Folks have some trouble where I am, and I have 'days' during the winter. Sure, they are 4.5 hours long in December and the sunlight is poor, but I technically have days.

That said, I'd be willing to try it for a couple of years, if anything just for the experience. Dark winters are a lot and the weather can be pretty brutal with ocean storms and wind and stuff, but I think clear winter nights would be beautiful more regularly than Trondheim.
There's a middle ground which is what a normal person would write:

I'm interested in your property, it looks like just what I need. But I need to know if you allow dogs. Thanks!

People are busy. The kind of filler in the AI example shows that you don't value their time more than you value trying to sound sophisticated when making a simple inquiry. But people also don't have time to decipher possibly cryptic text-message-shorthand. Think about your audience, and write accordingly.

Gaza absolutely is a prison. Keeping Gazans there is the only way to ensure Israelis safety. Is that unfair? Absolutely, but I dont think Israelis are especially interested in fairness here, theyre interested in their security. You cant compare Gaza to post ww2 countries. Gaza has no economy, and a vastly different culture. There is no path toward peace between gaza and Israel. Not even on the 1000 year time span, because that would require gazan quality of life to improve, and they just dont have the land or resources for that to happen.

I don't believe this is true. GH200's GPU has 144GB of HBM3e according to their datasheet. https://resources.nvidia.com/en-us-grace-cpu/grace-hopper-su...

The 282 GB figure comes from a "dual configuration" server with two CPU chips and two GPU chips:

> the new platform will be available in a wide range of configurations. The dual configuration [...] comprises a single server with 144 Arm Neoverse cores, eight petaflops of AI performance and 282GB of the latest HBM3e memory technology.

Note that one Grace Hopper CPU has 72 cores so this configuration clearly has two CPUs and two GPUs in one server, and the 282 GB HBM3e total is split between the two GPUs with 144 GB each (again, not sure where the extra 6 GB went, maybe disabled for yield issues?).

> I cannot reasonably run lengths of 110v extension cords down the block to charge a car overnight, and acquiring my own house with a garage is dramatically more expensive

You don't need a garage, just some sort of reserved parking space... There are plenty of weatherproof electrical boxes. It costs a bit of money to have a trench from your home to your car parking area, but far less than buying a house.

And that "110v extension cord" can supply 240V with just a change of connectors on either end (e.g.: 6-30p) allowing charging twice as fast.
Yep. To look at this a different way: this feels like a fluke, and people should take this n=1 recount for what it is.

Oh, I'm doing the pair process through the Garmin Connect app. I put the watch into pairing mode, then go to the app. The app sees the watch, then Android prompts for the bluetooth pairing code. That succeeds, the app goes into some sort of state of talking to the watch -- the watch switches to showing a little logo for the app even -- but then the app cacks out saying the pairing was not successful.

Something is going wrong with some internal state transitions, or it loses connectivity while doing some sort of data sync or something.

Sketchy.
And yet, they do try to reject papers for various issues that at least approximate veracity. No journal will accept a paper proposing a perpetual motion machine. What is that but a veracity check? What is peer review? Glorified spellcheck? No, we expect publishers to at least catch the obvious stuff.

If you design a publisher around the idea that it truly has no responsibility for veracity, then you get... Arxiv. In that scenario traditional publishers truly provide no value.
I ran into this in a non profit I helped found a few years ago.

You very quickly find that your org will attract seemingly random types of people, not united by skill but by whatever the cause is. Many of them will have no applicable skills that can help your org.

If the org is relatively small, the best you can do is find out who the most skillful people are, what exactly they’re good at, snd advocate / influence / pressure the org to slot the right people into the right place.

It takes enormous patience and organizational skills, because you can’t order anyone around in a non profit successfully.

And in particular, get a good person as Treasurer and a leader for whatever version of Operations you have, and competent folks leading whatever major cost centers you may have.

We put a poor choice in charge of overseeing legal teams (our biggest cost by far), and they blew the entire budget on a frivolous lawsuit that was thrown out by the judge eventually.

Things are different to a degree in much larger non-profits, they are closer to regular corps, but they are still their own beast.

And often the org will be fatally flawed and it is best to just walk away.
Thank you! I've found modern PHP to be quite a joy to work with, given how much it gets dunked on in the greater tech community. It has some awesome tooling that's on par with other the languages/ecosystems I work in, and I'm always looking for a reason to write more it now.
> Which was a temporary state and certainly didn't last for 50 years.

Because the population in neither one enacted a serious of terror campaigns or "Intifadas" against them. If they did it's almost certain that the allies would still occupy Germany and the US Japan.

edit: Also, until the 2+4 treaty, formally known as the "Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany" was signed in 1990 the allies still held part of their occupational rights over Germany. Not 50 years, but 45 at least.

Yep, the dev(s) of libA should learn good practice. But they didn't and app1 and app2 still have the problem. Static linking solves it for them more reliably than trying to get the dev of libA to "git gud". Much of the desire to statically link binaries comes from this specific scenario playing out over and over and over.

Heck for a long time upgrading glibc by a minor version was almost guaranteed to break your app and that was often intentional.

A agree about this topic, but "technical"-politics (=tech related) should still belong here (eg. EU vs Apple, EU vs encryption, etc.). After all, who else than us nerds can understand the topic, and discuss it without the "only pedos need e2e encryption, if you are not a pedo, what are you hiding?".
But overwhelming victory and unconditional surrender were the foundations for that reconstruction. There is really no way that peace could have been achieved with WWII Germany and Japan through giving money or diplomacy (Neville Chamberlain says hi). Once there was overwhelming victory resulting in unconditional surrender, then the rebuilding process started.

EDIT:

In addition, there was no equivalent of the Marshall Plan between the Soviet Union and East Germany, yet there were not wars between them after WWII.
Your child isn't going to die from cervical cancer. Kids don't get it.

Your child may die or be seriously injured by HPV vaccines. There are about 80 open class action lawsuits in process over it.

We took most of the other vaccines, but my partner and I decided the HPV vaccine was too dangerous right now, while we have happy healthy kids, to worry about the small chance that an unproven cervical cancer vaccine will work thirty years from now.
That must be it. It always felt super peculiar that they did this, and I really didn’t see the value in it for Apple, even from a marketing perspective. I 100% buy that we’ve just gotten to peak behind the curtain.
Not really. Even with a plasma torch

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_gasification

you need to clean up the syngas to get rid of dioxins with a charcoal filter or something like that. The plasma torch is supposed to convert the organic materials in municipal waste (e.g. food waste, plastic, wood) to syngas and then vitrify the remainder as glass particles that trap toxic heavy metals (you could use it as a material for roads and buildings.) Allegedly you can burn the syngas to make enough electricity to run the torch and still sell some to the grid. I guess you'd want to try to capture mercury before it goes up the stack.

They built a few small (like 5 MW) plants to test the idea but attempts to scale up to 50 MW. For a long time the technology belonged to one of Westinghouse's ghosts (like the one that owns the AP1000) but they are still ordering AP1000s but nobody is ordering plasma torches for municipal waste.
I'm not tipping anything towards Henry Ford, who helped popularize antisemitism in the US.

> In California the price actually is hitting zero sometimes during the day

Sure, sure, but these are unusual times and not the common case. And if it was the common case that the price was zero during most daylight hours, it would be solar that goes bankrupt, since that's the only time it's generating. The other generation methods would still have the revenue from generating at night, which was the bulk of their revenue to begin with because of the expected price differential.

> Surplus electricity could hypothetically be put to use, but something would need to built to take advantage. (Perhaps batteries or some other load.)

Charging electric vehicles is an obvious one which will increase with their adoption. It's also likely that the grid will need some kind of storage because even if you have baseload plants to carry most of the nighttime load, the peak load of the day is just after sunset, and picking that up is going to require some kind of storage or peaker plants but the existing peaker plants are fossil fuels.

What baseload plants give you is to only need enough storage to make up the difference between what the baseload plants generate and that peak, and only for that couple of hours instead of the entire night.
Or, unpopular opinion, if you don't care about brand and/or cutting edge camera quality, just buy a cheap Xiaomi phone.

I have been using the Poco X3 for 3.5 years with absolutely zero issues. Even the battery still holds through an entire day of regular usage.

It cost me 1/4 of the price of an iPhone and I get the same if not bigger value for my use cases (bigger in terms of battery life which was laughable back when I still used an iPhone 6, don't know if things have gotten better now).

> Software depending on versions of libraries that are newer than the latest version available on the distro you have to use (cough RHEL 8).

That is a fair point, but it raises a question: if you absolutely need to use software that is not packaged by your distro of choice and that you cannot package yourself (are you sure you can't maintain a "community" package yourself with RHEL?), maybe you don't want that distro.

Different distros come with different goals. If you take a "super slow but secure" distro, it will be slow and secure. If you take a rolling distro, you get updates very quickly but it has drawbacks. It depends on the use-case, but going for a "slow and secure" distro and then building tooling to work around that choice ("nevermind, I'll ship new and less mature software anyway, statically linked") seems to defeat the purpose of the distro... right?
TPUs were originally intended to just be for internal use (to keep google from being dependent on Intel and nvidia). Making them an external product through cloud was a mistake (in my opinion). It was a huge drain on internal resources in many ways and few customers were truly using them in the optimal way. They also competed with google's own nvidia GPU offering in cloud.

The TPU hardware is great in a lot of ways and it allowed google to move quickly in ML research and product deployments, but I don't think it was ever a money-maker for cloud.
> I believe there's a small but growing market for "dumb" tech. Unfortunately there aren't really many options for cars that I'm aware of. I suspect a quality-but-stupid display company is incubating somewhere, just waiting to nail manufacturing.

I'm pessimistic. The product would be too niche.

The problem is twofold:

1. Experts who have the users best interests at heart have bee disempowerd by business-culture and technological change (opening up new avenues of customer exploitation that were previously impossible).

2. A lot of these issues are technical and hard to understand by the average consumer. Furthermore consumers have been trained over the last few decades to put up with a lot of crap. Even if a individual consumer doesn't like something, it will be a vague feeling or a gotcha that happens long after purchase. And what choice are they given by the market? Usually none (e.g. all the copycatting).

Just as an example of how terrible the market can be: I understand the quality of many household appliances has fallen through the floor over the last few decades: they break more quickly, more expensively, and are harder to repair. To enable that, many of the major players own so many brands that even a totally unsatisfied consumer is likely to be a repeat customer, even of the exact same model they hate (e.g. have a terrible experience with a Whirlpool washer, then swear off the brand and end up buying a Maytag, which is literally a restyling of the same exact model).

There are at least 5 parties in the ruling coalition that have specific religious orthodoxy as primary parts of their platform.

I agree that the traditional definition of theocracy is probably overkill when describing the Israeli government but specific religious beliefs drive politics there well out of proportion to the beliefs of the constituents.

In a way that feels out of line with secular western democracy at times.
Just so you know, this is not specific to the organization you're working with. I've been doing volunteering for the UN, and it was just the same. We were working on a website, and I was the only with any experience with that. The graphical designer was a student, and the "product designer" was a retired bank manager who wanted to try that web thing. That's just the way it is, skilled people are not attracted by volunteering (unless it's FOSS, for some reason).

There's something in it for you, though : not only it will make you feel like you did something significant with your life, but if you manage to get things working despite the shortcoming of this team, you can make it work with any team. That's a skill (especially if you ever want to hire).
That reminds me of something I've been thinking about: Does anyone make a modern Nokia N900? I miss having a small, open Linux machine with a good keyboard in my pocket. I don't want something running Android, I want a common(-ish) Linux distro.
Yeah a lot of cool digital instruments are expensive; I suspect it's because they're not mass produced like for example "my first keyboard" type toys.
Decentralised caching, absolutely - unless I’m misunderstanding what you mean there. You can build across many machines, merge stores, host caches online with cachix (or your own approach), etc. I make fairly heavy use of that, otherwise my CI builds would be brutal.

Good for OP that he gamed the system, I have no ill-will for him. But the smart thing to do would be to keep quiet and enjoy the legal status, not write a blogpost showing how flimsily it was obtained.

> the party that occupied it doesn't want it

That's not that obvious considering all the illegal settlements. I'm sure they want the land just not the people living there.

But yes, no clear solution especially considering that the only (non-Hamas) option for self government, the Palestinian Authority/Fatah is thoroughly incompetent and corrupt.
Their website also came out at a time when it was common for competitors like ICC to charge people to play chess online, chesscom being his huge well featured free website helped push forward the popularity of online chess, and their for-profit model is what allows many of the aforementioned streamers to make a living.

I'll be the first to admit I have a tendency to C#/Java-ify code in languages that I attempt to learn (could definitely argue it's a bad habit) due to nearly a decade of working with them. Any advice you might have to make things a bit more idiomatic to modern PHP? Always looking to improve the code however I can.
I read the article and didn’t see any mention of concentrations. I suspect (though IANAChemist) that finding trace amounts of many hazardous chemicals might be de minimus. Which at the very least renders this article incomplete.

(That is not to say the article is wrong, or that recycling is perfect, just that certain facts in isolation don’t really allow you to draw any conclusions.)
I don’t know for how many people this is true, but if a streaming service requires a browser for playback, it’s not a consideration for me. I won’t even watch Netflix on my laptop via a browser.
I got my first taste of teams about a month ago. I had to install it on my personal laptop for a job interview. After installation, my laptop started displaying notifications encouraging me to renew my monthly subscriptions to Microsoft Office and Xbox Game Pass, things I haven't had a subscription for in over a year. It automatically set itself to start up with the computer which isn't unexpected. However I disabled the startup and it still launches when Windows restarts. Only solution was to remove it. I don't know why people waste their time using teams, it's such a trash app written by a trash company.
My point is to make it clear that it was obviously a rhetorical speech rather than some ongoing military policy during the war. You know perfectly well what I meant by restraint.
I haven’t really had problems with it not working. Not more than other chat programs.

My main gripe is the “teams” chats having aggressively terrible UI in ways that make my work-life worse. Most of my complaints would go away if they let me make a teams chat that was a normal chat room.
It would be significantly more concentrated in this river water. As far as environmentally friendly, maybe, but not necessarily.
If Linux dependency management works well in theory but not in practice then it doesn't work. It works in nix because it can literally use multiple minor versions of a library when it needs to with no problem. Most distro's can't or won't do that.

You can call it malpractice but it's not going to stop so in practice you need a way to deal with it.

It appears this site (Github pages) is trying to require Javascript in order to read it.

At the same time the top comment is suggesting EPUB should not require Javascript.

I never use the HTML markup, CSS, etc. when I read an "ebook". I dump it to text and read it with less(1). I do not need to see images. I just want to search and read text. I use stupid simple shell scripts; something like the following.

#!/bin/sh
printf "(\n"
for x in ${1-*.epub};do
echo printf \'\\n\\n,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, "$x" ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,\\n\\n\'
7z l $x|sed -n "s/.* /7z x -so $x /;/nav.xhtml/d;/[tx]ml$/p"|sort -n
done
echo ")|tr -cd '[\\\12\40-\176]'"

Example usage:

epub.sh 1.epub |sh > 1.htm
links -dump 1.htm > 1.txt
less 1.txt

If I need to to adjust the order of the sections, I do something like

epub.sh 1.epub > 1.sh
vi 1.sh
1.sh > 1.htm
links -dump 1.htm > 1.txt

If I want to save the "ebook", I can compress the .txt smaller than any of the "ebook" formats.

zstd -19 1.txt
zstdless 1.txt.zst

Plain text is portable for me; works on both BSD and Linux.
