Same here, our high school physics teacher drilled that into our heads and 35 years later I still carry through units or do a separate calculation every time.

At my supermarket the self checkout line is usually mostly young to very young shoppers with just a few items. When you watch them check out they have adapted to the idiosyncrasies of the particular machine and navigate it with few hiccups.

Yeah, agreeed, and I think the BP is a bit lower because I'm warmed up and then rested a bit. My worst BP is in the mornings after getting up and sitting and drinking coffee.

Yeah, I have a machine and unless I take measurements very frequently (different times of day, etc.) it's really hard to make sense of the numbers. You really need to get a long term chart to weed out the noise. I've been getting

This is great, like many others I've dreamed of a device like this. What I really want is a sweeper ahead of my front wheel, though.

Agree that cars in bike lanes is a problem but keeping stuff that punctures my tires during commute is a very high priority for me. Especially in spring and fall so much sharp debris accumulates that it's a major headache for me.

Cool, I have a Selmer 5 digit Mark VI tenor that needs a tune-up. I'm afraid to give it to anyone as it's kind of a collectors item. I'll contact this guy to see what to do or maybe use the instructions to do my own work.

I think we do for the big ones on the Columbia, etc. The small ones that are aging anyway get torn out.

Not to be confused with the dams of "The Klamath Project", which is upstream of these small hydroelectric dams, and is used for irrigation. Also very controversial and pitting fish and tribes against farmers.

I had that problem with the camper chickens (that end up getting eaten by raccoons) and also sometimes additional guests like possums or skunks would enter the coop. In the end I always closed the coop at night manually and let the auto coo

I agree, Portland is making a real effort as are other areas in the Willamette Valley. I actually think the Europe=paradise US=hell storyline is far from any reality I observe. When I go back to Stuttgart Germany, where I grew up I see a lo

I'm all for right-to-repair but if they hate their machines so much why isn't McD addressing the problem?

require replaceable filters, though. I could see that as a tradeoff.

Interesting - the new higher end series doesn't have the second Cortex core. I used the older 15x series a few years back and the selling point was being able to run real-time stuff on the familiar ST Cortex M4 and run Linux on the A c

Lots of variables - where I live there are no traffic jams and I commute by bike. For suburbanites calculating the tradeoff between traffic and heating/cooling individual residences is pretty complex. Similar to what I call the "f

Not that I know of, probably something you'll have to dig into based on your use case. I've used Coverity for static analysis, which is great but pricey. We have a corporate license so no-brainer for me.

Sure, politics plays into it but if you live anywhere in the US outside of inner city a large car is very practical and people want what they want. Also, Americans are willing to spend a lot of their disposable income on cars. Until we pass

Clearly we can have compilers and static analyzers that can catch a lot of what's UB in the standards. To me the only real question is: what should the default be for your compiler? I don't want to be flooded with warnings when I&

It seems to me that at this point there are certain topics that trigger both superstitions and defensive reactions from industry that a totally different funding model is needed. How could we fund proper scientifc research on topics like sw

Zortech C++ was my rig for a good while - great memories. Pharlap is way too intrusive, my guess, to run on current Windows but would be an interesting experiment. Probably any extended/expanded memory thing doesn't work anymore.

Yes, it's pretty great but for some reason I never find the time to learn it properly. I've used it to call directly into .Net assemblies, that was pretty fun and rewarding.

The title of the study is very neutral, as you'd expect from the Lancet, but if I were a reporter I'd headline my piece "Baby simulator makes teenage girls have actual babies". If I were running a program like this in a

One of my coworkers went to Reed where they insisted on students reading the Lattimore translation of the Iliad, so I gave it a try as well. Once I got over the weirdness of the pseudo-Greek language I really liked it. Now it sounds like I

The last two paragraphs are key, reminding us that replacing gluten carries its own health risks.

Just wondering, have you ever worked on something with a longer lifetime than the typical young engineer's job rotation? One thing we run into all the time is awesome quickly iterated things outlasting many people who understand how it

If you use those commands in your local repo to keep the central shared repo clean then yeah, rebase and friends are great.
