Mine is very much worth it. I have an old Humanscale mechanical sit/stand desk that lets me very quickly adjust the height between sitting and standing whenever I'm inclined to do so. I don't know if you can still get this kind; it probably could be dangerous if kids played with it since nothing stops it from moving fast. There's more mental friction involved in the slow-moving electric-motor adjustable desks, but if you have preset buttons you can think about something else while you're waiting for it to get to the right height.

Some people who stand at desks say it's a lot more comfortable with a soft pad to stand on. I haven't used those myself.
They're nice to be able to change up your position during the course of the day, but regardless of what you do, it's bad for your body to be in the same position for several in a row. You can throw some money at the problem, but having discipline to get up and have a quick break every 30 minutes will take you much further than a standing desk will IME.

One I use for random gaming needs, but requires two brains, if I want to emulate a dN die (d6, d10, d20, whatever) is I think of a number between 1 and N, and the other person does the same. Then add them together and mod by N. Works well enough, although you can get into game theory and the results aren't very random because we tend to pick certain numbers.

Thinking about it, I wonder if both people picking multiple numbers and adding them all up mod N would improve things.
Yep. For example, a few years ago a "cryptography researcher" posted in arXiv a new method to factorize numbers. The fist 10 page were an explanation of the rule that if the sum of the digits of N is a multiple of 3, then N is a multiple of 3. Then he explained something more interesting but the details were uninteligible. I skeemed the second part and I thought it was wrong, but after reading the firt part I didn't bother to verify all the details.
> Still have 250miles range out of 310 originally.

I appreciate that batteries degrade over time, but think this will deter many would-be EV owners. Losing 1/6 of your total range in the first 5 years of owner just doesn't happen with ICE vehicles. How long until you're down to 1/2 the original total range and can no longer handle the journeys you bought the car for? I'll probably be in the market for a new car in the next 2-3 years, and I'd very much prefer to go green next time, but this puts me off somewhat.

I wonder what the used market is going to be like too. Will many people want to buy cars that simply don't go as far as they used to (and will lose more miles as time goes on)? Do they just have to accept that a battery replacement will be necessary?

i guess that's because it's a chore and arguably dangerous to share the road with cyclists no matter what they're doing, and not only when they're ignoring the rules of the road

> “EVs are more competitive in cities with high gasoline prices, low electricity prices, moderate climates, and direct purchase incentives, and for users with home charging access, time-of-use electricity pricing, and high annual mileage,” the researchers summarized.

I think the conclusions are all pretty well understood by anyone interested in this area.

Fundamentally almost every EV available uses less energy per mile than a comparable ICE vehicle. Even in the cold. That's because of the relative efficiencies of ICE vs electric drivetrains. Even accounting for generation efficiency, EVs are more efficient at turning hydrocarbons into motion - because fixed power stations are so much more efficient than small portable internal combustion engines - 20% vs up to 60%.

All the other factors are incredibly personal.

Ultimately I'd expect the long term cost of ownership of an EV to be a bit less than a comparable gasoline vehicle. The total amount of energy consumed will be less, but the cost will be incredibly variable depending on time of charging. Electric drivetrains are clearly more robust and much less mechanically complex than comparable ICE drivetrains - but actually modern engines are pretty reliable anyway, and all the other wear items like suspension and brakes are still there (admittedly with much less brake use). EVs currently benefit from not paying fuel taxes - that will probably be changed over time.
I tried to do some more research on this. Unfortunately the search combination

> rewrite commit github verified

is so insanely SEO-poisoned by (1) StackOverflow questions about how to rewrite commits and (2) GitHub’s docs about regular (built-in Git commit verification) commit verification.

But I thought about it some more. And I guess them hijacking the committer on pull request merges is not that insanely bothersome. It’s their platform after all.

Just yet another reason to not interact with forges in a way that affects Git itself.

But another thing I’ve noticed is that sometimes my committer becomes the stupid initial (legacy) email I used to sign up there. Why in the hell? My current email is already registered there. But I tested this now and at least I got the option to merge as one of my addresses. So I guess it was fixed?

> It's common practice to have the committer not match the author

When the committer and author are different people. And apparently when GitHub tries to insert itself as a pseudo-person.

I expected that my own actions would be tied to my own identity on GitHub. Not for them to shoehorn GitHub Verified™ into commit objects that I create through clickity-clacking around their UI. But it is after all their UI and they can poison commits however they like since they create it (i.e. I didn’t create it and send it to them; then I would have noticed if they tried to rewrite it). So shame on me.

> especially in environments where only patches/diffs are sent

Clearly doesn’t apply here.

> I can't imagine the git project having any issue with that, given that the author field stays retained (ignoring this bug ofc.).

Given that they don’t use GitHub for anything directly related to Git (PRs and such) and that they have their own way of indicating code provenance: No, I guess they have no reason to care. (Other than in spirit.)

But it matters in general (in spirit) that if I pick up some patch by Jack Cooper and apply it then the committer is me. Not outlook.com. Or whatever program did it for me.

The commit object has a few metadata fields. I’ve never seen anyone say, “Oh yeah sure, just use that field for whatever it’s not like it matters anyway”.
we're watching stock prices soaring after employee cuts.

So, you know, expect cuts to resolve that one.
That's a fair point. However, part of the politics of the situation is that the right end of the spectrum appears bound and determined to discredit any academic or fact-based professions. They also seemed dead set on protecting oligarch and oligarch-lite players from criticism or critical examination.

Academic fraud seems to be self-correcting as we have seen by the numerous reports of fraud and withdrawn papers; as a rule, the players express shame and remorse. Nonacademic fraud doesn't exhibit these characteristics and sometimes seems to be proud of the fraud.
The initial argument was just as bad: “AI can’t be evolving like us”, when we have no clue how we evolved.

All I’m doing is calling out the intellectual dishonesty is making any claims about something we know nothing of.

Not sure if there what the term for this is, but rather than looking at the probability of X happening we should rather look at the "inevitability" of X happening in the context of the environment.

In my experience, even though nature looks chaotic there is a very strict order to things which has evolved over millions of years and is a result of looking for the "most optimal way" to achieve a goal. A good example might be mycelium optimizing routes to nearby resources. Another might be ant colonies creating tunnels that are effective to navigate.

The problem is, in my opinion, that we do not know what the final goal is. Therefore we cannot begin to analyze the inevitability of something as us, or life in general, happening. The answer may be perhaps found in religion or some similar "greater than life" endeavor.

Pass the Bricks
They're rather expensive though, so you might be able to get more of what you like using the money differently.... instead of a single $750m 100-story tower in one block, build ten 10-story towers over 10* blocks, and you'd probably have $500m left over.

* Realistically, you could pack the equivalent square footage into less space than this, because you can build shorter buildings wider.

I've had a negative experience with Deskhaus's customer service. Their product is good, but if anything goes wrong during its life you may have trouble getting a response.

In my case I wanted to ask about replacement parts because it seemed like a power surge might've knocked out the box controlling the desk - didn't get a single response despite reaching out via email and their contact form, not even a "We don't sell replacement parts and you're on your own" reply.
That makes sense. I think you should tune your product management strategy for your audience.

Still think there's value in having an open roadmap and feature list that customers and users can submit too, regardless of industry. I wouldn't recommend you use GitHub, though :).

Meta-Learning Is All You Need (2020)
The pegs do seem to lend themselves to steadying the object on a flat surface, placing one side up and one side down. This would make it easier for standing something up on the top side like a candle or letting something on the bottom side through (not sure what).

If this were a candle holder, then it doesn't make a lot of sense. Wouldn't a candle just slip through to the bottom side, losing much of it's length inside the dodecahedron? It also doesn't do anything to help if the wick gets too long and the wax runs down the side. The variations on diameter of the holes makes me wonder if it wasn't a stand for a pole of some kind to stand upright. The different diameters of the internal holes would correspond to different sizes of poles to hold up. Maybe it's a flag holder or something similar?
This doesn't really match my observation, at least at a megacorp. Line managers seem to support remote work at roughly the same rate as ICs. The mandates are coming from execs, who are absolutely nowhere near the "I need smalltalk to understand productivity" situation.

I instead see this as part of an industry-wide pushback against rising compensation and power among engineers.
>Any metal we find after 2000 years is a miracle.

That's not really true. There's regular finds of hoards of thousands of ancient coins that are in excellent condition, esp. Roman coins. You'll find there's an actually quite a large number of ancient metal artifacts archaeologists have discovered if you look into it. Certainly the preservation rate is very low since people tend to guard metal objects and recycle them, but things happen, today archaeologists estimate there's something in the order of 10-30 millions of Roman coins that have been recovered in museum collections and held by private owners.

This depends on the metal, of course, iron preserves poorly as does bronze, so those are rare, but gold preserves extremely well, and silver better than bronze, esp. in drier conditions.
For me the adjustability has been worth even though I don’t stand all that often, because it allows me to dial in the height of the desk in addition to chair height to make the setup perfectly suited to me. Addition of high quality desk clamp VESA monitor arms (used HumanScale arms from office liquidators on eBay) takes this adjustability even further, making my desk very comfortable to work at for long periods.

And yes, the frames on the nicer standing desks are very robust. The frame on my Fully desk is several mm thick enameled steel that will be good for the foreseeable future… even when/if the top gives out, I can just get some butcher block countertop or something similar cut at Home Depot and bolt it on and it’ll be as good as new.

I get you're trying to make a point, but it feels like you're doing it in the most tribal and emotional way I can think of.

It sounds to me like the essence of what you're trying to communicate is that even though historically sweeping statements about groups capabilities/preferences have been used as excuses to blacklist people from fields, learning statistical averages of preferences could serve as a tool of better accommodating individuals if done in good faith.

I'd encourage you study that paragraph and learn to talk like that if your goal is to change any minds. Otherwise I can only presume that's not your ultimate goal.
When I was working on the road/relative's houses, the height adjustable desk was the only thing that I missed from the office. You have to get one that has a motor though - I've never found the manual ones worth the effort (they usually seem to be low quality and very wobbly). But being able to switch between standing and sitting has been valuable for keeping me comfortable.
The article isn't claiming that the operating costs are more for XXL and very long range EVs than equivalent gas cars but that for smaller and shorter range vehicles the difference in operating costs is large enough to make up for the increased purchase cost.

That's not an entirely fair metric because the CO2 emissions for the EV are more and these are an external cost that people aren't paying in most countries.

if we had a $100/tonne CO2 carbon tax (which might make some carbon capture viable) that amounts to about $1 on a gallon of gas, which I'd imagine is about $500 a year for a compact car, could be quite a bit more than that for an XXL vehicle. For certain drivers with certain cars the difference could be close to the $7500 tax credit in 7 year or so.

Since Karl Popper we take science to be the development of falsifiable theories and experimentation to show them to be false (therefore ruled out) or not-false, therefore still theories. We don't say that General Relativity is proven -- we say that it is in agreement with all experiments carried out so far.

One does not 'confirm' the Big Bang theory. One finds evidence that does not disprove it. Or one finds evidence that does disprove it, then someone (possibly the same person or persons) elaborates a variant of that theory, or a whole sale replacement of it.

Note the prominence of the need for falsifiability in the following:

Another issue which git won't solve is if you collaborate on text which has "structure". For example when merging indented (todo) lists as flat text, bullets might end up in the wrong place, e.g.

[ ] Project
[ ] Don't do this
[ ] Task A

While offline, user #1 adds '[ ] Task B' and '[ ] rm -rf /' under "Don't Do This", while user #2 adds '[ ] Do This' under 'Project'. Obviously you don't want to merge this as:

[ ] Project
[ ] Don't do this
[ ] A
[ ] Do This
[ ] B
[ ] rm -rf /

We're working on an app [1] which needs to deal with this, but in general it also makes git less suitable for things like outliners or other collaborative text editors where people can work on lists, tables, and so on (structured data basically).

It's not about standing for me. It's about having room to keep my chair high enough that my knees don't hurt (I'm also 46) and also having room for keeping it under the desk for optimal posture.

Then, when I felt like switching posture, I could easily make it taller or shorter.

> XML structure does not map neatly into the data types you actually want to use.

> After that point, the serialization method does not matter anymore, and XML would have just be slower.

Considering I have mapped 3D objects to (a lot of) C++ objects containing thousands of facets under 12ms incl. parsing, sanity checking, object creation, initialization and cross linking of said objects on last decade's hardware, I disagree with that sentiment.

Regarding your first point, even without a schema, an XML shows its structure and what it expects. So JSON feels its hacked together when compared to XML in terms of structure and expressiveness.

It's fine for serializing dark data where people won't see, but if eyes need to inspect it XML is way way more expressive by nature.

Heck, you even need to hack JSON for comments. C'mon :)
