> urban grids..

There are regions where the grid and the plants powering that are separate from the maingrid. (West-)Germany was like that, still is. For historical reasons, like different frequency of 16 2/3Hz. It's called 'Bahnstrom'.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnstrom

Same applies to Austria and the Swiss. (D-A-CH)

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_Bahnstromanlagen_in_...

The former (East-)Germany did it different, while needing the same frequency.

They used something like this, decentrally https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnstrom#/media/Datei:DR_Umfo... to convert from the 50Hz maingrid to 16 2/3Hz, where they had no coverage from the 'Bahnstrom-'grid.

If your'e wondering wtf!? 16 2/3Hz at all, that was because at the time of early electrification with AC (less transmission loss over longer distances), that frequency produced less sparks/arcing with the then available electro-motors for that single phase of AC, RPM, lack of advanced (mobile(power))electronics, and so on. Legacy...

DC had different trade-offs.

Since you wrote freight-trains, which isn't light-rail, which also had its own power-plants and grids, and mostly still has?
The inflation calculation is the one that doesn't get the inflation correctly into account. That's because it always have errors, and those errors grow more than linearly with the inflation rate.
Do a Web search for "4Chan CAPTCHA" sometime. All the top results will likely be people complaining about how terrible it is. You're certainly not alone.

Ok sure - Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, this happens. Can’t speak for elsewhere.

You have to ensure the contract of sale specifically includes things like wiring, the boiler, the radiators, flooring, light fittings and switches, because if they aren’t explicitly included, they aren’t included. There are some very odd definitions of chattels vs fixtures out there - in France, it has to be nailed to the structure to count as a fixture. If it’s screwed, glued, or otherwise not nailed down, it’s a chattel.
That whole system looks like what we install on police patrol cars. Left switch allows you to keep car running even when keys are removed (but you can’t drive it will kill the ignition).

GPS is for obvious reasons tracking. But these don’t look like patrol cars so it’s out of my wheel house.
Going by Hologram's public pricing, a GNSS "heartbeat" per-minute would cost $4/month on a PAYG model. With tiered contract pricing, I'd expect that to drop to $1/month for a mid/large-sized telematics organisation.

> After the death of President Paul von Hindenburg on 2 August 1934, Adolf Hitler assumed the office of President of Germany, and thus became commander in chief. In February 1934, the Defence Minister Werner von Blomberg, acting on his own initiative, had all of the Jews serving in the Reichswehr given an automatic and immediate dishonorable discharge.[33] Again, on his own initiative Blomberg had the armed forces adopt Nazi symbols into their uniforms in May 1934.[34] In August of the same year, on Blomberg's initiative and that of the Ministeramt chief General Walther von Reichenau, the entire military took the Hitler oath, an oath of personal loyalty to Hitler.

The German army adopted Nazi symbols and swore an oath to hitler.

Only one way to read it. The German army adopted Nazi symbols and swore an oath to hitler.

In my recent experience, this dependency hell is quite specific to scientific / ML python.

The general state of ML code is abysmal, as it attracts a lot of inexperienced developers, and Python's duck/relaxed typing spirit makes it easy to write incomprehensible code with megabytes of unnecessary or bloated dependencies.

It's not bad per se, the amount of innovation is impressive, but a lot of it is a castle of cards, from low level libraries to end-user software.

This article is confusing two different things: "unbuffered" vs "line-buffered".

Unbuffered will gratuitously give you worse performance, and can create incorrect output if multiple sources are writing to the same pipe. (sufficiently-long lines will intermingle anyway, but most real-world output lines are less than 4096 bytes, even including formatting/control characters and characters from supplementary planes)

Line-buffering is the default for terminals, and usually what you want for pipes. Run each command under `stdbuf -oL -eL` to get this. The rare programs that want to do in-line updates already have to do manual flushing so will work correctly here too.

You can see what `stdbuf` is actually doing by running:

env -i `command -v stdbuf` -oL -eL `command -v env`

The war in Afghanistan was already slated to end but Biden screwed up the withdrawal leaving the Taliban with about $80 billion in high-tech weapons. He also got us into something even worse in Ukraine and supports a bunch of war in the Middle East. Is this all his fault? I don't think he is the one making decisions. But he certainly hasn't been an anti-war president. He wasn't suddenly elected because of Afghanistan either after 20 years of our involvement. He was mostly elected because people expected he would end covid lockdowns or somehow end the pandemic, and things only got worse under his leadership.

There were far fewer planes in the air before GPS. In order to squeeze more planes into the same volume of air (aka "airspace density" or "airspace efficiency") you require high performance navigation systems. GPS isn't just used for navigation (getting from point A to point B), it's also for helping maintain separation between planes.

These organizations employed too many people of relatively mediocre ability relative to output, leading to waste and eventual disbandment. Today's private sector companies in FAMNG+ are making bigger breakthroughs in AI, apps, self-driving cars, etc. with fewer people relative to population and more profits. This is due to more selective hiring and performance metrics. Yeah those people form the 60s were smart, but today's STEM whiz kids are probably lapping them.

I've got something similar on a car I bought that was previously leased. I didn't notice it while doing the test drive, but it was almost certainly there the whole time. One day, I'll try to remove it, but afaik, it doesn't do much other than sit there. Maybe it drains the battery a bit, but I think the OEM modem was probably worse... I removed that recently because I was doing work that got me halfway to removal anyway.

> I sometimes would hit walls, because in real world software, you need persistent state. Functional software, for obvious reasons, fights against that, and so modeling state is actually quite difficult.

I haven't felt this, Clojure has good primitives for dealing with state, both temporary and more permanent. The biggest difference from (most) mainstream languages is that it's very explicit what has state and where you're mutating it. But personally I feel like that makes it easier to manage complicated state relationships, rather than harder, since it's typically isolated in smaller parts.

Looking at the build configuration code:

One thing to note:

Engagement will always be better on new platforms, because they a) have no bots and b) haven't been growth hacked to death, since the strategies that work haven't been figured out yet.

These start at 0, then increase. When both of those trends grow strong enough, people start to leave in droves.

I know I did. On X, I used it a lot, then left when the bad algo content era began. On Insta, the engagement bait was bad enough when I joined that it deterred me from ever seriously using it.

I would expect these to become more of a problem over time, though I'm optimistic Bluesky can do better at beating them than other platforms have.

And of course, ideally I don't want to do much scrolling at all, I would prefer stable pagination for basically everything.
I’m going to go against the flow and say nothing. I think the primary reason you see seniors looking for senior focused platforms is because almost all the learning content is terrible. Seniors will spot this sooner than juniors. I’ve worked as an external examiner for CS students for a decade and the stuff they put themselves through to avoid reading official docs is amazing. They’ll literally sit through 50 hours of video of what is essentially two a4 pages of “example how-to”.

Why a senior wouldn’t just head directly to the documentation for a programming language or the equivalent to “The C++ Programming Language” is a different question though. Learning a new language is extremely easy, it’s learning how the compiler, runtime and so on which is hard. You’ll very rarely find that outside of official docs or books written by extremely knowledgeable people.

Vast number of people use Facebook, but when did you last hear about anything happening on Facebook? I think Twitter has lost cultural capital faster than it has lost actual users; there are still a bunch of people there (or were til the last couple of months, anyway; there really does seem to be a sea-change now and the above study, going up to May, won’t capture it), but it’s a lot less culturally important.
I had a similar situation with an (active) alarm and monitoring system in the last house I purchased. One of the first things I did was clip the wires, remove everything and throw it in the trash with a few other things the previous owner had left behind. You are under no obligation to store or keep active property abandoned after a sale (at least here in the US).
With the advent of Amazon/online shopping. I find there’s a very short “I need X to fix Y problem -> order X on my phone -> Y will be solved Wednesday -> resume my current task”. I don’t feel like my being controlled by the Consumerism Phantom because I ordered some new towels and air fresheners.

I tend not to go to the store otherwise except for food shopping which is ideally ALDI and a company I actually enjoy patronizing.
Wouldn't the Twitter account be likely much older, and therefore have many stale/dead followers?
In France it’s only counted as abandoned if it is more than 30 years. These guys rocked up at something like 29 years and 9 months, and because there had been a verbal agreement that they would one day collect, and my mother allowed it, she was deemed to have stolen property she was entrusted to store.

She was actually lucky to avoid criminal charges.
No kidding. the vast majority of those 50 million of twitter followers are going to be bots. This is true of all those big old famous accounts such as Obama, Taylor Swift and so on. What about actual traffic? How much clickthroughs does a Twitter link produce vs. Blue Sky? It says 3x Threads, but obviously threads is much smaller than X.
For anyone looking for a good alternative to Toxic Twitter/X, I can't recommend BlueSky enough.

I signed up and it's a breath of fresh air without the artificially promoted toxic posts showing up in my feed.
Maybe. But at the time mastodon had a massive influx after the X acquisition and it never felt this alive. threads is massive and I don’t manage to get any engagement there either.
