That's fair, but I'd think the issue was less about copyright and more...trademark infringement? Since they're selling as "Standard Ebooks", I think there's reasonable grounds for confusion that someone browsing the Kobo store might see one of the books being offered as coming from you and make a purchase as a kind of donation, thinking that it's going towards SE's upkeep rather than into some random's pocket.
Excellent video channel, I follow it as well.

By the way, natgas is actually much friendlier (well, less hostile) to the environment than coal, if you're looking at carbon/kWh or all of the other things released into the atmosphere when you burn coal.

However, you can much more easily make a giant mound of coal next to your power plant, than store up enough natgas (LNG is much more expensive to store). So, the power plants required natgas to show up in the pipeline, and when the temperature dropped and everybody cranked up the heat, not only in Texas, the natgas pressure in the pipelines dropped. Oil (liquid) and coal (solid) are just fundamentally easier to stockpile than natgas or wind (gas) or solar (light).

A big freakin' battery would help with this, but that isn't a cost-effective option (yet?).

It's laughable to think every small company has infra/DevOps/platform teams.

Also, in general, it's very useful to know the platform your software is going to be deployed to, so that you can design the software with those constraints in mind.
Something that just flies an aircraft straight and level is still an autopilot, so I don't think it's a totally inaccurate metaphor.

Ironically in these situations a more understated name would probably work better for PR. Headline of "Tesla on cruise control rear ends motorcycle on freeway, killing rider" gives a much stronger impression of it being the driver's fault.

I'm all in favor of wind power in Texas, and want more of it, but it did do worse than expected in Feb 2021. It's just a problem to be fixed, not a reason to drop wind power (west Texas has a lot of wind), but it did actually happen.

They only said that if your goal in cycling is to get fit and health benefits then it makes the most sense to get a comfortable bike.

I think it makes sense to fight back against the common recommendations you get from bike communities who are obsessing about weight and efficiency. If you are seeking to get fit by riding a bike, get a heavy bike. You'll do more work and you'll get stronger.

Humans are pretty complicated and arousal is a dynamic and malleable, biopsychosocial process. The individual differences, variability is what makes humans so successful.

There is however truth to women relying on emotional context more for arousal, but remember it's a biopsychosocial process, so some of that is malleable.

Within the erotic fiction market stories with an emotional context tend to do better with both men and women, however men are less sensitive to the lack of such context. Erotic fanfiction is also very popular with women, reportedly because the characters and their relationships are already fleshed out. Also lesbian erotic fiction is two different market, men and lesbian women tend to like different stories. Stories that turn men into women (feminization, genderswap) are somewhat popular, but have a cis woman dominate a cis man and the readers vanish. Most women (more than 95%) don't care for it, even if a lot of men do (around 25%), however most of those men prefer watching femdom porn. You can sell maledom diaper age play erotica with shapeshifters or aliens, as long as there is a relationship to be developed between the characters, the female readership is there for it. The 18th best seller in erotica on Amazon is a monster romance book about milking monsters for a living, specifically because it's a love story between a human and a minotaur.

People are conflating consistency of a design system with consistency of ux metaphors. I worked on the team that built the new home page dashboard and my experience with the components and associated guidance was excellent.

It is not the fault of the design system that service teams, for example, created 5 different interactions for deleting a resource.

AWS leaned hard into building as many services as possible, at the expense of console ui consistency. There is now a swing back toward consistency, and I expect to see more improvements at the "consistent metaphors" level soon.
No, this is high speed train so it's shorter. My numbers were off both by 20min though, I searched harder numbers and the flight is 53 min while the train is 1h50min, but luckily that doesn't change my overall comparison.

You live in London as you said. That's a totally different experience from a local domestic smaller airport in Spain. Budgeting 30min for a domestic flight (no traffic, no check in, no passport, 2-3 min walk to any gate, literally just the security check) is enough, if you want to be extra careful sure plan to arrive 1h early, but every time I've regretted it since then I had 50 min to wait.
Yes, though this is for the practical purpose that having a bunch of sailboats trying to stay completely still is a recipe for chaos.
No. Kubernetes is extremely valuable to small orgs. Google Kubernetes Engine is pretty much fire & forget. You turn it on, set the maintenance window and it just works. It also saves you from having to reinvent health checks, ingresses, etc. It's actually less work than maintaining plain old servers when you factor in maintenance, and since state is immutable you don't run into issues where some developer fixed an issue 3 years ago and no one knows why it works.
Tell that to the California high speed rail project. Or pretty much every other city's municipal heavy rail. Or municipal broadband.
Random fun fact about the origin story behind NFL Sunday Ticket is that it was aided in creation by Jon Taffer, the guy thats famous for Bar Rescue. He was the sports bar operator of the year in the 1990's and then was approached by a satellite communications company and came up with a plan to present to the NFL. NFL liked the idea so much they decided to do it on their own and put Jon Taffer on the advisory board.

The prevalent question, upon which the externalities here capitalism simply cannot not assess. If this ever "took off," it would cause great havoc & destruction for many many real needs.
This is such a good analogy that it sounds like an interesting event in itself.

Because the little guy is not worth sh* and if "you" put your trust in a "good-will" company sooner or later you will find out how much you are worth to the said company. Hint: not much
Not a (speed) cuber, just a guy that uses the memorized algorithms to do it slowly when my mind wants something to distract it.

What makes me curious is the variance in how the cubes are initially scrambled. Surely some cubes are easier to solve than others? So I have to believe there’s an intersection between skill AND luck of the draw?

As a tournament watcher, these things go so fast, there’s no real build for the spectator either.

Why don’t they do “here’s a paper bag with 10 scrambled cubes—solve em all!” This would reduce the outset variance and allow for some excitement to build in the room. At the rate these guys go, it would still be over in 2 minutes.

Those looking for a slower pace could still watch a chess tournament if need be.
Your argument seems to be that GNU has failed because it isn't the majority choice for general purpose computing systems.

Correct me if I'm wrong, because that makes no sense at all.

Originally, the term has really been just opposed to batch processing, in connection with systems like Whirlwind, SAGE, the DEC PDP-1 (as the first commercial real-time system) and is tightly connected to the idea of interactive computing. (Another early real-time system outside of the MIT tech path was MIDSAC, 1953.)

Compare Digital founder Ken Olsen's use of the term in his oral history, "The original computing was based on the way people had done computations before. You'd collect all the data, bring it together, process it and send the answers back. The idea of processing it, real time, took a long time to develop. In the world of commercial processing, it's just in the last few years that batch processing has started to disappear. The replacement for it is now called transactional processing, where if you make a transaction with a bank, it is instantly taken care of." (https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/10263035...)

There are many applications to this, each coming with their own set of implications. E.g., if you want a smoothly running interactive program on an early PDP computer, you want to have program paths of about equal runtime duration. Which may mean in turn that you would want opt out of no-operation paths as late as possible, by this stabilizing run-time, rather than as early as possible. (E.g., we perform calculations anyway, but apply the result only under a certain condition.) Or, if it is about complex processes, where it may mean that we will fulfil a contract in a guaranteed span of time to facilitate cooperations of any kind (e.g, what Olsen calls transactional processing or matching sampling rates with digital computers as a replacement for analog lab computers). Or it may be bound to a particular domain, where stale data isn't of any use (e.g., compare Whirlwind's origin in a digital flight simulator.) Or it may be just about a system being able to respond to input at all.
Right but they’re implying that statistically, they don’t have a pile of said research on their desk that they’re pointing too.

What? I’m pretty sure the reason we don't have a nationwide power grid has nothing to do with "we don't have anywhere to put the wires!"
Nice, thanks for sharing.

A few points stroke a chord. Specifically...

The definition of engineering manager who doesn't know how to do stuff and it's solution is very wishy-washy. Based on experience, this works in some contexts but not all. I think the author's hearth is in the right place, but the way it's explained is very short sighted. In other words this makes me think the author has never worked with an eng manager.

Layering: good problem to solve, solution? In theory, but in reality this is also very difficult to balance (e.g. from experience, especially when moving above 150-200 ppl working in the same area).

Too many meetings: very good problem. Solution? Partially meaningful. If you want to generalise, my take would be to make things async as much as possible. Collaboration between teams might be needed, and perhaps healthy. When you don't have collaboration you end up not knowing what's going on (i.e. isolating teams) and risking pulling meetings over and over.

Software definition; mostly agree, but again, the solution is much more complex than what the author leads to believe. Also assumes you have testers and product will be happy to sit through each ticket revision. This problem is solved by anticipating these requirements way way earlier than that.

Software delivery: are we talking about technical debt or what? If that's the case, the solutions (20%) make no sense. That's where you start diving into each single problem, breaking them down by priority, involving product and making sure things are tackled at the right time.

The rest seems to be good.
It's very easy to turn the smartphone into a reasonable creation tool, the trick is not act like the world ends at the bounds of the device.

Seeing smartphone software as the complete editing tool - in the mold of desktop software - isn't that interesting, creatively speaking. It's very precise to use software in that way, to emulate professional workflows from generations ago and create all sorts of shortcuts and configurations. But it only affects decision-making workflows in a limited sense, because what the precision mostly does is pull you down the road towards polishing your output more and more, making smaller and smaller edits with more and more layers. Why are you polishing it? If you exit the software and change mediums, you can actually accomplish more with less, because then you can just accept the limitations and finish. Software is often at its best with mixed media approaches where it supplements a few tasks with a light layer of edits, a data processing step, or a preliminary design iteration. But there are many traditional techniques and technologies that don't need it, or amount to "we strap some AI onto it to turn an imprecise machine into a precise one".

The consumption-device viewpoint of the phone is an invention of the software industry. The reality is that people are doing a lot of productive things just by turning the phone into a portable scanner or audio recorder. It's already the fastest way to grab references for most media. If you set up a Bluetooth keyboard and a stand, the small screen works fine for typing up run-once code to solve immediate problems. The things blocking creativity are a combination of the software ecosystem being unready to deprofessionalize itself and exit the industrialized "app" model(and it is unready - we have a lot of maturation to do still to automate programmers out of their jobs), and the atmosphere of social media to engage in rat races for likes and follows, which is caused through incoherent models of assigning credit and blame, poor mechanisms of identity management, etc.

Hm, I tried comparing the simple.hs vs simple.py (with ghc 8.10.7 which I happened to have here, their stack.yaml uses 8.10.4) and it's 5.7s vs 1.9s, not quite as stark a difference. Maybe because I'm on Linux?
Good point - updated the question.
The stories may be public domain but your arrangement, and more importantly your trade name are protected. You may not have the desire to take action like a dmca takedown, but you're definitely within your rights to do so.
Right. So spend time designing plants specific to local build codes, environment and terrain, paying architechs, examining land conditions, paying legal and lawyers, all to get permits to build, when you can wait until after, and do the same?!

Sure, companies love to spend hundreds of thousands on unknowns, for no real reason.
Improving AirTag battery life is the first thought that comes to mind for me.
What matters is the ratio of autopilot vs human driver accidents. And in that area, the highly cherry-picked and curated test results from Tesla sound absolutely convincing!

Actually, scratch that: what matter is that the autopilot sounds cool and high tech. Given that, who cares about the casualties?
The rents are not getting cheaper so I believe the sale prices won't go down either.
You can argue or disagree all day long about what OS is best for development, but it's not reasonable to think that developers on MacOS would only write code for MacOS servers.

You can very successfully write code that runs on Linux on either MacOS or Windows, depending on what you're developing.

Probably not a big deal, but just seems pointlessly narrow to think all developers would or should prefer actually developing on Linux exclusively.
Assuming this goes through (whether it’s Apple, Google, Amazon, or whoever), I could see this becoming a cultural tipping point where your ‘average American’ sees the encroachment of big tech into ‘everyday American’ things - more than ever before. All cultural interactions will now be dominated by big tech, whether it’s sports, film, music, or literally anything they see through a screen.

I don't live in CA, but forcing low or fixed income people out their homes just because their property increased in value which is often outside their control is not good.

From my understanding part of the problem also is even landlords and businesses benefit from prop 13 and same with people that own multiple properties. Honestly, I think something like Idaho's Homeowners Exemption is better. The owner has to live in it to qualify.
https://tax.idaho.gov/i-1051.cfm

Also states like Nevda have done some other interesting things like letting family farms get a Limited Allodial Title for a period in time before stopping. I just think prop 13 was not planned out very well and applies to too many entities, but the idea of not wanting to force people out their homes is certainly a problem other states worry about.

Can’t imagine a significant number of users ever accepting this solution, there’s too much hassle involved.

They will just move onto another less bothersome game that doesn’t require it, and that game will eat the webcam-required always recording game's market share.

It’s mostly an issue with games or java apps or electron using Gtk dialogs. Those apps don’t feel native anyway, but the areas where they interact with the OS at least should feel native.

I don’t care about Gtk apps themselves, because I just don’t use any proper Gtk apps (I want my apps to be customizable, after all, and I build my own programs to be customizable too).

Why is it always Gnome developers and fans who hate any attempt to make Gnome apps look and feel more like other toolkits? No one expects Gnome apps to work 1:1 like Qt apps, but it feels like every step in the right direction is met with constant hate and objections.
You bring up a valid argument but, unfortunately, it cuts both ways.

CPS is failing because it’s severely understaffed and underfunded. It’s hard to find dedicated abusers or even just neglectful parents when you have thousands of cases, few social workers, and computer systems from the 1980s. It also allows apathetic and downright sadistic people to keep their jobs, because you don’t have the resources for proper oversight or the competitive job offers to replace them anyways.

Most CPS workers have good intentions, and would be competent. Except that they have to take on way too many cases with limited resources.

the cult of Priapus it's very old, it was born in ancient Greece and the story says that he was the son of Aphrodite and another god (some say Dionysus some Zeus himself) and Hera, jealous of her unfaithful husband, gave him a grotesque look and a giant phallus.

It became an auspicious of fertility during Alexander the Great and an important figure in Roman mythology.

So he was born cursed, but then honored.
