Fun game. One thing I dislike about the grid system is how the range is defined as [start,finish). This probably comes from some lower-level implementation detail, but it would be far more ergonomic if the range included the end value. Typing `grid-column: 2 / 6` when there are only 5 columns just looks like a bug.
Your first paragraph contains a one sentence explanation they could have easily chosen and presented, but they didn't. That's the complaint.

> your proposal

I haven't made any proposals. My proposed alternative would be for the Welsh government to focus on much bigger problems that they may actually have a mandate for. The alternatives were just examples to illustrate the point. Ask yourself why 20 and not 25, if it helps.

> you generally need an excessive amount of evidence to get politicians to do anything

What an amazing country you must live in. For the schmucks like us in the rest of the world, we have the politician's fallacy. Something must be done, this is something, therefore it must be done. Evidence-based policy making is the exception not the norm :(

It may not be a step towards that. Ruby has guilds which is a very similar idea and they are explicitly not working towards removing them altogether at this point. Matz did a full keynote on the latest Euruku defending not working towards removing the whole of it. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WmhTMcnO7U&t=1244s for the full talk if you are interested.

I find the convergent evolution of features in these two languages pretty funny, as it is very clear that they don't really look at implementation details of the other language even if they quite often land on ideas that are pretty close in practice.

It is good to award subsidies to manufacturers when what they create is aligned with our country’s environmental or industrial policy goals.
Very cool, thanks for the links!

I'm jealous in a positive way that the Brits have managed to do that. There was some talk about trying to emulate them when it comes to some archaeological sites here in Romania, but apart from a couple of tries/mappings nothing systematic has been implemented.
Transflecrive are the best of both worlds. I don’t get why there aren’t that much interest in them?
How do wheeling charges work in schemes like this? If I have, for example, a fleet of EVs signed up for my VPP program and I want to sell battery power onto the open market I am putting a not insubstantial load on the local residential distribution systems that are not usually designed for this kind of power flow. Is this captured somehow in the financial model? Surely I don't get to ride that infrastructure for free?
The real exciting thing about Virtual Power Plants, is that they expose the cost information to the end user.

Like software reliability, additional 9s of service get progressively more expensive. Rolling blackouts on the hottest summer days are BAD and have costs associated with them, and peaking plants make a ton of money by running only a few days per year. It's almost the grid scale equivalent of having a gas generator so you can run extra window AC units because you keep tripping the breaker. Much cheaper to just turn the thermostat up a little bit and accept it being warmer, or turn off your cryptominers when the cost is that high.
Yeah I think that’s why GP is saying it’s a poor choice of name.
1. What are the 2 Chinas?

2. Re being more careful with negative statements -- they are clearly unable to do so consistently, see below:

[1] Look at the very clear headlines featuring "Iranian Government-Sponsored APT Actors" in https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa... and "Iranian State Actor" in https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa...

[2] Again, look at the very clear headlines featuring "Russian State-Sponsored" in https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa...

Why are they not equally 'careful' here? Why are they not using the country's "official" names such as IRI (Islamic Republic of Iran) or RF (Russian Federation)?

Note that I'm not even going into the rabbit hole of "PRC-Linked" vs "Iranian Government-Sponsored" -- although that is perfectly worth questioning also, because if you go into the actual article on Iran, they weasel out by saying "likely Iranian government-sponsored APT", whereas here it's only "PRC-linked" because we do not know for sure.
That’s a deep rabbit hole with a lot of naive people’s comments about capabilities from 15+ years ago.

Here’s another one with recent updates from the chief architect of metasploit.

> It never does any good

I do feel like it can help to break the herd mentality thing of "if it's already downvoted, downvote it more" by making people think about why they've done it
"Complete understanding" isn't a real objective. Understanding more than we knew before is more realistic, and yes, I'd say we understand more than we did before, if you take a sample every 5 years or so. Every 5 years is better and better. People keep working on it and always will. The alternative is giving up and stopping all research I guess?
A Volunteer Army Is Deploying Dirt Cheap Broadband in NYC
From the Emacs manual:

Searching incrementally on slow terminals, such as displays connected
to remote machines over slow connection, could be annoying due to the
need to redraw large portions of the display as the search proceeds.
Emacs provides a special display mode for slow terminals, whereby search
pops up a separate small window and displays the text surrounding the
match in that window.

Agreed. Though i do have Bing in the web UI, but i don't have any of those features in the iOS app hah.
The lazy and careless way in which popular science communication is performed is frequently counterproductive and foments anti-science attitudes in people who are inherently skeptical but not particularly bright. Unable to read and comprehend the actual paper, they focus on the pop-sci communications and find inconsistencies, exaggerations and omissions in those, then come to doubt science in general.

When somebody's primary exposure to science is through the headlines "Science discovers red wine is good for you" ... "Actually it isn't" ... "Actually it is." "Actually it isn't" ... how can we expect them to believe that scientists actually know what they're doing? We can say "well your iphone is amazing and science made that, so you should take the rest of it on faith" but that doesn't work on a lot of people. And perhaps rightly so; imagine the argument "Our priests are very good at predicting eclipses [true!], so you have faith when they tell us that sacrificing your child is necessary to ensure a good harvest."

If that’s true it’s insane that they didn’t try to solve the code explosion problem. Perhaps even a Google-specific DSL that captures their common patterns behind an abstract syntax.

Creating a new general purpose language with such a limited feature set - that it’s likely to result in even more code - seems to be an odd solution.

You classify them as *pedantic* skeptics, while I say their skepticism is well founded. I used to be experimental physicist myself and have followed how, in particular high energy, physics has been presented by practitioners for at least three decades. And after seeing how all that focus and excitement have been unfounded more than a few times, you do get jaded.

Consider what works. Then pick what’s most fun and move on from there. If you can complete your work with any of the languages, all are the sensible in a vacuum.

Are you trying to grow a team? Still arguable to choose whatever you are best at because you can grow that team.

> Nuclear has a fixed output, it doesn’t scale up and down the way fossil fuel plants do.

This is a very, very old, and very, very solved problem.

Today we'd solve it with batteries: Discharge when demand outstrips supply, recharge when supply outstrips demand.

In the past, nuclear power was often paired with pumped storage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage_hydroelectricit...

Today a lot of pumped storage facilities have outlasted the nuclear power plants they were built to support. Instead of pumping at night, they pump when there's excess solar or wind.

> My relatively new stance is that sometimes having an Emacs process that doesn't share the state is a feature, not a flaw.

That is a fair point, though not really fitting my workflow. (Also, my Emacs needs ~20 seconds to start, and I tend to have Emacs uptime of several days or sometimes even weeks.)

> I cannot stand using multiple frames on a non-daemon Emacs due to it not always being obvious when I close just a frame and when I close the whole process.

This is strange. In my Emacs, C-x 5 0 on the last frame results in "Attempt to delete the sole visible or iconified frame". (And I have `(setq confirm-kill-emacs #'yes-or-no-p)` in my init.el anyway.)

The Torah's 10 commandments are equally relevant. After the beatitudes, Jesus says:

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” (Mat 5:17, KJV)

He says that before giving more commands in the sermon on the mount (the next two chapters of Matthew), much of which extend the old law/10 commandments.
Wash trading was also described by Ben McKenzie on Bill Maher's show. [1] Another good interview on CNN [2] I am curious if these voices were squelched or people just wanted to believe in NFT's so badly they did not ask for investment advice from people knowledgeable in economics.

In Israel, the cooking beforehand is done even by many non-observant Jews, just because those long-boiling recipes or the preparation of a big meal by sundown on Friday became such a big part of both Ashkenazi and Sephardi culture. My own friends in Israel are non-religious (so much so that how much they despise religious people is a frequent topic of their conversation) but their Shabbat food rituals seem impeccable, and indeed it is at people’s Shabbat dinners that I have done most of my socializing when visiting Israel.
Thanks very much for the followup article! I suspected that sksksnrpny was correct, and that the direct forward construction given in the paper they referred to would be simpler than the ad-hoc backtracking search I did. But I needed to work through an example to be sure, and now I don't have to because you've done it for me.

Also I'm delighted that you remembered that Matthew P. Wiener thing from 30 years ago.

A personal preference is a personal preference, ofc, but what exactly are the actual benefits?
I was somewhat curious about what that first article had to say, but found it impossible not to be distracted by the constant G-d and L-rd. Presumably this is a workaround to deal with somewhere being told not to use the name of God or something.

This sort of hack around commandments and other holy decrees seems incredibly odd to me. Either you think it matters and obide by the spirit of it, or you don’t, in which case crack on and just say “God”, if there is an omnipotent being who cares deeply about this I doubt they’re going to be fooled by you running a quick regex on anything you publish.

I feel similarly about the various hacks used around the Jewish sabbath, as mentioned elsewhere in these comments. Great wires around entire cities are not going to make God think “ahh, got me there lads, you’ve turned Manhattan into one big living room”. And if you believe in the sanctity of the sabbath then it feels off to me to work around that by hiring a bunch of people who aren’t Jewish to work then instead.
> something more structured to convey intentions and ideas

I struggle to think of what this might be without it turning into some other natural language. For example, the tool that’s used to convey intentions and ideas in these comments is written English, which certainly has its own structure.

> But it's a big leap to go from "Pharma is driven by profits, therefore they should be put under more scrutiny" and "Pharma is driven by profits, therefore they are injecting us with 5G-enabled nanobots to enable mind control by the Council of Rome"

They are put under way more scrutiny than other industries. Or where is the FDA equivalent demanding phase I, II, and III trials for so-called self-driving? Or imagine a pharma company embracing the slogan "Move fast and break things."

Fine, but none of that is how the policies are being justified, which is what the actual complaint is here. It's not that no justification can be conceived of.

You don't get to kvetch about how boringly logical and evidence-based the explanations are so it's just the prole's being stupid, when the people creating policy aren't justifying their policies with evidence or logic in the first place.
