There is a book called Salt Dreams about the history of water in the Southwestern US. One of the things it details is that the Salton Sea is something that has come and gone before. This time around, it is failing to evaporate and disappear due to run off from agricultural irrigation.

Water interacting with otherwise arid landscapes is complicated. It can be simultaneously devastating and life giving.

It is perhaps a thing humans need to get better at interacting with given the state of the climate.
World wars don't need to involve superpowers, but they need to involve large part of the world. Russian invasion on Ukraine doesn't, and it's unlikely to escalate - Russia can't, because they have neither people, hardware, or allies, and the defending countries don't have a reason to.

Not sure about this, I'm 110 kg (242 pounds), and I sleep fine with temps up to 30C (86F). Higher than that is less comfortable, but not to the point of not sleeping. It starts to suck above 35.

I hypothesize that Google's Ad business is much less prone to fluctuation than Snap's as well as Meta's. With Google's ads targeted so heavily towards search and remarketing, there is significantly more purchase intent baked into the audience compared to social ads. It's also able to have more diversity since Facebook and Instagram are a lot more similar than Google Search and YouTube are. There's so much D2C on social and those types of businesses have really rode the COVID economy rollercoaster.

A bit of extreme ownership in the same vein as Jocko Willink is inspirational. It's not a reward or ego contest, when you have to open up and be humble about leadership and admission as such - so, critics will be on both sides of the judgement and the reporting.

I am not the parent poster, but Snowden revealed far more information than was necessary to blow the whistle on domestic spying at the NSA.

Just take a look at the list of revelations

https://www.lawfareblog.com/snowden-revelations

Most of the revelations are not at all about domestic spying and instead revealed details about doing what the NSA is chartered to do: international spying.

You can consider it immoral that the NSA monitored the communications of Angela Merkel or the italian ministry of defense, but that isn't whistle-blowing. It's the reason that the NSA exists.

Can I ask what kind of programming you do for it to be so helpful?

I mostly do maintenance of legacy codebases (also known as codebases, lol) where a lot of the work is figuring out where the changes need to be made and actually making the changes is frequently just a few lines here and there.

When I do have to figure out how to use some API, it's often not an open source one, so Copilot would not have it in its corpus.

I think these kinds of conditions are really common since software tends to last for maintenance longer than it is in initial greenfield development.

So I'm confused what kind of work benefits from Copilot. Just pumping out greenfield development of new websites/webapps that don't use much legacy or closed source code or services, just using existing popular open source libraries in commonplace ways?

The other thing I wonder about is code quality. When I look up API docs and stackoverflow examples, I get to read them all, maybe test some examples out in a CLI/REPL, and then decide carefully exactly what to do myself, what special cases to worry about or not, what errors to handle, etc.

Maybe what I end up writing is even the same as Copilot would have written. But in the process, I learn about finer details of the library and make detailed decisions about how to deal with rare edge cases. Might even end up writing a comment calling out a common pitfall I realized might exist.

My question is -- in order to save so much time with Copilot, are you still able to do all this extra thinking and deciding and learning (in cases that warrant it)? Or would doing that just end up consuming most of the time Copilot "saved"?

In other words do you end up producing code much more rapidly, but at the expense of code that looks more like a junior than a senior wrote it, because it is most concerned with working at all, and does not have time to worry about finer details? At the expense of not being as deeply familiar with the foibles of the API you're working on?

Honest questions as I haven't tried Copilot, and these are the thoughts that make me imagine it won't be of value. A lot of what I know I learned from doing the parts of the work that Copilot would be automating. Sure, Copilot would save me time when initially writing it. But would I then have less deep knowledge available when there's a fire in production because I never explored the fine details of my dependencies as much?
Any tips for finding an early stage startup to work for?
The lack of nuance here is troubling and commits the fallacy that birds are a homogeneous population where one bird killed by wind turbines = one bird killed by a domestic cat.

From the paper's abstract: "The treatment had the largest effect on reduction of raptor fatalities; no white-tailed eagle carcasses were recorded after painting. Applying contrast painting to the rotor blades significantly reduced the collision risk for a range of birds."

A cursory Internet search reveals that raptors (and bats) are particularly vulnerable to wind turbines[0], and many raptor populations have been threatened for a long time due to a variety of threats and biology (they take longer to reproduce and recover).

And if one were to describe all the threats to birds listed here, they are basically iterations under the "loss of habitat" super-category.

Yes, power lines are also a big threat to raptor and other threatened avian populations, but wind turbines (and the power lines they use) are still being built, so reducing avian deaths from both sources seems worth researching and implementing. Especially when the parent article notes how little it would cost to paint the blades during manufacture (vs. post-installation).

The big risk used to be getting billed by an out of network provider while you are at an in network facility. Such as getting a surprise bill for $10k from an anesthesiologist that you had no idea was out of network since you thought your hospital was in network and there was no need or ability to check.

But as of Jan 1, 2022 that is no longer a concern:

https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises/Ending-Surprise-Medical-Bill...

The other concern was getting out of network care due to an emergency where you cannot choose in network care, but that is also no longer a concern per above link.

I have had two child births in the past 6 years, and both years we hit our family oop max (~$5k), and after that, we did not have to pay a cent. We took the opportunity to get a whole bunch of healthcare like seeing an ENT, dermatologist, vasectomy, physical therapy to recover from childbirth, etc and all were fully paid for.

I always use the insurer’s website to find in network providers, and I can even get a procedure/diagnosis code and get estimated costs before a visit.

How is that an alternative view? It's the same.

Cutting Russia off was pretty much the only sensible choice and the problem is entirely because they also rely on such a source for energy, had they not been so needy of Russia there wouldn't be a problem, when Russia is a problem state you shouldn't be giving them power or leverage over you at all and they were always likely to do something that would be problematic, nothing they have done is unexpected, Europe walked right into Russias hands and it was clear to see.

It's the same reason why a lot of the world needs to back away from China ASAP or else we will be in this situation again just with a range of other resources/manufacturing in the not to distant future.
I wonder what has changed? The original thread discussing the lawsuit was filled with super dismissive comments, arguing that ubiquity lawyers were incompetent and had no actual way to win the case. Some of the commenters were supposedly actual lawyers too, so it's not even just the normal "terrible armchair law advice" we are used to from HN.
Which other Russian companies supply Russian gas to Europe in significant quantities? I thought Gazprom was pretty much the only company doing this but I have only a cursory knowledge of this matter.

The point of sanctions is a combination of two things. One is to punish a country and the other is to make a moral stance. If in the course of punishing the country a particular company makes more money that does not necessarily negate the efficacy of the sanctions or necessarily negate the morality of the sanctions.
You can go much further: freedom of speech also means freedom from compelled speech.

“Far right” now means anything that disagrees with the $currentThing.

Asking about vaccine efficacy = far right.

Questioning if treating minorities like a quota is ethical = far right.

Asking why children are watching grown men strip naked = far right.

Asking why the US is sending $40B into a proxy war = far right.

The list goes on. Basically everything is far right now.
The Soviet equivalent of this is saying you support free speech but not for capitalists.

> As it turned out, everything was pretty much fine. Different for sure, but people step up and companies evolve, and while it was challenging to fill the gap made by those who had left, it happened faster than you might expect.

> Knowing you’ve been there before is what allows you to respond with “I know this will be ok” instead of overreacting, or allowing the situation to impact you too harshly

This is spot on and I can deeply relate. In my startup (150 employees) we had some senior devs departures and the Junior staff was acutely impacted, requiring me to put a lot of effort into managing the situation and reassuring the team we'd overcome it. Fast forward 3 months and we have filled the vacant positions, morale is good again and productivity is mostly restored.
Yes, but that's not the point. Germany never used electricity to heat, we always used gas. And we always got a significant amount of that gas from the USSR and then Russia. So the German ramp-down of nuclear power has nothing to do with the current energy, including heat and electricity, situation.

And saying half of the Ukrainian blood is on Germany's hand is such a strong argument that some explanation, besides personal feelings, would be helpfull. Besides, I call those things out every time I see them, be that Gorbatchev and Afghanistan, the US and Iraq, France and Algeria...

Disclaimer - I'm not from that area, but I was talking with a buddy of mine from Larkana about this and the region of Sindh and Punjab that was badly affected is basically a badland with bad governance [0][1][2][3][4]. Also fits in line with the Saraiki folk songs I've listened to. On the northern and central Punjab side I'm not surprised that it was not badly effected thanks to the Canal colonies that the British built out there [5].

> Insignificant: Virtually nothing the public is concerned about hinges on specifically how client data is stored, except for lawyers trying to get around cookie laws or to deceive through the text and UI of cookie consent pop-ups.

IMO, your exception is what makes the distinction significant. Defining a cookie two different ways gives companies a powerful new tool for purposefully misleading and manipulating end users.

Yes, many users are already confused. But if we actually make it acceptable to define cookies more broadly (but only when it's convenient for those in power), we're going to make the situation much worse.

The problem is that high demand periods (i.e. for air conditioning) correlate with conditions (high temperatures) that are making the nuclear plants difficult to operate.

It doesn't matter so much for the summer demand if nuclear runs at full capacity in cold weather. Part of the issue is that these plants are using rivers for cooling, which by definition have less thermal mass than larger bodies of water like oceans.

The long term issue is that climate change is pushing these river temperatures consistently higher over time.

For people curious how much impact the .NET performance improvements over the last 5 years have on real, large scale web applications: At work we have a core piece of our online ordering system that has been running on .NET Framework 4.8. We run around 8 web servers and handle around 4,000 orders per minute, 300 requests per second per server.

We have been working on porting everything over to .NET 6 by making all the code compatible so we can build both from the same code base, and we just started putting the .NET 6 version live on one of the webservers for a few hours at a time to test it out.

CPU usage on that .NET 6 machine is 1/2 of the Framework machines! Impressive improvement, and .NET 7 should be even better.
Simple replacement. Germany also uses gas for 12% of its electricity generation. Every bit of gas not used for electricity generation is gas saved for heating and so on.

"since Germany is filling up gas reservoirs atm I'm not even sure how bad the shortage really is"

What are you talking about? It's summer, gas is used for heating, of course it's not a critical issue per se now. Germany is saving gas for the winter, when it heavily uses gas and when Russia will almost certainly cut off the remaining supplies.

And for what it's worth, Germany is already beginning rationing actions for energy starting tomorrow, so even now there is actually already some urgency, which will grow as it gets closer to winter.

Thanks for telling me :). On a serious note though, anything can work with source generators but it doesn't match the style of coding that we'd like (moving everything to be declarative isn't the path we want to go down for certain APIs). Also source generators don't compose, so any source generation that we would want to use would need to take advantage of the JSON source generator (if we wanted to keep things NativeAOT safe). Right now most of the APIs you use in ASP.NET Core are imperative and source generators cannot change the callsite so you need to resort to method declarations and attributes everywhere.

That's not an optimization, that's a programming model change.
Well, another way I can sleep OK in most any condition (short of becoming badly sleep-deprived) is to get a ton of physical activity during the day. Wear myself right the hell out, so I'm dead-tired by sundown. I bet physical activity levels were way, way higher pre-AC, too.
