Linus echoing your father's thoughts in 2006:

I happen to believe that not having a kernel debugger forces people to think about their problem on a different level than with a debugger. I think that without a debugger, you don't get into that mindset where you know how it behaves, and then you fix it from there. Without a debugger, you tend to think about problems another way. You want to understand things on a different _level_.

That mentality is exactly what leads to the problem. You want to hold everyone organization accountable for every perceived failing which leads them to optimize towards a state where they can justify existence but do as little as possible to minimize the potential for any perceived failing.
I have been known to author twenty-page documents in a fit of caffeine and have rarely been pleased by their reception. Circulating such epics is an office crime of sorts.

However, I think the quality of a document - and the time it takes to understand it - is less about the length, and more about how it's organized. Sometimes a document will have many useful attachments, clearly labelled, that a reader can optionally review if it's helpful. If the document has a good narrative flow, motivation, and structure, then someone can get the point quickly and skip around as they wish. Making documents very short is one way to ensure readers can follow easily, but there are ways to make it work for long documents, too.
The phone snatchers at least in the UK prefer souped up e-bikes rather than e-motorcycles. That thing the police would stop you if you didn't have a number plate.
I remember this! I think Germany did something similar, and of course the US with the nuclear phase-out.
Arenko (energy transition/batteries) | London, UK | 2x/week in office

We work on industrial/grid-scale batteries and other renewable generation: monitoring, managing and trading them on multiple energy markets. Batteries like these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_energy_storage_system Everyone starting from the C-suite is passionate about addressing climate change and transitioning to renewable energy!

We're a small team of 7 backend engineers atm (other teams have Ops, FE and DS roles). We have paying customers and have been around for a while. Our current goal is to make the platform more scalable and move to new markets. The biggest challenge is understanding how the various energy markets and energy storage in general work and then translating that to reliable working software.

We're currently looking for a Senior Backend Engineer (Go) and a Senior Data Scientist. Our office is in London Blackfriars and most engineers come in about 2 days a week, but this is flexible.

Feel free to message me with any questions or apply directly:

Why does Mozilla keep falling into the trap of bringing these crappy MBAs into their leadership? Promote real ambassadors of privacy and open software instead of people like the current interim CEO, who is ex-McKinsey. If they can't manage that then maybe it's finally time to let Mozilla go. Andreas Kling's browser project sounds like it's coming along well.

If France had hold out until 1943, with the Wehrmacht only making a few hundred yards progress per day, it would have been a massive success, don't you agree? Without western help, Ukraine would have had no chance in hell to survive that long.

It's the same logic the US applied to lend-lease, didn't they? There was a good chance of the USSR collapsing until 1943, and you still helped them. Delaying an invading attacker, especially one who may plan, according to their own internal propaganda, to attack other nations later, is already more than "nothing".

The price for peace is living under occupation. Depending on the occupier, this can be a fate worse than death, and significant numbers of Ukrainians appear to think the latter.

And for a very selfish argument: It buys us, the Europeans, more time (with Ukrainian blood) to prepare for war, when Russia attacks the Baltics in a few years. Which we desperately need, as the US will likely break their promise and not help us under the current administration (and who knows who the US elects next).

The 3 years allowed e.g. the Baltics to build extensive defensive fortifications.

The good about democracy is that everyone can vote, and the bad about democracy is that everyone can vote.
Hence the need of proper education and unfiltered information, the first helping to digest and understand the second in order to know who you vote and why; if you tamper with those, you can have people vote for anyone, including a dictator.
Voting is a right, doing it knowledgeably is a duty, and so many people forget about the 2nd.
The context is "You want to raise the price of energy to make wind etc competitive?"

Adding a separate topic seems like a distraction. Everyone knows about negative externalities. I don't think we need to rehearse the same points to obscure the specific one I'm asking about.
Why? Mozilla has been circling the drain for a while with their poor decisions, and questionable privacy practices all while proclaiming to be all about user privacy. Now they have flushed any goodwill they had right down the toilet.

As leaders, they need to be held accountable for their poor decisions. Which means they need to fuck off, and let new people come in and rebuild trust.

Full stack developer with strong expertise in Typescript and Go backends and React frontends. I have worked before in a startup (Horizen) before moving to freelance work. I again want to return to Full Time Employment to work with a fun startup to develop something that matters. I enjoy wearing many hats from system administration, front end design, back end engineering, and speaking directly to clients to gather their needs. If you need a jack of all trades that learns quickly to get things done, I am that person.
Vietnam is arguably less developed than China, but their bathrooms are way cleaner on average.
The poster mentions issues with Notes and Freeform. I use these apps with an Ipad Mini 6, and suffer from freezes, latency, high power draw and crashes. I was previously considering getting a more powerful device like an Ipad Pro, but according to OP this won't fix it at all.
Paraphrasing a redditor, the Freeform app seems to have been developed as a demo tool to use in Apple Stores.

In theory, there should be some sort of paid app that uses all the incredible hardware for an actual good experience.
On Notes:

1. If you copy some text

2. Select other text

3. Paste the text you copied to replace the selected text

Notes will crash. This has been known for years.

Also if you turn off all suggestions in Spotlight on iOS and just use it as an app launcher, it will still take seconds for Spotlight to show you the results. For something that's supposed to be an indexed look up.
> You're already allowing the user to omit the 14+ zeros of precision actually represented in the underlying value and there's no confusion about what the correct answer is in either case

In json, there’s considerable confusion possible, as you don’t know how much precision is “actually represented”. For example, is “1.3” meant as a float, as a double, as a big decimal? In most languages, (double)1.3f prints as 1.299…, and is different from 1.3
Your comment is exactly the kind of high-ended attitude that is turning off people from having healthy debates with other people who might disagree with them.

I am asking a legitimate question.

Your contention is that even though the war is at best a stalemate and has revealed that Russia is at best a paper tiger, we should now believe that somehow it has the strength to invade all the Baltic states?

I am sorry to say but this is a fantasy that is not supported by the facts of the situation that we have seen in the last 3 years.

Now, you are free to disagree and that is fine but that should not stop us to ask questions about these matters.
Now it is clear that USA takes Putin's side in the war.

The only peace plan Trump has is to humiliate Ukraine ans push it to accept surrender to Russia with reparations payments to USA.
Baltics could very well be on the menu, but it will not be this year. Not next year. Not the year after that.

Right now, Russia needs to rebuild their military as much as they can, and get their real economy back in shape.

My prediction is that IF Ukraine is being forced into a shitty peace agreement, Russia will spend the next 3-4 years rebuilding everything they can, and then when Trump has 6 months left, they'll go all-inn on Ukraine. Trump is effectively in his lame duck period, no republicans want to campaign on entering a huge war, and while democrats might campaign on defending Ukraine - it will not be a popular issue among regular voters.

Then, if Russia manages to do that, other countries will be on the chopping block years later.

I simply do not believe Russia has the manpower, or political backing to do a mobilization required to invade the Baltics. Even if this would be the right moment to do it, with a completely neutered USA.
12 hours of night time is not 30TWh
The world is currently at 26TWh A DAY

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_energy_consumption

Let's say it is 30Twh a day in 2030 - you can calculate 50% less energy usage during night making it 20 TWh during daytime and 10Twh during night time.
This excludes large wind farms that add to base load if you average over the world. There is always wind somewhere around you.

Realistically if we reach 5Twh storage we are able to be >90% renewable.

Having 5Twh of storage is of course not an easy feat if estimates are correct we will have 6.5TWh battery production in 2030. If we amount for 10% of that used in grid storage we would need a decade for a 90%+ renewable grid.
There is no faster method. It is realistic.
No thank you. Fork.
It's a heavily gamed benchmark, but TechEmpower Fortunes is pretty good at revealing the max throughput of a language runtime for "specially tuned" code (instead of idiomatic code).

Java currently beats .NET by about 40%: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#hw=ph&test=fortune&s...

I judge more idiomatic / typical code complexity by the length of stack traces in production web app crashes. Enterprise Java apps can produce monstrous traces that are tens of pages long.

ASP.NET Core 9 is a bit worse than ASP.NET Web Forms used to be because of the increased flexibility and async capability, but it's still nowhere near as bad as a typical Java app.

In terms of code length / abstraction nonsense overhead, have a look at the new Minimal APIs for how lightweight code can get in modern C# web apps: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/m...
> can’t make regular calls over cellular

That's extremely serious because the call you're trying to make could be an emergency call. A bug like that would have top priority in the org I used to work in.
If I'd had to guess it cancels the call because there's a crash in a process somewhere. Possibly because of audio handover between apps.
That border is either mountain ranges (Altai), or empty steppes (Zabaikalsk), or boreal forests (Amur and Vladivostok). Either way -- the area lacks infrastructure and even roads, for the most part. It doesn't provide any military advantage, especially given that the Chinese side of the border is much better developed.

If anything, the area is not defensible against even a half-ass incursion effort from the south (either economical or military-driven), which they're actually in the middle of (the economical one for now) without realizing that.
My personal annoyance is Apple abandoning AppKit in favor of SwiftUI, which breaks down immediately once you do more complex interactions than basic demo apps. NSScrollView and NSCollectionView must be among the most buggy UI components, but SwiftUI ScrollView is so barebones (and also buggy), it's basically useless.
A couple ideas immediately come to mind:

Using AI and LLMs to counter the onslaught of online disinformation, tailoring that to audiences that currently are coopted by disinformation, reinforcing the value of democracy and how an assault on it, even if by people someone supports, will, inevitably, backfire. Create and automate hundreds or thousands of credible Twitter and Truth Social accounts and disrupt their misinformation distribution network. Magnify dissenting Republican voices, splitting the party and stoking rivalries. Trump relies on his majority on both houses and his control of the GOP. Nullifying it brings the game back into the conventional democratic debate.

There isn't much we can do to mostly offline networks, such as Fox, OANN, Rogan and such except to bait them into spreading misinformation that's in the interest of the country, but against the interests of the current government. Doing so will impact their credibility with their audience.

Also, reinforce critical systems against cyber attacks, and do so without the help or support of the government. A great many of the assets that would be attacked are privately owned, and doing so is already a good idea.

It's extremely important to not break any law doing this. Assume enforcement will be discretionary and will be aggressive against any party that opposes the current incumbent.
> When someone else bankrolls your defense by spending almost a trillion dollars a year

That is the whole defense budget from the US, not how much it spends in Europe.

And yes, EU should stop relying in the US for defense. That arrangement only benefits the US, to be frank, EU should develop its own defense industry instead of strengthening the defense industry of a foreign nation. Especially now that said foreign nation is essentially enemy territory.
"Nothing achieved" is exactly right. Russia did not achieve in 3 years what it thought it could achieve in 1-2 weeks. Tons of people died on both sides (though no civilians in Russia). The only reason russia is continuing is because west while is perfectly equipped militarily desperately lacks balls and succumbs to putin's propaganda.

Basically the laptop classes (all actual or wannabe EV-owners) have started revolting against the fact that they have to inhale cancer-igneous fumes on their way to their yoga classes, and this is the result of that.
> Mind to elaborate why fueling the endless war is a "miserable disgrace"?

Helping Russia by giving them what they want (time to rebuild their military and economy while lifting sanctions) is what will actually fuel an "endless war" as Russia will simply continue the war at a later stage.

Don't confuse a temporary peace on paper with actual peace.
The whole thing confuses me is that why would Firefox as an browser (user agent) need that legal jargon to work. Hopefully Legal Eagle or similar channels would cover this, but they are too busy with politics at the moment?
You mean how it was successfully and profitably-run for over a decade part-nationalised, following its near-collapse as a private company?

Or how in the Thatcher era, the government began to privatise and divest the most valuable parts of the company (and arguably a huge amount of British soft power) for little return to the taxpayer?

Notably it sold Mini to BMW, Leyland to DAF, Jaguar and Land Rover to Ford.

Privately-run Ford nearly went bust in the 2000s and famously had to be bailed out by the US taxpayer, but they sold off Jaguar and Land Rover to Tata in the process.
> the bad about democracy is that everyone can vote.

This is what needs to change. Recently there was a story that Reese Witherspoon was in a jury, and the other jury members thought she was a real lawyer because of Legally Blonde. These people are not qualified to serve on a jury let alone vote.

Why are we getting input from people that couldn't run a small low traffic corner store on how to run a country? It's ridiculous, and it's the reason the US is in the mess it is now.
Partly off-topic: which well-known companies have research groups? I knew about Microsoft and IBM. Google, probably. Others? Might be interesting to browse their sites for nuggets to explore or use.
TLDR; it ended up on national radio and could have bankrupted me...twice. Also stats are at the bottom of the article
Most countries still do not mandate that new apartments include charging ports for parking spots. So densely-populated areas will still be plagued with non-EC compatible buildings for decades to come. That's what "city life" mean in several countries.
Fair question. In addition to the other reply, he'd be wary of at all challenging any point of Trump's committed direction.
