The referendum was sneakily worded. Based on your sentiments, I expect you meant to vote 'yes' to suspend the project?

I heard that as well and it really detracted from the 'green' component of the project. Did HydroQuebec give any contractual guarantee that this would indeed be hydro-power and not just whatever's surplus in their grid?

Another interesting tidbit of Maine news is that a municipal Portland election ended in a tie in the final round of ranked choice voting. Around ~19,000 votes total. By state law they'll resolve the tie by drawing lots at the city hall

I believe HydroQuebec put in more money than anyone for this referendum.

Ironically, much of the funding for 'Yes' (which was in opposition to the new power lines) was provided by a nuclear reactor in New Hampshire that didn't want to compete against the lower electricity rates this would bring.

I agree. Also, those who claim it's more reliable than alternatives seem to have no qualms installing a native app. Like-for-like comparison with browser-based alternatives doesn't perform favorably.

I infer that you mean that a senior professional is more adept at mitigating the effects of burnout. While that may often correlate, I don't think it follows that someone is less professional or at an insufficient level if they are suf

The forces behind burnout don't decrease just by operating as a senior.

VR Optician now accepts an ASX for astigmatism correction. I don't think it adds to the base $69 USD cost. Prism corrections for $50 more.

I also blinked at that. But then took it to mean constitutionally in a pure sense - whether they can keep a strength of belief enough to follow through. Unrelated to 'The Constitution' from a US citizen's point of view. Altho

The iPad has the advantage of cellular data. But if your nomadic goals are not cramped by being near WiFi, I find a cheap thin ChromeOS client (ideally with a 3:2 display) works substantially better. I have been code-server'ing from a

Yeah I had a similar reaction. Chalk it up to the chum bucket fatigue at the end of listicles. I am recently considering that imagery on the web is too powerful. It can be detrimental or subversive to my attention. I feel rejuvenated from H

Binary trees during the hiring process for software engineers is not a part of the entire industry. I'd be surprised if it was even the majority. But it is prevalent, and posts pop up here regularly disparaging it. Places lean into Goo

That's not a fair reading. You're conflating success with scale, something the parent post explains has a fractal of unwanted externalities.

Yep, I think that's the way. No matter the vocation. Cut out the management tier as much as possible between you and your customer.

Sorry to hear that it wasn't working well for you. I'm sure there's a pile of edge cases yet to resolve in Wayland and its compositors. I can only say that for my experience on this very bleeding edge of hardware, kernel, til

Just one anecdote, but one that might temper expectations: A friend of mine with two decades of experience who'd already proven herself indispensable at a famous (and completely dysfunctional) NYC French restaurant looked around for th

My sway config has `output eDP-1 scale 1.25`. I started out with 1.5 liked it but eventually felt text still a little too large. At 1.25 I am finding I need to bump font size up with some sites. I've not seen tearing or any other graph

About a month back I decided it's long past due for me to try a tiling window manager. I've been rocking a DIY edition running Manjaro Sway community edition. There's been a learning curve coming from ChromeOS but I'm ec

My hunch is that the minds behind Windows 10 being the last Windows have moved on. New blood needs a reason for a promotion.

I've recently embraced my petty little self dinking around with Manjaro Sway. Changing a line in a config file to put the waybar anywhere I please, and storing that config file in a dotfiles repo so that the next time I need to set up

Unfortunately modern Windows is a goodbad pile of everything that came before. You still have to hack the registry for certain problems.

My pet peeve is 'third world' (in lower case), originally intended as Third World (in upper case). An alternative presented by certain countries as the Cold War heated up. Binding together to resist ceding functional sovereignty t
