Reminds me of the message the pope of Rome sent to the Mongol khan. It did a bad job of explaining Christianity even in it's original Latin, but since there were no Latin to Mongol speakers it had to be translated through numerous other interpreters. Unsuprisingly the khan didn't understand anything.

Here's the begining translated to English:

> The immense benevolence of God the father, considering with ineffable piety the fall of mankind, which came to ruin by the sin of the first man, and wishing with great love to mercifully revive him whom diabolic envy has made prostrate by deceitful suggestion, has sent his only-begotten son, sharing the same nature with him, from the highest throne of heaven to the lowest dirt of the world, he who, conceived in the womb of the pre-elected virgin by the grace of the Holy Spirit and endowed there with the clothing of human flesh, thenceforth appeared to all, having exited from the enclosed gate of his mother's virginity.

The rest: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Translation:Dei_Patris_Immens...

And here it is passed through this 10 times translator, perhaps approximating what the khan heard:

> Their women's father believes that the kidney is the most quantity of waste in the sky. He came into the world in rape of rape and done with the human body. The sword appears to my mom.

Here’s an example where I think bitfields are totally appropriate:

Say I have a window manager, and I want to attach a bunch of boolean flags to each window object (isVisible, isMaximized, etc). I don’t need to serialize them to disk. It’s highly preferable that they should be efficiently bit-packed, but not strictly essential.

The conservative way to implement that would be bit-shifts and masking (either manually or via a macro). But implementing it with bitfields would be a lot easier and less error-prone, and would work just as well. What problems do you see with the bitfield approach?
SpaceX manufacturing facility in California is also un-unionized. The amount of difference between the two places is very large, to just conclude that it has to do with unions seems like a stretch to me.

That one factory is the home factory close to where the designs are made and the other is so far away seems like a pretty important thing.

This seems like the kind of argument people who really love unions would make.

The story about airlines only accepting 787 aircraft from Washington was from the time when it was still being assembled in two plants (Everett, WA and North Charleston, SC). Since March 2021 (according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_787_Dreamliner), the only plant assembling 787s is the SC plant, which is cheaper and non-unionized. I guess that's more important to Boeing than occasional quality issues...

Yes, this is :(, but you should be serving all your static assets through a CDN, which will have http2. I can't think of a scenario where I would want to serve anything other than the dynamic content off the heroku server. I don't think http2 buys you much there. So you should be able to get away with at most 2 requests - one to the heroku server, and one to the cdn.

I will sometimes accept feature requests and bug reports, although there aren't many, since not many people use my software.

I asked one of my Smarter Dx colleagues who's an expert on this subject to clarify, and he had this to say:

> There are 2 types of billing, even for hospitalized patients. FFS and DRG based payments. Fee For Service does depend on capturing those billing codes correctly. But DRG based payments depend solely on documentation and the billing codes are irrelevant. FFS is 2/3s of US health care spend currently ($2.6T) while DRG is $1.3T.

> It doesn't feel right to talk about the "efficiency" of a heat pump system; talk of "1W in gets you 3W out" isn't right, because you didn't magic those 3W out of thin air. It's more like "4W in gets you 4W out". It seems wrong to say that a heat pump system is "400% efficient".

Those 3W didn't come out of thin air, it came from outside air.

1W of energy going into the heat pump causes 4W of heat energy to get moved from outside your house to the inside of your house.

That's the key thing to take note of. Traditional resistive heating works by turning electrical energy into heat energy directly. Heat pumps move heat energy the same way an A/C unit does, it just moves it the other way.

Essentially, a heat pump is just an A/C unit with the evaporator and the condenser flipped.

My point was, in the past few years I have been buying computers, I have never seen a non-80+ psu. Not that they do not exist, certainly there are unlabeled white boxes for dimes and nickels on the dollar compared to a quality one.

I went out of my way to research my current power supply to make sure that given my usage and components, it would operate in peak efficiency (I believe mine is at nearly 95% efficiency at average load, would need to measure it more thoroughly, it has been a few years).

I feel a power supply is like tires. They are the only thing that actually touches the road(electricity). They are worth paying for something halfway decent, not bottom of the barrel.

I do agree, but I would be shocked to see a non-80+ psu at a reputable store like Micro Center.

I agree with that. They do look watered down.

> They are talking about learning about hashmaps (how, at this point in their education???)

I checked the link and don't see what you are describing. One comment is talking about how to use a hashmap. But, I wouldn't be suprised if they didn't know what a hashmap was at all, since I've encountered that in undergrad at brick-and-mortar too.

> More than half the classes in the CS BS degree at WGU look like filler too

That's exactly how I feel about most gen-eds at a brick-and-mortar :)

But, I am actually learning things from these filler courses that were never taught at my university, nor taught at the workplace, which honestly did surprise me in a good way.

This is the same as paper reviewers for academic journals. The reviewer are usually authors whose work has been accepted into the journal. And then you build up better contacts and also you know how the review process works intimately and this are more likely to get papers accepted.

> honestly mail servers should not aggressively reject E-mail simply because some other rando at the ISP sends spam

This is because the business department will try to force admins to ignore requests to remove spammers as the spammers generally pay decent money.

By blocking everyone, it forces the ISP to get off their ass and kill the spammer irrespective of how much they are willing to pay.

I kept journals for several years. One night I woke up from a dream that was particularly interesting, so I turned on the light, found my journal, and wrote down everything I could remember.

I decided then to keep a journal and a pen next to my bed so that recording additional dreams would be easier. I soon found that I had collected multiple volumes of recorded dreams and auxiliary notes about them.

I don't know whether writing my dreams down made it more likely that I would dream, or more likely to remember my dreams--I know that some people say that it makes you more likely to remember your dreams, but I don't know whether that's true. I just know that the number of dreams I ended up writing down was much greater than I expected based on the number of dreams that I had previously remembered.

Also, I needed to write them down very quickly after waking or I'd forget them. Every minute I waited caused me to lose more details.

That still seems to be true years later. I don't keep a dream journal anymore, but I notice that if I wake from a dream, and I want to remember it, I need to write it down or tell someone about it pretty much right away. If I don't, it'll be lost within a few minutes. I might remember that I had a dream, and I might remember what I felt like when I was having it, but most often nothing more than that.

If I write it down or otherwise communicate it, though, I usually remember the parts that I managed to communicate before the rest disappeared.

Maybe if you keep a journal close to your bed as I once did, you'll get lucky one night and wake up from a dream to write it down. Maybe it will then turn out that those people are right: that writing down dreams makes you more likely to remember additional ones.

I don't know if that's true, but maybe.
> The old musique concrete concept was full of pretentious silliness

This is really cruel to the very smart, creative people and quite a lot of spirited women who led that movement. Éliane Radigue's works alone are a monumental achievement in music. The entire power electronics and noise genres owe a huge debt to the pioneers of musique concrete. They were playing with new media and giving voice to the industry of cities. I don't see anything pretentious or silly there.
one of the reasons for no small appliances is that some people will bring in a $45 portable 1500W electric space heater and put it under their desk, because they feel cold, and they have totally no idea of the problems and difference that adding a 1500W resistive electric load (vs like a 25W desk lamp) to the shared 15/20A 120VAC circuits in a cubicle farm can cause. those things are absolute fire hazards when used in the wrong environment.

For executives, RCV is the way to go for sure (or maybe approval voting).

For the representative govt, proportional voting seems like the way to go. Give each legislator voting power equal to their number of votes (with some cutoff for logistical reasons). Reducing both the need to vote strategically and the efficacy of gerrymandering (since one district can now be 45% rep from party A, 44% rep from party B, and 11% rep from party C scaled by the total number of residents).

Spring is a one thing, Java is really another. One can use Java without reflection, and then the cold starts are really reduced. Additionally, there's a GraalVm which is optimized VM which should be even faster. On top of that, if the reflection is not used, these days one can compile Java to the native image, which has none of these problems.

I wish I knew what the deal is with coffee and businesses.

I worked at one F500 company that eliminated the coffee for cost-saving reasons. The coffee was terrible, so I didn't exactly cry, but for this company it couldn't have cost more than, maybe, a million or so a year. I mean, I wouldn't want to write the check myself, but as a budgetary line-item, it would have been a rounding error.

I've worked at an office that dumped their Bunn drip machine that had worked since 1837 for a Keurig, because they didn't like the big twice-yearly bills for the coffee service. The Keurig has been replaced twice, and the cups fill the waste bin, and I guarantee they're paying more for coffee now.

It's really weird how people get hung up on the Coffee Question. I assume they're all tea drinkers and are being spiteful.
