You are most welcome! I can see smoking weed has made you a wonderful, empathetic person on the internet! It's a shame your parents aren't aware of this.
It's more the fact that they're protesting mask mandates that were lifted months ago, lockdowns that haven't happened for almost a year, and QR code checkins that are no longer present.

They are not advocating for N95 face masks out of concern that the cloth ones are ineffective.
I would think that an empty cache between visits, but a full cache between different pages of the same visit would be a realistic assumption. i.e. not relying on the cache to speed up initial page load, but accepting it will speed up subsequent pages.

what?
this might make sense if you were talking about free software. free software is very unclear and it makes people believe things that are not true about the software. free software doesn't need to be 0 cost.

this is not the case with open source. for close to 2 decades it was very obvious what open source meant and there was no confusion about it. it wasn't until the source available movement started to take off and they started to cash in on open source's reputation and identity for the sake of promoting themselves and cheapening the meaning that it became confusing.

the problem is that since this is a cultural movement and not a piece of intellectual property like a trademark there is no way to prevent people from contorting open source into whatever best suits their self serving interests.
Not to detract from this project, which clearly has a robust following, but what would the best tools be for a first time attempt at making an SNES-level RPG? With a focus on ease-of-development.

I'm an experienced programmer and RPG player, but have never used any of the DIY tools.
I’d love to hear more details/chat about what aspects you found most difficult specifically with running control plane (not on gke/eks/aks). I’m looking at how I could solve this more generally for businesses ;)

> 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)

Up to upper hundreds of nodes/tens of thousands of cores (beefy nodes) per cluster in biggest ones (several geo/cloud-distributed clusters). Tbh what’s giving me more grief is number and diversity (different clouds/different setups) of clusters not individual cluster sizes. Original team that built/proved the design was only 3-4 devs but k8s was only part of what we did so it’s more like 1-2 if full time. Number of engineers that deploy there is probably close to 50 now with at least twice as many services (not all actively developed or in-house).

> Are you running your workloads in the cloud or on dedicated bare metal machines?

GCP and AWS VMs. We managed to stay away from anything managed except block and object storage so baremetal is in store for us just wasn’t the time yet. One of my main goals developing our current design was to keep this door open when the time comes and the setup will be largely the same as in cloud (with a few additions like 3rd party CSI for ISCI/NVMeOf storage)
Kubernetes is heavily used internally at MS as well, especially for newer stuff.
We don't have homeless people sleeping and shitting on sidewalks in Detroit. They sleep in 'bandos. See? More houses - less visible homeless (I'm sure the cold weather helps a bit too).

Honestly investing in just any reasonable amount of housing and transport would have helped but we had an entire generation just not bother and dump that cost onto us. Low-income housing is by necessity low-cost housing and that’s simply not achievable in an age of expensive land, expensive labor, and expensive materials.

I like having a car for the occasional long voyage, but I don't want to have to rely on it for everyday trips, because I enjoy walking and living and working in walkable places. I think that's a pretty common position.

My dream would be living in a car free zone, with parking and inter-zone road and rail connections on the exterior, like a superblock. Walking a while or taking a short train to get to my car would be a worthwhile trade off.

I just discovered these while I was looking for pi clones on aliexpress. Really cheap for what you get.
I'm not sure I'd like to meet the court that wouldn't see a public domain dedication and round it up to a maximally permissive license if it ever came up anyway.
Article author here. My concern would be that you could use any term but, as soon as that term gains value, it would start to be abused and blurred and we'd be in the same situation. It would be a shame to effectively throw away the value of "Open Source" that has been built up by the OSI and the community around Open Source software. I don't think the term is past being useful, the vast majority of its use i still see it applied as per the OSI definition, but there's always going to be a little maintenance needed.
Well this is... eerie. I just released Stictionary[1] on Friday.

It is an offline, ad free, dictionary that remembers words you look up. It gives a word of the day and provides (admittedly underfeatured atm) flashcards to review your word lists. It includes optional syncing to keep your word lists across devices. I've been holding off posting about it while i complete the website[2].

Love to see someone else had such a similar idea. Great confirmation of the unmet need in the space. Really awesome execution as well. Congrats on the launch!

On a personal note, i built Stictionary after tracking all the words i looked up manually for years. Now i have an app that does it for me (and was a blast to build).

ah you're right, I never considered non text input. I may add some special handling for that. asciienema is a good shout too
I spoke to an acquaintance at Google last week and they said they have to report to office at least 3 days in a week.

Having said that - and I support working fully remote - I don't see how that's a solution to this problem. As others have said, if the company is lacking direction, it has to come from higher management. It can come from engineers or middle-management as well, but you'd be lucky if that happens.
The actual metric most customers will care about is price. Pick a Pi variant at the same price as the RISC-V board, how does the performance compare?
I miss delicious.

Hopefully demand for EVs (seems automobiles in general) is more elastic than you make it out and people start gradually living less cad centric lives and cycling/walking/bus/subwaying more.
You have to read these partisan pieces carefully. When they say "a mix of renewables and natural gas can x", they actually mean "natural gas can x" - but burning natural gas emits CO2. And a 30% wind grid in Texas worked out right until it didn't (the media blamed it all on lack of "winterization" which may be the immediate cause, but the fact is that the high wind mix meant the grid was having to work a lot harder and is one of the biggest underlying causes).

For all that article's efforts to quibble with definitions, the fact is that a grid that is all or mostly renewables (except for hydro and geothermal, which are great for the places that are suitable for them, but not available everywhere) will have blackouts. Lots of things can be demand-managed but lots of things can't. If you want electricity to be available 24/7 then the grid absolutely does need to "overpay" for generators that are available 24/7 (and sure, nuclear plants have unexpected shutdowns like anything else, but those outages are going to be uncorrelated with each other), and whether you call that "baseload" or some other term is neither here nor there.
A dictionary is a creative, curated and editorial work. While I could see, in the US for example, the National Endowment for the Humanities supporting the work, it is very far removed from something like the National Institute if Standards and Technology.

It is not a given that such work is best handled through the public purse.
Grid connected batteries are being installed all over the place.

And now hydrogen storage is being rolled out too. The hydrogen storage project in Delta, Utah could ultimately (when the salt formation there is fully utilized) store enough hydrogen to supply the entire US average grid power demand for 30 hours.

BTW, electrolyzers from China are now being sold to the international market for $0.30/W. Their prices are crashing just like PV did.

> Germany

Some combination of difficulty of dislodging incumbents whose capital cost is sunk, and political implications from parts of society depending on coal mining. They should have been building more renewables, I agree, and it's too bad for them now that they didn't.
yeah - there's not going to be a shortage of aluminum any time soon.
That is not a proven fact. We probably need more silicon for the solar cells. But there is nothing about lithium ion batteries which makes them our only good choice for storing energy from renewables. Gravity is probably our best energy storage at present, there is also nickle metal hydrade for home storage, and in the near future we are probably gonna be looking at molten salt batteries (e.g. calcium-antimony liquid-metal batteries) for large scale storage. We are probably only gonna need to mine the lithium and cobalt for our consumer electronics (including electric cars). For public transit systems that can’t connect to the power grid for some reason, there is always hydrogen fuel-cells.

So no, we are not going to be needing an absurd amount of any one mineral (except maybe silicon) as they all have alternatives which quite often are even better then lithium and cobalt.
still doesn't discount anything he's said about the space and looks like Adjoin hasn't been active for quite some time. So its likely that he dabbled in the space and stopped once he realized crypto was just a one stop ponzi on top of ponzi.

Indeed, we should rather put all our hopes in generating energy from a resource that can/will be disrupted by a small volcanic eruption.
>Also life is much better today for a weak, stupid person. 100 years, or even 40 years back, your life would be hell due to people giving you a hard time.

"Demand based consumption" is a fancy way to say shortage.

It makes sense with “open source” too, and the author already acknowledged that explicitly. I don’t think this point is even up for debate. The obvious & literal interpretation of the term is, is the source available to inspect? That is precisely what the author said is not the definition of “open source”, he wants the definition to come with more than that, specifically that “open source” needs to come with limitations on what you’re allowed to do with it once acquired; the argument is that it must not be public domain.

I think it’s hyperbolic of you to suggest that when people use “open source” to mean “source that is open”, that implies they’re being selfish or contorting anything. You’re failing to acknowledge the very real problem that “open source” taken literally doesn’t mean what some people want it to mean.
> Unicode provides a unique code for every character, regardless of the language.

Moreover, this is not strictly true even after the generous reinterpretation (assuming "unique-under-normalization", "code point sequence", "abstract character" and "script") because Unicode still doesn't encode some scripts [1].

All the machines have been pre assembled and tested in Taiwan. The installation should go faster than anticipated.

They try to minimize labor cost in the US. Salary and overtime pay are much lower in Taiwan so they try to use the engineering resource in Taiwan as much as possible.
It's also a limitation of the specifications the charger designers are working to - CCS2 for example is 500A max.
Wow, seeing that warrior sprite on the home page filled me with memories. RPGMaker was my first introduction to game dev when I was around 10 years old (even if I never wrote any actual code). My home computer was Linux so I had to go to a friends’ house to play around with the tool, and we had a lot of fun just making dumb things that were never seen by anyone but ourselves.

Also, one of my earliest computer game memories is of an RPG Maker game that retold the story of Dragon Ball Z. That was the coolest thing I had ever seen at the time, and I think this is my first time thinking about it in 15 years. Thank you for this post.
Globally solar and wind are blowing away the competition. Is that ALL subsidized? Of course not. They have really gotten cheaper.
Someone should create company websites for prominent tech companies, and add job postings for all the CxO suite positions with full descriptions indicating they are for replacement. For science, to see what the LinkedIn bots do. Assuming they get picked up, how long until journalist bots post clickbait articles about people leaving?
Not OP, but I do notice that many reality shows like to highlight someone's adversity as major reason that they should win.
Uhm, I’m only talking about reading papers that are published. No way would I condone a reviewer doing this to a paper they are reviewing lol.

Also I emphasized that this is more true in biology. When there’s no math or software, there’s often nothing to gain from the text of the results. The evidence is supposed to be in the figures.
> perhaps 316 stainless steel

Stainless steel is awesome! Unfortunately the connections are not so easy. Stainless steel-to-brass threaded connections are probably safe under most circumstances but are dubious per the code. Push-to-connect fittings often use little stainless teeth to hold the tubing in, and this may work less well when the pipe is nearly as hard as the teeth. (John Guest makes special fittings for stainless steel tubing.) You can’t sweat stainless steel pipes.

Obviously everyone should plumb their houses with swagelok fittings! :)
I’m absolutely working to improve the housing situation and reduce the potential for homelessness in my area. So yes, I am backing up what I’m saying with action.

I can't emphasize enough what an impact this approach had for me. I suffered from sleep anxiety and insomnia. Took trazodone for years. It lost its potency and I wanted to get off the sleep drugs. Then I discovered history podcasts. The only ones that work have a single person talking and no ads intermixed with the podcast episode. Usually I'm asleep five minutes into the podcast. Then when I wake in the morning, I listen to it with my coffee. A few years ago my daughter was having similar problems and she too solved it with podcasts.
Of course it is, with suitable storage. And probably cheaper than nuclear for that.

> Different distributions run different kernels.

Not so much, no. Linux is the kernel, and all Linux distros, every single one, employs Linux as its kernel, or else it would not be Linux. Stepping back from my pedantry, I believe what you must mean is that different Linux distributions will customize the kernel a bit. That doesn't change what it is. Just because you have automatic windows and I have cranks, and you have leather interior and I have plush doesn't mean our vehicles aren't the exact same year, make and model.
ImageOptim seems like a proprietary SaaS, not something you want to trust your EXIF data with. mat2 is a locally installed tool so it doesn't have that problem (there is a web interface you can setup too).
Probably not, because housing developments cost hundreds of millions of dollars and individual voluntary charitable donations are not a good vehicle for tackling this problem. Fortunately with taxation and collective action this problem is tractable, but you don't believe in that approach either. You're just here to snipe. In another comment you ask someone how many homeless people they've invited into their yard. You're just being mad online. What a pathetic waste of time.
Giving a job to an ex-con is both good for the ex-con and good for others, as giving the ex-con something to live for greatly reduces the chance that they will return to antisocial behavior.

As a non-Teamster, I'm not really sure what good is done for me if a Teamster gets a job, or what harm is done to me if they don't.

Frankly, the more this idea is being discussed here, the more I'm hoping Amazon hires as many ex-cons as possible and if that means completely busting any union activity in their company in perpetuity, so be it.
You back up the renewables with hydrogen-burning combined cycle plants.

A combined cycle plant costs around $1/W. A nuclear power plant costs around $10/W.

Why do you want to spend so much more money than you have to, just so you can split atoms?
Since this article starts with $$ values, I’m not sure if the effectiveness of engineers is even related. It has lots to do with the nature of the product and business. Yeah you could build crypto exchange or maybe Instagram with a dozen engineers, but good luck with that for more complex product like AWS, Tesla. The key IMO is a successful business can be technically simple to start with, but it could rarely stay simple for too long
Holy sh#t, please take a step back and think about what you are saying in a public forum and the impact it may have.
Maybe that is caused by women that would have been unable to be polled actually giving their opinion.

(Not that I believe this. Just giving a plausible counter explanation.)
You've posted this three times on this thread now without elaborating. What "censorship regime" are you talking about?

I know that age ratings around video games are a little silly there (until 2012 there was no R18 rating for video games but there was for Movies/TV, so certain titles couldn't be sold there without modifications).
Discovering State Variables Hidden in Experimental Data
A relatively close-knit, high-trust society, with a lot of housewives eager to make themselves some money in a socially acceptable way?
Completely anecdotal but this might be related to the notion of it being the MLM capital as well. Most marry young and settle down quickly. The notion of a housewife being able to contribute monetarily is infatuating. This coupled with the fact that Mormons (typically) are trustworthy of insiders means frauds and MLMs can spread virally.

Entire communities would get caught up in the latest herbal essence MLM.
Solar is not the only clean, cheap energy source. Wind coexists nicely with agriculture.

And, constructed reservoirs are not the only still water. California has estimated it can gather 12 GW just from its canals.

Solar may also usefully be sited on active pastureland, which is not in short supply. There, it reduces water demand and offers shelter for livestock. Livestock keeps down weeds.

There is a fair amount of industrial roofing in use, where solar extends its life. Some people have already installed there.

If you have to resort to "it's better than fossil fuels" you have damned nuclear with faint praise. And you have also wasted our time, because nuclear is competing with renewables now, not with fossil fuels.
The minds behind the FSF were very much influenced by anarchist philosophy. The implementation uses the state because anarchism isn’t practical. As I said, they’ve been convinced the movement has failed since it’s inception and that we live in the dystopia they envisioned.

Despite their mission having been an overwhelming success.
“OSI open source” would not have the problem you speculate on. I’m sure there are other alternatives that could also work to solve this problem.

At this point, the counter problem is growing: the legitimate alternative meanings of the term “open source” are getting more used as time goes, not less, and speaking personally I don’t think maintenance or blog posts is going to fix it. Creative Commons licenses got pretty good at this by adding more words to each variant of their license titles. What about that? There’s an inherent problem with hoping to keep a term as short and generic as “open source”, when the issues you care about are separate from whether you’re allowed to look at the source.

Angry Japanese Freakout – Gaijin's Fault or Not?
No I have it right, because most people stop listening when you talk about more abstract “freedom” when what they’ve got is literally (the good) and abstractly (the implementation) free.

Interesting that those are all high trust societies. Im left wondering if itis the chicken or the egg?
Empirically, I'm getting about the same results from my 1 page and my 2 page CV, based on call back rates, funnel progression, and interviewer comments. Go ahead and use two pages if the incremental content is relevant to your overall pitch.

(In my case the extra material is relevant... I've run pricing at five companies, which is usually a massively cross-functional job. Unlike my typical competitor, I've also mastered most of the supporting technical, accounting, and commercial disciplines... which makes me a one stop shop for serious pricing problems.)
Those who have enough wealth that they don't need employment to live comfortably. Not sure what this has to do with my post unless you were trying to argue that it's fine for ex-cons to be perpetually among the unemployed; in that case, the idea of our "corrections systems" helping people who do anti-social behavior become productive members of society again is even more of a sham that it already is, so why don't we just go ahead and give all felons the chair?

Is the discussion not productive already?
