I mostly agree, except corporations aren't being helped; people are. Might be through higher dividend payments to shareholders, higher salaries to employees or lower prices to consumers, but the corporation isn't a thing in itself that benefits.
> ideally VB6 should have been able to use VC6 headers or even C sources directly just by making them part of the project

You could access compiled DLLs from C and C++ projects within Visual Basic. Not quite the same thing as headers I know but it did at least fill that gap that you described.
No, I’m talking about literal hemp fibers: https://youtu.be/QJAIFJtiRQo

That’s the traditional way of sealing joints. No chemicals, just hemp and your own saliva (you usually don’t have running water nearby when doing plumbing).
Goldisthal [0], Markersbach [1] and Żarnowiec [2] exist and are quite significant. Also, the Młoty pumped hydro storage project is being worked on again after 33 years.

The best sites for this have been taken already, but there is still some potential in new sites and optimisation of existing ones.

While it can be dangerous preparedness is what matters. I've lived in a desert that reaches 115 degrees in summer my entire life. It's not a place you'd visit from somewhere more temperate but it is survivable, even without AC. So-called dry heat is far easier to deal with. The afternoons after a major thunderstorm are typically the worst of all worlds. Generally, if you avoid staying in the sun, stay hydrated, and seek shelter from around 11am to 4pm it's not so bad. Peak badness occurs between 2-4pm in my region.

That's not to say its _easy_ and without AC it can be uncomfortable. But you can survive. If you have an RV, fans, perhaps a make shift swamp cooler, and tin foil on the windows could get the internal temp down below 80 pretty easily.

Generally speaking anything over 100 degrees can be dangerous to the under prepared. At 110 degrees direct sun exposure can be lethal if you are not drinking approx. a quart of water per hour of exposure. But it _all_ comes down to exposure. Shelter changes the entire game.
I think to solve this properly you first need to fix Bluetooth audio.

I would have no problem having an open channel on discord for example for the team to pop in and out but doing so forces my Bluetooth headphones into 'microphone' profile and dramatically lowers the audio quality.

Give me an option that allows me to have my music playing on full quality or an audiobook etc, then id happily leave a call open and muted.
I am also curious how this period in movies will hold over time. Older movies with more practical effects (such as Star Wars) still have a very crisp look to them while newer movies look blurry and bloomy due to the heavy post processing.
I would if it wasn't paywalled.
Yes, and? Currently less than 35% of the German gas comes from Russia. Leaves way enough for electricity. The question is only, who gets cuts, if there isn't enough gas in the winter. The law says, industry first, heating second. The only debate is, how much cuts to private heating are a good trade off for supporting the industry. And as the Germany are very protective of the industry, there will probably a compromise of somewhat reduced heating (just wear a sweater instead of a t-shirt) and keeping all industry alive. Also of course, all companies are scrambling to secure their energy needs.
This is how you deal with looming crisises: you identify them, you act to prepare. And suddenly the worst is no longer a thread. German gas storage is already filled up to 75%.
The wikipage for the Bullwhip effect is a good place to start. The ASCM has some blog posts about this topic as well (https://www.ascm.org/ascm-insights/).

At the core of the current problems are the demand and aupply shocks caused by Covid and lockdowns early on in the pandemic. You can think of it as the same thing that impacted toilet paper, just on a global scale across all industries. Tgen we had the mess of containers not being where they should be (again, due to covid lockdowns and shipping disruptions) which made a recovery from the lockdown induced disruptions difficult. On top of that we have the war in Ukraine, which cut of Ukraine and Russia from flobal trade. While it seems that everything is coming from Ukraine at the moment, it is true that some things do, especially food stuffs and automotive parts. That happened while global supply chains still coped with the effects of Covid disruptions.

What JIT did, again not as a root cause, was to make these disruptions being felt much faster due to lower inventory levels. Not that any JIT was in place between suppliers in China and customers in, e.g. Europe so. With that long trabsportation lead times JIT is just impossible.

Tge alternative so, having huge buffer stocks, would have helped neither. Simply because one component shortage can bring supply chains down. Holding ebough stock of everything to buffer those global issues would require so much inventory that nobody can afford it, or the resulting products. High inventory has its own challenges so, and not per se resilient.

In the puplic mind JIT is associated with zero inventory (JIT aims for the minimum inventory which is never zero in reality). The current issues are, in the publics view, easily explained by insufficient inventory (which they are not). So it is easy to combine those two and blame JIT for everything.

The matching exercise is beautiful. I would match Elon Musk to Doctor Faustus; the fires he wants to ride on his way to heaven would definitely be considered a manifestation of hell by the ancients.
And a very good health. Doing this sedentary job for long hours and not getting issues is very difficult, unless you use most of your free time doing some sports or other intense physical activity or you have very good genetics.
If quoting Marx didn't convey the ridiculousness of this article, I'll state it clearly: this is a sure way to depression and no-one will start a revolution while they're busy scrolling Twitter on their leased iPhones.

You shouldn't do more than you're contracted to do, don't work overtime, work smart.
Within the hours you're working and within the amount of stress you can tolerate, give your best, take responsibility and take the best decisions. Sure, if your employer win you're not guaranteed a win (hence why you're not overworking, and why people with equity tend to overwork more) but there is a higher chance of personal fortune if your employer doesn't go broke.
So far those EV chargers are mostly funded by government incentives and store owners trying to attract rich clients.

When the EV charger industry gets cutthroat competitive on the service itself, the requirements to use an app will probably vanish because they don't want you to pass on their charger just because of the friction of signing up.
A small number of people realised that they can get vastly rich individually by telling large numbers of people they should passively consume media instead of actually living...
this remind me ruby...
> But in the economists wet dream the automated, humanless solution wins by being cheaper.

Because the consumers will, usually, choose to go to the cheaper store.

> Absolutely, because you have no need to pay additional squishy meat sacks when people/shoppers can do the work themselves with self checkout. Externalise the cost onto the customer.

As opposed to the "squishy meat"'s salary, which is paid by... whom?

Also, I'd say that the actual scanning is not the most "labor-intensive" / annoying part of the checkout process, but moving the products out of the basket, onto the cash register, back in the bag. And even with regular checkout, the customer does that. With self-checkout, you can actually do the scanning while moving the product from the basket to your bag, which means handling it only once.
> 1 gallon of gas contains 33.7 kWh of energy. [1]
The average ICE car goes 24 miles on 1 gallon of gas. That's 0.7 miles per kWh (24/33.7 ≅ 0.7).
The Tesla Model 3 goes about 4.1 miles per kWh. That's 5.8x further per kWh, or 5.8x more efficient!

Doesn’t this ignore how the fuel was produced, and delivered (refineries, fuel trucks, power plants, charger losses)? Are those losses negligible compared to the 1kWh once inside the battery or fuel tank? If so, then the comparison is fair
As I read this title, for whatever reason, I imagined Walk Out Technology as being some kind of worker’s union SaaS and had to do a double take.

I’m not intending to be unproductively facetious mind you, those types of specialized SaaS offerings that let workers operate and organize and educate should exist, and if AWS ever wanted to spend PR money in the right place… eh? Eh?

In what way were they demolished? Cars allow for urban sprawl. People now have homes in places where they rely on cars to get to work.

I also have a theory that widespread WFH makes dense cities obsolete. Dense cities seem to originate from big money appearing somewhere and everyone building around it, eventually reaching the typical situation where the highest-paid can afford to live there and everyone else commutes in and out. If the housing, roads, or public transit are expanded, more people come and saturate them again, because the commute is worth the pay. (If it's just roads, such commutes are super polluting.) But when the execs and higher-paid workers don't need to be there in person, it dominoes. There's no extra money to be made providing physical goods/services in that area, and no incentive for such a forced commute or crammed living quarters. Physical laborers end up working locally, and more isolated, less dense, lower-income but lower-cost-of-living cities form. I used to work in SF and observe these things closely, and now I'm watching what happens as many of the techies leave.
At the point that they design their emoji from scratch? Emojipedia shows you what they look like on a variety of platforms, the blog post shows they look a lot like they started with Apple's (although in fairness WhatsApp's look very similar as well).
But Superman with a mustache would have looked weird.
I thought this was one the most interesting talks given at HotChips the year when it was presented. I also think when people post about it here and over at Reddit or Real World Tech there's a lot of pointless hand wringing about how terrible VLIW was back in the day.
That was speculation by the article's author.
"Ship the orgchart".
The point is that future people will think us insane for making disposable things that are not decomposable or recyclable.
> Perhaps the apex of this creative fatigue was Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which underwent extensive reshoots but didn’t have enough of an effects budget to cover that new footage adequately. As a result, the effects in the opening sequence of the film are about as convincing as a Windows 98 screensaver. One supervisor expressed to Defector their exasperation not only with the process on that film, but with the startlingly inert creative choices that went into it.

> “When you see something like the first third of Doctor Strange, you’re like, Why not do something more interesting, where you’re not straining your budget and 1,000 artists to try and make something that you know is going to look substandard? Why not try something else when you have a good director like Sam Raimi?“

... followed by the original paragraph.

There's no big shocking revelation that backs up the "not a cohesive whole" point imo.
It would be very silly indeed if the anticompetitive bundling of memoji (apple's competing high res emoji for messaging) is the hill they chose to die on, after finally letting Netflix link to their own subscription payments on the web.
> it would be wise to invest in a world where we move more towards these superior modes of transportation

This simply is pre-WWII urban planning. We used to have sustainable cities and comprehensive passenger rail systems before we teared them down for cars and suburbia.
Too sad, because the partitioning of OpenBSD is why i don't use it, with ZFS you could just do a dataset throw x^w,nosuid etc on them and give them a quota, with ffs one can bet that you run out of space (earlier or later), in one of the partitions (Workstation NOT Server).
Yes I meant steelwool. My opinion is that all the scratches dont hurt stainless but are hurting the cast irons seasoning.

Thats my problem with cast iron. I cant be rough with them

At the end most pans work good if used correctly and its a personal preference ;)
I honestly could do with way simpler VFX if the end result at least had something like style or a vision to it. One result of this highly sophisticated and expensive pipeline seems to be that everything looks sort of generic. The superhero productions in particular, don't know how to describe it but visually they all basically look like the equivalent of what Material design is for apps.

i want something like Sin City or Hannibal (the tv show) again, I wouldn't really care if it's not the most technically sophisticated thing ever made.
Side projects are good for your day job
Hayes Code was way more restrictive than most kind of "censorships" that people complain nowdays. Not to mention that standards for what obscenity is, were way lower than today and public reactions were as or even more histerical then today.
Clickbait title. There's a big "if xyz happens" in the original statement.
Don't you switch employers to get promotions nowadays anyways?
A single “pause” (traffic light, roundabout, stop sign, even just a speed camera or change in speed limit…) in the stretch of the east-west road leading up to the roundabout can usually solve this. You only need occasional breaks in traffic to allow the secondary traffic to join.
For me I describe it as laziness vs tiredness (my English is probably not that advanced ;)).

The difficultly is that in both states, you don't feel like doing anything.

If someone has a quick way to distinguish between lazy and tired, I would love to know.
The South Pole is also at risk from sufficiently large impact events elsewhere on Earth.

You'll also note that humans do in fact have a permanent settlement there.
Sounds like "art" to me.
The Matrix was great because the VFX supported the practical FX.

In Matrix reloaded they replaced them.

The result was inferior.
Which processes? When, why, and how will they become exponential?
That article explicitly states that it doesn’t account for the energy or emissions required to produce the fuel.

The lifecycle emissions of an EV depend on how the electricity was generated, and the total emissions of cycling depends on the diet of the cyclist - even though the energy per distance is the same regardless.
I'm concerned that you've selectively ignored parts of my comment and have read meaning out of it that I did not put into it.

>do you have any justification for why obsessing over alienation is bad?

Obsessing over alienation is bad for Marxists (and good for capitalists). As I said, Marxists are not being serious (maybe credible is a better word here) when using alienation to critique capitalism. Of the economic systems in discussion, capitalism has the least alienation. Marxist solutions are either pure fantasy, or have been tried and lead to worse outcomes and other socio-economic systems sfrom history are also worse than capitalism. In other words, Marxist concerns with alienation are hypocritical.

>do you think workers would be better off if they were not alienated?

Again, I'm discussing the Marxist use of alienation and how they undercut themselves when discussing it.

> Would you say it's a good or bad thing that all of an employee's work product (during and outside of office hours) belongs to the company (assuming you accept my premise that this is enforced)?

Nothing in my comment can be taken as arguing one way or another on this topic. However, given that you've decided to focus on the goodness/badness of alienation, it sounds like it's important to you. How do you feel about alienation?
I actually meant to refer to PEP 526 when I said "python 3.5", thanks for that correction!

Also thanks about pointing out the syntax change for variadic generics! I still think my overall point about pace of "syntactic innovation" in static typing remaining slow stands, though. Just comparing equivalent typescript and python constructs:

This in TS:

{ member?: string, other_member: string }

is currently in python:

from typing import TypedDict

class SmallerObj(TypedDict, total=False):
member: str

class Obj(SmallerObj):
other_member: str

Python 3.11 will shorten the above to:

from typing import TypedDict, NotRequired

class Obj(TypedDict):
member: NotRequired[str]
other_member: str

But still ...
This reminds me of the classic "if you wash recycling with water heated with electricity generated with coal it's not very carbon efficient".

Yes, that might be true, but it's the "coal" that's the issue, not the recycling. It says so little useful about recycling that it's basically a lie. But it does suggest we should phase out coal, not just to make recycling cleaner, but for everyone that uses electricity.

Similarly, I assume this study looked at red-meat reared in a GHG callous manner. Which says basically nothing about bicycles, but does tell us that we should take the obvious steps we're already aware of to decarbonize food. Not because it helps cyclists be more efficient, but because it's a smart thing to do for everyone who eats.

> Indeed, the use of fertilizers, methane gas released from livestock like cattle and massive food waste all contribute to the vast carbon footprint of food production. Since land is both a source and a sink of CO2, land-clearing for new agricultural terrain in tandem with deforestation drives harmful emissions, equating to approximately 26% of the global total.
Yep, that's what happens - it pools.

Modern standards in many G20 countries require new (and rennovating) houses in radon prone areas to provide appropriate ventilation.

Geographically in also pools in still valleys, often during the night and morning with radon 'clouds' clearing from the floor by afternoon (as can be seen when processing airborne radiometric survey data and applying radon removal filtering to normalise U-Y-Th maps).
maybe the scope of your direct team is too small, try a combined office hours with several related teams cohosting? at least you have each other to chat to if noone shows up.
Amateur coders always have flocked to the simple and unfashionable stuff. Basic used to be big for this reason. Javascript took off for this reason as well. Web designers could just copy paste javascript fragments in their web pages and get some simple things working. And python seems to appeal to a lot of amateur coders with non computer science backgrounds. At least I know a lot of people with physics, chemistry, bio medical, etc. backgrounds that seem to mainly know python.

Objectively, none of these languages are particularly good at what they do and there are other languages that tend to be preferred by people who code for a living. But these are harder to learn and have higher barrier for entry. You typically need some theoretical background and experience.

I've used all of the above BTW. I learned programming using the manual that came with my Commodore 64 in the eighties (Basic, obviously). I kind of like Python for some things. Javascript is fine for simple things. None of these are my first choice of language but I can work with these languages. They are very approachable languages. Just open an editor and start adapting code.

There's a lot of language snobbery out there where objectively, the advantages aren't that huge or dramatic as people like to believe.
That completely violates the idea of demand deposits whose entire purpose is to be immediately available.
I’m certain we’re missing something in that article. An electric bike shouldn’t be more efficient than a normal bike - it’s heavier and the wind resistance is the same. My first guess is that the power use for the electric assist only considers the electric assist, not the human riders portion.
Fuller context:

“Nuclear energy is one of the most dangerous forms of energy as one mistake in handling nuclear power can cause loss of many lives and damage for centuries. Hence, it is a policy by all the United Nations members to reduce the use of nuclear energy. There is no doubt that the development of nuclear energy has a significant effect on coal, oil, and gas. Most G20 countries do not make their nuclear energy consumption data available due to the government policy…”

Sure seeing a lot of negatives with this paper.
>it was based on... a video game of all things

And the Uncharted games are great. They have good characterization, good writing and funny comedy bits. None of these were present in the movie.
Scala is going to get "full" dependent types at some point. It's work in progress for a long time already (and it's actually quite close by now).

Besides that your argumentation makes no sens anyway whatsoever:

Fully dependent languages are undecidable by type inference alone. So you're forced "to write everything twice" especially in such a powerful language. But that's actually the whole point of it! Like you duplicate large chunks of your code when writing tests to verify your code in a dynamic language that exact same "duplication" in code when using proper static types is what actually helps to avoid casual errors. But the difference is of course that in the later case the machine can verify that both parts match up (which it can't in case of usual tests!).

On a side note: Why have you such strong opinions about typed languages if you didn't had much used a proper one at all as you say? Of course a type system like that of Java or C/C++ is a huge PITA, but that says nothing at all about static typing in general. Actually quite the contrary as Java's type system is especially painful (and therefore you need to cast your way through the whole time, which is not what static types are for in the first place). But you make general statements about static typing here the whole time. That doesn't seem justified imho.
