"Not being able to code" is not black and white. Many can follow basic steps, as long as it gets not too complex. Thus "Low code" tools like Powerautomate,selenium ide, ahk or UIvision are great for people to do test automation. They are a quick way to create an automation. And many users learn/start to code this way.
Which part? :)
Sigh... not in any meaningful way.

The point is this, ads directly fund websites. Without ads those websites do not exist.

Bill boards do not directly fund highways, our taxes do, and those are collected 99.9999999999% from not bill boards.

Yeah, the biggest problems are political, when one country controls the upstream flow. (The same issue comes up between States in the U.S.) Luckily for Smil in Manitoba this isn't an issue.

The bug here was more mundane, that the registration process went like:

1. Choose your individual classes, which reserves a spot for you

2. Click the overall "Finalize your class selection"

3. All validations run, including both things like "are you taking the right number of credits" and "do you meet the prerequisites for each class"

Classes that were restricted to juniors and seniors opened up to everyone if they didn't fill up by the start of the semester. So I chose my classes and didn't finalize until the semester started. Muahaha.

In the modern era this is typically solved via these "your cart will only reserve your items for 15 minutes" type warnings, but back in the olden days when I was an undergrad, that level of technology wasn't widespread yet.

Is this indeed the case, even for smaller, localized dams? Would be interesting to see a comprehensive study on this (if one has been done).

There is an old joke. A client asks an old developer: Can you build me a site in a couple of days? Yeah, sure, he answered. And in a couple of weeks? I have to think about it, but that’s doable, said old man. Okay, but can you build a site in a couple of months? The old man scratched his head and said: Well, I’m afraid for that we’d have to hire a team.

I guess the answer to OP is “a site”?

North American petroleum and developing solar and nuclear resources probably can.
Your comment annoyed me so I started typing a response but then I remembered that you might be a real person with debt who worries about a sick relative, so it’s just not that big a deal.

I think about giving up around 30 almost every day, but am scared I won’t have the courage to do so. More realistically I see my end in the cold on a street saying random things out loud while someone walks by feeling a mixture of discomfort, annoyance and guilt.
Destroying immoral jobs is a societal good.
The whole “actually the terms we’ve used throughout your life aren’t correct and we’re going to pretend there’s nothing unusual about this sudden reversal” is wildly damaging to institutional credibility.

I hold a BS in Econ and even I was shocked by how it was presented to the public. I figured there was a very good chance GDP would rebound for at least a quarter - and the political spin would be “Biden saves America from the Putin recession in record time” or something.

None of those talking heads had a single clue that the “two declining quarters” definition was simply a useful shorthand and yet they all immediately hopped on the exact same script.

Edit: in case it wasn’t clear, I 100% agree that we need more accurate definitions. So much needless harm is being done when the response to edge cases falling outside the colloquial understanding of a term is to quietly change dictionary definitions instead of educating the population.
That's pretty much it. The environmental objections to nuclear fission are in the same genre as objections to hydroelectric dams, but hard to compare. You pay the environmental impact of the dam upfront, in the form of ecosystem disruption by the reservoir. I'm not sure that nuclear fuel mining is worse than building a reservoir in a desert (e.g. Lake Mead), long term, to say nothing of nuclear waste storage/disposal. To be sure, power production by a wind or solar facility is at least proportional to acreage, but either of those don't entirely remove habitat.

This feels more like a hit piece that amounts to "your 'green' energy sources aren't so green, hypocrites". Specifically:

"This ennoblement is strange, given that wind projects require enormous quantities of embodied energy in the form of steel for towers, plastics for blades, and concrete for foundations. The manufacture of solar panels involves the environmental costs from mining, waste disposal, and carbon emissions."

As if the earthworks and concrete of major dams, the steel and plastic of the generation stations didn't count.

The author also ignores the justification for building megastructures on rivers in the western US (or Africa, or China, or ...): they are in deserts, so the flow (and therefore the power generation) are especially sensitive to the natural drought cycle. Build a small dam on a small river, then deal with the consequences of no power when the river runs dry every fall. Or, dam a big river, which requires a big reservoir, and only deal with drought-driven power outages when you hit the 50 or 100 year drought.
> Based on this combination of factors, the available evidence appears to be inconsistent with both historic precedent and the scientific understanding of how natural zoonotic spillovers of respiratory viruses like SARS-CoV-2 occur. Ultimately, without increased transparency and publicly available and reproducible evidence that addresses these missing pieces of evidence, it is difficult to support the natural zoonotic origin hypothesis for the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak and COVID-19 pandemic.
Properly managed hydro should help prevent flooding, which I imagine is incredibly valuable in an area with annual monsoon season. It's not like overflowing reservoirs are adding water to the watershed, it just means they don't yet have the in built capacity or were mismanaged, ie monsoon season arrived without sufficient capacity to absorb it, to prevent the natural flooding that was already occurring.
It is. Apple could have licensed it freely to make it the standard before USB-C existed, but chose to keep it proprietary to milk accessory manufacturers instead.
Ask HN: Why did Apple stop selling network devices?
Yeah, no - I definitely do exclude claims of THE ABSOLUTE, TOTAL, AND COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF CATEGORICALLY EVERYTHING DOWNSTREAM.

Especially given that it's a centuries-old technology, installed upstream of many (perhaps "most"?) things, and yet THE ENTIRE DOWNSTREAM ECOSYSTEM (which, since all streams lead to ABSOLUTE SACRIFICE AND TOTAL DESTRUCTION), is THE ABSOLUTE ANNIHILATION OF EVERY ECOSYSTEM.

Spotify also still doesn't support AirPlay 2, nearly 4.5 years after it was launched: https://www.macrumors.com/2022/01/25/spotify-still-doesnt-su...

I really don't want to switch to Apple Music (it's not a great app either) but I'm really tired of dealing with playback issues due to the lack of buffered AirPlay 2 playback. If you try out a proper AirPlay 2 supporting app like Overcast or Apple Music, it's a dramatically better experience.

I also want nothing to do with Spotify's podcasts or audio books. And their macOS Chromium desktop app has also languished for years.
What is the point though? Is there a single person who changes their mind on the issue of climate change because some lunatic does a bit of pseudo-vandalism?
I would say it's like the panicking homeowners that took variable rate mortgages(business take on a lot of debt to expand) and now their mortgage payments doubled(and also the bank demands extra lump sum payments in addition, because the monthly is only enough to payoff the interest not the principal). Now they need to make x2 of their current salary otherwise they loose the house.
I generally agree - a new tab should, for the most part, be distraction-free.

However, with some cleverness, you can add content to the new tab page that adds value - e.g. AnkiTab (https://github.com/corollari/ankiTab) to help you review your decks. Sure, it's a minor distraction, but it's time-bounded (unlike a news feed), and theoretically it's a net gain if your decks contain knowledge that's genuinely useful to you.
Downstream actually sees benefits from a dam, since the output of the river remains unnaturally constant even during periods of drought.

The immediate upstream from a dam, however, is another story entirely.
It's showtime, Synergy!
You're not imagining things, the originals did indeed snap in. I can remember how the buttons felt on my grody old charger.
then why are we still paying so much for it?
This is the answer, if there were places we could generate a lot of hydro power we already would be.
Seeing people with Bluetooth headphones was a rarity 10 years ago. They existed, yes, but so did smartphones before the iPhone. Some people had them, but the vast majority of the market of headphones or phones didn't care.

By personal media players, I'm talking about MP3 players and iPod-like devices. Essentially post-CD players. They existed, they weren't popular. Even the initial iPod took a while to gain a real market presence.

I'm not an Apple fanboy, but I can definitely acknowledge there were lots of markets which were largely ignored by the mass market until Apple made it cool and easy to use. I had a 3G phone which could do video calls when the iPhone came out, so I definitely understand that Apple isn't usually on the bleeding edge of technology, they're just the ones that often manage to refine it enough to be acceptable by the mass market.
Very cool. I wish there was a 2D "dungeon crawler" map overlay of some kind so I could see where I am and what direction I'm facing as I progress into the structure. I start to lose my bearings.

I was fortunate to go inside the pyramid as a child in 1980 when I was 9. I remember it feeling quite claustrophobic at the time, and I wasn't exactly big. Once inside you quickly lose the scale of the thing (or at least I did).
There are more than 2 markets. The dominating factors change based on market conditions.
You're hitting a wall because you changed your tune from "plumbing/electrical/insulation" to square foot size, and you're being rude. I don't think anyone disagrees that overall prices have gone up in homes that are larger. Where did I say a 950sq ft home goes for the same as a 3000 sq foot one?
Sorry that it irks you but we misunderstood completely.

Never meant new people buying RM. Meant those who suddenly had to decide if they should go with subscription. I'm following several forums/subreddits and to be honest it looks like most people buy on impulse without checking what this device is at all. They think it's eink iPad and can do same things.

Also I hope you don't suggest that RM decided to lower subscription price by 60% and basically bring most functions to people without subscription anyway, because it was a massive commercial success?
If your intrinsic motivation is for your family, you might be able to pull it off. It's a recipe for burnout, but it can be doable. Assuming that the work itself is something you're not intrinsically motivated for.

You'd also be sacrificing a lot with time with your family. Your marriage will get tested. You'll miss out on some things with your kids growing up. If the stress is severe enough that it changes how you would habitually relate to your family (getting crankier, for example), that is the kind of dad you will be remembered by your kids. The question is if on your deathbed, looking back at how it all played out, that the sacrifice was worth it.

I don't think there is a universally right or wrong choice in this. The emotional toll of not having enough to support your family and being in a soul-sucking job is worse.
Sure, it's destructive. But as long as humans continue to consume more energy, there's a need to balance that with the much greater destructive effect of greenhouse gases. It's about the lesser of evils.
IT is a cost center in every business, including software.

It contributes to the ultimate profit in the same way that HR, Legal, and Finance do. Indirectly, in support of the actual revenue-generating functions.
The justification I would give: to get ourselves out of this pickle, it is plausible that we will require skilled thinking. Therefore, pursuing good thinking would make sense, and a component of that would be identifying bad thinking (as demonstration, and also perhaps as something to add to the "To Fix" list).

I continue to believe that the physical science is well beyond "good enough" and that humanity should now be investing in metaphysical inquiry (psychology, sociology, etc), as getting humans coordinated and pulling all in the same direction would be beneficial to sorting this mess and others out.
I find it very hard to believe, they probably either misunderstood the question, or the question asked was more than "do you go to tiktok to check the news?"

If you open tiktok, there is all the content you want but the news

Also what kind of "news" the "researchers" are referring to? does checking about their favorite celebrity/trend count in their definition?

It's dropping for every other social media, so the answer to that probably is:

- americans are not satisfied with the freedom of speech (or perhaps lack of) / quality of the news they find on the official platforms, therefore they are looking elsewhere

And even that, i don't buy it

Dealing with Your Ideas
(The C4 model)[https://c4model.com/] is a nice way to capture (IMO) the most important characteristics of a system, and you can learn it in half an hour. Optionally, you can add state transition and sequence diagrams for selected parts of the code.

One important thing to take in consideration is that diagrams are not blueprints. What they don't represent is as important as what they include. That's why I like C4: it's limited to answer an important but small subset of questions about your system.

Stupid little dams built as make-work are being removed. Hydroelectric dams are not being removed.
Serious denim folks stick them in a freezer to get rid of odor and if washing is absolutely necessary, hand-wash in the bath tub.
Isn't the tax already withheld at the time of vest? I mean sure at some point your tax rate is going to be much higher than the withholding rate so you end up paying extra over it.

Concentration is the real risk. I know many people at Apple and Microsoft whose only investment is their company stock. It has worked out well for them but they're just one big scandal away from disaster.
Truthfully nobody's really heard of the Bangqiao Dam failure. I doubt this contributes to the discourse.

I don't think that's exactly right. I think everyone wants the economy to do well, but most people's ability to gauge the economy is very limited, so they defer to other information sources to tell them how the economy is doing even if they're personally doing fine [0].

If you look at employment over the past 20 years [1], you'll see that Obama took office when the economy was in freefall and after about 9 months the economy turned around and started growing steadily until someone let COVID run wild in the US, at which point the economy fell off a cliff. But the right wing media isn't going to (and never would) say Obama handed Trump a very strong economy and Trump was the first president to oversee a net loss of jobs in over 80 years. The right wing media also won't mention that Trump was all in on making the money printer go brr so that his reelection didn't also have to overcome an explosion of poverty in addition to explosions in death and unemployment. But the right wing media isn't interested it accurately describing reality; it's goal is to secure power for right wing politicians, and to have a shot of doing that in a democracy, right wing media has to conceal the inconvenient facts that show Democrats are actually better stewards of the economy, produce lower rates of violent crime, and are consistently better at delivering improvements to the net and median quality of life of residents of the US.

I have no issue with it business-wise -- if they don't, they'll eventually die because a podcast/audiobook app expands into music.

I just have a major issue with it UX-wise. I wish podcasts and audiobooks were their own separate apps. I've totally given up even trying to understand Spotify's UX anymore. I always eventually manage to play what I want through some combo of scroll/filter/search/history but I just feel like I never know what's going to appear anywhere this time.

And as long as I'm wishing... how about an app just for classical music too! Composer+performer just can't be satisfactorily shoehorned into a single "artist" field no matter how hard you try. Same as tracks aren't works -- a symphony might be anywhere from 3 to 40 tracks. (Keep classical music accessible in the main app for casual listeners, and because the line between classical and pop is blurry in some cases -- but just add a dedicated app designed for classical alone.)
for some definition of the word 'best' - we have plenty of places that would be perfectly suitable other than all the pesky people it would displace. If we really cared about carbon-free energy that would be a solvable problem.
There is a decently objective definition of recession: two consecutive quarters of declining economic output. Most metrics of economic output tend to have high degrees of (positive or negative) correlation: GDP, (un)employment, etc.

The issue is that what you've seen since the pandemic started has been basically insane macroeconomic statistics that defy historical correlations, so whereas the US GDP declined in Q1 and Q2 of this year, there weren't corresponding declines in other statistics (e.g., unemployment stayed low). If half of the economic indicators are signalling "recession" and the other half are signalling "rip-roaring growth", any definition that pigeon-holes the economy into one or the other is likely a bad definition.

Yep, and I really wish they'd stop promoting absolute turds like Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson at me. I have no interest in listening to them.
