I'm replying to my own post with new info.

Actually, there's another way to do it. It's what I am doing, I just didn't realise it until now. :)

Reserve a room in your house for your own computer history museum. Use old systems, running old software, doing old tasks that you learned years ago. Never update, never upgrade. Each time you need something new and it doesn't work anymore on the systems that you have, buy another new system and add it to your collection. Keep using it for that task and newer, while continuing to use the old systems for the old tasks. Virtual machines work too.

This just sounds like a semantic disagreement. I believe the evidence base presented in the paper is a pretty fair representation of the field, and justifies the authors’ statement:

> the totality of the evidence supports the recommendation to limit SFA intake to <10% TDE for the general healthy population

I would call this pretty good evidence. Perhaps you wouldn’t but, as I say, that’s probably just a semantic disagreement.

I was diagnosed with bilateral cubital tunnel syndrome. It may have been slightly related to lifting in that while lifting didn't cause it, it may have made it more apparent. My surgeon told me that based on what she saw it may just have been to me being unfortunate in how my elbows were constructed.

At first I had to stop lifting altogether and rest hoping it would go away because it was getting really bad to the point I could not work (type) for more than 5 minutes at a time without my hands/forearms going numb and holding anything in my hands. It got so bad that even just lifting up a cup to drink from or using utensils for more than a minute or so caused a lot of pain.

After 3 months of physical therapy and limiting usage of my arms altogether it hadn't gotten any better so I was told the only remedy was surgery. It started with one of my hands/forearms suddenly starting to go numb one day while working, and about a week later started in the other hand. I was told its fairly rare to occur in both sides except in cases of it being a genetic issue so I think I was just unlucky.

So I had surgery on one side and then waited until that side mostly recovered in terms of pain and had the other side done.

Technically my hands do still sometimes get a bit of numbness/tingling but I was told by my surgeon and from research that its fairly common for people who get surgery for this to still have occasional mild numbness for even years, or basically forever after surgery since nerves heal super slow. But it is so much more bearable than it was to prior.
Thanks for the kind words! Happy to know that there are people out there who find this stuff just as interesting as I do.

Yeah, planning on doing that today.
there is absolutely a reason to kill your chickens that aren't laying - it costs money to feed them. if you don't optimize for price by slaughtering your older hens you will easily be paying > $10 a dozen for eggs.

all bets are off though if you consider chickens pets, instead of livestock.

basic economics for me: 20 chickens, a dozen eggs a day, 30 dozen eggs a month. decent non-organic feed is $20 a bag, organic is $35 a bag. one bag per week if you have the space to do daily free ranging on a decent sized chunk (half acre chicken yard in my case). Round up $0.50 per dozen for incidentals (bedding, repair, replacement chickens semi-regularly due to predation). That's $3 a dozen for non-organic, $5 a dozen for organic.

Drop productivity in half, organic eggs start costing $10 a dozen, and you have to work for those eggs. Cut productivity to 25% and you are even more expensive. In my experience, you are at 50% productivity within 3 years depending on the breed.

Also slaughtered old hens make good soups :)

> It's the latest study to find that taller vehicles are more dangerous for pedestrians. The majority of vehicles sold in the U.S. are now SUVs and light trucks, which can have front ends that are often 40 inches or taller.

The idea behind DEI is as if a car crashes into another car because of an issue with the road, that leads to one car being more damaged than the other, the solution is to make sure the less damaged car has the same amount of damage, rather than fixing the road.

> Does the US constitution have an emergency decree mechanism whereby the president can effectively assume full power and suspend civil rights?

It could well be in the offing: Egged on by Musk, Miller, etc. — and putting his people in position to give orders to the folks with badges and guns — Trump is seeing what he can get away with by way of executive orders. He's getting zero pushback from the governing GOP majority in Congress nor from any of his cabinet. That's Trump's long-established M.O.: Test the boundaries and guardrails, then go charging through the identified weak spots.

> Are the republican party committing acts of violence against their opposition, so as to push them out of Congress and establish a supermajority?

Pretty close: You might not have seen the news reports of GOP senators and representatives who've said privately that they oppose what Trump has been doing but they're afraid to cross him, out of fear of personal danger to themselves and their families from lunatic MAGA thugs who fancy themselves to be Trump's warriors — e.g., the January 6 rioters whom Trump whipped into a frenzy and then sent charging off to the Capitol.

(GOP senators' fear of personal danger reportedly was also part of the reason there weren't enough GOP Senate votes to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial, where conviction would have disqualified him from any office.)

Why did forums emerge ... like HN or Reddit.

Lots of technologies/platforms accomplish the same end goal. It's more about where have people gathered (network effects) and valuable information shared.

(Not many people are on IRC these days, and as a result - less valuable information can be found there)

They offer a pre-build docker environment, so you can play around with the RTL simulation via
"docker run --name t1 -it -v $PWD:/workspace --rm ghcr.io/chipsalliance/t1-blastoise:latest /bin/bash"

At least in theory, but there might still be a few bugs.

WebChat + IRC server works just fine, only requires a browser for somebody to drive-by use, and allows more serious/heavy users to use whatever client they want. Install a logging package on the IRC server to make logs available publicly and searchable (or you can just have a bot user that does this if you're using an IRC server that someone else is hosting).

This was the norm in the late-90s through about 2010 and then suddenly it wasn't good enough.

The technological advancements are impressive. With the imminence of "peak population", hopefully unsustainable resource consumption will all hit their peaks.

> "Let’s break down what it takes to create just one course – say, an introductory course on core pre-algebra concepts:

- 50+ core concepts to teach
- 20+ problems per concept
- → ~1,000+ individual problems per course

That last number kept us up at night. You can’t just explain a concept once and move on. You need enough variations to let learners truly master each idea, enough edge cases to build real understanding, and enough of a ramp in difficulty to create that perfect learning curve.

Designing the right game and sequence of concepts, so that learning feels like flow, is the fun part. But then you need to make a thousand carefully calibrated problems. And that part is a lot less fun – and it takes a long time."

This seems like a practical and appropriate use of LLMs. It reminds me of a similar application I heard about recently from a friend who teaches language classes using ChatGPT or equivalent to generate dozens of example sentences to teach specific grammar rules.

> Typical LFP batteries that are widely used

It depends on the use case. I believe LCO batteries are still more widely used since they are popular in small electronic devices rather than electric vehicles. These do not achieve the thousands of cycles you mention.

In general I don't like articles that simply talk about specs of Li-ion batteries as a whole without specifying the exact chemistry. Apple has different incentives when they choose a battery as compared to say Ford.

I'd argue with that. Small-scale "micro-refactoring" operations are safe almost by definition. [1]

It depends on your language. In a large Python system [2], all bets are off, but in Java if you use your IDE to rename a method to have a clearer name or change the signature of a method or extract or inline a method the risk of breaking anything is close to zero whether or not you have tests.

Personally I think there is no conflict between feature work and micro-refactorings. If micro-refactorings are helpful for a feature you're working on, jump to it!

Personally I've had the experience of being a Cassandra [3] when it comes to YAGNI; [4] maybe it is different for a junior dev but so often I go to a meeting and say "what if you decide you need to collect N phone numbers instead of 2?" and over the next few months there is a stream of tickets for 3, 4, 5 phone numbers until they finally make it N. Or a problem w/ the login process that is obvious to me becomes the subject of a panic two months later.

As such I see the rule of three [5] to apply DRY is too conservative, it is way two common that the senior dev wrote two cases and then the junior dev comes in and copies it 15 times. At least on the projects I've worked on (mainly web-oriented, but many involving 'intelligent systems', data science, etc.) people have made way too many excuses for why repeating themselves is good and it has had awful consequences.

I built my own RO system it cost around $1500 including a water softener. There are some ongoing supplies every year, maybe $200 or less.

I don't have any links I just figured it out, but it's not super complicated. I made it out of undersink RO membrane housings (housings from those little RO systems you can buy for around $300 that do a couple of gallons a day). The membranes have pressure pumps in front of them that get it up to a couple hundred gallons RO water total a day.

Basic steps are 1) Soften the water, 2) Pass it through very tight filters (like 1 micron), I also carbon filter for organic contaminants, 3) Booster pumps put water through osmosis membranes and from there into a storage tank.

I just used plastic totes with gravel in the bottom to house the membranes and booster pumps.

I should write up a blog post on it one day because professionally installed osmosis can be expensive.

They'd better get on the IntelliJ integration fast—
if I'm going to switch editors in order to use an LLM coding assistant, I may as well just switch to Cursor, which has a strong head start on them on the assistant and also has a much better autocomplete.

Anyone can wrap a chatbot in some UI that allows you to avoid pasting by hand, but Cursor's ability to guess my next move—even several lines away—makes it far and away more efficient than alternatives.
