As per usual with XML I post my node/tree graph editor:

Still works great, I currently use it to chop up sprite sheets and bundle them with my app as base64 encoded pngs! XD

XML must be the future.

Also use this parser: http://edit.rupy.se/?host=move.rupy.se&path=/file/Parser.jav...

Indentation from hell and some code missing but you get the point. No bloat... and XML! :P
Batteries are being added to grids because they have a very fast response rate - close to instant. This is good for grid stability, which depends on keeping frequency and voltage stable.

This is necessary because solar and wind are intermittent and will slew their output very quickly due to ambient conditions. It's also helpful if a plant has to throw its breakers offline.

It's only viable because if you have a good monitoring system, you can target the wholesale market at moments the demand curve spikes and you can service the spike faster then anyone else can come online. This makes you money, and makes the electrical infrastructure require less over-build and over-production because it means online generators have time to increase their output.

It doesn't somehow make batteries viable as long term storage, because there's a big difference between servicing partial grid load for an hour, and servicing the entire grid load for 16 hours.

If the grid actually fails - goes right down into a black start condition - it's potentially a multi-week exercise to bring it back up. And it takes everything else with it. So the question is, how much storage do you need? What level of overbuild do you need to accommodate for when you no longer have reliable generators (currently fossil fuels) on the grid? The sun shines every day and the wind always blows, but does it blow enough? How much battery capacity do you need to ensure there's functionally never a chance of prolonged under-production from driving you into rolling blackouts?

I would suggest it's instructive to look at just how much water cities actually store, compared to their daily usage, and how low they're willing to let those resources get before they declare emergency measures - <80% is considered serious, <70% critical. Electricity is every bit as important - not least of which is because without it, there is no water delivery.

EDIT: Keeping the cost of overbuild in mind, for example, it costs about AUD$0.08/kWh to deliver electricity from the cheapest LiFePO4's I can find on the market as a consumer. And that's being very generous about their cycle life.
> ... for small gains in developer productivity

I think this is an underestimation, to be honest. What I struggled with native code to be able to do when I was younger is now stuff that literally anyone can do using any number of off the shelf libraries and tools targeting web browsers. This is an amazing achievement and not a bad thing in and of itself; if anything, what I lament the most is that the browser is killing native apps by being a "better" overall option.

Most software companies nowadays take it for granted that they need to ship some kind of web access to their network service, so that's the first thing they work on. Next they probably want to support iPhone and Windows, and probably Android, macOS, maybe even Linux... There are some options that cover each of these platforms to some degree, but by this point they probably already have at least a proof of concept in a web browser, and with a single NPM install, they can have that show up in a separate window, ready to ship with an installer and deployment system (not a great one mind you, but still.)

This wouldn't be as much of a problem if there were good, production-quality, efficient native code GUI frameworks that could efficiently target the DOM and native UIs across Windows, macOS, Android and iPhone, have first-class support for native text input with IME and platform-native semantics as well as accessibility support with screen reader integration, deal with responsive UI changes when dealing with different scree sizes, and have robust but performant DPI-independent visuals that handle fractional scale correctly. (Easy stuff, right?)

But there's not. And although I love Delphi VCL, or even just raw Win32, it's just not most of that either. Supporting all of these platforms is very hard. Browsers do a very good job and are often some of the best sources of example code for writing deep platform-specific code you can find. And best of all, since you're targeting web anyway most of the time, and browser engines are "native code", it's a hell of a lot easier to just ship the browser or at least JS engine to platforms that already run native code than it is to try to create an isomorphic native code solution that can also run in a browser environment.

I think that things will get better, eventually. But, they'll probably get worse before they get better.

Does this make it more difficult to reason about the program memory usage over its lifetime, or can all potential cases be statically analyzed?

Also you were a bit lucky. Over the years there has been an insane amount of bad advise from "health specialists".

I was born in a time when kids were supposed to sleep with their backs up and mothers were supposed to wash their nipples using antibacterial before breastfeeding...!

Sometime before that there was a time (at least around here) were kids were supposed to eat sour cream porridge from early life.

Of course kids died left and right, but the logic was, if so many died following the best practices, how many wouldn't have died if babies were left drinking only milk! (Retold as best I can describe it from what an older person in the family told me.)

All this is before we start talking about parenting fads like "no rules parenting" (not sure about the exact English term) which must have caused untold harm.

So creds to your dad for finding the correct advice and sticking with it.
Oh, parenting is absolutely a factor and this can be observed in underdeveloped or developing countries.

Kids in families with good parenting, a focus on education, etc are the ones that make it out.
Our friend group also use spreadsheets to decide who is bringing what to the BBQ.

In the non tech-centric groups of friends and family, filesystem solutions have been superceded by all-in-ones like Google/Apple Photos, Notes etc.

Most people I know also use an iPhone meaning they're driven towards data storage that is built around an app use case, rather than simulating a desktop FS on another device.

Many of them use Google or Microsoft solutions for work though.
I maybe feel nostalgic, but the old ui is so much... Better :)
Right. Just as some people who were abused by their parents will never be 100% physically well as adults, some will never be 100% mentally well. (And of course in neither case is that something they should be blamed for).
You're talking about gametes and OP and GP are talking about dimorphism, which is generally considered the difference in forms not including gametes. It's a very specific word to do with size differences, body hair etc. That is absolutely a bimodal distribution. Even just in height it is not binary.

Sex does have several meanings, and form is one of them.
Did a large language model write this? If not, I wonder whether authors all over the place have started to adopt that GPT style.
I did pretty much the same during a longer dip. I guess it's a way of dealing with the always-on fight-or-flight mode, so you exercise way more than your body is able to recover from and only end up digging yourself further down.

Now that I am in a healthier state of mind, I find that exercise helps a lot more as long as I can do it in a healthy way.
Playing it on Android VS bots or doing a campaign is still pretty nice. It's still being developed so can't complain :)
If only the men are killed because women are considered useful, is that really so different from men being killed simply for being men?

As for the whole whether "Kill all <historically persecuted/minority group>" should be considered equivalent to "Kill all men", I suppose one way to justify treating them differently is the likelihood of anyone actually taking such a suggestion seriously. We know there's been at least one massive-scale attempt to kill (virtually) all Jews, and we know there are still people around today who admire the ideology behind that and could potentially develop the capability to carry out such an attempt - I don't think, despite the list of examples just given, you could seriously suggest there's a group of people with sufficient admiration of an ideology that says "all men should die" and a capability to attempt carrying it out.
> The other part is that, IMHO, HTML+CSS are crap for laying out application UIs. Better than what they used to be, but still absurdly complicated.

Not just absurdly complicated, but also absurdly inconsistent. If you write an app in JS+HTML+CSS and use Electron to deploy it, the UI could literally be anything, as can the controls, etc. Nothing matches the OS UI neither, and standards have gone out of the window :(
Because whomever bought the landnto built a wind farm on it was, for some reason, too stupid to consider the land cost in his business case? It might be near SV, but not everyone is doing their cost calculation like the latest food delivery VC bavked start-up.

Nor is the entity who sold the land. So, if there ever was any opportunity cost involved, it is already factored in.

Not a big deal, there's sms verification services, they have APIs and premade libraries, cost is about ~$0.06/verification depending on which service you use, and less with bulk discounts.
All eugenics requires is reducing to fertility of a target undesired population to below sustenance. It's actually extremely easy to do because of how 'invisible' it is. Imagine there was a society where literally every single woman had an average of 1 child. It'd be quite weird to claim they were being driven extinct as everybody loads up on diapers, yet that society's population would indeed be trending towards 0 at an exponential rate, but with an 80 year 'lag' in the first wave of deaths that would mask the impact.

And country after country has demonstrated how relatively easy it seems to be to reduce fertility. Iran is a not so well known example. Back in the 80s Iran started to feel that their fertility was a problem. Their population was growing far faster than they had the resources to sustain, so they instituted birth control availability and
mandated 'marriage classes' [1], not entirely unlike what's being suggested here. And in these classes they worked to try to reduce overall fertility.

It succeeded far beyond any expectation. Their fertility went from 6+ to 2 in less than a decade. And then it just kept dropping. Today it's down to below 1.7 and it keeps falling. They've long since tried to reverse this trend and started an equal but opposite pro fertility program, but like China also showed - it's far easier to reduce a population's fertility, than it is to bring it back up. These sort of programs work as a perfectly viable proof of concept of a practically invisible eugenics program, and that's quite dangerous.

Rather than sterilizing people, I've often thought that maybe we should rather have things like means-testing. Originally it was more in the context of not letting poor kids suffer, but perhaps we expand it to make sure kids will have a healthy and safe and loved childhood.

There is something very visceral that comes out of people when you suggest that procreation should perhaps not be a universal right. And don't get me wrong, I think parenthood is integral to a society, but we're broken atm and need to get to a place where we have an upward trajectory.
The context is everything...but actually, that just depends on who you are and is therefore subjective. For me, it isn't immediately obvious why such a test would even be necessary, so I find the source of it to be much more informative than the test itself...almost like transferring an experience rather than a cold hard fact...the latter of which I find incredibly unsatisfying.

There's a lot of commentary here about Morse code being possible by tapping on a wall, which it is if and only if both sender and receiver are already trained in Morse. Problem is, your average prisoner isn't, the encoding is not at all obvious (because it's designed for speed of use, not ease of learning), and they can't just look up it up on Wikipedia when in solitary confinement,

This is why simpler tap codes exist: A = 1 tap, B = 2 taps etc is self-evident, and from there it's only a small leap to the Polybius square 5x5 tap code covered in Wikipedia.

> Maybe, maybe not. I'm sure you're accurately describing a particular meaning of that term in some jargon, but that jargon doesn't control the meaning of the term.

Okay, but how else are we supposed to talk? If we can't agree on common definitions we can stop right here and now, because any further discourse will just end up in misunderstandings. Toxic masculinity has a simple and obvious meaning. The only reason to misunderstand this is to clutch your pearls and not have to deal with the reality that maybe some of your learned behavior is actually negative.

> There are certainly people who view masculinity itself as toxic, and I wouldn't be surprised if "toxic masculinity" has been borrowed to describe that view. It's a pretty straightforward application.

Maybe, but are we then going to also use every other word based on misusage by few people? Or is it just "toxic masculinity" that we have to use wrongly?

I wanted to share my ideas, but it just turned into a rambling:

The problem is not with massive paradigm shifts... actually we are yet to see something like that. The constant busywork on industrial scale is what the problem is, the constant reinvention of the wheel in a way that is somewhat still incompatible yet the same thing. Most change is only for the sake of change, for NIH-syndrome. when a solution for a problem gets half-decent, and almost as good as it was in the windows 2000 times, then it gets forked/dumped and a new half as good fad appears...

There is no problem with learning new tools, but learning a new UI framework every 2 years just to be constantly half-as capable as Delphi was (okay, with rounded corners and animations, I give you that) can be really tiresome.

Cloud vendors changing their line-up constantly so that your certifications expire, and they can remove the really good value for the buck services and push the shiny new globally replicated and 10x more expensive new stuff (which delivers value for many, but the barebones stuff also did for many others).

Just my 0.02$, probably saw too many lets rewrite in $current-thing and don't use $industry-standard-battle-tested-thing, as it is hard to learn it, but let's write one from scratch! (last time a team in a job decided that configuring HAProxy (my suggestion to get stuff done cheaply and quickly) is too hard, it is better to write a high performance reverse proxy, because it will be our thing! (I guess they were more interested in their resumes than in the company's interests). Since then that company is bankrupt... who would've thought)
> When you're able to produce a 3rd kind of gamete, or a human that can produce the other kind too or in sequence, then you can change my mind and claim your Nobel prize

Many people result a null in this category in this without any medical intervention. Unless you intend to imply that someone is genderless if they produce no gametes?

> FYI, intersex is a misnomer because it gives those who don't seem to understand the basics of human biology the idea that there is a 3rd sex (at least) when actually, it means that someone may have ambiguous gender, but they are still either one or the other.

That is inaccurate. Humans can be born with both, or neither, sets of genitals, and chimerism can occur resulting in different portions of the body containing different genetics - it's possible for some portions to be XX and others to be XY. In addition, conditions such as klinefelter syndrome typically lead to individuals appearing closer to the XY end of the scale, their genome is actually XXY and doesn't match either.
A clock is not really a ready signal though. It is really a regularly cycling signal. It is not generated when a component is done with work, instead components are implemented on such a way to be guaranteed to be done in one clock cycle.

I started using Nim because i wanted to port some of machine learning models written in python with the idea of making them more portable. It was a lot of work as community is relatively small and a new user would end up writing a lot of code.

But Nim has a pretty solid standard library with clearly written code and an awesome community to help with problems. I generally read a lot of standard library code to expand my knowledge of language and discover common patterns which repeat themselves in a lot of real world problems.

C inter-op is really first class, and as far as i know it has one of best C++ inter-op as well, you can take a look at: https://github.com/jmgomez/NimForUE for a real world example.

I use Nim for my work in both professional and personal capacity and also have written about some of it at https://ramanlabs.in/static/blog/index.html

Well the wind farms are being subsidized by the federal government and they have likely entered into decades long lease agreements. Much of the land is also zoned for agricultural use. This prevents landowners from building housing on it.
