Those who made such "simulation" probably do have forgot or never learn a classic engineering practice (at least in Europe engineering) witch is named resilience.

We need resilient systems as more resilient as bigger is the impact of their eventual failure. In other terms stating we can made a big and complex enough smart grid to run "almost" an renewable means spend an incredible amount of resource to build a hyper-fragile unmaintainable monster that can malfunction at best most of the time.

Also the "little storage" they state is not little at all and most importantly it does NOT LAST LONGER. So far we have some long-lasting storage (pumped hydro) witch is very effective where you have enough mountains and basins, witch might be true for let's say Norway and to a little extent Swiss, but certainly not for let's say Germany. Compressed air storage seems to offer an option at a sufficient scale, but so far only some experimental plants exists and they have a significant amount of fragility and risks. Long story short: we haven't enough storage on scale to deploy almost only intermittent sources of power. BEVs can compensate an unstable grid for homes, but not for industry, hospitals, big infrastructures etc. Long story short those who claim such possibility follow this classic: https://www.commitstrip.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Strip... sorry I do not have one in English but I think anyone can translate quick enough.

It's not much different than https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/uam-full-... something that MIGHT BE partially true, in pure math, but practically false. Fails to understand the real feasibility of such projects is probably the root cause of all managerial driven projects fails.

This is how code is supposed to be written. Sort out the logic first, don't write the actual implementation details until later (models, http handlers, file parsers).

The support for this type of SOLID design is much more common in Go than in Typescript projects which often seem to inherit bad practices from Javascript developers.

Anyone who’s ever repaired a car has encountered one form or another of a fastener or hose that breaks or drops and can’t be easily removed because it’s in a bad place, and leaving it where it is won’t cause any harm.

Of course, it depends on the person. If the person doesn't want lunch, and the boss keeps singling you out to go, that kinda disrespects you. And vice versa.

People are not all the same. Some people are shy, some people are gregarious. Respect their nature, that's it. When someone who has power over you just disregards you as a person, that's both not professional AND abusive if it happens over and over again. It's not a hard concept to get.
This reminds me of arguments about male -> female and man -> woman (and human etc). Without offending anyone's delicate sensibilities - you may note that there is a short version and long version of those words, suggesting that the longer version is derivative of the short version.

However, when you examine the origin of the words, that is not the derivation. The derivation and path to English is quite complicated. You may feel a sense of righteous indignation or righteous repudiation on this topic. I would gently suggest deferring that feeling because I think the story is very interesting to follow.

That is not the end of the story though. The reason those pairs of words stuck around is almost certainly because it makes a consistent mental picture.

Bringing it back to the topic at hand - "Why we use 0" - because it works. There are many times when it has been evaluated, and at least to the people who design languages, it is more mentally appealing.

It produces VERTICAL tearing every 20 seconds. Nobody would belive me something like that is even possible. I wouldn't belive me if I didn't see it with my own eyes.

Dell actually made a firmware verison that address it and people reported that it indeed fixed it. But guess what? You cannot download it! The only way to get newer FW was to buy a monitor from a newer production batch.
1) Not specific to Ethereum, but to its goals. For me, turning a profit is secondary to the goal of having a permissionless and censorship-resistant way for cross-border payments. At the moment, I believe that Ethereum (as an ecosystem) is the closest to make that a reality because it has the largest developer mindshare and the Foundation seems to be the only one playing the long game.

2) I am not speaking as a "collective". I am speaking for myself, and I believe that there are others like me.
That is true for vectors, but not matrices, right?

Although, there is a fifth state in your example: When you are not in class. Which is different to an empty set that implies nothingness. When it comes to age, 0 being birth works well because there is truly is nothingness (from your perspective) before birth. When counting from 1 there is suggestion that there are variables that aren't worth speaking of because they are obvious.
Disclaimer: I'm the HashiCorp Nomad Engineering Team Lead

This may be my favorite article on the subject, and I've read a lot! Others have suggested some minor corrections but overall you've done a fantastic job accurately and fairly portraying Nomad as far as I'm concerned.

I really appreciate the final paragraph as I constantly field questions about whether or not a k8s-only world is a foregone conclusion. I think there's room for more than one option, and I'm glad you noticed HashiCorp thinks so too!
Edward Niedermeyer, "Ludicrous", Chapter 9, has a somewhat lower estimate:

“In 2013, California revised its Zero Emissions Vehicle credit system so that long-range ZEVs that were able to charge 80 percent of their range in under fifteen minutes earned almost twice as many credits as those that didn’t. [...] By demonstrating battery swap on just one vehicle, Tesla nearly doubled the ZEV credits earned by its entire fleet even if none of them actually used the swap capability. [...] For the 2015 to 2017 model years, CARB created a new rule requiring Tesla to actually document a certain number of battery swaps to prove that the capability was actually being used. This development just so happened to coincide with Tesla’s half-hearted “pilot program” and its subsequent decision that its customers had no interest in fast, convenient battery swaps. [...] By exploiting CARB’s fast-refueling rules, Tesla appears to have earned as much as $100 million in additional revenue by demonstrating and hyping a system it seems to never have intended to commercially deploy.”
This is likely because Wakatime measures time differently.
I find it hard to argue about these claims. Might be because of a complete lack of definitions in the article, and most articles that deal with free will.

> Every decision we make can be reduced back not to our agency as individuals, but instead simply to a set of neurons firing

Why not? I thought that pile of firing neurons IS an individual.

> in the brief moments before you become aware of what you will do next, your brain has already decided your next step

I'm pretty sure "me" and "my brain" are the same person. I am observing my own thoughts ("consciousness"). I guess it takes a while to close this feedback loop, but it's still "me" on both sides of it, right?

> Neuroscience has confirmed there is no physical place where the “self” exists in the brain.

I'm pretty sure the place is "inside my skull". Too large, or what? Would "inside left prefrontal lobe" be more acceptable, if that was the case? Or would the question just shift to "But where in the prefrontal lobe?"

Quite a lot of people live in Texas and California where renewables are already pretty advanced, plus there's nuclear in the north, and they have hydro and grid connections with Canada who have even more hydro and nuclear so the USA should be easier.

The US intends to hit this target (i.e. 95% carbon-free generation) in 8 years I think, with 100% and wider electrification of current fossil fuel uses in 2035 and it didn't seem particularly a stretch even before the recent climate bill passed, so I'd guess they're well on target, not even sure a second Trump term as president could derail it now.
Attorney General Bonta Announces Settlement with Sephora on CCPA/GPC Enforcement
Yeah, unprofessional for sure, to be fair only some hiring managers do this but I found out it is best to assume they will. Not just to force a move but so when their guys are trying to leave they get the favor returned by others calling them. One time, my boss grilled me about what I put on the resume and then when I accepted he kept asking if I have news for him (hardly ever talk to him before lol), and a coworker asked me about my move the next day (different role than what i mentioned earlier). Scummy trashy behavior, I wonder why they respect themselves so little.
Do we actually have effective strategies for dealing with significant over-generation? The author glosses over it as being necessary to get to 98% renewables throughout the year ("we'll just run our hydro dams in reverse"), but I'm under the impression that over-generation that is unhandled leads to grid instability/desync.
Object oriented programming in C [pdf]
I purchased one of these back at the beginning of spring (https://www.radpowerbikes.com/collections/electric-folding-b...). I got a folding one simply because I keep it inside my apt and folded it fits into the big closet that my in-unit washer/dryer is in. That said if you are particularly tall you'd probably want to get a non-folding model as they have larger wheels and can accommodate taller people more comfortably.

I ride it a ton 1-3 miles, 100% grocery runs and similar 'around town errands'. A few trips further (12 miles round trip) on a dedicated bike/ped cross city trail (the burke-gillman in seattle). I'm still nervous on non-protected bike lanes/city streets. My commute too, if I ever go back to the office, is too long for this bike and the weight of it means I'm right at the edge of what the seattle metro bus bike rack weight limit is so no, first and last mile biking for my commute either.

That said it's a great little 'cargo-ish' neighborhood runner, I picked it mostly because there is a showroom in my neighborhood and talking to people who had them they seemed to like it. They have a similar step-through design that does not fold that I considered.

On the theft side, it's a concern, seattle like many cities has a problem with bicycle theft but so far my use-case means that i'm never far from the bike when it's locked up.
That one requires a lot of free work. I believe that requiring others to work for free is morally wrong.
Everything is fine if reality and expectations are in line. But many societies are projecting economic growth at levels that have historically been underpinned by the increase in demand from sheer population growth, as well as the increase in supply of labor.

Edit: The other issue is tribal. The global tribe has lots of sufficient labor and young people to offset decreasing numbers of young South Koreans, but humans are not fungible. There will be many types of conflict due to cultural differences, as well as shifting power dynamics and the resulting lack of acceptance of newcomers on the same level as native tribe members, etc.
What part of the Constitution do you believe is related to this at all?

> Colleges can raise prices and truthfully tell students: don't worry about taking on debt the government will just forgive it.

The loan forgiveness is $10k-$20k only, so they could raise prices by that much. Which leaves the students... in the same exact place.

> But if you took out a loan to start a business instead of going to college well screw you. Also, all the people who already paid their loans off are suckers - they should have been less responsible and let the government bail them out.

Education is more important to society than business. And no, people who paid off their loans aren't "suckers", they were screwed over by a broken system. Taking steps to fix that system for others isn't a "fuck you" to the people who got screwed over. That's like saying a parent should be upset if their children have a better life because they didn't. Our goal as a society should be to constantly improve so future generations have it better than we did, not to keep screwing over future generations because we're jealous of them.

> And of course, this entire mess only exists because the government forces lenders to give money to students they otherwise never would - eliminating a critical check in a functional lending system.

I'd argue this mess only exists because quality education is privatized and capitalist, shunting out poor people from being exposed to good ideas and the guidance of how to determine what good ideas are. Student loans wouldn't be necessary in the first place if people could afford an education on their own.

Combustion products. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polystyrene#Incineration

> If polystyrene is properly incinerated at high temperatures (up to 1000 °C) and with plenty of air (14 m3/kg), the chemicals generated are water, carbon dioxide, and possibly small amounts of residual halogen-compounds from flame-retardants.

> When polystyrene was burned at temperatures of 800–900 °C (the typical range of a modern incinerator), the products of combustion consisted of "a complex mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from alkyl benzenes to benzoperylene. Over 90 different compounds were identified in combustion effluents from polystyrene." The American National Bureau of Standards Center for Fire Research found 57 chemical by-products released during the combustion of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam.

Yes, you can burn it... but the things you make out of it unless you are really trying to burn it (and then its a burn it to dispose of it rather than get energy from it) leave some less than desirable compounds.

Didn't you wonder about the stability of such grid considering the timeframe inverters take to adjust their output on load or production changes? Wind can also consume energy, solar can just cut off and our electricity grids all other the world are not DC, for various significant and good reasons.
There are costs and benefits to requiring helmets.

Requiring a helmet has apparently been shown to depress the use of bikes for every day activities. Going grocery shopping with a bike is less convenient if you have to juggle a helmet along with a liter of milk.

Less biking means roughly more pollution, more obesity, bigger roads, more car accide ts.

On the other side of this equation is the death and injury that helmets prevent. This is non-zero, but apparently in the Netherlands we have judged this marginal benefit of helmets to be less than the advantages of more cycling.

The calculation might be different in countries with inferior cycling infrastructure.

>The quote you pulled out is specifically about the fact that battery replacement alone takes 162 pages to get through.

But that's not true. The table of contents has links to the small subset of pages needed to be read to replace the battery.

There are over a dozen chapters and the page count includes parts lists, safety and regulatory notices, and information about tools.

My Webster's Unabridged Dictionary has 2,129 pages before it gets to the back matter. If I want to look up a word I don't open it to page 1 and start reading.

Same for replacing a battery.

1. Open PDF
2. Scroll to table of contents
3. Click on "Battery"
4. Read 14 pages, each with 1-2 steps, about how to replace the battery

Not 162.

Besides, with the text density of those pages, they should be thought of more as "slides". A 162-slide presentation that covers the tools, part numbers, safety information, and step-by-step procedures for replacing parts that you can skip around in is not intimidating.

Of course, my perspective may be skewed. My expectation is for comprehensive documentation with the hundred page behemoths that Sun used to produce back in the Sparc era for replacing a frame buffer card being the bare minimum acceptable level of documentation.
Why did the parent make the off hand reference?

Republicans know if they keep repeating such remarks (or accusations) it will eventually will just be accepted as fact without requiring evidence because people hear it from so many different people over long periods of time.

They don't lie either, they just bring to attention a problem in a blue state or with a company considered to be liberal" and ignore similar issues elsewhere. T

Here's how it works with another example:

If you were to go to someone and ask "What city has the highest rate of car theft in 2022" they would probably say NYC or LA when in reality, it's Odessa TX (btw Republican mayor). This shows how this manipulation tactic works, it's based on exaggeration, stereotypes, and constantly streaming information.

Finally, they can then say, "don't vote for Democrats otherwise you'll end up like X city/state that has Y problem".
Facebook also sends me endless notifications about random shit. They'll say "there have been 10+ new posts since the last time-" but the name of the group is cut off and pressing it goes nowhere.
Offset-based lets you refer to an abstract location that is after the last element without resorting to n + 1.

[ ] [ ] [ ] ... [ ]
0 1 2 3 n-1 n

We can regard this n as a "virtual zero", and then make it possible to index the n - 1 element also indexable as just -1. The index -n then aliases to 0.
Maybe HN should make the comment button only available after first clicking the link. I see more and more of this "omg title" behavior on HN these days
Funny, just a few hours ago I asked myself the related question "Should indices start with 0 or 1?" (not for the first time). I pretty much switch my opinion as many times as I think about it.

Here is a nice discussion on stackoverflow https://cseducators.stackexchange.com/questions/5023/why-do-...

The first answer nicely retells the dijkstra argument: integer ranges should be described using half open intervals, and [n, m) is nicer than (n, m]. Furthermore, [0, n) is nicer than [1, n+1), and that's that.

The second answer makes the observation that there is a difference between indexing and counting, and that even in daily life often the first element is indexed by 0.

Still, I rather like indexing the first element of a sequence with 1.
> It is always unclear to me if this is a bad thing.
In a shrinking population, are individual people worse off, or does it just look like a decline when you look at the country in aggregate? There is no shortage of squandered talent in the world. So many people work below their capability because there are just more people than opportunities. It seems like it’s not a problem to keep running the modern world, even with a fraction of the current world population.

It's debatable. Population declines are good for the environment. But rapid drops has cultural, political, economic and geopolitical consequences. e.g. South Korea doesn't really trust NK or China or that they can't really be a manufacturing economy without young workers.
