It might help to think of the tub of water as a heat battery/capacitor: the energy you put in is the energy you get out. So, yes, it will slowly absorb energy when you are heating the room. However, it will also release an equal amount of energy as the room cools down. On that front I'd say it equals out.

Technically the tub of water will change how fast the room changes temperature. Because the difference between the room temperature and outside temperature affects the rate that energy escapes the room, this could affect how much energy the room emits to the outside. For example, imagine that you had so much water that the room only went down to 65 degrees F throughout the day; that means that you put enough energy into the bath battery to heat the room to 65 degrees F throughout the day.

The other way that you would be consuming extra energy is by evaporating the water. At <70 degrees F and little air circulation, I don't imagine that evaporation is consuming a lot of energy. A bath tub of room temperature water doesn't seem like it would be very effective as a swamp cooler.

My guess is that a bathtub of room temperature water wouldn't measurable affect your heating bill.
Yeah, my point was pretty specific to container environments, that using sqlite forces you to add a bunch of sqlite handling logic to your application. Whereas with MySQL (and other similar RDBMS’), you can have your application just worry about its own logic, and handle MySQL backups completely separately from it.

Nellis begins Red Flag 24-1
> Intel tried and ran into most of those same problems. Their Atom-based SoCs were pretty competitive with ARM chips of the day, it was the reliance on an external modem, friction with x86 on Android and a brutally competitive landscape that resulted in their failure.

The way I remember it the performance and battery life never quite lived up to what they said it would.

> Regardless of architectural advantages from one vendor or another, the point remains that the arguable preeminent expert in CPU architecture believes that ISA makes little difference and given their employment history it's hard to make the argument of bias.

Current employer is a much heavier influence than prior employers, and someone who's moved around and designed for multiple ISAs and presumably likes doing so has a vested interest in claiming that any ISA can be used for any use case.

There's a long history of people claiming architecture X can be used effectively for purpose Y and then failing to actually deliver that. So I'm sticking to "I'll believe it when I'll see it".
Tickets are often written imperfectly but that doesn't necessitate a standing meeting for the whole team imo. Make your pm and em hash them out, make the most informed engineer write the ticket, but don't make everybody watch.

If the top of your backlog is uselessly stale, you're spending too much time writing tickets in the distant past and not enough recently (or maybe congrats on your velocity?). A ticket that's so old it needs to be overhauled to be worked on was written prematurely. This is one of the things kanban is good at.

Edit to add: a team that's heavily reliant on a PM might not be a great fit for kanban? It's not for all teams, and is a natural fit for some

Hi. I'm a software engineer, and I'm here to burn your house down. ;-)

You'll need traditional engineers (mechanical design and electrical), and people who actually know manufacturing operations from sourcing to shipping.

Perhaps a way into this kind of business is to do it in reverse: Lend your software skills to a manufacturing business and soak up as much as you can about how it works.

> If memory serves, pockets disappeared from women's clothing as skirts became more form-fitting in the 1910s and 1920s.

Definitely not true considering this quote from 1899:

> No pocketless people has ever been great since pockets were invented, and the female sex cannot rival us while it is pocketless.

(as quoted from https://www.vox.com/2016/9/19/12865560/politics-of-pockets-s... )

According to the article, female clothing has just never had pockets:

> Once upon a time, everyone carried bags. In the Medieval era, both men and women tied their bags to the waist or wore them suspended from belts; these bags looked very much like Renfaire fanny packs. As the rural world grew more urban and criminals more sophisticated, people cunningly hid their external pockets under layers of clothing to hinder cutpurses; men’s jackets and women’s petticoats were outfitted with little slits that allowed to you access your tied-on pockets through your clothing.

> Only in the late seventeenth century did pockets make their move to become part of men’s clothing, permanently sewn into coats, waistcoats, and trousers; women’s pockets, however, failed to make the same migration. Lacking built-in pockets, women continued to hide their tied-on pockets, which were large, often pendulous bags.

> The French Revolution changed everything. While the mid-eighteenth century lavished in rococo, wide skirts that screamed decadence and wealth in their yards and yards of fabric, the end of the eighteenth century whispered restraint. Skirts pulled in close to the body, the natural waist crept ever upward, and the silhouette thinned to a slender column. This neoclassical look had no room for pouchy pockets, yet women still needed to carry their stuff. The reticule, a small, highly decorated purse, was born — and like a pernicious poltergeist, it has never really gone away.

To hear the article tell it, demanding pockets in their clothing was an early form of women's liberation around the period you describe, but one that failed.

Whole Foods carries a store brand short grain brown rice at a reasonable price that I really like. It’s one of my go-to rices and essentially the only thing I go to Whole Foods for, as I haven’t found a comparable product or price point elsewhere. I think it’s about $2.50/lb these days.

The wires aren’t the main blocker to my mind - the sheer length of them on existing roads is. There is a reason we don’t do super long trucks already. They would for example block 2/3rds of an onramp merge zone as they passed.

IF we did gigantic trucks they’d be so severely limited in what roads they could use before being ‘broken down’ in to smaller units for the final delivery that we might as well just make trains.
Seriously, it hurts. It makes sense, but it hurts. If only there were a more gentle path to editor modes. Maybe some simple graphical representation of the modes and commands that could be down in the corner? Like a dynamic vim infographic that clued a user into the most likely commands.
The name is Enoq. It is still largely in stealth but it's been worked on content-wise for several years now so thre's been substantial progress in the LVM (Letter Value Meanings) document I have meticulously crafted. Think of reverse-engineering and that's basically what I've been studying as part of an autodidactic journey. Even the LbL-D (Letter-by-Letter Descriptions) document is over 100 pages of words, but the old ones were practice compared to what I have now.

Cat = C as random, A as routes, T as to a target.
Cow = C as random, O as spots, in a C as field/pasture, W as where the cow eats/grazes the grass.

I'll share a semi-complicated Letter Value:

• W

experience, propagation [probabilities] (potential), something happening through or because of experience and strength for it, circumstantial, by way of, practical work you've been trained and educated for or learned through experience, wheel turning, travel, footprint, movement

or simpler:

• A

to a degree, angle of openness, (more and more by degrees), finding or navigating a route, arrow, adjustment, changes, selective inclusion, making up, options/choices, fitness (of data or candidates), traveling in a direction, flipping through (selecting different perspectives, like a gear or revolver), queryable database, regularly

It's an emerging "state of the art" where art is the emergence of language through however long it's taken humanity to build, and a science because it's a repeatable theory. In fact, a platonic form is basically a repeatable theory. (non-natural OR emergent Pattern)

Enoq, my startup, has potential for AI to find patterns, new and old, in a language, English, that works really well for relaying ideas between people.

It's just me right now.

There's a quality spectrum of AI-generated header images. Some are just random DALL-E output which aren't intrinsically relevant to the article (like the one used in this article), but you can have a little fun with it and do something distinct. This may require more control than just using Bing Image Creator.

Also, a thumbnail tip: square thumbnails are bad. If you have to use a square 1024x1024 AI generation, crop it to something like 1024x575, which incidentally can make things difficult if using AI generation since figuring out what to crop requires human intervention.

The modern approach that a CS background is unnecessary, that you don't need to know algorithms, and that a complex software system can be documented by a bunch of out-of-date files scattered over a website, all contribute to cargo-cult programming. It's natural that someone would propose throwing money at a server that stopped working, if they have no clue how any of it works, and/or have no problem-solving skills.

It's easy to find fault with university CS curricula, but picking up random stuff from Youtube and Reddit seems a worse path to being a software professional than a university program.
The whole web stands on each and every website being uniquely designed, however hard it is to learn how to navigate. If you want efficiency, work with databases, not people.
But it still gets warmer than it did 30 years ago, and the little snow you get in those years doesn't go as far as it used too.
Quite shockingly, GitHub's "linear history" option is anything but.

Even when using the "Rebase and Merge" option (which is supposedly linear history), you will find that in a typical dev -> staging -> prod workflow, when you merge into higher environments, GitHub creates different commits, resulting in staging or prod being some number of commits ahead of the branch it is supposed to be downstream of. This breaks a lot of development workflows.

From a discussion on the GitHub community board:

> I had absolutely no idea that this was the case for years and I'm actually quite surprised that Github is doing something non-'standard' here. I didn't actually believe it when I first read about it and had to try it myself. Sure enough, Github is performing full replays of history instead of doing fast-forwards, resulting in different commits. My own personal workflow isn't particular impacted by this but thinking back to professional settings this is starting to paint a picture as to why rebases were so inexplicably problematic when people used the Github UI to do them as opposed to on the command line.

> They're not forcing anybody to watch their videos. (...) You haven't provided an alternative.

They operated their business at a loss until they were the only alternative.

Remember Joost? Remember Vimeo? Again, why do you think that no other competitor managed to compete with YouTube? What is more likely to happen: Google has created a product so inherently good that no one can even come close to it, or Google has cheated its way into a winning position?

> They're explicit about ad-blockers not being welcome.

"Not being welcome" is not something they can enforce in a contract and there is already legal action against them in the EU, because they can not discriminate against users of ad-block without collecting user data.

> But I hope that the entire platform becomes premium only and ad-free. That would be a fair solution for everybody.

I wish that as well, but it would require them to willingly stop with their (unethical) practices that put them at an advantage. Do you realistically think this is going to happen?
Where is the cloud seeding happening and why would the water vapor not still remain in the air, cloud seeding or not? What does that have to do with anything?
That's fair. I don't have experience with other immediate mode libraries. It's good to hear that it's not an intrinsic limitation

https://github.com/emilk/egui?tab=readme-ov-file#layout Here the author discusses the issue directly. They note that there are solutions to the issue, but that they all come with (in their opinion) significant drawbacks.

For my use case, if I have to do a lot of manual work to achieve what I consider behavior that should be handled by the framework, then I don't find that compelling and am inclined to use a retained mode implementation.

can you get to neuroscience, language or culture without physics?

I don't see the chain, but I might be overlooking something super obvious (or not so obvious)

Arithmetic isn't super helpful for calculus, but it's real tough (for me) to construct calculus without a notion of +.

So, I don't have any evidence of math, the very narrow branch of math in the sense of algebra, and proofs without electric meat. I'm open to a very broad definition. I think, we agree that two different things are equal, and if we change both sides the same way, they're still equal. that kind of gives us algebra.

Does anything else do that? Does anything else preserve equality that's not just simple physics?

Again, I'm wildly unqualified to make this argument, but maybe I learn something amazing.

How do you "close the knot"? I've got some computer science background and I can mostly deal with fix points. In what way would neuroscience be free from the underlying systems? I'm pretty sure I can represent computation with gears or electrons or marbles, or whatever, but those are rooted in physics. I'm super curious how you might represent neuroscience, language and culture without that foundation.
Part of this depends on what your plan is with the company. If you intend to seek VC funding, vesting is going to be renegotiated. Will your co-founder even agree to that?

I am concerned because vesting immediately is way outside of the norm. What stops him from walking off the next day?

A one-year vesting schedule is not advisable either. Are you really going to have a liquidity event in a year? If that's the concern, have acceleration terms to deal with that. I agree with rogerkirkness that 4 year vesting is the right way to go. I don't think 5 is necessary, though you can do that.

You can avoid the "boss-employee" vibe by having the same vesting schedule for yourself.

Trust me - I see a lot of bad co-founder situations. You don't want to have a co-founder with tons of equity who isn't working out.
It says in the article that it sits on an existing pumping station, so that's probably the ideal place to avoid this problem, since those pumps would often be designed to grind/mascerate the incoming sewage anyway.
>"Central to the π-calculus is the notion of name. The simplicity of the calculus lies in the dual role that names play as communication channels and variables."

That is very interesting!

A future related (concurrent!) programming language might allow every variable -- to also be a communication channel, and conversely, every communication channel to also be a variable!

If I say I want to fly on Tuesday, 2/2/2029, with a departure between 8-11am, economy, and ask you to show me options sorted by cost (descending), you should show me exactly those results.

You could offer me a flexible search option, as some sites do (+/- x days on flight times, etc.). Great! Now I can request that we search within a date range. Nice! That might be a good feature for some people!

Offering a simple query interface that returns what it says it will doesn't mean we can't offer flexible search parameters.

Flights are a terrible example of where I'd want to offer fuzzed results... having booked flights on the wrong day before, the last thing I want is to ask for X, but get offered Y.

Paraphrase> "engineering/stem teaches you how to think"

Surely there are papers studying that? I'm certainly interested if you know of any.

My personal experience was the opposite - engineering degree teaching maths and how to be compliant[1] to an academic system of grading, but virtually nothing on practical engineering, causality or interpersonal skills. I have noticed the same problems in many of my academic peers. I went to a university in my country that was supposed to be an excellent engineering school.

After graduation I have met great piratical engineers with zero academic skills. Two close examples: a dyslexic friend, another who left school at 14.

If you use Macports (much more consistent than homebrew and much more attentive to the way MacOS works and MacOS SIP etc works) then installing the GNU utils ports gives you a standard GNU environment, so pretty close to Ubuntu/Fedora etc.

I am a Software Engineer like you. I got started in making physical products in 2017 first with 3d printing, and today I do design for manufacturing.

This might surprise some here, but if you can do 100% of the design and get good at it, it's possible to bootstrap a hardware company, even as a solo founder. I know it because I've done it.

However I intentionally started with physical products with no electronics in them. I also tried manufacturing in the USA initially but quickly realized it to be uneconomical and too slow, especially for bootstrapped consumer products.

My advice: 1. make a breadboard prototype @ home & design the product on your computer 2. have prototype parts made in China until you are satisfied with the final assembly 3. once you have pre-order volume, have the molds & dies made in China, import the tooling in the USA and setup your own shop.

The other thing is getting good at Industrial design takes a few years, it's not necessarily intuitive -- you have to understand the processes that you are designing for and get good at making drawings and hiring shops. It won't happen in a year unless you just focus on one part/process, so I would team up with someone who has that experience.
