> You’d think if the future depended on it, build times could be reduced.

Possibly not! We have gotten worse at building large things. One interesting explanation comes via Poppendieck's "Tyrrany of the Plan": https://chrisgagne.com/1255/mary-poppendiecks-the-tyranny-of...

Her prime example here is the Empire State Building, which was built on time and on budget even though they had not finished designing it when they started building. The basic notion is that contrary to the current paradigm, more planning does not necessarily make things better.

On my own account I'd add that the rise of The Plan corresponds to a rise in a managerial caste (driven in part by the invention and rise of MBAs) that took power from people with domain-specific expertise. Much of that managerial work relates to developing, maintaining, and enforcing The Plan. But this is so much the dominant paradigm that it's hard for many to even imagine alternatives. A good book here is Spender & Locke's "Confronting Managerialism": https://www.amazon.com/Confronting-Managerialism-Business-Ec...

So it may be that even if the future depended on it, build times could not be reduced because it's paradigmatically impossible. For basically the same reason that a lot of large software projects are clusterfucks: the POSIWID-type purpose of many organizations is not the work they're supposed to be doing, but protecting and benefiting the people supervising the work.
China's grid is roughly 2322 TWh or 28% renewable, versus the US grid at roughly 857 TWh or 21%. 100x is beyond a gross exaggeration.

Crucially, China still has 67% of generation from fossil fuel sources vs. the US at 61%.

I do most of my work on private codebases so I went that direction. I had intended to add a qualifier for that but I missed my window to edit.

Agreed there are many ways that working with public repos makes everything dramatically more difficult. I’m pleased to see GHAS secret scanning become free. I’m not clear if that would include the pre-push secret scanning feature. If so you have a really decent toolset for prevention and detection. Remediation should be as easy as key rotation. Except keys get reused and rotation affects all users...
if the keys can’t be rotated it’s a big chore for private repos owners, but de facto impossible with public codebases. There is no way of knowing who has cloned it (without paying for enterprise audit logs).

We're adding a lot more renewable than anything else.

80% of power plant capacity added in 2020 was renewable.

I think anything that isn't also a term that people like you have spent decades using as a slur would suffice.

The problem isn't the term. It's the connotation. Many conspiracy theories are baseless, some are not. When people like you constantly use the term as an umbrella slur for people who are alleging that things aren't quite as they are being purported (often times they are not even alleging that conspiring is happening) for reasons that the public would not like it no longer becomes useful for it's original intent. See also: retarded.

The problem isn't the term. It's that it's a constant game of cat and mouse with you. Over decades people like you will co-opt it in order to lump people who have legitimate "hey, this press release says X because Y but the facts all seem to say Z" criticism in with "the politicians are lizards" type garbage.
It's gaslighting to tell you that different people can comment on things?

Biggest issue is the closed source licensing of many of the most popular extensions. Pylance, C# (future), Remote Extensions, etc. In addition, the VSCode marketplace is only licensed for use with the closed source distribution of Visual Studio Code, hence openvsx.org.

Offtopic, but Signals and Threads is my absolute favourite programming podcast, maybe even favourite podcast overall. They go into interesting topics deeply, instead of the way too common "interviewer read the summary of the wikipedia page about the subject and is now interviewing someone who actually read the entire page."

Hoping they'll get more content out soon.
You're proposing using laws or tax payer money to subsidize certain power generation. That's bound to lead to issues, like for example the now cancelled Virgil C. Summer.

Pretty good. :) These remind me of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams in style. I wish I knew more hilarious writers. Vonnegut is great though maybe not quite as hilarious. I've tried to read The Innocents Abroad and Confederacy of Dunces but I found myself only trudging slowly through both. I'd love your suggestions!
I'm on my second home of full Z-wave (mostly Fibaro, pricey but would recommend) and though smaller this isn't my experience at all.

No it's not perfect but agree with others that the S2 seems to be way better.

Also bandwidth as a metric to aim for seems like a bad choice for IoT to me.
But in this very case, there is two theories: on that someone killed him, the other that he was given the means to kill himself.

If the first case is true, i can't imagine this had gone quietly, and that the legists didn't see a thing. So i'd say at least 8 people were necessary, but closer to 20 if you count the administrative demand (putting the right guardians and the right legists at the right timing etc)

The second case is much more probable imho, and only demanded the intervention of one, maybe two people. It's easier for them to keep quiet if only one was involved, and if two were, they only have to trust each other, so the information will probably never get out.

And in the second case, anyone rich and powerfull could have done it. Gislene, Prince Andrew... Or current powerfull politicians and businessmen.

The issue with what's called "conspiracy theories" is that they involve a lot of different people being on the payroll. And because of the way trust works, i don't see how a conspiracy of more than 6 people directly involved work (just look at history, the "French connection" but also the testimonies of captured bank busters and criminal groups).

In the same way, i don't think you can think "CIA" when looking at the murder of JFK. If you say "one or two high-ranked CIA officers and one of their mafia informant + Oswall", i still wouldn't really care, but i wouldn't think this is a conspiracy theory. Am i making sense?
Very good point about the implications of large language models for the actual act of dating! As if there weren't already enough reasons to be suspicious of people ("people") you are interacting with on those platforms...

You also make a good point about replicating real data - I think this is another area where more tools need to be developed to safe guard against consequences. In addition to the obvious challenges to plagiarism softwares LLMs pose, there are definitely opportunities here to develop privacy detecting softwares should an org want to use GPT-3 or ChatGPT for synthetic data.

Recently I was reading a book by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler about converging technologies that referenced the Luddites' reaction to the invention of the loom, fearing it would lead to the destruction of jobs, when ultimately the innovation lead to more economic opportunity. I think we'll find that the fears people are having in this regard about LLMs are similar with opportunities like these to develop more digital infrastructure around their application.
The problem is that people won't let them densify without the underlying infrastructure but won't speculatively build infrastructure and won't build it after the fact. We've reached an impasse.
I use Homebrew’s emacs

brew install emacs

or when I want a GUI, I use the Cask version from https://emacsforosx.com

brew install --cask emacs

The https://emacsforosx.com maintainer goes to great lengths to compile many of the optional dependencies, like image formats, and to support older versions of MacOS.
The US has no pro-immigration party.

Both parties are anti-immigration in practice. The only difference is in their posturing to their respective bases around election time.

Consider that the last major amnesty was under Reagan and the last major tightening of immigration rules was the IIRAIRA under Clinton. The modern deportation machine was really spun up by Obama - he removed more people from the US than any other president, almost 1% of the entire US population was deported by Obama. 50% more than Dubya and more than Trump. [1]

It's been two years under full-on Democratic party rule, the remain-in-Mexico policy is being walked back but still in effect. [2] Children are still being separated from their parents at the border. [3] [edit] The public charge rule still exists, but was returned to the classical definition. [4] Indian-born folks are still in 50+ year queues to get green cards subject to deportation at the whims of their employers. Consulates abroad still have year-long backlogs for appointments to get visa foils so people here, legally, in the US, cannot leave the US as they wouldn't be able to get back in without a new foil. I have friends who haven't left the US in years to see their families.

More of the US-Mexico border wall was built under Obama/Biden than it was under Trump, and Obama was behind the implementation of the biometric exit control program.

Another vote for TimeWarrior.

As a huge bonus, if you started using or currently use TaskWarrior (console based task management), it integrates seamlessly and will track time spent on a task for you.

> You can see how that might be something a platform would want to suppress...

No, I 'literally cannot even.' I cannot see how a platform might want to suppress anything except, perhaps, gore videos and child pornography. And that includes links to Mastodon and the ElonJet account, but I don't feel like I should have to put this disclaimer up just so people will stop telling me that I wanted to look at Hunter Biden's penis.

Sure, I can follow the proposed line of reasoning, but it is evident that instead of swaying the election because of fake news, they may have swayed the election because of not fake news. They were aware of this possibility, and yet the soldiered on censoring that story, so I'm not convinced that their actual reasoning was that they honestly did not want to sway the election.

Not only could you do that in Postgres, but you could do it in a real language of your choice. The reason you don't see it done is because the people who choose Postgres over Oracle know that it's kind of a terrible way to build it if you care about long term maintainability.

That method of building fossilizes quicker than quickcrete.

There was a recent discussion about map rendering and I commented to "just convert to SVG and let the browser render it" to which someone said that's too slow, to which I said "so improve the browsers vector rendering" rather than do a high performance renderer just for map software.
This is what I was thinking of. China was suppressing information about the protests online by having Twitter ban activists, arresting (and beating) journalists, and running a spam campaign at the same time to push the results out of the feed.

Yeah. Anecdotally I once spent a "Windows Evening" trying to figure out why a game would freeze at the controls remapping menu. Found out that Windows' own game controllers menu was experiencing the same freeze. I went so far as to reinstall Windows entirely, only to find that the issue wasn't resolved. Started disconnecting devices out of desperation, only to find out that the issue was caused by the driver of a USB DAC I had connected...

Computers suck, in general. I have a hard time seeing an attempt to leverage blame on Windows or Linux as anything but an excuse to start a flame war.

The argument is that non-native honey bees (if you live in the US) put pressure on the native pollinators competing for the same food sources. It makes sense logically, since commercial producers will have huge bee yards and do migratory beekeeping to follow the pollination contracts and the honey flows. I have not, however, ever seen a study on it. I've also never really gone looking.

I believe you over complicating it - I think there is a simply a disconnect between what most people want and what the politicians are prepared to do on this issue, because fundamentally a lot of American politicians are more dependent on money than people to be elected.
From a super pro nuclear source:

> Nuclear plants currently being built have about 34-36% thermal efficiency, while one of the new reactor designs boasts 39%. In comparison, new coal-fired plants approach 40% and CCGT plants reach 60%.(4)

https://world-nuclear.org/our-association/publications/techn...

This is the reason for Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR). Then you can increase the temperature and through Carnot's theorem reach higher efficiency. But now you have a pressurized reactor with another host of complications...

Since a coal boiler is much simpler in construction than a reactor, and do not rely on water to slow down the neutrons causing the chain reaction, they can do more fancy stuff and use supercritical steam leading to the higher, but still not good efficiency.
Their plan for 2060 is doing fine. The reality of the present is that they burn more fossil fuels than the next-largest grid, the US.

At least for the creators I follow, they use alternative platforms for additional content (not replacement for their YT videos) for things that don't perform so well trough the YT algorithms like long form, in-depth videos that are less advertiser friendly than pure infotainment, and e.g. music educators doing song analysis which is too risky to do on YT although to my understanding it falls perfectly under the fair use doctrine.

I don't even see them as competing platforms, they offer very different products via the same medium. Legally, I don't know if having such ToS would be a problem, but as a user I would find it extremely frustrating to not have to ability to discover content that YT seemingly doesn't want to focus on itself.
forma is geared towards vector-graphics heavy use cases. A very good example would be Lottie or Rive animations or games that make use of vector graphics. Another possible use case would be places where you need a very small software renderer, like an OS's early boot.
Apple’s BSD stuff is mostly open sourced by them though:
https://opensource.apple.com/releases/

It used to be even more comprehensive, which enabled projects like OpenDarwin to exist, but yes upstream can benefit to at least some degree.

And this happens even though there is no copyleft forcing them. Remember that if you retain your own fork, you now also own the maintenance, including aligning your proprietary changes with incoming upstream stuff.

Yeah, but one could argue by making updates to the game they're destroying the experience of the old game, taking it away from me. I see little difference in the argument about the "original" Overwatch servers getting migrated to Overwatch 2 and them releasing updates which would ultimately make older versions effectively unplayable (no players).

Like cool, you've now put the force of law into making them continue to manage old versions, versions that practically nobody plays on. By adding a single new character they've now changed the game, and if you didn't like that addition, it's an unplayable game even if you had the option to not update. This is fundamentally the same as Overwatch getting shut down (the old version becomes effectively unplayable).

If anything, they shouldn't be legally allowed to modify the game at all, because making a modification to it makes the original effectively unplayable because there'd be effectively no player base. Or maybe they should be allowed to make updates to their game platform...

If the release of Overwatch 2 was effectively taking Overwatch away from the people who paid for it, every update to the game was effectively taking away that edition of Overwatch from people. But people didn't care until the launcher got updated to say "Overwatch 2", suddenly now that's a travesty and Blizzard is somehow taking it away.

I got Overwatch on release day. I still can play Overwatch today. I don't get why one would say they took it away from people unless you agree every update to the game is taking the old game away from people.

“Line stopped going up” is the injury requirement for tort liability, there still needs to be a wrong, and a causal link between the two. Elon’s flouting of legal rules makes it likely thar you’ll find plenty of examples of the first, its the last that is likely to take more work.

Indeed, maple syrup is like wine. No two years are exactly the same, some taste better and of course price is not always a good indication.

Exactly like wine…

The highest quality of maple syrup you can get is the ‘extra-light’ type, very pale and liquid… It is quite rare because it can usually only be obtained in the first few weeks of the season, directly from the producers.

The darker syrups are more tasteful and heavy, but considered lesser quality. They are much easier to procure, year long, in supermarkets.

Whether you want a dark or a light syrup is basically a matter of taste, of course.

Ah… one more thing: never, ever buy bottled maple syrup. Light affects the product. You should always buy it canned. Normally you should have identification of the producing farm on the can. Like wine…
This is an amusing line of inquiry. Sapphire is growing in popularity for microchips. I found a source for single-crystal sapphire ingots... they only go up to 8 inches (~20cm) in diameter, about 60mm long. This tank was about 11 meters in diameter, 25m long. Scaling that up would be quite the project.

I mean, you could probably do chemical vapor deposition, but it wouldn't be a single crystal so what's the point?

Not ideal in terms of radionuclide release. Also not a great coolant due to the ridiculously small heat capacity. Also, these reactors had no other purpose than producing plutonium for weapons and the design is completely useless for anything else.
Most people are not aware that carbon, potassium and calcium are radioactive elements.

Despite that, our body contains large quantities of them.

Like also for the chemical toxins, the dangers of radiation depend on the dose, and we should not worry when it is low enough.

Also platinum is a radioactive element, but those who wear platinum jewelry are seldom aware of this.

All computer displays are slightly radioactive, because the ITO transparent electrodes contain indium, which is a radioactive element too.

The ceramic kitchen knives are slightly radioactive, because their blades are made of zirconia, and both zirconium and hafnium are radioactive elements (all Zr, unless specially purified for nuclear reactors, contains Hf).
