Hijacking somewhat: does anyone know of a small time series db library for C? Looking at doing data logging with a RPi and wondering if there's anything better than CSV in terms of file size efficiency

"We just had a massive bleaching event, but we know from past research that corals are able to recover from the brink of death." Oh, it wasn't dead, it was just on the brink of death. That's much better.

H1Bs are supposed to be used only if you can't find domestic talent. So it makes sense that something scarce would be expensive.

How does this fit in with the trend stated a few years ago that low emissions vehicles are cheaper to maintain? https://news.mit.edu/2016/study-finds-low-emissions-vehicles... And the question of the next decade will b

What if they made all social media read-only for a day or two preceding the election? Analogous to radio silence. Then it would be impossible for anyone to post misinformation about where to vote or other things that are designed to change

Stats are from 2018, any idea what the trend has been in the last six months? Are a significant amount of workers truly leaving places like SF and NYC for a cheaper place in the Midwest?

Hey now, having the words "cat" and "dog" printed next to the pictures of the cat and the dog is cheating!

Exactly. Engineers need to be in charge of engineering companies. Boeing is a case study in what happens otherwise.

It doesn't say "crypto" currency, it says "any virtual currency". So what do they mean by any virtual currency? ACH direct deposit? Starbucks gift cards? RuneScape gold? Virtual currency is just currency that isn&

If you like Among Us, you should try Project Winter. Same concept but the game is more sophisticated in a few ways. (1) Everything is done by voice chat, which makes it a lot harder to fib. (2) The tasks and ways to sabotage are also more i

Maybe they will decouple the app from the backend. Publish the interface, set up an auth system and let the community build their own apps to interface with it. That's the reason email still exists today and will continue to exist long

Fun fact: As the base goes down, the number gets longer. If you think about the base as the height, you could then find the "area" of the number by multiplying the two. It turns out that the base that minimizes this area is e. ht

They should GPL the app. Play the PGP card and print the source in a book.

It just seems strange that there's only one option available. In the US there are so many options that I find myself using an app just to talk to a specific friend, e.g. to talk to John, I'll use Twitter DMs, but I'll use F

Would it be possible to write directly to /dev/i2c in Linux and spoof the messages? Not sure what the use case of this would be, but might be useful for something.

Is this still needed if coreboot is installed? Will this work to make a slice (bottom) battery too?

As SpaceX (and Tesla) have shown, sometimes in order to make real progress you need to restart things from zero. Tech debt piles up and political lines become entrenched to the point where nothing but marginal change can be made. Nationaliz

I can't understand the negative sentiment in these replies. A ribbon cable is objectively a better design choice. If someone is attempting this mod themselves why would they not pick the best choice? We're all engineers, here, r

Oh, man. I'm surprised that card works at all with that wiring. High speed single ended signaling does not do well off-board. Have you done any kind of integrity testing, like writing a GB to the disk and then reading the checksum? If

Recruiters impacting product development seems so obvious of a link but I've never thought of it that way. Makes me wonder what effect referral bonuses have on an org. People might be more likely to refer people who are similar to them
