What I don't get is, isn't that an inevitability of working with a digital signal? That is, if you were to sample a signal that was clipped in continuous time, wouldn't you get the same pattern of samples than if had clipped the signal after sampling?
It's not as clean as you describe - natural gas is certainly a global market, as demonstrated by the price correlations: futures in the united states are typically based on the henry hub price, as determined by the price at the henry hub located in Erath, Louisiana. If we compare this to rates found at, for example, the UK national balancing point, we will find that there is a definite correlation. The international trade in natural gas is definitely non-trivial. Grandparent post is making the claim that gas is traded internationally and north Americans are generally not insulated from global prices. This is demonstrably true.

It was one of the worst accidents in nuclear history.
... that killed ~1 person.

I think the disconnect here is that the "whaddaboutism" type arguments are actually relevant for once. Arguing against nuclear (or anything else) is implicitly an argument to use alternative sources of power, as society isn't generally leaving people in the dark with no electricity. If the Fukushima reactor hadn't been there, then it would have bean a coal or natural gas plant. Both would have killed far more people over the lifetime of the plant.

I think people have an allergic reaction to nuclear power that goes beyond rational, given the underlying statistics deaths/TWh. Having a single terrifying moment certainly imprints a lot more heavily on people's minds, though, than distributed deaths.
It didn't lose $7.4T, that was a change in valuation.

The article cites a change in interest rates as a major cause. First, think. A change in valuation is not a 'loss' like dropping your wallet:

Increasing rates discount imagined future more heavily. But that doesn't stop what was one 2024 dollar still being one 2024 dollar in 2024, just the present valuation of it.

Increasing rates mean higher returns on savings another way to say higher returns on capital i.e. not the dismal returns on capital of the past liquidity soaked decade+.

If you're changing the discount factor for investment, change the discount rate for future liabilities too! The future just got 'cheaper'.

The more likely scenario is that browsers effectively ban or restrict ad blocker extensions. Apple already refuses to support browser extensions on their mobile OS, and Google does not allow extensions on Chrome mobile, and we already know mobile accounts for a significant portion of web traffic.
The article is about spinning up multiple staging servers, maybe one per branch/feature and possibly leaving them there for hours or days, to be inspected at each own URL until somebody confirms that the implementation is OK. All of this is automated (a git push?)

The usual staging and/or preproduction environments would be the preview of their own branches.

It sounds nice. The only problems I can see are:

1) The cost, because each one of those instances could have its own queues, databases, connections with third party APIs, etc.

2) Seeding the database with a meaningful amount of data. I often see preproduction database built by testers month by month after a minimal seeding. Each instance here has to be seeded with all data plus what's required to demo the new feature. That must be saved before destroying the database, reused for further branches, merged with the data for other features.
It's a Twitter thread and hopefully you'll forgive that, but contains some useful tricks we've used just this week to get our CI times down.

Before this we saw branch builds take ~8m and deploying to production up-to 14m.

Now 3-4m for a branch build, and <5m deploys to production.

Makes a world of difference for productivity and developer happiness.

I’m sorry to hear you had such awful professors, but your experience is not universal so I would suggest you reconsider your assumptions.
I feel like a bunch of things must be being glossed over. Let's say UBI happens. How will people in NYC, SF, Singapore, London, and other high priced cities afford rent? Those are also the type of places where the jobs are. Not all jobs can be work from home.

UBI might let you live in some small town in the middle of nowhere where the rent is low but it's unlikely to let you live in a high demand area. You could say "rent control" but that's not a solution. All that does is start a lottery of who gets it live in the city and who doesn't.

Further, there's a ton of jobs that need to be done but arguably no one wants. jobs like farming and shipping, stocking grocery stores, construction. Ok, so UBI lets everyone quit and now those jobs have to pay more to get anyone to take them. But then all the costs go up and UBI is no longer enough to make it. Raise the UBI and you get a vicious circle.

I don't know all the reasons prices are out of control in the bay area but for example, I ordered 3 simple Thai dishes the other night. $135! In Thailand that would have been $6. 3 burritos in the poor part of town, $60. 4 plates of Chinese dumplings, $80. My guess is this is in part, high rents, and paying higher wages. Sounds great, but now no low-income people can afford to eat out.
UBI would take that even further because (see previous paragraph)

Someone will now chime in how it's bad to make people work in jobs they don't want. I don't disagree. My point isn't that people should work shitty jobs. My point is UBI won't fix the problem.
I've had real issues with Azure. The (opaque, non JWT) refresh token seems to expire well before the access token is due to expire.

Unless I force the access token to be refreshed 20 or 30 minutes before the stated expiry time then the session gets killed off.

It works now, but there was a lot of head scratching and trail-and-error before I found out what was going on.
It seems like the kind of thing that's not really worth having an opinion on. As you say, the difference only amounts to a few people -- but for those few people, they can draw the distinction in a rigorous fashion.

If you're trying to push it all the way to epistemology, then even the most trivial proof doesn't really work. "A, A->B, therefore B" could be wrong because you have only your brain to inspect it. And computers, and other logicians, but they could all be glitchy. Even "Assume A, therefore A" could be wrong.

This is a valid line of reasoning, but if one wants to follow it, it would seem more useful to apply it to trivial proofs rather than get bogged down in a problem people have a weirdly difficult time accepting. I'd kinda like somebody to investigate the properties of proofs that non-mathematicians feel compelled to have an opinion in, though.

> fwiw it's generally not compliant to copy prod data into an alternative env without doing major scrubbing. Else your preprod env now has to have SOC compliance things like auditing of access to DBs, GDPR deletion etc.

Which it absolutely should. If the idea is to go from your local environment with test data, to some staging or pre-prod environment in the cloud with (potentially) prod data. Then that cloud environment (regardless if it's called staging or pre-prod, or if it houses prod data or not), should be an exact replication of your production environment. Down to every detail.
I really hope this is the start of the end of Google.

>The best way to describe [the color] would be in wavelength,” says Schwab. The wavelength of the popular school-bus color is “right smack in the middle” of the peak wavelengths that stimulate the photoreceptor cells our eyes use to perceive red and green. The red and green photoreceptor cells, or “cones” as they are commonly known, are the two most predominant cones in our eyes. Schwab says, “If you get a pure wavelength of one color…and you hit just one cone with it, you’re going to have x amount of transmission of signal to the brain. But if that [wavelength] were to stimulate two cones, you’ll get double the amount of transmission to the brain.” Remarkably, “That color that we are calling school bus yellow hits both peaks equally.”

Curious, what is the color that would hit red and blue cones equally? What is the color that would hit green and blue cones equally?
Your timeline is incorrect. Student loans were federally guaranteed for decades up until 2010.

> For that reason, dance etiquette strongly encourages everyone to dance with many different partners.

There are a couple of cases to watch out for. I was once at a VFW hall for New Year's Eve, which had a dance. Some were "dancers", as in people who go to dance events and follow the above rule. Some were VFW people, who were there for the New Year's Eve, and weren't part of the above dance culture. Husbands danced with wives.

Similarly, I've been at events in New Mexico where when asking older/married Hispanic women, at a club with a local New Mexican band and with New Mexican cultural tradition instead of the above "dancer" tradition, where the husband may need to part of the decision. It was odd, after I got married, to have someone check with me first before asking my wife (it was all visual, and at a distance - we'd known each other for years).

> By the same token, going to a social dance demonstrates a desire to dance socially.

My point is there are different types of social dance cultures. This list seem to be for people going to dance events that are more associated with dance courses. The advice for going to a Latin venue doesn't match my experience dancing salsa or merengue in New Mexico.

> being repeatedly declined can be a signal. In that case, it is a good idea to examine one's dancing and social interactions to see if anything is wrong.

I once went to a salsa club in Stockholm. I got 4 noes in a row, which I made me feel down for about 18 hours. I went back to Gothenburg, where I had been for about 6 months. People there were glad to see me on the dance floor, and said it was big city snobbishness.

SPARK is expressive and it has a formal specification from the get go that makes it easier to stay within the requirements and provides automatic verification. GNAT tools are pretty cool. I don't think Rust has much of this other than its specification. It has momentum and a great community, so I think either way it will succeed in many endeavors. Like Erlang for distributed computing, I think SPARK has carved out and earned its niche, and Rust will not soon take over this domain.

For me, Rust seems too complicated at this point. I will continue to play and watch it. I use the Helix Editor, which I love, and it is written in Rust!
> Cost of labor goes up, and now the business owner no longer has any profit, and it is earned by the masseuses.

This assumes the incremental cost of labor has eaten up all the profit, which is rarely the case. When it does happen and increases in prices are not supported, the viability of this business model is suspect. Basically, the market does not value the “middleman” business owner that does nothing more than rent space to a masseuse. Are they really even a masseuse business or are they an office space rental company?

> checked exceptions are semantically almost identical to error-as-value but they do give you a stack trace

I completely agree with you on that one. The only thing I'd want to add is that aside from example code, usually you don't care a lot about what specific errors might pop up, unless you're at the top level of your program. This might be the request handler, or some UI loop. On the other hand, where you care about errors, you usually don't care about results or their types.

I've been in the industry long enough that I vividly remember the catch-and-wrap orgies in Javaland of 2003. A lot of it was caused by the inferior type system of Java, which hinders composability (such as when a layer is moved to another node and suddendly you have to deal with remoting exceptions). But it also goes to show that knowing a specific class of error is often overrated in application code, and should be, well, the exception.
Yes, and the stress of being uprooted. There was a large surplus of deaths in the evacuated population over the next year, without any sign of a radiogenic disease. Communities being scattered suddenly, the stress of losing homes and homeland.

> standing in a packed crowd holding your phone up to film the DJ is not dancing

True, but you can dance nevertheless and be the example, start the fun. I've been that person trying to find other dancers in that environment and they exist. They are usually at the front rocking out against the stage, or near big speakers, or around the back/sides of the crowd where it has thinned out and they have space to move.

There are alternative nights at clubs, less popular nights at clubs, smaller shows (local bands) with plenty of room, after-parties of arts-related events, ... I once went to the after party of Vancouver Folk Music Festival volunteers, and it was a different planet, felt like cheating compared to how difficult it can be to find like minded dancers.

This seems to be an opinion piece titled as if it were reporting on facts.
What boggles my mind is when visiting sites like Reddit, you will be ridiculed and titled a 'Russian actor' or a 'GOP Trumper' if even questioning anything pertaining to this war. Regardless of where you stand, its clearly evident that the propaganda machine running strong.

That said, our budget for this war seems to have no cap and that does concern me (especially just after a pandemic). Responsible spending isn't usually a trait shared by either political party (or any government body, for that matter) so I really don't have much room to complain. There's always some angle or piece that's missing from the whole picture - and that's usually by design. The older I get, the more convinced I am that our government doesn't really like or care for its own people, and that its primary focus will always be outside our own borders. Call me a cynic, but I think America peaked awhile ago and we've been on a downward spiral that was turbo charged by 9/11.

Maybe I'm just tired. Either way, I wish George Carlin was still around.
> It also ignores another big factor if psychology, humans are a lot more afraid of losing what they have than gaining anything.

Rightly, I think. The marginal utility of the next dollar is higher when you have fewer dollars. (I think of it as roughly a 1/x curve, but I have no solid data for this.) This means that, if I bet 50% of my available money on a 50/50 chance, I will lose more utility with a loss than I will gain with a win.

But the more I have, the flatter the curve out where I am. So the richer I am, the more I can make that 50/50 bet, not just because I can take the loss better, but also because in terms of my personal utility, the rewards and losses are more evenly balanced.

Also note that if you have a 20% loss, it takes a 25% gain (on what you have left) to bring you back to even.
> A typical large reactor produces 25-30 tonnes of used fuel per year.

Falcon 9 carries that to Low Earth Orbit. You do not want the waste hanging around there. To get it out of earth's orbit, F9 can do 8 tons.

That's 3 - 4 flights per year per reactor, so about $250m per year. Plus Falcon 9 did 60 flights this year, so this even capacity-wise this would only be enough for 20 reactors worldwide.

Plus like other commenters mentioned, a launch failure would be catastrophic.
Yes, there is a link to the 1970 paper on the Wiki page as well, but I think it is different from the 1975 version.
Jazz pushed the limits of what could be done by human performers improvising live on traditional instruments. There's still plenty of novelty left to find if you relax those constraints. Even back then, people were pushing beyond them, e.g. Conlon Nancarrow wrote piano music at the same time as Thelonious Monk, some of it inspired by jazz, but it sounds completely different because he used a machine to play things beyond human ability.

Now we have computers and digital audio workstation software, the possibilities are still greater.

Well, fossil fuels aren’t the clean technology we’re talking about but again the thing I was referring to is timeframe: coal plants are nasty but the air pollution stops as soon as you shut them down and ecosystems recover. Not good, but beats the situation around, say, Chernobyl for coming centuries.

And, yes, I’ve heard all of the boosters’ claims. Easy is not an accurate description but possible is and as I said before we’re going to need it. We just need to fully accept the responsibility that entails.

Or ever. Breeder reactors aren't a new idea. The concept has been around half a century, and they were put in commercial use 35 years ago. Thus far with enormous cost overruns and spectacularly bad uptime.

It's good that we research these things, but we shouldn't base our energy infrastructure on things which aren't commercially available for good reasons.

It's sad for everyone that energy infrastructure turned out to be a really, really hard problem, but wishful thinking doesn't make it go away.
Not always. Not every company likes continuous deployment. Sometimes staging is the server that demonstrates the feature of the day or of the week. Preprod is where all the software goes after getting a green light in staging, waiting to go in production maybe a few times per month or even per year.
