It happens every time oil/gas spikes. Heating oil was just pushing $6/gal, so yeah.

And the federal tax credit just got severely neutered. At least that's what caused me to install a new one at the end of last year as opposed to later this year.

Wood stoves and heat pumps would seem to pair well. Heat pump capacity is expensive, and drops precisely when you need it most. Rather than falling back to resistive heat for the small amount of coldest days and watching your electric meter spin while you shiver, you can focus on the wood stove and have plenty of heat. On most days, you can keep a fire going if you're home and you want to, or you can just let the heat pump do its thing. Also unless you have a huge backup generator (and a correspondingly large fuel source), a heat pump isn't going to work in power outages while a wood stove will.
Why? Then our dear overlords can't map our homes in millimeter resolution in order to Better Serve Us.
Seeing Croatia make it into Schengen despite joining the EU 6 years later is quite embarrassing. There are large numbers of people in Romania and Bulgaria who are genuinely distressed that their countries are home to these unsavoury types and would like to put an end to it.

This is exactly it. You get a similar experience with the old radiators powered by a boiler. Both have the added advantage of not having as many issues with humidity as say forced air heating, which dries the air out as it heats it.

I grew up in a house heated primarily by a wood stove and setting aside all the environmental issues, it’s incredibly comfortable. I lived in an apartment for a few years that was heated by a boiler, and it was almost as comfortable (a bit louder though, but there’s no smoke to deal with). Midwest Winters were quite comfortable there. Unfortunately that apartment had no AC, so the summers were pretty brutal.
I dont' know what you're trying to say, but I never said that the 2011 model that I had was the last version to ever have an Nvidia GPU or that AMD was never used before then. You're really trying to start something just because...what, you're bored? I specifically chose the Nvidia GPU over the AMD option because of wanting to use CUDA. Most of us are aware that Apple's hardware designs and manufacturing pipelines are planned so that if they decide something today, it won't become available to consumers for at least a year if not two.

So I guess, I'm really asking WTF is the point of you arguing?
There is always an on/off-ramp from/to a local currency, that wants to be paid so zero fees is not realistic.

And for most people sending money overseas isn’t a use case at all.

Crypto is a solution in search of a real problem to solve. A Rube Goldberg machine to do elaborate things with no (legal) point.
> This line of reasoning is pure, 100%, cope.

What does this even mean?

There’s a meaningful difference between providing cover and reminding people that major systems like the one in question are in a different category than the average web app.

The fact that such a nationwide stoppage hasn’t occurred since 2001 speaks to the stability of these systems, and I’m not sure what you’re suggesting here.

> There is a reason this was broken and grounded flights nationwide. Providing cover for systems that allowed this to happen is not productive.

I’m not trying to sound snarky here, but things do tend to break for reasons. Are you suggesting that there is a cure?
I'm not cherry picking. Produce is up massively. Heads of broccoli, lettuce, are up at least 20% over the last year! And that's IF you can find them.
RE 2: As far as I can tell the last strategic reserve sale occurred in mid-November with no sales in December / bids for repurchases being solicited. It's possible that the supply effects continued through December, but it seems a bit tenuous without economic modeling.
David Graeber?
I remember installing Mandrake Linux on my PC (via CD ordered online as magazines still hadn't started to include the CDs). I had the dial-up line and the modem but didn't know how to set it up as I was new to both Linux and dial-up. So I used to print the steps from websites/mail groups at office to try them at home. Initially I couldn't make it work and had no choice but to wait to get to office the next day to start again.

Finally I read a bunch of docs about how to talk to the modem and eventually I managed to do the correct steps and the modem produced its sweet handshake tone and the indicator lights started to blink - it was such a pure joy to finally be online from Linux!
Nice! Knew once I thought about it that someone had to have done it already.
> It's not fair to say that cryptocurrency has had "zero benefits"

"Zero" is not fair only because the total sum effect has definitely been negative. Ignoring all the ponzis, frauds, scams and rugpulls, you can't discount the massive amounts of wasted energy.

> as it's clearly being used more and more for legitimate purposes such as zero fee international money transfers and providing a more cost-effective option for merchants compared to credit cards.

All of the major cryptocurrencies are pretty terrible at zero-fee money transfers, given the fact that none of them have zero fees and have laughable bandwidth. And that's not even considering on/offramp fees for turning crypto into usable money. There's very little proof to actual adoption in ecommerce, since most merchants "accepting crypto" actually accept money, there's just a middleman that does the conversion.
And the kicker is that you're paying for it.
So did I. Do the napping manually and let the type system actually help you instead of being invisible.
Thanks for the feedback! The TikTok style recommendation system is more of an analogy to explain how the recommendation engine will show you content that you actually want to see. Medium, for example, hasn't done a great job at this. It's true that AI writing can encourage people to churn out low quality articles, would have to think harder on that one.
I'd probably just post it here or on Reddit, there are people who'd take up the challenge for free.

The only way to make money investing in Bitcoin is to convince a greater fool to buy your coins for more than you paid for them.

It's not a Ponzi, but it has similar dynamics to a Ponzi in that you can only gain money through other people losing money.
If the only thing you eat is eggs, then you're a weird edge-case not accounted for in the standard inflation figures, of course.
In my area natural gas is 3x cheaper than electricity per kwh, so you might be right that the electric solution you outlined uses less overall energy but the end user will be punished with a higher overall utility bill.

Also, in cold climates where gas heat is typical the overall energy needed to heat the house is very large compared to typical winter electric use, which will likely anger homeowners after heat pump installation.

Well now I'm confused about which type I am. I consider myself a "simplifier", but writing your own OOP framework sounds fun I would have definitely chosen that route.
We tend to leave the mini-splits on but turned down to their minimum temperature when the wood stove is on. The fans of the mini-split stay on and circulate the heat around nicely.
To me the data is more or less meaningless. I keep a notebook of my own inflation record for food and fuel.

personally I hate it when some engineers try to pull some "advanced" design patterns that take almost the double mental effort to understand. I see it all the time and am confused with those kind of people, idk if they think they are cool or are "protecting" their position at a company by making knowledge silos and steeper learning curves.
I mean sure you can do composition pattern on anything, but honestly unless you are using some well known framework for it, it is most probably an overkill and if new person comes in it will take him almost double the time to pick it up. Now compare that to something as simple and stupid as well structured procedural.
You'd need a good volunteer team of experts willing to shepherd it first and foremost. For it to be a volunteer team you'd need everyone to ideologically believe in the idea. They should be able to build an outline, line item wise, how each dollar is spent.

I think that will help get it started. Then swap to a non-profit monthly sub model where people are simply paying for use (pay out the cost for labor and hardware at that point only). A utility bill essentially.

As you say, it's a black art.

There's no real difference in most circumstances. However, each title relates slightly differently to the function of the role.

A 'salesperson' is a person related to sales. They sell a product or service. They're on the phone or in meetings with customers/clients all the time doing that job.

An 'account executive' is a person related to an account. They handle an account on behalf of a client/customer for products/services that require them.

In reality, account management is often simply upsell of a product/service, so account executives are salespeople at the end of the day.

I think a major difference is that if someone is titled a 'salesperson'/'sales executive' then you're likely to only ever speak to them at the start of a product journey. After onboarding you'll be given to an 'account executive/manager' and they'll look after you henceforth, including any future selling of new products/features.

There's a huge overlap between the two. As individuals a salesperson is someone who wants to sell and move on, and account executive is someone who wants to form a relationship with you and keep you happy in the long-term.
in addition: During pre electricity time humen woke up after 4 hours sleep, got awake for some time and then continue to sleep. My guess, this sleep pattern is better for learning.

What does transgender have to do with it? Are you implying that transgender people are obsessed with pronouns?

In my experience trans people just want to be called by their preferred pronouns. They’re not obsessed with it. Most don’t care about being “celebrated” they just don’t want to be excluded or harassed.

I hope someday you examine your transphobia.

(disclosure: I'm about to build my own version of this kind of thing)

Reading the https://www.buildwithfern.com/docs/why-fern page, I wonder why not Smithy? They also have 1:1 IDL:AST. Is it too complex for just HTTP-JSON api?

I'm quite inclined to just follow Smithy spec (or subset), they seem to encounter many edge cases e.g. client codegen backward compatibility (https://smithy.io/2.0/spec/type-refinement-traits.html#clien...)

If it is to avoid java based tooling, it is bad to build your-fav-lang tools around its AST? Skipping the IDL + java parser coupling part.

I'm thinking if it's inevitable in this space to always have N+1 standard-ish problem. I found that what I come up with it's pretty close to Smithy.

What do you think why not Smithy?

This isn't even uncommon. Almost every Honda sold for a while has been a L2 system that will take over in certain ways if the car believes a crash is imminent, such as a car suddenly breaking.

It's so less sexy people don't know that millions of vehicles are sold this way...
The same reason that has been true since the beginning of civilization - resources are limited.

Also, not all cultures align. Hundreds of millions of people are very much against some of the values that you may hold dear. If enough of them become your neighbors, you may be forced to align to their values.
How's your Finnish? https://cooperandhunter.com/split/files/docs/support_2019020... magazine review from 2019 I think. Says at -20F you still get around 3x COP energy ratio. On the other hand the air to air heat pumps they are testing cost three times as much as a regular one. Unfortunately they say the worst temperature is just above freezing where the air can still hold plenty of damp but quickly be cooled below freezing to turn the damp to ice... Cold but damp being the description of British winter. The American idea of winter air cracking with dryness and running a humidifier indoors doesn't really exist here. They are currently free of sales tax in the uk though. Tricky to work out which models are designed towards heating rather than cooling. Hopefull though but still begs the question if they are so great why are most people still buying night storage heaters and such? Just a lack of skills? Annoyingly they are only £600 for a decent japanese one and connected a £90 vacuum pump for half an hour, look at the guage to see if its holding a vacuum and then turn an allen key to release the gas. It looks not too hard but we are not allowed to buy them incase we pollute the enviroment with refrigerant, just out of reach...
The World Bank's latest Global Economic Prospects report paints a grim picture for the global economy in 2023 and 2024. Global growth is slowing sharply due to elevated inflation, higher interest rates, reduced investment, and geopolitical tensions. Growth in advanced economies is projected to slow to 0.5% in 2023, while growth in emerging market and developing economies is expected to slow to just 2.7%. Per-capita income growth in emerging market and developing economies is projected to average just 2.8%, and in Sub-Saharan Africa, growth in per capita income is expected to average just 1.2%.

Well, another option is that the government could pay for Amtrak’s track the way they do for roads. We don't make car manufacturers or taxi/bus companies pay for the roads, so I don't see why it's on Amtrak to pay for their own rail.
Paul Bennewitz & Richard Doty

Bennewitz detailed his assertions to the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, who regarded him as a deluded paranoid. UFOlogist William Moore claims that he tried to push Bennewitz, who had been in a mental health facility on three occasions after suffering severe delusional paranoia, into a mental breakdown by feeding him false information about aliens.[1] In 1988, his family checked him into a psychiatric facility.[3] Former special agent for the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations Richard Doty claimed that in the 1980s he was tasked with hoaxing documents and feeding false information to UFO researchers, including Bennewitz.[4] Richard Doty is featured in the 2013 documentary "Mirage Men", a film alleging "how the U.S. government created a myth that took over the world. UFOs, and weapons of mass deception."[5]

> That's why it's actually interesting.

No, what grabbed you attention is that their is some governmental authority behind this. If that wasn't the case, your comment reading as someone whose interest in UFO emerged from the Navy stories, you wouldn't bat an eyelid.
Correct, it's never come up in my life, although I've heard 'ma am' awkwardly on the phone once or twice. It's hardly worth losing sleep over much less adding pronouns to user profiles. It's better off optional for those who want the message to be seen that it's important to them.
Aviation Groups Have Complained for Years About Outdated FAA Alert System
It's ridiculous! Even more so because the underlying patented materials tech has been timing out on the shelf gathering dust for over a decade.

All companies working in the XR/AR/VR/ghost-in-the-snowcrash-shell-gargoyle space need to do in order to develop something widely accessible/affordable, mass-producible and mass-market adoptable while operating within the constraints of currently viable, high yield, low loss rate fabrication feasible tech is.... shoot for wearable display glasses that are in the product line's slimmest tier simply sunshade size, and at the beefiest, a ski-gogglesque form factor. They do this by stopping trying to jam everything and the GPU-plated kitchen sink into the headset.

Restrict design scope of the HUD-glasses to a binocular retina-or-better-resolution MEMS-based display, and maybe a few small, lightweight multispectral sensors and an accelerometer for environment mapping and multi-axis positioning.

Everything else can be connected via a clipped on snagsafe/magsafe cable from a waist, upper arm or torso wearable primary device unit encompassing main battery, SoC, storage, etc; and this could feasibly be the user's next-gen upgrade smartphone.
Yeah glad you’re enjoying vr but as someone that bought a vive in 2016 there is an embarrassing lack of quality software. I just looked at the top games 2023 article and literally every single one has been out for 2 years AND HL:Alyx is still the best / possible the only true ‘AAA’ vr game released to date.

Until the software gets moving with something truly interesting vr is pretty much a gimmick at this point.

I hold out small hope that when Nintendo and maybe Sony get really serious about vr, then we’ll get to some truly fun, unique and new game mechanics / experiences.
Same thing. I thought this was going to be about global warming and dikes or something.

The problem is that spelling out complicated things is hard. Take the law for example - in theory we have a coherent code that specifies exactly what things are crimes and the appropriate methods of dealing with them. In practice, it takes teams of highly trained professionals and an elaborate system of courts to clarify what these laws mean in all but the most trivial cases.

Generally you need some flexibility to handle slight variations in circumstance whenever making a decision, and at times things come down to judgement calls that can not be turned into an algorithm. But bureaucracies don't like empowering their workers to make decisions, and so you get ever more conoluted instructions to shift the decision making process higher up the ladder.

I think it's way worse than adding complexity and bloat. There are processes that specifically prevent anyone from understanding or owning the system. The complexity and bloat is a side product of the fact that the work was siloedd, contracted out, and everyone washed their hands off the result. Which also takes exponentially more time and people.

Its optimized for inefficiency.
