As someone who has healed from some weird conditions by doing what you suggest (specially diet), I would be cautious about implying that everyone else is on the same path. Some people may have excellent diets and sleep schedules but still suffer from migraines or other debilitating conditions.

While I agree that lifestyle factors are often overlooked, especially in the West where we tend to medicalize every symptom, sometimes the root cause of the issue remains unknown. Suggesting that it's always due to something like not following a proper diet can be harmful.
Ehm, you should be fair and not fudge the numbers in your favor. :-)

Start both with the same (current) % for renewables and
(1) have some realistic ramp-up of renewables to reach 98%, and
(2) keep the renewables more modestly rising in the fission version, while fading-out fossils in favor of fission

You should also account the carbon foodprint of grid-level energy storage (yes, it will be needed, even with the natural gas plans), vs the foodprint for fission plants (undoubtedly quite bad).
Wouldn't that failure mode be most equivalent to something like a bad blocks failure on a hard drive?

Both can have random ~controller electronics failures, and I think the SSD is often designed to be impossible to recover in that situation with a replacement controller or other electronics.

> I urge you to read the news

I do follow the news but probably not only the 'news' you're referring to assuming you mean the legacy media. The Atlantic is not what I call news but agitprop, a vehicle for agitational propaganda aimed at driving a narrative. If that is 'the news' you are referring to I understand why you are so agitated and I'd advice you to broaden your horizon beyond these types of sources. Look at the entire spectrum of 'news' organisations from Breitbart/Daily Wire/Daily Caller to WaPo/NYT/The Atlantic/The New Yorker/HuffPo/etc and whatever lies in between to get a more complete view, don't let yourself be used as a tool and keep an open mind for a different view - not so open that your brains fall out but open enough to avoid being duped by the likes of The Atlantic.
>Introducing the Unbrickable Pledge.
> ... intent to release ... if and when we ever become insolvent as a company.

First, it's an intent, not a promise. Second, if you are acquired or product sold, then no such promises/intent mean anything anymore. Calling it the "Unbrickable Pledge" sounds like a bit of an overstatement.
> I personally hate that the plastics industry has managed to greenwash and convince people of it being a "healthier better option" because of the Vegan label, while slowly suffocating and killing us all.

Plastics are, generally, _absolutely_ a cleaner option than leather. Leather tanning is a horrendously dirty industrial process, and particularly difficult to make clean. I mention it in another comment, but it's one of these industrial processes which is being wholesale evicted from the developed world, and may start to have serious issues in China too as China gets more serious on air and water pollution.

Productivity is a very vague concept, which can't be measured easily in most cases. So it's also hard to justify a steep price. And it's not like there is no competition here. Visualizations aside, this IDE seems very generic and basic in what it offers. So chances are good that you would still use a better tool, to not lose productivity in other areas.

And most important, if you stop paying, you will lose the gain from it. If dev screws up at some point, you might lose the gain from it. It's not really clear how updates are working. Are you forced to always use the newest version? Or can you stay at a specific version for all time? This uncertain factors and other, demand that the gain from a subscription is so immense, that you are willing to take the risk. And this tool here is not there yet, maybe never will; making it hard to justify a sub.

> Absurd is people paying 80$+/month for yt tv so they can watch ads..

Youtube is an external service. You are paying for their running costs, which you create. This IDE is local, and there is no guarantee which updates will come and which benefits they will have for you. So there is no "running cost" you create for them.
> happens to be much more environmentally friendly to make

This would not be difficult; leather production is an extremely dirty process.
> Eh, right. The "far right" seem to appropriate every other thing these days. I can't keep up.

Is it really appropriating anything, though, in this case? Seems this is more people ascribing the expression to a particular political camp in order to taint T'so by association with said camp.

(Sorry, if you were being ironic or sarcastic in your wording, I failed to pick it up.)
No need for the second !: !foo != !bar
It's kinda understandable. I've seen "Java coders" write Python for example.

The first thing they do is create a class and maybe even a Factory or Interface.

You can see instantly where their experience is from and it's hard to unlearn.
I really hate that the industry managed to pull off the pleather to "vegan leather" rebranding.

Everyone back in the day was clearly aware that pleather meant it was gonna be some shitty inferior product. While the exact same stuff called "vegan leather" manages to be marketed as a premium product and successfully tricks people.

We are starting to pay the price for basic entry level cars that was what a luxury car went for just a decade ago. Yet somehow the materials the car is made out of is universally worse.
What is it about TDS that causes those affected to insert this topic into every unrelated discussion?
I tried a bunch of different ways. It wasn’t the prompt or input format.
There wouldn't be any advantage to adding a boolean exclusive or operator, unlike with || and &&.
16 bit relative pointers are about as useful/terrible as 16 bit indices.
The big change is cultural. The places I've seen using .NET felt like cults to me, a monoculture were everyone must run windows, swearing by how powershell is the shell of the gods, ms sql being the only true data store that's the best solution for 100% of every use cases, azure being the best cloud provider, and everyone forced to use vs code because of all its fancy integration with even the pm tools.
I had the same issue with linux, I am using PcManFM but frankly it's not as good as explorer. I very much prefer the old explorer that drew the tree and branches. None of file managers I tried had this basic functionality.
It is. Samatha is often contrasted with vipassana in the Buddhist traditions. Samatha being calm concentration, vipassana being analytic insight meditation. "Standard mindfulness", i.e. the distillation of Theravada Buddhist insight techniques into the western mainstream, is rooted in vipassana.

However, when you learn vipassana from a religious lineage, the various teachers and monasteries have slightly different techniques and progressions of the practice from what we'd consider "standard mindfulness".
I don't see a plot hole, it is just a twist that can happen in real life. You thought you landed the dreamjob after which you learnt that the interview was a big charade for a busywork job to keep up the pseudo statistics/metrics of a narcissistic boss.
Ok dude, sure. What's your daily lead intake, and in what forms?
I don't think a long pay-off horizon is a problem for this market. It the same as for shares in companies that don't pay dividends. What creates a price for Berkshire Hathaway (BRK/A) if owning the share never gives you anything in the form of dividend? It's because in the far future, you can be confident they'll have enough money in the bank that they will pay out. Maybe not in your lifetime, but you can sell to someone, who'll sell to someone, etc. who will eventually collect a dividend. The market is so abstract that that pay-off time could be infinity years in the future and still, the share still has market value today.
What does it mean to be religious to you? Like what does it actually mean on a day to day basis? Is that different to what life would be like without say some form of God consciousness?
IEC 60617, the standard for electrotechnical symbols, gets that one right - the XOR gate gets labeled with =1, the parity gate with 2k + 1. But when you use circuit design software for PCBs or FPGAs you can still sometimes get bitten because you are getting something different than what you expected.
Thankyou for the correction, but the singular 'they' has been used in gender-unknown or gender-irrelevant cases for centuries. I was not aware this person was male -- but it did not matter to me. Ie, it matches both points.

My personal feeling is using a more widely applicable pronoun is more respectful, in general, so I use 'they' frequently, especially referring to people I don't know and so where I don't know their identity.

https://www.oed.com/discover/a-brief-history-of-singular-the... is interesting reading.
I can certainly see that. I try not to consume daily news. If it's actually important, someone will tell me about it.
Exactly.

I run or cycle daily and do small triathlons / half marathons in the summer. I’m mostly vegetarian. I weigh 155 lbs and I’m 5’11”. I sleep fine.

I get random severe migraines 2-3 times a year.

I discovered sumatriptan. It stops the migraine almost instantly when i sense one coming on (my vision starts to “fuzz out”).

Before this I would lose a day recovering in a dark room lying down. I was scared whenever I backpacked or went on long trips that I would have a migraine at the wrong time. Sumatriptan freed me from this.

I’m glad OP found a cure that works for them but everyone is different.
My first party set deck looks exactly like that. They must've done a redesign at some point.
Sounds irrelevant in both cases. A business will use real redundancy with extra drives rather than hoping to maybe recover data from a dead drive. If the drive dies they probably just pull it and rebuild, which is likely quite a lot better (from a technical perspective, excluding storage space) on an SSD (much higher write rates restore the redundancy faster).

Electronic failures are technically possible, but tbh I think that's so unlikely nowadays it's not really worth considering. The amount of electronics in everyday life and almost none of them ever break for reasons related to the elctronics themselves.
Optimal for who and in what situation? What is the optimal default practice for a single variable (lives saved) in the general case is not necessarily optimal in all cases.

In the case of this aircraft not only were the maximum number of lives saved but the some people also got their luggage reducing the sum total of BS and PITA the passengers involved had to endure. This is a superior overall solution than following the "rules" because that solution would have saved the same number of lives and increased the overall PITA because a greater number of passengers would have been without their luggage.

Basically the people involved rightly judged they could allocate some resources away from GTFOing and allocate them toward PITA reducing and we're all screeching about it like idiots because had the situation been different they would not have been able to make such a tradeoff and get the same results.

This entire topic of comments is in the same category as complaining about people ignoring the speed limit on empty highways or hopping some queue control ropes to skip a bunch of zig zagging when the queue is short enough they're not cutting anyone by doing so.
Backblaze can lose 3/20 hard drives and still recover the data from parity drives. They don't have to rely on recovering it from non-operative drives unless they become unbelievably unlucky.
It's amazing how dated the talk seems even though it's only 10 years old.

The talk references an insurance website that requires a Java applet for uploading a file. Last time I neede

It also praises Hipmunk for its ease of use. SAP bought hipmunk and shutdown the website in 2020. see https://www.concur.com/en-us/concur-hipmunk-faq

update: reddit had a couple of suggestions for alternatives - https://www.reddit.com/r/Flights/comments/13uqmba/website_wi...

Not sure if there's a comparable or better flight-booking site these days.

The CHOP (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) website looks more modern/cleaned up.

In this framing MPEG video compression is just a more sophisticated XOR.
You are entirely correct, however most consumers would take the loss and discard the data rather than replace a drive controller or salvage the platters. That's something they would need to hire an expensive data recovery service for.

If you're a business or a professional then certainly HDDs provide you with more recovery opportunities.

If you read the wording of this article carefully it says that the employees were fired in error. By referring to several different firings and by juxtaposing statements, the article tries to give the impression that Trump's rules demanded that they be fired and that Trump then had to change his mind, but it doesn't say that. Don't believe it when articles insinuate more than they actually say.
It doesn’t explain anything. It asserts a lot. Sorry I took the time to critique and give examples as a freelance business communication designer. Effective business communication requires frank feedback, and mine usually isn’t cheap, but if protecting your ego is the goal here, just keep assuming you’re doing everything right and it’s everybody else’s fault it’s not landing.
The clause that you cited does not in any way contradict what I said.

"Independent" agencies are supposed to function with a high level of autonomy. The president does not have to give individual orders to underlings at the DOJ in order to ensure that Congress' wishes are faithfully executed.

Yes, my take on this has always been, "Trying to outbright the sun with a battery-powered device is _not_ a brilliant approach." which is why I've always preferred transflective displays (and despair of replacing my Fujitsu Stylistic ST-4110 which was one of my most favourite computers, and probably the longest-lived --- still boot it up occasionally to use a scanner, and I'd use it for more if an 800MHz Pentium could cope with today's JavaScript on today's Web...)
Sounds like nano texture from Apple. Much less reflective than standard glass, but with added graininess, which is clearly visible to me :(
Extensive experience with both. These days I default to Deel for no reason other than I find them more flexible with obscure requests and niche questions. They are both competitive in terms of price and both have a solid UI (more important than you'd think).

They also love to compete with each other so make sure to share the quotes with both sides and let them bid for your business.

There are well paid corporate jobs that feel like a punch in the stomach every day. Luckily they did not cross your path. It can happen very quickly though, for example the company you work for gets bought by another one with different company culture or simply your boss got switched to a narcissist.
"It's written in Rust" is not responsible for most of the improvements on offer here. (TFA barely mentions Rust, to its credit.) Many of them come from algorithmic improvements, better design decisions, and simply just not having the tool reside in the same environment as the installation target. (It is perfectly possible to use Pip cross-environment like this, too. People just don't do it, because a) they don't know and b) the standard library `venv` and `ensurepip` tools are designed to bootstrap Pip into new virtual environments by default. My recent blog post https://zahlman.github.io/posts/2025/01/07/python-packaging-... offers relevant advice here, and upcoming posts are in the works and/or planned about design issues in Pip.)

If your purpose is to denigrate Python as a language, then uv isn't solving problems for you anyway. But I will say that the kind of evangelism you're doing here is counterproductive, and is the exact sort of thing I'd point to when trying to explain why the project of integrating Rust code into the Linux kernel has been so tumultuous.
I’m pretty sure you know. Forgive me for not responding further, but your username doesn’t inspire confidence that you’d be willing to engage in an honest exchange of ideas. I hope to be wrong, but experience says that people who feel the need to advertise their tribal affiliation so overtly are seldom open to challenging their personal world view.
I don't know where you guys are looking - both Farnell and RS Components, which are UK based and among the suppliers I use the most at work, stock leaded solder. There are other suppliers more local to me that stock it as well.

It's not like it's banned or anything, it's just not allowed to be used in (most) consumer electronics.
Battery-only EVs have a much simpler drive train, and longer-lasting batteries.

Hybrids are not simply EV+ICE, they have very different kind of batteries (low-voltage, high C-rate).

In a hybrid, you have a battery that is 1/10th of the size, so the battery works 10x harder – needs to discharge at higher rate to move the car by itself, and usually there's no room for proper cooling of the battery.

In a BEV you have 10x more modules working at 1/10th of that rate, and there's battery management system keeping it at optimal temperature.

Batteries live longer when they're kept in 20-80% state of charge, and don't like to be cycled deeply. Small hybrid batteries get charged and discharged fully quite regularly, while the same distance needs only 10% of BEVs battery.

Red Hat put their kernel source behind a paywall after getting bought by IBM, so that was a thing that happened. Also Oracle sucks. :)
I mean, would you be able to pilot an airplane at first try? Does it mean that it is badly designed?

Frameworks reverse who calls who, it is your code that will be called at certain points, not the other way around. Obviously, one has to learn a bit about the framework before touching one, blindly copy-pasting from stackoverflow/chatgpt is not software develolment.
The problem with the CEO as president metaphor is that the CEO of a company is functionally a dictator. If the company is private, then there are no checks on the CEO at all.

Calling someone a dictator is an accusation, something every American was taught was wrong in school. Calling someone a CEO is a compliment, something our collective media has taught us to aspire to.

CEO is just a softer word that makes submission easier, or even logical, while it hides the truth of that power structure which is functionally the same for both.

"The CEO metaphor re-frames political rule as a business operation, which makes executive overreach appear logical rather than dangerous."

This is a very effective manipulation technique.

Your kid's bedroom (if your a Gen X parent).

Youth culture is now heavily social media or short content based, making it easier to reach out to large audiences while staying at home.

You can build and manage an entire community of friends just by using Discord or other similar products, so you can develop a network effect without having to be in-person.

Take a look at SoundCloud Rap, TikTok shorts, Gamer Youtube, Podcasts, ASMR, etc.

Also, a lot of us younger people had some of our most formative years during the lockdowns, which turbocharged online culture.
Couple of anecdotes.

I got in touch with American Steve Jackson for permission to scan his game novel 'Stonekeep'. He didn't give permission.

Second, I got a Warlock of Firetop Mountain book off Ebay which was dedicated by Steve Jackson to a scottish landlady 'The best guesthouse in ---'. I got in touch with Steve about the book and he remembered it. I printed out the email to go in my rare WOFM book.

Finally, I was going to make an animated film of Rings of Kether but couldn't get the money to make it.

That's the thing: you don't actually need Rust. uv has simply chosen it as an implementation language, but there isn't anything about Python that inherently prevents it from being used to write tools better than Pip. The problems with Pip are problems with Pip, not problems with Python.

(And many of them are completely fake, anyway. You don't actually need to spend an extra 15MB of space, and however many seconds of creation time, on a separate copy of Pip in each venv just so that Pip can install into that venv. You just need the `--python` flag. Which is a hack, but an effective one.)

(Last I checked, the uv compiled binary is something like 35MB. So sticking with a properly maintained Pip cuts down on that. And Pip is horrendously bloated, as Python code goes, especially if you only have the common use cases.)
As an old software-dev who has both started and 'finished' projects (stayed on to make them actually useful in production for non-trivial data flows), Amen.

In today's world it is in some ways getting worse: You have older applications that are still bringing in money, built on a patchwork of outdated platforms, that e.g. Microsoft no longer supports or offer migration paths away from, apart from a full rewrite.. And unpatched security holes in the older software removes your option of 'just stay'.

I find it painful to explain to business that yes, their 5-6 year old 'greenfield' product now consists almost entirely of parts that no longer offer migration paths or maintenance :-/.
