"math" is just yet another (implicit and at times poorly defined) standard.

The answers are all equally "correct" given a particular set of operating rules, the interesting part is what rules they picked.

I feel my productivity boost comes from KDE/Plasma, a surprisingly good desktop environment (DE) that's almost too configurable. The ability to tweak almost every element of the DE, especially as it relates to shortcuts, has already allowed me to move around the environment faster and more readily. Also, *nix has always had the ability to do "Focus follows mouse," and I used something similar in Windows, but it just works better in not Windows. Combine this with a superior file manager in Dolphin and an extremely configurable launcher in KRunner and I'm flying around the desktop in ways that Windows just can't. There's more too, but these are probably the biggest.
I'm willing to accept I'm missing something, but overbuilding is not a sufficient approach because you still need to have generation available at night when there is no wind. Doesn't matter how much you overbuild solar and wind you can't overcome the problem of no sun and no wind.

That study isn't hiding anything, it is an attempt to estimate how much storage is required. If you adjust the solar/wind capacity (i.e. overbuild), you'll reduce the storage requirements but there are diminishing returns resulting in very expensive systems long before your solved the storage problem.

If we had grid-scale storage that was economical, it should be very easy to build a production system to demonstrate that capability. I've not seen any examples. And it certainly seems wise to actually build a system that demonstrates the viability of grid-scale storage before decommissioning base load generating capacity.
My own car is a compact, and I would rent a SUV or other large vehicle for that exact reason. Sometimes, rarely, I need a big car, I don't have one, that's what rental is for.

When travelling, I tend to prefer public transport, except when in a group or when I need to carry a lot of stuff, and again, for that I need a big car.

And not an EV. EVs are ideal when you can charge at home. When renting a car, it usually means I don't have a "home", and planning for charging points in a place you are not familiar with is a hassle. And EVs are not ideal for road trips where each leg typically exceeds the maximum range.

So yeah, I understand why rentals would be dominated by large gas cars and trucks.
„The ICAO, NATO, and FAA use modifications of English digits as code words, with 3, 4, 5 and 9 being pronounced tree, fower (rhymes with lower), fife and niner. The digit 3 is specified as tree so that it is not pronounced sri; the long pronunciation of 4 (still found in some English dialects) keeps it somewhat distinct from for; 5 is pronounced with a second "f" because the normal pronunciation with a "v" is easily confused with "fire" (a command to shoot); and 9 has an extra syllable to keep it distinct from the German word nein "no". (Prior to 1956, three and five had been pronounced with the English consonants, but as two syllables.?“

Kagi is good at filtering this stuff out. Recently I searched for some information about mobile phones, and while the Google results were contradictory and AI-generated, the Kagi results allowed me to find what I needed. I noticed something seemed off about the Google results (they were bad-looking websites with strange phrasings) which was confirmed when I discovered the different results contradicted each other.
Being able to "charge onsite" is a minor advantage, if any at all. They get to charge for cars brought back not full, and either they're active enough that they have on-site refueling (delivered by a gas truck) or they're inactive enough that sending the new guy over to the gas station isn't a major issue.
Switch updates are extremely fast. The other consoles aren’t.
> “You should also have a layer of software that lies on top of the message store that checks that any application above it which is trying to write a message, conforms to the agreed data dictionary. Otherwise, you can just write freestyle to the message store, which is what they were doing. There was no application interface in there, no agreed data catalogue or anything.”

I think we can see that this sentiment has wider support in the software community - I would put many NoSQL database adaptions into this category. Another interesting development that shares this sentiment is frontend developers desire to bypass backend layer and get direct access to the data to "easy" and "speedup" their development.

It's definitely not "just another." I believe this term implies that the framework would follow current trends, such as Components, Templates, etc.

HTMX is different and incorporates some old JSF-like ideas, which makes it feel fresh for some developers, especially those who don't really want to learn React, Angular, Vue, and others.
I can't read the original article, but presumably it treads the same ground as similar articles [1], which in turn generally reference [2]. Past articles talking about screening include [3].

Generally supports the view that early screening and detection are largely responsible

> Archie Bleyer, a clinical research professor at the Knight Cancer Institute of the Oregon Health & Science University, says the surge in cases of thyroid cancer, as well as kidney cancer, is at least partly a result of “overdiagnosis” due to increased screenings, both for cancer and for other health concerns. The screenings have detected tumors and masses in those organs that “look like cancer, so they’ve got to call it carcinoma,” he explains. But they “would never have been a problem if they were never picked up,” because they typically wouldn’t spread or progress.

I think this is rapidly becoming the consensus view, but the subject is complicated. In the long term, these early detections might lead us to the point where they can become more accurate, and we are better able to distinguish between tumors and masses that would progress and those that would not, but I'm not personally very optimistic; there are two many variables -- the same imaging between multiple facets of environment/genetics/diet/metabolism/chance might have wildly different outcomes.

> The longevity of the issue is also troubling. Even low-level Fujitsu employees, aware of the system's flaws, remained silent. Despite widespread media coverage and a string of wrongful convictions, leading even to suicides, not a single person within a large team exhibited any kind of moral responsibility or something that looked like a conscience. Their silence, just makes you believe again in conspiracy theories, and raises concerns about the integrity of modern IT systems and AI that we rely on.

Completely agreed. This is why ethics in our profession are important, and yet all too often dismissed.

The most powerful abstractions are typically not free. The rate of performance improvement from improvements in hardware has slowed down and might continue slowing down. Thus, the pressure to learn what happens behind various abstractions might actually increase, if advantageous performance improvements can primarily be obtained by peeling back the layers of abstraction at the cost of some development efficiency, since you can't just wait a couple of years for hardware to develop to a point where it can handle your inefficient abstraction anymore.
I say more power to them. I was considering buying a "luxury" vehicle and realized that the cost (between insurance, personal property tax, opportunity cost / apr, increased gas, depreciation) was $2,000 a month. Instead I said, "What if I just keep my camry, blow through $2000 a month on other stuff instead." (if you lease this number is closer to $3k a month)

It's just wild how leather seats + 50% faster acceleration = 30,000 extra dollars.

Anyways the margins are nuts and we're due for some disruption and real competition for real features. Call me when a car washes itself.
Not the OP (though I am the GP), but by far the strongest variable correlated with massive drops in TFR is at least basic education of women.

So support local school systems with all might, which also means countering prejudice and religious bigotry of some locals. Once every girl has a chance to stay in school until at least 14 years of age, TFR will drop by more than half.
Based on the comments here it looks like people are really attached to dashboards. I don't think dashboards are completely going away, but people are not using dashboards properly. There are too many dashboards in every org that no one uses. And definitely, we need something more interactive, that acts based on the end-goals that we need instead of drowning in charts.
If I go into a police station and file a police report saying you stole $50,000 from the Post Office branch you ran, one would hope that I'd also have to prove it. If I filed a civil complaint against you, I'd have to produce evidence.

In both cases, if I lied by, for example, saying that I had evidence that I did not, I could and should be charged with a crime, in the very least making a false report and/or making a false statement to the court.

Yet we let companies do this with IT systems all the time. Hertz famously accused people of stealing cars that they did not [1]. The same principle should apply: whoever OKed such a system should be charged with a crime.

All these systems make the same mistake: they want to replace humans. If you want to do that, you should be on the hook legally for the results but really it shouldn't be allowed.

It's completely fine if Hertz designed a system that flagged people for not returning cars (ie stealing them). That would get sent to a person. That person would review the information, check if it was an error or not and, if not, file a police report. That human would be responsible for maaking a false police report in the case of an error. Any errors could then be addressed as bugs with the systems provider.

Likewise, for Horizon, by all means automate the review of financial records. Find what you think are fradulent transactions. That gets spit out to a report. That report may then be investigated by, say, a financial accounting firm who is responsible for determining the facts and, if necessary, taking legal action.

You see how this version aids a person doing this job and the actual versions of these replaces the humans? A human can't necessarily review every transaction of the postal system so automating fraud detection makes sense.

What doesn't make sense is allowing the systems provider and the government agencies that enabled this off the hook because of "bugs".

I think the fact that their #1 pick was an affiliate product shows what could really be behind the curtain. Is Wirecutter being paid to bump up their reviews for products or at least being paid to trash other products in comparison? It's like doing a review on a Toyota Corolla while at the same time comparing it to a Mercedes E63 AMG. Yes, I'm sure the Mercedes is better looking, more comfortable, much faster, and can overall out perform the Corolla but it costs 4x as much and cost you much more in gas. If you need the absolute best in performance, buy the AMG. If you just need something to get to work at the best value, buy the Corolla. Just about every shootout-style review worth it's salt will have different categories: best overall laptop, best gaming laptop, best 17in laptop, best compact, and best value. In this case, the IKEA air purifier should have been compared to something of similar price and something of similar performance. As a consumer, I'm interested in those two metrics, either I've got a general idea of how much I'm willing to spend and looking to get the best performance at that price or I'm looking for a certain level of performance due to health issues and want to get the cheapest thing that can do it. Features can come into play but most of these purifiers are dead simple: a fan, a filter, a speed controller, and a timer to change the filter. Obviously Wirecutter can't survive on being totally independent and taking no money from anyone but it is incredibly disingenuous if they are accepting money to promote one product and trash any competition. IKEA is a very popular brand and lots of people are going to be looking at online reviews. Slipping in what could potentially be an advertisement into the review is worthy of involving the FTC if it's not being clearly disclaimed.
Again, there are many important reasons - it sounds like you're just too isolated from this to understand the context you're missing. You should find one of your customer-facing coworkers and sit in on a call some time if you'd like to learn.

This is often brought up and I'm fully willing to be shown that I'm out of touch, but where are people buying these supposed "expensive" eggs and groceries? I'll literally share my last grocery receipt (admittedly smaller due to already having most ingredients):

- Chicken thighs $6.24

- Ground beef $5.97

- Feminine items $9.97

- Bell pepper $0.82

- Lettuce $1.77

- Celery $2.98

- Shrimp $7.92

- Tortilla soup $3.82

- Yogurt (single) $0.64

- Diced tomatoes $0.96

- Black beans $0.82

- Yogurt (pack) $2.47

- Andouille sausage $3.94

Total: $51.24

Sampling from other receipts I've got milk at $3.33, lunchmeat $4.46, my last gas bill was $18.65 to fill up. So far in January, shopping at Walmart and with a crockpot, I've been able to feed myself and my girlfriend for around $139.

Yeah, places that I'm used to working do things like: when covid hit and work dried up, the company told employees to go out and find charity work and the company would pay your full salary to do the charity work.

They share in the profits with the employees and such.

I mean sure, it's not 100% a save job. If something truly terrible happened and the company went bankrupt etc, then of course you can still lose your job.

But no time have I ever seen or felt like they would ever lay off people unless the company literally couldn't go on to survive some other way.
> Hertz doesn’t penalize you for returning a discharged EV like they do for returning a gas car

depending on the branch they absolutely do. Many now have requirements you have to return it charged to a certain % or be charged just like gas.

Im in the wg14 and this is not true. The later versions of the C standard are not dependable and diverges quite a bit from implementations. There are lots of things in the C standard text that you should not depend on. There are in fact extensions that are more commonly implemented than standard features, and some standard features that hav no known implementations.

I hope to work on a guide for developers who want a “dependable-C” where they can guarantee it will compile and run correctly in as many implementations as possible.

> Unencrypted web traffic?

I don't know if you're aware, but basically all sites on the internet use something called SSL these days. However, SSL is useless if you use a VPN that also provide DNS servers (which most do) - because the provider could listen in on all of your traffic by hijacking the handshake, DNS and traffic to and from any target server - making it much easier to create a user profile, because you're authenticated to the VPN.

Also, third party cookies are blocked in the mainline browsers by default, making VPNs even more useless.

Most if not all of the ISPs also use dynamic IPs, making it unlikely to be cross-site-tracked based on IP sources.

I think the majority of the blame should be on the higher ups at the Post Office as they weren't so much negligent as being malicious. Fujitsu were more likely incompetent, but they weren't the ones who prosecuted the sub postmasters and perjured themselves.

TF2 is my favorite game, and basically the only game I play. While playing on Valve servers can be troublesome in off hours, its usually bot free when playing during peak times.

I agree that most business communication is pretty low-quality. But after reading your post with the kind of needlessly fine-tooth comb that is invited by a thread about proper English, I'm wondering how it matters. You yourself made a few mistakes in your post, but not only does it scarcely matter, it would be rude of me to point it out in any other context (all the same, I hope you do not take offence in this case).

Correct grammar and spelling might be reassuring as a matter of professionalism: the business must be serious about its work if it goes to the effort of proofreading, surely? That is, it's a heuristic for legitimacy in the same way as expensive advertisements are, even if completely independent from the actual quality of the product. However, I'm not sure that 100% correct grammar is necessary from a transactional point of view; 90% correct is probably good enough for the vast majority of commerce.
> Same reason behind why someone may be willing to post a relationship situation to r/relationship_advice and yet not talk about the same thing with family and friends.

I ask that you consider the people who use Reddit and the people who run Reddit independently. The people who use Reddit are not in a position of power over someone who asks for advice. The people who run Reddit on the other hand, are in a position of power to be able to emotionally manipulate the person who asked for advice. They can show you emotionally manipulative posts to keep your attention for longer. They can promote your post among people who are likely to respond in ways that keep you coming back.

OpenAI has a similar position of power. That's why you shouldn't trust people at either of those companies with your private thoughts.
