See this is the sort of information that they should have posted on the requirements page. Not some arbitrary sized high water mark needing gigs of disk and memory. I'll have to give using Nomad (and Consul) another go next time, and test it on physical hardware to see.

Thanks for the info! and for doing what Hashicorp seemed too busy to do themselves.
> and charge higher rents

Yeah no thanks.
Great to see someone rethinking what running command line programs could look like! Too often the shell or terminal is just replaced with a reimplementation of roughly the same thing.

Warp seems to be the most serious attempt in this direction but takes a more conservative approach and doesn’t reinvent as much.

I can think of a couple of interesting possible variants of a shell such as this:

1) The text grid is probably not necessary for the shell itself to use, so you could have the input box be a normal text editor with mouse support for instance. You could even potentially manage running and completed programs via a more conventional GUI.

2) I often deal with remote machines, it would be nice if the shell had support for running commands on remote machines (reconnecting if the connection is dropped, running the same command over a set of machines, etc)

Great work on this new shell!
They should express their disgust by refunding the money.
Do I just have a really fast computer (I’m using a MacBook Pro)? I’ve never experienced this indexing issue.
There are so many false statements in your post, I don't even know where to start.

The grid absolutely can handle EVs.

The range of modern EVs is totally fine for almost all cases.

The price is an issue, but even in my poor Eastern European country the number of EV exploded this year. Mainly second hand small city cars, but also others.
I completely agree with what you say, but I hardly see it as better now. Big payment services (from traditional banks to PayPal) lock "high-risk" (meaning anyone who has ideas they don't like) customers out of their services completely independent of the justice system and state apparatus.
An intrim update to Copilot could link to where the code as pulled from. Or maybe there's a way for open source devs to add a comment to the code that links to their community/repo. If it was standardised then any data gathering would need to follow the collection rule.

I agree with the article's long term outlook about community and code quality, it is a very long term outlook though. It makes me wonder if humans will actually be writing code.
That's not necessarily true. It sounds like most of the upgrades are about convenience to the power company. Not anything safety related, which is why older properties are exempt.

You also have to remember that it takes a lot of power to be able to change an EV in timely manner. It is easily the number one consumer of energy. Older neighborhoods utilities where never designed to do that.
Bad example. A better example is I am a vendor across the street giving away free books. However, to comply and get a free book I require you to keep the book's bibliography intact.

You don't do this. You get my books, cut out the bibliography, glue all the pages together, and then sell the book as your own.

It is my book and all you did is derive some work from it.

Curation companies have the same problem and there are plenty of high profile lawsuits about it.
no, the property will just burn down in a fiery electrical explosion killing anyone unlucky enough to have been there after the contractor missed the ancient arts necessary to avoid that.

municipalities lack consensus for any other outcome to occur, they are all land fiefdoms.
A better way to solve this problem is to move the world around the origin instead. Just like you had to with OpenGL 1!

Really half-floats are more interesting, saving 50% memory on the GPU for mesh data. You could imagine using half-floats for animations too!

Then we could have the debate about fixed point vs. floating. Why we choose to use a precision that deteriorates with distance is descriptive of our short sightedness in other domains like the economy f.ex. (lets just print money now close to origin and we'll deal with precision problems later, when time moves away from origin)

What you want is fixed point, preferably with integer math so you get deterministic behaviour, even across hardware. Just like float/int arrays both give you CPU-cache and atomic parallelism at the same time, often simplicity is the solution!

In general 64-bit is not interesting at all, so the idea Acorn had with ARM that jumping to 32-bit forever is pretty much proven by now. Even if addressing only jumped to from 26-bit to 32-bit with ARM6.

Which leads me to the next interesting tidbit, when talking 8-bit the C64 had 16-bit addressing.
What? You don't need to model a cow's mind to steer a car around it.

This discussion is so absurd. :)
The same grid that can't handle heat waves without begging people to turn off AC, and even then having rolling blackouts, can handle everyone charging at night or after work at the same time, too?

Almost everyone in the midwest and mountain west considers a 3 hr (one way) drive a normalish weekly or monthly event. Sure, it's not most people, but it's not some tiny outlier.

I'm completely fine with being made a fool of, but I'm going to need more than 'yeah, it can do it.'
I do agree with you that hybrids are way to go but I'm also happy for EV go for it as well. We should be tackling this issue in every way possible, including changing urban landscapes to be more pedestrian/ public transport friendly.
Nah I'm fine with it, because I never go to the website and just use mail clients; I can tolerate you its existence, out of sight out of mind and all that.

Actually I did use the web client one time recently and I literally couldn't find an email I knew I'd just received; my inbox is kept at 0 unread; so in theory it should have been impossible NOT to see it, right? After the initial confusion then annoyance came the realisation and I just went and found my phone to read it on.
Yet another another great product that is falling prey to the newism ideology where change is almost worshipped for its own sake. You see this problem everywhere nowadays from Cinemas to architecture. People have lost the ability to appreciate timeless designs. Another good example of this is the new Apple iPhone 14 pro hole. To many it is better because it is newer. Never mind that the fact that there is actually now a narrow band of useless pixels at the top of the hole and overall contiguous vertical center screen height is reduced.
Huh?

Are you not cooking?

Our stove needs 1kw and our oven has 6kw.

It's not crashing when everyone is cooking why would it crash when everyone is charging?

Also it costs more (energy wise) to make H and then consume it than using the energy itself. This should probably has a relevant cost saving.

Economy of scale will bring much cheaper batteries very soon. Let's say 10-20 years
This discussion in the comments involves a lot of talk about “victimhood”, “narcissism”, “privilege”, etc. without a formal definition of these terms.

A lot of the heat in the discussion would disappear if a common definition of these terms were proposed and agreed to. Even more would disappear if those definitions were measurable in some objective sense. Otherwise I find discussions like this devolve into an unnecessary and unpleasant exercise in semantics and a waste of good photons. It seems like a generational malady.

As a side note, I find it is more rhetorically and psychologically powerful to simply describe a disadvantaged situation you (or someone else) are in, rather than adding “and I’m/they are a victim”. When you add the word “victim”, you leave yourself open to bickering about what a “victim” is and how you/they should respond as such, which is distracting from the main point of effectuating change.

Allowing the reader/listener themselves to complete the thought “wow, you/they really got screwed over” in their own mind takes advantage of their natural psychological need for closure. Since the reader/listener themselves will be making that closure, your/their disadvantaged situation will make a more powerful impact on them and the description would be more likely to lead to positive action.

If you are simply looking for an enabler to help feed your psychological need for being perceived as a victim, well, call yourself a “victim” all you want, and good luck in finding someone to complete that folie à deux.
No wasted space. More colorful. More buttons.

It was more pleasant to look at and provided more useful functionality on the UI.

The modern trend of wasting space and erasing colors is really bad.

The only new feature I like is the "tab" categories (but only on desktop). Though they really botched it because now I'm confused about the difference between categories and labels so I don't use labels anymore. IMO they should have used the existing labels system for that.
Mostly market segmentation. There is a software lock to a certain ratio (of clock speed) to the FP32 performance that varies by the card. For most consumer NVIDIA cards it is locked to 1/24 of FP32 speed to prevent use in professional settings that require FP64 performance. However, some cards, such as the Radeon VII, is only locked to 1/4 of FP32 speed (much faster)
Did it ever occur to you that we actually could revert the atmospheric conditions we produced with those 'nukes' and attached 'atmospheric processors'?

Even after a few decades late into the game?

What is so hard to get about the idea that we actually could modulate the greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere, now that we know that and how they influence our living conditions?

It would even make sense to have something like this in case of the next supervolcano eruption. Call it 'weather control done right', if you like.

Retroactive.

Assuming 'code' is equivalent to UK building regs. This is very onerous.

Eg if the door lintel is made from wood. Does it pass certification to say it can take that weight. To find out if the lintel is even wood requires removing plaster.

What happens if you wanted to tighten the specs on concrete? Are you going to tear down every pre existing concrete building because they can't demonstrate it was made to the new specs.
Theme parks have made queueing a multi-billion dollar business.

I just spent a nightmarish time in Orlando. The theme parks there are insane, and I don't believe I'll ever go back. 2 of my friends and I literally stood in a two and a half hour queue for one ride and it cost us $150 each.

The ride was terrible, and the queue length was constantly being hidden. The companies have no incentive to increase throughput because building extremely long lines is cheaper than building efficient rides.
Sketcy option. $WORK was desperate for some STM32F42x parts and bought a few hundred from shady distributors (at ~20x the price)- the parts did arrive, their markings made sense, and they did even sort-of work (that is- the debug interface responded, the firmware could be loaded, but that was about it- they did not execute code). Also, the unique serial numbers of the chips were ... less than unique.
I’m sorry, It’s impossible to take someone seriously who considers them professional and yet relies on clicking (!) icons for their workflow in IDE.

Not necessarily, but it doesn’t solve the problem - if you calculate MVP on the CPU with double float precision, when you pass the final matrix to the shader, it will be cast down to single float precision, and cause the issue described.
Anecdotal rant but I believe it is generally true.

I am 42 and until 3 years back I was quite active on Twitter. And I know many many accounts (from different demographies, personally unknown to me), were also quite active back in the day. I gradually stopped using Twitter in 2020. Few days back, I again logged in Twitter as I was bored. I found out, most of the accounts (except for big and famous accounts) I follow have also gone mostly silent. They haven't tweeted in months/years.

Similarly, in my real life, many were quite active on FB. They too have gone silent.

I guess every platform has a generation and growth period attached to it. After a while, these platforms go out of fashion. New generation moves to new platform.

Additionally, these days nobody likes to read. Short videos are the flavor of the season. Facebook killed the long editorials/articles/news pieces. Twitter killed the Facebook length posts. And now short videos/memes have killed everything else.

It was also pretty easy to find and read your email, which it currently is not.

Hydrogen is less energy per volume than gas, it requires pressure vessels rather than tanks, it's stored pressurized in vehicles and stations, it makes materials it contacts brittle, it relies on a manufacturing process that either requires natural gas production or a huge excess of electrical energy, fuel stations are huge capital costs, etc.

I could go on, but it just doesn't make sense to pin hopes on hydrogen.
It loaded quickly and was snappy.
"The grid absolutely can handle EVs."

Maybe yours can.

In California, they were recently asked to not charge cars during certain times of the day because the power system could not support the additional load.

My understanding is that California's grid could have supported the load, they just weren't able to generate the electricity required to do so.

My (very rough) estimate is that somewhere between 1% and 5% of those who enthuse about crypto-currencies are actually interested in the underlying tech. The rest being in it for one of "it's a safe way to do nefarious economy" and/or "it's easy money".

Me? I think the tech is intellectually interesting, but doesn't really scale to the point where it can provide a "world economy". If nothing else, with Proof-of-Work, you need 51% of ALL available computing resources dedicated to maintaining the chain, which is an incredible waste (if you don't have a majority of all available computing power, the chain is vulnerable). With Proof-of-Stake, you need a majority of the economic system dedicated to just maintaining the economic system.

So, intellectually interesting, but practically useless.
Sounds good, but just don't be surprised if this results in more expensive rents, and less affordable housing being built.

While not quite 10 minutes, I'm on a 12 core i7 Dell XPS, I have to switch between half a dozen or so Go projects in a day sometimes and it really can take a couple of minutes each; long enough to be annoying, not long enough to grab a coffee.

Edit: I should say 12-thread, not 12-core, just to be clear on the performance level we're expecting here. It's a 6c/12t i7.

Of course not. IntelliJ is on another level when it comes features, if you really think people use IntelliJ for their UI, you’re deeply mistaken.

As others, I would much prefer they would just shovel this money into fixing bugs. I have simple bugs opened FOR YEARS and they only fix them if there's some backlash, like many people commenting and showing discontent.

Heat stroke at 25c! Is this in 100% humidity?

This is just a classic straw man, because people don’t typically believe that. Or a red herring, because that’s not really the point.

No one here is suggesting that the Soviet Union has a good track record on pollution. People are suggesting that capitalism doesn’t. “Capitalism is the problem” does not imply that the Soviet Union is the solution.

When people say “capitalism is the problem,” they’re often looking towards an ideal — which sometimes exists and sometimes doesn’t — of a better world. That’s not a bad thing. Practically no one would suggest that an authoritarian flavor of communism (ala USSR) is that ideal.
Im just rebuilding my own house from the last century. You as a landlord did not upgrade your eletrical system and the current one is probably held together by straws ;)

The title should be "what? You do really need a pesky netural wire for EV charging, who knew"?
They don’t because (in places like California at least) their property taxes go up if they do any significant upgrades

This is simply not practical out side of large urban areas in the US. Not only is distance a factor but also weather. No one is going to be riding an Ebike in 10° winter weather, and a lot of people commute 60+ miles a day.

Not to mention that public transportation in a lot of areas can be... Let's just say perceived as unsafe.

Hydrogen (by itself) is as clean as it can be. The byproduct is water.

Being native has nothing to do with performance. XCode is native, and it is easily one of the slowest, dog shit IDEs you can think of.
Thanks, I just tried it and I can see they have now daily/hourly forecast (though hourly is every 3 hours and not exactly by hours unless you pay extra), I think they didn't have it when I tried it last time, also the comparison page is interesting.

Shame it seems you can't hide that animated screen completely since I don't really care about it, just wanna simple forecast + have radar in other app.

Btw. Weawow has also forecast comparison with easy access, after setting up the app/city you just need to open the app and tap on data source in bottom of screen which opens comparison screen with various data sources and their forecasts. Easier to read than Windy comparison.
Don't confuse what you want with what the law says

"Your work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device" [https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-general.html]

A copy is made whenever that text is displayed, e.g., in GitHub's UI. Even that copy is subject to copyright.

Is there an excuse/exception? In this case, there is no "fair use" exception, because exceptions have to be litigated case-by-case to be recognized, and there are no remotely similar situations. Don't forget: Lexis is a multi-billion-dollar business built on protecting the copyright to the page numbers in the otherwise public court opinions.

Does the law actually protect people if it's too costly to enforce? Not really; hence the blase attitude. Congress is considering a "small claims" system for copyright, to remedy the big-firm bias. [https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92appm.html]

In the ML era, data is the new gold. Many, many firms nowadays get a good chunk of their revenues from selling their private view of "public" data: Facebook, LinkedIn, credit reporting companies, ADP, etc. Microsoft has gone all-in on stealing that gold from open-source developers.

It's not just that the code replication reduces any need to get the code from the source. But removing any link to the source destroys the value most-commonly sought in open-source software: recognition.

Salaries are the biggest expense of tech companies. They do everything they can to increase labor competition and reduce reputational rents: outsource, cross-train, promote open-source (for competition) and destroy any reputation networks or systems that justify higher rates. And, of course, standardize on containerized copy-paste or AI-generated software if they can.

So, no: copilot is not legal, it's socially and economically destabilizing, and it presents structural challenges to developers.

It's not good, but most will keep using it because although the vast, vast majority of developers are wage laborers, they aspire to be founders. They see it can make code fast, and they'll think it make them better.
IMO it's a usability issue. Instead of scanning the UI for a color+shape, there's only a shape. It's less distinguishable from the other icons, so I'll be slower to find it on the screen.

(Similarly, this also bothers me with the PS5 controller. The triangle, circle, square and X buttons no longer have different colors. This might not be an issue if you're already familiar with the button layout, but I bet it makes it more difficult to learn for somebody that is new to the controller.)

I haven't really used VSCode, so I can't really compare, but as a long time user of JetBrains IDEs I too really enjoy the new interface.

I mostly use keyboard shortcuts and when I don't know the combination, I rely on the Search Anywhere (double shift) and Run Anything (double ctrl) functionalities.

I find the new UI less distracting and the new VCS menu is a nice addition.

I also wonder how much technical debt has accumulated in the previous UI that is being addressed by a refresh.

Keep in mind, if my math is right, CA is at like 6% electric vehicle saturation. So basically multiply that load they claim not to be able to handle by 16.
