Do vehicular sunroofs share any of these benefits?

Would it be feasible to design an air circulation system for vehicles to enable passive cooling of this nature?
Usually clicking the “logo” in the top left or center brings you to the “homepage” or “landing page”, not a blog/forum/help page. Websites have worked like this for decades.

Also, this is an announcement for an update. Not an announcement for a completely new product launch.
I doubt there's enough enforcement behind that to make it plausible.
> Language is so unimportant in comparison.

To you. Not to everyone. Personally, I wouldn't work in PHP for anything short of the Apollo program. The gap between Haskell and the best mainstream languages is not quite that large, but it's not negligible either.
For most of the of the country, I don't think heat is that much of a problem. You're not pedaling hard and you have a steady breeze at 15+ mph. I ride electric Citibikes in NYC all summer where it's often in the 90s with high humidity.

The only way this worked when was AT&T had a virtual monopoly on all telecommunications (design, installation, services, etc) in the US, and had their rates set using a rate of return derived pricing mechanism.

We can probably get such things back, but they are not Free exactly.

RCA had similar labs, but I think changes to the tax code makes them less worthwhile to do today as well.
They had me until the antepenultimate paragraph:

> Fear-mongers may be expected to gin up opposition to any human future which does not involve half-naked pithecanthropoids digging for grubs with dull sticks, and design, construction, management, and operation of these facilities will require teams of people recruited, evaluated, and compensated by merit, not metrics of “diversity”, “equity”, or “inclusion”.

For me that turned the whole piece from a level-headed well-reasoned argument from domain experts to a Facebook political rant. That isn’t to say I agree or disagree with DEI initiatives, that sentence simply undermines the credibility of all that came before.
Surprising, the same search on duckduckgo gives me:

Same.

I was OK when it was just 1 short ad, only sometimes. Then 1 skippable ad.

Like all companies, they just kept pushing and pushing and now I'm pushing back with a zero ads tolerance.

When will ad companies realize their own trickery and greed is what is directly driving ad blockers in the first place?
I was referring to the tools themselves being loud. It's not common for mechanics to be wearing ear protection, and air ratchets and impact guns are VERY loud.

Air tools are not maintenance free. They all require oiling devices inline, or regularly being oiled, and that oil gets into the shop and coats everything; you're also breathing that shit into your lungs. That's why in a lot of mechanic's shops, everything is greasy. Pneumatic tool oil.

You can buy a lot of batteries, tools, and chargers for the cost of installing a hard line air system. That still doesn't address the annoyance of the air hose, which is even worse than electrical cords - less flexible and heavier.
Nobody said otherwise.

I don't understand why someone always has to respond to climate apocalypse discussion with "but actually the planet will be fine."
The core issue here is reviewer saying “if you change this, you also have to fix other pending issues in codebase”.

That should be the point of push back “Great feedback, and appreciate the direction to improve code quality, however the implications of changing Y means we need X, Y, Z approval and it will many days. I am making a tech debt task with what you described and will be done in a follow up PR based on priority and bandwidth.

Let’s focus on what it would take to get this surgical PR out.”

The biggest lesson I learned is to make focused PRs, and learn to pushback when reviewer asks for a scope creep. Mostly other engineers have been pragmatic.

It’s unrelated to number of lines as you can reformat while codebase but not change anything logically, or change some feature flags which could have a huge impact. But ONE FOCUSED CHANGE AT A TIME
That's certainly what the dropbears want you to believe.
I think the idea here is that the "victims" are people needing or wanting medical treatment, and find it's made impossible for them to get it. Yes, they're not really involved in the transaction but still have something taken away from them.

You could argue that it's the government, medicaid and medicare especially that are taking away from them ... but that doesn't make as good a scapegoat as banks and pension funds. Sorry, not pension funds, I mean evil private equity investors ...
All republics are democracies. People who say that it isn’t are contrasting representative democracy with direct democracy but “democracy” encompasses both. Leaving out “direct” is deceptive.

Tesla is doing more and more pretty fast, they are up to 4GW per Quarter currently.

Its all in their official numbers:

https://ir.tesla.com/#quarterly-disclosure

About 10GW Q1 to Q1, but that number continue to go up pretty fast.

I can't name all the people they sold all this to. There are lots of individual projects from 100MW to 500MW and lots of individual batteries. I believe in California there is a 1GW project somewhere. There have announced a number of GW scale projects.

I don't have all the links to all the projects but you should track them down in various news articles.
The numbers are from the respective national nuclear authorities.

Also, as of 2019, the ongoing cost of securing spent fuel at Maine Yankee is about $10M per year. At what point does the spent fuel storage there age out and need replacement?
Not my choice, that’s what you get when you inherit an Angular website.
On the technical level, i think yes, there are analysis and solution.

Customer Communication in Slack Without Slack Connect or Shared Channels
How could I make that clearer? I explicitly asked about what language ecosystems offer the snallest production containers and gave examples.
Right, but that's "support", not "documentation". Completely different thing, and the latter is not really a substitute for the former, whether it's on Discord, IRC, XMPP, or at the bar after a conference.
The problem is not single payer health care, it's that the single payer that does exist (both medicare and medicaid are single payer) has decided not to increase the amount of money available, not even inflation adjustments, for 15 years.

How good would you feel about your job, even if well-paid initially, after 15 years of no raise. Not even inflation or cost-of-living adjustments.

And would you sell if someone came and offered you money for your customers, knowing they'd get screwed sooner or later?

>> Although the tree octopus is not officially listed on the Endangered Species List, we feel that it should be added since its numbers are at a critically low level for its breeding needs. The reasons for this dire situation include: decimation of habitat by logging and suburban encroachment; building of roads that cut off access to the water which it needs for spawning; predation by foreign species such as house cats; and booming populations of its natural predators, including the bald eagle and sasquatch.
> The ability to talk directly to a real human is really powerful.

100%. But different strokes for different folks, as well as at different times in the evaluation/discovery journey. Many devs don't want to talk to someone.

From the perspective of the product company, things are a bit different. If you are pre-product market fit, you probably want every interaction with a possible customer/user you can, so you can move towards understanding the problem space. Set up discord for that.

Once you find PMF, it's all about setting yourself up for scaling. We made a choice to scale back chat and focus on online, public forums, and it worked out well for us. If you want to talk to a human, you can absolutely engage with our sales team, or in other public spaces like Twitter.

That said, some projects are big enough or inspire enough people that the community can scale on discord. Haven't seen that often, but it happens.

> Google is increasingly useless at surfacing relevant documentation (it prefers SEO blogspam).

Agree for generic programming queries, but for product specific queries, I haven't noticed that. And product specific queries are what documentation and forum are designed to help with.
I see that now, I was 24 when that policy started and I’m 38 now. And I feel like the entire world was bought out from under me with free money to those with capital leverage.
France produced military nuclear fuel in separate facilities, with separate engineers.

Also, France stopped producing military-grade radioactive fuel since 1996, when the Pierrelatte military factory closed [1].

The prime complaint here seems to be a campaign game where you might need to restart the campaign forcing you to do the tutorial multiple times. A bit niche imo.

Honestly I think most tutorials are fine. The boring stuff is usually very quick. The game specific mechanics are worth learning.
I highly suspect that whatever organic mechanism in the human brain generates and processes metaphor what generative AI chatbots are leveraging, and the key to why they work so well. Metaphor is a sort of "translation" between ideas, and in this sci-fi example, a literal translation between languages; which LLMs share in reality, which is their ability to gain function from training on one language that leads to understanding of other languages.

So, when we train a model on phrases like, "time is money", and it's able to discern both that time is not literally money, and that time expenditure can be equivalent to monetary expenditure. That ability to do translation between concepts is how language is able to perform "work" on information. Metaphorically, of course.
It’s not “hidden” but the modal pops up after scrolling far enough down that you’re absorbed in the content, the “continue reading” is not styled as a button, and is accompanied by a chevron to the right which implies navigation away from the current content (I want to scroll down, not go right), which I think pushes it over the edge into dark pattern territory.
Ill-Typed Programs Don't Evaluate
Inventor of the OG MIMO code awarded the Marconi Prize (2022)
Few things in communications have had a bigger impact than the Alamouti code in the last 2 decades. Before this, it wasn't possible to send and receive from multiple antennas on the same band simultaneously. This paper opened the doors for transmit & receive side diversity, allowing unprecedented increases in bandwidth at which you could transmit wireless data.

Here is the original paper: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/730453
Incentives are unavoidable. So best to try to identify them whether you want to change them or not. “Highly motivated” in a way means even more driven by incentives, just a particular set of them.
I’d love to make a game, and attempted to make a start with something simple like Unity and Godot. For me it felt like implementing simple things that basically every game has (clicking and dragging objects, or moving a player character with arrow buttons, collisions) required a lot of coding straight up. Rather than boilerplate code blocks or something. It’s not like I expect there to be no code,I expected to use code to explain to the game engine complex ideas/systems, not figure out how to do the things that almost every game has. I’m sure there are inflexible No Code game engines but is there something in between?
And usually there is no responsive mods.

Blogs have value even if no one else ever reads them. The very act of publishing something to the world is an achievement and, I find, enforces a level of editing and quality beyond jotting notes.
Haskell is much simpler than F# in its full .NET multi-paradigm "glory" but moderately more complex than the fragment of F# used in idiomatic functional code.
AI Loses Its Mind After Being Trained on AI-Generated Data
SBCL needs a relatively large amount of memory to start with, but beyond that it doesn't require much. I run a few small services written in Common Lisp. Instead of running a separate process for every one of them I run a single SBCL process and run each service in a different thread.

This has some downsides: Firstly they run in the same address space, so global state is shared and serious bugs can affect another service. Secondly they run as a single systemd service, so they're not easy to manage individually. Still I've found it to work quite nicely for things that are simple and don't really need attention.
Discord is the most prevalent and lowest friction communication app for the highest portion of the relevant audience, and will only become more so with every new (younger) developer cohort.

The average 16-34ish year-old probably-male developer that owns a PC with a discrete GPU almost certainly already has Discord installed, and does not perceive any undue burden from being "forced" to use an app they already use regularly, for better or worse: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1327674/discord-user-age...

In my opinion, the best solution is Discord getting ahead of this and letting admins make in-server threads visible to the clearnet.
> Many code bases that I've worked on suffered from too much, and badly engineered, code - not from not having enough code.

Because the projects that weren't built fast enough were eventually thrown away, meaning they never require maintenance, which is the source of the sampling bias you are observing. I've seen it happen in some cases (engineer with the wrong personality leading an R&D project).
I have implemented yet another forth by myself. It works a little bit different and it is not intended to be a true copy of the original idea.

Since the post says you can discover Forth, here's my part:

https://github.com/loscoala/goforth

The main difference is that in this Forth variant, the source text is completely translated into bytecode and there is no runtime in the sense of classic Forth. This makes it easy to translate the bytecode to C.

I use my own Forth to generate C code with it, which I then embed in other software.
Not a mention of the bot farms / public influence campaigns AI is being used for. To me, unless you're famous, using fake personas to deceptively influence public opinion is a bigger issue than deepfakes.

We should also address the issue of the word safety being abused/relabeled for content moderation purposes. Censorship is not safety, safety should focus on criminal activity, not agendas of censorship.
Maybe an accident? Cltr + p and clicking okay or whatever.

But what does it mean to be openly bi as a married man?

No one in my office knows of my sexual past and what gets me hard, they might know I have a girlfriend.

I'd be more concerned if someone the office was aware of his sexuality in detail. Usually means there has been sexual harassment.

I learned a lot about drugs today, thanks to this site. I’m not quite sure that all the info was correct (a statement that crystal meth doesn't create physical addiction was quite surprising), but still, I learned a lot of new drug names today.
You're not talking about Triachnid, but if you liked that game you should try Triachnid. One of the best flash games ever made IMO. You control a three-legged spider-thing by clicking and dragging each of its legs. It can climb walls, carry objects, extrude webs and use a "hand" to stick them to a surface. It's great.

I was complaining about this to my manager, he said attending meetings doesn't affect my perf and I just shouldn't go if I think it's pointless. So I stopped going to a couple. No one has made a peep. I need to start voicing for the smaller meetings tho. I've starting asking the groups "any agenda for today?" A couple hours before but I feel like the meeting organizer should really be on top of this.
Lifespan extension: separating fact from fiction
Considering that Reagan reversed this policy by unbanning reprocessing in 1981, this isn't the only reason we don't do it today. Other reasons include that reprocessing is expensive and that we found a lot more uranium ore than originally expected.

Lithium batteries and improvements in battery technology is more recent then hydrogen. You are the one holding one to an outdated relic of the past claiming it to be the future.

Wind and solar are replacing fossil fuels (or in the rare case of Germany, nuclear). Hydorgen cars by the time they could finally come about would be replacing already carbon free battery cars.

Hilariously enough is not only are you holding on to a relic of the past, you are also defending a technology that is far less energy efficient and is not even green, and wont be for many decades.

You can't just declare something progress because it has always been progress. Its simply a technology that has already been overtaken by something far better before it was ever deployed. That is really progress. What you are doing is declaring something the future and then holding on to it forever and claiming that its the only possible progress.

So in reality you are the one not actually looking to progress, but defending historical idea of progress.
I don't think that they don't trust documentation. I think that they don't want to invest half or a full day reading the docs and learning every facet of the tool. They are in hurry and if they can find the right answer, discord, ChatGPT, whatever, that would do.

I read all the Unix man page of every command line program I used but there were only a few of them. There are a zillion of tools now, I can't spend days reading their docs: I won't be able to deliver to my customers and get paid. Googling how to do X magically works well enough.

Discord is the very last resort, only if desperate. I tend to keep very far away from tools that have discord as their primary documentation. There are always alternatives.
I suspect that IEEE 802.15.7 might be more up your alley, maybe also .13 (esp the pm phy variant).
Your grandchildren (I won't have any) will probably struggle with things like water and food availability, possibly famine and I wouldn't be surprised if wars break out over these things. I also don't know if it will necessarily be grandchildren. It might very well be getting pretty bad by the time we're thinking about retirement.

I'm hoping for the best and I hope I'm wrong but this is what it looks like to me, based on various reports and such that I see. The temperature graph is clearly exponential (at least for now) so the next 1.5 degrees are going to come much faster than the previous. I won't be surprised if we live to see 5, which is generally considered apocalyptic.

And we haven't even started hitting the brakes, not even slightly. We're still producing more CO2 every single year than the previous. So yeah, I'm not optimistic. If you want to be that's fine and I'll happily support any proper action. But there's nothing I can do beyond live my best life while I can.
1) NIRP and search for yield

2) Older doctors, stomatologists etc... Running an individual practice is a challenge, requires constant investment and learning and at some point in life there is an incentive of larger cash out.

And why? Because as West deindustrialized potenial for profit lays in high-value services. Instead of an aluminium smelter you purchase 100 of orthodontist practices. After purchase you cut on costs, raise prices and the investment pays out rather quickly....

Does anyone know any good underrated educational resources for more "specialized" icon design?

I have a big bone to pick with these types of sites. Everything has developed this homogenized feel. Even with the slight variations in every set of SVG icons on that website, they all look the same kind of, and the idiosyncratic "fingerprint" so to speak of a specific kind of set has been erased in place of this constantly never-ending minimal style.

Don't get me wrong, these things are useful if you wanna get up and running and don't care about design being optimal, but if you want your website to have its own "character", more energy needs to be invested.

As a free market maximalist, I believe YouTube has the right to show me as many ads as possible; but I reserve the right to close my eyes and not watch them.

An adblocker helps me close my eyes at scale, and so if YouTube wants to interfere with that, that's where we'll have a little issue.

This is attacking the problem in the wrong place. There are a relatively small number of writers of update announcements but a large number of readers. The readers have relatively low motivation to deeply investigate any one announced product. The product announcers generally have significant motivation to get the right readers to check out the product. So the correct solution here is for writers to realize that they need to address not just current users, but to spare a thought for the much, much, much larger number of people who are not yet familiar with the product. Even better, that's exactly what the writer did: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36748426

multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
This week during code reviews, I caught:

1) O(N^2) in the hottest code we have.

2) O(N^3) from someone else in the same area.

3) Filling a cache on first access - this causes the system to page (high latency!).

4) Hunting for data themselves and creating null pointer errors.

5) Hunting for data themselves and missing all the fun edge cases.

6) Duplicating a feature that already existed.

I'm guessing (4) could have been caught by static analysis?
