This has happened because of a power generation constraint. Are there other places where power generation is going to be a constraint in the future? Any chance us-east-1 won’t have enough juice for all the data centers?

TBH I'm surprised that it took this long to move to this! Back when Heroku first arrived, PaaS was a new idea. It was available ~2009, well before services like AWS Lambda existed. This was such a paradigm shift that no one knew what t

The title asks an interesting question: > Is losing weight an important health goal? I would argue having that as a goal sets you up for failure. You can lose weight a bunch of different ways, most of them probably aren’t in service to y

Anecdata here but I’ve built ~30lbs of muscle from when I was a skinny kid back in school. I’m curious what the core argument is from these books. Could you tell me more?

This article rubbed me the wrong way. I gained a lot of bad weight over COVID. Most of this was because I wasn’t moving and I was eating a lot of food that made me feel good but my body stored as fat. Now I’m being a lot more deliberate abo

A book I just finished that explains this quite well is Thinking in Systems: A Primer. It touches on systems, modeling, nonlinearilites, etc. I saw someone suggest another book on economics. Are there any other books people recommend for sy

AFAIK there’s not many products in this field. A type of personal database and editor to put thoughts together etc. What are some other products that serve a similar niche? How do they differ from this?

I really like the idea of a learning sub space! Once the learning scaffolding is modelled, you can use that to build on top of it. I wonder if the neocortex is the thing that we use together with the learning scaffolding.

I have no ML experience so tell me if I’m wrong here. The argument is that Transformers spend most of their compute finding this language subspace. Once the subspace is found, it’s very easy for it to add words/phrases/etc to the

Something I rarely see anyone do is use the Refactoring features in their IDE. Most IDEs understand the AST of the code you’re working with. Knowing the AST allows it to restructure that tree, based on some simple commands. One command is r

Someone here said don’t name your variables x, or a, etc. I argue that you do name them ambiguously to start. Normally when you’re writing code you’re thinking about the right hand side of the statement. What is the next step in my code? Bu

There was a ruling that said that recipes are not copyrightable. However, anything beyond the recipe ingredients and method is copyrightable. Think images, videos, or that hunk of text detailing their experience as a 5 year old before a rec

Hardly at all these days. The quality of answers seems to have fallen off a cliff. There’s another reason I use it less. Developer documentation has gotten so much better over the past 10 years. There’s hardly a case where I have a question

My original thought was that it had to do with a DB query plan. ie: converting a SQL statement to a set of operations. Reading through this, I came to the same conclusion. I am really confused as to what a plan is in this context. My best g

I think there’s two things here. The easier one to explain is the “omnichannel” bit. It reminds me a lot of dev teams creating a microservice and giving it a code name. Imagine someone from business joining standup and hearing a bunch of mi

As the novelty of trolling these bills with PRs dies down, I can see this being really useful. Imagine more bills getting collaboration from the public this way. Rather than calling/writing your local rep, you submit a PR/issue an

Can someone tell me if my understanding is correct? Soland offers a service to loan stablecoins out. To do this, you need to provide some amount of their solana coin as collateral. Additionally, because it’s a loan they expect their initial

This sounds really interesting from a technical point of view! What was your motivation in building it?

I'm a bit late, but what's the technical setup? I'm curious about the panel, controller and pump. What's the wattage and parts etc. What's the final cost? Finally, what problem are you solving for?
