I fucking hate when small businesses do this. Why not push for transition funding instead?
A local coffee shop in my city is telling everyone that upzoning is bad across the board because if their neighborhood gets upzoned, their landlord would sell. They'll happily try to tank massive progress instead of trying to work with it.
They're funded by a parent organization with a crypto coin, and they explicitly state hosting AI models as one of their main goals. No thanks.
You can't have your entire system configuration in a repository of plain text files, which has lots of advantages, but it's not worth caring about unless you feel excited to get into it.
Lol what a clusterfuck. These guys are dolts.
My experience in the US is that as soon as you leave a densely populated area, the good, interesting food options drop off a cliff. In car dependent suburbia, these are often the best they have
They sued one specific switch emulator.
COP is the ratio of moved heat to electricity used. Modern air-to-air heat pumps can maintain a COP of 2.5 or more below 5 def F. The 2.5 COP is important because it's the efficiency cutoff where, above that, even using methane (natural gas) to generate electricity, send that electricity to the home, and use that electricity to power a heat pump, you will use less methane than you would if you burned it directly for heat in your home.
A COP greater than 1 will still be better than resistive heat, and many modern heat pumps can maintain a COP above 1 well below 0 deg F.
Now, wherever you live, methane could be subsidized for homeowners, so the direct costs to the homeowner don't pencil out directly at the 2.5 COP cutoff, but that's no longer a question about efficiency, but around local government not correctly pricing methane.
EDIT: there was a week in January where it stayed below -10 deg F where I live, and my heat pump kept my apartment at 70 deg F with no issues, and only needed to run 27% of the time.
Not really. The Taliban took control of .af a while ago. It wasn't them taking control that broke things, it was that they specifically targeted certain domains and took them down using control they had secured previously, with queer.af being a great example.
I do scientific computing and I've used Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, and NixOS for work.
Any and all of these can do what you need. Hell, you could probably throw your whole development environment into a docker container and use it anywhere. Pick one and go with it.
That said, here are my preferences:
Right now, I really like NixOS and Nix for development environments, but it's a lot to learn, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you were really excited to try it.
Before NixOS, I used Arch on my laptop, and it was soooo nice to be able to build my own desktop environment just the way I wanted it from the ground up, which is possible on any distribution, but the Arch documentation makes this much more approachable. If you are happy with KDE Plasma or Gnome, and you're using well-supported hardware, then I wouldn't say Arch is really worth the time (unless you're excited to play with it).
Fedora and Nobara (a Fedora-based distribution with a lot of gaming-focused presets) have been a breath of fresh air coming off the heels of painstakingly setting up Arch and then NixOS. Fedora is pretty nice out of the box and Nobara has been the best experience of going from zero to gaming even when compared to Windows.
Debian (especially Debian 12) has been fantastic for servers and for machines that don't need to use the newest hardware. It's still my go-to for lots of things.
Ubuntu is fine, but Canonical, the company that makes it, has made some unfortunate choices lately, and with Debian 12 being as good as it is, I don't think I'll ever have a reason to go back.
Side note: One thing to look out for in the near future is System76's COSMIC desktop environment, which seems to be doing a lot of things right. There is already active development to get it working on NixOS, and I'm sure it will be available on Pop!OS from the start. I would also bet that it would be ready to go on Arch not long after. It will likely eventually be easy to install on all distributions, but if you want to try that out as soon as it's ready, one of those three would be a good option.
I know it's not nearly as nested as this, but nesting in Rust annoys the hell out of me.
impl {
fn {
for {
match {
case => {
}
}
}
}
}
is something I've run into a few times
One of my favorite examples is bite mark analysis. If you follow the references in studies, they all say that they point to experimental evidence, but the bottom just falls out and there's nothing but some claims that some guy thought it's possible.
The Obama administration actually started a National Commission on Forensic Science that made lots of great recommendations for how to fix most of the problems with forensic science. Of course, the courts and the cops didn't like that they had to throw away precedent for tools they could use to convict people, and the Trump administration dissolved the commission, so it got put on the back burner. Hopefully it will be taken up again soon.
