Fracking Was an Extraordinary Boondoggle
Note, title shortened from clickbaity "Hardly Anyone Talks About How Fracking Was an Extraordinary Boondoggle"
On the other hand, we just went through a once per lifetime pandemic and a once per lifetime consumer stimulus package. Supply chains are wrecked and we're in a period during which international trading patterns could massively change. Meanwhile,

* China is still purusing zero COVID.

* There's a land war in Europe with Russia effectively cut off from the Western world.

* German manufacturing, once a workhorse, is being crushed by energy costs

* much of the developing world is swimming hard against the current just to stay alive.

I don't think we are in a situation analogous to 1947, of course, and I do think we are in or at least heading into a more-than-technical recession. But "irrelevant because that only happens after once in a lifetime extremely disruptive events" is a pretty... odd... take in 2022.
Slavery is good, says the philosopher. Think of those millions of slave children that would have not existed if not for the slave trade. Sure, had their predecessors remained in Africa they would have had different progeny, but that is an abstraction; those children didn't exist. We are considering actual children who lived, and of course tens of millions of their offspring that resulted, many of them alive today. If you could wave a magic wand and get rid of slavery, would you? What kind of monster would you be to vanish and nullify millions of people who are currently living meaningful lives?

Would anyone actually agree with the above sentiment? How is it different than what this thinkpiece is putting forth? It is a post-hoc justification for the status quo.
Degrees of evil, though. Pursuing money through, say, selling shoes is much, MUCH less evil than the crimes Chevron, Saudi Arabia, and the other FF companies have committed, continue to commit, and will commit tomorrow.

No cobbler is capable of extinguishing humanity. Exxon is. What makes it worse is that they know they have this power, have known for decades, and do not care.

I cannot imagine — literally — a greater evil.

Tell me you wouldn't pay to see this.
Not necessarily, it just depends on how invested you are in the CI/CD pipeline for any given project, your preferences regarding self-hosting vs. cloud, and the amount of time you have to dedicate to the subject.

Strictly speaking, any tool or set of tools that allow you to trigger building & deploying/publishing artifacts in response to source control commits can be used to build a CI/CD pipeline. One could write bash scripts linked to a cron job that pulls a remote repository every n minutes and then performs some scripted actions to integrate changes between branches before building & publishing the artifact to a local SFTP server.

If you prefer a more mature solution with better documentation however, there is a (non-exhaustive) list of CI/CD tools on this awesome-devops list:

edit: I saw gitlab on the list and realized it is probably the closest self-hosted equivalent to the github option I mentioned previously

>He contributed exactly nothing to the story.

Or, did you just not understand what he contributed?

Why was Tom Bombadil invulnerable to the ring's power? Why was he not tempted by it? If you can't cogently answer that, I feel like you've probably just not yet understood what Tolkein was trying to represent.
Sure. Sounds like he's totally within his rights to do so. Of course, he's still probably legally obligated to write that check, and he might want to look into backup generators for his business once he greets that Texas winter...

Readers of fake news get the "correction" shown, but don't necessarily read it. ;-)
As a kid I would get bored and skip the Tom Bombadil section - it was only years later as a young adult and I was starting to get deeper into the lore that I found him to be a fascinating character, with deep implications.

Absolutely agree he needed to be dropped from the theatrical release. Would have been nice to see him in the extended edition though.
I used to own an OTR trucking company. The biggest issue for us other than finding drivers like the article mentions were the FMSCA regulations around the duration a driver is permitted to drive on a given day. We would be forced to stop a few miles short of a dropoff location because the driver ran out of driving time and was forced to enter the sleeping berth to rest. Companies like Amazon solve for this by driving in teams of two per truck so you can swap drivers, but finding even a single driver for us was a challenge. I'm curious what the current state of regulations say for autonomous trucks. If they are not capped on drive time then that alone would be a huge win for companies.
The work was not ruined. The film crew were working in a public space that the blog's author apparently had every right to be in. If they wanted to avoid any possibility of interaction with the public then they could have built a private set, but filming on a public street was presumably cheaper. I don't see why an uninvolved third party should have their rights curtailed just to save some corporation money.
I work at Stripe and I'm terribly sorry for what happened here. I have a Terminal test card that I use and that I know works. I can overnight it to you so you have it before your event. Could you let me know your address at edwin@stripe.com (or DM me on twitter at @edwinwee)?

We're investigating right now what happened here. I'd also like to dig into your other instances of shitty support—could you forward those to me?
I stopped taking the article seriously after I read this line. IMO Tom Bombadil was a very likeable character. The author seems to have imagined a problem (where none existed) and then proceeded to explain why it's not a problem. Almost a clickbait.
I think it's a mix of things.

I definitely think some readers are hoping to get some sort of inspiration for their own setups as they either upgrade or begin to WFH more consistently.

I think another group of readers simply like the voyeuristic nature of peaking into their peers workspaces to see how they might compare.

In my case, 20 years. No change in API calls in that time.

Very few errors, except in the early days. I hate them because of the complexity of the solution (I needed a relationship with a separate "payment processor" that has changed names/systems/owners five times in those 20 years) but I have had few problems with withholding etc.

But my monthly charges and individual charges are very consistent, and chargeback rate very low (but not zero).
How to Map Mega-Heat
Well you could always go with C++ but C# has a solid balance of high level features, good libraries, good tooling, a feature full (if not slick) threading mode, performance features when you need them and good interoperability with native code.

Its not always fun or sexy to rewrite a reference type to a value type to get around your GC but you _can_ do that in C#. Its a have your cake and eat it sort of language.
It doesn't support .NET6 specifically which is what parent is asking. According to the github issue it seems that the plan is that .NET6 support will be merged after godot 4 is fully released and stabilized.
Not saying this with snark, but are you claiming that "bank account balance" is a good metric for measuring whether a recession exists or not?

I'm not saying the definition shouldn't measure what directly impacts people. However, a recession is a metric of a broad economy; this breaks down when applying at the individual level. As the cliché goes, "A recession is when my neighbor loses his job. A depression is when I lose mine."
Yeah, I've gotten a lot of positive comments for my character "Tom Bombabil" in FFXIV. It's kind of an insider thing for who read the books vs who just watched the movies. Personally, I liked him just for carefree and silly he was.
I'm kind of neutral to Tom, while my brother always hated his character. I kind of disliked him on the first read, but became neutral on the 2nd. I think this was because I knew the 2nd time that most people hated him and was waiting for it to hit, but it never really did for me.
Thank you! Do you have a personal favorite?
Tom Bombadil is quite clearly what Tolkein referred to as a "subcreation echo" of biblical Adam. Oldest, fatherless, unaffected by original sin and thus not tempted or influenced in the least by the ring, literally living his life as uncontested master of a lush garden. He is Adam, if Adam had contented himself with a Gold Berry instead of that apple...
I enjoyed this quite a bit, thanks for the post. Clever, fun, even if not necessarily accurate analysis and speculation. But, that's just my two cents to add to all the other bikeshedding.
Public areas can be very easily closed off if you ask the local government, most have a form ready for it, it's very usual - and at that point you have absolutely zero rights to be there, it's trespassing. It's most likely this was the case there as well, they wouldn't be able to setup the whole shop there otherwise. And it's not cheaper, it's actually much more expensive - but the result is better.

Corporations aren't the only ones making movies, btw. And the whole "but my rights" talk when it's about a person who could've just taken a different street makes me laugh, nothing else. Is that really how you think about your day to day life, or is it just a post-facto rationalization?
>I would like to correct somethign here- it does predict structures de novo and predict folds that haven't been seen before. That's because of the design of the NN- it uses sequence information to create structural constraints. If those constraints push the modeller in the direction of a novel fold, it will predict that.

Could you expand on this? Basically it looks at the data, and figures out what's an acceptable position in 3D space for residues to occupy, based on what's known about other structure?

I will update my original post to point out I may be not entirely correct there.

The distinction I'm trying to make is that there's a difference between looking at pre-existing data and modeling (ultimately homology modeling, but maybe slightly different) and understanding how protein folding works, being able to predict de novo how an amino acid sequence will become a 3D structure.

Also thank you for contacting CASP about this.
Maybe. Hell, maybe 300 was the non-member rate, and maybe there was a misunderstanding somewhere.

Anyway, as far as the campaign (that I'm otherwise not involved in) for something dearest to me goes, I mainly took issue with the misleading implication of the these statements placed together (and thank you for asking for clarification in a sibling post):

The junction usually emits violet, but some blue ones exist too.

It's wasteful to emit UV. Fluorescent lights do it because it's not practical to tune them into visible light, but leds do not share that problem.
Yes, it does look odd.

Perhaps it should have been:

Whether that is true or not there is a big difference between what you wrote (stating an opinion) and what the other commenter wrote (appearing to advocate violence). That's why it's attracting downvotes. You're attracting them because it's obvious.
Tom represents the Great Mystery, the great unknown of the beyond that is all seeing and all knowing and all powerful. Omitting him is like omitting the whole premise of the book.

Seems logical..
they can't bc investors are scared af about what the future is. biden and his buddies been attacking oil and gas for years now then they wanna flip a switch and have everybody go back to investing in production. then 2 yrs from now they gonna go back to attacking it and straight up cancelling projects and refusing to permit shit and companies won't be able to pay off the assets.

it was a mistake to focus on attacking o&g when alternatives still aint ready yet.
Like Windows 95 that had blue screens of death every 5 seconds? And would die if you send it a ping?
Yep. Currently reads like they're going to propose... something (marriage?) "in August ban on lawmaker stock trading". Problem is that phrases like "August ban" are common in headlines, but that's not what's intended here—it's not saying "the ban that happened/will-happen in August", as in "alleged mob boss nabbed in August sting operation", but describing when they'll propose a ban.

A fix could indeed involve commas:

House Democrats to propose, in August, ban on lawmaker stock trading
Nothing says Orwellian Dictatorship like change brought by a "30,000-strong petition", right? Nothing says Ministry of Truth more than "expanding the dictionary", based on "real world examples of use", eh?

(Hint: newspeak was not adding more to the language, was not based on real usage, and was not influenced by public petitions).

Or is this you redefining "Orwellian" and I've missed the joke?

Identifying "fake news" in a non-partisan way is required for the consequences of such a law to be non-partisan, but is probably not possible with real humans. So instead you would get a Ministry of Truth that identifies fake news as that which is disapproved of by the party.

The Russian state is currently busy crushing independent journalism in just that way with their recent fake news law.
"They didn't say no"

Is not by itself justification to do a thing.
We're made to have sex too, that doesn't justify rape. We make choices and are responsible for our actions.

We can clearly survive without eating meat without any adverse effects. That makes it just another choice we make. We're responsible for our choices and can't get away with vague claims about biological dictates.
Social media is what happens if you give everyone a microphone.

The mob mentality, fake news, conspiracy theories, and so forth were all big problems in the past. Until sometime in the 20th century, lots of newspapers published that kind of stuff too. It’s an unavoidable part of human nature.

People who want regulation of social media need to realize that they really desire a return to elite control of public discourse and want the microphone taken away from many of the people it has been given to. Maybe that is the correct position — but people making that argument should realize and admit that is the case.
Totally agree! Consistency is the most important lesson in all of this.

I didn't make a single dollar until the 118th edition. 117 editions of doing it simply because I (and the readers) enjoyed this little hobby.

It also took over 400 days for the newsletter to get its first 1,000 subscribers. It would have been very easy to give up on the project in the early days when I wasn't seeing a ton of growth.

Consistency >
I personally think we're in recession and the reason is datapoints outside of this GDP print, what companies are saying, and the fact I know people that have been laid off already. What I find pathetic is that saying we are in a recession is now a political stance.

I think we all know that if a Republican were President the entire narrative would shift, with most of the press saying we're in recession while Fox, etc would say unemployment is still low which is what matters.

How did we get to a point where actual data can be outright denied or absorbed based on your political viewpoint? It's really pathetic. People will go to the ends of the earth just to protect politicians. Worse, even if we're in recession it's pretty mild, so I don't even know why there is so much handwringing about it.
This official report from the EU has useful technical details on how the US' NSA does (did?) it using fiber optic splitters at the landing stations and possibly even undersea. Storage and DPI is done in local caches. Gives an idea of how it could be done.

Though it has to be said that this aloofness is a lot easier to maintain during a war when you're as immensely powerful as Tom apparently is. Hobbits, for example, did not have the choice to remain neutral and unconcerned; the Scouring came to them.
How did you get those guests? I'm curious what your pitch is - it seems like a significant amount of work for them to provide pictures, identify their stuff and answer questions. Do they do it just because people love to share, or is there something else to it?
Haven't the oil companies stated they feel its doing more right by their investor putting the money back to the shareholders than invest in a project that has a likelihood of getting shut down by the government?
Swc will give you an AST, but you’ll still need to re-implement mapped types, type inference, template string types, etc - a large part of the TS type checker. Although, the author of swc is supposedly building a full type checker.

> This also needs a CLI.

I’m not planning on implementing one at the moment. The project goal is to greatly expand the use-cases for Typescript types by making it much easier to build custom compile targets.

A CLI means directing much more of my energy to configuration logic and file system IO. As a library, it’s clear how users should “configure” behavior - write or subclass a compiler target and implement whatever you want!
Adding on: and sometimes, even when they manage to make an interesting point, they've gotten so lost in their appraisal of their argument that the philosophical question ends up not even being the one they actually care about.

To that last point, I've lately seen a lot of arguments for abortion being ethical/unethical that end up just being modified Trolley problems. One I saw that stuck with me was: "Suppose there is a fire in a building. You have a test tube of 1000 human embryos in one hand, and a 4 year old girl in the other. The only possible outcomes are you saving the vial or the girl, or neither. Which do you choose?"

I thought this was an interesting take, since it reads as a very different situation depending on your view of the embryos!

A "pro-life" person would clearly interpret this as a modified trolley problem. You have 1000 embryos who could become people but cannot feel pain or terror or [etc] right now (or at least not in the same way as the 4-year-old). Or you have a 4-year-old who can, and will suffer greatly. This is quite trolley-esque and while this one seems to have somewhat of a likely-correct answer, it's certainly not without some complication.

Someone who thinks the embryos aren't yet people or persons will see this as a much less interesting thought exercise - of course you save the 4-year-old, the vial is just some cells that clearly don't even have consciousness yet.

And there's even a whole swathe of positions in between who will assign some amount of humanity to the embryos and attempt to resolve the quandary between the embryos vs the 4-year-old.

But, as interesting as this is, it completely misses the point of the original question-poser. Regardless of which option you pick as correct, it doesn't really inform us much as to whether abortion is ethical. Going back to my main point of bemoaning the dreadful state of the average internet argument.
I've built a few custom engines over the past decode, also shipped a few games. I've lately been working with Bevy in Rust, and I really absolutely love it. It's the perfect framework (for me). Bevy gets out of the way enough where I don't feel like I have to fight with it, which is what always annoyed me with actual game engines. Plus, I love working with Rust.

How does the claim that animals are sentient make the word meaningless?
Then why is the Biden admin bragging about lowering prices this summer?
I've stumbled upon some of the same thoughts: cows would be fucked if we stopped eating beef; animals wouldn't give two shits about devouring my ass if the conditions were right, turnabout is fair play; fuck crabs; etc.

But I also recognize some the points raised by vegetarians/vegans: we do eat way too much meat; we do treat livestock horribly; fuck crabs; etc.

And I think the answer is closer to vegetarianism than it is to all meat all day. We should eat less meat and probably far less beef, but we eating some is fine. Especially due to the B12 issue. It's something our bodies don't synthesize and our best source is animal products.

It would also let us slowly cut down the cattle livestock as we wean off of beef to lower levels.

Of course, the problem, as always, is "the growth mindset". That we always need to be improving everything quarter after quarter. If you sold 100 hamburgers today, you need to sell 200 tomorrow. How about we sell enough to be profitable and you know, just like chill the fuck out for once.
