Git for windows makes a huge deal in its installer about how the default is unchanged for compatibility and how you should pick nano or vsc instead

AFAICT one of the main difficulties with heat pumps is that they want to use low temperature heat emitters, similar to condensing boilers. This is a general thermodynamic rule, but hits sources aiming for high efficiency extra hard, since they've been designed around exploiting it.

So you can't just take a decades old system with oil/gas using finned radiators, just replace the boiler, and have it supply enough heat on the coldest day ("design day"). Rather you'd at least need to add some additional emitters, greatly increasing the scope of the project for a professional installer.

What I haven't been able to find an answer to is that everybody says hydronic heat pumps need low delta T of 5-10 degree F (implying high flow rate for given heat transfer). But I would think the real constraint would be just on their leaving water temperature, and a heat pump (load side) that took in 100F and put out 120F (at say 5GPM) would be happier and more efficient than one that took in 110F and put out 120F (at 10GPM). But I've yet to find anything that confirms this.
East of Eden was one of like 3 Steinbeck books I havent read. I finally got around to it this summer and it’s probably one of my favorite books now.
I say this as someone that has failed a bunch of time to quit smoking. Every time I smoke, I rationally know it's doing nothing for me, but can't help myself. It's not that good IMO. Not as clear a trade-off as alcohol. I think it's mostly a romantic image I have in my head.
Yes, or a very strong base.
> Junk science is a huge problem in law enforcement. Treating lie detectors as canonical, the blood splatter analysis to recreate crime scenes, this kind of stuff.

I'm not sure what's the bigger problem. The use of junk science by law enforcement or how law enforcement and their methods are portrayed by popular media that ensure the use of junk science (and other harmful methods) can persist long-term. I'm sure everybody and their mother has seen Dexter (who works as a blood splatter analyst) or any number of shows/movies or all the news where police dogs are portrayed in an incredibly positive light (I'm looking at you, Paw Patrol).

What doesn’t work like nano? Arrow keys work, backspace deletes, it’s like a GUI text field.

Saving a file is a bit weird but it’s nothing compared to every emacs command being an unlabeled fighting game combo.
Beginners don't care about deleting a line, you can press DEL 80 times and get it done. They care about quickly typing something in or changing a config, saving and quitting. Easy to instruct with Nano without having to introduce the concept of mode editing, which is totally foreign to most beginners.
Or, who really cares how people pronounce it? It's very unlikely for there to be many scenarios where someone was trying to find this, but couldn't, just because they heard someone say it wrong. Most people will find it through textual means. I don't get the obsession with projects specifying the pronunciation in the README. If anything it just means you failed at naming your project.

No, "publicity stunt" sounds more accurate.
My recent experience lines up with the article's stated average of three months. But I would hardly call that "quick". I did close to 50 interviews, and some companies' processes took nearly a month, only to lead to a rejection without feedback.
NIST apparently does some work in the field, although they don’t have oversight authority. They recently discovered that bite mark analysis is worthless: https://www.nist.gov/spo/forensic-science-program/bitemark-a...
I’m pretty sure this was written in order to invoke provisions of the relevant (unionized) employees’ collective bargaining agreement.

When I first read it, I was shocked at the tone and outraged on behalf of the employees, but upon re-reading, I’m pretty sure this is Southwest trying to address staffing needs within the confines of its agreements with the union representing Denver ramp workers.

I’m all for maintaining a healthy balance between labor and capital (and indeed, think that balance is pretty far out of whack in favor of capital in the United States), but my read of this situation is that management was invoking previously negotiated procedures to require unionized employees to comply with with abnormal working requirements during a state of operational emergency. These employees would have been worse off if Southwest hadn’t had union-negotiated procedures they had to follow before having the right to impose adverse employment consequences that all at-will employees are subject to.

Also, to be clear: I’m not absolving management for the obvious operational failures. From what I see at this point, this situation sure seems likely to warrant executive accountability and regulatory inquiries.

And finally, I feel very badly for everyone - travelers and employees - who had a shitty holiday season due to this incredible SNAFU.
I use a sewing needle.

I do like the suggestions of plastic or wood; that's probably a better idea as the material is softer. My spudger doesn't fit a USB port, sadly. IDK if a toothpick would, I'd never thought of that.

I try to be mindful of the actual connector's pads when I clean, so as to not scrape them.

> Aren’t we calling it climate change now?

Overall temperatures are warming but it's hard to call it "global warming" when there are tens of dead in the US due to a winter so harsh it's going to break records and when it's believed that the entirety of Europe may become much colder should the gulf stream stop (which some believe would be a consequence of warming).

In the grand scheme of things planet earth ain't dodging another ice age.

So there's that too.

If you want to rally more people to the cause I think it'd be wise to call it "man induced climate change" or something like that. Not just "global warming".

"Global warming" is unlikely to gain much traction when people are literally freezing to death in advanced economies.
Is geothermal any quieter? I was assuming the ground loop pump would be quieter than the air-to-air fan.
I think different social media can trigger depression in different ways.

TikTok/Instagram is full of people posting a glossy, edited lifestyle that makes your life feel bad by comparison.

Facebook/Twitter filled with more miserable people being miserable about one thing or another (politics/culture wars/news/etc) and allows you to spiral in misery.

I don't really have a solution. I'm just making an observation.

But as long as there is tech that connects people, you will see these effects. Regulation, moderation, etc are just nerfing the tech itself.

A perspective shift I try to apply to myself is to view these things are tools, rather than a part of my identity that I am strongly tied to. I've got a power drill, but I don't check it everyday.
This answer is not the most logical, nor the most straightforward. Occam's Razor man
My 2 cents: Find your local "design heating temperature" and then determine your tolerance for the house falling a few degrees below the setpoint during the 1% of hours that the outside temperature will be below that. Most people would be fine if their house fell to 67°F or 68°F for a few hours, especially since some of those hours are bound to be at night (where other people are setting their stats back to those levels anyway and you might well be asleep and never notice).

If you have no other gas appliances and generally reliable electric supply, I'd be inclined towards going with electric backup. That avoids the $10-15/month gas meter charge, which pays for a fair amount of the more costly electric heat. If you have other gas appliances and cheap [at least for now] natural gas supply, going with a natural gas backup allows you to use the cheaper source of heat for both backup and/or in case electricity rates go up substantially versus gas.

CO risk is minimal and you should have a line-powered CO meter in the mechanical room and some CO meter on each level of the house anyway.
The bottom two charts don’t seem to reconcile.

10-11cm on the bottom euro chart is AA. 10-11cm is about 4 inches. 4 inches is a D cup on the US/UK chart above it.

I don’t know much about bra sizes across different regions, but this seems off. Am I missing something?

I'm honestly skeptical that's a common thing however. I've certainly never encountered such a thing and, while I've seen a few cases such as yours mentioned online, it's not something I've ever heard from anyone I know.

I have backups, thank you. My kdbx is in my Nextcloud, synchronised across my 4 PCs and Mac and my phone. So I have 6 copies (one on Nextcloud, and one on each device) at any time. Then I have backups on secondary storage (like external drives).

I only have very low end flash drives (like the free ones you get at trade shows) fail on me. None of the decent ones I've bought (Kingston, generally) ever failed. I still have my various 4G, 8G, 16G, 32G drives I've bought along the years, all still work fine.

The only one that failed were used continuously plugged, or to write a lot (like recording audio), and very low-end with that.

I have a few of these in my city and I can happily say they’re widely used. Almost every time I have walked by one, someone is either withdrawing or depositing a book. Or both! It’s a really cool idea and I hope we can see more of them.

It’s not often a lot of things like this actually go used.
>why can't we all agree on how we edit text

We haven't agreed on a script, keyboard, etc.
Given that I don't expect us to agree on how to edit text.
What are we going with to base this decision on for starters?
Popularity? Utility? something else?
I'm not sure by what measure it failed. I'm certain Valve wasn't trying to turn the Steam Controller into a household item. It was a reasonably popular niche product and as a dogfooding item it was a wild success for the development of Steam input, which is a core reason why the Steam Deck works at all.
Typewriters don't have substitution. The immediate visual feedback when entering text in ed is that the keystrokes are echoed to the screen. This occurs regardless of whether you're writing commands or you're in insert mode, such as in this case:

Ed is indeed a good choice for a line editor. We're not talking about line editors, though, but about text editors. Ed is not useful for writing, because it does not have the immediate visual feedback when entering text that even mechanical typewriters have. For that, you need a text editor, and between Vim and Nano, only one behaves like most Unix software developed in the past three decades.
Yeah that would solve it, but this particular project needs to have a free to try version that doesn't require signup :/
Maybe the gas is cheap, but the monthly and up-front connection costs mess with the economics.

And that cost will only go up as people cut the gas cord.

Depends on how your utility bills out it’s infrastructure: some charge minimal monthly connection fees, others a lot.

I honestly wouldn’t want to own a residential-focussed gas distribution company unless someone revolutionizes stirling engines or micro cogen systems and people start cutting their electric cord.
Not sure what your hypothetical proves other than that we agree that launching nukes is bad. :P

The company is still at fault and should still be legally punished within the local legal system. The difference is that the government has now got to accept liability on the international stage, since the company is incorporated in that country. The liability has "expanded", not changed from one entity to another.

In this case there is a higher delta between the system and the atmosphere as well as a higher delta between the hot and the cold side, which is what requires a stronger compressor.
That’s not what the regulation says. It says if there is a port, it must be usbc.

This is actually fairly easily fixed by watching non-garbage videos and giving negative feedback on the garbage ones (click the three dots and choose hide/see less like this - it's something like that). My reels are close to 100% videos of golden retrievers being adorable. That causes me to spend a little more time on FB than I otherwise would, which is exactly what FB wants, but I can live with myself frittering away a little time watching an adult golden meet a new golden puppy.

Same thing works for Twitter - you can tune it pretty well by selecting "I'm not interested in this tweet" for all the crappy ones. After someone told me that, it took about a day before it stopped feeding me scam crypto trash.

* Three Body Problem. I've heard of it many times, but never read it. Picked it up a month or two ago, read the whole thing in a few sessions, one of my favourite sci-fi books ever. Will read the next book in the series.

* Immune: A Journey into the Mysterious System that Keeps You Alive. Best pop-sci book I've read in a while. Strikes the right balance between including pertinent information without being overwhelming, explaining things in a digestible way without dumbing down, etc. Inspired me to read a proper immunology primer (How the Immune System Works), which was also very good.

* How Rights Went Wrong. An excellent, level-headed take on the U.S. conception of rights, and how it leads to zero-sum thinking in supreme court cases. The author is so relentlessly reasonable that it's hard not to buy into his argument. Even though this book is about the U.S., it has lots of case studies where it contrasts with various other countries, which helped me understand my country's (Canada's) court system and system of rights better.

Let-downs:

* Seeing Like a State. The first few chapters are interesting, and do a good job of explaining the world-view of the author. Worth buying just for this. However, the last half or two-thirds of the book is a tedious re-hashing of the same ideas through various examples.

* The Precipice: Existential Risk and the Future of Humanity. Many interesting factoids in here (killer asteroids: solved problem). However, the book's central argument failed to convince me. Many of the analyses and probability estimates were disappointingly shallow and hand-wavy, especially for the #1 risk cited in the book--unaligned AI--which he thinks has a 10% chance of ending civilization this century.
The ideal model of everything is everything-agnostic.

Refrigeration stuff is generally soft copper, and modern refrigerants are already working up in the hundreds of PSI. So I can see that getting expensive or requiring a sea change in materials.
Ten years is a long time, but it's interesting that we've reached sort of a plateau in videogame design. I mean, look at 1982 vs 1992 vs 2002. Technology continues to advance, but we're still making the same kind of 3D games, so that a kid today could go play those games without any real trouble.
Your point seems to assume that reading manuals is the 'right' way to learn about working with a system.

While it is the preferred way for myself I acknowledge that it is not for a lot of other people.

Furthermore you can easily configure any distro today to 'respect history' as much as you desire by changing a few config files.

That doesn't change the face that the average person interacting with a *nix OS today will not share this history.

Discoverability in UX is a key concept.
The people who came up with what you call 'history' simply had no clue about it.

Human Computer Interfaces (HCI, what now broadly falls under the term 'UX') was a subject you studied decoupled from the rest of CS (if the university even offered this). People writing tools where oblivious to UX. And the users where the same folks.

I would go as far and say that ignoring this and insisting on these modal editors as defaults because 'history' indeed borders on arrogance for this very reason.
I think it's also fashion. Monkey see Google, monkey do Google.

Second hand exposure to smoking is pretty well understood by cigarette consumers, yet the second hand exposure of social media consumption is very much not understood. All of the shadow profiles, tracking, fingerprinting etc so that people that are not consuming social media still have profiles about them being created without their knowledge or permission.
The sequel "1493", about the local and global impacts following Columbus' landing, is even more fascinating.
There's no outside noise in a ground-source system (for all practical values of noise: it's just flow in insulated pipes). The pumps are nearly inaudible inside the mechanical room as well.

Inverter-based air-source outdoor units are nearly inaudible during any time when your neighbors are likely to have their windows open. When the weather is uncomfortable enough to have the units need to run at high-speeds, they are no longer inaudible, but the neighbors are likely to have their windows closed.
I believe the parent comment is talking about scale at human sized.
That is how the majority of screens are done, retro or not. Framerate-related flickering is one issue but brightness is often a bigger problem. Under studio lights even the fanciest of OLED screens are dim on camera. And screens reflect unwanted things. So classic "over the shoulder" shots of computer screens are effectively greenscreened in afterwards. If you look carefully, when they are showing a computer screen on TV the camera doesn't move, to facilitate the edit in post.
The SD has basically the minimum display size for useable retro PC gaming. For PS1 emulation, you could probably get away with something the size of the GB Pocket, but PC games simply were never designed for small screens.
I don't know why you were downvoted, but your comment made me google some of the books to see if there's something to the recommendations.

So i assume there's a certain section that disagrees with the book so much that they're paying for ads to counter it! Maybe there's an answer lying there. i.e. it triggers the left versus right debate and hard!
Look closely at a lightning cable. The edge is metal. When you plug in a lightning cable, you briefly short every single pin together. There's probably a greater risk of bending a pin inside the port than there is shorting pins out.

My main issue with these types of articles is that "tech workers" != SWEs.

Of the people profiled in this article:

- 1 videographer

- 1 "systems engineer" (not sure what this means, but doesn't seem like it involves programming since they taught themselves Python after getting laid off)

And that's it. The article makes the point that the number of SWE job openings are way down, -50% YoY. It's clear that there is less slack at the moment. What's unclear is when it will become a full crunch.

I heard the same thing in 2020 when I got laid off, and it took me __a year_ to get back on my feet. I speculate on why this was the case in Hard Truth #3 in a post I just published.[0]

Good luck to everyone searching! It was a really rough time for me, but I learned a lot about myself and, as trite as it sounds, forced me to take a hard look at my skills and be more targeted in my outreach. Now I'm the happiest I've been in my entire career. Feel free to contact me if you need to vent, contact information in profile.

A section isn't large for a farming operation. It's only a square mile or 640 acres. Drive through the Central Valley of California and you'll pass through many much larger parcels. My husband and I own a section not far from Yosemite (as the crow flies). It's pretty rugged and remote - basically wilderness with a house and some cattle.
I'm not an expert on the topic, but I imagine that a heat pump that can handle -20F is also much more energy efficient when the temp is 0F (in comparison to a heat pump that was rated only for -5F, operating at 0F).
I'm in the 20+ years of experience bucket. It took me about 3 months to find a new job, and luckily my start date coincided with the end of my WARN act garden leave. Compensation at the new role is about 50% of my previous comp, but I'm also much happier in the role.
That's definitely on the roadmap but we're not quite there yet.

With the next release you will be able to create functions that are reusable pipeline segments (e.g. something like "top 5 items per group"). This works at the moment but is currently undocumented. Do expect there to be breaking changes on this still though as there are some issues around resolving names and namespaces etc... that we still need to work out.

There is a (currently rather small) stdlib of functions but beyond that we still need to think about a good way to share code and create reusable libraries.
