It’s even up to the email provider to make the local part completely or partially case-sensitive if they wish, but tell that to most government websites in the world. Probably a lost case at this point.

Periods are more of a Gmail-specific thing, but as you mention merging two people once in a blue moon is not a terrible price to pay for an analytics system, it’s not like it’s going to send mail to these addresses.
That sounds like it would be very expensive and error prone.
I have been fortunate enough (privileged enough?) to feel comfortable picking up hitchhikers (or simply people walking along the road) over the years, and while most aren't particularly noteworthy, a few have been rough.

One teenage boy had just been thrown out of his house, with nothing other than a torn shirt and shorts, by his drunk father. I drove him to his girlfriend's place.

One desperate father had taken a bus as far as he could, but still had miles to walk to get to his mother's place and back home before his kids would wake up in the morning.

I wrote about those and my other recollections a while back[1], but none as memorable as this piece.

> This clock is inspired by a post by ILAMtitan on the 43oh.com forums, which was in turn inspired by Vetinari's clock from the Discworld series of novels. Although the movement of the second hand is quite erratic, it ticks exactly 32 times in 32 seconds, and so keeps quite accurate time overall.
The clock started life as a cheap $3 clock from KMart. It's mechanism was kept, but the driver circuit was removed and replaced with an MSP430 microcontroller. ILAMtitan's code is designed to ensure that every 32 seconds it will tick 32 times, but the exact timing of those 32 ticks is variable. There can be as little as 1/4 second between ticks or as much as 24 seconds. Overall though it will keep quite accurate time.
> This is good news for the planet, as studies show that EVs create less carbon pollution than conventional gasoline-powered cars, even after accounting for energy expended to produce, transport, and charge them

How about the mining of battery materials and the effect of that? Or the disposal of batteries. This article is pretty biased in that it fails to address the externalities of the entire EV lifecycle.
I had a similar idea when I was designing a heating system for a mountain house I was planning on building. I was planning on primarily heating with an oversized wood stove. The excess heat the wood stove would produce would be captured by a heat pump inside the house with its coils in a 500 gallon tank of water that was well insulated. When the house needed heat you could run the heat pump in reverse or make a system that removed the insulation around the tank of water letting the heat out. I had a spreadsheet with the heat calculations. I think the water at 150F degrees had around a megawatt of energy stored in it and that could have heated the house for a couple weeks. I never ended building that house, but would love to build a system like this in the future.

> it seems crazy that I warm the air of my house and then use electricity to keep the fridge cooler than the air I just heated

The fridge is simply moving a little of the warmth in your room out of its box, and adding a little more warmth to the room in the process. You lose no heat from the room, which is what matters, really. It would be worse to dump the heat outside! At least in winter. The heat has to be removed in summer if you have air conditioning.

In any case, an exterior heat exchanger and heat pump that can handle a wide exterior temperature is much more heavy duty. This could all end up being less efficient, in practice. House-scale heat pumps can efficiently move heat even from a freezing cold outside into a warm interior. Just as fridges can efficiently move heat from their cold interiors to a warm room.
Strange claim, because Hertz's fleets are comprised of new and almost brand new vehicles, which usually only require oil changes.

Then they sell them off after accumulating 10,000-25,000 miles, before any real maintenance is required.

20,000 miles is what, 4-6 oil changes?
> The top of that article says, "Elon Musk argues that we must put a million people on Mars if we are to ensure that humanity has a future."

Having a tiny fraction of humanity on a different world, which is entirely dependent on shipments from home for the foreseeable future, is an irrelevance to the problems we're facing on Earth.

> Moreover, the whole justification for colonizing Mars is supposed to be if a disaster struck Earth. So in a sense you have moved all of humanity to Mars if humans on Earth go extinct.

Sure, but those disasters are entirely unrelated to any of the problems we're facing right now. Nobody is claiming Mars is a refuge from, say, man-made climate change. It could be a refuge from, say, a gamma-ray burst crossing Earth's orbit in half a million years.
This was my first thought when I saw it too, I immediately found myself making a sound effect for each tick. It could definitely benefit from a tasteful sproingy sound effect!

Literacy? Just a sampling of educated people who were pushing this bullshit: Elon Musk (Stanford grad school dropout), Dr Drew (USC MD), Bret Weinstein (UMich PhD), Harvey Risch (Yale).

The figures above are reasonably educated and should know better but all share a political leaning that the social media recommender ML systems latch on.

If there is a literacy that can be taught, we need to start agreeing on what that literacy looks like
In order to cool your refrigerator, the system has to have a place to the put the "hot" it just extracted. And that place is your house itself; your freezers and refrigerators are warming your house and contribute just like the radiators you installed. So the losses are not as big as you expect them; the money you spend on those appliances also lowers your heating bill.
Not really defending the OP here, but technically a slippery slope is a logical fallacy. It basically implies that any situation will eventually result in the most extreme outcome; e.g., if you let a barber cut your hair, eventually they’ll start lopping off limbs too.

It is, of course, not actually used in this manner typically; but, it is probably important to remember that not all things push to absurdity I guess.
While agreeing on the cost of living, I have to say that the number of engineers will not be growing too much (I say this as a latin american engineer): Most latin american countries are below the replacement level fertility of 2.1, especially the ones who provide the best quality engineers (Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay) and the ones who aren't such as Bolivia or Ecuador, are barely above replacement. Already college cohorts are 25% smaller than their historic maximum in Chile, and Chile together with Uruguay are facing a dramatic threat of decline since their total fertility rates are lower than 1.3 for 2022 and falling (for Argentina and Brazil it's no more than 1.65 for the same year, just below the TFR of the United States at 1.66).

As a result of all this, the economic structure of these aging countries is changing and the decreasing cohorts of engineers will be even more compelled to settle in Europe or the US, the taxes to support non-working parts of the population are leaving less margin for starting businesses and families. So american companies won't be outsourcing for much less for same quality, at least from latin america. I think that the US won't need to be too stringent on foreign remote workers: third-world politicians will push workers out in their thirst for taxing income (and the rationale will be: "They have to pay their fair share!").

Yeah, it would be a bit more satisfying if the end moves discontinuously (as it does now) but the stem moved continuously.

Still very nice as it is though.
State of Tech Hiring in 2023
> Typically this has been because file sizes have either caused network issues or storage cost issues on the server side

And because of privacy concerns. And because people want to use their computers even when they cannot connect to the internet. And because people want the security of being sure they can access their files even if a company goes bankrupt/has an outage.

And because, no matter how fast networks get; I somewhat doubt that it will be faster to load a 2GiB 4k video file or a 7GiB pytorch checkpoint from cloud storage, than via the SATA or PCIe bus.
Yes, exactly. I don't know how it works under the hood but you pretty much press a button on both instances and the followers get moved.
Wouldn't that be a part of the "energy expended to produce" part of the statement? Maybe it's intentionally ambiguous, misleading if so.
My xps-15 sounds like a jet engine when I'm watching a YouTube video. Mainly because Ubuntu + Chrome + Nvidia chipset do not play well together so it's all software decoded. The solutions are either: "run all these brittle steps to built your own Chromium[1]"
or "go buy a different $3000 laptop because Linux (Ubuntu?) is very brittle when it comes to hardware support."

My third solution, which I promised myself I'd do over the holidays but never got to, is migrating fully over to MacOS so I can stop thinking so much about my tools and get back to thinking about my projects.

The health endpoints exist only to provide a signal to some external orchestrator (these days most likely kubernetes). There's rarely a need to attach any data to these responses - you can just respond with an HTTP 200 and an empty body. They're not meant to be human readable; the orchestrator will use the status code to make a decision whether to send traffic there or to restart the container, etc.

There are two variations of a health endpoint, you should consider adding them both:

A "readiness" endpoint is dead simple - is the application alive? If not, the orchestrator will shut down the application and try to restart it.

A "liveness" endpoint does more work to ensure that, e.g. you have a valid database connection and your app can actually serve real traffic. I usually connect to the db and run a simple "select 1;". If that fails, the orchestrator will reroute traffic away from this instance - but not restart it.
I would love it if there were no ads. Seems like a dream though. Has any government tried it? If so, what kind of sneaky ads posing as content emerged? "Native ads" posing as content already exist. At least it's easy to tell the difference when the ad is out in the open and marked clearly.
I wonder when ergonomics started being a thing when designing computer workplaces.

IME, it was the early to mid 90's. Suddenly there were consultants for everything, and office/ergonomics consultants started popping up.

I suspect it's related to the shift to the widespread use of computers in the office. Carpal tunnel syndrome went from obscure to an "everyone knows someone with it" kind of thing. I knew someone who eventually had to wear big arm-length metal braces while using a VT-52.

The bean counters figured out that if they made small-money adjustments to their workplaces, they could save big money on health insurance premiums.
There's all kinds of ways people come up with Jeonse money. But it's important to understand a few Korean cultural norms:

- It's the general norm that people stay with their families well into adulthood -- often even after marriage and children (with "free" childcare from the grandparents). It's not as common for single adults to have their own property. [1]

- Given this reality of households, families often pool their money for large purchases. Since Jeonse is "guaranteed" returned after a lease, it's low/no risk to individual family members, who all get a place to live as part of the agreement. It also lets people of a variety of economic circumstances all participate in getting high quality housing.

- The average wage in South Korea is <$3k per month (in USD), while housing in the Seoul Capital Area (about half of the population) is at or near NYC prices: or about $10k-$30k per square meter. Most individuals, and even families, thus cannot afford an entire mortgage on their own, but can afford to both pool money and to secure Jeonse loans (which have a lower interest rate than mortgages as the landlord is the guarantor) at lower overall values.

- Jeonse doesn't mean "lump sum for no rent", it's a sliding scale and many properties use Jeonse + some minimal rent. At the other end of the scale the typical Western style "deposit + full rent" is called a Wolse.

- Crashing at a flop house/share house/whatever does happen, there's an entire industry of ultra-minimal cheap apartments, but both social stigmas and once a person gets married and has kids, you need more space quickly.

It's not a perfect system, but during a fast growing economy coupled with a government strapped for cash, it allowed tens of millions of Koreans to move into safe and modern housing. Unfortunately, it's extremely fragile in any other conditions and has lots of downsides in nearly any other market condition. As the Korean state matures and growth slows, I expect it to slowly go away to be honest.

While those numbers are extremely encouraging, the fact that this is on a new fleet is to be kept in mind.

What we know now is that they 50-60% cheaper to maintain during the first couple of years.

Let's hope that they are also 50-60% cheaper to maintain over their whole lifetime, but this might not be as assured as one might think due to batteries which are a huge cost.
Apparently.. :mindblown:

Not the OP, but in my experience "slippery slope" is basically an admission the real situation actually isn't bad enough to convince the audience and you have to instead present an imaginary bad situation.

For example, before gay marriage was legalised I heard people claim legalising gay marriage was a slippery slope to allowing paedophilia and bestiality. This has not proved to be the case in reality.

> As far as I can recall, he believes that we must be a multi-planetary species to survive which means Earth is destined to die.

Yes; in several billion years, e.g. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1482552643343904770

"There is a [100%] chance of all species extinction due to expansion of the sun, unless humanity makes life multiplanetary"

Do you disagree with this assessment? Either way, it is irrelevant to the claim that "billionaires [are] planning to move humanity to Mars in the near future"
Strictly speaking you don't need a phase change in the fluid for a viable heat pump; pressure change is enough albeit with worse efficiency. Even something as simple as a Stirling engine with forced circulation of the fluid works as a heat pump.

People have other reasons of going. You don't colonize during the asteroid event, you colonize long before. You won't have people fighting to go to save themselves, you'll have them wanting to go for various reasons, legacy, reputation, isolation, etc.

That being said, I don't agree with your premise that you can't be a healthy person and care about the human race. You haven't added enough to support that claim.

Microsoft faces EU antitrust warning over Activision deal
An explanation could be that people driving Hertz cars are not optimizing for car longevity which breaks more stuff earlier? Also 10,000-20,000 miles in pure city environment can still take a toll on the brakes which the EV would be more resistant too because of regenerative breaking.
Some employee has to take those cars to jiffy lube (or whatever oil change place is contracted with that Hertz location to provide fluid changes) to the tune of $20/hr. I can see that dominating costs.

And on top of that the average EV probably has low(er) rolling resistance tires (to get a few more miles of range) which get replaced every 40k instead of whatever sticky tires the OEM slapped that only last 30k so you're doing that routine less too.
Yes, money in the bank means you don't worry, that is by far the most impactful part of money. Spending more doesn't make you happier but having money so you don't have to worry is huge.

Ads try to tell you that you will be happier if you spend money, but if you learn to ignore those signals you can be perfectly happy on very little.

Right, and last November it hit general availability. You don’t need to be running an Insiders build of Windows 10 any more. That was the announcement I linked.

Agreed, YouTube homepage and recommendations have been garbage for YEARS.

Since around 2018, to my recollection. I just keep getting the same crap recommendations day after day. It's like, dude, you've suggested the same random clip from Mask of Zorro to me for GOD KNOWS WHAT REASON to me for the past several months, and I haven't clicked on it once. Don't think it's time to generate some fresh recs that might induce me, as a user, to click and watch stuff?

I've given you a lot of detailed explanations you haven't actually explained anything.

I didn't see what you're talking about in the 15 year old message board discussion and I think if there was something specific and clear you would have copied and pasted it.

I also think that if you had any understanding of what you're saying, you would have given an explanation yourself.

So go ahead and actually put something here that you can back up. It is a common scenario where someone has no real evidence to link something adjacent and then tell someone to 'go find it in this link'.
