Witcher 1 was pretty niche but I played it as a 15 year old rpg fan and liked it a lot. It wasn't as well known mainstream as mass effect but most gamers surely at least heard of it.

Right, that's exactly what I'm saying. They're NOT optional in any of those languages. Some of them (Kotlin and Go) don't have them, but there is no argument.

Only if you are willfully blind. Between crazy heat waves in Europe, the mass die off snowcrabs, unprecedented forest fires and flooding, unending droughts, various Arctic parts not fully freezing, disappearing glaciers etc. etc. it honestly feels like a week doesn't go by where something climate related isn't in the news. Gluing one's self to famous painting isn't going to convince the people who are already ignoring the real stories.
My issue is that any external links to my channel now no longer works. Luckily I can update some of the links, but I can't do that with tweets.

Pumped hydro is burning energy to pump energy into a (usually artificial) reservoir.

Then, later, allowing that filled reservoir to drain through a hydroelectric plant and generate electricity.

This solves 2 major problems, compared to alternatives.

1) The scaling costs (with respect to energy storage capacity / volume) are extremely low. E.g. instead of building twice as much battery, you're just consuming additional empty space behind the dam.

2) There is no time-cost to storing energy in pumped hydro, which affords great flexibility in when it's stored and when it's extracted. E.g. stored on a bright day when the wind is blowing, extracted at night when there's no wind.

In essence, it turns spikey supply and demand patterns into more constant ones, which are cheaper and more efficient to service.
and if a company is trading low, their trust is also low, am I wrong? They would will need to trick people into giving them money upfront (preorders?) or borrow from 3rd party to cover a product that will sell and bring cash.

nevertheless, I didn't mean they can't fund it because of low stock price, they got lots of free money from Polish government development fund, but CDPR delivered only 4 big games and only 2 were big hits, The Witcher and The Witcher 3. CP77 sold in many copies, I have one too, but I'm not buying them unless they prove it's worth the price. They completely lost my trust and employees with internal knowledge, who were committed to make Witchers a success story.

Previously delivering 2 (or 3) good games, having stock prices high during that time, getting free money from development fund vs now stock price low, trust in company and their quality dropped, 5 projects in progress? Aren't they shooting too high?
I remember when games like Diablo II came on multiple CDs, including both an install and a play disc. Hell, I remember when I installed games off of multiple floppies. They could just deliver multiple discs.

That ship has already sailed as most power producing dams have been around for long time. Removing them would destroy the (now natural) ecosystem they have created. Plus dams have way more benefits to us than the extremely clean energy they produce - not just store.
As ctoth said in cousin comment, HTTP Basic Auth seems to work well for content like that:

I, for one, am not totally against the idea of paid-subscription-only podcasts, though I hope they don't completely push out free podcasts.
How else are they going to challenge the status quo? I'm confused by people acting shocked and appalled every time any other company brings up issues with the status quo.

Spotify wants to get into Audiobooks, Apple won't let them, Spotify wants to make a social ruckus so people are aware of who to blame and to demand change.

Before you consider the idea they should just quietly try to push regulation, consider without insane amounts of capital to go against the likes of Apple who will always have more, you need the public on your side. It does have an impact on regulation.
Facebook has obviously just been seeking to maximize profit for their shareholders as possible (maybe at the expense of some people, but no more so than any cigarette or oil company). Are you implying that ideology should be changed?

> Because energy storage is currently not a problem

Yes it is. It's one part of the solution to fluctuations in electricity production (renewables: wind, solar) and consumption (day / night, warm / cold).

In a grid, at all time, the production has to match the consumption perfectly. You can make the frequency vary a bit to make up for fluctuations, but only so much before damaging things. Storage helps with a production higher than consumption and then with a higher consumption later.

Good storage makes grids more flexible and ideally lower the need for electricity production, and costs.

I agree with the rest of your comment though.

I have conflicted feelings on this one. While I support the cause obviously, we seriously need to be more serious about climate change.

I think they are taking the "any publicity is good publicity" in the wrong way. There are a lot of people very passionate about art (or at the very least find these pieces very beautiful and want to preserve history).

I worry that things like this could do more harm than good. Especially given this is now the third? Most of the reporting I have seen on it focuses on the art itself and is it ok. But very little on the actual cause.

If they make enough people mad about the art I worry it could undermine any progress on getting people to care about the climate and instead will just react with something like "well look at what these immature children are doing so the cause must not have any merit". We already have enough deniers out there, I worry that this is sending the wrong message.
The objective of Jessie and the other capability-secure dialects of JS is precisely to allow you to import malicious code in a web app without allowing it to either wreak or wreck any havoc. You can imagine lots of ways this could be useful. One of the most boring but profitable was Crockford's original application for one such dialect at Yahoo — interactive banner ads: https://www.crockford.com/adsafe/

More generally, what if you want to drop a poll into a chat channel, upload a trading bot to a cryptocurrency exchange, run an image-filtering plugin for your paint program without giving its author access to your imagery, etc.? There are lots of scenarios where fine-grained security permits useful kinds of collaboration.
Yes, they were very popular in some circles. My preferred Witcher games are, in order, 3 then 1 then 2. I vividly remember Witcher 1 for one very difficult battle in the first part and some yellow fields later on. In Witcher 2 the combat system was not that pleasant for me, so I did not play too much even if I bought it. For Witcher 3 I waited a couple of years after I bought it to play it, waiting for a new GPU that was good enough to play on highest detail level.

This post reads like satire, no wonder you made a new account to post it and used some interesting words in it. Regardless, "fine art museums" are "strictly optional" and "luxury" places? That's just something I can't wrap my head around and I wonder why a dozen people agreed with it enough to upvote. I believe ruining a valuable art piece that can be appreciated by every person alike is punishable by at least some laws, so they should face the consequences of their actions (despite this occurrence not damaging the piece, unlike others in the past weeks). Why some people are calling for "retributive justisce" is just how some others are claiming this could be a false flag attempt: it is so truly inane and harmful to the cause that there is little logical explanation to it as a genuine form of protest.
Static Typing [...] other languages, such as Scala and Haskell, offer some form of type inference

Okay, so Java has the var keyword, which does type inference and has been around since version 10 (4 years now). And it's not like people don't like statically typed languages... ever heard of a little thing called Rust?

Also, as has been mentioned, getters and setters were fixed through the introduction of Records in Java 14 (2 years ago).

The example code for exceptions is kind of weird, as the author mentions the throws list, but doesn't have any throws declarations in there; and in try catch you can just catch Exception ex to have a default handler. And it wouldn't make sense to complain about having to catch new exceptions if you want to handle those exceptions separately. In fact it doesn't make sense to blame Java for breaking API changes, those can happen in any language.

You mean Apple would have to be competitive regarding their own services for once? Actually have it make financial sense and provide a seamless experience for companies so they're encouraged to use it rather than forced? No... that can't be a good thing for consumers.
Hard Disagree. Bash programming:

- no standard unit testing

- how do you debug except with printlns? Fail.

- each line usually takes a minimum of 10 minutes to debug unless you've done bash scripting for... ten years

- basic constructs like the arg array are broken once you have special chars and spaces and want to pass those args to other commands. and UNICODE? Ha.

- standard library is nil, you're dependent on a hodgepodge of possibly installed programs

- there is no dependency resolution or auto-install of those programs or libraries or shell scripts. since it is so dependent on binary programs, that's a good thing, but also sucks for bash programmers

- horrid rules on type conversions, horrid syntax, space-significant rules

- as TFA shows, basic error checking and other conventions is horrid, yeah I want a crap 20 line header for everything

- effective bash is a bag of tricks. Bag of tricks programming is shit. You need to do ANYTHING in it for parsing, etc? Copy paste in functions is basically the solution.

- I'm not going to say interpreter errors are worse than C++ errors, but it's certainly not anything good.

Honestly since even effing JAVA added a hashbang ability, I no longer need bash.

Go ahead, write some bash autocompletion scripts in bash. Lord is that awful. Try writing something with a complex options / argument interface and detect/parse errors in the command line. Awful.

Bash is basically software engineering from the 1970s, oh yeah, except take away the word "engineering". Because the language is actively opposed to anything that "engineering" would entail.
This statistic always takes the top of my head right off: "The dominance of humans today is clear: us and our livestock account for 96% of global mammal biomass. Wild land mammals make up just 2%."

If you, like me, wondered about poultry ...

"Here we focus on mammal populations, so neither wild birds or poultry are included. But for birds the story is similar: our poultry biomass is more than twice that of wild birds. "
> I understand that hydroelectricity is used to supply the basic power need, say 80% and a water reservoir with turbines to cover power peak needs

This seems like you either didn't understand what pumped storage is, or you've confused several related technologies.

A typical pumped storage scheme goes like this: We find a mountain with a high lake and a low lake. We dam the high lake so that its natural outflow (perhaps to the low lake) ceases. We dig tunnels between the lakes, and we put an electric pump/ turbine in the tunnels.

When we put electricity into the pump, water from the low lake is pumped up to the high lake (until it gets too full and we stop). This stores energy. When we let the water down the pipe through the turbine instead, the same water flows from the high lake down to the low lake, giving slightly less electricity via the turbine.

Unlike the conventional hydro electric power plant this is not really producing electricity, it is storing it, hence the words "pumped storage". We can use this to move electricity in time, which otherwise has to be done very expensively with batteries.

For example, when it's windy in the middle of the night in the UK, the French and Belgians buy some of our cheap electricity, and the stored power hydro facilities in Wales and Scotland also use that electricity to pump water up to their top lakes. The next afternoon, when peak electricity usage occurs as the sun goes down and people begin cooking evening meals, the pumped storage releases the water, making electricity it can sell at peak prices. In the UK the pumped storage plants are privately owned, so they benefit financially from this arbitrage.
Yep, now we just need to excavate the reservoirs on those high and low spots, a mere 100% of the work required.
GTP-3 drafting copyable sweet, saucy and psycho (and rejection) text messages
Hand crafted a series of prompts for GTP-3 for sweet, saucy messages and romantic rejection messages. For psycho messages I used one-shot training to add bits of saucy-spice to each of the sweet messages.

http://www.saucysms.com/

Here is an example of a sweet message:

> Hey there! I was just thinking about you and wanted to let you know that I love you more than anything in the world. You mean everything to me and I can't imagine my life without you. I hope you have a great day and I can't wait to see you tonight. Love always, your Darling

Example of a rejection message:

> Hey, thanks for letting me know that you're interested in me romantically. I appreciate it, but I'm just not interested in pursuing anything with you in that way. I hope you understand.

The purpose of the project is to be a bit thought provoking and hopefully humorous - since it is now pretty easy to generate quite emotional content - and we can ponder the consequences if someone were to use this technology in making real connections.

One interesting thing - sweet messages to women are way more often over the top using exaggerated near-poetry language compared to sweet messages to men.
The difference is that in Texas and other states, misdemeanors are still prosecuted. In San Francisco, DA Boudin *did not*.
Yes, with Java, the advent of the "fat-jar"/"uber-jar" deployments with an embedded server is far different than the massive deployable war to an application server stuff from yesteryear. And I can see that. PHP definitely allows one to "ladder up" a whole lot easier than some other languages.

Once we get into these large "batteries included" frameworks like Symfony and to a little lesser extent Laravel, it almost seems like that simplicity disappears.
> rust (great language, tool ecosystem and community, but needs to stabilize before it's used for critical infrastructure.)

There's hardly another mainstream language out there that's more stable than Rust: the standard library as well as the language itself follow a strict backward compatibility policy – breaking changes are only allowed to fix safety-relevant bugs.

Software interfaces in general have regressed severely since the mid-2000s. Media players are a perfect example. There was 10x more functionality in Winamp or Windows Media Player than we get in Spotify or Apple Music today.

What is going on? Why are things getting dumber? Are we just optimizing too hard for the lowest common denominator and the average user wants things to be dead simple?

I don't want to believe software has to be this basic. As software has become mainstream I think we've created a self-reinforcing myth that it has to be simplistic for people to want it. I think we can afford to ask users to think for a couple of seconds about the interface they're using.

Implementing SSS is fun. It’s short and covers using modulo integer arithmetic to compute invertible integer functions. It also overlaps with error correction methods a bit.

Starting around January, our app (Dominion[1]) has randomly had updates rejected (including one that _delisted the existing app_) because of our app description. We make some irrelevant changes and resubmit and, so far, it's been accepted each time. We've had the same description for over a year/10+ releases before.

The latest rejection:

>>>
The app title or description does not accurately describe the app’s functionality.
Issue details

We found an issue in the following area(s):
Full description (en_US): “▪ Tutorial & Rules ”
<<<

So we changed this to:

▪ In app Tutorial & Rules

And it passed. Every release is just a bucket of stress that we are going to lose N-days of revenue again for no obvious reason.

Paypal deplatforms people. They also don't have a way to stream revenue as you play.

I'm not a great ambassador for it but they are building the infrastructure to accomplish the streaming payments, boosts, cross platform chat, podping to get immediate notifications and reduce wasted polling, and a whole bunch of standardized metadata.

By the way the streaming payments also have value splits to support the show hosts, app used to play it, hosting platform, a guest that happens to be on that episode, etc, etc. Whatever they want. It's really impressive and no way can paypal match this.
Rich people funding the dandy version of terrorism deserves scorn. These are people with money and many powerful connections.
