Go ahead and build out all the solar possible. Then not have any way to distribute it, balance the load, recoup the cost from customers, supplant new energy demand outside of a narrow band of peak sunlight hours. Then not be able to pay back all the loans you took on building it out. Then cause the state to pay for the defaulted loans. Then have the unmaintained infrastructure break down and become a writeoff. Then have the economy slowly go downhill due to wasted govt investments, lack of jobs, lack of new investment, and literally lack of power (a shuttered coal plant isn't a flip of a switch to turn back on).

It is not enough to merely fill bids for new generation contracts. There's this assumption that just because you build it, everything else will come. This is a dangerously shortsighted view of the world that only people hoping to win a quick buck on a stock price increase will sell you on. Anybody pushing this idea is vested in a green energy company.

A nation isn't a start-up. There are real-world consequences to running before you can walk. People need to come to grips with this or we're all gonna suffer the consequences.

Not a whole lot, but getting there. For now, we have:

- matrix spaces not hidden behind auth

- indexed by search engines

- chat channels

- subreddit like posts with nested replies, voting etc

- private invite-only spaces

Hoping to get voice/audio working soon, along with encrypted DMs. Experimenting with activitypub integration too.
Ah right okay thanks. The point still stands the Dockerfile and image is used as a container for your application and does not imply a manage-it-yourself server is being used.
Which is indeed why it's a terrible idea.

In my sample size of 1 I concluded this substitute didn't work years ago. And why can't I find an actual good antihistamine Doxylamine succinate sold separately anymore. New crap that doesn't work replaced old working products....
These people are just very paranoid. This is my field of work for the last 15 years.. people think way too highly of the govt capabilities and negatively on their goals. If we actually did 1/10th of what people accused us of our lives would probably be much easier.

This example is technically correct, but not appropriate. Since we are comparing pain to depression, the comparison should be for chronic pain not acute pain. Otherwise we would also be talking about curing grief and sadness with neurotransmitters, which clearly isn't a thing.

Getting a nail stuck through your foot is more like a close friend or relative dying. Having chronic pain is more like having depression (well, that and chronic pain very often leads to depression, and the reduction in opioid receptor availability may be somehow related, but that's a whole other thing).

The parent comment's point about opioid receptors becoming less available in chronic pain (and the linked article pointing out that opioids are generally terrible for dealing with chronic pain) is quite relevant here. Opioids kind of work at first for chronic pain, but they progressively work less and less and have increasingly negative side effects over time. There are certainly some parallels with many people's experience with some neurotransmitter targeting meds.

None of this means that GP is necessarily wrong about their assertions regarding SSRI and similar medications, but it is worth stopping to consider the possibility at least.
PyCharm is cheaper than Ultimate, and more focused on Python dev. It's far easier, in my experience to set up PyCharm or GoLand for a Python or Go project than Ultimate.

And yep, can run ancillary plugins to an extent, I don't think you can run, say, the Go plugin in PyCharm, for example, but JS/TS is out of the box IIRC.

Another thing I've noticed is that the IDEA Ultimate plugins tend to lag the features introduced in language specific IDEs for a bit.

JetBrains offer a multi-IDE licence that costs slightly more than Ultimate, worth looking into for polyglot development. But I went for Ultimate for our Python codebase because we're using a lot of FOSS JVM products, and super easy navigation around large JVM codebases to read code to understand some observed behaviour is very much worth it.
Why did we go from pre-rendered pages generated with multi-threading on a server to single threaded javascript sequential loading in the front end?
It shouldn't be 100x. We've built an LLM API at Anyscale, and the price comparison works out as follows (per million tokens)

- Llama-2-70B: $1 (on Anyscale Endpoints [1])
- GPT-3.5-turbo: $1.50 - $2 (OpenAI [2])

That's how all their IDEs work. It's all the same software with different sets of allowed plugins.

I would also argue that their IDEs are largely mature, feature-complete software. I'm quite happy they haven't succumbed to the modern trend of reorganize all the menus every 6 months.
I was thinking about this the other night. Is there really a solution to this? Best case scenario lets say you have a hardware key and everything is sealed up really well. You get your phishing call but instead of asking for a MFA code they have a real time IA enhanced video call from your daughter or mom with a gun to her head and they just walk you through a set of steps that will expose your IT systems. Do you do as they demand with a loved one’s life at stake? Or maybe it’s a scam? What do you do? You have 5 seconds to decide. Me? I go John Wick on them but I’ve had more than 5 seconds so that doesn’t count.
What are you talking about? You can't write a custom client and the official one is closed source. Scraping chat history is also against the TOS and get get you blocked.
It can, but Apple puts in a security chip to prevent you from doing so.

> the IntelliJ module system (read: project structure) can be a chore to deal with when I’m just doing something in Python or Javascript.

Bingo. That's the most fiddly difference.

On the plugins though, I've successfully used the Go plugin in IDEA, but haven't compared it to Goland to know what I'm missing out on.
One trouble w/ things like Discord and IRC for support or community building is that frequently you get somebody with nothing better to do who "leans in" and spends more time (all the time) logged in and ends up being the face of your forum for new users.

Again one of these things that web extensions could do so much with, make work so well. And where especially on mobile that would just be so capital.

But of course Chrome refuses to allow extensions. There's some excuses that are over a decade old now, about it having a risk of increasing battery drain or taking up cpu. To me, these justifications seem woefully out of date; phones are so much better than they were a decade ago. We can empower users. We should empower users. We should make it the user's agent.
It's authoritarian for sure, but not Fascist. Fascist regimes have historically been quite OK with drug use so long as it serves their ends.
I have some experience with a comparable platform. In a typical CouchDB/PouchDB design, syncs and offline work are common and easy, and it's pretty close to database-based design if you get fancy with views and javascript-based logic.

For this project, I'd do:

* A database for each user (this is natural on CouchDB, one can enable a setting to create the user DB automatically when a user is created. The platform won't choke on many databases) - for some per-user data, like comments, if the user has already reserved a booking we can mirror booking data there + some info regarding the hotel.

* Common synced databases - some general info regarding the platform and hotels. Preferably not too large (IIRC there's no limit to attachments with 3.x, but it sounds risky). Anything too large we'd do online or use data provided with the application.

* A large booking database which isn't synced and must be modified online with a REST call - we don't have to allow every action offline. Here I wouldn't entirely dispense with API. This obviously needs the online component for making sure bookings don't conflict. Could even be a regular relational database.

I think it is possible to implement this the CouchDB database-way: a provisional offline reservation to the user database followed by some rejection method on the server when syncing, but I don't think there's much value to the user here. This design however would allow us to not sync all the data but a much smaller portion while supporting offline.

It sounds very doable, rather similar to a project I was involved with, but I miss SQL a lot with that platform (javascript NoSQL not my favorite to work with). A sqlite-based approach is an interesting alternative.
But not the billionaires and not their subsumption of the electoral process, government, and, by extension, the IRS with selective, gamified exemptions and complicated tax rules... it's bullshit complexity and obsfucation like Enron.

Every time anything breaks in macOS, people come out to claim that the Mac is dying and Snow Leopard [which shipped with a bug that deleted lots of users' home folders] was the one true version. This wouldn't have happened if Steve Jobs were still alive. Netcraft now confirms that the BSD-based macOS is dying.
Start each note's name with the date. I use a system-wide auto-expanding shortcut with this format:

Otherwise, just write what you want to remember and don't worry about structure or tagging. That's what search is for. The date is only important so you can sort them by the creation date (which otherwise is lost across file systems).

I've been doing it that way for over 10 years now, starting with nvAlt and similar editors. It works great and it's easy to find things.
Yes sorry, think I got confused about the store rev share, which I think is 12% now anyhow. :)
For me it was a BB Edit license. Despite using VS Code for 90% of my projects, I still found myself using it for quick edits, or viewing of files.
It's like that on a FOSS project Slack I'm on. He's not the most... ...personable person, and tbh I think it's a control thing.
> Curious, why Sublime Text in this day and age of VS Code dominance?

I don't know if it's still the case as I generally don't need to do it anymore but VS Code (and other Electron-based editors) used to struggle with large files.

I know it's not very common use case but I did need to open large log files (from 100MB to even gigabytes range) and such in the past and that's where ST really shined.

Well put!
This article (and the comments here so far) don't mention Discord Forum Channels which solves the two actual usability/discoverability concerns listed

Forum Channels FAQ: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/6208479917079-...

Forum Channels are a type of channel that's structured as a more traditional forum. It's similar to channels that tried to enforce that everything is a thread, but much better.

* The top level shows posts only - no standalone messages

* Selecting a post opens the thread to the right - it's very easy to browse posts and threads

* Posts are sorted by date or most recent activity

* There's a tag system and you can quickly filter by tags

* There's a combined new/search field so you're forced to see search results

* Your active post threads show up in the left nav section like other active threads, making it pretty easy to see new replies.

I don't know if it's the best forum system ever, but it's pretty good and it's right in Discord. And like another poster said, our users want Discord.
I found that part of it is the informality of it all. There is no expectation that someone will search the chat history for an answer. When you don’t get an answer, but someone after you does, you can ping on it maybe once more. Those who don’t know the answer might chime in with “hey, I don’t know but look there”

In general it has a much lower barrier of entry. With all the good and bad that brings.

For the record I think it’s a miss in general. But YMMV.
They aren't asking to bring their PHDs or material science people... my understanding is they are asking to bring project managers, foremen, construction workers, pipe fitters and electricians.

I live about 10 minutes away from the plant and anecdotally from what I can see of the Taiwanese employees, most seem to be people who are in jeans and cotton work shirts... not button downs or polos.
Yeah, I’m pretty certain you didn’t read the article very closely, because the suggested reading time by Substack is 17 minutes and you commented on the article 10 minutes after I posted it.

If you had read the article and engaged with it, you would have seen this part:

Thinking about it more, I think we can divide liminal spaces into two broad types:

Architectural liminal spaces, in which we are physically moving from one place to another. They include hallways, airports, roads, and other places we occupy temporarily while we are en route to a more important destination. As such, movement-based liminal spaces are defined primarily by built structures in our environment.

Time and Status liminal spaces. These can be considered two subcategories of the same general idea: spaces where liminal life moments occur. They are defined less by the physical layout of our environment and more by events in our lives.

Time-based liminal spaces, which we occupy for a period of our lives while transitioning to a new stage of life. The transition from childhood is a common example: playgrounds, classrooms, toy stores, and arcades are spaces we occupy during the process of moving from child to adult.

Status-based liminal spaces, which we occupy while undergoing a change in social status. For example, a church during a marriage, in which participants enter legally single, perform a ceremony, and leave married. Or, in army boot camp, where participants enter as recruits, undergo intense training, and leave as soldiers.

This is the only place I mention playgrounds, as a part of theorizing (“I think”) that liminal spaces can be considered metaphorically as well. That’s what people do in essays: they think out loud, they speculate. Especially about very slippery concepts like liminality.

I argue that they are liminal spaces because yes, they are not destinations in the broader picture of our lives. They are steps in the process of growing up. From the perspective of an adult, the playground is a space representing the time before a major change - being an adult. That is pretty much textbook liminality.

These are hardly “examples of extremely non liminal spaces,” as you claim.

This is probably also why playgrounds and malls are so often used as examples of liminal spaces online. I discussed this later in the article, which I assume you didn’t read.

Next time, maybe try reading the article and thinking about it for at least a minute before jumping in for a quick middlebrow dismissal?

1) The implication of my statement wasn't that social programs would solve the problem single-handedly, but that they're more effective than enhanced law enforcement spending.

What do police have to do with the effectiveness of social programs? A fundamentally ineffective social program will be just about as ineffective no matter how much funding it gets - because the problem they are approaching isn't one that they can solve.
I do. Why would I entrust my data to external black box servers I don't control? Besides, iCloud is sync, not backup.
I'm in a few FOSS chats, and I tend to find there's a lot of people who a) need an answer right now and b) need relevant information pried out of them with a crowbar.

And then they'll DM you if you look helpful.

I do appreciate the ability to on interact in real time, compared to mailing lists, but yeah, it tends to attract a certain segment of "whatever it takes to ship" instant gratification devs.
I've paid for all of the Sublime versions since 2. I even paid for Sublime merge. I like supporting the team because they have consistent patches and really have built an excellent tool that I used for hours a day.

There are a lot of people talking about the VSCode plugin ecosystem but I've never lacked any plugins from Sublime. I just prefer the experience.

Once you have LSP setup it sings. There are also some underutilized features like workspaces and build systems that are really handy when you set them up. The snippets and macros system is also really nice.

I should also add that it is easy to build plugins for. The docs on plugins are a bit rough but there are lots of examples out there.

It is overall a really good editor experience

I'm a big fan of https://nodebb.org/ Full featured OSS forum you can self-host or let them host for you (for $).

Big fan of letting people use the search interface they want, which is almost always Google.
Steam's backup functionality could be used to handle this in advance. I don't think Steam could reach into a user's backups?
Lol, fair enough.
Codeine is what I ended up using in that one (thank goodness) case. It does work to suppress coughs, as well as other functions, like breathing! Watch the dosage.
But how do you verify the formal verification?
Same on both fronts. Not sure if VS Code has improved but it was basically unusable for large log files that Sublime basically opened instantly.

Have not had a reason to do that in several years so I'm not sure if it's still the case or not.
Yeah not really. We spend the average amount of gdp on defense as other countries. The issue is that other countries aren't paying for the protection they get from the us military. I believe canada's defense budget is 35B.
All the true believers will pony up for the more expensive iPhone, because titanium or some other kool-aid.
I did it last week and do it regularly. My (full) 512GB iPhone takes 40+ hours to transfer over USB, I presume to to lots of small files.
I don't self host anything except my NVR for CCTV, and a personal site on a cheap VPS using DokuWiki.

I suppose you could kind of consider SyncThing self-hosting. I make pretty heavy use of that to keep my music collection on both my phone and my laptop, and to keep small important files mirrored on all my devices.

I do want a NAS, but I have no immediate plans to get one, nor any idea of what tech I would use. Most likely a commercial WD or Synology to make things easier, or a device in the same kind of class as a Pi Zero W 2.

Hopefully there will be tech like SyncThing-lite again soon, that can make a NAS usable P2P without any manual admin.

Anything more than zero maintenance is too much, because I can't predict when something will have issues, and it might be while I'm away. The cloud alternatives have full time.

I don't tend to switch SASS a lot, because the big services don't really change much, except chat platforms, but I don't have much choice there. I don't know many people who use anything that even could be self-hosted.
I'm pretty sure SlateStarCodex coined the term, in reference to game theory. It's originally from an Alan Ginsberg poem, and I've never seen it anywhere else in game theory literature.

The game-theoretical term is a "Nash equilibrium", which is the state that reality ends up in if every participant follows their own incentives (i.e. no participant can improve their individual outcome by altering their decisions). It is possible - even very common in many real-life games - to end up with a negative Nash equilibrium. The classic example is the Prisoner's Dilemma, where the globally-optimal solution is for neither player to defect, but each individual improves their own outcome by defecting, and so what actually happens is that both suspects confess.

It's also possible to achieve a positive Nash equilibrium out of morally-abhorrent individual choices. Mutually-assured destruction is a good example. The game is setup so that if either superpower launches their missiles, humanity ends. Therefore, both superpowers have an incentive to avoid nuclear war, and we're still here.
So I was idly browsing shelves at CVS one night, the CVS nearest the university, I should say.

I found a few vaginal suppositories up on a shelf, god what was I doing in that aisle?

One caught my eye, branded Loyalty, so I plucked it off the shelf and turned it around to find its main ingredient is boric acid.
`ifuse` effectively solves the problem.
You can still do that. Just install the Rust (or any other language) plugin to IntelliJ. You can essentially build your own "jack of all trades" IDE if you want to.

IMO Unreal Engine is the best deal available and fits >90% of use cases for game developers. Unless you are building something for the web or low powered mobile VR I wouldn't even consider anything else. For PC and console games UE5 provides incredible amount of tools and flexibility. It's also great for building 2D/3D mobile games. People who say complexity of Unreal has stopped them from using it have gotten it wrong. UE5 provides you with a lot of tools, you don't have to use them all. But if you are thinking of building something more complex than a hello world example, you'd realize that the additional tools that UE5 provides you greatly save your time.

If you are a total beginner you can use Blueprints to write the game logic and use the existing out-of-the box tools. If you are a more experienced programmer you can use C++ to build custom components/plugins to get more customization.

I remember a time that game engines were these precious secret tools that you had to pay millions of dollars to get a license for. Now you can get the full source of UE5 on Github for free. And you pay something like 5% after 1 million dollars of revenue. This is just a no-brainer folks. IMO 5% is totally deserved and justified. In fact it's a bargain and you save money by paying Epic 5% compared to anything else out there. Use UE5 unless you have a really really really good reason not to.
I don't know enough to know if this one would work for this kind of usage but cheaper and easily accessible spectrometers would be amazing for harm reduction and drug testing usages.
