Growing up in Detroit under the specter of the police unit STRESS—an acronym for “Stop the Robberies, Enjoy Safe Streets”

...am I the only one heartily sick of propagandistic backronyms? The branding of public policy is a disturbing (and long-running) symptom of institutional capture. This example is particularly totalitarian, inflicting a reminder of STRESS on an entire community.

Of course, the excuse is that 'it's just meant to create stress for the criminals.' We should be looking at outcomes, since intentions are unfalsifiable.
I have never heard the word dime used that way, nor do I see anything in the first few google results about it being used that way.

There was a 60s slang term "drop a dime" which meant to call someone, and nowadays that phrase means to call the cops or to snitch.

What's the probability of such a fund appearing, out of nowhere, for you?

Or what's the probability of creating one in your lifetime, from the bottom? That's what those in debt are thinking, that's what those without a stake in the profits are angry about.
Higher electricity prices at night will hit the poor who will be driving older EVs with degraded batteries. They'll have to charge all night so that they can make your McMuffin at 7am. They will also have to drive from further away because we also can't get a handle on housing prices in this country.

Higher earners live closer to work. In addition to being able to afford the higher nighttime rates, their workplace may also offer charging as a perk. So you see, those with money form their opinions about electricity pricing schemes involving the invisible hand that has already been so kind to them.

> So log errors to stderr, send it to a separate log file, and format it well (use multiple lines).

Oh, for sure. Do never:

- send errors to the same log you send normal activity.

- default into logging things that aren't errors on the error log (make this possible to override if you want, but never the default).

- log the errors there, but the necessary context on stdout so it appears correct on a terminal. (E.g. build tools that print entering into target in stdout; error in stderr; leaving target in stdout)

- try to recover just to show a different error later.

A bit more context and motivation for the post in the introduction would help a lot. Especially given the length of the article.

Currently it tells me it's something to do with "computational quantum mechanics, more specifically, solid state physics", but knowing what the goal is - whether it is to calculate something specific, or just to explore some particular questions in this field - would help set mental context as we dive into the code.

I've tried pushing back on these things, I'm with you in spirit. Almost always the explanation I get: The lawyers say we have to do it. So lawyers do UI/UX design now. In America at least saying "lawyers say so" has the same weight as the tablets Moses carried down the mountain. Fear of running afoul of regulations or getting sued for not showing some dumb "We use cookies" popup trumps common sense.

As for the damned popups announcing "We have dark mode! Try it out!" or "We redesigned [part of web site you never looked at], take a tour now," I agree, just stop.

Well, the author went on to rule out Java and Go because they garbage connected, so I don't think they meant the GIL.
Maybe we should pass some kind of regulation that forces every business to clearly label the ultimate owner of the company. So instead of going to Fred Meyer, it should say "Fred Meyer by Kroger". And let's extend that to all the random brands that litter grocery store shelves trying to look like they came straight from a local farm. Consumers should be reminded that they're just buying factory food in a pretty container.

I'm only kind of kidding.
Yes, that’s pretty much the case! Same here, Perforce has advantages for binaries, but there is some internal tooling, Python based, which will benefit from Git.
No, they don't actually.
> Also, 8pm? How much time do you spend on commute

Leave work at 5 (hopefully!). Gym/exercise for an hour, commute for 30min, dinner for an hour. That's already 7:30pm. Add in chores or errands or distractions or whatever and 8pm comes quick.

Like yeah, I could start doing microwave dinners or not exercising or replace all my food with Huel like someone actually suggested in the comments here. Or move right next to the office or leave work early. But my god I'm not going to hyper optimize my life in order to maybe see people late on a weekday.

My whole point in this entire thread is that I socialize during work. At lunch, during breaks, between meetings, etc. Time I would have not been working anyway (because I'm not a robot). This is what people have been doing forever just fine.
I worked at a hybrid shop that had main MySQL and MongoDB databases on bare metal rented servers and all the new extra features/services built in AWS. It was a pretty good split. We did have some human cost in handling hardware failures and scaling of the hardware but it was way less than cloud hosting for that much CPU and RAM would have been as well as access to higher performance machines. I'm glad that most of the infrastructure handling scripts in Ansible and Chef were made before I got there and only had to make a few new specialized ones.
The story is probably fiction

I can believe it is real, if possibly embellished or simplified. Crazy things happen in larger organizations, especially before every department's computers were all tied together.

I was once the subject of a dispute between three departments in a large company, and ended up spending several months at work with nothing to do but browse lolcats. I had to put on a suit and come to the office every day, but I was prohibited from doing any work.

I was NOT popular among the people who knew that I was collecting a paycheck all that time.

Aldi is like a fifth of the size of traditional grocery stores. The smaller size is largely the point. "We may not have the same selection, but we have what you need and you can get in and out in 10 minutes." They probably didn't want that space.
No, I was thinking in terms that the pillars are glowing and illuminating themselves, which would be really coincidence to have this luminescence only on areas that would look like a shadow or not.

It turns out that for my original question, there is actually something illuminating it from the top-right. As massive as the pillars are, they are part of a yet bigger structure [0] and the brightness generated is allowing us to see it with better depth. It's really incomprehensible to grasp how large things can get.

PG&E in California already offers multiple time-of-use pricing options, including one just for EVs.

They still can't keep the lights on during a heat wave because people run their air conditioners and are willing to pay the peak rates to do so. Imagine the same level of demand, but with mass EV adoption on top of it, as well as the state planning to ban gas appliances and shift all the load for cooking and heating onto the grid. That is the future we are headed toward.

Right now, EV ownership is largely restricted to homeowners who can install charging stations. Building more EV charging stations without beefing up the power grid, which will make it more practical for apartment dwellers to own electric cars, will result in even more demand for electricity at all times of the day.

You can tinker with time-of-use rates all you want, but the only real solution is to have a much better power grid.

People talk about EVs putting power back into the grid. Frankly I think that's a pipe dream in the near future. Our power companies are barely competent enough to run the grid without causing forest fires -- they aren't going to be capable of implementing that at the kind of scale that would make a difference anytime soon.

This doesn't apply to House of the Dragon. They've done a great job adapting and expanding upon the source material. It does not feel soulless.

Why get extra memory on an apple tv? What would that storage be used for?

The new Apple TV does have extra features at its higher price point (wired ethernet and matter/thread). But I've never understood why I would care how much storage is in a cloud device.

This is apple acting like a "computer" company (those windows laptops with a long lis of irrelevant stats), which they've elsewhere tried to get away from. What they've instead eliminated is any explanation of why you would care.

I’m really disappointed at the kind of generalizations and misconceptions you’re using here to describe a vast and diverse metropolitan area.

You’re essentially blaming “elements of sin:” it’s all about the crackheads and the crazies.

You’re magnifying a very small portion of the population while diminishing and disrespecting the mostly-normal law-abiding citizens who actually live in LA.

You want to know why LA has drunk drivers and scary bad transit? It’s not because of all of the vague sin of the “city problems” you describe.

It’s at least in part because of LA’s unsustainable car-focused development. (In that respect, Waymo might act as a welcome band-aid, but it’s still a band-aid).

Why are there drunk drivers? Because you can’t walk or take a train/bus to the bar.

Why is transit scary? Because only the truly desperate actually use the barely-useful mass transit in LA, because LA was built for cars.

Why are the crackheads out vandalizing stuff? Maybe because car-focused development exacerbates wealth inequality [1] by encouraging the development of socioeconomically segregated communities, and by gating economic opportunity behind the most expensive form of transportation, requiring everyone to buy and maintain personal vehicles at high rates (at least one vehicle per person). Don’t have your own car? Hope someone can drive you to work! Want to interview for that job? It’s far away, hope you can pay for gas! Disabled? Elderly? Guess you’re not going anywhere!

I briefly read their doc, I think being able to migrate my data from one host to another is really great, but I'm unclear about the concept of repository.

according to the doc, it seems that data stays in repositories. A repository is a user-signed storage, representing all data created by a user.

does that mean, this protocol is only suitable for twitter/blog type of applications?

I'm thinking about forums/BBS/Reddit, on which data (a thread) is not owned by a specific user, but by a forum board?

As far as "one stop shops" go, there are few in the PNW. I'm down in Federal Way, and though we have Fred Meyer and the Walmart Super Center, everything else (Safeway, QFC, Trader Joe's, WinCo, Grocery Outlet, Chefs'tore and possible Amazon Fresh, though I've not been in there yet) are just grocery stores, and Target and Costco (plus what we call "the old WalMart, used primarily as a management training store for WalMart) are big-box stores that also happen to carry food.
> Imagine if every city along the Mississippi river network had a terminal like this.

Alas, just this week the news [1] is that the Mississippi river's water-level has fallen low enough that existing docks and routes are having problems.

I tried Axis around 10 years ago, and yes it was very expensive, $300 for a tiny 802.11b/g-only device when N had already been around for a while was a hard pill to swallow, but I was assured by gstreamer devs that they do in fact use gstreamer itself, write their own firmware, and that they're supposed to be better than the Chinese stuff... however my own experience with them was just as bad if not worse... with all 3 units I purchased. Needless to say I have no desire to try them again.
We rent - unable to buy such an apartment. But yeah it is not in a major EU city only smaller 200k inhabitants but international and well connected.
Yes, it's a type of organization problem, not a work-ethics problem, those with no incentive to work hard may not, a salaried position, with no stock, no voice in the thing you're building, no career track with actual monetary gains, no (edit: paid) overtime, no vacations, all of these can cause people not to do more than they are required, but most of what I can see being tried is "ping pong table for the team", "free pizza day", "don't ~quiet quit~, you mercenary".
Maybe the separate housing is the root of the problem. In more traditional EU societies, grandparents and parents live in the same house. This means one less set of people needs to generate income to pay for housing.
An extract from the video:

> The value of the information technology itself is unproven in the last 20 years. The number of office workers has almost trebled. However, research has failed to find any significant increases in office productivity. Perhaps because it's almost impossible to measure.

> There's still a lot of paper about - an estimated thousand billion sheets a year in America alone. And so many office activities remain largely unaffected by technology because they depend on people talking to colleagues: telephoning, reading, and writing things, going to meetings, even thinking.

> Though not so obvious as it used to be, the traditional office hierarchy still exists. The conflict between the need to control what the staff do, and the need to motivate them by allowing them freedom still remains.

> Perhaps all this high technology is really no closer to creating the perfect office and the scientific management techniques of the 1920s. I suspect the efficiency of an office is really more dependent on the personalities of the people who work there, and how well they all get on with each other.
No. Earth still makes a full rotation in 24 hours, at a fairly constant angular velocity.

The only thing that changes during longer days is the height of the sun over the horizon, not its angle along the surface of the planet.
I'm trying not to be smug, but are you under the assumption that the delivery of physical forms of energy is simple? Distributing, on average, ~1.5B liters of gasoline, with different qualities/chemistries/regions/etc, every day in the US has immense amounts of complexity. Now do that for coal, natural gas, heating oil, etc.

Managing time of day for charging isn't a more complicated problem than any of those.

No, fo the same reasons sun dials still work: The sun rises at a slightly different point on the horizon. The trick even works north of the polar circle where there may be 24h days, as the sun is always in another direction.

The sun moves around, whether it is above or below the horizon, so the trick works regardless of length of time the sun happens to be above the horizon.
