Construction has to be something like one the most common and universal of human occupations, you can surely find heaps of documentation.

That being said, the actual techniques used tend to be localized and adapted to specific local conditions, available materials, geography and climate, labor cost etc. There isn't one standard way of going about it, you always learn the local Community of practice [1].

If you are looking to build the stereotypical noth-american stick frame house, the work of Larry Haun comes to mind [2]. The other major tradition is the European brick/concrete/AAC house, again, extensively documented; but you would start with a well engineered project designed by a professional, since failures tend to be sudden and catastrophic.

As for "repairs" the number of trades is almost endless, from the core like roofing, drywalling & paint, plumbing, gas & HVAC, electrical - which today includes house automation and data - concrete work, landscaping etc. to the uncommon like specialist thermal & insect treatment, stonework, chimneys etc.

Each trade has its own community language used by tradesmen in a certain geography, so you need to sink at least some hours to watch Youtube videos etc. pertaining to your specific problem. The number, complexity and local specificity of these trades is so vast that's inconceivable to learn them in bulk, you would always deal with the problem at hand, and if you continue this for a suficient number of years you become knowledgeable in the construction field.

Hi! What a fantastic post, a good day to you too.

I recently found out my bone density isn’t great. Never broke a bone in my life but the doctor advises to start an activity that impacts bones.

I’m not a sports person but last Thursday I went to a boulder gym. I was already coming up with excuses not to go, but decided to hop in the car and just do it, which felt like quite the power move.

I’ve never been “in shape” so it was though. But it was also challenging and it felt great to finish a route. It felt like something I could grow passionate about.

I’m telling as many people as possible in an effort to create some pressure to keep it up, do the work, exercise, and to get better at it.

Hoping in a few years my bone density has increased just a little bit.
FTL is great, even if it becomes somewhat easy to beat once you figure out the best strategies for every set of weapons/devices the game is throwing your way. If you manage to get past Sector 1, you are almost sure to win.
An easier analogy is the ad industry term « inventory ». When you want to commit to buying very large quantities of inventory you might want more guarantees, discounts and other specific terms that wouldn’t be feasible or reasonable in small quantities. It happens for goods, and it’s roughly the same B2B negotiations for ad space.
That’s also why most big advertisers never pay the actual rate card price of an ad slot. In TV or print, I’ve seen many discounts of over 50% on the official price for large ad buy commitments.
Cool project! Greetings from Belgium.
Writing an album.

I had bands in high school and college. Made records, toured a bit. Worked as a recording engineer. I got into software development after I started having kids.

But now that they are older, and I’m no longer studying like crazy to push my career, there’s a bit more space for making music.

But this time, I plan on marketing it. I’ve been studying email/digital marketing, and I’m excited to actually try to sell some albums.
The article makes it clear that there's a login button which lets you login with an OTP over SMS. So if your phone is stolen or your SIM has been cloned, a crook could get into your PayPal account.
I mean, there are things where we can avoid additional actions, for example:
We can enter text and a new structure block will be autocreated, no need to click "add block" button before.
We can cut whole block by Ctrl+X, without select text before.

Sure, more complex functions will require buttons or something.
Definitely not decentralized, also don't tweet anything NSFW because Github will ban your account without hesitation, removing all issues you created, even for projects you don't own. Source: happened to me because I had an "NSFW" Github page that displayed randomly generated Imgur pictures.

I can say fore sure that there were verified fake Elon Musks before the rollout.

For example

https://twitter.com/iamsimonyoung?s=21&t=bk20O5m6wZsdz0lQ9AT...

was posting as Elon Musk at least until 20221102. There was at least one other Elon Musk that was regularly spilled into my timeline, sometimes right before or after the real Elon. These accounts had also the same profile picture. It took me a while to realize that some of these posts are satire. Pretty much the scenario the blue checkmark was supposed to prevent.
Not totally unique in that respect, the situation doesn't seem too dissimilar from the one that led shutterstock to launch their contributor fund.
Respect. This must have been a pain to implement. (I still have PTSD from writing a text editor for macOS).
In commie times or early 90s in eastern Europe people (or at least my friend) used to have at home extremely simple device soda charger adapter with two PET bottle connectors on top and bottom, where on each end you could screw 1.5-2L PET bottle, I think one filled with syrup water, other empty, in the middle on side you screw small soda charger bomb (see link, think size you could put in small air gun, one small bomb cost around 13 cents nowadays, reasonable even for one time use 2L) and then you just release valve and I think you had to flip over bottles few times. It was incredibly simple and I'm amazed by pricey SodaStream popularity (even over soda siphon/seltzer bottle). Shame I can't find this adapter on mobile, so now think it had to be home made device which was very compact, no pipes required, everything within small adapter which fit between two bottles with bomb on side.

Funny because none of those are really alternatives though - the screw terminals are a PCB mounted device and the comparisons were all wire to wire.

And in the final analysis of that video they measured out to 22 mohm so they note they’re fine for low current work.

Screw terminals don’t suck - they have their applications and they’re economical.
I’m loving raising my new kid. Funny enough, one of her favorite books right now is Hello Hello by a Brenden Wenzel. I love the way she’ll carry it over to me and crawl into my lap, waiting for me to begin, turning each page for me, how she says hi to the animals in its pages. I don’t care how many times she wants to repeat it, watching her learn and enjoy reading is absolutely delightful. I feel like I’m giving her a superpower by teaching her to enjoy reading. I’ll also read literature or magazine articles aloud to her, and it’s amazing how talkative she’ll become for the next little while, stringing together sentences of babble.

Personally, one of my life goals is to read a book by an author from each country. It’s a little fuzzy since countries have come and gone through history, then there are territories, autonomous regions etc, and maybe not a huge selection of books from each that have been translated into English. I just want to gain a worldwide perspective. One I’ve been slowly chipping away at and had put down for a while but recently became very relevant again is Reading Lolita in Tehran: a Memoir in Books by Azar Nafisi. Also recently finished the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy by Cixin Liu, The Every by Dave Eggers (not really part of the goal, I just like his work, I‘d recommend that and it’s prequel, The Circle, to this crowd) and am saving the 6th and final volume of Knausgård’s Min Kamp for the long arctic winter ahead.
Good morning, I used the first hours of the day to paddle, listening to the Republic I and II books by Plato. I started to study philosophy at university at the beginning of the year, and jumped right into it. One of the advantages is the immense literature and works existing in the area. I have to write an essay about the relation between Socrates' death and philosophy and politics, and although I never liked to write, I have been doing it in a very good way. In the afternoon I will start programming in closure again, because I have a small weather analysis service that I run in closure and clojure and clojure script that I use as a playground (clojure in production , clojure script, visualization, k8s and etc)

This is going to be TMI but: I don’t mind getting surgeries because it gives me at least one night of good sleep afterwards, and I sleep very poorly.

I don’t drink or do recreational drugs so the 15 seconds of being high before the surgery is always intriguing to me.

Now the beginning part where they go north up the southbound lane with a scope, well, that’s not welcome at all.
Not really. Good locks are not vulnerable to a kid that followed a YouTube tutorial. Better locks come with a rating that’s supposed to estimate how much time will a properly equipped professional need to open them. It’s typically single digit minutes.

It’s just that every other break-in method is easier.
Stack comes with built-in Nix integration: https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/v2.9.1/nix_integration/

By default this will mean that Stack will use Nix to download non-Haskell dependencies. E.g. GHC and external C libraries will be downloaded by Nix.

This allows you to pin all dependencies that you have, including the compiler and external libraries (make sure to pin a specific version of nixpkgs though). And it will give developers a reproducible build environment.

It is also possible to take this Nix integration even further and make Stack download all Haskell dependencies from Nix as well. However, this requires to write a custom `stack-shell.nix` file, so I would only recommend this for people who are already familiar with Nix.
This file must then be configured in `stack.yml`

Example `stack.yml`:

# Using a `ghc-*` resolver means that stack won't try to download and build any packages itself,
# instead it will only use the packages that are shipped with the compiler.
# In `./nix/stack-shell.nix`, we ensure that the compiler indeed ships all the packages we
# need.
resolver: ghc-9.0

packages:
- "."

# This makes stack pick up our nix environment for building by default.
nix:
enable: true
shell-file: nix/stack-shell.nix
path: ["nixpkgs=./nix/nixpkgs-pinned.nix"]
Also it's been only a few days since the layoffs. If you laid off half the doctors/residents in a busy hospital, patients may not start dropping like flies right away. That doesn't mean the hospital is able to function effectively. It takes time for technical issues to develop and trigger problems in the rest of the system.
First off, I'd like to share that writing a diary is amazing for collecting thoughts. There are so many brilliant ideas that flow about but never get written down unless you have easy way to save them. This is what makes me excited now.

Since I strted, I also started collecting game design thoughts. Now I'm messing around with voxels, with the goal to create a sandbox in which you can reshape procedurally generated towns (including via explosive means).
Older lenses have depth of field scales on them. I use those and the camera becomes almost a point and shoot.
Oh, so there is a separate CO2 container. I didn’t know it worked that way.
I wish you many happy layoffs.

I had a serious (buckets) leak when raining and wind was an Easterly. Put off doing anything for years, because I lacked money to pay someone. Anyway, I finally just cut a hole in the gib/drywall when the leak was happening the other day and luckily found the problem that way.

I guess I am saying, give it a go if you can, or alternatively try and do part of the work yourself. Watch some YouTube videos, or ask the advice of friends. In my case I have purchased and put up a cheap scaffolding tower (avoiding one big part of the expense of paying someone else), and I am getting an acquaintance to actually fix the problem.
Raising kids are awesome. I had such fun doing that, while they were little. One great habit to develop is to read books with them. Me and my wife did it daily until they were 11, we read to them, then later we used to read with them (we read one page, they some paragraphs).. was such great moments, daily after a long day to lay in bed with them and read, read, read... Thanks that both kids are great students and have seldom a mobile in their hand, but books :)

> I noticed the height of quite a few buildings in Ft Worth, Texas is also wrong.

They render buildings that are missing `height` or `building:levels` data in OSM with 3 levels by default. So you could add this data to OSM to make it render.
I feel bad, because I was waiting on this response. It’s an ok lock which I have picked a lot of. Don’t rely on it to stop anyone with access to YouTube.

Edit: the Schlage connect is in this same category; widely recommended, highly certified, easy to pick. Locks are theater.
Looking forward to trying it out when you’re ready to share it.
I want a computational theory of life. I don’t know what it will look like, but I think we have everything we need to find it. I’m fully convinced that the process that leads to diverse, complex organisms is transparent and that we are finally reaching the sufficient context to notice it.
Hey, this post made me remember a feeling that I had long forgotten. Thank you.

I write short stories in Turkish. I wanted to become a skilled writer ever since I can remember. So I started to keep a dairy. I have been writing since -give or take- two years, nearly every day. I also post some short stories of mine, when I have some.

Best part of it is when go back in time and actually like some of things you have written a long time ago. It is common for me to dislike my own writing so that rare feeling gives me a lot of strength to continue.

Hope this gives some of you out there some inspiration and I appreciate any advice/ideas you might have!
Reading and drawing out the structure as you read. Boxes with arrows or whatever.

A good source structure tool will save some time but you’re not getting away without doing your own reading anyway.
Very nice, I always love your tools! My phone can barely produce 55 Hz output, maybe a slider for changing the fundamental frequency would be interesting?

Also, I think the email sign-up at the end is not working properly: I entered my email address then pressed Enter (or "SUBSCRIBE!"?). I was then redirected to mail chimp with a red error message saying something like "too many sign-ups from this address" or similar, with the address mentioned being blank.

Exactly, the lords stay lords, the peasants stay peasants and for most of us nothing changes. For the lords it'll get more complicated though because the tag system will signify a transition from a two-class society to a multi-kaste system.

It's hard. Normally I start with a word that I know is fairly unique to the domain I'm looking for (in your case maybe "cssselector"). And what you are looking for is in the Blink third party folder.
> LoC is a very important measure of a language, not flexibility.

That is a completely false dichotomy. You can provide terseness for the common case while allowing flexibility for when that’s warranted.

You can even artificially increase verbosity as disincentive for constructs which are necessary but should be avoided.

For me Twitter is mainly a substitute to RSS: a central location to consume interesting content from diverse sources. In that role having an algorithmically curated as opposed to a strictly chronological feed is essential. For most people/entities I follow I'm interested in only a fraction of their tweets and I can rely on Twitter to do a good enough job of surfacing them for me. By following about a thousand accounts I can reliably hear about the latest trends in the areas that interest me by spending about half an hour each day.

On the other hand, right now I follow only a few dozen accounts on Mastodon and I'm already drowning in irrelevant posts. It can at best be a glorified group chat.
Crank up your distortion and try to move the spot where you pick - for any position of the left hand there will be couple spots where they'll be easiest to make.

What would you consider quality software engineering management?
I've been in the software engineering industry for 20 years now, big chunk of which I was managing medium sized teams.

Recently I started understanding that I've rarely witnessed what I could consider quality software engineering management.

What properties such management would have?
1) regular one-on-ones,
2) zero tolerance policy for gossip, corporate politics and toxic behavior,
3) test driven development, continuous build etc.
4) giving positive feedback publicly, negative feedback privately,
5) promoting people for their real results

I'm eager to hear what would you consider quality software engineering management? What properties or checkpoints should it have?
Schlage B60N is still better than the $330 Level lock, a budget that could be better spent on Assa Abloy, Bilock, Evva, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, etc.
Oh I misunderstood. It does use oauth, but still feels like it would need at least a link to something to build trust that it is what it says it is before I give it write access to my account
How did you learn the shape of the code and techniques that you recognized? By looking at other code? Are you violating copyright when you are writing similar code yourself?
Discord’s architecture is easily shard-able by channel, though. There’s no shared “multi-channel” experience like workspaces in Slack. Sure, users can message each other directly which could cause some complexities but the volume of DMs is likely a fraction of the channel message volume.
Twitter is a mess when you try to think on how to break apart the architecture across various users, regions, celebrity accounts, trending topics, etc. Back in the day they used to allocate servers just for specific celebrities just to give an idea on how they were trying to scale.
Hah, those were the days. I remember using finger in the late 90s/early 00s to figure out whether people were at the computer club before I walked across campus for lunch :)
Are there Companies threatening to pull Ads from Twitter? Yes, but just like with Facebook, they did eventually came back. Assuming Twitter still has most of its users.

So yes I agree I am not entirely sure why everyone seems to be jumping to conclusion. Just like everyone ( or People on the internet ) thought consumers were abandoning Facebook in 2015, 2016 or 2019.
This config file is likely mounted in container, possibly different on different environemnts - ie. not "embedded", not "known at compile time".
About the space shuttle o-ring disaster: what I feel being left out of the story is how often did previous warnings come up which turned out to be false?

The story as it is often told is that an engineer raised issue X, management dismissed it, issue X caused multiple deaths.

And when told like that it is obvious that management should not have ignored X. But what were the managements’ experience with warnings like that before?

Obviously they should have evaluated every warning on their merrits, but if the organisation was “crying wolf” all the time, one can imagine that can influence the decision making.

Thanks for that, but what is it?
As a deeply technical person, I am trying to figure out business development.

I have come to a stage in my career where I am more valuable in finding projects for my team, than in delivering projects myself.

So as somewhat of a prerequisite, I need to learn about personal / team branding, relationship building, marketing, and consulting sales.

While this is definitely out of my comfort zone, and I'm still figuring out how to actually be competent at this, I believe it will be a valuable skill to one day start my own company.

PS: If anyone has good resources, do share !
Very late reply so you might not see it. Modern systems use coherent (phase&amplitude and polarisation, typically QAM formats), together with relatively high overhead (~20%) FEC. The consequence is that for demonstration experiments you do offline processing, which significantly constrains how many bits you can measure (good experiments measure a few million per measurement point). So what people do is measure to the FEC threshold (10e-2) and assume the FEC works (usually a valid assumption). Sometimes people implement the FEC and show error free operation to 10e-6 or so. Also we use Generalized Mutual Information as a more accurate measure of the information content (it essentially measures how much information can be transmitted given a bitwise coding FEC).

In other experiments people show FEC implementations running on banks of FPGAs to show that we actually get down to BER 10e-12, but these take weeks on large number of high end FPGAs.
must be, you are posting the same message since a few years.
That's rather dismissive. I use Go. I like it a lot, its a really practical language that helps me get a lot of stuff done. That's pretty much gold standard for programming languages to me. But it is clear that Go is stupidly wordy when dealing with errors and examining ways to fix that should be something we're open to.
FWIW I don't like the original proposal nor the article's solution to it
