That’s weird. You explicitly choose what to add to your GraphQL API too. If you’re just setting up a random library that exposes your entire database, that’s no fault of GraphQL.
I recently discovered the Apple Numbers formula editor UI. It’s surprisingly minimal and nice, it does a good job blending text editing and visual blocks. It’s somewhat reminiscent of scratch or blockly IMO.

Many LED lightbulbs make claims about their expected lifetime. Except these numbers are often a fantasy. The LED itself may last almost forever, but the capacitors commonly go bad in a year or so.

I suspect that would be the reality with a lot of the proposed mandatory labeling for electronics, too.

The term clean loses its meaning if you include the production phase. There is no way to produce any product of any form without impacting the environment in some form.

Especially because you can't really draw a line at that point, as you'll also have to include the production impact of tools and materials which you needed to produce your product. Suddenly, basically everything that happened since industrialization is part of the equation.
To my understanding for DDR5 on-die ECC is due to the high frequencies the individual dies run at. You are still vulnerable for anything between the RAM to the CPU.

I really had to converse with the lead in this wise:

If I stapled your HR record, including your bank account and routing number, to our shared refrigerator so I could remember it, would you think that appropriate?

Really, this was the context of our meeting.

> instead of emphasising the wattage of a bulb, if you showed the lumens/$, more efficient bulbs would naturally win out. Instead, LED bulbs have fake wattage numbers to show the equivalent wattage incandescent lighting that would be needed to match the LED.

I don't understand what the problem is supposed to be. The system we currently have is that all bulbs are labeled with their brightness ("equivalent wattage"), which is the outcome the customer cares about. You can then choose the cheapest bulb at the brightness level you want. That second step already causes more efficient bulbs to crowd less efficient bulbs out of the market.

In your hypothetical system, we stop indicating how bright bulbs are. Instead, we indicate how efficient they are, and customers are supposed to work out the brightness for themselves.

Why would anyone want that?
There's a meme that criss-crosses Facebook from time to time that notes that in general, one doesn't find any skeletal remains in the rock formations in the Appalachians. You might find them washed into a cave, but you won't find any in the rock itself, as those mountain formations predate the evolution of skeletons.

Sounds interesting, but considering it is content addressed, I think by sending code over the wire you are also sending its dependencies as well? Otherwise the recipient can't figure out the dependencies when they encounter hash mismatch (assuming some dependencies aren't in the web). If dependencies are sent as well, how difference is this from the lock file approach used by other languages?

I would mostly consider that law to be a good idea. But suppose I want to leave a temperature sensor on a mountainside somewhere, or attach a depth sensor to a walrus. Those are cases where I tend to suspect that it might be better for the manufacturer to have a lot of freedom as to the form of the object, and an expected lifetime after which the nonreplaceable battery dies may be the best of all possible worlds.
Some interesting bits:

> We recently reported the development of a “universal” phage T4 vaccine design platform by Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) engineering that can rapidly generate multivalent vaccine candidates.

> Intriguingly, the T4-CoV-2 vaccine induced high levels of Spike-specific serum IgA antibodies (endpoint titers up to 62,500) when administered by either the i.m. [intramuscular] or the i.n. [intranasal] route. This is notable because IgA stimulation is not commonly observed in traditional vaccines…

> … significantly elevated percentages of CD4+ T cells producing IFN-γ were detected in the i.n. group (1%) in comparison to the i.m. group (0.55%) of vaccinated mice (P < 0.001 between i.n. and i.m.). These data indicated an enhanced Th1-mediated immunity induced by i.n. administration of the vaccine.

> … high titers of mucosal sIgA antibodies were elicited by i.n. vaccination (endpoint titers up to 12,500), in addition to high levels of systemic immune responses as described above. In contrast, i.m. immunization failed to produce sIgA, which is not unexpected.

One of my favorite answers was about programming languages written by a Jörg W Mittag. It was a comparison between shells like bash and proper programming languages and featured a huge table comparing syntax, showing how languages are supposed to scale up in complexity while shells are supposed to scale down.

Never found it again on the site. Years ago I remember digging up a link to the question but got the 404 page when I followed it.
I've made AirPods last longer than any other pair of earbuds I've ever had.

It's the cord. For me, a max of six months of fiddling with the damn thing and it breaks.

I've had real headphones last quite a bit longer— but I buy the ones with replaceable cords. The pair I still have is on its fourth cord and second pair of muffs.

I don't view it as any sort of economic, human, or environmental catastrophe, that they stop holding a charge after... how long again? I've had a pair of Pros since before the pandemic which seem to hold up fine.

So I'm around what, twenty cents a day? It's a rare day I don't wear them for a solid hour.

It undermines the argument to pick the easy, lazy, and really rather bad example that everyone else flocks to for some bizarre reason. It's genuinely hard to come up with a better product category for glued-in batteries than in-ear wireless headphones.
So you are saying it works? At least all the production systems where we’ve done this work fine, they’re just inefficient, feel vaguely dirty, and are unpleasant to work on. They’re still bringing in boatloads of money though.

> the onus is on you to know what you’re buying and who you’re buying it from and what kind of commitment you can expect from them

that opinion is pretty convenient for the game publisher considering I've yet to see a single one who made it possible for a consumer to know the date they would pull the plug before purchasing the game.

How generous that it's our responsibility to do what we cannot do, but misguided to expect game publishers to do what they can do because it would be more expensive for them. Ubisoft makes billions in revenue. They can afford to not be deceptive and to make sure that players have an opportunity to access and continue to use their purchases for as long as the company has purchases on offer.
is there a good guide on these two in the vein of the OP?
How many points? Right now I have 16.7k.
Good ideas. Though I’d argue that some CVC violations can only be addressed through tickets. Window tint violations, for example, produce a dangerous situation the entire time that vehicle is in operation. No amount of traffic direction and whatnot can fix that - only a ticket to remove the illegal tint.

Was wondering what these random numbers were, I expected a product number from a manufacturer. Instead:

> An 18650 Battery is a lithium-ion rechargeable battery. The first 4 digits of the designation “18650” indicate the physical dimensions while the 5 <sup>th</sup> digit indicates it is a cylinder cell. The standard 18650 battery is 18mm around by 65mm long.

I have a few personal projects on Gitlab. Mostly I use them because my employer uses the self-hosted version. Their products are propriatery and probably need to be stored internally for compliance reasons. I thought the self-hosted product was their USP-- believed it enough to buy a few hundred bucks of GTLB shares (-40% :sigh:)

The most successful of my projects has a potential audience of a few hundred users-- custom firmware for specific obscure hardware. The others, the likely user base is likely one.

I suspect that's what a lot of hobbyist projects are going to be-- an itch scratched for a single user and/or a very small community, perhaps cast into the void with the thought "someone else might find some value in it" or "this helps as a portfolio for future job interviews-- lets me showcase technologies I don't work on 40 hours a week"

The thing is, this means that there's a fair chance you're going to reach endgame. You don't need any more features because your itch is scratched. There will be no new commits, but it's nice to have the archive for when someone actually needs the code. So activity is an awful proxy for value here.
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Camilla-Whittington/pub... has a review of studies into the venom but the only source for the pain I’ve seen is the same, Fenner 1992.

That said, a decent amount of painful stuff exists in Australia, so I wouldn’t be surprised; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrocnide_moroides springs to mind.
Pretty much anything engineered (buildings, bridges, electronics, houses, ...) have a death date. Any civil engineering projects I've been a part of have always had a quantified project lifetime. We _could_ build things that lasted hundreds of years, but the cost would be astronomically high and demand would change in that timeline.

Opinion: People seem outraged at this with electronics but not the other products. This confuses me greatly.
> ability to construct all the on-site infrastructure for the SMR to generate the electricity.

I'm a little confused by this, as all existing reactor designs required both the reactor and their infrastructure to be built on-site. I'm not sure why you think it would be an open question to just do the infrastructure.
If you haven't used Colab/Juypter Notebooks yet, I highly recommend you try it. It's a "notebook" style interface used a lot in data science, and it allows you to run "cells" in arbitrary order if needed. Stylized comments are well supported.

The other interesting interface I've come across is https://gibber.cc/ and https://glicol.org/ which are both music coding environments though they have slightly different UI so are both worth exploring to get a sense. What I imagine is an extension of their approach to make going from a (Python) REPL to working code more seamless. My workflow is often play in a REPL until I get it working, and then try and reconstruct the right order of code back in an editor. There's got to be a better way of going from REPL to code than that, but I've not found it yet.

Agree with this. We created our own nested query language using matrix params and path separators to let the client query for nested sub-resources, including filters against collections.

It’s pretty neat but nice graphql standardized it so things like consoles and other tools can be written against it.

> Like 95% of the immediate problems of AI policy are just "who has power under capitalism"

I’m with Jack and Ted Chiang[1] on this one. I’ve never really been at all interested in AI policy despite being very interested in AI, exactly because it is obvious to me that the problems are “power under capitalism”.

Most AI policy is totally misdirected because it doesn’t attack the actual problem with AI technology.

I would think most consumers are buying a perpetual, irrevocable (and until recently, typically) unrefundable license.

I dont think any consumer expects an older program to no longer work just because the company decided it shouldn't work anymore.

> the “everyone is fullstack+devops” amateur hour dystopia that is becoming all too common?

What a weird thing to say. That was the original state. At some point people started splitting things up because they felt that would be better (or they just weren’t capable of grasping more than one thing?), but I’m extremely sceptical of all this specialization.
At this point, I only buy Apple products because of inertia. Give me an out-of-the-box Linux laptop that's as easy to use and that supports the software I need for my work, and give me a way to port over all of my cloud stuff, and I'm done with Apple forever. They're trading on the reputation they earned decades ago.

This said, the problem isn't limited to one company. It's how capitalism works. In order to succeed, whether as a company or individual, you have to convince people to part with something called money they have been programmed to avoid parting with as much as humanly possible... in other words, you succeed not based on the value of what you produce (because wage work's actual cost is literally a rounding error) if you are better at transactions in a zero-sum game than others are. We probably need for money to exist, because trade wouldn't work without it, and because we're still a hundred years or more from true post-scarcity communism, but having a whole society run on an operating system of zero-sum transactions has some pretty clear negatives--neither the smallest nor the worst of which is tech waste--even if it's not always evident how best to fix this. Companies are going to keep producing short-lived crap because it's good for sales, because ultimately anything other than "good for sales" cannot be afforded under this particular economic system where something is either sold or it dies.
It's not just you. I have 30 years of experience coding and... hmm, probably 15 years of experience with git, at this point. I still think git is surprisingly confusing, and a lot of the command names aren't very intuitive. The engine is good, but the UI sucks.

I wish the world had standardized on mercurial instead, but here we are.

Perhaps from your perspective there is “tons of demand” due to what you read on the internet. Perhaps that amount of demand won’t move the needle at Ford, say, or another incumbent.
I've asked before and I've never got a straight answer, but why isn't ODATA more popular? It's open, though I know SAP and MS have botched their ecosystem mostly via inaction. But to me, it's great, SQL -> ORM -> ODATA, for 95% of what I need, it fits perfectly.
I played my SNES for maybe 25 years or whatever. I see no reason why such longevity should be an exception.

Anyway, I also complain about planned obsolescence in other areas: TVs, fridges, washers, etc. A friend of mine uses 50+ year old fridges and cars. They still run fine, though the cars are a death trap.

I guess what I’m saying is, there’s a gradient or pendulum, and we’ve swung too far towards the wasteful side of things in my opinion.
Lawyers, Warn Your Clients About Social Media (2020)
Good question! I need some time to reach the answer.

Note that a air conditioner or a heat pump creates a temperature difference using energy. Here the cold thing is the LED (or whatever is the name of this device, I'll call it LED). The hot thing is ... the light!

If you have an empty box, and the walls are made by a perfect emisor/absorber that is is like a perfect black body, then inside the box you will get light emitted by the walls. After a while, the light inside the box and the walls of the box will reach equilibrium. Then you can assign a temperature to the radiation inside the box, that is equal to the temperature of the walls. Moreover, you can assign energy and entropy to the radiation. The technical name is "photon gas" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon_gas

There are also more details in https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-01622-6

So the cold part is the LED, the hot part is the light. In a case of a LED like in this experiment, the radiation is not at equilibrium, and the LED is not a black-body emisor, so the calculations are more complicated.

(I can somewhat reconstruct the calculation in the article in Wikipedia if I have enough time and a small amount of cheating with Google. But the calculations of the temperature/entropy of the light emitted by the LED in this experiment are above my level.)
I've been thinking about doing the same with my parents, so your post is a nice timely reminder for me.

Thank you, and I'm very sorry for your loss.
Pretty much

* data compression - say midsized 1.6TB mysql db compressed into 400Gb => allows to run replica servers on cheaper hardware (smaller drives)

* hot data set caching - depending on case can be 5-100 times better performance

* single pool but different settings per FS - say block sizes 16k for DB and 256kb for file storage

* snapshots. Instant snapshots

* coming back to db replication case, this helps to test db scheme migration on close to production env and prepare better planning/downtime window. Once tests done - rollback snapshot and enable replica back without full reclone.

And so on
