> your dismissal of all the work done entirely by open-source volunteers

Here's the thing: I honestly don't care whether it's open source and run by volunteers. I was looking for an alternative to Twitter, period. Whether it's closed or open source, a business or a charity, that makes no difference to me. I just spent years on a closed-source for-profit platform.

> be open to something different, and your experience will be better. Be closed to newness and you will just not like it.

I object to this characterization. It's a straw man. I'm open to software that works well. I'm not open to software that doesn't work well. I didn't find this software to work very well for me. Maybe it doesn't align with my goals and priorities, and that's fine, but don't expect me to change my goals and priorities to accommodate Mastodon's.

> assumed Mastodon needs changes to accomodate people migrating from Twitter

Well, I do think that if Mastodon wants to attract and retain people migrating from Twitter, it does need to change. But I'm not personally demanding that it change. I've lost interest in it. On the other hand, if Mastodon doesn't want to attract and retain people migrating from Twitter, then don't change. :-)

If a service isn't compatible with my goals and priorities, then I leave. That's what I did with Twitter, and that's what I did with Mastodon, though for different reasons in each case.

>Estimates vary. Others say that 12 hours of storage would be needed

They do. The study I cited above used real time production data rather than synthesizing it from weather data like yours.

>And for what it's worth, even just 5 hours of electricity storage is 12,500 GWh,

My calculations say 2280 GWh in the US.

This says 35,000 GWh of potential storage is available: https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy22osti/81277.pdf. 6% of that would be enough.

>compared to just 400 GWh of battery production (most of which goes to EVs and electronics, not grid storage).

Skeptics said the same thing about solar production in 2012. It'll probably similarly scale up exponentially (as will lithium production) just coz the unit costs are so attractive.

Yes, we will probably want to use it mostly for electric cars and use pumped storage as grid storage coz you can store a ridiculous amount. Snowy 2 is a "battery" with 350GWh of storage all by itself. China has one that isnt much smaller. The US can probably handle building the equivalent of 6 and a half of one of those.

For what pumped storage can't handle we can synthesize and store gas and we'd still save ~10% compared to nuclear power's abysmal economics.

>Very few of the sites flagged by such an algorithm can be developed economically.

6% is apparently enough to get us to 97%. I'll bet we could manage plenty more though. Plus there are disused mines.

You seem to be lumping all climate activists into one group and then saying they will all act like Islamic State eventually and commit violent behavior that will kill thousands of people.

You are using 'Vulkangruppe' who is described as a saboteur group in the article you shared as an example for what the other groups might become. I couldn't find any more information about them.

All other major climate activist groups have websites, like Greenpeace, Fridays for future, Friends of the Earth, etc.

Are you really claiming that the following 2 climate activist groups for example will eventually commit murder?

No one thinks of Twitter as anything but a toxic cesspool filled with bots, bad takes, and the odd chance of getting cancelled.

That's complete bollocks IMO. Twitter has it's issues, to be sure. But honestly, if one puts any care at all into managing their experience by being selective about who they follow, and using the "mute" and "block" features frequently, Twitter can be fine. I use it mainly to follow AI/ML news and to interact with other Dolphins fans during football season. In no regard do I look at it as nothing but "a toxic cesspool...".

Now if I chose to follow a lot of people who engage in political discourse, and chose to tweet a lot about politics, I'd probably feel the same way you do. But again... "mute" and "block" are your friends.

Sorry this is actually nonsense. Seriously, just nonsense.

Go and actually watch the disassembly and analysis done by Munro engineers. They do detailed analysis and costing. And Tesla is routinely doing things nobody else is doing that is highly effective.

Their use of aluminum casting is industry leading. Their electronics are industry leading by a wide margin. They are great at working with large glass panels. Their battery packs are industry leading. Their heating-cooling loop is fantastic. I could go on.

Just go and look a Tesla looks under the frunk and then look at how a VW ID.4 looks.

That doesn't mean they are the best at everything. Their suspensions are not as good. Their fit and finish is not as good. Again, there is more one could mention.

To just flat say that Tesla it worse at manufacturing the their competition is simply not true. If it were true they could never achieve anywhere close the margin they got. And this margin is achieved with pure EV, something most companies barley make profit on.

Tesla is also amazing at iteration. They are iterating faster then Toyota. In 2017 Model 3 had a lot of issues, if you look at Model 3 in 2021 the internals are very different.

> But Tesla has figured out a ton of clever ways to cut corners (mostly by having a customer base that accepts a very tiny static lineup of car models)

A the old 'all their costumers are idiots' defense that can't be backed up by anything substantial.

> and have gone all out on economies of scale.

They are pretty small car company still in terms of volume. And centralizing and vertically integrating production is a valid and effective industrial practice.

They had better margin then the competition while having 1/2 or less production on a architecture so just saying 'economics of scale' is just nonsense.
pip throws your dependencies in some lib directory either on your system (default if you use sudo), in your home directory (default if you don't use sudo), or inside your virtualenv's lib directory.

npm pulls dependencies into node_modules as a subdirectory of your own project as default.

Python really should consider doing something similar. Dependencies shouldn't live outside your project folder. We are no longer in an era of hard drive space scarcity.

Seems easy to me.

If it's obviously benefitial, show me:

- Performance benchmarks showing how much faster the compiled code runs

- Case studies demonstrating faster development and/or fewer time spent debugging

- Studies showing consistently better maintainability

If it is lacking this data, it comes across as religious fervor.

Why would they want to go from custom-fitted software to a no-code solution? It's usually the other way around. What are they hoping to gain from this transition?
You're basically running around with your finger on the trigger and suggesting that everyone everywhere ought to wear ballistic armour to compensate.

This is how you put the safety on and return the gun into its holster:

using System;
using System.Text.Json;

string maliciousInput = "{0} % $0 -- DROP TABLE \"USERS\"";

// Always, always, ALWAYS use a proper serializer for assembling formats like JSON.
// The malicious input can include actual JavaScript, and it'll be correctly encoded with 100% safety.
string encoded = JsonSerializer.Serialize( new {
context= "{0}", // .NET format string placeholder
input=maliciousInput
});

// This will just work, formatting placeholders are ignored if no parameters are specified
Console.WriteLine(encoded);

// A safe FormatException is thrown if you mis-use the string formmating code.
// No vulnerability other than DDoS.
Console.WriteLine(encoded, "adfasfd");

Test here: https://dotnetfiddle.net/p8P1fO

Fundamentally, putting any format like JSON or any user-controlled input into the first parameter of sprintf or any similar function in any language is Wrong with a capital W. It ought to be picked up in code review.

Ideally, sprintf-like functions in strongly typed languages should use a special "FormatString" type instead of a plain string as the first input. This would automatically fix any such issues, but relying on this is still problematic. Naively printing potentially malicious input to places like the console is still quite dangerous, no matter how much you escape it! Logs can be captured into systems that then paste it directly into HTML. Similarly, console control codes can be used by attackers as a nuisance. Etc... Structured logging, along the lines of OpenTelemetry is safer.

See: https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Log_Injection

This is the safe equivalent of your second example. Both format strings and JSON are correctly handled:

Console.WriteLine( "{0}", JsonSerializer.Serialize( new {
context="{0}", // if sprintf/WriteLine is not misused delibaretely, this is safe!
input="safe-looking\", \"bypassAuth\": \"true\"}"
}));

This outputs:

{"context":"{0}","input":"safe-looking\u0022, \u0022bypassAuth\u0022: \u0022true\u0022}"}

110 gallons is such a small amount!

If you live in a dry part of the state and have 500 square feet of footprint, an average of 3000 gallons of water will come down just on your house every year. A more typical house with the 17 inch state average might have 10000 gallons land on it.

And then you could have a tank that stores only 1-3% of that? Jeez.

I understand not letting people capture water across an entire property. But is it too much to let me keep the water that falls directly on my bedroom and have a reserve for dry spells?
Twitter wants between $8/mo and $20 for a blue checkmark, and look at the reaction. OP isn't wrong, but the reality is that isn't happening for a wide variety of reasons, so advertising it is. I wish we lived in a different world where everyone had a surplus of money and could spend it on subscriptions. But we don't. So ads it is.
This can vary a ton as well. I was talking to a friend yesterday who said he was pounding a native browser interface with an iterator and experiencing slow performance. He switched to buffering the entire thing into memory first and experienced huge performance gains.

That's not what's happening here. The actual party challenging this project is TODCO [1], a non-profit housing organization that actually hasn't built any housing in the last 20 years and has spent its revenue in the form of appreciating property values in fighting new housing projects by challenging them on environmental issues. The Californian law in question that allows this challenge is a state (not city) law known as CEQA [2]. This issue is much more complicated than a mere issue of power delegation between states and cities.

Yes, it applies to the whole process. It's incredibly hard to sandbox dependencies individually since you don't know how your code or other dependencies interact with it. If you want you can run dependencies in a worker process and sandbox that tighter, but that is quite a bit of work.

> And why is nodejs so much more dependency-happy than python?

Part of it—but I'm sure not all—is that the core language was really, really bad for decades. Between people importing (competing! So you could end up with several in the same project, via other imports! And then multiples of the same package at different versions!) packages to try to make the language tolerable and polyfills to try to make targeting the browser non-crazy-making, package counts were bound to bloat just from these factors.

Relatedly, there wasn't much of a stdlib. You couldn't have as pleasant a time using only 1st-party libraries as you can with something like Go. Even really fundamental stuff like dealing with time for very simple use cases is basically hell without a 3rd party library.

Javascript has also been, for whatever reason, a magnet for people who want to turn it into some other language entirely, so they'll import libraries to do things Javascript can already do just fine, but with different syntax. Underscore, rambda, that kind of thing. So projects often end up with a bunch of those kinds of libraries as transitive dependencies, even if they don't use them directly.
> My parents are Gen X with degrees (Eng + Chemistry?) and they seem to have enjoyed their 20s and early 30s, settled down in their 30s and ended up pretty well off without ever really worrying about money.

That probably depends on where they were and what "end" of GenX they were. The early part of GenX was entering the workforce in a pretty nasty recession with high unemployment, high inflation and limited prospects (hence Grunge hehe). The boomers (although probably not those in America to be fair) went through periods like this too.

GenZ is experiencing high(ish) inflation and high(ish) interest rates now, but unemployment is still low and wages are still good. It can get much worse, and has done before. Generally though the bad times are shorter than the good times - hopefully that keeps holding true.

- CERN is evaluating our original recommendation [0] of utilising CentOS Stream as the default Linux Operating System.
