Those kind of light receptors don't have the lenses that cause our eyes to flip the image. They are omnidirectional and usually not even on the surface of the critter. Just a small bag of rhodopsin that triggers a nerve to depolarize. I think the geometric arguments in the article make sense in that context as well, the same way they would for a chemotactic or pressure sensor.

I'm assuming you haven't seen people struggling with discrimination, especially trans people in conservative cities, trying to find these easy-to-get jobs which offer "good work for good pay". If you have suggestions of actual places in Chattanooga that would hire her yesterday and start payments in a week, I'm sure OP would be happy to pass that along.

Otherwise, please consider how trans people might be limited by obstacles that cis people don't even realize exist.
I noticed this at 2600 meetings: "I'm so-and-so, I hack on $technology and I like to teach $interest", and some would mention their employer as an aside, but some wouldn't.

Whereas at tech-bro meetups: "I'm so-and-so, I work for $employer in the $technology group".
Some of these are good examples and some are not.

women not being able to vote is not an example of authoritarianism in the US. Neither is the 18th amendment. These were democratically selected and the US did not appear to resemble an authoritarian regime at the time. Note that using authority is not the same as being authoritarian. The examples you gave from 1942 onward are though. It should be noted that the FBI was also famously involved in a number of illegal activities[1] See [2] for authoritarianism.

Capacitive droppers are the most reliable for LED bulbs in my experience, because they are very simple and there's not much to go wrong. It's usually the IC-based ones that die first.
Thank you for sharing, that was nice. Evoked a flurry of sentiments for me - from the 80s nostalgia, childhood and flashback of my dad's office, to a realization of time passed by, growing older and supposedly more wise (but am I).
> I started with various sizes of buck converters, but it seems that they are too noisy and get blown out by voltage spikes or dips when the inverter kicks in or cuts off.

Dips shouldn't kill it (unless it's inherently unstable) but spikes definitely can.

Spikes can be addressed with appropriate input protection. A big, low-value resistor with a TVS behind it should take care of spikes.

But this shouldn't be a difficult problem to solve. Converting 48V to ~5V is extremely common in PoE equipment. There are numerous off the shelf designs designed for it. It's likely you were looking in the wrong place (e.g. searching for "buck" instead of "flyback").

Yeah honestly maybe I am feeling a bit jaded by a career in software development with jira and other bs. It doesnt feel like engineering to me :)

Well I was raised in French and my dad would use this expression from time to time. (I didn't read the whole wiki page, I'm just answering based on my experience)

It meant "being resourceful" & ingenious. Don't always expect someone else to help you in order to achieve something, or don't just give up at the first problem you encounter.

e.g. Something is heavy to lift and you expected someone stronger to be there to help you. Well you can borrow a lift, you can call someone else and lift it together, try to come up with some kind of lever, etc

Another example: Don't wait for someone to explain something you don't understand, when you could be looking it up by yourself on the internet (sorry that one was an easy joke ;) )
I was assuming that readers would apply at least a modicum of intelligence and common sense to what I posted, given the context of the overall discussion. Evidently, at least for some readers, I assumed too much.
Maybe 300mA order of magnitude is more common than 3A, but it's not inconceivable. Lots of designs wake up, burst some RF data at a few hundred mA transceiver load for a few tens of microseconds, then go back to sleep for another few seconds. There are some long-interval scientific instruments that need high-speed ADCs or DACs on battery power in remote locations, which might get into higher current than a few hundred mA. Some deep space crafts can sleep at very low power and run their transmitters at comparable currents. It's very situational.
If op is in Phoenix proper (which is implied by the historic district), the water comes from the salt river, which now has all 3 reservoirs full upstream of the city.

Additionally, the Sonoran desert is a monsoonal one, so it receives a deluge of water during particular times of the year.

There is a massive amount of water waste in Arizona, but it’s in agriculture, not lawns.
> It is not obvious whether that space even would be trans friendly.

It’s probably safe to assume most places are “trans friendly” these days — nobody wants the twitter mob[0] after them for <whatever>.

—edit—

And before I get dogpiled I should say that I mean regular people don’t care not politically motivated health care debates like in other comments.
This has some value in reinforcing that decimal number representation is just a shorthand for polynomials but definitely misguided as a "normal" method of addition.
50 weeks at 15 dollars an hour, 40 hours a week is $30k.

I imagine there are better paying jobs but I do think that $40k is not an immediately accessible thing. Though to your point 15 seems in line with what’s on indeed for Chattanooga, many jobs are under that line as well (cashier stuff for $11 or $12), so it might be worth adjusting your preconceptions about the yearly wages that these positons offer.
> it could be similar

You evidently are not familiar with how things like bridges get built and how signoffs by engineers of record are made. Yes, you'll get caught, and yes, you'll receive the harshest punishment.
Oh that would suck. I've had an iPhone since the week they were first released, but never associated an Apple ID with one. My whole beef with the App Store is it requires telling Apple who I am. If you have to associate your phone with an Apple ID to get sideloading then this is hardly progress for me.
That's a reasonable and fair argument I can accept.

However, I think the idea of the "anti-renewablist" is misguided. There are sceptics who fear advancements for the sake of advancement alone. Plastics are one perfect example (PFAS, PBA, etc). We are only beginning to understand how horribly these things disrupt organic chemical & hormonal balance. Scepticism is not your enemy.
you can download the files from the garmin using usb and the format of the activity files is documented publicly. There's an SDK and some utilities to convert to csv/tsv too.
That was just a link to the data. This was my analysis.

I challenge you to give one. You evidently are not familiar with how signoffs by engineers of record are made for structures like bridges.
Boiling doesn't even kill most things. I worked in a biolab for a while and used an autoclave to sterilize objects. It basically means we pressure cooked stuff at 130°C for 45min or so. And even that doesn't destroy some dangerous stuff like prions.
Great idea, I definitely like taking a multi-channel approach.

Thank you so much!
I think each layer of the interior atmosphere of a gas giant is composed differently - like, it’s not as simple as “the hydrogen layer floats on top of the helium layer”, but that gives the general idea, right?

If you find some way of shining a light or radio wave that passes through one layer and reflects off the next, you could map that boundary. I can only imagine the turbulent boundary between the two layers being one of the most beautiful sights imaginable. Endless noise on a cosmic scale, patterned first by fluid dynamics, then successively by other phenomena of physics.
>also surprising to me is that there are things like Duolingo podcast, but that this is not accessible in-app

It's worse. It used to be that the iOS app, at least, had podcasts in it, and you could listen to them to get points. It was great, though they only added a limited number, and eventually just dropped it. I'm a fan of immersive learning, and they _removed_ out an immersive learning tool that was actually pretty effective.
Seems like it refers to bio-energy exchange - the mosquitos eat something, other animals eat the mosquitos. Another way of saying they are a major part of the food chain.
Well, this is quite immature (on brand) but very funny.
E=mc^2. If you have enough energy, in any form, it is equivalent to mass and should disturb spacetime equivalently.

Light can also be used to push objects. Interestingly, sunlight exerts a pressure of 6.56e-10 [psi = lbs/in^2] or 4.53e-6 [N/m^2] on the Earth. This is roughly 5.75e8 [N] or 46 Space Shuttle SRBs. The gravitational force between the Earth and Sun is 3.52e22 [N], or + ~14 orders-of-magnitude.

Objects on Earth at the rotational equator at MSL weigh 0.2% less than at the rotational poles due to the centrifugal force.
Well...

Serve a "shitty" page by default, redirect with JS to "enriched" page. Or tinker with server configuration to depend on 'Host: nojs.plz.fqdn'.
I have an older model but I definitely can download the fit files over usb and using the garmin provided information/sdk to write programs to read the files. or just convert to tsv/csv using their provided utilities. if you can't use usb, you may be able to use bluetooth.
The city ordinances can have different rules for historic preservation districts. Many restrict fences just to ensure people don’t block off the view.

Given your statement confusing that with HOAs, I would recommend reading up on the Phoenix rules for historic preservation districts to make sure there aren’t any other lurking differences you assumed weren’t there.

It's true that lives hang in the balance in those forms of engineering, but there are a lot of forms of engineering that are low-stakes, like mechanical engineering of HVAC systems in an office, or audio engineering of a musical recording, where the stakes are not far off from that of writing software, or materials engineering of new stretch fabrics.

Whenever this question of engineering comes up it's always bridges, airplanes, and so on, but that's such a tiny percentage of engineering. Things don't have to be high-stakes to be engineering.
Quite the leap.

I’m not sure why the original comment even mentions this person is trans. How is that relevant to the situation other than to trigger the “victim” alarm in some people’s minds?

Also, how presumptuous of you to assume I’m cis. Be better.

> when your blocking action has no meaningful difference to the new people that will take their place

The rate of new users who don't subscribe to twitter blue will likely remain a much higher fraction than those that do, so if blocking them improves the experience, then rigging up an automatic block seems like a fairly low effort way to tidy things up. Naturally, you'll end up blocking a large amount of cryptobro posters due to the obvious overlap with Elon's supporter audience, which may be beneficial or detrimental depending on what communities you prefer.

You can also simply hide all bluecheck posts with a ublock filter or a userscript, but that's more of a blunt hammer solution, and a bit janky depending on how new tweet loading and infinite scroll is working that day.
Netmap – the fast packet I/O framework
I travel to Latin America as often as I can manage, so I have been studying Spanish. The approach learned from Duolingo does not train your ear to listen to spoken language well. If you want to actually speak a language with other language speakers, listening comprehension is crucial. I moved to using immersive language learning, listening to Spanish media (mostly on Youtube, but also listening to es localizations of movies/TV). The language basics Duolingo teaches are still useful, and I have a 1100+ day streak, but just doing Duolingo still left me flat-footed on the ground trying to use the language.

I suppose technically the timing of traffic lights or deciding whether to use a roundabout involves physics in that if you get it wrong, cars bounce off each other, but I'm not sure civil engineering is any more grounded in physics than software engineering is.
Even on Windows if I send an EXE or MSI of my software to someone they get a scary security warning that prevents them from running it. The only guaranteed way around that is to be a big company (or a big open-source project).

If security really mattered, every OS would run applications in a proper sandbox, but why bother with that when you can just point your Web browser at a program running on someone else's server? Oh, but consent to these tracking cookies first.

Just realized. It takes infinite amount of energy to accelerate something with mass to the speed of light.

Which is why only photons can travel at the speed of light, since they have zero mass.

But going with that idea, wouldn’t that mean that something with negative mass can then go faster than the speed of light?

Would that explain why we can never observe something with negative mass? Because it’s going faster than the speed of light?

This is exactly the kind of mind games why I loved cosmology so much in college.

If a country undemocratically restricts the right to vote then any decisions subsequently voted on aren't democratic.

Women didn't vote to not have the right to vote.

Just because something is democratically voted on doesn't mean it can't be authoritarian. A majority can democratically vote to repress a minority. Note that the comment I'm replying to is (correctly) calling potential laws the Senate might enact authoritarian.
Appeal to authority is about claiming nothing in the book can be wrong on the basis it came from a respected author. It's not about treating any author as equally good to learn from as expert's just because the content could happen to also be good if you're lucky.

Side note-- I can just feel the frontend dev's juice running out as they put the finishing touches on the volume slider on that audio player. It suspiciously only updates the attenuation on mouseup.

Here's my hypothesis: they initially implemented it the obvious way on mousemove (or whatever similar immediate event). Then they a) noticed the horrible zipper noise that came from doing that, b) felt dread at the idea of plumbing into the webaudio API, c) said "aw fuck it" out loud and d) bound the event to mouseup.

Does the dev of that framework post here? If so, am I close on this one? If so I can commiserate from the opposite end-- I spent a long time getting audio stuff like this just right and then fudging text alignment for lack of juice.

This is not to replace any interview process. It is meant to replace the current process of shortlisting before interview. Today recruiters spend around 3 seconds looking at a resume before deciding whether to go ahead with an interview or not when there are 100s of applicants in their job post. It's expected today that the candidate will make a killer resume with design thinking and spend hours in customising it only for a recruiter to give the person a chance in 3 seconds.

One of my co-founders is a recruiter and I have seen her choose candidates. The best bet is LinkedIn relevance, where if you put enough skills in linkedin, doesn't matter if you know any shit or not, you will be in the top.

off to a good start! it's a little slow - difficulty should ramp up more quickly, and player powerups should keep pace, imo. I was so excited to get my first upgrade... only for it to just be the same default gun, with a stronger shot every once in a while. Then I was excited for the next... but all it did was something to my shield, that I didn't have time to examine while playing - and then the third was just... better slow mo?

I just kept expecting things to sort of blossom, get multi shots in different directions, homing shots, lasers, area damage weapons, focus / delay shot weapons.

and then I get to the first boss, and it just... spits bullets in random directions, faster and faster. No patterns or waves, and just a real linear unexciting difficulty increase, until eventually I get hit twice in a row and lose. :(

The hitbox / bullet thing doesn't feel great either - modern shooters have really gotten me used to the idea that your hitbox is mostly just your cockpit, so you can real carefully edge your way between bullets if you have good reflexes and gauged it right - and part of that system is making it real clear where the bullets are, which this design... doesn't.

The bullets blend too easily into the background, and are way way way too similar to the coins. I'm glad the coins autocollect, because if they didn't, it would basically be a nightmare of constantly trying to figure out if you were being baited into 'collecting' a bullet instead of a coin.

what you've got here is really promising, but also needs a lot more work - I'd love to see you put the work in!
The blue checkmark already lost its value when it no longer represented verification. Now it means either someone was willing to pay $8/mo for it, or it means they were not willing to pay $8/mo for it.
