Resources maybe, since you’d get sunlight from the star plus whatever material is caught in its orbit.

Fuel, no. You’d spend the exact same amount of fuel catching up to this star and eventually leaving its orbit as you’d spend just travelling across the universe alone at the same speed. You’d only save fuel if you used the star for a slight shot maneuver, where you steal a tiny amount of its energy to accelerate you, but this would preclude you spending the voyage in the orbit of this rogue star.
Back in my gearhead-while-renting days I constructed a massive HD extension cable to access the indoor split-phase dryer outlet from out in the garage for non-invasively running my TIG welder.

If I had an EV back then the same practice would have worked perfectly fine.

But judging from the amount of negativity I received back then WRT powering my welder, I wouldn't be surprised if very few are being resourceful in this way. Even if they have an attached garage and access to appliance outlets somewhere in a rental, people seem to have an irrational fear of electricity.
At my SF apartment, a very old building in the Richmond district, I was quoted $3200 to install a 40 amp circuit to my parking spot.

It is my legal right in California to have this installed (at my own expense) but... is it worth it? I don’t even know how long I will stay here.
Interesting.

I once worked for AMD, back when they had fabs, so I can speak to that a bit.

There was once a time when IBM paid for new semiconductor manufacturing technology. Applied Materials and TEL and others would actually make the equipment, but IBM would pay for the development at each new node. Then, eventually, they decided they wouldn't pay, they would wait for someone else to do it, because cutting-edge semi's wasn't a core need for them any more.

So, Intel became the new source of funding for research on new production nodes. There were various semi industry consortiums that coordinated all of this, but still someone had to step up with the billions that were required for each new node, and for a while it was Intel that did this.

But then, eventually, the costs of R&D for each new node kept rising faster than the money you got for it, especially given that TSMC and Samsung and the rest also got to buy the new manufacturing equipment from Applied Materials and TEL and so forth, even though they hadn't sunk in the R&D cost to fund it. So, it ended up that the actual new R&D started to be done by the upstream companies that made the equipment which was bought for the fabs. This was already happening by the late 90's when I left the industry; actual semi manuf R&D was done at the equipment manufacturers, not at Intel; Intel was just the one with the financing. It worked until it didn't.

TSMC execs have been quoted as saying they "outsourced their sales and marketing" to American companies.
The typical JS heap is above 90MB out of the box. Locker service is the main culprit for that, and Locker Service does cause some slowdown. Server-side, they are multitenant and the tenants you are sharing compute with are frequently running massive data operations on a regular basis. Those tenants have no incentive to get things running faster because they don't pay for compute hours. As long as the operations run within Salesforce's governor limits, who cares?

Salesforce's response to the client-side half of the problem is migrating from Aura to Lightning Web Components. LWC is statically analyzable and Aura is not, so they can get some optimizations in that way. On the flip-side, LWC is a piss-poor framework because of how they've stunted it for optimization's sake.

Half of the beauty of Salesforce as a developer is the fact that I can build in a month what would typically take a standard web dev team a year to piece together. That's only true so long as my team works in Aura with all of the scaffolding tools and libraries we've built over the years.

You don’t need 240V. 120V works just fine (and this is MORE true for large battery EVs than small), but landlords don’t let you do use them for charging your car.

What we need is for landlords to allow charging on 120V outlets. Normalize it. Actually mandate it be allowed. And cheaply, too. (Landlords would quickly discover affordable ways to accommodate charging.)
> so you're stuck with technicians that only have repair manuals, along with spare parts of everything

Tell me more about how people hate writing documentation, and then tell me how they can't shut the fuck up about not having it when they need it.

This is a peeve of mine.

What do you expect?
Black hole's aren't really defined by mass though - they're defined by spacetime curvature. Specifically, inside the event horizon of a blackhole, every possible vector winds up at the singularity.

A very speedy object however doesn't look like this: objects it passes have vectors which take them away from it. So while it can warp spacetime with that mass, it can't form an event horizon - there are vectors which lead things away from it and thus can escape.

[EDIT: I had to go do some reading to check up on this and it actually has an analogue to electromagnetism: moving objects develop gravitational effects perpendicular to their direction of motion, essentially this is one of the origins of gravitational waves - but it's also important to the overall point, which is that even if you had infinite gravitational acceleration perpendicular to your direction of travel, you've got numerous other degrees of freedom where this doesn't happen and thus escape vectors - so no event horizon though you might suffer a lot of damage and be spagettified anyway]

Black holes only work when you have a point force exerting uniform acceleration in all directions towards itself - beyond a key point, no attainable velocity ever results in an object not moving towards you.

Whereas a speedy object has an obvious one: just jump off the back of it (i.e. accelerate slightly against it's vector) and your trajectory now points you away from it.

Not true, unless you specifically mean 240V.

Exceptionally valuable. I got most of my jobs through LinkedIn recruiters reaching out, including from big tech companies as well. I never post or look at the timeline feed however, which is as atrocious as any other social media feed.

However, some people have told me that they post often and build up their own audience on LinkedIn that they can then sell to, whether it be a product, course, service or others. Through this, they've made a lot of money.
Large battery EVs (like Teslas) can be charged quickly and have similar range to an ICE. But really we need to install 120V outlets near all on-street parking.
most info is from 2001. about only 20% (some graphs and tables / descriptions) are updated in 2016.
The worst one is a tool that lets you invest a lot of time in creating a result, then refuses to let you see/download/print/submit it without creating an account. This requirement is not disclosed until you have invested a lot of time in the product.

This is very common with price calculators and online image editors.
Get a plug in hybrid. This is really the best foot in the door for most people who want to go electric.
I would love to see the shakeup with more efficient chips pressuring Intel to innovate in the datacenter space. Being able to decrease our hosting bill would reflect well on me, and it just seems like the way the space will eventually progress.

However, I run a hackintosh at home. I personally love it; I had access to top of the line hardware years before Apple offered it, with an OS that I understand and work well in, etc. It is absolutely not the way to go for any kind of must-work production. It is brittle. Apple is in the enviable position of being the only consumer of its APIs, and they barely publish documentation on the public stuff, much less internal-only provisions. Unless Apple explicitly supports (read: $$$$) a datacenter application, I can only see burning buildings (from all the hair on fire) where stable datacenters should be.
After installing the official app I can’t remember why I was so resistant to installing it in the first place. Why do you resist?
Solar and EVs seem orthogonal, here.
Every new multi family I've seen in the SFBA since 2015 has had charging stations in the garage. Last building in RWC was ~50% of the stalls. SF was 25% or so.
Every grocery store I've been at has had 1-5 EV charging stations. Most of the peninsula office complexes have charging at them.
All of these are code requirements on new construction. Just takes time to turn things like EPA superfund sites into offices and apartments.
It’s regressive in isolation. Only rich people are buying electric cars. I don’t think saying the money comes from rich people in the first place changes the analysis.
I hadn't heard of that. Interesting idea. My first reaction was 'the bus probably does not stop long enough for that to be useful.' But I'm wrong. If the charger can deliver 250kW, which seems reasonable enough, it would deliver enough juice in 10 seconds to get the bus to the next stop, on average.
Happens everywhere hardly anyone seems to know the difference between amps, volts, watts ,watt-hours, ac or dc.

Somewhat related horsepower and torque and their relationship to each other is completely misunderstood by almost everyone I know.

This stuff should really be taught at a young age, its not hard and applies to so many things around us in our daily lives.
As an EV owner with the luxury of having a charger in my garage, one of the joys is having a “full tank” in the morning, as EV owners like to say. It truly is life-changing. I was ready to dismiss this article as nonsense.

There must be some reform for those living with a condo association.
Hassle? "over 70% lacked access to Level 2 charging at home." Maybe dealers could help out with a (mandatory?!) at-cost installation.

Many/most homes have access to 220v service. 80 amps at 220v will supply 40kW in 2-1/2 hours. http://garagechargers.com/ev-charging-calculations

Edit: This site estimates EV-station install costs by Zip code. (US average $750. Or about 200 gal of $4 gasoline.) https://www.homeadvisor.com/cost/garages/install-an-electric...
Oof - yes, that repair is going to cost a lot more than a new motor or burrs for a coffee grinder!
The cost of electricity for landlords would go up quite a bit if everyone was charging their car all the time. It is cheaper than gas, but it isn't free.

They offer the Mac as a Complete Product™, An Experience™ (with the OS) – basically since the original 80s Macintosh. Apple is a vertically integrated gadget business. They just aren't in the bare metal hardware business and have no reason to be there (probably doing that would only confuse the product customers).

Because of all this, when they decided to transition the Mac to custom chips, they just took the whole iDevice stack and did the absolute bare minimum changes to make it into a "technically a general purpose computer" stack. It runs basically iPhone firmware expanded to allow OS choice. They made zero effort to use any industry standards, because there was no business reason to put any effort into that, unfortunately. So we have this very unusual SoC (fucking custom interrupt controller! Even Broadcom stopped doing that crap!) running very unusual firmware (iBoot, everything is Mach-O and stuff, and the OS choice screen is actually a little macOS app). But hey it's not locked down because the Mac line is supposed to be general purpose computers, so go ahead and port Linux but you're on your own.
A major incident that cost each validation client roughly 30 cents worth of missed validations? I’d love to know what qualifies as a minor incident!
Honestly this sounds more like what I'd regularly expect for _any_ new purchase of high value. Many people rush into buying "the hottest thing" without doing their proper research ahead of time, determining what the impact on their life will be, etc. This says less to me about EV charging being a "hassle" and more about humans being resistant to change, not to mention the lack of general public acceptance (landlords) of charging infrastructure.
Charging stations will be as easy to find as gas stations are now, when EV's go beyond niche. They most certainly will, but folks who adopt new technologies first usually run into daily usage hassles.
It's more of glass half full/empty. I think they picked right because the reverse headline would sound bizarre: 80% of EV owners didn't switch back to gas because or charging hassles.
Expert witness on reasonable industry practices, perhaps? But the deck might be easy to stack. Hmm.

I suspect it's solvable if society has at least a slightly coherent idea of what's desired though.

No one uses GPUs to mine bitcoin and soon Ethereum won't even use proof of work mining algorithms. Crypto isn't really causing the shortage of cards its a mix of scalpers intentionally buying every single GPU on the market for a profit and low supply due to the pandemic. It will straighten out soon enough.

Scalpers are the ones who should be targeted. Put your effort into organizing mass reporting, takedowns of their listings, fake bids, etc. There is a lot you can do.
You will still have the annoyance of search results only opening the official client but Apollo is a great app made by a single developer who has put a lot of time and effort into the app. He (Christian) is also very active on the /r/apolloapp subreddit and communicates upcoming features/bug fixes. Apollo does have an option to scan your Copy/Paste buffer so when you open the app, and if there is a reddit link in your buffer, it can open it for you. The downside is you will always see "Apollo read the clipboard" (or whatever the iOS message is) when you open Apollo. Another workaround is to create (or use an existing [0]) iOS shortcut. The way this works is you will pretend you are sharing the reddit page and then click on the shortcut and it will launch Apollo and open the page you are on. The shortcut is pretty basic, just uses some string replacement and Apollo's url scheme to achieve it.

Herbs List – A simple guide to medicinal herbs
Learn to bulletproof your body with different herbs. We only have one life, take care of it.
Even simpler without the math:

Let’s say you eat a piece of cake. You say, “hmm, salty, sweet, fruity, nice texture.” Let’s call those attributes the “principal components” of the cake from your point of view. Are there others? Maybe you could have also said “moist, or fluffy,” but you didn’t because those weren’t as obvious, so not as important.

When the cake was made, according to the recipe, there were no instructions on how to add “sweet” or “fruity.” Instead, there was a list of ingredients: sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, flour, water, baking powder, etc. The mixture of these ingredients in the quantities dictated (plus the baking) resulted in the cake having the characteristics that you described. Some of the characteristics have a strong reliance on just one or two ingredients, e.g. “sweet” with “sugar,” and some characteristics are the result of subtle combinations of many ingredients, e.g. “texture.”

The list of characteristics (principal components) definitely describe the cake, but in a more convenient and relevant way. You don’t need the whole list of ingredients to describe the cake. This is what makes principal component analysis useful.

Yes, he specifically means 240V because that's what's usually required for Level 2 charging unless you're 120V supports 20amps. You can get NEMA 5-20 outlets, but most apartments or rentals don't have them and only support 15 amps on a circuit.

This is certainly a clever hack. But it makes things cheaper and easier for the website owner at the expense of the users. This kind of solution will add to the bloat that is making the web unusable enough that people are seriously proposing a remote browser as a solution for desktop users (remember Mighty the other day?). We shouldn't let the cleverness distract us from this drawback.

I think most of us would agree that they've changed society for the worse. It pains me as a starry-eyed techie kid from the 90s that this is what we've done. Life was so much better before social media.

But yes, they've dramatically changed society.
It’s really pretty cheap. The cost of the electricity is less than the fully burdened cost of a parking space; certainly than a full garage space. And people already have to pay for that. So if it was normalized (ie everyone did it, not just 5% of renters), then it wouldn’t be a problem as you just roll that into the rent for the spot. And if it was significant they could add a cheap submeter or a timed smart outlet (there’s a startup opportunity here, BTW...).
My experience is:

technique > SPEAKERS > amplifier > pickups + strings > everything else

Most people don’t have a lot of speakers to swap in and out so don’t notice it, or they use combo amps, or they just leave an amp hooked up to the same speakers. If you switch between an open-back 1x12 and a closed-back 4x12 stack with completely different speakers, the difference is HUGE.
A little company I worked for ~20 years ago (Michigan, U.S.A.) had a female UPS driver. Her route was ~99% residential - so extremely few bathrooms. (Vs. it was easy, then, for UPS drivers delivering to office buildings, restaurants, etc.) We made it clear that she was free to use our bathroom at any time. She made it clear that our package delivery time & pick-up time could be far, far better than "that's where you are on my route" when we needed them to be.

(And I'm sure more things got shipped UPS than should have...I guess you'd call that "UPS's cut" of the deal.)
I dont know if you've noticed, but most programmers actually do care about performances. They just are bad at it. Software are slow precisely because programmers dont get it: optimising all the code will make slow software. They spend their budget optimising 99% of the code and end up with no more money to make that last 1% fast. For real (game engine programmer speaking). Plus optimising all the code make all the code unreadable which drains even more money from budget. Just as OP said.
I don't know -- this write-up and visualization completely aligns with my experience building mobile web apps.

Over the past few years, I have been for real disappointed that Safari did not support: Vibration API, Push API, ResizeObserver, AudioWorklets, and on and on.

And then the product people say, quite reasonably, "Well, I guess we'll just need to build a native iOS app and pay the 'Apple tax'". Over which I don't think Apple are shedding many tears...
One thing that helps for me is to reduce the supply of information. I disabled as many feeds and suggestions as possible, if necessary with ad blockers. My Facebook and LinkedIn feeds are literally empty. I've been aggressively cutting notifications and incoming emails from all sources. I also interact far less on social media, so I rarely get pulled back in. I have fewer and fewer ways to kill time online.

On the phone itself, all notifications are off except for instant messages. I don't have any social media apps, only utilities. There's nothing to do on my phone anymore.

I found that MacOS' screen time notification is a great incentive to step away from the computer. My average screen time is a few hours less than it was a few weeks ago.

You should also pay attention to what triggers a look at your phone and work on that. Learning to fight the muscle reflex os important too.

could a black star swing around and accelerate wandering asteroids and comets; that would be a more frequent event, wouldn't it? what would be the likelyhood of running into an object like that in our solar system? wouldn't the friction with interstellar medium brake an object like that before it gets out of a galaxy?
