> In 1156 BC, the workers' pay was late and a representative, Amennakht (or Amen-nakhte), a scribe, went to the mortuary temple of Horemheb and negotiated with officials to dispense 46 sacks of corn to restore peace.[10][12] However this was only a portion of the rations the workers had been promised.

Is that a mistranslation? I don't think Egypt had corn for a few more thousand years.

I read this as 'Irish Dancers now guzzle....'

I'm sure they work up a sweat but probably not on the same order of magnitude

Characterizing Zed as a text editor is disingenuous.

Zed has documentation, go-to definition/usage, local/remote debugger, can run/debug individual tests, has git and markdown. Essentially all the core IDE functionality is there. All of these work as well or better for Rust in Zed than IntelliJ.

ByteCode decompilation is a very Java-specific thing and I've not used Zed for Java yet. I suspect that they'll get around to it eventually if they don't already have it.

I've never used database plugins in any IDE I've ever used so I can't compare/contrast between Zed and JetBrains products. However, as soon as I see an IDE gain a database plugin, I know it's the beginning of the end for that IDE. After the database plugin is the CSS minimizer, the JavaScript Bundler, I guess the AI plugin is the new hip thing. For the twilight years of my IntelliJ/CLipn usage, the first thing I'd do upon installation would be to go remove all the damn plugins.

Stage -1: `hexdump`, `xxd`, or whatever you use to write files to your filesystem.

Transverse pressure waves?

I still call it sound when I hear things under water. Gas isn't special.

When someone knocks on your door, you still say you heard the sound, even though the pressure wave was transmitted through the solid door material (before then being transmised to the gas in the room). Likewise, we still file a noise complaint when the neighbor is throwing a raging party, even though we are feeling the bass as much as we are hearing it.

Read it carefully. The growth in renewables exceeded the growth in electricity demand. The 60% figure is all forms of energy.

Stated another way, we could (hypothetically) stop building coal and gas fired electrial generation and we'd still have enough renewable growth to cover electrical needs.

There's certainly room to start offsetting non-electrical power usage, but that's a different ball game entirely. I'd be pretty happy if we got to a point where only transportation ran on oil. To do that, we need enough renewables to both offset growth (done) and to start shutting down non-renewable generation. Even if we did nothing, those plants have a usable service life of < 100 years so we're within a human lifetime of not needing them anymore.

AWS supports IPv6 and it's free, whereas IPv4 is not.
