I think that the term industrial revolution is a bit misleading even, it should be named the fossil fuel revolution. Because cheap and abundant energy is what differentiates the world post industrial revolution from the world before more th

Digging around a bit I must say I am very impressed by all the data-viz stuff the antv group makes. Would really like to be able to try out their GraphInsight tool ( https://github.com/antvis/GraphInsight/blob/

Have you even been to Europe? There is a sweetspot between 500ft highrise and infinite swaths of SFH suburbia. That sweet spot is usualy also classified as "high density", and IMHO is better in every way.

Merged cells and multi row headers make data processing very difficult. These are best avoided in any sheet doing any computation. Only for reporting they are useful, especially when auto-generated as part if a pivot table. But I have never

At my former company I first naivly tried to get more (non software) technical experts to use python and databases. That was quite an uphil battle, and we quickly pivoted to teach them how to make better use of excel. First and foremost: u

Yep, sounds familiar. When I was a kid I broke one of my front teeth in half my dentist glued it back on saying it would probably not last too long but worth a try anyway. Many years later it broke off again. I didn't have dentist at

I think just about all household trash in the Netherlands is incinerated. And as far as I know the exhoust fumes are manageable, but definitely not something to live next to. Just like any other fossil fuel run powerplant by the way.

Plastic waste should be burned for heat and/or electricity in an incinerator. Every other usage/disposal method seems like a waste to me. Instead of burning fossil fuels directly, we get much more value from them if we first turn

This was a few years ago on a 2015 MBP running Catalina or whatever came before that. My guess is the adaptive bandwidth algorithm acutely switches to a lower bandwidth due to the lag spike, and then slowly recovers in the ten seconds after

I noticed this too when I used steam to stream a game to my laptop over good wifi. Every minute it would stutter for a second. I set up iperf3 tests and noticed the wifi lag increasing every minute between my macbook and my server and betwe

What always bothers me is you can't method chain an in-place apply of some function on a (subset of) columns in an elegant way. Pipe and assign make it possible, but definitely not nice, just look at the example code I think I once pro

Being able to specify the shape of arrays will really help me when typing numeric code. I recently wrote: RotationMatrix_3x3 = npt.NDArray TranslationVector_3x1 = npt.NDArray and that felt kind of gross. But for numpy heavy it
