Power from your panels go straight in the low voltage network which has high loses and is used for very short distances. That means you cannot support other houses which have clouds over them.

15 cents is huge. It's 15% of the way to the next note. Even 5 cents sounds noticeably out of tune. Trained musicians can easily tune to less than 2 cents without using tricks like beating to get even more accurate tuning.

Guitarists may be out of tune, but chances are more likely you're hearing a poorly intonated guitar. You can tune the open strings perfectly, but if your string scale-length deviates from what your fretboard expects, you'll have notes that progressively get more out of tune the further down the neck you play. You can't correct this with tuning, you need to adjust the tensions in your bridge saddles, and most amateur guitarists are afraid to do this.

Also you mention live settings, it depends on how big the group is I guess, but at smaller venues and smaller bands the stage monitoring is often so bad you can't hear your own guitar.
You don't actually have to be an expert in everything that interests you: For example, you can enjoy music without ever becoming an expert musician. Many people are fascinated by the images coming from the JWST without becoming PhD level astronomers.

If you think about it -- expertise isn't what makes a lifetime worth living. It's a sense that what you're doing has meaning: A meaningful life is what gives you that sense of "enough"-ness.

Meaning can unfold in different ways, but part of it is about being "in the moment" -- While you're learning music, you have to find meaning in that journey without wishing you were findign time for astronomy (or being frustrated that you're not actually Mozart).

I recommend the book "Why Smart People Hurt" which deals specifically with the challenges of smart people and finding meaning.

> San Francisco has an attended 24 hour portable restroom operation in poor parts of the city, called "Pit Stop". Total operating costs are around $30 per flush.[2]

This is some questionable math. They took the costs of the units and staff and divided by the number of late night usages to arrive at ~$30 per usage.

But if they were used twice as much that rate would be halved, etc.

In any case the fixed costs are the same regardless of usage metrics.

It's very misleading to take a highly fixed cost and label it like a usage-based cost.

Zodiac is the easy introduction because it's the least Neal Stephenson book of the lot: short, minimal infodumps and tangents, and it really doesn't get much nerdier than the protagonist being a chemist [as well as a wetsuit-wearing crime fighter] or much weirder than there being a metal band in there because Stephenson wanted there to be a metal band.
NTSC adopted the color system it did because the cost of delay lines was considered to be too high, PAL also was more technically complex and probably would have delayed the adoption of Color TV, which was unacceptable to RCA.

The US oft has this problem, we tend to be early adopters of technology on a wide scale, so by the time a thing comes along that solves most of the inherent problems in the v1, we already have a wide scale implementation of the thing. This happened with TV color, phones (24 Channel T1 vs 32 channel E1 and aLaw/uLaw), credit cards (mag stripes), and all sorts of other things.

SECAM had some real advantages, but made working with composite signals hard, because of their FM nature. PAL and NTSC are reasonably close conceptually, and frankly so is PAL, you can easily encode PAL into SECAM, because it's mostly the composite signals that are different.

NTSC was originally 525 lines/60 fields per second (odd/even lines) giving an effective refresh of 30 fps, the 525 lines itself was dictated by our 6MHz channel width, and the field refresh by our 60Hz power. When they added color, they dropped the field refresh down to 59.97 to deal with a beat frequency issue between the color subcarrier and the audio subcarrier.
It sounds like SwiftUI is capable, but not performant for his use case. Fair enough.
I think a more interesting question would be: should food that contains grapefruit have a warning? Any food with high levels of phenylalanine says “phenylketonurics: contains phenylalanine”. Perhaps food containing substantial amounts of grapefruit should carry a similar warning.

This is complicated by the fact that other citrus fruits may have similar interactions and, at least according to Wikipedia, the full set of problematic citrus fruits is not well characterized.

I've recommend https://grasshopper.app/ for people that are interested in programming and want to get a taste for it. It's a mobile game like experience so they can make progress anywhere, typically when they are bored at their job.

Grasshopper is nice because it teaches concepts well, is basically JavaScript syntax, and is largely button pushing through little puzzles, typically visual / animation based, which can be more motivational for beginners because they can see their code working

Would be interesting to see if it's approachable for younger humans
You need to make your peace with the fact that there will always be vastly more things you don't know than things that you do. That would be true even if your life were 10x longer or 100x longer. Your life span is not the limiting factor. The size of your brain is the limiting factor. At the very least, there are 8 billion other brains out there, and your brain cannot contain all of the knowledge contained in those 8 billion others.

But there are some fields of knowledge that give you more leverage towards obtaining expertise than others. Being an expert in Lisp, for example, will not make you an expert in C++. But it will let you realize that becoming an expert in C++ is very likely to be a waste of time, because being an expert in C++ means knowing a lot of random and mostly arbitrary trivia that has accumulated over many decades of bad decision-making.

There are a lot of examples of subjects that give you similar kinds of leverage. There are probably a dozen core topics that allow you to cut vast swathes through most of human knowledge: basic physics (GR and QM), the theory of computation and complexity theory, game theory and the theory of evolution (and how these are related) is probably the 80/20 list. So if you really want to maximize your expertise I would start by focusing on a few of those topics.

But, as others have pointed out, you really should take a step back and ask yourself why you want to become an expert in many things. Do you want expertise for its own sake, or do you want the prestige that comes from having others perceive you as an expert? Because those are two very different goals.

Officially, it's only on paper.

It kind of makes the key signatures come out more sensible because you don't want to have a signature where there are both sharps & flats in one key.

>electronic tuners are often used to set an initial temperament on a reference rank

>tune other ranks to the reference rank, listening to the differential waves created by the two ranks to discern in/out-of-tuneness.

The equivalent on guitar is to use the tuner for reference on the high E string only, then tune the low E to match perfectly by ear. You're going to be hearing a lot of these two, and they better be able to make you happy to begin with.

Then tune the middle 4 strings according to what the hands will be doing in relation to the reference strings, as well as who you will be playing with and how they are tuned.

Without an electronic tuner a single tuning fork is enough for this, and it's actually better than having a set of 6 forks at the nominal even tempered frequencies.

E=329.6 is the fork you want so you don't have to fret the high string to match an A=440 fork.
They need to at least police the fake reviews better.
I think it probably depends a lot on your employees. Some might be really interested in what is going on and enjoy being in the loop. Some might have been burnt before so actively want to see signs of decay or lack of growth. Some are there for the tech, really dont care. If your staff is like the last group you're wasting your time doing presentations.
Not every paper is to be some grand work. Sometimes you get a result and literally want to move on with your life. Maybe you want to focus more on another project. Maybe you want to finally defend your thesis or be done with this post doc tenure and uproot yourself. Maybe the grant only funded a year of work. Feature creep is a real thing with research papers. A paper shouldn't take years to publish, if it does you should publish the earlier findings and just cite that in your later paper so those ideas can get out there as soon as possible, instead of sitting in your draft for potentially years.

Credits or vouchers are not a new thing. Common schemes are limited duration, buying when you need them (possibly with bulk discount) instead of every month or buying every month but automatically stopping if you still have 10 stocked up (e.g. pop-up for phone's) or returning/selling unused vouchers for X%, ...

Given all these options available offering "nothing at all" seems not that reasonable.

> I think not breaking the optimiser, and out of band hinting appear somewhat orthogonal but I'd be very glad to be wrong.

If you're writing a transpiler, you might as well make it an optimizer and use a solid hinting system to guide the target RDBMS' optimizer so as not to be at its mercy. If you were implementing from scratch rather than as a transpiler, you'd have to write an optimizer anyways.

Also, the reason optimizers can suck is precisely that there can be many ways to plan a query.

E.g., if you have 10 table sources INNER JOINed in sequence, you could start the query plan with any one of them, but not every one of those 10 tables will yield a good query plan when used as the starting table! You want to start such a query plan with the table that has a PK or index key that is most fully determined by the WHERE/ON constraints, by which I mean: the table source that will have the smallest cardinality given the constraints imposed on it by the query.

Sometimes the query that one has to optimize is a sub-query deeply buried in another, possibly in a VIEW, and the hinting needed may be specific to the context outside the view. Now inline hinting leads to having to inline sub-queries (repetition).

The many table sources INNER JOINed case is one I've actually run into.

Part of the problem seems to be that pushing constraints is a fairly advanced sort of query algebra: you need a good AST in order to be able to do it, and even then, it's not all you have to do to build a decent optimizer. If you look at the SQLite3 optimizer, it's gotten much better over the years at pushing constraints.

With every table source named, you can address hints about them, and you can do it out of band.

That or pick a target whose optimizer you can either work on or already is good enough for the transpiler's purposes. However, keeping things general is a good idea, especially when it comes to SQL (there's so much incompatible variation between SQLs!), so as to keep the transpiler generic and portable. The lack of a standard and solid hinting system is a real problem. Also, sometimes optimizers get worse.

Don't decide which things to work on and risk analysis paralysis along with a string of other negative feelings.

Let curiosity guide you, explore as many domains as you're able and willing to and become competent with most of them. The more domains you weave into the web of knowledge, notwithstanding the lack of expertise, the higher the probability you'll find links across the ever expanding network. Maybe delve deep into the foundation, occasionally or frequently, for you could stumble into something new. Consider teaching or talking about your knowledge; open a blog, write a book, whatever. It'll help others as well as you, now and later.

In the end, whether through our descendants, works or knowledge, we're all child of that instinct to leave something after our death, of which your post is yet another manifestation.
The author talks about SwiftUI on macOS, which I also find to be much much more buggy than what's on iOS.

Very unexpected things happen, like items in a specific region in the App UI stop responding to clicks next time once you interact with them.

However I find it fine on iOS and the issues are usually around Apple changing something in the behaviour of the UI or API and breaking it, then you need to fix it for specific versions of the iOS. That's what you get when a framework is not mature yet, I guess.

That said, I don't think there's a turning back. It might be buggy but it definitely feels like the right way of building UI.

Oh, about the performance, you can build very sluggish or very responsive UI with SwiftUI because there's a night and day performance cost difference between "re-calculating and re-drawing" the UI and adjusting a property of it. Always try to structure your components in a way that changes happen by changing passed values instead of inserting or re-doing the views.

SwiftUI works quite a bit like React, many performance lessons from React will translate into SwiftUI.
