8601 gang indeed :sunglas:

some claim that was the inspiration for nushell: powershell but less verbose and more bashy

The Unicode bars aren’t actually stored; that’s just the graphical representation of the table datatype which you can think of as JSON

that’s what i would do too—a JSON response. or is that not what “JSON API” means?

how should a REST API respond to the client sending a URL the ends in a string instead of a numeric ID? like api.social/users/ceeforayteen instead of api.socail/users/11037

how would you return metadata or more detailed error codes?

back then stereo was a novelty apparently. novelty as in novelty song

Here’s Angel the drag queen from Rent:

granted the movie version is a ways less potent than the stage musical you get the idea

You mean weirder. A ways weirder.

Weekly would make the weird bursting even worse.

to be fair, a minority of video creators (and nearly no subreddits) have very long or sporadic upload schedules, which would make the MAU metric be weird bursts. MAU works for regular content which Reddit pretty much always is while only the top YouTube creators do that.

The article mentions that and explains it as gandalf_ did.

The article didn’t say China is driving its development (like you say Europe would have researched regardless); it says China is driving its adoption including in foreign nations. The article does leave out European research’s contribution to the cheap production of wind turbines, but the article’s claim is that China’s production and foreign policy is driving new adoption.

that’s Fallout

I’m concurring on wind and smart grids but dissenting on solar and batteries.

Interesting: looking at the https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/china-energy-transition-review-2025/how-chinas-transition-is-reshaping-the-global-ener/ section of the report, they keep combining “solar and wind” as one category, and evidence suggests that China is a ways ahead in research measured by patents deemed competitive in solar while a similar amount behind in wind, though they are far ahead in both when measured by research citation counts. The sheer size of China might also be at play here.

Like I said after my semicolon (;), that it’s a statistical truism doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect#Statistical_and_better-than-average_effect One can prove that this effect will always exist for statistical reasons? That’s good to know, that not-so-competent people are more prone to overestimating.

Nevertheless, low performers’ self-assessment is lower than that of high performers.
