People think you only need insulation in cold climates when in reality AC is often more expensive and energy intensive than heating.
Some common cases (that wouldn't be considered algorithms) are:

- working with grids (rows and columns)

- iterating over nested data structures (eg. all people in a group).

From an outsider's perspective this appears to be a systemic failure. Maybe because California is a political whipping post, but they seem to be in the news a lot with power disruptions.

Josh W Comeau has a fabulous article about hands-free coding that I think every developer should read: https://www.joshwcomeau.com/blog/hands-free-coding/

Ok, I wish you the best, but I don't think it's productive to continue this conversation. Sadly, you've decided to take the position that Christians should have their right to vote curtailed along with their rights to make decisions for themselves. That's a strongly authoritarian position for an American to take. I hope you'll reconsider.
Both, really. Normalize first with the ambient temperature and then run the AC to sub ambient down towards the 60s.

AC efficiency increases as temperature decreases.

You would have to deal with the fact that your house is now frigidly cold. Also, I can’t remember the last house I lived in California that had decent insulation - so that’s a major assumption.

Yes, but I wonder which niche.

The 1/4" socket and shaft is bulky (as well as the handle) and the ratcheting is largely unneeded, a good set of screwdrivers, unless there is a portability issue, is much more practical in a workshop.

There's a cheap plastic handle design fairly common on old screwdrivers and i've seen it as a wooden handle on chisels too. I didn't know it's name until recently - the "London Pattern Handle". These are peak handle design IMO.

It lets you hold it in a few different ways, with your fingertips for work where you need to accurately feel what the tip is doing. With the palm of your hand when you need to apply lots of torque. It doesn't roll when you set it down. You can smack the end of it when you need to shock a slightly rusty or reluctant screw.

It's ironic because i think these are the cheapest design and i suspect most companies invent their own design precisely because this design is fairly evocative of old cheap mass produced hard plastic handles.

They just feel so good in your hand though. It's the perfect handle design.

When I first bought a smartphone, I made up all sorts of reasons why I wanted one, but the real reason was that I wanted to experience this new gaming form-factor. Surely there would be new, innovative, and exciting games to be played with swipes and taps and a little gyro.

I haven't opened a mobile game in years. I'm sure there are good ones out there but:

1) you have to wade through so much crap.

2) every game I've tried has just sucked down battery, and I need power to do phone stuff.

3) I never found a game that had the sort of progression I enjoy from console and PC games. Everything is designed to be played in 5-minute bursts. Sometimes I really want to just sink my teeth into a game, and it seems the only way to do that is play ports or emulated versions of console games.

4) I had trouble finding games that really took advantage of the form factor. So many games are in the style of console or PC games, but in some way compromised to fit on a phone, be it an on-screen controller, watered-down gameplay, etc.

I know there will be rebuttals to points 2-4, but to that I say, see point 1. At some point it wasn't worth wading through the games I didn't enjoy to find one that I might.

This argument isn't like that whatsoever because the Moon isn't teeming with life.

In what way would mining the moon be destroying it? It would possibly destroy our view of the Moon from Earth, but at the level of mining that we're talking about the mass of the Moon would be relatively unchanged. We're not talking about deconstructing the Moon here.

If you are concerned about us deconstructing a solar body, we could always use the Moon to springboard to the asteroid belt, where we could easily deconstruct bodies and return the valuable resources to Earth without affecting the delicate Moon-Earth system in anyway.

How do you feel about asteroid mining?
Regarding hash joins, the SQLite documentation mentions the absence of real hash tables [0]

SQLite constructs a transient index instead of a hash table in this instance
because it already has a robust and high performance B-Tree implementation at
hand, whereas a hash-table would need to be added. Adding a separate hash table
implementation to handle this one case would increase the size of the library
(which is designed for use on low-memory embedded devices) for minimal
performance gain.

It's already linked in the paper, but here's the link to the code used in the paper [1]

The paper mentions implementing Bloom filters for analytical queries an explains how they're used. I wonder if this is related to the query planner enhancements that landed on SQLite 3.38.0 [2]

Use a Bloom filter to speed up large analytic queries.

Funny, but also, the reliability of art as an honest signal of elevated human work, skill, insight, or experience is like an arbitrage everyone piles into to reap the benefits, and then it no longer represents what it initially did. It's like how we mostly produce music instead of perform it now, where you don't have to spend years becoming a skilled musician to produce music - and so it's not as rare, exceptional, or valuable anymore. Everything loses value/meaning over time, and art that represents a value from a prior time will have lost most of it's meaning.

This is kind of what po-mo theory was about, where people can't tell the difference between the real and represented, what a copies of a copy are, and the relativity of individual experience. AI art is a kind of perfection or demonstration of some of that criticism. What AI art does is use recombinations of existing inputs to produce new symbols that are internally consistent with themselves, and they are only meaningful to us because a) we have accepted the input symbols as premises, and b) we have trained it on our beliefs about consistency that reinforce our beliefs about those symbols. The product of these models not so much "real" as they are just iterations over a finite symbol space. They are artifacts of the logic of an idea.

However, it may be more powerful than we expected, as it's also a perfect meta-criticism for evaluating critical theories, most of which originated (ironically) in literary and art criticism. This dynamic is why you can use ML to produce papers in "theory" that are indistinguishable from acadeimc writing, because these, too, are not honest signals of elevated human thinking or skill, but rather, just self-referential, interally consistent artifacts of ideology whose only bearing on human experience is what we assign to it. Like AI art, they are not an indicator for reality. We can use them to model reality, but confusing the model with the real is full of some pretty subtle tricks.

Anyway, it yields a pretty funny tautology that shows the limits of both art and theory, where arguably, to coin a deepity, if you can simulate it - it's not real.

One can learn best practices without having to work at a startup / tech shop / MANGA. Besides, software development isn't the only skill required, there's likely a lot to learn but not enough time. With most upstarts, timing is more crucial than most other learnable factors, because you can never rollback time.

Speaking if which,

can anyone explain to me why cooling water is an issue for nuke plants? In areas with less water, can’t a coolant fluid be used with a compressor and fans powered by the reactor to cool the system down?

It would reduce energy yields but my intuition says the energy cost for cooling would be negligible compared to production.

Also, can’t coastal water be used for plants near oceans?

I just don’t understand how cooling is an issue.

Ah, fair enough, I misunderstood. Interesting point.
I'm not a physicist, but I'd say the mass of the moon slows down the rotation of the earth, so moving the mass from the moon to the earth would make it spin faster (or at least, slow down less).

> UPDATE. A thought I'd just had: it appears very intuitive that most people do have synesthesia, they're just not consciously aware of it, or, sometimes, don't even know what to call it.

The Wikipedia article is vague, but I've always thought of synesthesia as meaning that a stimulus in one "category" provokes a response in another "category"—Wikipedia and your post seem to say the same thing, but with different, and more technical, terminology in place of "category". More to the point, there seems to be some implication that this is a response that "shouldn't" happen; that there is an appropriate response to the stimulus, and that the actual response isn't the appropriate one.

But it seems that, if, as you suppose, most people have synesthesia, then the problem is one of definitions. If most people have an inappropriate response, then doesn't that mean that the definition of 'appropriate' is wrong—it's meaningless to say that everyone is abnormal!—so that mass-scale synesthesia must, if it exists, indicate nothing unusual per se about synesthetes, but rather a poor mapping on the part of diagnosticians?

Make sense. A fun argument for why brain's underlying "algorithm" should be simple is that evolution didn't take that long to go from creatures with primitive cognitive functions to thinking-talking humans. The sensible solution, just like the way evolution solved many other problems, is to replicate what's working in a massive scale, similar to how we build artificial neural networks. This argument was popularized by jeff hawkins in his thousand brains theory, I believe.

Not only this, but while making other aspects of life worse or more expensive, it will also make the environment worse.

When the accepted wisdom is for all the California suburbanites to have generators as buffers against unreliable power grids, the environment loses.
