Yes and mostly no. Its definitely a costlier rice but not unaffordable. My dad grow rice and he doesnt prefer the taste of basmati. Basmati is softer and longer but not as sweet as his favorite "sharbati" or IR24. It tastes bland with vegetables and curries. It has aroma but no flavor. Most farmers dont prefer basmati for daily usage even when they grow it. Also,per acre, basmati has not significant advantage over other varieties which can grow upto 2x basmati.

I live in city and now I prefer basmati because its less sweeter and softer. Weight gain has been a concern for me (not to my dad, he likes doing labor). Basmati also doesnt fit well with many traditional dishes, except for biryani I guess.

Cashew has become unaffordable locally because of high export demand. I find is mildly irritating. On the other hand, I earn quite well because of service export.

Monju was a poorly designed machine which was particularly badly run. I recently found a book they wrote about it and when I looked at the plans I thought "I can't believe they built that in an earthquake zone". I don't know if anyone is ever going to build another loop-type LMFBR as many of the problems you can have with a loop-type can't happen in pool-type reactors.

What was most shocking about the fire at Monju wasn't that it happened but that they tried to cover it up. Neither that nor the incident where they dropped the refueling machine into the reactor vessel were dangerous to people off site but the latter sure convinced everyone they didn't know what they were doing.

Contrast that to Superphenix where the fuel transfer drum failed and they struggled with a steam turbine system that was procured under corrupt contracts but overall had a good operational record. Or the three pre-1970s cases where there was significant fuel damage in the US but they found that a core melt in a LFMBR isn't as bad as it sounds because the iodine (most dangerous radioactive element in the fission products) reacts with the sodium and the NaI dissolves in the sodium so it doesn't go anywhere. Or EBR-II and the FFTF which performed flawlessly, or the highly successful fast reactors in Russia.
Most likely compatibility is more stable across clients

Unless something has changed and I'm out of date, I think a piece of context here is fly postgres isn't really a managed service offering. From what I've seen fly does try to message this, but I think it's still easy for some subset of customers to miss that they're deploying an OSS component, maybe deployed a non-HA setup and forgot, and it's not the same as buying a database as a service.

So hopefully as fly.io get's more popular, there will be some compelling managed offerings. I saw comments at one point from the neon CEO about a fly.io offering, but not sure if that went anywhere. I'm sure customers can also use crunchy, or other offerings.

I don't know anything about his programming abilities, but PDF linked from OP is full of asinine bullshit. He doesn't know what he's talking about and is very confident about it.

This is not nitpicking, this is very illustrative of how the author thinks -- he doesn't. He cannot think clearly, he cannot analyze the subject he's discussing. He cannot even see the problem with whatever nonsense he's spouting.

There's also other issue: English as native language offers huge advantage

Think of it:

If you're from non-english speaking country, then you'll be spending like 14 years at school learning english.

Additionally you'll have to put a lot of effort outside the classes and you'll still be at probably good / very good, but not native level.

So, in order to compete with engineers, scientists, etc from english-first countries you not only have to be as good as they are, but all of that while paying this "english-learning tax"

It is like a few thousands of hours of effort required to get decent results and now think about it how many other things you could spend that time on.

It is actually crazy when you think about this. Almost every person in majority of countries needs to pay that huge penalty that's required to enter science, business, international world.

Not OP, but I'd imagine the extra handling is the concern here, as far as water bottles go. You do want to refresh water in water jugs routinely as 'preservatives' like chlorine dissipate.

The better wording of 'stop reusing bottled water bottles' to avoid plastics would be 'use glass or metal water bottles'.
It's not only the language. The various parts of the world are culturally different enough that what seems normal in one place may not be normal in another. And when all you know is your culture, you get a biased definition of normality.
The core issue here is that fly doesn't offer distributed storage, only local disks.

Combine that with them having tooling for setting up Postgres built on top of single node storage, and you have the downtime problems and unhappy customers as a given.

Unfortunately, even if we stopped all global emissions at this very moment we will not avoid all of the serious outcomes from climate change. That doesn't mean that we should give up, but we should prepare for the world to keep changing. That means that we need people working on solving emissions but also that we need people working on adaptation to the changing world.

Adaptation is a lot less sexy than directly solving climate change, but if we don't do it a lot more people are going to have a much worse quality of life than they need to.

I have a hard time recommending the book. The main character had no agency for most of it, and the plot was very unclear. It made for a good unveiling at the end, but given the size of the book...it's a lot to read for that payoff.

I won't say don't read it -- it did manage to keep my interest, after all -- I just have a hard time recommending it due to the time-investment:reward ratio.

So let's say I'm using some new SDK. I run a method that returns a Service object. In my current Go/Python world, I can dot-autocomplete to quickly get an idea of what procedures I can perform with this object. 90% of the time, this is sufficient to proceed. 10% of the time I need to RTFM/SO.
Nope, hate sprints. Continuous planning works much better in my experience because it is _actually_ agile. It lets you constantly reset what your current priorities are. It lets you plan out projects and think about the projects and what it's going to take to get them over the finish line, without the constraint of "well, what do we think will fit into the next two weeks"? Also, sprints totally strip autonomy from engineers, I don't know why anyone would argue that they give engineers more autonomy.

Honestly, I just really hate the arbitrary timebox and all the problems it brings. You totally don't need sprints to do anything that's a part of the scrum process. Want to be more introspective as a team? Schedule a meeting every few weeks to talk about problems you're facing as a team and how to solve them. Want to plan out your work in advance? Cool, do that for every project you're going to be tackling.
> CDC says Polio is "99 - 100 % effective" against paralytic polio [0]. So essentially perfect efficacy. Covid vaccines look like a failure in comparison (<60% effective against hospitalization, much more significant harms)[1]

You're using an arbitrary delineation which the parent didn't. "Essentially perfect" is imperfect, just like the Covid vaccines - because the measure wasn't "more than 99% effective", it's "100% effective".

> To me the problem wasn't that the vaccines didn't perfectly to prevent infection and transmission; the problem is that the messaging from the medical field was that the vaccine _would_ prevent transmission and harmful reactions would be rare. No matter how much one squints, neither of those look remotely true.

When and by who was this messaging put out? The Covid vaccines are pretty darn good at protecting you - but only from the original strains, they're not good at protecting from mutated strains. You need updated shots for that, by which time the virus has mutated further.
I'll bite :)

- Stick to the basics to start: Mattermost/Slack for messaging, Github for issues/work, standard tooling (I imagine you might be B2B SaaS? So maybe Node or Python). There's a small chance you're building something that's actually "new" - so just stick with what is tried and true.

- Have an onboarding doc! Even if you don't stick with it, or even if it doesn't make a lot of sense. When do people get paid? Who to go to for HR-like questions? Is there a virtual happy hour on Fridays? How should one communicate on Github/Slack? How do I get my project setup with all proper dependencies, etc. This saves a ton of "Oops, we never actually clarified this" down the road.
- This doc is where you help clarify company culture (#NoSmartAssholes) and stuff like this.
- This is also where you can set expectations on the role, and what's expected.

- Have work ready to go. It will only take a decent programmer a few hours to get setup (obviously depending on the project, but you mentioned you're small so it's probably just a repo you can clone). Use those Labels on Github issues liberally. Have a slate of "Good first issues" ready to go that can introduce the new hire to all/most areas of the codebase gently :).

- Lastly, vibe is maybe a little more important than technicals at first? Of course there's work to be done, and it needs to be done correctly, but on a really small team being able to have an actual discussion about "What did you do this weekend?" is maybe a bit more important than "Proper tests were not added for this new feature".

TLDR: Use the same comms platforms as everyone else, have a decent onboarding doc, have some work already triaged and ready to go, focus on good vibes and the technical stuff will come :)
Just out of curiosity, what framework have you been using inside Oding for gamedev? Raylib?
> "I can't hold my employees to 40 hours, because it's just not enough to live on."

This is the crux of it. Man wants to pay his workers a non livable wage and have them stay on-farm 7 days a week. That’s an unreasonable proposition. This law might be the wrong lever to pull, but the fundamental issue here is farm owners are trying to get people to do something without paying them fairly.

The solution, in my mind, is collective bargaining. Farm workers should group together and demand whatever would help them, and lawmakers should support them doing that - rather than a top-down approach that ends in whack-a-mole. There is no one little tweak from somebody who’s never picked a veggie in their life that’s going to fix this - empower and support the people to fix their own problems.
I was biased by a visit to the Patagonia store in Seattle, their corporate activism [0], and the fact that they still sell cotton shirts (my usual source, thrift stores, seem to mostly have various forms of petroleum-derived materials, and I get that a portion of the elements in the cotton trace back to petroleum). I bought several online, whatever were on clearance that were also 100% cotton. The collar is a little loose, but otherwise the shirts feel nice and I like the idea, at least, that I could bring them in for repairs.

I think it's fair to just exclude Leafs from the discussion altogether. They did not have any meaningful thermal management for the battery, which has a huge effect on longevity. AFAIK all other modern EVs have thermal management and it puts them in an entirely different category.
I somewhat prefer to leave overturned laws on the books because it shows that the words in the statutes are not law. There’s a lot of other laws that are on the books which have yet to be overturned and which are equally not law. It’s be healthier if everyone looking at statutes had to recognize that “this is just what the legislature says, and their word doesn’t always matter.”

I'm even more skeptical now. I lived through the .com bubble and the hype and bullshit were blandly obvious at the time. I worked briefly in the mortgage industry during the run up to the 08 implosion and after about 90 days of wondering what the sideways fuck was going on with all these obviously bullshit loans I decided someone was probably going to jail for something and got tf out of the industry before I found myself caught up in whatever. Now, I'm not carrying any kind of degree, so it obviously doesn't take a doctorate in economics to glance at a business (or even an entire industry) and pick up on the fact that their business model looks like a few tons of horseshit hiding behind a billboard for disney world.

Drilling into vertical farming specifically, all one has to do to surmise the entire industry is a crock of shit is note the following:

- agriculture has some of the narrowest margins of any industry

- vertical ag claims they'll be printing money by adding additional layers of complexity and overhead to the process

In my opinion the reason shit like this keeps happening is it's become standard practice in the financial industry to bet on dumb money instead of betting on actual value.
You're probably overthinking the realism. you do have prior art in all aspects though

If this is an isometric or top down kinda game then like red alert you're just shooting a target not a piece of a target and you can just ignore damage to lifting apparatus (propellers or balloons) without breaking immersion.

This is blatantly not true when the modus operandi behind the restrictions on arms sales is to prevent the collapse of Russia - not of Putin, but of Russia. It isn't mutually exclusive with worries about nuclear escalation, but I've often seen generals and colonels scoff at that in comparison despite the lengthier public discussion. The idea that any strategic planner wants Russia to collapse is the idea that John Bolton is the only type of person to be employed in the state department. You are disparaging thousands of people who dedicated their lives to do the opposite of the cynism you state.

Annexing all of Ukraine's natural gas fields under the guise of saving ethnic Russians wasn't acceptable to Ukraine was it? The agreement you discuss is a defacto conquering of Ukraine.

This is only a problem if there's a surplus of labor. Which there is, because migrant workers come in and work for wages that no local person would accept. If you can literally double your workforce overnight while at the same time paying them all less, that's a policy failure.

I recently played this same cat and mouse game with no success, so I built a better mouse trap using a disposable aluminum foil cooking pan and a Moen water leak sensor. I put the drip pan on a steep angle and bent/reshaped it to collect water at a single point where I placed the sensor. I wrapped the sensor in a small piece of paper towel so that even a single drop of water would be absorbed by the paper towel and trigger the sensor. I tested it with a single drop of water from a syringe, replaced the paper towel to reset the trap, and eventually I got a notification in real time on my phone as it dripped. Over kill? Yes. But it lead to me finally finding the issue.
> not the standard 2m above ground

you made me think of an experiment i did (1.83m tall) in the foothills at higher elevation north of Phoenix last week: i tried walking barefoot on white concrete sidewalk at noon, for about 5 meters. The UV is extremely high here, and temps have been over 110F (around mid 40s celsius) for weeks a few hundred feet lower in elevation.

It's scaldingly hot at the surface, while up around 2m up it's hot but MUCH less hot.

Something it keep in mind with dogs, obviously. It's basically dawn and after dusk for walking here for another few weeks.
Back in the day (early 2000s), my classmate had a plan that had a limited bandwidth. That also meant there was a dashboard that you could use to monitor the usage. My classmate clearly didn't like it, because his parents could see when he was playing RuneScape. I had unlimited plan and had no monitoring in place.

So I suggested him he could exceed the limit through downloading some [i]stuff[/i]. Knowing him, he went overboard and racked up a good bill. Think of someone's earnings of working for half a year, full time, at the minimal wage at the time.

ISP didn't budge but they eventually found a way to upgrade to an unlimited plan and drop the bill for going over. Two happy kids...
