I can't speak for other countries, but here (Switzerland) insulation is primarily mineral wool or else it must be fireproof

Get an Eiermann 2 tubular steel base. It is (slightly) adjustable, it can support very large boards and they also offer a cable tray to hang on the frame

They are just terribly inefficient. Now a lot are sold here, but it's just not a feasible solution to make living in summer more tolerable. A mini split or even better centralised AC for the entire building is much more efficient
124.
by bafe 3y ago
It seems you are a decade ahead of Switzerland, where the most common heating system is still an oil/gas furnace and installing a split AC unit requires permissions from the municipality. In some places they are even subjected to restr

Speaking from Switzerland: most building until recently were clearly built for cold winters, not hot summer. They are often insulated quite well and well heated, but recent summers showed that they aren't suitable for hot weather: they
126.

I'd also think so. Better insulation should mean lower energy demand for heating (and cooling, but as you might imagine residential AC is almost non-existing in central Europe)

I recently had the insight- surely induced by reading something on HN or listening to some podcast- that types are simply functions from the set of all possible "values" to a logical value...

As I learned from my partner, Persian is rich in French loanwords, especially for things that were introduced at the time where French had the same status of English today. Kaput is just the Persian spelling of the French "Capote"

As you might imagine the similarities are limited to Indo-European languages. Take Arabic for example: na'am means yes, but it resembles the words you listed for no
130.

Naan simply means bread in Persian.

The fact python is statement-heavy to me shows that it was originally conceived in another age. It is really annoying after you use expression oriented languages
132.
by bafe 3y ago
I'll join you on that hill. I'd rather "fight" my IDE/the compiler than have runtime errors. Also writing code in a dynamic language is painful after you used a statically typed language in combination with a good I

I agree. Just give me a stereo track, and I'm happy enough. I don't want to buy a receiver and install multiple speakers in my living room/kitchen/office, thank you
134.
by bafe 3y ago
I wish they would just provide a simple stereo mix for those of us that don't want to clutter their living room with a receiver and speakers. Netflix actually provides a stereo mix that works quite well, while Disney plus has an horrib

The article missed the point that the type of noise we are currently exposed to (traffic, airplanes, construction) is actually harmful to our health. Noise cancelling is a welcome respite from the sensory overstimulation of a modern city an

Thanks for the excellent summary on the Kalman filter! I admit I was too lazy to write any details.

You are right. There are several reasons for why you want to fuse (different) sensors: - reduce uncertainty - estimate biases and systematic errors. As you said, different sensors are affected by environmental conditions differently, so it
138.
by bafe 3y ago
Or you give it an infinite uncertainty,in most sensor fusion algorithms it would result in zero weight given to that sensor in the fused observation
139.
by bafe 3y ago
The idea of sensor fusion is to have some kind of error model for all sensors (and frequently for navigation also a dynamic model of the vehicle) so that you can weigh the various sensor differently based on the uncertainty. The most primit

I love free software as much as anyone, but when I'm forced to use a spreadsheet I'm glad we get office at work. The UI/UX of LibreOffice could use a lot of improvements

Isn't this what people are trying to do with pyscript? Although in that case it uses WASM?

Indeed, having if-then-else being an expression (as well as switch) would be great in JSX. It seems there's a proposal for a match expression in TC39...
143.
by bafe 3y ago
Indeed, at least there's a TC39 proposal for that. It should be the default for all statements and it's shocking that python went to define the new match clause to be just a statement and not an expression
144.
by bafe 3y ago
Once you try any languages where (almost) anything is an expression, it is hard to accept statement-oriented languages

Just write SQL and eventually you will reinvent 50% of any ORM

While these two are aimed at bioinformatics, they are general purpose enough that you can apply them to any computational workflow. I can say they saved my PhD

Perhaps it is not as popular, but I found the groovy syntax ideal for DSL like that
148.
by bafe 3y ago
They try to address similar solutions, but comparing snakemake and nextflow doesn't do either tool a favour. They use different computation models, nextflow is based on dataflow programming and therefore schedules processes dynamically
149.
by bafe 3y ago
If you refer to nextflow,the syntax is basically groovy

It sounds like the Match_recognize clause in SQL:2020, where you can define regex patterns for sequences of rows. It's a pity it's not available in most databases yet
