Hm, so you'd dispute uHoo's claim of "±20 ppb or ±10% of actual value" for their NO2 sensor?

What kind of air quality monitor is being used here? I've been looking for a good one to purchase for myself, would be good to get one with N02 capability.

How did they stabilize this so fast? I feel like we first heard about this feature only a few months ago. Meanwhile I've been waiting for `let_chains` since what feels like the mid 90s...

Well, the author is already looking at the larger Wordle wordlist, probably using an english dictionary would be more in the 'not cheating' spirit.

This is interesting, you should re-do this analysis using the actual lists of 2000 valid words and 10,000 valid guesses, since it does fairly significantly change the math vs. a normal English dictionary (the word can almost never be plural

I also did this and also got AEROS/UNLIT (well, AROSE/UNTIL in my case). You've made the same minor error I did of looking at the frequency distribution of all guessable wordle words, not the smaller list of possible answe

People never talk about the most important metric for interviews: your target rejection rate . Google and Facebook need to do these interviews because of the number of applicants they get. Any process they design must definitionally reje

This is interesting, but even a brief discussion of selection bias would help it be more convincing. If you pick the most wildly successful mutation out of the thousands of available choices of course it is going to be an outlier in numer

do they not have GPS and the ability to look up airport elevations on a map?

So is this getting us any closer to making a knife I can regularly put in the dishwasher, or are we still limited by the technology of our time?

I love using Rust, but I also get a bit annoyed by the hype. It's absolutely true, for example, that there are highly useful programming patterns that are extremely difficult to express without tools like garbage collection -- includin

I assume you'd also have felt this way about e.g. segregation? An equally controversial issue in its time?

I've lived in the Bay Area for 10 years now -- one thing you should be prepared for is that it can be a very 'transitory' place. The majority of people you will meet have plans to move back home in a few years, so it's h

It's really interesting stuff, although realistically, the situations in which it matters how hard to pick a lock is are pretty rare -- the majority of situations where an evil actor is trying to bypass a lock are ones where they'

Somewhat unrelated, but is Rust `Arc` able to match the performance of Swift reference counting? I know they do a bunch of fancy tricks to embed the reference count into the pointer high bits, it seems like Rust would probably struggle to a

Has any ghost cell stuff gotten closer to production-ready in the last couple months? It seems like it's still pretty early on in its development lifecycle.

Mun is a subset of Rust syntax which supports hot-reloading, I think that could be a good direction to enable this sort of thing for the most frequently-changing business logic.

Being able to embed this inside a rust program for scripting/the ability to tweak behavior at runtime without recompiling could be really cool. Although my dream is still that someone makes an interpreted subset of Rust itself.

The greatest thing about books is that they are easier to read in bright sunlight. I wish we could crack that problem for computer screens, even really bright screens like the iPad essentially must be used in a very shady environment.

I've love to see this for open source, especially integrated into GitHub. A simple "click here to contribute" button could really lower the barrier to entry for first-timers.

I have been using Evoluent vertical mice for years, they have 3 buttons + scroll wheel. I find the vertical orientation more ergonomic as well, it keeps your wrist neutral.

Do you not think there is a difference between 'you should follow my religion' and e.g. 'you should use neutral pronouns to make other people more comfortable?' The later isn't about some fundamental belief, it&#x27

Are there any ad blockers for iOS that can block ads in google search results? Or is that kind of thing essentially impossible?

This type of state is typically used for "interface state", e.g. "is this toggled open", "which menu item is selected", etc. It's definitely normal to combine that with a 'database' style model l

I'm not precisely sure this where the article's text contains a well-supported legal argument about why the mandate is unconstitutional -- in fact I don't believe there's any discussion at all of the relevant statutes &a

It's funny you say this, because I think everyone would actually agree that I have a strong First Amendment free speech right to tell you what to do with your body. Similarly, businesses and institutions have a First Amendment right

Very nice! I think there could definitely be a market for a nice scripting language that natively integrates with Rust and doesn't require crazy huge compile times, the way Lua is used in game engines.

.chars() iterates over unicode scalar values, not actual grapheme clusters, so this code would also be incorrect in many circumstances. Ultimately it is incumbent on the developer to understand what their actual unicode-processing requireme
