I don't know about official policy, but I think in Denmark district heating (fjernvarme) is still the preferred option where it's available.

Copenhagen's system is enormous, covering most of the city. It's powered by 69% biomass (wood and straw), 16% renewable waste, 8% non-renewable waste, 4% oil, 3% gas, 0% coal.

It's just a zip file with HTML documents and some (ePub-specific) XML files to define metadata, chapters, and a few things like that. I use this "epub-edit" script to edit them:

#!/bin/zsh
#
# Extract epub file to a temp directory, launch shell to edit it, and re-zip
# it. Nothing about this is really epub-specific as such.
echo " $@" | grep -q -- ' -h' && { sed '1,2d; /^[^#]/q; s/^# \?//;' "$0" | sed '$d'; exit 0; } # Show docs
[ "${ZSH_VERSION:-}" = "" ] && echo >&2 "Only works with zsh" && exit 1
setopt err_exit no_unset no_clobber pipefail

full=$1:a

tmp=$(mktemp -d)
bsdtar xf $1 -C $tmp

cd $tmp
print "Editing $1; press ^D to exit"
zsh ||:

mv -f $full $full.orig
zip -f $full *
cd -
rm -r $tmp

And then I use vim to edit the HTML files and such.
Seems like someone high up didn't want to spend too much on an "untested" method in case it didn't work as expected, and it didn't work as expected because they cheaped out so they won't be able to put more money.

Would you accept that kind of reasoning for software running on your pacemaker, or on your insuline pump?

I think we should respect the developers here: they're not claiming production quality level (they're claiming beta-quality level) so it's not correct to use that library in any kind of product and claim any kind of production-level quality.
Personaly speaking, it was nice when it was all there was, but there is no conceivable world where I would go back to those 90's machines. The machines were heavy and slow, the OS was limited, and the vast majority of features I take for granted now are missing.

I get the nostalgia, but computing is a different, and in many ways much better place than it was then.
Hence my mention of setting it up more like a licensing thing, where the code remains free for personal and small commercial use, but you have to pay once you hit X$ amount of revenue.

Are there companies that are gonna try to dodge it? Sure. Same happens with companies that refuse to open source modified GPL code. But the majority plays ball. Same with this funding, we wouldn’t be looking for perfection but for an improvement on the current situation.
WASI aka redoing CLR Common Language Specification.

>> The data for the US shows young men in the US staying relatively around the center after a brief left shift in '08, but young women have skewed far to the left. So the gap shouldn't have much to do with the material conditions of men, in the US at least.

> Or, that same data could be use to show that women have stayed relatively around the center and men of skewed far to the right. After all, "the center" is not an absolute objectively defined concept.

I would assume any study of that data worth being called as such would have put all its measurements on some standard scale to determine who actually moved.

"The center" may not be an "objectively" defined concept, but "men stayed the same" and "women moved" can be quantified objectively.
Then unlock it. The law explicitly allows jailbreaking.
Thing is, you can't really cut the feature set much. Nobody needs 90% of the features but for almost everyone there's some 10% of the less-used features that's a must-have, a total dealbreaker if the other tool doesn't have them or does them poorly; and that's a different 10% for different people, so if you have a cut-down feature set you lose many people - some because you don't have A, some because you don't have B, some because you don't have Z, and they all instead use the same old, complex tool that has support for "their thing".

> it's easy to argue that he was in fact targeting very competent peoples

Competent in other fields of endeavour, sure.

Jobs was in the business of selling computers that looked (and worked) good to people who would otherwise hate computers. Dealing with geeks was always (and still is) a necessary evil, so he'd have enough of an ecosystem to sell to "normies".

Jobs fundamentally hated the Macintosh and tried very hard to get away from it very early (Newton, anyone?). Once he got back on the saddle, his first Big Idea was to wrap them into colourful shells, and fuck the tech inside (jesus, was the first iMac dog-slow!). His second idea was to co-opt FOSS and Java developers, again to have enough geeks building stuff for his platform; they would be unceremoniously dropped once the iPod got traction and he could finally get to run the "better Sony" he always wanted to have.

The rest is just stories he told to power his reality-distortion field.

I mean is this all too different from a grunt worker at a huge corporation that's completely unable to do anything for you? How many low-tier employees of various companies I'm forced to deal with in one way or another are substantially different from an LLM? To me I mean, obviously they are different in that they are human, but if they are:

* Actively prevented from having agency due to policies

* Prevented from resolving my problem due to low rank

* Cannot speak their minds because marketing controls communication

* Are unable to deviate from a predetermined scripted response set

Like... does their humanity even count anymore? It seems tons of large businesses these days employ call center employees who's sole job is to take abuse from angry customers knowing full well they cannot offer any actual solutions, because the business already has their money and isn't interested in serving them further.

I love iGPUs too, but they are great until they're not...

In my recent experience on an Intel z790/i7-14700K system, getting a signal during boot (e.g., when you want to go into BIOS) was not reliable (usually worked, but sometimes not). When connected to a portable 1280x720 monitor I use when setting up systems, parts of the BIOS screens were a garbled mess. Plugging in a discrete GPU fixed that.

I've also encountered weirdness on the same system where I couldn't disable secure boot until I booted from a discrete GPU (and then after that, on iGPU, I could enable/disable at will). Plus CSM is not an option when booting from certain Intel iGPUs: https://www.asus.com/me-en/support/FAQ/1045467/

Or even better, with AMD APUs 4 years ago, if you used a discrete Radeon GPU instead, you'd lose sound over HDMI: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/d5emmk/agesa_bug_no_so...
It feels like a bit of doomed a project simply bc browsers don't open EPubs.

While browsers don't provide a convenient UI for opening EPUBs, they should have no problem rendering the chapter HTML files contained within.

In the absence of browser support, writing a server-side EPUB-to-browsable site proxy that adds chapter navigation controls and simple layout options shouldn't be too difficult.

Incorporating the necessary DRM support required to view the majority of commercial ebooks through such a proxy would very likely be legally problematic, of course.

Come to think of it, any form of publisher-approved DRM EPUB browser support sounds like it'd be about half a technical step away from DRM support for web pages in general, which is a horrifying prospect.

There's no thermodynamic reason that it couldn't work the way you want it to, but the physical connections and electronics controls need to be designed to accommodate that, either with direct connections on the outdoor unit or via a 'branch box' that serves as a connection point for both the refrigerant and electronic control circuits.

It's most likely that the installer was correct in that the outdoor unit you had maxed at two and did not have a smooth expansion path.

I recommend you do not use a visa agent to get a long-term Thai visa (1yr). They will charge about 25k THB ($700) and my understanding is that at least 10k THB of that goes directly to the immigration officer as a bribe. It also means less work for the officer, as they just automatically stamp submissions by a trusted agency (they know it will be accurate and complete).

Note, that bribing public officials is an offence in your home country, if you are from US, UK, EU, (... OECD), because FCPA, UK BA etc. Doing your own application, without any bribe, is the best approach, ethically and financially (but not for stress and hassle :) Make it a point of honor to do the application yourself.

Well many times a founder will do this knowingly to get/keep someone who has other options like much better salary elsewhere, etc.

Not saying it's wrong approach, but have also seen the resentment the original "hustler" has later when this "co-founder" doesn't have the same drive. E.g. thinking "It's not fair", etc. even though they were desperate for the help when they had little money.
Are you considering the resources it took to create the chip itself? If you’re running a single threaded process on a multi core machine and nothing else, the rest of the processor is being wasted.

Further, the way modern processors conserve power is by the “race to sleep”. If it can complete the task quickly, the processor enters a lower power sleep mode. Therefore a language that allows us to easily write multithreaded code will reach this state quicker and consume less power. It’ll be “greener”.

Chris may have missed what may be the most probable reason.

Integrated graphics onboard the CPU's eviscerated the sales of "low end graphics cards" to the point that few to no makers are building and selling "low end cards" because there simply is no market left for basic graphics cards.

For the user that is satisfied with their integrated graphics, they have no reason at all to buy a separate card, and for the users who do want a separate card, most want the high power GPU cards, not a card that is little more than the onboard GPU but on a plug in card.

It is the same reason why parallel/serial I/O cards disappeared (when most motherboards began integrating onboard parallel/serial ports, sales of standalone cards would have collapsed) or sound cards (same reason, if onboard is "good enough", no additional sale of a separate card occurs).

In my younger, crazier days when I was OK with giving up work/life balance, I dealt with this by not really trying to get things done in the office (by which I mean not bothering trying to reach or maintain flow state). Instead, I'd mostly warm my office chair and do my real work after hours at home.

Now, though, I think "screw that". I want a life. So I just found a way to accept that working in an office environment means that I won't be able to do my best or most efficient work and don't worry about making up for it on my off time.

If the nameservers are already pointing at Cloudflare when you try to set up an account, Cloudflare will ask you to set a different pair of nameservers.

I learned this when I was transferring a whole bunch of domains over, and I noticed it kept asking me to use the same nameservers. So I started setting the nameservers in advance of trying to import the domain into Cloudflare, to save a little time. And then... Cloudflare started asking me to use different nameservers, and wouldn't serve content until I did.

So even if you create 2500 accounts trying to claim the same domain, I suspect it will never give you the pair that's already configured, and therefore you won't be able to claim it. I also suspect it won't give any two accounts the same nameserver pair.

(I'm a Cloudflare employee but my knowledge above is only based on my observations as a user; I don't work on this part of the system. I have no idea what actually happened to OP.)

Reverse engineering APIs is fair use, not simply using APIs. Eg when Google implemented their own implementation of Java APIs, that was deemed fair use. Google only copied the interface. The courts ruled you can build a competing product that copies an interface for compatibility, just like Compaq did with IBM’s BIOS. Google absolutely would have been on the hook had they used Oracle’s implementation of the APIs.

I lived in a very nice neighborhood in a large East Coast US city, and all but the "sex trade" where things my child was exposed to daily. Hiding my child from them or not letting him walk to school with a friend because of them didn't feel particularly useful, so learning how to navigate that environment was the approach we took.
You could also point out that the SNP got 3.9% of the total vote and 7.8% of the total seats. I don't have a solution to this, the game has to be played under the existing rules, but I don't think this means it's "less democratic". Certain measures are definitely anti-democratic (for example, the voter ID issue), but the system itself is what it has been for a long time.

I still think that a partial driver of Brexit was that UKIP didn't get a single seat, despite getting a large proportion of the vote. That may have exposed their shallowness as well as sating their voters somewhat, but looking at Europe just now (e.g. the AfD in Germany) maybe that's naive of me.

This is a fair statement, but it represents an incomplete truth. Quick term run down, then some quick math.

COP: Coefficient of Performance. This is a ratio of how much you can augment the temperature for every unit of energy you put in.

Your best, most efficient top of the line gas furnace has a COP of 0.98. This means that, for every 1 joule of energy, you're getting 0.98 joules of heat energy. Let's say that, for easy math's sake, you pay $1 per joule for natural gas, so your operational cost for the furnace is $1.02 per joule. Yes, numbers are crazy town, but simple math for simple explanation.

A modern bog-standard heat pump has a COP of 4. The operational COP of the heat pump varies depending on the difference in temperature from inside to outside, but the vast majority of the state of California is going to operate at temperatures that can support the COP. Per your statement, electricity is 6x the cost of gas, so we'll say that every joule of energy going into the heat pump costs $6. This puts your operational cost at $1.50 per joule.

It's certainly not a "better deal", but the cost delta can't simply be measured by the cost of the energy going into the heating system.
It depends on what you want to do with the heat pump. That solar water heater will not help you much when you want to cool your house in summer.

BTW, I am not sure why exverbody is exited about "heat pumps", which are just air conditionings that have been in use in Asia for decades and probably been installed a billion times
