Doing this every day is a problem.

Doing it 1-2 days/week is the difference between being able to get some focus time to deliver something of value, and just being an internal search engine.

My job has lots and lots of calls. I am happy to leave most of my calendar open. But most mornings, and at least one full day every 2 weeks is mine, and no, you can't have it, you're not entitled to it, it's important to me I have that time to actually do focus work.
Thanks! Looks very interesting and usefull.

If you have a business called "666 Flowers and Cakes" then a lot of Christians won't go there, and some might confront you about it. This isn't demanding or controlling thought, it's just freedom of association.

Nobody's forcing FreeBSD to do anything, but I'm pointing out the logo is at odds with their code of conduct.

The woman in story also seemed to go further and make claims about abuse, which is obviously nonsense and goes too far.

But no, you're not going to be welcoming to religious people by branding with things associated with evil in that religion.

Splitting a team by interesting/uninteresting work is a comically bad idea. It's puzzling that it ever gets pitched, let alone adopted.

Edit: I mean an ongoing split, not a rotation
Most of that stuff can actually be done in compiled managed languages, and people reach out to C++ because of bias against anything with automatic resource management, even if C++ like features are part of the package.
Yeah. I'd argue you should quit if you as dev have no say in the development, but what do I know
That is great. How do you even handle the daily divergence that must happen due to micro decisions made by various APIs. For example I wont mention their name but one OpenAI compatiable provider doesn't fully work with OpenAI client and had various holes so you need to account for that. The other hard thing is just the fast pace of AI. What if the underlying concepts change!

Well done!
Fast internet increases the percentage of the country that's desirable to live in, which is an incentive for people to move there and demand new housing be built.

The more desirable small towns and rural places are, the less of a housing crunch there is. A lot of housing supply issues are due to rapid urbanization over the last few decades.

Big cities have skyrocketing housing prices while some small towns are literally paying people to move there.
It would, but depending on the dictionary there might not be much, if any, context about the game.

You could get a simple “Concker(n), colloquial name for the seeds of the horse chestnut tree” or “Conckers(n), traditional game played mainly in the British Isles with seeds of the horse chestnut tree” – a concise definition of the what without any detail of the game or its cultural significance (it was a big thing for a short time each year back when I was of school age, and had been for generations).

“when I was very young and read the Hitchhikers Guide for the first time” suggests this was quite some time ago, so further lookups might have required a physical trip to a library, rather than just clicking a link or throwing a term at an online search engine.
Playing conkers at 23 years of age is a bit wrong. It is a bit like building LEGO kits as an adult, particularly wrong if the goal is to just build the design on the box and put the completed model on a shelf, rather than build your own creative masterpiece.

Please resist the urge to mod me down in flames for the above, but, in former times, buying LEGO at the ripe old age of fourteen would be a bit shameful in the school playground. Adults did not play LEGO then, it was the role of the father to read the newspaper and the role of the mother to be 'chained to the sink' in those days, with LEGO just for small children.

Conkers was very much for younger children, once an interest in the opposite sex, playing cards for match sticks or general juvenile delinquency was established, conkers was 'grown out of'.

Much like how fathers could teach their sons to beat up bullies, so it was that fathers could help with the technical aspects of conkers, such as getting the hand drill out (remember those contraptions, before battery power tools).

Conkers was a rite of passage, something that you would be expected to grow out of. It also came with a season, i.e. autumn, and the etiquette was to pick on someone of your own size. Hence, someone playing conkers at the age of 23 has not really got it right.

As for the guy with the steel conker, again we have a problem of age.

Now, as for playing with LEGO as an adult, or playing conkers as an adult, or, for that matter, the retro 8-bit computer scene, this is about regressing from the adult world of today, with all of its problems, and hiding in a recreated childhood. This is sort of understandable for people that were sent off to war, to see things they did not need to see. Those people kind of need the therapy that a return to the child world provides.

But nowadays, I see it as a response to the atomisation of community. If you are not spending your weekends with friends at pubs or at dinner parties, if you don't have an adult hobby such as with a lathe in a shed, if you can't afford big toys such as a boat, then childhood hobbies are a safe space to return to. Apart from anything else, you can buy all the LEGO that you could not buy then. Or, with conkers, you can find a social scene of like minded individuals and get a bit more scientific about winning.
I haven't lost an eye to a conker, but I did laugh.

I don't know, but I reckon he would have been unimpressed.
Precisely, but I think the feeling of knowing may be defined differently for the person having the feeling and from the viewpoint of others.

A flat-earther may feel they "know" the earth is flat. I feel that i "know" that their feeling isn't "true" knowledge.

This is the simple case where we all (in this forum, or at least I hope so) agree. If we consider controversial beliefs, such as the existence of God, where Covid-19 originated or whether we have free will, people will often still feel they "know" the answer.

In other words, the experience of "knowinging" is not only personal, but also interpersonal, and often a source of conflicts. Which may be why people fight over the defintion.

In reality, there are very few things (if any) that can be "known" with absolute certainty. Anyone who has studied modern Physics would "know" that our intuition is a very poor guide to fundamental knowledge.

The scientific method may be better in some ways, but even that can be compromized. Also, it's not really useful for people outside the specific scientific field. For most people, scientific findings are only "known" second hard from seeing the scientists as authorities.

A bigger problem, though, is that a lot of people are misusing the label "scientific" to justify beliefs or propaganda that has only weak (if any) support from the use of hard science.

In the end, I don't think the word "knowledge" has any fundamental correspondence to something essential.

Instead, I see the ability to "know" something as a characteristic of the human brain. It's an ability that causes the brain to lock onto one belief and disregard all others. It appears to be tendency we all have, which means it's probably evolved by evolution due to providing some evolutionary advantage.

The types of "knowledge" that we feel we "know", to the extend that we learn them from others, seem to evolve in parallel to this as memes/memeplexes (using Dawkin's original use of "meme").

Such memes spread in part virously by pure replication. But if they convey advantages to the hosts they may spread more effectively.

For example, after Galilei/Newton, Physics provided several types of competitive advantage to those who saw it as "knowledge". Some economic, some military (like calculating artillery trajectories). This was especially the case in a politically and religously fragmented Europe.

The memeplex of "Science" seems to have grown out of that. Not so much because it produces absolute truths, but more because those who adopted a belief in science could reap benefits from it that allowed them to dominate their neighbours.

In other areas, religious/cultural beliefs (also seen as "knowledge" by te believers) seem to have granted similar power to the believers.

And it seems to me that this is starting to become the case again, especially in areas of the world where the government provides a welfare state to all that prevent scientific knowledge to grant a differential survival/reproductive advantage to those who still base their knowledge on Science.

If so, Western culture may be heading for another Dark Age....
Create visual app specifications, with words
AppFlows is a privacy-first online tool that helps you scope, estimate and visualise app ideas as fast as you can type.

I made AppFlows to help our clients here at Pocketworks. Most app ideas start with boring spreadsheets, and I craved a visual way to scope, estimate and explore ideas without getting bogged down in visual design.

It's a bit rough n' ready, but any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

It's a childhood story dressed up in sci-fi. If an American child had told it, they might have said they demanded baseball cards, and the amused captain would have given them food, booze and "lots of baseball cards, of course". Children all over the world occasionally make demands of adults and are thrilled when the adults oblige them; their bold dare paid off! Children make up games at school, so when all the chestnuts fall off the trees, children make a game from the mass availability of chestnuts.

It's a British story - it's ostensibly space opera, but really it's more a space-themed Radio 4 comedy. It's British by default. Hence bypasses, council planning departments, stubborn bureaucrats, substances almost entirely unlike tea, solving problems by going to the pub, moaning about the weather, cricket stoppages, getting drunk, implacably morose people, smugly insincere corporate drones, being annoyed at overly flashy Amer... people like Zaphod, and so on. And conkers, of course.

It reminds me of the Twitter thread by an American who had never heard of boarding schools asking "what did you think in Harry Potter was magical but it turned out just to be British?" [to which someone said "Scotland" :(]
The point is that "people whose job content is" should just get a regular job, where they actually contribute something valuable to society. All these "news" websites that are 90% ads can just die, to make room for valuable sites in the search results.

I played conkers in the 80s, everybody in the school did. People had tricks like coating their conkers in gloss etc. but it was still a widespread game.
Played football and British bulldog type stuff too but conkers came in season for a bit every year.
The amount the govt gives an employer is a specific amount… negotiated between that agency and that employer, which may or may not be related to (via competitive bid) what any other contractor gets paid.

Anduril, I assume, charges the government the 2x or whatever it pays for its labor. And the government pays because Anduril has convinced them they have something no other contractor can provide.

Yes, that shit study which models supplying the entire grid with one energy source and lithium storage through all weather conditions.

I would suggest reading the study I linked so you can see the difference in methodology when credible researches in the field tackle similar questions.

The credible studies are focused on simulating the energy system and market with real world constraints. Which apparently works out way cheaper when not involving nuclear in the picture.

> https://liftoff.energy.gov/advanced-nuclear/

That entire report is an exercise in selectively choosing data to misrepresent renewables and present nuclear power in the best possible light and wishful thinking.

To the degree that the prominent "renewables vs. nuclear" graph they keep repeating on the webpage and figure 6 in the report is straight up misleading.

This is the source:

What is different about different net-zero carbon electricity systems?

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266627872...

Utilizing storage costs from 2018 and then of course making the comparison against the model not incorporating any hydrogen derived zero carbon fuel to solve seasonal problems.

Which is todays suggestion for solving the final 1-2% requiring seasonal storage in the late 2030s.

Something akin to todays peaker plants financed on capacity because they run too little to be economical on their own, but zero carbon.

Would they have chosen the ReBF model the difference between made up optimal nuclear power and 2018 renewables would be: $80-94/MWh and $82-102/MWh.

It is essentially: Nukebros writes reports for nukebros, they confirm their own bias. Simply an attempt to justify another massive round of government subsidies on nuclear power.
At n=1, you could try politely asking a customer how they feel about Duke University using "Blue Devils" as the name of their athletic teams, and adopting that name back when Duke itself was still named Trinity College. Do they avoid businesses with managers who graduated from Duke's business school, or churches with ministers who graduated from Duke's divinity school? Then there are all the American military squadrons and divisions and such which have nicknamed themselves the Red Devils...

More soberly and at scale, one of the boring functions of real business managers is making sure that organization and product names, images, etc. are as inoffensive as possible to as many people as possible.

Back in the '90's, when I first saw the Beastie and Tux mascots, my reaction was "one of these OS's wants to be used on 1% of computers, and the other wants to be used on 99% of computers".
I have fond memories of playing conkers in primary school. Sometimes you got a rapped knuckle but children's sports is full of cuts and grazes, and it didn't hurt as much as slaps anyway. The main issue was that some kids would inevitably harden their conkers by putting them in the oven or lacquering them, and so on. But spotting that was part of the charm.
> soldering skills

It's...not that hard. Unless we're dealing with SMDs, soldering takes about a weekend to learn correctly. Most DIY kits involve through-hole components that you can master after you take a cheap iron to a couple dozen header pins or something equally banal. SMDs, on the other hand, take a bit more finesse, but can be achieved with a wee bit of time and patience.

I work in industrial controls and it blows my mind how many people in the field are terrified of soldering, even something as simple as tinning wires so the crimps fit a bit better, let alone the amount of "DIYers" I meet that don't even own an iron. Y'all are holding yourself back by not learning this easy-to-grasp skill.
It's a sign of the modern times. Something being different than what Main Characters are used to are always bad and should be changed.

Have they considered changing the way they do things? No.

The world must change to the way they think is best.
The article doesn't say or suggest that. It says it applies to engineers.
> Nothing that happens in the future can negate the fact that he promised autonomous driving would available in Telsas by now (actually long before now), and it isn't.

Absolutely, he is well known for setting extremely optimistic stretch goal timelines, and is almost always late. In virtually every case he is still years or decades before the competition, with autonomous driving being the biggest miss to date.

He certainly does deliver though.

Given that Tesla are currently making 2 million cars per year and have 5 million on the road, I think it extremely likely they will have by far the biggest autonomous fleet.

I don’t think there’s a lot of overlap between the people who’d be willing/interested/able in running a BSD and those who think a drawing of their mascot means devil worshiping. If anything, it’s probably an effective (albeit unintentional) filter.
My site is http-only because I prefer to not be dependent on those certificate authorities handing out certs, because it's been that way for 25 years, because there is zero confidential data on it, and because the issues concerning snooping and ad insertion by intermediates is not a real threat to my limited readership.

However, there is the https-only movement to prevent web browsers from viewing my website, because it it not https and therefore not 'safe'.

This movement overlaps pretty well with the people who don't accept other different certificate authorities.
In Mytens' painting, it's not even clear who is giving and who is receiving the wreath.

> On this canvas, now part of the Royal Collection, the King is being passed a laurel wreath by his wife, as ‘a symbol of their union and a public statement of tenderness and intimacy.’

I've never heard of the laurel wreath as a symbol of tenderness and intimacy. In Ancient Greece, they were a symbol of skill in athletics or poetry; in Ancient Rome, they were a symbol of victory on the field of battle.

Instead of trying to change the mascot, why not add a little "what is this?" button next to it, which when clicked explains that it is a mascot, not some devil's worship.

Also, somehow I got the feeling that this hotel wasn't seriously going to lose business over the mascot. A 'long term guest' that is offended by something as innocent as a picture sure sounds to me like someone just trying get out of some obligation.

Why Do Hotels Have Bibles?: A Tradition in Hospitality
An alternative mascot that no human could conceivably find offensive? No.

I think we have to make a judgement call here: is there any kind of meaningful threshold we could agree upon, e.g. if 50%+1 people find a logo offensive, it has to get replaced? Or do we just ignore the crazies and get on with making the world a better place?
Being of a geeky bent, I tried them all. It never worked. They go brittle and shatter, or they go soft and fall apart.

(When I was a kid, conkers were so prized we chucked sticks at them to try to get them to drop. So it was a bit of a shock to me when they started just being left where they fell. Kids today, off my lawn, uphill both ways, etc etc).
People drive all the time in snowstorms around here in Sweden and Norway, lower speeds but outside of a major blizzard with zero-visibility people still drive and reasonably safely.

I used to drive through torrential storms in Brazil, where the highest level of the wipers was barely enough to keep water out of the windshield, never had an issue when keeping safe speeds either (even though Brazilian traffic is murderous).
