70% of France’s energy comes from nuclear and it’s all 0 carbon.

Maybe “leading the way” was not the right phrase WRT building, but they are an example of how nuclear energy can provide for an entire country with a relatively low number of plants. If we were actually allowed to build things like this in America we could do the same thing for very cheap and new reactor designs could be basically foolproof WRT safety.

Yes, it means good margins. It also means Apple clearly hates their customers by giving them hilariously under-provisioned hardware for doing anything. If their customers ever grew a spine, they'd make it hurt apples pocket book.
Good callout — it's the animation rate for your browser, which is driven by your display and conditions on your machine (I've seen between 30-120Hz on my Macbook depending on the monitor used and device power status).

Growth will handle that for a while, so I don't think enshittification will start just yet. But eventually it will go the same way as all the rest.
Companies die because nobody is willing to work on the code anymore.

If VCs ever came to expect less than 90% of their investments to essentially go to zero, maybe that would change. But they make enough money off of dumb luck not leading to fatal irreversible decisions often enough to keep them fat and happy.

Why can't professors set LA as a prereq for their courses?

I feel like they're conflating "rave" with "clubbing."

Friday, Saturday club attendance has been dropping across the world, and many electronic music focused club venues have shut down (at least in Australia and the UK).

My word association of "rave" is "festival" though. Festivals feel like they're still booming, or at least not in dramatic decline.

From a small personal sampling: Coachella, Portola, Outside Lands, Proper, Lightning in a Bottle, festivals are still going strong. For some (Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle) attendance felt like it dropped 2023 -> 2024, but perhaps 10-20%, and this is likely economically correlated (inflation, etc). Late 2024- festivals (Portola, Proper) were packed.
DKIM records are just DNS TXT records. Do they have a limit on the size of TXT records? Or are they going out of their way to try to parse the TXT records you're adding that look like DKIM records, failing on them, and then refusing to add them?
I must do something about my short-term memory/attention. I must have read that and promptly blanked it during the scanning of the rest of the article.
I already avoid multiplayer games. It's very rare for me to make an exception.

I came here to warn others about these concerns and to cite virtualization with VFIO as a viable solution. I think people should understand what sort of nonsense they're bringing into their computers when they install these games. That's what my original post was about.

I didn't mean to start another one of these discussions. We shouldn't have to justify ourselves. They're the ones barging in and usurping control of our computers because of "cheating" or whatever. You install some video game and next thing you know you've got some malware exfiltrating private information, taking screenshots, scanning your RAM and disks, making an issue of your developer tools. That's unacceptable behavior, the reason for it is irrelevant.
It used to be actually easy to run Python — and Perl, REXX, Tcl, Ruby, and a bunch of other languages — with WSH in MSIE. Those were, in that small way, good times.
Does anybody argue that Google is negligent for not doing a complete rewrite of Blink, rather than doing the same incremental software development as everyone else? Did they suffer from their choice to use WebKit in the very beginning rather than do their own thing?
I actually enjoy the music without taking any drugs, but my default state is quite hyperactive. The loud bass, the energy of the crowd, the people feeling comfortable and enjoying themselves makes me feel energized and allows me to relax and dance in an enjoyable anonymity. To your point, when I was photographing concerts (&clubs/raves) regularly I did quickly realize I'm an outlier, and most people and performers were in fact consuming copious amounts of drugs... The least enjoyable events were those where everybody was escaping something - consuming drugs, over-drinking alcohol, destroying property – while the best events had a tight-knit community, proper security, pop-up drug labs ( https://drugfoundation.org.nz/articles/checkit-out ) and most importantly a mature audience.
I'm curious what additional sources or references you would like to see added.

All you have to do is look at a map of where public lands are to see this idea (of opening public lands for housing) will not work. It's in the middle of nowhere, not where the jobs are

Limit coffee-drinking to this time window to lower early death risk
> The article also mentions that earlier ending events made to accommodate aging millennials have seen an unexpected and huge interest from Gen Z

I do not find it surprising. When I was younger (college age and soon after), I wanted events to start sooner and late events oftentimes discouraged me. It sucked even at that age. It is one thing to start dancing at 8pm and have endurance till the early morning, because you feel like it and have nothing to do the next day. And something completely different if you have to wait till 1am till the event starts. You get tired and dumber the next day, but the amount of dancing you got in exchange is just lower.

I was not using stimulants or anything like that and frankly, dropping amount of stimulants use among young people would explain larger younger crowd at earlier events.
Have you tried 360nm LED? The higher orbitals drop faster or so I've been told.
Just don't implement SR debouncer, OK? And don't use MC140* series chips, those don't work with 3.3V used by modern micros. And when he says:

> Never run the cap directly to the input on a microprocessor, or to pretty much any I/O device. Few of these have any input hysteresis.

that's not true today, most small MCU made in 2005 or later (such as AVR and STM8 series) have input hysteresis, so feel free to connect cap directly to it.

And when he says:

> don't tie undebounced switches, even if Schmitt Triggered, to interrupt inputs on the CPU

that's also not correct for most modern CPUs, they no longer have a dedicated interrupt line, and interrupts share hardware (including synchronizer) with GPIO. So feel free to tie undebounced switch to interrupt lines.
> "I'm convinced it would have been cheaper to just clean that code up in place"

Generally agreed. I'm generally very bearish on large-scale rewrites for this reason + political/managerial reasons.

The trick with any organization that wants to remain employed is demonstrating progress. "Go away for 3 years while we completely overhaul this." is a recipe for getting shut down halfway through and reassigned... or worse.

A rewrite, however necessarily, must always be structured as multiple individual replacements, each one delivering a tangible benefit to the company. The only way to stay alive in a long-term project is to get on a cadence of delivering visible benefit.

Importantly doing this also improves your odds of the rewrite going well - forcing yourself to productionize parts of the rewrite at a a time validates that you're on the right track.
The UAE is a microcosm and not representative of general trends imo.
Your comment about primary/high school is incorrect from my point of view. It's only evaluating that time on it being practical for your work (or CS study).

There's a lot of value on learning about Geography, History, Biology, the sciences, the social aspect of learning and going to a school and so on. It's hard to observe it after you have done it.

It can be possible you feel like you don't remember much, or don't find it useful, but in that scenario, I assume you'd easily be manipulated as you'd have very shallow knowledge about how the world works, despite perhaps having learned "30% more CS" because you just had less high school if it didn't exist.

Of course, there are improvements that could be made to the curriculum of schools, but I believe it's the most important learning lessons that set us up for life is there.
I will sadly admit that the high price of fries only angers me when they're not fresh.
In the historical expansions of the US, there was often a sizeable delay in annexing a new territory and granting even the white males in those territories (not even considering women or natives or blacks) suffrage. In Alaska the delay was almost 100 years, in Hawaii it was more than 50 years, and in the Louisiana purchase the delay varied but was at least 9 years.

So there is a chance that if there is annexation, I, as a Canadian citizen, may not live long enough to vote in a US election.
> people like me who are finally being honest with themselves and acknowledging that they don't actually enjoy the entire club scene.

What was it that was keeping you from being honest with yourself about that? I figured out pretty quickly that the whole club/dance/nightlife scene was just not compatible with my particular personality and haven't had any trouble simply avoiding it.
>The logical endgame of that approach is to have a big tug-of-war between two big coalitions

...why just two? He specifically mentioned advocating for ranked choice voting, which would make it a tug-of-war between N coalitions, and would lead to better outcomes that our current broken two-party system.
Second vacation homes (plus Airbnb) become a problem for locals of that area. The young ones can't survive there and eventually have to rent (or provided as comp package) from established businesses (B&B/hotel).

BTW, on the subject of batteries being too expensive it might be an interesting experiment to see how far you'd get using a common full sine wave UPS with a number of external batteries. Charge the external batteries using the inverter, pull power out of the UPS. Expenditure would consists of a UPS - you'll find these on auction sites, often without or with expired battery packs - and a number of batteries. A reasonably-sized UPS which can deliver a kilowatt or more often uses 24/48/72 volt battery packs, i.e. 2 to 6 lead-acid batteries in series. If you have a way of getting these for a reasonable price it may be worth experimenting with if you're the experimenting type (I am).

Our inverter is built for high-voltage batteries (120V to 580V) so I'm aiming for either using expired EV batteries or - once prices go down more - LiFePO4 battery stacks. As it stands prices are still too high which - calculated over the life span of the batteries combined with compound interest on the investment - makes power from such batteries cost around the same as power taken from the 'net. Battery prices are steadily going down so this situation should change, hopefully within 3 years they'll have gone down so far as to make it a worthwhile investment.

Do you like all your Capital fleeing to other countries? Because that's how you enrich Canada, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Lichenstein, etc at the USA's expense.
Yeah, that's the unfortunate part, the spaces are never comfortable and certainly unappealing to a lot of people.

For me personally, I've always found it kinda funny how much I love those spaces. I generally have a strong dislike of crowds, large masses of people, yadda yadda. My primary happy places are at home all cozy with my family, and out in the mountains backpacking in the wilderness far away from a single soul.

But my third happy place is something akin to a dilapidated warehouse or building that is being used as an unlicensed venue for incredibly loud, repetitive music. The room is packed, with just enough room for cutting a rug, there's sweat on the walls, it's pitch dark save for a single red light over the DJ booth and there's not a snowball's chance in hell that you'll be able to chat with the person next to you. You're stepping in something wet and sticky, who the fuck knows what's on your shoes.

Get the music just right and I'll lose myself in that crowd and cathartically dance my ass off all night long.

Edit: I think part of it is that I've always found the existence of such underground spaces to be super cool. I like to experience things like that that are just below the surface of "normal society".
They did this in the UK. A quick lookup says that a home that is vacant for over 1 year could be taxed 4x

Additionally, since 2004, there’s a law that allows local authorities to take over empty homes and sell them, to make sure they are used for housing

Not sure what the effects have been of either
First, I didn't dismiss their "no AI policy" nor did I use snarky comments. I was asking a legitimate question - which is - most orgs have their code stored on another server out of their control, so what's the legitimate business issue if your code gets leaked? I still haven't gotten an answer.
The methodology is to take a hot city like Shanghai or Beijing, and count the number of windows lit up at night on a standard 30 story concrete apartment building. You'll find something like 25% of the units never light up. Now, those are in cities where people want to live, it is much worse in lower tier cities and new districts without services or jobs of lower tier cities.

Property taxes in the US mean you can't speculate so easily on property (you lose ~1% value a year). But they have 99 year leases instead, but everyone thinks the government will let you renew those with minimal fees.
For a lot of the ways I see friends and family use Mac products, 256gb is often good enough.

I'd argue for people that care about storage space the default acts as a price anchor.
So at 2040 we might be able to render at top 2025 display specs.

Makes you wonder how far ahead displays will be in 2040. I can imagine display prices falling in price and increasing in quality to the point where many homes just have displays paneled around the walls instead of paint.

That's probably not going to be an option for me as I wanted to upgrade to something with 16 GB of vram. I do toy with running LLM inference and squeezing models to fit in 8 GB vram is painful. Since the 5070 non-ti has 12 GB of vram there is no hope that a 5060 would have more vram than that. So, at a minimum I'm stuck with the prospect of upgrading to a 5070 ti.

That's not the end of the world for me if I move to a 5070 ti and you are quite correct that I can downclock/undervolt to keep a handle on power consumption. The price makes it a bit of a hard pill to swallow though.
Adding to this, the ski lifts seem to me designed to attract the speed demons with downhill bikes designed for thrills. Not casual exploring and sight seeing from a bike.

To this point, are there any free/cheap apps/browser apps that clone simple/older/well known synths you'd (or others here) would recommend for skilling up a bit? Doesn't need to be anywhere near pro quality sound-wise, not what I'm after.

A million years ago I had some analogue korg model and have been interested in playing around again. But I know myself well enough to know that my interest may very well be fleeting and I don't want to invest much in the way of $$ to go that route.

Basically it handles downloading & configuration of games from some non-Steam providers (e.g. GOG, Epic), and adds them to Steam, so you can launch them like they are Steam games.

It's not quite as polished, but it works.
> Perhaps in part because they feel, deep down, that an Excel sheet is superior

In my experience these folks are the exception rather than the rule. To recognize when, and when not, to use Excel vs. buying/building/subscribing to specialized software, takes a certain kind of real-world experience as a user and/or stakeholder that many engineers surprisingly lack, even long into their career.

Growing up in Norway, picking strawberries was always a typical summer job for teens. You'd get bussed to the field, be crouched down all day under scorching heat, and...well, it sucked. Just sucked. And the pay was piss poor.

Pretty much any summer job would pay more, and in the end less and less teens decided to pick strawberries. Farmers complained, and then started flying inn south-east Asian rice farmers to pick berries instead. Relative to their pay back home, picking berries in Norway was a pretty sweet deal. Many still go there annually to pick during berry season.

They live cramped in a cottage, and work all day. If it's a good season, they make good money. If it's a bad season, they break even. Unfortunately there are some pretty scummy farmers that will exploit the situation. Here's a short docu following Thai pickers in Sweden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW1QWG3xSNg
Oh wow. This would have been incredibly useful to have found when I was writing my own implicit-surface drawer. My approach is similar in some ways (interval arithmetic), and different in others (not as optimized, I directly produce GLSL for a fragment shader).

Honestly I'm tempted to just toss everything away and replace it with (a reimplementation of) this. Dunno if I should be happy or sad about that.

Yes, 100%. Being immobile is bad, whether you're standing, sitting, or lying down. (Too much strain from movement is bad too, hence RSI for many of us.)

I really enjoy having the flexibility/option of standing or sitting, and IMO a standing desk is one of those purchases that has a 10x payback.
Most people should be doing at least some baseline level of both strength training AND cardio. Working around whatever injuries or anatomical issues they have. There's nothing wrong with treadmills.
