It's funny you ask this - i have spent a time building pdf indexing/search apps on the side over the past few weeks. I'll give you the rundown. The answer to your specific question is basically "some of them process lett

Having criticized a lot of her tenure (and still do!), Lina's problem was never whether she was right or not. It's that she was incredibly ineffective. Of course she was right. That's what made her practical ineffectiveness s

Gemini-in-sheets is the same way i asked it to make a sheet look nicer and it couldn't without me explicitly telling it what i wanted done. When i told it to do certain things, it's like "that's not implemented yet, stay

Retention orders of this kind are not uncommon and the judge has not ordered it be turned over to anyone until they hear arguments on it. I note with amazement that tons of hn users with zero legal experience, let alone judge experience, ar

I lived in DC for years, so i've had this discussion probably 8000 times already. Time for 8001 i guess. Let's separate waste and corruption - they are fairly different things. Let's then split waste into: 1. Programs <som

The author is far enough into apple fanboy conspiracies that they will probably next claim the reality distortion field didn't die because Jobs never died.

"Apple's pattern has always been to enter markets later but with more refined, integrated solutions." Err, no it isn't. It would be more accurate to state "the only thing that apple has recently been successful at

No, you see, Apple has spent untold billions of dollars chasing AI as a feint. Them repeatedly apologizing and telling investors they are working as fast as they can is all lies. They have everyone just where they want them, and are poise

(just a note, it's Léo not Leo). I think this is fair read, but to be also fair, it's easy to criticize Léo - the SAP board had literally fired him 6 months before HP decided he would be a great fit!
283.
by DannyBee 1y ago
Oh, it's worse in some ways - Leo didn't leave SAP to take this job. Instead, SAP's board chose not to renew his contract in Feb, 2010, so he resigned. SAP board; This guy sucks let's move on HP: we'll take him!

Again - Nothing in any of this says anything about the equations being different for green wood. I don't even know what you are arguing and why - it seems to change with every post. So I give up - you still haven't actually shown

It depends on how vapor permeable they are. Some of them are good at resisting liquid water but not vapor, and some are good at resisting both. But all things being equal, yes, they generally can only help keep moisture content more steady

by DannyBee 1y ago
You missed my point, which is that initial drying is absolutely 100% not different than any other time. Wood, especially outdoor projects like the person is making, will definitely see states where the moisture content is as high, if not h

I can't tell where their data comes from, and they don't cite it. The 10% number was not meant to be real, i just was giving an example :) Real is much harder. 4% is not a horrible guess from as best i can calculate (but see below

by DannyBee 1y ago
"Initial shrinkage is larger when drying from green wood" ? It's not - it's exactly the same as anything else. The wood doesn't know it's green. The calculator you gave is shortcutting it, and has an entire art

by DannyBee 1y ago
See my other comment - they are closer than you think in some sense, but there are too many missing variables to say anyone is right or wrong. The annual movement of wood depends (basically) on the local RH swing, thickness, absorption&#x2F

Serious woodworker here: They aren't off by that much. You are further off if you assume some standard parameter ranges :) But in the end, it depends on factors i didn't see listed. Overall, the percents are usually calculated by

Sure, but what is happening here is basically the equivalent of us engineering current-vaccine resistant viruses, along with new vaccines, and releasing them all together, so that people know vaccines are important and are forced to get new

Yes. They went further and explicitly make the distinction between the kind of privacy we are talking about here ("right to shield information from disclosure"), and the kind they saw as protected in griswold, lawrence, and roe (&

Roe v. wade is considered explicitly overruled, as well as considered wrongly decided in the first place, as of 2022 (Dobbs). They also explicitly stated a constitutional right to privacy does not exist, and pointed out that Casey abandoned

Sure, and that works in the abstract (ie "what investment would theoretically have made the most sense") but if you are trying to compare in the real world you have to be careful because it assumes the alternative would have ever

Lawyer here First - in the US, privacy is not a constitutional right. It should be, but it's not. You are protected against government searches, but that's about it. You can claim it's a core human right or whatever, but t

I don't think this is true, and honestly, I think it would be a mistake to consider it - they can't serve everyone, down that path is madness. FWIW - I even have a JSON parser in my RTOS-that-must-run-in-less-than-512k. I also thi
