You need to generate enough pressure to run the turbines efficiently. High density means high pressure with a small drop. A small drop means you don’t need a mountain to build the facility.

The thing you’re missing is that GCHQ spies on Americans (Foreigners from the UK perspective) using the NSA’s money, then it shares the findings from the spying with the NSA under an intelligence sharing agreement. GCHQ is mostly an outsour

Actually the safest cars are full size saloons. Trucks and SUVs rollover in accidents so your head changes from going straight ahead at 60mph to tumbling at 60mph breaking your neck.

That’s not what I said. If the code is confusing then absolutely refactor it. There’s 3 levels of understanding DRY 1 programmer is unaware of DRY 2 programmer sees how much simpler code is when you reduce duplication 3 programmer sees how

There’s a middle ground between “Move fast and break things” and “Don’t make any changes in case you break anything”

by sjducb 3y ago
Experience will tell you that this happens often, and it’s often better not to DRY in the first place.

If you feel confident refactoring some code then you have been able to read and understand it easily. If you can read and understand it easily then it’s good code, leave it alone.

I’ve worked with 62304 and 13485

by sjducb 3y ago
Regulations like 62304 and ISO-13485 are specifically designed to stop ideas going to prod in a few hours. HIPPA is something completely different. HIPPA is much more lightweight. Probably your company has found a niche that manages to avoi

This is the standard response, but we’re not measuring the deaths caused by bad software. Bad software causes deaths by: - user error - It’s expensive so people don’t get treated in the first place - doctors making treatment errors because

I was expecting lots of outraged Victorians lamenting the decline of modern work ethics
343.
by sjducb 3y ago
This is a controversial and not fully formed opinion, but I think a big part of the problem is the regulations are no longer fit for purpose. Outside of healthcare if you see something broken then you can just fix it, maybe rope in your man

This guy clearly made several million euros. That’s a massive win. Sure founding a billion euro company is better, but if you don’t have a billion euro idea then starting a million euro company is worthwhile.

I ran into a bug so bad I gave up. I entered some details, then got confused by the UI so I pressed the back button. Then I got a “Recover Data” message, but to actually recover the data I had to upgrade to premium. Obviously I’m not going

If we want to live in a future utopia where the robots do all the work, then someone has to build the robots and design the AI. I think we need to explore post scarcity politics and economics to understand how we can support all of the peop

When you’re back in set up 2FA it stops a lot of the blocking when you do high risk things like start new ad campaigns or new startup pages. The initial red flag is usually a security red flag.

I’ve got a static IP it’s doable. A dynamic DNS service might be cheaper tho.

by sjducb 3y ago
It is easy. In the olden days it was the only way. - Get a static IP from your ISP - Point the DNS record at the static IP - On the server run NGINX + Gunicorn + Django That setup will have >99.5% uptime and handle 1000 - 10,000 concurre

The CI time bomb makes developers lives worse. You’re trying to get a new feature released, and some feature that everyone has forgotten about breaks the build and stops you from getting your feature out now. If the stakeholders won’t alloc

Search and rescue is often seen by the military as a high quality training exercise. They feel the stress of a real exercise where someone’s life is on the line.

Sex is not separate from reproduction. If you are a man and have sex with a woman then you're consenting to be a father. Most western countries recognize verbal and other non-written contracts. The clearest example I can see here is th

Solutions that make things worse before they make things better usually just make things worse. Probably what would happen is the busses would get shut down, the Ubers would be underfunded, then no new busses would be started.
