Maybe it is less risky to hunt smaller prey and the humans that learned to do so were favored. Doesn't explain the decline in the large prey animals, but that might be coincidence.
(Note: All of this applies to Australia, if it's much different for your country, please share!)

The one that pains me is ovens. They are hugely power hungry and here many models have a very tiny amount of insulation (unless you get a "pyrolitic" model that heats up to 500C to burn the oil off, they have better insulation by requirement of that).

We have no energy rating for ovens, so no real incentive to improve. The vast majority are also installed by builders when the house is built, so consumers never even make a choice in the first place. You can also imagine that also pushes most builders to the bottom end of the market. I'm also still always surprised how expensive ovens can be for how simple they are.

Most of them now also have a fan to run air around the the outside of the unit so it doesn't overheat the cupboard around it (but not all) which is perhaps also a hint at the poor insulation. The cheap builder model I most recently pulled apart had such poor insulation and gaps all around it.

Choice's most recent review has running cost per year ranging from $310 to $651 (this is unfortunately behind a paywall):
https://www.choice.com.au/home-and-living/kitchen/ovens/revi...

"The running costs are calculated based on running the oven at 170°C for one hour, three times per week for 10 years at 30c per kWh. Where available, the fan-forced function is used, otherwise, the fan-assist is used. For models without either function, the top and bottom elements (convection or traditional bake) are used."

That's also probably generous since you often run a higher temp and I suspect 200-220C might make a big difference in that cost.

It's a good reason to make use of appliances like air fryers (which despite the name are mostly just ovens), they heat a much smaller space and use a lot less power as a result.

Unfortunately the ever shrinking house makes storing and using such things increasingly difficult. Microwaves are also only 50% effeceient (a surprise I recently learnt).

I know why we don't have it, and energy ratings are partly a proxy for it, but I always wished the average consumer had easy ways to be more informed about trade-offs exactly like this article talks about. You can trade energy effeciency for a slower cycle - that's partly why most washers these days have many different cycle options - you're trading one thing for another - but most of the time they just tell you the name of the situation they are supposedly for without even a hint at maybe how much more or less energy or water or delicacy you are trading off. The same reason product reviews are never clear cut because everyone has different priorities :)
This is an English sentence with grammatical structure, yet no coherent meaning.

If I can be approved for a mortgage or have cash on hand, and have someone agree to sell me a house, and I sign a contract with them to purchase said house on such-and-such a date, and I fulfill my end of the deal and don't default on the contract, then yes, I am entitled to ownership of a single house. Because I bought it fair and square, and it's now legally mine. Just like if I were to stop making payments on said house, the bank would then seize it, and then I wouldn't be entitled to own that house any more, because I defaulted. This is not rocket science.

“Joseph Fourier is now famous for the scientific equations that bear his name, but two centuries ago he was prominent in the world of Egyptologists.”

In fact, as it’s related, it was at Fourier’s house that Champollion first saw the hieroglyphs as an early teen, and, hearing that no one can read them, decided to dedicate his life to their decipherment.

An interesting tangential thought inspired by the article: nowadays it’s common for scientists to be lectured that in addition to truth they also need to consider how their findings will be used; that, if it’s possible that a finding may bolster the wrong argument, maybe it’s better not to undertake that research. I wonder what Champollion thought about this, given how his dating of the artifact supported the religious side that he knew was wrong.
I run a sub for trying to foster better information for people wanting to take temporary or seasonal jobs in Alaska. Alaska needs teachers, truckers and seasonal workers for the fishing industry.

I think there is substantial room for helping both Alaska and other parts of the PNW to address their various needs by improving connections and information flow. I just don't know how to singlehandedly architect it or I would be starting various businesses rooted in that goal.

Conventional restaurants in the West tend to abuse food with excessive salt, cream, oil, and/or sugar. The more health conscious nouveau (as opposed to health-washed pseudo-healthy dining) have somewhat reversed this trend with more raw and simpler ingredients. To be fair, mainland PRC (non-Cantonese) traditional restaurant food is bland by overall world-average standards. Cantonese food tends to be arguably a notch or 2 richer like Vietnamese food, but not as much as Westernized Thai, Indian, or Korean food which tend to be very strong.

General advice is: ask for the toppings or dressing on the side rather than smothered with 1k kcal of ranch dressing. No wonder Westerners have weight problems.
Oh, right…

If you need the dish or garment now (or quickly), it's an issue.

If you're not going to be in, or need to process multiple loads (more likely for laundry than dishes) then long cycles turn the process into an all-day, or multi-day, function.

I still prefer hand-washing dishes in most cases as it occurs in parallel with meal prep and eating (fill sink, soak cooking and prep pots and utensils whilst eating, finish and wash table dishes afterward, pop onto a drying rack. Ten minutes. Can be a conversation / bonding time with a partner, or a good time to listen to audiobooks, podcasts, music, etc., if solo.

With a dishwasher, I'm constantly fishing out, and hand-washing, pots, utensils, or dishes that I need either before or during the wash cycle (which takes > 1 hour). Hand-washing that item alone? 1 minute tops.

If you have a large family, there's potential time savings. Solo or couple? Not so much.

As for efficiency: for dishwashers vs. fill sink / soak / scrub, there's little effective difference in water or energy, and the cycle time is far shorter.
Looks like nothing much has changed on Microsoft's end.

I posted this 2 years ago on HN[1] about how Microsoft goes out of its way to manipulate users when they search for "Firefox" on Bing using Edge:

> Tangentially related, but I recently spun up a Windows VM and used Edge to search Bing for "Firefox" and this is result I got[2].

> It's a giant banner that says, "You're already browsing in Microsoft Edge. Keep using to get world class performance with more privacy, more productivity, and more value."

> That banner is followed by another giant banner image telling me to get "Get Robux using Microsoft Edge. Join Microsoft Rewards and use Microsoft Edge. Get a 100 Robux eGift Card on us when you search with Microsoft Bing on Microsoft Edge for 5 days after you join."

> I had to scroll to even see the relevant search results for my search term. I'm assuming most non-power users won't scroll because they were just assured that they were "already browsing in Microsoft Edge", which is apparently more private, productive and valuable than what they intended to search for.

Most tracker apps have a setting you can apply that indicates which wrist you’re wearing it on, your dominant or your non-dominant hand. This is mostly so that the steps algorithm can adjust (somewhat imperfectly) for how your dominant hand sees a lot more motion throughout the day. As such a couple questions are interesting here:

1) are you using that setting, and is it set correctly?
2) are you by any chance ambidextrous?

Regarding accuracy in general, a quick scan of the abstract didn’t comment on it, just noting that people who wear trackers tend to be more active and have the health benefits associated with that.

In general, step tracking at the wrists is actually fairly difficult and many activities both interfere with recognizing steps (walking a stroller is a big one) or register as steps despite not having taken any (washing the dishes will get you a lot of steps). There’s a reason Fitbit has allowed for wearing a tracker on your hip for many years. You can also enable step tracking on your phone, and it will be quite accurate as long as your phone is in a hip pocket.

All of that said, the latest research on the subject shows that you’re best off being active, where activity is defined as 150 minutes per week of heart-rate elevating activity, whether that’s walking or something else. There’s also a strong effect for walking immediately after a meal that has some separate benefit with respect to regulating blood sugar. If you can combine the two, even better.
My dog (a dachshund/rat terrier mutt) once dug up and ate whole bulbs of garlic from our garden. Terrified, we took him to the vet. The vet said "if garlic was likely to hurt terriers, there would be no terriers."

I'm not suggesting anyone run out and feed their dog a bunch of garlic on purpose - that would be dumb - but if you look at the toxicity data, a 30 lb dog would need to eat something like 200 grams of garlic to have a serious problem.

> I think TDD is an abomination

I'm intrigued. TDD may bring way more pomp and circumstance than it deserves, but when you get right down to it all it says is:

1. Write a test first so that its failure state is proven.

2. Test behaviour, not implementation.

I have certainly been caught in haste writing a test after the fact, messing it up – in a way that saw it pass, and then later realized that it wasn't actually testing anything. #1 solves a real problem.

Which must mean the abomination is the behaviour testing? Do you really care about the implementation, though? Surely that can be considered throwaway? You are not going to gain anything asserting that you used bubble sort and have that assertion fail when you update your code to use quick sort.
No continuous deployment system worth its salt would allow configuration and code to be out of sync. They had a configuration change to turn on a flag that used to enable Power Peg but now enabled something else, plus a code change to reinterpret that flag differently.

Hello,

I'm a Master of Science in Computer Science student at USC with a proven track record as a Backend Developer in a fast-paced startup within the creator economy.

Currently, I am gaining valuable experience as a Full Stack Engineer during my internship at Supplyframe, an electronic value chain company. I am eagerly seeking new opportunities starting in January to further contribute my skills and expertise to innovative projects

Lets connect and discuss how I can be a strong fit for your team or organization.
To add to that. kWh/year obviously defines an underlying assumption of the number of cycles. That definition just allows to also account for standby time. Hence it's a better overall number to target.
I want this to be good. I would happily use something like this for my "bootstrap" knowing that a lot of thought has been put into it.

IMHO that is the peak of user-hostile behaviour. The urge to pull the power cord or hit the reset button when I encounter things like that is very hard to resist because of how insulting it feels, but I do wonder if most of the user population have already been beaten into submission and consider it only a minor annoyance and almost trivial.
> although I think its principles and expense ask for criticism.

... do they though?

"Ah, but in your 'leave no trace' ethos, you forgot to consider the atmosphere! Ha HA! Checkmate!"

"And your radical inclusion principles mean that you have to put up with billionaires at your big counterculture party!"

It's just a bizarre attitude. "How dare you try and make things better if you fail do them perfectly?"

Meanwhile no one would bat an eye at a monster truck rally or whatever.

I realize I'm pissing into the wind here but it's weird how readily people will find reasons not to like a thing if they've already decided not to like it.
I wonder if the kWh/year factors in some information about the size of a typical load.
It might be too hard without the right team.
A map that can skip itens is normally called a filter_map

But can it produce more than one item as well?

So it's like, for each item of the iterator/stream/sequence, it can produce 0, 1, or any number of items?

Then it's like Haskell's bind (the >>= of the Monad instance) for lists, or Rust's flat_map for iterators, and flatMap in javascript as well
You'd have to call+ask. It was a thing circa 2012. It's been awhile but the woman who ran Waypoint was a racer on the America3 team. It was more of a courtesy to other racers than an Uber Eats thing. Dunno if she's still there or if they still do it.
Kaiser is great.

It really is a comprehensive system that rewards providers based on outcomes.

When you have a medical emergency, you’re covered. It’s pretty simple.

In PPO systems, you’re always fighting to understand when you are covered, at which hospital, by which doctor, using what machine. Sure there is choice, but how often do you actually have an informed opinion on what expert can best help you with whatever is happening to you in the moment?

With an HMO you either go into any hospital in an emergency and it’s covered for emergency care, or you go to one of their hospitals if it’s not an emergency. Very simple.

In my experience the level of care is great and everyone is actually trying to make sure you have the best outcome.
You should try tiktok. It's great.
//Most people choose doctors based on friend/family referrals and Yelp reviews, meaning they don't know how to choose a doctor. Reviews/referrals have no relation to health outcomes.

People don't have access to doctors' health outcome data.

Are there any useful proxies for that ?

We're talking about new theories here, not well-accepted theories.
While you obviously don't want to leave washing wet for many hours all the time, if they are getting stinky within a few hours you likely have notable bacteria and scud build up in your machine that could be resolved. That has been my experience. Do you do a semi-regular hot cleaning cycle? (My washer has one built in and prompts you to run it every 40 cycles) but you can just do a hot, empty load as a substitute. Possibly ideally with some washing machine cleaner though I don't use that often. There is also the option of pulling it apart for a deep clean.

It doesn't work with every laundry layout (luckily does for me) but I have found leaving the door open so it can dry out is very helpful to prevent mould built up on the doors etc at least. Not sure how much it effects the bacteria/scud/etc - could even make scud worse to some degree since deposits dry out I guess.

Another tip that I only recently learnt is that you can dry washing with a dehumifier at a rate not that much slower than a clothes dryer (6-ish hours). Also at a rate cheaper or comparable to a heat pump dryer. That may be a good option for your staged washing if you're happy to hang the clothes out.

On my washer at least the hour cycle does a pretty good job of things though in theory you're supposed to only wash like 3-4KG instead of 8-11 like in the 2-3 hour cycles.

Two things I am reasonably sure matter but have not looked into the research and need to get around to doing is:
- I have to wonder about the impact of long washing loads on clothes longevity and wearing out of the fabric, especially with fuller loads.. that's a lot of rubbing.
- The washing powder I currently like the most definitely gets caught and leaves residue.. in particular it builds up -inside- the detergent drawer and becomes so glued on even a pressure washer and screwdriver takes a lot of effort to get it off (clearly needs CLR or some such). I am sure some detergents are much better at not building up SCUD compared to others but this seems to be a not well discussed/reviewed fact.

What makes the install cost high? Where I live in Australia, 44% of houses have rooftop solar and installations seem to be done in a fraction of a day. Seems like a pretty efficient process where they bolt racks to the roofing iron and then attach panels to the racks, wire it up, etc.

In this case a design system standardises forms and form components and that's very valuable. This means that every government website taps gets to learn the same little design lessons at once, from browser compatibility to keyboard navigation and accessibility.

gov.uk nailed this, and it makes their website very pleasant to use. They share a lot of their UX research so it benefits a lot of other people including myself.

I'm also a big fan of writing guides that teach people to write simply and clearly. It's sorely missing where I live.
