This is the same set of tired lies.

90% EAF for nuclear is a complete fiction, even in the US it only looks that way because the nameplate value isn't increased when expensive upgrades are made so you're averaging 120% output for 75% of the year with 30% or 0% in the rest. Before Fukushima, Japan's program was around 65%.

Cost for cost, a mixed renewable system will produce at least as much as a nuclear plant for at least as large a portion of the year.

Nuclear can be a good choice and probably is in this instance, but the only ideology here is the same set of slimy lies that the fake pro-nuclear crowd always uses to attack renewables.

Interesting take. Many teens and 20-somethings using TikTok today will be looking to get elected 20 or 30 years from now. They may also end up as CEOs.

Had Germany spend 2000-2020 building nuclear instead of renewables they would be closing in on 100% clean energy by now.

Unless Germany is willing to admit that they wouldn't be able to reproduce what France did in the 70/80s.
> What it demonstrates is that people with equal investing skills will see radically unequal outcomes, based entirely on their pre-existing wealth.

Well, duh. Did anyone think otherwise? Obviously a great investor with $1,000,000 will make more money than a great investor with $100. That's not some nefarious plot of evil capitalists to keep down the poors, it's just the math of how percentages work.

What system could possibly eliminate that advantage without destroying the incentive to invest at all? If you're managing a million dollars and you are unable to make any more money than you would investing $100, then why would you invest? What would people do with their money in that case? Hide it under a mattress?

That is a very curious reading of history not shared by the majority of military historians in either the West or East.

For example, according to the US military (See The West Point Military History of the Second World War which is available on Kindle), without US support, WW2 would have lasted 1-2 years longer but the Soviets could have defeated Germany all on their own, both without lend/lease and also without any US involvement at all in the war on Europe. Here is what the West Point history says at the start of their section on Lend/Lease:

"Although nearly half the population and the great industrial regions of the Donets remained under German occupation, the Soviets still found men for new armies and vastly increased war production. They defeated the Germans at Stalingrad almost entirely through their own efforts and would probably have won the same victory if they received no assistance at all."

Or you can read When Titans Clashed by noted British historian David Glantz, which reads

"If the Western Allies had not provided equipment and invaded Northwest Europe, Stalin and his commanders would have taken twelve to eighteen months to finish off the Wehrmacht. The results would probably have been the same, except that Soviet soldiers would have waded at France's Atlantic beaches rather than meeting the Allies at the Elbe".

It is sad that many in the West don't know that 80% of German war deaths were at the hands of Soviet soldiers.

The reason why historians believe this is because of the timing. The vast majority of Lend/Lease aid was delivered in 1945. Only 20% of aid was delivered before 1944 to the Soviets, but by that time the tide had already turned (Stalingrad, recognized as the turning point, was in winter of 1942 to the start of 1943). By the time Lend/Lease really took off, the Soviet army was already vastly larger and more capable than the German army, which was in full retreat. During the dark days of 1941 and 1942, Lend/Lease was miniscule, primarily consisting of things like cans of spam and beans. The Soviets derisively called Spam "The Second Front", because instead of delivering the promised second front, they received cans of spam in small quantities during the darkest period of the war for the Russians in 1941-1942.

The massive factories and military gear were sent after the Germans were retreating, and therefore most historians believe they had the effect of speeding up the collapse of the German forces, which was the main effect of the Normandy invasion as well.
From what I see, most people are just calling it "posting" now. So, time to identify another reason not to use Mastodon!

There was a project for that called docker sync (it could use of 3 mechanisms (one being rsync) to continually keep the files up to date in the container. The problem I found was it would just randomly stop syncing with no warnings or errors of any kind. It was very flaky.

Nowadays make sure you use their new virtual machine thing in docker for Mac and add :cached in your compose file of any mounted volumes and I found that alleviated my issues. It used to be really bad though.
Errr, in this instance you're exactly arse backwards.

The gas supply shortages in the eastern states of Australia arose precisely because of a lack of local supply mandate and price capping baked into the original licenses.

Western Australia has such things and had no shortages.

The inevitable result (in the West) was a transnational being limited in its ability to price gouge in a global supply crisis.

Right, but that argument can be used to stop the inclusion of _any_ new large functionality in the kernel. Neither the Linux users nor the maintainers are currently interested in a feature-freeze of the kernel. If you want a micro-kernel, Linux was never the solution.

Yes, new features will have problems. They remain disabled in build configs of most distros at this point. Over time, more stability will encourage more consumers to enable it too.

This is not new for the Linux community. They will deal with this one like they have with other new features in the past.
Investing time early on can permanently change your trajectory.

My experience has been that "grinding" has very big returns. When you're starting out, putting in 2x more time gets you way more than 2x returns over the same period of time.

Personally I'm happy to "grind" for a few years at the start of my career to set myself up for the rest of my life.

> higher up the stack, where those concerns are outweighed by overall development costs, other languages will continue to rule;

Eh, I've written and maintained data pipelines, and API layers for downstream teams in prod in Rust, and it was a much more pleasant and low-effort experience than either doing either in Python. I could have had a "complete program" written first in Python, sure, but that gain in velocity is rapidly overtaken by the hours spent debugging and fixing issues in prod, issues that in Rust, I've not typically had.

> if one's focus is there, learning Rust is probably a waste of time.

au contraire - I genuinely think that learning languages, especially ones that are _not_ similar to your day-to-day language is an incredibly valuable thing to do. Learn a Lisp, learn some Haskell, etc, it exposes you to ideas that you wouldn't have otherwise come across, and gives you extra skills and tools with which to solve problems better. Maybe not all those tools are always applicable, but when they are it's a force-multiplier.
I think this quote is pretty funny in hindsight. Since it was said, we've had an entire generation of OOP muppets, and now a second one of modern web developers going that way, that add layers of pointless abstraction and complete bullshit on top of everything they write, just for fun.

In the 70s you might've needed a reason like optimisation to commit evil. These days apathy and cargo culting do it perfectly fine without optimisation even coming into the picture.

Tesla offer a “chill” mode which is exactly this. Turn it on and the car is comparatively sluggish. My friend calls it “happy marriage mode”.
This is deviating too much from the original topic, but:
1) Your initial comment just took a bash at the author about being joyful regarding some topic - "what's there to be joyful", which is really a subjective matter;
2) I'll take your point, but I strongly disagree. I would never recommend anyone living by "do not share, you might annoy other people", you will never share anything then. Case in point, you shared your thoughts, I'm pretty sure you didn't care whether someone would be annoyed by your opinion ;)
3) Not sharing a small analysis regarding words and naming just because it may annoy someone it's a huge stretch. It's not even like he's sharing some hot political topic. Someone that gets annoyed at looking at such a simple project may want to take a deep breath and go for a walk. But anyway, that's my view.
I make a full+incremental system disk backup periodically, e.g. once a quarter or two, or when I feel that a set of software that I'm going to install could do something bad, or after big changes which are undesirable to lose in case of failure. It doesn't save everything (important data is in git remotes anyway), but saves me from a reinstall-download-setup-reconfigure hassle. A user folder has a separate automatic and more frequent schedule.

That said, my home PC works since 2018 (buy date) and one at work since around 2016. Only used these backups once to move OS to a new SSD.

Most failures happen when you have no backups, so have at least one to make your system failsafe!

I’m talking about the degree of elitism / superiority / technocratic urge that makes a white man feel he’s responsible for “finding a home” for black people - as if they’re not capable of making that choice themselves. This attitude is known as the soft bigotry of low expectations.

I see no evidence that he asked any black person, let alone the whole black community, if they wanted Tim Bray to select a new home for them.
The problem with ublock is that when you try to block an image:
For example, I don't want to see recommended videos at side of youtube. I click the elements that make the text (Like video title, views) and it works!
But when i click the thumbail of the recommended videos uBlock automatically blocks the SPECIFIC image (image url) and not the html element

So when a new recommendation video is loaded it is not blocked, because the url is different

Yes, they stand surety, but only the home secures the bond. (That is, the court has—or will have, their is time to post it—a recorded legal property interest in the home until the bail is no longer needed.)

Visa/MC numbers are 4x4, as you are describing but AMEX is 15 digits and Diners Club and Carte Blanche are 14 digits.

So you need to pick your poison:

Either ask people what kind of card it is and then group their numbers nicely ... or don't ask them what kind of card it is (since you can tell anyway by the numbers and schema) and have ungrouped numbers.

I prefer the latter, actually, since it annoys me to be asked a question that the site can infer the answer to ...
TL;DR due to health issues (migraines from hangover).

Still an interesting read, especially since the author needed to 'cope' with being sober in a different way than you usually hear.
> If you’re okay with 5 years of copyright

I'm not okay with any amount of time. I think copyright should be abolished straight up. Five or ten years is just a length of time that I believe would make copyright tolerable enough not to turn copyright infringement into civil disobedience.

> you have not yet defended your claim that copyright ought to end once you’ve recouped your costs (as opposed to having the opportunity to make a return.)

I never claimed that to begin with. I said 5 years is more than enough to make your money back and then some. If your creation is successful, you're gonna sell enough copies to turn a profit and enjoy a generous protection period. If not, it's a failure and that's fine too.

> An invalid reason IMO to shorten copyright is to cite companies that have made profits, small or large.

Why? The purpose was to incentivize creation. They made profit. Therefore they were properly incentivized. Nothing invalid about it.

The whole point is they should not get these incentives forever. They should be time-limited. Truly time-limited, not this lifetime+70 bullshit.

> It does not matter if Nintendo has made their money.

It absolutely does. The fact they made money means you cannot claim they were not properly incentivized.

> you’re dragging up side-baggage by implying that all their Mario games are exactly the same

Nintendo sells people the exact same Mario ROMs from the 80s every console generation. Not just Mario either, pretty much every single franchise of theirs. Not just Nintendo either, pretty much every game company that's been around that long. Not just the games industry either, pretty much the entire entertainment industry does this.

Obviously if they make new content it's a new copyright but it's been half a century already and there's no reason for works created that far back to not be in the public domain.

> so your anger at Nintendo’s profits are clouding the criteria for designing copyright limits

I don't care about their profits. I care about the fact their works from 40+ years ago are still protected.

Do you not understand the concept of a secured promise or bond? These things have been around long before crypto, before money was funny, and possibly before money at all. The entire finance, banking, and trading and contract systems of the modern world are built around this.

The reason FTX was a scam is not because they weren't sending gold bars to investors.
Thank you for highlighting some of these distinctions.

It seems like in online discussions, and especially in the recent US midterm cycle where crime was said to be an issue, and hell, I've even seen this when I've been called for jury duty ... Many people seemingly do not understand that police or a district attorney accusing someone of a crime is not the same as guilt.

I would say even that many times a conviction doesn't really mean that. We as a country accuse and convict a lot of innocent people, have an unfair punishment mentality, often charge in excess of a person's actual misdeed, etc.

And all of these problems and more are amplified when the accused doesn't have resources to fight it.
The disfigured nature of the registry is a real shame, I actually like the idea of centralizing all configuration in Windows. I wonder if there was a better solution in Cairo.

To be honest (and I'm aware that I might be tarred and feathered for this) I kinda prefer the centralized Windows registry to the "random assortment of config files" approach that Linux has. I think both Windows and Linux give you that feeling of carefully crawling around in ventilation ducts once you get your hands dirty; I doubt it's possible to get rid of that without getting rid of the inherent flexibility that the systems provide. There's a reason Windows has both the registry and the Settings app.

> Those nights with friends I had known for years felt no different now that I was sober. As I didn’t feel awkward or uncomfortable around them, and drinking together wasn’t the only activity or situation we saw each other during. Relationships with people who I only ever drank or partied with definitely started to fade away, but I never felt like I lost anything as a result of that. The nights where I was stinging for a beer to get through it, however, were the events I had no real genuine interest in attending, or with crowds that I didn’t fit in with.

This is a common theme among my friends who previously drank heavily: They participate less in certain alcohol-centric groups, but they realize they aren't really missing them.

Moderate to heavy drinkers seem to get stuck in a rut where it feels like everyone drinks as much, or more, alcohol than they do. Yet once they break out of that rut, they realize that a lot of people have no problem having a good time without heavy drinking.

Alcohol is definitely a crutch for a lot of people.
