that's true but a physical switch needs to be placed and soldered while the soft on/off just needs to be placed atop it on the traces on the pcb. cost just probably was the biggest issue.
These would be "gender-critical" (or "TERF" or British--sorry, not necessarily that last one) students.

It feels like they'd be the ones violating the non-aggression principle here. They'd be offended at the idea that acknowledging the concept of gender as distinct from sex to ease trans students' dysphoria runs against their concept of gender as alloyed to sex (which isn't a thing that causes dysphoria to them; it's just a political stance). Dysphoria is a thing that causes people to hate, and sometimes kill, themselves. Political objections don't do that, to my knowledge.
In other countries the population will unite after natural disasters, and leadership is usually given credit for the response as long as they continue support for local response efforts set up in the immediate aftermath. Why would popularity of the leader drop so quickly due to an earthquake? It's been what 36 hours. At this point almost all committed resources will still be highly local...
Yeah, you’re right of course about progressive overload being necessary for gains. You don’t need to count reps every workout to achieve it though. If you listen to your body and go to form breakdown, are consistent, and eat/sleep well, both the number of reps and weight you can do will naturally go up over time. It’s not at all linear though—depending on biorhythms, there will be ups and downs in the short term. My point is mainly not to sweat it on the many ‘off’ days when you can’t get a PR or might be well below. These are a normal part of the process. The important thing on these days is to just put the work in.

I am with you.

I live on a small remote island. Over the past number of years there has been a boom in heat-pumps here due to government subsidies. A local company appeared and was happy to fill the demand for new units. Eventually the new installs dried up and the company disappeared.

This winter there has been a number of desperate pleas on facebook for people seeking repairs on their heat pumps and split units. Unfortunately, the nearest company who can service these units is a half day ferry away.
Data Privacy Is Now a Must-Hit US State of the Union Topic
I'm on the same boat since months...

I created a little SaaS product with some HTML, VueJS 3 and Laravel for fun. No code reviews needed here. Also not my daily stack. Was quit funny ;). I have to mention I don't like JS very much and I was never a Frontend guy, but I gave VueJS a try. And I think somehow I finally found something to build nice Webpages without digging into React or using jQuery for now.

It was great relief and somehow I became a little aware that programming in the corporate world is relatively often just no fun. No idea what I'm doing with the knowledge currently. Cheer up and try to do some sports. I know, an often used advice, but it helps.

Go with Flutter. If you want, you can use Riverpod + GoRouter.

You will need a week or two learning curve if you are really good at picking up things. After that, the noise will fade away. You will be able to fully focus on building stuff and have fun.

> Should be easy to show us some major examples on the left then. I can't think of a single governor moving the way Abbott and DeSantis are.

It is. How many books that are anathema to the left do you think you'd find in a school library (e.g. something skeptical about transgenderism)? If you look at library weeding criteria, you'll typically find language about removing books that are now politically incorrect (though they wouldn't use that term).

It's also a mistake to insist on exact symmetry. My understanding is the left is quite over-represented in the librarian profession as a whole, and "book ban" is misleadingly defined as overriding the choices of those public employees:

> It is important to recognize that books available in schools, whether in a school or classroom library, or as part of a curriculum, were selected by librarians and educators as part of the educational offerings to students. Book bans occur when those choices are overridden by school boards, administrators, teachers, or even politicians, on the basis of a particular book’s content (https://pen.org/report/banned-usa-growing-movement-to-censor...).

If a different situation were true (e.g. conservative Christians were quite over-represented in the librarian profession), I'm absolutely certain you'd see political responses from liberal government authorities.

> 1. You won't regret going to a 4-day work-week even if you do nothing that makes you money with the extra time. My wife did it over a year ago and she still talks about how it's the best thing ever and can never go back. We are a bit poorer, but quality of life went like 300x for that one extra weekend day.

I think the huge increase in QOL is, in part, because on most weekends, 2 days is just barely enough to catch up on the shit you need to do but were deferring through the week, get things in order for the next week, take a quick breath, and then dive straight into the next work-week. It's barely even time off. It also means you can't travel anywhere (to visit family, just a short vacation, whatever) and have a whole day away that's not also a travel day, unless you leave late on Friday and aren't going far.

A three-day weekend mean you can usually get at least one actual day off most weeks, versus an average of nearly zero entire or almost-entire days off with a two-day weekend. It also opens up a ton more options for short get-aways, and leaves more room for recovery and relaxation after any activities you engage in, making the whole thing far more relaxing and cutting out some of the urgency.

I've gotten cynical about these AI features. I've seen that they try to outsmart me by changing my query which 95% of the time just leads to worse results. Bing is even worse than Google in this regard where I quote every word in my query and they still ignore my terms. It drives me nuts. If they want to use AI for ranking great, if the page doesn't contain my quoted terms stop including it!
I relate to this so much!

What I’ve been enjoying A TON lately is embedded development for hobby. Not Arduino, but bare metal, flipping registers and configuring devices in a STM32, writing linker scripts and scripting gdb.

It feels awesome to understand a system completely (sort of). I’m writing C but I also wrote the assembly that bootstraps my C environment and calls main()

That combined with some reverse engineering to figure out the MIDI protocol and a buzzer and LED and I’ve made a little instrument that I can play with my keyboard!

Next I’m planning to understand how USB works and maybe make the little instrument controllable over USB? Who knows!

I’ve realized that what I enjoy about programming is the puzzle, the thing that I don’t know, and then learning it, and then doing something fun with it.

Wish you the best and tons of fun in your journey!
This is some sort of blame game? Why stop there? Why don’t we fire the whole chain of management, including the top guy, AND let all these people that were laid of KEEP their jobs instead.

No need to be cynical or expect it to be slow. Multiple companies will leap at this precident if it is set. They've attempted to do it in the past a few times, but right to repair laws and such have kept them away.

From a deleted comment I liked here from @stabbles:

> some things can be represented in finite digits in base x but require infinite digits in base y.

Very good summary. Binary to decimal is very straightforward until fractions require infinite digits. I don’t think dec64[1] is even a tradeoff—it’s just better. The significand stays a normal binary number— but it encodes the decimal point in gasp decimal. No infinities required for the numeric language that we all think in.

Rules 2-6 are excellent for beginning writers, and I think neatly summarise how to make your writing concise and understandable. Rule 1 is about giving your writing flavour, and is way harder, even for experienced writers. Rule 1 is really what separates expert writers from novices.

Christopher Hitchens wrote a book on Orwell and spoke at length about his rules for writing on many occasions. You can also see the rules being applied in his written and verbal work.

Manjaro w/ KDE was my daily driver OS for several years before I switched to EndeavourOS w/ KDE a few months ago. The only major difference between the two that makes EndeavourOS more "terminal centric" is that you have to use the CLIs pacman and yay for installing packages, as Pamac the GUI package manager is something Manjaro provides. That said, I highly recommend making the switch and think with some small adjustments, you'll feel right at home.
The calculated number is indeed 56.99999999999999289457264239899814128875732421875 which is not same to 57 (IEEE 754 binary32 or binary64 can represent this integer exactly). You can verify this with the following:

printf("%f\n", 57.0 / 100.0 * 100.0 - 57.0);

It just happens that `%f` in C defaults to 6 fractional digits.
In JavaScript this is best done using linters to warn against deprecated features.

“Use strict” was necessary because it changed runtime semantics in a non-backwards compatible way. But browser vendors does not like to support multiple incompatible modes, it is much preferrable to introduce improvents in a backwards-compatible manner.
Moving from burning fuel oil for heating to high efficiency heat pumps powered partly by nuclear seems like a really good thing for lots of reasons.

Also they used to burn fuel oil all year round for electricity, now its just the winter demand peaks. A positive trend.

edit: I also don't understand how 7% can be more than average contribution from wind, since yearly it contributes more like a quarter?

edit: I think(?) the explanation for the discrepancy is comparing Maine to stats from the Wider New England grid. Hence 24% nuclear.

Can I have some kind of direct contact with you? Email, Twitter DM, Telegram, heck, I would download some new kind of app just to have some conversations.
I agree with you, but Google is also a leading player in the conversational interface ("Ok Google")and in business software. Two areas where language models could have a huge impact.

Is Google deliberately slowing down any major improvements in these areas because they are petrified about the idea of losing revenue in their ad business?
Maybe commercial banks have too much power, but once I do get my cash out of the bank and into my hands I can do whatever I want with it. The government can't suddenly tell me "We saw what you did - your money is no good here".
In that case, Google is not returning a link to a source. That does not remove the source nor prevent others from creating pages which describe or link to it and also get indexed.

Is still think the processes wrapped around query processing and answer returning will be similar.

At the same time, what is to prevent ChatGPT from hallucinating anyone losing their cool at a PTA meeting? How would you differentiate the cases of recall vs make believe?

Suffice it to say, LLMs present additional dimensions of complexity. We as humans have to do some soul searching instead of just blaming big tech or AI. After all, we are the ones who created the content, biases, and patterns these things learn from.

It also shows how the web (and technology in general) would be a lot more better for us if we decided to support these people just a little bit, instead of letting ourselves be exploited by Big Tech in exchange of "free" stuff.

The biggest issue with Peertube/Youtube is related to creators and how they get paid for content they create.

Youtube has an avenue for that to happen, and Peertube doesn't, or at least in a way that works.

Unless Peertube wants to just be "the place you host your videos from other platforms as a backup" something would have to be done.
The % is related to the amount of time you spent in a given app (and how much battery it consumes in that period). If you don't use your browser, then of course, you will not see battery use allocated to it.

The collective can make wrong decisions that doesnt take away from the fact that the laws and its people are sovereign over its territory.
Off topic but perhaps not completely since we're discussing clear written expression: "died in an car accident" is the default rendering of such an event in news reports, yet "died in a car crash" is more accurate. What makes a crash an "accident" by default? I have long believed this is powerful manipulation by the car and oil industries to lesson the impact — as it were — of the word "crash."
> Doesn't blocking scientific theory affect a large amount of people and not the head of this regents board?

Yes. The goal of the legislature is to erode authority of that section of the state constitution.

Absolutely not. That includes actions taken by the Board of Regents in direct opposition to public ballot initiatives.

I'm a PhD research scientist at one of the big public institutions in Montana.

>Telling us that this internal state dispute is a justification for something like this is just too much. You also speak about Representatives Emrich having no choice as if he some animal. This is a person who people voted for in your state.

I never say it's justified, just predictable. The Board acted unilaterally and in opposition to public ballot measures. The legislature is responding exactly how it was predicted. Everyone loses. Emrich having no choice I'm not sure what you mean. I'm saying this bill would not have been submitted if the legislature didn't have an axe to grind against the Board. Perhaps you misunderstood the terminology "lose-lose"?

Not sure why this is phrased as a question, since you apparently just explained to me in ample detail what is wrong with me.
