Basically, to get subsidies, you need to install a battery storage system with a solar installation. This can be quite a bit more expensive than the solar alone. (worth it if possible, adds a backup in case of a power outage too)

Without this, wouldn't you know which version of your document you're looking at? What is the workflow leading to that?
This narrative bothers me because it removes the personal responsibility from people who are… responsible. Like, we can’t tell people they can’t do anything to fix it and so they shouldn’t feel bad for continuing life as normal… and then be surprised when they don’t change their behavior.

Guess what, you should feel bad. History and your descendants will judge the hell out of you. Billions will die and your small part, while certainly not the cause, will still be pinned to you for your acquiescence to it being “too hard” to change.

Now, if everyone in the developed world got this message suddenly change isn’t so hard.
> I paid 43 cents/kWh last month

Whoooooa ok that makes more sense why folks are complaining; I paid 13 cents/kWh last month, less than 1/3 of what you're talking about.

Note for others, paying $0.45/kWh is highly unusual for the US as a whole; see the US Gov published stats on average electricity prices by region which puts the average at ~$0.17/kWh: https://www.bls.gov/regions/midwest/data/averageenergyprices...
I think these are typically called moire patterns, and you will see them almost any time a high frequency signal is being rendered at a lower frequency. Anti-aliasing, box filters etc are common workarounds for them but you can't always make them completely go away.

I love how the makers of these cabinets filled in the creative blanks that the graphics on screen couldn't possibly do. This is an extreme example of that concept, but Atari were masters at it.

Sadly, it's the other way around now. Videogames are delivered with minimal packaging, or digital download only.
Mice work fine with the MQ3. I log into my Windows machine with Immersed all the time with many virtual screens and less bandwidth hoggery so I'd have no problem using it over the WAN. It can track an Apple Magic Keyboard so it can show it to me when the passthrough is off.
My hunch is that boomphf will outperform and also supports any key type: https://github.com/10XGenomics/rust-boomphf

I‘m not impressed by the quality Netflix gives me when on my phone, all while paying for a 4K plan. Streaming a locally hosted 4K file looks just way better. Apple TV+ is approaching that level of quality, so it’s definitely doable.

But playing video games is not the same as working. I can play video games for hours without breaks, sometimes even a whole day, but I can't do the same for solving complex work task, like coding and debugging, or shitting through documents and spreadsheets, plus the constant interruptions and context switching of a work day which you don't have in racing videogames.

So I'll repeat my question. Will you and most AVP customer be able to actually put in as many hours of daily/weekly/monthly work in their AVPs as they usually do on their computer setup, or is that just a fantasy people tell themselves to justify the thing? Because so far, no AVP users have come forward with such claims.

I read Ra and I loved it, but it's imperfect. It could use an editor.

Antimemetics, being SCP-related, comes with a hefty dollop of magical realism.

I agree with you but it's not so much with the idea of me winning, it's more in the hopes of the EU requiring Amazon to properly label where a product is made or where its coming from. Ebay does it and other big name businesses I don't know why Amazon should be exempt from this. I understand the large majority of items on Amazon likely come from China but I would personally prefer to buy products made from US, EU, CA, MX KR, JP etc. Amazon purposly hides this information from us.
It can vary over the micro-scale. Where I live in NM, we could go down very deep and never hit rock, because we're sitting on the soft sandy soil(ish) alluvial deposits at the bottom of large (20 mile diameter) basin. But neighbors who live less than 1 mile away are sitting on metamorphic rock just inches below the surface.
Precisely. Architecture and construction can be improved, but kids are always going to yell. And unless you really believe kids have to live in detached housing, the answer is obvious - fix our environment to keep kids from annoying their neighbors.

Which specific law are you referring to? What was the content of the law? You need to be more clear. Repeating the same talking point isn't going to get anywhere, and I can only reference the law(s) I'm familiar with. In Washington at least they were pretty clear that it was a ban on all semi-automatic weapons, exempting handguns. I think California, New York, and Illinois were roughly the same.

> When money was essentially free to borrow, it made all the sense in the world to make a large number of bets because the odds were on your side that at least one of them would pay off. Now, however, each bet comes with a real opportunity cost, so companies are making fewer speculative bets and thus need fewer people.

I disagree with this. Interest rates were very low for a long time. Tech hiring and salaries only boomed because of COVID. Companies needed to adapt or they would not be allowed to function; and these companies needed new software tools to handle it. COVID also encourages quite a few people to retire or move companies. Why work here if you can be in the hospital for another month? That same mentality also contributed to job hopping. Companies over hired just to deal with growing turnover. They said they over hired.

Interest rates do not help, but before generative AI, the best new startups would do is put an app for a traditional service or sell NFTs. It was not real innovation in those low interest times.
The nice thing with software is that everyone gets to be an archaeologist in short order; ~6 months is more than enough...

I don't think having backup heat is a terrible idea, but it could be any fuel source. The fan should still function with minimal power to circulate air as long as there's some heat to move around.
It's much harder to fire people in Japan due to their labor laws. The result is that companies often just make employees as uncomfortable as possible to try and make them quit. There are stories about Konami during its worst period for example doing things like blocking access to the internet, banning employees having their own email addresses, or forcing people to do menial jobs instead of their real jobs.
I’m not sure I understand. In your example you’ve grouped related data in a struct and validating that it matches your system’s invariants, that feels good to me.

The original example was more “wrap a simple type in an object so it’s always validated when set” which looks beautiful when you don’t have the needed getters in the example nor show all the Get call sites opposed to the 1 or 2 New call sites. All in the name of “we don’t want to set the username without validation” but without private constructors Username{“invalid”} can be invoked, the validation circumvented and I’m not convinced the overhead we paid was worth it.
I appreciate you trying it out and sorry that this was your experience!

Would be interested to also know how they handle per-title audio. With stereo -> 5.1 -> 7.1 and the sides and wide layout variants, how do they think about this during the inspection and encoding process? Being completely naive to Netflix's source media, and assuming it comes in a variety for formats and media, it seems like there are decision to make there. Though audio obviously has a much lower bandwidth burden, one would think there could still be QoE gains (and bandwidth savings) by doing things that AV1 can do with different scenes in something like OPUS.
Sometimes I think beating that should be a research project or startup.

I am frustrated with all the GUI SQL clients like pgadmin4, DBeaver, etc.

There are so many things brain damaged about those things, for instance the way they are always harassing you to every precious SQL query you wrote but aren't really oriented to saving your files together with your code in version control with discipline as well as having scratch files that don't punish you for using scratch files.

The worst problem is that the harder queries involve looking at several tables at once so I really want something that lets me look at all the table definitions that are relevant to a query I am writing at once and that does the same thing at the instance level as well as the schema level, that is, if I am looking at a particular record I want to see the graph of related records around it following key relationships, whether those are coded in the schema or not.

Even then, it's pretty ridiculous to say that this is a valid argument against using pie charts. It's a valid argument against using them when you've got multiple similarly sized slices, or some other thing that would make them the wrong choice, but there are great reasons to not use most visualizations in incompatible contexts. Just like anything else in graphic design, these things should be used when they are better at conveying a point than other methods and not used when they aren't. Coming up with rules like this is like saying "never use garlic" and then coming up with every dish from chocolate pudding to iced tea that's not made better with garlic. Use the right tool for the job. It's design "rules" like this that will inspire some insecure "Ha! Gotcha! So-called expert!" type of nerd rant from a developer in a meeting where I'm presenting work I've done as a designer.
The quad these guys are using is a Crazyflie. Small, mostly prebuilt, targeted at researchers.

It has a few "addons" like optical flow sensors and external position trackers that let you extract ground truth attitude/position, which is helpful for research like this.

Not really "off-the-shelf," but it's a good thing to get if you care more about the controls, learning, trying new algorithms stuff more than sourcing parts, getting RC receiver/tx, sizing motors, that kind of thing.

Sleep when you can. That's really my only piece of advice in the first couple of months, as long as your newborn isn't sleeping regularly you need to catch your Z's at every opportunity.

What country, if I may ask?

I recently did some research on ducted Daikin systems in the Seattle area, and estimates were all in the $20K range, for full installation. The equipment itself may be ~$6K or so (not sure exactly), but it's the labor that costs a lot.
Agreed on all.
I'd like to add it also pains me that the power to produce about five times more light for the same electricity expenditure has been given without question or qualification to most of humankind, and yet almost no-one seems to ask themselves whether keeping spending the same energy and producing about five times as much light is what they should be doing...
Off the shelf heat pumps will have a defrost control board too, but you make a solid point.

The hard part is that you have to recover the refrigerant and refill, which takes HVAC/R equipment and and EPA certification to do legally.

This is a totally different result. It’s providing a proof of an algorithmic complexity. So let’s say you have 10^18 items, it’s likely you’d be using this even if certain algorithms are faster at smaller numbers. It’s also important to note the particularly interesting result is how the mathematicians proved that the earlier design was optimal (upper and lower bound). The technique is the valuable part as it adds to the mathematician tool kit of how to prove such results. This article is about math papers / functional theoretic math, not about applies CS ideas.
Every struct requiring its zero value to be meaningful is probably one of the worst design flaws in the language.

> That is not a true clustered index or index organized table, the table is still a heap and there is still a secondary index that is the b-tree.

Fair point.

The speed increase is still decent [0], although if you don't need most of the tuples (and ignoring TOAST-ed columns), you could achieve similar results with a simple REINDEX.

> Since most of your key are indexed typically this is an issue either way since that will cause fragmentation in clustered or non clustered indexes on a random UUID requiring page splits etc.

When I shop for clothes online, I click through colors and sometimes through photos to see clothes from different angles or zoomed in. It's a sneaky kind of carousel that is actually useful.
> If this isn’t happening, it’s because they are choosing not to.

My point is that this is happening. This is exactly what’s happening. In California and across the country, local control is exactly being overruled by state power, exactly because suburbs have created impenetrable legal requirements for anyone who does not already own a home to build one.

I think there’s something to the virtual screens beyond just a larger active workspace.

> You shouldn’t need to know what messaging app your friends or family use to get in touch with them, and you should be able to communicate from one app to another without having to download both.

Shouldn't you, and should you, really? Right now, if I communicate with someone on Signal, I know that they are using Signal, and I know that we are using the Signal protocol. In a world where I don't know what messaging app my correspondents are using, how do I know that I can trust the protocol?

> “This effectively means that the approach that we’re trying to take is for WhatsApp to document our client-server protocol and letting third-party clients connect directly to our infrastructure and exchange messages with WhatsApp clients.”

Ok, third-party clients, why not. Except that now, when I want to verify the key with the correspondent, I will have to see that they use some third-party client (that may not be open source and that may be sending a copy of all my messages to some server), and decide whether or not I am fine with it. In many ways this is worse than being forced to use WhatsApp.

> Meta’s app will also allow other apps to use different encryption protocols if they can “demonstrate” they reach the security standards that WhatsApp outlines in its guidance.

Which implies that instead of telling the correspondent that I'd be more comfortable talking over Threema than <whatever>, I will have to say "here are the encryption protocols I trust, can you use one of those from your app?".

> There will also be the option, Brouwer says, for third-party developers to add a proxy between their apps and WhatsApp’s server.

And now it's not E2EE anymore, is it?

I really fear that in practice, it will just weaken end-to-end encryption everywhere. And for what? I have absolutely no problem using multiple apps to talk with friends right now, I don't need one "super-app".

But maybe that is actually a political incentive: if you can't make E2EE illegal (in order to spy on your citizen), make it weak.
So, I was barely able to view the website (I'm not sure if that's just me, or if that is how the site is supposed to be designed, but from the youtube linked by @Topfi, is this a good use case for the glasses? Why would I want to read that information? Meta glasses can do this and speak the info to me, which seems a nicer UX.

There are definitely things that would be better in the visual field, directions is the obvious one, but that's been seen so many times. Seeing as we all QR code menus at restaurants now, how about scanning and showing a menu. Sure it isn't AI, but that's not the point of the glasses.

I find these devices, Humane and Brilliant, focus too much on the AI component when the magic is the hardware they've developed. AI is and will be everywhere. It can run everywhere. I feel we're already at the point where "it has AI" is as valuable as "we've built an iphone app that..."

Rabbit is the exception here, which is why they standout. The AI is the compelling part of their offering, and the hardware is designed to limit the availability of the AI giving the early adopters the opportunity to train the AI on the tasks it will be able to complete for the mainstream, when the market gets there.
