I participated in the "Give One, Get One" campaign where I bought one and donated one. I used it to read my email for a while - it was super slow but I enjoyed the novelty. It used Sugar OS which was their own Linux flavor (I thin

There's already a subquery in there. I'm saying this can still be done with one subquery, just in a different place and it returns the desired results.

This example seemed wrong to me as well. You can have a subquery, or CTE that returns as many fields as you want and can join on the manager key

This level of specialization in grass-growing would be a good theme for a mockumentary (like Best in Show)

I really like Sterman's book. I think the top comment really nailed the challenge with this approach - it's very difficult to identify the components of a system. I used this modeling approach quite a bit for a few years - my stru

It's also a paid service with many customers, so likely to last a long time.

I love his food lab book, and overall he seems like such a nice person. The book is a bit dense, but it has such great info that really helps deepen your cooking skills.

> However, it is likely that the same FLoC IDs or range of IDs will be associated with someone. This seems all quite speculative. In the first paragraph they describe FLoc IDs as changing constantly - why would they assume new IDs are no

I do think the passenger should be weighed with their bags. Ultimately the total mass of the person and their belongings is what is being lifted into the air. If there is a dignified way to weigh both, I think that would be fairest.

Have you come across Business Dynamics by John Sterman? It's essentially Meadows approach applied to the business environment, including thinking about general organizational structure.

Hmm, I "adopted" one for a couple of years and I would get regular updates - once they passed training, once they were active etc. I think it was every month or two.

Thank you Paul! I co-built a small company on GeoDjango (Django + PostGIS) and it was a real pleasure to be able to have such a well-working piece of technology in a very fragmented and messy space. It's a real gem in the world of geos

I remember this being discussed in a documentary a long time ago (I can't remember the name). A few other points suggested in documentary: * Hemp/Marijuana was a popular source of fiber and competed with cotton. Cotton requires fe

I'm really missing why FLoC is a bad thing. Isn't bundling users into buckets good for individual privacy? In theory if the bucket is too small you are identifiable, but my understanding is that the entire premise of this approach

More accurate to say she was Anglo-Irish, as she was born in Ireland. > This is part of Ireland's attempt to cobble together some sort of anti fascist history as nationalism rises due to the displacement levels of immigration seeing

Why do you assume I have not done this? (I have) My main point about this article is that it's not considering why we are roped into an alarm clock culture - it's not because we want to be woken up this way, it's because some

Yeah, fair. But perhaps higher minimum wages, and no zero hour contacts? Better worker protections? If economic survival requires depletion of your sleep (which is so important), it's highlighting an imbalance in the overall system.

I don't disagree with the premise, but there is an enormous luxury in having this option. If you work two low-paid jobs, you are time poor. My partner used to work three jobs at one point in her life, getting up at 5am, and finishing a

If very high-skilled work is needed and/or specialized tools (replacing a front-door, plumbing a gas-line), I agree, it's hard to match a skilled professional. In my experience, the vast majority of household diy/repair does

I completely agree. I've found these are generally challenging tasks that pull you into a flow state, and when doing them with family, contribute to a great sense of accomplishment.

I have a Gates Carbon drive too. It's extremely convenient, but my understanding is that it's lower efficiency compared to a well-mantained chain. Due to the practical challenges of maintaining a steel chain, I think Gates does we

Thanks for explaining! I've used R for a lot of data-visualization (and become familiar with the idiosyncrasies of many packages) so it's nice to know that it's compatible.

I'd love to see variations of this succeed. I've been a reader and subscriber to a small Dublin (Ireland) newspaper for the last year or so [0]. It has a staff of ~5 and is mostly funded through subscribers (there's some smal

I use Brave exclusively on mobile (so do 5 other people I know, with various levels of tech literacy). It's fast and blocks ads - that's quite a draw.

Sometimes people may not be comfortable sharing their backgrounds, and may not have convenient alternatives. For example, if you have a bed in the background it can be awkward and you might want to blur that out.

It's crazy that this was done pro-bono. Perhaps this is why there are a lot of performance issues?
