It's like learning to write but not wanting to learn punctuation. You might end up with the Ulysses but more likely than not you'd end up with something that other people and yourself won't be able to understand well when you look at it on the next day.

That said, I'm in the camp of curly braces (or equivalent) plus an autoindenter. Either a code formatter or the editor itself.

Braces and random indentation is the worst that can happen.
Are we reading the same paper? In the graph I'm looking at the axis where the model underperforms the doctor is labeled "No inaccurate/irrelevant information", which has nothing to do with making the correct diagnostic.

The three important axes "Answer supported by consensus",
"Possible harm extent = No harm" and
"Low likelihood of harm" it is performing really similarly to the doctors, probably similar to the graph a single middle of the pack doctor would have.

Are you reading a different graph or am I misunderstanding something about it?
If the prices are low because the quality of products is low, the treatment of workers is shit and any other negative environmental externalities are ignored, then low prices are actually a bad thing leading to artificially inflated demand.

I’m not saying any or all of this applies to Walmart or Amazon necessarily, but it’s not an unambiguous good to lower prices when it is not supported by all the reality around it.
I am confused by your conclusions :)

The reason growth is zero in your graph since 2015 is because lockdowns and other pandemic mitigations (+knockon inflation) were so destructive. It went from +4% from a 2015 baseline to -6%, and the "rebound" only recovered half of what had been lost. This is up to 2021, see below.

Growth before and after the Brexit vote was entirely unaffected by it, so it's impossible to claim that the vote itself led to any economic impact. N.B. the Treasury forecast a recession that'd destroy 500,000-800,000 jobs before any legal changes had been made at all, just from the uncertainty created by the vote. Clearly very wrong, therefore they don't really have the ability to do this type of economic forecasting and nor were they aware of this fact. So all claims about Brexit economic impact have to be taken with an enormous pinch of salt because economics, as a profession, doesn't have the claimed level of understanding. Alternatively, as the publicly voiced doubt by Kruger indicates, they know they can't make such predictions but are engaging in "motivated reasoning".

Anyway, that lack of any impact from the vote is why you'd have to look for impact in 2020/2021. But how can anyone separate out the different variables there? You'd have needed the economic situation to be perfectly normal in all other European countries, with Brexit the only thing that changed, to create a comparable situation.

> Literally all the other countries and the EU as a whole out performed us.

That data ends in 2021, when the UK was still very much killing itself with COVID mitigations. A more up to date graph tells a different story:

https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/GBR/united-kingdom/gdp...

https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/DEU/united-kingdom/gdp...

In 2022 UK growth rate was 4.1% - higher than the pre-Brexit baseline and much higher than Germany which returned to normal growth rates. So by playing this game I could argue that Brexit has clearly unleashed the Great British Economy. But I wouldn't do that because, again, Brexit is small potatoes next to the chaos unleashed by the public health community. Also at the level of these tiny differences GDP gets affected by things like bank holidays for the King's Coronation and other trivia.

Fundamentally, there's very little difference between the different European economies at this point. They are all vastly outclassed by what's happening in the USA. Arguing over Brexit is a pointless distraction given it apparently has such a tiny impact that it can't even be separated from other factors, and even if you assume otherwise, avoiding it could only have kept the UK in line with other Euro-area economies. But the UK needs to be matching the USA, not France or Germany.

The article says that they're "extending the technology so it will also be compatible with LEDs" but as you say it seems to be triggered by heat so I'm not sure how that will work, but it would need to given the phasing out of incandescent (and presumably halogen?) bulbs.

> Are mega-caps likely to be dominant buyers from the underwriters?

Underwriters will typically take the highest price there will be no preference for the "mega-caps". Underwriters float stocks every day, they need to keep happy their core investors who make every other deal happen - retail / pension funds. It would probably even be preferable, if there was demand from Amazon or some other mega-cap to give them 0 in the float and then they can bid up the price in the open market and make everyone who is allocated in the IPO richer.

~20% of the shares will be in the IPO, even if someone buys every share publicly available in the IPO they wont have a controlling interest.

You could just disable automatic updates on extensions. uBlock origin is a featured extension, so it's already audited.

MV3 is safer, but so is running no adblocker at all. There is a tradeoff. I get much more ads on Safari+AdGuard (iPhone) which uses MV3 or some similar declarative approach, than on Firefox+uBlock-Origin where I get basically none.

I still prefer to trust one extension like uBlock Origin, just like I trust other software packages on my system, and to really fend off all the web tracking nonsense.

No. The migration to CNAMEs has to do with the phasing out of third party cookies. The GDPR literally does not care about how the technology works.

This is just an educated guess, but . . .

Burning propane produces CO2 AND water. I think the missing bit is the energy required to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen before the hydrogen is used as an input to produce the propane.

The last paragraph explains:

> Unlike halogen and incandescent bulbs, however, LEDs release too little heat to activate thermocatalysts. So Kim's team is developing photocatalysts that are stimulated by the near-UV light emitted by LEDs, as well as other catalysts that transform part of the LEDs' visible light output into heat.

That is the other end of the spectrum. I'm not really complaining about public transport here in Munich (hey, one of the biggest cities in Germany) but only some subway lines go every 5 minutes, most buses and trams go every 10 minutes, and some buses and some local trains every 20.

I'm not saying "revolve my life around their schedule" is totally correct, but if you need to be somewhere on time, you usually take one bus earlier, even compounded if you need a bus to a subway station.

All I'm saying is that "I do not care at all, because every 3-5 minutes" is not every common at all.
Yeap I am way out of my depth here :)

This review is kinda misjudged. Like a Master of Wine reviewing a bottle of moonshine: dude this wasn’t made for you! Writing does seem a little like a start-up these days: write, assess the market response, adjust accordingly.

For my wedding I set up a "photobox" with AutoHotKey. I took a simple software to control my fiancees Nikon via USB and IrfanView on my Laptop.

I configured Irfanview to monitor a folder and always show the newest picture.

Wit AutoHotKey I made a simple GUI with 3 Buttons. Preview, Autofocus and "SNAP". Preview brought up the camera software in liveview mode. Autofocus triggered the Autofocus. "SNAP" brought up a large countdown, at 0 it triggered a photo. The it minimized the camera software and brought up IrfanView. After a few seconds it "reset" itself, so IrfanView got minimized and my button GUI got brought up again. My guests loved it and I saved hundreds of Euros for renting a photo box and I got great images out of it.
This feels brittle to me. I'd stick to creating layers by having separate root modules with their own state files (eg: in the example you could have a kubernetes root module that was shared across developers, and a buckets root module for the S3 buckets)

You'd then typically have multiple state files per root module applied with different tfvars to create multiple copies of the same infrastructure (eg: dev/stage/prod). Workspaces can help with this, especially when using terraform cloud.

As other comments have mentioned you can use outputs to share data between state modules, and to make this nicer you can wrap the remote state blocks in a module generated from the outputs so that you can get intelisense/autocomplete (though it's a bit annoying that you can't plan speculatively across state files where output changes are involved)

This page goes into a bit more detail about separating components of your infrastructure into discrete state files and talks about when (terraform cli) workspaces may or may not be appropriate https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/workspaces

In terms of creating the buckets per developer - I think there's a bigger question of do they need a bucket each or some larger subset of the infrastructure and this should guide how you organise things. It'll need to tie into your strategy around production infrastructure (eg: single Vs multi tenancy, and how you want to manage deploying to different regions).

An aside, but I'd probably argue that for development purposes sharing a bucket but having your applications accept a bucket prefix (giving each developer a namespace of sorts) in addition to a bucket name is simpler, and lends itself to quicker ephemeral deployments that avoid the need to change underlying infrastructure
So basically you decided to run your life in a fairly uncommon combination of factors, then based on it make strawman judgements about everybody else's reasons to own or not own a car, and in the end expect real world to follow these judgements. And you wonder why people assumed of you that "you've never been outside of the US" - it's exactly such attitudes which triggered their mistake.
> Are you just making stuff up? Not one of those quotes are comments are on the github issue

It's customary to assume other side is arguing in good faith and not making stuff up. I assumed you read all the comments, had access to Github, so you wouldn't have problems finding them. But apparently that wasn't the case.

It's hard to take this at face value when you mistook my quotes for outright fabrication. You either didn't read them all, or you convienently forgot the examples I cited.

Also nice micro-optimization comments is dishonest, apparently dtolnay felt the optimizations provided for his use case were strong enough to warrant a fix.
> This means that the solar power cannot provide enough power to charge the battery, although I am using a 60W solar panel for ~5W Raspberry Pi.

Just because there's "light" doesn't mean the panel will produce power. The sun has to shine BRIGHTLY.

This is why solar power in Berlin or London is a waste of resources, because the sun doesn't shine BRIGHTLY there.
In fairness, Page Rank and indexing are also… well, perhaps too big for a parlour, but they're (very good) tricks.

Is ChatGPT playing a trick on us by mimicking the sentience of the humans whose writings it ingested, or is the trick that by doing so it began to actually think like us and so simulates a conscious mind within?

I lean towards the former; but we don't know what sentience even is yet, so we can't prove it.
One of my fondest AHK memories was back when I created a bot for a runescape private server when I was younger.

DDIA partly goes into implementation details (for example, transaction implementations in popular databases), but the reasoning behind it is always rather fundamental. I think it's going to age well unless some breakthrough happens – but even then only that particular section would be affected.
That's why Autohotkey v2 exists, which is... AHK's own Python3 moment, since it was available for years. Well, ok, stable release was only like a year ago, but I don't see much adoption.

Talk about rapid incident response: they cut the power cable! (If it's a careful translation, presumably in contrast to just cutting the power.) It's interesting how priorities dictate whether or not physical damage is an acceptable way to fix a problem.

The hacker “showed a pornographic film for several minutes before we cut the power cable,” he said.
Possibly, but depending on the level of budgetary entrenchment it would prove difficult for some governments. In any case, a staged roll-out is more likely to succeed, with many hurdles along the way.

It's worth repeating that doing nothing increases overall societal costs if large parts of the population become unemployed, whether due to lower statewide income taxes, increased welfare costs, people resorting to grey collar work, and other secondary effects from increased displacement (lower consumer spending, rentals sitting empty, health epidemics, increased crime, etc.). UBI does not have to be a blanket instrument either: rather than income, we can focus on making certain goods and services universally available, such as access to food surpluses that would otherwise be overturned or basic internet access to enable people to remain connected without expensive contracts.

A solution may even exist beyond taxation: making reschooling and job pivoting more accepted within industry, lowering admission costs to tertiary education, or guaranteeing placement of employees when let go on account of automation or cost-cutting. What way the pendulum will swing remains to be seen.

You are excused.

In my opinion even though indeed you present facts neutrally, your choice of facts seemed intended to make it seem as though nuclear reactors being turned off is somehow something generally a problem with nuclear reactors.

In the same line of reasoning as before, if France and the rest of the world had continued their investment in a thriving nuclear industry then getting new talent might not have been such a pressing issue.
Chemicals in the diet and environment along with other environmental phenomena can switch genes on and off (gene expression) which can alter peoples appearance and habits.

Vit D is one such example of gene expression. "The actions of the vitamin D hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) are mediated by the vitamin D receptor (VDR), a ligand-activated transcription factor that functions to control gene expression" [1]

So with this in mind, and knowing there are bacteria that will pretty much survive in any environment, consuming minerals which reduces availability for human consumption, how much of a humans characteristics are controlled by diet and the environment?

I would say alot. For example here in the UK, over the last 50 years, I have witnessed the reduction of dense muscle and fat in Caucasians, which in extreme will make it impossible to swim as they sink, a phenomena still seen in Black people today. [2]

Our diets are changing, and due to global food companies, food store standardisation, seed companies, agrichemical and govt legislation, people have changed quite considerably in the western world over the last 100 years, simply from the change in their diet!

The Lack of Self-Deception
If she really felt this way, she would not have posted this. The piece is just as egotastical.
In the US, that's a contractor. Many contractors are called "consultants," but it's mostly because "consultant" sounds better.

Consultants are (in abstract) paid much more for their expertise, and engagements are much more limited. A contractor might work 40 hour work weeks for one client for years.

My experience is that the take-home pay is almost identical for all three. To give an example, at one point in my career, I could:

* Charge $600-$900/hour as a consultant

* Charge $125-350/hour as a contractor

* Charge $150k-$200k as an employee

On paper, that works out to >$1M, 0.25-0.75M, and 0.15-0.2M, respectively, if I worked 40 hour work-weeks. In practice, at least for me, net pay was very similar for all three:

* Consulting had many hours overhead for one hour of work, and clients would often cancel on short notice.

* Contracting had an even split between selling myself and working. Work came in spurts (either too much, or not enough)

* Employment was steady

Free markets converged to very similar net take-home pay. Contracting and consulting had much more diversity of work (contracts, marketing, etc.), more flexibility on side projects (startups, etc.), and much more volatility. Volatility can be good or bad. A dry-spell can mean time to finally go on that vacation or focus on that startup. Or it can mean a lost mortgage. It depends on your life stage, savings, etc.

As a recent grad, contracting worked well for me. As a Dad, I preferred employment. Late stage (no kids at home, and mortgage paid off), consulting seems like the way to go.
Computers are already better than humans at a wide variety of tasks. Text generation just happens to now be one of those tasks. But if you look at the prompt -> output -> prompt feedback loop, it's clear that the human submitting the prompts is still doing all the thinking. We're not yet at the point where the AI can prompt itself and improve its output in a logical manner.

Claims About ChatGPT’s Supposed Liberal Bias Are Wildly Overstated
That would be nice, but is often prevented by regulations. Essentially, the idea is that you might always get a car in the future (or move out and sell your home to a car owner), so the parking spot needs to be preserved for this possibility.

Now, depending on how strictly the rules are interpreted, this can mean that you need to provide an actual parking spot at all times even if you don’t own a car (and do not have to let anyone use it!), or you might be allowed use the parking spot for other purposes, provided your changes are easily reversible. (So planting trees or building a shed is off limits, but placing down potted plants and some seating might be fine – as judged by someone of your local authorities.) Having an actual garage might also be preferable as a non-car owner, as that can at least serve as dry storage space while still counting as a parking spot.

Last, the idea is still a bit inane. Japanese-style rules where you need to show that you have a parking spot when buying a car (instead of tying it all homes) would be much preferable in my book. But this is difficult, as there are still many places where streets are so old that cars did not yet exist when they were designed. (And the houses actually touch each other and the street, so there is no place where they could add parking.) These houses are usually exempt from needing to provide parking for their units. Doing it on a house-by-house basis instead of a car-owner-by-car-owner basis is just easier because of this.
