It isn't really the fact that it is all in one file that is the problem for maintainability, imo, it is that all (html, js. css) are incorporated together into a single unit, with no way of breaking it up.

Vue puts html, js, and css into the same file with their .vue files, and it works great, because they keep those things separate _within_ the file. Also, there is the ability to load each section from a separate file, as well, which works flawlessly.
I'm defining intelligence as "the thing we think people have when they have a high IQ" — similar to how depression is currently medically defined as "that which is measured by a forced swim test."

Obviously, measured intelligence is not "real intelligence" ("g", whatever that is) — but at the same time, people increasingly use the term "intelligent" to refer to someone who has high measured intelligence (IQ), whether or not they have high "real intelligence." So the definitions sort of collapse into one-another over time. "The measure becomes the target", but for language.

Airship Hindenburg had 200,000 cubic meters of lift gas[1].

Air masses 1.2 Kg per cubic meter, so 240,000Kg of air in that volume normally.

Helium masses 0.18Kg per cubic meter[2], so replacing that volume with Helium gets it down to 36,000Kg.

Hydrogen masses 0.08Kg per cubic meter[2], so replacing that volume with Hydrogen gets it down to 16,000Kg.

Huge balloons containing almost-nothing, as soon as you replace the inside with something it gets heavier. Aerogel is 1Kg per cubic meter without the air in it, says Wikipedia. So adding AeroGel to Hydrogen it would be 216,000Kg in that volume displacing 240,000Kg of air. Hardly buoyant at all.

Wikipedia has something called AeroGraphene mentioned[4] which is down to 160g per cubic meter. If that could be scaled up to the same volume with vacuum in it, it would be 32,000Kg and filled with the mass of Hydrogen, 48,000Kg, but that's still less buyoant overall than using Helium lift gas. Hydrogen isn't really "a feasible approach to lifting any amount of cargo", if it was then airships would be everywhere. The rest of the structure of the ship was heavy in the Zeppelin days, leaving little extra lift for people or things. Out of a Whitehouse sized vehicle it could lift low hundreds of tons. Maybe better today with carbon fibre and lightweight engines and such.

Good team rapport and trust etc are important factors, it's vital no one is "scared" to give honest updates.
Nice concept, going to leave it on the phone with the other weather apps and see if I use it.

I guess you tried having just one clock and showing just the coming 12 hours? I'd think they might be even more intuitive for a first display because for a "glance at the upcoming weather" app I personally don't care much for the past weather :-)

Anyways I love apps which does only one thing well, bonus points for being under 1 MB.
another favourite weather app is Sataa[1] (means rain in Finnish), which just shows the last hour of radar images for Finland.

What leads you to think that anything would "pull oxygen into the fuel"? H2 under pressure moves outward, and in a containment breach tends to, instead, increase the H2 fraction above the 75% that can sustain a flame until most of the gas has escaped and leapt skyward. H2 explosions are a concern in enclosed, unventilated spaces.

Also, its super easy to calc your annual based on hours: just double the hourly rate and thats what you generally gross per year, i.e. $16/hour is ~32,000 per year.

So if you ever wonder, take your $160,000 per year and you are making $80 per hour... so your complaints about salary will diminish.
Pet peeve: historical reasons aside, "inductive programming" (as in mathematical induction) is a more accurate/descriptive name than "dynamic programming".
Our standups are great for us but not for the reasons it should be. My team keeps itself up to date with constant communication. Not bothersome communication, people "go dark" when they need to, but we make sure to communicate. We use the standup to make sure the other teams/management takes us seriously. We use it to set the tone. No one is late to our meetings. We don't wait, and we don't recap what a visitor missed by being tardy. We set a clear expectation that we're busy, and we don't waste time. We also use it call out problems where other teams are involved. Our standup last about 4 minutes, and then we disperse. Admittedly, sometimes we stay around, or we join another channel and b.s., but mainly it's quickly meet and go.
Yes and no. There are legitimate reasons to build microservices with small teams (such as requiring differing runtime environments due to hardware/architectural constraints). They should never be the default at a team below that scale though.
Yep, sorry about that. Too late too edit now apparently.

I really really wanted to buy a 2 wheeler EV 3yrs ago. But the only available option was Okinawa bike that went barely 50km in one charge. I now have a 3yr old petrol 2 wheeler that I need to get rid of until I have some sensible options in EVs. Ola, simple energy won't make a delivery in a fewmonths and they're over booked as hell. And current vehicles have too short range (less than 80km actual)

Currently the only affordable 4wheeler ev in India is Nexon EV at 150k INR. MG has an ev at 250k INR and Hundai too at 250K INR

Prices need to come down. Charging stations need to be set up + batteries should last for a long time

I've touched Zig a few times over the last year or so, and I like it, but I am still itching for something else that is not as complex as Rust, but not too close to C. I am now playing with Scala Native[0] just to see how it works on the low-level stuff. Zig is amazing especially since you can use the compiler as an alternative C compiler too[1].

I like Lisp and APL, so I have been learning April[2], a subset of APL in Lisp. It is very cool, if you like Lisp and APL. The game in Zig in the article reminds me of the Dyalog APL simulation of a boat navigation app developed in Finland using APL[3].

Thank you for your feedback and for your detailed and interesting questions.

How exactly are you handling encryption?
We don't require an account, your encryption keys are derivated from your password and nevers leave your device, also we have zero knowledge about user password. If the user will forget his password, we won't be able to restore/recover his access, this is one of the side effects of our security model. I want to add that we plan to open-source our encryption key management.

What does “end to end encryption” mean in this case?
You absolutely right, in our case e2e means continuous encryption at all times. If you will back up your data on your iCloud your files will always be encrypted, in other words, your photos and videos are always encrypted except when you are using the app. In fact, even when you are using the app, will be decrypted only the requested file, and just some metadata like thumbnails are fully decrypted.

How do you handle metadata?
We only use the minimum necessary metadata, to ensure the best user experience. For example, when users add photos or videos we generate internally a thumbnail that is smaller and faster to decrypt.

There have been a number of startups selling crypto-mining electric heaters, but they've all faced the same problems:

- They're much more expensive than normal heaters, and the returns on mining don't make it cost effective.

- If you've spent that much money on heaters/miners, you're going to want to max them out 24/7 before they become obsolete rather than just switch them on when its cold, which defeats the point.

- They'll also need to be upgraded every 6-12 months to keep up with the mining arms race, and no-one wants to have to replace their super-expensive heating system that often.

I agree with you. It's a waste of energy because that energy is being spent mining BTC, a useless coin that isn't anonymous, private, decentralized, fungible, it isn't even an actual currency. It should be spent mining Monero instead which actually does have all of those properties.
Pretty easy.

Electric heat is 100% efficient. Natural gas is anywhere between 80-97% efficient depending on your model of furnace. Convert therms of gas[0] and kWh[1] to BTUs, and multiply by efficiency and price to determine which is cheapest[2]. Usually natural gas wins.

For emissions it’s more complicated. You need to look up the energy source for your grid[3], it will vary a bit seasonally, and factor in transmission losses for electric heat. You can then calculate the emissions per BTU of natural gas heat vs. the emissions of the grid to give you a BTU of electric heat. For most grids, natural gas still wins.

Where this gets complicated is if you use a heat pump, either a “mini split” (common in Europe and some new apartments) or a ground source (“geothermal”) heat pump. These have a seasonally adjusted efficiency rating[4], usually between 2 and 4. This means per unit of electrical energy the unit is moving 2-4 units of heat (depending on model and exterior conditions). You can take the electric heating number from above and divide by this number to figure out the cost and emissions for a heat pump. Usually a heat pump will win on emissions and lose on price (including installation costs) because natural gas is very very cheap.

0 - A “therm” of gas is the traditional measuring and billing unit of natural gas in the United States, it’s equivalent to roughly 100,000 BTUs. Your bill will probably be in therms, but cubic feet are trivially convertible to BTUs too.

1 - 1 kWh is 3,412 BTUs

2 - You can either compare per BTU costs, or your estimated monthly cost based on your heating need. The latter is important if you have tiered or seasonal electricity pricing. To figure this out take a sample monthly gas bill from winter, subtract your summer gas bill (if you have gas hot water) and use the calculations above to determine your heating needs in BTUs. This lets you calculate your electricity needs in kWh and therefore costs.

3 - It’s important that this is a seasonally correct. Most grids get dirtier as more polluting and less efficient power plants are turned on for summer AC, often coal power plants in most regions. Therefore the emissions per kWh will vary on a month by month basis for a given grid.

4 - If we’re being very precise, a non seasonally adjusted number would be best here. An air sourde Heat pump will struggle to extract heat from very cold exterior air, reducing its efficiency. A ground source one will be more efficient, given that ground water is warmer than the air typically.

What Are Microservices? Architecture, Importance, Advantages, Types
The only value I've ever gotten out of standups is just being able to quickly hang out with coworkers I like. If the standups are online then they're pretty much worthless.

If I were to lead a team and help develop the processes and methodologies we were going to use, I'd still have a form of standup but it wouldn't be the kind of standup typical to SCUM methodology or anything like that.

My idea of a valuable standup would be for the team to get together for a short while in the morning to shoot the shit for 10 minutes at most. Nobody has to talk about their work, although it would be a good time for team leads to introduce intel about new or changing priorities. If team members want to talk about their work or challenges they are facing, then all the better. There would be no pressure to attend them all the time, or to be there on time. If people aren't showing up to them enough then that's a sign that they aren't valuable in the first place.

Why treat standups like something out of public school? It just ends up turning standups into an exercise where students are coerced to attend even if no value is being provided. Such standups quickly turn into status updates and an exercise in subordination for many of the team members.
Great article. I had a similar kind of revelation when I learned about generalized linear models after failing to understand all the various statistical tests.
Even if it did use mostly renewable energy, which I doubt (I've heard some buy old coal fired plants to run their mining operations), it's still energy that could have been used for something useful. It takes away power for real enterprises and people that use it for their daily living.
But imagine when you want to warm yourself up in a cold time, instead of plunging a simple heater in, you have to deal with a machine which might even need to connect to internet to work (if looking at current IoT devices is any indication). I don't like to deal with such a complexity, unless they make it so simple that I can gift a crypto heater to my suburban grandma and not worry about installing it for her.

A large part of the "foreign ownership" plaguing west-coast cities like Vancouver and Seattle is capital flight from China. In this case, real estate has the valuable property of being harder for a foreign government (who happens to be the government to which the homeowner is subject) to confiscate+liquidate than other assets, so said government will prioritize softer targets. Real estate as an investment class here is acting like a club on a car steering wheel—de-prioritizing theft, rather than inhibiting it.
An important distinction here, this really only applies to PoW (proof of work) tokens. The original philosophy for Bitcoin being proof of work is that you had to give up something (electricity) to produce it.

Your comment is very true for Bitcoin and other PoW tokens but that will soon be in the rearview mirror as more and more coins either come out as PoS (proof of stake) or migrate to it (in the case of Ethereum), even Bitcoin is taking about migrating to a PoS model.

Crypto will evolve past this.

Now that I only have one phone, I've turned off 2FA as much as possible, because only one phone means when it breaks, I can't access my accounts, because I can't get to the 2FA tokens. No thanks.
There's a bit to unpack here.

> "inflation caused by government policies"

Inflation at present is primarily the result of the global pandemic and government's failure to coordinate their response with regards to shipping, hence the crises in global shipping at the moment. Governments spent the better part of 2020 and the first half of 2021 trying to keep their population safe. They took their eye off the eight ball in understanding how these events would impact global shipping. You could argue the policies affecting inflation were therefore the Covid-19 policies, but that really isn't constructive in resolving the situation we now find ourselves in. We can use it to model a better response the next time. Global pandemics have negative impacts to global supply chains.

> "allowing companies to outsource everything"

You mean allowing companies freedom? Funny how "free societies" do that! Meanwhile, economists of all political persuasions have been arguing for decades that this has been the key factor to America's success and her high standard of living. It has also encouraged investment in America's financial markets from all over the world.

We're currently experiencing constrained supply due to the global shipping crises and constant demand. Econ 101 informs us this will result in price increases. I think the central banks have been pretty transparent about it. They still see inflation as a non-issue because they believe once the supply constraints are resolved prices will go back to normal. Meanwhile...what do you propose we do? With a constrained supply we're going to have to make do with less. This isn't propaganda, it's simple, basic economics.
The problem with this viewpoint is it is based on being a zero-sum game. A rising tide will raise all ships, crabs in a bucket hurts all involved.

Also pharmaceutical prices directly contradict this. Americans are essentially subsidizing worldwide pharmaceutical costs.

Your head of sales [name redacted] was the one that reinstated my account and called me "unprofessional" for using a shortened version of my last name.

While not exactly apples-to-apples in all scenarios, I encourage people to use Spot Instances on AWS whenever possible. We run all our web traffic on spot instances, for example.

Spot pricing really closes that gap. A m6g.2xlarge is ~220/month on-demand, $140/month with a yearly RI, and $60/month as a spot instance.

Hetzner is still cheaper for sure if you have a stateful, 24/7 workload. But if I use auto scaling on spot instances (where a good chunk of compute is only running for a part of the day) then the math starts getting much much closer.
