In this case, much of the real purpose was laid out in articles and papers written just a few years earlier by a bunch of the same people crafting and implementing the policy. There may have been more reasons than that, but some were frankly stated in public documents.

Their publications (including an open letter addressed to Clinton) lay out a case for preventative (as distinct from preemptive—what we in fact did was preventative, with some bullshit to sell it as preemptive) war over concern that Saddam might do some of the stuff we lied about to claim he was already doing it.

Pure realpolitik damn-the-legality chess-playing stuff. He seems risky (to our interests in the region—who cares about his own people?) so we better depose him, that kind of thing.

Where I live, consumers sometimes end up with solar installations, whose economic feasability relies on the compensation paid by energy companies in the case of overproduction. Which happens in the summer during daylight hours. In the winter, you buy energy at whatever rate the energy company sets. Where I live, these prices are regulated.

You can imagine that there is appeal to being able to store energy year-round, not having to deal with price regulation and energy companies.

My point is, a situation can arise where people want nothing to do with the grid unless there is no other way. Back in the day, running a steam turbine with coal in your backyard was not practical. So was dedicating an entire room for a mainframe computer. When things get miniaturized, running them in your home becomes possible.

If these flow cells, which have been around for a very long time, would somehow be practical in a scaled down form, I can see it work in a one-per-building configuration, assuming those buildings have solar panels.

However it may be preferred to either run the flow cells on a centralized grid as you suggest, or to provide it a more local level, e.g. one installation per residential block. Because people in apartments also need power.
I think a servo motor should be behind the screen and it should rotate depending on whether I look up or down or sideways. Added benefit: if you spin the screen fast enough you get a circular display! Of course this means you have to precisely time screen refresh rates and invent a new type of rotation resistant power and video cable.
Tangentially related thought: Take my advice, don't go ultra-wide. Go with a large 4k. You get more pixels for cheaper.

The only ultrawide that makes any sense is the 5k x 2k resolution one. These have more pixels than a single 4K. But they are expensive.

Even then, a 16:9 5K monitor has more pixels.

I personally use 3 x 27 inch 4K - which is cheaper than a single 5k Ultra-wide and gives you a TON more pixels.
Perhaps it is easier to understand when you remember that service is not a technical term? People provide service.

In the macro economy, service comes from other companies. If you integrate an LLM into your application, you may use the services of OpenAI. If you integrate payment processing into your application, you may use the services of Stripe. Microservices are just like services, except offered within a micro economy (think a single business).

In other words, it's a team separation technique. You let teams within a business organize as if they were separate businesses and let them offer services to each other as if they were operating different businesses.

How those teams design their software is ultimately irrelevant. The key aspect is keeping active communication between teams to a minimum, using published documentation and API contracts as the mode of communication between teams, just as we do on the macro scale. Getting another team on the phone should be as hard as getting Google on the phone – i.e. basically impossible, but also basically unnecessary.

This is done in large organizations to ensure that developers aren't forever bogged down in meetings. If you have 10,000 developers all trying to work on the same project the communication overhead will kill you. Microservices is a way to try to overcome that. Of course, it serves no purpose in a small company where an economy can't reasonably grow anyway.
You hit the nail on the head.

According to the article it is $30 Billion for 2 reactors, not 1. You may need to update your calculation
The power goals are really neat. They perfectly show what a user can expect from the sum of smaller technical updates. Kind of similar to user stories but not exactly the same since the power goals become possible after a lot of very different tasks are done.
In Poland, it's called "Earth gas" or "ground gas".
Well everything that burns fossil fuels also needs to be built, therefore also is part of the problem, the difference is they have ongoing emissions where as something like a wind turbine doesn’t.
"Desktop" encompasses everything from ultrawide 8k monitors to 768p laptop screens where the user may have scaled down the browser window - and that's on brand new hardware, I know people who are still using 15+ years old laptops!

This alone means you either handle any window size and size ratio or your UI will break for some users.
I don't know about Lenovo and Dell, but for HP, they do say what you're getting.

I'm not familiar with the Z Book line, but for the Elite and Pro Book (which we have at work - it's why I know) they give some specs. Usually, they quote NTSC coverage and backlight intensity. Now, they never say it's great, mind.

I have a top-of-the-line EliteBook screen and while it's very bright, colors aren't great and viewing angles are a bad joke. But that's likely related to the "privacy screen" feature.

One of its cousins has a lower-end screen, which is 6-bit. Its angles are fine, but it's basically unable to display real reds.

The first one was quoted as something like 72% NTSC. I forget what the other one was, but certainly below 50%.

And, indeed, these laptops are not cheap. My 14" EliteBook cost a few hundred euros less than a 14" M1 MBP with the same quantity RAM and SSD (32 / 512). Now I haven't seen the new MBP screens, but my 2013 MBP's screen runs circles around these pieces of crap. Also, battery life is comparable to my 2013 MBP, but the SSD is slower.

Nuclear is also quite a lot more expensive than people sometimes calculate here.

It cost about 35 billion USD (total cost during build, no maintenance, no fuel)
At current potential earning rates of eg. max 10ct/kWh (Georgia) and 1100 MW peak continuous operation it will take 36 years to make the money back.

That is without just investing that 35 billion into something else or even adding maintenance and fuel cost which makes the entire project never return a profit.

Now in general I like machines, and nuclear reactors are fantastic engineering feats. I dislike the potential for a meltdown of course no matter how 'unlikely'
I love how it's all this advanced stuff and then like, it's also a great angle for your garden hose.

Good point. I will make the spent effort vs. estimated effort of a feature more transparent. This will show the risk of features getting delayed because no one is working on them. If it is transparent that no one is working on a topic, one can drill down to see what the reasons are. Stakeholders than can help to unblock that situation.

If the author is serious, and works in a team, they would still need to worry about that "pesky" line length limit, though.

I really don't get the argument against short line lengths, and that they're somehow a relic of old display resolutions. I find them genuinely helpful.

Having to glance horizontally to read code is suboptimal compared to keeping my eyes fixed on a relatively narrow block. Being able to fit more documents open side-by-side without arbitrary line breaks is always helpful, especially when merging, even on ultrawide displays. This is why I still prefer shorter lengths, and try to keep it near the traditional 80 as much as possible. I compromise when working in a team and if someone has a different preference, but I never got the appeal, honestly.

+1 for team separate monitors for webdev. Although I am on macOS, I use 2x 24" (with thin bezels put next to each other) plus laptop screen. The handling of the OS "window manager" is just smoother for separate screens as opposed to ultra wide: separate workspaces per screen, shortcuts (via BTT) to move windows to a specific screen and maximize etc.

Too bad apple decided that using two external monitors is a "pro" feature and requires at least an "Pro" M1/M2/M3 processor. Even though my 2x 24" run at 1080p and I have been using them every since with my original MacbookPro from 2014 without issues...
I looked at the several of the links (1,2,3,5 to be exact) and unfortunately they did not support your claim, so I didn’t bother with the rest.

That is, unless you start with the premise that an app store on a closed platform must be open. Unfortunately this premise is the point of contention and is part of what you need to show in order for said practices to be abuse.

Happy new year.
The distiction was rather made obsolete due to the digital typography instead.
I'm using 3 monitors currently (one vertical) and I'm used to utilizing keyboard shortcuts for moving windows between screens - for example I can move window onto vertical screen and then into bottom half of it, all using keyboard.

The question for people using single ultrawide screen instead of multiples - is something like this possible to achieve? are you able to define virtual "regions" on the screen space to move windows there?
Good thing that we read the front page of HN every day, so we can just hop in the closest Hyperloop for the bulk of the trip, then travel the last mile in an autonomous electric flying robotaxi to visit our loved ones - who are not dying anyway because their desease has been crispr-ed away in the metaverse by an AGI.

You can do stupid things with "memory safe" languages too, and nothing protects you from misconfiguration. The bsd approach of just locking it down seems to be to be at least as secure if not more to me.
I don't drive, but I often use walking directions. Once, in Germany, Google sent me to my hotel through a forest that was the quickest route and a pleasant one in broad daylight, but pitch dark at the time Google recommended it.

>> It's generally not practical to shut down those facilities just because electricity prices are temporarily high.

On the surface, that sounds logic. In reality so, that is exactly what happens: as short notice reaction by big consumers (reducing or increasing consumption as needed), planning in accordance with electricity exchanges... And that behaviour is actually pretty profitable, it contributes to grid stability, enables more flexibility on the consumption side and is technically possible in a surprising number of high consumption industries (paper, chemicals, graphite, steel...).
It would take a significant political shift — which would require a significant shift in public opinion about nuclear energy — for nuclear power to gain ground in the US. Nuclear energy needs to be not just tolerated, but desired as the energy source of the future, just as renewables have been over the last 50 years, with massive funding directed into R&D and subsidies for deployment. I don't think there's any disagreement with that.

What would be required is:

* A concerted effort to develop advanced nuclear reactor designs, particularly small modular reactors (SMRs).

* Streamlining the regulatory process and adjusting its risk tolerances to more reasonable levels.

* Subsidizing the deployment of advanced reactor types (e.g. SMRs) to create larger economies of scale.

This would all be an extremely expensive endeavor, but the payoff would be robust market for small modular nuclear reactors that offer increasingly cost-competitive energy as production scales.
Keep in mind that with nuclear, the overriding cost is manufacturing.

The fuel costs are almost zero the land use is negligible, and the pollution is minimal. And of course as a base load source, there is no need for storage, unlike with intermittent energy sources, which do require it.

Crypto mining in the US consumes 1-1.5% of electricity [1]. This is very small to show on graphs like these ones.
If there is a downward trend on electricity consumption it probably just dampens it slightly.

Now, with EVs on the other hand, consumption will probably pick up a lot.

> Given that the average electric car battery can power the average home for quite a while (days), and that other EV batteries will be online...

Regular houses are too small to make it possible to install enough solar to charge the car though.

That's without even considering appartment buildings.
> the vertical space that often gets pinched by toolbars and such, effectively squishing your working area to an even wider ratio. And when working with text (reading, writing), the left and right edges of my screen are just slabs of emptiness.

Absolutely agree, and it’s amazing/infuriating when people/companies don’t realise it. My mom’s old Asus could barely fit a few lines of text on its small screen after all its toolbars in chrome. You shouldn’t need to scroll multiple times to read a 3-paragraph email on a display where it fits if it were the only text! (And of course about 60% of the space on the sides was wasted.)

I don’t have a 3:2 display yet, though I do have an old 16:10 21” monitor which is alright. My ipad (10.9”) is okayish as well, but I’m planning to buy a 16” 3:2 portable monitor soon. Do you have an 3:2 screens?
I think this concern is often vastly exaggerated. Even with current "dirty" production and transport, renewables have orders of magnitude lower lifetime emissions than fossil fuels. And this will only get better once production and transport increasingly use renewable energy.
Coming up for retirement and I have made a nice business using Delphi; it's been the right tool for the right job and that is developing Windows programs.

It's really hard to do these days but I suggest you try to find a U.S radio station that plays 60s songs. And I mean full 60s. With genre varieties. It's downright schizophrenic.

Post 66 might as well just be a different universe as far as music was concerned. You had the 50s clean cut shit lingering around doused with 'controlled risqué' Surfer Rock and neutered Elvis doing films. Sinatra and the Rat Pack are in full swing gaining Second Wind, and ...suddenly it all gets blown the fuck out with psychedelic, progressive, and raga rock. Then two years later blues and heavy metal really start bubbling in. 60's counter culture was NOT a joke. The groundwork was laid in '64 like you pointed out, but by 66 it really went off the rails. Genuine night and day difference.

That should not be difficult, plug cables into the base instead of directly into the screen and have circular donut shaped plates connecting the base and the screen instead of cables.

This is an odd discussion as llms are really bad for authoritative information distribution, they are really untrustworthy!

Ultrawides only start to make sense at about 34" and up, corresponding to 1440 pixels vertically. Anything less than that would be worthless for productivity (ie. not movies or first-person gaming) given today's UI trends of massive horizontal bars/ribbons sized for small touchscreens.

Likewise, a monitor in portrait usually needs to be at least 1200(w)x1920(h) (ie. a 24" 16:10) to be usable for browsing today's web without getting served up a mobile-specific layout too often. A reasonably-sized 1080p display in portrait can be great for stuff like text editors and terminal windows.
