> not... something everyone does

Yeah.

That being said, I think you're ascribing to intent what is attributable to worldview: people of that sort see history in terms of the advancement of the Gospel, the ongoing Communist revolution, or the progress of industrialization, and they communicate it as such.
Portability?

Are you saying Go has portability problems?

Can you elaborate on that very surprising claim?
I had to through my saved favorites, but I knew what you were talking about. From 5(!) years ago:

Zoning Reform Backfires
The gains would just go to the wealthy without efforts to secure more of the gains for the broad working class. This is as true for the Waltons and old money as it is for your run of the mill unicorn founder.

I’m really excited to see the organizing efforts taking place in the US; without them, these workers won’t be able to secure better wages, better quality of life, and a seat at the table with the business. The CEO would just go buy yet another yacht (the CEO of Starbucks is worth $4B and owns a $120M mega yacht, for example).

No, it’s just a single continuous “slide”.
I don't really see the megacorp connection. Maybe you're thinking of stuff like Heineken and other corps doing their advertisements?

But I think the real place young people meet alcohol is every festival, club or pub, not in a purely commercial arena.
Ah. When I search for Joker's plant, the only place I'm seeing that term is actually your comment here.

Trusting a dubious central authority up until you get burned is a bad heuristic.

>Does anyone still drink sugared sodas when going out?

Is this a real question? You don't ever see soda being served at a restaurant? I see it all the time and it's obvious people are still drinking it since it's on the menu at literally every restaurant.
Are you 100% sure you're not actually in the UK now?
Of course PV and wind outbid nuclear. Using those when the weather are optimal and Russian natural gas when it doesn't was much cheaper than having a nuclear plant produce both when the weather is optimal and when it isn't. It was this economic model that resulted in Russian natural gas being declared green by Germany.

Operating a nuclear plant only in order to compete with oil and natural gas is simply too expensive, and wind and solar can always out compete nuclear when its windy and sunny. Everyone has acted economical rational to create the situation we are in.
What about the cuteness of puppies, kittens, bear cubs, baby seals?

Something about that triggers an emotional and compassionate response to their distress; and this seems to be hard wired into our brains.

That would seem to be a complication for what you are suggesting.

Well everyone vapes at my school so maybe there's your answer.
Because people have been so brainwashed to think Russia is the most evil force on the planet and must be stopped at any cost (including nuclear war).

The brainwashing has been too effective. Leaders of western countries are acting irrationally an know it but don't want to oppose popular opinion.
Lol. The website has some wonderful info:

What about security?

If you can't trust public visitors from the internet, who can you trust? Executing user input as commands inside the operating system is the most direct way to get things done, and that's what matters most.

Does it scale?

So far I haven't run into any performance problems. Whenever I've opened up a DoD website to several users, my hard drive tends to get wiped long before I discover performance issues.
Smoking makes you smell terrible even when you aren't holding a cigarette. Young people in America never picked up the habit in the first place because of anti-tobacco education, and not being desensitized to the smell, started gagging around people who still smoke. The smell, and the second-hand smoke issue, both make smoking viscerally offensive to most of those who don't.

> Do restaurants need to start banning alcohol from their venues?

Restaurants make more money selling booze than they ever made selling tobacco, so there is a lot of political pressure for this to not happen. Not just money from selling the booze itself, but from all the other irresponsible purchases drunk people make. Who's going to spend $25 for a ham and cheese sandwich if they're not drunk?
In chaotic environments, there isn't any why. There may be a reason for a specific alternative not happening, but you can never explain all of them.

When you’re growing you have different nutritional needs in general, and it’s kind of hard to get some micronutrients from plants. I wouldn’t be surprised if those two things put together meant that vegan diets are problematic for children but not for adults.

At any rate, even if a vegan diet is unhealthy for you, it’s a reasonable choice to make — I’ll sacrifice my health to do what I think is morally correct. Crucially, though, it’s a choice you have to make, and your parents shouldn’t be making for you. Once they grow up and are mature enough to decide for themselves, they can choose to go vegan.

Overall I have some issues with veganism, but, if you’re going to do it, this is an approach I can agree with (compared to a family friend who feeds her cats vegan cat food, despite them being obligate carnivores)
Perhaps I should add... "except by policy".
I disagree, but they do take some effort to use effectively. Isaac (or someone) has spent a lot of time segregating out idiomatic simple, and overoptimized solutions. I have looked at the programs, and within the idiomatic programs similar to the types of stuff I do (not a lot of allocation) go varies between 30% and 300% more CPU time. And I have used it as I said. Because go is compiled to native people keep suggesting it is a systems language. Fortran is compiled to native too, but I don't want to write a kernel driver in it. Go has a huge niche, back-end. I think it has plenty of competition there with java and c#, but I reach for go because it makes things quick and easy. I might learn c# if back-end was my day to day, but it isn't.

Using c++17 (don't know 20 yet) for very small embedded targets works fine, easy FFI into the BSP, small to no runtime depending on usage.

Trying to target that with go would add a lot of extra challenge.

I think something like rust or preferably a subset of it for c++ ise cases makes sense. My next project without a GPU I have penciled in rust on the plan. The other developers are excited. Still too hard to use gpu with it. Or rather too immature.

The other developers like go too, but throughput will be critical without the gpu, and every little bit will count. And for numeric code it wouldn't just be a little bit of a hit. I wouldn't even suggest julia, and that is as close to a do-it-all language as I have seen.
I love having a NAS that replaces Time Machine, Dropbox, iCloud, Netflix, Spotify, Disney plus, Hulu, runs home automation, has my security system on it, etc etc.

People use so many cloud services and having it all private and self-hosted is absolutely amazing. It’s really not that hard to set up either, and there’s little to maintenance outside replacing a failed drive.
No. If I’m starving, I’m going to take a puppy, rip it’s heart out, and eat it raw. But… I’m not starving. None of us is. So to me, this all comes down to having a conscience, and being considerate.

You answered the question quite well — you simply care more about yourself than anyone else. If that’s okay for you, carry on.
Yeah I was mostly being snarky and pointing out the irony(?) of the manual itself not being a part of "it just works" because it's not called a manual and most people wouldn't expect it to be under "tips". The thing you need to know how it works doesn't "just work", but then again if it "just works" you shouldn't need the manual. Maybe it's a catch 22 instead of irony.

We keep talking about alternative energy's importance in reducing fossil fuel emissions. But here is another example of why alternative energy is so important. It provides diversification from shortages and geopolitical nonsense that can your lifestyle.

If you can get solar for yourself, get it while still being connected to the electric grid. You will have a much more reliable energy system than just relying on the grid.
Thing is, I don't have the endurance to read 500 comments. If there's more than about 100, I'll pass. And I come here for the comments. Perhaps /newest would suit me better than /active.
As mentioned in my original post. I used to regularly drink. Often with food and hydrating.

You have alcohol tolerance and I no longer have that. Your experience with hangovers is entirely based on tolerance.

Hydration and food are an important aspect of not getting a terrible hangover for me still but it does not stop them entirely.

Not true at all! My (EU) tax form has a special field just for this case - income from out-of-EU employment... (and because of tax residency rules that applies only if I live there)

And there definitely is a legal framework - this has very exact rules specified by the bilateral tax/trade agreements, every combination of western countries has them, and many non-western countries too.

I'm sorry, but JPEG compression is extremely noticable especially with non-photographic material such as web graphics. The compression is lossy by nature, and predictably introduces noticeable artifacts. WebP on the other hand has support for lossless encoding.

It's simply not the same thing. If I opened my file browser one day and saw that all of my FLACs had been converted to MP3, I would go on a murder spree.
I was a trumpet player in band and had a "Lemme try..." moment after one of the French horn players told us this. It was indeed much harder. It was sort of fun to have her do the fingerings while I tried to make sensible sounds come out of the thing.

French horn has a buttery warmth I love when played well. Sounds the first cry of some newborn hellspawn in the arms of an neophyte.
I think this does not work well for mobile devices. Spacing and the font size is too large. Hence, a lot of screen space is wasted and the user has to scroll more. Larger font sizes on mobile are usually not a good idea as the device tends to be closer to your eyes anyway.

A snippet that could work better in my opinion is the following:

html {
max-width: 70ch;
/* larger spacing on larger screens, very small spacing on tiny screens */
padding: calc(1vmin + .5rem);
/* shorthand for margin-left/margin-right */
margin-inline: auto;
/* fluid sizing: https://frontaid.io/blog/fluid-typography-2d-css-locks-clamp/ */
font-size: clamp(1em, 0.909em + 0.45vmin, 1.25em);
/* use system font stack: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-family */
font-family: system-ui
}

/* increase line-height for everything except headings */
body :not(:is(h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6)) {
line-height: 1.75;
}
The goal with it is to encourage people to move load to coincide with demand. But it’s complicated and changes - during solar peaks the best time to do laundry may be midday but durning wind peaks that could be the middle of the night.

The solution is power storage either at a grid level or at a home level where the information is available to the smart batteries. And/or so much excess solar and wind that we just don’t care.
At some point, if the tech were ever to be used, it would have to be on a public road. And at that point we'd certainly see some bugs that hadn't been exposed on closed course testing.

(Are those cars really 5000 lbs? They seem small for that, but point taken.)
I propose a "this doomsday does not exist" corollary to this project:

- this dark age does not exist (viz. the fall of the Roman empire)

- this ice age does not exist (viz. the host of ice age scares from the late 60's to 80's)

- this apocalypse does not exist (viz. Mayan end of ages, comet scares, ...)

- this world famine does not exist (viz. Paul Ehrlich's entire oeuvre/eschatology)

- this nuclear holocaust does not exist (...yet?)

- this Siberian climate does not exist (viz. the UK going polar around 2020)

- this snow-free UK does not exist (viz. the opposite prediction of the one above, the inspiration for e.g. Marillion's "Seasons End" [1])

- these dead lakes do not exist (viz. the 'acid rain' scare in the 80's-90's)

- this end-of-oil does not exist (viz. "Peak Oil" in 2000, then 2020, then 2010)

- this technological eschaton does not exist (viz. the Y2K scare)

- this rapture does not exist (viz. the countless prophecies of rapture)

- this hockey stick does not exist (viz. most of Al Gore's infamous "An Inconvenient Truth")

In a few years time we'll be able to add 'this climate catastrophe does not exist' to this list while we'll be bombarded with dire predictions on whatever new apocalypse is awaiting us. Which, same as before, will be added to this list while an even newer scare awaits. That is, unless that nuclear holocaust prediction ends up becoming reality of course - time will tell.

I'm really tired of the fear mongering over this. There's been no proof presented to the public that this isn't just some mass psychosis phenomenon. I bet it's more related to stress than anything. CNN really wants the clicks/views though I guess.

Really? Xcode has its issues but it isn't Charles Manson...

Just a cleanup of ~/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData every once in a while seems to keep it ticking over for me.

There was a time when the cache of simulators from every Xcode would build up and eat all you disk space just appearing under the amorphous grey 'System Data' categorisation under the 'About this Mac...' storage tab, but think they might have finally sorted that out.

I do still need to relaunch Xcode every few hours as it struggles with 100s of files open and suddenly I get a keyboard lag or copy paste refusing to work.

I'd definitely like to see something more lightweight for actual code editing, maybe de-coupling the SDK, and providing a decent LSP client that can be used with any language... but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
The value proposition (if I may use that terminology) of mainframes is not performance -- it's 'RAS' (reliability, availability, serviceability). Of course, if you've got a huge legacy codebase of COBOL and CICS, it might be more a matter of 'keeping the lights on' for the business.
By building nuclear power plants and electrifying industry over the last 15 years since the Litvinenko poisoning, etc.

But joining the war this year was crazy given the current situation, Europe is doomed.
Yes.

We see how "well" it goes in France, where they kept nuclear going and now their reactors are rotting away under their butts and they have to import from Germany.

Life in Europe would be better if conservatives wouldn't have failed us and we actually had "green energy" by now...
>Spending that time with dulled senses

What exactly is the fear of dulled senses? What are you gaining by being a bit sharper on Friday night that drinkers are losing? Is anything actually lost?

I'm genuinely curious because most of the time the dulled senses bit is brought up it seems like there's almost always some kind of guilt on behalf of the speaker that causes them to feel uncomfortable with intoxication in a way that others simply don't experience.

I would guess the average casual drinker dismisses the person that is worried about "staying sharp" as being uptight or unnecessarily rigid, because as you said, life is short and who really gives a damn about being 100% cognitive all the time?
What if it was skin-to-skin impacted by an unarmed missile?

I would like to share the following article and hope you will enjoy it.
As GPUs tend to upgrade on a regular basis, it is necessary to know what to do with your old and unused GPUs. If you plan to replace the old ones with new GPUs, you can sell the GPU for cash. By doing so, you can get rid of old stuff. At the same time, it can give you a good number of returns. You can use the money towards upgrading your system. There are many places where you can sell GPUs for cash.
Interesting claims from the lawsuit linked:

"However, instead of allowing the National Transportation Safety Board (“NTSB”), the agency tasked with investigating all domestic aviation incidents, to lead the investigation of the TWA 800 incident, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”)took charge. The FBI also enlisted the assistance of the Central Intelligence Agency(“CIA”). Indeed, the FBI essentially froze the NTSB out of the investigation. The FBI removed all copies (original and duplicates) of Navy radar tapes from the Navy, placing them out of the NTSB’s reach, and refused to allow the NTSB to conduct eyewitness interviews or review the FBI’s records that indicated the true cause of the TWA 800 crash.

Eyewitnesses who were interviewed by the FBI recall being threatened by the organization. For example, one eyewitness recalls being told to keep quiet about the “rocket” she saw in the sky or risk her citizenship application being denied. Despite this, eyewitnesses have consistently maintained that they saw something arcing toward TWA 800 before the plane erupted into flames and fell from the sky. For example, one eyewitness testified that she saw a “rocket go up” and explode, and then saw TWA 800's flaming wreckage fall from the sky. Two other eyewitnesses, Air National Guard pilots, Captain Christian Baur and Major Frederick “Fritz” Meyer, similarly stated that they witnessed events that indicated a missile struck TWA 800. On the day TWA 800 went down, Captain Baur and Major Meyer were flying in a Black Hawk helicopter near the area of the TWA 800 incident. Captain Baur recalled seeing an object with a “rocket type motor "moving quick” toward TWA 800. After the crash, Captain Baur flew to the area and conducted a search and rescue. Captain Baur’s co-pilot, Major Meyer, testified that he recognized a “flak” explosion at the site of the TWA 800 explosion, which is what military anti-air explosives create.

Despite this evidence, the CIA concocted materials to discredit eyewitnesses who could confirm that TWA 800 had been downed by some kind of projectile. These materials included a video and animation that was displayed during a nationally-televised FBI press conference that attempted to reconcile the eyewitness testimony that the plane was struck by a projectile with the U.S. Government’s official position that the crash was caused by a defect in the plane’s center fuel tank.

Despite outwardly proclaiming that the cause of the TWA 800 explosion was, in the CIA’s words, “NOT A MISSILE,” several internal government communications (that have only come to light in the recent FOIA litigation) indicated that a missile was involved."

Obviously these documents are going to be attempting to paint the case in favor of the plaintiff, but seems "strange".
To be literal about it, it's because drinking is the default position, in the UK. The average person drinks. I'm an American and no stranger to drinking, but even for me, living there (in the late 2000s) there seemed to be a greater assumption amongst the people around me (with the huge exception of the many Muslim people) that everyone drank.
Zero direct evidence for the title's claim was provided in the article.

All the Fed is doing is to normalize interest rates. Deeply negative real yields (5% or more) are aberrations that history has shown to ultimately lead to catastrophe.

Yet talking head and Dem Senator alike are treating rate normalization as financial Armageddon.

Somebody tell me how at the very least a 0% real yield on cash is going to kill the economy. Now explain what's normal about that.
I don't really know how it works in the US but I would assume some medical professional will have to give you a diagnosis.
People are saying that states and cities just need to raise wages, but that's not always possible...

>...vicious cycles happen at state/city level. Financial duress ⇨ higher taxes/worse services ⇨ decline in tax base ⇨ financial duress. There’s no solution for this. No one can "fix" Illinois. It’s trapped in its debt.

Where are the anarcho-capitalists when you need them?

Seriously, I would love to see a state or municipality try an explicit move to private sector provisioning of "essential" services as an experiment. Imagine if instead of voting for politicians, you voted for what fraction of city contracts should be assigned to which commercial providers. The space of possible institutions is way underexplored, and the risk from a single failing municipality trying something radically new seems low.
