You should expect this impression to become more intense. How else will you heat your home without emitting greenhouse gasses? Electric space heaters are vastly inferior for obvious reasons. Everything else is out because we eventually need to achieve (net) zero emissions. And since there are a lot of gas and oil heaters to be replaced, heat pumps will only increase in demand.
A few years ago I met up with someone who just graduated and who's only experience with programming was MATLAB during his degree. To my surprise he'd been hired to use Rust and was telling me how great the recently released async was.
> Today you can do all this with GnuPG though admittedly this is a rotting, buggy, and badly maintained c codebase.

I don't understand why this would be called "rotting". Sure, it's old, but it's actively maintained by its original author, a Gmbh has been established around its maintenance and it retains a few developers for the purpose.

We do not call the Linux operating system rotting, which is a project in a similar position to gpg, nor do we call the git project rotting. All of these are old C code bases but are actively maintained. They are in c, but they've squashed a lifetime's worth of bugs. Git is notoriously bad on the command line to use, but we still use both gpg and git because they're both useful and super stable. Calling something rotting just because it's not written in Rust ignores the years and years that their maintainers have put into it.

This is to say nothing of geopolitics. It's difficult for Europe to trust anything made in America. It was for this reason that Richard Stallman encouraged Germans to make encryption software, the import of which America allowed but the import of American encryption software in the Germany was illegal. This is why Werner Koch started gpg. Sequoia seems to be made by a foundation based in America. I doubt a significant following in Europe will pick it up.

Too often this sensitive topic is ignored, particularly with regard to encryption. Just recently gitea was taken over by an American corporation. The project was soft forked because the community was outraged. But they didn't change the license to AGPL, they just maintain the soft fork under a European company. The problem clearly isn't the license then, it's the country of origin. And that's just for source control.

Using the original gpg is a great way to show more international unity, but we all know that's a secondary reason to use software. The primary reason is that it's a quality piece of work that will be very difficult to reproduce.

And you'll gain an understanding as to why companies are doing it. The companies are covering their arses as much as possible because there have been instances where they've also been stung when the contractor has been caught out by the tax man. The middleman company is basically playing the role of insurance for the corporation.

> What really stands out is XML Schema. It is so much more powerful and precise compared to Json Schema.

As someone who was involved in making XML based international standards (HR-XML), I think what made JSON great was that it was so simple that there was initially no industry to be made out of making schema. XML had so many ways to do things a schema was needed. JSON? Not so much.
UK web dev freelancer here. I think it very much depends on the kind of organisations you want to work for. I went solo in 2016 as a self-employed person and never had any trouble accessing clients, who in my case are typically a mix of small digital agencies and small non-technical businesses with no in-house technical resource. I incorporated a company last year in order to firewall my work from my personal affairs, and you may find some companies that will only work with limited companies, but I haven't had that problem so far. If you want to work for big corporations I expect you will run into such issues or the problem you describe yourself. However it's definitely worth approaching different shapes/sizes of business. As another commenter mentioned, you should definitely be aware of the ramifications of the IR35 regulation as this will probably shape the sort of work available to you. Some people work with "umbrella companies" in order to be able to fit better within the constraints of IR35.

All told I've never looked back after ~7 years of doing this, and while job security can obviously be an issue, the comparative flexibility and freedom over your work/life balance etc more than makes up for it. Good luck!
Oh man I thought it was 4K as in resolution and I was confused and intrigued.
There are legitimate reasons for requiring an email, e.g. increasing the difficult of making bots and for banned people to make a new account.
I think the underlying reason for it is that lots of engineering types got air quality sensors during corona, and noticed PM levels spiking from cooking. Or just people getting more IAC-conscious in general.

This technology connections YouTuber I've seen pop up in lots of discussions on these topics.
YES. There is a massive electrification push right now because electric items can be fed from "sustainable" things like wind/dam/solar and don't emit CO or CO2 in operation.

Heat pumps are also inexpensive on initial cost and less expensive than straight AC with gas heat.

They are also low maintenance in comparison to straight AC with gas heat.

Very popular units in southern US.
I see this as well and it looks to be multiple people buying in to the campaign, especially here on HN.

Having lived in a new, high end apartment that had a heat pump for both heating and cooling for 3 years, I am very unimpressed with the tech. Running nonstop, couldn't heat/cool above/below a certain threshold. Electric bill very high. Clogged and broke a lot. If the general radiant heat and cooling from being in large building didn't exist, I couldn't see this working halfway decent in any place in the midwest. This might work for areas with less variable temperature ranges but for the midwest USA, not seeing it.

As soon as you're saying something that isn't true.

The guidance to "present yourself as bigger than you are" isn't bad, but it's not going to take any adult long to figure out that the same guy who responds to technical questions is the same one who submits invoices and receives tax paperwork.

That sort of "fake it 'til you make it" manipulation is part of the value that these middlemen provide. The hiring company gets a disposable individual contributor and the middleman puts up with silliness like what's described here.

If someone lied to get your business then you can be confident that they'll lie to keep it.

Right. free as in beer, not as in "Free".
Just the hivemind I guess, doesn't feel coordinated to me but rather obvious. In my country the waiting time for heat pumps is now over a year. People can't stop talking about energy, the war and their utility bills. Heat pumps are very on topic.

Any reasons to change my mind?

You mean you get different earphones entirely that are clones of Airpods Pro from china?
Figure out the minimum flow (supply) temperature that can meet your building heat loss on the design day. If you have enough radiation, you might be able to get by with 135°F flow.

I have baseboard in the attic and cast iron rads on the main level. I have the flow set to 126°F until the outside air temp drops below 30°F and then I increase by 2°F for every 4°F change in OAT. So at 2°F OAT, I have 140°F flow.

That’s enough to maintain temp in my fairly poorly insulated 1920s house near Boston. It’s enough to slowly recover temp as well.

140°F is a stretch for air to water heat pumps, but you could reasonably use an A2W for most of the year and supplement with a 9kW (31KBTU/hr) electric boiler as emergency supplemental heat and use that a couple days per year.

What killed it for me (and the reason I have a fairly new gas boiler installed) is the upfront cost was utterly uncompetitive.

If you have a condensing boiler, set the high-limit or flow temp to 130-135°F and see how your house handles it on the cold days. You can measure and calculate all you want, but nothing beats trying it.
I wonder which is the cause and which is the effect. Aren’t neural pathways changed by experience?

>Plenty of McKinsey consultants around to make sure governments don't use too much FOSS to keep paying those nice license fees to MS.

Maybe, but remember that Ursula von der Leyen herself has been advocating for a while for EU's "digital sovereignty" (not having to depend on products and services form non-EU countries) and the easiest way to achieve that would be to heavily rely on FOSS.

You could deduce where people came from by how they looked because the world was much more inbred and isolated in the past. As such you could correlate physical characteristic with cultural upbringings and thus worldviews.

Yeah. If some people came together at Davos or whatever and decided "we need to promote heat pumps!", you can be sure they would mess it up. Consent can maybe be manufactured. Enthusiasm is organic, for good and bad.
well, I'd first need to see that it had a Theory of Feet... ;-)

More seriously, that it can actually understand and wield abstract concepts. Can it accurately and repeatedly understand that "the foot attaches to the shin bone, which attaches to the thigh bone, which attaches to the hip bone...", and that these have certain degrees of freedom, but not others, and that one foot goes in front of the other, and to easily and reliably distinguish a normal walk from a silly walk . . .

Yes, these are different levels of abstraction, especially the last one, and they need to be very accurate to even reach a young child's level of understanding, and this is just one branch of a branch of a branch in the entire fractal pattern of understanding that is necessary for a more general intelligence.

Once that is in place, and it can show evidence that it can model it's own mind, then it might be able to model someone else's mind.

While the statistical 'abstraction' and remixing seen in these "AI" systems is sometimes impressive and useful, it is frequently revealed that there is utterly no conceptual understanding beneath it. It is merely a statistical re-mixer abstracting patterns of words that occur near other words, remixing them and filtering for grammatical output.

It hasn't got a theory of anything, nevermind a theory of mind.

My experience has been most JIRA replacements drop a lot of key features. Yes they are simpler. But a few weeks in you feel the missing features.

Best of luck with this and hope you solved that problem :)
At least in NYC, new installations of gas and oil boilers for building and water heating will be regulated away in favor of electric-heating means (like heat pumps) by 2025: https://www.silive.com/news/2022/12/new-yorks-new-roadmap-to...

This is, of course, the regulation as it stands today; things can always change. Additionally NYC alone likely doesn't account for the attention. But, other metros and municipalities could have similar legislation.

As a hobby software engineer who mostly writes ETL jobs in Python the biggest selling point of Rust is Cargo. I usually use a lot of .clone() in my code and most of my fields are Strings which would make a seasoned Rust/C++ laugh at the code. However, the performance of novice Rust beats 10+ years of experience Python by a factor of 10 (favouring Rust).

With Cargo I can build code that just runs. With Python it is always a gamble. Different arch? You need to install different packages to compile the C/C++/Fortran code if the library author did not care about WHL. Starting up an application always a gamble, do we have all the deps? Did we miss some?

And so on. With Rust + Cargo I have confidence that the executable runs. Yes, the compilation is an extra step, but I would have that trade every single time for extra safety and reliability.
When I did freelance all big US companies forced me to go through an “approved vendor”. Most of them offered only W2 and would take a huge 30% or more cut. In the end I found one vendor that only took a 3% cut and otherwise left me alone. I think for the big companies it just makes accounting easier if they go through less vendors.

Joking aside, can I ask two things? 1. Do you actually believe strongly in the concept of free will? And 2. Are you at least moderately successful in life?

I've found that successful people generally don't like the idea that their achievements might not be the product of their own clever and freely made choices.
> All text encoded file formats share this characteristic, and can only be parsed linearly. If you move across to the world of binary file formats, it's extremely common for them to have indexes of offsets so a parser can navigate a tree-like structure in tree order without having to fully parse it, along with other types of non-linear data structures.

You don't always have the luxury of randomly accessing a file (obvious example: shell pipelines with a producer and consumer exchanging lots of temporary data), so taking advantage of indexing might require saving a temporary file and stalling processing until the file is ready.

Personally, I'm used to parsing large XML files with event-based APIs and throwing away data aggressively, keeping in memory only one unfinished element of interest, the stack of its ancestors, and my collected data (instead of a DOM for the whole document).
This place if overcrowded with solution that provide the same benefits than yours, you should clearly put a section describing the benefits of "Why us instead of X" - because it's not clear what this project brings new to the table.
I mean - I think it just depends heavily on what game you're playing.

If I'm playing a game designed around a console experience, I want the sticks - they feel natural in that space in a way that the touchpads don't compare with.

If I'm playing a game designed for a mouse and keyboard... I definitely don't want the sticks. I want the touchpads (at least one of them). The sticks feel horrible as a mouse for these games (although sometimes one can replace WASD panning controls)

Basically - games like Rimworld/Dwarf Fortress DO NOT WORK without the touchpads. Period. The touchpads are not "alternative"... the touchpads are the reason the deck can make those games playable.
Honestly I don't agree with you, the abstract concept behind XML is just to provide a metalanguage for the representation of hierarchical data, and that's exactly what JSON and YAML do. They are completely interchangeable. XML is the general case for hierarchical data and provides tools for this general case. JSON got closer to the representation of list and hashmaps, but I see this as a mere convenience.

>This is why there is no xslt equivalent (although you could argue that jq is that) and the various json schema solutions don't see much adoption, despite json being almost as old as XML at this point.

I think it's incorrect to part from the assumption that nobody's gonna need a schema language, a query language, a mapping language or whatever. For the json schema this is blatantly untrue and you see many people creating their own version of a json schema because it's really needed. With XSLT you have a language for processing XML that's written in XML itself, what I find pretty nice. We're not gonna see a YAML processing language written in YAML any time soon though.

Always nice to see something that isn't Jira ;)

Is there any plan for Jira Server/Cloud import? I think the major roadblock for a lot of people moving away from those platforms is that most competitors either don't support project import at all, or don't correctly deal with custom fields, workflows, etc.
In some nations some political decisions are consensus (e.g. NHS in UK, Russia as an enemy in Ukraine)

Then I guess it's alright, then.
I don’t know neuroscience. I do know that sometimes there is so little known about a given area that one has to grasp at straws so to speak. You look for clues and present the findings. I don’t know what one does with the data represented. It appears to me that the data doesn’t represent a function. There’s a lot of “verticality” in the data. It’s obviously not exponential, logarithmic, or parabolic or some other higher degree polynomial. So how does one fit such data? I don’t know. Is it dumb to use linear fit? Or is it common practice with such data?
Why are there no reminders here about the difference between open source and free (= libre) software ?

It's specifically an important feature of libre software that others are free to resell or to make money from support of your own software : this is seen as a good thing because distribution (and support) are not free for the distributor (though I guess much less relevant in a world with widespread high speed Internet and peer to peer distribution software ?) (and supporter).
Sometimes it feels that way, given how many ads I wade through for the good stuff.
I hadn’t considered this angle. Maybe using permissive licenses will improve business adoption.
GA does not fly inverted; elevation changes are influencing mostly the air mixture. Just saying, not contradicting.
RiotJS as well.
Things like Solid (https://www.solidjs.com/) also have no virtual DOM, and the improvements are in higher ceiling for performance, lower memory usage, simpler DX (components are not re-executed, there aren't any dependency arrays anywhere), easy high performance (no useRef this and useRef that to make things fast, no useCallback, no React.memo, these things are just obsolete).
Just gotta write your CSS carefully. It's not easy, it takes time to learn, but so does the constant juggling that is the React world. At least the first one is faster and won't be out of fashion in 5 years, since it hasn't been in a decade.

I also find separation of concerns conceptually more sound and powerful.

Minix is BSD licensed and is present in Intel CPUs[0]. So I think it would be a toss-up as to whether BSD or GPL-licenses OSes are more widely used overall. To be clear, I'm making no comment on whether Intel using Minix is a good thing for their customers, but it's likely that the BSD license was what Intel wanted and caused it to become the most widely used OS few people know about.

This is the reason.

If they contract with a freelancer directly, and that freelancer has no other gigs, then the freelancer will be considered as another employee for tax, benefits and liability purposes.

If they contract a freelancer from a consulting company, the consulting company takes the employment burden.

You can get around this by creating your own company, but there are lots of complications for it.

I'm not sure if they still exist (been a while since I did this) but you used to be able to join an "umbrella company"[0] which was set up and managed by an accountancy firm and employed a small number of contractors/freelancers, which worked well.

Gitflow is also solution to problem few teams actually have.

It is made to have few long term release versions, say you're making a database and need to support customer being major version or two behind for some years.

But if you are just making app for a client you really need just "this is released as stable and running in prod" and some flavours of dev/test environment and that doesn't need much of model to work at all, just prod/test branch with features never landing directly on prod is good enough.
