Few things:

Peukerts law does not really apply to lithiums [1] so with lead acid your capacity is greatly reduced if you do high amp draws.

You can really only use 50% of lead acid capacity without significantly effecting their lifetime, so most people cut the capacity in half when discussing, lithium can be run to 80% without issue and really even 100% with minimal loss and LFP's have much greater cycle than lead anyway so you probably pay less in the long run with a LFP than buying multiple lead.

LFP hold their voltage pretty consistently right up to the end of the discharge cycle while lead acid will drop significantly, this increases amp draw and has other negative effects (dimming light etc). The low internal resistance makes them pretty stiff voltage sources.

LFP accept bulk charge much longer before hitting absorb than lead so they can be charged much faster, this helps when charging from a generator as you don't have to run it as long to get full charge. Also you don't really have to worry about partial charging, where as with lead you want to do a full absorb regularly to keep their capacity up.

At least half the wieght.

Top tier lead AGM like Lifelines are basically the same price, I have these in my RV now and are a out 7 years old and now need to be replaced due to not holding a charge. Lifelines are considered gold standard and have high charge and discharge capability for lead acid, but LFP still blow them away, so no reason to go that route again.

Those cheap lead acids are not going to be decent deep cycle and will be wet cells, so will have off gassing and cause corrosion. AGM solve that and good deep cycle AGM's are not cheap, see Lifeline, Trojan etc. You can get relatively cheep "golf cart" batteries but again wet cells that need water checked and have to vented properly.

There are downsides to LFP:

More complicated, they need a BMS to protect from over and under charge, the BMS has current limits due to using FETs to switch on/off, so most of the drop in replacements can only do 100 amp continuous with short burst of say 300 amps. So they are not great engine starting batteries. You can run in parallel to get more current capacity obviously. BMS is a full microcontroller with high current disconnect so much more to go wrong, although some have bluetooth with an app to monitor individual cells etc.

They can't be charged below freezing without damage, so most BMS have low temp disconnect to protect against that. Also there overall temp range is narrower than good lead acid, my lifeline are rated -40f to 160f I believe. Lead acid are simple tough and reliable.

I'll truthfully answer anyone that asks but I don't volunteer it to non-tech friends, I don't want to come across as bragging or boastful.

This is exactly what I do: only if they ask. Even among tech friends. Tech friends I’ll say “Go check out https://www.levels.fyi ”. They can learn on their own without having me in the equation at all.

I especially don’t share unless asked because I remember how much of a “glass shattering” moment it was when I realized how much “top tier” companies (FAANG et al) pay. It was like double what I was being paid before. I went from being happy with my salary to miserable. In the end it was good because I studied and got into one of those companies but it effectively tanked my engagement in one fell swoop.

>in which this was the only option aside from getting fired

I don’t believe an ill conceived script was his only option. And the rub for most people in these comments is that the code he wrote should have never made it to his fingers—he *knew* it was going to be rushed into prod, but he didn’t stop and consider that randomly generating numbers in a phone number-like schema to the scale of tens of thousands would actually semi-regularly produce a real phone number?! Seriously?
Something like this happened on Reddit, with the /r/the_donald subreddit. At first it was jokes at expense of the man, then it transformed into jokingly supporting his presidency. Then it became some quasi-intellectual support of his presidency. Then it became actual non-ironic serious support of his presidency through memes. And then when it actually happened, it became a sort of cult worship site that was eventually banned for supporting the more extreme viewpoints that have been attributed to his supporters.

I like the idea of intellectual exercise, and I enjoyed reading the sub when it was just fun and games. I stopped reading it when they started to seriously support his election. But people for sure lose themselves in the delusions, especially if some part of it connects to them. It's like some sort of cheat code into their minds. I have friends who fell to the QAnon situation. If you told them 5 years ago that our government officials were satanic ritualistic baby eaters, they'd laugh you out of the room and tell you to have another beer. It doesn't really work that way. No way in any serious debate could you ever convince them of this. But now, after they've fell down the rabbit hole some of them seriously unironically believe these things could actually be true.

It's like they saying goes: If you open up your mind too much, your brains will fall out.
It is so dumb and twisted that there even needs to be a deal. Any web browser can hit youtube, you can probably get to youtube via a web browser anyway on a roku, if not they could in principle do that.

Also dumb and twisted that as a paying youtube subscriber, I could buy a computer (a roku) and not be allowed to access youtube on it.

Do better, tech.
Yes, the level of evidence kind of depends on your world-view. I would have said that the fact that both the US and the USSR both claimed it happened, with the USSR seemingly only losing from that, is already strongly in support of the moon landing being real. But some people divide the world differently, to them it's politicians and mainstream media, and scientists employed by them, who are making that claim, which makes that group look much less diverse.

I imagine you could just as easily make a study "people who look at fewer partitions of datasets reach wrong conclusions more often". Just as you can sample more fish from a lake and see if there's a pattern in their color, you can try to look at more perspectives and see if there's a pattern one way or the other.
Germany has a lot of high end car manufacturers and other industry, which means that there are a lot of experienced engineers in the country that they can hire. Most people also speak English well enough, which makes it easier to collaborate with US engineers (compared to eg. Spain, where many people really struggle with English).

There's so much wrong with this comment.

> you are telling me there is something that makes up the majority of matter in the universe (27% dark matter vs 5% matter) and we still haven't observed a single iota of it, even after spending more than 3 decades and billions of dollars?

Of course we observed it. In how galaxies spin. We did not observe dark matter directly. So far existence of dark matter is not questioned because it is backed by multiple predictions and observations. Question is about its composition.

> well it fits all of our understanding of the universe and what we observe in a few things

Not sure what it means.

> It comes on top of things that cosmologists have been wrong for very very very long times on. Look how long they thought it was silly to consider the big bang. maybe it would be easier to accept if they were like 'well the big bang is a very interesting idea but it just doesn't fit evidence' instead of 'that's a stupid idea, my idea (static universe) is simpler so its right'.

This is gross oversimplification to the point where it loses all meaning. I can't even begin to answer because it.

> speaking of which, we really need to get off this 'simple idea is the right idea' dogma. The universe owes us no such obligation to be simple.

I guess General Relativity is complex enough that most still try to drag what they learned in high school to fit reality

> look how much relies off the idea that the universe is the same everywhere, which we now know as wrong, but cosmologists are only slightly admitting to that fact.

Did I missed a Nobel Prize for proving cosmological principle wrong? Because so far all I seen was an overwhelming evidence for its correctness.
And yet the taxes need to get done. So many times they do despite not being able to afford it.
I disagree that having localization for number formatting based on a system setting by default makes sense. Formatted numbers are needed for both human and machine consumption and only one of those can deal with unexpected formatting.
> The role has grown to encompass too many specialties

The good news is that none of the successful lead web developers I have worked with meet these requirements. I feel like you're talking about a large team more than a single developer, and in many places where you say "expert," I would say "willing and able to tackle the subject to the extent required."

I think a better way to sum up web development, instead of making it sound like an impossible job, is to say there is virtually unlimited scope to make yourself better and more valuable at the job by expanding your technical skills.
That is the worst idea I've ever heard.

I have a life long friend I regularly talk about career advancement with, we have for almost twenty years. We know what each other make. He’s honestly like a brother to me.

Other than that, it’s only served in my experience to get people asking me for money.

In my early 20s, I used to have my parents help me with my taxes. That lead to them regularly pressuring me for money, and being very new to the industry I made a fraction of what I make now. They have no idea what I make now, and I have in recent years put on a bit of a song and dance about how I’m always broke to get them to ask less.

A while ago I dated another engineer at my company and at one point I shared what I was making with her. She got very upset. It was a decent chunk more than her, but I had ten years more experience than her. I made a fraction what she was making at her experience level, it seemed more than reasonable to me. She made a fuss about it to HR, it was a mess.

Generally I think nothing good comes from sharing your pay. I would avoid it.
Do private tax prep companies have an argument they advance about why automatic filing is a bad idea? Or is it just pure behind scenes lobbying?

I wish people would go back to cutting out letters in a newspaper and gluing them to a bit of paper and sending that. It took thought, effort, and wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thing.

But in all seriousness, there are a lot of women (and men) who have suffered abuse by a partner. Not having anonymous social media accounts ends up being at the very least exclusionary, and at the very worst can lead to physical harm (even murder) by an abusive partner easily tracking someone down.

The other elephant in the room here, is that abusive social media messages have nothing to do with the death of David Amess.
You file a form or enter data into some fields in a web interface that updates their records?
These percentages are all subjective, I'm just trying to illustrate a point.

I don't think it does mean a complete takeover. There are plenty of industries where being 10% cheaper doesn't mean you "win", and there are plenty where being 10% better doesn't either. In a world of perfect competition and perfect information it might, but it's well accepted that we do not live in that world.
I was simply trying to illustrate -- assume we didn't know about earths tilt; one would suspect something like the moon or stars causes the seasons (as they did historically).

IMO as we don't have accurate data measuring far enough back we're effectively shooting in the dark.

It's fine to say, these two things could be correlated, it's another to say these things are correlated AND to fix it we have to force everyone to stop traveling, be less healthy (eating a worse diet), etc.
The system is very complex and it's very easy to make a mistake once you start having more complications like selling property, dealing with stocks, handling additional income, etc.

Correcting mistakes is expensive, you'd likely need tax attorneys to figure this all out and you will also pay penalty.
Yes, when asked I tell them and I dont lie.

There are typically 4 reasons someone asks;

a) they make a lot and want to have a dick measuring contest, usually in public. The social score I keep for these people drops markedly when this happens. They dont take it very well if they find out they are packing a small one, the ones who take it really badly - the ones you are on the same level as. Often they will masquerade as being in the d) category.

b) they make nothing and want to shame you. As bad as a)

c) judgement; 'why do you spend so much on X', 'why is your car so shitty', etc. I have might have more contempt for these people than a) or b). They are like financial planners, but unsolicited and shitter.

d) they are really wanting advice, or to give advice. Benchmarking salaries, suggesting you are underpaid, asking paths for their children etc. (If your kid wants to know, make the intro and let them have the conversation). These are the good guys, but sadly a very low % of requests. If you close yourself to the first 3 cases (95%) then this very small category, where you can actually make a difference for people goes away too.
> The esteemed philosopher was sentenced to death because he was deliberately annoying people

No. Socrates was executed because he was associated with the worst rulers that the city of Athens had ever known, all former students of his, who notably went on to kill thousands of Athenian citizens (not enemies, strangers, or slaves), following the defeat in the Peloponnesian War.

After the tyrants were killed and democracy was restored, general amnesty law was granted to anyone involved except the Thirty Tyrants themselves and their direct aides. However resentment, understandably, remained.

> There was a lot of bad blood between the people of Athens and Socrates’ followers. That wouldn’t have been enough by itself. But the murder of between 5% and 15% of the citizen population in 404 must have pushed things over the edge. Imagine if Osama bin Laden, Timothy McVeigh, and Saddam Hussein had all had the same person as their ethics teacher: would you be very surprised if that person got harsh treatment from a jury? And would you then call that person a martyr?

So we should continue to vote for the politicians who do the public such a service. I fail to see Intuit as the evil company. The politicians that the public votes for are not even responsible. It is the public that votes for them that is at fault. That is the real harsh truth. No one to blame but “ourselves”. I would always be baffled by friends who would decry outcomes but continue to vote for those who created the outcomes. So the politicians are rational as there is no cost to it at least in California and the Bay area.
I agree. If people lack the emotional intelligence to realise when it is time to stop a conversation ( in real life and on social media), then they are simply being infantile by asking government or tech companies to do it for you. The block/ignore buttons are there for a reason.
I won't argue that the whole system is stuck in the 20th century, but there is a little bit of "big companies and taxes are evil and I'm oppressed!" going on here.

I understand not everyone has an easy time with it. But today, 70% of Americans can file for free. Some version of optional auto-filing I have no problem with.

As far as a private company trying to protect it's revenue, there are far more egregious examples of that, out there right now.
"Monads are, quite simply, a way of abstracting this repeated structure."

More precisely, the monad interface allows abstracting this particular repeated structure in much the same way an iterator allows abstracting the repeated process of "get the next thing", but monad does not exist for Maybe just as iterators do not exist for arrays.

It's easy to make the mistake of focusing on the Maybe portion of that repeated code snippet, but the value of the monad interface in that code snippet is everything other than the Maybe portion, that pattern of descending into a computation over and over again with a closure, that fits into a number of data structures and an even larger number of data structures that can be coerced into fitting into that pattern without much effort.

Moreover, Maybe is a bad way of understanding the monad interface and pattern because it does not fully use the monad interface. It doesn't take advantage of the way the Maybe value is passed through to thread any additional values through. While a valid example of a monad interface usage, it is also a degenerate one that makes for a difficult lens to understand the interface.
`flatMap` is actually called `concatMap` in Haskell, or more generically the monadic bind operator `>>=`.

> He said he started wearing N95s several days before the initial r0 estimate was even published, and that he based his opinion on SARS-CoV-1 data which many relevant experts didn't think was applicable. There's a reason they didn't jump to the same conclusions he did, and that reason is why they're experts.

The same experts that were telling the public that masks were useless in March 2020. Experts are not always giving the best recommendations for your specific case.

> Like I said, he's obviously a smart guy, but this whole 'they all laughed at me and look at me now!' narrative is just not that impressive.

That's a very uncharitable way of interpreting that blog post. I personally see it as "next time you feel too stupid to do something, think about that blog post and maybe I'll give you the strength needed to do something that will have a good outcome".
> Tesla could have gone bankrupt at several points. Would that have made some of Musk's unfulfilled claims (and actual unfulfilled orders) a form of fraud?

I think there is a pretty clear difference between non-performance due to bankruptcy (which is essentially "we haven't been able to make the tech work profitably and have run out of money") and bankruptcy due to non-performance ("we've run out of money because we haven't been able to make the tech work").

Should that not read "Google still allows ..."? Roku would have no interest in blocking their users from using an old version of YouTube TV that predates Google's (allegedly) anti-competitive demands. Google, on the other hand, might see those old non-compliance YouTube TV apps as problematic.

I don't think that's true; Uber has a queue system for airports also where drivers are assigned a rider in the order they arrived at the airport. The issue is that the drivers in the queue are forced to wait somewhere far away, and can only drive to the pickup spot after they are assigned a ride.
