In the southwest we make fairly heavy use of swamp coolers (evaporative cooling) which lets you pick your poison. They work pretty well in the more arid areas, but can only drop the temperature about 20-25 degrees, so on the hottest days, y

Albuquerque has been very worried about this for many years, check out their Water 2120 plan for more information: https://www.abcwua.org/uploads/files/Water%202120%20Approved... Is it enough? Probably not, but Al

There's a surprising amount of farmland in the bosque, which runs alongside the Rio Grande for most of its duration, and a lot of that farmland is low-value crops like alfalfa. I would guess this is due to a combination of not wanting

Using my brain, like humans did before LinkedIn. It's quite easy for me to remember who my bosses were and which of my junior devs can actually produce code and which cannot. There's no need to be fatuous. If you can't recall

I think these social networks are really important for candidates like this catfish, but for those of us who know WTF we're doing, I kind of doubt it. It's certainly a trope that developers are antisocial. If you know what you&#x2

I'm in a similar situation to you. I have been really enjoying the 3blue1brown videos on Youtube. He has a sequence on calculus and linear algebra and both of them are worth watching and thinking about before going through a book. I al

My point is that it is easy to make safe things sound dangerous using first-principles arguments absent any in-depth knowledge of the actual situation.

Every time I drive my feet are mere inches from a roaring engine that works by exploding toxic fuel, reaching temperatures high enough to give third degree burns, other cars flying past mine in the opposite direction with a combined speed d

I imagine if it were my job to perform maintenance inches from a train going 40mph, I would grow accustomed to it before long. While we're at it, feeling safe and being safe aren't the same thing.

The purpose of this change probably isn't so much to make the trains more safe as to facilitate transferring blame for a fatal accident from the transit system to a human operator.

No offense, but this is like asking to see an example of someone doing OOP in C and being handed C++.

Then why are they recreating the work rather than reverting to that version alphabet?

Is that a feature of the orthography or does that simply tell us something about your personal background?

I don't think the Latin alphabet is particularly well-suited to English either. We pay for C, but it never does anything K or S don't already do. Yet, we cannot be bothered to buy letters for 'sh' and 'th', dig

The source of the diacritical mess in Polish is that it is a Slavic language rendered in a Latin orthography. Cyrillic is a good start for Slavic languages. Latin is a good start for Romance languages. Arabic is a good start for Semitic lan

This is called "whataboutism." Other people made similar mistakes, so it justifies this mistake because it's smaller by comparison.

Yes, but that already happened.

From a purely linguistic standpoint, I think Kazakh is a better fit for Cyrillic than the Latin alphabet. Look at all the diacritics they have to use to make this work. But we both know the real motivations here probably do not include clea

Fn + Esc on my Precision 5520 seems to switch it into function key mode, or something. Found out about this yesterday, it may work for you too since these are almost the same laptop. It also came with the ethernet dongle, but I never really

I switched from a MacBook Pro to a Precision 5520, which is sort of like what a developer edition XPS 15 would be, if it existed. I have exactly one complaint about this laptop, which is the touchpad under Linux. Initially, Ubuntu used the

I think it's kind of a chicken-and-egg question, personally. Compared to array languages, most other programming languages are, in a sense, tree-oriented. Does their prevalence mean that our problems are mostly tree-structured? Or is o

It's worth noting that the behavior is totally different if you pass higher dimensional matrices. The Fortran, Python, Haskell, etc. code will all break or fail to typecheck, whereas the APL/J/K implicitly maps over them. Und

Taking this attitude to your design is a great way to tank your performance before you've even started. I have seen too many projects suffer from overzealous architecture that treats the database as a persistence layer. Designs that st
