@alex capitalism wins again, sometimes NZ is a bit too orthodox in that regard.

@alex the only NZ electricity bills I have experience with are electric kiwi back in 2020; since then, we've had it included in the rent.

The Ontario bill does not include profit either.

@alex In Ontario I do get a breakdown of costs, though not to the dollar for distribution vs transmission.
@koronkebitch I failed some midterms in undergrad!
@wollman so was the other 8/10!
@regehr tied high score!
@dongkwan welcome to mastodon! you'll find interesting people on the "live feeds" of this server.

High score, by a not-PL researcher: 8/10
Low score: 4/10
Many people get 6/10.

(The quiz doesn't track anything; it's purely client-side).

I was talking to someone at PLDI and the topic of novelty came up.

Here's a quiz! It randomly picks papers from PLDI 2014 and PLDI 2024. Can you tell which year each paper appeared in?

Tagging @regehr, who had something to do with the PLDI 2024 program...

PLDI 2014 or 2024?
