>considering the mass of a home, what’s the efficiency difference between letting the temperature stay in uncontrolled for 8+ hours and then trying to rein it in quickly vs just keeping it in place the whole time?

The energy lost from your home to the environment is dependent on the temperature difference. A warmer house (during the summer) loses less energy than a house that's cooled the entire time. Therefore at least from a pure energy use perspective, it's always cheaper to only turn on the system when you actually need it (ie. when you get home) than trying to maintain the same temperature.

>remember to account for wear and tear on the relevant HVAC equipment.

Without an accurate wear/tear model of HVAC equipment this can easily go either way. You could argue that having the equipment run for longer cycles shortens life because it has to work "harder", but you could also argue the opposite because most of the wear originates from the system starting/stopping and/or thermal stress from it being on/off.

The problem is that it is not just used for running tests to see if the child is healthy.

From the article

>But while the state may not be making money off your child's DNA, Lorey admitted that there is the potential for outside researchers to profit off your child's genetic material.

And

>Law enforcement also can — and does — request identified blood spots. We found at least five search warrants and four court orders, including one to test a child's blood for drugs at birth.
Not necessarily just a matter of details of the assembly, but also of cache utilization.
My impression (I'd have to do more testing to verify this) is that velostat is not very consistent if you use it as a through-mode FSR (electrical contacts on opposite sides of the FSR) but works quite a bit better as a shunt-mode FSR (electrical contacts on the same side of the FSR as "interdigitized fingers").

The spacing of my traces for the interdigitized fingers is about 8 mils, and the traces are about 6 mils wide. I'm using JLCPCB, and they have no problem with that trace width.

I also use an op-amp (TLV274) in voltage-follower mode as a buffer in front of the ADC inputs.

Sensitronics makes a nice simple test board you can use to test various FSR materials with various trace widths: https://www.sensitronics.com/products-xactresponse.php

(Their website doesn't say so, but the board also comes with samples of their FSR material.)

Here's a (somewhat out of date) schematic showing approximately what I'm doing:
https://github.com/jimsnow/microtonal-controller/blob/main/d...

(The keybed itself is a separate board that I haven't posted the schematic for yet, but it's mostly just a bunch more shift registers and FSR elements. FSR elements are notated as a squiggly line.)

There's a company called Wooting that makes gaming keyboards with analog key travel sensors. Their current design uses magnets and hall effect sensors, but I believe their earlier versions used LEDs, light sensors, and mirrors, which sounds similar to what you're doing.

The meaning of "mainstream" changes throughout the years. Remember that Common Lisp started as quite literally the XKCD joke of "14 competing standards", except it actually worked -- in the sense that this 15th competing standard killed all the other ones and gained widespread adoption in the Lisp community. Tons of vendors threw money and effort at the situation, and it all started as an ARPA manager's idea. Of course, we live in different times now... But Zetalisp is one fairly popular Lisp I can think of that had funcallable objects. Whether the idea was appreciated or preferred over alternatives is a separate thing entirely, of course. I would assume most people would use a simple let-over-lambda to achieve the same effect as funcallable objects.
Do you think they're showing you the full picture?

No it does not.

Only if you deal exclusively with procedures/functions.

With dataflow, that's not the case. You have two filters, and if the first filter detects an error, it just does nothing (i.e it does not pass the value to the second filter). Done.

No need for exceptions or continuations, or weird return types.

I'm not so sure. I got called out on this theory. It would violate GDPR and stuff.

Most articles I can find seem convinced that if you disable YouTube history, it's disabled and not logged. If you delete it, it's deleted and it's gone.

I suppose Google could secretly or surreptitiously log it and save it, but nobody seems able to prove that.

There are certainly a lot of other trails left. Any link, dislike, or comment you leave is a historical marker. Every URL you visit goes into your browser history, so is that disabled too? All your DNS queries, though these won't pinpoint individual videos.
Desirable for whom? Are the beneficiaries of it going to pay for the externalities they are generating, like polluters should?

You can say "ordinary workaday programmers benefit from speed improvements en passant", but they weren't really given a choice in the matter, were they? When programmers are given an explicit binary choice of "correct, but slightly slower", and "wrong, but slightly faster", they pick the former in practically all cases (or they should, at any rate). But they can't make this choice; the compiler and spec writers go behind their backs and construct these inscrutable labyrinths, then blame everyone else for getting lost in them.

That sounds good until you realize that algebra won't help... You're proposing a "scared straight" program, essentially.
>Heating/cooling office buildings might be more efficient than everyone doing this to their homes

On the flipside, how many people even have climate-controlled homes year-round? When I used to live in California, air-conditioning was a rare and valuable treasure in a $3k/month apartment. I think I've heard euros claim they don't have air conditioning, too.
There's some sort of Asian soul (not sure of a good word) in these "repurposing" trends. There's noticeable "versions" of "camping" in Japan and Korea (also Instagram trends). Anecdotally, Japanese have fostered a sort of homeless-aesthetic with camping products. Koreans have fostered a sort of retro-nostalgia-diorama-and-cooking with camping.
I'm Norwegian, but have lived in the UK since 2000, so I've seen the evolution step by step, and UK banks have pretty much just kept adding new steps every time fraud got too bad instead of rethinking things properly. It's infuriating.

Norway has a near universal electronic signature solution not quite the same as your Latvian one but sounds similar-ish (and there's a EU/EEA requirement to require mutual recognition at some point) and it feels much better (e.g. the Norwegian ones allow access to government websites as well, and can be used to sign contracts etc. - I'm assuming the Latvian one has similar options).
Thanks for sharing.

I think the #1 thing most bootstrappers struggle with is finding the right market, idea, validation etc. As much as people say “ideas are overrated” I increasingly think that’s not true, it’s that a good idea has to include things like “can realistically get done by a self-funded tiny team and make revenue soon” which the “idea guys” rarely have.

As far as not coding too much, I’m increasingly finding this true. One thing I’ve noticed is that most non tech founders outsource development and most technical founders don’t even though technical founders can outsource far more efficiently since they can play more of a “tech lead” role rather than hand it to a dev shop. I really regret not hiring designers sooner since I’m bad at it and there’s tons of affordable talented designers on Upwork.

Still, hiring is a little nerve wracking since it eats into your runway. It’s really tough to know when to burn money or time when you have minimal or no revenue. After PMF , hiring makes sense but before then it’s really ambiguous how to make that call.
ChatGPT is too smart to be safe?
Heating and cooling office buildings AND heating and cooling homes is less efficient than just heating and cooling homes. Many people aren't stopping heating/cooling their homes when they leave, or just reduce it, or don't do it at all since there are still other people in the home.

How much suffering is too much?
I mean if your opinion is "somewhere up the call stack, you're handling that exception" and "if you don't, the framework will 500" means you're not pretending nothing can go wrong, then we will never agree, because I absolutely would characterize both of those as pretending nothing can go wrong, at the very least in context at the function call site.

As for your code example, again, that is not analogous to the functional style. The functional style is you have an Either object no different to any other object. You do not if on the object, you do not early return the object in the sad case etc etc. Just throw all notion of all that out the window. You just pass it around without doing anything, or, if you only wanna do something in the happy case, you send in what to do using map, and then keep passing it around. There is zero requirement to handle the error like you seem to imply. Only at the outermost layer do you handle the error, and only if you wish to do so. (if you don't, just fold it into a 400 or 500 or whatever)
That would be something!

It does when access is on public computers, such as in a library or similar shared terminal.
>C was designed to let compilers have a field day so that 1980s supercomputers could get 5% more FP performance, by hook or by crook.

C was designed to help create Unix. It just happened to turn out to be something that could be compiled into more efficient code than most other languages at the time, without being overly difficult to work with.

From what I understand, 80s supercomputers were more likely to run Fortran. Fortran has fewer problems with pointer aliasing than C, so a Fortran compiler could generate better code than a C compiler for the type of code they would be running.
Yes. And as a point of reference for the scales involved:

> Since major groundwater pumping began in the late 1940s, overdraft from the High Plains Aquifer has amounted to 332,000,000 acre-feet (410 km3), 85% of the volume of Lake Erie. [1]

> The Mississippi River passes more than 240 million acre-feet annually at the proposed point of diversion, 30 miles south of Cairo, Ill. During the current flooding, more than 4 million acre-feet per day are flowing at that spot… [2]

The water in the Mississippi river could each year replace all 80 years of overpumping of the aquifer. So with 1-2% water diversion (like I said, not exhausting the river), you could easily substitute that volumetrically. For 5% you could massively irrigate the midwest.

These are truly massive rivers. People in the west don't understand how enormous they are compared to the Colorado and other western rivers.

Unfortunately constexpr doesn't imply constant evaluation. Your function can still potentially be executed at runtime.

If you use the result in an expression that requires a constant (an array bound, a non-type template parameter, a static_assert, or, in c++20, to initialize a constinit variable), then that will force constant evaluation and you'll see the error.

Having said that, compilers have bugs (or simply not fully implemented features), so it is certainly possible that both GCC and clang will fail to correctly catch constant time evaluation UB in some circumstances.

A similar movement happened in Germany a tad later (ca. 1920-1930) with Kurt Schwitters and his Ursonate one of the most prominent examples.

Even public transport can cut back schedules if there is that much less riding going on. While there's less to be saved there, we shouldn't act as if that's for free.

Heating/AC might be the only area where energy consumption isn't reduced by WFH.

If we don't decide social norms by what we consider to be pragmatism, how the hell do we decide them at all? I'm not a big believer in climate change, but when people are driving less, the price of gasoline tends to go down even as I need less of it myself. I can get behind that.

The idea that people must work in the office, even when no one can articulate why that's a good idea, is some obscure form of lunacy that is transmitted by being bitten by rabid upper management.

> If we all followed Dieter Rams' silly advice, all of our computers would still be boring beige boxes, maybe covered in stickers "for the user's self-expression."

Parent should have quoted the entire set, in which good design...

- is innovative
- makes a product useful
- is aesthetic
- makes a product understandable
- is unobtrusive
- is honest
- is long-lasting
- is thorough down to the last detail
- is environmentally friendly
- is minimal

Dieter Rams and the Ulm functionalist school of thought differed from the immediately preceding minimalists ("less is more") by accepting that design exists and needs to be great on multiple planes: e.g. function, aesthetic, psychological, etc. (many of which are human and subjective!)

To chisel functionalism in industrial design down to something I can fit in a HN comment, my takeaway was that their central tenant was 'Have a specific useful vision, that values your user above yourself, and optimize everything in service to that vision.'

With the understanding that designed objects aren't paintings and must have a utility component.

PS: I would also have a long disagreement about fanciful graphical representations of computing in visual media as a metaphor intended to convey an experience to a computer-illiterate audience, versus a kitschy misunderstanding of reality. ;-)

Antarctica is a huge white block of ice too. That reflects a lot of sunlight.
If some form of UB is impossible to detect, then the compiler cannot do anything about it either, making the whole debate useless. Any action taken by a compiler relating to UB must be for some cause that is detectable at compilation time.

Artificial sweeteners are, as a class, extra fattening. They are absolutely counterproductive to anyone trying to reduce weight or indulgence in sweet foods.

The sweeteners are far sweeter than anything in nature, and so they trick the body into going into a sugar-processing mode, but there's no sugar to be had, so the pancreas goes absolutely nuts. Artificial sweeteners are essentially malware that you're putting into your body to hack its processes.

When email was monospace text, the whole ASCII art thing was glorious. People added ANSI escape codes and gave us e.g. the glowing, blinking Chernobyl cows, in plain email. I also remember seeing a giant ASCII art 'high-res' nude somewhere, intended to be printed on a matrix printer, on 5 or 6 pages of continuous paper (Long-legged she was.)

Writing this, I wonder what desperate marketing attention whores would produce with ASCII art.

A well-supported package, plus several tools that you can learn once and use the same for any language or combo of languages. And those will still work when you have to git-bisect back to a version of your project that doesn’t have built-in .env setting.

Shipping this specific thing with nodejs seems deeply pointless to me.

Plus, having my program auto-monkey with its own environment, even optionally, feels… wrong. I should define it (or something should on my behalf) and the program should accept what it gets. Else, why even use env vars? Just use a config toml or some shit. But that part reasonable people could disagree over.
Go it's modelled after plan9'C [1-9]c = go cross compiling, and Limbo so it has a lot of sense. Both come from the same people after all. Unix->Unix8 -> Plan9 -> Go.
+1. Part of the problem is that x86 assembly is hardly programming the metal anymore. The performance characteristics of processors has changed over the years also, compilers can be more up-to-date than humans.
to further your point: I've used the technique launching a separate python process for performance critical operations for years on different projects. I can run it in a completely different priority set as well.
