The land can be compact: shaped like a square with minimal perimeter. For the same area along a canal, with winding corners, it would seem like a far longer run. This is especially worse depending how inverters are since DC along long transmission is less efficient.

You should be using &0xFFFF for masking. Your mod is off by 1 too.

You're right, the code was correct but my comment above is wrong.

i had invested a lot into del.icio.us and other similar systems but what really killed bookmarks for me was the instability of URIs and how hard it was to search for the right page based on a title or bookmark name and not the contents. At the time, google was really really effective at search.

I remember the attitude was that solaris was for serious professionals and had the highest calibre of code. For the most part it seemed true and these were solid workhorses. But, i did end up finding concurrency bugs when they introduced their multi-core integer computing behemoth.

Our generation did not turn out fine. Phones are hugely a net loss for society. I stand by that.

Every living generation has a phone "problem", so that's not unique to one made up cohort.

Maybe. But how do we tell the effects of social media and smart phones apart from the multiple financial crises? The endless, incredibly costly Middle East forever wars? The huge rise in costs of houses, education and healthcare? The blatantly corrupt politics? Globalisation and the resulting loss of manufacturing jobs? The inaction on school shootings? The climate situation?

Maybe without perpetual distraction some of those problems wouldn't be as bad.

The issue I’ve observed is that good humans brainrot and let the AI do the thinking for them. Too many say LGTM and then push a PR.

It is and it isn't. Around 15-20 years ago, the EU economy was actually bigger than the US economy in total terms (not per capita). The issue is that the EU has stagnated, as has canada while the USA has been pulling away. Growth has been pretty terrible for both for a long time.

So what about the CETA (trade agreement) between canada and europe that isn't ratified yet. This feels like a hollow announcement for politicians.

Our oil travels across our country via the USA. We also depend heavily on USA refining in certain provinces. This will never happen.

The trade war was claimed to be in part kicked off by a trade deficit - meaning Alberta is simultaneously a major cause of the trade war (by moving so much of their oil south for things refinement, and contributing to the trade imbalance), and a stumbling block for Canada to effectively fight back. Tariffs on Albertan oil will be looked at (by Albertans) as the Liberal PM hurting them out of malice, instead of a cudgel to fight back against Goliath

The trade war tarrifs are punishing Alberta the least. Ontario and Quebec are taking more of it.

Precisely - Carney can't tariff Albertan oil without stoking seperatist rhetoric, which Smith is using as a political tool instead of stating outright Alberta will always be part of a Canada, and shutting down the [real or manufactured] movement

What I meant to say is the USA didn’t care about Alberta. They’re about supply management, subsidies in manufacturing and lumber and dairy and that. Alberta has their hands clean in this one.

It isnt just oil. The us also buys most/all of its natural gas import from Canada. That stuff isnt refined.

> back a response that's all Claude (and disorganized and not really making sense to boot

You’re absolutely right! They trusted but did not verify. Thats a load bearing point — they assumed intention from your question.
