YES. Look for deals. I got a really sturdy one from Costco 4 years ago for about $250 and it's the best desk I've ever owned.

I don't use a char at all anymore - I stand about 80% of the day, and use a stool to rest for the other 20%.

Make sure to get one with programmable heights, and spend some time setting up your ideals for ergonomics.

--EDIT-- This is the model I bought (but mine is black). Looks like it's gone up about $100 since my purchase, but well worth it. https://www.costco.com/tresanti-geller-47%e2%80%9d-adjustabl...

So fish comes with nice defaults. It could happen that you have a complicated zsh setup, then migrate to fish and you find the defaults are fine.

The fish scripting language is nicer (more logical) than the zsh one. That's because zsh needs to be Bourne-ish for historical reasons, and fish has decided to deviate from it. Existing sh, bash, zsh scripts will continue to work just fine. You can write new scripts in fish, or keep writing scripts in zsh or whatever.
My variation is that i heat the chamber until the water boils, alone. Then turn off the heat, plop in the portafilter, screw on the top, and turn the heat on low and watch it until the coffee coming out turns from brown to clear-ish and starts "strombolating". Then put the bottom chamber under cold water to stop the process.

Yes, in my personal experience as the owner of two Teslas.

Over 3+ years, they have required zero maintenance.

I suspect it's because they lack all those moving parts and messy fluids in an internal combustion engine that do require regular service.

I really like having one. I just wish it didn't wobble and squeak as much as it does.

Next time though, I will select by researching stability / non-wobbly reviews, such as these:

About 3 years ago, I bought a relatively cheap one from Amazon-- for the price, it's quite decent.

Note on Depth: I like that it's 30" deep-- My preference would be 36", just so I can sprawl out more. So, I would keep depth in mind. I think 24", which is a common depth, is too narrow.

- $210 for base: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08FT9JVW7/

- $250 for tabletop: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083LLGX14/

= $460 total

I bought it thanks to an employer's WFH covid stipend. If I get such a home office stipend again, I will likely go with this sort of brand which is at least on the top 5 list of non-wobbly desks linked above.

- Price: $850 https://www.amazon.com/Vari-Electric-Standing-Desk-Adjustabl... note: it does not have a cross beam, so it might not be the best choice. I will likely keep searching
I find it tough to concentrate on serious work while standing, but I do use mine elevated when I am doing administrative tasks or research.
I have the predecessor to the Uplift4 and have owned it for 7 or 8 years now. https://www.upliftdesk.com/uplift-4-leg-standing-desk-v2-v2-...

It has been a very good purchase for me--I stand for at least 2-3 sessions during the work day and find it very helpful.

This particular unit has very little wobble and is extremely strong. Zero regrets and I highly recommend it. If you're doing any consulting/contracting this should be a tax deductible purchase.
> not the fact that things are cheaper

In these discussions it's easy to forget that it's not only things that get cheaper or more expensive. Services and people's salaries also adjust the same way. With deflation your salary will also go down.
I recently purchased a walking treadmill for my standing desk, though it hasn't come in yet. I do think that if you're interested in burning some calories on the clock, a standing desk is a prerequisite.
YMMV. If you're charging in Ontario Canada on super-low overnight electricity plan (3c/kWh) it costs $2. In California at some superchargers at peak times it costs 60 c/kWh, or $40 for a charge.

So, somewhere between $2 and $40. IOW, a generic answer is in no way helpful.
My personal favorite was when my company switched to configuring Jenkins in YAML, with some of the config being in YAML proper and other config being in Groovy embedded inside of multiline strings. Since it's Jenkins, the Groovy itself embeds multiline strings for scripts that need to run, so the languages end up nested three levels deep!

The only thing that saves me is IntelliJ's inject-language-in-string feature.
A number of surveys has been done over the last few years and Polish people have a quite strong views on Russia, opposite to what you think.

In fact, we have the most unfavourable view on Russia in the world... 97% of Poles view Russia unfavourably [1]. There is a reason why Poland took on 1M+ Ukrainian refugees and continues to supply weapons and being major hub for American/European operations.

You need to ask for credit for the tread wear warranty when buying new tires.

They won’t give this automatically but if you ask they should immediately do it cheerfully at a good shop.

If you’re in the US, I’ve had good experience with Discount Tires and Americas Tires (same company; they use a different name depending on what state you’re in). Savings for me has been about 50% each time.

And Costco is the worst for this; I suspect they get the warranty money and pocket it because they sure put up a wall with a bad policy that says they don’t honor the warranty unless the tread gets down to a dangerous level.
Or maybe it's just really irritating when people post low-effort articles that are obviously in conflict with personal experience.

I bought a fairly cheap one off of Amazon last year to see if I would actually use it before buying some of the more recommended brands and models. I find there are times where it helps to stand. Usually during those online meetings where I tend to get distracted and fidget more.

How much I stand really depends on the day.

I think the desk top matters, the accessories and how much you remember to use it.

I have two fully Jarvis sit / stand desks. One at home and one at my coworking space.

There are mats and balance boards you can stand on to keep your balance moving around which makes standing less…boring?

I have to remind myself to stand up and set a timer to take a seat again. It can help vary things up a bit.

It’s somewhat pricey, esp w the accessories I mentioned. Supposedly this can be a big contributor to health though, so hard to put a price on that.

I also put some time and a little money into the under desk power and cable management basket and a high watt power strip so only one cord would hang.

It all takes time and money and then you gotta use the stuff but it’s nice.

I’d suggest investing in a nice office chair first.
I’ve always avoided blind signing endpoints for this reason. You’re reducing the authenticity guarantee by a thousandfold, and increasing so much complexity.

If you're looking at these for the health benefits, you might also want to consider dedicating a part of the budget towards a walking pad to go with the desk. Just standing at a standing desk is boring, walking is much more fun and more active as well.
Not only an anecdote, but one based entirely on in-warranty period, when repair costs are expected to be zero!

I wonder how battery degradation factors in to this. After ten years of daily use, a well-maintained Toyota will continue to cost very little in maintenance, but a lithium battery will have lost 50% of its capacity. How does the need to replace a battery affect TCO? Or is the assumption that no one will own a car that long?
There is absolutely a technique to it. Watch Moka Pot Voodoo [1] by the Wired Gourmet. The key to getting good taste is to carefully control the temperature of the coffee puck and flow rate of water through it. Pre-boiling the water in the bottom chamber before dropping in the coffee basket and screwing on the lid solves the first problem: keep the coffee from overheating. Moving the Moka pot on and off the heat in order to maintain a gentle, steady flow solves the second.

> as close as possible to Pokémon while still staying legally distinct

I'm definitely not an expert on the matter, so this is just curiosity. How can something be so similar that the average person looks at it and thinks it's a Pokémon clone and not count as a derivative work?
To paraphrase, a study found that EVs are clearly cheaper to own for the kind of driving most people do and the kind of EVs most people have.

A vehicle with low energy efficiency per unit weight, like an SUV, costs about the same regardless of fuel.

To find a higher TCO for EVs, you have to go to long-range (>400mi) vehicles and include battery technology from 25 years ago.
When did Raspberry Pi get so expensive?
It's a nice feature, but it doesn't really fix the issue. I still need like I need to walk around now and again.
It may be doable, a budget setup would be two half-duplex SDRs (synced with the same clock source between them), paired with diametrically opposed end-fire radiation pattern antennas in which one transceiver acts as Tx sends step-frequency continuous waveforms into the field and Rx collects the reflected signals, baring the snow the surroundings should be homogenous enough to pick up the wallet hopefully!
Initially thought of a different approach than bouncing sfcw as well, but suggesting this because it has a properly documented success after a quick search: http://pe.org.pl/articles/2019/9/7.pdf

For me, yes.

I've had a Jarvis desk for some years now (at least 7? not sure). The overall build quality feels quite good for the price.

I originally bought it because I'd heard that alternating between standing and sitting was good for you, and I imagined myself switching its height multiple times per day.

I ended up mostly just sitting at it. But it's nice to have the ability to get the height just right for each person using it.

FWIW, I haven't had any of the wobbliness problems that others are mentioning.
Yes. I made my own for about £200 by buying a crank-driven frame (everything but the desk top) and a length of oak worktop (US: kitchen countertop) and screwed it on myself.

If I had my time again, I probably wouldn't buy a crank-driven one.

I basically can't present work or be interviewed without standing up any more. It feels weird.
Ideally there are enough details in the study to where you can evaluate the truthfulness of it from its content rather than its funding. But FWIW: https://css.umich.edu/people/external-advisory-board
I have this desk from a Michigan-based company called Deskhaus (https://desk.haus/collections/sale/products/apex-pro-max-but...). It’s very stable. They also have a YouTube channel, and they test the wobbliness of desks in a few videos (e.g., https://youtu.be/dv-vjJqukn0).
It depends on the state/region as it depends on the underlying electricity cost. You can “fill up” for like $5-15 if you’re in a state where electricity is inexpensive and you’re willing to charge at off peak times.
Having a standing desk is worth it. I used to have back pain and with the standing desk it is all gone.

But even when you just sit at the desk, a few centimeters of table height can make all the difference for back pain.

I have an electric one from Ikea for around 500 EUR, but there are also even cheaper similar desks for ~ half the price.
Just film the dials and show the video to the repairman, should be clear enough (/clearer). Computer vision not necessary.

It depends. I suggest you first try to work at your desk with a tray on top or something that lets you try out switching between standing and sitting all the time. See if you’ll actually be switching between standing and sitting and enjoy it.

I have one. Bought it about 9 years ago. Thought it was so cool. After the first week I barely ever moved it to standing.

Fast forward to now. I have some pretty bad lower back pains that I do like standing frequently. Unfortunately the desk I have is motorized not manual; and it stopped working. So I now have a tray that I switch in and out during the day to sit and stand.
I have mine from Flexispot.de and I absolutely love it. Already 3 years that I have it, I believe I got a good deal. I stand maybe like 10% of the time but still I think my body and my back is thanking me for this.
My Model S75 would cost me about $8 to fully charge from empty at home. Maybe $15 at a Tesla supercharger. That's for 250 miles of range.
> Charging, some placed really gouge you - I mostly charge at home (~0.115k/wh), and some local places are 3-5x that; home charging is the cheapest I've found.

I wouldn't call it gouging. You're excluding the capex on your home charger in your comparison, but public chargers have to include that, maintenance costs as a result of public abuse, maintenance of payment infrastructure, rent for the site, and taxes. If you consider what a public charger might take in a day, it's clear that the non-marginal costs are the majority of the cost.
How many misfires like this should happen before a whole generation of managers learns to not do that even once? How should I be sure that the company won’t reverse its course and sue me right back retroactively?

There had been cases of the same companies doing several oopsie-daisies in a row. I can only be sure they can and will pull that shit again and again, and having done this once is proof enough.

The parable of the frog and the scorpion exists for a reason.

The only way a company may do something to prove they mean it is to do something they really cannot back away from by any reasonable means, not without paying a devastating cost.

And thus my point above about Haier still stands.
Cooling is heating everything else.

The symmetry between cooling and heating is only a linearization approximation, like also the symmetry between compression and expansion.

There is no surprise that there are scenarios when the approximations deviate too much from the actual behavior and cooling and heating are asymmetric (and also compression and expansion).
Would fine tuning be able to fix this kind of problem in a model like LLaVA?

I am not sure if it even has the right foundation data set to even understand the myriad of gauges that exist in the world, so I doubt fine tuning will fix anything.
