They’re not. When considering the resilience of the Swedish grid a 10-year winter is used.

So maybe stop with the hyperboles?

Then a ton of post-fact reasoning for why it was actually fine that half the French nuclear supply was offline during the largest energy crisis in a generation.

Please get back to reality.

Wasted? For the first time since the Industrial Revolution we have found a new cheapest near infinitely scalable energy source: renewables.

Nuclear power was the last attempt, it never delivered on the promises.

I love how you say that it would be “available now” when Flamaville 3 started at the same time currently is 6x over budget and 12 year late on a 5 year planned construction timeline.

Germany would have had massive cumulative emissions when still waiting for nuclear power to come online.

But that’s the problem with you guys. You don’t care about emissions. It’s completely fine locking in fossil fuels for 20 years as we wait for nuclear power to come online.

And then in the next sentence you turn around denigrating even a single percentage of fossil fuels as we transition into a renewable grid, before said nuclear would come online.

It’s simply completely senseless. You’re making ridicule of yourself.

Artavolo – A Flexible Project Management Tool Combining Boards, Tables, Calendar
I’m excited to share Artavolo, a project management tool I’ve been working on to help teams and individuals streamline their workflows. It combines the visual organization of Trello, the powerful data structure of Airtable, and a built-in calendar view to track deadlines and schedules in one platform.

Why I Built It:
I found that existing tools often forced you to choose between visual simplicity or deeper data structure, and switching between multiple apps was inefficient. So I wanted to create something that blends the best of both worlds, giving users the flexibility to manage their tasks however they prefer—whether that’s through Kanban boards, structured tables, or calendar views.

Key Features:
Kanban, Table, and Calendar Views: Switch between different views based on your needs.
Custom Fields: Adapt your projects to your specific workflow by adding custom fields.
Real-Time Collaboration: Teams can work together seamlessly with live updates and task tracking.
Freemium Model: Start using it for free, with premium features available for growing teams.
If you’re managing client projects, team tasks, or personal workflows and are tired of juggling between multiple tools, I’d love for you to check out Artavolo and share your feedback. You can explore it here: www.artavolo.com.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Did they really assume that they were going to be able to _restandardize_ SQL? No wonder IndexDB is hot useless garbage.

The standardization issues around SQL already exist, are already widely known, and where common workarounds are already in practice. It's also an open source project that could have _easily_ incorporated compatibility code for this specific use case anyways.

They made blind fealty to process more important than the outcome to end users.

What a waste.
I arrived at Miami station last week and got an uber, not one of the waiting taxis, because I wanted

1) Guarantee of payment by card

2) Guarantee of receipt

3) Guarantee of going to the right destination

The week before I landed at Dulles and got an Uber. The queue for the taxis was very long, but the wait for Uber was hardly quick either. Last time I took a taxi in DC they refused to take card. That was pre-covid, but why would I take the chance again.

Taxi companies did it to themselves.
Lately, I have seen few gateways around LLM. Namely, openrouter, portkey.ai, etc.

Came here to ask the same question.

My intuition is yes -- Boeing is America's last / only major commercial aviation jet mfr. -- and I don't think Uncle Sam will let them fail. Economically, I disagree with such a policy, but there's no reason I shouldn't profit from it.
> The code becomes unclever and accessible to everyone on the call?

Yep, bullshit gets called out immediately.

> Divided by 4-5 or that’s per person?

Compared to other places, I'd say what took teams much bigger than us weeks or months we can do in a days.

But we have very little bullshit standing in our way, we work in 2 day sprints, but without all this sprint ceremonies. No retros, no standups, no kanbans, no story boards points. It's just "here's a business problem, you've got 2 days go make us a solution". After 2 days we can demo it, and if its good enough then we can move onto the next highest priority problem, or maybe the solution does X,Y and Z but then they decide they'd also like A, B and C we can keep working on it.

We also have our SME / PO on the call with us all day too, so we can get immediate feedback from them as we are dev'ing. EVerything is centered around having little no time between us actually doing the dev work and getting feedback on it. We can iterate really fast.

And because we have multiple devs on the call, we don't need PRs or code reviews.

Some developers absolutely hate this setup though, and just seem unable to code when other people are watching.

Why is the bezel so thick? A 1-2cm bezel around the entire "mini" device seems a bit odd, given that the iPad Mini is a relatively tiny device and phones these days come with a 1-2mm bezel (10x less useless border).

Is it a cost saving measure / sneaky margin increaser, or what might be the motivation?

Edit:

Touch interference is a good idea. Still, from the picture, it looks like the bezel could be half as thick and work well. Sorry to be such a stickler, I am genuinely curious if Apple is chasing better margins, the best feasible UX, or something else.

Could it be that since this device is only $650 USD, it isn't expensive enough to warrant a premium display? (Like the iPhone SE https://www.apple.com/iphone-se/)

If so, I wish there was a fancier "Pro" model with premium components. IIRC, I paid $1000 for my first iPad, it was the first super high-resolution one back in 2012. Perhaps there aren't enough customers who are sensitive to wasted screen real estate on an 8-inch device.. and FWIW I have noticed a constant stream of toddlers pacified by iPad Minis whenever I'm at Costco.
I honestly think their leadership could be replaced with an LLM at this point.

> If shaming did work, then it would have been implemented widely and obesity is solved. But it's not. We don't have anything that works as well as ozempic.

What kind of reasoning is this? This is only true if you believe good policies always get implemented. You'll notice other countries like Japan don't require every man and child to be drugged to stop eating food, and they have a much stronger sense of shame for being an undue burden on society.
It's hard to believe that despite all the bad news and scandal, the stock is higher than it was in 2015 and is in the same 100-200 dollar range.
Thanks for sharing. I guess Google is still king for some things. Most official documentations I work with are good on their own, I think the C# (really .Net in general) is perhaps the hardest to traverse. But that is mostly because there is so much of it for so many versions, and here a search engine typically doesn’t do much better than their own search.

I use LLMs, almost exclusively as fancy auto-complete because I’ve never had a computation result from them that wasn’t wrong. I think I would frankly ask one before I use Google though. I used ChatGPT for a recipe the other day. For baking very basic bread which I sort of know how to do, or at least well enough to spot a terrible recipe even though I can’t do it without one. The three results I clicked on Google were worse than the chat bot, though to be fair, two of them were just advertisements and probably written by an LLM.

I agree with your first point.

Configuration as code is actually one of the best parts of Drupal now. I think it's probably symfony as well under the hood, but you can just import / export your config with a CLI and commit as yml, makes moving configuration to higher / lower environments so pleasant.

But yes, I think with Drupal 7 there were a lot more "site builders" using Drupal, where D8 I imagine it's mostly just developers left standing.
I used a KaiOS device for about 6 months. My expectations weren’t high, but texting and T9 input were a mess:

A) I had to manually enter captital I, apostrophe, and ‘m’ every time I wanted to write “I’m”.

B) New words (like brand and place names) displace common words in the built-in wordlist - that is, T9 gets worse the more you use it.

It was still an OK digital minimalist/detox device - the GMaps web app with voice search was good enough.

The Android Go devices you mentioned sound far better – I’m never touching KaiOS again.
Probably not much because you can find long-lived populations that don't follow the administrative boundaries of pensions.

King County in Washington State, which contains the Seattle metro area, has a life expectancy of 86.3 years. This is higher than any country in the world. If you move one county south (Pierce), it is 75.7 years, slightly worse than the US average currently. Not surprisingly, there are many obvious factors that may contribute to this e.g. the obesity rate in Pierce County is 50% higher and the obesity rate in King County is roughly half the US obesity rate. The Seattle metro is a relatively walkable city and people do, Pierce County is not. As a matter of demographics, King County is significantly more Asian than Pierce County. And so on.

Both counties are geographically large and contain many municipalities. It is difficult to come up with a theory where pension fraud in King County is so high relative to Pierce County that it explains a >10 year difference in life expectancy.
Ask HN: Why hasn't Drupal benefited from WordPress's current issues?
Having used Drupal a long while back I would have thought that it would be the obvious answer as an alternative to WordPress if that time came.

However with the upheaval and issues that are occurring in the WordPress community at the moment, I have rarely seen anyone online recommend Drupal as an alternative to WordPress.

Both are PHP-based open source content management systems. Both have similar features (though with perhaps a different emphasis).

Why hasn't Drupal benefited, or even been recommended often, when discussing WordPress issues?

Does Drupal just lack the mindshare required to become a feasible alternative?
I am not sure if it is that popular these days. Couple of years ago it was pretty popular.

The "Splitting off Chrome or Android would break them" claim doesn't add up: DOJ isn't proposing that directly, and no, I don't take it as a given that this is the plan or somehow implied when DOJ cites default search in Chrome as a monopoly practice: there are any number of remedies one can imagine, and DOJ isn't specific about what they intend here. Because of course they aren't.

I'd love to see that, however. The browser is the single most important form of software that exists today. It's more important than operating systems. It's important enough that it would be generally better if people paid for browser licenses from developers that earned their money selling licenses, as opposed to ads.

Is that in scope or a likely outcome of this case? No. Not even close. So I don't expect much from any of this.

> Yet this gets repeated by the average person, that fats are the ultimate evil you must avoid.

I've been hearing this complaint (that the guidelines claim fat are the worst) for way too long, when in (my) reality, all the guidelines I've seen in the last 25 years has put more emphasis on carbs than on fats (i.e. too many carbs is evil).

I know "low fat" diets were the craze a long time ago. And sure, advertisers still like to slap "low/no fat" labels. But I believe the actual recommendation has been to lower carbs since around the 90's.

This is ultimately a strawman.

I saw more grossly obese people at that airport in the first ten minutes than I had back home in probably the previous year. It really stood out to me.

It must be your general dietary makeup and lifestyle. All that corn syrup. Also, I don't see any reason why it would have gotten better since then.

I’ve never done the ayahuasca ritual but I extracted and freebased DMT using acid-base extraction and the whiskey bottle method back when Mimosa hostilis root bark was easy to buy online, which did “change my life” (I was in high school so life changing insights weren’t hard to come by), but I absolutely hate the woo-woo that has grown around the drug.

DMT is by far the most intense known drug except maybe datura - especially when ingested like in the ayahuasca ritual - and could possibly lead to real insights into our psyche and social conditioning, but instead it’s a bunch of celebrities and influencers peddling drugs that promise people they people can talk to god.

The most common trip report describes people talking to aliens or god, which is just so damn fascinating. I saw my life “flash before my eyes” on my trip, which is one of the possible explanations for near-death experiences (I’m highly skeptical of the original research though). There’s just so much to research here and none of it is going to get done in a Brazilian jungle.

> At the end of the hike, she told me that the best way to deal with the problem of plastic accumulating at her center was to burn it in large, ceremonial heaps. The smell of the smoke, she said, clears her retreat of bad energy.

In my mind this practically proves that these “shamans” have no actual insight* and are just exploiting the demand (good for them). By some accident of fate, the tribes living in South America discovered that combining a tea with MAO inhibiters and a tea containing psychedelic alkaloids could lead to a crazy experience. That’s it.

They’ve got no more insight into the nature of the universe or god than the first person to discover nixtamalization and make a tortilla.

> I’ve done Ayahuasca several times, each ceremony fundamentally life-changing. In one ceremony, the shaman helped heal years of abuse. One led to my divorce. The penultimate ceremony convinced me to make this film, instead of using my savings to buy a house.

I don’t know anything about the author’s circumstances beyond these few sentences so I’m not one to judge especially given my own “life changing” experience, but this reads to me like a manic response brought on by intense psychedelics. It brings to mind Arctic Monkey’s guide to Burning Man decompression. The first rule is that you don’t make life changing decisions right after going to Burning Man. The high/glow fades, the consequences stay with you.

All that said, looking forward to watching the documentary when it comes out. Thank you for reading my nonsensical rant.

* I’m nonreligious and don’t believe in anything supernatural so I never thought they did, but burning plastic to clear negative energy is beyond stupid. When does burning plastic not produce noxious fumes that should immediately signal that something is wrong? Just dig a fracking hole and bury it.

My first language is English. It's not that I found the grammar is 'easy' in the sense of being simple, but rather that it is extremely regular, I'm not sure there are even _any_ irregular conjugations. Once you learn a pattern, it is easy to apply it, and because the language is agglutinative, you can really build a lot from some basic root words, which I find fascinating. Actually, when I then learned German, I was able to lean on all cases I learned in Turkish since we usually don't think in terms of genitive, accusative, and dative in English

No. If you fall above healthy, you are "overweight". You need a higher BMI to be classified as obese.
