If you do this you will be adding a new layer of expression to the existing pile. A layer that allows you to express your preferred working perspective, but still, the other layers came with working philosophies too.

Expressive and unique code often expresses a set of general workplace-system values. It's like a T-shirt with an obscure slogan on it. You propose to add an explanatory note to the T-shirt, in a way. To some, that's helpful. To others it's a metaphorical marketing disaster. (You explained what, to who?? Man, don't do that for them, they don't deserve it and don't know what they are doing.)

In those shoes, I would ask myself if the current leadership and philosophy of the inner-company has really changed since Perl times and if you have buy-in to take control. Or if you will be packaging control systems for people up the chain who will take that control and use it to wield _you_ more directly. (Perl in such a state as you found it was a great equalizer in those cases. It helped raise the level of technical discourse to where we are at now, in a big way, by allowing this unique prose as code. You want a seat at the table, earn it with technical chops, and this will be future-proofing in that sense)

From a peer perspective, what your documentation indicates to code-expressive personalities (people) is that you intend to focus on broad, systems-level control. This can be really scary to them and maybe also laughably grandiose, and can cause reactions you don't want. So I couldn't tell if you are working with anybody like that, but if so it's something to consider.

You should at the very least take stock of who else documents, and who doesn't.

Overall: If little documentation was done, and you are heavily pro-doc, you need to consider that this is a complete shift in philosophy in some deep ways. If you are the variable here, yikes, look out, you could be giving your peace of mind or maybe your job away in exchange for equity that is not really there waiting for you.

But if there's some other variable like new ownership, maybe not so much. Maybe broader systems-control is needed of you at some more primal level, e.g. it stands between you and the literal destruction of the org.

Future-proofing is also great until you meet the next engineer who is fascinated by mainly details and who literally perceives the future as changing with every new discussion upstairs. So, which perspective does your organization reward and prefer? That's a good cue for a thoughtful or nuanced approach to the future.

There are also different levels of documentation, such as documenting for yourself but not so much for others, and I think this is worth considering in lots of situations.

Just some thoughts and good luck.

P.S. It can be tempting to conflate being someone who practices good documentation with being a good and helpful person. This may be true in some cases, but it's also true that many organizations are long past the point at which this thought model was useful in isolation.
If anything, why would you prefer a billionaire who keeps to himself, and is afraid to speak his mind?
How can we be sure it’s from global warming?

Aren’t we calling it climate change now?
It's usually about 35F to 22F daytime when I turn on the heater, so efficiency at low temperatures would be the main thing that matters. It doesn't get to -20F that often most years, but it does hover around -5F for days at a time on occasion.

Current generation heat pumps are probably still worth it but ultra low temp performance would be nice.
How about touchtyping some code in your favourite language but not in linear way? Edit one line here, delete 2 lines there, use some regexp, etc.
I hope LPM gets to 1.0 soon. Having to download a lua file or clone a repository to plugins directory is easy, but it can get messy overtime. Also, I hope Lite XL has a plugin store/market like Sublime's packagecontrol.io or open-vsx.org. I think the current lite-xl-plugins repository is just too basic.
Do we really need heat pumps that work that far into the negative? You can always turn on an internal resistive heater to compensate after all.

Not quite something you can do on the other end though, when trying to cool with exceptionally high ambient temperature. It's such bullshit that the physics of this universe does not allow for resistive cooling.
I don't know what's up with that, but the standard fix is to let the faucets trickle.
Different strokes, I suppose.

I really don't understand this trend that has popped up int he last few years of putting the Password on a separate page from the username. The Password manager usually catches it but sometimes does not. It just needlessly adds an extra step/page to the log in process.
This is just a fact. If a company can hire someone for cheaper they will. They focus on profits and not on the well being of the country in which they're based.
I've yet to see password manager I'd trust to mess my browser with. I don't want autocomplete. I want convenient and controlled access to my passwords and that's about it. Every password manager wants to run its non-opaque JavaScript on my login pages which I can't allow.

What I need is:

show button on top bar if current website has stored passwords. At this point no logins/passwords are requested from the password manager, only website URLs (or even hashes).

After I click this button, request and show list of logins saved for this website. Let me choose login if there are multiple. Otherwise alter browser context menu.

Now when I right-click on text input, add items like "Insert login: vbezhenar" and "Insert password for vbezhenar".

And only when I choose "insert password" - actually request password from the password manager.

That's the only sane UI. Until I find it or write it myself, I'll continue to copy-paste passwords around.

It's a sad state of things where password managers are still not as usable as text file.
There may be no existing, comprehensive central management of electrical demand from heat pumps but that doesn't mean there are no mechanisms whatsoever, because there are systems already for regulating AC demand. In our region of the US, residential customers can opt in to a system where the electric utility can remotely disable their air conditioning compressor during times of peak load, in exchange for discounts. There are agreements on how long that can remain in effect, which would probably have to be stricter for heating systems, and probably have other safeguards added. There are also non-centralized AC mechanisms through Nest thermostats, where they can pre-cool buildings early in the morning to spread load out more evenly during the day.
I've had good luck with poster-tack goo... just have to make sure not to leave any behind.
I helped with a PC rollout to a hospital, replacing orange-on-black thin clients. Thin clients (or modern equivalent) are definitely the best way to run these large campus systems.

I sometimes wonder why there isn't a market for an enterprise-specific/secured/stable web browser for just such applications, which isn't subjected to the churn of consumer chrome and firefox.

Hospital apps could safely target and rely on dated support + feature agreements and stuff.
Depressed people without a life outside Facebook are Facebook's whales, whether it admits it or not.

Endlessly clicking through content, viewing ads, and bumping engagement numbers up.

Ergo, any systemic effort to boost engagement will eventually encourage actions with the end result of "Make more people depressed, so they consume more Facebook."

It's a crime that we don't regulate engagement methods at a government level. We should have started with anything targeted at children, but ultimately established some rules of the road for adults too.
I don't think it was pushed/marketed very hard, and by the end of it they were kind of just giving them away.

Failed might not be appropriate, it's still plenty usable in my opinion.
Challenging when you're on a well and your well pump requires power. Will your generator support 220V and the surge start a well pump requires? That surge is going to occur every X minutes to replenish the pressure tank as it depletes due to trickling. In this scenario, driving the 15A furnace circuit was a more simple fix.

Something else to consider: electric pipe heat cable to keep pipes from freezing draws ~7 watts per foot, is quick to install, and easy to power if you've planned ahead.
I recently spoke to a well driller that also does geothermal well drilling. He was telling me that the systems are more or less obsolete at this point, as the air-to-air units have such a high SEER rating that the ground loops really will never pay off.
Maybe I’m dumb, but aren’t compressors pressure-agnostic? They just add pressure, right?

Other than needing to be a bit stronger to keep from bursting against the higher delta with the ambient atmospheric pressure like the rest of the components.
I think you are missing the nuances of this picture.
On public lands, it varies a lot in the US depending on popularity. In popular wilderness areas and national parks, it's pretty common to need a backcountry permit to camp at a specific location--and in some cases these are very hard to come by. In other cases, especially BLM land but often national forests as well, you can camp more or less where you want to.

Well, I was referring to fences on the beach. But like I said, it has been before 2018 at which time apparently a transition period ended, so maybe (and hopefully) they are not there anymore?

I started using FB again recently because a group of friends use it, and I regret it. It's so toxic. Even the reels/short videos posted there are absolutely toxic- full of pointless garbage mixed with outright fake stuff like "free energy". I'll keep it because of Groups, which are handy for what they are, but the moment those move elsewhere, I'm out.
There's quite a big market for this, such as a lot of the Nordics, where -15C for a few days is common enough that not having heating then would rapidly become an issue as homes freeze quickly. At those temperatures you have heating on 24/7 to keep the cold at bay. Electricity costs on those cold days are indeed high due to the constant demand of heating.

> Also mechanical advantage seems to be a major tradeoff. There is a reason biology tugs on ropes and lets reaction surfaces slide around instead.

I'm not sure I understand. Do you think that there's a biological benefit to ropes and sliding (compared to this)? Or is it simply that ropes/sliding are easier to evolve? You probably know this, but (in case others are unaware) there are rotary "engines" in biology (e.g., bacterial flagellum and F0F1 ATPase), but, obviously, they are not quite like this spherical gear.

Interesting idea, though it's important to note that vocabulary is probably only 20% of learning a language. There's also grammar, pronunciation, tone, etc. And many languages don't even have a clear concept of what constitutes a "word".

I've heard this a few times before, but I think it says more about the quality of meat that people are eating here. Particularly the "Lyoner"-style ham - it feels just as artificial and processed if you buy it with or without meat.

That said, Rügenwalder are pretty good for the basics, and the mince and sausages are good in dishes where you're going to add a lot of flavour anyway.

Isn't that evidence that society doesn't tolerate these things? Once it was out in the open, society rushed to condemn it. Everywhere. Everyone.

It could only happen when society did not know about it. When it was kept secret.

Society absolutely does not tolerate attacks on women, as the #MeToo movement showed.
Having personally encountered a similar need to find ways to manage duplication and complexity in database code and previously considered use of templating as described in the article, I have some thoughts on the subject.

In the example given in the article - composability mainly centers around extracting and reusing the contents of the CTE. Rather than resorting to an external template preprocessing tool and introducing “compile” stage that brings its own set of challenges (e.g you can no longer directly review or run queries, template syntax is not supported by IDEs) - one could consider extracting the body of the CTE into a sql view or sql function, which could then be reused as needed. You can even nest such reusable primitives. It does require some discipline, but it is much simpler to keep straight than relying on text templates.

Depending the database engine and subject to some constraints - many (postgres, sql server, for example) can already inline and expand such sql constructs during planning and execution time, for instance pushing down predicates as an optimization technique.
> You can override that decision by specifying MATERIALIZED to force separate calculation of the WITH query, or by specifying NOT MATERIALIZED to force it to be merged into the parent query. The latter choice risks duplicate computation of the WITH query, but it can still give a net savings if each usage of the WITH query needs only a small part of the WITH query's full output.

How can you say that? Have you ever smoked one after sex?

What about alcohol or binging Netflix shows or even sex itself? Life is all about tradeoffs. Tobacco has a place in the trillions of tradeoffs combinations that each human can generate with their own lives, and so does alcohol, Netflix and social media.
Sorry, wasn’t entirely clear on what data I was talking about.

Unions fight to keep a lot of data from being automated instead of manual because the automated data can be used to build individual performance metrics. For example, some baggage handling unions fought against bag scanners because then you could tell how much work different union members did.

They’re trying to keep from getting optimized to death like an Amazon warehouse worker.

Unfortunately that same automated data is really useful for dealing with situations like this. Once the manually entered data is out of sync with the real world the errors compound and you have cascading failures.
Please read the entire the comment chain, the burden of proof is set arbitrarily high, which was suspected from the beginning due to the comment that was initially replied to, hence "no convincing you".

This is made especially difficult by the subjective nature of discussion.
>> It's one of those thankless enterprises like OpenWorm, which is trying to get a simulation of the simplest known organism with a nervous system, a nematode with 959 cells. After over 20 years, it still doesn't work very well. Yet someone has to do that kind of ground work.

I was considering a research project like that, on insect intelligence (I like bugs) (and bugs like me) but I was discouraged from it, the discouraging agent noting the extreme inter-disciplinary nature of such research. That's another roadblock I guess.

Another form of this is that modern AI researchers tend to be completely clueless about cognitive science, psychology, and anything that has remotely to do with animal intelligence, other than computational neuroscience of the connectionist kind. People are trying to figure out how to make computers exhibit intelligent behaviour like that of animals, without having any idea what animal intelligence even looks like. Of course that's going to stall.

Then again I was in an AI workshop at the Royal Society in London recently, with many illustrious folks from all the big unis in the US and EU, and after a big discussion about the capabilities of large language models, the subject of trying to simulate animal intelligence came up and was discussed in some seriousness, I think.

House heating tends to have controls from thermostats or other devices; I'd tend to look to them for grid-related time-shifting.

Adtech and social media are like secondhand smoking, something we've accepted as annoying but harmless, but actually extremely deleterious to our mental health. In 50 years, we'll look back at our current social media addictions in the same way people today look at Mad Men characters smoking everywhere 24/7.
Mine is the same with a gas furnace/heat pump combo. It's great.
It's "portable" but as someone looking for a gaming computer for a 9 year old, ideal in a lot of ways and certainly preferable to handing him some giant, ugly Windows box or teaching him how to navigate Linux (which I hope he'll do over time with this)
Yup, I agree. Algolia is the worst kind of search experience I had anywhere. I have no idea why people integrate that shit. A lot of sites use Algolia for their documentation search and you can't find terms there you know they exist.

It's fine to have different literary preferences than some other people. As you say, "one might enjoy crime drama, but not gratuitous violence". But to question the literary preferences of other people is an entirely different matter.

I agree.

I'm not sure why you're inferring that. I both believe in climate change and find the sources I've now seen good enough for my non-expert point of view.

I'm casting doubt in an effort to improve the quality of the arguments, not to undermine climate change or its seriousness.

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.

It is especially problematic because police orgs are generally pretty good at adopting new techniques. But unfortunately the marketplace of ideas they have to shop in suffers from overrepresentation of garbage products. A huge part of law enforcement enhancement is going to involve cleaning this market up.

We need heat pump that work below -20F like we need an electric car that can go 1000 miles in a single charge - which is we really don't for the 99% of the use case. What's needed is a heat pump that's cheaper to install than gas furnace or oil boiler for the 80% of the population. On few days of the year when it's -20F or below, it's ok to use resistive heater as a back up.
