I've worked in agriculture my entire life, and seven weeks is a pretty good turnaround for fixing these types of problems. the next batch of issues they're likely to encounter is handling product with variations in moisture conten

I live in the hotbed of Ontario wind power, the intersection of Chatham-Kent and Windsor-Essex, and if all those windmills only account for 140MW I am very curious where the space would come from to even reach 1000MW. It already feels like

As far as I understood it, they weren't torn down as much as the contract was cancelled and more weren't built. I live in Windsor-Essex and still see new windmill projects going up all the time.

Agreed. While climate change is a real threat, I don't think many people realize just how much water is in Canada, and Quebec in particular. Snow/rainfall patterns certainly can fluctuate, but Canada experiencing severe water shor

I'm not sure about Texas, but lots of regions end up selling or even giving away excess power overnight that's not utilized by the grid. Not all generators can be flipped on and off like a light switch. Nuclear is a prime example.

I've had similar luck with sqlite, of all things. Unless it's envisioned to handle huge user loads, sqlite does a pretty amazing job of FTS, all contained in a tiny binary that runs when I want and only when I want. I find it very

If i had to guess maybe it is a guaranteed 1Gps slot? It does seem like an excessive markup.

Real Estate benefits from cheap money, which dries up in an inflationary environment as central bank juice rates. We're already seeing sizable jumps forecasted for the remainder of 2022 and beyond as this inflationary spiral finally ta

Certainly, but Python is flexible enough that it readily works with other binaries. If a specific function is slowing down the whole project, an alternate implementation of that function in another language can smooth over that performance

It's been at least 5 years since I read an angry post about the 2 to 3 version change, so I guess it's finally been accepted by the community.

You certainly can accept that slowdown if the total program run-time remains within acceptable limits and the use of a rapid prototyping language reduces development time. There are times when doing computationally heavy, long-running proce

Usually laziness, in my experience. that internal "fine, I guess I'll open the SqlAlchemy docs and spin up a database instance for this instead of monkeying around with python sets and lists" argument developers have with the

Every time I've found myself heading down this rabbit hole of creating a faster Python list sort/search, I've inevitably realized that using an in-memory sqlite database is orders of magnitude faster and more flexible, especi

I'm only discussing the macroeconomic operation if foreign account balances and why the inflow of international currency is vital for most countries that have their own domestic currency. If we want to discuss the role of speculators i

I assumed it refers to the need for recipients to convert the foreign currency into local currency, thereby providing the national bank with that currency to use in international transactions. So it's not theft, it's supply and de

rclone is pretty trivial to setup as well. I use it for backing up to my Google drive.

Same here! I read the headline and thought "isn't that what Docker is used for?" As soon as i opened the article I saw the author and I had the same idea, even down to using ufw-docker. I have individual ports scripted to ope

Wachovia failed but because of its size and scope the FDIC couldn't do a simple weekend takeover. Instead, they forced it to sell to Wells Fargo for virtually nothing before it actually went under. It was a different sort of bank failu

Most bubbles start based on some fundamental value rationale. For real estate, the ebb and flow of supply and demand are what sparks the initial price increase. A bubble occurs when speculators pile into that investment vehicle and drive up

We used to call them "bank failure Fridays". They occurred weekly for a not-so-brief period in 2008. Sometimes 3 or 4 in a single weekend.

You're in their building, so I imagine your consent is stated as part of the ticket verbiage or in small print when you buy it. Regardless, closed-circuit cameras are pretty ubiquitous in private businesses, and have been for decades.

When an asset class increases in value for a long enough period of time there is no shortage of explanations for why it's different this time. Real estate, commodities, tech companies, it makes no difference, It's always the same.

Modern hydroponics are certainly not perpetual motion machines. The difference is that you can collect all of the unused nutrients below the plant and recycle them back into the input stream. Secondly, you can elevate the carbon dioxide lev

I have played enough OpenTTD in my life that it silently sits in my library, tempting me, but I refuse to open it for exactly the reason you highlighted. it's a massive time sink and I'm far too old to suddenly realize the birds a

I work in hydroponics and when I describe it to someone new I mention it's like creating 15 acres of agricultural land out of thin air. Of course that depends on the crop, but there can be huge advantages to covered agriculture.

if there was only one possible cryptocurrency then I'd agree that supply can't be grown exponentially. However, there are new cryptos coming online every week it seems. Almost like growing different colored tulips.

Oooh, is that new? I have used Astral[0] in the past which works well but required me to both define all my individual categories (no social/group suggested tags) and remember to use it every time I went on a starring spree. This look

I also attempted a move to Win11 for CUDA before reinstalling Win10. I keep WSL because having a resident Ubuntu environment to install and run various scripts and bash commands/programs is really handy and has little overhead.

It might be opinionated but it's no less accurate. Data science is many researchers first foray into programming in any language and, speaking from my own path, was a relatively self-directed discipline in the early days. I often longe

I've apparently already starred this repo in the past and have no recollection of it. I really need to find a mechanism to sort and categorize my starred repositories; this is getting out of hand.
