Google laptops and workstations (anything that can actually access srcfs to get this data) are extremely monitored and controlled.

Very critical stuff (ranking, spam/abuse, etc) can be further protected via silos which lock down sections of the code base (but still allow limited interactions with the build).

Google spent significant engineering $$$ into its development tools and policies (generally building custom with no intent to ever monetize vs buying). I don't see a company today, in this climate, that would emulate that decision.

From 2 years ago. Large region of Australia running fully on solar/wind/storage for 10+ days. Seems like the focus has to be on storage and continued improvement of grid-scale and rooftop solar and wind.

South Australia has just chalked up what is undoubtedly a world first – a run of
more than 10 consecutive days over which the average production of wind and solar
accounted for 100 per cent of local demand.

No other gigawatt scale grid in the world has come close to this amount of “variable
renewable energy”, or for such a long time.

RenewEconomy reported on Monday that South Australia had just enjoyed a seven day
run of wind and solar that produced more than 104 per cent of average demand. Closer
inspection proved it was even more impressive than that.

According to Geoff Eldridge at data providers GPE NemLog2, the supply of wind and
solar averaged 100 per cent of local demand for 10 days and 9 hours (a total of 249
hours) from 08:20 on Friday, December 9, to 1720, Monday, December 19. [1]

Just want to add that these are all good points and good discussion. Ultimately, I think we agree that DeOps is needed no matter how it’s used. The details of how exactly it’s used per product, per team, per organization is always ‘it depends’. Some of us need to jump through more hoops and there is no way any of our products would be updated in production multiple times per day much less multiple times per month unless it was a hot fix of a critical bug. CI/CD is something to strive for as if you can release to develop multiple times per day it’s only the surrounding process that prevents you from releasing to production multiple times per day.
If you have a reusable component in a separate repository and need a change, you have to submit that, merge, release, then bump the version in the downstream project to use it. Then if someone else uses the project updates but hits an issue that you introduced they have to go fix it, perhaps a month later, with no context of what changed. Or they just don’t upgrade the version, and reimplement what they need. With a monorepo it would be one change, and your change breaking someone else’s would get flagged and fixed with the code change. I’ve seen the amount of shared code get less and less and more stale with polyrepo.
Note that I was concurrently adding an update to my post as you posted this (though I think my update is orthogonal to your point here.)

With regard to contemporary attitudes to verification, we know that Eddington went to Principe to measure the magnitude of gravity’s effect on light specifically because it would be seen (and was) as strong confirmation of the theory.
Ironically Marbury was about Congress gutting the courts. Jefferson's Congress canceled 18 federal courts, leaving 18 judges (appointed by Adams at the end of his term, and who had not yet been seated) with no court to sit in! The case was a suit to force Jefferson's Secretary of State (Madison!) to give those new judges their commission. Marbury is a fairly complex case.

Anyways, Adams' 18 judges were not sat. This could happen again: just close out a bunch of judges' courts -- they'll still be judges for life, but judges without a court.

Hi! The (front end) developer of prouder here.

I was really glad that I found this toolkit just before we released our app. We were previously relying on Google's other 3D viewer (because of course they have two), model-viewer, embedded in a web view.

Thermion has solved a lot of the problems we had with the old web view solution, (performance issues, load times, transparency, etc.) so I'm happy to contribute back to the project in any way I can!

That isn't the point. My government is supposed to have it's rules made by one body, congress. It's very strange to me that there's a large contingent of people - even some who pretend to be lawyers - who think that it's fine that some random guy that gets hired through a political appointment by the executive is the one actually making the rules.
I just realized a new thing what i dislike about scrum. That is this argument people bring up:

“Scrum works … if it is being properly implemented and followed.”

Sure that is with almost everything. In addition if you need an army of scrum coaches to implement scrum and you see many failures in the industry isn’t it time to rethink the process how we create software?

Maybe scrum isn’t the solution but just a stepping stone that came after waterfall.
I honestly don't get this thread and the complaining. Yes, I was one of those empowered engineers at an org that did ALL of the DevOps. But do ya'll seriously think you don't sometimes need people who do ONLY DevOps?

Well done on building this.

I can see this being useful, devil is in the details of how good the UI is. I don't use Python yet for LLM stuff but I may do in the future (for other reasons). But something like this might be useful to me.

"Feeling native" is overrated. Most users want a fast reponsive UI, THAT kind of "native".

> You get about 40% more power/area in space vs on the ground. You need about ~22 TW to "power" humanity. So you need about 70,000 km^2 of space […]. So lets round it to 100,000 km^2. But thats a significantly smaller area than the terrestrial equivalent of about 500,000 km^2.

Those number are inconsistent with each other. Seems you calculated with 400% more power/area in space vs on the ground. That seems incorrect to me, as it would make space solar convert close to 100% of incident solar energy to electricity.

Europe is a big place. Either way, it's the most rock solid distro in my personal experience.

YaST, their system configuration tool, is the best there is. It has a GUI, TUI, and sets of commands that let you configure everything without having to guess much of anything.

I am often tinkering too much with my system, and have been burned a lot in other distros, but somehow openSUSE always has my back. Not to mention the great docs, great community and their open build system.

I run Leap, but those that want something more "up to date" can choose Tumbleweed. If you want a rolling distro but are more cautious about it, you can run Tumbleweed Slowroll.

Their NVIDIA support is great as well, as others have pointed out. It's not just the fact that you can secure boot, it also allows you to easily add an official NVIDIA repo for anything CUDA, profilling, container and video game development related (NVIDIA's texture tools).

Sure there is Ubuntu and Redhat, but the former is quite opinionated, and the latter's community version is a bit too flaky for my taste given it runs the latest and "greatest" of everything.
Binary search is a great example of why you can't just look at the loop control variables to understand what body does for the iterations.

You have to look at both. If it turns out that the body's behavior can be easily described in terms of the loop control variables (or the reverse), great, but assuming that it does and trying to fix up things when that gets complicated is a disaster.

Of course, if you dislike break, you can fake it with continue and a flag, as long as your loop control guarantees termination. However, that complicates understanding the loop's behavior in terms of said control.
> Ask China why they fought that opium war, and how they feel about such things lately. They are still mad about it.

Was this meant to be ironic? Most of the illicit fent precursors comes from China now, I would guess it’s only a matter of time until Chinese producers look inward rather than just at export, which is why I’m surprised the Chinese government isn’t taking a harder line stance on illicit fent production and export.
Reversing Chevron doesn't mean that Congress has to do all the work. It means that the courts will interpret what the statutory language allows when the agencies do their rulemaking. It's really that simple, and it's not a big deal.

I think skill is also an issue here, in both directions. I have worked with a company that followed the opposite of move fast and it just turned into a 'who is the most correct' and 'what is the most elegant code' competition. We didn't push out a single new feature in the three years i'd worked there at that point. There was so much focus on code that we gave almost no time to business requirements.

The wider implication of this was that the number of tickets we got dropped dramatically, because users knew they'd never be resolved anyway.

Balance is key.

The capex in something, the opex is neglible, but the opportunity cost doesn't make sense until energy prices go very low or negative is some permanent fashion, or both fuel costs are very high and the switching to alternatives costs too much, or is even infeasible (e.g., air and space transport, shipping, steel production). A premium might make sense for specialist operators who want 'carbon neutral fuel', and have customers willing to pay for it.
Locomotion had more of a RollerCoaster Tycoon feel to it if I recall. It was also more scenario driven (much like RCT) than Transport Tycoon was, which was essentially a sandbox. I also recall the engine being far more sophisticated, with more physics going into say curve taking and acceleration.

Personally, it was not my cup of tea in 2004 and I always stuck to the original (which I think was/is the popular opinion of the game) and I in particular dislike the complexity of RCT and Locomotion's construction UI compared to TT. But I do think Locomotion has some charm and perhaps is best viewed not as a sequel, but a different take on what TT could have been.

The end result will be productions going dark and staying dark. As with newspapers, turn everything off, go home and stay home.

It is already happening in Hollywood. Massive bloodletting and unemployment as tens of thousands of jobs simply evaporate into the ether.

Even low budget/low manpower efforts like reality shows are getting axed left and right.

With the exception of CBS, network television is experiencing a gaping chest wound, with everything posting massive loses in viewership every year. CBS is the healthiest, but even their top shows are getting lighter by 25% a year. Nearly all their shows are some variation on the same thing. Cop show, fire show, md shows.

When was the last time anyone talked about a show on network television? Decades? I can't name a single show on any network, and I know I am not alone in that regard. I can only name a handful of shows on cable, but that's only because we talk about how bad they are.

The largest owner of broadcast stations is trying to dump 30% of its holdings, including its best performing stations. The problem? No takers. No one wants to buy a ship that is sinking.

The desired effect is to break the federal government so states that want to e.g. pollute the environment and leave the poor uneducated can do so without interference.
Not really. If congress writes the laws intending the responsible agency to resolve ambiguities (which they do in just about every case) and doesn't object via CRA I don't see how that isn't an explicit approval.
But that means they would never be done with any law. Rather than creating the EPA in the 70’s and funding and authorizing it to do its thing, every session of congress would have to consider every topic that comes before the EPA every year.

It’s unworkable. And that is the goal.
Having watched the infrastructure side of things evolve from the late 90s/early 2000s, where every HP/IBM rackmount was a snowflake, configuration and releases were hand rolled and debugging server / OS / package dependency issues (not to mention scaling and managing load balancers) were exclusively manual to where we are today with Kubernetes, I would select Kube all day everyday. A consistent and now very stable substrate and API I can expect pretty much everywhere, which handles rollouts, resources, health checking/auto healing and scaling for me, and pretty much lets me sleep while infra is failing? Good luck debugging that hand rolled bash script to pull a container after whoever wrote it has left (and good luck scaling it).

Internet, social media, and democratisation of means of content monetisation facilitated the emergence of tens of thousands of "celebrities" who weren't being carefully paraded in front of a handful of photographers and interviewed by a handful of interviewers. What we then discovered was that global attention splintered and magazines and newspapers had to compete with blogs and social media for audiences' attention and advertising money. Initially hesitant, politicians and corporations allowed outsiders access previously limited to accredited journalists, because it weakened the hold the traditional media had on them.
