OK, so you concede that retail prices in France are about half of what they are in Germany. Great. One step at a time, I guess.

So you now claim that wholesale prices are cheaper, without subsidies I would presume. Do you have figures do back up those claims?

Not everybody agrees with you.

https://apnews.com/article/germany-economy-energy-crisis-rus...

"Germany risks “deindustrialization” as high energy costs and government inaction on other chronic problems threaten to send new factories and high-paying jobs elsewhere, "

"...a government-funded cap on industrial electricity prices to get the economy through the renewable energy transition."

I guess there may be some subsidies involved.

"...It was mistaken political decisions that primarily developed and influenced these high energy costs. And it can’t now be that German industry, German workers should be stuck with the bill.”

"A 2011 decision to shut down Germany’s remaining nuclear power plants has been questioned amid worries about electricity prices and shortages."

"In the meantime, energy-intensive companies are looking to cope with the price shock."

"“The perception of Germany’s underlying strength may also have contributed to the misguided decisions to exit nuclear energy, ban fracking for natural gas and bet on ample natural gas supplies from Russia,” he said. “Germany is paying the price for its energy policies.”"

By the way, here are some cost figure:

3,0 €Cent/kWh Nuclear, extension

3,9 €Cent/kWh Hydro

5,3 €Cent/kWh Nuclear, new

6,1 €Cent/kWh Wind on shore

7,0 €Cent/kWh solar farm

8,4 €Cent/kWh Wind offshore

11,7 €Cent/kWh solar roof

13,9 €Cent/kWh gas + steam

17,2 €Cent/kWh biomass

17,6 €Cent/kWh coal
It's interesting to me that being on A/C and Battery power showed a performance difference: when I benchmarked a M1 Pro MBPro against an Intel 2015 MBPro two years ago, I didn't notice any performance differences between being on battery or using mains power in either laptop, which surprised me at the time:

https://pixelesque.net/blog/2022/08/basic-apple-m1-pro-cpu-b...

I wonder what the difference is... Maybe my tests were too short to show the difference between mains and battery?

My partner got me one for Christmas after I had oooed and aaaahed over a prototype I saw once.

Nucor's headquarters is near my office. It's about the same size as the local Coca-Cola bottler's. No huge edifice to the CEO's ego - just a typical office building.
I agree. But that was what been described.

In my experience people are not running tests locally at all. Push to the remote, open pull request and wait for pipeline results.

In such situation the result will be the same: you will never know which commit from merge/rebase brakes your pipeline tests.

If there were no humans to cut forests down, they'd be renewing themselves too. Trees die, fall and rot. Releasing a part of their captured carbon back, and releasing some methane (a worse greenhouse gas than carbon-dioxide).

Now that there are humans to cut them down, it makes no difference in re-release of carbon, as long as we replenish the forests in the same rate as we cut them down. Which we don't, but we could.

Point being, on the grand scale of things, using (not burning) wood is fine as long as it is renewed. Letting it rot or burning it after use, is fine too. It's what the world would do without humans anyway, without that causing a run-off greenhouse effect.

Obviously, processing wood costs energy (footprint), but from what I know when I studied this stuff (early 2000s) steel and concrete are way, way (way!) worse in this, so on that scale too, wood is preferable. It really is magic stuff.

> Even if I'm not using bisect (I rarely do), having the 'git log' be polluted by merges makes it harder for me to fit everything into my head.

How and why? Done properly, a merge commit of a PR breach is semantically equivalent to a squashed PR commit, from the perspective of the "trunk"/main/master branch. It is the commit introducing all of the changes of the PR branch into the trunk branch.

If you're about to reason about squashed PR commits, you should be able to reason about merge commits. The only difference is that with merge commits you still have the individual commit granularity available, should you be interested in it.
I gave similar a shot in rust, using build.rs to dynamically create the file, inspired by the blog post. I'd been meaning to look at build.rs for a while.

It seems to hit a pretty pathological compilation situation. Done as ifs, rust ran out of stack. Done as "match" it has been compiling for about 24 hours.

> Do you dispute that Prop 8 was an effort to tear gay families apart?

Yes, for three reasons.

First, the text of the ballot initiative said and did no such thing; indeed, it left domestic partnerships untouched, which apport "the same rights, protections, and benefits, [as well as] the same responsibilities, obligations, and duties" as marriage. https://web.archive.org/web/20091116180023/http://www.leginf...

Second, Prop 8 did pass and was the law of the land until 2013, and—predictably, since, as stated above, the text said no such thing—it had no such effect.

Lastly, when not explicit in the text, divining the intent of millions of people who voted for the initiative is an exercise in folly.

By contrast, death threats and anthrax hoaxes tend to have a pretty negative effect on families. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_against_Proposition...

I don't know, it's not really easy for me (as an ignorant American who grew up on junk food) to guess how much processing is in food. I dunno if there's much difference between cow milk, soy milk, oat milk, etc. How is tofu or blueberry yogurt made? What's in a slice of sandwich cheese? Are these fancy organic crackers any different from Ritz? What's in olive oil vs canola oil? Vegan butter vs margarine?

Most of the grocery store is made up of processed flavored glops of one sort or another. The Nova classification is new to me, but would certainly be interesting information (though possibly also fearmongering).

It really wasn't any more scarce than let's say wheat. And price seems to have been around same level with wheat take or leave some depending on distance from production.

What really made it special was that it was commodity with possibly limited production locations, that kept extremely well and was in steady demand. So it is one thing that everyone uses and is relatively easy to tax. And the price likely was much more stable compared to food and other goods.

The large scale demand also lead to it being desirable as military target, once you control the production you are good.
Daihatsu CEO right now is ex Toyota regional CTO for APAC, so there's that.

One of contributing factors, as being told in news narratives, is Daihatsu relied on shortened time to market and therefore reduced engineering man-hours as a cost saving measure, and there were barely enough time for scheduled tests, let alone for delaying ones affected by known issues, which had incentivized test engineers to just rig the test and/or forge documents.

Toyota is also known for persistently demanding suppliers to contribute towards $20-30MM yearly cost saving target by reducing price by 1% every half years(~100MM and 5.85% every 3 years). That surely had contributed, and frankly that itself is a culture issue.

> The U.S. "won" Korea, Iraq, Vietnam, and Afghanistan in the same sense that they "won" WW2 - those countries were bombed back into the stone age and the existing governments fell.

I feel you're overlooking the critical fact that after the allies won WW2, Nazis didn't control Germany.

Whereas the Taliban remains in control of Afghanistan. To describe that as a US win doesn't really seem accurate.

The US did print a big 'Mission Accomplished' banner though, so I agree the folks who started the war do claim it was a victory.

I know it is not possible, and I know it is hard to implement it correctly and working on all cases, but if we could have a "git willRebaseFail" test that just checks if a clean and direct rebase is possible without touching anything, then rebase will be used a lot more. We could even have a git rebaseIfPossibleOrMergeOtherwise and set it as the default...

I think the problem is that these older people are probably looking for some kind of logic they can understand from first principles. They're used to doing stuff by directly acting.

The idea that you might have to randomly drag around an image a bit to hopefully get Word to lay it out the way you want, without actually even knowing what "the way you want" is until you see it, must be pretty alien.

To me, it's a million line layout algorithm, I don't know how it works, I don't particularly care to spend years learning all hardcoded edge cases it propably has, I just know that I've always been able to get it to work, even if sometimes I don't know how I did it. To them, it's probably like trying to use a chainsaw at the end of a slinky, they're expecting it to do what they say, but it doesn't offer any way to tell it what to do, just some latent variables that are kind of related to what you want.

This used to be fairly common. Reddit is another site. A company I worked at.aroind the same time also had .xml, .rss, .atom. .xml would serve up the raw xml our middleware generated, which was normally "rendered" via xsl (what can I say to redeem myself for that?) server side. It was great for both debugging (you could browse the site in "xml mode") and to provide an API.

I still like the url approach - being able to browse until you have the view you need, and then just copy the URL and change format in order to find the right API call can be very nice. The challenge, of course, is that you need to be very cautious about which urls you guarantee will be stable, or you'll be locked into a site structure you might regret.

My dev box died (that I used for remote work), and instead of buying something new immediately, I moved my setup to a Hetzner cloud vps. Took around 2 days. Stuff like setting up termux on my tablet and the cli environment on the vps was 90 percent of that. The plus side was that I then spent the remaining summer working outside in the terrace and in the park. Was awesome. I was able to do it because practically all of my tools are command line based (vim, etc).
You are using the word technically wrong. Whether a country is at war or not is not a technical matter, it is dependent on the facts on the ground. A war is an intense armed conflict, usually between states. Just as the US did not declare war after WWII, they have not had problems calling Russia's invasion of Ukraine a war, despite Russian statements it is just a special military operation. We all know it is a war, just like that the US has been involved in multiple wars after WWII.

I posted 1.5 months ago about how a potentially catastrophic grid event three years ago instead showed how successful the EU cooperation is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38251463

As an aside, the UK is still part of this but thanks to Brexit they got the opportunity to finance this interconnector by themselves and not avail themselves to the vast funds from the European Energy Programme for Recovery. For example Malta did and while the Malta Interconnector is not a world record in length but it certainly is in the relative amount: currently it's already above a quarter of the energy needs of Malta and in 2015 the relevant EU report said it's expected this to grow to 35% eventually.

Can you give a concrete example of when you've used the messy details of how a change was introduced at a sub-PR level?

I'm strongly opposed to squashing, but when have you found that a chronological sequence of commits-as-they-were-committed has been helpful where a sequence of heavily-cleaned-up patches would have obscured useful information?

In my experience spelunking through git history, I've only ever been frustrated at the number of different red herrings I've found in a git blame that turned out to be a failed experiment that never got merged in.

Concretely: API changes are a big one, where in the history it looks like we may have once accepted something different than we do now, but then it turns out that that change was reverted before ever making it to production. This information being in the log clutters the git blame (the function was actually last changed in 2016, but someone modified it last month only to revert the change before submitting a PR), without providing an ounce of useful information about the history of the production app.

As a rule, when debugging problems, I don't care about how your private branches changed over time, I care about how the production code changed over time.

Patch 3

This patch was quickly recognized by a reviewer to be incorrect, and the
reviewer offered up possible changes that the submitter could make in
order to turn it into a correct change. These suggestions were ignored
by the submitter and no further changes were submitted in this area.

The maintainer was attempting to mentor an obviously junior contributor,
taking time to teach the developer what the proper thing to do here
would be, and what is needed in order to have them create a
contribution that would be acceptable. The contributor knew that the
patch was bad, showing that the researchers were willing to waste the
resource that is in shortest supply in our community: the time of
reviewers and maintainers. Having this waste of an "effort of someone
trying to teach another" be created by an educational institution was
especially hurtful to the community and caused many of the bad feelings
on the community's side, further amplified by not having any idea which
patches out of the hundreds sent by UMN or from new contributors using
gmail accounts might be intentionally bad.

Summary of "Hypocrite Commits" patch attempts

All patch submissions that were invalid were caught, or ignored, by the

worked as intended when confronted with these malicious patches.

As you can see, the time that was wasted was especially valuable, and the research did not demonstrate any such thing.

One important factor is that the efficiency gains of each new mobile radio generation increase total usable throughput per MHz, which matters a lot in times of heavy simultaneous use.

A lot of the gains with each new generation come from increased spectral usage per device (more MHz, more spatial streams etc, i.e. making each device use more of a given pipe), but some of the improvements are also usually making better use of each MHz (better modulation schemes, MU-MIMO, less overhead etc.)
I agree. But you are describing a carbon neutral system. The article claims wooden wind turbines are carbon negative. This is only true on a short time scale. Once all wind turbines are wood and the first generation reaches EOL they become carbon neutral.
The truth is kids are resiliant and not stupid. generations "survived" these types of stereotypes and in 20 years someone else will be wringing their hands about the misguided stereotypes the current crop of acceptable movies is involved in (including everything you listed as a positive).

I would never hesitate to allow a child to watch any disney movie, but I definitely would hesitate to allow a child to watch Berserk or a lot of the borderline loli content. I remember watching Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and waiting for the hammer to drop on the PE teacher who was constantly creeping on the teenage girls. When the season ended and it never happened I was completely confused, it wasn't until years later I found out that's an actual trope that shows up in a lot of anime.

What I'm saying is that I don't disagree with you that there are plenty of anime that's perfectly fine for children to watch, but the other posters concern is absolutely valid too, there's a lot of anime children shouldn't be watching (opening scene of elfin lied anyone?) and your hand wringing about Disney movies not being perfect doesn't move that needle in the slightest.
> I'm not a proponent of it, but some people would say: including all the messy history is a more honest representation of what actually happened.

By that logic you should leave typos in, because, you know, it's "more honest". Or you should not edit yourself in any way, because it's "more honest".

The reality is that not editing our communications, or our commit history, is a lack of respect to others, especially when that lack of editing imposes a higher cognitive burden on others (e.g., having to sift through more hay to find needles).
That should be enough information for you to find out the details yourself. I suggest you take a look at the MicroPython web site.
Well what's interesting about it is that a perfect score would be unaffected, but anything less would be affected because wrong answers are now weighted more heavily than before.

Although I'm not sure how the SAT assigns the scores - I don't think it's as simple as a percentage correct (otherwise the score would simply be out of 100), and that there is some kind of normalization they do? Can't remember... and it might have been different then anyway.
