We've learned that war can disrupt the flow of energy.

For renewable energies in the U.S., would the U.S. be considered reliant on places like China for the batteries, wind turbines, solar panels, etc?
Your comments read like something written by one with mania more than anything I've ever observed from Linus
As I see it the professional programmer is willing to take on whatever language is necessary to do the job but doesn't switch languages just for the sake of "learning a new language" because frankly this guy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing

proved they are all equivalent anyway. The idea that you're going to be revolutionized by learning a new programming language belies ignorance of the fundamental principles of computer science.

> though I must emphasize not to do it to meet women as the primary purpose

just seconding this. the gym is already a pretty tough environment and people coming for this purpose make it outright hostile. it's not a bar.

do climb though, it's a great way to get strong and do something fun!
The idea is to develop a a self-sufficient industry on the moon so that you can do in-situ production of the manufacturing capacity and have it highly automated or teleoperated from Earth to minimize the number of people travelling to and from.

If it's done right you can produce pretty much everything except for semiconductors directly on the moon.
"Everyone" wont. When I was 22, in pretty good shape, and had a full head of hair I didnt need to pay for bumble. Last time I was on an app I was ~27, in okay shape, and bald. If I was taking it seriously I would have paid for it because I saw a massive impact on my matches based on age/hair status.
I can summarize my SMS marketing experiences in one word:

When you're at the edge you can ask for anything - and electric cars is an easy one to describe.

You could also ask people to reduce electric range cooking, electric dryer usage, etc, but that can be harder to describe and offer more inconvenience.

Also, most people with an electric car probably have another mode of transportation they can switch to.
I suggest you consult some of the readily available news coverage on the topic.
I don't know much about California's energy policies, but it's worth noting that California has by far the largest population in the US (~39 million vs. ~29 million for Texas, the next largest), comprising nearly 12% of the US population. It's also the third-largest in terms of area. You'd expect them to have more problems than a state with a tenth of the population regardless of policy.

Other large states have also had power problems. Texas (where I live) nearly had to shut down its entire grid due to a hard freeze last year and we've been getting regular requests from the state's grid management organization to limit power consumption on hot days. But our climate change problems tend more towards droughts and hurricanes, which don't affect the statewide power grid very much.
I edited shortly after posting because I realized that part was irrelevant, and I needed to make a better point, and it was easy to do so. So fair enough for you to respond to it when you saw it. I'm not editing for any other purpose than to make a slightly better point -- there's nothing dodgy about that. (Edit: I just saw you yourself edit to add a point about "light" artillery, and there's nothing wrong with making such an edit.)

I can't see the flagged post you were responding to anymore, but for your post quoted below, the argument doesn't apply to Mosul (not that you were claiming it did, you were making a specific point not a general argument).

> The US was operating a counter-insurgency, so they didn't use major artillery bombardment, and used precision strike if anything but mostly used mechanised infantry and armour on the ground. It was still extremely destructive. Russia are conducting basically conventional warfare, so they're absolutely piling artillery rounds into these cities.

The US and Iraqi forces used conventional warfare and were piling artillery rounds into Mosul, in a similar way to how Russia is using it in Ukraine.
Not only this, but pay for a professional photographer (and even a stylist if you can afford it!). Photo quality has a huge effect on how attractive someone appears; bad lighting can make a 10 look like a 5, and good lighting, dress and posing can make a 5 look like an 8.
> I'm sure SF has a ton of regulations around building housing.

Which only affect those builders who keep wanting to build in San Francisco. Just go and build somewhere else, that's the entire point of San Francisco regulation!

> massive disservice to the community by driving away affordable housing and business.

I don't agree with you. SF regulations are working exactly fine for SF community: they are preventing the population density from increasing, and that in itself is a very valuable outcome.
Not close in short term but it's inevitable

I think the problem with getting things down will be political.

Any entity capable of precisely delivering enough mass to survive reentry from lunar orbit is now in possession of a weapon of mass destruction, equivalent to a small nuke.

In the late 50s, the U.S. Air Force considered deploying "rods from God," essentially tungsten telephone pole satellites that could hit silos or other hardened targets at near-orbital velocity. Since they weren't inherently explosive, they skirted the Outer Space Treaty. Ultimately they were considered too provocative to deploy.

Imagine a man-made asteroid with several times that mass, coming in from lunar orbit. I'd guess about 10x the energy of a tungsten rod in low orbit, if it wasn't aerobraked or what not. No state which lacks the capability would be happy about it!
Years ago, I interviewed at redgate (an interview I actually got via HN!). I will never forget it, I was very junior, but I never felt looked down upon, I had nice conversation with the interviewers, and it always felt natural. The technical part was looking at a small game code and just walking through it what it does, how it could be tested, improved or fixed.

It all felt comfortable and not "quizzy". I didn't get the job, but I got back a lot of very specific and encouraging feedback that really inspired me in my career, and I will be forever grateful.

My takeaway was, treat candidates as people that deserve respect and time, rather than churning through them.
While on the software side we are close, the amount of compute required to train a model to produce longer, high quality, sensible, and non-surrealistic videos - especially with a plot - is simply too much for the time being.
Outkast was a phenomenon while I was in college. "YKK on your zipper" was a lyric in "So Fresh, So Clean." That was the first time I'd heard of them and I recall looking at all my stuff to see what used YKK. I had to make sure I was dope or whatever.
In a heat wave AC requirements don't go away at night. They reduce, but are still significant. That's the real problem.

> Just a few years ago, the notion that battery storage would play a key role in California’s energy future was seen by many as a quixotic dream for an emerging technology not yet reliable or cost-effective enough to be counted on.

> But in the past year alone, as California accelerates its transition to a carbon-free electric grid by 2045, there is a growing appreciation that battery storage has arrived in a big way, that it is performing well and playing an increasingly greater role in the state’s energy future.

> Mainzer called the influx of battery storage capacity on the grid over the past year “an incredible growth curve, an incredible success story,” adding that “We’ve entered a golden age of energy storage here in California.” The ISO now has more than 3,160 MW of battery storage connected to the grid and is expected to add another 700 MW by the end of June.
We can’t do lightspeed with the best tech available, so it’s more like 300-400 years probably.
The guy they interviewed:

>Trained as an MIT engineer and NASA geophysicist, with an international law degree to boot, Pinault is a partner at Airbus Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm focused on planetary challenges.

I think he probably gets it.
Every good a poor person buys is shipped by fuel though?

Edit: And the rich are more likely to be able to afford electric vehicles and appliances

_and_ they of course are more likely to be able to take a hit to their finances and an upsurge in costs.

The difference between going to the movies less and having to weigh getting all the food you need or all the toiletries you need is obviously quite large.
1. GP meant how individuals get SUVs and trucks to drive themselves around, not to carry freight.

2. More train use instead of trucks is generally a good idea; not sure about landfills though, since you would have to disassemble the train line to them after they're cleared. Might still be worth it though.
I never said that you said A or B.

Of course having something useful is better than not having it.

The issue is, that a lot of people seem to be interested in replacing more-useful things (nuclear which provides power during the day for a/c and power at night for EVs) with less-useful things (solar which only provides power during the day).
"Am I out of touch? No, it is the children who are wrong."

This is an old, tired take that boils down to "we should be ashamed for wanting nice things." If only everyone would just accept simple websites like HackerNews! This is backwards, it is user-blaming. It turns out that the web is an incredible platform that has revolutionized the world, and thousands of people have worked hard to build tools that make it easier to develop on. "Web fundamentals" can't give you Google Docs.
I think one of the InCel theories is that top 1% men are hooking up with (say) 50% of women (and not looking for a long term partner), preventing those women (and the rest of the men) being able to find a long term partner.

I may have garbled this, but I think it is the gist of their theory.
Another way to perceive it is that a great developer is one who has consistently contributed to great projects. Any generalist who shows up to their job every day could potentially achieve that. There is a large overlap between being a gifted engineer and being hard to work with, so the opportunities will be there.
I know this isn't the correct definition but I think of "big data" as the set of data which takes me more than 15 minutes to query on average with a moderately complex Postgres SQL join on well indexed information. I use JSONB in Postgres regularly and have indices on that too. So far I have gotten really far with increasing Postgres work_mem to a gig or more, a fast SSD, and strategically placed materialized views. These kinds of operations in Pandas make my computer billow smoke by comparison.

There's a reason this is sold right next to t-shirts and mouse pads. This is to support a channel and get something useful in return, not for people who are looking for the best value. LTT does at least put a lot of thought into the stuff they sell. It's not just white-label mystery meat from the cheapest manufacturer in Shenzhen's industrial district.

Sure they dont hang around alone in bars. But because someone is with friends doesnt mean you cant talk to them. In fact I'd guess that most single people who go to bars, with or without friends, are open to the idea of talking to people they don't know.

It's on you to figure out how to do that without making it weird.
And to be even more pessimistic, cutting off Russia's Internet would do nothing to stop these, because these botnets can be set up by viruses, which can in turn be initially spread by just dropping random infected USB sticks on the street in other countries. No need for a Russian-IP-hosted CNC coordinating the attack.
Ironically it was Reagan who started the gun control movement in California, because the Black Panthers decided to exercise their constitutional rights to openly carry guns.
I can't speak to mobile, I really don't know much about mobile development.

But when it comes to the desktop, what's the motivation for a PWA over something like Electron?

I appreciate the app size would be much smaller, but then you're back to fighting browser and platform compatibility issues (such as those browsers that have weak support for PWAs). Seems that inevitably you'll be doing "Yes, its a PWA, but it only works/only been tested on Chrome". Well, may as well go full Electron and lock that choice in, right?

Or am I overblowing it?

> For this test, Tweets will be able to be edited a few times in the 30 minutes following their publication. Edited Tweets will appear with an icon, timestamp, and label so it’s clear to readers that the original Tweet has been modified. Tapping the label will take viewers to the Tweet’s Edit History, which includes past versions of the Tweet.

Right now, a reasonable trade-off; hoping it doesn't ever get more lax.

Twitter as system of record really is a thing. There's a very real integrity I feel when I was using it. I've long disliked the idea of edit tweets, but there's been much hullabaloo from those who absolutely positively must have it & who disparage the product endlessly from it (just delete & redraft), and this compromise puts an end to this griping, while also not savagely ruining the forward-direction-of-time integrity of the platform.
Is there some sort of extra premium tier that’s not advertised?
In theory, it's not them recording it, but rather the reactions of society that cause the problems. Banning discrimination based on out of work activity might be a good remedy.
Here's sqlite doing 100 million inserts in 33 seconds which should fit into nearly every workload, though it is batched. https://avi.im/blag/2021/fast-sqlite-inserts/

So write contention from multiple connections is what you're talking about, versus a single process using sqlite?
Read the article - it specifically calls out they are concerned about deficiencies *at night*.

When are you going to charge your electric cars again?
I have thought about this a lot. I have said for a long time that human space exploration doesn't make any sense to me. Space is so hostile to our life in general it seems that only purpose-built machines make any sense for the job. But of course for the preservation of our species, we would want to be able to send the "seeds" of our ecosystem to other places.

But then, if we have progressed to that level of technology, where we can send cells or even just DNA with the machines to be cultivated far away in the distant future... would we even bother? Would we even consider ourselves distinct from the machines by then? Honestly I'm not sure. It could very well be that we consider our creations to be our "children", so to speak. Destined to inherit the universe as we pass gradually into the dust from from which we came. It seems inevitable if we eventually crack AGI or artificial consciousness.

You seem to be confused about medical ethics. A physician's fiduciary responsibility has nothing to do with unorthodox medical opinions. Fiduciary issues generally only come up when there is a financial conflict of interest, like if the doctor is taking advantage of the patient to make extra money by performing unnecessary procedures.
Except possibly the rating SMS, why is this a bad thing ? Doctors have the problem of no shows and it is good to send reminders. I personally don't mind receiving reminders for something I have agreed to. I wouldn't call a Doctor reminder SMS spam.
