The aforementioned industries have pushed heavily for "water rights" under the guise of residential accessibility, artificially deflating their cost and forcing the population to subsidize their usage.

That's like asking why does the government take federal tax dollars to subsidize corn fields in Nebraska despite massive surpluses? Because those businesses then use those profits to continue to lobby for those under the guise of "jobs" and commercial welfare.
Are there any use cases where Fritzing is more suitable than KiCad?
At some point convention at Google on many teams I was on switched from:

Dams dramatically increase evaporation. Pull down the dams on the Colorado and other rivers and you’ll decrease that 50%.

It’ll be good for fish, and species that depend on fish, too.
I use it occasionally as a heads-up about tricky functionality, or to point out something that should be read by future developers, so yes, like a warning. It's similar to `NOTE`, but more important. There's nothing to be done, so `TODO` wouldn't make sense.
Some people negotiate 4-day weeks with the same pay across all industries, but I'd say it's overall less common than the person you replied to. People like to talk about exotic work schedules and the like, but fewer actually make demands for it. Those that try it revert for different reasons, including the rest of the team operating without reasonable consideration.

Where I've seen this be successful is when the person picks up time that overlaps with a remote team. This is viewed as adding additional value because it can be hard to get other people to get up early, or stay up late to collaborate with those teams. If it's part of their deal then it can end up being a more sustainable situation.

If you want a sabbatical, why not just ask for it? Use it as a filter for the organizations you want to work with. I suspect it'll be hard to negotiate because the company won't understand what value they'll get. You are a prospective hire and not a proven asset. It's only after a period that they can assess that they feel you are worthy of a sabbatical and aren't a flight risk. When it comes to academia, then sabbaticals are part of the deal. They aren't for tech companies, although some like Microsoft offer these for higher levels (people with proven value who have lots of options.)

IMHO much saner workflow and good UX in the latest version.I did a simple PCB and got it manufactured on https://jlcpcb.com/
for a couple bucks. Quite a rewarding experience.

I would also suggest that anyone who cares about computers gets to know basic electronics. How do transistors work, what is a bus (e.g I2C or SPI) and how is it all connected? (Drumroll ... a PCB of course). There is a ton of tutorials on youtube that do it end to end. E.g Phils Lab https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLDqQ2L_mUQ for a PCB design. Or Ben Eaters excellent beginner tutorial "Hello World from Scratch" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnzuMJLZRdU
> We don't think an aluminium bike is better than a carbon fibre bike

Depends on how you define better. Carbon bikes are prone to catastrophic failure, and if you fall often are a bad idea. Of course, you might just say "just don't fall".
My project management tool is todo.txt

As far as the hundreds of #todo throughout my code, they are prioritized based on when I'm using the program and decide that I've had enough of a particular issue.

If I sit down to work and I can't think of anything to start with, I do a global search for #todo and pick a random one to work on.

Makes it look easier to design FPGAs than to attempt to write programs in Rust. Or just write the program in assembler AND write your own macro assembler.

Reminds me of the C++ book that used the acronym RAII (corrected) several times per page as if it was a magic spell that warded all evil and finally defined what RAII was around page 250.
To be fair, NG doesn't claim that the paper calls it changes in cultivated varieties, it says "Scientists say..."

That's still modern media in a nutshell though. Who are these "scientists" and also "experts" referenced in the next paragraph? They don't go into that but in true NG fashion they have some pretty pictures.

That said, from what I understand producers changed varieties to get veggies that are easier to grow, feed, and ship using using industrial ag processes. And those processes do require more irrigation and -- especially -- fertilization. Sorry I don't have any sources for that right now; I went to school for journalism.
There's actually a parity to the positions of the pieces that most people don't seem to know about. If you flip an edge or twist a corner, the whole cube becomes unsolvable.

You can also make it unsolvable by swapping stickers because each piece is unique. There is only one red/white/blue corner and only one green/yellow edge. Assuming standard color arrangement, there is no piece with both yellow and white, or both blue and green, or both red and orange.
> The solution is to work together as a tribe, not as individuals.

Agreed. It's not about continuing our way of life and maintaining the same mentality, but with alternative tech. The fix for this requires leadership and cooperation and significant culture shift. At a global level. Unfortunately we're not even close to where we need to be socially or diplomatically. And yes, those who are least able to affect change, and who are least culpable, are already paying the price.
This concept is commonly called "river". Except they go downhill from the rockies, not up. It would be just a tad ambitious to somehow build a second Mississippi but in reverse.
So there's like 4 or 5 different studies cited in that article. The one you're talking about, unless you found the rest of the article and it says something completely different, doesn't reach any conclusions about the cause. It just says that the researchers think the easiest explanation is different cultivars.

That probably has something to do with it. However, plants don't make nutrients out of thin air. They cited samples that found the nutrient content in the soil at "regenerative" farms was much higher than other organic farms. It seems crazy to me to think that soil quality wouldn't be one of the main causes, on top of all the practices to get higher yield out of a smaller area. Which was discussed in the article.
> He may have been responsible for helping target and kill many civilians. He was asked to stop and he didn’t. Why didn’t they politely ask again, while maybe offering a cup of tea or something? It would be nice if they would have, but like we said it’s war time there.

Exactly. It's a luxury to treat a bratty punk with kid gloves, and some people don't have that luxury.
Isn't key derivation function completely separate from aes implementation. I mean you could have used the same broken key derivation with some other aes implementation.

Do we even grow a sizeable proportion of staple crops in the western US? Isn't the majority of water going to crops like almonds (as opposed to grains)?

“folks from California and the Southwest wanting more water”

People don’t complain about Floridians or iowaians. It’s always the brown bodies from California “driving up prices” and “drinking all the water.” California is a dog whistle for anti-immigrant viewpoints. “Folks from California.” We know who you mean when you say that. Immigrants and other “water drinkers.”

So what? Do you pass on memes about how there ought to be a required class, as if there weren't one, that you actually were required to take in school?
I like the concept. IntelliJ IDEs (which I primarily use) recognize both TODO and FIXME by default, and can be configured to recognize other values.

Admittedly, I probably won’t adopt these new values since I tend to attach a Jira ticket and a few sentences to many of my TODOs; however, I can see how the concept would help some teams/individuals who tend to be less verbose with their comments.
> > and most importantly: do NOT opt for the 4k screen

> Good advice for any laptop purchase. You will burn through battery driving that and the pixel density is much higher than necessary.

Hard disagree. I use my thinkpads on AC most of the time, at home.

The crisp fonts in a terminal is a game changer. That has spoiled me: the bare minimum I can work with now is 2k.

Likewise for OLED: except the X1 nano which I use in the daytime, I can't see myself ever using a non OLED screen, so much that I would be ready to pay a huge premium for OLED in a Thinkpad with the X1 nano form factor.

Does a small team of experts really need management? Or do you need other collaborative experts that do sales/accounting/law etc?
There is a learning curve - it takes some time to get used to it.

I had the same experience initially - uh, this is awkward to use - but I stuck with it and now can't go back.
I use XXX to mean "this code is ugly and not the intended design, but I don't see a great way to fix it". If I did, I would leave a TODO with steps. The XXX is a formalized "ugh", a note for anyone reading my code later to glean that I was unhappy. Often times the hardest thing about reading a codebase is rebuilding that mental model on how the code is ideally supposed to fit together at the high level, and an XXX explicitly marks a conflict between the code itself and that vision, and explains why.
ag is pretty cool, but imagine if you could search for files including regexA but only if the file is not a match for regexB.
It is much easier and effective for a technical person to learn how to handle the business. If you farm it out, you very likely end up with someone firmly steeped in business processes that will strangle your startup on the crib, or worse someone who structures the corporation so they can cash out and leave you holding the bag.

Well... for all the atrocities the Germans committed the Poles that I have talked to that survived the war were uniformly appreciative of the restraint of the German officers and conscripts occupying their villages[+], as opposed to the Russians who pretty much destroyed the country they supposedly liberated, killing and raping civilians as they went along.

So there definitely are differences in how the rules of engagement are interpreted from one actor to another. Needless to say this doesn't justify anything the Germans did and I acknowledge that Russia was instrumental in beating the - actual - Nazi's but still, that difference does stand out.

It's a pretty tricky thing because technically the Russians were 'on our side' and the Germans were clearly the enemy and just writing about it in an objective way is hard enough keeping in the back of your mind everything else that the Nazi's were up to.

+ Note that the Germans committed plenty of war crimes in Poland as well and that there were quite a few really bad things that happened in areas under German occupation, but on a relative scale they were considered the 'lesser of two evils' from the point of view of the civilian population that was not directly in the crosshairs of the Germans.

Nope. Washington/Oregon has the same or greater seismic risk to California due to the offshore Juan de Fuca Subduction zone. Less common, but much bigger earthquakes, and generally we're overdue for one. (return period, low hundreds of years. Last one, Jan 26, 1700, magnitude 8.7-9.2.

I'm always bothered by stories like these that seem to do a reasonable job of listing causes of self-inflicted problems, and then try to act like it was some sort of inevitable act of God, or natural law of the universe or something.

According to TFA the causes are:

1. Back-to-back storms in the USA causing production shutdowns. OK, that one is genuinely just random natural variance.

2. Natural gas price explosion. This is due largely to sanctions on Russia. Governments don't actually have to sanction Russian natural gas. It's a choice, one that can be undone tomorrow if need be.

3. Sanctions on a major Belarusian potash producer. Same thing. Belarus isn't even Russia. This could be fixed tomorrow with the wave of a bureaucrat's pen.

4. Ongoing side effects of lockdowns. This was a major own goal. People warned at the time you can't just shut down the economy even if actually had worked, which it didn't. This one sits squarely in government footgun area.

5. China has restricted exports of phosphate to build up stockpiles at home. Once again, governments are creating the damage here.

6. "Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which effectively cut off nearly a fifth of the world’s nutrient exports". For the third time, no, governments cut off those nutrient exports. It wasn't some sort of physical law that said invasions => cut off nutrient supply. It was and is a choice.

What seems to be happening here is that comfortable and powerful politicians have decided that showing how much they care about Ukraine is more important than people eating. The poor around the world will starve, so (primarily) European countries can wave a blue and yellow flag over their bodies. It feels very wrong.
That's not really the whole story though, because water supplies are not a centrally stored resource shared amongst all consumers. It's a fairly distributed system with lots of different reserves feeding different consumers.

For example, small towns may pull their drinking water from a dam or other reserve that is of limited supply, where the agriculture in the area is not affecting the same water, being pulled from rivers or bores or a separate reserve.

That is to say, drought measures should really be applied town by town.
> I had a college degree but in a non-technical field and 0 experience coding before I started the program.

I'm in a somewhat similar situation. Been a programmer since I was 14 but ended up pursuing another field. I'm making good money but the USD exchange rate in my country is seriously making me reconsider. If I end up doing this, I'll learn whatever I need to be competitive in the market. I suppose bootcamps are a nice way to streamline this process.

May I ask what made you switch fields? Did you have reasons other than salary?
IMO, I only use three tags: DREAM, FIXME, and HACKS. The whole point is to write less code and better establish when to revisit things.

- DREAM tags let me focus on getting things shipped and avoid over optimizing/generalizing things that won't provide immediate value. When working in a professional context, they are always accompanied by a ticket. This adds a nice binding for whoever comes next to pick up the task.

- FIXME is also used to help maintain focus, but with the rule that no code ever gets merged with this tag still in place. For personal projects my branches tend to be quite large, so I'm comfortable accumulating some small number of these.

- HACKS calls out unintuitive behavior: breaks in abstraction layers, worst-practices that have better implementations than best-practices, or anything that smells "clever".

Everything else is just comments that future me/team can look back on and say "he must have been drunk when he wrote this, but thanks to these comments I can clearly understand the context and at least what was intended."

All you have to do is dry and grind it to make cornmeal. It's quite digestible, and keeps very well, like wheat. (I've never tried eating it fresh like sweet corn, may have to add that to the bucket list.)

A problem is it is lacking in free niacin, which can result in pellagra, if the diet is principally corn meal. Nixtamalization corrects that[0].

Without nixtamalization, cornmeal doesn't form a dough. You can make corn bread, but not tortillas.

Corn chips, e.g. Fritos, and corn bread don't use nixtamalized corn, but they are quite digestible!

The thing about a single online Identity is that there should be no way for it to be revoked against the will of the person it identifies. In real life I am who I am, and unless I choose to change that, no-one can legally take my identity from me.

There's been too many horror stories of people being locked out of their Google or Facebook accounts by Google and Facebook, even for the most minor of infractions, and that person immediately also losing access to to all the other services they used 'Sign in with...'

Until this problem is solved, I will never switch to a single online Identity for access, and I certainly will never use my Google or Facebook account to register with third party services.
Well... yeah. Apple is running 5nm silicon, there's no way Intel can squeeze the same battery life out of that performance profile on their 10nm node. The flip side of this coin is that it's really good battery life for casual use, and it's not like that performance is going nowhere: it's thrashing the M1 in benchmarks.

I think things will get a lot more interesting in 2024, when Intel and Apple are on similar nodes. Right now Apple is making chips with transistors that are 2-3 times as dense, but they're consistently losing the performance crown to x86 machines on dinosaur silicon. The performance-per-watt gap is bound to start closing, and when it does there won't be much of a benefit left to using ARM, especially if your casual users can get Macbook-beating battery life with it.

We make large scale 3d-printers that can make up-to boat sized prints using our state-of-the-art robot extruder. This extruder can print over 10 kg/h of almost any thermoplastic but is small enough to be mounted on an industrial 6-DOF robot arm. Next to printing, our AM Flexbot system can do milling and sanding too, providing a unique combination of additive and subtractive manufacturing in one system.

We are in the scale-up phase with plenty of customers and are mostly self-funded. We currently have a team of 34 and growing quickly.

We use COTS robot arms, but the robot extruder and supporting hardware/electronics are designed/assembled/tested in house in our workshop which is in the same building as the office. Do you like the combination of software development, hands-on tinkering and playing with track mounted industrial robot arms? We are looking for people to bring our systems to the next level.

Our stack:

- Siemens SINUMERIK (ONE), TIA Portal, PLC
- Siemens NX, NX Open, Rhino/Grasshopper, Solidworks
- Python, FastAPI/PostgreSQL/Docker

This year I reduced my caff from avg 160mg/day(rockstar) to 50mg(caffeinated sparkling water) and also limit to 3days a week(tues-thur). I get the same effect from the reduced mg because of the reduction in frequency. This change is having a profound impact on my anxiety, irritation, and overall contentment. I am far less reactive and much more zenlike. Productivity has increased because I feel like I get a boost on the caff days, rather than feeding a dependency, and I structure my work accordingly.
