Yeah, that also struck me as more of arising from an "antagonistic, competitive" culture vs a collaborative/cooperative one.

Total land devoted to forrest in the US has been basically stable since the early 1900s and has actually increased a bit in the last 20 years.

There are rare cases where you want manual control, I remember in the A320 that ditched into the river Sullenburger said the limits prevent the best possible landing[1]:

> However, Sullenberger said that these computer-imposed limits also prevented him from achieving the optimum landing flare for the ditching, which would have softened the impact.

That said the cases for this are probably very, very rare.

I mean out of the 2,000 mushrooms in North America, there are all of 20 or 30 that are seriously poisonous. So it doesn't take all that long to learn the most harmful ones. Especially since you don't even need to know whether or not a mushroom is harmful, only if it looks vaguely like one of the harmful ones.
Just one of them?
it's usually a pretty bad idea to have a mutable object (the array) as a key. Though I guess if you consider it as a 'tuple' since when in json form it can't be modified I guess it'd be technically possible, though with some heavy caveats.

There's no way to achieve this...even writing things in POSIX is going to be incompatible on some systems. Having a different binary for different systems is necessary. Even writing things in an interpreted language e.g. Python still requires at least Python binaries on all your systems, and that's ignoring dependencies. It doesn't get much more convenient than Golang's cross compilation.

My understanding is that the energy markets started reacting to the polar vortex with days or weeks worth of warning, meaning that Griddy shouldn't have been that surprised that something was coming. Therefore it appears like Griddy was asleep at the helm, uninterested in doing anything about it, couldn't negotiate/hedge in time, or just internally confused.
Well, orthogonal lines don't have to intersect in in geometry (you just need more than 2 dimensions), and "intersect" is meaningless in algebra. So, I don't think that's really implied.
It's a shame the Pyra is so underpowered for how expensive it is. The Raspberry Pi can beat it on both compute and memory.

I think that can be addressed by setting the right expectations. A discussion with an expert doesn't have to end with "the answer" to be super helpful.

A lot of times people have just gone down the wrong path and need someone to get them going in the right direction or even just confirm that they're doing the right thing.

This requires a empathy from the provider and grit from the person seeking help. This kind of work is definitely not a "stackoverflow" kind of thing. It's also can't be about the money, because anyone with enough skill to help people out with dev problems is likely already well paid and doesn't really "need" to do it.
Theoretically, yes I think so. There are some key enabling technologies (energy storage and electric propulsion) that need to be developed further before something like that could be built.

The 3DS line has a bit of an unfortunate side-effect that, by default, it stretches the display of original-DS games with some pretty unsightly artifacts from a non-integer scale. The workaround is to hold Start+Select on launching the games, displaying them at the original 1:1 pixels, but then there's a large black border and the size of the game's display is also unsatisfying small.

For sure, if you can only pick up one console, a 3DS XL or 2DS XL is a good option. If you can pick up two consoles, I believe the DSi XL is an excellent complement. Large screens with the same native resolution as the original DS. By playing games on the DSi XL, you get a comfortable and large display of original-DS games and no artifacts from a non-integer scale.
It could also be the lens. The image feels a bit telephoto, not wide angle.
I'm not going to answer this for my current company, but man was it a mess at my last one. I was involved in writing custom ETL tooling and attempting to onboard product management teams to using it. Financial data was all stored in APEX, which could only be queried using Windows APIs, so the one guy we had who knew Visual Basic did all of that. I wrote a bunch of Python libraries that defined a custom intermediate format for data extracted from Jira, Rational Team Concert, and Azure DevOps boards, since there was no consistent standard for what product teams actually used but it tended to be one of those three things. We offered the ability to feed the data to InfluxDB and visualize it in Grafana via automation provided by ansible that would deploy the DB, dashboards, and configuration for the custom ETL tools together so they were in sync with each other. That was for on-premises single team usage.

For enterprise, company-wide aggregation, we were supposed to be feeding an enterprise measures system with long term storage in Amazon Redshift and standardized dashboards built in PowerBI that utilized standard metrics definitions everyone was supposed to converge on. But that product was two years behind schedule and eventually cancelled when the company merged with an airline manufacturer and Covid hit a month later and suddenly capital funds totally dried up. So luckily our on-premises solution was entirely free and allowed user to define whatever collection strategies and metrics they wanted.

I hope someone is still actually using this. It was just me and two other guys who made all this tooling and automation and deployed it to seven pilot product teams middle of last year. Not sure how they're doing without me since I wrote all of the core libraries myself with no external input or review because we were in such a hurry to demonstrate value.
We use goose quills in the UK. No we don't! I'm 50ish and I started with a pencil and moved up to a variety of pens later.

My prep school (that's a UK private school for 13-16) encouraged pretty much anything that made a neat mark on the page. The Head who later retired to Bursar was a massive fan of fibre tips - less blotting I suppose - how progressive. I should point out that corporal punishment (ie cane/belt/backboard rubber) was still legal back then, not so progressive 8) Everyone had a fountain pen or two. Generally cartridge type but some used a bladder sucker type and a bottle of Quink because it was much cheaper. We used a lot of pink blotting paper.

At Rheindahlen infant school, I think we used chalk (it was pencil.) Paderborner First - probably a chisel on stone (pencil.) Those are BFES (UK military) schools and yes it was all a bit bewildering for a young child. Before 13, I went to those and Button Lane infant school in Manchester, not to mention "Jerboa" School in Soltau. I may have missed one or two out.
In the Bay Area, roughly 85 percent of residential neighborhoods (49 percent in Berkeley) are zoned single-family-only, according to UC Berkeley’s Othering and Belonging Institute. “That’s ridiculous,” said Stephen Menendian, the institute’s assistant director and director of research. “The fact that only 15 percent of residential areas permit by zoning ordinance denser housing options, in a region that is the economic vanguard of the country, is totally inadequate to the needs of the region and frankly the country.”
I think it’s really a wrong take on it. Bombard’s lesson is mostly one of hope: you can survive a very long time on a raft. He felt too many sailors died too early after being lost at sea, while he knew of very long survivals lost at sea in the whaling community. He suspected a lot of deaths were linked to hopelessness. He set his first travel as both an experiment and an inspiration. When he came back he established a list of things to put in a life raft for long term survival.

As for the water, his lesson has always been to drink as much fresh water as you can, and mixed with a bit of seawater if you really have to. It’s really not about surviving on seawater, his life raft list includes fresh water.

The PSP had a 480x272 screen, and you’re saying that this thing having 800p feels worse? The Switch does 720p in portable mode and it’s tons of fun and is selling like crazy 3+ years after release. You can’t expect a portable device to render most games at a playable framerate at 1080. Cell phones can have high resolution screens to play videos and render text. Most cell phone games can’t render at 1080p except on the highest end flagships. Since the S20 Ultra can literally be double this price it’s not a fair comparison anyway.

Then you talk about how tech specs don’t matter when you were just complaining about a spec? I don’t really understand that argument.

There will be plenty of people that buy this. The only real issue is that you still can’t get a Neo, the GPD Win 3 is going to enjoy a lot of sales from people that don’t want to wait.

It comes down to culture for me. Nintendo originally marketed the Game Boy in the "toy" rather than "video game" or "electronics" categories. Something physical to be put under the xmas tree. Developers love handhelds because budgets are 1/10 of AAA titles. Low power GPUs like the Tegra X1 and Neo's Ryzen are plentiful. Along with an explosion in indie handhelds, I wouldn't be surprised to see upgrades to the Vita, 3DS, Shield, etc.
He may leave a factory there for costs, but he most certainly is expanding and migrating to Texas. Hell, I bet he's about to shill the hell out of his battery storage tech there too.
If you have the means and are serious about improving then I highly recommend buying a power meter. I have Favero Assioma pedals which are about the cheapest option for dual sided power and work well. After I've been riding for a while I tend to slack off and fool myself into thinking that I'm working harder than I really am. The power meter keeps me honest.

But without a power meter you can certainly pace yourself by heart rate. Figure out your heart rate zones and then do some test rides holding your heart rate steady in a particular zone and sustain the effort as long as you can. Then you can estimate a maximum target heart rate for each climb segment based on how much time it should take.

You can also experiment with different pedaling cadences. Every cyclist has a different optimal cadence, but in general you want to shift down when climbing and keep the cadence high (unless you're intentionally doing a low cadence strength workout).

Unless I am missing something obvious, lift-induced drag is largely independent of altitude. However, parasitic drag is significantly reduced by lower air pressure. Thus the advantage from high altitude flight.

Technically, that's a correct statement. Even if you could get into YC, nobody is forcing you to take the YC tail winds, and instead you're free to throw yourself into the head winds.
That depends on project duration. Most projects did not go on more than a year or two. If that's the case your ramp up would happen once every two years even if everybody stayed forever. If you're reasonably efficient about it, you can hire someone with maybe a few hours of engineer time. If the average engineer stays even a year it's not that much.
We've looked at LSIF before, and decided against it for a few reasons, mostly around COGS, operational overhead, and indexing latency. I gave a talk at last year's FOSDEM [1] going into some of the details. (Caveat that that talk was from when we were using a different open-source library, Semantic, to power fuzzy Code Nav. It's much easier to support new languages using the now-current tree-sitter query approach!)

> I'm a lot more "in favor of the truth" than "in favor of renewables". And the truth is that there's plenty of lithium, but not with current extraction techniques..

And the truth is that I only ever said that there isn't enough grid storage available to make renewables feasible for decarbonization. The notion that I ever said there wasn't enough lithium in the earth's crust isn't the truth. Sure, there's more lithium that's inaccessible. But inaccessible lithium isn't available for use in energy storage.

> Last I checked, Li-ion was about US$111/kWh https://dercuano.github.io/notes/energy-storage-efficiency.h... which is probably around US$300/kW on th current grid, depending on how many hours a day you need battery, and buyers were undervaluing storage. Given that coal and (1970s) nuclear plants cost on the order of US$1000/kW to build, this is already economically feasible. (Current nuclear plants cost close to US$7000/kW, but plausibly that's largely regulatory costs.)

You're comparing figures on generation to storage. Yes, a big nuclear plant that generates 2.5 GW of electricity often costs $15 billion, sometimes more sometimes less (The Taishan plant only costed $7 billion for 2GW). But they generate that power for 50 to 80 years. And crucially they generate power 24/7 and don't need a supplemental form of storage.

By comparison, buying 2 gigawatt hours grants you the ability to store enough energy to output 2 GW for a duration of 1 hour. This means something totally different. You still need to add onto this the cost of building and maintaining solar panels or wind turbines or what have you to actually fill this storage.

But what's crucially omitted here is service lifetime. Good lithium ion batteries will do ~1,500 discharge cycles, exceptional ones 2,000. That's 4-6 years of service life for these batteries, especially if they're being used for diurnal storage like solar. And that's really all they're good for, batteries also lose their charge if they sit unused for long durations. so $100 for 1 KWh that needs to be replaced every 4 years really costs $2,000 over the life of 80 years.

Also actually attempting to use batteries for grid storage will cause the price of batteries to skyrocket. Globally ~300GWh of lithium ion batteries are produced annually [1]. The world uses 60TWh of electricity daily. 1 day of storage would take 200 years to provision at current production rates. Sure, battery production is growing but won't be able to keep up with demand and price will rise. As you pointed out earlier, only 20 minutes of storage are available with existing mining techniques so extraction will rapidly become a bottleneck.

You are correct. More money is flowing to the same type of people. It’s still incredibly difficult to raise money If you’re not an existing part of the VC network.

In my anecdotal only experience it has gotten easier for founding teams who are from central casting - known schools / former employers, tech-first business ideas that VCs can understand, other stereotypes around what it means to look like and especially talk like the pattern of a successful founder.

There's just more money sloshing around and these funds have to deploy it somewhere.

Imho the outsized benefit to being from central casting is probably a sign of the end times for western civilization etc but that's the pattern I've seen from scattered anecdotes.

Tow planes and gliders routinely fly with a disconnecting cable between two aircraft, and that seems at least as impractical and unsafe (or it would if you were proposing it as a new idea). Though maybe that's the sort of thing that's "grandfathered in" from earlier, more permissive days of experimental aviation.

I think the strongest argument against using a power cable during takeoff is just that it's not worth the effort and complexity just for a slight increase in range, except in rare situations or planes that normally make very short flights and don't want to be weighed down with extra batteries (like the aforementioned glider tow planes).
You would need an electrical engineering degree, usually an advanced degree (master's is enough but PhD helps). It's a tight space.

You could also try getting into an analog design company and work on their software stack, but generally that would require embedded development skills at the least.
> I'm also pretty sure I can now only write a paragraph or two before my hand starts cramping up.

This was actually a nice thing about picking up a fountain pen to write with. The ink flows without you applying pressure (or significant pressure) to the page, and you learn to let the pen mostly rest in place in your hand. If you're gripping it tightly, you're probably holding it wrong. I've written dozens of pages at a time with a fountain pen and never felt much hand strain, in contrast to how I often felt with other pens and pencils. Though since learning to hold a pen properly with the fountain pen, I've become better with those as well

Except for cheap ballpoints, they suck.

I shifted to writing with fountain pens a few years back. After I joined my job.

I like writing for the pleasure of writing and have written copious amounts of notes. Most of it is circuits, notes, tech stuff, software architecture diagrams, etc.

Fountain pens are the best. For fine diagrams I use Platinum Preppy 01. I just love that pen.

For daily use, I use a normal Reynolds one that costs Rs. 20 (about 30 cents, US).

My preferred choice of ink is Parker Quink. I fill up using a syringe.

Can never ever write with a normal pen. However, I am forced to use ball pens on older paper as fountain pens blot a lot on yellowed out paper.
