I must admit to not being an expert in the matter - but it seems odd to expect inverters to spontaneously desync. Grid-tie inverters take their cue from the existing grid presence, so it's not like we'll have a grid full of inverters attempting to drive their own frequency slowly getting out of sync. I don't actually know how they work, but presumably they will attempt to match the available frequency at their outputs within some tolerance of their own notion of 50/60Hz (eg. they want 50Hz, if grid is 50.5 they will match that, if grid is 51 problems might start - but that's a bit contrived)

A grid without rotating generators would act differently, for sure, as you won't have varying frequency to indicate if the grid is overloaded - you'd have to rely on different measures to understand how close parts of it might be to failure.

"Bad actors" in the grid can already cause severe problems regardless of spinning generators; if a power station goes offline the unexpected load spike can easily trip off most of the grid anyway. Smaller, distributed generators/inverters if anything are more reliable, as a fault in one is less likely to constitute an outsize portion of power generation. "Grid inertia" today is largely a result of the total machinery attached to the grid just massively outweighing any individual actor.
I remember reading the data sheets for various computers, like IBM or Sun machines. I later worked for Sun, and I think those data sheets is one reason I joined.

Surely someone must have collected scans of these data sheets somewhere? I'd love to look through some of them again. There is some on bitsavers, but I'd like to see some more.
The real theory page, Marxist cultural analysis, is mentioned by name in the first paragraph of the conspiracy but not linked. I don’t know how wide spread this is on Wikipedia but there are a few of these examples that are very concerning and if our court system is utilizing it as suggested that is a worry.

Yet another issue that mass information has created that solutions haven’t yet come up with.

I use (a lot of) NRT, gum and lozenges. I started due to its nootropic benefit (likely self medicating my ADHD years before I got a diagnosis), without ever being a smoker. It is definitely addictive. Probably not as addictive as tobacco since there's less of a ritual and culture, and there aren't the MAOI components which apparently enhance how addictive it is.

I've tried to quit a few times, and haven't done so yet. And it is harmful in large doses, the few times I gone more than a couple days without it, I get a tingling sensation in my hands and feet as my circulation improves, since nicotine in large doses is bad for your circulation.
You don't need OOP plus another paradigm to do automatic differentiation though. I've implemented automatic differentiation, albeit "simple" versions and only forward-mode at this point, but there's really nothing special about the implementations.

Logic programming, on the other hand and for example, needs something much more substantial to be implemented as a library in an existing language, such as backtracking, unification, or the full-on Warren Abstract Machine.

If someone has a clear example of differential programming that is different than just using automatic differentiation as a technique or library, then that might help.

you shouldn't. you should push for public transit expansion and looser zoning that allows for businesses to be closer to homes.
> Is there any region that “lives within its means” for all resources? Why is exporting or importing water so different from electricity, or food, or clothes, or iPhones?

Changing the water supply changes the environment of the entire region. It's needed for human survival. Surely you can see how that's different that exporting more or fewer iPhones, right?
Because you implied in your statement that having kids is due to a lack of reflection, rather than due to reflecting.

I'm pointing out a fork in the road in mindset.

Think it's probably more because unlike other Anglo jurisdictions, American lawyers can take matters on contingency, whereas at best UK/AUS/NZ lawyers can take them with conditional costs that significantly limit upside to the lawyer. This is also why the UK/AUS have such well developed litigation funding industries compared to the USA.

Bonds are a way of printing money, debt in general is how money is printed weirdly enough.

Yes, it’s empty dogma. Do you believe in their spiritual and cultural practices?

What gives you the right to welcome anyone to a country that you, by your own admission, do not own?

Are you going to give it back, or not? If not, then stop trying to guilt others into participating in your empty, hypocritical posturing.

Do you have an argument for your empty religious platitudes or not?

So far, it seems “not”. “Yikes” and “woah” are not arguments.

This paper does much of the modelling for that: https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(19)30300-9 (although it's from 2019 so renewnables costs have dropped significantly).

Basically if you have 5% of electricity generation from non-renewable sources (eg gas fired peaker plants) then electricity costs fall and you only need storage at $150/kWh (which is available now).
Docker has documentation and user interface that is at least several orders of magnitude clearer, and it is much faster and easier to learn (no obtuse, undocumented, unique syntax) and is generally well-integrated (that is, people don't get confused when a repository has Dockerfile, they know what to do with it)
> Consider the difference between stealing and buying water, and that often, in the Mississippi watershed, there is too much water.

Tapping into the Mississippi is the more sensible megaproject than the great lakes. Prevent the great floods by redirecting that water to the reservoirs out west.

It's still a mad plan. Don't get me wrong.
All of the things in your first paragraph are true of my city, but they don't imply that my city funds road maintenance in a steady state (it does not, in fact).

What's missing in your analysis is that a large fraction of American roads have simply never been maintained. They were laid down initially, often paid for by developer fees, and never touched again. So, your analysis still leaves the question unanswered.

The problem was not the oxidation. That problem is easily dealt with by applying antioxidant paste at the wire terminations, as is required. The problem was single strand solid conductor aluminum wiring. Higher capacity wires are multistrand, and virtually all such wiring is aluminum due to the cost difference.

Single strand solid aluminum conductors expand and contract due to heat changes from high draw, they can work themselves loose, and eventually create shorts and fires. They make special connectors so you can remedy this by attaching a small piece of copper wire (a pigtail) to the aluminum, and don't need to replace all the wiring in your house. This of course means that we could just legislate for better connectors throughout the building, as we should do anyways, and we could safely use single strand solid conductor aluminum wiring instead of copper virtually everywhere.

It's worth noting that it's user content rather than direct usage by NicoNico/KADOKAWA, so the lineage is less direct.

However, given that RPG Maker 2k/2k3 games often have compatibility issues running on modern Windows, it would make a certain sense if KADOKAWA used EasyRPG as a way of extending compatibility. Then too, I'm not really aware of their relationship to the games produced with their tools (even ones that could be considered historically significant, such as Yume Nikki), so I don't know how likely this outcome would be overall.
Which is relatively expensive and error prone, compared to copper connections.

For service connections and large scale power distribution where trained professionals are already required and lack of maintenance is already a fire hazard, it isn't a problem.

For small branch circuits where work is often done by random Joe's and where any sort of preventative maintenance is few and far between, it is a failed experiment.

As someone who moved to LA in the early 70s, and left LA in the late 80s, and spent some time to visit Palm Springs, Phoenix, and Las Vegas, I can say with full confidence that anyone with a lick of sense knew there was not enough water to sustain that growth that started back then, but that didn't stop anyone from building or buying those homes. They all knew it, but didn't care.

It was, and still is, plain old stupid to build those giant cities in those barren deserts. The idea that we'd all have to pay for pipelines to push that water all those miles feels a bit painful to me now, and the complete lack of any discussion about the environmental impact of doing this very bothersome too.

There are many other issues to consider, like the quality of that Mississippi water. They don't call that river "The Big Muddy" for nothing. And there is still a lot of industry that use and dumped used water into it, and farms that have runoff of pesticides all along it and it's tributaries.

The total driving distance from New Orleans to Las Vegas is 1,722 miles. I doubt you can route a pipeline in a way that reduces that much. The cost and environmental impact of building one would be enormous.

This plan feels like it was concocted by someone who's never driven from Las Vegas to New Orleans, or spent anytime on or around the Mississippi River. It gets low on water too. There are droughts in the mid-west too.

Truth is there is no good sustainable solution to this problem as it exist. The only reasonable solution is to stop building new homes right now, and look into how to reduce the number that exists because it's obvious they've already overbuilt.

It's hard for me to imagine anyone with a lick of sense taking this seriously, but that's a shortcoming of mine I am well aware of nowadays.
Strongly agreed. Why are these more interesing than the Airy functions? What's cool about them today?

Posting random Wikipedia links is about as interesting as posting random dictionary entries. I'd much rather see a short intro or at least comment on the article rather than just a link.
In this thread I'm making fun of the assertion that proven technology can't scale. I guess I should've added more sarcasm markers.
This article perfectly exemplifies the arguments in discussions. Lets just concentrate on the waste discussion. The article says heavy metals in solar panels are a problem (I kind of agree, although the way it is described makes it out like we are talking about huge amounts, in reality the lead in solar panels is largely from soldering so very small amounts. Orders of magnitude more are being used for other applications (like car batteries)). They then say that recycling is currently still a problem (sort of true, although there are companies who say they can 100% recycling solar panels already). Similarly for wind they say we still don't know how to recycle the carbon blades, again sort of correct (but there are many other applications of carbon fibre which produce much more waste).

Then when it comes to nuclear waste however, the argument is we can ignore pretty much all long lasting waste, because of some development in the future will make recycling of spend fuel rods feasible. So essentially he is comparing the current state of solar panel recycling to some future potential nuclear waste recycling. That's a dishonest comparison. Moreover ignoring the amount of waste from dismantling the nuclear power plant (which needs to go into nuclear storage because it is radioactive due to irradiation), while talking about the carbon fibre from wind turbines is also disingenuous.

We see the same argumentive structure when talking about the economics; the current state of renewables is compared to some potential future state of nuclear. While in reality renewables are on an exponential cost reduction trajectory and all the nuclear potential is completely unproven.
1d? That’s really cheap, just one pence! I’m sure it cost more than that.
The article doesn't mention pumping water to California at all. The Colorado River is at the CA SE border, so potentially it could be used, but its a long way from the central valley.
A couple of nuke plants powering desalination and California could be exporting water to the east. Of course, that assumes a willingness to take their water issues seriously - it's not like they haven't seen it coming for several decades and could have all this in operation already.
You are correct of course. My comment was kind of all over the place without any clear idea - I just wanted to illustrate that anxiety can also be triggered by the feeling - real or imagined - to not belong. Maybe mixing up class/privilege kind of misses the point as you said there are probably enough well off people full of anxiety. It was just a situation I vividly remembered and as such it's difficult to convey without context and maybe just unfair.
My anecdote agrees: a good friend of mine was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness and is now an incredible salesman. He explained that he spent his entire childhood selling something no one wanted and where people would hurl insults at him daily. Now as an adult in business, selling whatever product is 100x easier and he has limitless tolerance for rejection.
Autodiff does not work with for loops or if statements. The current solutions effectively pick a few promising traces through the program and then assume that nothing else exists. To handle it more elegantly (for things like preserving equational reasoning or avoiding exponential blowup) you need to address it at the level of language semantics.
The barriers in the three photos that show them are called bin blocks, and not DOT approved. Traffic approved barriers are required to have a deflection mechanism (that is why the common jersey barriers and K-rails you see have angled faces) or shock absorption mechanism. You can't have a flat face that doesn't move.

There are also composition requirements. Bin blocks are just made from remnant materials.

Aluminum also has issues with heat expansion and contraction causing connections to loosen faster.

With properly rated connectors, not a problem, but not all are, and not everyone knows it's a thing.

Copper pipe is much more durable as long as the local water isn't acidic, which is rare. CPVC has had a number of issues over the years (including leaching of chemicals and brittleness over time), and PEX is still relatively unproven. It's predecessor product had huge insurance claims due to failing connections after 10+ years.
That's complete bullshit.

Only acidic water (and strongly so) will damage copper pipe.

Most copper pipe will easily last 50-100 years, if not more.

Flouride isn't added in any sort of concentration that would measurably change water Ph.

Pex gets eaten through by rats and then you get to replace 20% of your house if you don't catch it in time. Copper for water is better, or you could run PEX in CSST conduit everywhere (never seen or heard of it). I don't know enough about rats and CPVC, but it seems a bit safer at least. But you will get rats, it's just a question of when.

This is wrong. Nuclear energy is very cheap, green, and reliable.

The problem with nuclear is the very large initial investment required, which delays the time to profit.

In other words, there is no problem with nuclear energy. The problem is with our economic system that demands short-term profits.

Actually, it is a literal monopoly on many things. For example:

> California produces a sizable majority of many American fruits, vegetables, and nuts: 99 percent of artichokes, 99 percent of walnuts, 97 percent of kiwis, 97 percent of plums, 95 percent of celery, 95 percent of garlic, 89 percent of cauliflower, 71 percent of spinach, and 69 percent of carrots (and the list goes on and on).

Those other states are monocultures of federal subsidies like wheat, cotton or corn.

There are a couple differences that are relevant to libraries:

1. System APIs (including fetch, etc) are entirely different from Node. Probably not relevant for this library though

2a. CommonJS-style imports/exports aren't supported; you have to use proper ES imports/exports

2b. Import paths must include the file extension, which non-Deno JS/TS often doesn't do

3. You don't use a package manager to install Deno dependencies; you import the source directly from the local file system or from a remote URL. The good news is this includes GitHub URLs! But the bad news is that eg. any transitive dependencies listed in a package.json won't be found

So... it's usually easy to port a project to Deno, but few NPM projects are compatible out of the box

One workaround that can often be used for points 2 and 3 is to load the package through something like Skypack (https://www.skypack.dev/), which will theoretically turn the whole thing into an ES module. But sometimes, depending on the library, there may still be weird issues

The sooner we can ship all libraries as ES modules by default, the better!
Counterpoint: I grew up in the Midwest along the Kankakee river, and most infrastructure is built for flooding, as it can happen year round. Fresh water is not only abundant, there is often too much, and flooded fields and towns are a real problem. I am all for finding ways to move it west where people say they need it and are willing to pay a premium. Cities in the deserts of earth are more feasible than ever with ingenuity and engineering, and will probably always be much easier than building cities on Mars, for example.
California exports $5bn worth of almonds a year. That's plenty of incentive. What you are talking about is science fiction - it literally doesn't exist. Humanity has been growing almonds for 5000 years and they're still killed by frost. The trees take five years to reach maturity - this is research that takes decades, if not lifetimes.

> We know a lot about Plant genetics and physiology.

lol, no we don't. We can't even make grocery store food that doesn't taste like crap. Sometimes fruit trees skip a season - why? Nobody knows. Sure, we've gotten pretty good at messing around with corn, but it's simple, forgiving, not eaten fresh, and planted from seed every year. It's basically a model organism.
That is so close to a simple process in a multitasking OS ... I get it, you still need dependency isolation, you're just reducing the dependencies to the minimum number as possible, but sometimes I wonder if something (besides cgroups) was missed in OS design.
You provide zero supporting arguments for your point. Megawatt electrolyzers exist today. They existed ten years ago. They don't use anything in large quantities of which supply is limited. You give no reason why we can't just build more of them.
