> Certain building materials need to breath.

As explained in the linked video, they actually need to dry. This does not need to happen to the outside environment. IMHO, using the two terms (dry/breathe) interchangeably is causing confusion, as each has certain connotations in many people's minds.

The person in that video lives in Austin, Texas, and when he builds or renovates structures he has a stand-alone, whole-house dehumidifier designed into the HVAC system (the client can of course reject the suggestion):

> If the there are discontinuities it is possible to get condensation when the temperature / dew point align just wrong.

Which, as explained in the first link (BSI-001), is why you want external insulation (if possible); some portion of the insulation being continuous is code in many places nowadays. That way the condensation occurs on the outside of the water/vapour control layer. Joe Lstiburek:

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkfAcWpOYAA&t=25m26s

This is harder to do with renovations, but is code in most places. In Ontario, Canada the code (IIRC) also specifics what minimum portion of the insulation that should be on the 'outside' of the vapour control layer: the colder the region the more has to be external, so that condensation happens on the outside of the structure.

Having it 100% external is ideal, but would cause trade-offs in other aspects of the building, which may not be desirable. An example of such a structure:

* During construction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8i-93ABo3I

* Finished: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTwq-qUnr9I

Sadly, last time I checked, there was still no mandatory air tightness test for new builds in Ontario.

"The software is free if your time has no value"
You need a native program to access the web, so for now, always you'll need at least one native program ;)

Now, seriously, as muzani states indirectly, the preferred way will be divided as long as implies another layer and a difference in available device services. Also, you mentioned a disadvantage of the stores but think about the distribution network in terms of online presence to being noticed. There're plenty of pros and cons in every aspect.

Regarding the update point, like in desktop OS, with Android, you didn't need to wait, just take the APK file and install it. From the perspective of your sentence, it's only a problem (or situation) of the Apple ecosystem, not related to the web/native. They can't control the web but if they could they will. From the perspective of the consumer, some say they are fine with the gatekeeper, adding a layer of security and quality assurance.
Of course some peoples "rights" will have to be stepped on. In order to have and maintain a civilization that civilization requires people who are competent at the skills needed in that civilization. These people are the most necessary. The obvious targets for suppression should be the people who provide the least value to society. No other method is practical.
It is important to remember that "rights" are imaginary despite grandiose titles such as Universal Human Rights. The universe provides no such framework. Pragmatism has to come first. Providing for the least is a luxury.
As far as corruption goes, there is no passive method to prevent overreach. it needs to be actively rooted out. Think of this as error correction.
I also think that only small groups of humans could achieve such a system. Expecting this at the country or planetary level at this time in history is delusional.

Yes, this. And then they put their “paperwork” fee of $600 on it and I have to argue with them about that. And then they want to push their financing on me instead of accepting my pre-arranged financing.

I refuse to ever buy another vehicle the old way. The Tesla process sounds great and I’ll consider it if my old beaters die.
Black people have to obey the US government or get locked out of society. None of you care though right? We just call them anti-vaxxers and not stand up for civil rights?
Their point is those "bad apples" lead to people not trusting doctors as a whole. Over-prescribing opioids is one aspect. Not taking women seriously is another aspect. Does every doctor do this? Obviously not. But enough people have had bad experiences that overall I see people innately trusting doctors less and less.

And it's not "1 bad apple". America is in the middle of an opioid epidemic.

" everyone stops thinking they are so exceptional that they can become an expert in all fields"

People don't think they can become experts in all fields. This is different from not blindly trusting someone, due to reasons mentioned above, etc.

You’re giving my friends too much credit. They just don’t like outsiders.

Most people, surprisingly, don’t take an engineering mindset to solving everything, nor do they want to, and even get offended if you do it too much. This past time of mine among many other things taught me that lesson the hard way.
It’s usually not that hard to tell.

It could be that I got lucky. First time car purchase. My local dealership is actually a high volume dealership so they probably have the entire process as streamlined as possible. I was also surprised they willingly said yes when I asked for 10% off which was really good for this particular vehicle, and they immediately and moved to the next step. Car delivery was also very convenient.
Mouse-driven flows are always a little more intuitive and discoverable, but keyboard shortcuts are more precise and can be lightning fast once you have muscle memory.

Listed the way the parent does it seems very complicated, but if you have the sequence memorized and trained it can be executed very quickly and without moving your hands from the keyboard.

From what I understand their E and F series APs are solid, the ones before just had bad performance.

The switches have been pretty solid. Everything can be managed off the fortigate, I think they also have a cloud management platform.
I suspect the performance penalty would be so severe it might undermine the appeal of Java. I don't have hard numbers on this though, perhaps optimising compilers can tame it somewhat. Presumably Haskell does.

A more realistic change might be to have Java default to throwing on overflow. The addExact methods can give this behaviour in Java. In C# it's much more ergonomic: you just use the checked keyword in your source, or else configure the compiler to default to checked arithmetic (i.e. throw-on-exception). This almost certainly brings a performance penalty though.
> Pretty sure that's a feature according to the people behind it.

Definitely, since https://communitywiki.org/wiki/Gemini explicitly states that Gemini is specified in such a way that it can't easily be extended.

I can understand why the vast Gopher community would immediately dump/mirror all of their content into Gemini Space. My question is why anyone else will, when one can easily create an equally-spartan experience using universal web technologies.

Super-cold thunderstorm sets record with -111°C temperature
The game looks better in general, SE uses the Fallout4 engine so most features in Fallout4 are present including 64 bit. Characters are looking a bit better, there is more grass and flowers/mushrooms around you can collect(for alchemy), the lighting looks better. If you don't plan to put many hours then is not worth it, but if you want to put a lot of hours and use many mods then my personal opinion is that is worth it. Modding support for it is good the only issues might be the wine/proton related stuff and the mod manager support issues.
Well you both seem to think it's acceptable to start a sentence with a lower case letter, so I think you'll get along just fine.

The preferred title here is something like "SideTracked: An Online Community made by a Student".

The main problem I see is that it doesn't show any of the post when you are not logged in. Reddit an HN are very similar, and they show the post to attract lurkers. Hopefully lurkers become users.

It will be very hard to convince people to sing up if they can't see the posts.

Sometimes a post about a technical problem get more traction here. Did you found any interesting technical problem while making this project? How did you solved it?

PS: Remember that moderating an online community is very hard. Good luck with that part.
I sort of agree with you on the comma thing; reducing usage of commas while using more semicolons would make for better reading.
> "oh, it only works if you install in in X directory...". Sure it sucked to read 3000 forum posts and google things for 2 hours, but, once it worked, it worked.

I had similar problems with proprietary software and I most often ended up with the answer that the thing I want to do just cannot be done. Or sometimes with no answer at all.

I prefer having an option to look up the source code to see what it does, file a bug report or even fix the problem myself than receiving a response "you're an outlier, so we don't care about your problem and there is nothing you can do about it".
I didn't realize you can do string concatenation with + .
There is no question that if Stallman had been hit by a bus then the project would be fine. He isn't a technical figure at this point.

But it is a bit worrying if the GCC team feels that a man who has dedicated his life to software freedom is at odds with their objectives to the point where he doesn't even deserve a thankyou as they boot him off their webpage.

Mailing lists are famous for their drama, but Stallman is one of the most reliable public figures there is on the subject of software freedom. It is worrying if the people who control these projects think they have priorities above freedom, because it'll probably turn out those priorities are corporate interests. Not such a problem in GCC, but if this is a trend it is of concern. The GPL is not a license written to be friendly and agreeable, disagreeable but competent people should be responsible for maintaining it.
Suppl. Fig 3. on page 31 shows why the raw images (each taken with a slightly different orientation of the nanoparticle) are not emphasized by the paper: they all look pretty much the same to the human eye. To get useful info, you need to do some mathematical processing of the subtle differences between them.
It's an overall benefit for consumers because manufacturers that allow haggling presumably factor it in into their sticker prices because it's such a common practice. The best hagglers are perhaps worse off with the Tesla model, at least if their time spent haggling is not valuable to them, but everyone else tends to benefit.

No, that's the number for BEVs. As linked elsewhere, BEV + PHEV was 220k. VW had a bunch of vehicles including the Taycan, ID.3 and however you spell e-up. They're ramping up very quickly, although it hasn't been without its teething pains and they're still well behind Tesla.

https://cleantechnica.com/files/2021/02/World-plugin-vehicle...
Apparently this is just EVs, props to VW. Looks like the ID.3 wasn't sold in the US which is why you may not have heard of it.

VW Group's top-selling EV in 2020 was the VW ID.3 with 56,500 deliveries, followed by the Audi E-Tron (47,300 deliveries) and VW e-Golf (41,300 deliveries). This year, VW Group will start sales of the VW ID.4, which will likely be a bigger hit than the ID.3 due to its SUV body style. The ID.4 will also be sold in the United States, unlike the ID.3.

There will also be an Audi version of the ID.4 this year, which will go by the name Q4 E-Tron, and Audi will also launch this year its own version of the Taycan, the E-Tron GT. Other VW Group brands also plan to launch various EVs this year.

While the title is cool, I haven't learned anything from reading the article itself
Expertise exists, but people misidentify experts too easily. That's a problem. I think this manifests in multiple ways.

1. People respected in one field shouldn't automatically get our respect in others. Like the article hints at, you shouldn't automatically believe a great basketball is an expert about the shape of the Earth. I would trust Kyrie Irving 100% on shooting technique, but not astrophysics.

2. Having a platform is not a credential in and of itself. It used to be that you could trust the nightly news. Your parents vouched for the anchor. They were right 99% of the time, and if they were wrong, they published a correction, so they also independently earned your trust over time. These days, though, anyone can tweet. Anyone can get a blue check. Anyone can have a news blog. Anyone can appear on your screen. It doesn't mean anything without a strong track record. You can't trust a Twitch star like you can trust Walter Cronkite. Cronkite earned our trust over years, if not decades.

3. People have a hard time understanding when they're being conned. This isn't about intellectuals, it's about street smarts. Facts generally speak for themselves. It's important to learn the difference between influencers posing as "experts" trying to persuade vs someone just telling it straight.

4. Trust, but verify. Maybe there's a chicken and egg problem here - budding experts don't get the benefit of the doubt, how can you believe them over all the pretenders? Well, corroborate it. Trustworthy journalists wouldn't print something without multiple sources. Likewise, you should be skeptical of an expert that no one agrees with.
The problem here, as always, is to define value.

Do poor people provide the least value, because they don't work or only do menial jobs?

Do rich people provide the least value, because they keep most money to themselves or invest in their own interest?

Iceland does not have beer in tourist shops or grocery stores. Alcohol is only sold at the state run monopoly, bars and restaurants. What they sell at grocery stores and tourist shops is non alcoholic or with a very low (<2.25%) alcohol content, and they're mostly produced to circumvent the ban on alcohol advertising.
There are other costs with not fixing it, but I get your point regarding time.

That said the experience earned and the courage to take on bigger efforts is found through trying and spending time keeping other people's trash out of a landfill.

This is true with software too otherwise we wouldn't have free and open source software.

I know exactly what you mean about the shift when recording. It sounds like my personality and all the passion and excitement I have about the topic totally disappear once I'm recording. So strange!

Good to know practicing will help.

One thing I noticed is that I got an idea for an episode on a walk and decided to record it on the fly using just an app on my phone. It was filled with all of my excitement and natural tone. When I went to record the real version at home, poof! All gone.
Reducing emissions by triggering World War Three is a plan, I suppose.
In general "human history" starts with the first written word, around 10,000 BC. Everything before that is considered prehistory. Of course, humans didn't simply come into existence 12,000 years ago, but we have very little conception of life before The Word (tm).
We are headed back into the office next week and I'm ambivalent. The commute isn't bad and I listen to audiobooks. My husband never left his office so he goes to work and I'm just..bored most of the day. I miss the office banter and interactions, good and bad, because out here working from home as I am on my last day, I don't feel a sense of community and connection with my coworkers.

Airtable is pretty, but it took me about 5 minutes to hit hard limits on its capabilities, for doing basic things I've done in spreadsheets for 20 years.
I don't get why this is specifically directed at gratis/free software, though. It's not like commercial software is much better. I spent a lot of time in the beginning of my career punching extremely expensive proprietary software into submission. Things like Solidworks, Autocad, Windows itself, nvidia drivers, various scientific/engineering programs, circuit designing programs, etc.

Tons of extremely expensive licensed software, with expensive support contracts, and we still spent a ton of time and wrote a ton of Perl to punch them into a shape that worked on our very vanilla installs of Windows 7 enterprise. Contacting anyone's support was invariably an absolute fucking joke of an endeavor. We literally only ever did it when we were sick and tired of bashing our heads against their shitty software and wanted to shelf the project for a week or two to recover our sanity while their support "looked into it" and "escalated our ticket" or whatever.

My experience with whether software was more like Stripe or more like a piano sitting on the sidewalk is that it completely depends on the company's attitude. Either they care that people be able to actually use their software, or they don't. I've seen both huge corporate products and small free software projects that both clearly do not care much about whether someone can get their program working easily.

And I've also seen both paid software and free software that care immensely about getting you started and keeping you going.

Are you sure it's because of the insulation? Many condos are sweltering in the middle spring (even with heat off) because residents living on floors below yours crank the heat and it all rises.

When I lived in a condo (Bloor/Yonge), the situation was so bad (12th floor) that if it hit 12°C outside, I needed to turn on the A/C, which is awful from an environmental POV.
>If the same program is behaving differently between two systems - it can -only- be the environment that’s different.

As a developer, I've generally used configuration files for changing the operation of my software and environment variables for information my code needs to know about WHERE the code is running. For example, the same code doing the exact same thing on 10 machines would have the same configuration file (or command line parameters in simpler cases) but the environment variables may change from machine to machine.
I think it's deceptive to put it at 99.9%. That might be true for oxycontin abuse now since law enforcement started acting, but not necessarily so for doctors that brush away minority concerns or women's concerns or are just ignorant of those and then won't admit to it. There's probably other concerns which are not as obviously illegal as oxy abuse, but those still cause you to lose trust.
The solution to the Stallman problem at the FSF is probably as simple as removing his name from everything, posting some announcement on a “non-free” website.

He’ll never notice to cause trouble about it, he lives in a bubble.

Soon the problem will just solve itself, given his age and various obvious physical issues he’ll be dead in the next few years anyway.

Hi
It's not secret, it's updateable, and doesn't need to be running constantly, and doesn't need to be proprietary.

It's possible to just not load the modem firmware and have Pinephone as a device with two ARM SoCs both running mainline Linux and open bootloader. ;)

You'll just not be able to use EG25-G as a modem with modem FW not loaded. There are also options in between.
On Facebook at least it's easy to hide all posts from news and mass-sharing pages as they show up in your feed. So you'll see them once and then never again.
All of those places can also be read.

SSH agent is a good example. It’s effectively an environment var which is why this works fine:

sudo SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$SSH_AUTH_SOCK git clone ...

Edit:

The reason I think it’s silly to make a blanket statement environment vars are bad is because too many containers have credentials baked into the image when they should be passed in another way.
Thanks, this is helpful to keep in mind. I somewhat arbitrarily decided I needed to do 2 per week, on Tuesdays and Fridays (why? who knows!).
