Is that meant to be a rebuttal? You realize that I'm citing data, not even personal opinions?

It's hilarious that the website is called "rational wiki" by the way. Replies like yours are why we must not geo-engineer the earth. The sort of people who insist it's necessary can't handle data and fall back to ad-hominem, so should not be listened to.
Having lots of options usually leads to more complex processes, to try to find the best candidate. It's when you have a position open for 2 months with no submissions that you typically start lowering your bar.
No flying guarantees no accidents. This creates incentives in the wrong direction.

See for example the safety achieved by modern technologies in modern light aircraft designs, and the lack of certification of most of these because of the expense of complying with FAA certification requirements. So the certified fleet has to use existing certified designs from the 60s which have not progressed as much in safety.
Problem is that the only reason we don't push ahead with renewables is that governments would rather use existing infrastructure. They want to amortize sunk construction costs. They don't want to upgrade the grid.

Solar panels now cost just 20 cents a Watt and can convert sun into electricity with about 6 times the efficiency of photosynthesis.

If we make it cheap to punt, then the consequences could truly be dire.
Using Zig in a Visual Effects Pipeline: Jim Price
Yes, that's what X-Windows was created for. The original goal was for terminals connected to large servers, where you'd have the application distributed with the UI on the terminal and the backend running on the remote server.
Reminds me of an post I saw a long time ago about invisibly formatted text elements that "survive" even being copy-pasted into a plain text editor or other basic methods you'd think of removing unwanted markup from a text. Could be interesting in the context of such attacks if anyone happens to remember that post?
I’m not sure why so many things have gotten both fantastically more advanced and much worse at the same time. Reminds me of the “premium mediocre” conundrum a bit.

In this case we can see it’s not the usual suspect (over/efficiency mindset) but maybe there is something much uglier lurking underneath?
Affecting both companies and government bodies even - which should feel less “budget” pressure to be overly efficient in everything?

I don’t know what factors those are. Though they could still be that plus something else (more transparently cultural)?
When someone on the internet says "do not do X" it should be read as "think before you do X."
This is an odd comment on a JEP for introducing more super types.

Parent comment is right: throwing an exception is surprising behavior and the interface’s design breaks the Liskov substitution principle.
It's playful and interesting, a bit like a thesaurus but not nearly as good. Take it with a grain of salt.

I would like to see something similar for semicolons.
I have not seen a mention of the most efficient and controllable method of reflecting solar energy away from the earth: - Ground mounted mirrors, which can be glass or plastic film. They provide a cooler living space underneath and global cooling potential. See MEER.org
The Republican Model and the Crisis of National Liberalism [pdf]
Abstract: This paper evaluates the prospects of a republican alternative to national liberalism. It draws on Max Weber to provide an account of how national liberalism is meant to work. It examines some of the tensions that emerge from this account, and some of the ways liberals and nationalists have tried to deal with these tensions. Ultimately, I argue that both liberalism and nationalism have struggled to go it alone, but both also struggle to go on together. I suggest that the republican alternative is potentially promising, but still faces stiff competition from nationalism. To beat nationalism, the republicans will need to offer citizens a more compelling relationship with the state than the nationalists offer. This will require a substantial expansion of citizenship rights. Because republicans reject the thick, cathartic, intimate relationship nationalism offers, they must provide a set of rights that citizens consider even more valuable, binding them in a thin way to the republican constitution.
Download firefox from the mozilla website instead of using the ubuntu package and this won't happen. Or disable auto upgrades.
Yup. Match it with the database (which is absolutely trivial) that police uses and has entries for stolen vehicles, and hey, you don't need this product at all.

Also in both cases, it would be trivial for any professional thief to swap the plate out with a regular one, or do a quick desoldering to prevent license plate from updating itself.
"People like me" want research into the methods and don't call for not reducing the emissions. Both of this I explicitly said and both are largely ignored by people who are responding.

As to the main point, as sibling has said, at this point regardless of what we do the climate will be anthropogenic (unless you believe people who say we don't influence it much). There is no return to being naive and innocent about it. The notion that there is some privileged way to act "in harmony with nature" is fictitious and purely human cultural psychology. The current mainstream solutions are also based on thinking that we understand some things and can predict what would happen if we do X or Y.

If I wanted to be cheeky I would say we know very well now how to heat the atmosphere if need be, but actually I defer to climatology research and modeling to resolve any of this.

While I think code reviews are great, I think the ideal state is doing them asynchronously post-merge. Enforced pre-merge reviews are a way to hold the change hostage to force a certain quality bar. If there is the experience and trust on the team, you don't need to hold each other hostage. You know the author won't make too much of a mess, you know someone will come around to doing the review soon, getting the benefits of code review, and you know the author will be responsive to feedback and not just dismiss them because they moved on.

Even when you do have pre-merge reviews, some times the culture and tooling can make things slower than they need to be. I saw this at one company:

- Review system sent so many notifications, people ignored them

- It was unclear if a change was relevant for you to review

- When there is communal ownershipg no one owns it. The code review system needs to assign the reviewer from among the team

- it was unclear when you owned reviewing something

- slow CI and not having auto-merge makes people lose track of things. As a last resort consider a two stage CI, fast build of a subset for PR updates, full build on merge.

- people should treat CI as another reviewer and not block on it
The English language has 100,000+ words. Most native speakers know less than 10% of them. You'll probably be less, not more, easily understood, if every time your instinct is to use "very", you replace it with a hyper-specific adjective or adverb. In most cases, all you'll achieve is snobbery.

TL;DR: keep calm and very on.
This may depend on the BIOS version, even on the same motherboard.

I also have the same ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE (bought in Q4 2019), which I use with ECC DIMMs, and I had to enable in BIOS the support for ECC.

In any case, one should always check for such an option in the BIOS, to avoid surprises.

Well the concept of efficiency should be represented, financial responsibility, technological innovation, consumer and general public requirements, and then alongside this working collaboratively with other agencies to create joined-up policy (which involves balance between the needs of both agencies).
"I would disagree from the perspective of manufacturing" as long as we are not at a stage i like to call FaaS (Factory as a Service) we are no there yet. Full automation means self driving trucks unloaded by robots that place raw materials on manufacturing lines which after fully automated processed are packed and loaded into self driving trucks.

Dying here. Is this a meme I’ve missed?
Hmm. Sounds like they suck at even basic technical review, or at least did in 2016.
actually, the website says "very different = distinct". So "it's distinct from what you intended."

Which I actually prefer.
This strikes me as somewhat dismissive. My take is that the concerns raised in 1999 are even more true now. The problems we have with low-quality, bloated websites with questionable content are worse, and the rise of 'software that knows best' is only accelerating. If anything, this seems precient.

> We believe an implementation written entirely in the language it implements has some engineering benefits. The first is that a programmer does not need to know any other language, in order to modify any part of their implementation.

Scheme48 was based on itself as a bootstrap language, with the restriction that only those closures that could be stack allocated were allowed. This restricted Scheme the implementors called Prescheme and it was pretty readable.
I would be interested if there is a correlation between their work performance as a contractor and their secondary contracts.

I would assume there is none too significant, but would be interesting.
I don't know if you've ever noticed that when you're tired, like really tired, doing the most simple tasks feel like moving mountains. They may make you angry, frustrated and annoyed. But you go to bed, wake up the next day and can take on any task. If you think about your current situation as "temporarily being tired", then you know some time later, you'll be feeling better. I use this kind of brain hacks all the time to snap out of spiral thinking. Give it a try.

> I don't know when this war will end and whether they want to nuke the Northern Hemisphere away or not.

I am in a very good place right now and yet I do NOT watch main stream news, regardless of what it is. I have recently started to script away negative content on HN and Twitter as well. So, cut yourself off from news. That alone should lift you up quite a bit.

The world is just fine. It's your fellow human beings who can't pay attention to anything but drama and chaos.

That's the spirit. Also, seek help from pros. Bunch of talking and some drugs can make a world of difference. They are not the cure, but a stepping stone, little push, to help you along the way.

> All of you who want to sound either more "well read", or more native, this website will lead you astray.

I wholeheartedly agree that excessive and unnecessary verbiage can be a tiresome impediment to the clear transmission of ideas.

That being said ‘the more words you know, the more things you can say’ as my old English teacher used to say. A wide vocabulary is particularly useful when addressing complex subjects.
The root was zero IP law. People who invented any new thing(say = a widget stamp) could use it to make widgets all day and sell them. If someone looked in a window and say how to made widget presses = he could also make them. If he open sourced it = showed his neighbours = all know the secret and market saturation ensues. That secret was his ' barrier to entry', anyone else had to do the old hard way.
Romans were famous for this, rich men would kill inventors of new processes to maintain a monopoly. This led to intense secrecy. Look at Newton's famous secrecy, he was only convinced to publish late in life and, along with others, started the learned journal industry that employed the new printing tech to make many at a low cost.
Once an inventor could reveal his secret to employees to make many items AS WELL AS have the original Royal Patent protected fabrication monopoly(later time limited monopolies emerged). Copyright/rant/Disney = another story...
This will sound very familiar to anyone who read Neal Stephenson's Termination Shock. The picture of Pinatubo was too much.
ASRS (https://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/) is how both private and commercial (including ATP) pilots can anonymously and non-punitively share safety or otherwise concerning events.

The goal is data collection to assess and prevent incidents. NASA's intake on the reports are not anonymous, but their public reports are. NASA functions as the filter between pilots and the FAA/NTSB.

The employee neurosis tells you all about it.

Lots of vegan activism - grows animals on farms or trades in that sector.

Pro-Peace and cultural sector activism. Produces weapons.

Greenpeace? Usually chemical dumps or other environment damage.

Virulent Patriotism? Usually exploits cheap labor & conditions abroad.

List goes on.

The more desperate the cooperate souls peddling their convictions to "outside strangers", the more morally rotten the business usually is.

Just a observation.
Yes, I am confused how an intentional intervention is so frowned upon when unintentional interventions are done on a continuous basis: mass deforestation, mass greenhouse emissions, mass oceanic acidification, satellite deorbiting, mass air transit, massive water redistribution projects etc

Maybe the key to not face the scrutiny of non-interventionists is to mask the intervention as an unrelated commercial venture, in which case it should be pretty much good to go.
Do they have similar capabilities?

The gap between humans and just about every other animal, intelligence wise, seems to be so incredibly huge that many of them look to be around the same to us. Animal intelligence is hard to measure of course, but chimpanzees have higher encephalization quotient, form larger group sizes, and seem to have more complex tool usage.
NYTimes and Amazon Prime use 'subscriber hostage tactics'
Given that the issue of Firefox being forced to restart primarily happens on Linux, I doubt Edge is an option for them. Though I have to concur that Edge has one of the most stable and smooth vertical tab implementations around, most of the plugin-based ones are more fully featured but much less reliable.

I think most people forget that when contractor pays itself a dividend, that money comes from the profit which they also pay corporation tax on.
Then it's very much like PAYE. Only difference is that the client does not have to pay Employers NI, which is fine, because they are not an employer.
You are right, but that is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. There is a limit to what can reasonably be expressed in a type system but that doesn't meant we should just give up. Moving a group of methods that just throw a NotImplementedError to a different interface so that you can talk about then seems fairly low effort and high value.

It is! I suppose because of its dubious origin. First attribution seems to be from Mark Vonnegut in The Eden Express. Did you read the book, or where did you learn what it _actually_ refers to?
C/C++ dev here.

Remember that it’s not the language that matters. The underlying programming concepts that you know, thanks to being a C/C++ programmer, are translatable to every other programming language. With the help of a search engine, you’ll realize that you already know how to express yourself in those languages quite proficiently.

Memorizing syntax is not the same as knowing how to program. You already know how to express yourself in all programming languages, now stop gatekeeping yourself and start applying to more jobs than just the ones you’ve been limiting yourself to.
Yes, but: the CHIPS act plans to increase domestic semiconductor manufacturing significantly. In the future, Intel might be able to go fabless with domestic manufacturing partners to satisfy DoD requirements.

“America invented the semiconductor, but today produces about 10 percent of the world’s supply—and none of the most advanced chips. Instead, we rely on East Asia for 75 percent of global production. The CHIPS and Science Act will unlock hundreds of billions more in private sector semiconductor investment across the country, including production essential to national defense and critical sectors.”

Firefox, Chrome, etc. are also huge monoliths: that requires downloading the whole thing when any of the components change.
It's a tradeoff, basically the question is "Will most users need and read all the content or not". Displaying everything at once without making extra querries is best, but not always possible . The frontend is fetching the backend. So it's going to say "Hey, send me all the comments from all the posts from november 2021". If there are 3 it's fine, but if there are like 23,000 of them you can't really load everything at once , that's why we use pagination on the backend. We say "Hey send me results 1 to 25 of the comments from all the posts from November 2021" This way the frontend only displays 25 comments for a quick page load and we hope that it will be enough. To display the other comments either we ask the backend to let us know how many pages of 25 elements there are and we display that amount of pagination element links (pagination), or we simply tell the frontend to ask the next page once we reach the bottom (infinite scroll). Even if displaying all the content is possible, if there are content that only 1% of your users will read you might want to offer faster loading for 99% of users and add a few seconds of loading for the 1%.
"invisibly formatted text elements that "survive" even being copy-pasted into a plain text editor"

Plain text is unformated, so that is not possible to my knowledge.
However, there are some invisible unicode characters

Whith them you might be able to encode hidden data into plain text, but you would have to decode it, to have text again.

In fact, I just upgraded an MFC music application[0] to VS2022 and 64-bit this year, marking the first release in 15 years.

I'm not a Windows developer, and had to learn it while working on this upgrade. The MFC documentation has clearly atrophied, but has far as I can tell, there's also not blessed upgrade path for C++ applications.

> to ignore that the social title and distinction of the person has been affected by their transition to 'convict' status is to ignore a facet of what the prosecution was attempting to achieve for the sake of the victims.

why on earth should that take precedence over everything else?
OK I'm not quite going to say 'snap out of it', but just note that you've at least identified a problem, and are asking for help, even if you're panicking. Maybe unnecessarily, maybe not. Well done.

Here's my 'worse off than me' story though.

I've been unemployed since about 6 months before covid, the company I was at folded. Actually covid was in some sense a blessing because at least everyone else was also stuck at home.

But here's the thing. I haven't applied for a single job since.

My last job was at a very small startup-cum-dev-shop at which I began to feel quite resentful getting a mere salary, as one of the first employees, building out the initial product/service, when the founder was banking significant profits. And simply programming, started to become a real chore, and gradually a challenge, very especially when we introduced scrum and all that 'observable, transparent working' crap which of course only works in one direction, workers are observed, bosses observe. Eventually our only customer cancelled, and everyone was 'let go'.

My tech 'currency' has stagnated in that time, while I've observed the rise of multiple-round algorithm-centered interviews (since when I joined that company ~10 years ago by word of mouth), etc, etc, and the whole scene has put me off even applying for actual jobs, on top of which, even if I were to land a programming job (seriously, when did a mere developer job become something so aspirational?), I'm not sure I can, or even want to do it as a job again, especially the whole scrum, standup, retrospective thing. Though I still love programming itself, and keep doing little projects for myself.

And here's the other thing. I have a bunch of kids, and only about 2 month's savings left. And I'm an oldie, approaching mid 50s.

So, not only are there people worse off than you, some of them have almost entirely self-inflicted their predicament. Imagine how that feels, and cheer up!
A few weeks ago, I read that vertical tabs landed in Brave's nightly, but still behind a flag. So, there seems to be hope.
