You can pry typescript from my cold dead hands. All these “inconclusive” studies but has anyone ever tried a trial where 20 nearly identical teams tried implementing the same spec using a typed or untyped language? It’s inconclusive because

This is not true. Enron was famous (notorious) for leveraging the, then, capacity of long distance interconnects to move power from far off generation capacity to advantageously priced markets. Just take a look at the sheer size of CalISO,

“We” aren’t building anything. Utilities are an income producing asset for their investors. There are, in fact, a multitude of utility solar installations going on right now all over the US. These things take time to build and learn from. I

This. As a former infantryman the one thing that still strikes me with awe to this day is the destructive power of artillery. People cannot fathom what it’s capable of. Go up in a tall building, maybe to the 20th floor or so. Eyeball a buil

I appreciate the sentiment but this is a permanent installation for a US base in North Carolina. Also there is nothing tactical about a solar farm. JP-8 (similar to diesel) is easy to source the world over, has high energy density, is easy

The contrast indicates that regularly replacing the HEPA filters of APs could represent an effective method of avoiding increased endotoxins in the filtered air. That's a pretty clickbaity paper title. The lede was buried. A better t

It also gave authorities the flexibility to implement pandemic policies which would have been unenforceable in a place like the US.

I’m going to offer a counter point, anecdotally of course. My daughter is in university right now. She’s a in pre-nursing. She says most of the people in her major this year switched to nursing from other majors during the pandemic because

You'd think the NRA would be all over this: a legal gun owner killed in his home by police? Nope In the gun community the NRA is generally seen has having failed gun owners. There are many cases similar to Amir Locke's. One in p

It's because these loans usually don't make it through underwriting. Most of the time they don't even make it past the originators desk. Banks have no incentive to prosecute people who "forget" to mention there&#x27

In my 40’s now and watching my father (boomer gen) go to funerals of people he worked with for years (in some cases decades). It makes me wonder who from work would bother going to mine, not out of guilt or obligation. The previous generati

I’m ok with it as long as the maintainer is consistent and does it for “the current thing” every time. That means Sudan, Darfur, Iraq war, ISIS, Assad’s regime, etc… Heck why not even Florida after the “say gay” thing?

Too late. The Fed requests ad-hoc reporting of all kinds and the banks comply. In addition to raw transaction flows which the Fed does in fact receive in many cases. People have no idea what all those people at the Fed do and people who wor

Most people who get started as an independent contractor “steal” their first client from their employer. People will say this is wrong, people will say they didn’t, but I’m telling you this is just how the world works.

I surprised how few people have mentioned Remix. It's very Rails like (don't make me think). Albeit, Rails makes you have to think even less, Remix is headed in the right direction.

Ironically some expensive restaurants in the states add “gratuity” (like a service charge) to the bill and do not rely on tipping. This ensures their hard to recruit staff (sommeliers, skilled wait staff, etc…) can be paid enough to keep wo

Were talking about initial entry into a market. Apple always enters with middling specs.

Thinking apple would ship a first version that maxes out in hw specs shows a lack of historical understanding of apples past behavior. Given their history we can expect: nice form factor, minimal features, easy to use, minimal specs, priced
