Related recent anecdote: while the higher-ups at my company have been pushing terrible, burnout-inducing policies on us, my immediate manager is extremely supportive to the extent he's able to be (and always has been). When I recently told him how burned out I am and how I want to quit and find a better job, but the job I'm looking for would require skills that I'd need to learn first, his response was, "Don't quit... until you have those skills... which by the way, you have access to educational resources from the company via Udemy... the access is meant to be to advance your current job, but you have access to everything if you... wanted to check it out... just sayin'. And also apply to the jobs you think you're not qualified for yet, you may be surprised."

In other words, rather than saying "don't quit, it's a bad idea", he said, "it's a bad idea to just quit, here's some resources and advice on a better way to quit; I'll miss you" :D

Something that would be REALLY useful would be to have indications of food allergy ingredients found in the menus of restaurants. It's really disappointing to hear about a great restaurant, and then find out that they have something that causes severe[1] reactions on the menu and so we can't go there.

There are several lists of common allergens on the web. There are enough that perhaps it would be better to let you specify the ones you care about, and either mark them prominently, or just don't show them.

1. By "severe" I mean that someone who got even a small fraction of, e.g., a peanut could die from anaphylactic shock. It's real.
I find a bunch of the decisions in Make to not be great - but it's all just syntax stuff.

At its core all a Makefile is is a dependency graph, which is necessary in all the more advanced config managers, only those others are much more heavyweight than the vast majority of projects ever need. Most code doesn't need to vary arguments or parameters based on the target environment, and so that complexity is unneeded, in which case a Makefile can do it all.
It's not just about the provenance. I don't think the bitcoin market can stomach a 20 billion sell-off, no matter who does it.
1. Recall bias is a fancy concept to whip out, but now sure I follow how you think it applies here or helps your point: "I am kinda racist now but I was even MORE racist against Asians in the past" Huh?

2. You can't just ignore a poll because the results don't match your message and then just say: "Oh, well, we can't even trust the results of this poll guys. All the racists will just say they aren't racists... cuz, cmon, we like KNOW there are SOOO many racists!"

3. Hate crime reporting has increased because HOW these incidents are now reported has changed in the past ~18 months at the Federal and local levels. Are there fewer or more of these incidents? Is there some trend? I don't think less than 2 years of data can tell us much of anything.

I find it interesting that when this argument fails to find any actual evidence it reverts to vigorous hand waving and asking us to believe there is some growing contingent of illusive racist boogeymen.

Enough with the fear mongering.

It's mentioned only briefly in this WSJ article, but the problem for this coming winter (and perhaps some years to come) is unexpected stress corrosion cracking recently discovered in multiple French reactors. The affected reactors are the newest currently-operating models, the N4 series [1]. Here's are a few longer articles about the problem:

Even the most pro-nuclear scenario the French came up (N03) includes 50% of renewable. And we are talking about one of the most nuclearized country in the world.

Nuclear is a great ally but not a silver bullet. They need to ramp up the production of renewable energy immediately.

I think a better way to phrase this is - extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Being present myself is a good litmus test, but humans are pretty unreliable. Having multiple corroborated credible sources would be much better. E.G. multiple radars detecting an object approaching, many videos from different view points, governments (who have access to better data sources) scrambling interceptors, defcon level rising, etc..
This is a topic that really frustrates me. Both sides make valid (non-technical, character-based) attacks on the other. On one extreme there is the textbook fringe pseudoscientist who calls out groupthink but constantly falls into fallacies rather than focusing on explaining empirical observations with the simplest and most accurate way possible. On the other extreme there is the career pseudoscientist who calls out the poor form of the fringe while not bothering to apply the appropriate level of scientific rigor to them either.

It's unfortunate simply how much ego is involved in this area. I'm not a plasma physicist. I'm not a cosmologist. I can just see when the idyllic scientific method is being short circuited.

For a quick toe-dipping in to Alfvein cosmology: check out the sci-hub for the 1986 IEEE Peratt paper "Evolution of the Plasma Universe: II. The Formation of Systems of Galaxies".

I'm not saying all elements of one model should be thrown out. Let's go one mystery at a time. How does galaxy evolution sound? Forget even trying to be certain of the Big Bang or alternatives until that's nailed down.
It's already slatted. TBH, the fence has never been properly repaired, due to materials on hand and a certain impatient father-in-law. The posts should be buried 4 ft deep and bedded in a 3-or-4 inch wide concrete base. But going to check on the place and fixing the fence is kind of a ritual now, a good excuse to get out to the country. Beautiful wide-open tranquility.
Where do you see that mentioned? When I ctrl+f for 'hour' I only see "€900 a megawatt-hour" and "equivalent to about $1,850, a megawatt-hour", but no MWh/h or hour per hour or something.
There are approximately 6.5e13 tonnes (65 trillion) of Uranium in the Earth's crust, which smarter people than me have determined could power humanity's needs for more than 4 billion years.

That sounds more "renewable" than Solar, which depends on a Star that is due to burn out in 4 billion years and is conventionally branded as "renewable". Not including the ample amount of fissionable material on the Moon and in the immediate Solar System. So I agree, we need to invest heavily into renewables, specifically the one that is right in front of our face, Nuclear.
Papua, not Papa.
Yeah, this line of reasoning is exceedingly silly. Stethoscopes can be used to help crack safes, should the people who make them be in legal jeopardy as a result? Good luck convincing anyone to invest in innovation in that kind of legal environment, my friends.

Demonstrating that there's one legitimate use should probably be sufficient in most cases. If you want to be uptight you can think about adding a requirement that the best fit use case must always be legitimate
But why wouldn’t they like VLC?
I don't see anything in the original research that suggests it is "tech". I think the article completely made this up.

To be pedantic, nearly all of the material that we are made of came from other stars, manufactured in their nuclear fusion and supernovae. I think what they mean is a macroscopic object that was formed in another star system, which they've inferred from its incoming trajectory.

I've worked at several companies that use points.

My take away is this: For the most part - treat them like a game of "whose line is it anyways": https://youtu.be/9KAGwNtI26w?t=17

But you roughly need to understand what the company is trying to do - namely: Someone has a job to pick features that we know customers want, and they've been tasked to provide the most value as quickly as possible.

This means someone has to try to guess roughly how long it will take for a feature to materialize, and weigh that against the value it will provide to customers (and then the company - since we're paid by customers).

It's a shit job, but as long as it's clear that teams will screw it up, and that point velocity DOES NOT continually increase over time (unless devs are lying), and everyone understands why they're getting asked - it can be a reasonably productive way to lay out timelines.
Many reports of drought in europe, I had wondered where that water went (it doesn't just evaporate into space...right?)
The intro is fairly humorous, the "post-apocalyptic" framing is really tongue in cheek, at least to my reading.

I think you're taking it far too literally, and analyzing a joke to death.

(E.g. a random other quote from the article: "I will be using C to keep the grim atmosphere of the apocalypse, but you may try this exercise in a different language, of course." This is not a serious "what to do in case of apocalypse" thing.)
The article basically states that the reason the government banned it was because Chinese actors were using VideoLAN products (VLC) to deploy malware loaders onto citizens' devices.

I don't understand why they banned videolan.org though. It's a French website, and I'd assume the Chinese actors were bundling malware when VLC was installed from another website and not videolan.org.

Videolan.org is EXACTLY where VLC should be downloaded from to ensure the software you download is malware free - ironically, I'd expect banning the VLC website to increase VLC downloads from alternative sources, and thus increasing the possibility of the user downloading malware.

If discord has too few selectors (IP, email, browser fingerprint, useragent, behavior) to identify you from or they are too generic, they will demand that you use a phone number. Low-reputation IP addresses do this especially, you'll be locked right out of an account for using one. I'd rather be able to just pay them money for an account than have to go use a VPS or residential proxy in order to avoid the phone requirement.

Of course, you're right: it is absolutely feasible that such a valuable trip is possible and happens. You're right that a truly valuable trip is rightfully charged a fare. And finally you're also right that such trips are probably unusual. I would go so far as to say rare.

What's much more common than that rare scenario is that, after paying a fare, you get down to the platform only to find that there's a long delay in the system, there are too many people trying to get on the trains, or something similar that causes you to leave the station to find saner transport. I've been bitten by this on BART, more than once. At stations in the heart of the city you "start the trip" triggering the fare long before you can see any of the platforms to know whether or not you should enter.

Back to the point. The problem isn't that you're wrong in asserting a valuable excursion trip is possible, but that you use that fact to rationalize the charging of a fare while ignoring the much more common cases where you'd charge a fare while delivering no value for money. Once you consider the complete picture it becomes clear that the right thing to do is build policy around the common case, not the rare/hypothetical one. It would be better to eat the cost of the rare valuable trip BART should charge for so that they don't charge people for trips they couldn't actually deliver.

> “My technical assessment of the potential consequences hasn’t changed from back in March, but it does appear now that the likelihood of some damage that could potentially endanger the reactors and spent fuel storage is increasing, and Russia’s use of the facility as a shield to deter Ukrainian counterattacks is, of course, an outrage and possibly a war crime,” Ed Lyman, director of nuclear power safety at the Union of Concerned Scientists, said. “And the stress the Ukrainian plant staff is under must be at a breaking point, only strengthening the concern about their ability to react in the event that the plant is damaged in a way that requires operator action to save it.”

If you believe:

* Nuclear power is the best choice to reduce climate-forcing effects of power generation

* The nation you live in is at risk of declining political stability in the near future

How does that inform your opinions?
Yeah certainly agree with you with regards to age of city + car dynamic. I live in north seattle now and most neighborhoods around here don't have sidewalks - got hit by a car while biking last year (could happen anywhere) and am not savvy with the idea of biking for transit in my area either.
That's kind of the reasoning for why I mentioned "it could make sense on paper" - some neighborhoods in the cities of topic are quite walkable, close to public transit and local infrastructure, but many aren't. In the scope of seattle neighborhoods like Ballard and West Seattle are pretty "walkable" locally but not really globally.
In comparison SF is probably more "walkable" because there are at least sidewalks throughout.

Guess the original point is I wonder how walkability scores are calculated and what criteria are considered - presumably for a city as a whole it's an aggregate of the scores of the constituent neighborhoods (how ratings can "make sense on paper" but differ between residents throughout)

In regards to the article mentioned about SF being a good biking city - I laughed because in my extensive experience the best biking in the area is heading north across the gg bridge and in to marin and beyond. But that's beyond the scope of any "city" centric rankings
It's not usually a waterflow issue, rather water that is too warm to cool the reactor.

This won't be a problem in the winter.

And in the future they'll probably design the reactors to handle the warmer water, or even run without water (lower efficiency, but that's not really an issue for nuclear).
Not drinking hot water is mainly about Legionnaires disease. To reduce exposure to lead from contaminated piping, you must wait until the sitting water is flushed out before using it for consumption, however this does nothing if the entire piping is lead, you have to replace it.
The thing I dislike about cast iron cookware is that it is extremely heavy. I sprained my elbow last year and couldn’t use any of my cast iron pans for three months. My mom hates them too, and avoids using them whenever she visits.
The title is a little silly. It’s from outside our solar system, but there’s zero evidence suggesting it’s technological or made by aliens. It’s just a meteor that was going really fast, and it was made of something that was sturdy enough not to break up too much.
What's an ENR?

What makes you conclude that, because they're not choosing it, it must be not a silver bullet? What are the actual reasons behind this? I see some stats in french on page 17, not sure if it also mentions reasons somewhere. (E.g. germany is also not choosing it, but for the stupid reason of the public being riled up (mislead) about its risks by various parties for decades, so now it's not politically acceptable anymore to leave nuclear running while phasing out coal, let alone build more nuclear. In such a case, I would not use "oh germany is not choosing it, must be bad then" as a reason to conclude "nuclear is not a silver bullet".)
And of course that The Economist just published this article in their latest issue: "After a long break-up, Silicon Valley and the military-industrial complex are getting back together" [1] . Maybe I should submit it as a dedicated post.

At the time we designed the StatefulSet, the resize behavior hadn’t been designed / finalized.

Now that it has, it’s really a matter of someone having the time and patience to drive it though. I don’t know whether someone has sorted out all the design implications (like what happens if someone adds new resource requests, or what happens if a new resource request is rejected, and how that gets reported to the user), but it’s a small change that needs a fair amount of design thought, which tends to be hard to drive through.
The difference is that one provides privacy exclusively to money launderers, while the other is a generic tool which anyone can use to obtain financial privacy.
It's been quite a while since I rode BART (I interned in SF in 2014, and visited briefly again I think in 2015), but I remember noticing that in the list of fares for different stops from the given station you're in, riding to the end of the line was actually cheaper than stopping at the airport (the second-to-last stop IIRC) on one of the lines. Basically, since they knew more people would get off at the airport than the stop past it, they charged more to get off there. I never did ride all the way to the end of the line, but I assumed that they made sure to hike the price from that stop to the airport as well so you couldn't purposely go there, get off, and then reboard to save a few bucks (although I imagine the time spent doing that wouldn't really be worth it to most people anyhow).
This is much more than entertainment. These posts have citations and the same academic rigor as a typical academic publication. They're just packaged in a more approachable and accessible format.

However, these posts are not doing original research which does distinguish them from the main activity of academics. They're essentially brief survey papers (works that summarize the existing publications on a given topic). This is not a knock against ACoUP. These posts are excellent and I enjoy them immensely. They're just not setting out to accomplish the objectives that most academics are trying to achieve.
> This kind of behaviour is not related to us or our religion, no matter what the fundamentalists say.

Who gets to say what is done in the name of your religion? There are plenty of islamic clerics (of all stripes) who support these actions and there are many followers of these clerics who do the same. While your denunciation of these activities is commendable it does not mean all your fellows in Mohammed are in agreement. Where the Catholic church has a clearly defined leadership structure which gets to say what goes and what does not in the name of the church this is not the case for Islam nor is it the case for the various Christian Protestant denominations. The lack of a central leadership figure or council means that the denunciation of these activities has to come from the adherents of your religion - like you did here. It also means those adherents need to speak up in public about their denunciation and they need to pressure their leaders - of which there are many - to do the same. It is this what is lacking and it is this what has made it possible for Khomeini's fatwa to still be in force after decades. Speak up and speak loudly, have your mullahs and imams and other leaders do the same so that eventually the fatwa - and all similar fatwas - will be nullified. Until this happens, until those leaders clearly state that they denounce the actions of both those leaders which have called for such manhunts as well as those who heeded those calls it can not be said that those calls are not made in the name of your religion.
It’s a lot more rare now in my experience. Role queue locks you into at least 2-2-2, and open queue everyone kinda knows you’re getting 4 or 5 DPS anyways. Even in role queue off meta picks you might get a try hard annoyed every once in a while, but generally isn’t so bad.

If these are indeed secret government projects, you’d wonder why did taxpayers ever fund a trillion+ dollar F-35 program that keeps running into problems year after year.

Surely these black ops operations couldn’t have had a bigger budget than the F-35 (if they did, you’d ask how did they source the funds?). And if they didn’t, how were they able to get these experimental aircraft to fly better and faster than the trillion dollar F-35 jets - decades ago? And if they were, why are we not funding these hypersonic gravity defying jets instead of an evolutionary upgrade to 4th gen fighter planes.

I do this regularly, and to the extent that I'm able I put the task in the description so that my team knows more or less what I'm prioritizing. You can also create recurring OOO and Focus Time events now, so I have lunch blocked off and 30min at the end of each day to prepare for the next. It's a secret super power to staying on top of things and creating rituals that help me sign off at a reasonable hour instead of sliding into unproductively and less time with family.

Really, my only gripe with Google Calendar at this point is that you can't define custom colors nor label those colors. I use that feature heavily now to give me an at a glance view of which projects or activities my time is going to on a weekly basis. The colors don't have consistency across months though because I have to re-use colors for different purposes.
