There's a couple of solutions to this:

1) Find an employer who doesn't pay by the hour (but e.g. per day or task/goal)

2) Find an employer who isn't strict on the hours.

3) Self employment.

4) Find or convince an employer who accepts this.

None are ideal, except for #4, but its the long breath.

And I am thoroughly convinced it works. Same with workout, mindfulness. Such behavior should be rewarded. My employer supports workout in the sense I get 1 hour per week paid leave for working out.
> Calling it 'Going down the rabbit hole' is no doubt better

It may be more recognisable, but I wouldn’t say it’s better. The metaphor of going down the rabbit hole has you go deeper into the same subject while yak shaving has you go into increasingly tangential tasks to the point an external observer wouldn’t recognise your primary goal.

In other words: the longer you spend going into the rabbit hole, the more you familiarise yourself with the matter; but the longer you spend yak shaving, the farther away you are from finishing the original task. Yak shaving is antithetical to going down the rabbit hole.
Maybe, maybe not, but they certainly wouldn’t have included as many widespread, well known vulnerabilities with exploits already in the wild. And even if the imported code was perfect at the time it was imported, pulling in changes automatically is still an attack vector that you could drive a fleet of buses through.

Note that I’m not saying “never use libraries”, which your points seem mainly aimed at. Code reuse is great! I’m just not sold on automatic, unmonitored updates to libraries.

Infrastructure as Code on AWS – An Introduction
I assume that wherever you are has the cut off that determines in which school year a kid is sorted is on January 1st (which is not a universal truth), and your point is that she's also older than her class mates?
Not OP, but it's pretty obvious. At $1-$2 (US) per cubic foot, 4-8 packages per cu. ft. is 20¢ apiece. A shipping container is about 2400 cu. ft., more for hi-cubes.
Wasn't it released in mid '96?
I've done both. Bootstrapped a business to >$10m and (now) running a VC-backed firm. The models are different because the markets the two companies operate in are different. I see VC money as getting steroids in a competitive sport (not speaking from experience on that one...): it will save time, it will probably affect your health, but if you are indeed competing in sport, and other competitors are doing it, you don't have much choice.

So, I would advise you to look around you: what is your market? is it that highly competitive? can you still be in that market without competing (e.g. a highly fragmented market)? do you want to compete and can you avoid it?

Also keep this in mind: a VC-firm is meant to exit, if not immediately, then eventually. But, a bootstrapped firm also has to exit at some point too: you'll either have to sell it (maybe at a loss), shut it down, or pass it down (death comes for us all). Are you willing to do any of these? that's part of the answer to "do you want to compete?" above...

On the contrary, it will be more efficient overall because you skip the transporting/distributing that hydrogen to a destination. Assume that you can deliver e-fuels over existing pipelines.
The docs in the Elixir REPL are such a pleasure to use. Tab completing a function will show a list of possible matches, and then you can type `h function_name` to see the doc for that function.

It's incredibly useful, partially because the standard library is well organized. For example, maybe you need some string manipulation function, but you're not sure what it's called. You'd type `h String.` and then hit tab. Now all the functions of that module are listed. Ah, String.graphemes looks promising - so you finish your line `h String.Graphemes` and skim the doc. Now, to make sure you understand, you might type `String.graphemes("foo")` and then see the result is what you want.

I almost never have to Google for an answer when writing Elixir (at least for simple stuff) because the REPL is so robust as a doc lookup tool.

My only wish is that the vscode extension had some features around sending buffer code to the REPL like SLIME or other Lispy editor plugins. You can reload code, but it's a little more manual than I'd like.
You can get a secondhand iPhone 7 for much less, and I’d (genuinely) wonder if the newness, missing features (or difference in their quality) are really worth the extra $850?

Point 2 is very important. Do you even need more capital? What would you do with it if you had it? If you are sat there frustrated that your product could be a game changer with just a few million dollars more capital then VC's are worth considering. If you don't need the capital then why share equity!

> In Spain, 70% of the vehicles stays on the street overnight[1], that means a charger every roughly 10 meters. Imagine the amount of copper necessary to cover that.

Imagine how much copper would be needed to supply electricity to every house!

If Spain happens to already have a system that supplies electricity to every house in place, then the amount of copper needed to string some up to the road would cost less that the price delta between petrol and electricity in most places after a single month of electric vehicle use. I know because I've strung copper from my home to my parking space, three phase, and I did it for financial reasons.

I love the reasons that people invent to try to oppose electric vehicles. Think of the copper!
In my country many many schools switch to tablet based math lessons that adjust based on the students level.
My first impressions are favourable. There are contraints though, as the design guide acknowledges:

> WikiHouse is intended for buildings of up to 3 storeys. This covers 95% of all buildings, and allows gentle density neighbourhoods of up to around 75 dwellings per hectare.

> The main constraint on height is not gravity, but wind. In high winds, lightweight structures are more prone to slight lateral flexing, which is not allowed within most building codes. Further structural research and testing is ongoing.
If you built the foundation of the extension, I don't see why B&M stores wouldn't work with you to enable this. Seems like a huge win for them.
Who's Moving to and Scaling from Ireland Since Brexit Vote?
Huh, that's interesting! I had a 2019 MBP with only 16gb of RAM - an amount I've been comfortable with on other computers prior to that - and it was UNUSABLE. Just MISERABLY slow. Upgraded to Apple Silicon with the same amount of RAM and it feels unstoppable, just always running at 150% of expected speed.

(I would have gotten more RAM in the 2019 laptop, but it was during that brief window where new laptop shipping times were measured in months, and I was happy to have ANY work laptop and not have to be using my old personal one, an old Air.)

Weird Al's song released in 1999 [1]. I don't think it was possible to buy a desktop/workstation/server machine in 1999 with 100gb of addressable RAM. So the lyric is absurd (possibly intentionally so).

The first 64 bit Pentium system went to market in 2004. With 32 bit systems the maximum memory addressable per process is 4gb; this could be stretched to 64gb with PAE [2]. It might have been possible to get a 64gb RAM pentium-based server in 1999. But 100GB is simply impossible.

There were 64 bit processors from other families available in 1999. DEC, SGI, and Sun all had workstations using 64 bit processors. The earliest I can find supporting 128gb of RAM though is the SGI Origin 3800, shipping in 2001. [3]

I'll be more clear - doctors have almost no extra or unnecessary training during their residencies. It's all very specialty-driven, or at the very least is specialty-specific public service (e.g. low-income clinics). If anything, the doctors I've spoken to said they should all probably be a year or two longer across the board if only to allow for better work-life balance, but none of them would want to have to go through that obviously.

The closest thing to "extra training" they get is fellowship-related rotations, but even this is all things they'll see in practice so they need to know how to handle it initially, if for no other reason than so they know when to offload it to a specialist.

> They are often done by age 24, and ready to help.

I'm sure this is fine for whatever the equivalent is to an urgent care doctor in the UK (bottom of the barrel family med in the US, probably not board certified - e.g. failed the exam or not qualified to take it - or doing transitional residency because they didn't match anywhere), but I'm not really interested in my orthopedic surgeon or neurologist just getting through their training as quickly as possible.

There are lots of ways the US could increase the pool of doctors, and most doctors are probably paid way too much (paradoxically, probably most egregiously at the low end of skill), but "cut out a bunch of training" is a dumb way to do it.

“Rudd came out to bat for the company’s effort to distance itself from Lynch, lamenting that a largely female leadership team was being starved of the spotlight because “the only name that seems to get mentioned is the founder”.

You don't need to chace ever higher profits. Staying small and enjoying your life is also an option.
Either path can be right for different people. And the wrong decision can be horrible.

You can always take VC later, but you can’t un-take it. So you should be pretty sure that you want to spend the next 10 years of your life shooting for a billion dollar company. Otherwise, stay the course.

Taking seed funding (such as from YC) is not as big a risk as VC funding. Seed-funded companies often don’t go on to take VC, and while seed funders will encourage you to go for the big time, they won’t have the board fire you from your own company like a VC would if they think you’re under-delivering.

One interesting thing I've noticed after moving from Poland to Germany is that while both languages have two politeness levels (du/Sie and ty/pan respectively), the rules governing their use are vastly different. It seems that the German system is mostly age-based (most of the time you only address people older than you formally), while the Polish one is relationship and familiarity-based (you address people you don't know and people you've met in certain circumstances formally). It's common to see Polish people who've met each other at a larger stage of life keeping using formal pronouns in casual conversations. However, in written communication, Germans default to the formal way; Poles write announcements, letters etc. with casual pronouns. An instruction manual written in first person formal instead of infinitives tells me that this instruction has been translated in Germany :)

Nope. Opus and Vorbis are better, but they still don't support 100% gapless playback.

E.g. create a full-scale sine wave, split it into two files, then convert them to "gapless" Opus. Now open the files in Audacity and you'll see that there's a small amount of ringing at the boundary, so it is not truly gapless.

If you try the same with AAC using Apple's gapless metadata (i.e. iTunSMPB) you'll find that the boundary is perfectly continuous.

I don't find the language primitive at all. It just has a poor deployment story that consists of "autogenerate to hidious unreadable c c++ cuda or vhdl, or writ it again yourself". It is amazing the autogen even works, which it really does, but that code...

But back to the language. I can typically do a line by line syntax change to get pytorch (julia is a but different but not too much). The resulting matlab sometimes runs faster too. If you avoid globals and write everything vectorized it is all really clean. OO code would be hidious, but I try not to use OO or goto in any language unless there is no other option. I like that arguments to a function are pass by reference unless you write to them, in which case it does a smart copy. Julia syntax looks different sometimes because you don't have to vectorize for performance as in matlab or python, in fact sometimes you shouldn't.

All in all, if the deployment story was solved, I probably wouldn't be trying out Julia. In fact I still prototype in Matlab before implementation in pytorch or julia, its just eaier to get that first thing working.

Perhaps because the (energy, work) cost of digging heat pumps for every home is too high for us to afford?

How much energy is necessary to create a heat pump and how long does it take for it to pay off?

Energy crisis and climate change are happening now, the solution needs to be deployed at massive scale to replace hundreds of gigawats of generation capacity across the continent. This takes decades.

That definitely sounds like cause for concern! You seem to have spent some time on this, can you share an example?
Basically you have a model of your program, but the model breaks down, so you need to check that what you hold true is actually true.

Another approach is to use tools (system stats, logging, debuggers like
rr/pernosco, etc).

Learn as much as you can about the system and tools you're using.

Reduce the size of the problem (reduce code, isolate, etc).

Read the code, and try to break it. Build scenarios 'this thing I see in the log can only happen if...'

Finally, there's no shame in rubber ducking a problem with a colleague!
You want someone with skin in the game. A partner also helps in bouncing off ideas, figuring out a grander strategy, and in general, being support you can rely on.
