Sure. But as consumers, I'm guessing we only accept intermittent generators given that baseload providers exist.

It seems "unfair" that I can build a wind turbine and profit when the wind blows 80-90% of the time, causing me to be the marginal producer and heavily outcompete nuclear. And then during the critical hour/day/week when neither I, nor any other windmill can produce power, the expensive nuclear power plant has to come and save the day. Sure they'll get paid, but not enough to finance it the rest of the year.

(The devil is of course in the dynamic details. How big is the correlation between output of different intermittent producers, how much can consumption reduce etc).

I'm not sure I understand the lingo in TFA, but I think a similar (but probably worse) mechanism could be:

All providers much sell "baseload" power, regardless of how it's produced. You sell yearly contracts on MW capacity. If you are a nuclear plant, you can just sell rated capacity. If you are a wind turbine, you have to hedge the risk of it not blowing. Either by buying baseload capacity from nuclear or some other reserve, buying batter power, or by over provisioning the amount of installed capacity etc.

Confusing? We get introduced to the main villain, we learn how the elves came to middle-earth, and we setup the story for how Galadriel will get a second chance for vengeance while Elrond is setup to unite the Elves and Dwarves in a common goal.

Audiochecker (https://archive.org/details/Audiochecker.v2.0.Beta.Build.457) is amazingly good at detecting WAV/FLAC that is really just a re-encoded from MPEG. It's specific to MPEG though, so it wouldn't be able to detect e.g. Vorbis converted to FLAC.

> Don't reach for a framework without first understanding the Web platform's primitives

Can you elaborate on that - what are concrete topics you suggest learning first? I actually did a few Cisco Networking Academy semesters, in a different life, but that was about OSI layers, computing IPv4 subnet masks,... it really feels like there's a missing link between that stuff and the knowledge I'd need to make an informed choice between Next.js and Vue.js (or any of the half-dozen other tool choices I have to make) for my app idea.

Today the Rust std::sync::Mutex type (on Linux) just uses a futex, not the unwieldy pthread_mutex_lock (which on Linux ultimately has a futex inside it anyway).

This why Rust's Mutex<[16; u8]> (a Mutex protecting an array of 16 bytes) is significantly smaller than C++ std::mutex (which doesn't protect anything itself). This was already true on Windows, and for a few months it has been true on Linux too.

But you're correct that Rust for Linux doesn't have std, and so doesn't have std::sync::Mutex. However it does have kernel::sync::Mutex which is reminiscent of the standard library Mutex, e.g. Mutex<T> is a thing, locking defaults to giving you a guard with access to the protected contents, and so on. But being the kernel it has unsafe methods that look way more dangerous than I'd be comfortable with. The Linux kernel already needs a mutex type (in C) and so kernel::sync::Mutex<T> builds on that.
Can someone explain to me why any of these values truly matter?

My background is in game development both on Facebook and mobile, and I spent a lot of time paying close attention to the growth of the web and its various startups. Number of nodes and market cap both look a lot like vanity metrics to me - numbers that sound good in a market/tech-specific way but don't actually reflect the true value or growth potential from a business perspective.

Cryptocurrency, AFAIK, has network effects, so the true value should likely be measured in common KPI's like DAU, MAU, and some kind of replacement for ARPU - likely average transaction volume per daily/monthly user.

The numbers I've seen for crypto games - DAU in the tens of thousands - are absolutely laughable compared to the numbers on Facebook and mobile games even in the first year or two of the platforms. If crypto was truly going to be a revolutionary mass-market phenomenon, I would expect to see hundreds of thousands to millions of DAU on any individual currency and AFAIK that's just not happening.
That difference is, I fear, ideological rather than principled.

Think of all the harassment directed at Kyle Rittenhouse, or the Covington Catholic kids, or just Republicans generally, on reddit and Twitter. Harassment was featured on the front page.

That isn't a small problem that the moderators are unaware of; it's an ideological belief that certain harassment is acceptable.
Oh no you can’t post hate on the internet, that’s clearly just as bad as causing someone to commit suicide.
Average being 27 and almost all being in 18-25 range are massively different statements.

The civilian to soldier death ration in wwi was different. The civilians were not directly targeted the way they were in wwii. The ideologization was lower and population itself was not the enemy the way it was in wwii.

Also, both Amrica and UK sent soldiers away to fight. UK was bombed, but did not had large displacement of population or ethnic cleansing or retaliation for those going on in their territories.

Modern wars kill more civilians then soldiers.
Don't these both benefit mass arbitration? The point, as I understand it, is to have a lot of people submit claims about an issue so the company is forced to pay for them all.

If, instead, claims could be combined then Adobe/PayPal/whoever could combine them all and presumably avoid paying to arbitrate each individually.

Are you seriously wrestling with the proposition that computing is a subfield of mathematics?

My intuition here is strong. I am deficient in maths and struggle with formalisms in computing. All my competent programming family & friends who program are mathematically literate. Those who program in functional languages especially so.

But your point though tersely made stands: it deserves to be demonstrated rather than just asserted. Certainly there are proponents of the theory language faculty matters more than mathematical ability.

WAV this and WAV that.

In 1988, Apple developed the Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF), which is uncompressed pulse code modulation (PCM). PCM is what is stored on CDs, so any Mac with a CD-ROM drive attached will recognize the PCM information on Red Book audio CD's as AIFF files.

Inexplicably, 3 years later, Microsoft and IBM developed the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) in 1991, of which the WAV format is one implementation. RIFF doesn't store PCM. Instead it stores various formats of data in 4 byte "chunks."

Depending on the audio file format specified, one can always distinguish a Windows user from an audio professional (or a Mac user), because since about 1990, the vast majority of professional audio recording (tracking, mixing and mastering) studios have been exclusively Mac shops, including such greats as Skywalker Sound and Abbey Road Studios.

> CD audio is perfectly lossless - it encodes the signal that you put in by measuring a voltage 44100 times per second and recording that exactly. When you play it back you get exactly the same signal back out.

Not at all! CD audio amplitude is quantized to 16 bits, and temporally sampled at 44100 Hz as you say. Certainly very high quality, but there's absolutely a loss (that nobody can really hear).

PNG - another very well engineered format - also stores a checksum of the image data as well as checksums of every metadata block.

But I guess most people and thus file formats don't care. If your file's corrupted and you don't notice it doesn't matter. And if you do notice you don't need a checksum to tell you. I don't necessarily agree (knowing where the corruption occurred is useful), but I can see the reasoning.

I don't know why that would be. Markets aren't intrinsic to how things work; they emerge if people are allowed to trade (including their time as an employee) according to a set of predefined rules.

So salaries might go up in one region if people want to do business there, for the sole reason that there is competition amongst employers for the employees there. They'll go down (or stay the same) if there's competition amongst employers for employers.

How does your example raise salaries all over the world to the most expensive salaries, worded in a way that also explains how those expensive salaries came about?

Duping investors clearly isn't the worst crime committed here. The true crime is puting sick people at even more health risk simply because she wanted to be a billionaire. I could care less about losing money, just like I don't cry when a stock or property I own plummets in value - there is risk (gamble), and I accept it when it doesn't work out in my favor unless someone is literally stealing from me intentionally and even then I admit partial negligence as I should have done more due dillegence to prevent being dupped. However, when my family consults a healthcare provider, I trust them to not intentionally harm us.

Maybe if you are starting out. But over the years I have found reading code to actually be easier. You don't need to solve any problem. You just read the (sometimes obfuscated, and incorrect) solution.

Writing code only appears easier. But once you factor in the cost of it becoming correct over time it's much harder.

Gas is a precondition for renewables. Without gas there's no reliable energy source, that can be turned on and off at will. That is renewables without gas can not keep the lights on, when the sun's out and there's no wind. (Oil, Coal and Nuclear takes longer to turn on and off, and so will not be able to respond to the sudden changes in electricity production, brought on by renewables.)

It's very likely that Russia has been supporting green parties across Europe for three major actions:

2. Scaling up sun and wind power.
3. Shutting down nuclear power plants

I can't find sources for number 2. and 3 now. But do remember having seen support from Russia and Gazprom for parties promoting these actions.

These people exist, but I am extremely skeptical that this is the primary motivator for the droves of negative reviews. What major media production isn’t diverse?

This reminds me of the controversy around Ghostbusters 2016 where people claimed review bombers hated the movie because of the female cast.

I would say it is much more likely that these well-loved properties had botched adaptations and that is why so many people are raking it over the coals.

But unless you have some data that speaks to this being the norm across the internet and my experience being the exception all we have is anecdotes and mine cancels yours.

Since I am developing Glicol (https://glicol.org), I am particularly interested in this question, also because many often say Glicol should be used in education.

My take is:

Good education should be personalised.

The main challenge for programming education is to let the student build the motive for coding, asking questions: why should I program? what can I do with codes?

To do music live coding can be one motive. But in the end, I want to let them know, they can have any kind of motive.

Motive/curiosity first. Math, or programming is just the method they will employ, not the goal. Perhaps with the motive, they can pick up math/programming more efficiently using "traditional activities".
