People grow and learn and one of your primary jobs as a manager is to help them do so. We're all human and mess up - one dickhead seems like a cause for a warning. Multiple dickheads suggest someone isn't learning, and _that_ is a

I decided on a foolish whim to upgrade from a 9 pro to a 10 pro, and so far I'm nothing but disappointed - it does nothing better than my old phone and the battery life is worse despite the newer CPU and larger battery , presumably due

The per plane cost varies a lot depending on what you want to wrap in it: how much of the development costs you amortize, the modernization program, etc. but $200m is in the range. ("Total acquisition costs" vs the marginal cost o

Different process, same outcome: hydrocarbons are broken down and oxidized into CO2. We just do it with some enzymes in the Krebs cycle instead of doing a high temperature reaction.

This is baloney? Air quality experts like Richard Corsi (UC Davis, now, poor guy, the dean of the college of engineering) have been advocating for increasing both external ACH (air changes/hour) and filtration ACH since nearly the begi

Dirt has an r-value of between 0.25 and 1 per inch according to some quick googling, so 10ft would be maybe R-60. Surprisingly, that's only equivalent to about 10" of polyiso rigid foam. What this project is really taking advantag

Performance engineering is a modestly specialized subdomain - I think that applies to databases just as it does to code.

Agreeing with you and mythrwy: in Pittsburgh, our cherry tomatoes have been gonzo the last few years and our heirlooms have been only middling productive. Which is annoying because they're so much more work to cook with. :)

1) did you start them indoors or buy seedlings? Getting a late start could delay things. 2) did you water them enough? 3) did you have good holes for them? Tomatoes do well if they can root deeply - giving them a 2-3' deep hole filled

This is not true? https://bsky.jazco.dev/stats There was a huge bump of new users right after the election, and things have gone down since then, but they are still much higher than they were in September 2024. And if you l

If you can do 210 you'll see even more. Any primorial will give you the strongest patterns. (Primorials are the products of the first N primes, so 2, 6, 30, 210, etc.)

Not an answer to your question, but I suspect most people don't -- my bot (a pi searcher bot, of course) just runs on Jetstream, which is pretty lightweight and heavily compressed. (The website in question uses jetstream also.)

I have used a mini home-datacenter to heat my house in winter (very effectively - I used a fan to direct the heat towards the intake for the AC system and ran the AC fan). But I decided against the HW heater version of it from a cost recove

You actually can: The Puya PY32 ranges from about $0.08 on up (well, $0.15 if you only want to buy 5, but the cheapest one is $0.0959 in qty 200 and $0.0676 in qty 5000+). ARM Cortex m0 in a 10-pin ESSOP-10 surface mount package: https:&#x

A 60Wh battery weighs about 300g. That stage is about 5 hours. 300g seems a pretty small price to pay for a 10W boost, especially if you achieve it by making the bike be under the limit and then adding motor+battery (switchable with a dummy

It's interesting how this happens with a lot of shared CPU resources, particularly cache, and even more particularly, icache: It's really easy when studying a small isolated component to end up at a solution that either uses more

I tend to agree except for one recent experience: I built a quick prototype of an application whose backend I had written twice before and finally wanted to do right. But the existing infrastructure for it had bit-rotted, and I am definitel

Return on energy is different from cost, and it's strange that you're ignoring that. When you look at the levelized cost of energy, solar and onshore wind win: On a per-kWh basis, they produce the cheapest energy around. Gas combi

The easy path, as someone suggested, is a kill-a-watt that you just plug it into. The less intrusive path for some definition of less intrusive is a clamp ammeter if you can expose one of the AC wires (you have to clamp around an individual

The joke is that schmidhuber is known for (rightly or wrongly) pointing to modern contributions in deep neural networks and saying they're just a trivial generalization/adaptation/etc. of work he did 30 years ago.
