How does this whataboutism exactly help Ukrainians, again? I missed where the ‘U.S. bad’ narrative gives Russia permission to do whatever they want. You are basically changing subject here and say ‘Russia can do whatever they want because (yada yada) [someone did something somewhere as well]’.

I didn't write that you were, I wrote that I've gotten anti vaxxers to like vaccines with the same logic.

Its pretty clear that its coincidence that you didn't know your hypothesis was the basis of vaccination, regardless of your predilection.
Can you write them with iOS keyboard? Or when you say Apple Notes and chat apps you just mean from desktop?

Edit ①: seems the answer is not with the default iOS keyboard, but possible to paste it and perhaps possible with a third party keyboard that I'm not keen on trying (unless I hear of a keyboard that's both genuinely useful / better than default, and that doesn't send keystrokes to the developer - though I can't remember if the latter is even a risk on iOS, better go search about that next..)

Like the Oscars and Grammy's, the Nobel Prize is based as much on cultural significance as it is on the quality of the product.

Lobotomies also won the Nobel Prize because they were a cultural phenomenon of the day. JFKs sister got a lobotomy.

Eight new laptops from Acer, ASUS, HP and Lenovo.

I feel like pulled off right, this "shared ecosystem" approach across manufacturers can be very strong, and from a competition perspective is probably pretty healthy. That said, the "everything under one roof" pull of the Apple world is pretty strong.

I've been pretty happy with my Google hardware so far (Nexus and then Pixel phones, Nest minis, pixel buds), but now that I'm interested in a smart watch, I'm running into a bit of a wall. I want to want a Pixel watch, but it sounds like the integration with the Pixel phone is not all that great, and for a lot of fitness tracking you also need a separate FitBit account, and have to use a separate FitBit app (!) and it doesn't integrate super well with all my existing data in Google's own Google Fit app that I've got.

I know it's not fair to compare these ~$400 laptops with Apple's laptops, but it just seems like Apple is better positioned to pull off seamless integration between laptops, phones, watches, earbuds, etc, when they're not working at cross purposes with a dozen other manufacturers.

Then again, some people probably actively don't want all this integration? Maybe just a simple, standalone, cheap laptop is ideal for them, and that's who this is targeting.
"Such things".

Please answer the sibling question above, what is the difficulty in answering such a simple, clearly stated question? Why are you refusing to answer that and trying to change the topic each time?
Not really, it's more of a 'construct-a-box-to-have-an-argument-in' approach. E.g. one could go off laterally in many directions. We could say, 'easy immigration policy is a neoliberal plot to drive down wages in the USA to ensure that current wealth inequality is maintained' or we could say 'immigration is wonderful because it brings in highly skilled people with unique talents and perspectives that are of great benefit to the US economy', and so on. It's a complex topic with a lot of historical context and there are at least half a dozen ways to analyze it from a cause-and-effect perspective - just the kind of discussion that social media can't handle well.

The reversibility trick is kind of cute - but can anyone write a legitimate Python code statement that also works in reverse? I sort of doubt it, the function declaration has to come first.

> Grid operators are grumpy about needing to make this investment.

Boo fucking hoo. Grid operators have made absurd profits by running grids that hadn't seen an inspection crew for decades, to the tune that they regularly cause deadly wildfires. PG&E is particularly egregious here - the 2018 Camp Fire was likely caused by a broken C hook dating back to the line's construction in 1921 [1].

Sorry, I can't sympathize with grid operators.

For the past three years, I’ve been working at deepchannel.com as the second full-time Software Engineer. We built the VSCode for data engineers. I've done a bit of everything there – from conducting technical interviews and getting an internal ETL tool and backend HTTP API off the ground to kicking off some of the core intelligence features in the IDE and seeing them through to production.

Outside of that, I’m a hacker and TypeScript and functional programming wizard. I’ve made extensive Open source contributions in PureScript and JavaScript, and even gotten shoutouts in deep functional programming papers. I have been giving talks, organizing meetups and hackathons in my home city of Tbilisi.

I have about ten years of software engineering under my belt, including six years working remotely for U.S. startups. I’m looking for a small-to-medium size team. Ideally we would start remotely, but I would be open to moving to New York or San Francisco. I’m at my best working with people who are optimistic and driven, where everyone’s all about teamwork and helping each other grow.
Well, if the page included the easy-to-find fact that the loan was repaid with interest, it would be more complete.
Well, I've had to use parsers in other languages that weren't pure or where one couldn't just translate the "Result a" equivalent to "Result b".

That always lead to a bunch of annoyingly error-prone boilerplate. But yeah, that's it.

I'd say that half of the Haskell's value is avoiding a bunch of annoyingly error-prone boilerplate... everywhere and recursively.
I don't really care about having better specs other than a decent processor and SSD. iPad-level performance is fine. ARM is probably the better choice here.

But having a nice keyboard, trackpad, and high res display are good. A lot of Chromebooks really cheap out on the display, even the Chromebook Plus spec only calls for 1080p.

A nice premium-feeling durable computing product covers a lot more than just the raw cpu/gpu speed.

That's really what the original Chromebook Pixel was. Great build quality, high res display, good keyboard/trackpad, and just enough horsepower to run ChromeOS.

It’s Time to Hear from Social Scientists about UFOs
> Nuclear can and does regulate its output.

They do in France. You kind of have to, if you produce 70% of your power in nuke plants. But in the US, it's not done in any meaningful sense. All US plants run at 100% capacity all the time.

The reason for that is that it's incredibly complicated to ramp a nuke plant. If you take a reactor and reduce its heat output significantly, the currently active volume of fuel moves away from the decay product equilibrium - the reactor poisons its own fuel rods with neutron absorbing decay products. This makes a subsequent increase in output power extremely dangerous and thus impossible in practice. The only way to increase power safely is to wait for the radio poison to decay naturally, which can takes tens of days (and depends on by how much you reduced power).

The only reason the French can ramp the power of their nuclear plants up and down is that they have so many of them, and they are all controlled by a central authority. This means the reactors can take turns in reducing power, each night a different set of reactors poison their fuel and recover slowly over the next week or two.

There is also of course an economic side to this. In the US, nuclear power is so economically risky that planning a plant that is not trying as hard as it possibly can to recoup it's enormous investment would sound crazy to investors. It would make zero economic sense to not run at 100% all the time, and would probably make any newly build plant a billion dollar loss instantly.
Actually no that would defeat the point. There are a couple thing we need to do beyond separating hardware and software: the first is forbidding NDAs around hardware interfaces. If you sell hardware to someone, you cannot force them not to publish the manual.

The second is an interoperability mandate: reproducing the functionality of existing hardware (a CPU ISA, a GPU clone…) must be authorized, and all relevant copyright and patents ignored.

This doesn’t mean that we would end all partnerships. The hardware company can still send prototypes to the software company, so driver development can begin before the hardware gets production-ready. That kind of workflow is common today.

In the early 2000s, it was pretty uncommon to bring in all those PRIs from the cities, most telcos supported foreign exchanges through a combination of DMS-100 (brand name Centrex in Ameritech world) features and circuits. Near the end of the retail dial-up ISP, it was not uncommon to cover entire states through that and have them come into groups of PRIs.

The outfit I worked for started in 1990 and had actual POPs with aggregated 3Com, Livingston and Micom serial aggregators that went to a central location over leased lines. They had 1500 lines between retail SLIP/PPP and a couple bulletin boards. That was quite the monster.
I'm in Pittsburgh, and they are everywhere. Have you ever seen a place overrun during a cicada emergence? There's about that many. Every time I take a half-hour walk around the neighborhood, I kill at least 10, sometimes 50 or so. I've noticed that they like dark things/places and humming noises, like power poles with transformers on top and rail stations.

My strategy: approach them from their front and stomp on them. They like to jump forward, so coming at them from any other direction is less successful.

I figured that I would find one inside my house at some point, and found a dead one under the dining room table a month ago.
It seems perfectly reasonable to me to want a subsidy abolished and also use it while it exists. Presumably they want it abolished for everyone not just themselves.
Yes. VPPs was the more common academic term used for many years. Recently, FERC came out with Order 2222 that essentially paved the way for Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to participate in the wholesale electricity markets (think organizations like CAISO that determine the optimal schedules for thousands of power plants on an hourly and 5-minute basis via a market) via a DER Aggregator.

So if you take all these infinitesimally small sources and add them up, a single entity can be a market player for them as a kind of tiny virtual power plant. Naturally, this is extremely complicated and took years to get through the legal processes and for the various grid operators to get it figured out. It's still a work in progress.
Don't create them each time a record is created, create a batch in advance in sufficient number, and do the same every time the previous batch has ran out. UUIDv7 is 128 bits, you can store a large number of them without major penalty.
I'm assuming you're using Microsoft Office though -- if such is the case, what then is your take on Microsoft's recent Azure security lapses? Does that, to your mind, tarnish the reputation of American big-tech?
You are seriously overestimating how much computing power people need and underestimating the capabilities of those laptops.
Yeah I'd rather not have my British English dialect seen as second-class in a world of American English ideally which is what having a red document full of 'errors' implies in those sorts of situations.

It's sometimes not a trivial distinction either, for example I've heard of cases where surprised British redditors have found themselves banned from American subreddits for being homophobic when they were actually talking innocently enough about cigarettes!
Too bad the star is going to make observations within the habitable zone hard!

This problem also sounds like one that can be extrapolated into more systems as those planets are going to be close to the star by necessity…?

Frustrating that the resolving power of JWST is there even for those, but the star completely dominates the observations.

I wonder if they could perform analysis over time and apply statistical models to subtract solar output from the data, knowing the orbital periods etc. But that’s just me being a layman here.

I write in multiple languages daily on Linux, including English, Russian, and Chinese. Switching keyboards (at least with gnome) is a simple super-space.

While in my default (English) layout, it is easy enough to add in accents other characters using the compose key (right alt). So right-alt+'+a = á or right-alt+"+u = ü. I much prefer this over the long press as I can do it quickly and seamlessly without having to wait on feedback. Granted, it is not as discoverable, but once you are comfortable, it in my opinion is a better system.

I think this is why encyclopedias were one of the first "killer applications" for CD-ROMs. Wikipedia didn't yet exist, paper encyclopedia sets cost several hundred dollars at least, and floppy disks weren't really big enough for it. Having a whole encyclopedia on one or two CDs was a game changer.
>3 Grapheme Cluster Boundaries

>It is important to recognize that what the user thinks of as a “character”—a basic unit of a writing system for a language—may not be just a single Unicode code point. Instead, that basic unit may be made up of multiple Unicode code points. To avoid ambiguity with the computer use of the term character, this is called a user-perceived character. For example, “G” + grave-accent is a user-perceived character: users think of it as a single character, yet is actually represented by two Unicode code points. These user-perceived characters are approximated by what is called a grapheme cluster, which can be determined programmatically.

The White House's 'Misinformation' Pressure Campaign Was Unconstitutional
You don't have facts, just excessive devotion to Apple.

The US might have the 5th highest income, but I said people in the US don't have higher incomes than other western countries on average.

The US has a crazy skewed income disparity. It's an extreme minority making high incomes, and it certainly doesn't support your rather baseless argument.

No, the reason people in the US have much more of an Apple fixation than other countries is because Apple is seen as an elite/luxury item, and due to cultural reasons everyone wants to be seen as being able to afford/own that, even when there is no truth to it. Same reason some people pay ridiculous amounts for Balenciaga t-shirts.
