He only has that power because Congress is allowing him to abuse "emergency" powers. Authority to set taxes lies with Congress.

What drove the TCO so high that ditching already paid for hybrid busses made sense?

96% acceptance rate for black candidates with high MCAT scores, but a nonzero acceptance rate for white candidates with low scores. Maybe there are other factors, and they're correlated with the buckets being used here?
215.
by sagarm 2y ago
I know right? Black applicants with high MCAT scores were rejected in favor of white applicants with low MCAT scores! Just unbelievable.

So do you think that if the acceptance rate for high MCAT and GPA are below 100%, then the other bars should be zero? i.e, these are the only admissions criteria that should be considered?

You realize that heat pumps are just ACs that can just run in reverse? Most American households already have central air. They'd just swap to a reversible AC ("heat pump") when they need to replace their AC. Mini-splits are c

I guess backwards incompatible changes to the protocol? But yeah, don't do that if you're using protobuf; it's intentionally not robust to it.

Is it actually, in practical applications? Just firing up the JVM can take seconds, while Go is often used for CLI programs that only run for milliseconds.

Just starting up the trivial Spring application I work on takes multiple seconds. Firing up other services for an integration test can take 30+ seconds. It's ridiculous. The latency makes integration testing unnecessarily tedious. Don&

Even at a COP of 2, a heat pump powered by a 60% efficient gas power plant will use less gas at the power plant than gas heat.

by sagarm 2y ago
You realize that heat pumps also cool, right? They're just ACs that can also work in reverse.

Because it's actually just a verbal cudgel used by the right for things they don't like. Religious groups especially have all sorts of arbitrary rules for which words you can use to talk about them, and if you use the wrong words

The patent on changing volume for more than one speaker at a time? That was such bullshit. The software changes forced by the ITC ruling forced Google to basically break speaker groups. Not a surprise that might have resulted in some frayed

Breaking a problem down to the extent you are describing should only have to be done for fresh grads IMO. LLMs are indeed better at tasks broken down to this degree in my experience. I'd expect more senior engineers to handle increasin

Because the resulting fuel isn't economically viable. You need to amortize equipment costs and round trip efficiency is really poor.

There's a whole lot of folks that believe minimizing have movement is ergonomically better, if not faster, and therefore use keyboard layouts that require cords to type not just function keys but also numbers. A popular way to handle m

You get long ugly URLs. The system in work on often has 4-5 of these IDs in the URL, making working with them -- like copying and pasting them, or even extracting the particular id you care about from the path -- cumbersome.

Like you, I thought typing questions into Google was wrong for a long time. The times have changed; this is how most people interact with Google, and it really does convey intent to the system better now that we have sufficiently powerful N

Buffalo is a city, and therefore probably is profitable for New York State. It's rural and suburban areas that are money pits.

Java is really unpleasant to program in without IntelliJ IMO. I strongly prefer NVim for Python and C++, but still use IntelliJ for anything non-trivial in Java.
