It's not impossible if I create a lot of assumptions about what I think you've said, what I think you've said sounds so stupid that I preferred to not offend you, and instead asked to clarify it to maybe have a civil conversation.

on the contrary, texas has some of the highest bulk rates in the world, only for short bursts

energy pricing is ostensibly all market-based here, with only spot and day-ahead markets whereas most (all?) other ISOs have year-ahead capacity auctions. the upshot for producers is that peak rates are capped much higher, around $10k here vs around $2k elsewhere. this worked for a while but renewables can often sell at near zero thanks to tax credits, so there's more volatility and destructive competition now. dispatchable producers stay competitive with a poor state of repair and a more selective approach to generation that favors peak hours. this is why in the summer we are constantly getting conservation notices but rarely have wide blackouts, as spikes to $1500+ are ordinary and we've hit $4000+ more than once this year
I'm sure that contributes but there's another side to the issue that drives it. Getting devs and especially commercial vendors to pay attention to the issue. It's become all to common place for vendors to abuse their bug reporting systems to minimize the impact of problems they can't or don't want to deal with like closing multiple reports as duplicates while ignoring the primary one. How often have people had to come on HN and post their issue here to pressure a vendor to address it? Unfortunately the social commentary dogpile has been one of the few effective methods lately.

Long term rug pull on CTOs who thought the cloud would somehow be better, easier & cheaper.

CTOs get lots of free credits, downsize their infra staffing.

Start using the basic building blocks, but then of the basic building blocks (servers & storage) are marked up and expensive.

Next, to find cost savings their org need to move deeper and deeper into alphabet soup of cloud vendor proprietary stack, at which point they are locked in.

I think this is a plausible line of thinking. My issue with the official story is that it feels stretched to cover too many datapoints. Like it kind of explains the data but not quite and indeed the obfuscation I’m detecting could just as well be coming from something like that as any new world order coup. tldr; Still fishy though.

Transducers do not require streams. You might want to learn a bit more about Clojure before poorly generalizing about this feature of the language. The OP did use streams to explore some specific applications of transducers. To say that they are overhyped is to be hung up on the buzz surrounding their initial release nearly 8 years ago.

This is completely untrue. Some of his family members suspect he was murdered by the US intelligence agencies for planning to curb their power. Given the intelligence agencies have even more power now than back then, and are still not held accountable for their actions, if they were indeed responsible for killing JFK that heightens the need for the public to come out in mass in support of candidates committed to breaking up or disbanding those agencies.

The approach to focus on underlying principles

Which it doesn't do. No combinatorics, no PLT related subjects, no queuing theory, or any of a dozen other 'underlying principles' you need to be passingly familiar with to really understand the things they are presenting. This only focuses on "underling principles" if you're view of CS is "how does my web browser give me cat videos".

rather than just specific tools

By jumping immediately into "Unix and C". So it doesn't do that either.

There's a lot of crap "DIY CS" out there, but this one is special.
Thanks for the feedback, fixed. I like to use a simple method to speed up my BTD loop when doing webapp work, which is to add a `meta refresh` tag. But that's inappropriate for deployment. Note that my site is very strict about 3rd party content (none is allowed), and about privacy (the only log is in a tmux buffer), so there's no reason for this behavior other than my forgetfulness.
Thanks for this insight. It’s a perspective I don’t have. Did you build the site? Is it performing as expected?

Chicago has tried this again, and again, and again. They keep dissolving each body when it fails to prosecute any officers and start a new one, which does the same. Almost every employee ends up being related to the police or SA and none of them want to find anything wrong.

Instacart to Target Much-Diminished Valuation Range of Under $10B in IPO
I think the suspicious stuff about the JFK assassination is not the shot itself, but the fact that Oswald had a friend and mentor who was a CIA handler and Oswald himself was inexplicably murdered by Ruby before any real investigation could happen. Ruby's offered explanation - that he wanted to save Jackie a trial, doesn't seem plausible.
> Arguably a conspiracy as well but that depends on our definition of "conspiracy."

Not a conspiracy in the more surreptitious sense that most people consider. It would bear all the same hallmarks though, and I guess that’s what sets off people’s radars
Okay, so I looked this up on Wikipedia.

And I suppose my next questions would be:

* "why were those managing the recount so inflexible about when the re-count had to be completed by?"

* "why wasn't there any middle ground that could have been achieved by those (ostensibly) asking for 'openness' and those wanting to do the recount?" --- for example, by this, I am imagining something like the police maintaining order amongst the viewing public, so that they do not physically harm or otherwise distract the re-counting officials, and having professional observers from both parties available to make rounds as the process is being executed?

Turns out building massive workforces on top of software business that don't require them isn't good business.

The big mistake most companies made is that they applied the old-school "Fortune 500" way of company building to software businesses (i.e., bigger is better). Humorous, because the promise of software was that it reduced the need for that behavior.

The end result is that they've built companies which ironically have great margins (or at least, should), but they burn cash like they're still in their seed round. Even worse, this behavior pushes out most of the early talent which means you need ever-more people to fill in the skill gap created by hiring lower quality talent. This also creates the problem of a once-great product deteriorating into mediocrity over time which also threatens grip on market share.

CJS makes an assumption that all of the main body of a module is synchronous including its imports and that the main body of all of its imports also ran synchronously prior to the main body of that module. A lot of CJS modules are built around side-effects during module loading, built on assumptions from the way that Node especially synchronously loads everything, that break in any attempt to make the process asynchronous. It's not just a matter of syntax sugar, it's a trouble of bad assumptions and presumptions in the CJS format itself that browsers have no way to paper over (but bundlers can fake by putting everything in the same file). Loading a new file is always an asynchronous operation in a browser. CJS has never supported that. Those problems were known at the time when Node picked CJS. (AMD was the competing format that worked in browsers. AMD had its own problems and was a pain to work in without tools like Typescript, but it was compatible with browsers. CJS never was. ESM imports are backward compatible with AMD imports but because AMD is mostly a dead format in 2023 no browser today actually implements the shims to support that, but they were on the table for a long time and can still be ponyfilled if anyone is crazy enough to have an AMD codebase in 2023 that didn't switch to a CJS-based hodge podge in Node at some point in the last decade and that they can't all-at-once migrate to ESM. Which in my experience mostly just describes what's left of Esri's over-reliance on Dojo's AMD loader for ArcGIS JS and just about nothing else in the wild in 2023.) This mess is all Node's fault and it should have never picked CJS in the first place, that was always the losing horse.

(Hypothetically there might have been a place and time in CJS history to force CJS require() to always return a promise and module.exports to always take a function that returns a promise and that hypothetical version might have been compatible enough to import directly from ESM. Nobody actually wanted that hypothetical "ACJS" so it never existed. ACJS could have at least met browsers half-way and might have made the transition less overall painful.)

At the bottom of pretty much every page here on HN is a link to the FAQ, here is the entry regarding this kind of thing:

> How do I make a link in a text submission?

> You can't. This is to prevent people from submitting a link with their comments in a privileged position at the top of the page. If you want to submit a link with comments, just submit it, then add a regular comment.
Do tell. What part of it are you skeptical about? That the greenhouse effect is real? That temperatures are rising? That extreme weather events will continue to increase in frequency and severity? That raising temperatures are melting the tundra and releasing more methane causes a feedback loop? That ice sheets are receding all over the world?

These all seem to be well supported by facts. I’m curious about what the seed of your skepticism is, what planted it what previously cherished beliefs it supports.
Deaths due to cold can only decrease so much (i.e. they can't go negative), so it would seem reasonable to assume that increasing deaths due to heat will surpass the deaths due to cold.

This is just a rant about some minor usability issues in a very small selection of applications used by the author, and mostly Gnome. There’s is nothing behind it.

The title is click-bait and the article is a waste of time.

There’s some very dubious claims, such as:

> There was a time (roughly between 1994 and 2012) when a reasonably computer-literate user could sit down in front of almost any operating system and quickly get to grips with the GUI, no matter what their home base was. Windows, MacOS, CDE, OpenStep, OS/2 and even outliers like Amiga, Atari and BeOS all had more in common than what set them apart.

Personally, having used many of these systems during those years, I completely disagree.

There is no further context or evidence to support this claim. It’s just “the premise”.

This is then contrasted with vague generalizations about the current situation:

> Today, it seems we're on another track completely. Despite being endlessly fawned over by an army of professionals, Usability, or as it used to be called, "User Friendliness", is steadily declining. During the last ten years or so, adhering to basic standard concepts seems to have fallen out of fashion

While there is no evidence for the claim that usability was better in the 90s, there are some examples to show that it’s worse now.

But these are more like pet-peeves, and there’s no evidence or theory to show why they’re good or bad, just more vague generalizations.

> Since Windows 2 (not 2000 - I'm really talking about Windows 2), users have been able to resize windows by dragging their top border and corners. Not so with Slack, anymore.

This is not the decline of usability. It’s the decline in respect for the reader.

There really was a time when a title faithfully represented the text that followed it, right? It must have been sometime around 1994.

They are usually reflective out of band, for unifacial (ito on semiconductor on a metallic backing), so ~40% of the radiation is heading back to space, vs 10-20% for a typical roof.

However... that means they don't radiate well at night (they have low emissivity and are not well thermally coupled to the roof). Painting the roof white is ideal.

I'm not sure if I can blame the BBR, when it seems that 1) those doing the recount were remarkably inflexible about the deadline (what matters more? the deadline, or the recount, especially when it is being disrupted?) and 2) those who supplied the deadline were also being remarkably inflexible about the deadline.

The fact that BBR worked is only because those two points were true?

"This kind of discussion is really only interesting from a historical perspective. It doesn’t really have any bearing on modern politics or society."

That's like saying how rise of Nazism was just an episode in history that can and should be forgotten.

A lot of people have valid reasons to believe that deep state was responsible for JFK's death. If their fears are confirmed to be true, then that must have huge political impact on the current US establishment, considering how CIA still has too much power.
This is complete nonsense, right? SaaS prices have nothing to do with input costs --- prices are plucked out the air (or from somewhere else...) based on some guess about what the market might bear vs aspirations for volume. Then, once the smoke clears, you jack the price up a bit in order to buy a new boat.

> Google also "gave away" their Gmail service for a long time, destroying the many mail services that ISPs and others were doing as part of their offered services.

Back in 2000, I signed up for several web based email services including excite, yahoo, hotmail, and a few others I can't remember. This was well before gmail and none of them required me to have an invite to even sign up like gmail did. Other than hotmail, and yahoo, none of them are still around today despite the fact that they were giving away email services like gmail did a few years later.
By whom? And did they consider it successful?

True. And you're likely to lose your team's trust to. If employees see a leader telling white lies to potential customers (or to anyone) they're likely to ask "I wonder what white lies they're telling me?"
Not done, nor designed yet BUT I plan a certain refresh of my "desk":

- I do not need a desk to use my desktop, so I'm looking to build a kind of "wardrobe" on wheel (see after why) that will contain two desktops easily accessible on the back, my new main monitor (34.1"/21:9) and a secondary vertical mounted one (27" 16:9), inside the rest of such "small wardrobe on wheel" structure I've put a classic UPS, few extras (like my not-so-much-used-anymore laptop on the back, cables and so on), a compact laser printer etc all connection TO the wardrobe: just a power cord and a cat6A cable. FROM the wardrobe a usb cable;

- separated from it my standing desk, reduced in size, to have a place for keyboard, trackball (both wired, I do not want wireless ones), a "conference bottle" (poors man Meeting Owl, meaning a "bottle with mic, speaker and cam") and few extras;

- under this system a simple magnetic treadmill (so I can walk and stop without having to touch anything, even if I need a small angle to use such system) and a tipper chair that when I want it, it goes over the treadmill, when not in use remain behind.

My target is having a standing desk (done, but not as I wish) where I can:

- "walk" starting and stopping when I want, no buttons needed, no fixed or not so quick to regulate speed;

- being sit when I want, with the minimum effort, so I can switch in few seconds without moving much stuff around;

- a complete hand-free setup (done, but not done for cam) while I'm still far from the monitor.

Perhaps I've build a good enough prototype in few months :-)

The randomness depends on the perspective - I'm sure that for the people in power or in the know it was not random, but to a random peasant/worker in Germany, it probably seemed pretty random.

Same as stock market investing - you can say that the profits are due to smart investing, but you can't ignore all of the centralized decision makers that put their thumb on the scale (i.e. 2008 bailouts?), which preference specific outcomes. In fact, this intervention makes the resulting disparate outcomes worse than random in the eyes of many people (i.e. people are more willing to accept the winner of a random lottery than a lottery that they believe was rigged).
That's a big jump from one questionably positive benefit to a blanket "good for the planet".

Do you accept or deny the desirability of on-ship genome sequencing equipment?

Nobody knows the sum total of all observations made by mankind. If one can effectively sequence immediately, one can quickly how novel the genome is, and if its not novel, if its a novel lifestage.

On the way to land the specimen (if alive) may die, or (if dead) be consumed and rot on the way to land.

If the species or closest known artificially sustainable life-form can be identified on-ship, probability to keep it alive can be increased.

I don't doubt they are working to identify it, and I wouldn't be surprised if they already did (perhaps on-ship). What disturbs me is major popular science platforms are pro-actively feeding mysticism and trolls by staying mute on the most obvious next logical step.

I do not at all assume it is standard: I assume the number of nation-state actors investing resources in exploring the deep sea ecology (to this depth) constitutes a very small list. So by no means can any of this research be taken for granted and assumed standard. The mere activity of this type of research is already non-standard.

Genome sequencing equipment has been highly miniaturized and become a lot more affordable. So yes, I do expect a wet-lab on this vessel to actually have genome sequencing equipment. If not, I think the researchers have a right to lament it publically.
