It's easy to make a digital circuit that counts clock cycles with perfect accuracy. But for any clock, the actual length of each cycle is dependent on analog processes, and it's impossible to completely eliminate errors.

15 seconds per month is about 6 parts per million, which is already better than the manufacturing tolerances of a typical cheap quartz crystal. There are very few objects of any kind that you can obtain cheaply with that kind of accuracy. That suggests that, as this article says, Casio is trimming the frequency for each watch to compensate for component variations.
Sadly, React. Was using Angular 1, and Vue made much more sense. I'm not a Frontend Developer though, but needed to learn React but it happened to late. At least, when I needed to learn, components were not classes anymore but functions which made learning curve somehow simpler for me although its not much difference.

Linear algebra in general for me was kind of one of these concepts. Aced my university linear algebra class with no idea what the heck I had learned. It didn't start to click for me until I started using it for tangible problems.

The Serpent In Your Spine
Modern LED grow lights require minimum 35 watts per square foot to grow things beyond just lettuce, which is around 1.5 million watts per acre. Americans currently consume a bit over 2.5 acres of farmland produce per year, however you could get that down to 1 acre without much problem by cutting out some of the less land efficient crops likes fruit trees, especially when talking indoor grow.

So I would expect bare minimum energy requirements to be near 1.5-2 million watts per person for 12-16 hours a day for indoor food sustainability.

This is of course not accounting for fertilizer which has large energy requirements or anything more than the most simple and basic of climate control.

Dependency injection is one of those technical terms that are made up to describe something that has been done for decades but with a new name because the creators of the new term don't have much experience and/or they want to gain notoriety for creating a new programming technique.

If you've ever written a constructor for a class that has arguments (within the constructor signature) that are used by the instance of the class when instantiated then you have done dependency injection, or put more simply 'passing stuff in' which was eloquently stated in another comment on this thread.

Compost works but it is very expensive at the moment
15 seconds per month is about 6.7ppm. That's well within typical crystal oscillator accuracy. If you need more than that (without external time correction such as gps or radio/internet), you need expensive oscillators with temperature compensation or even ovenized units.

Programming as “just math”.

I got wrapped up sitting there memorizing ins and outs of each language and the ecosystem, others compositions in the form of Apache and the like.

Now it seems bizarre we’d think of it as anything but add, div, compare of electrical state in a memory address. It’s not a 1:1 machine translation but it’s the abstraction that’s made me most productive.

A whole lot of baggage comes with software that I’m hopeful ML libraries will allow us to retire. Currently wrapping UI around OpenCV to make my own “Photoshop”, for example.

I really can’t see any other way of approaching programming as anything but a waste of human agency. There are social problems we could be focused on if we were less focused on butts in chairs cranking out code.
Unlike a lot of posters in tech on HN, I have experience with both the enterprise dev side of the world where most developers work and FAANG compensation.

I’ve worked a lot longer as a developer. But because of bad career decisions until 2008, I ended up doing a career reset.

My first experience with staff augmentation type contracting was in 2011-2012. The company I worked for went out of business and was sold for scraps and I got a contract working with one of our customers.

Local tech salaries for my skillset were in the low $100s - standard mid level C# developer. I couldn’t push above $60/hour. At 1800 hours a year, it was a wash. But no health insurance - I was also married.

The next time was in 2016. I purposefully took a contract to perm job to get my first tech lead experience. I couldn’t find contract jobs for more than $70/hour. That translates to about $126K which was a little below average for senior dev in my area ($135K - $150K). But a racked up on hours.

When I was hired full time, we were paying the contracting agency $90/hour and the contractors were making $70.

Looking at one of the sites I use to use (https://www.matrixres.com/job/java-developer-424), it still seems like your average enterprise dev is still getting $70/hour.

I’ve seen the same numbers on other sites.

What are the odds that the “tipping-bucket rain gauge” was impacted by being repeatedly shook by the storm, triggering the counters — or some other source of error, fraud, etc.?

> How do see the chances for other competitors to be able to catch up with SpaceX/Starlink?

Not the author, but Starlink’s parallel competitive threats are usually exaggerated. They have cheap capital and they own their own trucks. That helps. But it’s not a blocking advantage. Their existing fleet is only a marginal competitive advantage to a new sensor suite; there is little evidence they build better birds than anyone else (versus their rockets, which are in a class of their own).

Do you really believe healthcare in China even remotely resembles "low regulation"?
As someone with a foot in both worlds, I have been in tech for 30+ years and we also own a small cattle farm (can't even call it a ranch), there is a staggering amount of distrust in technology of any kind in the ag world. Every new piece of tech comes saddled with some license, or dealer only issue, or the old tractor/equipment could break down and I could fix it in the field on my own in a few hours, vs my new equipment broke down and now I have to wait for some service tech (there are never enough when you need them) to come out and reset some computer or replace a piece of software/tech at a ridiculous cost. And I can't work on it on my own.

Add to that, many farmers have been farming the same piece of ground for generations and they know everything they need to know about their land to at least break even most years and no piece of tech or software will improve those numbers enough for them to justify the cost/risk or the developers to justify the minimal profit growth.
You can't eat electricity or insulation. There's close to 1 billion acres of farmland in the U.S. alone. If we were to suffer a decade of volcanic winter, large parts of the midwest would become non-productive. If the reports of the sun being as dim as the moon due to the ash are true, there would be massive crop failure. One or two years like that, we might be ok. But any longer than that and our stores would be rapidly depleted. Famines can knock out huge percentages of populations and have led to the collapse of civilization on several occasions in the past few millenia.

I’m pretty sure it’s just that people are so inexperienced when it comes to wet roads that the slightest bit of loss of traction causes chaos.

I’m sure buildup of dirt and oil on roads that isn’t regularly washed off with rain makes things a little worse.

But like in Minnesota there are always tons of accidents during the first snow of the year. Then people remember how to drive in the snow and everything is fine for the next 40 snows.

Bolsonaro did concede. He immediately gave his greenlight to an orderly transition of power pursuant to the Constitution, which amounts to conceding wrt. the result.
No, I haven’t, and it would only be anecdotal evidence anyway. The issue is that there’s still the same mix of “it works without issues for me” and “I gave up making it work” comments as there was 5/10/15 years ago. I certainly believe that some things have improved, but it appears that in practice it’s still a gamble and heavily depends on one’s particular requirements and use cases.

Illegal gambling run by organized crime syndicates was widespread in the US until the 1970s. Black, Italian and Jewish mobs fought for control of "numbers games" very similar to the Pick 3 and Pick 4 state lottery games. I read many stories of illegal craps games in NYC and also whole illegal casinos in many cities.

J. Edgar Hoover, FBI chief, was a known illegal gambler and kept the police from cracking down. After his death they applied the methods known as "COINTELPRO" when used against the civil rights movement to the destruction of the "Cosa Nostra" Mafia.

There was a long period of increasing legitimization of the gambling industry in the US, first in a few entrepot such as Las Vegas and Atlantic City and eventually everywhere, helped on by the tremendous interest that the public has in gambling and also the perception that extreme sports betting hasn't done that much harm in the UK.

There are many people for whom it seems to be "good clean fun" but I also read stories of people embezzling because of gambling addiction: for instance a woman who worked for the local municipal bus company stole $700,000 that she lost gambling.

No lol, ahahahahah. He was saying 60+ hrs right? That means I have 52 hours free, and he wanted me to be there in person too right? So that's another 4-6 hours commuting. Then even being incredibly efficient it usually takes me about 2 hrs/day to do life upkeep stuff, so that's 14 hrs there, so that's 32 free hours/wk? All split up into small chunks too.

That's really approaching "effectively zero time to do things that are important to me". You only have one life to live and while money enables some things, free time is much more precious. It's really hard to see a justification for giving up that much capacity for self determination.
So let me get this straight: in the face of a failure to control global warming by other means, you'd prefer your anxiety about possible risks to prevent any attempt to counter the warming by this approach, dooming the world to potentially catastrophic temperature increases?

I’m not saying you’re dealing in conspiracy theories, as I think that’s aggressive and irrelevant, but:

That’s not quite true; Germany censors tons of speech, and nobody would ever call them a dictatorship. Same is true for the UK and plenty of other countries, where the press is definitely “managed” and people can get thrown in jail for the things they say.

Censorship is one aspect of dictatorship, but not all censorship implies dictatorship.
Someone once told me he derives his self-confidence from the dialogue with himself. It took me a few years to understand it:

1. A clear dialogue with oneself is establishing certainty about the inner self

2. Certainty with the inner self enables one to see the outside in a clear way

3. That clarity contributes to confidence in one's actions.
Yes, it uses solenoid based actuators. Not sure if it controls the dynamics too, but one way to do that would be by driving the actuators using a curve modulated by high frequency PWM; probably quite hard to calibrate to MIDI key velocity since those actuators are essentially on/off devices, but doable.

Yeah sure at 1.5 million watts per acre of grow surface in LED lighting. The average American eats 2.5 acres worth of food and produce per year, which is a 3.75 million watts of lighting for 12-16 hours a day per person.

Now sure that number can be improved, but it also isn't accounting for additional HVAC costs, and you are still looking at atleast 2 million watts per person.
