Idk to be honest. In my case they were being attacked by every pest known to man. Well insects at the very least. Out of 4 plants, only one made it out alive with the help of a dozen types of soil and chemicals to deal with the insects. And I have the perfect conditions: warm, sunny automated watering system, moisture sensors and all that. Air quality is kinda ass cause I am in a big city but last floor of a tall building so finding insects was a real shock to me.

As for what to do with them: 12 large bell peppers, chop them up, remove the seeds, some baby carrots(~100-150 grams), 200 grams of tomato sauce, whatever spices your heart desires(just add some oregano), add 200 ml of water, sauce it all in a blender with two Carolinas for a minute, add another 200 ml of water and shove all that in a pot, leave it on the stove for 40-50 minutes at medium heat and that's it really. You could toss some other peppers to the mix(also pickles work well), you really can't go wrong here. You'll have hot sauce for a very long time. And that coming from me is saying a lot, considering this is my fridge at any given time: https://i.imgur.com/C6UERig.jpg

That is fair. I wish they'd left those out, it would have made for a stronger critique.
It's really not a bad idea, but the problem is structuring.

It's odd but I come back to Cantrill's "Fork Yeah" talk here.

So the basic problem is one of resources: forked wikis still have hosting costs, so they need either a patron community (often just one person) or a for-profit company (with lots of crappy ads), while Wikipedia by all accounts is rolling in the dough with very little accountability (i.e. when professors and teachers remind students "don't believe 100% of what you read on Wikipedia," the-Wiki-community is blamed moreso than Wikipedia-the-nonprofit). If you fork Wikipedia then you lose out on the resources.

Without that, you do have a "forkophobic" culture which is why you get this "governance orgy" -- the notability guidelines and so forth. But the difference is, Cantrill's software examples expect the software to have some sort of editorial control, so if the Linux or Apache foundations take on some project it's because it's used by thousands or millions of people and they don't really take kindly to "oh yeah upstream was vandalized by someone who came in and just made every request to the Apache server return 'HTTP 499 BUTTS BUTTS BUTTS'."

In Wikipedia you get this strange direct democracy by "whoever happened to show up." Deletion votes are often done with like, 20 votes or less of just random passersby. Worse, those random passersby are usually the people who visited the article in the first place and saw that it was up for deletion, so they'll say things that are nonsensical like "oh, he's a very notable figure in the XYZ community, Googling him turns up 40,000 results so clearly he is notable."
It's interesting to see "there are no Ruby jobs" comments while working at a company that hires from outside the country because we can't find enough developers locally.
There are different causes of violence and a ceasefire solves some kinds but not others.

For instance, fear is a major driver of violence: attack "them" to reduce their ability to attack "us". A ceasefire is a good solution here, because it develops a mutual trust that you'll leave each other alone.

But if there are other reasons for attack, e.g. one party is unhappy with the status quo and sees something to be gained by violence, a ceasefire doesn't work. They will just wait for the next opportunity and strike again, regardless of how peaceful the situation is.

I'm not making a moral statement here, just a practical one. A ceasefire today would not magically make everyone content to leave each other alone.

That’s debatable. It’s a lot easier to swap things around if you use cat at the start of your pipeline and gives the data flow a complete left to right reading. For one liners I will probably < but for a shell script I’ll go with cat.

> if someone can legally compel Hetzner and/or Linode and/or LetsEncrypt to do or not do something then the same entity can compel the certificate transparency site to ignore something

the major certificate transparency logs are operated by several independent global companies, Apple and Google for LE. it's unlikely that they will agree to forge their global CT logs for a single government. more importantly, SCTs allow cryptographic proof of anyone lying, making such an action very dangerous for their continued participation in the WebPKI ecosystem.

Indeed it's not a bad thing at all. I remember in the early days of wikipedia it seemed like every single Pokemon had their own article while actually notable real life topics had scant information.

Migrating all that cruft to a separate pokemon wiki was an improvement for everyone, no matter how "notable" you think Beedrill might be, it doesn't need it's own separate wikipedia article. With a separate wiki, Pokemon fans can go into as much depth and lore as they like.

Personally I think the criteria for fictional things should be even stronger. There ought to be an article about the work of fiction itself, but not articles about fictional characters or events unless they're notable outside of the work of fiction.

This keeps wikipedia about facts, not fictional canon.

e.g. Pikachu derves a separate article, Charmander does not.

To elaborate further, the Charizard article has a "Physical characteristics" section.

It's a anime / computer game. It's not a physical being, so any "physical characteristics" is not factual information, it's fictional information. Wikipedia does a poor job at separation of fact and fiction in articles about fictional beings.

Like someone else said, 2024 has a "total eclipse", but its path is more central, largely avoiding the solar-heavy west. It will still hit Texas (ERCOT), but since the date is early April the grid conditions should be relaxed enough that it will be another event where some planning should mitigate potential issues.

The next eclipse that would hit in the summer (which would have tighter conditions and more reliance on solar to serve demand) won't be until August 2044. Who knows exactly what the grid will look like by then, but you will certainly see a massive dip in solar generation.

"While Kerry bombed, viewers got a unique vantage point into Stewart's true genius for interviewing. Stewart played double-duty, picking up Kerry's slack -- "pitching not just softballs but marshmallows, puffy interview marshmallows with rainbow sprinkles on them" -- when he was lagging"

I love Ruby. As the saying goes, It was developed with programmer happiness with mind. Once you learn more than hello world, you start to see there is actual joy to be had in programming in Ruby.
Also if you're within 100 miles of an international airport.
Actually, yeah. I think it could make a difference. Usually there is some basic spell-check, grammar check stuff already going on, but the kinds of things that would be easily fixed/identified by LLMs could be:

- continuity checking - often moving sections of text around introduces temporal errors
- style cleanup
- quasi-duplicated text that came from multiple edits or start/stops being merged
- fixing vague and unclear passages

But probably what they won't do well in a near terms is provide more critical feedback, such as when to throw away large sections of book, or remove subplots, or where to dive deeper on other topics. I'm sure they can generate general suggestions for this kind of thing though.

Also, while looking at your Which Way Round, I notice you're using cascade shadow maps with 4 cascades, which seems a bit overkill considering I can only spot 2 cascades on the page. It seems you're also rendering depth to an RGBA8 map? I'm a bit confused why, because WebGL definitely supports depth maps and comparison samplers. You should get a free PCF by using a linear comparison sampler, which will make your texture filtering look a bit linear.
This isn't why. You can always use a convenient Taylor series to approximate cosine anything to arbitrary precision. For the three-body problem, small changes to initial conditions diverge into incalculably chaotic behavior.

Everything in that fuel mix is grid scale on the transmission network, not the distribution system that residential batteries are on. Looking at the records[0] page, maximum battery charging is approaching 4.5 GW in CAISO, so they're really trucking along in adding them to the grid. Wouldn't be surprised if they get passed by ERCOT over the next couple of years though, just tremendously easier to interconnect and build a facility in Texas.

It's not unsustainable if that's your question. There's no mechanism that automatically turn this into some clear case of failure.

As a consequence, "what is the solution?" will get sidelined by the question of "should we even solve anything?", even though high interest rates are clearly damaging.

On the actual question of how to solve it, I don't have any answer. Both austerity and inflation come with side-effects that may or may not increase that rate even more.
Not an oxymoron at all. In communism, Comrade Glorious Leader and the Politburo control both the means of production and the monopoly on legitimate violence. In corporatism, Chief Executive Officer and top shareholders control both the means of production and the monopoly on legitimate violence. Different words, same reality.

(In properly-functioning capitalism, the means of production are split between many independent, competing corporations, and the state uses its monopoly on violence to preserve that competition.)

Indeed, there are some levels which i can only complete by digging a tunnel under the entire map, avoiding both the enemies on the surface, and the constant aerial bombardment which is raining down on it.

> Forty-two percent of all registered voters believe the law is a good idea, compared to 35 percent who think it's a bad idea, while 23 percent don't have an opinion.

> Eighty percent of Democratic primary voters, as well as 72 percent of all registered voters who describe themselves as Democrats, say the Affordable Care Act is a good idea.

> That's compared to 72 percent of Republican voters in the poll who say it's a bad idea.

* Ibid.

2022:

> Public opinion of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been largely divided along partisan lines since the law was passed in 2010. Following Republican efforts to repeal the ACA in the summer of 2017, KFF Health Tracking Polls found a slight uptick in overall favorability towards the law, and since then a somewhat larger share has held a favorable than an unfavorable view. The most recent KFF Tracking Poll conducted in March 2022 found slightly more than half of the public (55%) hold a favorable opinion of the ACA while about four in ten (42%) hold a negative opinion of the law. Views of the ACA are still largely driven by partisanship: nearly nine in ten Democrats (87%) along with six in ten independents (58%) view the law favorably, while eight in ten Republicans (79%) hold unfavorable views.

> Why is it even possible to issue more than 1 certificate on the same domain via Let’s Encrypt?

it commonly used in a "normal" way all the time

- e.g. when there are multiple data-center for the same domain (e.g. using geo-location based routing) it's a good practice to give them different certs so that if you need to revoke one the operation in other regions is unaffected

- or when rolling over from on cert to another

- or when moving certs into hardware security keys/module (HSK) you preferably do have one per HSK (so that if e.g. hardware breaks and gets replaced you can just revoce the cert for the affected HSK module not all of them), you also normaly do not keep backups to make sure it can't be leaked at all (as long as the HSK isn't hacked which is normally quite hard)

- or losing access to a cert (e.g. in the case above a HSK breaks)

Lastly the whole CA system is in the end designed to provide good security for the industry while having the backdoor of issuing certs the legal organs to allow the police some degree of wiretapping (oversimplified, it's slightly more complex then that).
