This is false. Pascal arrays start at whatever you want. As for what is happening behind closed doors (aka linker), those start at zero, but with an offset kept separately (that's why C blew out of the water Pascal in terms of speed when looping through an array). And in Pascal you cannot create a dynamic array with anything other than 0-based.

You are confusing arrays with strings. Those used to start at 1, but since Unicode took over (~2007) strings are implemented as zero-based too (even though you can still think of them as 1-based when writing code).

Also in Delphi, when creating a cross-platform application, strings are treated as 0-based, with even multiple locations in documentation stressing this importance due to having enough differences between classic VCL and the new kid on the block (aka FireMonkey).
If you lower this to, say, 75%, a good analysis will show that a renewables grid with zero storage is possible around the world.

Storage is only required for the last n% and n is much larger than most people realize. If we accept that the energy economy will shift with supply-and-demand based pricing, what can actually happen is having peak production oversupply which will find users with its lower prices enabling off-peak-production to be high enough to meet peak demand. (this is a kind of thing that maybe needs blog posts with graphs to make the most sense)

We would be in a very much better place if we were near n and it's probably not worth worrying that much yet because n is also quite far away.
Streaming services are wising up to this, and are starting to no longer dump entire seasons. They're also testing out expiring episodes before an entire season is finished.
beg pardon I wasn't aware sql actually defined empty. of the engines I'm familiar with there is no keyword for empty like what gp is asking for (and I hold my argument for why it should not be necessary). it sounds like what you're describing is a blank string and I agree with using blanks to distinguish between "has no phone number" and "we don't know their phone number" but that isn't what gp was talking about.
In Western music theory, intervals are one based. No pitch change is "unison"; one diatonic step is a "major second" and so on. As a result of this silly state of affairs, an octave occurs every 7 notes, even though the root "oct" means eight. Furthermore, a "rule of nines" is needed to invert an interval: e.g. inversion of minor 3rd is a major 6th (exchange major/minor, subtract from 9).
I disagree. If I can avoid an index variable, I’m going to have less bugs since I won’t have to index.
In France, it is called the rez-de-chaussée. The “premier étage” (literally translated as “first floor”) is what the US calls the second floor.
I imagine the replacement process for an EVs battery pack also is involved and requires a lot of work. I also imagine the official replacement process will not involve individual cell replacement and will likely be an entire pack that may also include BMS units or other components.
That’s the trick - sometimes, if you don’t add the features, you lose share because the market has shifted and now a different set of features are what is valued. So you can either patch and lose focus, or not patch and lose customers.
Role of dementia proteins in normal memory
Having SELECT come first makes sense to me because it's the only part of the statement that's required. FROM and everything else is optional.

Also when reading a statement, you're mostly interested in what the returned fields are rather details like where they came from or how they're ordered. It kind of makes sense to put it at the start.

Maybe other syntax forms have their benefits, specially when writing, but I don't think SQL's choice is completely senseless either.
I've also repaid all my debts, with some family help and a good job after college. I worked all through college, at minimum wage or slightly above, and that barely made a dent. I will be paying for this through my taxes, and I fully support student debt forgiveness.

I'd love to know when you managed to do this, and how much you were making. Did you have any family help?
Thanks for the answer, but, predictably that somehow felt worst than not knowing.
I think I said this a few months ago, but the main difference is that I'm not paying for all those services all the time.

I only get HBO when the entire next season is out of something I am watching.

Prime is probably the exception, however even for that, with inflation I'm considering cancelling that too and just upping my Amazon orders past the $35 (or whatever it is) minimum to get free shipping.

Point is, Cable is like one giant minimum price of boring with ads. Individual services are better even if I can't watch some netflix show right now, I can do so after I cancel Hulu or whatever I am binging is done.

>"Setting goals with timelines is not insincere, grandstanding, or hypocritical."

Having a timeline is not the main issue, the issue is that the timeline seems aggressive and the perception is that there isn't enough to enable this transition. It is like how a politician campaigns on reducing the deficit or 'reforming education' but there is little substance or viability with their stance.

> All you really need is a standard 120V outdoor outlet at each spot.

1) While that does technically work, it will be pretty slow. My Tesla Model Y charges 3-5 miles of range per hours on a 120V outlet. Perhaps fast enough for most though.

2) I was just in the Canadian Rockies (with said Tesla) and all outdoor parking spaces had outlets. AFAIK they were for the block heaters for harsh winters. It made charged over night slow but nice. Any parking space had them. Cold climates accidentally made it super convenient to park and charge for long stops.
> This is not true. They are binned by capability, and sold at different price points.

That's only for the very high yield ones which get sold for specific computing purposes. The GPUs you buy at the store are already from the shit pile. Within that shit pile though, they all have exactly the same amount of transistors in there usually across different versions of the same product line, and if you buy the highest end version you get use of all of the transistors, if not you don't - but they are still there.

Infrequently Asked Questions in Comp.lang.c
Oh, but they're trying soooo hard to overcome that. For example, on HGTV, they intersperse "Sneak Peak" ads for other shows on the network. They always follow a commercial break, but my TiVo's ad skip button usually skips over the 3rd party ads and puts me at the beginning of the "Sneak Peak". It's so fucking irritating. Now I have to manually fast-forward through it.

Then during the shows, literally, for the entire program, not just for a minute here or there, there's an animated logo for some other show from the same network. And it gets larger every year. First it was about 1/10th of the screen. Then it was like 1/8th. Now it's up to about 1/5th of the screen. In another couple years, it will be bigger than the actual content you're trying to watch. I've taken to logging into their site (via my cable subscription), copying my cookies, then downloading the shows using yt-dlp and putting them on my AppleTV because it's less annoying than trying to watch the shows in the format they were broadcast in.
For K8s:

1. Read the book "Kubernetes up and Running"

2. After that you can start reading the https://kubernetes.io documentation

3. Alongside the documentation reading, practise what you have learnt using minikube.

4. Only after, start with Helm (which is pretty bad, but if your company is using it...)
Of course. That's rarely debatable (unless making sure that you have a very small memory footprint is one of the project's critically important goals).

The point is that you pay more upfront but can then iterate much more confidently and quickly.
I started my career in the 90s writing ROLAP engines, and even though I've spent most of my time since doing "web" development, I still seem to end up having to build engines that generate SQL queries that are dozens of lines long.

The complaints about SQL composability are real. The grammar is fundamentally pretty irregular. Acceptable for humans to type ad-hoc, crappy for computers to generate.

You can like what SQL does for you (I do!) but it's also easy to imagine something a bit better. I thought the article was spot-on. I hope some future SQL x.0 will fix these issues, but also be similar enough to present-day SQL that I don't have to learn a whole new language from scratch.
Too bad it's not a first-order phase transition so it could have a latent heat of fusion!
You have this wrong.

As soon as the chain diverges, they are seperate chains.

Yes, if you have a minority of the hashpower, you can hardfork yourself off the main chain, and continue to follow your smaller chain, regardless.

But you don't get a longer chain than the main one. So you'd continuously be behind, and would not get the work of the main chain, and likely most exchanges would not accept your smaller fork coin, and you would end up like bitcoin cash.

This reminds me of a sound card I bought way back when (22 years ago or so); it was a wavetable-supporting, Soundblaster Pro-compatible card that I got on sale for 50% off without making any effort at all to look it up online or even check the kernel for Linux support.

It worked and sounded great in Windows; it also worked and sounded great in Linux, with one exception: the card supported ISA PNP, which was great, but the kernel module for the sound card wouldn't load unless I did `cat /proc/isapnp` first.

I had no idea why, and it took a few reboots and trial-and-error to narrow it down to this janky workaround, but it worked so I just configured modprobe to run `cat /proc/isapnp > /dev/null` before trying to load the module and I never had to worry about it again.

Technology sure is weird sometimes.

In SSMS and almost certainly many other SQL editors Intellisense works on the select list as soon as you have a working from clause, the only caveat being you can’t autocomplete columns reading when writing a statement purely left to right.

But I think that’s not a big deal at all, and the SQL approach has a certain advantage in putting the type of action (select/update/delete/drop etc) front and centre, which is really quite helpful.
If you want to play that game here (France) we can made DIY p.v. systems, pass a consuel (third party organism for electrical safety) check and connect it to the grid BUT with only two mode, one is pure-self consumption you might just have few over-voltage rejects to the grid, the other is gifting the grid of your surplus and in this case you do not only give energy for free, energy consumed by some neighbor who pay it to the grid, full price, but you also have to pay "energy transports fee" to the grid handler. You pay to gift something that get sold at full price. That's is.
I went to the doctor for the first time in decades. Blood pressure high, told to cut sodium, so I did. Was simpler than it sounds (because of my specific circumstances). Felt better. Lost weight.

After a fasting lab panel had a follow-up appointment six weeks later. "You have diabetes." Managing food intake for that is more complicated than a single line on a nutrition label and just avoiding "added sugar" isn't enough to avoid my kidneys doing the work that insulin couldn't. Felt better. Lost weight.

All of this to say that my diet changes are because I have a reasonable financial budget for groceries, sufficient time to shop, and a social environment in which there is not a cost for eating what I need and there is not a social cost for not eating what I should avoid.

Time, money, and relationships are the necessary conditions of habit development. If I was trying to feed a family of four from the bodega on minimum wage, pills would be about the only viable option.

It's also worth noting that my habits are easier to maintain because I feel better. If it were just a matter of weight loss, I doubt they would stick anymore this time than previously when I lost weight but didn't feel better chemically and my hunger still there.

YMMV. Good luck.
I had issues once with my gaming setup (Arch Linux, Ryzen 5 3600, rtx 2060 6gb, MSI b350m gaming pro, 16gb ddr4 1600).

The only thing I did was to set the governor from powersave, which came by default configured, to ondemand. Graphic stutters immediately went away and performance got close to that on windows.

I suggest anyone having performance issues under Linux to check their governor.

> Or does it provide all the information necessary for someone to correctly perform repair or maintenance

Well, that's the problem. Apple doesn't provide all of the necessary information to safely perform board repairs or fix mechanical failure. If you break your car's window, you can go get it replaced in an afternoon. If you break your Macbook's display, your options are to take it to an Apple Store and let them quote you a repair, or buy their $500 topcase "do it yourself" replacement kit. All roads lead back to Apple, and Apple deliberately destroys all roads to repairing your computer. This is clearly evidenced by their unbelievably coarse selection of replacement parts, forcing their customers to buy replacements for components they don't need.

In other words, it's like breaking your windshield and being told to get a new car or replace the entire chassis. Apple can fix this, and quite easily at that, but why would they? They have a direct financial incentive to keep letting Macbooks break in unfortunate ways. The most common damage (screen/display, logic board) also happens to be the most expensive, and their price is entirely artificial.

Yep, this is what was said. It is not an argument for or against any point under discussion.

Ad hominem is "you are wrong because you (fill in the blank)". It is not "go read the articles given to you".

"You are wrong because you are an idiot" is ad hominem.

"You are wrong" is denial.

"You are an idiot" is insult.
In the middle of the worst inflation most people have seen in their lifetimes, elected politicians as a measure to attempt to keep control and appease their base once again hand out free money. What do they really expect to happen? People are going to go out and spend it on goods and services (let's be honest mostly frivolously).

Furthermore, what kind of message does this send? This is NOT how the REAL WORLD works. It only further does a disservice to millennials who already have a outrageous sense of entitlement, lack of work ethic, and as a whole wonder why they are in debt, don't own homes, and break even month to month.

That’s a different angle though - you’re saying that open source has limitations if you’re an author wanting to commercially exploit it. That’s true. I don’t think that “corporations want stuff for free” really holds - they have waaaay more money than anybody and throw it around all the time. I think it’s more like, if it’s free for the taking, then why not? On the other hand, making stuff expensive is a great way to set up a barrier so that only corporations can use it.

Beyond security and interoperability I don’t see the point in projects that anyone can contribute to but only one person can profit from. Why would I contribute? I always felt this way about dual-license GPL code. It has a first-mover effect that sucks all the air out of the room for someone to create a project with more liberal licensing. How am I to set up a rival project if I don’t also want to be your business rival?
I use multiple locks when I have to leave mine outside for an extended period. Like 2 U-locks, a cable and possibly a padlock. An angle grinder will still go through all that, but I'm hoping a thief would just pick an easier target.
Sibling comment points out Chevy Bolt MSRP $25,600.

Legislation (Inflation Reduction Act) passed this month allows the full federal EV tax credit on the Bolt again as of Jan 1 2023, so subtract $7,500.

California EV tax credit of an additional $2000 (income under $135K single, $200K joint)

There are additional regional EV credits in certain California metro areas that can further discount the price by hundreds or thousands.

So, price for any low to mid income Californian will be a maximum of $16,100.

And, there is an additional program for low income folks in California that provides grants toward EV purchases (new and used). This program is severely underfunded and (temporarily) closed to new applicants since March 2022.

Purchase price after incentives is roughly at parity with an equivalent ICE vehicle.

Current lack of charging infrastructure for apartment renters who park on the street seems a bigger hurdle, to me.
The idea of disclosure though isn’t to teach others how to replicate your technology - it’s to provide enough information about your technology so that you lay a claim to it.

Without disclosure it would be impossible for others to know if they are infringing a patent - but the purpose of disclosure isn’t to teach others how to innovate on the back of your patent.

Heated car seats actually makes sense to put on a subscription model for customers.

It means that those of us in generally warm states like CA can opt-in to heated seats for the month or two we spend doing winter sports, and just pay for that usage, instead of paying a few thousand upfront for the heated seat package.
The alternative is actively engaging with them, but the incentive structures are all messed up. If someone has more energy, time, and rhetorical maladaptions, they can "run out the clock" on internet debate. This becomes an effective strategy when we acknowledge that most internet "debates" aren't actually trying to change the minds of those engaging in them. They are performative acts intended to convince the readers which easily outnumber the participants by orders of magnitude. In essence, master debaters craft their message to appeal to viewers whilst simultaneous serving as a foil to the other participants.
I'm not sure the authors appreciate the impact of their own invention. This isn't a camera that censors things: it's a passive image segmentation model that runs in real time and consumes zero power. This would have huge implications for robotics applications.

I don't think people are dumb though. Most working class people see through the BS because they live it everyday. I'm not talking about just us, I'm talking retail, waiters, miners, etc. They've seen way more shit with their bosses and life experiences to know what's what.

I don't think it's infantilizing. I think since these major news sites are owned and backed by the rich, they have certain messages they want to push. And one idea they don't want people to know about is worker organization. The rich all have a vested interest to not mention it at all and instead want us to use their rigged process to resolve issues.
