It's because cheap.

It doesn't bother everyone so they can get away with not stabilising the inductors.

The same way they put cheap capacitors with too-low temp ratings in PSUs that burn out prematurely - the consumer just buys a new one so why not.

Xi's obsession with "zero-covid" will continue to lead to things like this, and will seriously wreck their attractiveness as a manufacturing hub for the world over time.
This is the epitome of what is - unfortunately - wrong with capitalism.

Lofty claims of CO2 saved, while the marketing and production of a single device alone emmitted X times of cooking pasta without it.

Makes me truly question if technology & capitalism, for all the massive good they have achieved so far are the solution or our doom.
There were computers with triary digital logic. Can we make a computers which would store 251 values per bit (using variable voltage, for example, or something like that)?

What do they use the kettles for? For most non tea drinking households in the US there is no essential use for a kettle.

They do sell them here, people buy them, they are usually tea drinkers.
I think the 40% number was about the ratio of people let go that reside in SF.
No, I don't think we have.
It seems to me yet another confirmation that there is no man (or woman) for all seasons and all situations.

Musk looks like the disorganized mess he's making at Twitter, the kind of "visionary" we've all had to work with and who has sucked the will to live out of us: unreasonable expectations, constant changes of trajectory, the feeling that one well-spent night or one too many drinks for them would make our lives heaven or hell.

Zuck is spending billions on a bet that, frankly, seems like nothing more than a nerd's dream. I am cautious in my observation, and I think it is a caution shared by many, for who could have predicted the adoption of the automobile, the personal computer, the internet, the smartphone, social media?
And so much leeway is given to this case as well, forgetting that other supposed "manifest destinies" of technology, such as flying cars and robotic sex dolls, have gone by the wayside partly because of technical limitations and partly because, in the end, no one cares about them, either for now or forever.

But we have seen the same ups and downs in many historical figures, the Churchills, the Napoleons, the Einsteins, who, after proving themselves to be brilliant as well as favored by the stars, failed to repeat later what gave them notoriety, success and admiration. Perhaps they ran out of luck, perhaps no one had the courage to tell them that it was time for retirement.
They are also moving into India. I would expect they're very happy to encourage protectionist laws encouraging/requiring them to build phones in countries they sell to. It allows them to tell their Chinese partners that they have no choice in moving some manufacturing away.
If anyone is curious, the reason that says "most non-research languages" and not "all non-research languages" is pretty much Ada.
You have the filter pointed the wrong way. I don't go through a list of friends and filter out people that are incompetent at their jobs, rather the competence filter results in only competent coworkers joining the friends list

People that are competent are more enjoyable to work with, so there is a higher likelihood of us becoming friends.

Incompetent people are annoying and I don't become friends with them

Expectations, I'd bet. During peak covid, everything was a bit like this - but now the perception is closer to "business as usual, with economic headwinds".
Okay, but we haven't really gotten to what about the "philosophical approach" of Go's design makes it a spiritual successor. It can't be the GC, as you've pointed out. It can't be the standard toolchain reuse (cf. Unix composability), or a universal ABI for other languages/ecosystems to integrate with either.

If it's just this "get out of my way"-ness, then my impression is that it's not as much a successor to C as it is just a good, modern, high-productivity language. You don't really see Go programmers reimplementing basic data structures (or stamping them out, over and over again) the way you do in C land.
The key term here is 'functioning social network' and what that actually means.

One of the truths of humanity is we don't accept 'extreme' views that we ourselves do not hold. When presented with them we will find ways to censor them from our daily lives. The opposite side of the coin is the people that hold these extreme views very commonly want to share these views with others (I would assume so that others adopt these views, but there could be other motivations). These behaviors are in conflict with each other, and if the extremists are not moderated, the moderate masses will eventually leave.

Why the owner is important is they typically become the 'buck stops here' person for policy on what is extreme and how the site will be moderated. As of so far Musk (already a controversial character to many) has not given much good information to any party involved in the continuation of twitter (users/advertisers/workers) on how this is going to proceed and given quite a fair amount of questionable information and bad signaling.
The white ones are actually 'blue' - but all that is not needed, the LEDs are current driven devices and even if they get a bit more relative output flux with higher currents, it's close to negligible. Overall phosphorus is 'bad' for the LEDs, reducing luminosity, increasing temperature.

Also the PWM can be in the high 30KHz w/o much of switching sacrifice loses, not even dogs would react on it.

There were idiots in the 50's crowing about how some day we wouldn't have to eat at all. I really wonder about the diet and favorite dishes are like for someone who thinks never eating is progress. And that's without even getting into the communal aspects of eating with a group.

Anyone can identify within the "LGBTQIA+", you don't even need an inkling of same-sex attraction. It's essentially all-inclusive these days.

For example, if probed, the white opera guy could easily have said he's intersex, no-one is going to check his penis for malformations. He could also have said he's questioning his gender, as there's absolutely zero way of verifying this.

Anyway, he had a leading role in the Brokeback Mountain opera, so that probably covers it.

I think they're just clarifying that it was not the 145 year old pasta company that had the idea, did the engineering work, etc, which may not be lost on GP
This device isn't really needed. When the water boils put in the pasta and turn off the heat, with the lid on. Wait the usual amount of time. This doesn't work well with pasta that has lots of starch (barilla hasn't much).
It was weird how before that they only ever had wall mounted Wasserkocher (water boiler) and then en-masse discovered kettles.
The existence of overwhelmed workers who don't have any energy (or desire) to think outside of their daily routine is a shared characteristic of all economic regimes in sufficiently large countries. It's not due to "socialism in the US" or capitalism somewhere else. Lowering taxes or improving public school system won't solve that completely. And, just to note, Catholicism doesn't encourage freethinking either.
Agreed, but I don't see Zig ever fulfilling that niche either as the compiler is too opinionated (like Go) in ways that are off-putting to a significant subset of developers, myself included.

I think government backed so urgent loans are a big reason why people are not price sensitive.

Forecasts are that China wants to forcibly reclaim Taiwan much sooner than anticipated. And maybe they are confident that China wouldn't retaliate against them but surely that's not a risk worth taking.

Foxconn has been asked to ramp up production in India but not sure if you would call it a success or not.
Governments, in practice, tend to use Twitter as a sort of low latency press release system; the target audience is really journalists, and the tweets tend to link to longer-form things. Mastodon will do fine for that.

That was an odd way to agree that Mastodon isn't a replacement for Twitter...
Yes, I see that he wants to market to that not-quite-alt-right-but-not-neoliberal customer.

I just do not see how any of his actions actually help enhance that even with even an idealized version of such a customer, and does not alienate even that customer.

How does it establish any credibility with anyone to 1) be so unprepared for a critical advertiser's (your customers) presentation that customers literally cut their spend during the meeting; 2) publicly make excuses trying to blame for your failures on some "activist groups" who actually had no influence on advertisers' (your customers) decision to cut spending; 3) destroying verification and turning it into a anyone-can-pay-$8-to-say-they-are-anyone-and-get-greater-reach; 4) come into a $44B deal making a lot of noise and failing to articulate a plan, any plan that gets anyone on board?; etc., etc., etc.

I wish Elon all the success in the world, but he is seriously flailing here, and creating confidence in no one. I expect that he has a good chance of sorting it out once he understands the issues, but he's clearly done no homework up front, so is figuring it out in real time.

I do not see how this helps him, even with his ideal customer. Of course, as usual his comments have plenty of fanbois claiming whatever he does must be 4-D Chess, but seriously, how does this much public flailing, thrashing, and excuses give anyone confidence?

Can you point to any specific action that would actually give such a customer more confidence? From what I've read, the RW people are also really pissed at him because they expected to be able to rush right in and raise hell, and that's not yet happening either...

After installing an induction stove, I did a side-by-side test on boiling water on it vs kettle. The kettle won, both on power consumption and time. This is for a ~2000W kettle.
We don't work with a conservation organisation; we don't have any funding; we do it all off our own backs.

With my limited time, I document the biodiversity of our block here:

My wife throws up our photos on Flickr, which includes a great many of our efforts at sustainable farming and replanting, an album documenting our house-build, as well as our hiking, and far, far too many of our dog.

I think we have one or two species that are, on some level, endangered.

Our favourite species on our block is a type of orchid:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/redmoonsanctuary/31446320265/i...

It's basically a sex-doll for wasps. The female wasps can't fly, they live on the ground and climb up to the top of a stalk of grass, and the male, attracted by pheromones, would swoop in and carry her off. This orchid presents a rough approximation of the shape, and a convincing approximation of the pheromones that the male wasps are confused and try to fly off with it, catapaulting them into the pollen resevoir. If they get tricked twice: viola! Pollen exchange.
I agree with that, and I don't doubt that Facebook has the capability in place to leverage the ideas brought by those people. All I'm saying is that if a company is _relying_ on software engineers to drive innovation, they're doomed.
im talking about making an (FOSS) alternative front end, to an ostensibly free service, that fixes the bugs for them. what the fuck are you on about?
Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say anything about fixing human endeavor. I am only asking what alternative explanation you offer for the demographic discrepancy, if not structural inequality.

As for measuring the demographics, well, this is a US-centric article, so the Census would be a good place to start. Or Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_Sta...

Non-Hispanic whites make up about 57% of the US population. Roughly half of those are males, or around 29%.

Now we return to the question at hand: why do white men make up a very high % of puzzle setters, despite being only ~30% of the population?
Hmmm. I think the big problem with a game called Cannon Fodder that portrays soldiers being treated as disposable and thrown away in some ultimately pointless game is that it's perhaps a little too on the nose in the context of World War I, especially in the UK. So many lives were lost for so little that it's part of the reason appeasement had such support early in World War II. The Royal Legion (which is associated with the poppy emblem) also seems to have gotten increasingly jingoistic as old soldiers die off and old wars go from living memory to history.
Are there states that have tried to do this but it's been defeated?
>> that there is still no way to migrate an account to a different instance without basically starting from scratch.

> That's not true though. When you migrate the account, your follows and followers migrate too. (https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/)

So, that's a clear win for Mastodon because on Twitter there is really no way to migrate an account without starting from scratch. Also people complain all the time that their accounts got suspended on Twitter.

The issue is that many believe their @name on Mastodon works the same as their @-Twitter handle. They follow different rules but both are not suitable to build a permanent online identity on.
Indeed, and there's still folks out there holding the line that C is not an acceptable replacement for Common Lisp :)
Why not put the pasta in from the beginning instead of waiting for it to boil?

I think it's you who needs an attitude adjustment.
What does it mean for something to be a company's idea? The company isn't sentient, it's always a person or group that has the idea. If they have it while in the pay of the company, it's normal to say it was "the company" and would also be valid to credit the human inventor, but certainly a less relevant headline when discussing it in the context of a company's promotion
I love how the length of the disclaimer at the bottom of the page is longer than the length of the press release.
Right. And in fact, it's better that way. There's more starch in the water, which makes it more useful when you add some to the sauce in your sauce pan.

What, you don't finish your pasta by heating it with the sauce??? Hang your head in shame.
On its two Voyager missions, NASA used (still uses!) a RS encoder/decoder that can correct up to 16 error bits per frame. It became a standard for a number of subsequent missions. This was in an era before ASICs and FPGAs yet the hardware still had to meet strict size, weight, and power requirements. Not to mention maintaining comms over distances greater than 14 billion miles and received signal strengths of 10^-16 watts. Truly humbling.
I mean, I think there'd be considerable risk to that. You'd in effect be giving the government direct access to a terrifying amount of personal information.
The other tech companies are still wildly profitable, Twitter is losing money. The severance is generous relative to company finances I'd say. Heck for some it is more than a Walmart greeter makes in a whole year actually working..

I was wondering the same thing. Surely you have to be verified AS something. You can't just be generally verified.

Maybe you shouldn't be able to change your display name once verified as a fix. Or you can change it but the tick is hidden if you use anything other than your official name.

I see plenty of blue check accounts now with Elon Musk as their display name which defeats the point. Lock in your identity to the name you are publically known as. Make the whole name blue or put it in a border containing the check
Is it possible even Apple does not have the resources to single handedly diversify the world’s most complicated supply chains?
That and it's still by far the language backing the most startups that made it big.

As said up thread it doesn't explain the successful transplants of follicles to these areas.

If follicles transplanted to these areas also failed, then the mechanical explanation would hold more water, but they empirically don't...so something is obviously different at the follicle level.
Where's the energy loss from the kettle that's not present in your proposed method? Legit asking, I don't see it. Just heat radiating from the body of the kettle for longer cuz of longer time to make it boil?
this is bad because certain market segments, like the most profitable consumer ones, are differentiated by performance not performance per watt. Picking an arbitrary power cap and testing them both there will tell you which is most efficient, which is a bit like telling a lamborghini customer that your honda gets better gas mileage - its not something he really cares about.

CPU efficiency is an interesting number to the tech youtubers who focus on it, but is not that market differentiator at the highest end most profitable part of the market, and only matters to them. The AMD 7950x is very fast chip which is much more efficient than its intel counterpart, but at the top end of the market what matters is who performs better, not their fuel mileage. You'd be investigating a number interesting to testers but not consumers likely to buy those products - its a waste of time and effort.
Having no sources makes it difficult or impossible to move the conversation forward in a meaningful way. What is the point of sharing stories with no credible backing or linkage back to reality? "Ah, I hear what you're saying. That's interesting."

It's not that I doubt your honesty, it's an issue of not enough information or context to figure out anything substantial at all.
don't sweat folks. Get a Pixel and you get better camera and don't miss much.
Lots of Americans drink kind of shit coffee as well, they just largely drink it from drip coffee makers. Alternative brewing methods like french press, aero press, pour over, etc. is starting to become more popular but is definitely still not a predominant way of doing it. And even then, the really bougie people will just have an instant boiler tap in their kitchen instead of taking up counter space with something that takes longer to get hot water.
I guess this is severe enough that they're obligated to let investors know.
It would be neat if the language grew panic annotations.

It would be nice to know shallowly if something could panic. It'd also be amenable to all sorts of tooling.
There might be a few others. https://github.com/google/wuffs for example isn't general purpose or mainstream, but it's meant to solve practical problems, so I don't think I'd call it a research language. Opinions may vary.
You can't "just" do anything. Landing a significant payload on an asteroid is barely do-able right now. We are a long way from building mining rigs and railguns up there; clamping on an engine and some extra propellant is much more viable in the near term - generously estimated at within the next 30 years.
This is very much the case. Consumers are not price sensitive in the US and therefore quality of experience is valued over price. Colleges and universities responded predictably. Not by some grand scheme or even consciously, more so organically.

Not sure about midpoint being well-defined on anything we can subtract.. Z and R are infinite.. there are a lot of values in there that don't compute.

To vary your point here, the axioms for twos complement and IEEE floating-point aren't well known or observed.
Linked tweet says:

> If you leave Twitter, I recommmend you DO NOT delete your account. All old tweets @ mentioning you will still exist and if someone grabs that now available username then all tweets @ referencing that username now point to them.

Replies disagree:

> No, that's not true. Twitter organizes accounts using unique numeric IDs (yours is 16851144 btw). Of course, someone can take over your twitter handle and username if you delete your profile, but old replies will not point to this new account.

> I can attest to that.

> Yeah, this makes a lot more sense. It'd be weird (and probably sub-optimal and inefficient) to organize stuff based off random usernames rather than numeric ids.
Which vision was that, exactly?
