Ok, this isn't "the thing" with solar panels, but: they're going to require maintenance, be subject to wiring issues, and you have to clean those bad boys. Roof work is notoriously 'dangerous', and impacts peop

These kinds of issues are excellent commercials for why the strictness of a language like F# (or OCaml, Haskell, etc), is such a powerful tool for correctness: 1) Outside of initialization, assignment is done with the `<-` operator, so y

I blame RDBMS-centric thinking. Things that look like numbers will perform well in an index, and we get free ID generation, so... why think about hard things, just throw it in there. In terms of identity an ID is never a number, always a

Just in general: your employee ID is likely a 'number', but it's not a number , it's a unique series of digits.... You don't add employee IDs. You don't multiply them by the current month. You don't grou

I believe this is the fundamental issue, from Amazons PoV: this altruistic project with nice goals is abusing a network nuance, but most other actors using this capability are likely to be bad actors. I don't think Amazons reasoning wa

A couple moments though: Google and Facebooks manoeuvring to adapt to the GDPR give a clear road map of the legal requirements. Bluntly, they're not that bad, and they're better for a new startup who can adapt to them from the gr

That's the fundamental issue, though, isn't it? Complexity . Trying to manage all complexity through an abstraction that cuts across multiple domain readily results in "domain impedance". And here's the rub: any d

You can order dry starter online, which can be a nice way to start up and works as a distributed backup plan ;)

Fermentation goes through four phases, roughly paraphrased into: wheatey, champagne, alcohol, vomit. You're describing a starter that is too 'old'. Very 'young' starters have little flavour, and then get sweet and

Ummm... contextually: this is incorrect for a bread baker. You can totally bake bread without a recipe, and adjust while you go. You can check breads before they're done and let them bake longer. Maintain a rough 1:2:4 ratio of start

That's very relevant for the bread-making process. For starter feeding, though, I'm with the GP post: measuring all the time is a PIA, and totally unnecessary. The margin of error is massive, after a few measures you'll know

I think resumes should be treated less as a report card and more of a brochure. Hiring managers have little time, so keeping it focused on relevant highlights and selling the candidate for that job are the entire point. A 15 page menu is

My take on the criticism here is that people are ignoring that Google has a lot of customers on GMail and a lot of corporations on GSuite. Intra-office email management is another ballgame and these kinds of features are pretty common in t
