> pre-commit are more trouble than they are worth

Nah pre-commit is great for lots of quick checks (formatting, trailing whitespace, linting shell scripts etc), it's just that type checking Python requires the Python dependencies to be already installed and that means setting up a venv and installing stuff and that's just a bit too complex.

> Does this work well with pycharm? I think I looked into this a while ago and it seemed really tightly coupled to VSC.

Possibly not. You can definitely run it from the command line without VSCode since Pyright the type checker is open source. The VSCode Python LSP server Pylance is closed source though (this provides additional features beyond type checking like completion and refactoring).

Haven't used Pycharm for decades but I'd guess it has its own thing.

I don’t have a great understanding of why people like 304 (or 316 or 18/8 or 18/10) etc stainless steel for cooking so much. Nickel is not that cheap, and while it’s apparently not toxic per se, it’s a rather common allergen. Adding large amounts of nickel makes steel austentitic and hence non-magnetic at room temperature, which is suboptimal for induction cooking and for use on refrigerators :)

Apparently nickel adds a small (tiny?) amount of corrosion resistance, and I think that austentitic steel is more ductile, but there is no shortage of extremely cheap non-austentitic cookware out there.

So why does nicer cookware usually contain nickel?
That's not the obvious solution.

A better solution for example would be giving the workers tools and knowledge to get what they want just from their job (because everyone is different).

You said that you struggle to see how these platforms don't provide massive value which is fair from your point of view but I personally struggle to see how any of the platforms provide 5€/month worth of value, let alone 10 or 20.

I guess it's a matter of perspective and what do we find valuable in life.

As for tipping, that's a can of worms I'm not going to open because as a european I find the whole concept insane.
It’s functional. Grass is nicer to walk around on than sticks, rocks, and prickly weeds. Most animals (rabbits excluded) don’t nest as close to the house.

Lots of people do like the aesthetics and perhaps some HOAs are strict about it, but I think most people maintain their lawn because it’s what they think they’re supposed to do.

Personally I think small lawns are great but would love to see more natural landscaping with native plants.

I used to live part time in Berlin during the recent heyday of these clubs. The city was a bit more anarchic and chaotic. There was a lot of underground things happening.

I was there recently and the city felt much more subdued. Things got cleaned up. Lots of new housing. A bit more gentrified and quiet.

I’m guessing the crowds aged out.

> a Zojirushi cup isn't the same as an imperial cup

Right, but a US cup isn't the same as a Japanese cup, or a UK cup, or even a US "legal cup" etc.. unfortunately the "cup" isn't a useful unit of measurement any more than a non-XKCD-1179[1] date is a useful expression of a date (T_T)

The former; every Japanese rice cooker (and website) is like this, only more so[2]

[1]: https://xkcd.com/1179/

[2]: seems like an infinitely recursive statement, since "every Japanese rice cooker" includes the Zojirushi rice cookers under discussion; however, infinite recursion is actually an explicitly-supported feature of TRON (OS, but that's the O in TRON), which powers almost all Japanese rice cookers[3]

But they did have an option. It was offered in 2014:

https://techcrunch.com/2014/06/09/tesla-wants-to-open-its-su...

The offer was backed up with a patent sharing offer:

https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-our-patent-are-belong-you

Tesla also made it clear that patent sharing while on the table was not necessarily a requirement, although there were other requirements for cost sharing:

https://www.engadget.com/2014-06-09-tesla-to-share-superchar...

This is in 2014. Nobody took Tesla up on the offer.

Of course, things are complex, and they had their reasons. One I suppose was Tesla started out with a pretty inflexible payment model that basically sold cars with charging for life (back then) with the cost bundled into the car price. This might have been a hangup for the bean counters at other companies. Letting bean counters run the show to the exclusion of giving a good charging experience is worthy of criticism, imho, but those other car companies are free to run their businesses as they see fit.

More recently, Tesla has made the payment options more flexible, and is moving NACS to be an actual standard, so the platform is getting easier to adopt, and here we are.

Edit: And thank you, I did learn a few things researching and writing this post.

Ha I definitely agree with that. There are some exceptions where you want to do a reasonable thing that the types just aren't expressive enough for, but in general if you can't explain it so the type checker understands then your coworkers won't either.

>Areas with dense oak trees however, might have so many leaves mulching would choke out the grass.

Surprisingly not, it's actually pretty amazing how massive blankets of dried fallen leaves will get chomped down into a tiny tiny thin layer of powder when mulching, at least when using a sufficiently powerful mower to do a good job of it. I've got maybe 50 acres, mostly dense forest with lots of oaks/maples and then some lawn (more regularly mowed hay field) around main buildings. Before I had one I used to rake (or eventually blow) up leaves and cart them off leaving only some. Getting a quality mulching setup was a revelation (for leave and grass too for that matter). Better for the environment, less messy, and more convenient. Still use an (electric) blower though to gather leaves onto lawn areas from other places for mulching, and in some cases to help spread the leaves out beyond the areas near forest so that they'll add nutrients elsewhere. But once everything is piled as I want onto lawn can just mulch it, though everything in the hay fields can just sit over the winter of course.

So I think there really is no downside, it's all upside, and it can all be electric as well. Just a matter of putting the pieces together with the right incentives, which is something that looks plenty politically feasible.

One piece of this really jumped out at me: the projection of overall energy demand to shrink from 2900 TWh to 900 TWh over the next 27 years. The article waives that away by pointing to efficiency gains from electrification and decarbonisation — but that’s just a stupendous change in consumption over a quite short period of time.

I would honestly like a deeper explanation of how electrification will produce such a wild decrease! That’s shrinking energy use by more than 2/3, and presumably after taking into account population/industry growth…? Or are the authors just wildly pessimistic (not…unmerited) about Britain’s trajectory over the next quarter-century? What am I missing here?

It's possible to have yards without devoting them entirely to a monocultural monocot crop. See, e.g., https://maps.app.goo.gl/95tVKVU8DAZkKTA6A for some lawn layouts that eschew grass entirely.

This feature isn't really for people like you and me. It's for big companies like Red Hat and Google to utilise on their servers. Google have their own TPMs they can trust. Red Hat probably have the paperwork to say their TPMs are safe.

As a student, I had time and patience to look for another club for being denied entrance because I wasn't wearing leather BDSM harnesses after waiting in line for 2 hours. Now not so much.

This is good news though, now that the economic pressure is on, maybe it's a good time for non-fashionistas to go raving in Berlin again, though I doubt the euro is stronger than scene snobism.

Eh, it doesn't seem like character assassination. Dude chose his management style. That makes his project unfit for purpose for certain people. Those people are allowed to make that determination and state as such.

I remember when the Elm team first decided to lock down the Elm compiler, so that only the team in charge had special privileged access to modify it. I thought, "wow, this looks like a bunch of people who don't want to collaborate, who want to take their ball and tell others how to play with it, really putting the 'dictator' in BDFL." and you know what? that's fine. I don't harbor anything against them as people. But that left a permanently bad taste in my mouth and I'm unlikely to ever trust that group or a project they're managing.
Well, IMO, one of the former communist dictatorships doing things that resemble 1984 is... completely unsurprising.

That's not what the tweet says. It says:

"Breaking: The first Apple M3 Pro chip benchmarks have leaked! It’s actually slower than the M2 Max based on margin of error. M3 Pro: 15,173 M2 Max: 15,242"

Which is exepcted. Max is the top version and Pro is the mid version of each of those generations. M3 Pro beats M2 Pro, which is the respective tier, and M3 Max beats M2 Max.

Nobody said a mid-level M3 would beat all versions of M2, including the top ones.
I second the point that Electron is great for web devs who need to make a desktop app. But for desktop app first developers I find it's really unsatisfying. The landscape today is quite interesting, between qt and avalonia and electron, among others.

One huge thing that web gets right is that users of the incremental app do not have to install anything. But the consent banners and enshittification of the web experience really eats away at that advantage.

I also very much agree that native look and feel is not as important as it sounds. I'm wondering if there is some obvious way hidden in plain sight to have end user applications on the desktop without incremental installations. Steam is almost there, getting a new game sometimes doesn't feel like a new installation even when it is.

The point is that it didn't have an efficient (and therefore cost effective) shot at full reusability. That's always been the key issue.

this. while i agree with the claim in the article on principle, it left me wanting.

It is the conduct of the ISPs that is in question here. Because telephone companies were Title II common carriers, their behavior had to be just and reasonable. Those companies prospered under such responsibilities; as they have morphed into wired and wireless ISPs, there is no reasonable argument why they, as well as their new competitors from the cable companies, should not continue to have public interest obligations.

There are other options... nuclear power is more expensive but if cost wasn't the issue (e.g. running out of land was) is an option.

If cost is the issue there are still risky moonshots like "throw tons of money at fusion" (attacking the cost of nuclear) and "throw tons of money at high temperature superconductor research" (attacking the amount of energy we need), and "geoengineering" (risking screwing it up worse). Not guaranteed to work, but you know, better than rolling over and dying. Also has the side benefit that a lot of the moonshots are worth trying anyways.
