I wonder why so few BI software support Pi databases. They are pervasive and mission critical in commodity industries, but there only seems to be proprietary options available.

If you were interested in knowing, "Is Github gone mad?" doesn't quite work in English as it's a mix of a past and present tense. For the past tense, you could say "Has Github gone mad?". For the present tense,

I think it's also an artifact of the size of the US labour market. The huge labour pool in the single market makes for strong competition jobs. It's a race to the bottom for pay and working conditions for tons of folks.

That's a fair point. It's still true that wealth is not built by permitting frivolous spending. With all the posts on HN I find interesting, I feel like It's the television chanal package effect. Even avid news readers would

For anyone reading this in the future, please be aware the working out "to failure" is this posters' opinion. From my research, I'd tend to say it's actually not favoured in the current state of the art. From what I

This video is a great primer on the state of the art of display technology right now and seriously changed how I view each tech. Seems like there is a lot of convergence between the main technologies and they all borrow from each other in d

I understand the use of wave in this context like hydrogen fuel cells in NA. It's amazing to hear that our governments are still giving money to what is clearly a bad idea (hydrogen). I think, like in the case of tidal power, you could

My recent work experience leads me to believe CE approval is a rubber stamp. I don't have any clue what that certification is worth to anyone.

That's so encouraging to hear, I would've loved uni maths with some high quality videos like his to watch, even if just for after class to reinforce the topics.

I mean, I could ask, but I don't think they'd ever consent to me confirming that to a stranger on the internet. Sorry

The energy conversion losses in the cycle you describe are enormous.

Sorry if this is too verbose, but here's my attempt: XLights is nearly a one-stop-shop for your programmable LED lights. You map channels in the data streams you send to lights (handles many different data types), organize (for instanc

I completely agree. Whether grandparent meant it or not, that language gives an entitled vibe which doesn't fit for open source projects.

Strong recommendation for Xlights, I used to program patterns for my dreamcoat. I started with a 3D scan of me wearing the costume using my wife's iPhone when the first version with LIDAR came out. After cleaning up the scan (iPhone 12

I would say Acadian is probably as far from France French as Québecois is, but it certainly has some fascinating qualities. They use old French words there that have changed everywhere else French is spoken (aside maybe Louisianna French).

There are obviously going to be some cases of that. I remember hearing through a friend that their university roommate from France dropped a class at UQAM because they couldn't take their lecturer's accent seriously. You have elit

It's more from ignorance than anything. I speak Quebec French and had little trouble being understood in France in the two times I've visited. I have folks from France, French Africa, and Haïti here at my job. It's more just

This is really neat, I expected it to be a priced service but I was able to look up my friends' channel for free. Great stats, though I'll have to ask them what information this has that isn't available on their own platform.

When I started a gamedev project with some friends last year we considered Haxe against other engines/frameworks. Most of us had touched flash/actionscript game-making in the past in some way, so it was an interesting choice (less

If you want to experiment Kobold.cpp is a great interface and goes a long distance to guarantee backwards compatibility of outdated model formats.

Resistance is proportional to the square of current. This would mean 1/16th the loss instead of 1/4th.

The naturalist in Nicaragua by Thomas Belt was pretty good. I really enjoy learning about ant colonies which drove me to it orginally. Darwin himself liked it (as they advertise with the book) "The best of all natural history journals

In your example there is no legal or otherwise requirement to verify to provenance of money spent in a casino. I think many would agree it's an overstep to start checking that. Going to the casino would require an invasive inquiry into

We can all speculate. An alternative would be "he's got nothing left to lose and wants to expose more secrets". I think the Western intelligence agencies have lots of documented cases of creating companies for purposes like t
