Like they said, that's the minimum. Usually those are efficient enough so you can have a single window unit with a pane in the middle, but quadruples are common too.

Unfortunately, having more panes of glass does not automatically mean you get more energy efficiency.

The triples with very good insulation and coatings (eg. heat rejection) can be better than old quadruples. My parents have quadruple windows from the 80's, and energy efficiency is much better in a modern triple single unit than with the two doubles they have.
Won't the compiler optimize it away even without constexpr or const? The compiler can see it doesn't get changed.

I've gone through the same in Australia and the "modern double glazing" in practice meant importing windows from Poland. Literally shipping around the world was the most reasonable option a few years ago (hopefully it's better today) while really crappy houses burning energy to heat/cool every room are still being built as a default idea.
So if I created a drug that cured drug addiction, corrected most psychological disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar, OCD, etc.), and raised IQ by 50 points (to get that "worthless" lower 50% up above the current average,
that would be enough?

In fact I have created such a drug. Unfortunately at the moment I have neither the time to write down nor is this post sufficiently capacious to allow delineation of the significant factors involved in the development of the drug. However I do resolve to do so at a later time.

I have been offered billions to NOT release this drug or its derivatives b/c it's use would severely disrupt the USA wage structure: wages would plummet (as a tremendous number of highly-qualified amped-IQ former homeless entered the market), immigrants would suffer and indeed, everyone doing well would suffer. I have refrained from releasing the drug not for that reason but b/c, were I to do so, everyone who posts on HN would then hate me!8-)) But I digress...

My point is that, if we cured this problem(drug addiction) we would only be creating other problems. The only solutions that could work are socially unacceptable. Nonetheless I personally favor the "Golgafrinchan Ark Fleet Ship B" solution from "Hitchikers' Guide to the Galaxy":

Navy + carrier good for peacetime "diplomacy" via show of force / presence. Hence worth pursuing in some capacity. But ultimately PRC can't have world spanning navy because geopolitical conditions to replicate US global basing not present anymore - would take status quo / order changing conflict. And it would still take decades to train for 10+ carrier groups for parity. Therefore (IMO) PRC doubling down on long range (even global) fires, advanced rocketry that can be acquired and deployed at scale, in relatively short time, to destroy prestige platform from PRC mainland basing, without complex forward deployment or doctorine considerations. Basically make sure you have more missiles and ISR with sufficient CEP than enemies can defend/degrade. Hit aircraft carriers, subs, when they're in port, or the 10 fast combat support ships that sustains most of USN critical deployement options. For as large USN is, the system that sustains fleet is extremely brittle (same with PLAN) - carrier escorts have days of endurance on aggressive tasking. Would take PRC rocketry _minutes_ to take out replenishment ship restocking at port and carriers become single deployment assets. This kind of capability was not technically feasible 10-20 years ago - none of US adversaries could disrupt USN logistics. But now is.

IMO US pretty much understands this as well, for as much reporting there is on dysfunction of navy and urgent need to fix, there hasn't been much actions instead we see doubling down on distributed land based fires and increasing aviation standoff range, and ultimately long range bombers strait from CONUS to reduce basing dependencies abroad.

Note that this very much includes new tabs as well. Do not add target=_blank without a very good reason since this breaks the user agent defaults. One very bad reason: internal links stay in my tab, but external links open in a new tab. No they don’t, they never have, & your website is not a snowflake. What you did is remove agency as there are a myriad of ways to override how to open a link in new window/tab from the user input side, but there is no way to do this to keep it in the current tab/window because it’s expected to be the default behavior.

No, this is a common misconception.

God is not "beyond the universe", He is Creator of the Universe, and as such, intimately connected and involved with it. In fact our understanding of the universe has been quite advanced for millennia; religion didn't "supplant" any "absence" but religion is a science of the supernatural. It is the synthesis of our knowledge about how God has manifested Himself to us.

God is, of course, beyond all our understanding, and we can never fully know Him or His ways, but we can approach that understanding, and hear His voice, and see Him in one another. If you take a look at the universe and study it, you will see how God is manifested in that universe; His fingerprints are all over it; His very breath gives it life.

The Holy Trinity is indeed three specific Persons. It is possible to be very specific and precise and know God, as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and we draw closer to a specific person. We do not draw closer to "the unknown" or an "absence" in the universe. That would be horrific. In fact that is the definition of Hell.
Literally all ideas about carbon capture are quickly revealed to be cynical greenwashing if you think about one simple thing: how much CO2 do we need to store to offset global emissions?

The answer is that we need to store almost 40B tonnes of CO2, or around 10B tonnes of C if we break that down, every year. That's something on the order of 1500 great pyramids of Giza (which weighs 6M tonnes) worth of carbon every year.

Unless and until emissions are reduced to a tiny minuscule fraction of current ones, carbon capture will not do even one iota to help with global warming.
There’s a really obvious difference of scale, where you could kill millions without needing millions yourself. The implications when it comes to terrorism are scary. In that sense it’s similar to the threat of nuclear weapons, but the technology will be more accessible and more precise, able to target people based on things like race. You can also destroy all the people in an area without harming the resources/environment/structures, etc.

That is true about float glass plants but for a different, very interesting reason.

Float glass plants work by literally floating a thin sheet of molten glass on top of a giant tank of liquid tin. They have a swimming pool of liquid tin, float molten glass on top, and then push it along the tank length wise.

The glass and tin is then gradually cooled until the glass is solidified. It's then cut into pieces, cooled and stacked.

If the thing suddenly stops, or there is a hiccup of some kind, the thermal expansion of the glass, along with its extreme hardness (lack if strength) it will just shatter the whole mile long sheet of glass. My understanding is that it takes the better part of a year to recover from something like this.

In aluminum, its basically electroplating. They basically electroplate the aluminum out of the ore onto the ingots. My understanding is that takes a few weeks to a month to recover from a similar incident.
Being able to restart it at all makes it better than a lot of industries. Many of these liquid-metal affairs depend on convection and inertia to keep the metal molten, and if it solidifies inside a pipe—well, then you don't have a pipe anymore; you have a bimetal pole.

Or ceramic cladding for an iron pole, depending.

Either way it's a rebuild, not a restart.
It's my second language. Is it not correct to call a half-brother your brother in English?

I have a hard time seeing this going anywhere. Features of lens sharpness and manual controls seem at odds with the intent of spontaneity and the lack of medium quality, so much of your effort is thrown away once you print. In none of their samples for aperture/shutter/auto did I even see the typical differences between the modes such as bokeh or motion softness due to let us say limited sensor size and print quality. Or their samples were just poor as showcases.

In that case, addons to polaroidize your smartphone (printer for smartphone) seems like a much better idea since you already carry a large set of controls to influence an output in your favorite apps, and already designed with the outset of limited optics (e.g. fake bokeh), and indeed that product already exists. You’ll also have digital copies to reproduce the Polaroids at will (multiple friends/family etc)

With the dropoff of local networks and cable-cutters,the sports leagues are going to start direct-streaming the games themselves and capture advertiser and viewer revenue directly. MLB.tv is a primary example. They already have the technology and the brand reach.

All they have to do is add color commentary (post-game shows, direct interviews with players and coaches) and the value of local TV sports networks and intermediaries like ESPN will drop off to zero.

Only thing ESPN will have going for it is cross-sports content, like SportsCenter. Not sure that's enough to keep them going.

Once the cable and local network deals expire, the league streamers would be smart to do away with local blackouts, and then there would be no reason for fans to just buy the league streaming service directly.

Two things here.

1. As an SRE, it becomes even more important to get the big picture of all things that make the a company’s systems and services tick. I’ve been surprised by the lack of high level block diagrams explaining from this perspective. The diagrams are often from the perspective of devs as they build the nitty gritty details. It can be quite daunting for a new SRE, even more so for a new grad. On the other hand, I usually spend my first month documenting everything I learn in the first month as an SRE, and it becomes the guide that gets passed on to future SREs.

2. The thought of preparing educative materials to onboard a new grad(vs an experienced engineer who is expected to only match their experience to the company specifics) is often missing even in highly organised and functional shops. Nurturing and helping a new grad into the company specific things is a lot more rewarding and advantageous in the long run. There are almost always these pockets of tribal knowledge that exists among the senior folks who were there when some problems were solved. It is counter productive to the team as every time someone touches those sections, they seek the review/approval from those that possess that tribal knowledge.
Well try to write down a concrete chemical reaction to achieve this and you will be disappointed. Light atoms like carbon don't like to stay close to each other at room temperature. You need to pour a lot of energy into chemical bonds between them to make that happen.

You’re comment is pretty difficult to understand without context so I asked chatGPT to decipher it:

Certainly! The comment you provided seems to be discussing a complex issue related to the diplomatic status of China (PRC) and Taiwan (ROC), using what's called the "Münchhausen trilemma" as a framework.

1A) Is China (PRC) a part of Taiwan (ROC)?
1B) Is China (PRC) an independent and sovereign country?
2A) Is Taiwan (ROC) a part of China (PRC)?
2B) Is Taiwan (ROC) an independent and sovereign country?

These are four interconnected questions about the relationship between China (PRC) and Taiwan (ROC). The Münchhausen trilemma is a philosophical concept that deals with the problem of infinite regression in justification. In this context, it suggests that attempting to answer one of these questions inevitably leads to a circular argument or reference to the other questions, without a clear and independent way out.

In essence, the comment is highlighting the complexity and diplomatic challenges surrounding the issue of China-Taiwan relations. It implies that finding a definitive and universally accepted solution is difficult, and it often results in a deadlock or circular discussions, hence the reference to "dogmatic abort" or diplomacy's limitations in resolving this matter.
