Plants planned or under construction will be cancelled anywhere they are not massively subsidized by government coercion of tax- or ratepayers, as energy prices continue downward. They will be recognized as unable to compete.

Existing plants will be mothballed as energy prices drop below the level needed to continue operating, again except where coerced.
For anyone else considering to build a dictionary app, and you know a bit of HTML, I recommend making a static web site/app which uses service worker to cache all words for offline use, and web app manifest so mobile users can add the "app" to their home screen. Then use a static site generator to generate an index - then you can add a bit of javascript that searches that index. It will be blazingly fast, cross platform, and you don't have to deal with the app/play store.
No. If you did that, SQLite would have to (logically) decompress about your entire database on every query. For example, how would it read the database schema to determine whether “select foo from bar” is valid sql for the database? If it figures that out, how would it figure out there’s an appropriate index to use? How would it read that index?

Databases do a lot of seeking into database files and typically only read a small part of them. That’s not a scenario that’s a good fit with whole-file compression.

Compressing individual pages is a bit better, but I think this can still be better.

Your file system probably would cache the decompressed database file, but that would use memory, lots of it if your database is large.

The issue with the video, as explained in your article link, is its claim that the whitehouse is "changing the definition" of recession.

That claim is false, and just propaganda. The WH may be using an official definition which is convenient for them, vs. some other that is also acceptable. That may be true.

But they arent changing the definition of anything. Theyre actually using the standard one for the relevant area of expertise.

I understand where the confusion is coming from: that Columbus thought that he had arrived in India and so named the natives "Indians" but it's been long established that this was a terrible mistake and that the peoples from the Americas were, in fact, not Indians but rather Native Americas. They were not brought from India. They were already established here. So it's incorrect to call them American Indians. It's just plain offensive these days to call them so.

Don't take my word for it, though. Just ask any "American Indian" which term they prefer and you'll find your answer quickly.
> Obviously the judiciary is much less powerful here than the US

How do you define "power" exactly? Like the Supreme Court just flipping constitutional law precedent? Or that the government isn't being held to account in front of an independent judiciary?

Because we see that reasonably often in NZ, government gets taken to the High Court, loses, formally apologises, tries to get it right. If that's missing in Australia, that really explains a lot of us on the other side of the ditch have seen the federal government getting up to.

Associativity and communtativity are different things.

@hi + @lo + @hi means (@hi + @lo) + @hi

@hi + @hi + @lo means (@hi + @hi) + @lo

Just because you can write this without the parentheses does not mean you can ignore them. To get from one to the other need not just the commutativity rule relied on by the diffing algorithm but also the associativity rule:

(@hi + @lo) + @hi =assoc=> @hi + (@lo + @hi) =comm=> @hi + (@hi + @lo) =assoc=> (@hi + @hi) + @lo

Here the third (associativity) change introduces the overflow, not the commutativity change which should always be safe for both integers and floating point numbers.
Wow, that blog post is fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

For those who haven't read the blog post yet, it also includes an archive.org link to the out-of-copyright 1913 Websters, and ways to install it on Mac, iPhone, Android, and Kindle.

Where the blog post compares the very different definitions of "pathos" in 1913 Webster's & 2010 New Oxford American, I'm reminded of Orwell's "Principles Of Newspeak" appendix at the end of Nineteen Eighty-Four. The appendix imagines how the definitions of words kept being further narrowed until the final Eleventh Edition of the Newspeak Dictionary, to diminish the range of possible thought.

OnePlus' OTA update soft-bricked my OnePlus 5 on Christmas Eve, so I got a really bad taste in my mouth for their software.

And with the hardware not being budget anymore, I figured I might as well buy an iPhone, since the price is basically at iPhone-levels now anyways. When I bought my OnePlus One, it was basically a flagship device for around 350€. Back then the iPhone 6 was starting at like 699/799€?

Ah, so solar/wind is not dispatchable because it's more costly you claim, not because one can't actually do it?

You don't need 15-25x overbuilding. That is nonsense. Perhaps you're assuming no storage whatsoever, and are oversizing the renewables to deliver sufficient power instantaneously? What terrible and foolish engineering.

The round trip efficiency of power -> hydrogen -> power is maybe 40%, so if you sent the entire renewable output through hydrogen the overbuilding (in the sense of how much energy you'd have to produce / how much energy was delivered to the grid) would be 2.5. And of course you'd send only a bit of energy through hydrogen; most would be delivered either directly to the grid or through diurnal storage at higher round trip efficiency.

If I go to https://model.energy/, click on the US, and solve for 2030 cost assumptions and 2011 historical weather data, I find the renewable + storage system to provide a synthetic baseload output to the US involves 0.1% solar curtailment, 23.8% wind curtailment, and delivers nearly 3/4 of the renewable power directly to the grid. If I narrow it down to just, let's say, Texas, the wind curtailment goes up to 32.1%. All this is a far, far cry from 15-25x overbuilding.
> Are you kidding me? You realize slavery, torture and beatings was justified based on the bible alone

This isn’t a historically correct statement. Slavery has existed in myriad societies that don’t read the Bible. In Civil War era America, the Confederates sought to place themselves on the side of “science” and characterized the union as religious “zealots.” https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/cornersto...

What’s remarkable about Christian societies is that they ended slavery the way they did. To my knowledge there’s no other example of a society that tore itself apart and where people sacrificed by hundreds of thousands of their own for the freedom of a different group of people.
> The only real difference is that, on average, Europeans tend to prioritise shorter commutes and living closer to town over large homes.

And afaict Americans /are prohibited from/ prioritising that due to zoning - it is nearly impossible to get an apartment close to shops, work, and functioning public transit.
Average housing is mediated by where people want to live and preferences around the value of space. I could move elsewhere in the UK and have 5x the space for the same price, or I could buy a castle in France. But while that castle might be tempting for retirement, I value living close to the centre of London more than I value the extra space.

So it's proxying the original site/page through their own platform using your domain named pointed at their server.

What happens when the original sites start blocking requests from the ably servers?
It depends on the data and application,

I use a similar approach for compressing data that go in a couple of database/store.
Having control on when and how to compress data can significantly improve performance, also, it sometimes makes sense to keep compress data even in memory since it can allow you to make better use of it.

Also keep in mind that often you can't control the filesystem.

One use case for which I am working right now is that I have is storing highly repetitive data on a very slow flash storage, (that technically support compression, but it is slow and with not great compression ratio), I can significantly improve performance.

Some of the LoRa boards do have built-in GPS so you do not have to rely on the phone's GPS. It also means accurate time, so you can display how long ago a message was received. When I tried meshtastic, the LCD had the option to point towards other receivers.

It also took 20 minutes for first GPS sync, which was less fun.
I didn't know this, nice to dream if there was a successful and widespread Turbo Pascal for Amiga how things escalating differently. Like an early Delphi maybe.

There are plenty of bones where the solution for a bruise, fracture, or most similar injuries is identical -- do nothing, and let it heal. That includes ribs, toes, and some other bones.

Knowing what's wrong for sure doesn't change course of action much -- not enough to warrant a visit.

Unless the bone has shifted out-of-position, the doctor will tell you to go easy on it for a few weeks, and perhaps buddy-tape a toe.

I agree diet would be awesome. The difference is the techniques I know are... intrusive. I don't quite know how an at-home blood draw would work. I do know enough that an at-home ultrasound, EKG/EEG/EMG, and several other techniques can be made cheap, practical, and harmless.

EKG/EEG/EMG can be DIYed for $10. Ultrasound, last I looked a few decades ago, would require a lot of new tech to make cheap, but nothing sci-fi grade. Developing LCD panels, integrated circuits, or e-ink were harder problems.

It would be interesting to try something like this on the file system level, yes.

Basically you could heuristically find interesting files, then train a compression dictionary for e.g. each file or each directory. Then you'd compress 32kB blocks of each file with the corresponding dictionary. Note that this would be pretty different from how existing file system compression works (by splitting everything into blocks of e.g. 128kB and just compressing those normally).

I think it would be hard to find heuristics that work well for this method. The result would be pretty different than what I'm doing here with different tradeoffs. sqlite-zstd is able to use application-level information of which data is similar and will compress well together. You couldn't do that within the filesystem. It also works "in cooperation" with the file format of the database instead of against it - e.g. you probably wouldn't want to compress the inner B-tree nodes.

On the other hand, it would then work for any file format not just SQLite databases. E.g. a huge folder of small json files
> Copper is widely used for flashing. For this application, galvanized steel, aluminum, and stainless steel can substitute. All are less expensive.

If a product is just as good and less expensive, why aren’t builders using it already? Builders (like farmers) are pretty aware of and sensitive to their cost of inputs.

I have a slate roof that’s around 100 years old. It’s had maintenance over the years, but rock lasts essentially forever. I’m coming up on some copper replacement from wear after 100 years and it’s definitely not going to be zinc-plated carbon steel, aluminum, or low-grade stainless. I’d consider 316 stainless and will ask the contractors about it. I feel like the malleability and solderability of copper actually matters here, but I’ll ask.

I am happy for the author, but want to warn the credulous that this is a very strange way to approach compression with SQLite. The much more common way is to use SQLite vfs:

https://www.sqlite.org/vfs.html

Briefly search for SQLite compressed vfs and you will find many extensions. Some are quite mature.

I get the impression that the author doesn't know about the vfs, as it's not even mentioned in the readme. The clickbait title similarly seems amateurish. Caveat emptor.
Because you don't want to learn anything new, you're going to ignore the clear advantages and demonstrable benefits of it then? Fair enough. I'm not going to argue with cognitive dissonance like that.
If its practical for you thats is okay and good for you. I'm just saying sometimes we trick our mind to thinking exactly that, like "its more practical with a phone" but at the same time not considering that its not practical to read news and browse social media for hours while we should be doing other things. If the later is not happening or not an issue for you, thats totally fine. I just want to point out very often this is not the case, but we make it up in our mind so that we believe it.
Police and DAs seem to be abusing this idea. Both of these things should matter when writing laws, but not when enforcing them. We basically take selective enforcement of the law as a given these days, and it turns out that can cause a lot of social problems.
The need is 3m^2 cross section of conductor for the entire planet's current electricity usage, which at antipodal scale is 17 years of current global production of copper and aluminium. Production of aluminium is limited by electrical supply, and PV electricity is cheap enough to expand that aluminium supply. A 25% increase in global aluminium supply is significant, but not pipe-dream, and that percentage is sufficient for completing the task before the end of the century.

What I don't know is how long such a cable would last, which matters for total lifetime cost. But construction cost at current prices is on the order of a few trillion, which sure, is loads, but that's for a genuinely global infrastructure project that essentially replaces the multi trillion dollar per year fossil electricity industry.

Biggest problem is probably the geopolitics.
The Midwest states or the states of the Boston-DC corridor, or the gulf coast states are all similarly large economic blocks. The "muh fifth largest economy" trope is just a reflection of state borders that really have little impact at the federal political level. Furthermore, CA stands of a lot of stuff a lot of people hate. Indiana and Ohio will gladly put aside their hatred for each other if CA is trying to screw them both.

> MacBooks could easily end up becoming the laptop of choice for Linux developers

That is, if they want to subsidize with their own wallets the dominance of consumer-hostile computing that open source was created to avert.

Except for development such as this here, which aims at liberating users from a closed platform, I would have a philosophical problem to buy such hardware purely for my convenience.

Let's not fool ourselves, when proprietary hardware
from platform giants like Amazon and Apple becomes dominant killing open ecosystems, the end of road can only lead to consumer coercion, regardless if a negligible fraction of users would be able to still run Linux on such hardware.
The BBFC is a non-government organisation nevertheless required by the government to view and rate all films. Councils licence cinemas (originally for fire safety) and require cinemas to only show rated material to the public, but they also have a discretionary power to rate and therefore ban films themselves.

As an example, Life of Brian (1979) was only an “AA” (14 years+) but a moral panic made 28 councils raise to an “X” (18+) and 11 actually banned it completely.

(For clarity, a film is de facto banned when either the BBFC or a local council refuses to rate it. It can still be shown privately (eg at a film society) provided it doesn’t contain illegal material (ie it’s not obscene))
to complete the answer, there are actual pumps to bring the colorado river waters all the way to Los Angeles, this is bonkers.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Colorado...

And Los Angeles also gets some water by another gigantic water system coming all the way from northern California collecting the melting snow from the high Sierras.
"Los Angeles" is a bit of the loose term because the central valley is connected to the same system for agricultural needs.

I think it's really the bleak future to look at as an example, Phoenix is still small enough that it doesn't yet use more than its alotment of the Colorado river. But clearly the article is looking at artificially propping up Phoenix in the future the way Los Angles is right now.

Edit: and in the terminator 2 movie, this is not a rain ditch, it’s supposed to be an actual river.
