Hmm. That’s a really complicated question/answer. It would depend on soil type, crop rotation and the kind of residue we are tilling in...

To be honest, we have great soil in CA and I can’t speak broadly ..but almost every big farm will have their own system. Broadly, there is standard tillage, bed disc system and strip/conservation tillage in CA.

Strip tillage is often conservation tillage and sometimes used near Davis/Sacramento area where our wheat and tomatoes are intercropped..(our most impressive crop) In Salinas valley , our lettuce producing ‘salad bowl’, they have almost always had minimum tillage protocols. A sub soiler/ripper. I know a farmer who rips it in the beginning of the season and discs it FOUR times before listing.

You can’t really make a decision without evaluating soil, moisture and soil microbial activity.

Having said that..I am interested only in small acreage farm automation..that is sub 100 acres ..2-3 times bed flipping vegetable growing farms. I don’t have experience with industrial ag systems. That’s like factory production assembly line. They got all their ducks in the row. My interest is in automation for small farmers and market farms. It’s super sub optimized market.

I would recommend a minimal till-no till approach focused on soil health. Maybe rip the fields every 2-3 years. Single pass implements will reduce compaction due to machinery but when you make a light farm bot, compaction of paths between short semi permanent beds shouldn’t be an issue. The holy grail would be a no toll system. But it’s not without its issues.

So..to your question. A single pass Solution with implements on a gang. Yes. It’s possible. But you have to remember that this would mean higher HP. Upwards of 200-350. At which point, it defeats the purpose of finding automation for small farms. Which small farm can afford those mega tractors? It becomes a scale/$ issue.

If it’s electric, then HP decision is even more complicated because now you have to decide between draft implements or PTO implements. And as that adds up, so does the weight of the tractor/pulling unit. And boom! We are back to ‘size matters’. We can only grow in 1000+ acre farms.

Small acreage automation is a difficult but interesting challenge. That’s why I am interested and also because right now because food crops are mostly Imported and cheap, Agtech doesn’t care. But that will soon change. Sooner than we expect. We should build.

Scrum: Why It Doesn’t Work. Perspectives from a Certified Scrum – By YuChao Sng
I ship. But I fall flat on my face when it comes to YouTube explainer videos and blog posts. I published 4 videos when I launched my app over a year ago and have been coasting on those ever since. I have so much new (and relatively) exciting content queued up. Why don’t I write and film? Because the editing experience is EXHAUSTING. I can’t “fix a bug in a video” like I can with a new feature. Every day, when I’ve got a few hours to work on my project the last thing I want to do is film a screencast. Honestly, my problem is my standards are too high (script, quality, music, flow, etc) and I’m just not good at it.

For those interested, here’s my app’s most popular YouTube video: https://youtu.be/hnqUP1CZd24

Even if you don’t “cook”, you can learn to be a food assembler.

Meal prep IIFYM style can be super easy. I cook a lot of things in my pressure cooker for 4 servings at a time (oats, chickpeas). I often just get veggie soup and add chickpeas for lunch. It’s way more satisfying than most of the quick things you can get near an office.

A lot of the staples that are disappointing when bought are amazing when you cook from scratch (aforementioned steel cut oats and chickpeas). Don’t get instant anything... it’s just too sad.

I feel like knowing that the questions were going to be about time made them really easy.
This happened to me in 2010. I love hiking, and when you get to the top of a mountain one of the things you do is look at all the other mountains and figure out which ones they are. It’s called name-that-peak. Sometimes at scenic overlooks there’s a nice hand-drawn placard with all the peaks labeled, so I wanted to make an app to do that.

When I started, there was kind of a website to do this already, but it was absolutely awful and I knew I could do way better.

So I did. I spent 100-150 hours working out all the math and coding up the program to reproduce that placard from terrain data. I still have all my notes. It was kinda slow — one panorama took 4-6 minutes to draw — but it worked.

And then I didn’t ship. Life got in the way, and it was always harder for me to do the second 50% than the first, even though in this case the first 50% was way harder.

Three years later, one of my friends shared an app with me, just released. It did the same thing. The author did a good job describing how I felt then too, how the app was good but I hated it anyway. I never used it, probably because I ended up moving overseas anyway to a place without free high-res terrain data.

That was my best chance to date to do something I’ve always dreamed about: make something cool that a lot of people love to use. Novel, good ideas like that don’t come along very often.
FYI I would happily pay a modest yearly subscription fee to any service that would save as much time as yours potentially does. Keep up the great work!
I'm generally in favor of nuclear power, but you can't argue that the (relatively) small amount of waste isn't super nasty. Last I heard we still don't have a good way of dealing with it.
Sometimes it's not just about shipping but also about knowing how to approach it and having the vision. Case in point - many many years ago, around 2004 or 2005, I built this stupid app with a couple of friends - it was a text message based gossip app where you can share updates on celeb spotting and subscribe to get notifications by tags or locations. Whatever. It didn't pick up understandably (it had like 200 users in our city), but we thought maybe we'll pivot it:

We aggregated the reports into a website with a nice feed, and then we thought, what if instead of one feed about celebs, people could just post whatever they want via text messages and others could follow them and get the texts or view the feed of these short (140 characters or so?) posts on a website? It would be kinda cool.

But mobile providers would not allow us to send media messages, and we thought the idea just kinda sucked and is not worth a start-up, especially since now we have group text messaging in newer phones! And MMS support that we don't have.

So yeah, I've basically written a proto-Twitter a bit before Twitter existed (the gossip version also predated Gawker Stalker by a year), but the harsh reality is that it didn't take off because of me and the people I worked on this with weren't made of the stuff of people who start billion dollar companies.
Haha oh. Yeah, assumed that the Dog definition wasn’t worthless. Indeed TS is structurally typed. And that’s nice!

Azul Systems (who today are mainly a JVM vendor) started by building large multicore boxes (Vega) to do Java workloads - there is an interesting tech talk about it:

They built a "really good JIT target" rather than direct bytecode for reasons explained in the video. Curious to hear from anyone who ever used one...
For backend web development I was somewhat disappointed to see that many of the new web frameworks (all async) allocate extensively on the heap (for example lots of Strings in their http request types.)

I mean it works but I don't understand why I would go to the bother of thinking about lifetimes when it seems performance would be similar to Kotlin / Swift / F#.
I'm not certain exactly how LLVM works so I am not sure this is the right question to ask but - How does Web Assembly relate/compare to LLVM? Does LLVM solve the problem of a single binary that can be run portably?
Also it depends on the country too I guess. Like in India the same is available for 99 rs / month (129 rs if you wish to get yt music).

Not sure how long this will last but it's been the same since launch, so it's really a no brainer not to upgrade.

Yeah, Android in 2011 could just run a connection in the background and actually work (assuming the client pings when idle / and adapts the ping interval to avoid stateful firewalls with low idle timeouts).

But iOS doesn't let you do background sockets, so you need push messages, and that's hard to coordinate between unrelated XMPP servers and clients. Of course, modern Android doesn't let you have background sockets either.
Mitochondrial Genome Editing
The STe and later machines added a new set of joystick ports on the left hand side of the machine (south of the cartridge port). But they were "extended joystick", DE-15 ports, semi-compatible with the Atari Jaguar.

But there's no reason they couldn't have put the original mouse/joystick ports on the sides, in a similar way. Put one on each side and then make the choice of which is mouse swappable, to be friendly to left handed users.

Not the best industrial design as it was. Kind of neat at first, but then a pain later.
`curl | bash` gets a bad wrap. From a security perspective (assuming you trust web pki), it's 100% no different than a) downloading and running a script, b) downloading a package and and installing it, c) downloading a binary blob and executing it, etc. I actually find that piping an install script to an interpreter is the easiest to audit of all the options because I can see exactly the changes that will be made to my system. I don't know where the whole "zomg pipe to bash is so insecure" vibe came from, but it's effectively
developer urban myth. The only improvement is if you somehow directly exchange keys with the vendor out of band with no web pki intermediate step and then verify the signature on the software you're installing... yeah.

> The only other situation I have run into this in practice with TypeScript is when I'm using a library that has slightly misdefined types.

Unfortunately there's no way to know which libraries have defined their types correctly, so you end up having to check the types you get back from every library you use.
> But don't use

This is just cargo-culting static typing: "If I avoid dynamic typing at all cost, the cargo crates will surely rain on down!"

You'll find that picking a language is more of a business decision than the sort of technical static-vs-dynamic checkbox test you might use to pick the language of your next weekendware.

This kind of absolutist rule of thumb is more flame bait than morsel of wisdom.
My Apple Watch has definitely increased my fitness. I've had it 428 days...and I've got a 428 day move streak going, and 60 consecutive perfect weeks for stand, move, exercise, and all rings.

This is definitely more activity than I was doing before the watch. According to the Health app on my iPhone, my average daily walking distance is 2-3x post-watch than pre-watch.

Turns out I'm as susceptible to psychologically manipulative gamification as any other random person.

>> webassembly is faster than javascript

> Everyone says this, but I would dispute it as misleading in a lot of cases. I've been experimenting a lot with wasm lately. Yes, it is faster than javascript, but not by all that much.

I think even if it is faster in general, you might lose all that advantage as soon as you have to cross the WASM <-> JS boundary and have to create new object instances (and associated garbage) that you never would have needed to create if you had used only one language.

Therefore moving to WASM for performance reasons on a project which crosses the language boundaries very often due to browser API access doesn't seem too promising to me.

I tried this feature of Tor Browser, using the first example I saw in TFA (www.propublica.org)... and was surprised to see that the .onion equivalent of the www.propublica.com home page... tried to make requests to third-party non-.onion cross-site surveillance trackers.

A separate concern, besides this choice of example, is why ProPublica is normally helping to leak the identities and intimate browsing behavior of people who visit their site, to some of the most powerful and invasive corporations, given this mission:

> ProPublica is an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force. We dig deep into important issues, shining a light on abuses of power and betrayals of public trust — and we stick with those issues as long as it takes to hold power to account.
Intel and Linaro have contributed SIMD support, although it might be harder than using something like C++.

Not only is the language open source, while during Sun days it was only free beer, there are several contributors, and Microsoft has acquired jClarity, started contributing to OpenJDK, gives parity with .NET tooling on Azure, alongside Red-Hat supports Java on VSCode.

Ah, even Java has had more talks at Build 2020 than F# or VB.

The only uncertainty is from the anti-Java, Oracle hating crowd, for everyone else, companies using IBM, Red-Hat, Adobe, SAP,.... products, it is business as usual.
Runnaroo has become my default search engine since a couple of months.

1. Search results are more relevant. In comparison to google. I noticed a reduction in spammy results like slant, fake blogs, gitmemory, etc. There is still room for improvement.

2. Claims to respect users' privacy

3. Languages other than English are handled fine. In this regard runnaroo is usable for everyday searches, unlike DDG. Queries in a foreign language produce results of the same or lower quality than those from google.

I know the author is reading this, so here is some feedback.

- Make the search engine available for firefox mobile. I know there is an extension but it can't be installed on phones.

- Improve the behavior of the search box in mobile phones.

- Keep on fighting spammy results

Mechanically, ETrade does not allow you to fund your account via Credit Card. You could request a check from your credit card company I guess...

步 and 歩 are similar for sure, and for people aware of what's in Han unification, it's probably not that bad.

But the problem is, there are many characters very similar to each other, with a difference of one stroke already. 今 and 令 for example, are both simplified Chinese, but with completely unrelated meaning.

So, when you see a character that looks familiar, how can you tell whether you are looking at a character that you don't know or a character you know but rendered in a different language?

Why Investors Have Learned to Love Wind and Solar Power
You arguing completely besides the point. Yes the age when you are an "adult" is completely arbitrary and a subjective opinion that differs with every person.

However for a society to function we have seen the need to come together and decide on some objective metric where you are allowed to perform certain actions that have the potential to cause yourself harm if misused.

You giving your personal opinion that X years of age is not "adult" has no real bearing in this discussion.

It would be more fruitful if you suggested some clear objective measure on how to validate if someone is legible for trading options because this seems to be an action were irresponsible acts can lead to huge demise.

People can drive cars at 16, potentially leading to loss of own life, and others, if misused. Do you have an issue with that as well?
Hidden marketing for Rust by Mozilla assholes. Rust has no future. It will die. Stop shilling too much. STL Is great. C++ is the king.
Actually renewables can scale very well by covering much more area and thereby averaging out the wind and solar fluctuations across the country. The technology for achieving this is High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) a technology that has also been rapidly getting cheaper along with renewable technologies because its costs are driven by semiconductor technologies getting cheaper every year.

> I think this is where everyone goes off the rails a bit, and I want to explain why: Reddit can't be a community. Reddit is too big to be a community. Reddit is too diverse to be a community.

Around 2004/5, it wasn't too big or too diverse. They didn't even have comments at first, much less subreddits. Once comments showed up , I figured "oh well -- now it's no different from slashdot." Of course I was so wrong. I enjoyed coming to the comments after reading the article and seeing lots of interesting commentary.

Right you are that subreddits span quite a spectrum. I chuckle to myself when I overhear conversations about reddit pro/con. It's clear that some people judge reddit by the default front page and they have a very different experience from mine. I've had no thumbnails as the default for probably almost as long as the user preference was available. The combined difference in content and UI between "old" reddit-no-thumbnails-my-subscriptions and new reddit-popular is night and day. It's two vastly different sites.

I can confess to being a part of the problem, though. I started the bad habit of reading the title then the comments and skipping the article. And once imgur appeared, I upvoted the onslaught of mindless memes while never taking the time to consider thoughtful articles. They are after all, the "it" that we have supposedly "redd". I'll put in a plug for /r/TrueReddit - there's often interesting content there.

What I found ironical with flutter was, besides everything being a 'widget' in flutter it doesn't actually support creation of android widgets or iOS widgets[1].

And that I'm worried that Google might just pull the plug as I feel the community is not in the position to continue development without Google's involvement unlike React Native.

Also, I'm not entirely sure about the future of Dart language now that we have TypeScript. Overall I feel flutter to be a risky investment, I personally would rather develop PWA in-spite of Apple's explicit hurdles(which I think may change after couple of anti-trust litigations).
