You don't ever get a few inches of snow on the top of the roof. The point of the aggressive pitch is so the weight of the snow pulls itself off the roof so your roof/home doesn't have to support 5 tons of water weight.

IDK if you live in a place that sees significant snow, if so, just drive around a neighborhood and notice what the snow looks like on the rooftops. Generally none on the top and some on the bottom. That's by design.

While the bottom of the panels aren't doing anything to melt the snow, the top portions are, and that accelerates as the snow melts.

The origin text that you're cutting will have a precise syntax determining where the block starts and ends. Just copy it to the new position, and change the indentation level to that of the target position, maintaining the same block definition. You know, the same thing that would be done if there were start and end delimiters; because in Python, indentation changes ARE block delimiters, with a well-defined syntax.

It's not rocket science, just following the language indentation rules for defining blocks. If the language parser can do it, why not the text editor?
Google really doesn't share much publicly except for papers and preset tech demos.

However we know they have been working on AI longer than OpenAI, with better datasets than anyone, with top shelf talent, essentially infinite funding, custom hardware, and what we do see publicly is incredible.

It's a pretty safe bet that Google is ahead of the pack, perhaps even with some distance, but it's not yet clear what they intend to do long term with their projects. What is clear is that they don't want or need the public playing with it.

It is an amazing tool that I think is going to help power the next generation of antidepressant treatments. Hopefully the more "traditional" racemic Ketamine does not get covered up as much by more expensive and less effective (but insurance-profitable treatments) like esketamine (which is simply one half of the racemic mix, just patented).

I don't believe that co-Ketamine therapy modalities have been developed well enough either, I think for certain traditionally treatment-resistant clusters of symptoms (like cPTSD, for example), it could be significantly helpful due to some of the properties it has compared to other treatments. Just that not all of those properties are going to be best utilized by a general population on a disorder taking a prescription alone.

It truly is an exciting frontier. (Among other reasons for commenting, I'm very excited about psycopharmacotherapeutics in general as an autism spectrum disorder special interest <3 :)))) )
> I do not care in the slightest about my engine RPM and yet it takes up almost half of the display.

Kinda meta, but this sentence was trippy AF to read. Engine RPM is something quite valuable to me as a driver, even in my CVT automatic subaru. It's a direct link to the heart of the engine - to know how hard I'm pushing it.

It's still possible to redline an engine (especially in an Audi), and knowing how close you are is important. It's especially important in winter, since not paying attention to your engine's RPMs when you're trying to get un-stuck is a great way to start a car fire.

> Would anyone like to subsidize my next restaurant visit by paying for my entree? No? But making someone unknown working class person pay for my $25,000 solar install through inflation is ok?

Yes, it obviously is ok? Your next restaurant meal doesn't have a broad impact on the world we live in, whereas the deployment of solar panels does.
That reduction is lossy. There's a large middle ground where free individuals make agreements with each other to cooperate in ways that make them all better off.

The previous commenter's handle alludes to one possible item, crystal meth: that's a substance that doesn't seem to have any redeeming value, and a lot of risk for other cooperative endeavors. So perhaps we should all agree not to traffic in it. (And if we later find a good use for it that stance can be revised.) Mushrooms have a very different calculus, and all that said I agree in general that the drug war has been very badly conceived and executed.
Please check out the Vox article linked by the other poster. I want to preface with saying I’m pro choice. But are you really going to argue the 5 men and 1 woman that vote to affirm Dobbs is representative of the nation? People (including me) have been complaining about how the court hasn’t had a majority blue nomination since the 50s even though the political pendulum has swung multiple times since then. And grouping every male into the ruling .01% is not a good faith argument.
Absolutely, organizations need someone who will stand up and ensure important things are dealt with, but doing so does not require being unpleasant. This is something I’ve actively tried to cultivate in myself, and have been happy to receive feedback both that I am “not at all a yes-man” and am “someone who has a calming presence” by coworkers.

I think that being the unpleasant version of “not a yes-man” just means that people will try to find ways around you.
> Everyone wants buy once, updated forever software.

I want buy once, free minor bugfixes until the next major version comes out software.

For example, I liked windows 3.1, hated windows 95, liked windows 98, hated ME, liked 2000, and never liked another windows. Likewise, I liked early versions of Google maps, but they change the interface in small and large ways unpredictably. I could go on.

With the subscription model, you're stuck with every whim of the developers, stuck with horrible interface changes and you're constantly re-learning how to use the software to do the things you need to do with it. There's a tendency to make new features prominent, which comes at a cost to old (that is to say, core) features.

Auto-updates are a pox on usability. Stability in tools is severely underrated and destroyed by the subscription model.
That's true until the market is saturated. Most consumers aren't going to double their consumption if price falls by half - unless you're basically an addict, there are diminishing returns to consumption. Oregon grew way more than the state would ever consume, regardless of price for multiple years.

Cool, sorry that SQLGlot didn't satisfy your needs. But if you file issues, we fix them quickly.
I have the opposite experience. Most of the bugs in my code are type-related issues, and once I fix those (usually with the help of the compiler, since I prefer statically-typed languages), my code usually runs correctly the first or second time. Throughout the 2022 AOC I only had 2 (out of 49) parts where I had a logic error that type checked but did not run properly, which I needed to debug. But in almost every part I had the compiler point out issues that I had to fix before the solutions would run at all.
Why is it like that?
>I'm from Europe and I have separate cards for credit and debit, but the ATMs in the US still ask me.

This is true in the US as well, but most US debit cards have a Visa/Mastercard logo on them. Those cards can run the transaction either through the debit system or the credit system. It's not actually a combined credit/debit card (at least I've never heard of such a thing), just that your debit card can pretend to be a credit card.
> I think web3/crypto will have mass adoption, but when it does, it will be much more boring and seamless with what we have today, with large companies managing blockchains and governments issuing their own coins.

This is happening in my area. We have insane vacancies right now. It was nearly impossible to get an apartment in 2020 and 2021. But now my current complex is well under 50% full. I see 2-3 people moving OUT every weekend and I've seen only 3-4 people move in since Spring 2022. But the complex is still insisting on raising rents.

I've looked at homes that have been available for Rent for over 4-6 months and they are refusing to negotiate or lower rents. They could have already been halfway through a year long lease on places and they are refusing to rent in order to get an extra few hundred a month in rent and drive up the market.

People are packing up and going elsewhere. New buildings are being built like mad all around us, and I don't know where they expect these people to come from that will pay their high prices. The smaller property management companies are dropping prices like crazy to get vacancies filled, but the large ones are holding strong with high rents. They have probably been banking absurd rents for the past two years and can afford to sit on these homes long enough now if they can keep getting high rents. But jokes on them, inventory is getting too high.

My rent went up 30% in 2021, and went up another 10% last year. They are now asking for another 5% increase this year. I make good money, but I am effectively paying 50% more money for a home thats half the size of what I used to have. I can work anywhere in the country, so I'm not playing this game and I think many others are in the same boat.
In Austin I'd like to see some studies on solar vs tree coverage. My empirical evidence would suggest that great tree coverage alone keep the inside livable on 100f+ summer days. On my house without trees I could barely keep some of the rooms cool.
K-holing can be a horrid idea on a home-dose of Ketamine due to the death spiral of tolerance that ensues. That's what causes the feedback loop of psychological addiction that brings some of the opioid addiction-like horror to the table for this particular treatment, and one of the things I think that could be used to (wrongly, and unethically by some potentially unscrupulous lawmakers of any political dimension) shut it down in the future if too many people began abusing that.
Your restaurant visit is quite subsidized. Notably, both the labor and the materials used are heavily subsidized.
Grid scale solar is half the price of home electricity.

Also about half your bill is distribution fees.

I think the context does not support your response. Because while they may have stated that it shouldn’t change their hiring practices, the rest of the conversation fully indicates that it did or would in fact be a consideration in their future hiring practices. So what they stated as far as hiring practice policy does not match up to what they said their practices might be going forward. There is a mismatch here. I of course do not know from what is presented how that actually played out. Whether or not the hiring practice policy of not changing the policy is what prevailed, or whether or not they did in fact render hiring decisions on the basis of the implied noncompete agreements that may have been made.

> this is a volunteer opportunity where people restore the oyster population. while also simultaneously eating... oysters?

Pretty neat, right? Turns out oyster larvae can’t just attach to anything. And one of the best materials for them to take root on is oyster shells. So you fly in oysters from around North America, charge a ticket price, have a good time; and then load the dried shells into chicken-wire crates (volunteers build them), lower them into reefs [1] and then innoculate them with larvae. After a few seasons, the water around the reef becomes clean enough to allow for doing it again. (Oysters are filter feeders. You don’t want to eat ones growing in dirty water.)

You are absolutely right: you do not know much about cruises.

The things you listed are ... 4-5 different applications, mostly running directly on the ship(s) and what is conspicuously missing are the parts that are managed shoreside, like:

Itinerary planning (your product is one or more cruises: therefore you need to preplan the itineraries, which ships to use, when you will enter each port and when you will leave it, and so on... try to imagine this like a mix between hotel management and flight company management)
Inventory management (i.e. Reservation).

You mention "bookings" like a microservice. This could work for ferry line, where you are basically selling a ticket for a single trip, most of the time with no personal accommodation (except maybe for the car).

A Cruise booking usually comes with a ton of ancillary services (e.g. I live in Berlin and I want to take a cruise in the Caribbeans... therefore I need a flight to get there and back. This could be provided by a charter flight or a normal airline ... in either cases the ticket will be part of the booking itself) - take in account that cruise customers are mostly middle-aged or older and relatively affluent, therefore the last thing they would like to do is to create their own itinerary by booking services on 4-5 different websites.

(But I suppose it is better to stop there, we are really OT now)
Thanks, good catch. I updated the urls, so now the live sample sites do work.
I don't think this is regressive. He's suggesting that people will gain the weight back when they go off of the drug and their appetite returns, which is a legitimate concern given that we don't know if it's safe for people to take this drug long term because it hasn't been around all that long.
Subsidies, primarily net metering.

With panels on your house the grid is still providing you a key service, providing you with any power you need in excess of what you produce, and sinking any extra for you. But with net metering you only pay in proportion to your net usage, effectively compensating you at retail rates for the power you supply to the grid.
Hmm. It is an interesting question. Personally, this is one of the things I credit Amazon with ( "removing friction","customer obsession" ). Whether I call, chat or send an email, the result is a consistent and decent customer service that can get stuff done ( and where it can't, it can escalate to those that can ).

I am not sure you should equate me signing up for a 3rd party broker not only accepted, but a given. I personally do not believe it is old fashioned to have your business reachable by phone, when things go wrong ( in fact, I am not sure how Google and others have been able to get away with it so far ).

In other words, it is nice that T-Mobile extends their online presence to accommodate social media, but they may want to stick to their core strengths, because this is what I actually pay them for.

In your restaurant example, I go to a restaurant and I am greeted by a pimp, who happens to know Maître d' and can get you a good seat as a result. This is ok for some and I accept some people choose this as their default option. I like to go the actual restaurant ( T-mobile webpage or their call center ).

<< why would their 'A team' be there waiting for you?

Because I am a paying customer. That is why.
And the subsidies too.
FWIW I keep hearing "decentralized web" and "fediverse".
Largely it is because you don't have to pay for delivery. It is very similar to having a well. If the water is available at your house already it is most likely cheaper to just pump it versus paying someone to supply water to your house.
almost certainly. Net metering is ultimately unsustainable. Realistically we should be paying homeowners wholesale electricity rates + an amount to cover transmission savings + whatever incentive we decide on for the energy they produce (along with time of use based consumption charges).

This would likely incentivize storage, and could be extremely valuable with V2G technologies that are incoming.
I've never used any version of Angular, but from what I've seen people complain about it was also a huge breaking change - so much of peoples' apps had to be rewritten they ended up just switching to React or Vue or something.
I'm inclined to distrust all WSJ reporting in this area considering how biased and agenda-driven their articles on remote work, employee productivity, "quiet quitting" etc. have been over the last couple years.

And nobody pays for anything with inflation. That's not how inflation works.

The short answer is delivery costs. And that's what makes this current era of solar power so exciting, in my opinion! The market is practically begging us for microgrids.
