People cannot cope with even the slightest gray area, so they end up saying and doing ridiculous things. Everything has to be 100% good or 100% bad. The political environment makes this worse: if you concede anything at all, it will simply be used as a weapon against you.

Of course, it took decades to get people to acknowledge that the harms of some drugs were far less than the harm caused by policing them, and that the harms had been wildly exaggerated for political reasons, so it's not really surprising that people will jump to deny any harm in case it gets banned again.
Apple fixes eighth zero-day used to hack iPhones and Macs this year
Aesthetically, at this point descriptive names almost look unprofessional, or at least quickly made. If you call your thing "ui-state-syncer" I'm going to suspect it's not really a big budget mainstream thing.

If it's called Vue, I'm going to think it's big enough that someone thought it was worth it to spend an hour thinking of names. It was intended to get big. This isn't some minimal internal thing for one specific use case that probably isn't mine. I'll be more likely to check it out.

They also limit the scope of a project. If you have a "datasender" people will say "This shouldn't preprocess data! This shouldn't compress! This shouldn't intelligently decide when to drop frames! It should just send!"

Now you gotta have a separate frame droppy preprocess thing, and the part that does communication has to tell it what kind of loss you have, but even that is not just sending data, so more likely you won't get that feature at all, or you'll have to go beyond the name.

If you hate features I guess it's a good way to make them hard to implement.

It would be interesting to know the end game here.

If the Ukrainian war ends, I assume that isn't the end of it. I assume the taps from Russia will turn back on, but it has shown itself to be an unreliable supply.
But this is not EDI's fault, it's the power-crazed companies and their management that bastardize EDI. Because they can.
cheaper maybe, easier definitely but diversifying into new tech is worth it in and of itself, this is more of an experiment if anything given that it's only about a dozen trains.

If we're learning one lesson right now in Germany it's probably that having some things not running on the electricity grid is potentially a good idea. Hydrogen is energy dense, burns clean and doesn't depend on any system infrastructure, which is pretty neat. I think it's underused still, afaik Japan is the only other place betting some money on it.

>>The idea that a person should be locked up for making a joke, but a corporation should have the right to do whatever it likes.

I don't think anyone has this kind of mindset - at least I certainly don't. Anyone should be arrested for joking with nazi salutes, no matter if they are rich or poor. Not sure why you think that corporations get away with it - is there any corporation out there that uploads "joke" nazi salutes to youtube and gets away with it? If you mean films specifically, then films get approval of the British Film Comission which judges anything submited based on artistic merit. We can disagree with its rulings, but it's not like a corporation has "the right to do whatever it likes" as you put it. Quite the opposite in fact.

>>The really funny thing is that poor pleb is branded a "fascist"

I don't find this funny at all, glorifying nazi imagery(and yes, "joke" nazi salutes achieve exactly that) is no laughing matter.

>>while the powerful people who came after him are considered brave and valiant freedom fighters for doing so

You mean....the police?

I think people here just don't get it - making Nazi salutes even as a joke is not acceptable in European societies. The horrors of WW2 are still too fresh and the pain too great to allow it - we have made these laws to make sure that nazis don't come back, and anything associated with them is banned. You might think "well what sort of harm does a single youtube video do, the guy was clearly joking". And yeah, it's obvious to you and me - but to some, that will be a "funny" thing to repeat. After all, they are only joking, they don't mean it really, it's fine, right? No, it's not, and unfortunately it has to be stomped out as early as possible. Again, I understand that this might sound alien especially to American readers, but I don't have anything else to say on that matter, other that it feels like the right thing to do, given the topic.
"I just talked about myself, and you, yourself.
You should’ve talked about me, and me, about you."

— Michel Poiccard, Breathless (1960)

"The 1960 French crime drama film, Breathless, by Jean-Luc Godard has a very interesting idea about love. The protagonist, Michel Poiccard (Jean-Paul Belmondo), a car thief and crook, is unlikeable. He steals from helpless women as well as vulnerable men, and kills a police officer without remorse. He claims to be in love with an American, Patricia Franchini (Jean Seberg), but at one point he threatens to strangle her, and he disregards her wishes whether big or small. But he wants to be with her, and we believe him. Is this enough to be defined as love?"

Well, yes, the war has made it more difficult and dangerous to do journalism of any kind in Russia.
There are good chances that you have not read the fine print about that vegan omega 3.

The first time when I have seen vegan omega 3 supplements, I have also been fooled into thinking that they are not much more expensive than fish oil, and I have bought some.

After reading the fine print, I have discovered that their content in essential fatty acids was significantly lower than that of products based on fish oil and also significantly lower than for an adequate daily intake.

This is a marketing trick to make their high price more palatable.

That is why in my previous post I have mentioned that the vegan supplements are 8 times more expensive per content of essential fatty acids, because their price per capsule is made to appear low.

The $4.80 per day is computed based on the recommended daily intakes for essential fatty acids, and not on the micro doses recommended by the manufacturers of omega-3 vegan supplements, in order to not scare their customers with the real high prices.
> where we use LiPo batteries to store seasonal grid level power from renewables

Can we build enough LiPo batteries to store energy at that scale? Not so sure.
My favourite example of how this can go sideways is BlueJeans - video conferencing software.

There's probably some cultural context I'm missing here, but I asked around in the office and got a different answer each time as to why it would be named like that.

Wow, they're using one-latch bins now? As far as I can recall from back when I cycled through the Rockies in the summer of 2000, the bins in the national parks all had two such latches that needed to be operated simultaneously to open the lid.

Maybe that design proved too challenging for the tourists.
Afaict there's nothing new today here - there was at least an extra month's notice on this. Emails too - tapering down towards the newly enforced storage limit for those that would breach it.
Sitting even further north than Denmark, the OP did say that their melons are imported. Although it's possible to grow them in Denmark (especially in a greenhouse) perhaps it's not commercially viable.

Regardless, I guess the OP just needs to find a better grocer, local "fruit mongers" up here in frigid Sweden certainly routinely handle watermelons that are way bigger than 3 kg. :)
Depends on the facility design: whether it's possible for the whole place to go up at once, or if it's divided into sections that are isolated from each other. Even individual batteries and cells can be isolated from each other if there's enough space.

Space and weight, and firefighting ability are much less of a constraint in these types of facilities than they are in an EV battery.
Very good. I've never had to use COBOL in anger in my career. I do have fond memories of a little DBASE work and building TUI screens that bind to data/procedures was really easy and productive.

I mean, thank you for the thoughtful advice about my finances, but it doesn't help in the slightest. Life is getting a LOT more expensive lately, with everything going up in price - I'm seeing my grocery bills double, energy bills triple, spending lots more money on petrol, on eating out, on taking my family out for trips, and yes - on gaming too. Is that £1 every few hours making me destitute? No, absolutely not and I'm extremely privileged to be able to afford it. But at the same time every £1 taken for this isn't a pound saved, or spent on my kid, or on literally anything other more productive.

So yes, I can "easily" afford it, but it doesn't mean that the energy consumption of my gaming rig hasn't affected how I think about it. Any future hardware upgrades will also be impacted by this - there is no way I'm buying a GPU with 500W TDP, even if again, I can afford the energy bills.

Hydrogen trains might make sense even if hydrogen cars don't, since the trains run on their tracks, according to a fixed timetable, and need little new infrastructure.
This is terrible advice. Cryptic names are horrible. It's a layer of cognitive overhead that no one needs. Yes if it gets so big that it's out grown it's original purpose that's a problem. But if it's really big people know what it is because it's big. If it's not that big rename it!

> That would be a wrong assumption. After the Second Empire fell, a return to the Bourbon monarchy was considered the way forward. The problem was that the idiot next in line was too inflexible with regards to flag designs, so the Third Republic was set up with a largely ceremonial president with an extremely long term (7 years)

No, that’s only Tiers and the other idiots of the French right who had already dishonoured France during the the semaine sanglante and was only elected by the part of France which wasn’t occupied by Prussia. The left was republican but the commune had temporary weakened it. There was no way a return to monarchy would have hold. The population wasn’t really in favour of it which is why the third kept going.

Their disagreement amongst the right went much further than the flag anyway. No one agreed about who should rule and under which constitution.
Well indeed. That phrase signifies that monarchy should be uninterruptible, which I'm suggesting deserves questioning.
I guess "moderately" because it's a climate change outcome that's actually debated by climate scientists, and not regarded as particular likely to happen.

If it does happen it shifts man-made climate change from an unprecedented humanitarian disaster to a possible global extinction event. The last time it happened it may have wiped out 81% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrates.

But, there are so many terrible consequences of climate change that are near certainties for us to waste valuable focus and mental energy being terrified of the merely hypothetical.
And now we don't die anymore because of simple infection or other preventable diseases. Many if not all of the things that keep us fed, warm and healthy today are only because we endured technological disruption.

Agreed always bugged me too. We have both a .NET library and a web API product, and I still can't tell when customers refer to our API, whether they mean the library or the web API.
It's another case where everybody has their own opinion/meaning for the same words/abbreviations.
But originally, API started off as the "Application Programming Interface" and then was hijacked by the web hype.

I like a middle ground, which is to name things with somewhat-but-not-entirely related names. For example, our authentication service is the Keymaster, the CI service is the Pipeline Worker, etc.

For the longest time I avoided Tailwind because including styles right in the markup seems like insanity to me. However, after using it on a project I can't argue with the results. It's quick to use and the site does look a lot more consistent than other hobby project I've done.

To me, the main benefit of Taiwind is not choosing arbitrary values. Writing everything as classes in the markup is something I deal with. It's ocasionally really convenient, but a distraction most of the time. This seems to solve exactly that problem. I still get a reasonable consistent set of values to choose, but can still write normal CSS. I'm really looking forward to trying it out.

I did not watch Breathless, but the feeling you describe reminds me of what I experienced watching La Piel Que Habito by Pedro Amlodóvar (a loose adaptation of a novel: Mygale by Thierry Jonquet).

It was an incredibly difficult movie for me to watch, the amount of psychological violence was so unbearable I barely made it to the end, couldn't help but think what could possibly go through the mind of the writer to give birth to such a twisted story.

(Note that Breathless has Godard for direction and screenplay but the story is Truffaut and Chabrol)

Were that to happen I can just about guarantee the crime would be pursued by the police about as vigorously as a petty theft report. The government probably would have left me alone but how much is that worth when other people will do their dirty work for them?

Short names, like "Gru" were reserved for the most powerful trolls because there were only so many combinations of three letters. Long names on the other hand were a sign of weakness and cowardice - bringing ridicule to those who introduced themselves like that.
The point is, don't panic, and also assess with numbers and data whether the best course of action is to do what we are doing. Many (especially in europe) are on a course to remove way more than 4% of GDP in the name of global warming. So they are destroying way more value than they are saving.

It's not really a hard limit if there are exceptions, though?

The issue is that The Netherlands has been moving in this direction for 50 years. It takes decades of consistent policy to convert a city from car-only to multi-modal, and adoption will only increase once a critical mass has been attained.

For cycling specifically, it's about the value of the network: what I've seen happen in many places is that they construct a bike path, evaluate it a few years, and then conclude that there's not much bike traffic, so it must be that the people simply aren't interested in cycling. That conclusion conveniently ignores the fact that the bike path terminates on a dangerous multi-lane road at both ends.

You simply won't see cycling adoption rise with half-hearted implementations like that. Only when people can safely make a full trip to their destination does the alternative begin to appeal, and only then might you see a generational shift to cycling. So for a city that's completely car-dependent now, you're looking (roughly) at a 25-year policy window to see the full effects.
