Yes, exactly.

I suppose the vapor pressure could be lower than that for water, if there were effectively none in the air already. That would only be more effective than sweat on very humid days. You would be wetting your wet bulb with two different liquids.

The trick is to find one better than water that is also non-toxic, non-flammable, non-carcinogenic, and non-polluting. It would almost be easier to just remove all that water from the surrounding humid air, so that sweating works to cool you down again....

The phase-change material between liquid and solid would work better, but still requires a separate cooling technology to "recharge" it. And phase-change material still works better in building walls than in clothing. So you're right back to keeping your whole building cool, rather than a specific person.

You could also strap a personal radiator to your back, but no one wants to work on the tropical plantation in the first place, much less do it inside spacesuit-like apparel.

She did change. She's a bit more moody and stressed now. She is a stay-at-home mom, so that is most of her life, but I encourage her to grow and do others things, be it go into town, do volunteer work, or take some classes. Whatever.

I want her to be the best person she can be, and that will involve more compromise on my part: hosting a single dad's night with the kids, entertaining the kids more, cooking dinner, washing the dishes. Had a long day at work and the dishes need to be done? Beat her to it and do them. It'll pay dividends.

You are/will be with a human being with flaws and complex emotions. Try to be patient, vulnerable, and understanding. And DEAR GOD ALMIGHTY, stay faithful.

That said, I'm a crappy husband. I'm often moody myself, stressed, a bit of a dick. I try not to beat myself up too bad anymore. I treat everyday like that Groundhog's Day movie. I just try to be better the next day and make my apologies when I need to.

If he has more work than people the options aren't to regularly expect your employees to work overtime or turn down work. The answer is to hire more people. After this many years in business the owner should have a handle on his turnover rate and should be staffing appropriately so that loss of an employee doesn't leave him severely understaffed for an extended period of time.

If those in your industry are finding it hard to attract quality employees then it is likely that your industry is not offering the proper compensation to attract those employees.
Microsemi can use a 111MHz clock for their RISC-V implementation but they recommend a 70MHz limit on the milspec FPGAs. If you scroll down in the readme, they list some other max clock rates for other chips. Also, you can usually mess around a bit with the timing by either changing the seed that the synthesizer is using to place and route or by manually placing and routing signals if you have a high LUT utilization and the tool is struggling with automatic placement.
Sorry to burst any bubbles here, but this is s very incomplete implementation.

You couldn’t run anything but small toy programs on this machine. This is more like what a student would build in an undergraduate course in computer architecture.

For example, there is no MMU, no debug support, no traps, no interrupts, no exception handling, no OS privledge levels, no FP, no memory controller etc.

Of course, one wouldn’t implement all of these in a few hours.

The fact that this is RISCV is somewhat of a red herring as you could do a similar thing with a restricted subset of MIPS or ARM or even x86 as they do in UT Austin’s comp arch class.
>As with children, we don’t debug these networks; we educate them

Mostly we aren't educating young children. Rather, they are the recipients of memes (e.g. words, waving). These are ways of behaving in context. The transmission is mostly unintentional and unavoidable.

It has been speculated that if we tried to educate children how to walk and how to talk then they wouldn't succeed at either! Yet they succeed and improve these skills indefinitely. By contrast, arithmetic is intentionally and exhaustively taught, yet most adults cannot perform it.

Anecdotally, for every feature I’ve wanted of DDG, I’ve found an old post where someone on their team says they’re looking into it. For some I’ve found multiple posts, going back over a decade! Always the same “looking into it”.

I use DDG, but I put them in the category of companies too afraid to say “no, we won’t do that feature” or “we like that idea, but it’s low priority so we don’t know if we’ll ever get to it”. Whichever features they have, I use; the features they promise, I ignore.

Are there any resources you recommend for learning to make good diagrams? Ie, I love documenting things but I don't have experience in drawing diagrams. I don't know conventions for displaying order of execution, what arrows should indicate (in A->B is A giving information to be? is B requesting information from A? etc).

Are there any good tutorials/classes/whatever on drawing good diagrams? Good at conveying information, but also consistent with what educated people would expect?

It's not too hard to build a basic processor that can execute enough of an ISA to do something 'real' such as boot Linux, especially if you can craft the kernel build to keep it as simple as possible.

First the complexity comes in fully implementing the whole ISA. Yes RISC-V has an advantage over ARM/x86 in that it will have less cruft, but the complexity in ARM/x86 doesn't exist for no reason. It's driven by real software requirements so RISC-V will need similar complexity if it wants to seriously challenge either architecture (with the advantage they can learn from the previous mistakes made and thus implement things more cleanly).

Second it comes in verifying your design, especially around the fun corner cases. There are plenty of bugs that occur when a series of rare things happens at once (maybe involving some obscure areas of the ISA) which can be very hard to track down. Unless you can successfully hunt down and fix these you'll end up with a phone or a computer that occasionally crashes for no good reason.

Third is making it hit your power and performance targets. It's one thing to say you have a 256-bit data path and can issue 4 instructions per cycle with out of order execution. It's quite another to build such a design so it can actually sustain decent throughput on real software whilst hitting a decent clock frequency and remaining within power budget, especially when you have all of the various complex bits of ISA to deal with.

If you read the article, though, people are particularly frustrated about how the cars, which are purposefully programmed to err on the conservative side, are slow and halting where other drivers could handle a T-intersection with ease.

Honestly, it sounds like the same kind of frustration I hear with people reacting to elderly, overly cautious drivers.

The problem with context isn't necessarily the interface, it is that it is "viral".

If you need context somewhere along a call chain, it infects more than just the place you need it — you almost always have to add it upwards (so the needed site gets the right context) and downwards (if you want to support cancellation/timeout, which is usually the point of introducing a context).

Cancellation/timeout is important, so of course there have been discussions of adding context to io.Reader and io.Writer. But there's no elegant way to retrofit them without creating new interfaces that support a context argument.

Cancellation/timeout is arguably so core to the language that it should be an implicit part of the runtime, just like goroutines are. It would be trivial for the runtime to associate a context with a goroutine, and have functions for getting the "current" context at any given time. Erlang got this right, by allowing processes to be outright killed, but it might be too late to redesign Go to allow that.

I'm ignoring the key/value system that comes with the Context interface, because I think it's less core. It certainly seems less used than the other mechanisms. For example, Kubernetes, one of the largest Go codebases, doesn't use it.

> Even on protected bike lanes the right hook is still a significant risk.

That's because the infrastructure design is deficient here (which is putting a straight through lane to the right of a right turn lane). Either the cyclist needs to stay in the lane that's meant for straight through traffic, or there needs to be some form of intersection control that only allows traffic to proceed in a phased fashion like a traffic light.

For the latter option, the light would only allow cyclists to proceed through the intersection or allow other vehicles to proceed through the intersection, but not both at the same time.

As someone who attempts to follow the letter of the law, I experience quite a few incidents of aggressive driving. The complaints here are really just demonstrating how bad humans are at driving - the frustration probably arises due to the fact that they are unable to intimidate the driver in front of them with aggressive behavior.

> One woman said that she almost hit one of the company's minivans because it suddenly stopped while trying to make a right turn

By following the correct speed limit and following distance, you will have ample time to react to any silly behavior. Not that I for one second believe that a self-driving car would make a sudden stop in order to make a predetermined turn.
These days, there isn't much advantage. You'd be much better off using a well supported third party vm implementation like coreclr for instance.

The downside of electric heat pumps is that they simply don't work when it gets too cold outside. They can't push the thermal gradient hard enough and end up switching to inefficient resistive heat. Go far enough north and even the resistive heat doesn't work very well and everybody uses gas.
A relatively new podcast has a really enlightening episode on the bail system [1]. Episode two. Highly recommended.

The big takeaways for me:
- the process for setting bail prices is very opaque, with little accountability. Many districts have extraordinary or unmanageably high bail for common crimes.
- if you are poor, and can't afford bail, you either have to stay in jail, meaning you are apart from your family, unable to work, or more often than not, pay a bail bondsman a non-refundable amount of money to get you out of jail, meaning, before you are charged, before you are guilty (or innocent), you end up paying a fine.

Yeah, all drugs can have big negative impacts on people’s lives if not taken in moderation. This is true of legal recreational drugs like alcohol, and pharmaceuticals like opioid painkillers. But most people use these drugs responsibly.

I think if MDMA really does work great for PTSD in therapeutic settings, it’d be a worthwhile treatment, even though some percentage of patients would abuse it.

LandedCost.io HS Code Classifier
Pros and cons to each approach. I tend to recommend that it in the early days companies build up by employee, and then look at the metrics coming from the other direction as well to make sure everything makes sense (e.g. if you're forecasting that sales will triple, can you accomplish that with the hiring you've projected).

Main reasons for this are:

- It enforces discipline. It's easy to make hand-wavy assumptions like forecasting costs as a % of sales and calling it a day

- Small changes to the hiring plan can have a drastic impact on a startup's finances, including the timing of those hires

- If you tether all your expenses to sales, you can't really explore the downside, because you'll always be showing consistent profit margins

To your point though, I agree that it's important to look at expenses both bottom up and top down.
I struggle with this too. Perspective is really what helps me. Any amount of money that you make can be high or low relative to who you are surrounding yourself with. Try volunteering at a homeless shelter or getting involved with Habitat for Humanity or something. It's hard to feel bad about your salary when you work with people that just want a bowl of soup. On the contrary, if you hang around with a more affluent group than yourself, you may be more likely to feel like you are not making enough. Take a look at mean/median salaries in your area [1]. You are doing fine!

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they like conservative driving. "I would have risked that left turn, so you should have too. The person with the green light would have slowed down to avoid an accident, probably, and I would have gotten to the next red light 10 seconds sooner!"

You will also hear this when talking about less-capable drivers ("get off the road, grandma!") or less-capable vehicles ("I hate having to slow down for bikes and drive carefully around them.").

And of course, nobody ever says "you're going 80, the speed limit is 55! slow down!"

As a result, traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for people from 8-24.
