This is false. They're not supposed to leak. "Replenish gas reserves" is not a regularly scheduled maintenance item. In fact it's illegal for a technician to add refrigerant more than once without identifying and repairing the source of the leak. Unless you did something stupid like tried to install a split system yourself.

If your unit leaks refrigerant it needs to be repaired. This is not normal.
Tbf when I said vim, in my head I meant neovim, which supports Lua. I'm aware they're quite different, and that's on me for not being specific.

My main reasoning is precisely the opposite reason as your sibling comment mentions - I have no interest in my editor supporting barely tangential things like web browsing, email, etc. The ability to spawn a terminal is nice (and mine can do so), but my terminal (Kitty) can also easily split itself and switch context between nvim/terminal so it's not critical.
Where's research on passive thermal management (materials acting as heat phasors kinda) ?

The reason I'm sharing this episode is the format (also that this is Douglas Adams :D). I've never seen quite anything like this.

They have Arthur, Ford and Marvin! form the Hitchhiker's Guide TV Series and the Electric Monk observing the interview. Arthur discovering this "author chap" called Douglas Adams who he thinks might be his biographer and Ford trying to reason through his findings!

They have Marvin and the Electric Monk discussing what Douglas would say next in the interview!

Cannot imagine the effort that is gone to produce a show like this, and I wish there were more.

Edit: Sadly, the video only has the right audio channel, temporarily switching to mono audio out will help.
In theory it is not possible to report 100% accuracy here, as I do not have to reveal my gender or race to the company I work for, correct ? That is unless not specified is a category.

I personally feel like it is not the companies business to know this about me. Is there a legal requirement around this ?
What a strange thing to have this feeling about.
I don't think a year with 54 days above 110 degrees "eclipses" a year with 53 days above 110 degrees. In fact, I'd say it was not at all noteworthy.

Like ericjmorey says below in another post: "This would make it unsurprising to see this record broken within 49 years."

Hardly news! Snooze!
According to wikipedia (and it's source) vulcanoes are at about 1/10th compared to humans (as in, we dump it into the atmosphere 10 times as much) and wildfires about 1/25th compared to humans. Note: data from before 1995.
Not sure if it’s a common pattern, but my solution to this was to always run a command that deletes all “unexpected” files, using GNU Make’s “shell” function to enumerate files and the “filter-out” function to filter out “expected” outputs. Edit: I ensure this runs every time using an ugly hack: running the command as part of variable expansion via the “shell” function.

R-410A is being phased out in major markets including the US too over the next few years (R-22 has been banned for new equipment most places for more than a decade, and is banned entirely in the EU since 2015 for recharging existing units). My Mitsubishi air to air heat pumps (one from 2015 and one from 2018) were already R-32 (GWP 675, Ozone depletion potential 0) and my air to water (Sanden, installed 2022) is R-744 (which is CO2 - obviously GWP 1)

You don't need a solid argument to have doubts, you need to hear a solid argument (or more accurately, several of them over some period of time) not to have doubts, and even then you should be checking and doubting your own assumptions.

Not everyone is a scientist or an engineer. You don't have to be an idiot to read the above statements and have your main takeaway be "they don't know for sure so they guessed" and it's completely reasonable to still have doubts based on that.
You realize that would cause countless death _today_ if you don’t replace the oil with something else? People will starve, become homeless, and maybe anarchy will reign. Not just in the developed world but globally.
If it were truly a CYA move, shouldn't it mention any & all audio? Conversations were not listed by Mozilla, but surely that would be extremely privacy-relevant, for example.

I do think the data collection method seems puzzling, but if it were as simple as audio, I think that's what would be mentioned.

Can't edit my own thread, my point was that Erlang has a runtime and GC which is the opposite of low latency, what Erlang/Beam good at is predictability ( latency wise ).

If you trully want low latency you need to use C/C++.

Aluminium smelters already adjust their electricity consumption throughout the day to take advantage of changing power prices.

For a fraction of the US federal debt we could have gone full nuclear.
I know. That’s why I said it looks slightly similar and behaves differently.
Especially when the original claim, "the energy required to pump it through would offset any capture" is not just wrong, but wrong by a factor of 50 for electricity production from natural gas.
We spent 25 years in Prescott, which is 1.5 hrs NW of PHX, and is at 5000+ ft. Due N. a couple of hours, Flagstaff 7000ft. We thought that the weather in Prescott was fantastic: 4 seasons, half dozen 2 day blizzards that melted in 3 days, and July-Sept monsoons keeping the highs under 90F. Flagstaff OTOH, brrrrr. True fact: in late spring early summer Flagstaff is occasionally the coldest place in the US (outside AK).

Most people don't realize that Phoenix and Tucson, where nearly all the people are, are not at all like the 2/3 of the rest N and E.

The "why" (motive) is the most clear part: JFK was not willing to invade Cuba and depose Castro. To say this this really pissed off the DoD, CIA, Mafia, and Cuban rebels is putting it extremely mildly. They hated JFK with a murderous passion.

Cloud services are sold on the basis of an exchange. I build my product, or my entire business, on your cloud platform, submitting to a huge amount of risk by doing so. In return, you promise to minimize my risk by being a trustworthy and reliable steward of that platform.

Cloud platforms are a lot like banks. The value proposition of a bank is not that they store your money: my mattress can do that. No, the value proposition of a bank is that it’s a safe and trustworthy place.

There is some second-order thinking involved. If I believe that other businesses are questioning the future of a given cloud platform, then I might decide that I need to start migrating to another provider sooner rather than later. If everybody decides that they need to migrate then it could make the platform actually unprofitable. Like a bank run. Only there’s no FDIC protection for cloud platforms.

Google clearly just doesn’t give a shit what people think of their cloud platform. That’s scary. It means they don’t understand that they’re in the trust business. They truly believe that they’re just selling computing services.
I think it’s because GCP isn’t profitable and so they don’t want a loss leader for a product line that isn’t competitive with their other internal products.

Typically you don’t want loss leaders for things that aren’t strategic or very profitable.

Google is not a cloud company. So this is probably just reallocating resources toward more important things.

I bet if domains was a loss leader to AdWords it would stick around.
It is, though. You're free to continue using an HVAC system with R22 today. You can even refill it with R22, albeit at the expensive price of current R22.

This actually just like a car. At some point maintenance cost exceeds the value of the car and it is no longer feasible to continue keeping it. So you scrap it, or sell it to someone else.

If you're frequently refilling an old HVAC (R22 or otherwise) it means that it has a leak. And that's precisely the thing that the EPA wants people to not do, since it's damaging to the environment. HVAC units should never leak, ever, if they are working properly.
Why would this ever be the case? The planet is 2/3s water
Apple’s iCloud+ plans (starting at $1/mo) include email hosting with custom domains. I moved my family to that a couple years ago and it’s been fine. See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212514

Everyone in my immediate family has 1 or more email addresses in our family domain, and I have a couple of fun/project domains their too, for $0.00 above what I was already paying for iCloud.
Landlords are the people that own the property and take profit for it. Sometimes they manage the property, in a lot of cases they don’t. Sometimes they are corporations, sometimes they aren’t. In any case they are collecting rents and taking profit from those rents solely by virtue of owning the property.

In the alternatives I mentioned, co-ops and government, neither of those entities need profit. Co-ops are just owned by the collective of the residents. They would pay their rent in order to pay off taxes and utilities and maintenance expenses.
I don't use Python, but AFAIK the differences between Python 2 and 3 and the effort needed to upgrade are higher then ESM vs CommonJS. But that's not relevant anyway; I'm not saying the upgrading to ESM-only is easy, I'm saying in the end, it's easier than trying to support both module formats.
"Bad faith actor" is different from someone who is simply unfamiliar with the material, uneducated, or skeptical for good faith reasons.

Bad faith actors will act in bad faith, we all know that. But yes, you should go out of your way as a scientific body to explain your conclusions to good faith skeptics and people who want to understand your material. And I think that bar goes higher the more bad faith actors you have in your field.
Maybe not your experiences, but, to me, their transmissions:

* hastened the inevitable transition away from manual gearboxes in cars

* gave a bit of a “last hurrah” to ICE powertrains in general

Quick-shifting, gobs of gears, lockup torque converters, and reliable to boot. I don’t hear the word “slushbox” being thrown around like it was previously to describe automatic transmissions. And I credit it mostly to ZF.
So, you’re saying the models that have been used and refined over decades have been wildly inaccurate? It’d be interesting to me to see that analysis. Maybe it’ll change my mind.
> Sure, if you want to fade into history as an ultimately irrelevant ad network that simply had the novel ideal of tying ads into internet search early on in the internet’s youth and became popular and rich for a decade, then take this stance.

The problem with any current leader is that they do want to do this. Or, rather, they don't care if they do. Who cares what Google will look like in the long run? They'll be gone. Right now, they presided over the appearance of continued growth, and that's what matters.

(I have no internal knowledge about Google, of course, but I am at a university, whose plan is (1) attract more students, (2) more students, (3) more, (4) start thinking about what to do with all these students.)
Free publicity for Starfield. :)
> In general, though, particularly for highway driving, it's a system that works well.

That depends on the highway. If it's a limited access motorway, like the interstates, Autobahn, or M-class then sure. Perhaps not coincidentally, that is where the right lane rule you propose is mandated.

Otherwise, it fails often. Reality is messy.

If you truly want to make the roads safer, follow the posted speed limits. (Energy follows the square of the speed.) Also, always ensure you leave enough room to stop (the "2 second rule").
Sounds like what will actually happen _tomorrow_ if we don't act radically _now_.
Their stock price reflects their ad moat, and nothing more.

In my opinion, their stock price is the least interesting. They are coming around on the other side of an upswing and seem poised to be headed back down towards their pre-COVID normalization of around 90 dollars. Compared to Amazon, it's disappointing, and Microsoft is in another galaxy in comarison. With no real option for growth, considering they simply cannot be trusted to launch a new product, it seems like the early feedback is this will also hurt their cloud business as customers simply cannot trust them to maintain new offerings.

They'll do what they always have done: survive off ads and YouTube. But I am not sure how many more percentage points they can squeeze out of those two. People are already starting to catch whiff that their search engine results are not what they used to be. What will happen then?

If history is doomed to repeat itself, they'll do what their predecessors have done: get some Harvard-style MBA types in the building to "optimize", jettison all the excess baggage, and keep the cash flowing into their investors pockets, while they slowly lose whats left of their reputation and ability to innovate.

I suppose they have enough patents to troll on for the next 25+ years or so. Just like some other 3 letter company we may know about that once was a tech giant.
> What has happened that our web browsers use 2G of memory and are slow!

They are much more complex - ridiculously so - both because of the constant evolution of web standards and because of everything they need to do to keep what they execute in its own sandbox.

It doesn't help that the actual content being served just keeps on bloating. Think back to the average web page in the early 2000s: it was probably still browsed over a 56k modem, CSS was starting to get support, and if it might have had a few inline images it was still mostly text embedded in plain HTML. Web apps were CGI, JS was used sparingly, and people were still using frames.

Those pages were positively anemic when compared to what we sling around nowadays. 1 MB used to be a lot of data, and it just isn't the case anymore. You have layers of abstractions piled up on each other, isolated from the rest of the system as much as possible, slurping in, parsing and rendering multi-megabyte compressed, encrypted blobs.

But yes - it is a shame. We are doing so much more to achieve pretty much the same thing, and I keep on asking myself if we really need to.
AWS definitely has a domain registrar, although I believe they subcontract. Azure subcontracts to GoDaddy. Both still provide the service.

Just a shout for Porkbun.

Not directly domain related but they replied to me direct on something and great - humans there.
This is changing, slowly - airport leaders today recognize the value of innovation for customer experience and are making moves where possible to back out of such models, plus welcoming local business, although the difficulties of operating in an airport environment does still lend the environment to larger players, or smaller ones operating through a middleman. KATL and KMSP are two that come to mind for me. Entrepeneurs should definitely consider reaching out to airports that are locally managed - often their hands are tied due to contracts, but those will time out someday.
Thanks for clarifying!! The Oil vs. Lithium industry competition issue makes sense.
The issue IS the short term span. Nobody is complaining about ACs making cities hotter in winter. The issues comes from the fact that AC rejects heat from buildings when it’s already hot outside. It renders the city unbreathable in summer.
Have been using notebooks as a testing ground for all my python related code and seems interesting to be able to transfer this over to an API

Would this be something that can be moved to production as well?
I was in Sasebo, Japan in the early 1980's and remember buying cold coffee in a can from a vending machine similar to buying a can of Coke in the States.
The service is named Calcapp, an app builder for spreadsheet-savvy users (https://www.calcapp.net). The codebase weights in at half a million lines of code and documentation, with lots of generic utility libraries I have written over the past ~20 years, in Java and JavaScript.

I don't think that releasing the user-facing app creator and runtime libraries under a permissive license would be smart. However, I would still like that code to be out there, and for the utility libraries to be available for anyone to use under a permissive license.

The one downside I can see myself is that by making the source available, we might reveal security vulnerabilities. Sure, security through obscurity is not a good idea in and of itself, but revealing that we haven't updated a key, vulnerable library might still be problematic.
What? I’ve never heard of a system that (with proper installation etc.) needs to be replenished anything like that often! Where are these brands you’re talking about from?!

Car air conditioners maybe, but it seems unbelievable for fixed systems of any reasonable quality…

Google will eventually kill all products that do not help them sell ads. Keep that in mind.

If a single dev ignores the license and spins up the code he can outcompete you on price; Then what? Throw money at lawyers to sue someone in a foreign land? The whole idea behind SaaS is that people can't copy-paste your cd-rom and give it to their friend.
One thing I never understood, that "Miranda rights" are celebrated as some sort of civil rights victory in the US.

It's actually not great that everything you say will be used against you. Ideally, police should not be belligerent hateful scumbags eager to pin any crime they can at you. That they have to announce that they are, isn't really helping much. I wonder if it actually makes it worse - that they have come to see it as their right, their right to nail suckers who make the mistake of seeing them as fellow decent humans.
Just read "doesn't matter" as "I'm not very interested in history" to get a more clear picture of who you're talking to.

It's true that it doesn't have a huge impact on modern life but it matters a lot to anyone who is interested in having an accurate view of history.

GCP still has domain management via Cloud DNS. That isn't going away. This is just domain registration. I say this as someone who uses Google Domains and GCP and is upset at this decision.
“Not supposed to” is a very weak condition in manufacturing these days.

Not to say that we shouldn't reduce our consumerism, but not by lowering our living standards. It would immediately harm if not kill the weakest/poorer segments of every Country's population.

We've had a warm few days but overall its been a pretty wet summer in the UK. Last year was warmer.

Re the chart - did temperature recording start in 1980? Can't we have the temperature that is on record (ie back to 1880 or whatever), if you are going to claim this is the hottest on record... Stuff like that is suspicious.
> So we should just tank our own economy while being unable to do anything about our neighbors?

Yes.
It's debatable if it'll be much of a boom anywhere in the US.

Most uses of chips are in cheap consumer junk overwhelmingly made overseas for bottom dollar.

Second after that is actual serious uses for cars, not $1 electronics and more. And once you get into that category you have a finite market that is pretty much mature in terms of consumer reach. For all intensive purposes, the "EV demand surge" is over and existing semiconductors have caught up.

There's also a real fear that US sanctions have caused China and other countries to intensify investment in their own semiconductor manufacturing (the EU definitely is), which will ultimately hamper the demand for US fabs.
What if it immediately followed a streak of 36 days above 110F?

I mean, I've been running NES, SNES and GameBoy games on emulators (in Linux, natch) for decades now. Hell, I played through FF5 for the first time a few years back.

Edit to add: I also run DOS games like Ultima Underworld, Master of Orion 2, etc in DOSBox; things are already pretty good, but I will point out two other examples to argue for releasing of source: Jagged Alliance 2 and NeverWinter Nights. Both games released for Linux, but only JA2 had a source release eventually, and it still runs, because having source gives you that. Meanwhile, I still can't go back and replay NWN.
