrible.

Why not just charge progressively until people go away? You know, something like average cost to keep house at 80F at cost, 75F more, 70F more, but nothing too extreme yet. Then start charging something like 10x cost over that. Miners should just disappear themselves after that.
Have they? As far as I can tell there are now vastly more craft coffee shops than there ever were.
I believe the point is that there is more than one type of renewable energy. Using the shortcomings of one under certain circumstances as an excuse to pursue nonrenewable energy at the expense of the long-term consequences of nonrenewable energy is shortsighted.

It should also be noted that nonrenewable energy sources also face supply issues. If anything, the issue is worse for nonrenewable energy in the long term since scarcity can only increase with time. Exploration and more intensive extraction techniques only postpone the exhaustion of resources while increasing costs.

(I also find it somewhat ironic that the burning of carbon would most likely intensify the problem in the long run by increasing energy demands and decreasing the effectiveness of renewables.)
