I see these claims pop up occasionally and I have found them both very overstated but potentially insightful. With a perspective that goes farther back in time and a wider geography the sleep patterns promoted here as universal simply state

I think Spain is showing that majority renewables can work, if you are willing to work through the pain. Someone needs to lead the way and figure out how to make it work, so I am glad they are doing it. I do think this article and most info

These reports are inferring a lot from 1 year trends that are often changing only around 1%. Certainly it is great if new energy is coming mostly from cleaner sources, but the idea that we are actually getting rid of the non clean sources i

The difference is that Go has its own linker rather than using a system linker. Another article could explain the benefits of tighter integration and the drawbacks of this approach. Having its own toolchain I assume is part of what enables

Functional programming is immutable by default. TypeScript and many other typed languages don't really stop you from clobbering things, particularly with concurrency. Rust does. But immutability with GC is a lot easier to use than Rust

The recent move away from phonics has been disastrous, and states that are using phonics now are seeing better results. > Some have called it the “Mississippi miracle” ... > A clear policy story is behind these improvements: imposing

Is there a way to just use this as a computer monitor? That’s what the Viture glasses are and it’s great to have a portable monitor that focuses at a longer distance.

Navidrome looks nice but it looks like it is Desktop only. I am using Plexamp as well. I tried some alternatives but couldn't get them to work reliably. People miss Plexamp as an option because they try the regular Plex app and not the

I like Orion on iOS- it’s Safari without all the ads showing up. I can run the DarkReader extension at night just like Safari. Unfortunately it’s the most unstable software on my phone- at times regularly freezing up and then I switch back

Texas is one of the best climates in the US for renewables but in locations with less sun and wind the math will be different. That math includes batteries for load shifting of which Texas is installing a lot. As renewable generation increa

Liftosaur is an interesting project in this space that I use for tracking my weight lifting. The lifting routine is programmable and shareable. They have a database of exercises that are based around linking to YouTube videos. https:/

There are several existing Go error libraries with a similar approach sans context. The approach I ended up taking is to use slog attributes. It allows for reuse of existing logging attributes. This is explained here (skip to the “adding me

This is one of the most disturbing articles I have seen related to reproducibility because it seems to imply that scientists don’t already know this.

One definition of legacy code I have seen is code without tests. I don't fully agree with that, but it is likely that your untested code is going to become legacy code quickly. Everyone should be asking AI to write lots of tests- to me

Luxury apartments prevent gentrification. Unoccupied housing or otherwise housing purely for investment is certainly a problem. If they aren’t renting at least with AirBnB they would actually be better served by holding gold in many cases.

There’s an explanation that earth’s magnetic field is now so weak that a normal solar wind ended up breaking through a vulnerable spot. Very poorly explained right now by Space Weather News. I am waiting for an updated explanation.

Most of the lead in baby food comes from the industrial processing. So if you grow your own apples and make your own apple sauce and don't put industrial processed spices in it it's likely not going to have any detectable lead in

Often times prop 65 is a lead issue. But perhaps most often it means that the company doesn't want to bother testing for lead rather than that the item definitely has lead. With all things, be strategic- the importance of avoiding prop
