I agree! When it comes to graphics, just make them look great with current (and not uncommon) hardware. When most gamers have upgraded hardware capable of substantial differences games can keep selling remasters if people care.

I'm fine with nearly all gamers getting a better experience even if that means the tiny fraction of gamers who can and are willing to spend insane amounts of money on the best of all possible video cards are not able to take full advantage of their crazy hardware in most games.
One question for nuclear advocates, as I know it's full on-trend at the moment:

What's to stop adversaries holding countries to ransom using their nucealer facilities?

Just like Russia is playing "games" around the Ukranian nuclear plant?
What's to stop that being used as the new threat? We won't turn your gas off, we'll threaten your nuclear plants?

Genuine question.
You actually can't override a few of the events such as Control-W [1], however that could easily be fixed by using an alternate keybind for the game instead.

This port uses a proxy for networking, as the main game uses UDP-based networking [2]. Perhaps it would be possible to upstream basic WebSocket/WebRTC packet-wrapping support to the servers in the main Minetest project?

I am also curious about the storage issues.

That’s BS. For several reasons.

1) grid connections fail sometimes. Do you want people freezing to death in NY when the Texas interconnect goes down for a day or two, or vice versa?

2) regional storms (Florida hurricanes, NY ice storms, etc), periodically take out large swathes of grid and would take out grid interconnections too.

Currently, the scope of the impact of these things is quite limited because everyone also has regional capacity.

But if you’re in a giant storm, you’d be super screwed and the whole region would be blacked out for awhile, because renewables also are impacted by these storms - far more than a gas turbine, for instance.

And that’s not even counting demand spikes and the like due to weather issues (longer than usual hot or cold, etc.)
I think that's two ways to say the same thing.

Users can still install Chrome on a Macintosh. Apple's larger concern is probably whether they'll lose hardware share if, say, Reddit doesn't load right on MacBooks (you'd be surprised how many people buy an expensive machine as basically an internet appliance) or, more importantly: iPhones.

Back when I was stuck with Windows (and also not the biggest fan of Notepad++) I used Gedit2 which I carried over when I started using Linux. It had syntax highlighting, plugins, a file browser. It was great!

There was some version where they absolutely neutered it (I think it was Gedit3) and I haven't looked at it since but maybe they've re-added the lost functionality (though I doubt it.)
It’s affecting me pretty bad.

There are a few root causes: telemedicine rapidly increasing prescriptions, the mentioned Teva production issues. But one of the main problems is that the DEA tries to project the amount of adderall that’s allowed to be made/imported per year, which makes it so companies can’t quickly scale up production or hold inventories to smooth over supply issues.

IMO, the DEA should not have any input whatsoever in how much of a medicine can be produced or imported per year. Why should people who need medicine suffer just in case someone else might abuse it?

It’s hard enough as it is to manage these prescriptions because of them being controlled substances. Now it’s 10x harder because I have to play middle man between pharmacy and physician (if they only have 15mg XR in stock I can’t just get that filled to replace my 15mg IR without resending a prescription - by the time my physician sends something over they might be out of stock of that dose already) and pound pavement to find pharmacies with stock at all. Plus you have to deal with all the pharmacy staff that’s pissed at all the other people in the same boat calling in to try to get their prescriptions filled, on top of the regular baseline judgment against people with controlled substance prescriptions
Dunkelflaute is 0.5% - 1.5% of the year and most of the events last shorter than 24h

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkelflaute

in my book 98.5% easily fits the bill of "close to 100%"

so the answer is exactly what we do today: have a reserve capacity. part of that may even be traditional peaker power plants that remain turned off most of the year just like today.

I'd be curious about climate data on the distribution of Dunkelflaute duration, by region.

Nothing with fisheries is simple.

Also, a lot of people are comparing this to the Canadian DFO's handling of the Cod fishery. Sorry, this is not like that. Both in time line and management style. This fishery was just shut down, it's had its numbers slashed previously as well. In the Cod situation they had their foot in the accelerator until the very end.
I would imagine in the US the best parallels or examples would involve corporations or para-government entities (like political parties) leveraging organized crime to fight labor movements or civil rights movements.

When heads don't match bodies
The thing about experiences/qualia is that they aren't just subjective, but momentary. Any sense of permanence, continuing identity or indeed of experiences being "about" something in particular is ultimately linked to our memory, which is not part of the "hard problem" itself; it fits solidly within the structure of causal relations we usually call "reality", or just "the physical universe". So the hard problem is hard, but it's also very tightly constrained; it "only" has to explain tiny fragments of subjective experience that float in and out of existence.
The single most reliable feature of all right-wing parties is that they are against state subsidies unless the subsidies are directed into their own pockets.

Heh, that guy even made his way into Judaism! Since Judaism is the closest surviving descendant of the ancient Canaanite religion (and the language we call "Hebrew" is simply a Canaanite dialect, mutually intelligible with the other Canaanite dialects that have since died out). We merged him into Yahweh, the original god of Judea; others were merged in too, e.g. El's original consort Asherah became the "Shekhinah" (feminine presence of Yahweh) and also "Shabbat Ha'malka" (the vaguely-mystical but uh, totally not a deity, yup, uh-huh, figure called the "Queen of the Sabbath").

It is policy in the US. There are a number of simple policy changes that would make money laundering much harder for most. Start with anonymous corporation ownership.

Or you could get serious and enforce already existing AML laws against large banks. Of course then a lot of people who actually matter would be in trouble, and more would have to pay taxes, and we can't have that, now can we?

Ancient Astronaut theorists say yes.
If the characters were "self-sacrificing" in their actions, they were, by definition, acting against their own self interest, in conflict with every long-winded ideological monologue in the book. Skipping directly to the "fuck off into the mountains to pass gold around in their utopian rich person land" would have been more in their own interest.

No, their actions were taken out of self-interested spite. It was not enough to leave society, they needed to harm it on the way out.

Well function pointers are actually an interesting case, function pointers should always refer to the program memory and thus aren't ambiguous. Things like string literals are a problem though, you want them to be in the read-only program memory but most functions just take a `const char ` and have no way of indicating where the string is stored. And on the other side, if you _do_ opt to provide this information on every `const char ` that creates a whole lot of overhead to actually reading the contents of the string.

> we'll pay anyone to take this power before the grid blows up

that's not how that works.

also:

Dunkelflaute is 0.5% - 1.5% per year and only very rarely for longer than 24h. peaker power plants are turned off most of the time today and a combination of those and decentralized battery storage will easily buffer Dunkelflaute in Germany.

In fact, many believe that storage as hydrogen shows promise. There are many test plants for this right now in areas with a lot of wind and connection to the national gas grid.

The idea is that the hydrogen can then be used in existing gas power plants.
Ok, I'll bite.

What type of utility scale storage isn't a battery? The answer is, of course: any energy storage setup is a battery[1].

A more generous interpretation of your comment is that you meant won't be chemical batteries.

In which case, I'll bite: what then?

1. Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time[1] to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_storage
I think it's more accurate to say, "If X were easy, then everyone would be doing it." Put another way, "What everyone one is doing is the easy stuff, what's left is the hard stuff." As an entrepreneur / start-up, where you are on that hardness spectrum determines your risk v reward.

Yes, it's parsing words but the truth is nothing is - is not - supposed to be hard.

This doesn't seem to be the case here as most of the "value add" is occurring in the US.

The funny thing about a country like Sweden is that their energy problem is 100% based on energy exports to the EU market. Sweden produces way more electricity than it needs at any given time. During one of the latest “crises” a single company exported energy worth several hundreds of millions Euros to other countries.
Yes, agents do minimal due diligence on the origins of cash. As long as buyer and seller are happy to make a deal, agents get paid and everyone gets what they want.

A friend of mine who is an interior designer in an affluent area has received calls from clients that go like this:

1. A Chinese couple showed up at their door with a suitcase of cash in the middle of the day offering to buy their house, on the spot. The cash value was about 2x the value of the home.

2. The client declined. They _just_ remodeled, why leave?

3. The Chinese couple gets upset, not understanding why paying 2x for a home on the spot isn't a sweet deal. They leave to go find someone else willing to take the cash to move out ASAP.
But how useful would a mechanical general-purpose digital computer have been?

Even if a competent project manager had been in charge, steam-driven mechanical computers would have been extremely expensive, physically large, and very slow. Most of the time, I’d expect special-purpose devices would have been more cost-effective.

The technologies to build electronic computers didn’t exist for another half-century at least.
CPython uses function pointers heavily, although not for vtables, but hash tables (since almost everything in Python is a hash table). I don't know about V8 and JVM, but even if they managed to avoid function pointers, they still rely on JIT compilation, which is as problematic for non-von Neumann architectures, if not worse.

I should've phrased things differently not to imply that all of them use vtables - vtables was just the first example that popped to my mind.
Energy demand will not increase in the next decade. It will, instead, fall, as it has in recent years.

Electricity demand will increase as that takes over for other energy uses that will be collapsing.
Depending on what you deem to be a suitable replacement i'd recommend:

nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim // integrates well with code actions and searching (very extensible in general, similar to ctrl-p)
hrsh7th/nvim-cmp
hrsh7th/cmp-nvim-lsp // for language server completion
neovim/nvim-lspconfig // a bunch of language server specific stuff

note, that you'll probably need a bit of time to configure it to your liking and that nvim doesn't install the language server by itself, so that is something that you need to take care of by yourself as well.

If you want to see what a preconfigured IDE-replacement might look like you can take a look at lunarvim(but beware, it misbehaves on windows quite a bit, you're better of with a linux system here)

Your info is sorely out of date. Modern solar panels can operate in cloudy conditions. And they operate better when they are cool. The UK is installing solar all over the place. Solar panels operate on daylight, not direct sunlight.

Cleve Hill solar farm in the UK was approved in 2020 and will generate 350MW. The idea that solar is only feasible is sunny climates is frankly absurd.
Using Firefox definitely supports the existence of a free browser. Loss of market share is the #1 threat to the continued existence of a free browser. Beyond the obvious (if a tree falls in a forest, crushing the last copy of the code for a browser that has zero users, then was it a browser at all?):

lower market share =>
nobody testing against the free browser or fixing site breakage =>
quirks (bugs, underdefined specifications, nonstandard features) of other browsers becoming required for a functional Web =>
free browser is no longer a browser of the actual Web.
In fairness NTFS does usually make fragmentation a non issue away from pathological cases¹, much like ext2/3/4² which didn't have defrag tools³ for a long time either.

FAT12/FAT16/FAT32's earliest-free-block-no-matter-what allocation method⁴ trained people to believe that fragmentation is a universally rampant problem, but with a better designed allocation strategy it really isn't.

----

[1] for instance simultaneously growing files on near-full volumes

[2] more so ext4 with delayed allocation turned on

[3] at least not ones without attendant "are you really sure you want to use this on data you care about?" warnings

Let's say you sell a house for $1MM on paper where in reality you've accepted 2MM more in cash.

There's not much the government can do, but you now have 2MM in cash that you need to hide. The buyer knows you have 2MM, and who knows who they'll tell about it.

Now, if you accepted cash for the full value of the house and deposited it in a bank, then yes, the bank reports it for you, and the IRS - if it is a priority - would look into it.

The IRS got a massive funding boost recently. Let's see how they use the money in the next little while.
A wonderful and a spectacular display of collusion from the state and a board member of a large pharmaceutical giant to target and purposefully ban someone for being skeptical of the vaccine.

> I filed a federal lawsuit over the ban against Twitter in San Francisco in December. In July Twitter settled the suit, restored my account, and admitted it had been wrong to suspend me.

So even Twitter knew they were wrong in their judgement to censor him, but with the intervention of the state and an external corporate board member, and looking at the emails in the lawsuit tells us that they pressed and forced Twitter to ban him for vague reasons again.

So one is not allowed to criticize them even if they are making billions off of it? That and the censorship collusion happening here, is not a 'conspiracy theory'.

How did this situation even arise?

I'm not suggesting this is your fault, but why didn't you ask for the process before your boss left if you weren't clear?

If I were to guess, I suspect this update is either not as important as you think it is - hence the lack of process or guidance from your boss. If it really is as important as you think then this isn't your fault. Your boss has responsibility to ensure there are processes in place to ensure this kind of stuff doesn't happen... If a junior dev is working under me and they merge some crappy code that blows up then that's my fault for not reviewing the code and it's also my problem to fix.

All you can do is your best. Send an email to your boss to confirm if you understand the process. If you don't hear back from him then ask around and see if anyone else can help you. Like I say, you can only do your best. If that's not good enough then that's not your problem.

There's no reason to dedicated domestic PRC resources to crackdown (technically) legal cancer drug manufacturers to subsidize US/DEA war on drugs. Priority is to crack down domestic drug trafficing in PRC / golden triangle. The entire reason synthesis moved to Mexico with PRC precursors was because past US admins politically pressured PRC to do something about it. Like if PRC wanted to be politically belligerant, they'd start exporting directly again.
