A teacher of mine once told us that "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." I think that's one of the paradoxes of life and we see this over and over again where a lot of good people try to do the right thing but th

IIRC, they used a turbo supercharger system that had multiple stages that can be enabled at different altitudes.

In case anyone is a budding airplane nerd, Greg’s Automobiles and Airplanes did an 8 parts series on the P-47: https://youtu.be/mzQuq2FHdeE He really nerds out on the engineering and flight details and pulls out NACA charts

Yes. It's a bit surreal. The farthest western part of China has a time that doesn't at all reflect the reality outside because it's like 4 hours behind what the clock shows.

When Slack IPOed, their revenue was around $500 mil and their market cap was $16 billion, IIRC. So Zapier seems pretty inline.

But how Dunning Kruger are you to put that down? Like chess has a pretty well known rating system that even a moderately interested player would know about. So in the case of chess you can’t even claim that you didn’t know you are not that

The MIT Club of Northern California posted a video a few years ago on this exact topic and reactor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkpqA8yG9T4 This thing came out of MIT, at least according to the video, and was really the

It would be great if larger cities setup some kind of trade-in program where one can give up their gas powered tools for vouchers, etc. that they can use to buy replacement electric ones.

by hangonhn 6y ago
I feel really bad for the people who have to use the gas ones because they're breathing in exhaust the whole time. Small gas engines, especially the 2 stroke cycle ones, don't burn nearly as cleanly as the ones we find on most car

Yeah current Okta customer and same experience as you. I was thinking of maybe going to Auth0 but well at least this news came out before we put any serious work into planning. sigh Auth0 at least has much better docs and libraries. It fe

100%. We use Okta but to write some integration with their OIDC service, I found it much easier and secure to use the Auth0 libraries. I found Okta's support to be really lacking. And while features like Token Exchange has been in dr

That's sad. When I tried to build my own wifi antenna (mid 2000s), I discovered that Radio Shack wasn't really a Radio Shack any more and that Fry's was the real electronics store. I don't even know where one would go to

But that's because Python didn't have type annotations. Now that it has them, cython can just use those instead of its own and developers will get the benefit of being able to compile to C using pure Python.

Same here. I used to get terrible rashes on the back of my neck that needed increasingly stronger steroid creams to deal with. Then I found out about SLS from a BBC clip about it. It’s an incredibly drying chemical and it’s only purpose is

The Tres Amigas Super Station is, ironically, being built in TX. If it was done, it could help the situation a lot. 30 GW of capacity! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tres_Amigas_SuperStation

On the GitHub repo ( https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream ), it saids: "Litestream only communicates with SQLite through the SQLite API so it will not corrupt your database." Does that mean I can use an

That makes me wonder if that was how the product originated. Dyson realizes its fans have a problem. Engineers suggest an air filter. Marketing see an opportunity.

Wait. Is that it? The article felt like it was off to a good start and I wanted to read more and learn more about the other bits of Senna away from the documentary (which was really good but does mythologize him) and then it sort of just en

Damn. That's one hell of a set of credentials for the founders. I was the engineer who was heavily involved with monitoring at my last job and a lot of what this is doing aligns with what I would have done myself. At my new job, I work

I recently used Starlette, which FastAPI also uses, for a project and absolutely loved it. I went with Starlette over FastAPI because I didn't need a lot of what FastAPI provided for that particular project. I want to start nudging my

I don't know the specific answer to your question but I do have a data point to add. When I was just starting out in my career in the early 2000s, I worked for a hedge fund. One curious thing I noticed is that all the traders had time

I worked at VMware when Pat first became the CEO. Pat is very much an engineer. If you ever wanted an engineer as your CEO, then that's Pat. That comes with some goods and some not-so-greats. Pat isn't very inspiring, at least not

Pets are considered property in all fifty states (Although in CA there are laws being proposed or even passed to change some of that). Any injuries or death to a pet only requires replacement cost.

It's not an advantage that China can maintain though, hence the movement upwards. China, and other countries like that, was cheap because they were underdeveloped and the goals/wants of their population were minimal. But now some
