Sorry for the confusion. It's not necessarily preallocated but it just so happens that the new dam will generate x mwh per year and the LNG plant will consume close to x mwh per year. They are also within a few hundred km iirc. The public utility says that the dam's generation goes into the provincial pool and the plant's draw comes from the pool and I have no reason to not believe them...

But effectively private industry gets the benefit and we have to start the process over again to build another generation source.
I can't see how 80% of desktops being Windows is proof that most developers use macOS is a myth. Developers probably represent much less than 20% of all desktops, so it's a moot point.

Alas, the audience targeted by the post would most likely have preferred a video of the instructions rather than text. For tasks related to configuring a visual computing environment (such as the desktop), this would also make some sense.

Might be a lost cause in the tiktok era, but the text / command line / unix pipes paradigm of computing is extremely powerful and it would be a blessing if educators would find way to make it attractive to students...
That's pretty active, assuming the system somehow pulls them all together in some way.
I like to use the strangler fig pattern. This concept is used to build a new version of a system alongside an existing legacy system, but I think the idea also works for building a new documentation system alongside a heap of old unorganized info.

Start by building a structure with some empty templates, a d a few instructional examples. Then ask the team to bring over information into the new system whenever they find something useful in the old system. Minimally, ask them to drop a link in a relevant hub or two. Even better if they spend 5 minutes copying it over to the new system, and adding a note with a link to the new version in the old system.

Over time the new documentation system will strangle the old one. Hence the name.

Team participation is a must. This will not work if it is a one man effort. Have managers push and encourage people to participate in the documentation effort.

Side note: the strangler gig is a fazcinating plant.
This is why I go with Fedora Silverblue for my elderly family. When they had Windows installed, most support calls was about crazy and confusing full screen pop ups and forced upgrades.

With a stable disto, everything just works and keeps up to date without bothering the user.

Why anyone uses Windows today is a mystery to me. My guess is force of habit and lock-inn effects.

China is the largest builder of renewable energy, in the form of solar and wind as well as huge hydro projects and nuclear. So it’s not just relying on coal. A city like Lanzhou that has lots of access to renewables (since that capacity is mostly in west/mid-west China) is actually being cleaned up pretty quickly since it is easier to shutdown coal plants.
Absolutely, but not even Facebook enforced MFA... Though they do offer it. I just can't imagine the absolute nightmare it must be to get Facebook, Google or Microsoft to reset your MFA if you lose it. You might as well create a new account.

We did a MFA reset for a remote coworker a few weeks ago, the about of validation and procedures we had to go through was insane, but also the only way to ensure that this is a correct reset.

MFA is really really important, but there's no good solutions for it yet.

No but has anyone in actually life has gotten their blood sucked by a bat? like a legit flying bat? on reddit i read this one post where the family saw a single bat that was as big as a fully grown street cat. and then they saw the group of them all the same size?! do they actually suck blood or is it just some movie thing?
SSO + 2FA is more secure in practice than letting people create/manage their own accounts at every service. Because:

- You can force a password policy centrally (minimum 12 char + uppercase/lowercase + number etc), for every service the company is using that supports SSO.

- You can force 2FA, again for every service the company is using that supports SSO.

- You can disable an account immediately from the central admin panel as soon as you notice an account is stolen.

- When the employee leaves the company, you can delete their account centrally from every service, so there are no inactive company accounts registered to various services.
No, I know the plant will pay for its usage. But to me, the net benefit of the dam is effectively zeroed out from the onset. The province was barely able to carry the project through to completion in the first place. Now we gotta start the process over again with a new government and people on both sides are upset at the completion.

Likely, we'll simply build a bunch of LNG facilities which kind of defeats the purpose of the dam in the first place.
UHV also isn’t quite built out enough yet, they have some capacity to move energy from west to east, just not nearly enough. Instead, they are focusing on more nuclear in the east, and can maybe rebalance more industrial production out west if water isn’t a concern.

This sounds like a mistake. I gifted my 1000s of lego bricks from the 70s and early 80s to my nephew. I don't see why it needs to be renewable; they will be fine in another 50 years. Unless it is the same quality, but I highly doubt that.

SMIC has been forced to focus only on DUV technolog, and take that as far as it can go. That’s not bad for the short term. DUV is actually just as good if not better than EUV for the nodes they’re working on.

TSMC is putting a lot of their R&D into next generation technologies like EUV, backside power, advanced packaging/chiplet stuff, glass substrates etc

I’m not sure SMIC will be able to keep up when these efforts bear fruit. Eventually they’ll need EUV to unlock further progress.

SMIC has been able to poach talent by throwing mountains of money at them. This might not be possible going forward. Not being able to work on EUV could be career suicide, and I’m not so sure China can be so frivolous with their money anymore. They have to start raising taxes to compensate for the loss of land lease revenue.
I'm pretty sure what happens in reality is that someone makes a crappy product and then the warranty claims keep coming and because warranty claims cost them money, they keep improving the quality until the warranty claims stop coming. It's not that they wouldn't improve the quality, it's that the bean counters don't see it in their spreadsheets and thus no time is allocated to engineers building the next revision.

> Hand-rolled recursive descent parsers as well as parser combinators can easily obscure implicit resolution of grammar ambiguities.

Could you give a concrete, real-life example of this? I have written many recursive-descent parsers and never ran into this problem (Apache Jackrabbit Oak SQL and XPath parser, H2 database engine, PointBase Micro database engine, HypersonicSQL, NewSQL, Regex parsers, GraphQL parsers, and currently the Bau programming language).

I have often heard that Bison / Yacc / ANTLR etc are "superior", but mostly from people that didn't actually have to write and maintain production-quality parsers. I do have experience with the above parser generators, eg. for university projects, and Apache Jackrabbit (2.x). I remember that in each case, the parser generators had some "limitations" that caused problems down the line. Then I had to spend more time trying to work around the parser generator limitations than actually doing productive work.

This may sound harsh, but well that's my experience... I would love to hear from people that had a different experience for non-trivial projects...
We have SSO + 2FA in place, and would like to use Bitwarden for the rest of the password management. But for a company around ~50 people, the pricing feels too expensive, considering the only purpose is to manage a few passwords. So for now we are using Keepass which is kind of painful, but free. We would probably be willing to pay ~2$ per user per month, but instead it is 6$ if you want Bitwarden to work integrated with your SSO which means 3600$ per year.

>At least here in the deep south people don't pack intersections before a light change like they did in southern california, that made driving way more tedious than it needed to be.

In many many many intersections in LA, there is no protected left, so the only way to turn left is to sit in the intersection and then turn on red. I’ve seen a lot of people from the suburbs not understand this, and let 2 or 3 cycles of the light go by before they realize. And everyone sitting behind them waiting to also turn left gets (understandably imo) really annoyed.
WSL2 doesn't run under the Windows kernel, it runs the Linux kernel under the Windows hypervisor, side-by-side with the Windows kernel (in another lightweight VM). Honestly it's kinda crazy that Windows natively now runs as a VM.

There's a fundamental point missing in this analysis. That is the difference in skin in the game and upside/downside game theory dynamics for people involved. An early "founder" by definition has a lot of upside and very little downside and have a lot of ownership. And hence they behave in a particular way. They are actually taking very little risk.

A late stage founder or a professional manager ceo has amassed stuff that they can lose more easily than stuff they potentially can gain. To continue to behave in the same way, they must be willing to take a lot of risk. And a lot of normal people don't want to take such risks.

Only really crazy people – be it a founder or a professional manager – will disregard game theory dynamics and work against their own apparent self-interest and take huge risks. And they tend to expect people around them to take similar huge risks along with them. We call them unreasonable people. And only really unreasonable people can make huge changes in society. This is by definition true because only such people will behave in an outlier manner, and if they do so with a huge amount of capital and power in their control, they can change societies in big ways. If we think that is working well, we celebrate them; and if we think it is horrible, we write cautionary tales about them. It is possible to have both perceptions to be held by different groups of people at the same time.

All the rest about hiring good people and letting them do etc is all just details of dynamics emanating from this unreasonable risk taking ability a person can manifest. I don't believe this can be turned into a playbook that can be taught in a management school. Management schools already teach how to take risks such that downside doesn't befall on the person who went to management school and instead falls on others. Everyone can subconsciously sense this about MBAs and hence the reaction they get. As companies become big and have a lot of external players with skin in the game (aka stakeholders) who are at a distance, they want these MBA types to manage that risk in such a way that it doesn't befall them. That's fundamentally very different from a founder who is not at a distance, but within. Still, founders also do the same when it is them vs their employees. In this aspect, it is all relative.

Gradients, spectrums and distributions describe the quantifiable diversity in humans. People have different heights, weights, eye colors, and other numerically measurable qualities. We’re exposed to this and it’s not surprising.

What this thread is talking about is things like extra fingers, missing or extra nerves and muscles, and varying structural differences.

I recently started learning a lot about the muscular and nervous system in the hip area. Even on Wikipedia you routinely read things like „this muscles is missing in x% of population”. It blew my mind that there is so much difference to our internal structure.

I consider boot time from power off until I can start the first application I want.

But I am a bit strict about what I consider slow on modern hardware though. Why should a regular desktop distro wait around five seconds for networking and NTP before displaying login, or why should it take UEFI 5s to start the OS. I can forgive SBCs running off an SD card taking 15-30 seconds to boot, but not a PC that's significantly faster in all other aspects.

I'm not even going to start with all the crap that starts on an average Windows desktop. It's disgusting.

I feel like Amazon is a great case in point - Bezos exercised direct command-and-control of all major initiatives for his entire tenure at the helm.

Delegation was obviously in play, but responsibility was never diffused. At the end of the day, there was a direct chain of responsibility from you all the way up to Bezos, and he wouldn't hesitate to send one of his personal fixers in if things were going off the rails in a particular branch of the organisational tree.

That means nothing if you don't scale it per capita or per total generation capacity or per GDP or something.

A sufficiently big country could possess/be-constructing both the most renewables and the most petrochemical plants at the same time.
You are right, however the existence of alternatives is extremely important and should always be mentioned.

Ben Horowitz talks about this in “The Hard Thing about Hard Things”. He uses the metaphor of an Offensive Lineman and the concept of “giving ground begrudgingly”.

His core concept is that one should slowly delegate responsibility. Not delegating anything is like the Offensive Lineman standing still. In that case the defense just runs around around you.

Instead he suggests that you move back slowly, offering resistance the way an O-Line does.

This seems very complimentary to what Paul mentioned.
in 0g, object that does not leave contact with the curved (by-whatever-means) rubber sheet will behave the same way

An inert object will sit on it kissing it and never go anywhere. The curvature of a sheet doesn’t matter cause there’s no “down” and no forces. If you push it “in” a little and release, the sheet tension will push it back out but not “to” the well. You may start accelerating the system to create gravity-like situation, but that’s the point.
> It seems that you agree that they are wealthier than they would otherwise be because they try to minimise taxes.

I've written the opposite actually. They would be much better off if they tried doing something else with their time rather than spending it avoiding taxes. The amount of effort (and money actually, tax attorney aren't cheap) would be much better invested elsewhere.

Edit, a fun fact I thought about: they are donating to charity so that 66% of the donation could be deduced from taxes. And yes, their main motivation is tax exemption not the charity cause (which is a nice side effect). Which means they are willing to pay a 50% premium to give money to somebody else than the state. Now talk about rationality and how it makes them richer.
I suppose "those" would have worked even better, because the "the" didn't quite register for me before you pointed it out.

Sure. I do not live in the terminal. But, I work with Linux enough to comfortably navigate around, read various shell scripts with relative ease. With the exception of awk. Which to me signals that, at least in my case, awk has a higher barrier for entry compared to most other things in the same environment.

So with alternatives around I can more easily parse myself, I happily concede that I have a skill issue with awk.
