Not just SF

I see For Lease signs on commercial real estate at all price points everywhere I go. WFH has been a paradigm shift and commercial real estate hasn't caught up to the reality yet. Companies that embrace WFH will have access to an entire nations' worth of talent and will end up with a competitive advantage. Requiring RTO means employees must be within thirty miles or so of campus, and lots of talent won't go for that anymore. I don't recommend anyone relocate for a job unless they are very young and its just a matter of renting. I'm not selling my house for any employer at this point.

Many tech companies also overbuilt. I predict Google will pull the plug (or massively downscale) on their San Jose "transit" campus...there's no way that Google needs another 25k desks in addition to their existing real estate building/buying binge, particularly with recent talk over headcount. Fortunately for Google, simply by virtue of announcing the San Jose campus, they've raised the value for the undeveloped real estate and will be able to sell it at a profit.

WFH is going to be a defining trend...I predict it will be a survive/die issue for companies.
You're right, but it only works for fixed-sized arrays (which are not as common). Also for a learner it is very easy to think that I can do:

int * my_array;
my_array = malloc(100*sizeof(int));
int array_length = sizeof(my_array);
You seem very obsessed with authoritarian governments. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to live under authoritarianism either.

Why don't we stretch this in any old way back to DDoS? Why should the government say which packets I can and cannot send? Any encroachment by the government into something as silly as sending DDoS packets slices down my ability to speak freely. If they start at DDoS, then what's stopping them from limiting other forms of speech?

See, I can do the same thing. Just because free speech in the form of sending DDoS packets isn't liked by people doesn't mean we should be willing to give it up. Right? Because once we start limiting what kind of packets we can send, we're only a slipper slope away from being told which other kinds of packets we can't send.

Still, I'm not sure why you're dragging government into a scenario which is otherwise devoid of government interference. In this whole story, all I see is a bunch of civilians. If there is a government actor, department, or anything, please share. Otherwise it just looks like standard whataboutism directed at the govt.

I don’t know that much about horses but it’s something like:

A normal horse left to graze in good pasture can get a calorie surplus per hour. That same horse doing work has a calorie deficit per hour based on how strenuous the labor. A horse can get into a maximum calorie debt before issues happen. Thus a few day of hard labor plowing a field isn’t an issue by its self and having redundant horses is useful.

In terms of the Wagon equation, taking a nearly empty wagon back is vastly less strenuous than taking a full one out. It may be that taking several times as long to get back significantly extends the total distance you can move the army from your base. It may also be that running a calorie deficit on the outbound trip and then grazing for days before the return trip is useful. But I doubt any army is would actually try and approach any kind of theoretical maximum as in practice flexibility is needed.

Granted that’s for the average horse, where extreme athletic performance means significant extra muscle mass and thus higher caloric needs independent of actual work being done. But the extreme athletic horses are expensive to maintain so likely used by messengers etc not wagons or farmers.
Imposing mandatory curfews was never reasonable. That was never justified on an evidence-based medicine basis, and it violated the fundamental human right of free assembly. Those involved in policing such policies should be ashamed of themselves.

> If I didn't have a propane furnace I'd have to fly to Florida every winter.

Keep the propane. Use it 5 days every year. You still have 95% of the reduction in CO2 and pollution that a heat pump brings, and reliable heat. Nobody is saying you have to be totally reliant on the heat pump. They don't even work the same way.

This is like refusing to get an air conditioner because you'll have to get rid of your heater. KEEP BOTH! You aren't even really replacing your heating, you're replacing your air conditioner, because a heat pump is an air conditioner. It just also happens to be incredibly good at keeping your home warm as well as cool.
Yeah, we're talking multiple multi-billion dollar industries. That if the main players won't service them will be serviced by niche players who do. You won't find a USB anything version of an SDI capture card worth (they exist, they're just universally not good) a damn or used in a professional broadcast environment because USB, by de facto, doesn't lock and is temperamental. You will struggle to find a USB multi HDMI capture card. Forget about putting multiple USB capture devices on the single shared USB connection integrated into your motherboard. A motherboard with 12+ ports usually has three distinct USB controllers, only one of which is worth a damn. There are PCIe machine vision capture cards that have onboard GPUs and dedicated co-processors so that the machine vision algorithms can run directly on the PCIe card and never involve the CPU nor have to move the captured video across the bus to main (usually far slower) DRAM. USB has incredibly high latency, and more importantly, non-deterministic latency, which is why USB MIDI on the desktop is fine for casual use, and lousy in an event setting or a professional recording studio.

I agree. I think --ffast-math should actually be called --finexact-math. One would also hope that explicitly disabling an option on the command line would, you know, explicitly disable the option, but maybe that's too much to ask.

The author seems to overlook that people with majors STEM have decent backgrounds in humanities, because they still take the courses and maybe even minor in something in the humanities.

You might be able to get through some vocational school without an exposure to topics not related to the intended job, but the university experience is much better rounded regardless of what people major in.

Likewise, humanities majors earn their science credits.

The humanities contains hard disciplines. Mathematics is categorized in the humanities. So is philosophy, and universities tend to teach logic under the umbrella of philosophy. Philosophy, math, logic: all brutal at the third and fourth year levels.
Author might be a bit off in the reason but there's a lot of people not working where they'd like because the job market is weird and at one point you need money.

That might be an exaggeration. According to [1] (who knows how accurate this is / what the metrics are), of the top 5 sites, it looks like 2 are MindGeek (PornHub, YouPorn), 2 are WGCZ Holding (xVideos, xnxx), and 1 is Hammy Media (xHamster).

Of course ownership interests for porn are really hard to unravel so it's annoying to do this in aggregate.

Really? Their catalogue suggests that it can connect to floor mount indoor units that replace radiators. That’s not quite the same thing.

As I understand it, for two-pipe (hydronic) radiators, and air-to-water heat pump can operate them. Chiltrix makes one for residential use. Other vendors seem to mostly offer this feature for commercial use.

For single pipe steam radiators, you need steam. I’ve never seen one of these systems that worked well, but if someone doesn’t want to replace it outright, any heat pump option will need very high output temperature.
You've got to put this thing outside though right? So how do I keep it clear from snow? And not just a little snow. Snow that comes in 1 foot lifts day after day. I would need quite a big shelter to prevent snow drifts and give it the room it needs.
They're starting off by stating their ultimate goal (ban natural gas), but will end up walking it back as a "compromise" in order to seem not as extreme.
Making sure you factor in the opportunity cost of a particular course of action when alternative actions exist is not the same as whataboutism.

There is a limit (for better or worse) to the throughput of political actions (at least in a representative government). Care must be taken when deciding which priority to pursue.

I wholeheartedly disagree.

-Ofast

Disregard strict standards compliance. ...

There's strict standards compliance and then there's the crazy grab bag of code changes that is `-ffast-math`. Further, I'd say gevent can defensibly say that -ffast-math is okay for them given what the manual says:

-ffast-math

... it can result in incorrect output for programs that depend on an exact
implementation of IEEE or ISO rules/specifications for math functions.
It may, however, yield faster code for programs that do not require the
guarantees of these specifications.

I've been digging into QC for the past few months, trying to get to the bottom of the stack and learn exactly how things work. I've concluded that Qubits are best viewed as an (X,Y,Z) vector with a length of one. For some reason |0> is (0,0,1) and |1> is (0,0,-1), and most operations involve rotations around an axis that always goes through (0,0,0)

Quantum supremacy seems to require that these states have no noise, and especially no coupling between qubits. Quantum Error Correction at first blush appears to be a way out, but only corrects errors by pushing Qubits back to a superposition of |0> and |1>, and throwing away X and Y values.

In order for things like Shor's algorithm to work, you have to be able to make many rotations around the line half way between the X and Z axis (a Hadamard gate).

Additionally, you have to make very small angle rotations for the Inverse Quantum Fourier Transform, and phase errors stack up.

I welcome any and all corrections to this interpretation of things.

Isn't heating a really good way to use natural gas compared to other ways to use it? 90%+ efficiency ain't bad.

Their goal is to get people switch to electric heat pumps. So basically we know:

1. Gas is bad

2. Heat pumps are a viable alternative (maybe in most cases?)

3. The supply of heat pumps is low because they aren't popular (yet).

This is a standard problem with two standard solutions:

1. Ban the bad thing, forcing the market to shift to the alternative, causing a lot of short term pain as the supply chain for the new thing ramps up

2. Subsidize the new thing with government money so that it's cheaper than the old thing and people naturally shift to it as they build new or upgrade.

Option 1 makes it happen faster while sacrificing some people (usually poor and marginalized groups) while option 2 is more friendly to society at the cost of slower adoption.

Seems like the environmental groups are coming from the point of view of sacrificing some to make things move faster. They would probably make the argument that those people will be sacrificed anyway during rapid climate change.

So the real debate here is, will climate change slow down enough to make a difference based on the speed of adoption of residential heat pumps?

I don't think it will. In which case option 2 is the better one -- subsidize heat pumps, don't ban gas.
The article mentioned CSV files, it seems more like a reflection of what a huge bureaucracy the US healthcare system is. I liked their suggestion that the government should have created the database as part of the law, done the processing on the raw data, and made it more accessible.
I'm willing to tolerate a little friction to setup syncing, but keepass has friction at almost every level.

Their importer is powerful... but I had to manually configure it to import from lastpass. Just bake that in ffs.

There is no "generate password" button on the main application screen despite that being the #2 use for a password manager behind autofilling. Instead the main screen has "find", "find entries" and "search" buttons which are all slightly different despite sounding completely redundant.

To get a browser plugin, you have to pick from a disturbingly long list, each with pros and cons, each requiring a few config steps, and none of which work as well as the cloud competition. I had random disconnections from keepass and many autofill failures.

Finally, you get to syncing, and the friction is bigger than you expect. It is not enough to set up a LAN folder; your solution needs to be able to resolve conflicts if you ever use more than one device simultaneously, otherwise you run the risk of losing changes. The most common sync solution is dropbox because that is the only mainstream cloud offering with first party support for linux, which is fine, but can still cause conflicts. The recommended way to handle this is quite convoluted[1]. Just bake that in, FFS!

I have, but limited usage. Just for monitoring the dogs when I'd run to the store or something. I've had it bookmarked for years in the event one day I needed it for something.
-40C is -40F so your conversion isn't right.

We spend most of the winter night below 0F so these heat pump options don't look viable. Not to mention we have no where outside to put this thing it won't be covered in snow. Resistive heat is the only thing that seems viable and that's crazy expensive.

But you still need to make and receive regular OTA calls and SMS at times. This is where VOIP is needed such as voip.ms, Twilio, Google voice..

humanities major here. My complaint with the way many humanities topics are taught is there is almost no attempt to consider how students will practically apply the knowledge in the "real world". I don't think you need to abandon theory or critical thinking skills to pay attention to this.
Sure there are. My father recently replaced his oil boiler with an air-source heat pump (from Mitsubishi). It plugs into the same hot water pipework for the radiators that the oil boiler was connected to, output temperature is around 60C. Efficiency obviously drops with temperature, but even at -20C it has a COP of around 2, finally shutting down and switching to resistive heating elements at -30C.
If you read closer, my point was that anything Zig can do, can be done in C due to it's ubiquitous ability to bypass the compiler and move straight to assembler.

I can't think of a major C compiler that does not allow for this, can you? The only thing I could imagine coming close is something like compiling to a very specific target such as GPU shaders, but even that's a bad example considering shaders have been standardized.
Think about it. Is your comment where you call me rude encouraging intelligent discussion? No.

I don't find that doing work when only my phone is accessible is a problem (though I'm sure that varies wildly based on your job / workplace-culture). However, I do find that most of the passwords I have saved are random app-services / websites for personal use, and I'd prefer to have them available if I need them -- even if all I'm saving myself is the effort of getting up and walking over to my computer.
This makes all of zero sense, especially for a forum populated by engineer-types who are familiar with turning abstract ideas into tangible and highly scalable applications.

A subset of users who use a ton in % terms, and can be targeted cleanly and clearly to change use, translates into a large % decrease with the minimal amount of work.

You are suggesting a waterfall-style approach. Toil for years because it’s harder?

It just feels like every time software developers can't (or won't) build things cross-platform, users end up with bigger and bloatier solutions and poorer experiences.

First, it was cross-platform UI toolkits and OS abstractions like Qt (require users to use a big, "lowest common denominator compromise" library )

Then, it was web apps (require users to provide a browser)

Then, it was Electron and friends (ship the whole browser with the application)

Then, Docker and containers (ship the whole OS with the application)

Where do we go from here? Ship an entire physical PC to the user pre-loaded with the application? We keep trading away the end user's resources and convenience to gain developer's time and resources. All to keep (badly) solving the "Well, it works on my computer" class of problems.
this seems like a pretty silly criticism - you have a feature that is both gated behind a per-site permission prompt and that has an option to globally turn it off, and you're still grumpy that it exists?

if you don't like it turn it off. arguing that things shouldn't exist just because you choose not to use them is pretty selfish.
It’s not the president putin. It’s corrupt Germans who took russian money and build insane dependency on cheap russian gas. Now the card house is falling apart and the general population must pay the price. My gas bill increased by ~2,8x. On the other hand russians have nothing left to blackmail Europe.
"It reacts with them to turn them into something else..."

Lol what do you think destroy means?
Elimination of competition usually has the opposite effect. Subsidies can have the effect you describe. Heat pumps have been subsidized for some time and they have simultaneously improved leaps and bounds over a short period. This subsidy is expanded under a law just signed into effect by the president.

Even without these subsidies, heat pumps are more cost effective than natural gas in most cases. There is in fact almost no good reason to ban gas appliances at this point as they are going to decline rapidly without a ban.

The Sierra Club in general is made up of out of touch rich people. This is 100% them letting their privellege flag fly.

Edit: One thing I should've noted is that besides green house gas emissions there is a credible concern around the pollution produced by gas burning appliances. Several studies have shown a link between premature cardiovascular deaths and residential gas burning equipment. The issues are particularly pronounced among individuals with asthma. We should probably cease to use residential gas appliances in the near future but the way the market is going, a ban seems unnecessary and the imposition of such a ban would place serious burdens on the poor.
There is a much bigger startup culture in the US than Europe though.
What is also nice about this story, is that it gives an official pronunciation for ‘char’.
It's not a successor, it's a derivative. And yes, if you're only targeting specific known hardware than you can and probably should optimize for it, but most distributions fully intend to be usable on very nearly any x86(_64) hardware so they can't do that.
I think this framing is a little strange. Ukraine was not joining NATO, and if it had been that seems quite reasonable to expect given that Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014
