I've got something very similar! https://github.com/toasterrepairman/boostrap/tree/main/nix

It's also interesting to hear comments from the Nix detractors here. There's ample room to criticize the language and even the design philosophy behind the package manager, but it's a shame that most people never give it a "proper shot". Maybe that's the fault of Nix maintainers though.
For the really important digital stuff (almost 30 years of family digital photography and video and some paperwork) I have a rotating backup schedule. Two of the drives in the rotation stay at my mother's place. Nothing fancy and it's mostly when I can bother to remember. About once a year or so. Still, some peace of mind.
> We also have to remember that Europe seized Russian euros and broke contracts in other ways

First point is true, but the second ist not. Germany went out its way to ensure all contracts are fulfilled to avoid this claim.

> it's not really obvious if Russia would even want to go back to selling to Europe.

Russia very much wants to go back to selling gas and oil to europe, they have after all no other relevant industries and pipelines to China/India don't have the capacity to replace european delivery.

> Europe is buying their gas anyway due to arbitrage so it looks like a winner for Russia unfortunately.

Even chinese and indian experts see russia as the loser of this conflict and to be relegated to a possible chinese puppet state in the future.

>I've been asked countless times why I don't drink [...] and it always seemed odd to me that people even needed an answer. [...] a vocal minority seem to make some sort of character judgement based on your sobriety if they're not satisfied by your response.

Whenever some asks me that, I just confidently tell them I'm pregnant while caressing my belly (I'm a dude), then everyone bursts into laughter, then we change topic.

Learning to divert useless criticism from trolls with humor and confidence, instead of feeling offended and starting an argument to defend my lifestyle choices, is one of the most valuable life skills I learned and has gotten me into places beyond my social status.

Germany tried to make the exact same claim this year about their three remaining plants - but the nuclear engineers running the plants were brave enough to say the gov't was lying. ...not that it mattered because the German gov't just doubled down on closing those plants regardless.

There is no technical reason they could not have extended their shutdown plans.

This is just an unfortunate combination of bureaucratic lethargy and anti-nuclear ideologues.
It's okay. It's not the end of the world. Many organizations eventually need to die. In the private sector, companies just collapse. In the public sector because we will prop them up no matter what, we'll need to take some short term pain as we defund the department.
So your freezer shuts down when your toaster is on? A hard cap that's low enough to make a difference seems like a bad idea, there are many devices which shouldn't be cut off suddenly. And that's ignoring things like medical devices.

Of course there's already a hard cap (usually ~9kW over here), but I suspect most people never reach it.

There are plans in Belgium to charged based on peak power (something silly like "max power used in any 15 minute period"), which would drive up the cost for the average consumer without reducing demand (as people tend not to have much choice in when they use their most power hungry appliances).

It's interesting that they didn't do a big horse and pony show for new models of consoles these days. Historically console manufacturers would use updates like these to push a new "slim" model or whatever, but nowadays it's done without much fanfare. Perhaps they sell enough either way that there's no point in making a spectacle of it.

I always like to wait for the first revision of hardware to buy in, since better thermals generally mean better longevity of the overall hardware.

Ciao is a prolog.

It is not a new project (I'm saying this as a good thing), for example the reference paper for the system is from 2012 http://cliplab.org/papers/hermenegildo11:ciao-design-tplp.pd... It is still developed. As others have mentioned, the actual homepage is here https://ciao-lang.org/. This is currently a link to the reference manual (which I'm shocked that people are having such a negative reaction to. Reference manuals are rare and good).

It is also quite neat that ciao has led the charge towards a lot of recent energy in the prolog community to getting WASM builds working via emscripten. https://ciao-lang.org/playground/

One of the most interesting unique features of Ciao prolog is it's assertion language and static analyzer. https://ciao-lang.org/ciao/build/doc/ciao.html/AssrtLang.htm...

Some other prolog systems now available to run on wasm are SWI-prolog (which unscientifically I think has the largest user community of a prolog) https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/t/swi-prolog-in-the-brows...
and Trealla https://github.com/guregu/trealla-js. Tau prolog is a javascript native prolog. http://tau-prolog.org/

Honestly, it sounds like C++ is just a poor choice for this project, since you are not so interested in performance and you are a lot more interested in developer speed. It is not an example as to why Go is a good replacement for C++ in almost every project. This is a case where you could replace C++ with any business-logic-oriented programming language and you would be happier. It just so happens that your language of choice is Go (and presumably the tech lead's language of choice is C++ for some unknowable reason).

Also, you should not discount compiler speed completely. You, yourself, were upset at the speed of a compile process. All of your users are going to be waiting to get things done while the compiler is running, so you might want to do some math as to how much a 10% slowdown would cost in developer salaries. The makers of gcc, LLVM, and clang spend a lot of effort on improving the speed of their compiler to make sure that you have minimal time waste.
I wonder what Pierre Salinger would have to say about this if he were alive today.

Since the watchOS 9 update, I am the most unhealthy person ever. I saw on Reddit people have the same results but it really went mental; I walked into the local clinic for a vo2max as the watch keeps warning me; it (the watch) was 15 points off on the negative side, and so was my blood oxygen; 10% off on the wrong side. It’s pretty scary for a software update…

That is definitely the downside.

The jobs can't afford to provide healthcare either.

The underlying harsh truths of health care in the United States is that it became bloated by design (incentives for high base prices), and also that the US population is incredibly unhealthy. And that a few million of health care workers (mostly in insurance companies) will have to lose their jobs to make it fair for the rest of us.

But because unhealthy people are lumped together with healthier ones, it tends to lower the costs to a tolerable (still very high) level. Also, many workers don't pay their full premiums, which again helps mask the true costs of health care.

Eventually it will all come crashing down and there will be far more suffering than there had to be, had we addressed the problem earlier and in full (Gut the insurance companies, Single-Payer, Cost ceilings on critical medication).
Tbf, the implication in the filing is that the plaintiffs weren't aware of the possibility until last year.

The coming EU energy crisis is real.

Read the articles. These aren't Russian trolls. They are well described fundamental problems.
Why? Because the reactor was ancient and decrepit. It doesn't help that the power plant in question was badly damaged by a saboteur a few years ago. A saboteur who was never caught nor identified.
Russian propaganda says that Nord Stream 1 is closed due to repairs. It obviously is not. It is closed because Russia wages economic warfare against Europe. You won't find a peer-reviewed double-blind study saying this, signed by foreign minister Lavrov with an interview in the appendix where he states that this is in fact Russia's deliberate policy choice, but one can use some basic reasoning.

The desire for punishing Europe certainly stems from Europe's similarly uncompromising economic warfare against Russia, but let's at least try to focus on the ground truths and not get caught up in a bunch of transparent lies.
The working class will get a larger chunk of the pie only if they organize into powerful unions and directly negotiate with the wealthy to dramatically reduce corporate profits. Right now all that pie that should go to workers goes to investors.

Without that dramatic shift in power, you'll just get what we have: worker pay rising half the speed of inflation. Good luck with that.

Until the corporations stop posting record profits and we stop pumping the stock market to dramatic new highs every year, you're not going to see the working class better off.

I’d put it slightly differently: the public sector needs to pay much more of its total compensation in the form of cash wages instead of in benefits, work rules, and job stability regardless of performance.
Googling around for answers to Mac related problems, I can easily see that about half the people "answering" questions are completely clueless, just cargo-culting various voodoo stuff. I suspect that among the other half, half of those are equally clueless, but I can't tell which ones because I'm myself not mac-savvy enough!

And Xcode itself does not help. I install Xcode. Well, actually, I didn't, because you need to actually start Xcode for it to completely install itself. It seems to come with a complete set of command-line tools; I can compile and run plain Unix stuff from the command line. Great. Except when you try to run Homebrew, that complains that you don’t have the True Command Line Tools; you need to run xcode-select --install to install what appears to be a completely different copy of the same things. Wtf?
I'm an art school guy from a very Bauhaus influenced design program. I spent more hours learning about visual aesthetic and communication than computer science majors spend learning related math disciplines. As a toddler-aged child of college students, I spent many hours in the pictured library and loved every minute of it. I loved the big open spaces, pops of color against the gray, the coversation pits, balconies, and the shapes... the core structure wasn't all right angle boxes. It spurned my interest in design.

Your contention is an artifact of superimposing your taste onto everyone else. Good brutalist buildings are captivating forms based on the altruistic, if often problematic and shortsighted ideologies of modernism. They're striking, unusual, and completely unique. I completely understand why some people consider them hideous, but asserting people only like them because of the cool name is complete garbage.
One way you could interpret this (definitely not the only way) would be that Microsoft - or some group within Microsoft - sees C++ as a possible legacy system, with an opportunity to make a lot of money by judging correctly what customers want and how much income you need to justify that support as existing offerings rust out (so to speak).

Do you have any particular CPPCon talks to recommend ?

My favourite is "Abseil's Open Source Hashtables: 2 Years In" by Matt Kulukundis, Matt's a fine speaker but what makes it so fun is that Hyrum Wright is in the audience yelling interjections as a result of Hyrum's law (this is scripted). For example Matt explains a significant size optimisation for people who only have a few things in their map, it's just smaller with no other consequences - right? Hyrum points out that now rehash happens earlier, so if you depend on it not to invalidate references during the first 15 insertions you are screwed. Guess whether any real Google code did that...
Yep, I believe that's the exact quote. The US started putting impossible demands on Japan to suffocate them economically and militarily and when it was obvious that Japan was pushed to the breaking point the attack on Pearl Harbor was "allowed" to justify the ensuing war back home.

Interestingly I see a lot of parallels in the war in Ukraine right now. The US and EU started arming bordering countries and applying extreme economic sanctions on Russia in rapid succession and "everyone" was surprised that the invasion occurred. Now everyone sees Russia as the overt oppressor. Mission accomplished?

Of course they would be vindicated; they would just lose military contracts afterwards. In a way that’s not in any way related to this affair of course.
I really doubt it's that easy. These are professionals who have studied for thousands of hours. I don't doubt there are cases were someone who isn't actually ill slips through but I doubt it would be more then a few percent.
Somebody inflicted all of that coverage on us; somebody ensured that it was all-day, and all the same on every channel. Seriously, if you weren't here, there were back-to-back two-hour TV "news" specials on every major channel.

I say "news" in quotes, because if you wanted to know what had happened on some day, then you were SOL; there might be a 5-minute segment of actual news somewhere in there, if you were prepared to watch all the rest of the grovelling.

It's high time the media here showed respect for the 20% of UK citizens that are republicans. Do we get 20% of royal coverage expressing a republican sentiment? Do we hell.

Did you know that 20% of the UK are in favour of abolishing the monarchy? Of course not, because the fawning media never mention it.
That's all wonderful, but useless if you are unable to buy one.
Is it just me, or is the author making a lot of soup from very little meat?

E.g., the first bit:

> > For example, if you don’t have a backlog of ready commits, then speeding up your deploy rate may not be valuable.

> Does this mean speeding up deploys to 1 minute is valueless? That’s crazy talk!

That looks to me like a blatant straw man. The quoted author said "may", meaning there may well be other reasons that faster deploys is better. And there are, for a different model which the article's author suggests but doesn't bother to explain with the rigor that he's expecting from people talking system dynamics.

For any intellectual tool, some people apply it blindly and some put in the work to use it contextually. Can you use SD approaches blindly? Sure. But in my experience it's way less common than the the person using an implicit model (e.g., the tiresome "software is a factory" analogies).

There are openings in Quebec for _every_ job. From the service to the tech to the civil sectors, there are vacancies in every sector. I think a major limitation to our immigration programmes is that it is too often limited to people with undergraduate or post-graduate degrees rather than skilled and unskilled workers of any stripe.

But of course, I agree that increase in immigration needs to be balanced and met with social and financial support for those who immigrate.
Also, benchmarks would have to be carefully set up. Sure you can do more MIPS on a cluster of generic underpowered x86 boxes, but what happens if you remove a RAM stick, shoot a bullet through an SSD or are hit by an earthquake? The numbers alone are hard to compare if the guarantees are totally different.

A second thing to count is that it’s vastly cheaper to run thousands of services out of a small group of very large machines than to run the same workload on a large number of cheap machines.
This is the correct answer. The public sector is culturally further and further away from every other employer in the market. That gap needs to narrow.

I need your help on a business idea
Hello guys,
I hope you had a lovely day so far.

Now why am I posting this? Because I need your help.
Let me explain my problem. At the moment I am working on a project which tries to connect people through food. The idea is that if you like to cook and meet new people you can invite them to your place. I would be the middleman like air bnb and connect the cooks with the guests.
First of all. It’s nothing new. The main idea exists already but what do you think about the concept? Secondly, how do you think the cooks can be motivated to want to cook on the platform? Because in Switzerland you are quickly classified as a restaurant, hence making it not possible to make any profit of the dinner if you don’t meet restaurant standards.
Now do you think that getting to know new people is enough? A benefit could be a discount with partners, for example on cooking classes. Another option could be a 5-10CHF Coupon from time to time for having successful dinners. Another one is to be part of a Cooking Community which shares different recipes and inspires. Basically, establishing a network with the other cooks. I of course could combine those incentives but somehow I am still not convinced, which is why I am writing this post. I am also open to different business models! Feel free to share whatever came to your mind.
I want to thank you in advance for your feedback!

Blue collar shortage in a non-US area. Here, you're not getting the big bucks until you have quite a few years underneath your belt. Additionally, you'll have to be self-employed.

That's what people are complaining about. The hurdles are higher and more frequent than before. It's still there, but having your first home at 35 is vastly different from having it at 25. My friend group is filled with people privileged enough to work lucrative white collar jobs, and it's still a massive challenge despite earning more than 90% of all households.

Now imagine what happens when blue collars get saturated again. They can't beat white collar work during or after 25-35 without going off the beaten path, while white collar is struggling.

Cherry on top: households are getting less while doing more work per household.

Yeah the ground strike effect for lightning is a serious risk. In wilderness first aid classes I've taken that cover lightning strikes the best advice if in a group is to have people spread out as much as possible. If everyone bunches together then one person being hit will just radiate out to everyone else with nearly as much energy. Better to be spread out so at least someone might survive and deal with the victims. Not a good situation though which is why the best protection from lightning is to avoid it entirely!
