I realized Workers & Resources, Soviet Republic [1] is the hidden gem of logistics/city builders when I found myself spending way too much time trying to figure out the optimal placement of a forklift garage between factories. Still some issues with transportation (last I checked there is no concept of 'transfers' for commuters), but it's being improved all the time. I also love the Tropico series!

That is true. But the vast majority of the hydrogen produced today is used for things hydrogen was used for decades (fertilizers and oil refining). As such it already has its infrastructure in place, so it's quite a change to migrate to a new way of producing this hydrogen. New uses can demand green hydrogen however.

Germany in particular has a number of green hydrogen producing projects. [1] is a very good source.

Among other flaws in this comment, like the assumption that Twitter has no indirect effects on people who aren't active Twitter users, or ignoring the fact that one of the candidates in the last election was a huge Twitter user, is the surprising assumption that the 61% and 23% are totally uncorrelated.

You're right about the external interface, but you still need to give a name to the actual service behind the URL.

From your point on versioning, I'd assume you'd actually call it UserProfileV2 ?

PS: to get back to the original point, you're still stuck with a "UserProfileV2" service that does a lot more than just user profiles, but that's not reflected in the name.
The other interesting corollary to this is: if your package relies on one like Guava, and it is not bumping its major version number every time it updates the version of Guava it depends on, then your package does not itself honor semver.
This would be quite convenient when dealing with MBtiles files hosted on S3 or similar. There are efforts such as PMTiles[1] that let us use HTTP Range query to retrieve tiles directly from S3, but we still have to convert MBTiles to PMTiles first.

More importantly that OSM is considering providing MBTiles directly (besides PBF)[2].

Just look at the prices on AliExpress. They are a fraction of the prices at retail stores, and it includes the sellers margins. And AliExpress products are not always counterfeits and can be acceptable in quality.

A COGS of 30% is, as they say, on the upper end. For brands that have to offer a certain amount of quality in order to sell instead of going purely for ads and brand recognition.

50% is the retail store margin. I thought it was 40%, but that's probably a global rate, with electronics being higher.

Watching companies, like the ones you're thinking of, react the way you describe reminds me of listening to recovering alcoholics throwing their lives away. But it's too little, too late. Something has got to give, and you pray to God everyone keeps their lips shut and noses clean. Because if you think about, the situation is kind of a ticking time bomb! Hahaha.

There are definitely small jacks [1] that seem to work fine. There's also plenty of 2.5G usb dongles that have a pretty small form factor. So it doesn't seem like there's a technical reason it has to be that big.

I fear you've avoided mine. There are verifiable reinfections. Covid-19 is probably going to celebrate it's 3rd birthday in a few weeks maybe even a few days from now and Omicron has reinfecting for the entire year those that have had other Covid variants before.

Google uses a monorepo because they were popular in 1999, not because they had a specific reason to do so[1]. As the codebase grew, they never changed and instead built tools around it.

That's a perfectly fine choice if you have bodies to throw at the problem and can deal with the consequences of that choice, but most people can't. Google can and so it does. If it wasn't as successful as it is, it probably would have collapsed under the strain of the people and systems required to manage that code.

Now you are being evasive, and your example is still a straw man.

The form of my argument is that it is significant that there are not massive amounts of psychosis historically correlated to cannabis use, like we should have seen if this study is valid, and we really would have noticed. You're suggesting no one noticed alcohol was bad, either, but this is false. In fact, alcohol has been widely recognized as being destructive since it first became popular. That no one did any studies on the effect on fetuses until the 1970's is incidental, as anyone should have been able to guess this correctly without a formal clinical study.

Regardless of alcohol being a poor replacement for cannabis in example or metaphor, it is still a straw man argument.
For someone who is complaining about someone supposedly not reading the exact words you wrote - you're awfully quick in putting words in their mouth. I don't see "alcohol" or "cocaine" mentioned, and yes, the public does put psychedelics in the generic term 'drugs'.
This is true for liquid options. Startup options are not liquid, there is a chance they’re illiquid until the company folds or is bought- and in an acquisition of a struggling company they’re likely to prioritize higher share classes before common stock gets to see a piece of the price.

I agree the Amiga is clearly influenced by the Atari 800, as Jay Miner's mere presence would indicate, but the Atari ST was mostly off the shelf hardware and the Commodore 64 was anything but. About all those two systems have in common philosophically or otherwise is an intentional skew to the low end of the market, and Jack Tramiel (but I repeat myself).
I'm not joking when I say this, I have no idea how business works. I get it in theory, hell I even sold one. But I still don't know. One of my space-cadet day dreams is trying to figure out just what someone could possibly learn in business school and I can't come up with anything.
And one of the many criticisms.
Only if the analyst knows or should know that the employee is getting a "personal benefit" for sharing this information, or the analyst learns it in a context where they have a duty to keep it confidential. Handing an employee a sack of cash to tell you confidential information you then trade on? Illegal. Overhearing confidential information on the train and trading on that? Totally fine. Trading on confidential information from your brother-in-law? Illegal (family members are assumed to automatically meet the personal benefit test). Something you heard in a therapy session? Illegal (there's a duty of confidentiality).

Something your casual acquaintance tells you, with no close relationship and no obvious quid pro pro? That one's been litigated back and forth in recent years, with different cases coming out both ways (to the point that Matt Levine has a running joke about the sacred duty of golf-buddy confidentiality). You'd probably have to roll the dice in court.
I agree 100%!
Same experience here, and I don't have particularly large or small hands. The Switch is uncomfortable to hold- the joycons are a little too thin so you have to grip it awkwardly, whereas the Steam Deck actually has contoured grips like a full-size controller.
It still same issue. Remember intel never get 64 bit and we even now call amd64 to confuse people - we have an intel chip why it was called amd64!!!

No intel is abandon x86 all the times. That is why until the competitor call them out they just will work like Motorola did. And that is why the cpu they have never got real update for decade. Once again amd save the x86 days.

And for intel move to risc … balk the wrong tree and give up even ARM as it is not invented here.

You’d think if this were true, I wouldn’t be seeing stories like this:

“China’s Coal Power Boom

Beijing is building more coal-fired capacity than the rest of the world combined, U.S. climate lectures notwithstanding”

https://www.wsj.com/articles/chinas-coal-power-boom-beijing-...

Coal generates a lot of pollution, in addition to a lot of CO2.

If renewables were a better option, it’s unlikely China would need to continue to build coal power plants.

“China starts building 33 GW of coal power in 2021, most since 2016”

For an external/public project? Sure! For a release code name (like Debian does), yeah why not. For internal service names? No. Not unless there's an obvious connection to its role (ie: TrafficCop handles DOS attempts, etc)

I'm working with some legacy code that followed this pattern for internal services. It's a nightmare. WTF is Bilbo, oh it handles 2fa? And what's Pippin again? And there's a dozen other examples, of course most of them are from LOTR. I literally have to maintain a mental mapping because there's no rhyme or reason to the choices.

That's actively anti-developer, anti empathy and I hate it. It's not cute, fun, helpful, professional. I can't think of a single redeeming quality. Maybe it's ok for a prototype you intend to throw away because it's so ridiculous you don't want to use that name with your boss, so it encourages non attachment.

If you really can't pin down a name that describes the thing you're making, maybe you don't know what you're making?

Also, we can rename and/or retractor things. And we should if their responsibilities change!

Edit: added distinction about internal vs external.

I could not imagine being a nurse or a teacher in the US right now. I wish they realized that they have the leverage and can go on strike. I imagine that's difficult for many of them as they most certainly need the income. A rock and a hard place. I always smile when I read about a nurse or teacher switching to a completely different career field and finding themselves more content.

Only Stable Confusion
IAP ruins basically every app it touches, with the exceptions of the sort of functionality you mention. This goes far beyond games. I’m sure others have said it better but I miss the days of simple freemium models.

IMHO, Paid upgrades are better than IAP or subscription models from a user perspective. Moreover, they encourage innovation rather than revenue stream cultivation.

Out and out capitalism does not optimize for the value to the consumer - that is merely a constraint to be minimized in the name of cost control and revenue maximization, I would contend.

I actually found 'the discovery of gravity' far more interesting. Depending on the style the interpretation was completely different.
Oof @ many of these answers. The reason is that there are multiple "models" of the natural numbers that satisfy the axioms, and the statement is true in the usual model that we all know, but in some other models the statement is false.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_...
and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peano_axioms#Nonstandard_model...

Godel's "completeness" theorem gives a converse. If the statement were true about all possible models, then it would be provable.
This is why I like Monoprice, they have a limited selection of high-quality products at reasonable prices.

I just wish they would make an AV receiver – that seems like a space where they could bring the price down but still have good room correction and Atmos. The Monolith is a good start, but something for the average consumer is what I'm thinking of.

I read of someone using AWS EFS for sqlite, which has nfs functionality, if I recall correctly.

However I like the idea of using a local store with litestream to S3 and updating to the latest db data from S3, if using my application on another device or computer. Sort of like github.

Tailscale was looking into this option, instead of Postgres and other DBs.

Check the definition at 4.26.13.3.1. The third element of structuring is conducting a transaction in currency, and the last element is for the purpose of evading specific reporting requirements, where each of those reporting requirements involve transactions in currency. This is from the Bank Secrecy Act.

The other type of transaction they mention in 4.16.13.4 also involves cash payments in the course of a trade or business.

Everything else is what someone might do to try to conceal structuring, but if cash isn't involved, it's not structuring, because there's no covered reporting requirement.
A Reallocation of Respect
The field(s) I'm in use double blind and it's broken for a host of other reasons. It's really hard to build off a string of work for example. Students (eg the ones writing papers) are often bad at the anonymization requirements. On the other side, the reviewers can often form an opinion on likely authors (whether correct or not). And then up one level (at the editorial / program committee level) that anonymization goes away since they need to check for reviewer conflicts, etc.
Great for "organ donation"
I can't comment on Nix, but I work on a project that uses recursive Makefiles and build containers to make the builds (almost) hermetic.

I dread running builds because it takes like ten minutes to run `make all`. I spent like four hours writing Bazel build files for it and all of a sudden my clean rebuilds were taking like five minutes and my incremental builds were taking a couple of seconds. It was fantastic.

Ultimately it was rejected because other people on the project hated working with bazel and weren't familiar enough when it to debug any problems. If a build didn't work, the only solution was to call me because no one else was used to interpreting the bazel errors: if a curl command failed in a script in a docker file somewhere, everyone knew what that meant. But I was the only one who would see "IOException fetching... Error 401" and immediately know that they provided the wrong password.

I also consulted for another project where people were using containers as VMs, running systemd and copying in updated binaries, because they, too dreaded rebuilding the containers. Bazel, again, made it so that they could rebuild everything in a matter of seconds. That project is still happily using bazel last I checked.
> Spewing hate at the system or at practitioners is just fucking awful.

It's as awful as it is unwarranted.

> The system can’t afford to throw Dr. House and his team at every patient walking in off the street.

Telling a patient they're inoperable or not a candidate for immunotherapy or are going to die in 6 months from their disease is immoral and yet very common. It's really not difficult to just say to someone "based on my experience and the protocols we have at this institution, this is what I believe to be the case for your situation but you may find others with a different perspective".

There's a seriously depraved amount of egoism and elitism in the medical world, in particular among younger medical professionals.

> They’re essentially sitting there all day making trolley-track-payoff decisions.

Yes but that's precisely not their job in a non-emergency context. They're not philosophers, they're not Maimonides. Their job is to provide medical expertise, not make value judgements on behalf of patients or arrogate themselves to a level of expertise or knowledge they don't have.
Precompliance EMI test is cheaper than ever to put together, but a proper ESD setup is still going to be impossible to justify on a shoestring. I’ve seen other people use leak detectors and record zappers and I won’t even get into the things that won’t credibly work. I feel your pain.
You explicitly "wondered" if H was "experienced" with psychedelics, implying that you thought so since you found it "trippy". Go back and read your original comment. No one here is saying psychedelics are morally suspect, they're saying that your explicit suggestion that H was "experienced" is insulting.

Because it is. And your trying to move the goalposts after the fact is just digging that hole deeper.
Yeah, the addition of the constellation system on top of the dual skill trees was huge for me too. Brings the depth to a level where you can spend ages theorycrafting, while not being nearly as immediately daunting to new players as PoEs skill tree can be.
A little of both unfortunately.
With the inhabitants who are already there, of course. Your contention is that intelligent life wouldn’t travel long distances without the intent of colonization. Human history sort of argues against that to a point. Europeans were trading broadly before developing colonial empires. Travel wasn’t the thing that ensured colonization.
>Mid-2021, I stop using FB for anything beyond Marketplace.

The only things I find FB useful for are Marketplace and Messenger. Marketplace is an OK way to sell your junk locally (it basically took over from Craigslist because CL was taken over by scammers and CL never bothered to do anything about it), and Messenger is a convenient glorified phone book and chat app which has a video chat feature that actually works quite well through any browser and doesn't require a local client application like Zoom. It's also really convenient that it works through both my phone and through a browser on my PC, so it's easy to switch back and forth (much easier to type messages on a PC, for instance).
I’d enjoy reading more in this very thread, if you don’t feel up to writing the whole book right now :)
