Sure those were encountered there, but at least in my experience those are easily avoided. I have had to make test suites for this, and in my experience if you use reasonable libraries things work well.
>Now imagine one with a slice of meat that’s rare and soggy.

Bit of a false dichotomy here. I would take a medium sandwich here. Medium gets you the firmness that you’re hinting that you want for a sandwich without turning it into beef jerky.
california is also an ISO and still does load shedding. oh and Tres Amigas stil isn't done, like over 10 years later, mostly bc federal regulation held it up.

This is their plan to get more people to install stand-alone PV systems.

Thanks for reminding me of the pleasure I feel having a setup that ignores all of the work you and other like you have done in this field. Personally, this whole comment is ludicrous… but I can’t explain why. Maybe it’s just a smell

I don't think Blue Bottle does--only pour over. For cold brew, I think they sell drip.
The "functional equivalence" discussed in the past gets at some of this. There's definitely more going on than permutation symmetry; in particular, if two solutions are symmetrically related (and thus evaluating the same overall function) then ensembling them together shouldn't help. But ensembling /does/ still help in many cases.

The different solutions found in different runs likely share a lot of information, but learn some different things on the edges. It would be cool to isolate the difference between two networks...
Yeah people shouldn't use tools they find useful.
>Most of Texas can't. That's the issue.

Wikipedia seems to contradict your claim. Am I missing something here?

>The Texas Interconnection is maintained as a separate grid for political, rather than technical reasons,[1] but can also draw some power from other grids using DC ties.

The reason for a centralized local cache in Java is just because Java and jar files date back to the mid 1990s. Maven to the early 2000s. Storage was expensive. I wrote my first Java programs on a machine that had 16mb of RAM and a couple hundred mb of disk space.

Centralized caches of compiled code present all sorts of logistical issues when it comes to deployment. Java has suffered through several generations of uberjar-like designs. Python, also dating to the 90s, as a source based language tried to solve for both local and centralized trees and the result is a horrendous soup. In contrast, PHP- yet another 1990s language- had a model of just dumping files into the directory and serving them, which was comparatively simple and uniform.

Node, invented in the late 2000s by a C++ and Ruby programmer, was intended to simplify all sorts of aspects of writing webservers, leveraging in particular the deployment model of PHP (all needed files in source code in the local file tree) with the superior runtime performance and scalability, including support for async, of the Javascript V8 runtime, and with the benefit of having the same language both client and server side, something that was first tried with both Java and Javascript in the late 1990s but for various reasons failed. The other major envisioned benefit to Node was that it was its own webserver, and this has led to many other innovations.

That Windows still after 25 years of the NT architecture has a file system that doesn't scale is not something most tooling in the web ecosystem doesn't concern itself with. Node, like PHP, was linux first and foremost.

HTH.
I would rather get to work, than thinking about getting to work, or building environments to help me work. So much time wasted on bike shedding instead of just doing what needs to be done.
same, and i do many walking meetings as well. i would however like to tap some_number to add the last x seconds of the conversation into a note - either as audio or transcribed.

of course requires pre-recording consent. i could then annotate those notes later, which is helpful to me regardless (e.g. even in sitting meets, i will often take notes with a pen, and then later re-type key points (digitally) into a more focused version).

finally, any tips on microphones which filter out surrounding noise well (so the people on the call aren't bothered by my background noise)? plantronics voyager 6200 is the best i have used so far, and most reviews focus on your listening experience, rather than the listening experience of the other parties...
I'm really wishing that the innovation that language server brought to the editor ecosystem can be expanded to other dev tools.

I'd love for dependancy management and build systems to be a solved problem and not reinvented by every new programming language that has gained enough popularity that some volunteer decides to build these basic dev tools.

Imagine learning one tool and using it for every language. They all solve the same problem. What's the common interface?
This is presumably unrelated to the Bear writing app:

https://bear.app/

I have mixed feelings about generic names like this, but naming a blogging service “Bear Blog” when there is a pretty well known Bear app for writing, seems to be inviting confusion.

Or maybe someone will make a Bear theme for Bear? Or a Bear to Bear integration?
Have to agree to disagree on this issue.
In theory, though they're presumably cutting slack out of the system (and presumably making the kind of maintenance mentioned here harder to perform unless they're willing to cut them off to do it?)

Agree 100%. There's _so_ much additional information that human faces provide outside of the spoken language. It's often hard to interpret, especially over a video call, but turning that channel off completely is definitely a loss of signal.

I'd much rather develop my use and interpretation of facial expressions than ignore them.
Yeah, I'm probably around your age. I remember YouTube being great circa 2011 ish, I started getting into Minecraft mods and from that programming because of it.

Now, in 2022 I've been YouTube short (and TikTok) free for a month or so and I consider that an accomplishment lol.

The problem I feel is mindful browsing vs doomscrolling.

A lot of platforms nowadays have gotten really good at promoting mindless content with zero required attention span that's just a dopamine injection. IMO that kind of content is just objectively bad. Then again, I also follow a lot of people on YouTube and other platforms that make content that I would say is the opposite of that.
That is scary. How much time do you think is spent on encryption and secured authentication, and why don’t you think they are worth it?
I'd like to take a moment to appreciate that the first thing I saw on this page was a GIF explaining exactly what the blog post was talking about, but visually. I didn't even have to scroll down, and 60 seconds later, I had a much better idea of what this post was communicating.
Australians I’ve met all seem to think they invented something they call “coffee culture” (or at least that Melbourne did).

I don’t know why they think this because it seems to be exactly the same as Seattle in the 2000s.
I thought about that when I posted it. Here's the issue: "Hey bro, stay away from the edge" is not the advice you need to hear while walking blindfolded toward a cliff. "Stop! Stop! Stop!" is the correct advice. No matter how hysterical it might sound to the blind-folded person.

The magnitude and irreversibility of the consequences matter.
You also need to address feature inflation. Governments in Australia at least keep adding 'standards' that in aggregate really increased the real cost of providing that home.
They don't know _who_ I am
Sure, but the message after the ice storm was “look, it isn’t cold here very often, who could have foreseen it?”, and some ham-handed attempts at blaming green energy (https://www.texastribune.org/2021/02/17/abbott-republicans-g...) for bonus political points.

That’s a little harder to do with heat in Texas.
They're not only stigmatized; they're illegal to build in most residential areas.
A lot if you're posting from your Apple ][. Users should really be signing their posts themselves anyway, not relying on authentication and vouching from a third party. Session authentication is kind of silly for blog posting IMO. The problem is that message authentication still isn't common so people just use session authentication since it's easy and it's what we have.
Which blend? They have multiple, including a pretty light one that you may have mistakenly gotten. “Starbucks” isn’t a blend or a flavor profile.
You are assuming “diversity is worthwhile” is the same as “diversity alone is required for success”. No one is saying that companies can outcompete based on diversity alone. But that doesn’t mean that diversity is not worthwhile.
In fact, several companies do not even do things that have been shown to be worthwhile in outcompeting. You are assuming people in companies behave like perfectly rational automatons who will do exactly what is required to outcompete.
> Then I moved to California, and one day had occasion to drive from SF to LA. North of Bakersfield I encountered the most profound stink I’ve ever smelled while driving, and eventually I saw the source: industrial operations with enormous numbers of cattle in fenced pens shoulder to shoulder so they could hardly move.

Those feedlots are all over the country, the largest being in Colorado, Texas and Kansas:

https://r-calfusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/160125-Top-...

The one you saw in Coalinga is 19th on the list.

Also in California, you can find beef and dairy cattle roaming freely among the rolling coastal hills that never end up in a a feedlot like that, but you can bet that their meat and dairy isn't cheap. Industrial meat production is a nightmare, but when push comes to shove, few seem to be OK paying $30 for a burger.

Oh sure, and that's the entire point of the article. But even if I look at their MLB subscription and go "I can come up with 10 things I'd rather spend that money on" that's a personal thing of what I like vs. what they like. Who knows what things the author isn't spending money on that you or I are spending money on that they'd think is wasteful of us?

In general, I find it silly to look at anyone else's situation, and outside of extreme situations, try to take a "you're wrong and I know better than you about how your life would be better if you spent your money differently." position.
he is not alone in this feeling. the numbers are no longer on the site, but I remember YouGov [a British polling company] indicated that British people hold Stalin in far more contempt than they do Hitler, even in spite of the far closer proximity and impact of Hitler's crimes.

whether that polling can be trusted I do not know, but I do get the feeling that despite genuine hatred for his actions, a lot of people harbour a soft spot for his persona.

I suspect this is as or more likely a result of his abundant comic depictions as it is the characterisation as a hero-like figure manfully struggling against inevitability.
There’s a legend that a Facebook employee chose www for their username and broke all sorts of stuff.
Even worse, it seems a majority of Texans are not concerned at all or even want the grid to fail for politically motivated reasons. There is also a mentality that the government shouldn’t be telling us to raise our thermostats especially after the blackouts during the state wide freezing event last year.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operations_security

But really I think there is a lot of paranoia, I see so many people who are so afraid of repercussions that they post to HN with throwaway accounts.

I had a friend who thought she had some idea inside herself that was so dangerous she'd risk assassination if she got it out. She failed a few courses in her last semester of college so she never got her degree. She wanted to be a filmmaker, and she directed a few shoots that I was a cameraman in that were more complex than any shoots I'd ever been in.

She'd procrastinate on editing and completing films and frequently infuriate sponsors or anyone who contributed resources. She did flirt with death it turns out because she became addicted to opioids. Fortunately she got clean and she's still with us.

I'll tell you though that I saw a manifestation of unhealthy narcissism in her that was quite dangerous and when I see paranoia on the part of other people I wonder how much it is delusions of persecution, self-importance, reference, and all that.
These sentences lack too much nuance that life has.

You can do both up to a point, but it is true you are a parent first and a friend second.

The problem with the previous statement is - many situations require switching and it's extremely tough to know what to be when. My guess is, if you do worry/think about it, your kids will overall be fine.
Now they really have to back that up with action. If things do break, it'll look doubly bad. If things don't break, but other parts of the country do, they'll look good.

We may soon see which way it goes.

Nobody officially.

But he did not keep at what he did for decades without plenty of dirt on plenty of big people. Once they were confident it would not come to light, he could be disposed of.
People on the internet posting how they don’t like Starbucks?
Most of those non-critical data center loads are turned off now.

Maybe electric cars can be programmed to not allow charging when the grid is stressed. And Smart TVs must power off. Compare that with compelling people to get vaxed to help the herd. Like: social contract, for the common good, gonna kill gramps if you don't vax don't stop charging your car.
Good. Texas doesn't get to complain until Texas stops wasting electricity on virtual beanie babies.
Do there currently exist tools for transcoding the images to something which renders faster?
Hammersmith Bridge wrapped in foil during heatwave
Most blackouts in California are not driven by electricity shortages but rather by hot and strong wind events that lead electric utilities to shut off certain transmission lines in rural areas to avoid sparking wildfires. This distinction probably doesn't matter much to those who have their power cut but it is important to actually fixing the root cause.

There was a particularly nasty heat wave in the western US in 2020 that did lead to load shedding due to a shortage of electricity. That was the first time California had load shedding since 2011 IIRC, and it did not repeat in 2021.
NGL: Sometimes I do worry about the overall health of the Mozilla foundation, but moreso that if Firefox gets too far behind - we may lose out on having an open web.

This headline article is a good first step ;)
Holy cow, it's true. Never knew that, thanks so much for sharing.

You call it a scare tactic because you believe in medical interventionism. I respectfully point out one of the massive numbers of unexpected side effects of medical interventions.
You're correct that Dirty Harry was an explicitly right wing, and borderline fascist, movie. It was originally offered to Paul Newman who passed because it wasn't a good fit for him, but he suggested his friend Eastwood (a Republican) would be better for the role. The bad guy is a "dirty hippie" type, who's played very effeminate as a contrast to Eastwood's hyper masculine Harry.

I don't think that Serpico fits in that tradition at all. It's a story about a whistleblower fighting corruption within the police, and is directed by Sidney Lumet (not exactly a right wing director, thematically). The institution is corrupt, but Serpico is trying to uphold the law not take it into his own hands.

I think RoboCop is taking aim at techno-enabled state power and the military-industrial complex, not celebrating it.
Meh- I don’t think this is a case for bad coffee. It’s just like my old beer-brewing college professor saying one of the best beers of his life was a budweiser… as the cruise ship he was on was departing.

This is about experience, which is the stuff of life.

When I was vacationing in a tropical paradise, and the best coffee on the island was still in the 2nd wave, I didn’t pretend it was amazing, but I also didn’t have a problem with it.

I mean, I think I mostly agree with this person. Check your perspective when your not in the comfort of your perfect coffee bubble.
Up for me, too.
That’s fair, it’s definitely plausible that the process of becoming a billionaire does select for sociopathy or similar traits. Still, this is far from scientific, but any time I read in-depth about bad (in my view) people, I’ve always been struck by the seemingly low incidence of true sociopathy among them. Corrupt politicians, robber barons, mobsters, warlords, lackeys of authoritarian regimes—you see some who read like a list of sociopathy markers[0], but seemingly more who do not, who had people in their lives who they clearly loved, activities that brought them joy, and so on.

It’s a very different and more extreme example, but I remember being really struck by this when I first visited the US Holocaust Museum: even if some at the top were true sociopaths, many of the major perpetrators who were profiled at the museum were seemingly psychologically “normal” people who committed unthinkable acts (often because that was the way to climb the ladder in the hierarchy) and rationalized them somehow so they could sleep at night. To me that was just terrifying: I’d always sort of thought that the people who did these things must have been so abnormal as to be barely recognizable as human, but if they weren’t, what then? Then it could happen anywhere and to anybody if we don’t get serious about teaching moral courage. The Germans today know this very well, but I’m not sure Americans (and presumably others) absorbed the lesson.

I think it’s tempting to try to explain terrible people as being fundamentally different from oneself, because then we don’t have to worry about how not to become like them. It’s rather scary to think that they’re not so different, but if they’re not, we have to ask ourselves what we’d do different if we found ourselves in their position, whether that’s running a little startup that turned into a big corporation or serving in the Dutch state bureaucracy in 1940.

I don't know what issues you apparently have with your kids, but stop projecting that on the rest of us who have managed a healthy balance.
Anyone else here prefer sitting on the floor instead? It's a common practice here in Asia. Maybe it's just me but I experience less frequent back pain when sitting on a floor compared to sitting on a chair. One reason I posit is I shift my body more frequently when sitting on the floor. A chair (even an ergonomic one) seem to encourage you to stay in one position for a long time.
Because it’s a flag for nepotism.

If you accept “oh yeah, that team hires people from <pick the group>”, you’re basically accepting that whomever the head guy is likely running some sort of grift, whether that’s hiring his friends (at best), to taking kickbacks or or hiring shills and outsourcing work to some boiler room back home at worst.

Ditto for any group. Ethnic, church, fraternity, whatever. If I can hire all of my mens bible study pals, the company’s hiring process is broken. That’s why smart companies do employee referrals - by flushing out the actual relationships with cash, you avoid low quality referrals and maintain some control of who’s coming in.
There are right wing political coffee roasteries?
Texas voted 46.5% for Biden in 2020, and the outages likely impact the concentrated blue areas disproportionately. A bunch of those Texans suffering have little meaningful political power at the state level.
Honestly, they're making new cars so awful with the stupid software crap they're putting in them as it is. I really want my old car back. It was a car, not a managed-software transportation device.

Between the new driver nag software not liking my driving and randomly jamming the brakes and throwing up alarms for nothing (there's a funny shadow, you're not allowed to drive more than 10mph near it)

Now they want to charge for access. It's nonsense, I wish I'd kept my old one. It needed $1000s of work, so I decided to buy a new one, but that was a terrible decision
Commodity hardware doesn't require Windows...

Though lets be honest, they'd probably use Windows anyways and that probably would happen.
>This isn't really a problem. After all, there's no right to air-conditioning or reliable electricity service in the Constitution.

Your implication that texas republicans only think there should be government involvement in areas that are guaranteed by the constitution is a huge strawman. Further, I see no reason why you'd drag in an entirely unrelated political issue (abortion) other than to flamebait.
Mozilla is an advertiser too. You shouldn't use their browser either then.
You might return to find the plants having the shakes.
Solar panels are pretty hard on the environment and (in places with poor regulation) the people manufacturing them but once you've got them set up they're pretty fantastic (provided you don't accidentally smash them like I did my first system.) You have truly independent energy this way. Also there are consumer products like the jackery that make moving power easy for normal people so It's not hard to share with your neighbors when they need some extra too.
I'm using 102.0.1 and I couldn't reproduce it either.
My children found it very funny. I think they liked the foreshadowing of each gag as much as the gags themselves - and obviously all the chaos is previewed in the court case that starts the show.

Probably quite a smart pandemic project - few actors, almost all in one inside location. Watch it in one hit (like we did) or an episode a night with young kids, or break part-way through if young children are due to go to bed.
> It is certainly not your contention that COVID vaccines went through 3 or 4 phases of long term (years) of limited FDA trials

It seems like you're changing the goalposts here, right? You said "if they tested for longer [than 7 days], they'd be less likely to sell their products." I don't think that holds water.

> additionally millions of people have received multiple doses as the drugs are in wide release, whereas normally Phase 2 would be maybe a few hundred

Each Phase has different goals in mind. Moderna, J+J, and Pfizer are all in Phase IV now. FDA approval for Pfizer came after 6 months of study of tens of thousands of vaccine recipients.

I'm not sure what you're claiming anymore.
