I'm using FreeCad for simple 3d-printing, and it mostly works, has all the features I need, but you have to struggle with everything.

The dependencies between sketches break when you change anything earlier in the chain (like drawing a circle for a hole in a wall that was 6 polygons and now that wall is 8 polygons and the circle jumps to another corner or somewhere) because automatic naming of stuff isn't consistent.

You can work around this by always using datum planes as the basis for each sketch but it's very inconvenient and makes editing sketches hard because datum planes occlude other stuff on the sketch. There's a display mode that renders only lines, but the planes remain semi-transparent and mess with selecting points behind them.

Parametric modeling is possible but it also breaks very easily if you edit anything up the chain because of the above problems, to the point it's almost useless.

You also can't export to anything used by 3d printers other than .stl, and the tesselation configuration is weird (you have to change configuration of minimal angle between faces generated from round surfaces in totally unrelated configuration tab - it took me a long time to find it).

I haven't tested 90% of the features, including the motion joints.

Also it crashes sometimes (like once a day) - you have to save often.

But it's free and it mostly works and I didn't had to deal with the licencing and registration, and it runs locally and I can use git for backups, so that's good.

I just use two excel (or to be more precise, Libre Office Calc) pages. In one I put all the expenses divided by month, than type. Each one has a short description

In the other I plot graph of the data in the first page, In particular graphs covering each month, each year and last 5 years.

Yup, pretty happy with our move from k8s to ECS. Almost there.
Sure, lets go with your theory that "reductionism is the technical norm". Lets represent "health" as the identity function in Lambda calculus.

λx.health

This is equivalent to the English sentence "health is health".

Reduce it for me. Translate it into an expression roughly equivalent to "health is a function of...."
If you do 20h overtime, that just means you spent 20h extra on this sprint, and SP/h should be unaffected (thus also the burndown chart).

In my experience time isn't recorded, or isn't recorded very accurately, especially when it's unsanctioned and unpaid overtime. Burndown charts report the daily change rather than the hourly change. Consequently it looks like stories are moving quickly but really it's just that more effort is being put in every day, but the chart doesn't reflect that.
You've never seen my basement's outages posted here either.
It was just a little flare to add to the comment :) But I guess a lot of people took that part far more seriously than the first part.
Interesting. Having grown up in the southwest I had only ever been exposed to creosote as in the bush that gives off the incredible smell when it rains in the Sonoran desert.

Reading on creosote tar and was interesting to see no citations (on Wikipedia) for the toxicity, and yet a couple studies against it:

“A 2005 mortality study of creosote workers found no evidence supporting an increased risk of cancer death, as a result of exposure to creosote. Based on the findings of the largest mortality study to date of workers employed in creosote wood treating plants, there is no evidence that employment at creosote wood-treating plants or exposure to creosote-based preservatives was associated with any significant mortality increase from either site-specific cancers or non-malignant diseases. “
Boeing Dreamliner: A Manufacturing Nightmare
Noticed something odd today I think is connected to this.

The other day we started using Access Advisor, and we found some of our KMS key policies with a Principal of '*'.

It wasn't marked as globally open, so we planned to fix them a little later.

This morning we found that status had changed.

While we were in the wrong to begin with, it was a little surprising to find the interpretation of the key policy changing overnight.

Of course it became our top priority and is now fixed.

I remember an article on HN a couple of years ago about the temptation to build a software system on specialty, "interesting" languages or libraries that seem adapted to your specific needs and desires.

But the downside is that it costs a lot to find people who can code in that language, there's little community support, and you run into equally specialized problems that are hard, expensive, and take a long time to fix.

It seems there are lessons that parallel this house experience.
That was my first thought as well, but then I noticed the "a pair" bit :)

And for me any app that becomes cross-platform loses some appeal. I do not swtich paltform when writing some code, so all those compromises and trade-offs made in the name of being cross-platform are a loss to me, not some gain.

Top RAM for I7 8700K: Pick Best Memory for Your Processor
As a service worker, here's the thing: the power dynamic is asymmetric. If you ask about my family, I can't treat you like i do a stranger who asks me. That is, it's none of your business. I have to keep in mind that my goal is to keep you as a paying customer and avoid you getting mad at me and complaining to my boss.

My goal is for you to buy the things you want and get out of my store for you to come back another day. I won't be rude and I'll try my best to help you, but I don't take my customers home with me to have a beer because I like my work to be separate from the rest of my life.

Be really careful that you aren't abusing a captive audience when you do this.

Volunteer with an organization helping refugees, the homeless, and realize that you make an insanely huge amount of money. Unspeakably huge. Arguably, unethically huge.

A week of your pay is more than many people make in a year. A day's pay, even.

https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17312819

If you _must_ compare to your peers (though I would add that a job is just a thing you do for money and your "peers" should be your fellow humans), chat with your European colleagues about pay.

The next time you get a pizza delivered, realize you make more in an hour than that person will make all day (roughly).

It's one thing if you're struggling to meet the basics of life, but at this point you're worrying about arbitrary nubers here and money, to some extent, is a made up fiction we all collectively decide is useful.

I mean, I make less than you, and I suppose I should feel bad, but I also get a month off a year, I see my kids on my lunch break (I work remote), I had paid paternity leave, and best of all, every worker around me, even the person behind the counter at the fish and chip shop gets these things too, which makes me happy. In my view, I suspect I'm richer than you in the ways I care about. Maybe you could try a similar reorienting of your values?
I was about to say the opposite (thankfully used equipment is abundant & cheap where I'm at).

There's also the DIY route.
I said this a bit facetiously after working with an organization that had massive troubles with GCP downtime early on, and a friend who works on their infra team and gives me reports of how often things go wrong. I guess it didn't translate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Lightning may coincide with rainfall, I've heard. If this is true one might presume less severe fires as a result.
So what's the right answer then?

If you build something to last 100 years, you leave little incentives for maintenance and all but guarantee a catastrophic failure a century from now.

If you build something to last 10 weeks, you're creating a lot of waste - wasted labor, money, energy and natural resources, involved in producing and shipping replacement parts, as well as performing the maintenance job. You're also making everything that depends on your construction more fragile - the system is always a couple weeks from catastrophic failure, so it won't survive a localized crisis - like a natural disaster, pandemic, economic problems, maintenance company going bankrupt, etc.

So what's the correct trade-off function[0] here? How can we minimize waste and maximize reliability, while ensuring necessary maintenance happens on time?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1556_Shaanxi_earthquake

>The 1556 Shaanxi earthquake is the deadliest earthquake in recorded history. According to imperial records, approximately 830,000 people lost their lives.[4]

>It occurred on the morning of 23 January 1556 in Shaanxi, during the Ming dynasty. More than 97 counties in the provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Gansu, Hebei, Shandong, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu and Anhui were affected. Buildings were damaged slightly in the cities of Beijing, Chengdu and Shanghai.[5] An 840-kilometre-wide (520 mi) area was destroyed,[6] and in some counties as much as 60% of the population was killed.[7] Most of the population in the area at the time lived in yaodongs, artificial caves in loess cliffs; these collapsed in great numbers, causing many casualties.

Confused about brand strategy and brand identity? Here's why they both matter
I looked at libro.fm now, but I don't understand what I get if I buy an "Audiobook" over there. The word "mp3" seems to appear nowhere on the site.

The situation is similar, though slightly better on downpour.com. At least they say "digital download". But not what you can download after you buy. They mention mp3s on their FAQ page. So it might be worth a try. But I would feel more comfortable if I really knew what I buy before I buy.
What provider do you use?
I agree, but man so many places are going in the opposite direction… I got lucky with my current gig that I got to implement load balancing/autoscaling with Fabric, ~1000 lines of python in a daemon using boto3, nginx and disk images…
I had some pretty interesting experiences with i-doser around that time.

A lot were fairly humdrum but there was this one time that was incredibly intense and it made me feel as if I had died. I was afraid of ever doing that one again. It left a lasting impression on me that entrainment definitely is a thing.

I must revisit that and have another go.
It lacks context, but the idea itself is not ridiculous. That's pretty much how original Australians dealt with fuel buildup. Move and burn often. Given specific ecosystem, in a very literal sense, 1000 fires are better than 10 in the same area over the same time period.
Well, people live in flatshare a lot. I don't think you can ask why they don't do it when they do it ^^

One cultural thing I noticed in London and I assume in the UK at large is the lack of studios. There are plenty of 1 bedroom but there aren't studios (200-300 sqft).

If you go to Paris for comparison, you will see an incredible amount of studios.

It makes a world of difference when you get 25+, you make a living and you want to be independent (forget about dating and getting married otherwise). In the absence of studio, you're forced to pay up a lot to get a one bedroom (more than what low end jobs earn so they're stuck with flatmates).
Perhaps, but there are several of those now. Apple, for example.

Oh yes, indeed, I'm not implying that all hidden services are objectionable, but that those who are are many and a major reputation problem - to the point where we would be better off without hidden services.

One cannot reasonably blame them for all fires, but one can reasonably blame them for fires with a direct causal link to their negligence.
I have a house where my driveway slopes down to my garage. There is a drain at the center near where the garage comes down. Should I schedule some kind of repair to clean it out periodically so it doesn't flood?

There haven't been any problems so far, but I live in Seattle which doesn't actually rain that much (in terms of inches per year - 38 average vs 47 for New York) despite its reputation. It's gloomy and drizzles a lot, so that's probably where the reputation comes from, but it rarely really rains like the kind of rain you'd get in a Houston rainstorm.
Swapping the wires around at the start or end of the line doesn't swap them frequently enough. It's actually quite like a twisted pair in an ethernet cable: you swap the order frequently to average out the different position-dependent electrical characteristics to get a uniform characteristic.

The EU probably does that less frequently simply due to higher density, and thus fewer long stretches of transmission line. I've personally seen a transposition tower in the EU on a line running across a mountain, so they do exist.

Yeah, I have used Nix to generate them in the past, which worked pretty great too. But Helm does, admittedly, solve a real problem: garbage collecting old resources when they're deleted from the repo. I just wish we could have something much simpler that only did that...
And were you to do that simple thing at a competitive price, it'd be great.

But you don't.

To be competitive you either need to drop prices or do more stuff to be worth the money.
You don't see those hooks things in Europe because I doubt we have any high voltage lines that old left. I suspect this one survived that long because of the much drier California climate.
This is really surprising. The stuff is horrible to use and if any substance has seemed toxic to me, it’s that.

Static website generator with a markdown editor will end up cheaper probably.

Wordpress or drupal will generally end up easier as long as nothing goes wrong.
From my experience with inexperienced use and users stuff will go wrong at some point and then it can be a bit more of a hassle.

if you have perfection in a product, the only evolution possible is for it to become less perfect.

People being people the best are not content with always doing the same thing, so they will experiment and move away, following other influences. The drumming may become great in other ways but not great in the way of inducing trance states the way it once way.

Just my theory on why it might be that an old recording is better for inducing trance than a newer one might be.
Let's be clear, the fires are not fault of PG&E. Once the forest has not burned for long eonough and is dry enough any spark is going to cause large scale fire. It just happens that PG&E tends to cause a lot of sparks.

Simulations show (and logic says) that the frequency with which a piece of land has a fire depends on humidity, not amount of sparks. If the forest is dry enough any fire spreads unimpeded and even if you have less sparks you just get larger fires.

Moroccan household?
Not sure what I need a resume for. I'll probably never work for an employer and I think I'm a better farmer than a webdev.

I know how to design and build things with my hands. I also know how to design logos, websites and other things. I can code and enjoy building and maintaining the network of websites I built in the past 15 years.

But I feel I'm spreading myself too thin when I'm also learning to code in React or Dart (Flutter) for a single one-off project. I fear I won't be able to put in the hours required to become adequately proficient in another field that's constantly changing.
I'm kind of the opposite. I have a ThinkPad X390 Yoga and a MacBook. The ThinkPad touchpad is perfectly usable, but not great like the MacBook. The dealbreaker is that the Linux part of the ThinkPad is a complete pain (Intel WiFi headaches - went as far as submitting a kernel bug), while the MacBook just works.
Isn't every redesign of a UI about increasing the preference for people to use the app? This kind of explanation is like saying "Apple only improves their UI because they want to make more money", implying that changes to UI should only ever be down for purely altruistic reasons.

There are three things Google could have done with Blogger:

1) destaff the team maintaining it and let it die. Result: people complaining Google killed yet another project

2) staff the team and give them some freedom to actually do interesting work instead, instead of hiring someone to baby sit a closet of frozen servers. Result: "Who moved my cheese?"

3) Hire a babysitter, and charge a fee for running a blog or divest it to someone who wants to run it. Result: "Bait and switch! Google offered a free product for years and years, and now they want to charge money for it!"

In any of the scenarios, people will be upset Let's face it, a lot of us through Blogger was dead, like Tumblr, a distant memory. The fact that there's engineers actively working on it should give those depending on it some comfort, vs a baby-sitter project where it could die at any moment once the last team member leaves for greener pastures.

Blogger was launched in 1999, it's 20+ years ago now. Are people really asking a company not to change the UI and make large changes to something 20 years old?

That's where an org chart comes in. You find the people directly responsible, and walk up the chart until you reach the point you can't prove a person could be reasonably aware of what their sub^n-ordinates were doing. All people you collected up to that point should then be put in front of a judge.

That's just a restating of an idea that superiors are responsible for the actions of their subordinates. I think it's called "vicarious liability", though IANAL.
Conceptually an underground house is like a bungalow version of a house that has a large basement (and a earth roof).

In the UK I know basements (that have a house above them, not earth) to be near universally damp and miserable places.

In London the rich and famous are known to go down when it comes to house extensions, with ever larger basements. Sure the climate is different, and building tech has advanced, but I wonder if the posh homes with vast basements harbour problems. Particularly when adding features such as pools, deluxe bathrooms and gyms.

Every generation comes along to think they will not make the mistakes of their forefathers. It seems to be a game you can't win at. Lead works good under ground when it comes to keeping stuff out for centuries, so maybe you need to spend serious money on making a lead lined tomb and then lining that so there is no danger of getting lead poisoned.
