I think the backups end up stored in a GCS bucket in your account and can be removed manually or with an object lifecycle.
The verbosity might be annoying at first, but it does make long pipelines easier to read. This enforced verbosity makes it easier to read than a linux pipeline using some arcane `qw -eRTy` command with no rhyme or reason.
This isn't hard to understand.

* Most of the best sites for hydro (and geothermal) in western countries already have damns.

* Between climate change and growing population, fresh water is becoming more and more scarce, making hydro a less dependable source of energy.

* These projects take a long time to plan and build.

Between these there is little opportunity for hydro to play a significant role in our short-term decarbonization plans, even ignoring ecological and safety concerns.

Yup, nix and guix consistently put their binaries in "very weird places" - unless you want to make users of those tools unhappy (among others!) please use env. The user knows where their shell is more than you do.
Much worse if you actually read it. It lacks any content to justify the claims.
When working with LIDAR scanning systems (Total systems etc) that generate a point cloud, this is exactly what you'd do. Affix a target or fiducial (a pattern you can apply to a surface that shows up in the scan, either because it's very reflective or because it has a high contrast pattern on it), and use those as reference points to stitch your clouds together.
Off of the top of my head, a giant wall of concrete is not cheap nor "green", immense negative impact on the ecosystems ( waterways, estuary downstream, fish and most species that depend on a river to survive )

Villages and cultural patrimony that sometimes must go underwater.

Droughts and only small part of the Earth has rivers with enough water to make a dam that can generate power regularly.
Totally agree. A daily log in a simple text file is super useful for perf review etc., but even just to remind myself that my day wasn't wasted.

I use a little script I wrote that, once per hour, opens a full screen always-on-top window that forces me to write one sentence on what I have been doing this past hour, and saves it in a plain text file. The input field is a combobox, so I can just press arrow up if I'm doing the same thing as the previous hour. This way, by the end of the day, I have a journal for the day that went.

The word "unfashionable" seems a bit ill-defined here. The article itself makes the argument that hydro is popular and many places either have adopted it or are adopting it, so obviously that's not what "unfashionable" means. It seems like the core complaint here is that some people have criticisms of excessive damming, and it has caused governments to weigh the potential impacts of hydro projects before going ahead — but surely that is a good thing. Overall, I just don't really get the issue this article is trying to call attention to.
I’m somewhat surprised Apple is doing this. I 100% thought they would abandon any sort of connector and go completely wireless.
Exactly. It's not that Spotify can't do in app purchases. They just don't want to pay for the privilege.
Oh boy, better pore over this cigarette ad in Wired magazine for at least 30s. They paid to print it there, after all.

> Does anyone else take issue with Spotify branching out into other arenas (e.g., Podcasts, TV, Audiobooks, etc.)?

> I subscribe to Spotify to listen to music, not podcasts. My podcasts arrive using a different app with the backing of the RSS standard, not Spotify's internal standard

100%. I will never touch Spotify Podcasts for that reason and that a number of the podcasts I listen to have specifically talked about Spotify's shitty/scummy practices around podcasts (like grabbing their audio and hosting it on Spotify's servers which cuts off the only traffic/demographics info that podcasts currently have access to). Anyone with half a brain would take one look at what Spotify is doing and run in the opposite direction. They don't care about the open nature of podcasts and they want to lure people in then put a wall up around them. If a podcast is only on Spotify it's immediately a podcast I don't care about because those podcast creators don't give a shit about the medium of podcasts, no self-respecting podcaster would walk into that lions den.

With this new move into audiobooks I need to seriously reconsider using Spotify. I've enjoyed using it (and paying for it) since launch but I'm sick of their gross moves and whiny-baby attitude (also after getting access to APIs refusing to implement them, really shows how full of shit their claims are). Maybe I need to look into 3rd-party Apple Music players since the AM app is some of the worst UI/UX for a music app.
It's especially ironic that Apple had to be forced to use usb-c since they were the first to adopt Thunderbolt and they use usb-c/thunderbolt in all their laptops and newer iPads. Seems they held on to Lightning connectors simply to sell more cables (or maybe spite).
That is really funny!
How do you switch to normal (for 97% of humans) units for temperature and wind?
Everyone talking about backups, and the need to avoid blame during disaster recovery. And that's all great.

But MY big takeaway is the final section. After all that, the studio threw away the movie anyway. Had their people make a different movie, working 100 hours per week for 9 months straight. That sounds like an absolutely dystopian hellscape of a culture, and the tone of the article seems to celebrate it. Marveling that those people had the "opportunity" to experience that level of "camaraderie".

My first couple of jobs out of college were pretty "death march"-ish. And yeah, maybe there's something to having an experience or two like that under your belt when you're young and single. But this Pixar example here is just straight up abusive and exploitive, and I'm not sure that a celebratory lens is how we should best view it.
You'd have to add JS to get the user's local time, or use a dynamic backend to get the server's time.
When I worked at Yahoo! (2003-2005), Yahoo! Search would bring up a second search box under the primary search box in the results if people searched for Google, as a not insignificant number of people would start their browser, have Yahoo as their homepage, yet enter "Google" in the search box when they wanted to search for something.

Supposedly the second search box in the results fooled a substantial proportion of those people into entering their search term rather than clicking through to Google.

That is the level of tech illiterate users many people had to deal with back when IE 6 was a current browser.

My shell script best practice is not to use shell script.
You're totally right that business can thrive in a high rate environment, but we have a LOT of them right now whose existence has been sustained due to the low rates, extending all the way down to proper zombie companies. A lot of those will be killed by rate hikes, but that's actually a good thing in the long run.
Well in that case, perhaps I would give them some more glue to adhere their hands to the glass and make them temporarily part of the exhibit. It might attract more visitors.

[Edit] The more I think about this, there could be some learning moments. Provided there are physical security present, psychology teachers and professors could bring in their students to interview the activist and photography students could take pictures. Students could be given critical thinking exercises to theorize the thought process of the activist and postulate what might be their perceived goals vs. what may actually be accomplished.
Honestly this is something I love about Kotlin/Rust/Go. You either have them, or you do not. There are no time-wasting silly arguments over their veracity... just because a language makes them optional.

Why? Have any reasons for your belief? There’s a reason diamonds are expensive and it’s not “artificial scarcity” as the uneducated people here like to claim. It’s because people want the diamonds and are willing to pay the expensive prices!
"Green", if you exclude absolute sacrifice of an entire downstream ecosystem.
> Also assuming that any advanced civilization that exists would have to follow our development path is laughably anthropocentric and reflects a failure of imagination on the part of the people making said claims.

That's a great point, and it's not just anthropomorphic. It also ignores the paths that other cultures were on, that were subsumed or annihilated by Western-style industrial capitalism. What would human civilization look like (and what state would the planet be in) if, for instance, Western nations had first, respected indigenous sovereignty in the Americas, and second, sought to learn from First Nations instead of seeking to destroy them?

In other words, we don't have to imagine alien civilizations to explore other developmental paths. There are plenty of examples right here at home.
The problem with both of those is that they create movement in the virtual world that doesn't match movement in the real world which is the prime recipe for motion sickness.

Dramamine almost cures it, but also puts you to sleep. I've heard eating ginger and having a fan blowing on your face helps, but I haven't tried it yet.
I usually fix the scripts so that shellcheck is completely happy. The occasional times that there's a warning that you know is not relevant, you can add a comment just above the offending line e.g.

There's also a 'class' of political leaders (primarily the party out of power) that is trying to give the impression that we're in a recession in order to help their party in the mid-term elections.
Meta has claimed Enterprise/Businesses is a market they are going for so I think a fundamental question is: does that immersive feeling of being in VR world in a business/professional setting for knowledge workers have measurable better outcomes than existing ways to meet/collaborate? A better outcome is where it financially offsets the cost of hardware, software, support and training. That is the question an Enterprise would want an answer to before investing in $1500 headsets for people. Anecdotes online are that even the tech-savvy Meta employees aren't using VR for their collaborations internally and have to be forced. That's not a good sign.

I don't know that the tech, etc. is far enough along to know the answer to that fundamental "is it worth it?" question. Maybe as costs drop it becomes an easier decision. How long will that be though?

The factor outside of Meta's control is impatience with investors looking at quarterly results. Is developing and honing this VR collaboration Enterprise tool going to take 4 more losing quarters or is it 20? or 40? (i.e. 5 or 10 years)
Those businesses were the ones that were either created in that environment, or who survived it long enough. The last time rates were this high, they were this high for decades.

I fear the cliff scenario because a lot of business models now were built on a foundation of crazy-cheap debt. The tide is about to go out. Eventually the business environment will re-adjust to the new cost of money, but the transition will be tough.
Any project will eventually die.
Well, I feel responsible for those who need to get cared for. I take care of my parents and I’ll do more so in the future. Many people have cared for me when I was in need. I believe there’s a good chance that my children, as free agents, will choose to take care for me when I need it.

I also mean it in a more generational sense.

Are you one of those people who take everything literally, so any and all jokes fly far over their heads?

This rule of ten lines or less is clearly meant as an illustrative guideline. Obviously if you have a shell script that has 11 lines, but does what it has to do reliably, nobody will be bothered.

The idea that the rule is trying to convey is "don't write long, complex programs in shell". Arguing about exact numbers or wording here is detracting from the topic at hand.

I would avoid mounting to the file system if possible. But if it's a must, s3fs may work. I havn't used it in production personally.

Otherwise as classic S3 clients I like Cyberduck on mac, and s3cmd on the CLI. Minio's mc CLI tool is also worth to mention if I want something much smaller than s3cmd.

> I have heard this explanation before for why GNOME is so popular despite the fact that so many people vocally dislike it. It's certainly possible, but I find it implausible.

It's also a default for few prominent Linux distributions. Ubuntu, Debian and the Red Hat variants all come with GNOME since forever (aside the Ubuntu's Unity endeavour

> I think it's worth considering an alternative hypothesis, that many people have evaluated multiple options and legitimately prefer GNOME to the alternatives on intrinsic merits such as design, stability, extensions, etc.

Or that just most people use GNOME so distros pick it as default and so most people use GNOME.

Why most people use bash while it can be argued that zsh is wholly better replacement ?

Also "better" doesn't matter if improvement is small enough that it doesn't improve your workflow, or small enough that it is not worth the effort to re-learn everything.

GNOME isn't really "bad" as much as "a bunch of developers changing shit that worked just fine for mostly imaginary gains (or just plain old "generating work to stay employed")", which just pisses off people that were entirely fine with it and now got a bunch of annoyances to re-learn after updating their machines.

> For another thing, Linux users in particular seem less likely than most to just "go with what everyone else uses" since that would mean not using Linux in the first place.

Right but the fact it's higher on average doesn't mean that on average majority will still just use Ubuntu with whatever default DE it is coming with.

> Programs written for one Linux desktop environments typically work with only minor aesthetic issues in others, so that should not be a major impediment to distro-hopping.

I mean I use i3 and it has been a bit of a PITA to have both KDE and GNOME side to not look shit (especially with dark theme... altho that part became a bit easier) without installing the entirety of both environments just to change settings, so dunno about that.

I know many people that mentally only perceive connectors as "the iphone cable" and "the android cable". The "Android cable" could be anything from micro-usb to usb-c to old propietary connectors of old nokia and motorola.

To this people this change effectively removes what's familiar and understood for something unknown, but I think it will still be for the better if eventually they will only perceive it as "the cable" that just works with pretty much anything.

In this case you're chaining discreet lookup operations where it sounds like you really want a composite key. You could easily implement this if you accepted the syntax of it as d["a.b.c"] or d["a", "b", "c"] or d.query("a", "b", "c")

Otherwise I'm not sure of a mainstream language that would let you do a.get(x).get(y) == 42 but a.get(x).get(y).get(z) == 42, unless you resorted to monkey patching the number type, as it implies 42.get(z) == 42, which seems.. silly
> ”The number of people who care about standardizing on USB-C are definitely less than the vocal folks who will now complain loudly that Apple just forced them to buy a whole bunch of expensive new cables.”

I don’t think that’s true. Even hard core iPhone users likely already have multiple USB-C devices and cables, and the existing chargers are already USB (A or C) and will continue to work just fine. Apple does still include a charge cable in the iPhone box.

It’s not like the old days when people were invested into all kinds of accessories with 30-pin connectors. Most people just don’t care that much about a few Lightning cables and will be glad to rid of them.
Consideration of cost and product volume are big here.

Not nearly so many people are affected by PSU and motherboard specs as they are phone connectors.
I'm in the same camp regarding gas pump ads. I actively avoid gas stations that have them. In particular, I have sensory issues and the volume is always much too loud. I wonder why I can't pump fucking gas in peace without some speaker blaring in my face.
Thanks for the explanations!

I get kind of a "no code" vibe from it?

When I want to read data from an API, transform it and put it into a DB, my approach would be to write a few lines of Python. A script that does an http request to the API, transforms it and then writes the data to SQLite.

That seems much easier and more future proof to me than to bring in a 3rd party service.
Why there is an external inflation force?

These things do not happen out of nowhere. Someone is greedy and has market forcing powers.
But this is not a Lightning problem. It is the controller that only supports USB2.
First iPad Pro for instance was Lightning and had USB3 transfer speeds.
I don't think it's either of the reasons you stated. I think it's more about how many accessories are out there using Lightning that will be obsoleted by the switch. It's like the Dock to Lightning switch, but on a much larger scale simply because there are far more iPhones with Lightning (and therefore accessories) than there were with the Dock connector.
