I was thinking of that, so I just signed into my ComEd account and brought up the last several days readings from the smart meter. This reports usage hourly, and most of the days didn't have any hour exceeding 1.5 - 1.6 kWh. I did see 2 separate hourly samples over the past 2 weeks that got to 1.9 kWh and another that hit 2.3 kWh for those two samples, but the rest of the days had a peak hour of less than 1.6.

But I just realized, that since I have gas heat (but an electric stove), the heating isn't included in this report. Not sure what the averages would look like if I had a heat pump, but I'm assuming it would be similar to the A/C peak in the summer which adds about .5 to 1 kWh.

Exactly. CSS is doing too much. All the decisions seemed to make sense at the time but it all ends up being a clusterfuck. Part of it has to do with everyone having to rebuild HTML/CSS parsers from scratch and the ever changing and evolving nature of the markup.

Just when you think everything is going to be OK you are faced with feeding your document into another parser that isn't at parity with the browsers. A lot of people struggle to build PDFs from HTML where the parser (itext) only understands a certain subset. That nice grid layout you designed? ...throw that out. You need page breaks with common headers and footers? Get ready to commit some really dirty hacks. Should this data be in a div table or a semantic table? Better predict the future.
Back when electric vehicles were the most popular automobile, battery changes were used to keep electric trucks and taxis on the road longer. Some companies were around 20 years just doing electric vehicle battery changes and service. This was called Power-as-a-Service, or PaaS.

I've become more aware over the years that some developers, especially very senior ones, are under the fatally mistaken assumption that the problems start when the complaining starts, when it's closer to the truth to say that the real problems start when the complaining ends.

There can be bad developers on any team of course, but there are many developers who know or suspect what they are considering doing is wrong, and discover that asking someone about it is far more trouble than its worth. They either get yelled at or saddled with a bunch of homework because they've drawn attention to a can of worms and are being deputized to fix four things instead of the one they knew about.

Every project has problems. Even the ones that are making millionaires out of relatively new team members. If you aren't hearing about those problems, that's entirely, 100% your fault.
I strongly believe the addition of the handlebars makes a scooter much safer to use for an average person compared to an electric skate or longboard. I say this as someone who has owned all three.

Best example of this is braking. Most electric longboards accelerate and decelerate as fast or faster than a scooter. However the laws of motion still apply. Without something to hold onto you have to actually anticipate your deceleration and lean back when decelerating - very unintuitive.

When I had an electric longboard I let several people use it and saw several people fall over (fortunately they fell on their feet)
It does work: NIO does it (they have 700 battery swap stations already).

Getting people to pay for support they won't use sounds to me closer to a voluntary regular donation than it does the "long tradition of setting up a business, having invoices, and providing services for the pay."

I guess it's a way of making a voluntary regular donation seem like a traditional invoice to satisfy the bookkeepers, but that's not what I thought @mfer was getting at. And if it magically worked to produce what are effectively donations, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation.

But yes, you are talking about something other than open source as the more likely future route, which is why i asked @mfer if they were! That's the straightforward way to get people to pay for software -- make it not open source, so they have to pay to use it.

You are not entitled to any movies or television shows at any quality at all because it's not your IP. If someone wants to shoot a movie and then lock it in a vault, never to be seen by anyone, Prince-style, that is their right. If they want to change it to remove and permanently memory-hole offensive elements, that is their right. If they want to release it only in certain formats, up to and including theatrical-only releases, that is their right. Because they own the copyright and hence, control over how the work is distributed and exhibited.

So take what they offer you or leave it. Anything else is a violation of the law.

The USA already has a NEV standard (25mph top speed, some look like small cars, others more like golf carts). All it would take to make them viable is more streets with 25mph speed limits.

This makes roads safer for bikes and scooters, but the NEV gives a car-like option for someone who can't (or won't) ride a bike.

Even a NEV-plus standard that allows up to 35mph would be an improvement, that would already cover almost all of my commute.
>This is Apple protecting their brand.

I mean, it's certainly plausible that's part of it, and that's certainly giving them the benefit of the doubt. I suspect they are considering the financial incentives as well though. Also, I'm not sure making computers non-upgradable through software/firmware when there is a physical socket is good for their brand either. Their markup on SSD's is pretty high.

Apple could make the camera flush by bulking out the back of the phone with more battery (though these days battery life is adequate for me so this wouldn't be as much of a win as it might have been a few years ago).

> I also see sooo many issues when reviewing code like leaked event listeners, unstable props causing re-renders, etc. And these issues show up from teammates who otherwise write impeccable and trustworthy PRs in other regards.

I think this is true. However, I don't think I saw less bugs with `component(Did|Will)(Mount|Update|ReceiveProps)`. Lifecycle events are intrinsically about state management, and that has always been the root cause of many bugs. This isn't a React specific problem either. Back in AngularJS 1.2.x days, the $scope and digest cycle was the source of many bugs. In Backbone, people's two-way binding between views and models were the source of many bugs.

Are React hooks complex? Yes. I don't think they're worse than what existed before though.
Oh but it does.

Impressive study, kudos to the bioinformaticians who did this!

This could be an option for parents with a genetic condition who don’t want to pass it on. In terms of gattaca style super people (which I find quite repugnant) the recombination events are still random at the end of the day, so you’d have to screen quite a few embryos and there would be trade-offs. If you were really serious about it, the process would start with selecting partners based on their genetic fitness, and also using young fathers.

...at least, for the one Bose device I own. Other Bose Bluetooth devices use the same image format and can be updated by the same official update tool (which doesn't run on Linux or support downgrades, hence this one), so I'm hopeful they use the same protocol as well.

This was a fun reverse engineering project, and I also used it as an opportunity to learn Rust better. The protocol is quite close to USB DFU[1], but it's been altered to run on top of HID reports instead of raw USB transactions, presumably because every major OS lets you talk to HID devices without having to publish and sign your own driver.

Interestingly, Bose seems to have also forked dfu-util[2], which is GPL-licensed, altered it to speak this protocol, and shipped the binary with an official update tool for a different product with no accompanying source to be found. More details on that at the end of the README.

I found microservices had the benefit of increasing release cadence and decreasing merge conflicts.

Are there complications? Sure. Are they manageable? Relatively easily with correct tooling. Do microservices (with container management) allow you better use of your expensive cloud resources? That was our experience, and a primary motivator.

I also feel they increase developer autonomy, which is very valuable IMO.
This is the problem, it may very well describe Putin.
> I've never really heard of undergraduates "forging relationships" with faculty, at least not beyond a particular semester course.

Which means you never did any research for a professor, or know anyone who did. At MIT there's no less than official two programs for that, the main one with very substantial financial incentives.

There's an old saying about MIT that's relevant, "Undergraduates are treated like graduate students, graduate students like junior faculty, and tenured professors like gods." It exaggerates some but it most certainly gets the first bit right, undergraduates are assumed to be capable of graduate level research. "seniors planning on graduate education becoming more active in a department, maybe getting an internship to make photo copies and coffee" is just not how it works at MIT, that's work for MIT's generally very capable office staff.

And thus if you use the research method in "'forging relationships' with faculty" perhaps after acing a course they taught, and you do well, you'll get the inherently political but not in a really bad way "in" to graduate programs when your professor tells a professor who knows your professor that you can do research, as discussed elsewhere.

I'm a bit confused as to how this even solves anything to do with piracy even if you take the RIAA's side. Youtube et al already have incredibly aggressive copyright filters. I can't actually think of a major media platform that is based in the US sphere of influence that lacks those filters. At best this sounds like reinventing what already exists, but with more bureaucracy.

I'm also confused as to how anybody expects to create an upload filter system that respects fair use, given how subjective the fair use criteria are. We have already have seen how this works out with sites like YouTube - it simply does not work.

I'm triply confused as to how this interacts with the DMCA safe harbor provisions. If this doesn't override them, as the bill authors say, how does it accomplish anything? Even The Pirate Bay nominally accepts DMCA takedown requests - so if sites can continue with their existing DMCA processes and be safe from being sued, why would anybody bother with implementing the technical measures?
I want to have fitted sheets that are easy to put on a mattress and will not snap back when I'm trying to put them on.

That sounds like a huge amount of infrastructure work on something that even in the best case will be relatively prone to failure. Meanwhile, we already have grid connections all over the place and DC fast charging is quickly approaching fast enough. For those who even have to use it, the rest just charge at home and none of these contraptions would improve their experience.

I know part of the ultimate goal is to not have to circumvent the problem because it's no longer a problem, but I can certainly appreciate needing time to consider questions. I have two ideas for you.

First, you could set expectations that all questions are invited but you will record the conversation (or video call) and reply with an organized response to code questions. You are free to ask whatever questions you want to. This limits questions you must answer on the spot to things like availability, etc. You probably know those answers comfortably. If they balk, just ask them to trust you. Then make sure to deliver. A helpful skill is to always be comfortable to say "I will get back to you about that." If you don't feel free to say that, the anxiety might be from not knowing what it is like when that is said. In that case, try it. It's a normal thing in my opinion.

And from what you are saying, they will notice the difference if they don't take you up on your request. Be proactive so it's their choice if they decline your request.

Second idea, for remote work, is to respond via recorded video. I have clients send me recorded video of their questions and activity on the screen. It works well because it's personal and it's async. When first starting out, people hiring do need to see a face and hear a voice. This is a useful next-best option.

Your situation sounds challenging. Your desire to discuss it is commendable.
I know USB booting on pi is still not perfect, but it almost seems to make more sense at this point to boot off of a decent USB flash drive, I would think? If you get a decent brand with good benchmarks, I would think that reads/writes would blow all SD cards away. What I'm not sure about is latency or lifespan, though I would think _good_ USB flash drives are likely to be better quality flash than SD, without really being significantly costly in comparison?

I say this as someone that uses SD cards currently, and I understand if others do also- it's the easiest/default option, but I've definitely given thought to switching
Unfortunately, my colorblind friends also share this sentiment. They had to leave GNOME after they pulled support for custom stylesheets, which is a really short-sighted move for a DE that's trying to be more accessible.

Being forced to read the documentation carefully every time you call the method is really bad UX though. And the approach in the article (let ms = 5; sleep(ms);) can be wrong. Maybe the method is actually taking microseconds not milliseconds and this causes a bug. I can also imagine linters (or other humans) fighting this style, since it’s longer, and something you have to actively do every time you call the method.

Putting the units in the method name (when you can) fixes all of this. Sleep_milliseconds(5) is impossible to misuse or leave undocumented.
It just seems that the narrow 3" wheels commonly seen on scooters are way too sensitive to road imperfections. I've seen some with oversized 6" or so wheels that are wider like a mountain bike tire, those seem safer.
