Well put. There's just no reason to move off VSCode so far (for Python and friends). In a couple weeks' time, I'll be working with C# in Visual Studio. It has me excited since I've heard many good things about Microsoft

I suspect you already implicitly included it, but just to mention it: the hunks created by `--patch` commands can be split up further through `s`. But as you said, this is sometimes not enough either (two changed, adjacent lines will remain

Since branches and such are cheap, you might benefit from `git switch -c debug`, `git reset` etc. They can wipe your working tree clean instead of having to do it manually.

Is this relevant to interpreted languages as well? I’m thinking perhaps Pythons bytecode could have similar optimisations.

To that I say: there's dirty code -- then there's researchers' code. It can be a whole new level, far beyond just copy-paste and other superficial sins.

Absolutely possible. The difference might be that PhDs don't conventionally have the 'downward' path available. They have a lower bound to the career roles they can take up. You may well violate that bound and do more 'l

I will hand in my notice tomorrow, after circa 1 year as a PhD student. In fact, I'm switching fields: from a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (energy systems) to a software developer role in a non-engineering sector. Very little of my 7

I always wondered what’s keeping packages back from having wheels ready the day a release drops, or way before even? I imagine often it’s just another parameter in a CI somewhere, where things mostly “just work” because backward-incompatibl

I wonder if, at all, other fonts will ever be used for MathJax max display? The 'default MathJax font' is also just the 'default LaTeX font' (CM?). There are countless other, high-quality math fonts, for example the TeX

Very good observation. That's a reason I'm itching to try out an approach akin to this (in a future project): https://jasonstitt.com/gitignore-whitelisting-patterns

As far as I can see, this only comes into play when newly adding files to be tracked. If you created a 'source.file', but your global gitignore ignores all '.file' files, then you'd notice immediately. You wouldn&#x

It's baffling the degree to which Teams doesn't work on a purely technical basis, before UI and UX even come into play. Half an hour ago I accepted an invitation to join a Team. Logged into MS in the browser, checked remember me

That date format is actually the worst I have ever encountered. m-d-y, with year in 2 digits, numbers not zero-padded, US "order" yet using dashes. It's like a moderator of /r/ISO8601 came up with the worst possible

Sounds like points 1 and 2 can be elegantly combined using "next-gen" filesystems like zfs or btrfs. The hashing and scrubbing (automatic repair) happens in the background and the swapping to new/fresh media is automatic thro

Of all things keeping the energy transition back, steam turbine manufacturing is probably very low on the list. I’m not aware it’s an issue. It’s an old and proven technology.

They are more efficient because converting anything to heat is trivial. Heat is just losses basically. A process consisting of 100% losses is great for heat generation. However, extracting exergy (electricity is pure exergy) from a flow of

Only at tremendously low efficiencies it seems.

Heat radiation losses (scaling with the fourth power of the temperatures) would obliterate such a storage solution. I could only imagine it as very short-term, at which point heating using electricity and converting back shortly after quick

Concentrated energy is not a technical term. But high-temperature internal energy storage (aka heat storage) is terrible because of the losses. For example, low temperature floor heating is very efficient. You don’t want high temperature de

At those temperatures, Carnot efficiency is between 80 and 90 percent. The comparison to steam engines is misleading, but there’s an important distinction. Steam or gas turbines would reach very high efficiencies at these temperatures too
536.
by diarrhea 5y ago
A Carnot heat engine operating between, say, 2600K and 400K can reach almost 85% efficiency. The higher the temperature, the higher the share of exergy in the heat flux. At high enough temperatures, it’s no longer a feat to convert to elect
