"I live in San Diego, which basically has no water at all."

"So, like, what can be done here?"

At some point the answer will be water getting cut off and people moving out of these areas - and a better example than the Romans are the ancestral puebloans of Mesa Verde and Canyon de Chelly.
I think the previous poster is saying that the state was doing the bullying, which is characteristically different.
Yeah, it was pretty clear that they were paying you a decent chunk to not cause any trouble; I didn't need a lawyer to tell me that, but I agree that couldn't hurt as long as they aren't exorbitant. Honestly, it's my best piece of advice for any company that has to get rid of someone - money makes it better, and it's one thing that company did fairly well. I had a problematic co-worker who got fired in one spectacular event (like you see in movies) after getting into a dick measuring contest with a director or VP (forget his exact title at the time) after causing a serious outage. As far as I know he got a decent check out of the thing even though he absolutely deserved to be let go.
It would be great to have a global version of this for some extremely quick delivery of goods from the other side of the world. Obviously with a price to match.
What’s so bad about some titties? I ask this seriously.
Yeah, no. My 13 Pro is too slippery to hold without a case, and I'm nothing but anxiety without it. One of the primary reasons I upgraded from my XR was for the cameras, and I managed to find a slim case with a slide-over cover for the lenses.
I might have such a thing, though it has been over a decade since I did any webdev; not sure I still have the code. I was doing the backend for a project while the frontend work was being done by a guy in SF (I was in London). So remote working, all those issues, etc.

He kept delaying on giving me code until the client (and I) got upset enough. The code he gave me was garbage despite his claims of really knowing Javascript (very good interviewer...). It was horribly slow, unfinished and I spent two weeks trying to comprehend it so I could make a decision as to throw it all out or patch it.

One of the biggest problems turned out to be a function or something (details are fuzzy) that was generating a object that corresponded to the data/information the user would see in the UI. His code was not tracking whether a specific object had already been generated (i.e. no need to generate a new copy if the data was already been shown) so in the end, far too many copies of these little objects were being created - and kept around.

So it was a memory leak, but the memory wasn't getting lost, just forgotten about (if that makes sense). Enough time and the browser would get really slow, etc. Thank god for infinite RAM! (not)

Fortunately I learned my trade fixing problems with Borland's heap management (don't ask me for any details, that was 30 years ago) so I had the leet skills and patience to track down every last byte of RAM... This was before any fancy tools from Chrome were available, AFAI remember.

Never used Valgrind or know what the current state of the art is in regard to web dev / Javascript, but keeping track of RAM usage in Javascript (or Python or ...) is always a necessary task to pay attention to.
Our editions are totally different than what PG does, our goals are different, our technical approach is different, and our collections policy is different. We would rather have our own curated catalog on our own website, than be another edition lost among many in PG's huge catalog.

PG does great work and we rely on them almost exclusively for transcriptions. But we're two friends working towards to different goals.

Every generation says this about the next generation, and yet here we are with scientists in their 30s making huge advancements in things like mRNA vaccines.

If you think that laziness (what you're implying this is) will be the end of the world, there are many things that are far more urgent. No high-tech industry is collapsing because they can't find enough STEM graduates.

I don't know if they're simple, but I do think everyone's ought to exist and be at least articulable if not consistent, otherwise how do we discuss anything?

Edit: I'm surprised you would dissent to support some endeavor based on your own personal beliefs, but refuse to state or elaborate on the beliefs in question.
A paid tool in this direction is APSE (https://apse.io) which bills itself as a personal search engine that OCRs intermittent screencaps. I loved the idea, but in practice it lacked polish. I agree that additional metadata like foremost application filepath/url would take this to another level.
I think there is an optimistic way to look at this and try to help direct it on a better path, but I don't know it.

Distraction is another aspect too, yes, but this is for everyone. This problem is a little bit different.

And if some jobs got easier, you still need people to deal with the low-level stuff.

Most of it is probably batteries.
This analysis reeks of confirmation bias. You don't need one personal car for every 3 people if you were to comparing busses with self driving cars. You would have a fleet, just like you do with busses. Here is something posted a couple days ago:

https://www.npr.org/2022/07/19/1111765630/on-demand-shuttles...

15 minivans replaced 6 busses, at a cost of 1.6 million to 1.3 million per year - but with much better coverage than the busses.

Of course this equation will look very different in big cities where economies of scale from mass transit kick in， but hey, small cities need transit too.

Definitely bookmarked. I'm reading Gioia's history of jazz right now, second to last chapter. I'm also a double bassist and have played mostly jazz for 40 years after studying classical music as a kid.

Mini-review of The History of Jazz so far: It is a deluge of names, many that I recognize, but far more than I will ever remember in terms of how they fit into the tapestry. This is what happens when you cram that much creativity into such a short time period, probably similar to trying to write or read a history of computing. So I can only read it in a couple of ways: First to refute many of my misconceptions, and second, as a springboard for choosing an area to dig deeper into, either through reading, listening, or playing.

Yeah, I was being intentionally alarmist calling for it to be outlawed – I don't actually agree with that myself. I love that people are so crazy to push themselves to the limits that they do.

I would actually like to try bike touring and dream of crossing the entire U.S. by bicycle. But RAAM sure sounds like a drag.
I really would have loved doing this as a child. I'm left wondering though if actually working on a railroad would have negatively affected my love of trains I still have now as an adult. Any readers lucky enough to have worked on these railways?

You can implement piecewise-linear functions with mixed integer linear programming. (And, of course: piecewise-linear != linear.)

See eg https://web.mit.edu/15.053/www/AMP-Chapter-09.pdf for some examples of simulating non-linear constraints in integer programming.
If you were to bring on two more servers it would probably be worth it. 3 is the magic number for when k3s starts to bring more interesting stuff to the table in terms of reliability and dynamic behaviors.
It's not just the author. I noticed some years ago that a lot of people have started saying the equivalent of "3 is three times larger than 1" instead of "3 is three times as large as 1" or "3 is two times larger than 1".
Possibly. I recall nudges being a major talking point during the appointment: https://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2015/10/obamas-effort-....
> This sounds like you’re just externalising the costs of integration of your changes on to other people.

Huh? Nothing I said has anything to do with "the cost of integrating changes". I'm saying that it's more efficient for developers to work on one single task at once, instead of trying to "multi-task" among a variety of unrelated changes, and that synchronous code reviews help with this because they minimize the amount of time a developer spends blocked waiting for feedback from the rest of the team. Certainly this also has the benefit that you get fewer merge conflicts and have fewer branches in flight, but I don't know why you're saying that synchronous code reviews are "just externalizing the costs of integration [...] on to other people". That doesn't make any sense.
Nothing.

Seriously, nothing. It’s just that some exceptionally prude people think female nipples are so sexual that they must be hidden. Not sure why, they’re for babies, and that’s the only thing that sets female nipples apart from male nipples, which are not vilified for public exposure.

Unless a suckling baby turns them on, which is totally on them.

EDIT: Minor clarification
The real question is "how would we know?" To some, the very existence of fractal behavior may be the message itself - the message of infinity.
With the recent Supreme Court's decision limiting the EPA's power (unless Congress acts to delegate the specific power that the court says the EPA lacked), soon it should be possible for the Texas grid to become more reliably by increasing the us of natural gas and decreasing the relative use of wind and solar.
Ah I wasn't aware of that requirement. I thought the pop up was whenever they use cookies for anything (because that is what they make you believe).
I believe Pratt, TDOP, and precedence climbing are all just different names for the same technique that involves comparing precedences in a loop. The fact that it's basic principle is so simple is probably what lead to multiple independent reinventions.

If anything, after reading about the aforementioned algorithms, the technique in the article seems to show that using parser combinators is a lot of work for very little gain --- I've read much shorter articles on recursive descent, and those do handle precedence correctly.
I agree, I don't really think it should be outlawed.

Rather, no one should ever, ever want to do it.

I think they needed to do something like breast to head ratio, from the sounds of it the waist has got bigger, but the breast to waist ratio has stayed the same. I think if it was compared to head it would give a sense of "size" increase (if any).
So how are other countries e.g. South Korea building them faster than the US, yet not suffering nuclear accidents?

I presume the problem is not a lack of engineering talent in America.
Open Source Security Podcast: Episode 333 – open-source is unfair
One doesn't buy a gun with the intention to kill someone either — deterrence is a commonly cited reason for gun ownership.

And if every car owner decided they were going to step outside and run over someone, millions will be dead.

Vehicular deaths are written off as deaths resulting from "improper operation" bevause it's profitable to treat them as such. If they did that in aviation, everything would be "pilot error", and we'd be at 1920s level of safety.

Current traffic fatalities are by design. Vehicles are inherently dangerous to operate.

Remarkably, the US treats both gun amd traffic fatalities as unsolvable problems stemming from "improper use" (driver error / crime), which is little more than an excuse to throw hands up in the air and solve the problems (with strong towns approach to urban planning / regulation and addressing social issues that lead to crime, respectively).
Let's hope they're serious. North America is going to need a serious semiconductor expansion if and when the East Asian security situation deteriorates.
A lot of female superhero covers twist the character into strange positions so that they can show both boobs and butts. This has become mildly controversial as some of the contortions are essentially impossible for a real human to perform.

Water is very heavy. Which means moving it takes a lot of energy. Unless it’s flowing downhill, you have to provide that energy.

California is already using something like a fifth of its electricity for moving water around the state. Pumping water from Portland to San Diego would be immensely energy intensive.

Being installed as fast as the fabs can churn it out? Production capacity isn't infinitely elastic, factories take time to build. Solar is growing very rapidly, for reasons exactly like this, but it's not magic.
The problem is that any conversation around "learning Python" will very quickly disappear into strong opinions on setting up environments, the right way to structure everything, what is and isn't Pythonic, and so on. Shielding beginners from those kind of conversations seems to get harder and harder over time.
Air conditioning will not save us
I'm not sure it is useful to lump nudging on decisions users don't want to or don't know how to make in with nudging on decisions users either want to or have to make.

It's a no brainer that defaults will alter outcomes for users who aren't willing or capable of making a selection for the choice in question.
The speed limit where this occurred is 70mph. Most motorcyclists are at the speed limit. If the Tesla rear ended the motorcycle at 80mph (10mph difference) that is a life ending mistake.

As to how the driver didn't see the motorcycle, if the car is driving for you why even pay attention? Especially at night when there are so few other drivers. The whole reason to use autopilot is to interact less with the vehicle. I know telsa says you have to pay attention, but the point of the feature is not to.
I don’t see how it’s flame bait. I’m using “white supremacy” in the accepted academic sense. And the article is about how Haiti got to be the way it is. Pointing out that pop history is loathe to ascribe moral agency to non-whites seems directly on point.
Absolutely. Anything less than a salary that guarantees a single family home paid off, and a large amount of savings, within 10-20 years, is not enough to completely stop looking for side hustles that might lead to those things.
Yeah debugging or testing theories for production only bugs (without adding risk) can be a big source for "aha!" moments.
To me this is how the system is supposed to work. I mean, people moved to LA after WW2 because it had jobs, cheap real estate and nice weather.

It doesn't have cheap real estate or great paying jobs (relatively speaking to COL) any more.

Detroit's populations was doubling every decade from 1900 to WW2. Go and visit some time and see the opulent housing downtown. It was the place to be in America.

Now it's a lot of abandoned houses.

I'm not sure why our goal should be "create cheap housing in the Bay Area". The problem will take care of itself as people move elsewhere (it's already happening) and business cycles remove a lot of easy money.

We don't really have to do anything. It's a problem that will solve itself.
If you want a more recent example. How about 1966 with the counter example of Euler’s Conjecture on Sums of Like Powers.

A direct search on the CDC 6600 yielded
27^5 + 84^5 + 110^5 + 133^5 = 144^5

as the smallest instance in which four fifth powers sum to a fifth
power. This is a counterexample to a conjecture by Euler [1] that at
least n nth powers are required to sum to an nth power, 1 > 2.

And that’s the paper. They could have gone into great detail about the program used etc, but it clearly communicates what was done and the results so why bother.
It depends where you live. In Southeast Asia (which is mostly islands and beaches), the immediate effect might be entire states turning into islands and major population centers like Jakarta sinking.

The GP was saying that comparing the children's railway to IT limitations preventing graduate students from running their own WiFi networks is absolutely ridiculous.

I have no idea why natural gas was third in your list. Texas's power issues are entirely predicted by natural gas power plants failing (or voluntarily shutting down because of price spikes).

Air Conditioning Hacks
I max out contribution because my employer matches - instant 100% return. If I didn't have that I'm not sure I'd do it.
You must have missed my point. The supply is restricted due to lobbying by home owners and landlord associations, this leaves people with no choice. If you watch the video on the article I cited you can see how the investment firms operate in their own words.

This restriction of supply takes housing off the market which raises prices on what's left due to actual humans who want to own a home have to pay more.

If the amount of actual people who want to own homes remains static and suddenly we have investors buying up a ton of homes reducing the supply, prices on the remaining homes shoots up.

This leaves people with little to no choice, if they were previously able to afford a home then they no longer can and are forced to rent. Is this good for renters? It's only good for the profits of investment firms.
Statistically, the opposite is happening: human knowledge is becoming deeper. The arc of human knowledge throughout history bends towards specialization: never before in human history have so many people been educated in so many different subdomains, each different in methodology, discipline, and scope. This is evinced by rising numbers of postgraduate degrees, increasing diversity in academic specialization, etc.

This poses its own problems:

* Academically: extreme specialization increases academic friction, as closely related but distinct subdomains struggle to consume each others' results

* Culturally: we're slowly losing a very important kind of shallow knowledge: the ability to repair small things, to converse intelligently about things outside one's area of expertise, to understand more generally that we can't derive every fact about every field from a small set of first principles.

So overall, I don't think so. I think we (including the youths) have more and deeper knowledge than ever before, at the cost of important, shallow, general knowledge.

There's another issue with causality: maybe women who are disinterested in sex, for reasons that have nothing to do with their partner, are unfulfilling to their male partner, who starts to blame themselves and seek out porn? This is kind of a classic dead bedroom problem.

Tellingly, as far as I can tell, they left out analyses of the relationship between self-reported sexual satisfaction with their partner and porn use. That is, how related is my sexual satisfaction with my partner to how often I seek out porn?

Both of these types of processes play out in sex education and couples therapy settings: women who complain about men who have unrealistic ideas about sex due to porn, and don't seem to care about their satisfaction; but also men complaining about sexually cold female partners who aren't interested in sex, and so they find themselves interested in porn more as a result. It's hard to tell from the study results what's going on, or both.
