IFTTT is a legitimate use of scraping public data from websites. But forget about IFTTT, it was just used as an example. It's just an example of automation looking at public website content and then taking some action. You're too focused on IFTTT and not the problem with blockading publicly accessible data.

For example, Zillow goes to great lengths to restrict bots, but I want to get updates if a property changes somehow on Zillow. It's publicly accessible data if you're not using a bot. "IFTTT" is just an example of a service that automates these things. I can write my own automation service, but if I'm using a bot, Zillow will block me (I've actually done this before).

> i doubt that very much indeed. it isn't practical to run a switching power supply with feedback latencies of multiple milliseconds

That's because the control loop for a grid battery doesn't work the way you probably expect. The grid is effectively an infinite sink, so the voltage and frequency you observe "is what it is". You can't change it[^1], so you can't use voltage feedback from the output of your SMPS to drive the PWM. If you tried to do that with any kind of PID loop, you'd always be pinned at either maximum charge rate or maximum discharge rate[^2].

The correct way to do it is with an inner loop that will target a phase angle between grid voltage and your current. An outer loop (with a longer time constant) will set that target angle by comparing the measured grid frequency to a schedule.

> 100ms is 6 entire cycles of a 60-hertz sine wave

Yes, and?

You're measuring a sine wave, not a square with fast edges. Any voltage noise on the line is going to influence the zero-crossing and thus the measured frequency (which drives your battery controller). If you try have your controller do cycle-by-cycle corrections, you're again going to have your battery always at maximum charge or maximum discharge.

[^1] When Tesla's battery in Australia "saved the grid" when Loy Yang tripped offline, it dumped 150MW into the grid so that the rate of change of grid frequency was reduced. Even with the battery running balls to the wall, the grid was still slowing down.

[^2] Assuming that you haven't set your P and I terms to 0.
I get a similar impression but to contextualize, in terms of statistical programming what you’re saying is even more so true of what came before R, but a thousand fold worse. In that context R is fantastic.

For example SAS makes R look beautiful and consistent. And that’s more a comment on SAS than R. And this isn’t to say python is perfect either, but I prefer it.

> And if they had been right that it would vanish all by itself, like a flu season

This always seemed rather optimistic. Flu rates are seasonal, and COVID could have been seasonal. But pandemic flus and particularly nasty flu strains also fade away because enough people either get them or get vaccinated that they are usually no longer so significant the following year. COVID lockdowns largely prevented this.

If the vaccines had worked anywhere near as well as an optimistic interpretation of the trials suggested, the lockdowns would probably have looked better in hindsight.

(Which isn’t to say that lockdowns didn’t have some value. If nothing else, they bought time for the vaccines to roll out and they may have contributed to a lot of people getting Omicron instead of earlier strains. It seems like Omicron was a decent amount less nasty.)
Regardless of what you use, you should have a clear idea of what you plan to accomplish in the next n days. And you need to communicate this information to your manager. If you have done that, and the manager agrees it’s a reasonable objective then I don’t see how what you describe can ever happen. If an unplanned task comes up with a high priority then you simply tell your manager: “OK, sure, which of the planned tasks do you want to delay?”

It doesn’t matter what you use for planning, you agree to do something in advance, and you provide a reasonable estimate of how long it will take. Your manager should trust your estimates, even if they are sometimes wrong.

They are not the same process at all. Commercial ‶automated″ kits only genotype you, i.e. look at a couple thousands of well known SNPs to put you in the group you share more with. Resolution is low, extrapolation is virtually impossible, but it's cheap and fast, and Uncle Joe can claim his 15% Italian ancestry.

Work like those done on these denisovan is a whole other can of worms, which is still a very vibrant field (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_DNA) – at least it was when I left it a couple years ago. The main difference being that it's trying to sequence as much of the genome as possible, using the better preserved DNA molecules, typically in the teeth or some places in the skull. Then it's dozen of hours of menial work by specialized worker using protocols light-years ahead of what is done for the commercial kits.

> A better way is to pin _all_ your direct dependencies and check for minor version upgrades on a regular basis

I'd agree with that, I just don't believe that to be happening on any significant scale. Reasonably I think you should be able to do pinning like:

library>=3.0,<4

Depending on the versioning scheme of the library, but yes, pulling in minor release. We currently do that using Debian packages and just rely on the OS to provide security updates to underlying Python packages.

Pinning is fine is you manage updates, but if you're then pulling in three year old libraries, which may come with their own pinned third party dependencies, I still think you're doing it wrong. In the example from GP it appears that they are pinning versions as a way to avoid forking and patching a deprecated and unmaintained package.

I'm not oppose to version pinning as such, but if you don't have a plan to stay on top of security updates, then you're better off pulling in any minor update. It's not just at redeploy, you may reasonably need to pull dependency updates more frequently than you redeploy.

If you deploy using Docker e.g. you're CI system needs to be constantly be pulling in updates, rebuilding and testing container images. People just don't do that. Most developers I worked with don't even care to update their container images if they aren't updating their own code. I've on multiple occasions had to deal with developers who absolutely lost their mind because we didn't automatically pull in OS updates, yet they themselves shipped outdated Java libraries or at one point even relied on an out date version of an alpha release of Tomcat that hadn't been updated for three years. The only different was that their dependencies where in containers and therefor, in their mind, "safe".
Your comment feels like a regurgitation of the lie propagated by employers to discourage people from forming unions. Employers spread these lies because they know they only stand to lose from unions.
Top performers won’t lose anything after unionizing. That’s the entire point of a union - to provide employees with leverage to not only keep their current incentives, but to expand them.
The important thing to realize here is that companies are not our friends. Not even if we are top performers. The reason why top performers feel like they don’t need a union is because they have the illusion of leverage. Unions grant real and greater leverage by default, to all employees.
Hey Hadley!! Personally only issues for me with integrating R is making renv play nice in multistage docker builds.

Yes! We often detect planets in other solar systems because they pass in front of their stars, causing the brightness to dip. You can also look for Doppler shifts in the light you see from stars, which is caused by the planet pulling the star slightly. You can also look for the sorts of brightness changes you'd expect as a result of gravity lensing.

In almost all cases, you're looking for changes in something you can already see. The problem with a planet 9 is that so little light is getting to it that it's going to be very very dim.

Well, for my latest iteration, I'm using Bun+Elysia on the server which uses Typebox for request validation+schema, which is effectively JSON Schema so you could do something similar in other languages. I can pass that schema down to the client/browser, and I could use AJV to run that schema against the request before I send it to the server, but there's a couple tricky parts.

1.Json schema/AJV return not very human friendly results and they're hard to associate with a specific field to display the error nicely
2. If you want to validation as the user is typing to clear errors as they're satisfied, you have to run the entire schema, not just for that one field
3. Any async validations like checking if a username is unique is harder if not impossible with this approach

1) CPI is busted and understates inflation.

2) Wage growth measures are busted because they a) conflate the massive growth of top quartile incomes with with the stagnation, in real terms, of wages of the median and lower earner, and b) generally start well into the collapse of middle-class real income (and, covering the last decade, show the "growth" of the post-GFC recovery), and so don't capture the size of the hole the majority of America is digging itself out of.

Oh, indoor condensation absolutely will happen. Even in a new build that's up to "passive house certification" levels of well-insulated.

It's a much bigger problem than what you're talking about. Water and moisture come between the window frame and the wall frame.

> I’d rather have a comfy house with comfortable humidity, built to tolerate a comfortable humidity.

But any decent wood DOES tolerate humidity. It won't if you do stupid things, like put latex paint on the interior side.

The problem you'd see with wood windows not tolerating the minuscule amount of water you're mentioning with condensation is simply because someone messed something up. They built a frame out of SPF wood. They painted over it with latex. Or both.

A window frame made out of any decent wood will last a century of the condensation moisture you're mentioning. I've renovated more than one century houses and I see the difference. The wood windows that rotted were either because of exterior issues, or latex paint on the interior, or wood that should simply not be used to make a window.

The latency numbers were indeed shady .. like he advertised "cheapest digital fpv" and for that price they were doing 720p60fps with the latency around 80-100 indeed.. but with the more expensive 120fps setup, they were getting closer to interesting latency: https://youtu.be/i_Wz9oAK5z4?t=224

Private is used in opposition to public, as in 'private sector' and 'public sector', where public sector is ran and funded by the government, which means public finances, which mainly means taxes - people cant pick and choose which taxes they pay and what the money is put towards. In private sector on the other hand, people can privately decide what to invest their money in.

Sure, when you put subsidies and tax breaks into the mix the line gets a bit more blurry, but legally speaking its a well defined concept, even if not all private companies match the intuitive meaning of the phrase. And yeah, Google is a very specific case, which is why there is always some level of debate about whether it (and other similar companies) should be forced to split up, and some of the resulting parts turned into a public utility service.
