There's a bunch of twilight power conditions in embedded systems that can screw up their function. E.g. brownouts that can lead to partially or fully destroying flash memory in a microprocessor system.

They are usually sporadic and no surge protection test will provide a guarantee against them.
FWIW they could have used a special-purpose dict guaranteeing order for that. I don't know if they ended up using the normal dicts but the proposal to keep kwarg ordering predates the new dicts, and the PEP even notes that it's unclear the new dicts would be merged.

Same with class attribute ordering, PEP 520 still talks about using OrderedDict, however it was only merged after the new dicts, and even if ordering was not defined at the time (as part of Python-the-language) PEP 520 could use this internal property just fine and the ordereddict-based version was stripped out, the PEP was essentially accepted as a no-op (the ordering properties would just be officially documented).

I don't expect any non-gamer to sit through a 40-minute explanation, obviously. However, I wouldn't call an hour-long game (including teach) a "huge time investment".

Do we really trust the results of polls anymore? After the 2016 election where all of the polls showed Hillary winning the election, I just don't trust them at all.

It's almost like people are treating polls like SPAM calls, and just tell them anything to keep them on the line as long as possible intentionally giving bogus answers.
It's just anecdotal, but I often saw it done in LA; weekly to monthly. Since I would get stuck in them I'd often seem them start or end them. I never once saw any correlation to road debris or emergency services.

Any staging for construction or emergency services were done with a slow moving truck dropping cones or flares put down in a zipper-like fashion, corralling cars into open lanes or into exits.
US is not really saying enough. I live with my gf in NYC and we had no need for a car. If I got one for free I would have tried to sell it as soon as possible.

Now we live in bay area suburbs with a dog, and one car is absolutely needed if you can afford it. If we had kids it would have been almost impossible without a car.

Cookbooks as written by a single chef are generally suggestions and collections of similar tastes, not static lists of every single recipe under the sun.

I regularly seek out cookbooks written by a handful of trusted chefs, and devour the information contained within them with great trust and pleasure.

I don't just go to the library and take out all the cookbooks I can carry home.

Partly because I don't have the time to read through and test every single recipe inside of them, make a decision about what's good for dinner, and then make that quickly for my family.

Traditional cookbooks exist because most of us are not chefs and we don't know what goes good with what.

If we did, we could easily make use of a cook's flavor bible which is essentially what this monolithic wiki-cookbook will become imho.

It takes 1 watt-hour to produce about 3.5 BTUs.

With a heat pump, for instance, you might be able to produce 5BTUs per watt-hour, because you're extracting heat from the environment (a very large heat source), which would be 140% efficient.

The paragraph you excerpted has your answer:

> The key to the system’s efficiency lies in the way it uses each of the multiple stages to desalinate the water. At each stage, heat released by the previous stage is harnessed instead of wasted. In this way, the team’s demonstration device can achieve an overall efficiency of 385 percent in converting the energy of sunlight into the energy of water evaporation.

You can't drink steam (and even bottling it is futile), so that heat has to go somewhere.

With counterflow systems, like ventilation systems for houses, the inlet and outlet temperatures are pretty close to each other, and the temperature on the 'inside' of the system is either much higher or much lower.

When distillation came up a month or so ago, several people pointed out that modern systems do not operate at ambient air pressure, so the temperature delta may be less than you'd imagine.

[edit: pedants gonna pedant]
Agreed. The teacher you have is vitally important.

I also had to take a lot of math classes, on my way to a BSCS.

The first time I took Calc I, I got a D. The teacher was the Director of the Math department, and by all reports, he was actually a good teacher. Probably a good teacher for grad students, but his style didn't work well for me.

The second time I took Calc I, I had a grad student as a teacher, and his style and method worked much better, because I really understood the material, and as a result I got an A.

Same thing happened for me with Calc III. Ironically, I got the same grad student as my Calc III teacher as I had for Calc I. And with the same result -- his style and method really worked well for me.

Now, if you really want to have your butt kicked across the room, torn to shreds, and then handed back to you, try Engineering Math, a.k.a, Differential Equations. I only barely escaped that one with my life -- and a very hard fought for C.
I’ve been harassing my dad for ages over his purchase of a WiFi-enabled LG fridge.

Neither of us know why it’s connected - but it is, and it proudly displays a WiFi icon with a backlit LED right above the water dispenser.

The only thing you can possibly gain from a WiFi-enabled fridge (it has no voice commands, no screen, etc) is just being monitored and/or hacked. There is literally no benefit to the consumer from having WiFi on that device.

I agree that screens are too bright. A part of my job is calibrating screens and the brightness they can achieve is alarming. Regulation in radiology requires a minimum luminance and the spec is vastly in excess of what I would use and far above what anyone sets when given the chance.

Wickedly high contrast ratios seem to be encouraged too and keeping the ratio down gets frowned upon. Some of the screens come out the box at close to 1000:1, which is too high but happens with a high luminance screen.
The first thing I usually do with a screen I use is dim it, and I long for iPad and iPhone screens that are dimmer. The lowest settings are too high.
It depends. Lots of stops are covered, but lots aren't. Sometimes there's someone sleeping/living on the bench in the covered area. Unlike the train stations, the bus stops don't have any signage showing when the next vehicle will arrive. However there's a phone number you can text to get a list of upcoming buses for your stop with ETA. There's also a website that shows the realtime bus locations. However they don't tell you how full the buses are, so you can spend 10 minutes waiting for a bus that just cruises on by past the stop

You can write an iterator yourself, no need to leave ?pairs idiom:

function sortpairs(t)
local keys = { }
for key in pairs(t) do
table.insert(keys, key)
end
table.sort(keys, function (a, b)
return tostring(a) < tostring(b)
end)
local i = 1
return function (t)
local key = keys[i]
i = i + 1
if key ~= nil then
return key, t[key], i-1
end
end, t
end

t = {a=10, c=20, d=30, b=40, 50}
for k,v,i in sortpairs(t) do
print(k, v, i)
end

> such that they would fall apart as soon as we stop putting energy into fixing flaws

This is not true. The only reason software needs constant updates is because new features are constantly being added to stay competitive. If you stop adding features, in theory you will eventually run out of bugs to fix as well.

The problem is feature creep. Software doesn't "decay," and thus does not need infinite maintenance.
Agree. We’re living with every choice being polled and chosen by those polls. There’s nothing worse for any policy than a bad poll. Unless it’s the seeming acceptance of around 43% being a majority for some.

Edit-it’s always worth considering the error bars on polls. News will gladly say A is preferred to B when their difference is well within error bars.
But the whole point is that some developer won’t expect that someone would run their code on an older Python, isn’t it?
People forget that most shows on radio or television were about the sponsor, and the content was secondary. What we're used to from the 70's through the 90's was a change toward more of a separation. We're now seeing the shift back.

In old radio serials, sometimes the actors would break character right in the middle of a scene and do a commercial.

TV news anchors actually wore sponsor patches on their suits, and the sponsor logos were on the set, in a very NASCAR fashion. If you're ever in Baton Rouge, the state museum there has an old preserved TV news set and you can see the sponsor logos on everything.

To add some more context - the trainsets can have up to 16 cars with a capacity of up to 1300 people. So basically up to 20800 people per hour.

Also 16 trains per hour means 3.75 minutes between trains. This is actually not that remarkable & we saw that in action last years in Hiroshima, with three trains scheduled from the same platform with departures 3 minutes apart.

This is doable due to a couple of factors:
- passengers are usually quite disciplined and know what to do, eq. people queue at the door before a stop for quick departure
- the trains stop exactly in the same place on the station, so the are markers for each card & door on the platform - due to this people can queue on the platform for their car right where the car will be once the train arrives
- the are marked areas near the door location on the platform for disembarking passengers, so they don't mix up with people waiting in the queue to get in - no chaotic "fan" of people around a car entrance with some trying to get in and others trying to get out at the same time as you often see on European train stations
- all Shinkansen are EMUs with all wheels powered, resulting in rather high yet still comfortable acceleration speed - due to this the tran can quickly stop in the station and the n rapidly speed up again

The end result is a train that comes in rather quickly yet manages to stop on the spot with centimeter precision. Then people disemabark, then people get in and the train can leave & pick up speed again. We timed it once & it all took about 90 seconds.
This has happened multiple times with Teslas, too.
I don’t disagree, and that’s what Apple did: they implemented the battery control panel which let you know your battery’s health, gave an alert when a bad battery was causing throttling, and extended a battery replacement program for affected models.

Nobody’s saying their initial fix wasn’t flawed, I’m only saying that “throttling is bad” is an ill-thought-out knee-jerk reaction.

I think its too early to tell if it will be sustainable economically.

I believe it will be sustainable, due to cloud hosting costs going down every year. If the trend continues federation/self-hosting might become the default way to operate software services (even non-social stuff). However, another trend that needs to continue is automation of monitoring and security updates.

In the meantime, if you want to take the fediverse for a spin. I am working on a few aggregator projects to help you explore the fediverse with minimal friction.

Python has had both ordered and unordered maps in the same languages for 10 years or so (OrderedDict was added to the stdlib in 2009).

In 2016, the standard dict was moved to a new and more efficient implementation (more compact & faster to iterate). It was naturally ordered, and so as a side-effect of this change and since the CPython devs did not explicitly scramble it, iteration on dicts became both deterministic and specific (it would always follow insertion order).

This was considered both a boon because conserving iteration order is strictly more useful than not doing it and a woe because it would cause compatibility issues with third-party implementations or further changes down the line as users would absolutely start relying on the iteration order even if it was still considered unspecified.

So in the next major release they decided to resolve the issue by making this behaviour part of the language. It restricts future design space, but they can always add an unordered dict as part of the stdlib if that ever truly becomes useful so meh.

Good for you, it’s great to hear. I _love_ being a parent, and I love working in an open-plan office, so it’s great that we can both be happy despite wanting different things from life. Maybe the common thread is being paid well, but even then, I know people on minimum wage that seem very satisfied.
The dealer purchased the car from Tesla at an auction according to Jalopnik, and as another commenter pointed out, the feature is documented on the Monroney sticker. It doesn't matter whether or not the first owner paid for the features or not. The car was re-purchased from Tesla (even though it was the dealer buying at an auction.) Tesla advertised that feature to the customer [the dealership], and it's value took the feature in to account.

Whether the original owner paid for the feature or not is irrelevant. The dealership paid for the feature, and it's on the Monroney sticker. Tesla can either honor the claims of the Monroney sticker, or face the consequences.

>> 1.5 gallons of fresh drinking water per hour for every square meter of solar collecting area.

So a football field could collect around 8,000 gallons of water per hour. Let's say you can get 5 hours of good sunlight per day = 40,000 gallons of water.

>> The team’s demonstration device can achieve an overall efficiency of 385 percent in converting the energy of sunlight into the energy of water evaporation.

>> Theoretically, with more desalination stages and further optimization, such systems could reach overall efficiency levels as high as 700 or 800 percent

So now we're looking at 80,000 gallons of water per day.

>> Unlike some desalination systems, there is no accumulation of salt or concentrated brines to be disposed of. In a free-floating configuration, any salt that accumulates during the day would simply be carried back out at night through the wicking material and back into the seawater.

>> In production, they think a system built to serve the needs of a family might be built for around $100.

Correct, if you trade-in your car to Tesla, they do not consider software upgrades as having any value. If you want to recoup any resale value for FSD you need to sell to someone other than Tesla.
45 minutes of board game I likely won't like is a lot. In any case, games popular among causual players (including me) tend to be much shorter.

Plus, no game that claims 45 in box or even take that long with experienced players ever take 45 min first time. It is usually double the claimed time.
Well, I enjoy playing it, and appreciate the message. The best bit for me is the auctioning of the properties, however.

Not having easily replaceable batteries is definitely the root problem. Everyone knows that batteries can't last forever and the weak link in having something last for years yet everyone is perfectly fine with non replaceable batteries.
