Test test test. If that’s not enough, pick better tools. I’m rewriting bash scripts in rust at work because it gives me the ability to make many invalid states impossible to represent in code. Is it overkill? Maybe, but it is such a huge quality of life improvement.

Automated things can fail. Sure. But consider that playbooks are just crappy automation run by unreliable meat computers.

Also you can take an iterative approach to automation:

- manual playbook only

- automate one step of the playbook

- if it goes well, move to another. If not, run a retro to figure out out how you can improve it and try again.

Stress of failure at a job responsible for deployment architecture is manageable if you have a team and culture built around respecting that stress. There are some areas of code people are more careful around, but largely we make safety a product of our tools and processes and not some heroic “try harder not to screw up” attitude.

I find the impact of helping so many developers and their companies rewarding.
That's very different from benefit. Also I don't see how that's related to what your original comment was arguing for (cost of replacing stoves).

Maybe I should add that I do agree with your conclusion (that replacing the stoves makes sense). I just disagree with the argument from "basic thermodynamics" which gives you "100% confidence".
But not efficiently. Scientists think the polyps absorb bicarbonate and calcium ions and deposit calcium carbonate, but they're not really sure of the bio/chemical process involved.

Regardless, a polyp adds about 1mm to 1cm to the reef a year. You can get that right now just by throwing a shovel at the ground where I live.
You are misinformed.

Apple Watch 1 had five years of OS upgrades. Watch OS 6 was the first to drop Series 1.
For anyone who doesn't understand the above comment, it's a reference to the movie Stargate, where the pyramids end up being primitive landing pads created by human slave labour for parasitic aliens posing as human gods.

It sounds like a generic Hollywood knockoff of newage psuedoscience, but it ends up being an enjoyable sci-fi series centred on wormhole travel and how technologically superior civilisations can fall.
Why does a 1 hour cycle wash better than a two hour cycle? This article is pretty light on details.
The IPCC is a panel of climate doomers. It exists mainly to promote globalism and secure funding for “scientists” who are willing to sell their soul to the political powerful.

“Scientific consensus” has little bearing on truth. In Galileo Galilei's time, the scientific consensus was that the Sun revolves around the Earth (and this was not just the view of the Catholic Church, it was endorsed by renowned and accomplished astronomers like Tycho Brahe!) And yet it moved!

If you have blind faith in globalist institutions like the IPCC then there is nothing I can say to change your mind, anymore than I can debate the existence of God with a Catholic who believes the Pope is the highest authority on the subject. I wish you good luck with your trust in globalist authority, and if it is any solace to you: the massive deaths predicted by the IPCC will probably not occur. Though by the time that will be clear, the narrative will probably be changed to some variant of “we never said climate change was going to be that bad” or “it only didn't turn out that bad because of our decisive action”.

Great news! Just like all the other times!
It was called Tapir User Manager but the web site was down for some time. It was an open source failure but a career success because I used it around 8 projects including the arXiv preprint service, a voice chat service that got 400,000+ users, and the web site for our county green party (which had national impact.)
I can read and catch up on many group text messages very quickly but having to go through dozens of voice messages sounds much more time consuming, even if you can choose faster speeds.

Plus, unless you're a superb on the spot thinker or on a rip that day, it can be hard to express longer thoughts in one shot and having to rerecord is also not appealing. With text, you can edit it easily.
There's also the upcoming Thinkpad Z13 Gen 2, which is rumored to come out either this month or next month. I have the Gen 1 with a Zen 3+ CPU and it's been fantastic under Nobara (a gaming-optimized Fedora derivative) - everything works out-of-the-box including suspend/resume, and I get playable framerates even on recent games (40-45 FPS on Diablo 4) under Wine/Proton-GE.

Another option is getting a Framework laptop. The Zen 4 Frameworks are expected to start shipping from next month onwards.

Yes, I'm an SUV driver. And after decades of denigrating SUV drivers, I find myself being one of them.

For myself, I prefer a small, manoeuvrable car. One of my favorite cars in my lifetime was a Leyland Mini (about 1973 vintage).

Why would I purposely pick a huge monstrosity with an absolutely maddeningly large turning-circle? It's my wife's mobility scooter. An SUV is large enough to contain that mobility scooter without its parts overflowing to most of the back seat, and turning a 5-passenger car into a 2-passenger car.

There is a slight difference to me as having another service run (the API) is an additional attack vector to worry about from a security perspective.

I would also say it's easier to enforce good "IaC hygiene" when the configs are managed via configuration files. They can go through a code review process, deployed via existing config management systems etc.

The carrying capacity of Earth is approximately 4,000,000,000 humans. We have twice as much.

The only way we can have a chance (we really don't, but let's entertain the idea) is to have every person reduce their environmental footprint as much as possible.

The other alternative is the elites replacing the masses with AI, and use autonomous means to capture all resources.

I think both you and the author just don't like AWK if that's the takeaway. What you're describing is literally 1% of the AWK language -- like you don't have to like it, it's weird in many respects but you're treating AWK like it's jq when it's actually closer to like a Perl-Lite/Bash mix. An AWK focused on just those use-cases would look very different.

One of my favorite resources on AWK: https://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Awk.html
Then you have to reimplement method call count when you need to assert something was called in your interface-based mock; and reimplement differing returns based on input or call count; and maybe reimplement throwing exceptions when those are necessary to test not-so-happy paths.

In the end you'll have an implementation of the interface with quite complex logic in the methods' implementation to handle differing returns, which will couple your mock implementation to the test cases setup, or you'll reimplement a mocking framework.

I prefer to use a mocking framework to deliver stuff instead of stabbing myself to keep purity of interface-based APIs.
It doesn't matter how many people. What matters is how many vehicles.

There are about 1.5 billion vehicles on the road globally. About a quarter of them are in Europe, another quarter in the US and Canada, and another quarter in China.

Those three regions account for about 75% of motor vehicle use. Build the EV infrastructure in those regions and you solve 75% of the global infrastructure problem.

What a weird article.

For example: "And yes, it is crazy, if not also bad environmental public policy that the federal government regulates the robot in my kitchen that cleans and dries the dishes; and keeps changing the rules to the point that the machine first invented in 1886 no longer accomplishes its purpose."

> For instance, I recall sitting next to a table of 9/11-truthers meeting up at a coffee shop. Their discussions kept circling back to the sheer implausibility of a fire causing structural beams to buckle. People don't have intuition for jet-fuel-hot fires; nor skyscraper-high gravitational potential energy.

They might, if they think for a few minutes about how metalworking works.

> I'd like to hope that at least problem 2) could be ameliorated if good laboratory-based educational experiences were widespread enough

I think a lot of this comes from people being alienated from working with the physical world. Blacksmiths probably have extremely accurate everyday intuitions about how metal behaves under extreme heat.
> If their actions resulted in the death of someone else, then who are you supposed to blame?

If the driver's boss put a gun to their head and forced them to drive, it would clearly be the boss who was liable. Now replace the gun with the threat of insolvency and their kids living on the street. That's enough to push most people to bend the rules a little and take a few risks. If the boss isn't also held financially (or even criminally) liable then they have no reason (other than their own ethics) not to apply this kind of pressure.

> allowing people like truck drivers to pass liability onto the system they operate within, [...] allows that system to abuse them further.

If it allows the system to abuse them further, then the liability isn't being properly passed along. The auditing etc. that you suggest will only be implemented by trucking companies if it's in their interests to do so. Making the company (or even the company directors, personally) liable for breaches is the only way to ensure that kind of top-down compliance.
The myth that a dishwasher is more efficient than handwashing is perhaps the biggest hoodwink perpetrated on the millennial consumer.

Those are only second worst. What's worst is when there's also no border or any other indication that it's interactable rather than just an icon. Actually, that's only second worst: I've seen radio buttons used for multiselection. That goes beyond merely unhelpful to outright trickery.

Those topics seem too broad (and shallow?) for anyone to curate the firehouse effectively. There’s too much noise unless one is more selective.
Sorry to hear that. But you should probably just accept that the answer is not contained in either of the two options you offer.
Drag via the prop is nowhere going to reduce load at all. The resistence is the same and the force is square of the speed and surface area. So some drag ain’t doing anything. Even in a dangerous sea a drogue and lines would help, but way more than the surface area of a slowly or free spinning prop would offer.

The reason I left it out is not because I want to "glorify" him but rather that I have no specific knowledge of his "bad technique". All I know is that he had a reputation for being an asshole. I have no reason to doubt that this reputation was well deserved, but I don't have any specific knowledge one way or the other.

I have no idea what that means. What does "un-enthusaistic" language look like?
Transport makes up a quarter of emissions and electricity 40%. Smaller, but not very much smaller. The three biggest emitters are electricity, transport and heating in that order, and that is the order that we're attacking them in.

Hybrid sailboats are already a thing. An electric motor/generator sits in line with the traditional diesel engine and can a) drive the prop shaft, b) harvest power when the engine is turning the prop shaft, c) generate power by running the engine with the prop shaft clutch disengaged, or d) (the one you’re getting at) passively generate power when under sail by disengaging the clutch from the engine side and letting the prop spin the generator.

Sailboat props are often variable pitch to allow for better efficiency (i.e. they can be turned completely parallel with the flow of water when not in use), which also allows them to be set at an optimal angle for power generation (with minor speed losses, obviously).
Thank you.

In layman's terms, pH is a scale for measuring alkalinity vs acidity. Calcium is supposedly alkaline and high levels of intracellular calcium is associated with cell death (apoptosis).

So, for example, some people with CF avoid calcium because they think excess calcium causes cell death. But I think most likely excess calcium -- along with high levels of intracellular glutathione -- are a desperate attempt to buffer against something, including but not limited to excess acid.

So that's really what I'm interested in understanding. And also would love to see confirmation that calcium stores helped life leave the ocean and that wasn't something stupid and stated in error.

Though people with CF also likely misprocess sodium bicarbonate, in addition to being prone to very early onset osteoporosis (as early as their teens).
I think this is an example of hindsight not always being 20/20

If you replace each step of the post mortem with a CI/CD based alternative, you miss out on the fact CI/CD trivializes designs where this wouldn't have happened.

The "easy default" wouldn't be to run a play against 8 hosts manually in your terminal, it'd be run a playbook with them all baked in, and that would fail correctly by default: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbook_guide/playb...

The key here is CI/CD makes it so its actually less work to run that one play than it is to shoot yourself in the foot with 8 separate invocations.

Even in the fact of incompetence/laziness/oversight, the general framework makes the right choice

I get that, and I believe most dish washers have an "express cycle" that'll run in significantly less time when you need.
> “These playas weren’t formed in a day. If they get torn up, they may restore themselves, but it may take a while,” Verburg said. “It’s going to be a real challenge to assess what those impacts are going to be and what the best way to mitigate it is.”

yeah, as the article mentions, Bureau of Land Management also noted this possible scenario in their permitting assessment

basically, this is a theoretical worst case scenario and nobody knows anything. despite the community's best efforts and ethos to leave no trace.

but it also might not be that worst case as it is really understudied, something to keep an eye on. it is an interesting ecosystem and its good to be cognizant of it. but even if it failed to be preserved, it is strange how people act like this particular festival is so unique in that regard though, although I think its principles and expense ask for criticism.
As a longtime P90X (video workout series) devotee, I’ve enjoyed a similar effect before the trackers. As Tony Horton says, “keep showing up, keep pressing play.” Routine creates healthy habits.
They can, but you need a suitable equipment- thicker wires, at a minimum. Wiring in parallel means the voltage is the same regardless of the number of panels, but the current sums up- so your inverter and/ or controller will need to be rated appropriately.

A reductio ad absurdum argument does not apply here because I, nor anyone else here, has ever claimed that economic theories have to satisfy all potential possibilities arbitrarily far into the future. In fact no one in this comment chain has even raised the mention of it other than you.

The article is IMO quite unclear. I tried to understand what's actually going on. From the actual rule in the Federal Register (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/10/30/2020-23...):

> Moreover, the current standard requires standard residential dishwashers to not exceed 307 kWh/year and 5.0 gallons per cycle for the “Normal” cycle. 10 CFR 430.32(f)(1)(i). Consistent with the results of the Department's evaluation of dishwashers offering a 60 to 90 minute “Quick” cycle, DOE's has identified an innovative opportunity for the further development of a dishwasher model offering a “Normal” cycle of one hour or less.

I think the issue is that manufacturers struggle to get good cleaning performance subject to the 307 kWh/year, 5 gallon per cycle rule unless the cycle is very slow, and the DOE has indicated that it will allow more water and/or more energy usage for faster dishwashers.

(Speaking of water usage, I find it odd that dishwashers don't seem to do a final spray with fresh (non-recirculated) water. I would gladly use an extra 1/4 - 1/2 gallon per load to get a freshwater rinse at the end.

P.S. What's up with kWh/year anyway? Surely it should be kWh per cycle with an added restriction on additional power used when not running.
That's quite the logical leap.

That is still only 1.7B gallons of water total. ~7M cubic meters or ~5200 acre-foot.

Bulk desalinated water is ~0.50 $/m^3, so that is only $3.5M of water. I guess you could charge them $3.5M for their water usage?

https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/farm-practices-management/ir...

To compare with farming, farming averages ~1.5 acre-foot per acre of irrigated land, so that is only ~3,500 acres of farmland which is a lower-middle size farm. The US irrigates around 58M acres, so that is around 0.006% (6/100,000) of US agricultural water usage.

Go comes with this kind of “public” and “private” separation. Only the private tests can access private functions. It also serves to differentiate which tests are for API documentation, which the API must conform to forevermore, and which were used to help with development and can be considered throwaway.

I'm not sure why all testing frameworks don't have this.
