>but if you actually wanted something done, ultimately you took your drawings down to the floor and found the longest, grayest beard you could and bent the knee until they agreed to make everything actually work.

>Fast forward to my first manufacturing job, I was tasked to improve a process, so I went out on the shop floor, started talking to the line guys, and then was promptly scolded by another engineer who told me, and I quote, "they're just manufacturing guys, don't give them enough rope to hang themselves with".

That is a bad way to view things, from both directions.

The line guys definitely have good insights on how to improve things but sometimes their idea of improvement is to "make my job better at the expense of others" and they also often lack the overarching view so they will aim for a local maximum.

Saying that engineers are just doing math all day just relegate the job to a glorified excel data entry job. Engineers should be doing a lot more from documenting current conditions to looking at how to use new technology to improve the process.

That said, I agree that it looks like management did not listen to anyone in the factory.
> Plug it in overnight or while you're in the office and suddenly this becomes a lot less of an issue.

I live in an apartment building that has no charging infrastructure.

Many people work from home.

If everyone charges at the same time, you still have issues with "where will all this power come from"?
As much energy per time (say 24h), hence as much power. This is assuming the grid spreads the load geographically (not all the chargers at one place) and not everyone is rapid charging their car at the same time (impossible since there won't be enough rapid chargers).

Thankfully that’s not what I said! This sub-thread is very silly.

FWIW Rust is exceptionally bad at dynamic/shared libraries. There’s a kajillion Rust CLI tools and approximately all of them are single file executables. It’s great.

I have lots of experience with Rust, the Rust community, and a smorgasbords of “rewrite it in Rust” tools. I personally have zero experience with Go, it’s community, and afaik Go tools. I’m sure I’ve used something written in Go without realizing it. YMMV.

I'm with Stephenson on that one and it is the exact reason I ended up buying something smaller. I'm simply not strong enough to properly handle a hole hawg and I also don't have frequent enough work to keep it around doing nothing for extended periods of time. The 'smaller' version I have is a Bosch SDS-max capable drill that still makes short work of anything I throw at it but I can imagine jobs where it wouldn't be able to match the hole hawg's capabilities (or frankly, to even come near it). These aren't toys and you should get what works for you, not just what looks impressive.

Another brand I still like after many years is Makita, I've yet to have something made by them break from normal use. DeWalt has lost the plot, they are no longer worth the premium price. And with Bosch it's hit-and-miss you have to do a lot of online reading before making the call on one of their tools. They are very efficient in their use of materials and sometimes they can be too efficient and deliver a tool that isn't up to snuff. But they are always price competitive.
This would be the method of last resort. I think secure boot as a technology actually has security advantages, if you can freely set the keys. That was what the tech was advertised as to console the critics, but if course it would run counter to the goal of controlling hardware if this was actually implemented consistently. I think regulation to force vendors to provide this option (and in a frictionless, actually usable manner) could do a lot here.

Second is more focus on nag screens, "nudges" and other deliberately degraded UX. I.e. with the Surface tablets, you're technically able to disable secure boot, however you'll then be greeted with an ugly bright red boot screen every time you turn the device on. This stuff can have significant psychological impact, especially for "casual" users.
Lacto fermentation is fantastic. I do it with my 4yo son, he also comes up with new things to try. We regularly do kimchi or something similar, tomatoes, green beans, red sauerkraut. He suggested strawberries which was great.

Takes about a week, cheap and very easy. A decent kimchi here is £4.50 for a small pot, maybe 250-400g? I can make 2kg+ for less. Kimchi is the only one I've seen sold out of the list too. I highly recommend trying it, if you have a vac sealer it's even easier.

> A shelter is generally a place that you go to overnight, where you can't keep your stuff, you have to be out early in the morning and come back at a strict time in the afternoon or evening.

Of course you could imagine shelters where people are allowed to stay all day. Or housing first programs. The relevant difference is still whether people are forced to be there.

> Also, there are many homeless families (shelters don't serve them that well), but when it comes to mental illness it's not usually a family thing.

I'm not sure I understand this argument. Shelters don't serve families well because they can't stay there together, but this is not a problem for asylums, since asylums would only take those who are mentally ill — so families can't stay there together either, but that's not a problem in this case?
It’s strange how people trot that out and never discuss the inverse.

>That might be the case, but the apples to oranges comparison

More like satsumas to oranges. Land is still the key component of wealth extraction irrespective of whether the rents come with a house or without.

>That can't possibly be due to other factors, like the aftereffects of the covid-19 pandemic, or all the baby boomers

No, because those are not other factors they are scapegoats. Covid didn't ruin the NHS - that had been happening for years - covid just exposed the underlying frailty of the system and was an excuse to jam even MORE corruption into the system.

Baby boomers retiring is not responsible for an increasing share of the country's income being dedicated to rents.

I'm excited to see what kind of new scapegoats our leaders will come up with to rally the simple-minded once covid becomes distant history and the boomers all die off. Hopefully we won't get a re-run of that "it's all the [ insert ethnicity here ]'s fault" thing from the 1930s.

I think the "Unix philosophy" is best applied to problems that indeed can be de-composed into clear discrete steps. In fact, that's the metric I use when I write command line utilities: does this make sense in a pipe?

There are a lot of things where this isn't very practical. For instance, imagine building a web server that consists of a couple of dozen discrete utilities that are then cobbled together using pipes. Or even implementing the core feature set of Git in this manner. Would it be practical? Would it be better if Git was an enormous shellscript that connected all of these "things" into an application? What does that give you? And what would be the cost?

How would you do SQLite (the CLI application) as a bunch of discrete commands?

> am I struggling to understand the issue

As the article says, Amsterdam is drowning in tourists, and prefers those that bring in more money to the local economy.

Cruise ship passengers sleep on board, have breakfast on board and may even have dinner on board because that’s included in their fee for the cruise.

I’m also guessing that most of these cruise ships aren’t the most luxurious of cruise ships, and aren’t carrying the richest of tourists.
You plumb two pipes through the element that are completely separate. Then you enable or disable flow through the pipes depending on the state of the element. No mixing, no loss to the surrounding material. Though this depends on good heat conduction within the material.

Presumably though, the switching speed would need to be rather high on both the electrical field and the material. But if the bulk material is cheap enough that you can make it quite massive for a low enough price, I could see it work.
Indeed. DeWalt used to be great stuff and now it's just overpriced junk. The one thing they still have going for them is their batteries, those are excellent quality. But that's not a good enough reason to buy a tool.

Case in point: I still have a DeWalt drill from 2009's that is still on its original set of batteries. But a hammerdrill I bought for a renovation in 2015 died after moderate use just outside of the warranty and after taking it apart I realized this wasn't an accident but just crappy manufacturing. The mechanism was so delicate it should have never been greenlit and the materials used were sub-standard.

That where I just gave up and switched to VSCode, because he's right. I have one exception, because I CANNOT figure how to get VSCode to handle our Puppet syntax.

The culture in european banks is even more dull than I expected before working there.

The view on technology and infrastructure is very primitive... as you can also read from just the header "IT division". I initially thought that they were competent but greedy turns out the banks are really just greedy, naive and sometimes... plain stupid.

I don't know if it's unique to Europe, but I am never working for a non tech-first company again.
From the farmers market, I purchase frozen foods, ready-made microwave dinners from the fridge, and sandwiches which are deli day-olds.

It would be ugly and spoiled before any customer laid eyes on it.

> they have shown doing a thing.

What they showed is a bench experiment. What they need is a battery which is proven capable in an EV — in terms of resilience, power handling, environmental tolerances, etc. The challenge is scaling THAT up.
NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) and even just plain nicotinamide. Taking a large dose of nicotinamide (3g/day divided into 3 spaced-out doses) has resolved several relatively minor issues which I suspected were caused by some genetically caused mitochondrial deficiency. For example, I had some skin problems, including inflammation along the hairline, acne-like lesions on the neck and so-called "histamine intolerance" (inflammation-like red splotches). After a few weeks of taking nicotinamide all of these started clearing up and after a few months disappeared completely. Also I have higher and more even energy levels throughout the day.

One specific change that points at improved mitochondrial function is that I used to get shivering cold very easily, especially when wet. Not anymore! Just yesterday while walking for exercise I got surprised by a downpour and continued my walk soaking wet without any discomfort.

> I'm sure someone with more familiarity with battery technology could double the length of this list.

Actually, not really. For one, no serious manufacturer currently even proposes a battery technology if it doesn't meet the most basic of the mentioned criteria.

Secondly, some of these, like storing at a low/high state of charge or high/low temperature performance are nowadays managed by the BMS - models that don't have that are already not competitive. The reason is that energy density already crossed the threshold at which some of the capacity can be spared for this purpose.

To me the more important question to ask than any of these is: is there a process in place to manufacture the batteries at scale?

That is what ultimately makes or breaks an emerging battery technology.

Proof is tough, but there are approaches to reasoning about it. One is statistical models of phoneme development which indicates that languages in Africa started diversifying up to about 150,000 years ago.

However I think it seems likely that our cognitive ability to reason about linguistic structures is an adaptation of our ability to reason about making and using tools. Tools leave physical evidence, so if we can figure out an evolutionary relationship with language development we might make traction that way.
Rapid charging is not typically needed at houses (you can charge while you sleep), but if you want one, you can have another, stationary battery that charges slowly when you are sleeping or not at home. When you rapid charge your car, the energy does not come from the grid but from this second battery.

But why get a battery car when fusion cars are just 20 years away?
> If you charge a battery with anything near the capacity necessary for 1200 km range within ten minutes, you will need at least a charger with 1000 kW (1 MW) output power.

Or you could just charge it at 500 kW for 20 minutes.

Chargers out perform the batteries at present. No current passenger EV can sustain 350 kW across the whole charge curve.

If Toyota's battery will sustain a flat 500 kW or even a flat 350 kW for most of the charge curve then that's a very good thing.
> how the game developers would embrace every tool that makes their life easier

That's just not true. Plenty of game developers use old tools as well, with the exact same argument of "it makes my life easier"
