I became more productive, although less efficient. Kids really fuck with after-hours efficiency.

There's always the knowledge that if I fail to maintain a job, it is statistically associated with divorce, and that divorce is statistically associated with child support, and that child support is statistically associated with prison and revocation of passport/property/licenses keep me going. If I fail to be productive enough I will be tossed in jail, that wasn't really the case before. But unlike some other people, I lived an exceedingly free (and low-cost) life before children, often just being homeless and hitch-hiking around the country, fighting for foreign militia, spending months living in forest or hiking trails, etc.

Quebec has a lot of rules for contests; advance registration with the government, providing them with a % of the prize value in advance, etc. Probably not worth the paperwork when dealing with them internationally.
>> today solar and wind is cheaper in the western world.

I’m afraid this is only true for the US, let’s not forget almost all of Europe is as north as Canada or north US.

In order to compare the cost we cannot just compare the price to install a certain capacity.
You must also factor in how much extra capacity you need to build.

When we look at the Germany[1], on the best month, their solar produce half of the installed capacity and solar never goes higher than a third.
And that’s for the best month.

Germany has already invested 600 billions, does it need to go 5 five folds ? Maybe less as the costs are decreasing.

It seems like that money invested in nuclear would produced much more and prevent spending what’s starting to look like an entire gdp invested into renewables.

Kennyblanken opens up the fifteen inches of aluminum that is his aging Macintosh Book Pro, produced by a company laughably named after a piece of fruit and formerly headed by a brilliant but somewhat psychopathetic man, now long pushing up the daisies, and taps out the commands to login to his account on the antiquated and increasingly inaccurately named hackernews, bathing in the yellow-orange theme as he stretches across the pale green couch in his small apartment in the big city. Outside, a 2007 Neopolitan Flyer bus roars by, half full with tired commuters.

He expertly massages the worn keys to type out a lengthy and witty response about how he'd imitate the style of a famous novelist whose prose exists mostly to result in the sacrifice of as many innocent trees as possible - demonstrating how to stretch "I'd use Dan Brown's writing style" into nearly two full paragraphs of text.

It's not possible, because monetary policy tends to be a lagging indicator of recessions [1] whereas the stock market is a leading indicator of recessions [2]. Also, there's the problem that dropping the interest rate doesn't mean the Fed will continue to drop it to zero. Similarly increasing the interest rate doesn't mean the Fed will continue to increase it until we hit a recession. The predictive power provided by such a lagging indicator combined with an imperfect correlation means that monetary policy alone isn't enough to time the market.

No, the high voltage was at very low current, just used to put an electrostatic charge on the selenium drum. Fires came from the fuser, where the toner is fused to the paper with heat. Paper jams could cause scorched paper and potentially a fire. Thermal fuses, switching from radiant heat to a hot roller, and lower melting point toner fixed that in laser printers.[1]

russians burned down couple of houses and villages around Belgorod while using S-300 for destroying civilian ground targets in Kharkiv. They have tank companies with some tanks unable to reload or turn the turret. Plenty of recordings from BTRs with jammed turrets/guns. Just a couple of days ago some russian soldier uploaded a video of them shooting rpg-7s without removing shaped charge safety pins. Recruits receiving rusted thru AK47 is a classic.

Consensus is their soviet era weapons are falling apart, and on top of that they dont know how to use them.

Maybe not, but we should shame them for promising the sun and delivering a rock. It's like if Xerox made a fake ad showing a machine that can clone sheep with a button push, but ended up only delivering a new copier with slightly better performance. It's the kind of outright lie that should be unacceptable from any company.

I am genuinely both surprised and fascinated by this. So many industries cite a shortage of people (pilots, truck drivers, doctors, and so on), whereas this shows an increase in the amount of employees in those industries. What is generating all the extra demand? Or were we just more efficient in 2019, getting the same or more done with less? GDP certainly doesn't seem to have risen at the rate of employment which leads me to believe the latter.

If it was rarely needed and only needed for a few hours we wouldn't need all the fossil fuel based generation to fill the gaps.

I'm not aware of any significant battery based storage system deployed at scale that solves this problem. There are some large battery banks but none even close to the scale required. It's a hard problem as it would require a huge increase in global manufacturing.

I'd like to be wrong here. I'd love it if it was possible to build an affordable grid based on 100% renewable generation. It will be possible one day. I look forward to that day.
That's true, but in this era of high quality voice and video calls, it's not that uncommon for someone to want to play a song or even a live instrument, so some capability for handling that intelligently seems important.

Something which AS/400 (now renamed IBM i) has never provided. People who’ve never studied it in detail get led astray by the “object-oriented” marketing hype into thinking it is something like Smalltalk-it ain’t.

Imagine a form of “OO” in which all classes (“object types”) were defined by the OS vendor and end-users or third party developers lacked the power to create new classes, they could only create instances of those defined by the OS vendor. And in which there is no real notion of inheritance-except for adhoc approximations to it, such as “type” fields in certain classes. That’s what “OO” means in OS/400.

I think this isn’t really specific to having children - most people don’t become efficient until they have to. For many people the first time they have had strong enough time constraints is having children, but it might another family responsibility, a big outsidemof work commitment, or even a job or graduate degree in a high performance environment where you face sink or swim.

Not when you are a senior executive for the richest corporation that has ever existed, birthed the iPhone and YOU ARE BEING ACTIVELY RECORDED ON A MOBILE DEVICE.

I sympathize with trying to make a callback you find hilarious and witty, and everyone thinks you are just being a crude dck. This happened to me in high school and a few times I was self-aware enough to recognize after. At no point was I in front of a 4k camera attached to a super-computer and a high-bandwidth connection to the net.

Apple is trying to live in the future, sells luxury devices and has been positioning itself as the Good Place for your digital life. If my man here was so influential, and this was some random event, it'd be handled differently. Instead, he was thrown out the airlock nearly immediately. Clearly this shows that:

He has absolutely been tagged on this before internally, officially or not.
* He is replaceable and they've had a contingency in place for a minute now.

I'm might be wrong, this is speculation (but pretty sound speculation I think).

Even so, you know DAMNED well that when some direct-report(s) brought up concern that "The Blevinator" would be hard to replace, Tim Cook had to suppress a laugh and the urge to ask them to hold his wine.
Think about the following: The transitions from one state to another are triggered by specific events. What happens in the game when such an event occurs during the transition? Unless the event is outright ignored during transitions, the object (character) is in some state which defines how it reacts to that event. Maybe it’s a separate “transitioning” state, or maybe the character is logically already in the target state, even though the transition animation is still playing out.

The bottom line is: States are defined by how the system reacts to events. Insofar as the system always reacts to events in some way, it is always in a specific state.

Honestly I don’t think B2B/B2Gov is all that much more of a viable path for AR than B2C is. It’s certainly not the magic key to success that I’ve seen some point to (usually as “ohh yeah the helmet/goggles/headset is ugly, nerdy, and anti-fashionable, but we will just sell to business and the military who will require their employees to use it.”) AR is really going to need a killer app to take off (or at least light the way and show other’s what is possible.)
I hope when Apple announces their AR glasses they have some really, really good apps and demos to show off along with solid development tools; what I don’t want to see is Tim Cook showing off some MOBA game no one has ever heard of and ending with “…and we can’t wait to see what you do with it.”

Edit: For example, Daqri was one (but far from the only) AR companies that thought B2B was the way. They went out of business in 2019.

I'm trying to understand what exactly is different about debugging async/await vs. debugging threads. Isn't making an async-call the same as starting a new thread, from the programmer's point of view?

In my environment the WebStorm debugger I can debug async-calls in which I have halted in the stack. But I can not inspect the variable-values in the earlier "trace" that started the async-call.

Is it just a matter of debugger capabilities or is there something that makes thread-based debugging fundamentally less confusing?

Ah maybe I get it. When starting an async-call to read a file for instance the value of variables is no longer available in the callback. Whereas in a (real) thread they are, because from my point of view the thread was simply "sleeping" while the IO was happening. When the IO is over I back in the same context except I now have the read file-contents available for my inspection.

So, reading a file in a thread-based system does NOT require you to start a new thread, whereas in async-await you essentially do have to create a new async-context (which is like a new thread) to read a file. No?
Both of these cost money.
I assume the main sell is that you, I and a few of our friends could sit at a table, play a digital table top game while still being able to see and engage visually with each other?
of course the standard allows implementations to "behave during translation or program execution in a documented manner characteristic of the environment" if you do something that is undefined behavior, implementations are literally allowed to do anything they want if you do something that is undefined behavior. the key point is that they are not required to do anything, so what's the point of adding more undefined behavior for this case?
How is this not a transparent attempt to secure user information and conceil it from the usual other suspects?
If you do it nice you have the thermostat so you can twist or slide it and it goes up or down a degree (enough for the heat or AC to turn on) and then your program kicks in 30 later and resets it to where it was. Win-win.

There was some data in files over here, and I needed it in a different format over there. I had a guide to the minicomputer instruction set, a reference for its system calls. After enough errors, the program first assembled, then ran. About then my wife prodded me into taking classes at a local continuing education program.

What drew me to programming was first that it could save a lot of time, second that people would pay me to do it. It was quite a while ago now.
not true. cheating is a HUGE issue in competitive games. call of duty also requires you to validate your phone number and they have a kernel-level anti-cheat called ricochet. games like tarkov are swarmed with chinese cheat accounts and undetectable radar cheats. there are monthly cheat subscription services where you pay hundreds of dollars for access to sophisticated aimbots, etc. counter-strike employs sophisticated frame-by-frame anti-cheat heuristics analyzing shot and input patterns, they have a system in place where good actors can review cases of alleged cheating (called overwatch) AND they ALSO require you to validate your phone number if you want to play comp matches. games like r6 siege and apex legend employ similar systems. stop pretending “cheating is a tiny issue”. either you don’t play competitive games as you claim or you have no idea what you are talking about.
LINQ is a full query language you can left join, right join, inner join limits, etc. It even maps C# functions to Sql functions. If you can express it with SQL, you can express it with LINQ.

Cross language will still be an issue. LINQ isn’t really an “ORM” it is a method to translate C# commands used to work over related collections to expression trees and those expression trees are interpreted/translated at runtime by a provider.

You need support from the language/runtime to treat expression trees as a first class type.
