And the problem with building massive interconnects that are rarely used is that it’s not economical to do so. They need to be encouraged by outside means.

Grafting god onto science by cherry picking things that were guessed while throwing away all the incorrect statements is a bit disingenuous, no?
I've actually spent quite a bit of writing in this thread explaining why I'm convinced of this.
You should see what's been going on in the US. Due to a combination of anti-tax crusaders, aging of the workforce, service industry jobs asking for higher wages, and Covid chaos, school bus service is drying up all over.

I have friends in multiple states who spend hours every single day, sitting in a line to drop off/pick up their kids from school. It's utterly, mind-bendingly insane. I still cannot fathom it, and it makes me angry.

They'll say things like "you have to get there an hour ahead of time so that you only wait 45 minutes more" because if you show up at the "correct" time you'll be waiting for 2 hours.

In a lot of cases, these schools have been built where you really can't walk to school, and children are not allowed to leave on their own.
I was recently on a US aircraft carrier and there was a real problem keeping the crew off their cellphones trying to catch service while near land. I wonder what the Navy will do when common cellphones can talk to satellites.
In case you are wondering which copilot came first (I certainly was) - this repository starts in 2010 with a source code upload: https://github.com/Copilot-Language/copilot/commits/b2fc3456...
At one point I recall a website that would quietly paste a Bitcoin address into the user's clipboard on every interaction. I'm sure this worked reasonably well for them -- who can tell that they've pasted the wrong string of garbage into a transaction UI?
It deserves credit for being such an early example of a diceless tabletop roleplaying game, but I find the fun-factor leaves something to be desired.
Wonder why the EU hasn’t stepped in with rationing and price controls. This is price gouging to the detriment of its citizens.
Koomey’s Law is where it's at - performance per watt growth is slowing - but it's still doubling every ~2.6 years.
My pet theory: Something has always existed. There was no beginning. No origin. No first cause. No t=0. No start. It's always been there. What was before that? That. And that. And that. Always that.

Manchester United's Billion Dollar Problem
"It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at."

There's 8 billion people in this world, and one single John Carmack. Everyone's experience is unique, so do you. Think about what you can change today instead of focusing on the immutable past.
> Economics has a reputation as a dry, heartless subject, full of boring equations.

Not if you have any training in a hard science: then you think of economics as something largely devoid of equations and made up of lots of ad-hoc regression analysis and hand waving. This might not be the fault of the economists but of the difficulty of the subject matter of course. But economists really should learn to accompany their predictions with error bars as every undergraduate physicist must.
A Dutch friend of mine, who speaks great English, tried to impress me by mentioning her musician friend studied at "the conservatory."

She was baffled when I replied that I hadn't heard of The Conservatory before.

It took us minutes to understand she meant a conservatory: they studied at a music school. I agree that it's more complex than native speakers realize.
My monthly plan allowed unlimited your own texts and replies. Limited number of characters each though.

Do you hike, sail or otherwise travel in truly remote areas? That was my scenario - being able to tell my wife and kids that I am OK while days away from the closest outpost of civilization.
> Has there ever been a single instance in the western hemisphere

I know it’s only slightly relevant for this discussion, but I guess you meant to say “the Western world” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world), large parts of which are in the Eastern Hemisphere (half of London and most of the European mainland are east of the Greenwich meridian)
I think a really good example of this is adjective precedence. For example, any native speaker immediately knows "wooden nice green big house" is wrong, and they also immediately know that "nice big green wooden house" is the correct ordering. Good luck explaining why.
There are CV writing/review services available, but I can't recommend one that specializes in technical jobs. Perhaps someone else here can.

Because it sounds like there's something about your CV that is causing it to be ignored. UK standards for this are different, but make sure you don't include things like age, gender, race, or a photo. Do make sure there is correct spelling and grammar. Focus on how you used technology to solve business problems.

The other possibility is that you've hit an industry-wide hiring lull. It's getting towards the end of the year (budget time), and the economy is slowing down.
That's a neat story! I've read that there is a developmental change that happens in the brain around age 11 that has the effect of "switching off" a child's ability to simply absorb a new language. To the extent that this is true, it is so great that -- from your experience -- videos games could provide enough of an immersive experience for you to rapidly and enduringly acquire a new language. Hope your kids take to it as well!
One of those for sure. My guess is that the MP was trying to score with their voters and bent the numbers.
And yet they don’t increase pay or improve employee conditions. So, despite their size and churn, the incentives are insufficient.
Lots of people in EU, not to mention worlds two main technology hubs: China and India. Yes, US is the good guys this time, let’s hope it stays like this, but we can’t forget Middle East, same way we can’t forget Trump and resulting deterioration of human rights.

China did take anti-Russian stance. Their strategic investments were redirected to other countries. They are complying with embargoes, differently from Germany (https://twitter.com/kamilkazani/status/1563534129534500874 for a somewhat related story) and some other western countries. Of course you won’t find it mentioned in mainstream western media.

Invading Afghanistan was a mistake, but most of all it was a crime against humanity. And the worldview that got US into that - same as worldview of Putin, essentially the belief that their country has god-given right to invade others - is still there. There are more similarities, like protecting their war criminals from justice. Or ideologically-motivated oppression: https://twitter.com/erininthemorn/status/1563223736681381888.

You have only one channel? We have zillions, per topic.
The economist acts as a pretty good contrarian indicator.
What would really help is look at some of the bigs, compare them with each other, follow them over time, see who was right and who wasn’t, and come too your own conclusion.
Bonus: chat or follow some old school, based interest rates traders, see what they have to say. Compare them to economists.
Then look into the Eurodollar system, and be prepared for a shock.
I can attest to that. And it 'grabs' you when you least expect it.
Are you applying to PHP dev jobs? And what type - office, hybrid, or remote, in London or not London?
As someone who owns most of the common satellite phones and data devices available today and sees the antennas on each, I’m sorry, still calling bullshit on this, just like every previous year this rumor came out.
I have a half-baked branch to ractorize rubocop, surely one of the ruby programs which would benefit most from running CPU intensive code in parallel.

However, it has been a beast to get it working and it is definitely not anywhere near "done". Sharing even simple config objects code between ractors is extremely difficult, because most of the code was never written with "sharing between ractors" as a design concern. It is like the red/green functions thing but with ractors instead of async. :/
Installed obs studio on my wayland+pipewire machine and it just worked. Full screen capture with multiple audio sources simultaneously.
In many places in the UK it would be trivial to place a protected bike lane parallel to an existing railway line which is a level grade, and ideal for cyclists.

Except the rail companies wouldn't like it you use your bike to cycle a couple of stops rather than use the train.

In Belgium, they get nice things like this: https://goo.gl/maps/6toGgkvU4DGsry3e8 to keep motor traffic and bikes separate.

In the UK we have this kind of horror: https://goo.gl/maps/eTb1615DFL3BTZRV7 - stop the traffic via multiple pedestrian crossings to reach a pedestrian bridge positioned within the middle of the junction.
It sounds like you may be failing some sort of implicit cultural filters - you've been in the same small workplace for 8 years and apparently your circles don't include highly-paid IT/development people. "International-tier" tech is a fairly distinctive and exclusionary culture to anyone who is not fluent in either its own norms or those of a handful of adjacent academic fields, and the boundary may be policed based on shibboleths that even members couldn't articulate explicitly when prompted. Looking at your post, I get enough of a "cultural difference" gut feeling that reinforces this suspicion - I think the most glaring signifiers are the excessive spacing, omission of apostrophes and commas (though I realise this is more common in the UK) and a certain harshness in verbiage like "aggrieved" and the "The problem/s? They won't..." that is at odds with the nonconfrontational style of the modern workplace. (There was actually an opinion piece on this on the HN front page a few days ago: https://goodreason.substack.com/p/on-corpspeak)

Consider befriending some people in your industry who are in a position closer to the type that you would be interested in, and asking them for feedback on your CV or at least absorbing the way they talk and present themselves by osmosis. I'm not in the UK, but at least in the European location I'm in there are many tech people circulating on local meetup (social) apps.

The sun is always shining somewhere. We need more interconnects.
Youtube lost the comments war years ago. More than 90% of videos are marketing techniques to attract watchers to bring their money. There are too much ads, comments are from bots such us likes, subscribers. Seems like instagram, fb, tw. Another network to avoid. And if you don't like ads, buy a subscription...for fake videos.

Rationing and price controls is how you end up with shortages.

Those nuclear power plants were built during communism there so nobody had any kind of foresight.
What about the tmobile/spacex announcement earlier in the week?
Maybe, but if you look at the list of famous unsolved problems in math, it has been dwindling for a long time. The list used to contain problems that undergrads could understand. Biology is still like this -- you can take quite a few interesting unsolved problems in biology and explain it to most people.

Math has a few left like the Riemann hypothesis, but the vast majority of new work that has been coming out is more like refinements (I say this as a PhD in math who as actually read them). We look at history and expect it to repeat itself, but if you closely examine math history you can actually see a decline. Take the time to truly examine "visionary" things that have happened in math and those events are actually getting fewer and fewer. I seriously doubt there is much left to do that is of interest to more than 5-10 people in each subfield.
Hmm, either trans-Atlantic or a country governments blocked from global markets... Yeah, there might be some issues with that solution.
The wholesale rates are not in fact fixed, there's a wholesale electricity market. It runs in half hour blocks, there are estimates of what's available to be dispatched, and what use is expected, and the market seeks a price which will be acceptable to enough of the cheapest dispatchable producers to get approximately the desired energy, then that's what everybody is paid for the energy - it's a bit like a Dutch Auction.

As well as the short term energy market, "suppliers" like Octopus also hedge by purchasing contracts to supply electricity far in advance. In fact the bulk of electricity is purchased this way, which makes that half-hour short term market look more volatile than the reality of energy trading. It also means that to be a serious player you need a lot of capital to make your purchases earlier and with better data than your competitors.

The existence of numerous consumer suppliers is, indeed, pointless, it's just Tory orthodoxy which causes these to exist, you obviously don't need the suppliers since they just basically shuffle paperwork. But there really are wholesale prices, and so there really is a wholesale energy market, even if there was a single government consumer supply company, it would be buying energy from the market, at the market price. Unless you want the government to also own all the power generators, and all the other countries we are buying energy from, which I think those countries might not agree to.
Yeah, I'm spending 2 weeks in Boulder, Colorado, which is known as a very bikeable city. It has lots of on-street bike lanes, and it doesn't have a lot of dedicated cycleways as such, but there are a large number of river paths (which is a common way of doing multi-use infrastructure here, since the right-of-ways are already there), therefore avoiding many intersections. Because of the time savings not waiting at traffic lights, going 2.5 miles on slightly reduced speed on paths is faster than going 2.0 miles next to cars and waiting at traffic lights.
2.6GW for 9.8billion USD. Regardless of the environment, and out of curiosity, what's the comparative price for coal, gas or nuclear stations say over a 10 year period (including build price).

As someone married for the same length of time and with a shared account, your situation sounds very odd to me. I'm sure it works for you, but if I were in that situation, I don't think my marriage would feel as close. Each of us reconciling big purchases at the end of the year sounds so cold and transactional. We just have one pot of money, don't care who earns the most and have conversations about big purchases and get agreement from the other.
Yeah but you’re going to get kicked out if you do that. The rules can definitely be gamed but there is a metagame too which is that the rules can be bent if someone is not acting in good faith.

I feel like we have all the tools on the theory side and we just have to put them to use in real systems. I'm trying to make a system for portable computation that can be used to bootstrap a bare machines and would also be useful to offline computations using pen and paper across multiple people.
Okay since you mentioned games, let me drop gaming analogies on you.

Way I see it, life is a little bit like Minecraft, (or the other way around. :) You know there's a dragon at the end, but the game is not about the end. You don't win the game. It has no meaning or goal inherent to it, you make up your meaning out of it, sometimes copy others. It becomes meaningless if you can't come up with a new goal anymore and can't find inspiration elsewhere.

I feel like people pry at each other's life way too frequently over the little windows they're provided, and whatever they see there, they take it as a high score board and take note of how low they score in someone else's life.

There's a certain image of happiness in our collective minds, and it leans very extroverted and centered around material gains. Of course, give it a shot, try some other passions and see if some stick, but in the end if what makes you happy is to play WoW, then take care of your responsibilities first, and then play WoW like there's no tomorrow.

Over time you'll discover new passions, and you might want to keep or ditch previous ones. That's something to celebrate, not to mourn. It's as if you unlocked a new chapter in life. If your passion happens to be the next Carmack, then you will work towards it, and enjoy the ride even if you never reach the destination.

tl;dr life is fleeting. chill out. enjoy the ride.
Put in other words, something is a subset of nothing! This idea fits in well with the unprovable MWI as well. If every possibile configuration of spacetime exists, and in a symmetry where everything has an opposite, doesn't it all kind of "add up" to 0? This idea has been in my head since high school physics many years ago.
There's a huge difference between Google/Microsoft/Amazon having the possibility of accessing "root and logs" just as a side effect of running the service and the OPs assertion about them actively gathering information from that source. It would be a huge scandal if any of those cloud providers were caught peering inside their customer's VMs. Have I missed that scandal?
The true market failure is on demand side. Demand is what drives the price not the supply. With low enough demand the price just doesn't go very high.
The grid operator won't make an agreement to move a little bit of power that is advantageous to the small producer.

it is estimated that 90% of new world natives died of smallpox and viral herpes immediately following contact with europeans -- that is, after initial contact with a small number of europeans on the western fringes, disease swept across the entire hemisphere and destroyed civilizations. it is literally the single most important factor in the history of western colonization. the europeans that colonized the americas arrived in a postapocalyptic wasteland.

Is this phenomenon related to why websockets use masking? I believe it's something to do with shitty proxies being vulnerable to being cache-poisoned when an attacker sends data down the websocket (packet in packet) which looks like HTTP traffic.

They basically have computing per energy as an efficiency spec and then they show how that spec increased by 20-33x compared to an "Intel Skylake" machine.

Google also added some features, like a custom speed vs quality tuning thing, and single and multi-output transcoding.

What was interesting to me is the video core was made with "Catapult, a C++ HLS flow from Siemens".

It upholds my opinion that journalism should, wt its core, be fact based. Otherwise it would be pure fiction, meaning propaganda. At least we moved on from "Hillary's E-Mails", so some progress.
To offer some dissent: I've seen tiny organizations (like 5 people) try to implement this in their meetings, and it's infuriating.

If you have some giant organization where you must implement stuff like this, then fine. If you have a small organization where you don't have to, then meetings should have a facilitator leading the meeting, and then should flow essentially like a conversation.
Guy Fieri opened up a pop-up restaurant in my town, only available via Grubhub or Seamless or whatever, and my family wanted to try it out. I'm not a Guy Fieri fan so I wasn't expecting much, but at the very least I was expecting moderately good food. What we got was something you would see at a high school cafeteria, and I'm not exaggerating. It was nearly inedible, so bad that some members of my family felt compelled to write a letter to Guy Fieri's company.

Setting a performance obligation for a wind farm is like prohibiting wildfires, a legal "solution" for a technical/physical problem. I feel like missing the problem here.

Maybe law makers want to obstruct a company or out of ideologically aka. political reasons push back against renewables.

Or this wind park maybe a trick from Dominion, to cash in subsidy and practically abbadon the plant after. Like other mega projects with public partnerships in the past became.

Unfortunately, the article does not illuminate the law makers reasoning.
For those not familiar with Linux Mint, the OS comes with HexChat IRC client installed and by default when opened logs into #linuxmint-help.

I usually have HexChat open and monitor for both problems that might affect me and possibly I can help someone, but since I'm really not a desktop guy, I am able to offer little support, so mostly I am there as a lurker.

For those not familiar with IRC, a ping[1] from another user in a channel results in a notification from the IRC client, which in a desktop means the client starts blinking. It is a common troll activity in IRC channels to either overtly ping users randomly or seek excuses to make it appear as if the troll accidentally pinged a user. My experience in IRC is that the moderators instaban these trolls even without any complaints from the users who were pinged. I've never read this, but I believe this is because when logged into many channels simultaneously, the number of pings could be very annoying, so each channel needs to be completely on top of this negative behavior.

It is notable that I did incorrectly state my IP address was banned. The server seems to not accept logins from the "Guest" user in Linux Mint, which I did not know until further testing, which was after the issue was closed.

[1] I may be using ping a little differently, perhaps it is "mention"
Comparing the internet to crypto is like comparing roads to clown cars.

They are entirely different classes of technology and the second would be completely useless without the first, so like to like comparisons are meaningless.
