This is de-risking the other way. It allows the energy companies to build their infrastructure without worries that they will get undercut by a competitor and be stuck with overbuilt infrastructure and no one to sell to.

Without that commitment, the investment doesn't get made into the new power generation. Margins in that industry are much lower than in tech.
I think that's kinda the point. It's not EA specific but general economic forces with a large difference in development.

Take a closer look at how some min downtime tools work. They often use a drop-swap strategy to replace an old table name with a new one that has schema changes.

There are sometimes temporary views to keep the old and new code working during gradual transitions.

Going to disagree, there.

What did turning off some of the commercial features of the plugin have to do with the security fix?

WPE had already created a fix for the security issue. It was just being artificially being prevented from being deployed.

They didn't just fork ACF into SCF. They forked it, then took over all of ACF's reputation, rating, and are arguably committing trademark infringement in order to do so, none of which was needed for the security fix.

Matt says himself "I am WordPress.org. It's not a part of the Foundation" (but you'd be forgiven for thinking so, given that the website resides on the Foundations AS network...

As for the security fix itself:

It's not much of one. It hides some POST variables or doesn't populate them, but they're still present in the REQUEST supervariable. It's relatively pointless as a security fix because if there -was- an exploit for it, the exploit would still work with a simple "s/_POST/_REQUEST/g".

It also seems entirely likely that Matt directed engineers at Automattic to find something, anything, that could plausibly called a security hole so that he could artificially catalyze this situation into existence.
That kind of embedded work, like connect-the-dots pcb layout work, went overseas 15-20 years ago. The typical new embedded project in the US today has minimally a not-particularly-resource-constrained 8-bit processor with gobs of fancy peripherals, something like the PIC Q10 series or the ST equivalent. The median would be a 32-bit ARM Cortex M.

Typical IoT SoCs are a step up from that but it’s not huge. The ESP32 is pretty representative but there are significant other options - see what Amazon supports in FreeRTOS as a starter.

It’s a big leap from small IoT SoCs to SBCs like the Pi.
The problem is that people expect Linux to work exactly the same as Windows. But they simultaneously expect it to fix all the things Windows has broken. Those two aren't compatible.

Linux desktops having different design philosophies is why they're any good. if they worked like Windows, they would suck ass, and nobody would even think about switching. I mean, really? Windows or shitty cheap Windows? Come on now. We need to think about what makes Linux intriguing in the first place.

While it is technically a socket, an oil filter wrench is reasonably specialized in that you won't see it in a standard socket set. Same may be true of a spark plug socket depending on your car.

Otherwise, doing routine/basic maintenance on a car, such as changing the oil, requires a means of getting under the car (ramps or jack and stands) and of handling large amounts of fluids (drain pan and funnel) neither of which you need to do the equivalent work on a bike.

A torque wrench is much more important for car maintenance than for bike maintenance (and you'll need a bigger one!). Depending on the condition of your car you may want a breaker bar.

Obviously doing anything with the suspension requires a spring compressor, and troubleshooting certain engine problems requires a compression tester, but those are needed infrequently enough that they can be rented or borrowed.

And that's before getting into the model-specific specialized tools for something like a timing belt change, or anything electronic (though I recommend anyone with a car should get a cheap Bluetooth OBDII reader).

I agree it has some problems. For now, it is mostly a UX proof-of-concept and probably not how an official poll should be conducted.

> What problem is this envisioned as solving?

Its core mission is to legitimize all candidates on the ballot. This is something caucuses and ranked-choice voting can do, but since our general elections don't work this way, I wonder if the voting experience could be augmented from the private sector. (Of course, efforts to change how our actual elections work is still worthwhile and can be pursued in parallel).

Basically, if enough people (millions) were to use an app like this to meta-vote before committing to a single actual vote, we could simulate alternative voting processes without government involvement.
And recently found the be vastly more expensive than a renewable grid when looking at total system cost.

It needs to come down by 85% in cost to be equal to the renewable system.

Every dollar invested in nuclear today prolongs our reliance on fossil fuels. We get enormously more value of the money simply by building renewables.

> The study finds that investments in flexibility in the electricity supply are needed in both systems due to the constant production pattern of nuclear and the variability of renewable energy sources. However, the scenario with high nuclear implementation is 1.2 billion EUR more expensive annually compared to a scenario only based on renewables, with all systems completely balancing supply and demand across all energy sectors in every hour. For nuclear power to be cost competitive with renewables an investment cost of 1.55 MEUR/MW must be achieved, which is substantially below any cost projection for nuclear power.

Quite a few people here report getting anxious even when taking their BP themselves:

https://www.innerhealthstudio.com/phobia-taking-blood-pressu...

I'm one of them. I bought a device with memory and covered the screen with a piece of card. Then I take BP for two weeks and ignore the first few days' readings. I seem to get used to it after a few days. This gets me readings that are very close to 120/80.

I've had anxiety about blood pressure ever since running for an appointment, while being on the first day of a new job when I was really amped up, and so (of course) had a dangerously high reading. I still remember the guy's eyes widening as he looked at the screen. Ever since then I've hated having BP taken and I can feel my BP and pulse increasing the moment I step into a doctor's office. Fortunately my doctor understands and doesn't try to push pills on me.

I wish there were some way of measuring BP without knowing it's being done. The act of measurement can greatly affect the result, which is counter-productive in several ways (not the least of which is un-needed anxiety).

York Cardiologist on Youtube is good on BP, and why apparently high BP should not automatically mean pills, although undoubtedly it sometimes should. (Usual disclaimer: this is not medical advice, ask your doctor about your specific situation.)
By that standard, nothing is stable. New features are added to HTML, the Linux kernel, x86, PHP, etc all the time. In fact, building on top of higher level abstractions can sometime insulate your application from this change too.
Yeah, good times. I just recently had one that was a really strong misdirection, ended up being 2 simultaneous other, non related things that conspired to make it look convincingly like my code was not doing what it was supposed to. I even wrote tests to see if I had found a corner-case compiler bug or some broken library code. I was half way through opening an issue on the library when the real culprit became apparent. It was actually a subtle bug in the testing setup combined with me errantly defining a hardware interface on an ancient protocol as an HREG instead of an IREG, which just so happened to work fine until it created a callback loop inside the library through some kind of stack smashing or wayward pointer. I was really starting to doubt my sanity on this one.
A startup from ... the 1800's? Thanks for the context, I guess.
> because we were able to rent out the spare rooms on AirBnb

Unless you were the very first person in the entire area to think to do so, then the existence of that very market for you to rent spare rooms on is actually driving up the prices of properties so you have to do so.

It's also driving up the prices of long term rental, because landlords make more money in the short-term rental market. The prices of long-term rental also affect the floor price of permanent ownership.
> Using shared libraries is optimizing for a very different set of constraints than nixos, which iirc keeps like 90 versions of the same thing around just so everyone can have the one they want.

This isn't really true. One version of nixpkgs (i.e. a specific commit of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs) generally has one version of every package and other packages from the same nixpkgs version depending on it will use the same one as a dependency. Sometimes there are multiple versions (different major versions, different compile time options, etc.) but that is the same with other distros as well.

In that sense, NixOS is very similar to a more traditional distribution, just that NixOS' functional package management better encapsulates the process of making changes to its package repository compared to the ad-hoc nature of a mutable set of binary packages like traditional distros and makes it possible to see and rebuild the dependency graph at every point in time while a more traditional distro doesn't give you e.g. the option to pretend that it's 10 days or months ago.

You only really get multiple versions of the same packages if you start mixing different nixpkgs revisions, which is really only a good idea in edge cases. Old ones are also kept around for rollbacks, but those can be garbage collected.

Also if Windows is perfect out of the box then just use Windows. For me, I'd always have to spend hours configuring Windows to not be shitty and to adapt to my workflow. At that point I'm better off just running Debian.
This is often harder at large companies because you very rarely make career progress playing defense, so it becomes very tricky to do it fairly. It can work wonders if you have the right teammates, but it’s almost a prisoners dilemma game that falls apart as soon as one person opts out.
Right but how much of this improvement came from the invention and popularity of smartphones and how much of the innovation came from a company called Uber.
> And one of our super old offices has an 80s style wired green/yellow/red light indicator outside of the door, that presumably used to connect to a switch on the desk.

These light trees used to be (and probably still are in some places) used for the purpose of incident management when in operations centers like NOCs or similar. It is tied to internal status and incident management systems.
Get a heated mouse (those exist), heated mouse/desk pad (those exist), heated chair(pad), heated footpad (often bought for animals), some IR thingy for the head and you're covered. Any mask over your nose/mouth will retain a lot of warmth and humidity.

This is the same logic for electric cars where heat is expensive: conduction>>> convention. Heat the occupant(s) and not the air with heated steering wheels & heated seats. Some ICE gear shifter knobs would get warm from transmission conduction!

At one point in life, I had a heated mattress pad so I could turn the heat off a lot. I just ran it before I went to bed so it wouldn't be frigid when I got in. In the morning I'd just run into the shower and leave for the day. My place was western facing (in northern hemisphere) so I got a lot of afternoon sun and would return to a warm place in the afternoon.

Great to hear and glad I could be of some help :)

The mass media, and most people are getting twisted regarding AI. I stopped listening and reading any AI news a while back, which really helps. I do think EE sounds a bit like escapism in its current form. If you do decide to do EE, do it from a place of confidence and passion rather than fear of career failure etc. that’s when you’ll know it’s a good choice.

I do think people over estimate degrees a bit, in Software you can get very far without one, just pays to have experience and a portfolio if possible.

Speaking of decision matrix, make sure to add a special priority called “green grass bias” and give it the inverse weight of your top priority. Eg if your top priority weight is “10”, this bias should be “-10”.

And for all the options that aren’t your current situation, add this negative bias to their totals. So if doing EE scores 50 points, after the bias it will score 40 points.

I use it as a way to calculate for bias where the grass is greener.

Good luck mate, it will all be okay
Well, you will always feel it with most software out there - we no longer track development cycles on specific large releases.

When I read stuff like this, I'm left wondering if I'm the only person who actually lives in a place that has been infested with Airbnb. On paper, my neighborhood is the Hacker News dreamland. Nobody has a yard. There is train service. Many people don't have cars. There is no mandatory parking allowance. There is no zoning restriction against multifamily housing. Virtually every unit is at least attached. Multi-use is fine. Plenty of buildings contain both housing and businesses. There isn't a lot of traffic. It's walkable. The only major restriction is you can't build higher than five stories. And we've been in a construction boom for nearly a decade.

But much of that boom has been tearing down multifamily apartment complexes and replacing them with luxury townhouses and condos instead. Almost nobody is actually moving into those places. They're 90% being purchased by investors, mostly out of state investors, to be used as Airbnbs. There is a significant categorical difference between investment property today and investment property before Airbnb. Before Airbnb, you rented via long-term leases, or you bought hotels and apartments in really shitty neighborhoods to use as weekly or even daily rentals for homeless people with jobs. Now you can buy as little as a single unit and the infrastructure to rent it out daily as a hotel room to much wealthier travelers exists without you needing to do anything extra.

With predictable results. Even in neighorhoods with little to no zoning restrictions, with virtually nonstop construction of new housing, almost nobody lives here, the neighborhood is completely hollowed out, and all of these new luxury homes are mostly party houses used by rich college students and bachelorette parties.

"But 2 hours in 2030 against a year's demand today is still a nudge."

How much battery storage do you think we need? Surely not a year's worth.

For solar, we'd likely need 10-16 hours of storage to power stuff overnight. Maybe a little more to cover a few cloudy days. Sounds like we are about 5% of that now?
> Airbnb has in fact ruined communities and destroyed the dream of home ownership for an entire class of people

That is fair, but also misses the point. The issue with AirBnB is not that they are evil company and must be regulated. It's that they operate in a system where housing is an investment vehicle due to artificially constrained supply and tax system that is riddled with well intentioned and widely abused property ownership cuts. At worst they have accelerated the issue rather than caused it.

> Airbnb are, in fact, in control of their own morality.

Not entirely, they are a publicly listed company and will get sued if they do anything that will hurt the stock price.

Grrr - I strongly, viscerally disagree!

All of these new dependency bundling technologies were explicitly created to get out from under the abysmal state of packaging - from Docker (in some ways) and on to snap, flat pack, appimage, etc. This state of affairs was explained in no uncertain terms and widely repeated in the various manifestos associated with those projects. The same verbiage is probably still there if you go look. It seems crazy to act as if this recent memory is obscured by the mists of time, leaving us free to speculate on the direction of causality. We all lived this, and that’s not how it happened! Besides, in your telling, thousands of people and multiple separate organizations poured blood sweat and tears into these various bundling technologies for no good reason. Why’d they do that? I can’t help but suspect your answer is something like “it all worked fine, people just got lazy. Just simply work with the distro maintainer to get your package accepted and then … etc etc etc”. What do people have to do to communicate with the Linux people that this method of distribution is sucky and slow and excruciating? They’ve built gigantic standalone ecosystems to avoid doing it this way, yet the Linux people are still smugly telling themselves that people are just too stupid and lazy to do things The Right Way.

A $5k bike will fall apart way more quickly than a $1k to $2k bike. The only reason to get a $5k bike is if you are trying to win a race and have other people to do the maintenance for you.
