Marsupials and placentals are more closely related than any of them is related to monotremes. This is what has been determined from the DNA comparison.

Neither marsupials nor placentals are "earlier", they both have a common ancestor. This paper is about that common ancestor, more precisely about the continent where it lived, which now appears to have been Gondwana, in contradiction with earlier suppositions.

Gondwana is the former union of Africa, South America, Antarctica, Australia, Madagascar and India. The evolution of mammals has been influenced much more by the breaking and fusion of the continents than the evolution of other animals, because for mammals travel across seas was much less likely to be successful.
I imagine the claim was more that evolution gives systems that at the individual level aren't that fussy about the details, not that evolution can't produce highly specialised organisms.

France has done an absolutely terrible job upgrading their nuclear plants and have delayed maintenance because of government decisions. France did well at nuclear plant building in the 70/80 but in the last 20-30 years their track record has not been so good.

There are lots of nuclear plants older then 40 years.

Benznau in Switzerland has been operating since 1972 and will continue to do so for quite a while.

There are a number of PWR plants that are currently being re-certified for 80 years. And many, many more could be. And that is not the end, likely they could be re-certified for even long live.

I don't see your evidnece:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/06/Too_much...

This is a bad graph, measure from 1974 makes little sense, solar and wind were not really relevant for most of that. It makes absolute sense to support nuclear if your alternative is coal.

And I also question how in measures like this, the value of base-power is measured.

Because if you think of it as a level of society, and not spot price electricity, things look quite different.
> A brand new language thus must be extremely compelling at a syntactical level to make it worth leaving behind existing ecosystems.

For many niche languages the runtime or standard library is the main show and syntax is built around making the standard library more accessible. In this case it looks like they've built a standard library that abstracts away a lot of cloud components (i.e. SNS, S3) and made them very easy to call. This one actually looks like they may be on to something because of the level of inconsistency between cloud apis.

The fact that online gaming chat is really really toxic. It's one of those things where christian mothers were right about video games but wrong about why. It turns out that artificial violence and guns and sex aren't some big corrupting influence but hanging around assholes for the majority of your leisure time and social activity absolutely is.

Online gaming where the only communication between players is jumping and canned voice lines is a wildly different experience.

I haven't used Uber much since the early days when it was honestly a bit of a revelation. Before that your options for getting home from central London after nightclubs closed were terrible (usually standing in a queue for some dodgy taxi company where half the time it was an unlicenced taxi).

It worked really well for me in those early years. To the point I'd take an Uber home from work if the weather sucked or I was otherwise not in the mood to walk.

The only time I ever had an issue was trying to take a taxi to an airport hotel from the train station nearby. Apparently all of the taxis were waiting in a queue at the airport and noone was going to lose their place in the queue over a 5 minute journey.
There's lots of reasons for small stockholders to want an IPO (so they can sell) but it's the reason the BIG stockholders push for it that bring it into question.

https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/what-happens-to-ipos-over-th... has some interesting numbers, and lots of what it shows seems to fit the "dumping".

Of course, if I owned any stock in a pre-IPO company I'd want to dump it as fast as I could, too. IPO companies are rarely profitable, after all.
I would start off finding some CBT and a professional to help you turn things around. The problem you have is framing things badly - being depressed/wallowing in how you’ve wasted your life is not going to help you. Movement is vitally important, if you’re stuck change your location even for a summer - for example I would consider if you have the money taking a trip to India and find an ashram (I can recommend Sivananda) they helped me a lot. For $12 per night you get accommodation, delicious vegetarian food and 4h yoga per day (also you’ll get some practice interacting with women) will sort out any of the over thinking you seem to be experiencing. That’s just an example of the freedom you have to still do things that excite you, maybe it’s Machu Picchu or the Himalayas or something else. Get out of your head and make a plan.

I’m far from perfect but I’ve been doing what I call 75 medium hard (you can google the original plan 75 hard). It’s basically a 45 min walk, 45 mins other exercise (I alternate strength training and zone 2 indoor cycling), read 10 pages of a book, drink at least 2 litres of water in addition to other drinks, have a diet with no alcohol. It is starting to feel really good every time I succeed every day and it’s day 18 now. Also if you want to be less worried about your own problems I’d strongly advise reading Man’s Search for Meaning - a book with such astonishing darkness in it that it’s impossible to feel self pity while reading it.

I hope you realise that you aren’t as stuck as you believe and that a few forward moves can really get you back on track a lot quicker than you think. Stop thinking and start acting.
I'm perhaps to young to really offer any advice, but...

Do not confuse the need for yourself to improve from the need for our society to support you better. Likely both need work, but in understanding the difference, perhaps you will find the best outlets for your problems.

You mention not living in the US, so I can't speak to what society is like there either. But, the issues with isolationism and technology transcend borders.
Yes. The Python modules I write generally have:

class Error(Exception):
pass

class FooError(Error):
…

and then, in the generic case:

try:
failing_external_function()
except Exception as e:
raise Error(*e.args) from e

(And if the code encounters a foo situation, it explicitly raises FooError, possibly with extra parameters, etc.)

It is really annoying to have to catch all of, say, socket.error, SSL errors, FileNotFound, etc. etc. in every call to some function in a module, if you use that module extensively. It’s much easier to just catch module.Error and be done with it. If you need to handle foo errors specially, you catch FooError.
Then again, in case of 2FA maybe you wouldn't want there to exist ways around it, or someone could impersonate you to get your credentials?
Just turned 47 this morning. I do have the kids, house, and accomplished most of the things I wanted to when I was a kid... but there's always more, there's always the things I haven't done, the things I have failed at, and the list goes on. I too feel the bitterness, anger, and disillusionment of the current state of the economy, my career, etc. I wonder how much of this is a product of those of us working in tech related/adjacent fields and the industries promises of the past few decades really not panning out. I feel like we're in an age of disillusionment for those of us who bought into those promises only to ... <<gestures broadly at the Internet>>.. see what has come of it.

I am never going to be rich, it is never going to be "easy", and while it could be worse it could be a lot fucking better too. And it is going to get harder before anything else changes.

What can you do about it? Fuck if I know. I can't deal with my own shit. But the one thing that has helped is trying to re-evaluate my current situation. Sometimes I feel locked into focusing on the things I can't have, the things I didn't accomplish, the mistakes I've made, and just have to accept that I cannot change them. I can only look at where I am now, take inventory, and try to re-orient myself. I've heard that works for others and it has helped me in the past, but it isn't a one-and-done exercise. Maybe I'm wrong but it has gotten me this far.

"You Are Not Alone" by Andrew WK (yeah, the Party guy) has been a fantastic cathartic resource for this middle aged dude in the 202Xs. I recommend a full listen -- end-to-end -- through on decent headphones and a place where you can safely process emotions. https://red.lnk.to/AWKYNA

Take care man, I hope you find a way to accept where you are, that you find peace, and make a plan for where you want to go next.

> An outsize amount of the world’s biodiversity lives in countries of the global south. But these nations often lack the hefty financial resources needed to restore ecosystems, to reform harmful agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and forestry practices; and to conserve threatened species.

Poverty bites back. Many people think that poverty is ok if it is kept away. But the destruction of ecosystems or pollution in the other side of the world has effects in the rich countries. The world is becoming too small to ignore any part of the planet.

It always feels like that. We should do more but any improvement will have a great impact.

Re: if a computer can run scripts in a pod, can’t you just run them locally?

It’s a construct of the order of operations.

One core issue with local is the variety of OS’ and local build tools that would fundamentally mess with the centralized scripts. Getting company-wide setup scripts to work on top of existing laptop config was a continuous challenge. Hence, having a consistent baseline (OS flavor, system-level packages) on top of which the company-wide “setup script” is added followed by “developer-customizations” seems to work great.

Central teams can manage the first couple of steps and individual user-specific configuration can be managed much better in a decentralized manner.
These are not autonomous, they are more like an extension of someone who controls them.

I understand your point but I disagree. Yes a human controls them and just like a remote human on the internet the people on the camera are just video game targets. There is no way to communicate with the drone operator. People do not hear each others voices and do not have a real human experience. The internet has proven beyond any shadow of doubt that people will destroy other people on the internet that they would otherwise be polite to in person. The drone operator has nothing to risk or lose other than the drone itself. The soldiers in the field have everything to lose.

If we are at the point where people are fighting drones, it is clearly time to escalate. I know this will be a wildly unpopular belief but it is time to get the soldiers out of the field all together and use longer range missiles or do unspeakable things that will truly shock the enemy into giving up or more realistically factoring in Russian history, just wipe out the enemy all together.

Russia understands this. In the past weeks they have loaded up over 7k nukes into their silos and subs. They have recently retrofitted most of their massive bunkers.

There are 3 billion people on the planet, and plenty of potential mates that are in the same exact situation as you.

Getting a job is a good start and will help with both your self-confidence and your lady problems.
Just like birds who choose a mate based on color, song, and nest building - humans also will look for a mate who is organized, responsible, well dressed, with good hygiene. So if you're not sure how to meet and talk to women, start with the basics:
(Money) Get a job,
(Nest) Get a place to stay, and keep your stuff organized and clean,
(Song/social) join a music or art class or if you're not musical, try to spend time with people, either volunteering, or learning something, or join a local faith or traditional group. (Church group, excersize group, or crafting meetups), this adds some "spice" to your life even if you don't end up finding a mate.

Start by trying to make friends first, don't try for romance too soon.
I turned my life around at age 52. I mostly fixed everything with Stoic philosophy (to give me a coherent framework to operate in), meditation (to calm my mind), and journaling. It took a lot of time and energy and introspection.

> You can still get motherboards with a pair of PS/2 ports --- and they're often the high-end gaming/enthusiast-oriented ones too.

Part of the reason is because USB HID supports 6-key rollover only (whereas PS/2 enables proper NKRO), as cheap keyboards wouldn't include a diode with each switch to properly prevent ghosting. Apparently it does get in the way of some games, but the only case that comes to mind is local multiplayer with the same keyboard, which isn't exactly a common or high-end thing - I imagine most people enjoying local multiplayer on a big screen from a PC would get at least one controller anyway.

So most likely, something to do with latency.
Agreed, but I think it has the side-effect of signaling "This technology advancement isn't worth excitement/praise/prestige" which I think in this case could have effects like demotivating people who might be considering going into the field.
Some specifics -

Assuming Cp = 0.32 kJ/kg•K, which seems about right, you’re talking about 3kwh to heat up a 75kwh sized pack from -25C (-13f) to 25C (77f), or about 4% of the pack capacity. Which about lines up with my experience ‘warming up’ ICE vehicles. It’s not great fuel economy wise to do so.

If you have a block heater, seems like those can be as much as 750-1500 watts. If a diesel, that block needs to get pretty warm, and it’s not like a ton+ of steel/cast iron doesn’t take a lot of energy to heat up either. And that’s ignoring transmission heaters, battery heaters, etc.

Is it 3kwh worth? That would depend on a lot of factors not specified, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it was close.

A 240V/16A outlet (16A is a bit unusual? Usually it’s multiples of 5), is 3.8KW Peak.

That would indeed be limiting, as assuming something like
90% efficiency a full charge is 20+ hours.

It’s an odd number to pick though, as unless someone has a very undersized utility feed, more shouldn’t be a big deal?

I know, some places have only a 50 amp panel and blow fuses anyway, but compared to buying a new car that’s a cheap problem to fix. Even a not shitty welder is going to want 240v/20A, and an old 50 amp panel can barely handle a space heater and other usage.

A typical electric stove is 240v/30A (or more) same with an electric dryer or AC.

If using a typical electric dryer type connection, that’s 7200 watts, and at 90% efficiency could recharge a fully discharged 75kwh pack in 11 hrs, which is ‘overnight’ in most situations.

Most newish residential construction has 150 or 200 amp, 240v split phase service and panels, or 36-48kw, which provides a lot of headroom.

Of course to your point, out in the sticks things are different, and I don’t know your situation or the local counties power infrastructure.

Just supply chain issues would be a show stopper for me in a remote area. Couple in frequent power outages and that it could be life threatening not having a vehicle during one, also an issue.
43 is young.. on professional side, you can learn new skills / brush up existing skills if they are still relevant (if you are in tech).. you can move to new city / country where there might be more job opportunities.. also change of place will bring fresh perspectives.

On personal side, you need therapist to talk to.. if that’s not possible, friend with whom you can share your heart would be good..

Also if you can, consider reading https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/ to get fresh perspectives on life and its struggles..

On health side, regular exercise, any kind of sports and staying away from alcohol or any intoxication would be helpful to make you feel better. Try to go to sleep early and wake up early.. do bit of yoga & morning walk might help you tremendously..
This never happened, trust me. I would figure it has gotten better.

I recall that this hotline basically just calls your local authorities and prevents you from being a danger to yourself by having you committed to a mental health facility. Sub-optimal.
An explanation that I was given (note: by a pharmacist, not a doctor or sports therapist) was that swelling is your body's way of "splinting" the injury so that you can keep moving in a survival situation. However, it delays/inhibits healing.

While survival now at the expense of long term healing was probably a good tradeoff for our ancestors living in the wild, it likely no longer makes sense for modern people outside of emergency situations.

I want to emphasize, that this was just an explanation that I was told. No actual evidence was given.
I was suspicious of your claim, but this seems very good. Your first example is way more extreme than Adobe's (a restaurant with background noise as loud as your voice??), but the output is ridiculously clear.

I would definitely say this is "similar quality" to adobe's. Nice work.
The 'caregivers' in this case are professional veterinarians who think the cure can be worse than the disease. The caregivers allege that the chimps are being cared for at a standard that is as high as the one they'd get at the Federal facility, without needing to move them, which causes stress and jeopardizes their well-being as well.

Part of the problem here is that the law seems to say "they will be moved to the Federal sanctuary," not "they will be cared in [list of appropriate ways]". To fully comply with the law, you need to move them even if they're sick, have social bonds in their current place, or are perfectly happy.

Disclaimer: I've visited one of the non-federal facilities and I've seen retired chimps that looked content. I have zero experience in animal welfare.
I haven’t looked through everything, but I opened a random TS comparison:

Wing

let x = 1; // x is a num

let v = 23.6; // v is a num

let y = "Hello"; // y is a str

let z = true; // z is a bool

let w: any = 1; // w is an any

let q: num? = nil; // q is an optional num

TS:

const x: number = 1;

const v: number = 23.6;

const y: string = "Hello";

const z: boolean = true;

const w: any = 1;

const q: number? = undefined;

Except you’d never do that in TS unless you were being extra verbose (which you could with Wing too) because the types for x, y, and z are superfluous and don’t change the inferred type. So if you remove those types, the examples become identical (except for using const vs let).

Intentionally showing TS in a worse light than reality in a comparison is not a good look in terms of intellectual honesty.
