That is already a thing, and it's being expanded. The Stockholm municipal energy company is already operating what they claim to be the world's largest heat pump facility with a capacity to extract 225 MW of heat from treated wastewater. It first opened in 1986 and has been incrementally expanded over the years. Both the hot and the cold sides of the heat pumps are used; the cold side goes into the district cooling system and is used in e.g. datacenters. Still, this facility has both heat pumps, biofuel furnaces, and as a backup for the rare extremely cold days, resistive water heaters.

It should also be mentioned that Swedish electricity generation is effectively 100% renewable already; it's mainly wind, hydro and nuclear. The co-generation plants mainly produce heating and only a small amount of electricity, more or less as a byproduct.

Waste incineration has a more or less negligible carbon footprint if you look at the big picture.
What's the market share of windows on laptops these days, 20% perhaps? I don't know, but I know that Chromebooks and Macos are ahead, far ahead.

Once upon a time, there were fifty times as many Windows laptops as Linux (by which I mean debian, mint, etc) and Linux was ignorable. Now the factor is closer to ten, and I find it difficult to believe that device manufacturers simply ignore that. If they don't support S3, there likely is a better reason than the dominance of Windows.
> We need more optimization in this industry.

The Windows 11 context menu lag (and overall Windows bloat) is a product of Conway's law. Microsoft creates bloated software because it's a monopoly. So, "optimization" in this case would essentially be antitrust action.
Typically you look for its use in both academia and in the field (hence CUBE, for instance; widely used by the academics at Moratuwa who then go on to work on actual projects)

Nothing in this paper is actually new. Its a review. In general understanding various uncertainty principles is pretty foundational in engineering quantum things, for example transistors. They're also an essential part of how we understand electromagnetic waves from radio through WiFi and xrays.

In terms of direct engineering implications I think there are essentially none, but this is in the background of a lot of important stuff.
> Why is everyone so extreme?

I think that "everyone being so extreme" is part of a larger today's issue: people are just not okay anymore with being normal/average/just okay. And when I say "not okay" I really mean that people are anxious and get depressed.

If you think about it, it's crazy.

So people need to find something that defines themselves.

There's not anymore such thing like, let's say, "Robert who is vegan" but rather "A vegan named Robert" (or, specularly: "Robert who is carnivore" but rather "A carnivore named Robert").

The "issue" is strong in the IT industry as well, btw: no more "Robert who is an SWE/SDE/DevOps/whatever" but rather "An SWE/SDE/DevOps/whatever named Robert".

So yeah... People absorb these kind of "pre-made personalities" and don't bother developing their own. They get some off-the shelf opinions to repeat over and over, and don't bother developing their own.

Needless to say, echo chambers don't help.

Ok I get that people downvoted my comment being a killjoy, but the point I was trying to make is a serious one: namely that sign languages are real, valid languages, that Deaf people who speak and think in it should be taken seriously, and that the consequences of not doing so are severely damaging for the Deaf.

The Deaf community has suffered a lot of discrimination throughout history, and two of the biggest issues are non-deaf people deciding on their behalf what is best for them, and forcing them to use vocal languages (which makes as much sense as forcing a blind person to communicate via colorful paintings) while denying them access to sign language. Ask any Deaf person about Milan 1880 and why Alexander Graham Bell is so controversial in their community. A major driver in this has always been that people who don't know sign languages tend to think of them as funny interpretive miming.

With that in mind comparing sign languages to "haha Italian gesticulation funny" jokes without being aware of the differences can become a form of infantilization.

Lack of visibility is kind of the point for most of those users. Discord's a replacement for a group chat, not a facebook/myspace page. It was literally designed so those groups of 5-10 friends who play video games together online didn't need to faff about with a private forum, an IRC, and a voice chat server. The primary competition was Skype until Microsoft killed it. The last thing they want is randos butting in.
Oh wow, I did confuse Vue and Svelte. My previous comment is wrong about Vue and VDOM. Svelte is the one that uses the real DOM.
Author of the article here. That's not what I mean at all. As I said in the article, I love Center Parcs. And I've been on a cruise and spent a ton of money there, and it was totally worth it. The point in here was just that it's interesting to look at the market dynamics of a captive hoilday business like this and how that flows through the P&L and balance sheet.

E.g. Center Parcs makes insane gross margins e.g. food and drink because prices for those ARE insanely expensive relative to other places you could go out and eat. BUT that doesn't actually lead to crazy levels of profitability because it's a capital intensive business that requires lots of capex and/or debt financing to sustain.

The whole point is to take a deeper dive than most surface-level commentaries of "bloody hell Center Parcs is expensive" and see what's actually going on under the hood of the business.

And calling it 'price-gouging' is a bit of a nod to that, and it's a bit of a joke about how expensive a crap steak is there, and it's a way to get people's attention. Like other people have said, Center Parcs is mostly just a function of supply and demand. They have a great product, and people like me are willing to pay for it.
Party pooper checking in: easier to remember is that v is the verbose option in most tools, x and f you already know, z is auto-detected for as long as I remember so you don't need to pass that. Add c for creating an archive and, congratulations, you can now do 90% of the tasks you'll ever want to do with tar, especially defusing xkcd bombs!

(To go for 99%, add t for testing an archive to your repertoire. This is all I ever use; anything else I do with the relevant tools that I already know, like compression settings `tar c . | zstd -19 > my.tar.zstd` or extracting to a folder `cd /to/here && tar x ~/Downloads/ar.tar`. I'm sure tar has options for all this but that's not the one thing it should do and do well.)

I hadn't heard of the German option but I love it, shame really that z is obsolete :(

This is incorrect. Non-competes do mandate that there should be a compensation for the worker but not the value of said compensation.
Chances are, the computer will break or be replaced in five years or less. It doesn’t really matter if you reach 2%, 33%, or even 90% of the TBW if the system or component is replaced before it uses up all its writes.
I was about to drop into my spiel about “it isn't so much the adverts that bother me about web-based things, it is the stalky tracking”. Though after checking I was pleasantly surprised to find it doesn't make a pile of third-party requests as some ad-free-but-still-part-of-the-stalkerverse sites do.

I don't really trust such tools unless I host them myself (in DayJob I'm not allowed to trust such tools, lest I accidentally paste information about clients' people/customers into a site that posts the data out of the country) but at least this one is starting out OK, so congratulations to the creator for making something working and clean (even if it is ultimately of limited use as local tools work much better for this purpose).

It is sad that “without stalkyness and other unnecessary bulk & distractions” isn't the norm (even for desktop utilities too often) so can be pointed out as a special feature, but that is the world we live in…
People loosing their liberties because of breaking the law — as determined by due process — is not slavery. They may feel enslaved, but again they cannot feel enslaved in any meaningful sense of the word because they are not enslaved in any meaningful sense of the word.

I should look into these mods, the death waves were annoying. I mean I get it, you build a big new residential area, people move in quickly and are all roughly the same age when they do, but they could've done something to fix it like randomize ages or have people move out of the city and replaced by a differently aged person.
Depends on how much of the games underlying assumptions you can overwrite, and of course the fidelity you’re going for. In our case we’ve modified everything from citizen lifecycles to traffic behaviour to population calculations based on square footage - but this is still more in the realm of “visualization and communication” than “professional planning tool”.
Yes definetly. Apple's implementation is solid.

> The department also stationed a contractor at the IJmuiden complex 24/7 so that they can intervene immediately if anything goes wrong.

I'm surprised something as vital for the Netherlands as the IJmuiden sluice (also the largest in the world) wasn't staffed 24/7 until then.

Even if it's supposed to be reliable and automated, and having someone on watch 24/7 is somewhat expensive, it's nothing compared to the potential damage of a malfunction.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Nvidia is doing exactly that on their cloud: Compressing the video on the GPU using NVENC, building a package around it and then passing it to a NIC under the same PCIe switch (mellanox used to call that peerdirect) and sending it on its way.

The tech is all there, it just requires some arcane knowledge.

Yup, we’ve got a big list of mods to help alleviate some of these issues. Due to the way we’ve modeled the corridors and daily population flow in and out of the city, we still get roving herds of ambulances…

Author of the article here -- kind of, but the idea here was just to write a piece about a capital-intensive business compared to the couple of capital-light businesses I'd covered in the prior articles I wrote, and how that difference in capital requirements plays through the P&L, balance sheet and cash flow statement. One effect of capital intensity is that EBITDA becomes a less useful measure, sure. Another effect is that the cashflow statement becomes incredibly important to running the business, as does understanding the difference between maintenance capex and growth capex.
For me it was Termination Shock that finally convinced me to stop reading his books. He just likes to write really long, repetitive and wildly overly detailed books. I was entertained by SevenEves and Reamde but I'm open to the possibility that I might very well react as I did to Termination Shock if I tried rereading them.

Edit: I've read and very much enjoyed a ton of Stephenson (Cryptonomicon, The Baroque Cycle, Anathem) but his recent stuff is tailing off for me. I don't know if it's me or him.
Maybe this might help: the list of mods and what they do. You can pick what seems most useful for your game.

They are miles away from `gofmt` or `rust fmt` or `cargo clippy` and so on.

It's not opinionated, but requiring you to form your own opinion or at least choose from a palette of opinions.

It requires effort to opt-in rather than effort to opt-out.

The community doesn't frown on code that's not adhering to the common standard or code that doesn't pass the "out of the box" linter.

So, if I have a typescript project with a tree of some 20 dependencies (which is, unfortunately, a tiny project), I'll have at least five styles of code when it browse through it. Some JS, some TS, some strictly linted with "no-bikeshedding", some linted with configs that are bigger than the codebase itself. Some linted with outdated. Many not linted at all. It's really a mess. Even if each of the 20 dependencies themselves are clean, beauties, the whole is an inconsistent mess.

Since it's a non constant time implementation of a specific part of the EC operation (modular inversion) my guess would be they reused the code for that everywhere and it's probably also present in ecdh and all other algorithms requiring a modular inversion.
"Power" technically means more than mere electricity (or electric power). In the UK, the modern steam engine can trace its origins back to either 1764 or 1712 (depending on how you count). Even in the one in 1712 served to help lift coal out of a mine, a form of reliance. But even if we limit ourselves to steam trains and regular service, the Liverpool-Manchester railway from 1830 is also a form of reliance. In any case, Britain has been reliant on coal-fired power (in the broadest sense) for a lot longer than 140 years. And in the narrower sense, it took decades for electricity to be a bare necessity.

Good news is you can even overlay screenshots of Google Earth (which uses high-res data, some of it at 30 cm2 per pixel). Will take some fiddling with the coords, but it works!
That's one way of looking at it.

Another way of looking at it, is that your vision is not constructive, because you wave away the real solution as "not actionable". Parent does not propose concrete action, but neither do you. We can have meaningful discussion without everything having to be accompanied by a five-step plan.

For actionable reduction of waste, just look at how Europe has a comparable life style as the US, whilst using less resources and emitting less GHG equivalent. Not placing the EU on a pedestal. Just saying that reduction is not just possible, it's being done, as we speak. But it requires changes and is for sure a harder sell than "no need to change any habits, technology will save us".

I think it's more about the network effect: the point of social networks is to talk with your friends, so you want to be on a network your friends are on.
5-7 years should be a no-brainer, that's pretty good value since the panels and batteries easily last longer than that.
Sure. Not sure which part you were referring to, but I'll provide both.

Here for example is an article that refers to the fact that the RIEC is not headed by a person (natuurlijke persoon) and hence you can't take it to court:

https://www.nysingh.nl/blog/inzageverzoek-bij-riec-of-bij-ge...

But it's also helpful to use chatgpt here. Ask it if it is true that the RIEC as organisation cannot be taken to court because it's not headed by a natural person. I've asked that question before and it's answer in the affirmative. Note also, the RIEC has computer systems but asks it's partners, through which it does all it's work, not to put anything into their computers unless it's absolutely necessary for the job. It never is and it cannot be taken to court so it's untouchable.

As to the perjury part, first I'll answer in one way, I filed criminal charges of obstruction of justice against a prosecutor who was the former head of the RIEC who was pretending to prosecute his own asset for stalking merely so that he could make sure that the case did not succeed (because their manner of using this asset was absolutely illegal, they were facilitating illegal activity against people not involved in any criminal activity [collateral damage]). They dismissed the case, I appealed. The appeal went to the attorney general. The attorney general ignored and simply did not comment on any of the evidence and mere responded only to the perjury charge, stating that a prosecutor could not be charged with perjury (meineed), in the sense of artikel bla, bla (The bill for perjury). Suggestioning that the eeds oath (Oath not to lie) that they take when they become a prosecutor is useless.

So here is a link that states that anyone whose job includes a secrecy obligation is exempt from being prosecuted for perjury. They give an "example" of lawyer, but this was just mis-direction at the time, the wording is very broad and in my opinion so broad that it includes everyone in Dutch government.

https://www.judex.nl/rechtsgebied/strafrecht/columns/10-vrag...

And if not, then the attorney general told me in a letter, I just don't have that online.
