This is having a direct impact on my wellbeing. I was at Whole Foods in Hudson Yards NYC and I couldn’t get the prime discount on my chocolate bar because the system isn’t working.…

Yes

Right. Aside from declining GDP per capita, way too much immigration, a housing crisis and wage stagnation things are going great!

Education centre seems like a strange choice given that it’s in the middle of nowhere…

Yeah I’m not sure I agree with that statement either…

This is a bit like saying you cheat on tests by studying…

I don’t see how this challenges the CICO argument at all. Weight gain is just a function of calories absorbed and calories burned. You can dig into the details of what those two nu…

In aggregate, employees make a company money. That much is trivially true. At the individual level, one can be a net gain, net loss, or breakeven. I often wonder how skewed this di…

True, that’s pretty common in industrial and commercial settings as well. Though here I’m thinking more in terms of a residential setting. Relying on a secondary fluid loop would l…

So it’s a solid and it melts, absorbing heat, then it must turn back into a solid, releasing heat. I’m curious to see how they move the solid back to where it started to complete t…

New refrigerants will make a big difference here. The main theoretical restriction is the pressure delta required to go from a low enough pressure to transfer heat into the system …

COP vs. efficiency. In the case of a heat pump, it takes 1 kW to “move” 3 kW of heat, rather than turning 1 kW into 3 kW.

SBF more or less admitted in the leaked Twitter DMs that the “effective altruism” was just PR (surprising no one, I hope)

Kagi has been great for me

I’m not sure why, but I have a feeling that, long term, this won’t turn out as poorly as everyone thinks.

I think there are a lot of people that would. Are they the people that twitter actually needs? I’m not sure. But there are people that would. Some of them are in this thread.

Well he was dumb enough to post a bunch of lies and nonsense to Twitter the last couple days…

One day when you’re all grown up you’ll understand that people valuing different things than you doesn’t mean they’re idiots.

Works fine for me on iOS 16

It brings predictability because know you won’t run out of memory. If everything is statically allocated, the total amount of memory the application will use is known at compile ti…

My rate is 165 USD/hr, but I’ll drop it as low as 135 for a long contract (6 months+). I do custom software for the refrigeration industry (mostly simulations, sensor data logging,…

You will get better pretty quickly if you keep at it. Hopefully you live near a place where you have a bit of elevation gain for your hikes. Another thing that I’ve found helps a l…
