ugh, that stupid steering "wheel" again. :)
TIL. Thanks!

In my plebeian brain I just thought “monomorphization = static dispatch” / 0-cost abstraction (vs. just writing multiple versions of a function), which both Rust generics and C++ templates fall into.

Now I see that “monomorphization” has a specific definition in FPL

> can I just use it to measure the temperature of the oven?

You can stick the probe into a large potato. BBQ people call it a "sacrificial potato", when they put it inside their BBQ to measure the inside air temperature, before they even add the meat. The sensor at the tip of the Meater probe cannot stand hot (over 100C) temperatures, so it needs to be inside a food item. Whereas the sensor at the other end is meant to measure the air temperature of the oven or a BBQ.

You might get better value from a product like this

https://www.amazon.com/ThermoPro-Bluetooth-Thermometer-Wirel...

if you primarily want to measure the oven air temperature.

For me, most of the value from Meater comes from the app, which tells me how long to cook and then how long to rest. I don't really bother to look at the temperatures, I just do what the app tells me to.
I'm just going to throw it out there to spread the word; GFRP Rebar (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) is a thing, and you can buy it today at your local hardware store. I really wish I would have known about it on my last project, probably the last time I will buy steel rebar to put in concrete.

I'm not an ME, but my understanding is that it is a comp in terms of structural reinforcement. I'd be really interested to do a deep dive on how these technologies stack up against each other, it seems like a win for construction longevity, it would be pretty cool if the ecological impact of production penciled out as a win too. My understanding is that there are some trade off when being used in large projects.

My cursory research has indicated that this stuff first hit production in the 80's and was used in a bridge in the US in 96. Still haven't figured out why it hasn't taken over.[2] Is it just for a lack of evangelists?

I do this as well.

I have a Python script which I can use to kill all chrome.exe so that next time the machine boots, chrome offers me to restore the tabs which where open before the crash.

I only use this when I know that the tabs are really important and I need to continue using them the next day. Else Chrome starts with a single custom startpage which contains links and as well as views to Jira projects (like a to-do list via the Jira API). And during the day I bookmark all tabs I find important and clean up. But it's usually around 4 windows with each around 10 - 20 tabs which accumulate during the day, in addition to dedicated browser profiles which serve specific purposes, like email or developer consoles.

>The Gnome people seem to seriously just go around removing options because deleting working code used by actual humans makes them feel more powerful

They do it because open source projects don't have infinite resources to maintain infinite options forever. You can complain about it all you want, but 25 years of history shows that just because something was being used by humans doesn't mean that volunteers are going to magically show up to maintain that option for eternity. I'm sure if you've been working in this field for a while then you've deleted some unfortunate code in your day job and had to convince users to do things a better way. So why single out GNOME for this?
“opt-in” in the sense that I could just multiple versions of my functions if I want to? Agreed!
Kotlin has it, but only if the function accepts the function argument, e.g.
`foo({println("hello")})` is the same as `foo {println("hello")}` (larger example in my other comment above).

You can also make it on no-args function, if it's a method (attached to a type). Utilizing @get(), like that: `3.mph` and have somewhere else defined

val Double.mph: Speed
get() = Speed.mph(this)
No reply from OP, but I know or know of a few people who do something along these lines. There are a set of ingredients relatively common though clearly not universal across East Asia and I suspect OP is making a pastiche of those. If it were a language you'd call it a pidgin. But it's food so I dunno what you call it.

Interestingly it will stop you if you start to go the “wrong” way. Without looking at the source code, I’m wondering if it is keeping a convex hull to determine this?
This is very impressive. While there may be some aspects of messaging, UI, etc. that could be improved upon, the overall features and thoroughness are impressive. This level of development would be impressive for a seasoned developer, and even more so for someone who is only 17 years old. It is truly amazing.

I thought this was about Giotto a famous Renaissance Painter, but it seems to be a training app, to become like him (one day):

"The Pope hoped to hire a fresco artist and sent to Giotto a messenger, who asked for a competitive sample drawing. With just paper and a pen, Giotto flicked his wrist and drew a perfect circle. Vasari writes: "The messenger, seeing that he could get nothing else, departed ill-pleased...However, sending the other drawings to the Pope with the names of those who had made them, he sent also Giotto's, relating how he had made the circle without moving his arm and without compasses; the Pope…saw that Giotto must surpass greatly all the other painters of his time."

Either very optimized / specialized or a lot of math etc.

It seems like all the use cases are for tasks that are quite easy to timebox and don't take that much effort.

I appreciate using new tools to make these parts more efficient. But, if you are spending hours a day doing these types of tasks you might be easily replaceable anyway.

That really needs several citations. You really think because the “great” Soviet Union collapsed that businesses decided “wow, we were worried about communism so now that’s not a thing.

I think stuff from the recent "people checking out of workforce" threads may also contribute to this:

"In 1950, 14 percent of men were out of the labor force. Today, that figure stands at 31 percent."

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/15/business/men-unemployment...

If we take 40 hours (and that's less, according to the original article), then this factor alone would make it 31% less for an average man! So 8 hours a day just turned into 5.52 hours, for men at least.
It's just that the rest of the time is not spent puffing cigars at the gentlemen's club as Keynes might have imagined, but stuffing your face with hot pockets playing Call of Duty on your aging parent's couch.

However, from the original rootsofprogress.org article, i didn't quite get this part:
men aged 20
Work hours Other hours
70,612 (20%) 276,522 (80%)

Ok, so retirement, sure. They mentioned child labor, holidays and education, but for most men aged 20 in the US that doesn't even apply (20 is not a child, number of holidays barely went up on their graph, education is irrelevant for 70% of men aged 20). They don't seem to consider the 31% men checking out of workforce. So what is this huge number of non-work hours that makes up 80% of your life? Guess I have to go read the reference.

I bought Oura a couple of years ago because it's a ring that runs Linux and gives you some insight into your life.

Well, it does run Linux, but the rest - not so much.

Did side by side tests with another sleep tracker and Oura was pulling its data seemingly out of its ass. Completely random stuff. After seeing that all other data it reported didn't instill much confidence either, nor did it correspond to what I was actually observing. So packed it up and stashed into a closet. It's still a cool gadget, but inaccurate to the point of being utterly useless.
I learned that the best way to do this is to first draw a head, and then erase all the bits that aren't a perfect circle. I didn't see that as an option.

I, for one, love the look of this car and it's awesome to see BMW go back to the classical shape instead of their current "big nostril" design.

As a person in college right now, I think you should do what you think is best for you. If you end up regretting not going to college, you can always go back and get your bachelors and pay for it yourself.

As for why I went to college; I made that decision because I didn't really know what I wanted to do or where I was headed and I wasn't experienced at all in programming or any CS related topics.

The main benefit for me was being in an environment where I was introduced to new CS topics/ideas. As for having a deep understanding of those topics and how to implement them, I had to self study/teach myself.

My point is, is that you shouldn't feel pressured to do anything. You need to make a decision that works best for you because the value of uni/college is, and will be, different for everyone. :)

apples and oranges - per acre suburbia if anything uses more water.

if it's good enough to shift the high water use crop farming elsewhere, then why isn't it good enough to shift the golf courses and lawns, to say Iowa then too?

it's the same answer for houses, the climate is good and the land/houses/water/etc. is cheaper. you choose the characterize the farmers as "don't care salting the earth to line their personal pockets" while excepting the developers putting big cities in the middle of a desert for the same reason and for the same result.
Your construction of what the number means doesn't make sense, and (therefore) you need to start over. It is generally a mistake to assume people quoting figures mean stupidly impossible things, even though sometimes they do.
> If that's the case, we need to serious re-consider how we reward Open Source as a society (I think that would be fantastic anyway!) -- we have people producing knowledge and others profiting directly from this material, producing new content and new code that's incompatible with the original license.

Is that new? If I include some excerpt from copyrighted material in my own work and it's deemed to be fair use, that doesn't limit my right to profit from the work, sell the copyright to someone else, and so on, does it?
It's not a strict progression. I mean you can not have a car or could lose it first and then lose your home and go immediately into the streets.

My point is that approaches to homelessness are inherently aesthetic and performative. It's focused on reducing the appearance of homelessness (ie those on the street), which is why police will clear out an encampnet now and again or, in the worst case, just bus them to some other city to deal with.

But for so many people these problems start long before they get to the streets and the biggest problem of all is housing security.
> there would be no options other than home ownership or homelessness

There are also extended-stay hotels. But other than that, is near-universal home ownership such a bad thing? What's the big difference between paying a mortgage and paying rent? Rent already pays for mortgage, repairs, and maintenance anyway. All that's left is closing costs when you move.

Well, technically, you can use cement instead of mortar (wet, but without sand). As far as I understand, sand is more like a neutral filler, to save money on cement. Various other things can be used to fill as well, like gravel. Sometimes even empty plastic bottles (reduces material and weight) are suitable (just make sure they don't float up). If one got very smooth bricks (e.g. precisely cut aerated concrete), then it might make sense, as there's very tiny amount of mortar (or even glue) is needed anyway.
Alternatively how much of our labor force is working in useless jobs? Aka jobs that just exist because people need a job to survive?
It of course depends on your application needs. Many applications don't need a total order, they just need a predictable, stable order. ULIDs offer that. ULIDs generated within the same clock ms are sorted randomly. Random is unpredictable to people, but to a system that is a predictable sort order (it is randomly sorted) and the random numbers in ULID are more importantly still a stable sort order.

Obviously, applications exist where you do need a total order of IDs/events and ULID may not be the best choice for those, but don't underestimate the usage scenarios of partially ordered, stable sorts.

Bodybuilders have known this for decades, the term is “negative reps”.

They are effective for building muscle memory when learning new exercises, and they are also incredibly beneficial for general muscle building.

Most major muscle groups operate in either push or pull, when it comes to weight training.

By focusing on the negative/inverse movement you activate more of the secondary stabilisation muscles.

Graeber was no more careful or truth seeking with Bullshit Jobs than with the rest of his work. Other, better scientists have tested his bullshit and found b it lacking.

> Alienation is not ‘Bullshit’: An empirical critique of Graeber’s theory of BS jobs

> David Graeber’s ‘bullshit jobs theory’ has generated a great deal of academic and public interest. This theory holds that a large and rapidly increasing number of workers are undertaking jobs that they themselves recognise as being useless and of no social value. Despite generating clear testable hypotheses, this theory is not based on robust empirical research. We, therefore, use representative data from the EU to test five of its core hypotheses. Although we find that the perception of doing useless work is strongly associated with poor wellbeing, our findings contradict the main propositions of Graeber’s theory. The proportion of employees describing their jobs as useless is low and declining and bears little relationship to Graeber’s predictions. Marx’s concept of alienation and a ‘Work Relations’ approach provide inspiration for an alternative account that highlights poor management and toxic workplace environments in explaining why workers perceive paid work as useless.
