Send me a MacOS first, we don't use mac here.

If you can't find in foul play in code you can't prove.
They tend to get destroyed when cleaning the items. It happens a lot with clothing that has hydrophobic coatings so I'd imagine a dishwasher would ruin it almost immediately, leading to complaints and returns.
To me, he means that if you take your formally verified program, the axioms do not hold in an environment without memory safety. He isn't saying your formally verified program is good in Rust but not in C, he's saying if you put it in the same memory space as an unsafe program, all bets are off. You can formally verify, for example, the BPF engine in Linux, and some other code in the kernel can void that guarantee.
Im skeptical about this solar shield thing but how big of a problem is CO2 on its own? (without climatic effects)
And yet you have all the crypto tokens being used as securities instead of the currency they were supposed to be, and that's because of this exact reason!
Hold on the real nugget here is that apparently document.all is a falsy object. Why in the world would that be the case?!?
Former banker here. There's extremely little overlap between traditional banking and what cryptocurrency does. There's more overlap with what a credit card company does.

Most of traditional banking is about financing, not about money transfer. The risk estimation and risk control are the tough parts of financing, and I don't see how on-chain computation is a good fit for that risk modeling.

So, "What's the energy cost of the combined Visa and Mastercard networks" is a much better benchmark than "What's the combined energy cost of the traditional banking system?"

One big energy use I optimized was daily risk calculation for exotic books. Say an Australian insurance company sold a bunch of life insurance in Japan. They want to cap their losses on $5 billion USD notional (maybe 2,500 policies, each for $2 million) over the next 30 years, and they want to cap their losses at $1.5 billion AUD. This extremely bespoke, not something the bank can offload to another entity, so the bank is pretty much stuck with this re-insurance on its books for the next 30 years. How much does the bank need to keep on-hand in case this goes sour? To answer that question, every day the bank needs to run Monte Carlo simulations to cover shifts in the Japanese life expectancy curve and shifts in the JPY/AUD exchange rate over the next 30 years.

It turns out that for some of these exotic options contracts, just compute cost for calculating risk exposure over the lifetime of the trade can end up being a noticeable percentage of the profit from the trade.

Sure, you could pull some of that simulation compute on-chain in smart contracts, but what does a DAO do when it has insufficient reserves to cover its outstanding obligations? I guess you need a diverse enough DAO so its risk exposures are sufficiently uncorrelated, but that means that it needs to do vastly more computation to calculate its current exposure every time someone asks the DAO to enter into an obligation. Either all miners need to redundantly run these calculations, or you push them off-chain.

If you push the risk calculations off-chain, then you're back to the energy consumption being very different than the traditional banking system.
> headcount is another number to advertise in the game of stock evaluation

This is something I've had difficulty squaring over the course of my career.

If a company remains small but makes boatloads of money because it builds a superior product, shouldn't that be rewarded more than having a higher headcount?

From the perspective of having run engineering orgs (and a few failed - but enlightening - forays into founding a company), I've learned to believe from my experience that having the smallest team reasonable to achieve great things brings the most positive effects: folks are closer to the outcome, feel a stronger sense of ownership, want the best for the business, and reap the rewards of accomplishment, which in turn motivates the team to achieve and innovate more, resulting in growing revenue for the company.

If I were an investor, I'd want smaller teams producing outsized results. Why would I want a gigantic team producing mediocre results?
Which languages do this much better? Honest question.
Congrats sir!

Switch to eating fruit (and other raw foods) at least 70% of your total intake.

Your energy levels will go up and your sleep needs will go down.

You'll need that in the beginning to be a solid support for your partner and the baby.

This will allow you to be extra patient and empathetic with everyone, which is what you'll need.

You'll also enjoy this process (if it's even possible) at least 50% more than on crappy energy levels.

Alright, maybe I’m out of touch, but I don’t think electricity is expensive in California.

Even during 115 degree heatwaves in a 70-year-old, 3-bedroom, single-family home. Most I paid was $100 in a month with 2 people with gaming computers working from home.

Not everyone has that kind of money, but my point is that most people have cell service and other services which add up to more than electricity costs.

That’s fine, I make no judgement of what people spend. I’m just setting a comparison. For how much value electricity provides us and how much we use it, I wouldn’t call it expensive, even in California.

YMMV by city, but it wasn’t an issue in Sacramento. The real monster is climate change, and so here we have a chicken-and-egg problem combined with wealth disparity.

I think we need comprehensive social program packages to address this.
Try flat eye at managing a factory, and come back to tell me how it went.

A game as a reference, seriously? No idea which film I recently heard the term, but amateur hour doesn't even come close to decribe that...
For bespoke internal services, I like to keep main.go as flat as reasonable, like a "script". Handlers can have their own files but the bulk of the control flow and moving parts should be apparent from reading the main file.

Abstracting things away from main makes it less readable and is general pointless for bespoke services that will be deployed in exactly one configuration.
Except that this makes the entire concept bunk, because what the company cares about is the ability to claim carbon neutrality in their PR, which they'll do by choosing the credits that are the cheapest, which will be the ones that are a fraud.

The actual way to fix this is to price carbon. You don't get money for not burning down a forest, you pay money if you burn down a forest, or burn coal. Then you refund all of that money to the public so it isn't a net tax, it's just an incentive to not emit carbon, because only the people who emit carbon pay the tax but everybody gets the refund.
AirBnb takes homes out of the housing market for people who want to buy a home to live in it, not turn it into a motel.
Books on "new things" mostly have died off because the time-to-market is too long, and by the time it's released, the thing is different.
i really like the patterns in this post, pretty much what i've also settled on after much experimentation with different styles.
I... think I made it very very clear I'm not a fan of her as CEO, nor am I a fan of Mozilla's decisions the past 11 years.

But that doesn't change the fact that early on she was instrumental in getting Mozilla off the ground and it wouldn't exist without her.

Both can be true at the same time, and I simply shared my experience of her.
Ever wonder why it’s called a “heat pump” rather than a heater? It’s because they work in both directions, and that means that you can have the system which keeps you cool in the summer also keep you warm in the winter rather than having a separate system. This is especially nice because if you don’t use a heater much, you don’t know that it’ll work when you need it: where I lived in San Diego, the condo complex had radiant heat in the floor in every unit but once in a decade a cold snap meant people really needed it … and some of my neighbors learned theirs no longer worked.

The efficiency wins from a better quality system are nice, too. I live on the east coast now and went all electric a few years back. Our energy costs in the winter went up modestly - not much because heat pumps are great on all of the not incredibly cold winter days we get in the mid-Atlantic - but the savings in the summer versus the cheap AC the previous owner had purchased were substantial. The savings up front for a less efficient unit get eaten up pretty quickly if you use it regularly.
Well, not on this one case.

Spreading CO2 capturing material is a very viable way to help. And we must research capture anyway, because we surely will need it.

This kind of action is the carbon credit system working like it was supposed to work, and a really good example to use to turn it into a tax that gets negative to whoever is capturing.

But I do agree, one has to always be careful not to fall for polluter's propaganda.
It's a good thing science isn't politicized. If it was this retraction would be suspect too.
I don’t know what you mean by this at all. I don’t think there’s any connection between what someone wants and what someone can afford.

And the point is a 4 bedroom condo or apartment in an expensive urban city is going to be significantly more expensive than a house in some cheaper suburb. Lots of people do choose to move out of cities into suburbs for this reason. That isn’t a new thing.
Mobile phones are extremely small, feature-packed, and quickly-advancing compared to any of these things. Plenty of Android phonemakers have teased repairable phones, but the drawbacks don't make them worthwhile. I think the market has spoken.

Apple deserves criticism for desktop PC repairability, though. At least in the past. There were several iterations of Mac mini or other desktops that they intentionally made harder to repairable with no gain. I don't even mean the T2 chips that at least have a semi-plausible excuse, I mean like soldering in the RAM or gluing together the body. Again the market has spoken; I think even the creative pro market went to Windows long ago.
Its a generalization based on facts about median size. For single family homes in the 1960's it was 1500sqft and in the 2000's its around 2100-2200sqft https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/programs-surveys/a...
The FBI contacted me over a shitpost on Reddit using this exact process. Hilarious, but also very concerning.
In Seattle as well. I kept my oil furnace and added mini splits to each room.

What helped the most for my old house was attic insulation. I spent around $700 to buy blown-in packs (and got free machine rental) and got my attic to around R-40. I'm able to set my thermostat 5 degrees higher without any change to my energy bill.
The plastic covers are slightly raised from the wall, and if you're willing to look silly you can peek behind them. They're three colors.
yes, that's a big problem. but also where is the airbnb founder, that was literally founded in SV area, talking about technology focused cities?

hypocritical mindset
Let's be real, Kubernetes is a Java project with code that just happens to share some resemblance to Go syntax. It's also one of the oldest projects using Go, long predating the "make zero values useful" proverb, so it is not surprising that it doesn't follow the idioms recognized today. Idioms cannot be conceived in advance. They emerge from actual use after finding out what works and what doesn't.

What new code being written today is violating that pattern?
> all the money you have on deposit is invested back into the economy by the bank, less the reserve requirement.

Please read how the money system works before talking on the topic, you really are embarrassing yourself here Mr Bright.

Banks aren't lending their customers' deposits (because you can't lend your liabilities…) and reserve requirements are in federal funds, which is a specific type of currency, it's not the same dollar as the one their customers have in deposits (which again, are on the liabilities side of banks balance sheet).
Phalanx's Twilight, Legion's Triumph, Part IIa: How a Legion Fights
Yeah, I am wondering the same. Is this referring to some kind of versioning conflict (like the old Windows DLL Hell)? Does that regularly happen in any Linux distribution repository? Or is this a matter of people going cowboy and mixing in other random repositories on top of the distro? I see the whole role of the distribution maintainers being to provide a self-consistent repository that doesn't have this kind of problem.

And as a long-time Fedora user, I don't think I've seen such conflicts with the moral equivalent yum/dnf command. But, I am somewhat rigid about not adding third party repos or RPMs to my systems. The only two exceptions I've come to accept are repos from rpmfusion.org and postgresql.org.

While I have certainly seen some bugs in Fedora over the decades, I don't see how some "atomic" solution helps here unless it means reorganizing the community QA resources to test some "minor releases" which batch together a set of package updates, versus trying to support continuous integration where each package can update individually. That would actually worry me though, as my own career experiences cause me to prefer continuous-integration approaches like the traditional Fedora distribution.
It seems they oversampled your average Stackoverflow answer:

Ackchyually, you don't want to do that
Well here we are... Arguing. Ergo it's arguable.
Me too. What a wordsmith, I am in awe! not being sarcastic, I really do appreciate it
It does not likely do those things consistently on a national level.

Information technology was great for a handful of states - well, cities, really; I can't help but notice the lack of a MacOS Bakersfield - but not across the geography of the United States. The capital concentrated in those areas to an absurd extent. During the low interest rate days, VCs in these areas were far more likely to invest in an absolutely terrible idea within a fifty-mile radius of their offices than they were to invest in a good idea 800 miles away. They also drastically overvalue businesses that can throw on a thin whitewash of "tech company" on an otherwise-conventional business model, even if the execution of that business model does poorly in actually producing value for the non-shareholder parts of the market economy.

I have children. And I didn't say I wait until later to listen to the message.

I can't think of any non-action-movie scenarios where me picking up the phone within a specific 120 second window would be a life-or-death situation. If there are any, they are so unlikely that they are not even remotely worth being annoyed by multiple scam calls a day.
The PG&E rate increases have a lot more to do with wildfires than it does with supply and demand. Look at SMUD rates, super affordable. I will agree though that it has been super frustrating for these rate increases to be hitting right around when electrification is picking up steam.

With that said, unless you are comparing the most efficient ICE against the least efficient EV's you should still see savings with an EV. If I charged our EV at the peak electricity rate (which I rarely do) it still costs about half as much as a fairly average ICE vehicle on a per mile basis. Compared against some of the most efficient ICE vehicles (hybrids like the Prius) I would still come out ahead, maybe by only 20% though. But again, that is comparing the worst case scenario where I only charge at peak rates. In practice we probably average around half of the peak rate from a mix of at home, at work and around town charging.

I will admit though that it is not a particularly good look for CA regulators to be pushing electrification so hard while also allowing huge rate increases. It ends up looking like a huge handout to the investor owned utilities. And the proposed rate changes that implement an income based fix charge are absolutely idiotic. With batteries coming down in price we could soon see the economics of going off grid become much more attractive, which would further exacerbate the situation (CA IOUs will need battery adopters to stay connected to the grid to help with intermittency)
Is there any resource that explains the different varieties of the limited continuations in a way that doesn't require an advanced theoretical CS degree? I see that Racket has both prompt/control and shift/reset but I've never been able to make sense of how they differ, if at all
I always thought the use of the term "podcast" for podcasts was just another selfish meme.

I listen to podcasts all the time but: (1) never on an iPod or other portable listening device, (2) never find them on RSS feeds. I guess I could (YOShInOn looks at 3000 articles a day on my behalf, some of them are podcasts, I don't really have the right UI for queuing podcasts so I think about putting in a rule or some models for filtering them out) but I don't. In fact I was consuming and mastering "podcasts" before the iPod even existed and before there was RSS. It might well be that the median user has never "used as directed"

It's one of those cases where Apple makes up a word and it is like the way the priest transforms the bread and wine at Catholic Mass.
> I ended up with an iPhone, which has screen time.

You can also disable Safari through content restrictions, which is protected by the PIN, too.

By the way, I set up the restrictions and then blindly type the PIN, so I can't remember myself. May need some tries to get in a PIN twice :D Alternatively, you could try to hold the phone sideways and use a mirror, do something else immediately afterwards.

Nobody needs to know the PIN. You fall back to your Apple ID anyway. With your ID you can set up a proper, long, long password you can hide on paper, in the attic or something. If you wanna go hardcore, you could also split the password in three long parts without noting the order. Then you'd may have to try all 6 combinations which is rather annoying. And you can have the Appstore require a password for installations too.

Usually it's enough to delay the immediate impulse long enough for your better self to gain control again :)

I would really recommend not to restrict (just) screen time. Complicated schedules will only encourage you to have legitimate reason lifting restrictions, and even low supply won't get the phone out of your mind. Phone: No fun - 24/7.

You don't need a schedule to not look at the dial pad :D
We already know and further lies don't illuminate that.
Anything that is front-facing a UI or API typically has a response cache.

More so for something like a web app like AppleTV where the content is largely static.

There should be zero difference in performance between microservices and monolith in this scenario.
It's punishing the innocent on behalf of the guilty. For some reason people really like to do that, in lots and lots of contexts.
Great article with lots of interesting ideas. Can't believe I didn't know about signal.NotifyContext. Finally I'll be able to actually rememeber how to respond to signals instead of copy-pasting that between projects.
Imagine sprinting to build a state of the art LLM only to have the AI safety team severely cripple the model's usefulness before launch. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some resentment among these teams within Google DeepMind.
do you believe Jobs invented the PC?
or Monster?
And if you tell anything of the above on a public forum, you'd be immediately canceled and branded a "racist". It's amazing how the current progressive elite is undermining themselves.
Thank you. You're more helpful than the last service tech we talked to. :)
Geometry means you have to be that wide. Just a double bed with space to move around it takes up that much space. Likewise you don't want the bathroom to be the hall (Sorry you can't get out of the apartment until I'm done on the toilet).

Yes dark is not a good argument against this, but it still isn't practical to have apartments that small - it has been done, but all the cases I know of it was out of spite. (someone ended up with a small lot and didn't want to sell)
I have an aging gas furnace that’s about due for replacement and a heat pump may be in the cards.

Something I’ll need to research is how a heat pump would compare to electric heated flooring, though because the way my house’s HVAC system is set up the upper floor is heated before the lower floor, which exacerbates the natural temperature difference that results from heat rising and means the lower floor can be chilly while the upper floor is warm. My AC is fairly new still too which makes me think that installing heated floor in the base floor, letting heat rise to heat the upper floor with the old furnace remaining as a backup might be smarter.

Electricity costs aren’t too bad here ($0.10-$0.14/kWh) so switching from consuming gas to consuming electricity won’t impact bills too much.
My 5 and 7 year old watched the whole thing with me and had lots of follow up questions for me.
Does any language other than Common Lisp provide a "delimited goto"?
This is one of my big annoyances as well. Whatever happened to the idea of electricity that was too cheap to measure?
Eh I don't hate heat pumps, but they are not the answer
I always knew there was a reason I preferred the LH351D
Amazing, great to know! In what context does this come up in math?
Wow, everyone's imaginations sure ran wild with this.

Yes, I use common sense and DO pick up calls from unknown numbers when I am expecting them. Most days, I am not expecting them.
Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory isa interesting read about this.
Oh I'm not denying it, I'm celebrating it.
> The unique articles about startups are gone - replaced by a repackaging of press releases, the optimistic tone of supporting entrepreneurs has been replaced by the cynicism of writers that dislike the companies/technologies/founders they write about, etc.

You nailed it. That's exactly what it is!

Basically wokified PR Newswire and the few startup articles that do exist are boring and written by people who seem to really dislike the very subject of their articles.
> marginal decrease

The decrease has been far from marginal. You don't get an increasing amount of political extremism from marginal changes in economic fortunes. You get them from a ton of alienation, desperation, and despair.
