If Github has the power to change usernames or account details without notice then I would like them to communicate that to me clearly and upfront. Also, you dont have to pay github to have legal grounds. If the account is used for business purposes(business card, or other forms), then github could cause you financial damages no matter how small. As a business, they should try to be more open and communicative with the users. OP clearly does not have much of a case, which makes that a lame example to bring up this court stuff. This is my bad, however if OP was using his account as we both mentioned then he would have a good case.

Overall, Github should update their policy to communicate more clearly with us. This is something we should demand from them. We can just throw up our hands and say github can do whatever they want. If that was the case and Github came out to say that, I would never do business with them or use their services/platform.
Even in software engineering. I've seen devs in enterprise jobs who could put in an hour or two a day and still get "exceeds expectations" on their performance reviews
A bit blunt way to word it (and you’re going to get a lot of pushback), but overall I agree with the sentiment. The medical field, due to various regulations and special interests, is quite likely the field of study where humanity is most behind where it could be based on the technology we currently have.

I’m a data scientist, and it stuns me the way in which diagnoses are made compared to how they could be made if we had a large worldwide dataset of symptoms and other observations to draw correlations from. Especially with regard to preventative medicine.

Not only that, but there are a lot of bad doctors out there. If you go to four different doctors for an even slightly obscure problem, there’s a good chance you will get four different diagnoses. If we applied rigorous statistical tests to the assessments made in the medical industry, I think everyone would be unsettled at how inconsistent and irreproducible everything is (as applied to the medical practice—not necessarily academic medical research).
93/100 here, wonder if there’s a difference between mobile and desktop? I played on mobile and being able to bring my phone right up close to my eyes seemed to make it easier to judge the spacing than if I’d done it at my desk.
Valid point about hyperbole, but I meant ideologically in the sense that this kind of ideology crept back into the Overton window. The same occurred in the USA and refugee issues were part of the fuel.

Neither Orban nor Meloni are themselves that level of bad. I wasn’t thinking of them but of the discourse.

Now imagine tens or hundreds of millions of refugees combined with massive food cost increase due to crop failures. Orban and Meloni might be way on the moderate end compared to what might surface.
That's a pretty damning article and it looks like there are more and more of those coming.

There are plenty of them on Amazon, but I cannot find one from a "trusted" source (were "trusted" means a source which published high quality books earlier)
Anything that you stashed just for convenience, but you could re-download or re-generate it if really needed, or simply live without it... frankly, like 90% of stuff on my disks fall in the category "I'll read/view it one day", which in reality I'll probably never have time or patience to open ever again.

Rented a boat on the seine once, close to Paris ( near boulogne). We saw people swimming right next to our boat. The problem is that we also knew the boat watercloset went directly outside in the river. You could even see the stream of water and feces rushing out everytime you flushed it.

Felt a bit sorry for those guys.

It's time to kill Microsoft. Corporations are the death of innovation and Microsoft with it's $10B investment in 'Open'AI and it's guaranteed 100x return from it, is absurd and absolutely reveals the façade that is "free market" capitalism. The world has become a Shogunate of Robocop like corporations; the fantasy of which was that we could rely on some public servant to ever fix or rein them in.

For instance. Why did Bill Gates get to precede Anthony Blinken's trip to China and not be charged with a Logan Act violation? I'm tired of this crap.

Since cars have integrated phone-home diagnostic software, why would the government even allow automakers to advertise 'estimated' ranges for specific car models and not simply show actual averages?
I just wanted to say thank you for everything you've done for Protomaps. It was very easy to get started with and other than a small Vue/ES6-related issue I was able to get it integrated into my codebase very quickly.
Then you should also not buy goods made in Germany, because it massively ramped up coal excavation and burning last year, and not just any coal, but lignite, the nastiest, dirties, most lifespan-reducing type of coal possible.

They even leveled an entire village(Lützerath) to mine coal and the German police had to clash with climate protestors while getting stuck in mud and attacked by a wizard.[1]

You are probably right about the details, but as a general observation: industrial products tend to get better over time as people learn how to make them more properly. The first batches coming out of a lab are usually terrible compared to what's coming out of factories a few decades down the line.

>that no one bothered to think of any of this to begin with. That's not a functional way to approach organizational problems like teams building the wrong thing

The odds you're the first one to have thought of something are [practically] zero

The odds you're the first to implement something are only slightly higher

When you find out someone else has already built 89% of what you're looking for (and 213% of what you hadn't thought of yet, because they already ran into the corner cases and what-ifs you couldn't possibly have thought of until you hit them), you can save yourself (and the organization) loads of effort by extending what's there instead of building from scratch

Maybe you're the first to think of it and first to build it

But you're probably not - and getting that early feedback from someone who sees what you're working, and says, "why are you building what Sally & Tom built last spring?" is absolutely invaluable
Agree. ThePrimeagen had something to say about this on one of his streams, responding to someone who said "The programming language doesn't matter, only the programmer." He said something like "If that were true, let's just all go back to writing C, it's pretty good. But then you'd say 'well not exactly...'"
The dream of esim is great.

The reality not so much. I tried it a few months ago and found:

* Scanning the QR code to install the esim requires internet - it can't activate the sim card to get internet unless it already has internet. Seems like a bit of an oversight!

* Once provisioned, the mobile network doesn't actually activate your account for a few hours. Kinda takes away the benefit of 'one click and go'.

* The phone is hardcoded to only support 4G via esim, although the phone itself supports 5G if you use a physical sim on the same mobile network. Nobody on the forums has managed to make it work.

* If you damage the phone, there is no way to transfer the esim to a new phone. I assumed it would transfer over automatically as part of backup/restore, either via cable or cloud backup, but no.

* The mobile network has no ability to transfer the sim over either. Apparently their software doesn't allow it. The only way is to transfer to a physical sim, wait for it to arrive, then mark the physical sim as lost, and then reorder an esim. Great - that takes 4 days, during which you have no service.

Most of these flaws are problems with the mobile network's policies and processes. But some are with the esim spec (not allowing backup/restore, not having enough info in the QR code to connect to a network without internet).

Overall, esims have so far caused me hours of frustration and little benefit.
> he was someone who clicked to open a dropdown and then clicked again to select, while I would hold the mouse button down and then let up to select.

I didn't know the latter was possible, but I also don't know which of these I do.
> They used to claim they were not an advanced economy and still a developing nation so they should be allowed to do it. Just like the West burned coal to industrialize. Is that still the official story?

I guess so, their median income is still lower than that of the US and western European countries
The conflict emerges because the device is mine, not theirs. I ask for content, they send it. It seems am unfair burden to collude with os and hardware manufactures to force the user to give up general computing in order to visit an otherwise unknown web page. It would be a much better experience to go dark with content like Twitter has done than to remove general computing from the web.

"Coal remained the main energy source in electricity production in Germany in 2022: 8.4% more coal-generated electricity fed into the grid than in 2021"

But also:

"Photovoltaics provided almost as much electricity as natural gas: electricity production from natural gas down 11.3%, photovoltaics up 19.5%"

>It works by saving a copy of the page you're working on (or any other resource, like a JavaScript or CSS file), letting you edit that, and then serving that file instead of the live version.

1. You can already set up a local host on your machine to run tests. I thought that was standard practice.

2. I'm glad browsers are offering a similar solution which is easier to set up and useful for front end work. I just checked to see if Firefox has similar functionality, and it seems they support diffs for CSS only, but there is an add-on called Resource Override that appears to have similar functionality.
> I wonder what it will take - perhaps a war? - to get generations to understand that the wealth and prosperity they take for advantage are only a product of hard work.

That's the whole point. We work hard and give enough back to the world that the next generation have it easier, even to the point of them not knowing better. Things generally take care of themselves and your pessimism is unwarranted.

Right? Instead we will get surveillance, walled gardens, locked out devices, centralized control, pay for all this, and still have ads.
Well, the other 'biggest issue' is that hydrogen is only a terrible battery.

You need an energy source to make hydrogen (eg out of water, or you make it via fossil fuels etc). When you use up the hydrogen, you get some energy back out. A lot less energy, to be honest.

So it's equivalent to a battery. Not to an energy source.
I used PHP for years since it's quite popular in this part of the world.

For someone like me, "server-side rendering" introduced in JS land (particularly for React projects, but not only them) is one of the stupidest things I've seen in my life. We had this solved in the 90s and it didn't require converting a client framework into a server one (all while pulling in 2000 dependencies), and a multi-stage build process. Thankfully, the whole IT sphere is large enough now that we can just pretend this kind of stuff doesn't exist and avoid companies that use it.
The problem with burning wood is not CO2 but the particulate matter it produces if not properly filtered (which it usually isn't).
SLAs can be meaningless like that. However the better ISPs have in place a backup system that doesn't use the same fiber/wires. Sure the backup might be a radio or satellite feed and so be slower, but it will get/keep you online. This costs are lot more per month though, so if you are not paying for that service your SLA will probably just be we give you a free month (which hurts them enough that they will do some things to prevent downtime, but not enough that they put redundant fiber paths in the ground)
Why the scare quotes? I would expect any well-experienced power user to know a complicated system better than a fresh engineer two months into working on it, with no previous experience on the system. Especially if the power user is an engineer themself.
Modern ADSL and VDSL version typically use DMT, which is more or less the same thing as OFDM. Interesting part of that in context of xDSL is that each of the subcarriers (typically QAM-64 modulated) can have different amount of actual payload data assigned to them depending on the loop quality and interference (many xDSL CPEs have spectrogram somewhere in their web interface which directly shows how the payload is distributed over the subcarriers).
> It's reproducible enough for most purposes most of the time.

No, they haven't. Please take a few minutes to Google for the figures before making such an incorrect statement.

Inside the Nevada team’s office, some employees celebrated canceling service appointments by putting their phones on mute and striking a metal xylophone, triggering applause from coworkers who sometimes stood on desks.

That's a fairly amazing display of corporate customer contempt. Shareholders couldn't have shown more disdain for their consumers.
There are rules about when you can empty those bilge tanks -- you don't do it when docked and you don't do it when travelling up a river with people swimming in it.
I agree. I'm a long time Greenpeace donor, and they've done a lot of good too, but I do think we were completely wrong about nuclear power. I'm still not a fan of nuclear power, but opposing nuclear power when the primary alternatives were coal and oil, was a massive mistake that has probably slowed the energy transition.

Opposing nuclear power only makes sense if the only alternatives are cleaner forms of energy. But if every nuclear power plant means that a coal power plant can close, that would be a massive victory.
I have a model Y. I hate almost everything about it. But most germane, The "Battery meter" at the top of the display is total bunk. That's got to be "rosy" numbers. It'll display a the battery in miles, but it's at least 25% inflated.

However if you punch in a destination, you'll get exact numbers, and those are insanely reliable. It claims (and I don't believe any claims coming from tesla) that it'll factor wind, elevation, temperature, etc. But regardless of what it factors in, it's on the money.
Maybe if we keep worsening the problem it will overflow and we end in -maxint soon enough, solving the problem (or at least creating a different one).
I think that you’re just restating the Blub point of view. You look back on the tech stacks of the past, and can see how they were worse than the ones we have today, but looking at the ones today you think that there are no more improvements to be made — or at least, none that matter.

Given that (I assume) you really do appreciate how much better the stacks of today are then the ones of the past, that seems a highly unwarranted assumption. Heck, I will tell you this: as much as a Lisp stack is better than the alternatives today, it’s not perfect. There’s a ton of future work to improve things even above the current state of the art.

But that state of the art is still better than what everyone else is using. What’s great about Lisp is that improvements are possible: with other technologies, there are more hard limits on what can be done.
That's not exactly hypothetical....
Read for yourself:

"Coal remained the main energy source in electricity production in Germany in 2022: 8.4% more coal-generated electricity fed into the grid than in 2021" - German Mistry of Statistics[1]

I don't have numbers for 2023 yet, and while things might look better in 2023 for coal use compared to 2022, that's because Germany is now burning more imported gas instead since the LNG terminals came online, so it's still relying on burning fossil fuels for energy.

As they say, the road to hell is paved with the best of intentions.

It doesn't stop at the climate, either.

Why isn't there some kind of requirement on the packaging that tells the consumer which type of waste management system it should go to? It might not be feasible in the US, but what about smaller countries with a unified recycling system?

They have to translate and add nutritional labels in the local language anyway.

Ultimately only the manufacturer knows what exactly is in their packaging.

Hard to reconcile headlines.

Seems like there are frequent headlines like, "US will achieve 25% total demand using Solar/Wind" or "Germany had first day of 100% of power from solar/wind".

Then turn around and see this headline "coal at record levels".

What gives?

Is it a disconnect in how each article or study chooses to calculate a %?
Containers can and do remove the "it works on my machine" problem when you're on the same platform, and preferably the same OS exactly. The big deal here at least in my experience is the ability to completely replicate your environment, however you still need the underlying OS, because docker is not a VM.

It sounds to me like you're running a container on a massively different architecture and I think it's still pretty cool that it runs at all. Obviously when trying to run a game, which needs access to hardware and system calls beyond the use case of a simple CLI tool, running the container on a different architecture becomes more of a long shot.

I think given the circumstances it's actually kind of amazing you got this far, and if you're able to go all the way with your game with emulation, that'd be pretty cool.
> if you just made a groundbreaking discovery like this, wouldn't you care?

Hell no! If I had made a discovery of similar magnitude I would have done exactly what they’ve done: push out a rough preprint ASAP to reserve my Nobel prize, then take a deep breath, relax and take my time dotting ‘i’s and crossing ‘t’s for the real paper in Nature.

That doesn’t mean they’re correct, but there’s nothing inherently suspicious about the way this has unfolded.
