I was nerdsniped by a coworker, who was talking about personal projects. She was working on an wine-rack / cabinet that held a specific temperature. Key to the design is a Peltier module to pump the temperature to the ideal for wine storage.

CUI's application note on Peltier modules was very well written and a joy to read. I've barely touched on the physics of this subject, but it was so clearly written that I was able to understand the overall design process to use this kind of device.

Overall, Peltier modules are far less efficient than classic "compressor" refrigeration units. But Peltier modules are far smaller and far simpler to operate: just apply voltage, and away you go. As such, Peltier modules are the ideal easy-to-use tool for hobbyists, even if its not quite as efficient as what the professional HVAC people use.

Yes, that was definitely part of it. In the town we purchased in (near Boston suburb) the median home value is > $1 million, so that extra 2.5 percent is a lot of money.

In our last homebuying experience, we lost two houses to other buyers. In both cases, our offer was higher than the closing price by 5-10% BUT our buyer's agent was from a different agency than the sellers. In both of those cases, the people who got the house were represented by someone from the same agency as the seller.
Thanks! Funnily enough I found it just hours before I saw this article posted on HN
This would be good advice if there were a unitary "we" who had already agreed to pursue the least-cost route to climate stabilization. But Californians can't force Wyomingites to cut their emissions, the EU can't force Americans to cut their emissions, and so on. Human emissions are going to continue beyond the point where feedback loops can be damped simply by cutting back on combustion. When the warning is "only 12 more years" to finish a decarbonization process that should have started 30 years ago, you know that the problem won't be solved optimally.

It's tragic that everyone is going to pay more because humans couldn't coordinate soon enough to just do the smart thing, but that's how it is. The IPCC is discussing negative emissions strategies not because they're cheaper than cutting emissions but because humans are not implementing deep emissions cuts fast enough.
SPAs become necessary when the user experience requires bells and whistles, like cross-widget consistency of like/friend request counts (the original use case of React IIRC).

It's not "you ain't gonna need it," it's "you are gonna need it, users will judge you by your fluidity, sure it's overkill right now, but the overhead may be less than the pain of a frontend rewrite since you may need it soon."

I've often thought that if there was a way to gradually codegen a fluent React codebase from Django/Rails/Laravel server-focused frameworks, and move template-by-template into a rich frontend + API, a lot more people would start with those server-focused frameworks, because there wouldn't be a need for a full rewrite. It would be a holy grail for our industry and let us develop business apps way faster. Not an easy problem to solve. Email me if anyone reading this wants to chat though!
You probably need the right tool for the job. I'd argue that react, Vue, and company are only best for true web _applications_, that is highly stateful projects that are more akin to standard desktop apps than web pages, ex: google docs.

If you need server side rendering that could be a sign that what you have is a lot of public indexable information and that most often describes a traditional web site instead. In that case your "old school" rails or laravel solutions are almost definitely a better choice.
That depends on how many/how frequent your stops are. Here in the north of the UK, a 30 minute journey on an urban bus could pass 60-80 stops, many of which will see no-one wanting to get on/off

What about all of the contractors that they hire that are basically sole proprietorships?

I know a lot of former Googlers that do project based work for them. This will often include a former Googler that gets hired for a project, who then will hire a few freelancers that they know to work on the project with them. Are these small shops going to have to pay health benefits for their friends that come together to work on a short project?

All DRM solutions eventually fail. It's an endless race. Companies pour millions and millions into media DRM, and yet all of the content is cracked and uploaded on pirate sites, without fail. They don't seem to understand how much of a waste their efforts are, and the government doesn't seem to realize how pointless, and stifling of innovation and competition laws like DMCA are.
> Then even if you get rid of the carbon, the temperature stays higher because the ice is gone and is no longer reflecting light back into space. And the ice is from the last ice age, it doesn't just refreeze on its own -- especially now that the temperature is higher.

Check the historical data on CO₂ levels from antarctic ice. It correlates perfectly with the ice ages (we had samples of ~400K years covering 3 previous), and guess what, we are now on the brink of a next one.

Once you’ve shared an entire notebook then anything added to it should be visible to other people with access to that notebook? I don’t use the team version, I just share a couple notebooks for collaborative projects (writing a comic, planning a cross country move) and it’s pretty seamless. Aside from “oops it defaulted to the wrong notebook and now I have to acknowledge that this note will (now/no longer) be shared with N people if I move it to the right one, why can’t I tell it to stop reminding me of this”
Depends where. Suppose it's the evening rush hour, and the bus route is along a business district, headed toward a train station. The bus is basically picking people up at multiple locations and then everyone gets off at the station.
Trolley buses usually can to an extent - the trolley arm can usually handle the 3m swing or so it takes to pass another bus.

The Netflix issue isn't really DRM, it's just a way to minimize bandwidth[1]; they found HQ 720 encodes to be sufficient quality for most consumers. I personally find it lacking.

My reading of https://www.aclunc.org/docs/ACLU-NC_2019-03-28_Letter_re._El... is that they didn't take the devices out of his sight/control, they just demanded he unlock them and hand them over.

> CBP officers searched Dr. Gal’s wallet and all his luggage, and asked questions about everything they found. When they discovered Dr. Gal’s Apple-issued electronic devices, the officers first asked Dr. Gal to pull up his itinerary on his mobile phone, and then to hand the unlocked device over to CBP. Dr. Gal responded that he would email them the itinerary, but that he would need to speak with a lawyer and his employer before giving CBP officers full access to his mobile phone.

...

> Moreover, there was no reason for any CBP officers—TTRT or otherwise—to detain and interrogate Dr. Gal or his devices. Notably, CBP officers did not confiscate and retain Dr. Gal’s devices, which they were authorized to do under the Directive and presumably would have done if they truly felt that they possessed a basis for detaining Dr. Gal or keeping his devices. See Directive, § 5.3.3. Instead, CBP officers proceeded to demand that Dr. Gal provide immediate, unlimited access to his devices.
So far as I can tell, this is Wayland-only, and even then still considered experimental.

Many taxi rides are now app-dispatched, or street-hailed, which don't need telephone dispatchers.

In Vancouver, when I was taking night taxis 3 times/week, Yellow Cab only had one dispatcher during off-peak times. She'd handle my dispatch in ~30 seconds, and her line was rarely busy.

In fact, telephone taxi dispatch was only a big thing in the brief span of time after the ubiquitous nature of cell phones, but before the ubiquitous nature of cell phones with apps.
Stupid question: why are Google engineers so obsessed with promotion? I'm sure any entry-level engineer there makes more than I ever have in my life, and anyone who hasn't cashed in their billion-dollar startup lottery ticket by now is far too late to the party to ever do so.

What exactly is the benefit of promotion? Is a 6-figure salary and all the perqs in the world not enough? At all the places I've worked, from tiny startups to big stable companies, I haven't seen this phenomenon. Does Google's rapid rise simply attract the sorts of people who feel they deserve it?
Seems easier to buy a "burner" at home though, and then it's indefinitely reusable.

"Despite the mystique, coding is not an art."

I would think it is much more of an art than writing magazine articles. Anyone can be taught to write book-reviews, even coal-miners.

Coding is like making new calculations per each new program. Sure everybody with reasonable intellect can be taught to do that. But it's still an art. Not everybody wants to do that. You need some inclination.

But I guess what the author is saying is that he was "mystified" by what is coding before and is not so mystified anymore having been explained how it works.
I think it actually went over yours (from the article):

The 'next bus' signs around here are all based on realtime GPS-tracking from the buses ('free wifi' is often piggy backed on the data connection the bus thus has to maintain.

I've seen buses run so late that they bunch-up and even to the point where they asked us to switch to the front bus so the rear bus could be taken out of service, once, and never seen the displays at the stops get too confused.

People keep saying it, and it never really ceases to be true, but the cargo cult prevails, and the rituals continue. Maybe someday the mysterious sky whales will appear again, if we keep waving our magic wands as we know the foreigners did, to summon and command them.

Seriously though, it's pretty tiresome to see another moronic framework rear its head. The real reason the treadmill exists is to break the will of the seasoned developers that would puff their ego, and demand to be paid handsomely.

The promise of front end frameworks is realized by startups when using a BaaS (backend as a service) - like Firebase.

The idea is that you only have to worry about one environment (the browser - yeah, I get the irony) and one deployment instead of multiple (the former plus backend deployment, monitoring, etc.).

The second you start worrying about SSR (server side rendering) you’re suddenly taking on the complexity of writing a backend again.

I'd say MCAS is a predictable business hack that resulted from terrible regulatory pressure.

Airplane certification is expensive for both manufacturer and airlines that might want to fly it. So there is a quicker process if you just make minor revisions, a reasonable compromise on the surface. Certification is so expensive and not having to retrain pilots is such a huge selling feature it creates a pressure to make planes that meet the same type requirements rather than design new airframes.

Boeing is all set to design a new airframe to replace the 737 that will be more fuel efficient and be built for today's point to point flights. Along comes airbus with the a320neo (new engine option) that kills the 737-800 on fuel efficiency and Boeing panics. They scrap 2020 plans for a 737 replacement and design the MAX. Now the problems mount. Fuel efficiency needs turbines that spin slower but have more surface area and are therefore larger. 737 is a low slung plane, dating back to hub and spoke flight concepts where the 737 might land places that don't have jetways. Since the plane is so close to the ground, Boeing has to move the engines forward so they can raise them. This generates more lift than previous 737s, but to meet same type requirements the plan has to be the same. Not meeting same type means they can't sell to airlines like southwest who only fly a single type and any airlines who do commit will have to spend training dollars, raising the total cost of operation without adding anything to the bill of materials.

Enter MCAS, a system designed to meet the same type regulation with disastrous unintended side effects. Side effects made much worse by the fact pilots don't know the system even exists since this plane is the same as every other 737 as far as they know.

I don't think the same type regulation should be scrapped since it would stop things like fuel efficiency gains during an airframe's lifespan, but there needs to be a same type minimum training and documentation that has to be done even if the only thing you change is thickness of the paint. If anything the definition of what meets same type should be slightly expanded allowing more flexibility in what can be changed. Combined with mandatory training for all subtypes (but still much shorter than different type training) the perverse incentive to make the plane behave exactly the same is removed. That leaves room for the better technical fix to win the day rather than the one that will meet the regulation. Training costs will go up some, but less than full different type certification.
If I have direct physical access to your laptop, I can just put a hardware keylogger or rootkit in it. I don't see how any form of secure boot would be of much relevance in that scenario.

We used to say the same thing about Gigapedia (later library.nu) and had the same sentiment about Smiley (the admin).

And similarly about Grooveshark.

The truth is that, these types of things always come to an end. It is of utmost importance and urgency for the Sci-hub infrastructure to be made distributed and resilient.

This make me thing, could it be possible to set up a Smart Contract in some blockchain to achieve a similar thing? (I understand that this works by using user/passwords provided by some people, so it may not be feasible given the easiness to look at the information). That way the system will be very resilient given the nature of blockchain.

Nevertheless, I think I give more merit to Library Genesis. Even though the concept of Sci-Hub is very good, it is mainly a proxy... whereas Library Genesis actually is saving human knowledge.

Still using Evernote. Haven’t had the sync problems some describe. Still storing everything I put in it. Still isn’t trying to cram my rich tech notes into Markdown, still isn’t a web view pretending to be a native app.

I’m not using it for the original grandiose attempts to Remember Everything. It’s just my notebooks. It’s great to have all my notes for a project in one shareable place. And I’m still paying for it, like I’ve been doing for most of its lifespan.

Every now and then I look into the competition and nothing feels worth the hassle of trying to switch. I’ll do it if Evernote collapses as a company or if I end up working somewhere I’m forced to use a different collaborative note platform and end up liking it more. I got too many other things to worry about to hassle with it until then.
> invalidate their legal defences against people downloading Netflix movies.

I highly doubt that. A ToS violation is still a ToS violation (in the case of Netflix, which is expressly a streaming service), and copyright infringement is still copyright infringement. The legal protection that's afforded to DRM itself is something that's literally only useful to you as a content holder if you're looking to abuse copyright and go far beyond what copyright law actually grants you! That's what makes the whole notion so problematic in the first place.
From the friendly article: The benefits will not extend to independent contractors, who are self-employed, but they will extend to "vendors," employees that work for companies that are under contract with Google. "Vendors" include those who work in Google's cafes, transportation services and more."
The rail infrastructure is government operated, but train companies that are responsible for all customer interaction is not. SJ is just as government-owned as SAS. The rail is basically like the airport, and the train companies are like airlines.

The general problem is the lack of competition. Between two destinations you usually have the choice between multiple airlines, but for trains there is usually only one. Between malmö-göteborg-stockholm there is the fast train alternative but it is arguable if that actually serve as competition. With air-travel you got multiple airlines and multiple resellers.

Swedish rail operate like a monopoly, which is in my view the main reason why its both expensive and terrible at the same time.
