I moved from SF to CO. In the process I bought a JLG drop deck trailer to move heavy machines between my SF workshop and my new house near boulder.

If you are like me and
a. have very heavy tools. (e.g. Lathes, Milling machines, etc)
b. don't have a forklift

check out drop deck trailers. I didn't know they existed before, and can often be rented in addition to bought, and are really a game changer. You can roll pallets right on, or winch very heavy things onto them without ever needing to pick them up.

You can hit ~60% of total electricity generation using solar with 0 storage. Wind is still cheap even if mostly used at night, add in existing hydroelectric dams and natural gas generators and you’re there.

You only need storage if you want to hit 100% green grid which is a great goal but separate issue from simply saving money.

Seconded. Manjaro's stable channel is the best of both worlds -- a meticulously manicured package ecosystem with just enough time lag behind the bleeding edge that it's very rare for a bad patch to sneak in. I think it's happened to me once in just over four years now?
> This can be a VERY expensive fix.

The question for this sort of thing isn't how expensive it is absolutely but weather or not it's more expensive than building more housing in the area, and I doubt it's more expensive than that.

Ye Olde "luxury apartments are expensive" argument. If supply actually met demand then it would look more like the east coast where younger people with low salaries can afford these sorts of apartments with no roommates.
I’ve found that a small amount of mathematical rigor reduces the size of most complex code by a few orders of magnitude.

It has the effect of short circuiting the complexity of the problem, because it defines all the corner cases in a compact form.

Interface with sloppy spaghetti systems can usually be hidden away at the edges of the system. The main problem is that less experienced engineers invariably come in and say, “A ha! I have a special corner case that doesn’t fit the abstraction.” and then try to add copy paste methods, boundary violations, and so on.

As long as there’s someone that diligently guards against such things, it works out OK. Results vary wildly after those people leave.

HP printer drivers are a famous example of the sort of complexity reduction I’m talking about. They used to copy the entire source tree for each printer (font rasterizer, dithering algorithms, and all), then assign a full time team to maintain it.

Eventually they had many thousands of full time engineers maintaining the result, and print quality was still terrible across the product line.

The open source drivers reverse engineered the printers, and factored out as much common logic as possible. The printer specific code was then reduced to just implementing the wire protocol and device geometry stuff. At that point, they had better output than HP, with 1% the developer resources.

Someone at HP did the same thing internally, reimplemented all the drivers in a unified way, and was promptly promoted to the executive team.
Prepone is not a word in American Standard English. Or casual American English. Nobody uses it, although we should. It's totally logical from "postpone", but languages are not rational or logical.

If something is to become a word, people need to actually use it in the first place. Indian English is different than American English is different than Black American English is different than UK English.
I'd agree with that, but my Ez predates the time period of this question. :-)

I was a fairly good touch-typist before the Ez, but it did take me about 3-5 days of feeling like I was learning to type all over again. Some of that was the thumb clusters, some of that was getting rid of some bad habits. I used to type the "b" key with the wrong hand, which isn't a good option on a split keyboard. I also used to always look at the numbers when I typed them, and I got blank keycaps on the Ez to break myself of the habit. Oh, and I used to always press shift with my right pinky only, and I wanted to break myself of that.

I also switched to i3wm tiling window manager at the same time, so I customized the keymap for that.

Love the Ez. Though, I did go through quite a phase of "Surely the perfect keyswitch is on the other side of this fence... I'd tried Gaetron Brown, Cherry Blue, Cherry Brown, Kailh Box White. At the office, the blues were just too loud, but I loved the feel. The Cherry Browns were fine. The Kailh I currently have in around 1/3 of the switches in my home keyboard, where I'm not as noise constrained, and they feel fine, and they're probably quiet enough for the office. They feel good, but I honestly have a hard time telling which has it and which has the Cherry Brown.

If at all possible, don't go down the "which switch is right for me" rabbit hole...

Plants are amazing. I have created a small garden all using plants in the pots in my front patio at my apartment and have grown veggies such as tomatoes, bell peppers and lime along with flowering plants. I also keep a bird feeder and a bird bath nearby the bushy plants. Totally worth it as it keeps my and my wife's mood cheerful just by looking at bees, butterflies and hummingbird coming to flowers and birds coming to feeder and bath. It also keeps my engineering mind occupied with processes such as watering, fertilizing, weeding and pruning etc every few days to see outcome of more flowers and more veggies growing from well taken cared plants.

I don't know. Listen to yourself. There are a lot of companies out there that manage people well, and also didn't have such pervasive sexism problems. Let's talk about those instead.

And before you say no such company exists, listen, I personally just don't say and do obviously sexist shit. It's really easy! A lot of people go their whole lives without farting on someone's face, unlike that Riot exec. So of course if you can't get these basic things right - if you don't know you can't fart on people's faces - why are we elevating your opinion on "self managed teams"?

The bigger takeaway here is that their sexism problem was so much more devastating than their executives could have ever anticipated. It has miscolored every single aspect of what they do, a complete trashing of years of hard work by thousands of people. Why in the world would you ever want to work for these people? There are a lot of shitty MOBAs out there, truly, there is nothing they have besides a player count, that will someday be zero that no one else has or ever will have.

It's important to note that as for any thin-sole shoe, it takes time to get used to what is much more like walking barefoot - your foot placement and posture changes, as you use the ball of your foot and your calf more. Think of it as the difference between running with a heel/neutral strike with padded running shoes and a toe-strike when running barefoot.

Re. longer hikes and rocks, the sole is well protected and quite tough - they are indeed built for hiking; consider walking briefer hikes in them for a while so that your foot / calf muscles to get used to the difference before taking on long and more exhausting hikes that increase the chances of a twisted ankle.

Shane is not a teenager, neither Ariadne, Freenode is not a kiddie thing, Freenode founder was already adult when he founded it, they had a 503 setup in the US with all the bureaucracy, had to move to UK for legal reasons, had visits from the FBI (it is mentioned in one of the logs).

Offering tools to ban your enemies, while you know the network even had FBI involved in it, doesn't sound to me like childish behaviour.
Kubernetes itself tries Very Hard to completely abstract those implementation details. Like, obsessively hard. You (assuming "you" are somebody who wants to run something in k8s) should never need to know or care what it's doing "under the hood" to run your pod in the way you say.

What's happened though is that Kubernetes expects for you to hand it an artifact that encapsulates all of the messy steps required before it can "run the thing." In practice that means the "run the script and symlink stuff" kind of glue is still present, it's just moved into Dockerfiles (which are, more or less, just fancy shell scripts themselves), build scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and startup scripts.

The big shift is more that the responsibility for managing this junk is pushed, organizationally, onto whoever knows how to operate the actual application (because they'll be creating the Dockerfile). Usually that's a developer.

So it's not wrong to say:

> With kubernetes, you write down the state you want your infrastructure to be in, and k8s figures out how to get there

But it's not really a complete explanation, because it assumes you've already gotten to the point that you've bundled an artifact up that will "do the right thing" when Kubernetes provides the fundamental pieces of infrastructure you define in your template.

> "Smart" people would save and invest, and have better "pensions" than they'd have in the current system

Well, if, and only if, their investments have positive gains.

Also you can (depending on the country) pay today extra money into retirements and pension funds which are a kind of financial investments. But good luck figuring out how much of the money goes actually into administering the funds and is deducted from your payment before any investment is made. If these funds were usually an advantageous deal, their conditions would be a lot more transparent.

My take is more or less: Pension is a kind of insurance (you do not know how long you are going to live), so it should be low-risk. If you have extra money, you can invest that - but there is no investment without real risks, so it has to be money which you can really afford to lose.

Basically, insofar as the perturbation does not impact more than the local lattice structure (sometimes just a few NM across), the overall lattice (therefore properties) will be rather unaffected. I know pure crystals will often have embedded impurities (ie: precursor residues in the product). The impact for the DNA change is that DNA is used to create downstream materials, whereas materials are generally used because of their properties directly. As long as a defect does not impact to a great extent the general properties of the material, it is irrelevant.

In terms of movement inside a lattice structure, the only real movement is vibrational and rotational movement, so global effects because of particles moving about has far lower influence.
This happens everywhere. The devil is in details. If we use an application and the surface we see looks simple, we assume it must be simple to build :) Then we start to see all the complexity behind.

Zojirushi Neuro Fuzzy rice cooker. So far I've only had it for ~2 months, but I really enjoy it. Although rice is a big part of my diet, I didn't know a "high-end" rice cooker existed until I wanted to upgrade the tiny 3-cup Imusa cooker I've had through college. I suppose I'll have to see if the thing stands the test of time (the reviews suggest it should!), but for now, the consistency and quality it provides has made me really happy.

My brother's wife is from the Shetland islands. He'd always know when she was on the phone to her family, because she would drop straight into the dialect without realising it. The thing is, the Shetlanders know that their dialect is sufficiently different, so they learn TV English as well so they can make themselves understood to outsiders.
Came here to say this as well. The original touch screens are garbage in the presence of high humidity, making me slightly hate Anova for such a terrible design decision (of course they will be exposed to high humidity!), but I still suffer through using it, basically keeping the temp locked on 130°F (because changing the temp is too risky to get it stuck with the flaky touchscreen).

Cooking with it though is great.

A year and a half ago, I would have believed you but I think the data from the stimulus payments in the U.S. shows that a substantial portion of that money went to pay down debt and into savings. I think credit card debt went down something like 14.5% over 2020. Maybe some of this is attributable to the fact there was less availability for experiential spending, but people certainly had availability for buying consumer goods online. And some are expecting the debt to incur faster once the pandemic is fully in the rearview, but it's enough for me to question the strength of my previous conviction that giving people money automatically means they spend it on consumerism.

Or the customer emptied a large (inexpensive) package and hid a smaller (more valuable) item inside, leaving the unwitting cashier to scan the larger package at checkout and now counts for both items are off.

Or the vendor discontinued the item and replaced it with a slightly different one, but they both got put in under the same stock number and are hanging on the same hook.

Linus knows what he knows, but he has some significant blindspots. Here, it's the existence of languages other than C. I think this argument basically doesn't apply to any interpreted or JITted language.

I wouldn't be at all worried about deploying my Ruby, Python, or Java app on ARM, having worked with x86 locally.

That is, as long as the Ruby, Python, and Java development teams themselves have been able to test on ARM hardware themselves!

> " 'Because 'native' refers to the language you spoke as a child,' she answered with a tender, patient look."

Most people think of it like that because it's accurate in like 99.999% of cases, but that's not what "native speaker" means. It's more like, "is fluent and only learned through immersion, not from a class or relating words to another language" - which is how all children learn their first language, but is far less common as adults.

So native speakers mostly learn through memorization and internalizing grammar over a long period, instead of explicitly learning the rules of a language. That's why "prepone" is confusing - native speakers don't learn "postpone" as "post + pone", but as a single unit, so in an area where it's not a normal word, "prepone" is far less likely to be interpreted as "pre + pone", and more likely to be a new word entirely.

In Developer Mode, you can develop and test software for the console, but you cannot play retail games or run retail apps.
