As far as I know just high CRI alone as a measurement is only a small part of the story. You can have 90 CRI LEDs that don't have good color output.
Kinda but often times such research isn’t even “waiting on the shelf”. You can see that in the Iceberg paper which describes how earlier constructions optimized for PMEM Hw did a bad job because they were built against simulated hardware. In practice you need to actually iterate with real designs.

I doubt such designs will find practical uses (iceberg maybe but the pure math designs seem unlikely).
Man oh man ... this is the good stuff. Thank you.
Sounds like you're trying to "debate" someone who thinks the media isn't biased. That's not me, mate. I had a different point altogether.
The existence of the garbage collector does not negate the wastefulness of updating every package on the system just because the hash of the C library has changed: even if all the old versions of the packages get garbage collected soon enough, it still wastes network and storage bandwidth to download all the new packages into /nix/store/.

NixOS has some good ideas, but also some seemingly boneheaded or impractical ones.

I feel like the term "microservice" is open to misinterpretation (people tend to focus on the micro part a bit much; I remember someone waxing poetic about something like a csv parsing service they had). But surely monolith is quite unambiguous: a system which is deployed as a whole. That is, you cannot deploy some part of the system on its own. You want to get changes in part X to prod? Better be prepared to deploy A through W and Y and Z as well.

That feels fairly precise. But maybe some folks would disagree with this definition of a monolith.

> In the adjacent pie chart, try to figure out which group is the biggest one [...]. You will probably struggle to do so and this is why pie charts must be avoided.

It's not that bad when the purpose of the pie is not to figure out which group is the biggest.

I find the pie pretty appropriate when the goal is to figure out

- if all the groups are more or less the same

- if one or several groups are way bigger than the other groups

- if one or several groups are way smaller than the other groups

Not saying pies are the best for this (bar charts work well too), just saying it works well.

> try to order them by value

I mean, why would you not order them already inside the chart? So that the reader doesn't have to do it.

Is your $0.30-0.40/kwh rate based on your Solar cost?

The non-solar rates[1] in Bay Area right now range starting from $0.42/kwh on tiered plan which you will blow through if you elect heat-pump heating and going all the way to higher than 50 cents per KWh if you are on one of the Time of US plan.

[1]https://www.pge.com/assets/pge/docs/account/rate-plans/resid...

As much as i love the efficiencies offered by heat pumps, unless i splurge $10-$20k on a solar system with a battery backup, heat pumps are too expensive to operate with CA electrical rates.

My gas(which i use for heating) during same period cost $2.54 per therm, although i dont know how to compare it to kwh for heating purposes.
Update: I just checked my electrical bill for January.

My total cost for generation and delivery of 478 kwh which is what my household used in 32 days, cost me $209 after fees and taxes which makes my rates around 44 cents per kwh on average.
Ah yeah, you have to do a rescan of that library to index the content.

Usually, rescans happen at night 12a local time. But if you manually put new content on a library, you have to manually scan.

I also do that when I download mega-content packages. They're usually not adhering to Jellyfin's methodology of content index. So I fix it, and rescan. And once the scan indicates done, it's usually all good.
If you deliberately throw out your record collection, possibly because you no longer like that style of music that's OK and not the thing we are debating here.

I do still listen to those records from 20 years ago.

We are also not talking about you renting music. That's OK if you decide you'd rather rent your music and are OK to loose access to it at any point in time at which Spotify or a rights owner may pull it from rental access.

We are talking about music that someone bought to own, albeit with DRM because copying. That's OK too but then Sony can't pull something like this without valid outrage being directed at them. The expectation was that I can listen to this in 75 years if I so choose.
That aside, I don't think a system where the spending disparity is in the territory of $200m vs $20m can be perceived as fair. I'd feel upset about it even if it turned out the way I personally wanted.

In my experience, the USA is shitting on its entry-level engineers. I know 3 junior engineers unemployed 6 months after graduation, from top 20 to top 40 schools. They have 10 total internships among them.

One had a zoom, corp job with 24/7 hours they had no life and quit. One had their offer rescinded 4 weeks before start date. One had their position cancelled 60d after start date. All are now longterm unemployed with virtually no interviews.

> I had to google to find some arguments against pie charts

Can you give me any arguments for pie charts? I also disagree with that article that the best alternative to a pie chart is a bar chart.

Whenever your doing any sort of data visualization you should always ask "How does this representation convey information that cannot be represented in a table?"

Can you provide an example where a pie chart would tell you more than could be conveyed in a table?

Tables are incredibly information dense, have an unambiguous ordering and can easily scale to expressing 5-6 dimensions of information in the exact same space that a pie-chart can convey. Tables are limited in that they work best when representing a very small number of observations, but pie-charts and bar-charts share this same problem without any of the benefits of tables.

If a table won't cut it, then you probably have enough data that a scatter plot is your best choice. Scatter plots also can easily handle an extra 2-3 dimensions (color, scale, and shape) of information.
I'd guess it's just what different people are used to. Some people think a 24" 1080p monitor looks just fine, others will find it very pixelated and hard to use.

Plenty of people think VR headsets look great, whereas all I notice is pixels, screen door, and aliasing.
As a software engineer over the past 10 years, this environment has been horrible. What happened is that it has been very difficult to find good projects to work on which were not bullshit; I.e. doomed from the start.

Finding that good 1% of companies has been like finding a needle in a haystack, especially as an outsider where you don't even know what the needle looks like.

Also, tech recruitment has been broken since the beginning. It has been based almost entirely on resume buzzwords (in the pre-selection phase) and one's ability to solve puzzles quickly within a constrained time frame (for the selection phase). Neither of these things are relevant to the job of software engineering; what's relevant is solving problems in an optimal way. HR who worked for big tech could have put focus on engineers' track record on past projects instead of ignoring it completely. Also, in latter years, DEI quotas further distorted the already COMPLETELY BROKEN recruitment process. Like rubbing salt into a gaping, infected wound.

I'm looking forward to high interest environment. I hope there is a huge crash and that most tech companies go bankrupt so that the industry can finally make room for people who know what they're doing.

Just look at what's happening in society and tell me that tech has been successful. Only innovation we got are LLMs, but wait to see how they're going to be applied to industry... If we keep going down the current path, it's not going to be good.

The tech industry over the past 10 years has felt like a show, completely detached from fundamentals. I was hoping that I would be given the chance to compete on a level playing field. It didn't happen since I started my career.

Every playing field in the tech sector has been rigged and distorted by private equity, national governments, foreign governments, intelligence agencies, big corporations, startup incubators, the media/social media, law firms... Absolute psyop from every side. Every well-connected corrupt midwit and dimwit benefited; everyone except skilled creators.
Are you not aware of the throwing babies in pools fad that comes and goes in popularity? They do better than you'd think.
There's a mistake many junior devs (and sometimes mid and senior devs) make where they confuse hiding complexity with simplicity - using a string instead of a well defined domain type is a good example, there is a certain complexity of the domain expressed by the type that they don't want to think about too deeply so they replace with a string which superficially looks simpler but in fact hides all of the inherent complexity and nuance.

It causes what I call the lumpy carpet syndrome - sweeping the complexity under the carpet causes bumps to randomly appear that when squashed tend to cause other bumps to pop up rather than actually solving the problem.

Can you give me a single example where a pie chart would better convey information than a table?

The only visualization more useless than a pie-chart is a 3d pie-chart.
I've always have my handlers individually set as a struct each with a method to handle the route/request.

type CreateUser struct {

store storage.Store

cache caching.Cache

logger logging.Logger

pub events.Publisher

// etc

}

func (op CreateUser) ServeHTTP(ctx, req, rw) {}

// or if you have custom handlers

func (op CreateUser) ServeHTTP(ctx, input) (output, error) {}

And in my main.go, or where I set up my dependencies, I create each operation, passing it its specific dependencies. I love that because I can keep all the helper methods for that specific operation/handler on that specific struct as private methods.

It does get tedious when you have one operation needing another, as you might start passing these around or you extract that into its own package/service.

2.7 COP is a a noticeable improvement but still terrible at those temperatures. Are you sure it’s 6.6 kW?

PS: 2.7 COP * 0.665 = 180% efficiency which still crushes the 80% heat pump in your example but these numbers should be much higher.
There are regional variations in the use of doubled or single consontants:

UK: travelling, signalling

USA: traveling, signaling

The double l serves no purpose in these.

However, there is no such UK/USA split in "referring": both use double "r".

There is a phonetic reason for that which is that the second syllable has the emphasis in "refer", unlike "traveling" and "signaling" where the leading syllable has it.

The double "rr" indicates the stressed syllable, without which "refering" and "referer" could be misread with emphasis on the first syllable, like "buffering" or "suffering"/"sufferer".

A native speaker with good intuition for spelling would never write "refering" or "referrer", even if they find "signaling" acceptable.
Also cases where someone wants to visually represent exactly how much of a pie they've eaten.
Being against pie charts is a great example of mid-wit (angry, ranting about nothing). The anti pie chart crowd recognises that other plots can achieve everything the pie chard does, and more. But the fail in this understanding is the assumption of "more is more". Sometimes you don't want readers getting down into the details. Sometimes you don't want readers comparing the relative sizes of pie segments (which the human eye tends to do on bar charts). Sometimes pie charts just suit the overall layout of the document they're part of.

tl;dr be mindful there's often a better plot to use than a pie chart, but if you want to use a pie chart, go for it.

Same, except I am expecting calls from unknown numbers more or less constantly these days. I do remember a time in my life where I could get away with an attitude of "people I care about have other ways to contact me, so this is a non-problem," but that was basically before marriage, kids, and homeownership.
pie charts really are inferior in practically every context though.
I’m just taking equipment cost here, this is in Australia (Air conditioning is extremely common here, and basically every unit is a reverse cycle heat pump too, so installation also seems very cheap compared to the US).

Just saying if the equipment cost of the whole system is well under $5K, it shouldn’t cost anything like that to replace a circuit board (which as others have said, the part probably costs $100 wholesale to the technician).
You assume efficiency is the goal.
I went looking for the famous Edward Tufte quote about pie charts, Tufte being one of the elder statesmen of data visualization, and found it at this old HN thread:

only worse design than a pie chart is several of them, for
then the viewer is asked to compare quantities located in
spatial disarray both within and between charts [...] Given
their low density and failure to order numbers along a
visual dimension, pie charts should never be used.
I just don't understand how I would ever get an EV serviced, the small mechanic shops around me don't (or can't due to expensive manufacturer tools) really work on EVs. And I don't know how much I can do myself without manufacturer tools.

Plus the service costs just seem very high in general.

I can do all the work on my 4runner with a couple tools and parts are generally very cheap as well.
This is false the rockstar salaries in software started in the early 2010s with the rise of the worldwide software (SAAS) company many CS jobs started paying more than doctor or EE jobs even though the barriers to entry were lower. This directly coincided with the savings bubble from the first boomers - age 65 - finishing their peak savings years 2010 - 2022. This ZIRP savings bubble isn't coming back!

I've got news for you folks. This gravy train is not coming back ...
I don't think it's a very good analogy because, at least when it comes to the parks in my neck of the woods, 95 percent of the litter problem is 5 percent of the people. Clearly you can solve it by addressing their behavior.

When it comes to our impact on the carrying capacity of this planet, we don't have a small handful of bad actors. We have a small handful of good actors. The vast majority of us (here in the US) are not willing to make the compromises necessary to be carbon neutral. We just don't know how to live that way, and it may take several generations of trying to figure it out.

In the meantime, were going to have to find a balance between quality and quantity of life. To leave quantity unconstrained is to expect the have-nots to quietly tolerate the excesses of the haves to a much greater degree than they already do. It seems like a recipe for needless conflict (which will further set back, if not completely prevent, our sustainability goals).
For reference, I enjoy (and have formally studied) both theoretical physics and pure theoretical mathematics. I get the "value" of both, even when the value is extremely abstract and removed from practical utility.

However.

Theoretical physics especially is grounded in reality. Sure, it has its frictionless cows and whatnot, but generally a connection with the real world is maintained.[1] In other words, it's possible to take an idealised theory and then sprinkle the messy details on top, such as friction and air resistance.

What I'm seeing in computer science is different. Their theories are not the type that need a slight quantitative adjustment to match reality in the sense of adding a 1% extra fine-tuning factors, but they're qualitatively wrong. They're wrong not by constant factors or constant offsets, but big-O notation wrong. The equations have the wrong powers in them! Missing square roots or logarithms!

It's as if the working engineers had switched from Newtonian to Relativistic Mechanics because we've colonised the Solar System, but all theoretical physicists are basically pretending that only Newtonian mechanics is worthy of study and that Lorentzian mechanics is just a fudge factor that can be ignored forever and ever. Even when we all live in space with multi-hour communication delays caused by the speed of light. "Just set that to zero and then..."

[1] One notable exception to this that grinds my gears is a habit of publishing papers about results that only apply in non-real toy models, such as 2+2 dimensional spacetime, but not putting a big warning box before the abstract to warn journalists that nothing in the paper applies to our reality.

Charts are useful for quickly conveying relationships within data, not for presenting data as raw information. They're useful specifically because they're not extremely information dense. If you're making video media, an article, an infographic, a poster, slides for a presentation, or anything similar, tables usually have far less impact and don't convey relationships and context well. Whether charts are the right tool for the job is a communication question. What are you trying to communicate, why, to whom, and in what context? While it perennially annoys the hell out of many in the engineering mindset, people find strategies that take these distinctions into account valuable, and that's why visual designers exist.

What's to stop Apple, for example, from setting up companies all over the world that employ their people and own their IP local to the employees? Then Apple US buys / licenses products for US distribution from those companies.

Massive companies have far more incentive to "engineer" their way around such laws than lawmakers have to find something without loopholes. Especially given how lobbying works in the US.
I've only had a chance to skim so far, but this is an absolutely superb survey of an enormous space. It doesn't just list out a bunch of data structures, it actully helps you build a mental model of all the concerns to think about when building or using data structures in an application.
That's a pretty selective list of claims they chose to investigate. In the "Gender-Based Violence" section, they list their conclusion "Continuing Research" despite saying "Sexual assault, committed either by militants and/or civilians from Gaza, likely occurred, primarily at the site of the Nova festival and surrounding area according to eyewitness accounts". They doubt any testimony from Israelis that points out Hamas atrocities, but cite uncritically the letter that Danielle Aloni wrote while captured praising her captors. None of it passes the smell test.
As you say, having a logger attached is one of those pragmatic and acceptable exceptions to the rule. In a perfect world we'd have the time to go to the trouble of implementing loggable types and data flows and associated higher order functions, in practice taking the compromise means getting the real business valuable work completed while still having the necessary (but usually "low priority") non-functional requirements like logging and metrics implemented.
