It's absurd because Californian's aren't really a nationality in the way the British or French are. People talk about red states and blue states, but that's just the mix of rural/surburban/urban people in the state. Rural Californians are much more in common with rural Texans than with Los Angelenos.

There is more cultural variance within just Spain than the entirety of the USA. We truly are one people.

Ironically, calling for a USA that is just an common defense alliance with open trade borders is pretty much what conservatives want. They'll be happy to cut taxes, and let California experiment with what it wants.
From the sound of your post, you seem to enjoy the ever increasing set of responsibilities tacked onto the "fullstack" title. Many do not. Especially because pay does not seem to increase at the rate new responsibilities are added. But if you enjoy making your boss richer for no increased pay, have at it.

It may surprise you, but I do all the things I described for my own company and I keep all the money I make from it. I would never expect someone I hired as a developer to do everything I do, for likely peanuts compared to what I make. But I guess this is how some devs want to be treated. More responsibility isn't always a good thing.
Most people would consider not burning their eye socket and possibly brain an extremely compelling reason. Heating an entire 7-cc titanium ball from 37° to the 44° necessary to start causing burn damage would take about 30 joules: 500 mW for a minute, for example. If the heat source is close to the surface of the eyeball (on the inside) you would need less energy because only a part of the eyeball is reaching burning temperatures, maybe as little as a joule. If the ball is almost entirely full of water and properly insulated, you could probably handle hundreds of joules before it started to burn you through the teflon or whatever. A hundred joules is a 3.7 volt Li-ion battery with 7.5 milliamp hours of capacity, so this is a practical amount of energy to put inside your eye socket.

Apple bought and shutdown NextVR, which was doing most of the sports broadcasting in VR. So sadly for the moment, we don't really know what the state of the art is in that area.

That aside, any kind of large event is extremely problematic in VR, as the resolution just isn't there. Everything a couple of meters away just turns into a blur. So looking at a far away event just feels like looking at a 240p video. It's really not a good experience.

To further complicate the effort, you can't just move the camera closer either, such events are made to be looked at from far away. If you go up close, any kind of choreography in a concert will look weird and a sports event without a good view of the playfield wouldn't be great either.

There might be ways to work around that, by leaving camera choice to the user, use of multiple screens, virtual binoculars or whatever. But it's far from a straight forward process. Meta themselves still hasn't even managed to properly broadcast their own conferences in a VR format, it's all still just flat 2D videos.

When the action happens closer to the camera things get much easier, something like a boxing match with VR180-3D cameras in the corners might work well enough. Can't point to any real examples, but here is a fictional one[1] of how a fight might look in VR.

I share your review 1000x. I pretty much exclusively read PDFs, mostly OCRd but sometimes not. reMarkable is the only ereader I’ve ever found usable. I do agree that the subscription model feels tacked on, but there’s good tooling otherwise (I don’t use the cloud service myself). I highly recommend it as an ereader if you want one predominantly for research, actively taking notes on your documents at home and on-the-go while wanting to sync that with your PC note apparatus.
"U.S. oil production is almost 12 million barrels per day. By the end of this year, it will be up by about one million barrels per day compared to when President Biden took office, and it is on track to reach a new annual high in 2023. However, a number of industry participants have suggested that, even with today’s high prices, they are concerned about investing in production when prices could fall in the future.

The Administration is announcing its intent to use SPR repurchases to add to global crude oil demand at times when the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil is at or below about $67 to $72 per barrel. This will protect taxpayer interests because the SPR will be repurchasing at a lower price than recent sales, potentially allowing it to repurchase more oil than it released with sale proceeds. It will also help address producer concerns about uncertain demand in future years, encouraging immediate investment."

> While I'm wishing, I've always wished they'd separate classical music into its own app too...

For what it's worth, a lot of Spotify's customers agree with you and have made third-party apps that try to do this. (I only know they exist but not how good they are since classical music is not my thing. But I kind of understand where classical music fans are coming from since a lot of electronic music, especially earlier works, is "mangled" in the same way.)

The two I know off the top of my head are Concertmaster and Tempso, if that helps.
Didn’t carbon we’ve carelessly dumped in the atmosphere start as ocean life that sunk to the bottom, can’t we turbo charge that cycle?
I used Obsidian's Daily Note Core Plugin in conjunction with the Templater Community Plugin. It creates a new markdown file in .../DailyLog/YYYY/MM/DD.md using a template that automatically adds some assorted frontmatter (like current company name or project) and a full date (Thursday, October 27th, 2022) as the H1 header. Then I just use the file to keep random notes or as a scratch pad. I don't enforce any organization, so sometimes it's just a SQL query that I had to run 35 times that day, sometimes it's a todo list, and other times is a full narrative log of my day and the issues I was running into.

I used to do this in Sublime, which was fine, but Obsidian let me automate the date and frontmatter stuff, which made my life marginally easier. The point though, is that Obsidian is not something I'm locked into, which is nice.
> But on the other side of that coin its alot easier in python to do a complex regular expression (maybe depending on a command line argument) on one of those, using the result in an HTTP request via the `requests` module, packing the results into a digram rendered in PNG and sending it via email.

Doesn't sound so bad. A quick argument parser, a call out to grep or sed, pipe to curl, then to graphviz I guess (I don't really know much about image generation tools though), then compose the mail with a heredoc and run sendmail. Sounds like 10 to 15 lines for a quick and dirty solution.
I think the article is misleading. The spot price is about supply and demand over an extremely short time period and has dipped below zero because at the moment gas storage in europe is very full, so if you've got a load of natural gas to sell no one is buying because there's nowhere to put it. This is probably related to unseasonably warm temperatures in Europe at the moment, so people are using less gas than expected to heat their homes.

The high prices you pay as a homeowner are to do with high expected demand over to winter relative to the available supply, because the supply has been seriously reduced due to the war in Ukraine.
Stimulus checks were what $2000 total. That's less than 10% on a new car and most competent banks look at your monthly payment and DTI to determine how much to loan.

> A recession is bad for the party in power and a lot of the economic catastrophe drumbeat started around the time early polls opened up.

They've moved from economy to gas and the polls are now on crime. Really anything to stir up FUD.
While you're not wrong, doing this in the last 10 years either had you leaving a ton of money on the table, or diversifying into a highly correlated tech stock / tech driven fund.
Ok but Linux is not a company. They don’t understand that coders are people and have a variety of interests.

They want to pursue such interests via FIRE so Linux would have never worked.

DEC and IBM could have been the ones
Interesting, I was in my early 20s, and was not aware. Or maybe $15/month seemed like a lot back then.

I just remember mobile companies charging nickel and diming for everything extra, so I never bothered to try and use anything that was not phone calls/SMS since those had been made unlimited and included in cheaper mobile plans.

That's sacrificed by growth of agriculture and resource outtake anyway. We need to ensure we make the best out of it when we terraform this place.

Unfortunately, that's the scale of our civilization, the status quo is more destruction of ecosystems.

In some cases we need to make sure we take the last bad decisions, otherwise someone else will take worse ones.
> We need storage and pumped storage is the only practical way to get there with current supply chains and technology.

This really cannot be enphasised enough - this is the only game in town. The solutions are needed yesterday, and must be built on a massive scale - there is no time for a 20 year R&D to production cycle of a miracle technology. Only hydro does not require any new minerals and mining.

The only other container that is even worth mentioning is conpressed gas, but it seems to have neither the capacity nor the efficiency of a large hydro deployment
It doesn't change during they day, it only changes when the government approves price increases. I guess variable means a different thing in the UK. Do you have peak and off-peak prices?
The worst thing is if anything riding a bicycle is shunned while driving a car is accepted!
There are plenty of places we could make hydro power tomorrow if we weren't concerned with displacing people.
If I had to guess they are running the WRF model [1][2]. The AI part is post-processing the model output. With a fair amount of reading the manual anybody can run their own WRF. WRF scales from running on a laptop to supercomputers with 1000s of cores.

>Think about it, even the amazing open world games like Zelda will be nigh inaccessible in a VR world where you have to actually climb.

Even if climbing is an challenge insurmountable then you'd just make games with out it. Elevation changes could be handled by predefined paths.

>Yes, you can get some sweeping visuals where you can turn your head to see the landscape, but a large TV already goes a long way to getting that, with much much better controls for the movement

I think you're way underselling the impact of VR. It's a massive upgrade and a different level of immersion. You don't see people face planting trying to jump off a building when it's a TV.

Plus those stationary treadmill things look cool as shit. If you get that working plus the headset it's really something. Even just taking an evening walk through Paris/Tokyo/the Himalayas would be bonkers if all the technology comes together.
By news they mean users who film themselves talking about news topics in a particular way that is adapted to the platform

There is a particular "informational" style that these users adopt for these videos that is increasingly popular as a Zoomer-friendly news source. Of course, in practice the content often has the same informational quality as rumors or bar discussions shared among friends, because that's exactly what it is just with a parasocial instead of a social relationship.

Essentially instead of consuming news directly, they get a curated, (in both a positive and negative sense) orally-transmitted version of it from a source they find enjoyable to listen to in general

Copying my answer from another comment:

However it would be equally false to believe that the only useful data point come from future market.

Every market that enable trade gambling is bound to be volatile and sometimes disconnected from reality. Gamblers that manage to to accurately estimate this delta are the winning one.

PS: Actually that's how you end up with negative price, a gambler acquired a huge quantity of gaz in the future market hoping to sell it even higher on the daily market. Nice weather daily market drop. He end up selling negative because he's just a gambler living in NYC and he don't have any usage for the gaz he own in a ship ready to deliver in the European northern sea. So he is ready to pay to get away of this deal and soon enough he is ready for his next sad gamble...

I have Oculus glasses but I don't use them. I have a 43" 4K Smart TV I use as a monitor that I got for $300 and it is gorgeous to look at. The colors are vivid, the resolution is superfine.

You can achieve that steady grid by over-building wind+solar, interconnecting larger areas of grid, as that naturally smooths out the variability as the system gets larger and more diverse, and adding storage. Storage is not quite there yet, cost efficiency wise, but it's less of a stretch to believe it can get there, than it is to believe nuclear can be made cost competitive.
The main thing USB-C and Lightning have going for them, which Micro-B doesn't, is the redundancy of two connection pads.

I've had more than one female Lightning port start to get tetchy about which direction a cable goes in.

All I'll miss from Lightning is being able to clean the port with a toothpick. Then again, that's not a small thing. When I hear/feel a bit of grit in a USB-C port I get a sinking feeling, with Lightning I just reach for a dental pick.

hydro and nuclear need the very same turbine tech, and actually turbine are the most hi-tech part of the game, reactors demand delicate construction and testing, but behind that are not much complex.

Oh, sure, IF you have a vast set of mountains and much water, let's say Norway, developing hydro is obvious. Just a bit more populated countries, let's say Swiss do want both simply because one offer good power for most of the year but not enough safety to relay on and so having two systems is better than one. If you have no suitable areas, let's say Mongolia, and you do not have the tech for nuclear... Than they are both unfashionable.

That's the practical "fashionable" or "unfashionable" part. Anything you can have, is fashionable if gives you something useful, anything who can gives you something useful but you can't have........
That is not exactly true, but they sure made it look that way.

First we (those before-subscription buyers) lost possibility to resell the device with same functionality. Before that they eagerly let switch an email and RM account to new users.

Secondly there was no clear information if free subscription will last. If it was permanent, then why not stating it clearly or replying to tickets about that issue.

Lastly warranty was suddenly limited to one year and users with subscription. If you resigned from subscription but later changed your mind, the warranty was lost anyway. How that even got through their legal team is a mystery to me.

That isn't quite right. What it implies is that debt service is a significant fraction of their margins, which is a subtle but actually quite significant difference.

If a grocery store makes 1% profit on each item it sells, and its debt service cost is 1% of its revenue (making it roughly "1% of its cost") a doubling of debt service cost wipes their margin to zero.
I remember when they would prominently advertise Jordan Peterson right on the home page of their app. No other podcasts, just him over and over again while I've never used their app for anything other than music.

I contacted their support to ask how to remove these advertisements from the product I paid for, and they told me that this was impossible.

Impossible is a strong word, and installing https://github.com/spicetify proved that it was, in fact, possible to remove the ads for podcasts from their product.
If you want FSD to improve then you need to allow experimentation in the real world. That means accepting risk. Our governments have wisely decided to do that and most people don’t seem to be worked up about it.

If you want to ban FSD, then go ahead and vote for a ban. But it’s not realistic to say that FSD is allowed only when it’s perfect — no technology reaches perfection without first passing through a phase of imperfection.
Right, that seems plausible to me. That confirms my impression that Spike fills a completely different niche than Mindstorms, and that the people who would get into programming and/or mechanical engineering through Mindstorms won't through Spike. That's a bit sad IMO.
