In what way is it an irrelevant trope?

Just look at how apps are handled by the variety of folding Android phones today or devices with unusual aspect ratios. You get clipping and stretching in a lot of cases, even as recently as the latest Pixel Fold

iOS has much better UI libraries than Android. They also have a better constraint and relative positioning system that allows for UI to adapt to changes in screen ratios.

And none of that even addresses the disparity of Android versions in use. Yes, Google Play and Jetpack help paper over some of that, but good luck if you need to use a non-Google Play device or need to deal with some of the APIs that just don’t get shimmed. Or if you’re using graphics APIs and need to deal with the vendor and OS specific deviances in Vulkan implementation.

I very much disagree with your dismissal of it as a dated trope. As a game and app dev, targeting Android is incredibly annoying even today and results in targeting the most popular models in a demographic and hoping things scale outwards.
> I don't think it's very hotly debated at all. There seems to be a consensus that whether they were right to be so concerned or not, Israel's motives in preempting Egypt were about security, not territorial expansion.

The issue is actually hotly debated. To this day, former Egyptian generals say that they only placed a force in the Sinai in order to discourage the Israelis from attacking Syria, which the Egyptians thought the Israelis were doing. Additionally, the Israeli government itself does not seem to have viewed Egyptian forces in the Sinai as a serious threat. The Israelis planned and trained for their air operation against Egypt long in advance, which means they were considering a first strike for a long time.

At the very least, the simple story the Israelis like to tell ("We were attacked and defended ourselves") does not hold water.

> But the history here is complicated and it's important to get it right.

The Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories is not really that complicated. Fundamentally, Israel wants to keep East Jerusalem, the West Bank and, to a lesser extent, Gaza. As long as Israelis think they can hold onto those territories at an acceptable price, they will. The US, by giving Israel unconditional backing, has abetted the occupation.
The Inconvenience of It All
Most Product Managers should just be Project Managers
The rise of the tech industry has no doubt brought a surge in interest of people wanting to work in tech. The stereotypes of paid lunches, flexible working hours, unlimited PTO, work from anywhere, and not least of all the compensation has made many suddenly want to be a designer, developer, or PM.

Here’s the cold hard truth. Most of these career u-turners are bad for tech. They often do bootcamps or online courses to get some worthless accreditation but don’t understand technology.

The worst culprits are PMs.

Backed with some MBA degree or something like Chem Eng, Mech Eng etc they believe they can do the job. Most couldn’t successfully update their phone OS.

And these are the folks designers and developers have to fight tooth and nail to convince them about the rationale for their decisions, to teach them about the nuances of tech, to make a case for why something needs more time to build or design.

They just don’t get it.

I hope the year 2024 brings a recalibration in companies to thoroughly examine their team structures and to create a process that lets builders build.

Or at the very least, let’s just change Product Manager to Project Manager and let the people who do the work figure out how to do it, and let the project manager slice and dice timelines and communication.
It is? Poking around it looks like peak rates are typically set from 5-9PM (https://www.pge.com/en/account/rate-plans/find-your-best-rat... for example).
My impression as well. It seems to be typical mismanagement of the mine's construction, or people disagreeing on contractual aspects, where the responsibilities stop, etc.
You misunderstood me.

The GRID FEES should be flat. They are just one component of the price that is charged by the utility, and currently they are charged per kWh consumed.

The POWER PRICE should of course scale with the kWh that are being consumed - either as a fixed price, or better with a component that depends on the time of the day or the actual market price.
This is almost certainly because Street Pass is device-to-device, based entirely on proximity to other users. There's no server to shut down, so Nintendo would have to go out of their way to turn it off by releasing some sort of update to have devices kill the feature on some date.

No, they cannot. This won’t fly. There is no consideration and no damages. It’s not a legal contract. A company can voluntarily agree to these rules. But they cannot be forced into them. It would be different if T Mobile was suffering as a result of these incidences.

A court can ultimately do whatever the fuck it wants, sure, but one would expect it not to work.
This is true of every language though. Language acquisition works like this (and people understand what young children mean) regardless of whether you're learning English or Spanish or German or Korean.
True. I think we would end up with a more efficient and also greener energy system removed more of these subsidies and zoning restrictions and instead used futures markets to somewhat shield consumers from extreme power price spikes.
That was a great read. Thank you.
> Polyamory isn't popular at all.

“Become so popular” is about a relative change in popularity, not about absolute numbers.

Almost everyone eats breakfast, yet nobody would say it “become so popular”.

On the other hand if a very obscure thing becomes a bit less obscure that can be aptly described as becoming popular.

> It's just not as much of a taboo as it used to be.

Yes, that is what the article says too.
The rule of law and civil courts specifically are much stronger in the US than PRC, although there are many ways that you can get screwed with contracts here too. A common saying is that every bankrupt contractor takes out another business.
I might also have bought one if I had been in the market for a car at that time. But not because I would have wanted it, but because I would have needed it :)

I think my comment above was indeed a bit snarky and is rightfully getting downvoted.
> higher than most of the world* including most European

I'm not sure that's true in general. e.g. at around 300k the effective income tax rate in CA is ~34% (26% + 8.0% state) +5% (SS etc.) = 39%. That's quite low by European standards, if you go down to 150k the total is just 35%.

In Germany for instance you'd already be paying ~42% on 100k

Anyway, that wasn't my point at all, I'm just unsure how politically feasible it would be to accomplish this on the federal level.

There is not a single country in Europe left which would describe itself as a "socialist" democracy (thankfully most of them collapsed around ~1990).

California has a big budget shortfall this year and this should be the first thing Newson should cut. Looking at the past decade, the more money you pump into it, the worse the problem is getting. Maybe pulling funding will make the problem shrink.
Thanks. But do you really need another channel for "cancel", i.e. couldn't you just close the blocking channel?

Of course I can add yet another built-in procedure, e.g. SELECT() which accepts both in and out channels; but since Oberon tries to be as simple as possible, I shouldn't do so as long as there are feasible work-arounds.

Lol. They aren't really points. They are regions, massive areas. Most sats don't even park at the mathematical point but slowly "orbit" it. Literally millions of sats could live out there without ever seeing each other. Just like geostationary slots, this isn't about real estate rather radio spectrum. And even that problem will start going away as laser connections become the norm.

Well for one thing, in the American system you have to bring a civil case against anyone who breaches contract, which in many cases is not worth the legal fees which means scammers know they can get away with screwing people over for just enough that they will get away with it.
This. I tried IKEA’s stuff and it drove me bonkers. We’ve had light switches for over 100 years. Why would I want to replace a perfectly good light switch with flaky buttons and smart bulbs that need to be repaired every month?

But I still wanted to use Home Assistant to control lights. The solution? Smart light _switches_ and wall plugs.

I went with Lutron Caseta wall switches and plug-in dimmers. (Expensive at $60/switch.) Lutron has been doing commercial automation for a very long time and it shows.

1. They work without any automation. Most dimmable LEDs will work.

2. The remotes connect directly to the switches and don’t need a hub.

3. The pro hub model connects to home assistant. You can use unpaired remotes as switches. (Using the correct blueprints.)

I’ve had this set up for over a year and I’ve yet to replace a battery on the many dozens of remotes I have. And I’ve never had a problem with the switch not working.

I get to do all the tinkering I want without breaking my house. :)

Note: I do have some Phillips Hue bulbs for color but those are in lamps separate from overhead lighting.
I’m glad his secret is out. I’ve had enough of Chinese money buying up properties in America and Canada. When will it end? When will the government take it seriously? It’s ridiculous that an LLC can own property but you have very few ways to cheaply find out who is behind said LLC

The oil change thing always baffled the shit out of me.

I don’t drive, as it’s been largely both unnecessary and impractical with where I’ve lived in the past decade, but I know how to check and change the oil in a car, among other basic vehicle maintenance tasks. It’s not hard or time consuming.
So if the market can't achieve this, regulate. We live in a world built on standards, but industries like IoT have developed since the US went batshit and decided that sort of thing amounts to impurifying precious bodily fluids. Maybe the EU will do something to sort it out.

The Pulitzer Prize is supposed to be awarded to journalists whose work is actually good for society in some way, rather than simply churning out sensationalist content for crass commercial or ulterior political motives, and yet it's named after someone whose entire career was driven by the exact opposite motivations. It's funny, much like it would be funny to name a human rights award after Idi Amin. And it answers the implied question I quoted at the beginning of the post--that the "ideals" that journalism "may have aspired to in the past" did not, in fact, exist.
Well, as someone with a shred of credibility, he really does have strong theoretical evidence for the things he's saying. The difficulty here is that theoretical physics is really fucking hard. Way too hard to distill down into a paragraph. I'm sure the man could do a lecture series on star formation in spiral galaxies to convince you but you're going to need a bachelor's at minimum to even start that.

I think he's easy to dismiss because much of his exposition deals in philosophical physics, it's really his specialty. There's levels of solidity. Experimental physics is reality. Theoretical physics is an explanation of reality, sometimes attempting to extend to predict the next experiment. Philosophical physics takes theoretical tools and expands them to explain everything in the Universe, including the Hard questions. I don't think it's a problem that they do it, someone should be thinking of this stuff. Do you have much experience with theoretical physics or cosmology. I have some and the math really helps make these things comprehensible and reasonable. Theoretical physics without math is indeed just continuous excited, but baseless assertions. The math fixes this
It might have something to do with side loading making piracy easier but I really think it’s as simple as there being distinct groups within the Android community.

My anecdata is that I'm a contractor and customers regularly pay late, except in December.

I have one customer who was 3 months late on payments at one point this year. Then in December they paid up for what they would normally have owed in January a month early to stick me with the tax bill.

Every contractor I've ever talked to has similar stories and worse.
There is a reason why they are called system and vendor libraries, and not standard library.

They are third party libraries, outside the language reference.
Larger consumers usually do pay demand charges.

In the UK, they had some method to charge based on a retrospective look of when the grid had the largest demand and your contribution to it, so some firms were set up to help you predict this and reduce your usage at those points.

> The UK’s demand charge price is based on its ‘Triad’ system. ‘Triads’ are three, half-hour periods in the UK winter when energy demand is at its highest.

> The Triad dates must be at least ten days apart. They typically fall on weekdays, between 4 pm-7 pm, November to February and during periods of cold weather. The National Grid often has to fire up expensive coal and gas-powered stations to meet industrial and domestic demand during these windows.

Because it doesn't have to be something you'd ordinarily think of as a "destructor". e.g. you might have multiple possible functions that consume the value, because you're modelling a state machine with several outgoing edges from the type-state. You get to choose the one you call.

It doesn’t help that the article itself mixes in the concept of threesomes with poly. One is, in the usage I have encountered so far, refers to a sex act with three people, while the other is a relationship type.

You can have a poly relationship without ever having more than two people in the same bedroom at the same time. And of course you can have a threesome without being in a polyamorous relationship.

Mixing the two concepts does not help clarity at all.
That's a fairly dark view and I think a misunderstanding of what polyamory is. Couples looking to non-monogamy to solve their relationship issues is not what polyamory is, that's not healthy. Non-monogamy != Polyamory, ethical or otherwise. While polyamory takes many forms, all of them include mutual respect and communication between partners. Polyamory is having love for one or more individuals and actively being in a relationship with those individuals. I don't think you can ever expect one person to be everything, and I think for some polyamory is an alternative to leaving needs unfulfilled.
Whoa, I had no idea PDFs can have formulas.
I drag this story out most years about this time and reread it. It’s wonderfully crafted.
I totally get your perspective but what I don’t understand is these two other individuals. Are they actually happy being second best? Do they know/think they’re second best? Possibly you’re going to tell me they’re not second best and the love is equal? I think all of you have a preference and equality is impossible, but I’m willing to hear that position out.

I’m sure it’s fun, my feeling is that these situations are often fun for some of the participants but aren’t fun or become quite hellish for others. Obviously I’ve no statistics but it seems to end badly more often than not. As do most relationships, admittedly.

Further: the major source of heat loss in a sleeping bag isn't to the air, it's to the ground. Which is why backpackers carry sleeping mats, either of expanded polystyrene or self-inflating air-mattresses. In both cases, the air is the insulating element.

In primitive conditions, pine boughs or fur skins would be used.

Other than that, wear a cap, and if it's truly cold, boil water, pour it into a Nalgene (or similar) bottle, and slip that into a sock. It'll keep you toasty (often too warm) all night.

Yes, well, mostly: I’d expect you’d have to add new things to your network with some level of confirmation once–if anything, proper auth should be baked in.

But after that, wouldn’t it be great if you didn’t have separate devices anymore, but a single digital identity across all of them, with an interface to control unique capabilities of each of them?

For a banal example - there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to set a timer on our phone, and check it on a computer, or kitchen counter display. On the other hand, I can’t check on the progress of my vacuum robot from my laptop, because the vendor only offers a mobile app. I can’t pull the stats from my car at all, I can’t check a hard drive without plugging it into something compatible, I can’t easily send a big file to someone nearby. Technology should allow us to do all that.

Devices should promote their capabilities and offer a standard interface to control them, and simultaneously be able to display controls for the interface of other devices, depending on available means of input. Done well, this can actually be zero config.
