Modern cars are all in all pretty awful. They are the posterboys of technology that took a wrong turn at some point. Modern engines/electric engines? Fine.

After a period of development, the ordering becomes a mess by keep adding columns to the end with no logical grouping and it's a pain to view the data that way.
Very nice! At that amount your biggest expense would be in time.

Have you ever considered offering this as a service to others? I'm guessing you could make some pretty big savings in parts too if you were ordering in bulk.
Ah we noticed this - improving now.
This must be balanced against having to pay a premium for a service with too few customers to sufficiently spread their fixed costs.

No, privacy runs counter to a world with free information. If privacy was an actual right we would need to destroy most history books because we never got those people's permission to reshare information about them. News reporters would have to get permission from people and companies they are writing reports about.

I did too, worse during winter months when it was overcast or raining so with hindsight probably getting SAD, with what I know about it today.

However I also had what was probably an undiagnosed mild form of pellagra, knowing what I know about that today, which was treated with punishment for not washing properly by parents, which didnt help to put it mildly! Its not nice being washed with a scrubbing brush on patches to remove it and constantly told off.

I feel this. As a first year Computer Science student at university I am currently torn between staying as CS or switching to Computer Engineering. I am really interested in the low level aspects of computers from a software perspective (OS development, assembly, compilers) but I feel my education in my area of interest won’t be complete if I don’t also understand things from a hardware perspective.
This might be something Americans think about legslislation, but in a European context legislation in practice is not something you just rip off, either you increment it or subtract it.

Earth's Population Is About to Hit 8B
I'm experiencing a version of this. I'm burned out at my job, but my life circumstances and personality keep me from looking for another one.

What I have done is strictly confining my job to have a minimal impact on the rest of my day and concentrate all my real effort in a particular hobby. I have gotten decently good at it in about a year, and made myself known in a few communities where the top practitioners hang around by sharing my results or giving feedback for others.

The result is that now I'm continuously rejecting commissions and offers that would turn it into a second job. I don't want that, but just getting asked feels so validating that the effort is completely worth it.

But also "The actual data rate depends on the number of detectors simultaneously in use, their exposure parameters, and the precise timing of when their exposure readouts arrive in the ICDH for processing" - in a reduced operation mode, they can turn down the number of sensors, etc., to keep the data rate below the live transmission rate.

Is it difficult to transition? Yes, in that if you spend 10 years learning SystemA, then it will take some time with SystemB to build up to the _same level of expertise_ that you enjoyed on SystemA.

The neat thing about learning one OS or system _deeply_ is that the deep knowledge gifts you with frameworks for learning the next-system.

I wrote software on various *nix'es during my university time, then worked on OS/2 (yes, "OS-who?"), Windows, and now I'm at Google, (my work involves 80% Linux 20% Win). It took me some time to re-build my skills on each environment/platform, but it's been a great ride and a lot of fun.

I think the idea is to use waste cooling oil, meaning oil that was already used for cooking, then blended with whatever to make it more usable as jet fuel and reused. So it wouldn't be a waste of crops, but reuse of a waste product already manufactured and used for other things.
Budgets have been extremely tight this year and layoffs have been higher than usual. 2021 (aka The Great Resignation) was actually the sweet spot to find a job.
I think your problem then is with the current state of progressive politics in the USA, because the lack of care for labor rights, etc. (you provided a good list) is lacking at every level of society and class. Ask a working class progressive what they care about right now and you probably won’t hear “worker’s rights.”

Obviously the Overton Window works in both directions. All I’m saying is that MSNBC seems to track generally the state of liberal-progressive political discourse, even if it isn’t the left-leaning progressive discourse you’d hope it would be.

Hopefully that makes sense. Appreciate your reply.

It is possible, the search keywords are "synthetic fuels" or "e-fuels" ("electro-fuels). Currently it's a lot more expensive than fossil fuel, which is why it's mostly a research project and not a large-scale commercial business.

One problem is that while you can get an unlimited amount of hydrogen via electrolysis of water, you have to get the carbon from somewhere to produce hydrocarbons. There is a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere, but it's still a pretty low concentration so it takes a lot of energy to filter it out. And yes, using factory exhaust etc. is an easier option, but if we're gonna solve climate change most CO2 exhaust sources have to be replaced at some point so that might not be a very long term plan.

Sri Lanka is the first of possibly many countries to fall or suffer serious consequences in the next year or two.

Inflation, coupled with a rally in the strength of the US Dollar, is going to push many smaller nations into resource shortages and ultimately towards revolution.

Even many of the major world currencies are doing poorly. The Euro is tanking(back to parity with the dollar, for now, but it may go lower). The Yen is in trouble. We may need another Plaza Accord. There is also a very real risk that we see populist governments come to power across the EU and much of the world.

If you think the recession and upheaval is getting ready to be over with you need to take a deep dive into the macro world and see what's happening. Bank runs and a major economic collapse in China. Brazil and India cozying up to Russia for oil, with Europe and Japan utterly dependent upon them as well. Industry in Germany and much of the EU about to grind to a halt.

+1 on making the yogurt. I have been making L. reuteri yogurt (or fermented milk, technically) for a few months. I started with some BioGaia Gastrus tablets in batch 1 and now just use a tablespoon or two of batch n - 1.

But why all was calling it (before the release) “the first picture of space in colors”? It isn’t captured with colors, it’s captured with infrared like all the space photos, then “colored”, as he said:

> Now, our eyes and brains have pretty good dynamic range, but this blows them out of the water — and more importantly, there’s no real way to show it.
“It basically looks like a black image with some white specks in it, because there’s such a huge dynamic range,” said DePasquale. “We have to do something called stretch the data, and that is to take the pixel values and sort of reposition them, basically, so that you can see all the detail that’s there.”

Before you object in any way, first, be it known that this is basically how all imagery is created — a selection of the spectrum is cut out and adapted for viewing by our very capable but also limited visual system. Because we can’t see in infrared and there’s no equivalent of red, blue and green up in those frequencies, the image analysts have to do complicated work that combines objective use of the data to subjective understanding of perception and indeed beauty. Colors may correspond to wavelengths in a similar order, or perhaps be divided up to more logically highlight regions that “look” similar but put out wildly different radiation.

I'm terrified of this. I've no idea why, but if I hear a song too many times in a couple day period I have a night of fever dreaming where I wake up over and over again to the song in my head. It's like my brain has over conditioned the pathway for that song and as soon as it starts trying to dream it falls into it and the dream breaks and I wake up. It happens to me a couple times a year and when I hear any of the songs it's happened with before I feel a deep physical revulsion.

I kind of wonder if it's a symptom of something but am otherwise more or less 100% neurotypical so I think it's just a weird quirk.
In terms of the length of the hydrocarbon chains, winter diesel has shorter chains than summer diesel (to reduce the gelling temperature), which moves it towards a kerosene-like composition. So in that way you could say it's a blend of (summer) diesel and kerosene. However, it's a product made to diesel specifications at a refinery, and has to satisfy all the other properties of diesel fuel standards like sulphur content, cetane number etc etc.

Someone brought it up in a retro. We then kept the shorter ones under 24 hours, though a huge one may still take a few days. I think you just have to set it up as a policy with colleagues, and most would agree that it's reasonable.

The back and forth is part of the process, but it's a lot shorter once someone has actually read the code.

Also lowering the bar helps. We do review badly formatted stuff and misleading variable names. And definitely check for major bugs. But not poorly named variables and inconsistent architecture, unless it conflicts with a written code style doc.

Part of the delay is thinking of a way to "negotiate" a style change. I'd recommend putting a written style guide to minimize that. If you want it to be camel case or whatever, negotiate it on the style guide.

If someone has the ability to run things on my machine as my user (which presumably would be required to exploit Retbleed), then they can already read the login cookies for all my accounts, as they are stored in plaintext on disk in Firefox's cookies.sqlite file. Password vault is a little more work, since it's encrypted on disk, but presumably they could just read my password manager's memory space during a period when the database is unlocked. Same with SSH keys, though they'd have to poke into ssh-agent's memory.

Don’t recall specifically. There maybe may have been randomized A/B tests on the “special blend” at some point, I think — it was never spelled out on the site, but I think that was the experimental mix du jour and we tended to use that instead of forced randomization.

Then why did China ask for the Hambantota port[1]. It is a clear strategic and economic policy. Not to deny other countries haven't done that in the past; but it is a clear way of gaining control - especially the taking control over infrastructure part.

regular debian testing, unless you are doing something really esoteric, is really quite stable for desktop use. such as you might get if you installed the basic barebones debian CLI setup totaling about 1GB disk space occupied and then used apt to install xorg and xfce4 or any other window manager.

debian-stable is extremely conservative in packages and stuff is often several years behind.
