It depends on how you operationalize the claim and when you start the timer. In 1975, the cost per watt for solar PV modules was $105.70 per watt, when normalized for inflation. In 2020, that number was $0.20 per watt. (Source: https:&#x2F

With 800 billion dollars of funding from the government, there are going to be a lot of opportunities to follow the cash.

Better yet, don't buy a modern HP or support any company that does this in their product lines.

Heart Disease, Cancer, Stroke, Alzheimer's, and Diabetes would be an easy top 5. Covid was the third leading cause of death last year, and considering the effects on some, it likely deserves more work as well. source: https:/&#x2

So long as you never have multi-page forms and don't worry about error handling on bad submissions and the back button, you're golden! I still have nightmares of post-redirect-get complexity and giant balls of mud in session scope

You are mixing diet effectiveness (physics) and adherence. Let me give you an example. I just had a giant mound of quinoa with a mix of sauteed vegetables and a little more raw olive oil. It met my calorie requirements, but was slightly low

You are making unorthodox claims and are going to need a bit more citation here. I can also point to the Mediterranean diet that is moderately high in fats (olive oil) and carbs, yet was not considered a disaster. Further, it's making

The alternative, for the purposes of a farmed animal, is an animal that never lived. If the entirety of the life of an animal is suffering, as is the case in many factory farms, it's fair to suggest that not having that animal ever liv

Unfortunately, the other comment was flagged, but I think this is important because it does highlight the difference between fact, values, social constructions, and opinions. I agree that men should not win women's beauty contests. Tha

First, there is no "fact" in there. "Should" by inference points you to an opinion rather than fact. Fact: Some roses are red. Opinion: Roses should be red. Considering that your example of a "fact" starts with

The instant pot is great for grains. Rice comes out consistent, as do other grains. It also frees up a burner which can be useful. Stock is so much quicker to make and is completely different than store-bought. Otherwise the key for slow co

Almost every developer I've ever seen defaults to "explanation." Reference is there to the extent that it can be auto-generated, but most companies are relatively light on reference. Tutorials are pretty rare in smaller orgs

I’ve advocated for hiring a librarian but I haven’t ever been able to make the case successfully. So yes, I agree with you, but the “how” of structuring and the “who” are orthogonal. This is about prioritizing the documentation you write.

by ebiester 4y ago
I would suggest introducing two things. First, introduce The Diataxis framework ( https://diataxis.fr/ ) for documentation. It makes people think about documentation in a more structured way, and allows you to be more speci

As long as you're willing to accept a company that is not growing in revenue due to new value created, you can build a system entirely dedicated to maintenance of existing features with a small group. In Twitter's case, however, h

However, this is a list for students, teachers, and researchers, and within that context, precision is important. This group of terms in the article is not about policing - something like "crazy" or "schizophrenic". It&#

Regardless of "wokism," it might stop meaning from being transmitted to those who do find the term problematic. Absurd or ridiculous both capture the same meaning without losing precision. And at this point, we can look at it more

We're still in the exploration of ideas at this point. Eventually that will happen, but I think there's a lot of room to explore before converging on the best implementations.

I mean, the CONFIRM trial ( https://www.research.va.gov/currents/1117-Largest-ever-VA-cl... ) had 50,000 patients. (That's not a pharmaceutical sponsor-led clinical trial, but it is a clinical trial.) But yes, the l

10% as defined as the natural equilibrium for a profitable company paying market rate to its engineers. So yes, 10% is arbitrary as anything not coming from a peer-reviewed study would be.

What does it mean to be overstaffed? I think that's a real question on which we can build. I define a skeleton crew as roughly 10% of the organization. If you cannot run your basic organization with just maintenance and basic bug fixes

Yes and no. It won't do much for the immediate problem, but you're about to go through a lot more blood and will need to replenish the stores.

Or it's well architected. Most of the time, developers are ideally working on new value additions rather than pure maintenance. The problem happens when something breaks - let's say your database changes the execution plan and it

It depends on how Twitter is architected. Most teams need about 10% of staff for skeleton maintenance. You can last a little bit with one staff to restart things as they go, but you'll have a quick degradation of service. If certain mi

Back in the day, IBM didn't own a distribution that worked to extract maximum cost to those already in the ecosystem. It sounds like Rakuten is paying CIQ instead of Red Hat on basis of a price increase from Red Hat.
