Wait until you find out what you have to do to keep people from portraying you as a RINO.

You might find a video of unison language interesting. (I'm not sold on there approach per se, but they do grapple with this problem and its logistics.)

I imagine GP is talking about every macOS update forcibly overwriting /etc/zshrc. They bothered writing a system capable of dropping the conflicted file in Relocated Items for us to optionally use--but they appear to be only using

I agree that there are multiple roles here (making EVs for the market that exists vs. shaping the market for the EVs you make or want to make) That said, I don't really mean products that don't make sense to the market as it exi

I listened to a podcast this week ( https://why-is-this-happening-with-chris-hayes.simplecast.co... ) where GPS featured prominently. It's about an upcoming ~Netflix show (called The G Word), so I assume there'll be a wh

At the risk of saying something dumb and meta... it's ideas all the way down (for a really long time now). The individual corporations are ideas, and then of course there's the idea of the corporation itself. As the post notes, co

It's not about who is or isn't in favor of it. The narrative has been misleading here. Check figures 2.c on page 18 and 2.o on page 34 in UT's report on this ( https://energy.utexas.edu/sites/default/

Iirc wind performed more or less as forecast (admittedly not great, but as expected) during Feb 2021 and nearly all of the shortfall came down to natural gas plants and infra failing.

Not sure how things things you project on my view about uninformed and malicious actors in our broad information ecosystem are a problem for my view.

AIUI (as someone who as on one of these plans), the primary provider, Griddy, went into bankruptcy (and was scapegoated for making a plan that had regulatory approval...). A lesser provider, Octopus Energy (which is rooted in the UK) disabl

I was seeing something about them having a 2.5c/kwh deal, I think? Edit: I think I was remembering this: https://twitter.com/DigiEconomist/status/1546844815140216835

In theory, though they're presumably cutting slack out of the system (and presumably making the kind of maintenance mentioned here harder to perform unless they're willing to cut them off to do it?)

To put the exclamation point on it, she went into respiratory distress, was within minutes of death and was saved by a week on ECMO. Until the vaccine kills more pregnant women than covid, it's not tricky. (Spoken, as before, as a self

I think (at least) three big problems intersect here: 1. the sci/med establishment seems to have some ongoing ~bias issues that I don't fully understand when it comes to listening to and taking lay people seriously (especially wom

Of course it wasn't, because it's obvious you won't be convinced. None of this was about intent. You projected that in. I can tell when someone didn't read the email. It isn't about people who are scheduling the d

Thanks for explaining my life to me. I am glad you know that I don't really have people schedule meetings right after getting an email in which I (and others) have to explain the content of said email before we can do anything produc

The projects beta will actually let you have a user project which would be easy enough to use that way. I am not sure, however, how public/searchable those are.

Within a project context? Or do you have a more ~personal/meta repo where you're doing this more broadly? If the latter I'd be curious to see an example (but don't feel pressured if you aren't comfortable dropping i

Thanks--this gives me a good sense, I think. My emphasis was probably a little off. You might be answering something like "if my goal is a strong profile, where should I start?" I was a little more curious about "where do you

I like the framing. I've been trying to blog more and publish more personal projects over the last ~4 years than I had before that, but speaking to the proverbial empty room is a little disheartening. I think it's because I'm

Edit: I meant something more more like, "What would you say makes an OSS profile strong ?", but I'll preserve the original question below so that the responses still make sense. :) --- Where would you say a strong OSS profil

You keep leaving out a key word: > The most-deflating response ... is the immediate TL;DR of the business world ... So, here we are, having a text-call to clarify your comprehension of something you actually read (if uncharitably). Bec

Have you entertained the possibility that we can tell, in said call, that the person who immediately requested the call needs the email explained to them (or asks multiple questions recapitulating the basics of the email) before they can

A decisive decision-session is great. An I-didn't-bother-reading-your-email-so-please-spend-an-extra-30m-explaining-it session is less so.

What was your magazine about? This models a good amount of reflection and humility. It's hard to take a rough critique. At least when it comes to code, there's an ultimate ~deterministic oracle (and style concerns can be respected

It can and it can't, I think. A lot of the value of writing is ~exponential, when you have enough to say that you have to start weighing structure. What to say first and last; what to leave out. It's value created by wrestling wit

The most-deflating response to a thoughtfully-written email that lays out a clear set of strategic choices is the immediate TL;DR of the business world: can we schedule a quick call to make sure we're all on the same page about this? W

PDFs are indeed a bit scary. A few months back I was triaging a GH issue where someone had attached an .rtf of their failure log and I was definitely tingling at the thought of opening it. I felt a bit paranoid doing it, but I curled it d
