My anecdotal experience is this is good thing to do.

But I am addicted to devices, especially HN, Reddit and a game I won't mention because I don't want to get you addicted to it too.

I think you can get a lot of joy by letting your mind wander! It may not be productive (like an Eureka moment), but it can be fun, it can also remembering to do something you would have otherwise not thought about.
There is a famous chinese saying that "Learning without thinking is vain; thinking without learning is perilous". I guess the problem is getting the right balance.

And to be honest, I am not sure whether we are reading to find the answer or just searching for stimulus now.
Pumped hydro is not the only storage; otherwise I would have said E = mgh.

Pumped hydro is practical in many, many more places than have hydro generation today, because unlike those, it does not need a watershed. It can use a deep underground cavity where a hill is not forthcoming. Where water is scarce, other methods will be used.

Other applications of Fx include (but are not limited to) compressed air, and buoyancy.

Places that run low on storage resource can import and burn fuel, as they do now, or schedule power from a transmission line, where they have one. Soon, liquified anhydrous ammonia will be cheapest and most practical, but liquified hydrogen may be cheaper and sufficiently practical for bigger utilities. Ammonia has the advantage that it does not need cryogenic treatment. These will be available from numerous tropical sources.
I wonder if the root of the issue is profit expectations. Their main business, Google search, makes mad cash. Why would Google keep something around that makes only a tiny fraction of what their main business does?

Why try new things at all? Because they realize that they need to diversify and try to find something that can bring in money to rival their main business in case their main business goes away.

I don't agree with this cycle, by the way. How can something make the same amount of money as google search if they don't put the same sort of resources into promotion and give it time to grow? But, I don't have an MBA.
Notice that the introduction section of the document is titled "Information for End Users, Customer Support Technicians, Field Engineers, and Network System Administrators Introduction"

It's hard to imagine that just twenty years ago, we treated users far less like idiots, and gave them plenty of documentation even if they wouldn't read or understand it all.
no end in sight

Rest assured, other parts of the world have this all figured out. My favorite term is Favela which Wikipedia assures me is "also known as community". Eventually the ruling class throws up their hands. You can't put people in poor houses, jails, mental hospitals, subsidized housing--all too expensive/illegal/impractical. So you let them live in an ill-maintained "community" like the rest of the world does. It's coming.
Huh? 5 nautical miles should be plenty.

I'm more concerned that it's a 1d building.

>i really don't give a shit.

^ This right here is the fundamental problem in American politics. Because what you are missing is that society is like a house. If you don't maintain your house, eventually the roof caves in. There are people who believe that they can starve government - cut taxes back to nothing, better if we get rid of all the bureaucrats, better if Congress / state legislatures are stuck not able to do anything, who cares if I vote.

That's the equivalent of letting the house fall down around you. Plenty of voters will say they don't care - they think they can somehow protect themselves. But they don't get that sooner or later, chaos reigns and it comes for all of us. Homelessness and depravity like we see in Seattle isn't the root disease - it's a symptom of the disease.
It can be used for cabling, though that's going to be industrial connections (like an inch or so in diameter, and connections between 400V equipment). Though those types of connections a practically babysat with inspections every year or two, compared to house wiring which is run once and never think about again.

Also not exclusive, internal parts of gear will probably still be copper.
> The people parking these RVs aren't following the rules, why should the people they're dumping their sewage and trash onto follow them?

If you embrace only a purely strategic point of view, sure, choose from the palatable tools available to achieve your ends.

But most people have some kind of moral and ethical code, imperfect as it may be.
The golden rule is nearly universal across various moral belief systems.

Be careful: if you only consider the purely strategic point of view you may find yourself as the primary casualty. Living without a moral code is perhaps the most self-defeating decision you can make.
> unless someone really pads the invoice.

Definitely. Since another level of government was paying (though a common set of tax payers...), there seemed to be a lot of running the clock. The war on drugs must not have budgetary limits!

While creative, the entire strategy was ineffective: within hours the blocks would be removed, operations would resume and then the city would do it again. Textbook insanity.
When will these big companies be satisfied? They have astronomical market caps, share prices and pay structures for leadership but it’s always more more more. These companies need to pull off the gas pedal and provide for their employees more rather than continue to extract from them.
You missed the “ as Americans understand them” part. Those are rights, but not constitutional.
A city full of security cameras can't find out who placed a block? The city can always remove one round and wait to catch someone putting up another one.
Looks very pretty indeed. Will give it a spin.

For those interested in alternative dictionary apps for the English language I'd also recommend checking out the advanced english dictionary [1] as well. It certainly checks all the boxes the author asked for and then some more.

Borland seemed to be in flux in the year or two prior to the split. Turbo Prolog was hyped and then seemed to disappear (although I'm pretty sure it shipped a version or two), Turbo Pascal was advertised for the then-new Amiga 1000 and never shipped.

It's hard to understate how critical Borland was in the shift from the BASIC era of home computing for many users and inexperienced programmers in the 80s and early 90s.
As a few ex-Mormons have pointed out, Sparks was not the first Mormon to publish a text ostensibly based on an original source that the rest of the world did not get to see.

My brain refuses to read them mentally as a contiguous word, and I hate that. There are always induced pauses.
I will try -- free is not the right word in English, it has ambiguity and also, unproductive aspects of meaning.

Richard Stallman and GPL discussions certainly do mention ethics as part of the considerations. I agree that no person is completely disjoint from ethical considerations, with intelligence. But as this thread explores, there are multiple points of view, unclear and untested aspects legally within multiple legal jurisdictions.

But you make a large leap when you say "they should not mention" .. It is a dramatic statement, not a logical one, it is more in common with persuasive, political speech than logic there.

As noted by others, a useful simplification is to focus on one particular LICENSE at a time. Is this license ... x y z. As Google did long ago and as Github started to do and as the OSI does and as FSF does... like that.. not debate on the entire concept, but instead focus on the implementation, as software does.

The article is on mining.com, there is a section about mining :)

> In B.C., there are currently two mine expansion proposals that are close to having final investments decisions made, Goehring said – Highland Valley Copper and Red Chris — and two proposed new mines: the KSM gold-copper mine and the Galore Creek copper mine.

etc.
Yes, OSI is considered the authority on this. Who else? They invented and popularized the term, after all, back in the early dot-com era.

Of course, they can't do it alone. The question is whether you should support OSI's efforts or not. Do you want "open source" to have a clear meaning or do you want to drift into meaningless like "agile" or just "open?"

It's the same as any other standard. If everyone stops following the standard then it will fail, but is that really want you want?
I dunno about that. Once upon time, after search but before the modern era, they built (or bought and then integrated) very useful things like Android or Maps or Docs or Gmail. But they still took risks back then.
Even with synthetic inertia supplied by every inverter, you will still eventually run into a situation where the system begins to oscillate wildly if you do not have enough spinning mass.

Agree with most of the sentiment in the thread. I guess Pichai asking people for input is nice and all, but what mission you're supposed to be on usually comes from the people who lead, it's not the job of developers or middle-management to decide the direction of a company. If you're asking people for a 'simplicity sprint' you'll have to declare where you're sprinting to first.

Zucc gets a lot of crap for the whole 'Metaverse' thing and it may very well be a terrible idea, but at least it's an idea.

> the state is estimated by some to boast a Ponzi scheme for every hundred thousand people

Sorry but looking up the state population that's got to be way, way too low. I'd say 1:10k at the least! But so many of them are ad hoc and built on the back of business affinity relationships. (By the time you hear about them from your assigned ministering brother or sister, it's too late and the ground floor has been marbled over. :D)

So according to your logic no pause GC is impossible? In that case my claim is that it works as fast as what an expert in C/C++ optimisations would hand craft the compiled code to do by carefully minimising allocs/frees. This is what AAA games do to minimise stuttering. You can achieve the same with GC languages like Java. However you then have to manually keep a pool of objects and manually “alloc/free” objects from that pool. That is what games written in GC languages do to avoid random GC pauses.

Also, we can build a nuclear plant in a desert country (where I live), but not much hydro. In fact, our hydro plants are generating less and less energy every year as our rivers are drying up.
No one is repurposing whole packs because they are only gotten rid of after they've completely failed. Repurposing individual battery cells is difficult when they're tightly integrated into a battery pack. They're welded in, and often entombed in wax, foam or adhesives. If you can disassemble down to a module level, then you have a shot. Usually when an EV pack fails, it's due to a single module going bad. There's a pretty good sized industry to refurbish failed Prius battery packs by disassembling them down to modules, and then characterizing the modules and matching them back up with similarly degraded but otherwise healthy modules across many battery packs.

explain why the places with the worst homeless is the same ones with high taxes and liberal policies then. i used to give a shit but years of work on this problem and a lot of cities only made it worse.

literally all the progressives can come up with for a solution is "give more shit away free" when we used to give away less and didn't have the same problem. whatever the disease is that's not treating it.
What is your relationship with the problem?
I am asking because I've seen the work that goes into keeping a control plane (for anything other than toy applications) running. It's non-trivial and requires a lot of know-how about many not well documented k8s features. You may have figured a better way of doing it or maybe you have reduced complexity by having a more opioninated setup.

How many nodes (ballpark) are in your cluster, how big is the team supporting it and how many developers use the cluster you've stood up? (For how many services) Are you running your workloads in the cloud or on dedicated bare metal machines?

The headline doesn't exactly match the content. The "simplicity sprint" is best described by this paragraph:

> Pichai said the company is opening the floor for employees to share their ideas through August 15th through an internal survey that asks if management can reach out if they have follow-up questions.

I expect this will actually be a valuable exercise. A company the size of Google must have a HUGE amount of stop-energy and inertia. Making it a priority to identify and address things that are slowing them down seems like an obviously valuable exercise to me.

I'm reminded of this excellent recent essay on Reducing Friction - https://blog.ceejbot.com/posts/reduce-friction/

If you can spot things that even give you a 1% aggregate productivity improvement at a company with 174,000 employees it's naively equivalent to hiring 1,740 people!
On desktop, I always use the old. site.

On mobile, the app is decent enough (meaning extremely addictive).

I used to use the streaming apps to have something like Seinfeld, Friends or BBT running in the background.

I would have the streaming apps on at home all the time, and even at work, when I am working alone (my office situation is such that I can work in a separate conference room, with a wide view to let me know if someone is coming). So, my streaming would be several hours every day.

Thanks to dead cheap internet charges in India, and the fact that my provider allows for bandwidth carry forward, I have no worries about the bill.
For memcpy and memset, they are usually memory bound, so it isn't surprising that it doesn't get to 1 instruction per clock. I wonder if this is due to slow memory instead.
> Nobody wins reelection by spending lots of money and causing the city budget to increase

Is this a fact though? I'm sure things are drastically different in the US, but in the places that I have experience with, proposing to increase budget for popular things is definitely an election winner, often even if such promises goes hand in hand with explaining that taxes will be increased to cover it.
"... all licenses are terminated as of 14 days after the date of this notice, and you are requested to delete The Machinery source code and binaries."

"We hope we have been helpful in some way to your development needs."

That's a load-bearing "some way," if I've ever seen one.
Agree. As someone that has had to migrate systems from K8s to Elastic Beanstalks or equivalent, there are definitely situations where K8s is overkill and simpler systems can work better.
This looks pretty shady.

The current EULA on the website includes a bit that says they can terminate your license and ask you to delete all source and binaries entirely at their discretion[1].

The latest copy on the wayback machine from May does not have that bit.[2]

1. https://ourmachinery.com/eula.html
2. https://web.archive.org/web/20220529230958/https://ourmachin...

So they used the 'we can update the eula at any time at our discretion' clause to add a 'we can tell you to delete your source and binaries' clause and then immediately invoked it.

Lived in Seattle for seven years and will return in another three. Encountered many homeless people in that time. Volunteered for the Tax Amazon project to raise funds for socialized housing. Donated a chunk of my salary to Plymouth Housing, a regional housing-first charity. Developed a deep disdain for other privileged techies who were utterly unwilling to engage with the externalities caused by them moving to the city.

I feel like payments was a great example. Why is there wallet, pay, the new pay, the Android pay, the Google pay, the web payment service, the play store, none of which seem intercompatible? And yet in the meantime Stripe and Venmo took over?

It's got nothing to with desktop vs web software. All of Google's major past successes were online services too, as are your competitors. From the outside it just looks like you guys are resting on a giant warchest with feuding petty fiefdoms while the king is asleep at the throne. You know the problem spaces but come up with a bunch of half added solutions instead of some disciplined, visioned push. That just seems like a classic lack of competent leadership. Wish you guys could fire your execs and start over.
> If we wanted [better upward mobility (out of homelessness)], we should've invested in low-income housing, and public transit infrastructure so that people could live elsewhere, and commute. Also, healthcare for folks who struggle with mental health.

I want to focus on the "If we wanted that," part. The "we" part is notable and problematic. I'll mention two senses here:

* desire (measured by preference aggregation): what do "we" want, based on aggregating (somehow) individual preferences

* action (collective action): what can we agree to do?

My point is this: Just because _action_ hasn't happened does not mean that _desire_ is not there. There is big gap between the two. One recipe is:

1. define the group with the desire

2. find and organize them

3. identify the common preferences

4. accumulate political capital

5. wield the power

I'm not a naive optimist; this is hard. But don't assume the _desire_ is not there! It takes effort to align a previously scattered group of people into something with cohesion and identity.
The Queen's representative, the Governor General is the head of a government that is not mitigated by explicit inaliable freedoms that act as a check on it, or divide its powers in a way to prevent it being converted to a classic tyranny. It would require a whole new constitution to remove the powers that these governments have evolved to abuse.

Hence it seems predictable that a popular movement toward new constitutional republics could rise. Without a means to defend your basic freedoms from the people who eventually rise to make up a government, a constitution and a charter of rights are just conventions. These parliamentary democracies are in a co-ordinated transition to something else.
There are a number of ways that someone with a severe substance abuse or mental health problem can end up on the streets but still have an RV.
we used to have those in a lot of cities in america, ghettos and tenements. at least they were cheap ig. the problem is we still don't know what else we can do with those people. a lot of them just don't give a shit so we got 0 leverage to make them do anything.
