> It's because people don't understand cascade we end up with pages that have text in 18 different font sizes.

Variables and/or utility classes mostly solve this so not sure how it's related.

> Since then we've got more tools to control cascade: layers, scopes, inherit/initial/revert/revert-layer/unset for every property, etc. But people still insist on inline styling. I get it, it's much simpler. But they will keep being unhappy until they learn cascade and stop fighting tools. Yes, learning takes effort but so does resistance.

Similar to inheritance-like features in other languages, I have learned it and find composition is the better default. It's too complex for too little benefit so I avoid it wherever possible.

I find maintainable CSS approaches are all about reducing the blast radius of style inheritance. So people are writing maintainable in sprite of cascading, not because cascading helps.

> specificity is hard to grasp and order-dependent resolution

Specificity is another foot-gun to avoid for me. It's learnable, yet easy to forget later. When you're tempted to rely on specificity there's usually a more readable way to do it that's not going to bite you later.

Do you doubt the developers behind Tailwind library understand specificity and the cascade? They clearly must understand it, use it where it helps, and avoid it where it doesn't.

That sounds crazy to me. Even if someone was tracking people's private activity to that extent, it would almost always be a waste of police time to physically check on them after just one day of no internet use.
Back in the day it was done via the unit circle. So the process goes something like this:

1. Define sin/cos as ratios in a triangle
2. Draw a unit circle with an appropriate triangle in the first quarter and note that for the vertex on the circle, x = cos alpha and y = sin alpha.
3. Assuming it holds for values of alpha > 90 deg, extend sin/cos definitions to match.

Don't quite remember how one got derivatives from that, because trig and calc were in separate modules. Possibly via the sum formula.

That was actually a very easy part of EXODUS. Since TempleOS is basically a unikernel, it doesn't need any code for per-process virtual address space.

So I can just map some pages in the host process and the host process' address space becomes the HolyC kernel's entire address space, which is ironic since Terry was always adamant about how he disliked modern isolated per-process address spaces and that turned out to be a key to porting his OS to Ring 3.

I did need some code for "code pages" though - since all function calls in TempleOS use the 32 bit relative call instruction, all compiled HolyC code go in the lower 32 bit address space. Some Linux distros like to map the ELF binary at that address range too, so I have a routine to read /proc/self/maps and avoid mmapping those areas (I was surprised mmap can overlap without any signs).

Got it, so post-abolition United States is not “more righteous,” even on the dimension of human rights, than pre-abolition United States. It is, as you say, “impossible” to compare them. You don’t actually explain how you get from this position to the assertion you would be proactive against slavery, but I think the utter nonsense of the first claim reveals sufficient moral confusion by itself. You’re just trapped between “can’t criticize modern slavers” and “can’t say I accept slavers of the past,” which obviously is totally incoherent.

Not clear what point you’re arguing against by saying “HDI says UAE is good yet you don’t agree with it!” Why on earth would I defer full moral judgment to HDI?

I never claimed my moral system is objective, so I’m also not sure what facade you’re referring to.

Hi, I'm a full-stack engineer with around 3 years of experience. Past projects include being a team lead for a NextJS/.NET application on Kubernetes for a leading company in the Sports industry, where I oversaw all phases of the development from planning to delivery. Currently working as a team lead for application modernization projects at Deloitte. Standard tasks include code migration from COBOL to Java, communication with the Product Team and the clients, interface implementation and delivery management for large scale projects.

Willing to learn and adapt and open to any opportunities, but would like to work on B2C products with a user-centric focus!

Not only network transaction fees but slippage, front-running, LP fees. I'm not saying that wash trading doesn't occur in DeFi, but Uniswap would be one of the more inefficient places to do it.

So which is more likely?

1. Uniswap Labs, a Delaware C Corp based in NYC, is risking everything to burn millions or billions of dollars in order to place fake trades and bolster volume numbers.

2. Uniswap, the top on-chain exchange on Ethereum (a network where the primary use-case is creating and trading assets, and which has an ecosystem market cap of something like $800B) has over the course of over 5.5 years, done $2T in all-time volume (~1 billion / day on average)?

Most heat pumps fall back to electric heating when it's too cold. So, on these few days you will need the same amount of electricity a typical electric heating will need.

I’m very left wing on transit. I rode the Amtrak from Baltimore to DC every day for two years, I commuted from the suburbs to various DC metro stations for years to commute into the city. The right wing characterization of transit proved true based on experience despite my strong desire for it not to be true. Don’t get mad at right wingers for simply pointing out what’s plain to see. There’s a reason Americans are overwhelmingly leaving the places that have good transit for places that have no transit—the American version that’s always slow, late, dirty, and doesn’t go where you’re going is just not an amenity that’s worth it for most people.

The problem is not funding or public policy or geography. The northeast corridor is densely populated; there is no reason in terms of geography why you shouldn’t be able to have efficient transit in Baltimore and DC. These systems are well funded and heavily subsidized by the federal government. The problem is the people, and that’s a problem you can’t fix. You cannot redevelop American cities into anything other than what they are so long as you have Americans running them. It’s a futile exercise.
Yes it does, and for the reasons you stated I have flagged it.

There is always a tradeoff between different types of use cases. Some users solve problem A with the sofware. An other group solves problem B. Using the same software in both cases leads to edge cases that are bugs for one group but cannot be fixed without introducing bugs for the second group.

The clear specification really is the solution to resolve this issue. That you don't declare behavior as buggy that is according to specification.

Might be the wrong term, thus in quotes; I wanted to express, that the voters can directly influence political decisions; in a representative democracy, in contrast, such decisions are reserved for a political elite (in the case of a representative democracy e.g. a parlament); the problem of the latter is, that this "elite" tends to live in their own world during their term of office.

That would really go too far in a commentary, and there are also established sources that can explain this far better than I can. I'm also not used to writing about it in English. I recommend first of all the links mentioned in my other comments.

Usually you batch up a large buffer of rays to be traced anyway, so it's not really a problem to hand this off to another API if need be. This is often the case on CPU too, where you would use something like Embree, but on GPU it'd be Vulkan RT or OptiX (we didn't do this for Indigo Renderer, however).

> Also, how do you deal with food sticking to it? How can you make pancakes or crepes in it, for instance?

I mean... you just do? Pancakes and crepes especially work VERY well in a cast iron pan. You'll know the crepe is done because it'll start sliding around in the pan when shaken.

There's a lot of words out there about how to perfectly season a cast iron pan, but in my experience the best way is to just treat it sort of badly. If you want to be slightly more purposeful about it you can occasionally overheat some oil in the pan. I tend to just bang it back on the hob after cooking and heat the remaining oil/fat in the pan to the smoke point before turning it off.

re: scraping: I think you're overestimating the sort of scraping I mean. I'm not talking about scrubbing with a lot of effort. I just mean you take a metal spatula and scrape some of the burnt stuff into the trash. Doesn't really take any force either.

Yeah it's not quite as effortlessly nonstick as a nonstick pan, but at least I'm not worrying about flaking poison off into my food, and having to be careful with metal utensils. You can treat a cast iron pan badly and it'll make it work better, not worse. The one fragility it has is rust, and even that is largely overstated.

Just got a Daikin heat pump installed this past winter. Electric furnace is still used as a secondary heat source. Will have to compare more data over the last 12 months, but so far, power usage is way down.

I can also integrate home assistant with the Daikin which can control all of the functions and it's also able to retrieve a lot of useful data that you can use for adjusting furnace and heat pump parameters. I can get credit from the power company during peak usage times and I'm able to have home assistant interface with the heat pump to maximize those credits as well. Very happy with the setup so far.

Should skipping the internet for a day result in police wellness check? Given that most people access the internet every day, this seems like a reasonable thing to do.

No. The internet is and always will be optional for me at very least. Some people and some cities have made some things very convenient to the point where some people believe the internet is required but this is false and potentially risky should something cause an extended internet outage. I can see why some see otherwise especially in the EU where some cities have integrated the internet very tightly into peoples lives, never having experienced a disconnection from the internet since they were young. I am curious what would happen if some global event took down the power grid and internet for a few months or years such as a High Altitude Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse attack.

> I cannot say "Alexa open my curtains tomorrow at 6:45am".

Works for me; however I often say the time before the action, so something like: “Alexa, at 8pm turn on the living room lights”, but “Turn the heating off in 15 minutes” also works for me.

It then creates a timer to activate said device/group at the time requested. (Edit: I also use commands like "Alexa, turn on the lighthouse lamp until 11:30pm", which turns on that lamp and sets a timer to turn it off at 11:30pm)

However all my devices are using the native smart home stuff in Alexa and they are exposed to Alexa via home assistant (So dunno if HA is doing some magic sauce to expose the devices in a certain way that allows such voice commands), So your mileage may (and indeed appears to) vary.

Granted sometimes it mistakes my intentions and I need to repeat myself.

I’ve also been able to create routines via voice, I first discovered that when Alexa suggested to me it could create the automation for me after it perform a request.

Another Edit: When saying "At X do Y" Alexa can only do that action if its within the next 24 hours, guessing thats its timer limit. I also tested saying "Alexa, Every day at 6pm turn on living room lights" and it created a routine for that action, I was then able to disable that routine by saying "alexa delete the living room lights routine", however it just disabled it rather than deleting it like I had requested (and checking the transcript in the app it did pick up i said the word delete and not misheard me).
What is stride order?
COP depends on the temperature difference.

A single COP is some yearly average usually but in these measurements it is probably a shorter period.

In europe there is a somewhat more rigorous measure of Seasonal COP (SCOP) where the typical climate (in my case nordic) is taken as a standardized test. So x number of days outside temp 0C, y -5C, z -10C, w +10C etc.

So in case of Air source heat pump if the outside temperature is +10 or +15 you can easily get COP numbers that are 9 or above.

Better technical documentation usually has rated COP for some different outside temperatures or even a graph.
Disagree. Architecture problems are different enough from software bugs that it's worth it to keep them separate words.

So, i have a house in Haliburton Ontario. Historically we drop a cool $3k a year on propane.

Last year we installed a Mitsubishi hyper heat ductless system.

We used zero gas this year. Read it again, zero.

It’s lakefront, very remote, and the largest electricity bill i got was around $450 for a month and then they dropped back to something more like $250. The savings are huge, I’m no longer stressed about running out of gas…and the heat pump performed well beyond its advertised specifications. We had a few -25C days and it was humming hard, but the house stayed a comfortable 20C inside. The house is around 3000sqft and we didn’t even get the largest unit, i can’t stress enough that they actually operate better than advertised.

We would run a fire from time to time but we did that with propane too, it’s mostly ornamental.

The number of variables is not constant in each step so modeling this would be trickier than usual. I feel like there is probably an more efficient DP approach for this though.

> The only examples we have of "intelligence" are organic in nature.

High-abstraction category-words such as "intelligence" are not fundamental properties of nature. They're made by man. Which means we currently happen to define intelligence in a way that we primarily observe in organic objects. So there's some circular reasoning in your argument.
If we look at all the more fundamental building blocks such as information-processing, memory, adaptive algorithms, manipulating environments then we know all of them already are implementable in non-organic systems.

It is not a blind belief decoupled from reality. It is an argument based on the observation that the building-blocks we know about are there and they have not been put together yet due to complexity. There also is the observation that the "putting together" process has been following a trajectory that results in more and more capabilities (chess, go, partial information games, simulated environments, vision, language, art, programming, ...), i.e. there's extrapolation based on things that are already observable. Unless you can point at some lower-level piece that is only available in organic systems. Or why only organic systems should be capable of composing the pieces into a larger whole. I am not aware of any such limiting factor.

Just like "suspending" objects in air was possible and self-propelled machines were possible, even if not self-propelled flight had not yet been done at that time.
And it's not even possible to enable this with Alexa routines, which should work as a "hobbyist/enthusiast" version of skills development, but are in reality extremely limited.

e.g. As a routine writer, you could include a command within a routine to turn on lights at 6am. However, it would be fixed at 6am whenever the routine runs, with no flexibility since there's no concept of variables or voice input available to routines. A more sophisticated platform would offer more flexible commands, i.e. "turn on lights at {voice_input}".
No, I can't say I understand it fully - but if the clock goes backwards, peers will not talk to a client again until I restart the other peers' wireguard services. No matter if the client's clock is subsequently correct.

For some people, all their network access goes over wireguard and that includes time syncing. That's not the case for me, but for those people if wireguard isn't working their clock can't sync.

That GPS receiver looks cool! However an RTC and a battery will do just fine for me, which is the plan.
Haha, that's like committing blasphemy to achieve a holy goal. I wonder what Terry or God would say about this.
