2.4/2.4 is also a standardized GPON speed... Just not very common.

But either way it's irrelevant to the point that the technology can very well support symmetric speeds and offering symmetric doesn't "need a lot of "active" equipment and that drives the costs up." as the commenter I originally replied to claimed. Also evidenced by XGPON having the exact same amount of active equipment.
I'm a senior developer, and I have to admit I'm one of those guys ;).

WhatsApp was 55 people big when they got acquired, and to me that sounds about right.

Twitter employed 7,500 people. 7,500!!!! So please tell me where the complexity lies? Surely not in the front-end code I can tell you that.

Let's compare it to something WAY-WAY-WAY more complex, like a game with multiplayer, awesome mod tools, etc.: ROBLOX: 2,200 employees. Do I need to mention they wrote their own physics simulation engine and keeping realtime multiplayer going?

So please, explain this to me: how is Twitter more than 3 times more complex than Roblox???

Maybe I'm wrong, that's very possible, I've been wrong in the past. But just explain this 1 thing then: Twitter needs more than 3 times the manpower than Roblox?
I’d start by not telling my boss it’ll take two weeks to solve a problem that might not have a solution.
Thanks for the reply! Your implementation looks like a very ingenious way to use bottom sheet.

> All that forcing by law to throw out old things to get something more eco-friendly is so immoral

It's not. Local emissions are a thing, too - a new car will have way cleaner exhaust than a 20 year old beater, and an electric vehicle even less. Nitrous oxide is the big issue in urban areas, the less of it is in the air the better for those having to live near high traffic streets.
That article/advert you cite makes no reference to PyPI, so I'm not sure what your point is.
Thanks, I hadn't seen that discussion, looks like there might be some useful info there too.

I'm in the middle of reading Designing Data Intensive Applications, and Database Internals is next on my list, but hadn't come across the other two yet - have added to my reading list now.
Arguably lisp machines were the last bastion of chaosnet, as even in somewhat later models chaosnet over ethernet could be easier to setup than other protocols.

That said, Symbolics Genera made all of It's services work over I think all protocols it supported (so chaosnet, serial lines, IP, etc)
I have spent the past couple of years solving problems that, evidently, no one else is trying to solve (or else everyone else finds it easy to solve).

The evidence is that I spend a lot of time searching for error messages of which I am apparently the first recipient in the world.

I’m working with systems that are opaque and hostile to developers. I’m using platforms in ways that are very removed from the mainstream, provided by enormous companies.

I know a solution exists but what I don’t know is if a business viable solution exists.

The way I deal with it is to focus at each stage on what I do know, what I need to find out, and whether it is worth trying.

The “worth trying” part is often subjective but metrics such as revenue can help in the decision making process.
Looking at the shell script, is kill guaranteed to be synchronous? I.e., isn’t there a race condition anyway between kill returning and SIGTERM being processed by the target process?
The last paragraph is probably one of the best ways you can phrase a “Keep up the good work” message about emissions.

> Ultimately, the progress we have made should encourage us that progress is possible, but the large and growing gap between where we are headed today and what is needed to limit warming to well-below 2C means that we need to double down and light a (carbon-free) fire under policymakers to ratchet up emissions reductions over the next decade. Flattening the curve of global emissions is only the first step in a long road to get it all the way down to zero.
I Like design and UX of the addon, it's helpful and time saving when it comes to switch tabs every time you want to ask something from chatGPT.
Yes. I treat Glassdoor reviews the same as I do hotel reviews or restaurant reviews - look at the reviews where people are positive but have criticisms, and look to see if those criticisms have a trend in the reviews (or if some reviews even tell people that thing is a positive - "difficult work life balance" "high pressure rewarding environment)

If they're all positive (or negative) then that's a sign there's something wrong.
New Zealand is always the obvious "lifeboat". It's a long way from populated area so difficult to get there, and it's fairly easy to sink any ships that try. It's in the southern hemisphere so will be protected from the majority of nuclear war which would be in the northern hemisphere.
Not sure what you mean with extra space, but many components have xs, sm, md, lg, xl, and 2xl sizes, e.g. you can use Modal components with small (sm) size; this is also shown in the live demo on the Modal component page.

What kind if problem?

- Mathematics/physics textbook problem: can you prove it has no solution? E.g. you can start by assuming it has and then find a contradiction. That also works for finding a solution.

- Programming: can it be done by a series of pen-and-paper operations? If yes, then it has solution and you must keep on trying. Can you find an equivalence between your problem and and a well known problem? This last point is true also for math/physics.

On equating your problem with a well-known one: there are not so many new things under the sun. Try to formalize the problem statement, then you might come to conclusions of the form:

- This is equivalent to solving the traveling salesman (bad for you)
- This is essentially a system of linear equations (good)

When you do this you can take advantage of all existing literature, i.e. the knowledge of smarter people.

I am about five years out from a similar situation, so let me give you a glimmer of hope: I did get better, very slowly. I wish I could say why, I’ve obviously tried all sorts of things and also a lot of life has happened between then and now, but _don’t give up hope_

And best of luck, I suspect you really helped some patients at your former job relative to someone who would have been less conscientious. Maybe even me, we’ll never know!
I have no intention of keeping the machine. It is of no use to me. What is baffling is that they are holding my last salary payment, which is of a value higher than that of the machine, because they say they need the machine back first. Part of the owed salary is being somehow "held hostage". Is that allowed?

> CO2 levels will go down as we put less in the air

What? You are saying that if your are cooking meat on a skillet and turn the fire down from 3 to 1, or even to 0, then your meat temperature would start actively decreasing below the ambient temperature and freeze on it's own? Because that's what you are saying, literally.

I'm not against measuring emission rates, that's an important metric. I'm against making any far reaching assumptions based ONLY on the emission rates estimates. Because that's like cooking meat inside an opaque black box by measuring torque forces applied to the regulator over time. It loosely corresponds to the result, but the meat would be charred most likely, due to big amount of conversions and estimations. On the other hand measuring meat temperature with a thermometer inserted directly into it would give us a precision result.

Looked it up: FOI means “ Freedom of information laws allow access by the general public to data held by national governments and, where applicable, by state and local governments.”
Anonymity completely destroys the fabric of glassdoor reviews being trustworthy. There definitely is an opportunity to have a more open and transparent feedback culture built around this system of employee - employer relations.

In an era where we are going to see more of tech jobs disappearing (AI and automation kicking in), the effect of maintaining a glassdoor presence is no longer even meaningful for new age companies. For prospective employees, having a meaningful way to have feedback from current employees is a solution that does need to be in place.
The problem is, everyone talks about the GDPR but they don't actually read it.

If you read it, it's really clear: if you're not sending information to third parties then it's exceptionally easy to be compliant. A lot of things are "to best effort" which puts the burden of proof on the prosecution that you were grossly negligent.

There is a dedicated website to explaining the regulation for dummies; https://gdpr.eu -- the entire thing is 11 chapters, half of that is for governments to harmonise their national regulations to be GDPR compliant without people needing to invoke "GDPR", the remainder is a mix of common sense and ensuring digital privacy and consent. It's really clear for a legal document.

I should know, it's my part of job to read them and to ensure my company is compliant. It's not hard. The most loud people about this are lawyers who have a financial incentive to make it as hard as possible.
>- How do you verify that the reviews are actually from current/former employees?

People who write review would have to upload recent pay slip or after when committing review provide their email at employee to receive some passcode active within 2 months

>- Can the data be open for the public to verify while protecting the people leaving reviews?

Verification explained above. Token to employee at employer domain email would be anonymous. Reviews would be randomly visible within 1-8 weeks after submission.

>- How could the service get funding? Donation model?

Jobs advertisement ads and website getting commission if someone got hired from advertised jobs like most agency get. Hired person would get small bonus for confirming got accepted.

>- How would you overcome the initial issues with trust?

Just reliable reviews that got verified with payslip and domain email and maybe even passport just to make sure employer doesn't create dozens of fake payslips and domain emails.

>- How do you prevent companies from manipulating the scores/reviews?

See above

>- How do you handle legal challenges if you're based on something like a donation model? Companies would surely sue you at one point or another if they cannot take down reviews themselves

Just create account in some law friendly country. Don't store any user data such as passport, payslip, user employee emails etc - after verifying just delete those

I'm doing a PhD now, after a ~30Y gap since my MSc, in the interim running start-ups, working in defence, oil, banking, Internet and energy saving.

I have been entirely happy being "just" a sysadmin and a developer at times, and never took them as 9-to-5 minimum thinking jobs.

Please don't assume that all jobs that you haven't done are trivial and non-intellectual and beneath you. You wouldn't be alone in doing it, but it isn't helpful.
If only Sveriges Radio, and the Swedish mainstream media as a whole, would somehow get rid of their notorious habit of self-censorship. They've had 250 years time to finely craft a system in which you don't even need to censor anything because the press does it by themselves.
So the country is better off if prices of non-tradable services are increased by their suppliers? That sounds like the broken window fallacy.
Here's my general process for problem solving when operating with incomplete information.

Evaluate the severity of the problem first. This usually falls into a bell-curve with the X axis starting at "not a problem" to "armageddon."
Attempt to gauge the timeliness of the problem. This tends to fall between "already happened" to "years in the future."

Comparing the severity with the timeliness will give you a good idea of the urgency of the situation, which is then compared to current priorities.

Gather the information you can given the urgency constraints that can give you the best understanding of the problem and accept that this information may necessarily be incomplete.

Recognize that many times you don't have to solve a high-urgency problem but can instead pursue a partial course of action that increases the timeliness, which reduces the urgency as well as provides you more time to gather information to reduce the unknowns.

When deciding a course of action with incomplete information you need to commit to that decision strongly, but always be looking for evidence that the decision is incorrect. Until you have such evidence, stay with your decision. If you find such evidence, re-evaluate since you have the ability to make a more informed decision now. This is generally referred to as "strong opinions, weakly held."

One thing I very much try to do when executing a plan that is based on incomplete information is to have an exit strategy. Try to make choices that give you the ability to roll back changes and restore to the previous state if things go wrong. This will give you more confidence in committing to action.

Always remember that discovering a choice you've made is incorrect is valuable because it increases your knowledge and often leads to greater understanding in an environment in which you lack sufficient information. Don't fear learning this way, it's too valuable to avoid.
Tesla seems fine using the CCS connector everywhere else in the world.

And CCS is capable of of doing 360Kw of charge (with the current 400V units and a chunk more on any 800V unit) which is a tiny bit more than 250 max on the NACS
Thank you. Subscribing to specific Portuguese creators seems like a good idea.
(EU customer here - this colors my impressions also due to different models availability compared to the US or other markets)

The specs and price gap between a Renault Zoe (Inexpensive, with consequently low acceleration, top speed, handling and range, but absolutely a joy to use in a city or on short trips - perfect balance of price/specs) and a Tesla M3/MY is quite wide and should allow some other manufacturers to wedge themselves into a rather popular segment, with profit.

And yet... there's hardly anything better than a Zoe, they immediately approach or pass the price of a Tesla (looking at you Volkswagen, Cupra, Audi, Mercedes, etc) while being worse by an impressive margin (paltry top speeds, uncomfortable ranges, rather primitive features, etc). You start getting cars something favorably comparable with a baseline Tesla M3 RWD when you add a good 20k to its price, it's ridiculous. And apparently they're hardly breaking even on those, while Tesla has a decent profit margin, what's wrong with them?

I'm also hoping China and Korea will upend this market because established EU/US manufacturers surely won't.

It’s true that with the way JS is designed, you almost never want to freeze up the entire program like that because it doesn’t exactly have threads so it would freeze the whole page or application even if you could. You can get a similar effect using async functions which can pause for a bit while still allowing events to be processed (or do it the old way using callbacks)

So both are true; yes, you almost never want to do that, and the reason you don’t is because is because of JavaScript’s design, which you could argue is a flaw but it does also have advantages
> a big bulk of the recent reductions have come from picking low-hanging fruits, i.e. by replacing coal with natural gas

US and Europe, maybe. What about China and India?

"China permitted more coal power plants last year [2022] than any time in the last seven years, according to a new report released this week. It's the equivalent of about two new coal power plants per week. The report by energy data organizations Global Energy Monitor and the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air finds the country quadrupled the amount of new coal power approvals in 2022 compared to 2021"[0]

This is like complaining about the HTTP protocol because you don't like the requests Python library. There is no "Web3" API as part of the Ethereum protocol. "Web3" APIs (in plural because there are multiple ones, in different programming languages) are externally built libraries that expose in an API details about the Ethereum blockchain (blocks, transactions, gas consumed in a block, base fee, etc...). If you don't like a particular library, you can use a different one, or build your own.

EIP-1559 has never been patched. It's still functioning as it was conceived. A minor clarification is that it was not introduced to make ETH deflationary, and in fact, it doesn't guarantee in any way that it will be deflationary. It's a side effect of demand for settling on Ethereum exceeding the current issuance of ETH. In much the same way the supply of oil may go down if demand for it is greater than its production.
In what ways is it annoying to work with EIP-1559? It's, I would argue, much simpler than it was in the past, as you now have a pre-defined base fee to pay to be included in a block. But perhaps you have something else in mind.
Your link says that in 2005 international trade as a percent of GDP was 23% and in 2014 it's 24%, so about the same.

Gross World Product was about $43t in 2005 and $78t in 2014, so that would suggest international trade has increased from $10t to $18t in 10 years, nearly doubling, inflation adjusted.

You can say that the non-international part of GDP is overestimated, lets say by 40% more in 2014 than in 2005. That would mean that real GWP in 2014 was just 56t, and therefore the 18t international trade would actually be 32% -- a 33% increase in 10 years.
You stop the fed from printing so much money. I mean, right now it's too late, but for the future, it would be a good policy.

Yeah, but in Europe Tesla now needs to actually compete against a big choice of EV car manufacturers and models. That isn't great for Teslas profits when they actually have competition across the whole market from different brands. Musk stock investors aren't profiting.
> That's such a weird thing to say. What do you mean not supposed to own?

disincentives work the same way of incentives, but in the opposite direction.

EVs are an hassle to own if you live in a dense urban area, like those you can find in many European cities. I predict many people will give up on owning a car when confronted with the drawbacks.

It's very hard to argue without numerical data, but the graph on the Wikipedia version of the graph seems to increase linearly to my eyes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keeling_Curve (Edit: No, I can see what you mean; the graph is steeper from 2010–2020 than from 2000–2010.)

(To anyone a bit confused, the Keeling graph is the cumulative amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, so emissions are the first derivative of this graph.)
Well, Apple got away with lightining for long enough. And for the same reasons Tesla does it to. Can't blame them so, we will see if there are any antitrust issues down the road, or if e.g. the EU steps in. But then US spec cars have always been different from other markets.

What you are describing is active sonar. The downside of active sonar is that it also clearly reveals your own position.

As such, modern submarine warfare relies mostly on passive sonar - very sensitive microphone arrays (sometimes towed behind) to listen for audio signatures of surface and subsurface ships.

This means that submarine navies (and anti-submarine surface fleets to some degree) put a high priority on the ability to run quietly. A lot of work is put into things like propellor design to minimise the noise but there's a limit to how far you can go to eliminate cavitation and other noise sources. MHD, which would just be water flowing through a pipe, can potentially be much quieter.
