California’s highly regulated energy industry doesn’t seem like much better alternative?
Seems like you are missing important parts such as:

> Calming physical reactions to stress. Use regular, slow breathing from your diaphragm and progressive muscle relaxation. This reduces your heart rate and anxiety.

Only from the above you can search more stuff such as [1].

Also, if you are not fighting a war and your workplace is so toxic that you have to take military grade advice on stress reduction then you should look for a new job.
> I've heard Texas has cheap energy and an independent grid. Or is it just general policy manoeuvring?

No, it's correct. It just lead to a LOT of problems[0].

To me something that is needed by everyone really should be fully regulated.

> To trace the importation of seafood from factories that appear to be using North Korean labor, my team reviewed trade data, shipping contracts, and the codes that are stamped on seafood packages to monitor food safety. We found that, since 2017, ten of these plants have together shipped more than a hundred and twenty thousand tons of seafood to more than seventy American importers, which supplied grocery stores including Walmart, Giant, ShopRite, and the online grocer Weee!

How can something like this be allowed into The United States. Are trade sanctions actually bureaucratic yellow tape to get around with middleman shell companies? I am completely disgusted that I may have unknowingly purchased food prepared by a facility as inhumane as this.
Government officials carefully select workers to send to China, screening them for their political loyalties to reduce the risk of defections. To qualify, a person must generally have a job at a North Korean company and a positive evaluation from a local Party official. “These checks start at the neighborhood,” Breuker said. Candidates who have family in China, or a relative who has already defected, can be disqualified. For some positions, applicants under twenty-seven years of age who are unmarried must have living parents, who can be punished if they try to defect, according to a report from the South Korean government; applicants over twenty-seven must be married. North Korean authorities even select for height: the country’s population is chronically malnourished, and the state prefers candidates who are taller than five feet one, to avoid the official embarrassment of being represented abroad by short people. Once selected, applicants go through pre-departure training, which can last a year and often includes government-run classes covering everything from Chinese customs and etiquette to “enemy operations” and the activities of other countries’ intelligence agencies. (The North Korean government did not respond to requests for comment.)

To follow up on this, a lot of people think that if there is a GPL violation, then the composite work automatically becomes covered by the GPL. This is not true. The composite work is a copyright violation, but the GPL terms don’t apply to the proprietary code.

“Hacking” the proprietary code is no different than if there had been no GPL violation, under the law.

I went down the GTD/Zettelkasten rathole some years ago, and discovered Obsidian during that time. I subsequently determined that GTD and Zettelkasten are solutions to problems I don’t have…but I’m still using Obsidian, and for all sorts of things. It isn’t a magic bullet, but it’s become essential to many, many things I do: Study notes I’ll want to return to. Development notes for a current application. Background notes for a work of fiction I’ve been writing. Etc., etc., etc.

The key to it is that (A) the files are mine; (B) I can easily link them together in ways that make sense to me; and (C) they are readable. Obsidian ties it all together and makes working with my notes a breeze; and when Obsidian fades away my files are still there.

Been a programmer since the 80’s. I’ve seen a lot of applications come and go, leaving unreadable files behind. Not going to do that any more.

On the contrary, Hitler's ideology of racist nationalism and antisemitism wasn't just some "pretext for authoritarianism"–he had convinced himself it was the truth.

I find the term "Polymath" useless when it comes to the times we live in. Today's high school students would have ranked as a polymaths a few centuries ago. And today, someone who spends their entire time in one field - say software engineering - can be rightly called a polymath.

Gone are the days when one person can gain insights by digging deep into one specific subject. Knowledge of multiple areas is a given. Even more importantly, the days of a lone wolf discovering something new are even more dead. Today's discoveries can only happen collaboratively. Groups of people working hard, with each group egging on the other to push themselves farther (Think AI. We can no longer worship one guy as having advanced the field. There are no Newtons or Einsteins). Instead of patting our backs for being polymaths, lets figure out how best to propel our collaborative capabilities.

I quit instantly one day after being a confirmed addict for years.

I was just fine with the exhausted feeling, it only lased a few weeks and then I had more energy than I ever would have realized.

After detoxification had run its course, it felt relly good and it was amazing to realize what I has been missing.

Certainly could get more things accomplished without crashing, not less.
I think this is a more accurate summary of what the article was saying, in the order they were presented.[1]

1) Incumbents don't want to compete with other profit seeking companies.

2) Incumbents make more money generating and delivering power, than buying and delivering power.

3) Margin is low on large transmission infrastructure projects.

Overall, I agree with your point though. It is better to remove the veto power of incumbents than try to force them to do what you want.

However, the fundamental problem isnt about interconnects, it is about captured markets. If you allow interconnects to be built, you still have to force power companies to buy the power. Customers cant pick power companies, and companies would rather generate their own power for 2X than buy it for 1X because they are usually regulated with a cost plus profit margin.

The higher their costs, the higher the profit. In fact, the ONLY way to increase profits is to drive up costs.
Indeed, what is the value of your labor?
People have been warning for decades that a multi-trillion dollar bill will come due for aggressive suburban expansion into SFH neighborhoods and car based policies.

> [Duff] realized that he could use `case` statements (almost) anywhere in a `switch` block.

That’s likely true, in that it probably was a moment for realization for Duff (and many others reading him, including me); yet it’s almost certainly a completely intentional feature.

(As mentioned at the bottom of TFA, Duff also realized you could build coroutines on top of it but thought the idea “revolting”.)

There’s a temptation to think of C’s `switch` as a very inexpressive pattern match, and then the “fallthrough” seems like a bug and so on. It’s not. It’s a computed GOTO, in the vein of the one in Fortran but more convenient in that the values don’t have to be sequential, and also in that you don’t have to list all the labels at the top. (In fact, now that I’m writing this out, it’s more of a computed COMEFROM, then, isn’t it? However insane that sounds.)
That would generally be the goal of pieces like this.
I appreciate having a print screen key. I don't take screenshots exceedingly often, but when I do, it's easy to take them.

Outside of unusually severe weather in 2022 and a subsequent outage, what is your evidence for this claim?

I've been living in Texas since 2022 and the grid has anecdotally been just as reliable as anywhere else I've lived. Unusually crazy winter weather knocks out grids all over - back in '98 the ice storm in the Northeast US & Canada knocked out power for millions of people for up to 2 weeks in some cases.

> EVERYONE has benefitted from the change unions brought about

The unions brought us the congés payés in France in 1936. Think about the guilt. While the Germans where manufacturing bombs day and night in Germany, we were on the frigging beach.

Thank you, unions, we got invaded because of your irresponsibility. Also half of France had congés payés in 1935. Unions only brought the to sectors who couldn’t afford it.
You can have a similar impact in your brain and body that fighting a war. Not only in a job.

Living on 30kUSD/yr is a lot different in London than it is in Buenos Aires. To set a universal safety net ensuring everyone had adequate food, shelter, education, medical care, transportation etc would be a lot cheaper than 60tUSD/yr.
The odds are 100%. When I joined Facebook, one of the potential openings after boot camp (Facebook hires "At Large" and does team assignments after training), one of the openings was with their safety and security team. A very senior manager within the production engineering organization dissuaded me from taking that job. I got really bad vibes off of him. A few years later, I wandered through Folsom Street fair, and ran into an acquaintance there. I did not recognize the senior manager at first, partially because he was falling over drunk. Quite frankly, I don't remember his name. What I do remember is that his drunken ramblings were almost a satire of what you expect a soulless remorseless pedophile to say.

To be clear, I do not believe the people working in that division were in on it. I think that they were very few people working in that team, and that their efforts were constantly sabotaged. It was very clearly willful ignorance of many of the people around him.

To put it kind of bluntly, it is because of a couple of years of looking actually at what the sex positive community turns a blind eye to that I am no longer in any way "sex positive".
Why Texas vs California? Both are examples of corporate capture of regulators with unreliable and dangerous grids as a result. California has fires due to it, Texas gets outages, they both suck. It’s not fucking red v blue in here.

Regardless of the facts, actually it does fall out from certain first principles: https://www.slatestarcodexabridged.com/Meditations-On-Moloch

If someone else worked harder, they'd out-compete you, maybe conquer you. So we set a threshold and say, you can work 40-80-ish hours without going totally insane and dying. But there's no point working less than that, because someone else is ready to push the envelope. Even if the whole US agreed to just take it easy, I fear the other two superpowers (China and..... well Russia seems weak, maybe India?) would outdo us in GDP and it wouldn't be a great position politically to be in, since the US is my favorite superpower by a country mile.

It's unfortunate math.
They’ve had major issues with weather preparedness even in the aftermath of those major events, where the grid nearly went black. Even the northeast outages I’ve recalled from my life haven’t gotten to the point that they were talking about the grid going black if things didn’t go well, but either way, these extreme weather events will only increase in the future.

My comment was specifically about people stuck in a toxic work environment in a civilian establishment and I made no claims about other situations.
They are taking issue with the actions necessary to eliminate Hamas. There's no way to eliminate Hamas by hugging it out and singing Kumbaya in a drum circle. It requires war. And not a war somewhere where there's no civilians and all targets nicely marked up, but a war in real Gaza. And even now, when Israel suffered unspeakable atrocities, there are constant calls for Israel to stop and let Hamas recover and regain their strength, and ultimately just stop and go back to what was before - Hamas is attacking, Israel is suffering, UNRWA is feeding Gaza and Hamas both.

Imagine what would happen if Netanyahu started an action like this on October 6. The whole world would be sure that he's the next Hitler hellbent on committing genocide. He'd probably be declared international war criminal and Israel would be under sanctions in mere days. And everybody knew that. So Netanyahu instead did what the world demanded him to do - worked with Hamas. His mistake was (not only his personally of course, it was a widely shared delusion) that he believed it's really working and Hamas is slowly moving towards accepting Israel and becoming the real government of Gaza, and not just a terrorist group relying on UNRWA to perform essential government functions while they rob, murder and shoot rockets. But even if he weren't deluded, he's likely still have to cooperate with Hamas to some measure, because there weren't many realistic options otherwise. And that means, yes, that there would still be pictures of the boxes of money sent to Hamas, available for anybody to build their conspiracy theories on.

(For ease of reference—Fortran calls this an assigned GOTO: jump to label stored in a variable—as an integer number, as is Fortran’s way, not an address. A computed GOTO in Fortran is more like a switch statement in C: jump to the first label listed in the statement if the specified variable is one, to the second if it is two, ..., fall through to the next statement otherwise.)
What do you mean "going black"? That's not a technical term any grid operator uses.

They have various conservation strategies to manage peak demand if it exceeds capacity, like asking for voluntary conservation and/or rolling blackouts in extreme cases, but every grid operator does contingency planning like this. The Texas grid handled historic demand levels over the summer just fine.
I think the goal of this piece is closer to reducing the importation of seafood that is the result of forced labor.
>Leadership is essentially setting a vision: it's setting a direction people want to follow.

This is all completely incoherent to me. What are "the right things"? What is "setting a vision"? It really sounds like you just listened to some motivational speakers. It's just silliness.

Parent is exactly right. You can't do any of these things well and sustainably without doing both, and taking responsibility for both. Trying to do one or the other is just a scam.

The latter sort can be written in any language.

I really don't know how to reply to this.

Five years ago, there was nothing in existence that could respond well to a prompt like "Write a short story about my six-year-old daughter Emily traveling undersea to rescue her favorite sea horse, who's been kidnapped by the Shrimp King. Make her have several adventures along the way, engaging in side quests and making friends who ultimately help her succeed in her quest"

Today ChatGPT responds to the above with no difficulty, and part of the reason is that it has been trained not just to output reasonable responses, but aesthetically pleasing ones.

There is every reason to believe that video output will be more responsive five years from now than text is right now. Sure, it's possible it will be a little stilted, or a little generic, but it's possible it won't be.

Obviously we're both speculating, but I find it hard to believe that one minute today won't turn into hour-length in five years.
>> It'd be much more sensible to deregulate and let the people who profit build the interconnects.

Firstly, it's worth saying that in markets with high barrier-to-entry costs, it's not easy for the "market" to protect against profiteering.

Or put another way, if the local utility decides to charge more, its not like you can just build a power station, and connect to the grid, to undercut and take a profit.

Equally, given the cost of starting up, concessions are made to protect monopolies (or semi monopolies) to avoid unnecessary duplication of infrastructure.

Regulations though can be good, or bad, depending on your point of view. They either work for the business (keeping out competition) or for the consumer (preventing price gouging.)

And it's not just today's profits that matter but tomorrow's as well. If I'm allowed to charge more during periods of high demand, that encourages me to increase scarcity. I'm incentived to provide less power, and get more profit.

So deregulation likely ends badly for the consumer. It likely leads to scarcity since that improves profits. On the other hand deregulation has allowed me to have residential solar, dropping my energy bill by 80%. And high prices make that financially attractive. So some deregulation good?

My point is that the balance between regulator, provider and consumer is a very fine one, and messing with that balance can have consequences.
