The number one reason to lean heavily on sectioning via \include is for debugging. Debugging Latex is a disaster, and it is only by compartmentalizing code into smaller sections do you have a hope of isolating the problem.

Not that I write Go anymore, but this was definitely one of those things that regularly made my blood boil. Any kind of experimentation/swapping around data structures always invoked the wrath of the compiler when I am just trying to q

Updating dependencies (#2) does seem needlessly painful. I have wondered if I am missing some obvious workflow.

That is amazing. I do not know anything about plants - is this approach generically applicable for all crops or are there limitations on what kinds of weeds are likely to grow in a field? For example: weeds in wheat fields are too visually

If you want to go with the biggest cell, an ostrich egg is some 15cm diameter and 1-2 kgs.

As another hold-out on Jinja, what pushed you over the edge? Half of the appeal to me in Django is that if you follow the easy path, one project should look like another. Breaking conventions for a few template niceties has not seemed worth

I will sign onto this approach as well. Never expanded beyond a `core` app, which may have duplicated modules as the project grows (models_foo, models_bar, views_foo, views_bar, etc). I have never felt that any one component of the project

For realism, would need block off not just the area for construction, but also the up/downstream five miles.

Genuine question - how many engines can run on straight ethanol? Are there any negative consequences for running straight ethanol in an engine expecting gasoline?

Fair, but I am a nobody that is unlikely to be specifically targeted. I am willing to swing the balance towards convenience/backup safety vs utmost security.

Even if it were possible to happen repeatedly wouldn't the prior generation be immediately able to out compete (immediately consume) the nascently developed life?

I think it is reasonable to imagine some manufacturing processes that are single shot construction. Gluing pieces together rather than screws/fasteners comes to mind.

If nothing else, you can spend nearly all of the time working. No "please stow away your large electronic devices" 20+ minutes before takeoff/landing.

Fair question. Noting that I am a Python person who has only tooled around with Rust a bit, a few packages I think warrant inclusion because the base options are too anemic: - Command line parsing (more feature rich the manually iterati

I keep waiting for something like this for Rust. Call it the BatteriesIncluded2022 crate and do an annual release cycle. If it could get a nod from the official Rust maintainers, all the better. Something that is roughly analogous to the Py

Are floating solar panels a thing? My naive assumption is that (most places) land is abundant enough that you can put solar panels everywhere. Dealing with the nature-hates-you-engineering of working with water seems like a method of last r

Similar story for helmets during WW1. Prior to metal helmets, soldiers wore cloth caps. After the soldiers started wearing helmets, the number of head injuries climbed rapidly. The alternative, of course is that the soldier would otherwise

Average aircraft age in the USA is 14+ years. A new passenger jet costs some $100+ million. We cannot even approve unleaded aviation gas, I am unsure a transition to LH2 will be speedy.

Nuts, that is an excellent point. I am failing to find the outflow concentration of salt, but you are correct that the output is likely to be only mildly concentrated (eg 7% salt). For all I know, it take an order of magnitude more energy t

I am not sure that is correct. It is possible that solar panels absorb more total energy and keep it locally than would otherwise be reflected back into space via radiative cooling.

1,000,000 humans require 4,000,000 liters of water daily. Seawater is 3.5% salt (35g/l), giving us 140,000,000g of salt. If we assume NaCl, with a density of 2.17g/cm3, that gives us 64,500,000 cm3 of salt, or 64.5 m3. I am gettin

One idea I have been considering - use SQLite as my JSON parser in Lua. Lua has solid SQLite bindings, but there are several JSON libraries, with varying performance characteristics. If I create a :memory: database, I could shunt JSON in&#x
