Would it be feasible to create a 'heat bus' to pump heat between a network of devices in a house?

E.g in winter allow the fridge to dump heat into the kitchen, in the summer pipe it outside, or into the bathroom floors, or into the water heater.

The kinds of sites that need a refuge of last resort often have dedicated haters. Cloudflare can then monitor the patterns in DDoS attempts to better improve their enterprise services.

> it can be hard to stop with the features that just support your end user application.

I mean, it's not hard, you just choose to stop.

All it really takes is an awareness that you're programming to solve a specific limited defined task, not programming just for fun.

Of course, if you're doing it for fun, then fine, don't stop.

But nothing about stopping is hard. It's just a choice you have.
> 3/ are the specs of the cable and the ports aligned?

This is basically impossible to diagnose as ports and cables are not marked with their supported specs.
Yeah I just posted a similar question, can’t think of any and can think of the converse quite easily.

Even Amazon couldn’t push the Amazon phone for example.

The nearest I can think of is Xbox but that came out of the gate strong with halo and had a fandom.
A very good explanation. Yet what I think is confusing a lot of (very?) good programmers (not me) is that they already do that intuitively by not letting methods become longer than 3 or 4 lines, and whenever implementing a new method, by writing the return statement first (i.e. returning a mock object or similar) and working backwards, i.e. only writing enough code to be able to return the desired value.

If one then goes and tries to write tests for these kind of methods, it feels like superfluous busywork.
So where do we go from here?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 at the moment, but Samsung's typo-filled changelogs don't exactly inspire confidence. It has also been bugging me to accept the new Samsung Account terms, which I don't want to do.

Chinese brands (Huawei, Xiaomi, Motorola, etc.) don't inspire confidence for me either.

Apple had the CSAM scanning controversy. I have an iPad, but a bunch of features I didn't want were turned on by default, and the walled garden approach is obviously a downside.

I would prefer to run a privacy-focused Android distribution, but I have a lot of apps and I don't know how much they depend on Google Play Services, so I don't really want to switch over 'cold turkey'. Also, they're still built on the same AOSP base, so who's to say they don't have the same bugs?
IMO, this is trying to draw analogies where there doesn't need to be any. I work in games myself, but this isn't particularly relevant.

A better comparison is Google Play versus F-Droid. Yup. The overwhelming majority of people get their utility apps from Google Play still. However, for anyone who cares to do so, there is F-Droid, Amazon, and plenty of others that offer more than just utility apps, including Epic Games app where countless folks download Fortnite, if you want to bring it back to video games and the success or misinformed lack thereof with third-party platforms.

With the likes of F-Droid, everything on it is free, mate. It is free as in beer and free as in freedom, it's FLOSS. Money doesn't enter the equation, but everything is possible to audit.

Like I told another user: If you care about these things, the only winning move is not to play. Ergo, it's there for anybody who cares to seek it out.

Let's bring it back to games again. Fortnite was removed from the App Store. You bet that Epic Games would have released their own Epic Games app just like on Android to get iOS users playing Fortnite again. If you don't think that it would have been a huge success just like on Android then I can only laugh. So many young folks switched from iOS to Android to keep playing Fortnite.

I am so disappointed to hear that. The Pixel 3 was the best phone ever made as far as I'm concerned, and the 5 is not too shabby. Now I'm worried I'll have to look for another non-Samsung phone line when this phone needs to be replaced.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but aren't non-profit organizations obligated to have much of this public? Because if they aren't, then the non-profit organization is incredibly ripe for fraud and I wonder how many have already chosen the NPO structure for ill intents.

The line, in some ways, is thin between a non-profit and a for-profit organization, when executives e.g. Mitchell Baker of Mozilla foundation, can command such large salaries and irresponsible spending. If abuse is as rife in non-profit structured organizations as it appears, IRS had better burnish its hammer and commit to resolutory action.
Oh wow, when you said old, you really meant it lol. Haven't heard of the Nukes in decades now.

Honestly, I hate to say this, but if you really want that level of server-side all in one power... maybe Drupal IS worth considering after all. Most modern sites aren't built that way anymore, instead opting to compose a site out of many services (eg a CMS for marketing pages, Discourse for a forum, an auth provider linking them all together, etc.)

A monolithic community on a single engine is in fact the kind of (rare) use case that Drupal actually fits... making its complexity possibly worthwhile. It's just overkill for most sites that aren't like that.

WordPress might also be able to get there eventually, with a lot of plug-ins, but at that point it would be so bloated that Drupal might actually be cleaner. Might also be worth checking to see if any of the older PHP CMSes (Joomla, etc.) are still being maintained.

Sorry, I haven't looked at this sort of use in years and wouldn't be able to provide more details than that :/
I agree with your concern. What’s the alternative? One idea…

> the people paying for a project want to know how long it will take, how much it will cost, and what the feature set is going to be.

Certainly … if they’re “doing it wrong”. :-)

Do VC know any of these things? The agile approach, YC, and the SAFE are predicated on these being unspecifiable to any signficant accuracy.

So a better approach may be to:

1. Change the money process from budgeting to investment.

2. Fund capable teams of dedicated fixed capacity, and you can nail budget to the penny.

3. Then, fund by mix of ROX/ROE/ROI* on prioritization of the backlog, and you’ll get out of the team what you chose to fund as the team capacity.

Done.

* Return on Experience (NPS etc.), Return on Equity, Return on Investment. And consider sharing something like “Implementing Beyond Budgeting” with the money people:

https://smile.amazon.com/Implementing-Beyond-Budgeting-Unloc...

** To maintain trust with the money people, engineering cannot employ unproductive teams. It may be the tradeoff for engineers from a terrible budget driven process is better job security, since their individual performance or abilities to output great features matters less to the corporation than the estimation/budgeting/CYA processes do. In the budgeting world, senior executives get rotated out faster than IT teams.
I don’t think 3D printers will ever get that ubiquitous. I think more likely modeling tooling will improve to the point that 3D prints can be done by 3rd parties for cheaper and higher quality than you can do yourself and those vendors can post the results to you. Sort of like PCB Way does with electronics.

I can imagine all sorts of things I’d like to design and make but unless I make it a full time job the amortized cost of the equipment will never make it worth while. I don’t think 3D printers will come down in price enough to change that.
You still, in 2022, can't use uBlock Origin on iOS. It is the only major platform which makes it impossible to use uBlock Origin.

Thank you for providing some supporting details. I'm fairly certain that my comment stands as is, with the one change being that as-of-now I have seen some of the threats that you were describing, some of which should have resulted in an immediate police report *and* an immediate suspension or permaban from Twitter.

As I said, justice means equal application of the law, and threats of violence and calls to violence are never OK, even when they are "on your side". It doesn't matter if you are calling for the killing of trans people, or the killing of people who are mean to trans people; calls for violence are wrong, and threats of violence are wrong. I hope that we can at least agree on this one thing.

And frankly, shame on Twitter if they did not take quick action on the posts that you linked to. And FWIW, the first post (an obvious threat) has had its account deleted, the second post was neither a threat nor a call to violence, the third post (an obvious call to violence) has been deleted, but the account remains (but is dormant), etc. So it appears that something _was_ done, but I know neither by whom it was done, nor when it was done.
I'm not against regulating the demand in principle, I'm against IMPOSING the regulation from PRIVATE parties, no matter if this very specific case is an experiment on volunteers.

We need to state the principle that ONLY public bodies can act on public, private parties can ASK, can eventually propose different tariffs to incentivize or disincentivize certain behaviors but MUST NOT have any control at all. The danger of founding a car who initially start to display ads, than make seeing them mandatory just to open the door, than get briked from remote is so high that any potential step in this direction must be nuked with an extraordinary excessive and fierce force.

Beside that: a general regulation even from public bodies is an issue sometimes because you need mechanisms to avoid it, for instance for medical reasons case-by-case (in this thermostat settings case), but if such mechanism do exists surely get abused. So in the end my idea is that if something is needed but scarce than can't be private at all. So for instance TLCs, energy grid, water etc can't be given to private company at all if they can't guarantee full services all the time with the sole exception of extraordinary events that can't last more then a very little time (like a flood, a storm etc vs "eh, there is a global crisis who might last years").

> Vigilante “justice” is problematic because it leaves room for people to harm others without proper evidences of wrong doing.

Isn’t this exactly what the people are KF were doing? Only instead of trying to get a website kicked off the internet, they were trying to get people fired from their jobs, weaponizing the police, trying to drive people to suicide. And not in the service of any sort of justice, but for entertainment. That is sick and it is evil.

They should absolutely be shunned and ostracized for their antisocial behavior. Free speech means that other people have the right to show you the door if you are acting like a jerk.

Agreed! I'd argue that the technology doesn't even matter, whether it's this or something like PrimeVue, ready-made component frameworks/libraries are a godsend when you need to get something out the door in a reasonable amount of time!

I'm not arguing your point, using the concept of a "Dog Whistle" might be bad style of arguing. By virtue that its not possible to exonerate yourself from it.
Hmm, not really, I was more giving the GP the benefit of the doubt that they have some, so maybe they'll chime in. I think they were focusing on the fact that idempotent systems often need to interact with other systems that are not idempotent, but then the act of dealing with those systems, the surface area, can often be made idempotent. To raise the stakes very high, I picture software operating a military robot, where it is quite important that it fire its gun only the specific number of times it is cleared to by external logic. Instead of attempting to guarantee that the robot is sent a 'fire gun' message only the requisite number of times, the system should focus on putting the robot into a 'fire gun' state, the messages of which that sent the robot into that state can be made idempotent...

I certainly support your toying, because I think a lot of impedance to idempotency is the lack of easy patterns to achieving it.
Mine can do voltage reductions. But of course that's only good for resistive loads.

> This kind of work does not lend itself well to TDD.

I couldn't disagree more. Indeed, it's precisely because framework and library black box behavior and upgrades tend to introduce random unforeseeable bugs that TDD is essential.

It's super important to take some known inputs, and after a series of framework/library operations, to check that the outputs are what they're supposed to be, for normal operation and for all the wacko edge cases (zero-length strings, etc.).

Severely underestimating deep pockets, determination and short term memory in the rest of us.
Following this rule strictly can be tricky.

uint16_t x = (...);
uint16_t y = x << 15;

Any arithmetic involving uint16_t will be promoted to some kind of int. If int is 16 bits wide, then uint16_t will be promoted to unsigned int before the shift, and all values of x are safe. Otherwise int is at least 17 bits wide, then uint16_t will be promoted to signed int before the shift.

On a weird but legal platform where int is 24 bits wide, the expression (uint16_t)0xFFFF << 15 will cause undefined behavior.

My workaround for this is to force promotion to unsigned int: (0U + x) << 15. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39964651/is-masking-befo...
