I like the Tibetan take on this: We’re all going to die. Every day we live a little and die a little. We should aspire to live joyfully doing whatever is meaningful to us. And let things die throughout our lives. Holding on to possessions, people and ideas too tightly gets in the way of living.

Living joyfully can mean anything for you. One thing I like is struggling at hard programming problems. The struggle (and eventual success) feels great. The challenge is to accept that however I am - I’ll probably be like this until I die. And at some deep level be ok with that, and live my life enthusiastically anyway.

Do I sometimes spend a week or two playing games and “wasting time”? Yep. Maybe I’ll be like this until I die. The challenge is in accepting that that’s ok.
A substantial proportion of renewable capacity is already lost to curtailment in the UK, and supposedly this could be reduced by storage. This happens well before renewable generation hits 100% even some of the time for various reasons (transmission capacity bottlenecks, the need for a certain amount of dispatchable power to ensure grid stability, and so on).
the OP meant that the producer is allowed to sell to the higher priced exchange, rather than being forced to sell it at a low price to the consumer. Therefore, the OP is assuming that someone at the exchange is going to profit nicely without having done any work by arbitraging the sale of electricity.
I know. That string literal is likely to be located in a read only page. In real code, I'd have to allocate some memory and copy the text to the new location if I want the resulting structure to be writable. For clarity's sake I omitted these details.

This isn't unique to my example though. Traditional C strings have the exact same problem and they do get copied all the time.
And since those stories all utter BS, I'm ok with the flagging.

You've learned to tell apart the meaningful from the meaningless. You've done this by the age of twenty three. Your time was only wasted if you don't take advantage of this excellent foundation.

Doesn't the book take decent arguments to deranged conclusions in Graeber's trademark style? From the reviews I've read, the books supposedly argues that egalitarian thought was introduced by Native Americans to Europe and that the Enlightenment was based on these borrowed ideas. And the book supposedly also portrays mammoth houses i.e. hides stretched over mammoth bones and tusks as an example of monumental public works. Is that not the case?
Point of life: you didn’t choose to be here but since you are, make something out of it. What is the pleasure or the meaning of just wasting it away?
With all due respect, what conservative media claimed was on the laptop was falsified and fake news. The existence of a candidate for President's son having a laptop with some lewd photos on it was real. The lie that it contained evidence of corruption relevant to Joe Biden and the election was a salacious lie, done as a trick to try and win an election. In my opinion, it represents one of the most perfect examples of fake news and how it works in our entire lifetimes. This is how disinformation works, a little truth allows you to slide in a lot of lie.
I’ve lived in an English-French community my whole life, and AFAIK, Robert’s Rules are mainly used by English organizations. All French orgs I know of use some variation of the “Code Morin” instead.

I’m francophone and I pronounce “Robert” the English way.
1. Accept that feeling regret and self-doubt is normal and uncomfortable.

2. While accepting the feeling and not trying to change it, understand that it is a feeling and, therefore, not evidence of fact (no matter how compelling the feeling may be).

3. Recall a time when you felt strongly about something, and with the passage of some time, you came to feel differently about it. It almost seems like a different thing now, with the perspective that time provides. Know that it is quite possible you are in the same situation now -- how you feel about your "wasted" years may not be how you feel in the future. You may, in fact, come to adopt a very different evaluation of how you spent that time. Accept that you will not have access to this future understanding until more time passes.

4. It's natural to wish for a better past, because it always carries with it the wish for a better present. But when spend time wishing for something we don't have, it makes what we do have seem much worse than it is. When you sit around wishing to change the past, you are throwing away the present. Fortunately, ruminating on wishes and regrets is just a habit, like nail-biting. Every time you catch yourself doing it, know that it's normal, but NOT helpful. Then gently bring your focus back to what you'd like to be getting out of the current moment.

5. This stuff is easy to write, but hard to understand - until one day, you do. Therapists specialize in helping their clients get to the place where they have this sort of perspective deep in their bones. If you have the ability to see a therapist, I'd highly recommend it.
Stuff like that and late AV1[0] are one reason I moved to Edge after 19 years on Firefox. More so just that I was impressed with Edge when I tried it. Brave also stood out to me when I tested every browser. It’s fast but has the distinction of being the only semi-major browser that’s fully open source other than Firefox. Edge is still very good, I would say it’s the best browser going but I’d be tarred and feathered for that.

Depends what you mean by easiest.

You can also use ffmpeg to create a "screencast" with sound and it's just a couple of extra command-line options. E.G. the options

-f pulse -ac 2 -i default

work well for me.

Of course, if you don't know this or your machine's setup well, and you happen to have another device lying around, you're prone to pick it up and make the video that way instead.

Which may be harder because then you have to get the video off the other device somehow. Lol, epistemology is an interesting field.
No, strnlen with any given length does not have the potential of reading anything that it should not read, like it is true for strlen.

The length argument of strnlen is under the control of the kernel writer, not under the control of whoever provides the source string.

The new strscpy function can also read anything, if the kernel writer allocates a destination buffer long enough, there is no difference between strscpy and strnlen, from the security POV. What they read is determined by the length of the destination buffer.

Because the destination buffer must have an extra byte for the null terminating byte, strnlen must be called with the size of the destination buffer as argument, but if it returns that size, that signals an error, and then a number of bytes that is one less than the return value must be copied from the source (and a null byte must always be written after whatever is copied by memcpy).

The kernel function strscpy is exactly equivalent with using correctly strnlen and memcpy. While strscpy encapsulates that behavior, so it is more convenient, anyone who wants to use strscpy in a user C program must define a strscpy macro or function, using strnlen and memcpy, which are standard functions.
NPR's plaintext site is one of the best news sites ever.

Obviously, if you visit a news article and select to be redirected to plaintext, they don't redirect you to that article on the plaintext page for that article, but to the homepage, which makes it inconvenient in the hopes you won't select that option again. But once you see where to insert the article ID, it's good.

Rules for this market are a lot more complex than a straightforward producer / consumer one though. That give a lot of room for biased / non-optimal behaviors

For example, only gaz-based electricity producers « needs » to be paid such a high price. Nuclear or renewable would be perfectly fine with much lower price.

Or, if we had not one market, but one market per type of energy used to produce electricity, we would also have a « market driven » pricing, however the end-result would likely be much much different.
Haha, yeah it's a pain, I've a bookmarklet for looping through some of this CSS stuff to make it visible on desktop. Neither much use on mobile though.
It's only partly true and the difference is not that extreme. The reason for this is simple: (to my knowledge) in EU electricity is traded via central stock in Germany. See e.g. this debunk article https://www.irozhlas.cz/zpravy-domov/overovna-energie-elektr...

I think “shortly before” is a fair interpretation of the following quote:

> …'hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert. We thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election, we have it on notice that basically there's about to be some kind of dump that's similar to that'."

> He said the FBI did not warn Facebook about the Biden story in particular - only that Facebook thought it "fit that pattern".

The timing (“there’s about to be… [a] dump”) sounds like an important part of the identified pattern, or else it wouldn’t have been mentioned in the quote.
You're 23.

You'd be a massive outlier if you'd spent more of your childhood reverse engineering an OS than playing games, or indeed any time reverse engineering an OS at all, and it wouldn't necessarily lead you to be any more successful than someone who didn't even look at a command prompt until the age of 23

I agree - "free" should be anti-competitive. Today it is incredibly hard for any startup to compete with the "free" products of BigTech. And that is why in this industry, getting acquired by them is the only really viable exit option available for many startups.

This isn't true in many areas. Even when I was in high school with zero experience it was easy to find jobs above minimum wage. Which means almost nobody wanted minimum wage jobs.
Can anybody explain why that is? Why a country that generates 99+% of its own electricity like UK is seeing price increases?

Everybody blames the war, but AFAIK UK imports 1% of its gas from Russia, and its electricity is generated locally, so why are prices increasing? I would expect grain and wheat to increase 500%, not power.
So a fixed payment per household? If you use more you pay more and there's still incentives to put that fixed payment into solar or whatever.
You feel that becoming a particular type of engineer you aspire to is meaningful, but once you get there you’ll realize you’re still yourself and you didn’t ascend to some higher level of being.

This viewpoint sounds to me like it’s coming from someone who is depressed.

I’ve had a long career with a lot of accomplishments and I wouldn’t trade any of it for anything. Yeah someday the sun will consume the inner planets and we’ll all be gone but I don’t think about that. I’m having an absolute blast with life doing whatever I want to do.

Some of the happiest times I’ve had were a direct result of working my butt off conceiving a goal, coming up with a plan, executing that plan and then enjoying the rewards of that goal.

I don’t envy the generation today. In 1982 when I turned on my first computer it did nothing but say, “READY.” If I wanted to play a game I had to type the BASIC or Assembly source code in from a magazine. That’s literally how I learned to program. Sure I played games but most of my time was productive - literally producing instead of consuming.

If I grew up today, what a difference it would be. Infinite distractions. My life would be totally different. I’ve said this many times - the 20th century was about humanity learning to live in a world with infinite sugar, fat and salt. The 21st century will be about humanity learning to live in a world of infinite information.

Will you consume the mental equivalent of broccoli or Pepsi? In the long run I’ve found it makes a tremendous difference in one’s level of happiness.
I have definitely never heard anyone pronounce the "Robert" of "Robert's Rules" in the French way. If I encountered that, I would find it abhorrently pretentious.
A few thoughts:

- Do you actually want to do all that engineering, or do you just want to be like Carmack, having done all that engineering? Would you be okay with having been similarly productive as him, but not having the commensurate rewards in return?

- Carmack isn't on a higher plane of existence. He still has to shit, still has to arrange to have dinner every day. As per his own recent admission, he still gets distracted and has to modify his environment to cope with that.

- Much like the protagonist in the Bell Jar, you are focusing only on the alternative time streams that appear to you as better. In reality, there are tons of far worse outcomes that you have successfully avoided, but Western culture encourages us to ignore these entirely.

- Humans are notoriously bad at evaluating their own future emotional states in response to life events.

- Fam, you are 23. All else being equal? I would pick being you over being a legendary and wealthy 50+ year old programmer. No offense to the greybeards reading this passage.
Not Czech but how it works here:

* I choose energy provider x

* Friend has bought a part of those remote solar plants and also connected to provider x

* Friend sells his surplus energy to provider x at low price

* Provider x can now sell the power to:

a) His customers (me), and make next to nothing

b) Sell it to the international grid and make bank, then proceed to buy energy for me at going rates making me foot the whole bill.

Guess what happens, and who gets rich. This is market liberalization at work. You reap what you have sown.
What I understood is that Spain capped gas prices, thus reducing electricity prices. But yes, it's not real.
It also makes sense for Germany to have at least two, since North and South are very different in terms of production and consumption but have limited interconnect. Any fix for that is endlessly blocked by NIMBYs who don't feel the cost of their decisions.
"Carmack once said: "being well balanced is overrated". After years of being not so well-balanced, I am not so sure of that."

I think it is all about balancing.

I love coding, but only doing coding? Life would be very empty for me.

There are also beaches, mountains and festivals. Family. And much more.
the magic plan should be to consume less and less and less. If we would consume 20% less, which should be absolutely doable, these problems would alleviate itself quite fast (well, we still should invest as much as we can in renewables). However, for that to happen we would need to have governments that are not afraid and act.
Germany has been exporting electricity to France all summer, because they had to shut down more than half their nuclear power plants for maintenance and due to heat.
North of Norway has almost free electricity while the south is quite expensive. The only link between the two regions are through Sweden for now. A new power line will connect the two regions in Norway eventually. So the north will pay more and the south the same since everything will be absorbed by other European countries.

The electricity companies in the south also follow well the business strategy of privatising the benefits and socialising the losses. The water level in the lakes in the south are too low especially considering the difficult winter to come, yet they sometimes empty them to export to Scotland to make money now.

It’s a bit annoying but at least I get push notifications when the price is very high or very low.
There are several energy markets, not just one. The most energy is bought and sold on private contracts on very long term. Then there is the "next-day" market, which is what this app shows. Then there is an hourly market to match instant demand and supply variations.

It is possible Czech producers sold energy to Germany for a very low price a few years ago on a let's say 5 year contract which is still valid. Now Czech Republic needs to buy at a high price the energy from Germany because it cannot meet its own demand. Again, this is speculation on how that could work.

> Soviet Union, who provided guaranteed jobs, guaranteed housing, guaranteed education, guaranteed higher education, guaranteed healthcare, paid vacations, paid maternity leave, reasonable work hours, reasonable retirement age, free hobby and social clubs, is 'monstrous'.

I actually met a few Lithuanian tourists this summer (I live in Lyon, France). They were quite young (20-ish), but their parents still remember the Soviet Union, and were literally traumatized by it. Stories of Siberian gulags with corpses hanging from trees, people disappearing from one day to the next...

From what I can tell, the Soviet Union was a much worse place to be than the US.

> And lo and behold - the ONLY country on the planet that kills its citizens when they cant pay for healthcare is the US,

what are you talking about? I've never heard of the US government killing people who can't pay for healthcare. Did you mean people dying because they can't afford healthcare? Because that's pretty much par for the course everywhere except post WW2 welfare states, AFAIK.
I used this to not include an entire copy of font awesome: https://fontello.com/

Though if you're using vue3, I think tailwind or fontawesome will have better methods.
Agree. Politically a government is responsible for giving its citizens a sense of security… maybe more so than actual security. Ghana and the US were both doing that in this scenario. Whether the fear is 100% reasonable or not is ultimately irrelevant. “We fixed it, no worries, go back to being productive.”

Then of course there’s the reality of them abusing fear of security to steer the herd, but I don’t want to wander down that rabbit hole.

Not a Mac user, but on my Linux system i require password + yubikey (U2F/WebAuthN) for logging in, but then fingerprint is sufficient for sudo (or U2F alone on my desktop which doesn't have a fingerprint reader).

I typically lock my system when away from it so having fingerprint sufficient for sudo doesn't seem so bad.
The nice thing about this, too, is that there's no real barrier (besides owning a personal computer) to reverse engineering an OS or learning computer science.

More insulation is double edge sword. I moved into a super-energy-efficient house here in north/east Europe. Heating in winter is damn cheap. But retention works in summer too… so I had to get air conditioner :( And electrical ventilation is a must all year round to get air fresh, keep module at bay ant not loose energy living with open windows. Energy saving in bottom line will be abysmal :(

I recently saw a book whose title (in German) was "Life doesn't gave a reverse gear" ... which simply means one cannot go back and change things.

But you are young and have many decades left which you can use to do what you now consider worthwhile.

One last tip: even if you now plan to do better with computers, always try to have a hobby away from computers. Or else you might someday regret that you (again) spent too much time in front of digital devices. Using certain devices outdoors is ok though IMHO, for example at photography (digital cameras) or geocaching (gps).
They know who owns the VM, and now they know that you connected, sent & received a certain amount of data at a certain time.

My hard line is I won’t work for any company that enables the ability for the company to to turn on a web cam or microphone in my home. Web tracking software, key loggers, and automated screenshots is is the norm, unfortunately. I have a personal computer right there if I don’t want to be tracked, so that doesn’t matter to me.

If you feel like you need these monitoring tools as a leader or manager perhaps take a long hard look in the mirror in regards to your own management abilities. I know what employees are doing their job and doing it well by the timeliness and quality of their deliverables and the amount of imitative they are taking. If an employee is not meeting expectations have a conversation with that employee and figure out why. The only thing monitoring software does is make everyone feel disrespected.
Considering most Europeans won’t be able to afford electricity and there is no increased investments into renewables as a result of this insanity it looks like an abysmal outcome. In fact it’s so bad that very likely it will slowly set into motion all kinds of bad workarounds that will utterly destroy the economy.
