There is book https://b-ok.asia/book/11849928/95de3e but it is google preview of that book converted to pdf only. :( Please share if you have it guys. Would be really helpful to learn as my semester exams going to happen next week.

My note-:

Any book will suffice for me.

https://b-ok.asia/book/11849928/95de3e

There is 1 book in b-ok.org but some guy has just posted the google books preview pdf of this book.

lol.

If you studied artificial intelligence/soft computing/neural networks in university can you share your book you used to pass university exam questions? I am from Nepal and our syllabus is copied from those Indian university colleges. So having their book would be helpful. But the thing is that Indian author's textbook are not available in Nepal lol.

Cooking food indoors creates many combustible particles. From oil approaching smoke points to the act of browning food - the Maillard reaction is precisely that.

So of course this guy sees more things on the days he cooks and not on the day he gets takeout. On the take out day run a burger and measure. You won’t see much. Not compared to cooking in general. Get some induction plates and cook and note the results.

“Studies” show kids that grow up in cities acquire asthma at higher rates and also that dwellings in cities are more likely to have gas appliances.
A cheap induction hob with 4 "burners" should cost about $250, once they cease being marketed and priced as luxury appliances in the USA:

You’re crazy if you think this fool contraption you’ve been wasting your time on will ever displace the horse, there is no significant adoption.

Electricity is dangerous, there is no significant adoption, gas lamps and candles work fine.

Remove trollys since we can make more money selling tires, oil, and buses.

Internet is a fad, what use case is it solving, it burns a lump of coal every time a book is ordered, there is no significant adoption.

EV1 - we will take your electric cars and crush them, there is no significant adoption.

Proof of work guaranteeing that no one can alter history unless they spend more energy than the entire network has spent already to secure property rights has no use case and no significant adoption.

At this point either you see a pattern from history, or you remain perpetually on the wrong side of a Blub paradox.
Most sibling comments are already pointing out how sad this idea is, but I’ll add this: apparently you to refuse accept that acceptance can “magically” lead to change. On the other hand, I claim that acceptance (of reality) is the Only way to change! For a (deep down) very simple reason: if you want to change reality, you have to start from reality. This means accepting it. Living in an imagined world leads to no change.

This is (one of) the core ideas of buddhism-related philosophies. I suggest you give those a chance!

>Nothing in life happens without trauma. That’s Not True. If you accept reality and see that some change is Right, you Do it. No trauma. This is a Fact, and again, dealing with facts and accepting what is true is very liberating.

And look man, I’m in a pretty confused situation myself right now, but we all trying to figure out what’s best!
I thought that when I first switched to induction. Then I realised that induction responds instantly to any changes you set in temperature so you don’t need to move the pan about in 3D space, just leave the pan on the stove and drop the heat right down.

I’m now back on gas after a house move and I miss induction so much.

I'm not sure about all manufacturers but in the case of Vizio, selling user data:

- accounts for 65% of their net profit

- is double the amount of money they make from selling actual TVs

- grew 134% year over year as of Q3 2021

This is the part I find hard to believe without evidence of modern replication using fermented beverages:

“These psychotropic effects are possible because the beta-carbolines typically produced during fermentation can suppress the MAO enzymes.”

I don’t believe the suppression of MAO enzymes is strong enough to allow oral consumption with notable effects. You would assume that if MAO enzymes were being suppressed to any significant levels by alcoholic beverages we would have many more issues with diet and drug interactions with everyday drinking.
I can believe it, maybe I've just only used bad induction.
I don't think there is a need to change the usual interpretation established through the genre's past. There is a bigger audience inspired by the genre and some of them seek to appropriate the roguelike word for another role which better suits their views, but should they be allowed that?
Deviating the meaning of words is not a good habit of our society, especially when not even done for a noble cause. If the intent behind is better conformity to a wider audience, then it is a tyranny of the majority.
Inevitably, it leads to a simple question: what is wrong with just accepting the "Roguelite" word and living on with it?
Also, for those that have some high areas, chances are the high areas are a volcano. If it is, it likely is an active volcano, as this region is on the ring of fire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Fire)
I believe it's getting more and more common, but it's far from a regular thing, at least in the UK. I see it in Linkedin job postings, some people at may company have adopted it (including myself), I read about the cultural shift in the national news etc. It's definitely happening more than before.
It is really disappointing to me to see a comments section most glorifying induction stovetops because of how much “healthier” they are. They win on energy efficiency, but I think the argument over health is less clear cut.

Consider that induction stoves emit EMFs roughly 16 times the “safe” limit for non-ionizing radiation [1]. And when you’re cooking, the parts of the body that are most likely to be exposed to the highest EMFs are your reproductive systems and the heads of children, which the study cited above notes can be damaged by EMFs 8x weaker than those from an induction stove.

Investigate and consider all the health risks of your decisions. It may be very well possible that one form of pollution (air) is no worse than another type (electromagnetic).

Can someone point me to a resource about using heat pumps for central heating a home? Can we use a heat pump as a replacement to a boiler of old style central heating system that uses heated water?
The ones I could find can only take the water to 50c. I could augment the same with a solar water heater but not sure if it can work.

Either that or using heat pump air conditioner per room setup to heat only required rooms.
this is a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of non-custodial private key management. what you are describing is a custodial wallet.

Gas in general may cause incidental gas pollution —but I see a problem by the author. The author mentions high pollution results when cooking —which for the author does using a gas range. However the author doesn’t discuss results from alternate ranges. I have an induction stove and every time I cook the indoor air pollution also spikes (lots of frying). It’s likely less than that caused by gas stoves but never the less creates pollutants in the air.

I have no doubt that gas causes more pollution but they are remiss for not mentioning the cooking process itself causes pollution.
We bought a single profesional induction stove, 4.5 kW for a single plate, on ebay, barely used, for 100$. The thing is a beast. You can heat a pot with 50L of water in ~10-15min with it to like 60 + degrees celsius.

With gas it takes an hour.

> Nazi purges kill all minorities.

That’s not actually true. Traditional ethnic minorities in Northern Germany include the Danes and the Frisians. How did the Nazis treat them? Well, the Nazis viewed them as fellow “Aryans”. If the Nazis persecuted them at all, I can’t find any information on it.

The Nazis were not equally anti all minorities. In their minds, there was a ranking of the minorities, those at the top were to be treated with mildness, those at the bottom were to be completely extinguished by mass murder.

The idea that Nazis treated all minorities equally is arguably disrespectful (even if only unintentionally) of those whom the Nazis treated the worst.
ADOM is an advanced classical roguelike, very playable for beginners and available on Steam now with decent GUI. Can't recommend it more.
I might have only experienced olderand cheaper electric hobs, but the thermal inertia is more than a bit. Off to low or low to high can take minutes, and the same for cooling down. With gas o have instant increases and decreases in energy.

Induction hobs are much better in thst regard, but they fail in other ways - eg with gas i can lift the pan slightly above to shake it ans mix the food, with induction the second i get a few mm above the surface, the pan stops being heated.

Its a massive change in process and feel... Its a bit like going fron riding a motorbike (extremely responsive) to piloting a canal boat where action and effect can be minutes apart.
Not sure what a hot take is. It was a a genuine question - volcanic eruptions have well documented climatic effects.
First of all, plenty of drug research and patents are actually done in order to develop variants that avoid other patents. Patents in the drug industry are mostly a parasite producing more patents.

Secondly, plenty of research is publicly funded.

The major philosophical error people make when asking why would people create anything in the absence of IP laws is believing that just because they created/invented something, they are owed something in return. Plenty of times, IP gets created, but there is no one to sell licensees to because no one wants it.

The major historical error is believing forgetting that people created and invented stuff just fine before IP laws existed.
Yes, I agree, and this is all very cool, however regarding this point:

> There is now a sovereign nation state that accepted Bitcoin as a currency, and, mark my words, no doubt more will follow this 2022.

Sure. That's true, but doesn't actually matter, imo., because the point of crypto is to:

> Replac[e] central banks, and by extension, their grasp on the limitless money printing

So approval from the government in the case of crypto is worth about as much as it is for making love. It's the losing side of a game saying "You know what, we'll be so gracious as to allow you to win". Never needed your permission to begin with.
Nice way to start your HN career there.

Even so, natural gas in the US is so cheap that the CO2 charge that would be needed for new nuclear to compete would be very high, so high that very large CO2 emission reduction would occur elsewhere first.

https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/PT.3.4088

Quote:

“The cost of new nuclear is prohibitive for us to be investing in,” says Crane. Exelon considered building two new reactors in Texas in 2005, he says, when gas prices were $8/MMBtu and were projected to rise to $13/MMBtu. At that price, the project would have been viable with a CO2 tax of $25 per ton. “We’re sitting here trading 2019 gas at $2.90 per MMBtu,” he says; for new nuclear power to be competitive at that price, a CO2 tax “would be $300–$400.” Exelon currently is placing its bets instead on advances in energy storage and carbon sequestration technologies.
> I totally get the desire to switch to electric appliances for many reasons, but I am yet to meet an electric stove of any kind that I remotely enjoyed cooking on. Is this everyone's experience?

We bought a profesional induction plate, 4.5kW, 100$ on ebay. Performance wise, its ~4x better than the 4kW gas stove it replaced. The time required to heat 50L of water to 60C went down from 60min with gas to about 10-15 min with induction.

Instantaneously hot, and instantaneously cold. For us it opened a lot of new ways of cooking.

What kind of cooking do you prefer doing on a gas stove over an induction stove?

Obviously the same pots and pans don't work on both, but if you have a top of the line induction stove you know this already.
There's a similar SDR toolkit out there called RedHawk. Its open source but heavily funded by the NSA so you can imagine that it has specific SIGINT applications in mind. However, you can still connect it to an RTL-SDR and play around with the components in a similar manner.

Himawari-8 footage is excellent. That shockwave is gigantic. Thanks for the link.
It is different. You tell the mock to give you an specific error with specific information, while you tell the fake to give you the error for an specific condition.

It is subtle and may not be worth the time, but again, it may be.
Great article, not the first time I read this argument against the usage of mocks; I never understood though how to solve the problem of the explosion of the path that must be tested (usually exponential).

As an example, consider a single API that uses ~3 services, and these 3 services have underneath from 1 to 5 other internal or external dependencies (such as time, an external API service, a DB repository, and so on).
How can I test this API, the 3 services, and their underneath dependencies without exponential paths to test - I want to be able to cover all the paths of my code, and ensure that my test only tests a single thing (either the API, the service, or the dependency interface); otherwise, it is not an unit test.

I always felt like that these type of tests without mocks works super-nice in nice situations without any external, or even complex but internal, dependency; otherwise, it becomes very very hard to test ONLY what I want, and not all the dependencies underneath.

Mocks allow me to stub the behaviour of a service/dependency that I can test in a separate fashion, covering all the paths, and ensuring that each unit test covers a single unit of my code, and not the integration of all my components.
> You're missing the forest for the trees. Bitcoin is broken and will never be more than a speculative asset with no intrinsic value.

I disagree. It's off-topic so I'm not going start an endless discussion about intrinsic value.

> Decentralisation can quickly become federation. Example: a global id system where the "miners" are countries. It removes the need of physical passports and their associated costs and delays.

As long as humans submit the external data to the blockchain someone can cheat with the data. Actually, cheating is a nice feature if you need double passports for diplomats, spies or informants. The result is a blockchain with permanent records with data you can not fully trust because the data did not exist on the blockchain in the first place.

I'm all for a digital solution instead of physical passports but I do believe this can be solved with distributed systems and international standards, instead of permanent records on a decentralized blockchain.

This is not a problem that can be fixed by error handling. It's just best avoided if an application developer is altering the DOM at will. The DOM is not a good, stable API.
Ah I didn’t realise that. Thanks for clarifying.
That was not prescriptive but descriptive. I don't program every day after work either, but I do sometimes get terribly addicted to a problem and work on it a great deal. I haven't met a good programmer that didn't have it, much like you don't mean someone who's properly good at anything they don't practice a great deal.

> No dentist gets told he gotta setup a practice in his garden shed to practice pulling teeth

This is a weird argument to me, the medical field has an even more unhealthy work/life balance than our field. They absolutely "practice at home" (obviously not through home surgery, but reading and so). Dentists have an easier time than most other medical professions, but every dentist I've met regardless had extremely good work ethic and frequently obsessed over his work.

You can absolutely work 40hrs a week and be a good engineer business-wise. However, most people who are remembered for their contributions to a field (and weren't just in the right place at the right time) dedicated a large part of their life to it. That includes writers, poets, musicians, doctors, anything.. to quote old Onion videos: are tests biased against students who just don't give a shit?
> I think the causality may go the other way

The whole point of the article is that this isn't the case.
Diet is not a cure for MS. Period.

A single diet might not be a cure for IBS, but IBS affects a digestive organ. Obviously, what you eat is going to affect a digestive organ, regardless of disease, and it seems obvious that a few folks have trigger foods.

And honestly, if diet were an easy way to cure acne, it'd be prescribed more. Just because you got one thing as a youth doesn't make the opposite true.
> I love induction. The main annoyance, for me, are the touch controls.

We bought a professional induction stove from a restaurant online on ebay for very cheap. One of the reasons is that all controls were "manual" and with "knobs". The amount of electronics on these is minimal.
So theoretically a dating app could today add a PayPal button or stripe pay box.

They don't even need to go through appstore review if they add it to a webview server side.

So... Have any apps done this yet? Seems like the kind of thing that could be pushed out in a few hours by some teams.
I’m not quite sure what you are trying to say here.

In both of the examples you give you seem to be assuming that ‘not caring about the functionality of function X in function Y’ means ‘not caring about function X at all’.

This is untrue. You should test both.

If you want shouldExecute to have an env variable, you have a separate test for that, one for both the positive and negative scenario.

In the same sense you have a separate test for Compile and Validate, but in the Compile test you may not care to do the validation. At the very least you should have a test for Validate separate from Compile.

Ah well.
I moved job recently. I was simply bored and felt like i was at nothing and not improving and at the same time wasnt being pushed at all. There was a big engineering culture which I liked but all the tooling, code style and even the languages i was working with were either in house or a horrible twisting of a standard language.

I moved to a much smaller company and so far the code and people are much more approachable and i also got a 25% salary boost which brought me well over the baseline for where I live.

It's illustrative of the scale of U extraction that would be needed. A single 1 GW(e) burner reactor would require a field of U absorbers covering 170 km^2 of continental shelf (and to supply 18 TW of primary thermal energy would need about 6000 such reactors). The power/area would be considerably worse than solar (with solar capacity factor taken into account).

Anyway, I don't believe France (or anyone else) has any major program to bring seawater uranium extraction to market either.
This is what Elon said about PayPal growth strategy:

ELON MUSK: Yeah. Well, we started off first by offering people $20 if they opened an account. And $20 if they referred anyone. And then we dropped it to $10. And we dropped it to $5. As the network got bigger and bigger, the value of the network itself exceeded any sort of carrot that we could offer.

Helium is trying the same thing (only decentralized) with the proof of coverage algorithm and rewards (which are diminishing by a halving process every two and a half years I think) so that the network can sustain itself. Please let me know why the cognitive dissonance is astounding because their proof of coverage hotspot rewards look a bit more advanced to the growth strategy PayPal used and they hope the network will be sustained by data transfer only when the rewards are not given anymore.

This assumes you are in a location where said recycling infrastructure is present (or close enough that the cost of shipping them there is less than what you get back). This may not be the case in areas where access to electrical power is a major issue, and thus end-of-life batteries are essentially worthless and can be obtained for free.
We bought one from a restaurant on ebay. The "professional" models for restaurants don't have touch controls or fancy electronics. Just knobs. 100% recommend.
