No. Imagine that your heat exchanger is simply two touching pipes running parallel to each other, with flows in opposite directions. Incoming air will gradually warm up as it comes inwards, eventually being warmed by the air which has just left the room. You can get a much better result than just averaging the temperatures.

#1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superprotect

> "Superprotect" was the name for a superuser tool granted to Wikimedia Foundation staff but denied to all Wikimedia community members starting in August 2014.[92][circular reference] Wikimedia Foundation staff used the tool to force the installation of the Wikimedia Foundation's software against the wishes of the Wikimedia community. This conflict was unprecedented. Erik Möller, then director of the Wikimedia Foundation, managed the Superprotect tool. The software in dispute was MediaViewer, which was a software feature that guided Wikipedia readers into viewing images in a certain way. Wikimedia commentator Andrew Lih described the superprotect feature as "Orwellian-sounding".

As many of us tech workers continue onward with employment, this article is an important reminder that not all our fellow neighbors are as lucky. The country's fates really have diverged.
Miami/LA/Texas more like 90's most of the year
With rebase I keep my commits small, easier to merge then. I've seen strange things slip through large commits. E.g. Someone (me) missed the deleted files, rebased and hence recreated them.

Then I tried to squash them before merging. But if you squash your commits you get a large commit and you get the same problem. Oh well...

I guess it's easier when you have small features.
The default way promises are used is now async/await. `.then()` should not be introduced as anything more than 'you may find this in older codebases'.
One reasonable take is that Dylan feels consolidated corporate gatekeepers can't have too much power.
Unless you are a political junky reading news all day - what practically speaking is so intolerable about living there or your neighbors?
Unrelated, but how does privacy.com work on purchase categories? Like I have a card which gives me more cash back for airline ticket purchases - will the info of transaction category be kept?
I've had this site's Regex section bookmarked for awhile and it's been a great tutorial and reference. I can't speak to the other content but if it's similar, it would be of good quality.
Hmm, byline: “Eitan Hersh,
Associate professor of political science at Tufts University”

If we accept the article’s description of the problem, the author would seem to be one of its architects. I mean, if the problems is really that college-educated voters are doing what they see as engaging in politics but “haven’t the faintest idea how to push for what they care about in their own communities,” whose failing is thar, if not professors of political science?

Though actually the article also states but seems to fail to grasp the significance of a contrary and more important point: the people it targets are “pretty comfortable with the status quo.” Which suggest the real issue isn't that they don't know what they are doing and would be better served doing something else, but that they are quite effectively deploying their political power to serve their interest by engaging in performative gestures while practically acting as a boat anchor preventing the political system moving out of their zone of comfort.

They aren't ineffective hobbyists, they are effective motivated agents protecting the status quo.
Worth a visit for the FAQ alone.
My totally uninformed opinion is that they haven't, for whatever reason, had the marketing success that some other brands have. I'm aware of ZaReason because I have a laptop from them, but I've rarely seen them mentioned anywhere.

The only reason I knew about them to buy one at the time (2012) was because the founder was visiting the company I used to work for (they were attempting to establish a real presence in New Zealand then) and a workmate mentioned it to me as I think I was looking for a new laptop at the time.

Based on the statement on their website, it seems that their lineup has been shrinking and tech support has been slowing down. That doesn't suggest that they were in a healthy place, and so I guess it just took one more blow on top of that to knock them out.
I definitely agree with you. I don’t like the Bay Area’s weather and much prefer that of the Midwest and Northeast where you fully experience all four seasons. I like hot summers and winters full of snow. Even within CA I’d prefer the weather of LA over that of the Bay Area. SF in particular had very depressing and disappointing weather for me — uniformly chilly and overcast most of the time.
>I’m not quite sure why state’s employment systems are so fantastically terrible given the relative simplicity of the task.

For one they usually pick bad vendors, because they're big enough to have a license, not because they provide a well-designed solution.

But I think this is one of those tasks that looks simple from the outside but has many pitfalls. Bureaucratic systems are somewhat rule based usually, but since they weren't automated from the beginning, they usually have some conflicting rules, some missing rules, and some ambiguous rules. Which means there's a lot of human intuition involved in decision making which isn't encoded anywhere.

So to start creating a new software that is better you would first have to understand the old software + human decision-making.
Oh it really is. I grew up with the bs, and people don't seem to believe you when you tell them that it's no worse than wind blowing on the street.
The way Wikipedia is supposed to work is, they have to find sources for 2+2=4 or 5. Albert Einstein explaining (as a primary source) how 2+2=4, and also the editors claiming the authority of their own consensus, are not supposed to be a part of the process.
I came here hoping for an answer on this and got none.
I have a rule that if stylistic decisions matter enough to reject a PR over, they also have to be enforced by a linter or code formatter. If they are that big a deal, we should enforce them via automation, not review. And if they're not that big a deal, do not put them in a code review.
Data Mesh Principles
We did the opposite. With premier support, you used to buy a bucket of hours. We had a few folks that learned the lingo and basically was able to attach a product defect to almost any call we made, billable to the product group.

We’d end up with a surplus of hours, and leverage the threat of slashing those hours to get the execs on the support side to push for concessions from the other parts of the business. Premier was basically a revenue generator for us :)

Well, in terms of dollars per getting shit done, a GPU on ARM that only supports Metal 2 isn’t going to get any software for it in a really really long time, no matter how fast it is, perhaps so long that better conventional GPUs will come out by then.

Who do you think writes all the code for this stuff? It’s guys in tracksuits in Visual Studio C++ on Windows. The top games for iOS are also either written by a few guys in Unity or by an absolutely huge team of people porting an existing, low graphics quality PC game.
> The diversity currently of this area is very high, it’s the home of top universities, between the two cross pollination of ideas happens non stop.

This is sort of the argument that management gives to having people in the office.

People need to be at a physical location together for cross-pollination and idea growth.
But sadly not enough to break their desktop monopoly.

IOT is a signal for "large disposable income", so HEPA/health anything associated with IoT will bump up the price tag considerably.

Why would anyone deliver anything good when people already willingly paying for crap?
If they're going to compare the two, at least use the React functional hooks pattern. They're comparing Stencil to the (basically) obsolete OO components pattern.
We Had the Covid-19 Vaccine the Whole Time
It should be also mentioned that HN leans left, so when similar left-wing scare phrases, such as comparing Trump/GOP to Nazis comes up, or similar "the opposition are fools" topics such as anti-mask/vax, global-warming etc; It's seen as correct and acceptable.

It's the same kind of thing as right-wingers acting hostile to any negativity towards police/military, even if criticism is valid. Criticise lenient policies in cities with vagrancy problems, and it's touching a nerve.
Breath control and breathing properly.
I was in school as a merchant marine officer. I remember my Cargo Operations instructor telling us that "back in the day" when they went into Singapore or other port in that region on a break-bulk ship, they would expect to be in port for 2-3 weeks, and go out and see the sights (read: hookers and bars). "But with containers, these days we're lucky if we are in port for more than 12 hours before we're unloaded and back out to sea."

I was thinking of a shower head, but 20q disagreed with me on whether it comes in a box and some other minor stuff. So yeah, not very impressive. Akinator, on the other hand, knew my uni algorithms teacher.
Overuse of still-not-standardized decorators seems like "4 years ago", too. Just recently MobX moved away from them for that reason.

Also "let main, footer" vs "var footer; var main;" doesn't make it look good for either side.

And in the end being better than React isn't that hard. There have been plenty of frameworks that had better performance and/or better DX, without even getting into holy-war differences (e.g. JSX vs. templates). But you hardly work with a view library alone, and so you have to consider the infrastructure and the developer pool (which shouldn't matter for technical reasons, but matters for CV reasons).
Frameworks like Tailwind CSS will go the way of the dodo, once CSS gets proper scoping, isolation and inheritance. (No JS needed). Then you can truly have semantic HTML with presentational stuff separated cleanly without needing any toolchain or 1k+ deps library to do this.
Yes, just a typo. Thanks for pointing that out.
Evaluating persistent, replicated message queues (2020 edition)
My point was to reason why Excel has a strong pull compared to Emacs. They locked in customers early on, then coupled with backwards compatibility, ensured that everyone kept using it. Which is why GSheets barely made a dent on Excel, even though it had much needed collaboration early on.
> Nothing takes my motivation for contributing away as a reviewer that just must find something to complain about the code.

Or the reviewer that always asks for more tests. (Once I got asked to write a test that was unnecessary and almost impossible to write a test for. Think timing issues. My options were to push back or spend a significant amount of time writing a test that was not needed. As a junior that already pushed back more than a typical junior I made the best choice I thought I could make at the time.)
The myth is from people that moved to California from other states. I moved from the the midwest to Southern California. I can't see myself going back to harsh winters and extreme summers. My overall well being has increased and the sunny days helpf with consistent mood levels. This is coming from someone who loved the four seasons and claimed they were required. I realized that humans populate most climates in the world and there isn't one size fits all.
I would love to know as well. I think it could be HBM2, something similar to Fujitsu A64FX [1], the problem with both GDDR6 and HMB2 is that are limited in capacity to ~64GB, or at best 128GB. Which is far from the 1.5 TB of memory the current Mac Pro is capable of.

The "shift" has already been happening for a decade or more, covid just created a few visible outlier migrations that have pushed the conversation into the open.

At this point, Netflix is the only major company I know of that that still locates 100% of software work in the Bay Area.
Do you use a gas stove? I think this points to the multi-factor aspect of asthma. There's also the fact that asthma is triggered by many things -- dust in the ventilation that only gets circulated in the winter when the heat gets turned on, for example.

As an aside -- it's important to keep in mind that the article does not say "gas stoves cause asthma, rip them from your homes immediately or be prepared to curse your infant with respiratory illness." It says, "there's a link here, and we should do something about that link." The author goes to great pains to use words other than cause: "connection" "link" etc.
One unfortunate dangling problem with the historical nomenclature is this:

"scales have modes"

This is wrong. A scale is an interval series. A mode is an interval series. There is no difference between them.

It just so happens that there are ways to permute some interval series to generate others. Because western music is so focused on the interval series we call the major scale, people noted that you can permute this into a series of other interval series. But none of those interval series (Aeolian, Phrygian, Lydian etc) "own" or are the basis for the others: they are all related by permutation. You could just as easily say "Modes of the Phrygian scale" and you would still be referring to the same set of interval series.
Thanks, have a free IMGZ trial on me for that comment.
What is stopping Qualcomm? Money.

Investing in a top end CPU is expensive and currently there is no buyer for a workstation class CPU other than Apple.

Microsoft's ARM efforts have been lackluster and sales has been lethargic. The last time Microsoft tried to jump to another architecture was an expensive failure. Who is going to invest hundreds of billions in jump starting this category with a track record like that?

Likewise, Linux. While Linux is a great development platform, Qualcomm isn't going to gamble tens of millions on developers migrating en-mass to a Linux/ ARM platform.

Someone has to put up the money and it's a bunch.
K8s Design Flaw: Man in the Middle Using LoadBalancer or ExternalIPs
The critique was pretty specific, though? And if a framework that aims to be the pinnacle of CSS makes it easy to get the basics wrong, how is that shallow?
Analog TVs have been indispensable for the marginalised, under-represented children living in remote areas to receive education during this pandemic lockdown.

As the availability of Internet, Devices capable of receiving online courses has been taken for granted, many who are not privileged not only missed education for several months now but also lost communication with their schools.

I've been thinking about inexpensive compute capable device capable of receiving analog TV via SDR and also communication through LoRAWAN[1] to address this. Now I'll also explore ESP8266's ability to receive analog TV signals.

There's a lot to like about many areas of California. Which ones may depend on your weather, cultural, etc. preferences. But Silicon Valley proper I find not particularly appealing; housing costs are only part of the reason. (SF itself has well-documented pluses and minuses.) I don't live or work in CA/SV. But if I were in SV but no longer needed to commute, I might well stay in CA but I'd probably move somewhere outside of SV commuting distance.
At some point, the process can't get any smaller. Physics has hard rules. Once we get to that limit, improvements will have to come from elsewhere.
Same. I've been slack this year but have about 15 cords sitting out back waiting to be split (half of was standing dead so it's good to go).

I know heat is heat but for some reason wood-stove heat seems like it just works better on the human body. Ours is in the basement, so it's 95 down there and that heats the entire floor upstairs.
Stencil the framework - perhaps not.

But the idea of compiling to an (asymptotically) optimal vanilla JS application is a breath of fresh air in a world of Virtual DOM, Reactive Programming, Hooks etc.

My favourite thing about this approach is that the end result is even half-readable, so with some practice it's possible to understand what's going on in your stack trace.
This is all spot on. The engineering that goes into HVAC systems is under appreciated. When messed up the system that is supposed to give you fresh air can easily become a source of pathogens. You also want filters on ingress and egress (to ensure critters don't have a path into your house), and you want to have a nice fat overdimensioned heat exchanger between the two airstreams to ensure that you're not heating the world instead of your house.

+1 on the rapid change of filters, much better to change a filter frequently even if it is a bit lower performance than to let one sit for too long, but keep an eye on your electricity cost, that is the factor that should decide the quality filter that you purchase and frequently you replace it.

Ground rule: the better the filter, the more it will absorb, the better the chances that something you really don't want lodges there and starts spreading if the filter gets overloaded. Fiberglass filters are a good compromise between energy efficiency and cost, they have excellent working surface compared to their physical size and tend to have a relatively long working life before they 'join the other side' and become a source of contaminants rather than a filter of contaminants.
Wozniak hasn't been part of Apple since 1985 (he does still receive a paycheck, though). His net worth is somewhere around $100 million USD depending on source.
Yeah, that one didn't make sense to me either. Lived in Oregon for the last... oh, wow, times flies... 30 years and I'd never consider moving back to the Bay Area. Except, if suddenly there were about 1/2 the people there and housing prices somehow went to reasonable levels. The weather is generally so pleasant there.

> anything grows

I'm a gardener. Wherever I go I grow a garden. When I lived in the South Bay the soil in our backyard was AMAZING. Never seen soil like that anywhere else. You didn't have to do much of anything to grow stuff. It was easy to dig. It was like it was loam all the way down. So yes, the climate plays a big part of that 'anything grows', but so does the soil there which is exceptional.
> There was no inherent "supremacy", just one created by a bunch of companies being together.

That is why they have supremacy, though. Agglomeration effects are a big deal. Its why New York has remained a center of trade and finance for centuries, and why Detroit remains a hub for the automotive industry despite the city's bankruptcy.

No matter what brought the companies there in the first place, just "being together" is a huge deal and is hard to replicate elsewhere. We will see if tech will be an exception, but my prior is that proximity is important, even with WFH, and that Silicon Valley will remain the national center of tech companies.
All this makes me think is that the 2020 crypto bullrun is starting. Prepare for more "celebrity" tokens, BTC swelling past ATH followed by a massive crash that takes out a majority of the current 550 tokens on CoinMarketCap, and countless other DeFi tokens on Uniswap
I think a better criterium for "peak years" is peak momentum (user increase over time), vs peak users.

Most technologies reach peak users when they stop growing or when their growth stops accelerating (and then they either get somewhat stable -e.g. Microsoft, or like many, start to decline - e.g. Blackberry).
When is that going to happen?

About as condescending as someone deserves if they're pro Affordable Care Act, but anti-Obamacare. The average voter, on both sides, doesn't understand issues at a basic level, let alone hold a rational perspective of the nuances of their outcomes. Most issues, unlike the obamacare/aca juxtaposition, have a way to justify taking either side of the issue from a conservative or liberal framework. That doesn't mean constituents on either side are thinking about it that way.

Saying someone is voting against their own stated interests isn't likely to be persuasive to them, but it doesn't make it factually false. Most people don't really know what their political interests are anyway and just react to strawmen.

This is inline with my experience as well. I know it is the common wisdom to not measure performance with lines of code or number of commits. But in a large picture it's always the top performers that make the most commits.

If I was a manager and asked to lay off X percent of the engineers, I would totally take into account number of commits among other signals.
