You're right, you're not his caregiver, or obliged to be. Sorry if it sounded like I was suggesting that.

I doubt the staff would expect or pressure you to take responsibility for him. If anything you might have trouble getting them to even discuss his case with you - different states vary but in some cases they won't share case details without explicit permission from the patient. (If that sounds frustrating given your first hand experience of his symptoms and their progression - I sympathise.)

The support groups in particular may be useful despite that, just because you mentioned he's a housemate, so he may continue to be in your life. When I attended there were spouses, parents, but also just friends who wanted to help out their friend and understand what they were going through, without adopting responsibility for them.
It does! Unfortunately for me, I rented this one Ford Explorer where the car's GPS was off by a mile, so that was the opposite of helpful, and I didn't find a way to turn that off in the short time I had it.
With all due respect, we really ought to wait on things like this until at least February. While nuclear is likely to continue we must be aware that it's not fossil fuel and not guaranteed.
Google ingests almost the whole public web almost every day. I don't see any startup competing with them they might come out with a great algo or something but will need the infrastructure and huge investments to compete.

Even then after using Google Gemini subscription the last few months I think the problem is not Google search rather the web ecosystem as if google gives me most of the answers without having to click any link you and I might be happy but billion people living off those links directly or indirectly won't be happy.
The price is a function of regulations. It is self imposed, so a concerted effort here could reduce prices.

Also, economics are not equal to climate/carbon. If we want to reduce climate change only nuclear is the way to go - not solar/battery.

I don't think solar+battery is cost competitive if you were to replicate nuclear completely, but I've not looked at the numbers. Need to consider a nuclear plant may have a 60 year life whereas panels would be 20 at best and batteries probably less.
From an API design point of view, I would always encapsulate the logically mutable state in some type `Foo`, even if it doesn't literally own the memory, and then expose a safe API using `Mutex<Foo>`.

Idiomatically, you would then make `Foo::new_unchecked()` unsafe, with the precondition that nobody else is accessing the same external resource, and that `Foo::new_unchecked()` is only ever called once.
> Entries in one month's CSV file may be repeated in the previous or following month's CSV file

I am aware of this problem. The approach in the blog post definitely helps with that because the data is imported fresh every time again. So you could export your bank data with overlapping dates and do something like this prior to importing:

cat *.csv | sort | uniq >clean.csv
As a person who uses both, daily, its kinda true.

MacOS does seem to “use all the ram” but never falls over itself.

I think the kernel is likely genuinely better in low memory conditions (its hard to be worse than Linux here to be honest) - and thats combined with being aggressive about using as much of the ram as there is available opportunistically. (not fully unloading applications when closing them for example).

“WindowServer” uses 2-3G of ram, and electron apps use lots too; but truthfully my macbook is able to sustain significantly more open programs than my linux laptop, despite my linux laptop actually having more memory. (32G vs 24G for the Mac).

I cant explain it and I am genuinely curious how this is the case, but at least anecdotally, parent is more correct than not.
Trump is in favour of nuclear. You can easily find this on Google. The reason to be in favour of oil/gas is because it is a near term solution. Nuclear is a few years out at least.
They effectively wouldn't be ICs anymore if an important part of their job is to supervise
Plausible deniability probably. There is a chance that they would not be allowed to make parts of that code public if it relies on third party dependencies that may have stricter licensing. Even if the unknowns do not prove substantial, legal would likely tread carefully.
Yeah but. Why the USA? If I say "Russia invaded Ukraine", why do I always get the response "but the USA.." and now any one of many other countries that also invade. What is the connection? The USA has nothing to do with this.

No, let me explain to you what is actually going on. What's going on is that Russians have a chip on their should the size of Texas. A deep rooted sentiment of inferiority, that triggers every time you say something bad about their country, which they hate, and respond by attacking the country they admire but can't admit.

Without looking at polls, what do you think is the percentage of the Russian population that answered Yes to the question: if given the chance to move to the USA, would you? If you believe what you're saying, you probably think this is a very small number.
> Some utility companies bill every 2 or 3 months. This makes monthly stats meaningless (why is September so high compared to August? did I spent too much or is it the effect of the phone bill of the previous quarter?).

According to Claude 3.5, ledger/hledger handles that situation like this:

; Automatically allocate $60 quarterly phone bill across 3 months
~ monthly
Expenses:Phone $20
Liabilities:Accrued $-20

; When actual bill comes
2023-09-15 Phone Company
Liabilities:Accrued $60
Assets:Bank $-60

This approach:

1. Accrues monthly portions ($20) to a liability account

2. When the real bill arrives, clears the accrued amount
I think the Office of Nuclear Energy is trying to get in front of Musk shutting all these projects down and moving the green funding to solar and battery.
Does it still do that? I understand it had problems with asymetric hearing loss earlier.
+1 to this. Smaller datapoint from my side I guess, but anyway, docker is the core of my self hosting setup and it is one of the things that I don't have to fiddle with, it just works.
I don't think the bar is unreasonably higher for free software, I think the bar is unreasonably lower for Apple.

Apple has a few advantages that make this the case: a) they have really good marketing and b) they will always be compared against Google, Meta and Microsoft, which make their money from selling your data (either directly or through targeted advertising); whereas Apple makes their money from selling overpriced hardware.

But Apple is not pro-privacy, it is just less anti-privacy than other companies. And there are still people like me which would never use their products on principle.
It is now considered ethical not to notify users that there are important security updates?
Ah, the imperial CAR standard of 1999 - before we switched to the imperial SUV standard. Metric shall never win! Joke aside? DNA? Reconstructable?
Why can't anyone say what it is?
PMO never comes out of these debacles worse off, even if the project burned dozens of millions with 0% result. It is never their fault, there are plenty of scapegoats around, preferably smaller external contracters. The threathened lawsuits with the big contracters get settled and kept hush hush as neither party wants the bad press. Just the cost of doing business for them.

Most of the time project leads can stay with the company in another division as tension with the old IT crowd woul be a bit much, and even get promoted as they 'gained experience'.
That's nothing, use it to calculate the sum of range of values

say [+] 1..10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Which will result in you getting this back in a fraction of a second

50000000000000000000000000000000000000000005000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

(It actually cheats because that particular operator gets substituted for `sum` which knows how to calculate the sum of a Range object.)
What and how are most definitely not the same thing. They aren't necessarily even related:

If you tell people where to go, but not how to get there, you'll be amazed at the results.

As I recall, the scale was eight million dollars in one month.

I'm with you that a sleepy rural hotel can't handle that.

However, charging fraudulent expenses to the same sleepy rural hotel can't fix that problem. (It aggravates it!) The hotel can't spend more money than it has. And if you can make it look like the hotel has enough money to suit your needs, your job is already done. Fake expenses don't help.

After a long time spent on various dramas related to this initial problem, the show addresses it by having Marty found a casino, which seems plausible.
It's a pity that heuristics are not mentioned in most language books or dictionaries. At least I wasn't taught any in school (10+ years ago). This should be next to the word definition.
You can’t mention price without including the externalities and the total cost of ownership. Regulations attempt to price those.
Really like the

Don't <thing>

Why not?

When should you?

format of the Postgres Don't Do This page.
that's because the judge(s) and executioner(s) aren't engineers, and the jury is not of their peers. and for the record i have a hard time faulting the non-engineers above so-described... they are just grasping for things they can understand and have input on. who wouldn't want that? it's not at all reasonable for the keepers of the pursestrings to expect a certain amount of genuflection by way of self-justification. no one watches the watchers... but they're the ones watching, so may as well present them with a verisimilitudinous rendition of reality... right?

but, as a discipline, engineers manage to encourage the ascent of the least engineer-ly (or, perhaps, "hacker"-ly) among them ("us") ...-selves... through their sui generis combination of learned helplessness, willful ignorance, incorrigible myopia, innate naïvete, and cynical self-servitude that signify the Institutional (Software) Engineer. coddled more than any other specialty within "the enterprise", they manage to simultaneously underplay their hand with respect to True Leverage (read: "Power") and overplay their hand with respect to complices of superiority. i am ashamed and dismayed to recall the numerous times i have heard (and heard of) comments to the effect of "my time is too expensive for this meeting" in the workplace... every single one of which has come not from the managerial class-- as one might reasonably, if superficially, expect-- but from the software engineer rank and file.

to be clear: i don't think it's fair to expect high-minded idealism from anyone. but if you are looking for the archetypical "company person"... engineers need look no further than their fellow podmates / slack-room-mates / etc. and thus no one should be surprised to see the state of the world we all collectively hath wrought.
This sounds similar to what Allen Ward prescribes in using ambitious but flexible targets (the what) to pull work products from teams, rather than pushing tasks (the how) onto teams.

One thing Ward emphasises that I often see missing in these discussions is the responsibility of the puller to perform demand levelling. Don't try to pull more work products out of teams than they have the capacity for. Spread the work out (over time and over teams), so that teams can focus on executing against targets rather than being distracted by competing targets that need to be traded off against each other.
>The price is a function of regulations. It is self imposed, so a concerted effort here could reduce prices.

In other words, if you cut corners you can make nuclear cheap.
That would make sense, but I don't think it's ever mentioned.

It is specifically mentioned that Marty books expenses that he hasn't actually incurred, notionally buying things that he never receives, which will stand up to an audit much more poorly than "buying overpriced things from cartel-owned enterprises" would.
Australian realestate is notoriously broken.

Look at listings on realestate.com.au.

A lot of listings will have something on the lines of: images are representative of the property for advertising purposes only and may not reflect the property.

They use AI to do virtual touch ups/generate the images rather than use the real images to hide the mould and warts
Yeah... This is clearly, obviously, malicious.
* to the right
It is not directly related except by the fact that the dynamic is the same and that it is a repeat of the previous attempt.

There are 2 clear things that is so common in Europe:

Politics injecting a shit load of public money thinking that if you give the money you will be able to reproduce American company success and co.

In the end, the money is wasted for their own interest by big groups, intermediaries, and opportunists. When the thing fails, it is the fault of no one, it was just "too hard" and "maybe the money budget was not enough for such a subject"

This is totally different to what leads innovation like Google, where you have doers that create something first and when they are able to show or convince that they have breakthrough, money will flow in by itself.

And at the beginning cash is used for brain and development instead of giving big salaries to top management and political friends.

The second thing that is usual is the pattern with this kind of projects:

- corporate sucks all the money

- responsibility is shared between multiple actors to spread the blame in case of problem.

- project fail and corporate give up. "Not their fault"

- one year later the initial hype subject is back on the table (European search engine sovereignty for ex) and politics announce that they will spend that much more money to resolve it

- same corporate vampires starts again from zero...

- and it fails the same in a loop
Really neat idea! However, half of the world has Monday as the first day of the week. A setting to change that would be nice :)

Also there are some holidays missing for Sweden. This is stated in the Swedish Annual Leave Act, which establishes that Midsummer's Eve as well as Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve is to be considered equivalent to a Sunday.

Just tried installing it on my commute in London. Didn't work - in fact it thought I was at the stop before the one I got on at (when I did have GPS) even when I was 5 or 6 stations further along on my journey. Then it spent the whole rest of the journey spamming me with notifications about the next departure time at the station I didn't get on at.

Wildly inaccurate even with GPS it seems.

Instant uninstall. Sorry.
The storage is easily upgradable on the new Mac mini as it’s using a standard M2 SSD (a short version)

Debian has had telemetry for years, but it's opt-in, so lots of people don't know about it. I think the installer may ask?

Install "popularity-contest" if you want to turn it on.
I do it the other way round, so in production you just have to use `docker compose up`. I did not understand the `compose.yaml:compose.prod.yaml` syntax or never saw it. What does this do?
It is indeed amazing. Like, the death of Cleopatra in 69 BC is closer to our present day than it is to the building of the great pyramid of Khufu (~2600 BC).
> I don't think solar+battery is cost competitive if you were to replicate nuclear completely, but I've not looked at the numbers.

Why are you commenting then? This is a complex, deeply researched topic. It's contentious enough already, no need to add more noise.

"Looking at the numbers" is literally the one thing one needs to do in order to be able to add to this discussion.
Right. But the problem is that with an 'if let', it also locks for the 'else', which is not intuitive or expected.

The problem is that the syntax of 'if let' makes the programmer assume a particular scoping, but its desugaring implies something else.
Hah that reminds me of the way of a supermarket chain to shill rebates.

Turbo button not pressed, run at lower speed than rated

Turbo button pressed, run at rated speed

No rebate, sell at a huge margin

Rebate, sell at a minimum margin
It is worth investing a little more on nuclear in the interest of energy security. It isn't always a race to the bottom.

A diverse and robust energy grid is composed of various generation sources that differ in capacity factors, environmental impact, stability, availability, etc.
Yeah, the good version of 3-D Secure does exist in the US, but it’s rare as you say. If the vast majority of US cards don’t have it, including many from major issuers, then the problem isn’t really solved for merchants (in any country!) who accept US cards.
It’s so disheartening to go forwards and then backwards like this every four years. How can anything ever be accomplished?
what do you mean by near term solution? aren't solar and wind the cheapest form of electricity?
It doesn't make sense to focus on gas anymore, unless they are trying to extract as much money as possible before it's over.
"certain kind" of discipline, indeed... not the good kind. and while your comment goes to great pains to highlight how that particular God is dead (and i agree, for the record), the God of Quality (the one that Pirsig goes to great lengths to not really define) toward which the engineer's heart of heart prays that lives within us all is... unimpressed, to say the least.
Sounds more like a skill issue. I am quite glad with traeffik and docker-compose. But I don't have that high loads or interactions on my servers
or installing software to jiggle the mouse every so often so that the computer with the spreadsheet that runs the company doesn't go to sleep
Thinking of good recipe format I think there are quite a many things that could or maybe should be included. Like ratios, maybe minimum and maximum scaling. Portition size, both as main meal or as side. And then total use of ingredient if used in multiple steps.
It's the lack of a "modern" paged memory management unit that's the main issue for mainline Linux on a 286 AFAIK. Nobody wants to deal with x86 segmented memory, having a nice flat addressing paged mode is one of the big wins of the 386. Although I believe Linux dropped support for 386 (and 486?) a while back so they could remove some special cases for such old chips.
Data collection like what?

It is still much less data, and does not allow them to identify you AFAIK. Even if they go with opt-in (not yet decided - it seems to be being debated and thy are asking for feedback) it is still far better than proprietary OSes.
"worked"

(not that i don't get the sarcasm)
just tried it, love the playfulness!
Maybe I'm an outlier but the better you describe what you're collecting the more I will trust you that it's just that. Not "Hey I want to collect and send stuff to improve whatever" (that could be a keylogger, or in the case of an editor it could be a list of the files in my top-secret project, if I was paranoid) but if you linked a document describing what exactly you send (or like the Valve hardware survey, a textbox with exactly the content I can skim..) fine!

I know this is an unreasonable amount of work and most non-devs would not react differently or have a higher conversion rate.. but that's the type of reports I have given to various open source projects, because explaining it in detail and then sending different stuff I do not agree with is a kind of maliciousness I don't usually expect, except from content marketers and growth hackers.
It depends on how you regulate the market. Part of the reason solar is still expensive on the market in Europe is because of regulations. To counter this to not kill growth you have various forms of economic incentives like tariffs for solar where the various government’s subsidies make up for the regulation. It’s to keep the fossil and nuclear energy market in Europe sustainable. Since we still heavily rely on these sources when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing.

The battery industry is expected to grow a maddening percentage in the coming decade. Germany moving their renewable goal from 60-80% by (I’m not sure about the year but I think it’s 2030), alone increased the expected economic growth for supplying battery storage by 800%. There is nowhere near enough storage to make nuclear and fossil fuels obsolete yet however. Especially not if we also increase the EV market share.

Solar isn’t optimal in very hot regions, however, as the efficiency goes down 0.3-0.5% in efficiency for every degree Celsius above 0 degrees Celsius. So in some regions nuclear is going to be a good option. I’m not personally a fan of nuclear because its safety depends on governments being willing to regulate the safety, but there is no denying that it’s still a much, much, better alternative to fossil fuels as far as delivering power on demand.

This is how it looks in Europe. I have no idea how it looks in the US.
The problem is that in the 'if let' case, the 'else' block has no access to the read guard. It's out of scope, except that the compiler hasn't dropped it yet.
Why would generics not work with AOT?
Whether it is commercial or open source the solution has always been to explain to the user and ask informed consent. No one is so busy or so stupid that they cannot read a small para of text (possibly linking to a detailed document if they're so interested) and press one of two/three choices at some point during system setup or usage. Of course these permission prompts tend to grow out of hand as we can see from commercial operating systems but this is something Linux distributions can do better since nearly all software just want usage data and not user data like their commercial counterparts do.
"Savant" is an iffy word choice I'd agree, but lots of programmers tend to take instructions very literally. Strict logical thinking is part of the job, and most low and mid level managers are (or recently were) also programmers.

When people are giving me instructions that seem overly detailed to me, I usually assume they have a reason for giving those details because otherwise they would have left it up to me. If I disagree with some design choice or don't understand I'll usually challenge it or ask for that reasoning, but I don't always have time or energy to challenge every last thing. Nothing is more frustrating to me than when I ask for the reasoning and they can't (or won't) explain any motivation behind it. That goes both for my superiors and for my peers during architectural discussions and things like that.

And of course, there's a very high rate of autism in software engineering. Autistic people tend to take things more literally than most.
Why did you now wait for they to decide on whether it would be opt-in or opt-out? In the meantime did you vote on the poll in the forums? https://forum.manjaro.org/t/mdd-opt-in-vs-opt-out/170462
650$-€ for 16GB and 256GB? No. Hell no.
this sounds more like citing chapter and verse in an exegesis than anything of direct relevance to the Mortal Plane...
Maybe ten years ago, I read a blog post by, I think, a French company called snips, that explained how their app used the pressure sensor to detect when the train entered or leaved a station. It turned out there was a very clear signal due to the sudden pressure increase or decrease when the train entered or left the tunnel between the stations.

Edit: found it. https://medium.com/snips-ai/underground-location-tracking-3e...
Also the difference is that the word telemetry in a context of user metrics has been burned, the popcon a) already has it in its name and b) is open source and c) has info written about how it will send what packages you install and not random weird stuff.
No, it's being treated as a breaking change, which it is. It is not a backwards-compatible bug fix.

You are correct that there is no concrete spec for the Rust language; the current state of the compiler and stdlib is the "spec". So this is a breaking change to the "spec", and requires a new edition.
So nuclear will stay roughly were it is as a fraction of total electricity production?
