When hardware design can be software emulated then iteration can be more agile. There's a story how NVIDIA was the first one to do this for GPUs- this was done out of desperation because they were out of money and had to ship quickly.

How could it not take much energy to heat up cold air? That plus blowing air is the entirety of what goes on in a forced air ventilation system. The efficiency rating of a gas furnace assumes the incoming air temperature is close to the des

There are second order effects from natural gas use in an actual furnace that aren't taken into account in price of energy comparisons. A furnace has to either 1) exhaust out air initially drawn from the house which must be replaced by

Looks like it has better IDE integration. Still, I am going to stick with cue because of what you mentioned and also because it is a community project. Apple has very few actively maintained open source projects and sometimes such projects

That’s not the full story. Corporations have charters that include things other than a return for investors. Investors also don’t care about maximizing returns as long as expected targets can be hit.

Cue was designed very much with k8s in mind and developed tutorials and integrations for it early on. Dhall was designed pre-k8s. Dhall had to introduce a defaults feature: before that it was completely unusable for k8s. Dhall has functions

We are switching to cuelang [1]. IMHO it is better designed than Jsonette. Since Kubeenetes already has state reconciliation, the only thing missing in this setup is deletion. But that can now be accomplished with the prune feature. [2] [1]

I looked into dryers, and the consensus seemed that there is only 1 brand in the USA for homeowners made to a standard of quality: Speed Queen. Otherwise the approach is to buy old as you do or buy a commercial version. This is true of a lo

That's a good article. The issue is not finding another tonne of lithium, the issue is cranking up production. The article says 4-5 years minimum to build a mine, but sometimes it takes 10 years. So there is a supply issue- it is the s

That is probably a different plant also known as Queen Anne's Lace, which is an edible wild carrot that is invasive and everywhere in the midwest and harmless. It is unfortunate that the two look similar. Queen Anne's Lace thrives

Yes but self confidence works against all this when it doesn’t come with awareness and humility around what you don’t know. You need self skepticism about opinions and new knowledge but confidence around ability to perform actions.

I use NotesNook. Just imported from SimpleNote a month ago without issue. If you are like 95% of people and take very few notes, consider using Simplenote since it starts up fast (including on mobile), syncs across place is very quickly, an

It's important to understand that intention is not required. Spice processing machinery is often made out of metal with lead. For example brass, whichcan have higher lead concentration on the outside to make it easier to machine into i

There can be lead in almost any man-made good or processed food. And even unprocessed food grown in contaminated soils. Lead is such a ubiquitous contamination that it is worth educating yourself about and getting baseline blood tests. This
