In the US, the commits (aka bills aka statutes) are the source of truth, but they're regularly compiled and codified into the US code [1] which is analogous to the tip of main. The code is a concise, organized, holistic representation of the statutes, but when people actually get into legal disputes, they have to go back to the original statutes to litigate it.

Unfortunately this PDF doesn't explain Lazard's calculations, so it won't convince anyone who employs any critical thinking. Key factors like types of PV panels, whether tariffs are included or excluded, to what extent the panels' peak capacity exceeds the inverters' capacity (if at all), interest rates, etc., are not provided at all. Capacity factor is only mentioned as a broad range, with no mention of factors like what country it's in, fixed vs. sun-tracking, transmission costs for especially sunny sites, etc. Maybe it's fine if you want a rough guide, if it's correct, but it presents no evidence to show that it is correct.

Some evidence that it's not correct is that Saudi Arabia signed a PPA for wind last year at US$15.65 per MWh https://renewablesnow.com/news/saudi-arabia-signs-1-100-mw-o..., which is barely over half of Lazard's minimum LCOE for wind of US$27. So I don't think they're being too generous regarding renewables, though their solar numbers do look more reasonable.

Here's a quick LCoE exercise. Unlike Lazard, I show my work, so that, if it's wrong, anyone can see that and correct it. Suppose you're a utility that can freely import Chinese solar panels at the current €0.110/Wp (https://www.solarserver.de/photovoltaik-preis-pv-modul-preis...) in a region where single-axis trackers give you a 25% capacity factor, you are borrowing money at 5% to build a 100-megawatt-peak plant, the panel cost is 30% of the total plant cost, and the plant life is 20 years. (These are fairly typical numbers.)

The panels will degrade over the 20-year period, so you'll only get about 90% of your rated peak power on average over that time, and the capacity factor of 25% brings that down to 23 megawatts on average. (This is front-loaded, so the panels produce more toward the beginning of the plant's life when it matters more, but let's ignore that.) This works out to about 200'000 MWh per year.

To amortize a €36.78 million loan over 20 years at 5% you need to pay €2.9 million per year.

Dividing €2.9 million by 200'000 MWh gives you €15 per MWh (1.5¢/kWh, 55¢ per gallon of gasoline, US$4.30/GJ).

This is pretty far below where current European and US solar PPAs are coming in, and about half of what Lazard gives as the low end. So, either I'm missing something fundamental, or one or more of my assumptions above is inapplicable to most of Europe and the US. Here are my best guesses about what it is:

- A lot of European plants are being built in very polar and cloudy countries like the Netherlands and Germany, so the capacity factor is much worse than 25%. Like 10%.

- The US has massive import tariffs which more than double the price of solar panels.

- Maybe balance-of-plant costs have fallen far behind the precipitous drop in solar module prices, so maybe currently the cost of modules is only 15% of the plant cost instead of the usual 30% or so.

- Maybe lenders consider solar energy projects risky and so demand higher interest rates than the 5% or so that is usual for utility bond flotation.

What do others think?

> I guess it would be still fun to use Delphi for personal projects.

Like many of the other commenters here, I use Lazarus for Delphi projects in 2025 (Not just personal projects, but business projects too).

I don't really like the language too much, but:

1. Pascal (or Object Pascal) is very readable compared to almost anything else I've used[1]. I can come back to code from 2 years ago and spend a few minutes to context switch back into the language.

2. The language gotcha's are a small enough pain point that they are outweighed by the advantages of the type creation. I like being able to create a ranged integer type, which is then enforced by the compiler.

3. For most stuff, the majority of my logic is written using opaque types in C and then simply linked into the Lazarus GUI. I originally started using strong isolation and decoupling in C to enforce typing guarantees, but a side-effect of this is that it makes it exceptionally easy for other languages to reuse the program logic.

[1] I've been programming for money since the mid-90s, so you can assume that I've used almost everything that was mainstream (or top 10 in terms of popularity) each year since 1995.

LLMs are an echo chamber. They reflect back what we put into them, both in training, and in usage. This can certainly be useful for working through problems, but they can also amplify and reinforce harmful patterns of thought.

If you're spiralling downwards, the worst thing is for an LLM to echo that accelerate the spiral. There's no evidence (only anecdotes) to suggest that LLMs are able to prevent that spiralling in a way that a mental health professional is trained to do.

I've never understood a strong distinction between common law and civil law. Seems like the only difference is that common law is supposed to involve stronger deference to judicial precedent, although clearly it's not absolute.
I wonder whether the phones and software used were certified for discussing such sensitive issues and if there are risks of leaking the data because of this.
This post describes Peano’s Arithmetic, not Peano's axiom, even though it says the latter. Induction is a second order quantification over predicate. Just saying induction is true for all predicate is PA.

Interesting. What a shame that you couldn't find a fix (for the thirst and peeing) to stay on this diet that otherwise worked well for you.
Not my experience. Plenty of work out there. I see a lot of freelancers with very narrow skills or specialization, a fragile strategy in the software field. I also see freelancers who only have commodity skills (React, Wordpress) to sell, making them another fish in a crowded pond. Competition always most fierce in the shallow part of the pool.

The main advantage one can get as a freelancer comes down to adding business value. That comes from listening to the customer, then identifying and solving their problems. It doesn’t come from telling customers what they should do or using them to practice with your own preferred languages and tools.

For example a majority of my customers came to me because other consultants refused to (or couldn’t) work with and debug an existing code base and infrastructure. They proposed an expensive and risky full rewrite, which rightly scares customers away. Once I can demonstrate some real value and understand the business I can propose replacing things, and by then I have no competitive bidders to worry about.
It is not as bad as it used to be... Apple phones are only good for parts, which isn't much. I'd guess pickpockets typically can't tell what kind of phone you have before they take it, and Androids, being the exploitable mishmash of stuff they usually are, often can be unlocked.

In the US I am not worried about people taking my phone even in sketchy areas. I'm sure they'd much rather have my wallet or other valuables.
I feel like you answered your own question...

Like I get it, but English is fluid and is it really that far to make the assumptive leap from "git" to "github/lab/service", seems pretty clear what they meant (even if it's not completely/technically/um-actually correct because git != github).
IMO Apple is uniquely positioned to loose a lot of control and market share, to web-apps, to OpenAI consumer products if they succeed with hardware, and whatever unexpected new thing comes along. They have lost clout, developer goodwill, and have been caught sleeping at the wheel, thinking their ecosystem will go on prospering automatically.
Swift and especially SwiftUI are not exceptional technology, but it is what they choose to build.
If LLM continues to get better, prompts become less important. You just say you feel depressed and it will know to talk like a therapist by default and likely be better. E-cigs never evolve that rapidly, as an analogy
While I do agree this is the case for flight, I think saying EVERY major invention is not correct, or possibly not correct.

It's impossible to know how many people died shy of a breakthrough they were working on, that never was realised.

I have never had a doctor ask me what flavor my pain is, but I can easily describe various types of pain as e.g. spicy, sour, bitter, etc.
Code bases have a lot of cross-references as well. Perhaps the most easily described is 'jump to definition'. But that's handled by your IDE/editor together with language specific tooling, and has nothing to do with git.

Why should legal texts be any different as far as git is concerned?

I've been in a similar situation and I eventually walked away to keep my sanity.

However, that being said, there are some simple heuristics you can try first:

- if you have more power via your shareholder agreement, you can prevent your co-founder from running the company, effectively firing them,

- if it's a 50/50 or they have more power, you can try to "disagree and commit" for a certain limited amount of time (e.g. 1 year) to see if what you "genuinely believe" is correct, or maybe they are more correct,

In any case, my advice would be to avoid an emotional decision.

Fuck Substack
This depends entirely on your use-case though right? It's not generic advice.

If your use-case is a data warehouse, then you absolutely want more than a K/V database and likely dynamic query plans because the point is dynamic usage. If your use-case is the serving frontend for a >1m request per second API, then sure, you probably don't want the complexity of a relational database and query planner.

Most things are somewhere in the middle and need to give serious consideration to this.
Because you are. You are reaching so hard and so far to tar me with words that I have not written. I wrote that he "lied us into Iraq". In no way does that imply sole causation. It goes without saying that he had plenty of help, but he was a participant, and a key one at that.
Greenwald's quote in the Wikipedia article matches my recollection precisely. That "one article" was tinder for a media blitz. It was discussed, cited, and amplified--ad nauseam--and it was a pack of lies. And there was nary a disclosure of his interest as an ex-IDF dual-citizen at the time. Just article after article, show after show, passing lies off as truth, pointing to Goldberg as the citation. Skepticism is "doubt" as to the truth of something. Doubt involves uncertainty, hesitation, etc. When it comes to Jeff and Iraq in 2025, there is no doubt.

As for the present business... Is anything in that text chain a surprise to you? I think everyone knows who these people are, what they are capable of: Ivy-leaguers who graduated to mass-murder--just like every other administration. "The People" will not tolerate anything less. Team Blue will howl that Team Red's mass-murderers are 2nd-rate. Team Red will shrug. Nothing will change. Neither side really cares about the mass-murder, as long as their bellies are full, and the correct opinions on women's restrooms are upheld.
That doesn't disprove it at all. It just states that they owners haven't said that's the reason, and that they've given other reasons. Their actions are entirely consistent with someone having batshit crazy beliefs, but knowing that they can't tell people those beliefs.

just talk to another human, i mean…

the lengths some people will go to in order to diminish other people is bizarre. just talk to another person.

if you’re paranoid people are judging you or something, consider if you judge others harshly and maybe this makes you needlessly paranoid. we’re all just trying moving about through the world trying our best to figure shit out the best we can. that includes everyone here.

just talk to another person, give it longer than an awkward first impression tho. just talk to another person—we’re not scary.

Django (python web framework) migrations have worked similar to this for well over a decade: You modify the models, then generate the migrations from the models and commit those.

The changes aren't generated on the fly at runtime because it can prompt you for things it suspects or can't figure out, for example if you rename a column the naive way would be an add+delete, which erases data. If the types are the same, it checks whether you wanted that or a rename, and generates the appropriate migration.
Yes, like other property rights. Creators have a natural right to copyright protection of their works.
Funny enough in git a 'commit' actually refers to the full state of the data in the repository (and zero or more pointers to parent commits).

When we do 'git show' we typically look the diff to the parent commit. But in git that's derived data. The 'snapshot' of your files is the fundamental point of view in git, and they are the source of truth (in some sense).

As you they, they make the diffs the source of truth in the US. I think that's how Subversion used to work. I don't know if that's still true, though.

The git model makes diffs between arbitrary commits about equally expensive to produce, no matter how far away in the commit graph they are from each other (if they are even connected at all). It also makes complicated merges conceptually simpler.

I don't believe this. It's illegal in many countries. No way a large German (after Dieselgate they all are very cautious) company like Bosch would make such a stupid move. If they did they'd face countless lawsuits and a ban in many countries (first would be the USA).

I was immediately offended by your rebuttal and gave it some thought. It is an interesting definitional boundary.

Perhaps the distinction is more pragmatic than fundamentally technical. We typically use the term "database" to describe systems designed primarily for structured data management with query capabilities, while filesystems optimize for hierarchical storage of opaque binary objects.

Therefore a KV is not a database either.

My luck is that I have a loving wife who helps me. It would be far more difficult without her, but I guess I would have to use checklists if I had to do this on my own.

Or maybe it should have been obvious by the specificity of my advice.
You are literally repeating the classic - "younger generation" are "negative adjective" and not as "positive adjective" as "older generation" and thus can't hack it - which has been going on since the beginning of time.
Wow, I didn't know Android phones were susceptible to this. Apple did this to a phone I had but I assumed Google couldn't since there are so many manufacturers with varying setups.
There are two main sets of differences:

The conceptual differences, and the differences in content.

You are right that the conceptual differences are murkier in practice than in theory:

Even in civil law countries, judges tend to defer to precedent, even though they aren't strictly bound by it. And in common law countries, if you are a judge and you don't like a precedent (even a precedent set by a higher court), you can 'just' find enough differences between the case in front of you and the precedents you don't like, and argue away the differences with the precedents you do like.

Content-wise, there's a big difference in how eg German law sees contracts and how English law sees them. But you could (more or less) embed the English definition of contract in a civil law system, just as much as you could embed the German definition in a common law system.

In practice the main difference between English vs German contracts is in the legal boilerplate and fine print. You can think of the boilerplace text like a 'polyfill' or compatibility layer that gets you closer to what you actually want to implement in the main text of your contract.
There are both interesting aspects.

I wonder whether you could represent both at the same time in a single git repository.
I do like this approach in theory, but agreed I don't think that the devex has been solved and I don't know how many people would value a different approach as SQL feels like king in many places... FWIW it's kind of the approach that IndexedDB in the web takes, however that the API is quite bad IMO.

Or maybe there is a higher level DSL that you could apply to create query plans (something like MongoDB aggregation pipelines maybe?), but it quickly becomes basically the same as SQL.
The author may have a complete understanding of the landscape, but they did not strike me as honest. I found them deceptive, misleading, and manipulative instead.
That is to say, I dont think they presented an accurate picture of the world, and did so intentionally, conflating religious metaphors throughout and playing up emotional tropes throughout.

I think a more accurate phrasing is that a transhumanist would not consider change to be the same as extinction or death.

They aren't worrying about losing some unique but undefinable essence, but assume any valuable essence would be carried along. I dont think they view change in the US vs them paradigm. Instead, it is US and US with differences.

They would say god gave us the tools to make children and alter ourselves, so doing so is not playing god.

I see a real world therapist but there are genuinely topics ChatGPT is simply better at.

I also feel like real therapists almost have too much state. They know too much about you to just let you talk. They like to try to tie all your problems back to other issues, and it's like no, my inability to give up childhood toys is not rooted in my crippling fear of nothingness, and you're derailing my line of thought with the suggestion.

I have frankly had some very productive conversations with ChatGPT about things I would be embarrassed to tell another human being. The lack of any real judgement is useful.
