> Regarding regulations - the solution is to not ban things. States like California love to use hard bans as solutions to everything but it is better to just incentivize some things and allow choice to still exist.

How would you incentivize using electric tools? Slap a really high tax on gasoline might work; I'm sure all the car owners will understand. /s

> After all, if what you’re prescribing is truly better wouldn’t people naturally choose it?

No, because pollution is a typical collective action problem (or negative externality, if you like to think in terms of economics). When only you use your gas car and chainsaw, in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter. And maybe you do it because for you personally those really are better than the electric alternatives? But when everybody does it, you get smog and climate change.
The Bay doesn't have a homogenous population, you just don't know any locals.

I mean, obviously it depends on what city you choose, but given that the article is specifically about X moving to Palo Alto....

San Francisco is $957/sqft median listing price [1]

Palo Alto is $1800/sqft median listing price. [2]

Hell, I live in Redwood City and the median is $996/sqft.

Did you read the comments (on the article)? A person said they bought an electric stihl and it sucks.
I have one of these and they are great ... and heavy. The cord is also annoying.

Picking up and putting down a tool is a lot more work with a backpack and a cord. If you go around doing a ton of one kind of work (eg: weed whacking, blowing, sweeping) then it's fine. If you are pruning a tree and have to go between throwing branches and cutting them, it's annoying to manage the cord. Also, climbing hills with a heavy backpack isn't wonderful. Anywhere with slightly unsteady footing is made worse with a giant lithium ion battery strapped to your back.

As for the power/speed of cutting with the electric combi-polesaw... it's pretty great. I've had one for just over 5 years and the most maintenance I've had to do is replace chains and add bar oil. No carb tuning/cleaning. No worries about extended periods of inactivity. No two-stroke oil to mix into hard-to-find non-ethanol gasoline.

Overall, I love the thing but don't get the idea that it's a 1:1 replacement.
Aussie here. I hadn't heard that price scraping is only quasi-legal here and that scrapers get shut down by the big supermarkets - but then again I'm not surprised.

I'm thinking of starting a little price comparison site, mainly to compare select products at Colesworths vs Aldi (I've just started doing more regular grocery shopping at Aldi myself). But as far as I know, Aldi don't have any prices / catalogues online, so my plan is to just manually enter the data myself in the short-term, and to appeal to crowdsourcing the data in the long-term. And plan is to just make it a simple SSG site (e.g. Hugo powered), data all in simple markdown / json files, data all sourced via github pull requests.

I don't think the user you replied to didn't think about it at all. They thought about, and found strange, the fact that cutting grass was the thing someone loved _the most_.

It's sad to see the user be downvoted to oblivion and dismissed completely, especially if the guidelines forbid this. No arguments, just "you're wrong".
Depends how you cut .. I've got a rural background and when I cut for firewood it's pretty much continuous; from dropping a tree to stripping back limbs, to propping and dropping rounds.

If I'm there to bring in wood it's generally a two person job, one to cut another to position and stack and once the chainsaw starts it's on and cutting until the tank runs dry with fairly minimal idling time.

There's a lot more idle time when cleaning up firebreaks, it's moving from tree to tree and often the branches that need clearing require a ladder or standing on a cab roof or in a hiab bucket to reach.

Quite a biased Wikipedia article. If you read the sources, you can read quotes from the officers themselves, who openly discuss their tattoos, but say they are being misinterpreted as rogue law enforcement groups when they are just particular stations bonding together and displaying their pride.

> [the officer] bristled at the idea of calling the groups “deputy gangs” ... state penal code uses the term “gangs” to describe rogue law enforcement groups. Repeatedly, Murakami insisted that the tattoos symbolize hard work and “station pride” and that there was “no nefarious connotation” to having deputy subgroups operate inside the department.

Obviously law enforcement isn't perfect, but we should show both sides of the issue, and this wikipedia article is selecting only one side from already-biased articles.

The result is to dilute the term "gang." We have actual gangs to deal with, like MS13, which literally worships satan and seeks out and kills babies when "the beast" demands it. E.g. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/ms-13-gang-members-accused-...

That's a far cry from sherrifs with tattoos.

That's when you use skills of management and what you're being paid for.

Not packing stuff back to back without important but non time critical padding's not always an option.

Solutions will depend on your context. I agree pushing back time isn't a valid option, it's not a work culture I believe in.

How about: Using post interview time that should be saved for reflection after the interview §. Trust a colleague to do it or at least start. Make time before you need time by managing it throughout the process.

Or many more options depending on context. Perhaps you're both on flights leaving from the same airport?

§ 'Reflection time' being so important but so often missed. Planning stuff without reflection time is to leadership what assuming the critical path will always be achieved is to project management. Both destined to achieve failure.

I'm not sure what you are arguing here: that low performance teams do not exist, or that they do not need to be managed, or that we should provide free educational resources to their managers instead of selling them the tools they want?

Relocating wasn't such a big deal when most family models were single income and women were basically all slaves and would follow their husband without having any say on the matter. These day, any relocation involve a discussion between 2 parties on the merit of relocating and possibility of career development for both. It is much more difficult.
Had EP-133 KO II. Very frustrating. First time, I had an inspiration for a beat so I grabbed it and after an hour of learning curve I realized basically anything I wanted to do I couldn't. Limited time signatures didn't let me record the beat I wanted in the first place. Then it turned out only one fx can be used at a time (want delay and reverb? nope. want delay on the synth and reverb on the beat? nope again), you cannot actually save projects, cannot tune notes etc.

Even for using it just as a fancy overpriced MIDI input, velocities from pads were way too unpredictable compared to a cheap korg nanosomething.

Ten years ago I was experimenting with TimeSnapper Classic, a free utility for Windows that takes a screenshot every 5 seconds. The neat feature is it lets you view a timelapse of your day.

The screenshots were taking up a lot of disk space. I noticed that very little changed between pictures, so I started thinking of an algorithm that would make use of this characteristic: store only the changes between subsequent images. A few minutes in, I realized I was reinventing video compression!

So, I just used ffmpeg to turn the image sequence into a mp4. It was something like 95% reduction in file size. (I think I used ImageMagick to embed the timestamp filename into the images themselves, thus recreating basically all the features of TimeSnapper Classic with 2 commands.)
Comments go out of date because of bad developers.

The same people who do the bare minimum for tests not to explode. But won’t add a new test case for the new branches they just introduced.

The same people who will mangle the code base introducing bizarre dependencies or copy paste the same piece of code rather than refactor.

People who fail to handle errors correctly. My favorite: by wrapping code in a if statement without an else. (else? Get a weird error without logs! Miles away from the call site!)

People who don’t validate inputs.

People who don’t give a monkey about adding context to errors making the thing impossible to debug in prod when they explode.

People who are too lazy or in incompetent to do their job properly and will always jump at the opportunity to save 5 minutes now but waste 5 hours of everybody else’s time later. Because of course these people can’t fix their own bugs!

And of course these are the people who make comments go out of date. I’ve seen them implement a thing literally the line below a TODO or FIXME comment and not delete the line.

Comments going out of date is a shit excuse for not writing comments as far as I’m concerned.

The fact that some people are incompetent should not drive engineering decisions. You should always assume a minimal level of competency.

I have a relative who holds the view that time is illusory, especially when hen is under the effect of some toxin.

I ask hen: when did you figure this out?

The answer inevitably starts with a story that happened many years ago and I point out that if time were illusory then there is no appropriate way to answer the question.

Because hen is drunk or stoned, I get to do this multiple times. It's not the time is illusory, it's that hen doesn't remember.
Slightly related to this is a software called OpenCore Legacy Patcher [1]. It allows people to install newer macOS versions on older hardware. I don't know if the firmware updates are included though, maybe they aren't.

If you wanna be ultra cheap and your subject is a still scene you can literally just use any camera like your smartphone and take two pics side by side in short succession, distanced apart by your human IPD (Inter-Pupillary Distance.)

Did you know your index finger is roughly 1 IPD from nail to knuckle? This is useful:

Hold your phone sideways, look where your lens is in the horizontal axis and align your left index finger's knuckle such that you're holding the phone edge with it but your knuckle is lined up just above the lens... Snap a pic. (This will be your left eye pic.) — Now keep your left index straight as-is and with your right hand gently grip your phone and slide it horizontally such that the lens previously lined up above your knuckle is now aligned just below the tip of your left index finger nail. Now snap another pic. (This is your right eye pic.)

Now put them in a collage side by side in Photoshop or whatever, and make it small and cross your eyes. If you kept your alignment fairly you should now have a respectable 3D photo.

Voila! 3D photos on the cheap, as long as your subjects stand still between the two pics.

I have two electric chainsaws, the DeWalt 20V 12" and the DeWalt 60V 16"

I love them both. If I don't have to cut down actual trees, the 12" is great for cutting limbs, firewood, whatever, and takes the same batteries as my fan and my drill and my circular saw and my reciprocating saw and all my other tools.

The 16" does work the 12" just can't. And the extra power makes a big difference. But it overheats fast. Strongly recommend 2-3 batteries, not just for duration of function, but continuity of function. It's kind of a pain. Maybe it's better up north when it's less common to be 90° in the summer?

That's all by long way of saying, I love them, but there are downsides in terms of raw power and robust on-demand serviceability. Gas-powered chainsaws are just objectively better.
> I don't understand how the author wants to pronounce it. "ag-ay"?

More or less. In the technical specifics, the English FACE vowel is a diphthong ending at a pretty high point ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vowel#Height ), whereas the indicated pronunciation is a monophthong that should be a bit lower.

You might think of the English vowels in FACE / PRICE / CHOICE / GOAT / MOUTH as being "closed off" by a rapid upward tongue movement towards the end of their pronunciation; what the author is asking for here is a version of "FACE" that doesn't have that closure. Or, alternatively, a version of DRESS [which is already a monophthong] that uses a bit higher of a tongue position.
It depends if that 3rd party provider is mandatory or not or if you have the option of having local auth / your own keycloak server, whatever.

I have a full (not 'mini' version) electric chainsaw from Makita and it goes through trees just fine. Makes very little noise and only when you are using it. Easy to control. It has additionally proven handy for chasing off miscreants. Would buy again.

Also heavily recommend the higher end Makita electric blowers. Don't go cheap. You save 10dB with the best ones.

The argument that batteries are no good for power tools is bullshit. If you are a professional gardener who is too cheap to pay for some extra batteries, charge $5 extra per hour for 'silent service'. The neighbours will love you.

The "good and lasting support" part is the most important IMHO. Nothing is more annoying than having to switch to another library because the one you are currently using goes unmaintained. This can happen in the "stdlib" too (e.g. PHP deprecating the mcrypt library), but it happens much less often, and typically with much more time to prepare. Also important is that, when there is a "standard" stdlib package, other dependencies you might use will probably use that - having two dependencies that use different packages for doing the same thing is also annoying.

Is there a tablet out there which runs Debian or Ubuntu?

I don't mean it has to come with Linux in the first place. I can wipe Windows or whatever it comes with and install Debian myself.

When I google around, I see people use some tablets with Linux based on special kernels they download from somewhere around the web. I would not want that. But a standard Debian or Ubuntu on a tablet would be great.
Those kernel mode drivers operated in a way that would not bring down the entire system if they crashed

You also aren't safe from misunderstanding what it is that you've proven about the program.
