The grass bandaids on commercial lots is not captured by that 10% residential use figure. So all those dumb strips of grass on medians and in front of strip malls get counted in that 80% figure. A lot of that water is wasted by running off into drains.

Grass lawns are a waste of water, gas (mowing/maintenance), time, and effort. Reducing grass lawns in residential and commercial spaces would make for a meaningful reduction in the state's water usage with little reduction in economic output.
This article claims Tesla is going to a 48V electrical system with the Cybertruck.

https://thedriven.io/2023/03/20/why-teslas-move-to-48-volt-e...

It also says Tesla is doing a lot of 48V stuff in house. Likely because they are finding it difficult to source those parts externally?
I don't think you're getting the point (you might be in a small, or in a great team).

Tests are great for the codebase, for stability, for onboarding. But for devs who have management/exec pressure, and especially if the team is 'agile', they will slow your sprint, discover edge cases or bugs you never put in your cards and ultimately 'slow down' initial development, and if your company is especially bad, you'll get performance reviews. If you let the edge case/bug happen in prod, it'll take more time to correct it than if you caught it prior to that, you might have to modify an loop or a data structure and introduce more bugs, but at least the software was delivered in time, and you'll get paid for that time spent correcting those bug if you're a contractor.
This leads me to wonder where exactly you've been working to form the opinions behind this joke :)
No. It was protest by a seasoned pro-life protester outside an abortion clinc designated as a protected public place. She might be protesting the law, she might be protesting abortions, but she was protesting in an area where it's been forbidden.

She's been to court, been acquitted, had other charges dropped and since then been told to jog on again since, so make of the laws what you will… But the original reply here was suggesting people were being arrested for praying, which barely represents a fraction of reality.

You can pass around arbitrary JS objects via the (ref extern) type. The (import "module" "name" ...) form can be used to declare an imported thing (function, global, memory, table.)

This is an interesting page for several reasons:

First, I think it would be a great idea for any future Single Board Computer or Router designer -- to design their product such that it will work with any power supply from 5V to 12V (assuming that the power supply can provide enough amperes at that voltage).

Even better might be to design a SBC or Router such that it works with say, a minimum 500 milliamps at 5V -- which should make it compatible with just about any consumer power supply out there...

Yes, I know this is wishful thinking for several reasons. But let's look at the WRT54G & WRT54GS -- apparently these will work a power supply providing any voltage from 5V to 15V -- so long as it provides enough amperage at that voltage...

To be able to accomplish this is a great design practice for Routers, SBC's, and other small computing devices.

Also interesting: Look at the table of input voltages, supply current and watts.

Note that Watts, in general, goes down (not by a lot, and not at every voltage, but generally, linearly) as Voltage goes up...

That's an interesting effect...

If the article is correct, then this seems to be the work of the "integrated 150kHz step-down switching regulator".

I think it would be highly interesting (at least, if you are a SBC and/or Router manufacturer) to test all available step-down switching regulators -- and craft similar tables of input volts, amps and watts -- over the regulators' range of voltages. (Octopart anyone? https://octopart.com/)

Which regulator produces the best response over the range of voltages it handles, and then, go an extra step -- research and discover WHY that is, what are the reasons in Physics --
for the phenomenon?

I think that that would be a highly interesting endeavor!

(And of course, I'm also open to any suggestions for webpages for people who have already done this, or something like this!)
Funny, I just used this to help recover a harddrive of a family member that crashed. The directory structure was gone, but the files were still (mostly) readable so using a combination of ddrescue (to pull the remainder of the drive into a partition of another drive), photorec (to recover all of the files that were still readable) and fdupes (to remove all of the duplicates as a result of multiple back-ups on that some drive) I managed to get pretty much all of the data off the drive. 5500 files worth or so, not a huge number but some of them were precious and the only reason this drive was accessed was because it was the backup when another drive had failed entirely. Photorec was a bit weird in that it insisted having the data on the partition of an actual drive, it couldn't work straight off an image. No idea why that limitation is there, it would seem pretty straightforward to allow it to work on an image file instead.

Lots of lessons to be learned here, 1 backup really isn't good enough (of course you already knew that) and organizing 5500 files after you've lost the names is still quite a bit of work. But better to have files without names than no files at all. They'll be busy for a while re-labeling all of them, but that is fortunately not my work to do.

When we have business logic changes or a bug fix, I require our developers to write test cases for the new behavior and commit that. I want to see those test fail in the CI systems. THEN they can implement the changes until the tests pass.

When reviewing, the first thing I do is look at the tests. That is how I make sure developers understood the new requirements. Only after verifying that, so I then do a code review to critique implementation.

I agree. There are similar laws for many other industries already that either prohibit or put operational restrictions such that their "on the platform" subsidiaries are on equal footing with competition.

Enron was breaking this principle when their energy traders would call up a power plant they also owned and ask for an unscheduled outage. I don't remember if this was specifically illegal in this case, but I used to have to take an online class once a year to remind me not to share any non-public data with marketing in one such regulated industry and that there would be serious consequences if this rule was broken.

I don't accept this premise and I don't think serves as a reasonable excuse for government interference in labor markets. Even if you do accept this, then the solution sacrifices long-term labor stability for short-term labor monopolization.

Either way, I don't see this as a positive outcome, and I regret every administrations attempt to expand the program using any excuse that happens across their desks.

Well, because rice is inexpensive, you.... could do a test batch? Sure, it would add $0.25 or something to the cost of your $100.00 rice maker.

Or you could just put the rice in extra early. It will get done early. But it will still be hot and perfect when you're ready to eat?

It feels like you have a big misunderstanding of rice cookers.

> "Unity's technology stack is more like a Tower of Jenga"
Unity has a RELATIVELY firm foundation, and lots of optional out buildings that are short jenga towers. It does take some bonecasting to identify which is which. I would characterize the use of DOTs in a product you mean to ship as _gutsy_. For my projects I'd be liable to first write a compute shader for anything they used DOTs for.

Despite all that, from my reading it doesn't look like CS:2 really got bit too badly for using it. Their perf issues are more broadly explained by poor LOD coverage, treating their addons like black boxes, and no occlusion culling. These are issues that no stack is immune to.
It's a happy coincidence that thanks to AI, soon people will trust authenticity of video as much as that of written text.

This is a useful point of view I'll be adding to the toolbox. Looking at testing and type as TTP entities is already fun. This line:

> Making personal property functionality dependent on trusted third parties (i.e. trusted rather than forced by the protocol to keep to the agreement governing the security protocol and property) is in most cases quite unacceptable.

sums up a line of thinking I'd like to explore a bit.

> These institutions have a particular way of doing business that is highly evolved and specialized. They usually cannot "hill climb" to a substantially different way of doing business. Substantial innovations in new areas, e.g. e-commerce and digital security, must come from elsewhere.

Work I've done in finance-related shops fits neatly into the TTP model, and that model explains most of what I used to see as tech debt. As a TTP being able to guarantee a result was a core part of our business, so processes would be set in stone once people used them to do serious work. If the initial design was written and implemented by people with a grasp on each domain it touched, you'd need to have that all under your belt before thinking about real changes.

The immutability + cost factor makes existing work look foundational and innovations in processing metabolite are easy to spec out and calculate return value on.

It seems you're nearing the message. How does one accept that fully? What do we do in the face of struggles with what may be the greatest struggle a human being ever faces? Could there be some technique that could help? What would that technique look like? Could it include the ingestion of a substance? If ingesting said substance along with guided meditation was vastly superior to all other techniques of death acceptance, would that be avoiding the problem with drugs?

I think what you're not understanding is that taking the drug is the death acceptance technique. It is the thing that allows these people to quickly transition into peace. Do you have a better way? Could you please share that so all of our dying family members could finally have the simple solution you seem to be aware of?
Any way to get passed the paywall?
Interesting, I thought about this in the past but assumed it would be too slow. Do you know of any titles that have shipped with that technique?
OOh -- this sounds actually potentially awesome for business use-cases. Tailscale is the commercial tool to help setup and manage wireguard networks, and it had a big security incident earlier this year (though they were prompt to rectify).

I don't use tailscale but I almost did. One of the things that caught me was not wanting to give a third party any control. (Also, at the time I didn't absolutely have a burning need given the number of servers and people involved). Tailscale's model is to charge businesses; I'm not sure if you are making this FOSS but something FOSS to me would be preferable.

How does the privacy work on your site? I haven't the time to log in and play around right now. My main concerns would be if I'm posting my configs to a third party, that third party now has a vector to 'root' my networks. And if this is a site meant for sharing, there's the other concern that I or the site accidentally temporarily makes permissions public giving strangers that access. I'm sure you've already contemplated this in the design; I'd love to hear your approach on this forum.

Terraria started off as a 2D homage to Minecraft...The very first release basically was just a 2D version of Minecraft. It took a few updates for Terraria to become its own thing.

I enjoy both games, especially Terraria, which I have played since its original release. But let's not lie to ourselves that the volume of content updates for Terraria is anywhere close to the updates that Minecraft has received. Adding content for a 2D game is a lot easier than adding content for a 3D game, even if you're using voxels.

I remember in school finding someone’s website where he’d carefully analysed every sonnet to show how Shakespeare was having an affair with the queen. I’m sure you’d never guess what all those love sonnets were really about…

You get a bunch of these crackpot theories in mathematics — well known universities would regularly get letters about squaring the circle, proving formats last theorem, etc. I wonder if the rate has decreased now that it is easier to access good information online, e.g. maybe a lot of people attempting to square the circle misunderstood what it meant when it was said that it couldn’t be done. And you get them in physics too (theories based on the weird analogies you get in popular magazines, or reading the wrong things into the ‘artists conceptions’ that accompany the articles). It’s surely not surprising that history gets its own crackpots, especially as so much more is debatable there.

Why do you see giving more visas as a government interference in labor markets?

In my view it's the opposite, a perfectly free labor market would be one where anyone can apply to a job. Restricting immigration by denying visas is a government interference in the market. So more visas means less interference.

(Note: I'm not claiming anything about whether it's a good idea or not).

We have companies hawking large language models. It's entirely arguable that we are in an "age of AI." You're about to be in an age of "no more easy CMOS gains." The intersection between these two points is going to be interesting.

> There are legitimate concerns with AI that shouldn't be blindly waved away as "boogey man"

This is why we have courts and a legislature with committee powers. I do not believe that an eager top down federal agency approach is going to solve real problems without creating more encumbrances than it's worth.

This is also why it's pandering. Look at the list of issues they bring up, those most definitely rank with voters.

Well then it's potentially even a bigger problem. They're going to change prioritization for those applicants against a limited pool.
Some of the input data was known yes, because this software has a gui and it outputs a binary file based on user data (PCB Bill of materials)+internal machine settings.
