>> Other than in English-speaking countries and some Spanish-speaking countries, the terms a.m. and p.m. are seldom used and often unknown.

I did not know that. The terms are from the Latin ante meridiem and post meridiem (meridiem, midday, ante before, post after) so it seemed logical to me that any Romance language would have them. But then, English is not a Romance language (but borrowed heavily from them) so, chalk another one up to English being an absolute mess.

Sir, this is HN, not Reddit.
My understanding of this is that he managed to hype the language with certain killer features. A lot of people were enthusiastic and invested alot of time in learning and building in it. Evan than "suddenly" said they wanted to take the language in another direction and dropped some of the core features and pricipals that drew people in. While perhaps a mischaracterization, it comes a cross as a kind of "bait and switch" or at least undependable.
It's likely it always had been, but the limitations have always been costs.

But we know if the ever increasing power of compute that problems limited by cost of compute get solved all the time. "Way back in the day" we'd have never really tried to crack passwords on 486's. For example, theses days we're throwing ever more complicated algorithms and requests on the user to ensure the password isn't quickly broken if the cyphertext is stolen.
The only issue is pretty much all the good sites for a reservoir already have a reservoir by now. Whats left is expensive stuff like digging out underground reservoirs that you can imagine would take national support for a lot of places to achieve.
Goal of the power plant is to burn the methane, not release it... so i would say you are wrong here.
A common issue with all predictions from a few years ago is that they failed to predict the 90% fall in cost of solar panels. We see a similar thing today when battery storage is dismissed as being too expensive.

Unfortunately, current policies are often based on predictions from a few years ago.

Do you live in a H, M or L COL area?

What other technologies do you regularly work with?
There are a number of problems with wind in the UK. NIMBYism means it’s either in the north (nowhere near the consumer) or out in the sea which is both not terribly near the consumer and ferociously expensive to maintain. The UK Energy Catapult estimates that a single service vessel “truck roll” or “boat launch” (I guess) is something like £250K. Probably much more now as that figure is 10 years old. This means that it makes economic sense to wait until you have several broken wind turbines before sending out a service vessel. Couple this with the fact that they dont seem to have as long a lifetime as was promised (various reasons). Finally it is a meteorological reality that when it’s very cold in the UK and energy demands are high… it is also usually very still with no wind, and of course in the middle of winter when there are few hours of daylight helping us with solar generation.

Nah I agree with OP

The problem isn’t the deep history of discrimination. I consider that something that created a lot of growth.

The problem is discrimination is natural and it is only fought with diversity but there is no such place that is truly diverse.

I live in, by world standards, a diverse part of the LA metro area. Except there’s like no Black people. Now if I go to a more Black-dominated part of LA, there might not be Koreans. Now if I take the entirety of LA, it will have both Black people and Koreans
and maybe you could call it diverse? Except there will be very few Nigerians or Kazakhstanis.

The issue is that I cannot speak for Nigerians or Kazakhstanis however hard I try. It’s like an electrician who just read some books but has never worked with an actual electrician. My attempts to accommodate a group of people I don’t know will be completely fake. They will know I don’t know a single Nigerian or Kazakhstani.

So when people try to be woke, it usually comes from that level of inexperience. It’s not real diversity. It’s that electrician trying their best but doing it all wrong.
Um. I think you’ve misunderstood my point. By the time any ticket is issued, the driver has already either hit a pedestrian or used the vehicle’s superior weight and velocity to threaten same (“won” the “competition”). Sure, they’re breaking the rule which already exists, but it’s far less likely to happen if both vehicles and pedestrians aren’t expected to share the same space in the same traffic phase.

That's really reductive and biased against us, the potential user base of Elm that decided not to engage. Why is it that we don't like being told "no," as opposed to the Elm leadership and Elm community not liking being told "this isn't a 100% solution for me so I'd like to modify it"?

Obviously Elm is his passion project, that's fine. But nobody who locks down their compiler on a supposedly "open source" project can actually seriously expect others to engage with that in good faith.

Furthermore, the absolute state of just trying to modify Elm to be more fit for purpose is horrendous. Every time I see a parallel implementation or a fork, the author has to bend over backward with platitudes to placate the Elm masses and ensure them that this project isn't trying to "split the community," which is a nonsense idea to start with imo.

It feels cultish, on top of a project that is actively hostile to people who want to use it any way other than how the BDFL has mandated its usage. If you want to say the problem is with the users, that's fine, but that's exactly the attitude keeping me from ever engaging. I personally think the problem is with the people who want such fine control over their technology and community, as opposed to understanding that they can really only shepherd their implementation. That's about as far as their reach rightfully extends.

EDIT: also, the fact that they aggressively lock down their compiler and have such hostility to anyone working in parallel is imo the definition of "holding it back"

The last two times net neutrality was in the news (during the initial reclassification, and then the repeal), the main claim then was that it would/did reduce investments and innovation, and that was a lie[0][1][2][3].

The crux here is: what are "the purposes of this section" ?

Does it

(a) define the rules and conditions under which a taxpayer may claim a deduction on R&D expenditure

or

(b) define the obligations of the taxpayer with respect to anything that Sec 174 defines as R&D expenditure (i.e. you must report it as such, charge it to a capital account, claim an amortization deduction)

AFAIK, nothing the IRS or Congress has said thus far has clarified this.
Million times more energy dense, yes.

More abundant? Depends. There's a lot in the sea, which isn't currently recoverable. There's a lot we could do (but actually don't) with breeder reactors to make more fuel.

> You’ve shown that electric cars are more energy-efficient than
fossil cars. But are they better if our objective is to reduce CO2
emissions, and the electricity is still generated by fossil power-
stations?

> This is quite an easy calculation to do. Assume the electric vehicle’s
energy cost is 20 kWh(e) per 100 km. (I think 15 kWh(e) per 100 km is perfectly
possible, but let’s play sceptical in this calculation.) If grid electricity
has a carbon footprint of 500 g per kWh(e) then the effective emissions of
this vehicle are 100 g CO2 per km, which is as good as the best fossil cars
(figure 20.9). So I conclude that switching to electric cars is already a good
idea, even before we green our electricity supply.
Why is a Yubikey more trustworthy? You don't have the source code, you don't have the hardware design. In addition, a Yubikey is given no information about the system boot state, so is in no position to identify that the system has been tampered with.

You're protecting your ego more when you compare people to LLMs, since that is your existing prejudice.

The sort of fashionable pseudo-scientific scientism in the belief that animals are alike digital electrical machines is a kind of egoism. It says, "the engineer of these machines (me!) knows all!"

The real hit to your ego is to suppose you are vastly more complex than you understand -- and this is why these engineers crop up and demand that there is nothing more to know than what they have already learned

this is an illusion of humility: these engineers take the implied nihilism of this view (that of the emptyness of animal life) as evidence that it is the humble one.

But, as ever nihilism, ends up being the most profound kind of arrogance, here its an ego-defence against the threat of their own ignorance.

And the threat is real: all you have ever learned about how to sequence transformations of natural numbers (all the algorithms of computer science) are of no use at all in the study of intelligence. What an injury to the ego!
> Why doesn't it know when it's so consistent every time?

Because rice isn't consistent.

This is most apparent with certain varieties - a cup of imported Basmati "Royal" brand will take longer and require more water than the same amount of "Three Elephants" Jasmine rice from Thailand.

Even the same varieties produced by different brands/countries will turn out differently in terms of time required. This relates to differences in climate, storage, processing, and other factors.

Nothing can beat Teflon on non-stickiness, for sure. But really, it’s actually fairly rare that it is a useful property when cooking: mostly for eggs. I mostly use stainless steel and have no problem of food sticking.

It asks for a bit of technique, but it’s just technique needed to make good food anyway (preheating pan, using fat, deglazing, managing heat)

I wouldn’t recommend cast iron either, it’s just too much faff. Stainless steel by default, Teflon for the few things that it’s useful for!
https://archive.ph/QltX9
Stainless steel with some basic seasoning every once in a while (oil, high heat, it’s easy to do) has done me well for a long time.

I do keep a non stick around just for eggs though, hard to beat.
> while ignoring how astoundingly simple and linear it is to write and read.

Protobuff actually is doing parsing, it is just binary format. What you describing is more like Flatbuffer.

I love this kind of hypothetical analysis, but I'd also like to point out there are already people making real strides towards this on an individual level in the UK. Youtube channels like ElectricVehicleMan catalog what a conscientious person can practically accomplish by themselves with readily available solutions today. I've particularly been impressed by the synergies between rooftop solar, battery storage, and combined heat-pump hydronic heat/hot water solutions.

It seems plausible that even a person in a typical row house could offset most of their household consumption with solutions that will end up with a reasonable return over time.

The scam knows no limit. Make sure Windows 10 isn't updated anymore and then make sure Windows 11 isn't supported "because the hardware is too old", forcing people to buy new computers.

As a sidenote for whatever reason I tried to install Windows 11 on an AMD 3700X (don't remember why exactly I did that as I typically don't run Windows). The AMD 3700X came out in mid 2019. Windows 11 refused to install for the hardware wasn't supported: I don't know if it was the mobo, the CPU, a configuration in the mobo... Really no clue. All I know is not only it failed but it failed without telling what wasn't supported. On a computer that was not even four years old.

Meanwhile my wife is happily using Ubuntu on my old sixth gen Core i7 6700K from... 2015 (first Asus mobo that had a NVMe M.2 PCIe slot so in eight years I basically just upgraded the NVMe SSD to a more recent one).

I agree with the other poster: it's an opportunity to have "old" computers and just install whatever Linux distro on them.

I have a hard time buying the argument against changing defaults.

I do get that the Vim editing model is hard, but that professional developers refuse using a tool because you have to change some defaults and customize it a little is too much.

It's really not that hard or time consuming to setup, for more gains than many of the courses or experiences people have put themselves through.

And it's not like it's a "vscode vs Vim" thing, I see the same argument inside the Vim community too where people refuse plugins because it's too much work, or even switch to Vim-like editors that don't have a plugin system as if it was a positive thing.

What gives? I'm sure it's not as easy as everyone just being lazy.

Just use ceramic pans instead, they're pretty affordable nowadays. Admittedly, they wear out just like Teflon pans but it does the same job. The biggest caveat is that you have to clean them well. I usually let some water boil on it and it gets off any of the gunk that makes food stick to it.

It's certainly not competing but SerenityOS probably has more mind share and development than ReactOS. However I do not know how well Serenity runs on real hardware or if that's even the focus.
