FB just put shovels in the ground on a datacenter in Alberta. Bringing a new nat gas plant online nearby but it's a little quicker to bring the DC on than the plant.

Many years ago my wife fell down the stairs and suffered, what turned out to be, a broken fragment of bone that poked into a nerve. It took quite awhile to diagnose it because . Al…

From the article: In an argument that appeared to flabbergast a small claims adjudicator in British Columbia, the airline attempted to distance itself from its own chatbot's bad ad…

Yes, I recall this as well. It didn't pass the smell test to me - probably wineries making up a reason to justify switching to screw caps.

An interesting trick I found here was to ask ChatGPT to produce tables of concept definitions and include a metaphor for each concept to help understanding. It was quite good at co…

Interesting prompts! IME the quality of the answers the users give to the ChatGPT questions in these prompts will make or break the experience. I played around with this use case i…

I thought so too, and thought that removing the sites from Google Search was a bit bullyish, but it looks like the bill specifically targets links in (2)(b). "Making available of n…

> Rust was used primarily because a couple of the founders of the company were Rust experts It's remarkable how significantly the first few months of a project impact the first few…

With nuance, I guess? Depends on the conversation. I'd say that there's more agreement than disagreement. Here 70% of the overdoses are related to drugs cut with unpredictable leve…

One example provided, which I've not fact-checked and might be limited to BC, was that disclosing addiction during a hospital visit opens up a file with child welfare services.

My wife actually asked this of some professionals working in this space yesterday at a local awareness event (she works in community services, unrelated to drug policy). The answer…

FWIW since I started referring to this as poisonings (instead of overdoses) I've found folks to be much more amenable to conversation. Nobody likes the idea of the wicked poisoning…

It depends! FWIW the spots I've used event patterns most often are high write loads that benefit either from fan-in micro-batching before hitting the data stores or polyglot system…

Oh wow, Pandas and sklearn were there - I was able to train a random forest classifier on the iris dataset. That's pretty slick!

It was! They were my urban farming buds. I took care of the PVC, they took care of the pooping, the basil took care of clearing the nitrites out of the water. It was all golden unt…

I set-up an aquaponic system on my front porch a few years ago. My wife was skeptical but I grew some of the finest basil around. Just used a tote filled with goldfish, some PVC pi…

I came for the memory footprint but I stayed with Rust for this. Rust became my daily-driver for hobby projects because refactoring and tinkering with old projects is a breeze. For…

We hit 46 in some parts of Maple Ridge, a suburb of Vancouver. It was brutal - when I hosed the kids off in the back yard some birds parked themselves in the mist and just sat ther…

I wonder if this means that existing customers/products had to stop using the service? If so this might be the first time I recall seeing a cloud vendor flex like this. CTOs of cit…

This is my experience. One part luck, one part upbringing, one part privilege. Both my kids are thoughtful, even tempered, curious, and tenacious. Often they are called "mature" fo…

FWIW I found reading about the process of making respirators quite fascinating. It opened up a whole world of reading about nanofibers and the melt blown process that I'd not previ…

Key factual allegations are described[1] with the summary: "The COVID-19 outbreak has caused hardship in Missouri and across the globe—death, isolation from sick and dying loved on…
