I recall, at least some of the early models, using cheap TN panels designed only to last 5-6 years.

However they required multiple thousands to swap (iirc it was 3-5k) and the car was basically non-functional without it.

That is a very hard pass for me.

> "Future potential .. enormous"

With foreseeable technology VR is always going to need something that covers large parts of your head, covering at least your eyes and ears. This is fine in specific cases like gaming, but it seems very unlikely to be something everyone uses all the time.
I think the sorts of aliens that would turn up around here wouldn’t have the daily living habits of humans. Consider spending one’s life in pods or completely genetically engineering the physical form to itself be merely a vessel for the curious life it carries?

When asking about others we cling too readily that our ways and perspectives are universally shared.
Ctrl-F, “coconut”… was not disappointed. PC Gamer was an astounding resource in my childhood.
Right, that’s how I meant it.
Yes, for cheap chocolate I completely agree. I pack out a few Snickers every time I'm in the UK because the taste is so markedly different and better.
It felt like forever from when I first saw a laptop in a magazine ad and wanting it, to eventually getting it Christmas 2005. But it was probably only like four years.
There's beanstalkd, it has a few Python libraries and it works out of the box with ActiveJob via Backburner.

You could have said the same thing about the first cases of sending electronic mail. But once that ball got rolling it didn’t take long for e-mail to take over the world.

We’ve already gotten to the point where over-construction of renewables and energy storage to scale to peak seasonal demand is the cheapest way to get energy. The only barrier to get there now is we don’t have the production capacity to transition faster.

It’s now basically inevitable that renewables will result in energy too cheap to meter most parts of the year in most places. It’s just a matter of time to build it.

Check Tony Sebas recent presentation on The Great Transformation. If you want more practical/empirical details you can check Mark Z Jacobsens studies.

It’s kind of funny that people are now saying that solar is “only” providing 10% of electricity or whatever it may be in a given region. Just a decade or two ago people like Tony Seba was thought to be crazy for predicting that solar would reach this point this fast.

Look at any instance of technology transitions “logistics curves” (“S-curve”). When you get to past the 10% point the new technologies take over incredibly quickly.
My first sysadmin job ( along with webmaster and HTML/CGI programmer introduced me to UNIX and Xenix in particular.
I immediately started spelunking around the system with my root account.
I soon discovered that something seemed odd with the use of system resources.
Poking some more I discovered some “hidden” folders.
Turns out someone hacked the ftp server and setup a warez and porn distribution.
(Possibly it could have been the former sysadmin who had set it up).
I notified higher ups, removed the content and removed the ftp server.

A few days later the server crashed hard.
Opened it up.
The hard disk was leaking fluid.
Notified the higher ups.
Found myself in a taxi hauling the server of considerable size and weight to a taxi.
We went to a contracted Xenix support center.
Tney said there was nothing they could do to recover files.
Stuffed in a replacement drive, installed a fresh version of the OS.
Said they would send the broken drive to a different company.
Hauling it back, get it setup.
Two days later, the ftp site was up and running again.

I repeated what I did the last time.
Then I sat down to read and understand the system at a far deeper level than I had so far.
If we're talking about early masters of stop-motion, Ladislas Starevich also deserves a mention (although his most famous film, Le Roman de Renard had sound).

Yes, EVs. No need to build specialized energy storage systems. If we have 10s of millions of EVs (to start with) and eventually 100m+, thats a gigantic energy reservoir that you can dump all excess energy. The best part is some of that energy is used every day, freeing up capacity for tomorrow's free renewable production.

And its distributed, no need to add new transmission lines, available to every grid, today.
Most of my devs are in Europe and I pay slightly above market rates in those areas. Perhaps not enough though.
It is fading, and it hasn't been in widespread use for quite some time. However when I was in the UK, I definitely heard "tha" and "thissen" (yourself) on numerous occasions, mostly in common idioms and phrases, in South Yorkshire, especially around Barnsley and Rotherham. I don't think I ever heard it in major metropolitan areas like Manchester or Liverpool though.
Which See’s do you grab? I’ve tended to find them a touch too sweet, though I suppose that can be fixed with a dash of salt.
This was tried in Texas though, and my understanding was the capital costs were too high to not run the units constantly.

More likely the sink will be - as it already is in commercial steel projects like Hybrit - electrolysis.
Ah yes, if your tastes aren't like my tastes, you eat like a child.

Watching the road simply isn't enough. You need to be alert and ready, which is countered by the system that lulls you into a false sense of security and makes you doze off.

"Tesla did their part" is such a lazy cop out.
Don't use that then. Tell that vendor their security posture is bad.
I'm limited to about 12kw of power draw, so I could make maybe 50pence an hour, on a really really windy day. As an industrial consumer, you probably could chow down that power, but it'll affect the market price, and probably cost millions in connection/line rental fees.

The price is a function of the spot price, so its an indirect function of the way electricity prices are set. As a producer you get a guaranteed minimum price per kwh. some magic of contracts happen and the price paid is not always the price the producer gets.

I meant it to be funny without being ironic. I think this is worth doing if you enjoy this kind of thing. So far the ones I've written about on the site have saved 5g + 0.1g + 0.5g (corners) + 2g = 7.6g, and there's lots more to come.
That title is super misleading?
Why can Google optimize their apps for their browser? Their mobile OS? Their Chromebooks and phones?

Apple locks down their platforms for security and safety. The majority of their users benefit more from not getting malware and junk apps than they miss by not having Chrome or Firefox. A small minority of users get inconvenienced. Don’t like it? Use Android.

Apple sells consumer electronics. Developers looking to replace a Macbook with an iPad — something I’ve done and written about — represent a negligible fraction of Apple’s customers.

In my opinion, it is very healthy for tech companies to chase different gold rushes. Would look stupid if all of them chased the same flavour of the year like blockchain, crypto, self-driving cars, AI and so on. I’d rather see them dissect the new tech and apply it to their core products.

And your argument doesn’t hold strong when you step outside tech circles. Successfully selling AirPods to 75 year old grandmas looks more impressive to me than 25 year olds using ChatGPT. I understand it sounds extremely stupid, but both of the aforementioned tech giants are making generally smart moves. Will be interesting how eventually Microsoft applies OpenAI products into hardware, because they don’t really have much (compared to Apple and Google).
FWIW, two of the most famous Legalists, Han Fei and Li Si were Xunzi's students.

In a sense, the Legalists and Confucians had a strange marriage, and they kept the name Confucianism because the credibility of the Legalists proper took a big hit when the Qin dynasty (founded on legalist principles) crumbled within a short period of time.
This is also self-reinforcing, since apps worth paying for are released on ios first.
Being able to understand the machine code generated by AOT and JIT compilers, and how it maps to the higher level code.
For the second person plural, variations like "youns", "yous" and "yis" are used frequently in the informal speech of rural Northern Ireland. Though you risk being jeered and taken less seriously if these were spoken in a formal or business setting - it would give you a distinct rural twang.

You may or may not consider these better than "youse", though I will say "yous" before "y'all" (quaint American import) regardless of context to the day I die.
No fan of Tesla(rented one, hated it), but you have a point. Subaru had two different firmware issues that caused us to be stranded two different times(the battery charge issue and the fuel gauge issue). Both were known issues when we were stranded, but Subaru failed to notify us. I had to go to the dealer and specifically request the firmware updates.

Now, granted, my Subaru has a wonderfully designed interior, doesn't require using a touchscreen, has consistent panel gaps, etc...
I toured an NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) facility in Boulder around 1979; got to sit on a seat on their Cray-1. So yes, weather and climate calculations.
> I would probably take a job with a small games company

This is the direction I am headed in. Once my boring SaaS/banking app money pile gets big enough, I'd like to get (back) into building new gaming experiences.
> This is where ya lose me... Tesla doesn't have a 'PR department'

He probably means he contacted the email address listed under the heading "Press" on their contact page. At any other company the department that handles that address would be called the PR department.
Happy high school life is a myth, everyone studies hard for university or training due to increasing competition.
Our customers use their HVAC to “pre-cool” or (more often, pre-heat) their homes when rates are low.. but you need a house with enough thermal mass and insulation that it can go 4-5 hours just “coasting”, which I guess is more common in cold climates with water-borne heat and masonry buildings..
Its Cisco. They already know that.
Improved `__attribute__((cleanup))` through `defer`
FWIW, I've worked with professional cartographers, and a huge part of their focus was designing _how_ the information was displayed. They weren't specifically experts on the geography itself, though naturally they did have some steong knowledge there.
Negative prices generally come from large thermal plants, usually nuclear or coal, bidding negative since their ramp times are too slow to lower their output for the negative period and then be able to increase it again for when prices are expected to become positive again.

They are generally unfit for modern grids which require dispatchable energy, and is why "baseload" is an outdated term on the power generation side, while it of course still exists on the consumer side.

I hope things turn around for you. Here are two sayings that I lean on when times are tough:

I'm sorry, I try to be clear in my writing. I did say "my electricity company emailed me" which was supposed to indicate that this was specific to my local area.

London, where I live, has about 9 million people. So I suppose it also applied to them as well.

And, I also pointed to a chart of the UK's energy mix. That was supposed to indicate that my blog post was about the UK.

As others have pointed out, these <= £0 prices happen fairly frequently.
I'm sure many architectures are nicer than amd64, but that's what the CPU in my laptop uses, as well as my Steam Deck. If I want to get into low-level hacking it's easiest to start with the hardware I have, no?
Purely a data point, and not meant to be persuasive, but I bought a heat pump dryer this year, largely because of the ventless operation. Dryer lint fires are frightening.

Heat pumps could save money in new construction by reducing the amount of copper, too. Builders will be all over that if it becomes acceptable.

I think we’ll find that there are other benefits that come with new technology beyond the direct electricity consumption.

Worst cases, though, if all the electricity is produced in clean methods, how much does it matter that we’re not using it as efficiently as we could be?
The whole fanbase is wondering the same! They have done a variety of multimedia experiences beyond light shows at their festivals and New Years Eve shows so are no strangers to using different tech.

The most interesting thing will be how the improvisation is handled. A large chunk of Phish shows are all improvised which means no pre-programmed visuals. This is very different to U2 which has the entire show planned and programmed.
Interoperability: I believe we can do interoperability by selectively wrapping the necessary imports in 'unsafe'. From there, it's up to the implementer to decide whether to handle it as a 'Result' or an 'Option'.

Browser, Std lib: Yes, the language should still be able to run in the browser and will provide a std but will not transfer each time, the benefit of writing a compiler would be that we can do dead-code-elimination and target native javascript methods instead of something like wasm.

Lifetimes: Honestly, currently I'm only working on the simplest transpiler but I would like to explore using typed arrays as the stack, heap.
Every time I have to interact with a "captive portal", I'm annoyed at the hack implemented through DNS hijacking, rather than implementing and extending 802.1X and/or another layer-2 authentication scheme. The idea seems to have been tossed aside entirely. Instead, every device has to have a web browser. There's not even a way to do surrogate registration for devices that don't have browsers, with Apple TV and Nintendo Switch at launch (added later) being prime examples. IoT and headless gear is also a pain. On trips, I end up bringing my own travel router and using my laptop to auth it by proxy, but it's another thing to remember to bring.

The warehouse is like the scene at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, where they file away the artifact into a box to be placed alongside countless shelves of other artifacts. I wouldn't say it's filthy as much as I would say it's dark and cluttered- they can really use some more structured organization and inventory management. They get donations of really large equipment, and their first priority is that it has a place where it won't be scrapped. But they have a ton of stuff, a small staff and modest budget, so they do what they can.

One story they told me is that they are contacted by TV and movie production companies that need period-specific computers and props, so they'll pack up and send out various equipment and lease them out. They come back cleaned up and in better shape than when they sent them out.
I appreciate that you posted this, even though it looks like it didn't get much attention.
The link you pointed to doesn’t have any empirical data and the paper it links to doesn’t seem to load. Regardless, we’re 30 years from the 90s now and if anything it seems like productivity has been accelerating since then (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/OPHNFB), arguably because of technology.

Also, what’s the argument for Facebook killing newspapers? Craigslist was siphoning off a main source of newspaper revenue for papers long before Facebook arrived. Would you also argue against the end result of moving on from local classifieds sections?
> wind power genuinely became too cheap to meter.

No, it didn’t. The grid must always be in balance. Wind power production can’t be ramped up or down as needed. Overproduction could cause a surge on the grid, that would in fact be a massive liability for the power company.

Power became free for those periods because it was the cheapest option for the producer.

Kind of how it happened when crude oil was trading at negative $57 per bbl. The contracts came with an obligation that was impossible to meet, thus it was easier to pay someone to take them off your hands.
There's a nice archive of many of the popular computer magazines - including PC World, MacWorld, MacUser, Byte - available here: https://vintageapple.org

Over the past few years, as magazines have gone from print to online-only, I've subscribed to some of them via Zinio ( https://www.zinio.com ). They carry PCWorld, Maximum PC, Macworld, MacLife, and more. Their "reader" is nice, but I do wish it supported downloading the magazines as PDFs.

One magazine that is available in print and online is MagPi magazine ( https://magpi.raspberrypi.com ). Its emphasis is on Raspberry Pi. You can download back issues for free, and the print version is often available at bookstores such as B&N.

Almost certainly no. Unlike the assertion made, she didn’t need to escalate it.
ahem Japanese vehicles in the 1970s and 1980s were beating US car makers in quality and the Japanese auto companies were, get this only, 30 years old!

It does not take a century to match up quality engineering with QA processes than take those inputs and re-make the automation line.
Certainly, even in British English I remember when my bank moved from formal text messages to 'friendly' on the basis of a survey I never remember receiving.

It is weird getting a balance update with "Hi" as the leader and emoticons throughout. We're not chums, just give me the news in the most emotionless manner possible.

I would assume that tradition derives from similar offerings being made to faeries or hearth deities in return for their favor, in which case you're not trying to convince Santa to give you more gifts but rather to not to steal your children and replace them with changelings or lumps of coal because you offended his weird elf sense of hospitality.
Get yourself a router that supports OpenWRT, install that on it and figure out what every configuration option does. Bonus points: setup WPA Enterprise on it and a DNS resolver.
This would be a big footgun though. That already happens for initialising class members in constructors and it's enough of a footgun that compilers have a warning to tell you if your initialisation order is different to the declaration order.
> if your tastes aren't like my tastes, you eat like a child

Read it again. I like milk chocolate. But in America, the target market for milk chocolate is kids. So the sugar content is amped and the flavour profile is simplified.

Also, there is nothing wrong with eating like a child. I like Sour Patch Kids and gummy bears. But it is eating like a kid.
Cool. Compiled easily, made a binary that does look like a text editor, let me make new files and edit an existing one. Only linked against libc, about a thousand lines of C.

So yeah, that is indeed a working text editor that doesn't link against ncurses and the like. Smaller than I would have expected it to be.

Which is self correcting.

1. Negative/low/volatile prices => Storage is worth constructing to arbitrage the price rather than new generation.

2. Prices smooth out.

3. More power generation get built to take advantage of smoothed out prices.

4. And the cycle repeats.

Looking at the market as frozen in time will never match reality.
Generals Problem
More likely: it will not.

My gut says that Microsoft, at an institution level, can not coordinate and build software at scale because they have two opposing requirements:

1. Legacy software must continue to work

2. Rewriting large swathes of the OS is not in scope

MS will continue to add new paint jobs to the UI, more confusing layers for settings, and other "killer features" like ads in your OS, AI, and search that searches everything but your files until the world moves on to some upstart alternative with less baggage.
I meant that I would label the button that resets the internet connection "internet reset", and there would be nothing weird or amusing about that. Because my native language is Finnish, English words often have subtly different meanings to me than to a native English speaker, even when we agree on the literal meaning of the word.
