Typical energy efficiency of heating is comparable to AC. The baseline solution is using waste heat from electricity generation and industrial processes. Geothermal heat pumps have become popular in the past decade or two, and lake/seawater heat pumps are seen as the future of district heating systems in dense cities.

The big difference is insulation. On the average, houses that need heating are better insulated than houses that need air conditioning.
Couldn't agree more.

On a more socio-economic note: I moved from DC to PHX 5 years ago thinking I'd gtfo after 3 months, because, you know, it's PHX.

Despite my best efforts I really love it; you find so much more value in places you believe to have none.

Great cost of living, a HUGE variety human experiences, and a massive airport where you can catch a cheap flight out! I live in downtown PHX (I can see the basketball arena as I type this) and it's wonderful. I truly believe that PHX is seeing a boom akin to Detroit's in the mid-20th century. Hopefully we don't get that bust.

Whether or not you can blow a speaker has nothing to do with what kind of signal you are sending it but the power you send to the speaker.

In other words, whether the current going through the speaker is sufficient to either overheat the voice-coil, or to drive the speaker-cone beyond its physical limits.

These are qualities pertaining to the speaker itself, not the PC's output. The easy answer to the question is "It depends".
The author talks about climate change, but it seems he doesn't know that cold-weather cities use more energy in heating than hot-weather cities use in cooling. Also the energy sources used in heating (oil, propane and natural gas) contribute more to global warming than the electricity energy mix used for cooling.

The north-east is going to have an expensive reckoning as they build billions of dollars of off-shore windfarms to start catching up to the renewable energy production that is already in the Southern US, and also the tens of millions of households that will need to replace their furnaces and boilers with heat pumps to stop burning fossil fuels to heat their homes.

I love how this “article” completely glosses over the fact that the northeast/Midwest gets devastating snowstorms that cripple entire states for days at a time. These “polar vortexes” are clearly becoming more severe and more common as the earth’s weather continues to spiral out of control.

So the options are move somewhere where it’s hell on earth for a portion of the year, move somewhere where it’s a frozen wasteland for a portion of the year, or move somewhere temperate along the coast which is also going to be impacted by climate change.

Author should get off their high horse.

Oakland is similar in SF Bay Area, used to be quite livable 15 years ago.

Californians (and people from west coast states) that move there also bring their unchecked progressive views and will lead to the situation that we have in SF Bay Area, Portland, Seattle, LA and now Austin, Denver. Rampant homelessness, housing crisis, exploding crime rates, etc. No one wants to live in a society that keeps peddling failed policies. I can't wait to move out of Bay Area.

Yes but You'll've always had a bad time because it was always bad. Yet people somehow still live there. So having a "bad time" isn't a reason not to live there.

"Arizona already averages more than 50 dangerous heat days a year, the second highest in the nation. By 2050, Arizona is projected to see almost 80 such days a year."

From 50 days to 80 is the difference between good and bad place to live? No. This is just handwaving nonsense. Not every worsening is a showstopper.
For a while, yeah. After a few months of seclusion, I felt completely trapped with no way out. Knowing you're not alone in your situation doesn't make being alone in your life feel any better.

The military is not a business with business constraints. If cost and power draw is no concern, then sure, it's possible. Hell, put a little AC unit beside the enclosure.

These are CPEs and they're sold at a tremendous loss already (a quick google says a whopping $2500 loss on a $500 price tag!). They won't stay in business long if they burn an extra $500 per device to make it suitable for a couple thousand extra customers.

Mount it in a kiddie pool with a pump to reclaim the water. Starlink can sell it as a package deal: dish, pool, pump Extreme Weather package. Complete with puncture repair kit for the pool.

Of course there's still evaporation, so you just station a half dozen condensing dehumidifiers around the pool to capture as much as you can in the immediate area and feed it back into the system.

And there you go: For just a few $thousand in supplemental equipment you get cheap broadband.
There's a cost to building multiple SKUs. Also you massively overestimate the cost of materials for withstanding such temperatures.

I don't expect that the developer did anything that would require players experienced with SMW to change their memorized routing. (If I were them, I'd be using 100%-playthrough TAS .smv files from the unmodified SMW as conformance tests, to ensure none of my changes "desynced" existing strategies for the game.)

What might be different, on the other hand, are subtle things about un-loading. I bet an .smv of the SMW credits warp wouldn't work on this patched ROM. (Not least because, IIRC, this patched ROM is based on an older set of SMW patches by the same author, that — among other features — has a sprite-limit removal patch, that improves the game's OAM memory-management algorithm.)

-----

But also, IIRC, the enemy/platform spawning (really, the loading seam) in SMW occurs far-enough outside of the viewport normally, that it might still be outside of (or just at the edge of) the expanded 16:9 viewport.

Recall that in SMW, you can explicitly scroll the viewport in the game (by pressing L/R). The game engine was necessarily designed around the assumption that, at any time you're in a free-camera scene (most of the time when you're not in an autoscroll area or small room), your viewport has an arbitrary horizontal scroll offset within some defined range. For gameplay to be deterministic/testable under such an assumption, the loading seam must be programmed to occur outside of that manually-scrollable region.

I'm guessing that the basic "insight" of this widescreen patch, is that in most areas of the game, the screen can be made exactly as wide as the entirety of the coverage-area of the camera's player-controlled scroll region, with no effects on gameplay; because the game was already designed to work "the same" within any sub-region of that area, and "all of it" happens to be such a sub-region. Presumably, this patch makes the screen exactly that wide, and then removes your ability to scroll the camera any further using L/R. (Without that last bit, you'd be very likely able to see pop-in by scrolling the screen even slightly.)

This would also mean that any area that was designed for a fixed or restricted camera (e.g. autoscroll areas; boss rooms; etc), may have been optimized by the original level designers under that assumption, and so "packed" with stuff that might load at the wrong time, or in the wrong order, if the loading seam were expanded (as it likely would have to be to make these areas look good.) Not having looked yet at the developer's progress reports for this patch on Twitter, I would pre-register a guess that fixing these types of rooms is where the majority of the work in making this patch went (beyond just adding more border tiles to small rooms.)
Yes, it's a kind of slippery slope: as typically set up, changes are biased towards degrading quality. If you run a normal significance test and your null is leaving it unchanged, then you will only ever ratchet downwards in quality: you either leave it unchanged, or you have a possibly erroneous choice which trades off quality for degradation, and your errors will accumulate over many tests in a sorites. I discuss this in the footnote about Schlitz - to stop this, you need a built-in bias towards quality, to neutralize the bias of your procedures, or to explicitly consider the long-term costs of mistakes and to also test quality improvements as well. (Then you will be the same on average, only taking tradeoffs as they genuinely pay for themselves, and potentially increasing quality rather than degrading it.)
This is a fascinating article because at the surface level it appears to be high quality information. It looks nice. It's well written. It speaks in the kind of sweeping generalities and economic lingo that give it an air of authority.

But by the time I got about 3/4 of the way through, I realized that this was basically just some random blogger's opinion piece with little to no research or data to back it up. It falls apart if you squint at it.

First of all, the title implies that some general directional trend is at play, but then cherrypicks just a couple of cities. I'm not sure how Miami of all places is a good example of people moving west.

Also, attributing the success of the handful of cherrypicked cities to "marketing" is... bizarre. These are actual places with actual history that people can form real opinions of based on what the place is actually like to live in. People don't live in Austin because someone told them to live in Austin. They live there because they love it, a property they are able to accurately perceive for themselves independent of marketing telling them what to think.

I don't like to be negative online but this article is just not very good.

Things can exist without being fundamental components of reality. A Lego house is still a Lego house, even if it ceases to be when the bricks are separated, and has no identity separate from those bricks save for what we assign it. The identity, such that there truly is one (does “truly” even make sense here?), is partly in the arrangement, which is not a tangible thing.

When we got ours serviced the guy told me that in Western Sydney the split systems sometimes shut down on the worst days when you need them due to heat in direct sunlight.

The gameplay and design heavily lean on there being a fixed aspect ratio so one would assume that expanding it would be a fairly challenging project.

the Blood Dragon tutorial could only had been made better if it was optional on subsequent playthrough. True, it's not a game people are likely to replay, but having to go through it again is a chore. I think the same could also be said for all "signposted" tutorials. Or maybe split the tutorials in optional categories, so that any players can tailor their experience "I've never played a video game", "I've never played a game in this genre", "I'm new to the series", "just show me the new stuff"; of course such design would prevent from doing any story integration within the tutorial, so it might not be a good fit for all genres
They should come out with an iPad model that has a permanently attached keyboard and huge trackpad, and then do away with the touchscreen part entirely and make the OS just better all around for serious work. I bet they would sell a lot of those.
Replying to myself because I can't edit the comment.

As someone who has spent time in a combat unit, I can't come up with tactical or strategic advantages that this would create, even if you fully set morality aside. There are so many easier ways to suppress dissent or eliminate survivors that worrying about weaponizing this particular technology is like worrying about dropping toilets out of bombers; yea, you can kill people that way, but it's so impractical you have to ask if anyone is really going to try.

I was asking this as a serious question, in case I was missing something. But I still don't see it. This feels like it's so specialized that it'd be a dead end for anyone trying to weaponize it.
So a lot of the views she's angry against are because there's a tendency to consider extremes: would it be better for everyone in the world to be disabled, or not?

Surely it's easier to argue that we should have no people without legs rather than no people with legs

But that's not the question at hand. Maybe there's a benefit to diversity of perspectives. In which case the question should be is society better for having 1% (or 10% or 0.001%, anything above 0%) of the population disabled?

& there's the "everyone has different disabilities", some extreme would say I shouldn't've been born because I was diagnosed with ADHD. & the slippery slope of racial eugenics

Which all gets to this premise: we shouldn't be trying to create a world with a population of 10 billion clones

Now whether the natural diversity ratio is too high or too low, I'll reserve comment
Wikipedia says C++ and Rust first appeared in ‘85 and ‘10 respectively. Therefore C++98 is a 13 year old version of C++ and Rust today is about 10 years old. It’s entirely possible that Wikipedia uses “first appeared” to mean different things in either article, but I’m assuming (rightly or wrongly) that they aren’t doing that.
Receive-only dishes are usually just a curved piece of metal with a fairly dumb LNB mounted on an arm. The Starlink "dish" isn't a traditional parabolic reflector, it is a phased array antenna with electronics under the surface.
Good point. Reader beware! There are sites that seem to give good evidenced based and well researched answers. Even then when you go to the doctor and say “I read about x can I get that tested” it might be “sure you can get a test but the information cannot guide treatment so it’s not worth it” so in that case maybe the doctor knows the details better than you could ever hope by searching the internet. But the internet is a good way (and not including avoiding YouTube!!) if building up an initial mental model, then you can suggest things to doctor and see how they respond.

I feel that if you go in blind you are at more risk of a lazy doctor doing the 3 things lazy doctors live to reach for as a snap judgement: antidepressants, antibiotics and a psychologist referral.
For anyone looking to buy Steelcase brand new, it's worth knowing that the warranty for the fabric component depends on which series of fabric you choose from. The hardware components are all covered for 12 years, while the choice of fabric can land you the same 12 years… or as few as 5 years. The fabric options can be researched in advance[1]; find the matching swatch name/id, and check the bottom of the "Material Characteristics" tab for the warranty.

In Metamine there are two different modes of assignment

x = y is an equation, any time the expression y changes, x will be recomputed

a := b is an assignment, it only happens once, like we're all used to.

It is profoundly powerful to be able to use them both in one program. There appears to be a type associated with them, you can't assign to an equation variable, and vice versa.
I appreciate that this is a novel non-knee-jerk take on social media but not sure I fully buy it, mostly because the way commerce/the algorithm modifies this “stage” in real time. Art/performance always has and will have some commercial aspect, but it’s usually appears before and after but not during. Maybe the closest analog would be the improvising comedian that takes the set into a direction depending on what people laugh at. But then how do you account for the total opaque interests/influence of the algorithm?

So are vaccinations causing excess deaths? Just remember that correlations to not imply causation. To understand why, imagine repeating this analysis using a sliding window with a width of one year. In the last year, you will see an increase in excess deaths and vaccinations. It does not imply vaccinations cause excess deaths. The causation goes the other way... the excess deaths caused the vaccinations
> You're just seeing the system work.

This sounds reasonable, and you make excellent points. But the important fact we all have to remember in these discussions is not the details, but that SpaceX is run by Elon Musk.
Nope, namely if you suggest they decide to move. But other taxpayers has to pay to help them continue comfortable live as they live now.
> I'm not saying 118 is for everyone but if you have shade you won't die.

Yeah, barely. I once spent a day in the shade at 113F waiting for a bus with a friend. We played chess and it was the dumbest game ever. We could barely function. Without aircon nobody is doing anything very much at that temperature.

You can survive, just, at 118F but you can't live.
I am sure an IRL hostage situation alrrady happened at an hospital, so we could have the answer in a variety of cases.

My opinion would be the hospital should open up to the police and accept their fate whatever the outcome. The gov./police makes the calculation of the impact of X people dying a very public way, the Y amount that is requested, and the ton of other wildcards (e.g. can we catch the gang now ? after the ransom is paid ? void the ransom some way afterwards ? limit the number of death in other ways ? what will the other victims take away fom this case ?).

At the end of it there should be a custom approach to that specific situation and not some blanklet policy application.

This also assumes a cooperative and somewhat decent police force, which might not be the case everywhere (but then I think we're screwed anyway)
