Also definitely look into ventless dryers - while not as quick as a vented one, the heat pump versions have come a long way from the classic condenser styles of the past.

Efficiency and power are not equivalent. All you need to do is look at the most powerful (hp per liter) cars and the exhaust systems they use for proof.

"sleep training a baby that's ~20 years old" this book sounds hilarious

I hope you can take a step back and understand how wild it is that carrying a plastic card in your pocket for 2 minutes while you exit your building and hand it to pretty much anyone is too "inconvenient" and you'd rather throw away the $$.

I was hoping he'd take the module out and open it up to see what was fried/malfunctioning inside.

Yes. A lot of people are being affected by his poor choices and a lot of people are watching said outcomes play out. This means there will be a significant number of people writing about it.

My anecdotal experience is that none of the ~10 or so pro-Charter School people I know are in the bottom 30% of incomes (even talking about bottom 30% of my network). Most of them reference the curriculum and their objections, whether from religious beliefs, pseudoscience, or similar. Others planned to send their kids to private school anyways and want to save money.

If you know anything about building a house you'll know that; 1) not everything shitty is visible, and 2) not everything shitty can be understood by homeowners, otherwise we'd need no codes/minimums (we'd all be perfect architects/building scientists/craftspeople).

I could get behind removing almost all zoning, but code is just sensible.

Bingo. As someone who started a brick and mortar business that is tied to our home, the financial failure would have very real impacts on us, regardless of having an LLC.

$2k is $10k at a 5 year loan (+ ongoing!), so a considerable part of the economic equation for most car buyers (avg US car purchase is $47k).

As an outsider, I think the conversation went off the rails here when you assumed the OP wasn't "going to connect with the article" based on their comment. This is now the 2nd time w/o reason you're implying that, whereas the OP is talking about general implications of the word choice (on the author and on people in general, not on people's emotional state while reading it).

CEOs?

More likely to be a tech lead in those cases, or to be helping hold the project together while they are hiring a full time resource. Also in certain cases the companies are so far from ideal states that a lot of good can be done in 6 months. Overall, I agree that most times it won't make sense for a company to plan on switching dev managers or tech leads after < 6 months, but again that assumes ideal conditions or options.

Dev Manager or Tech Lead - $150/hr for longer (3+ week) engagements, $225/hr for shorter ones. Focus is generally optimizing delivery + quality, which can take the form of anything from requirements gathering processes to testing pipelines or rebuilding trust. Fully remote in Maine.

I don't have any research to back this up, but it's possible that framing it as being more focused on less interesting work rather than "productive" helps clarify what might cause it. When we are well rested, our brains are functioning at a higher level, which includes spending energy making micro decisions about how important things are, what the priority is, what work is related to what you are currently looking at, and so on. When over tired, our bodies exert less energy on non critical processes, which might mean not overanalyzing or being distracted away from a task you'd rather not have to do.

So getting certain work done is easier when tired, but productivity would arguably include doing the "right" thing, mapping the right information together, and so on, which you'd want to be better rested for.

Curious to hear if you agree on the productivity vs focus clarification, or if you feel like you're truly more productive in the sense that you do some of your best work (greatest ideas, executed efficiently, with minimal errors) when tired?

Maybe I'm in the minority, but my issues with apologies from CEOs or companies is that they are generally lacking action or avoiding accountability. In this case, the apology like any somewhat genuine one adds to the note. It's the difference between "Sorry we lost your data." and "We have taken the following significant actions to make sure this never happens again, and have provided the following services and/or compensation to make it right to you. We are sorry."

And I'm someone who generally finds Musk hard to like.

#1 is pretty rough especially as this is the summer w/o frost heaves. That is also from Aug 2019 and it's now 2022.

Separately, but related, I have always found it interesting that no one tries to calculate the wear on vehicles for things like bad roads, salt use, etc. Bending a wheel, accelerating suspension breakdown, and other issues from bad roads could easily outweigh some arguable savings of waiting longer. I'd rather push for adding less roads, allowing some paved roads to become dirt roads where low traffic weights & #s exist, and better maintenance of the remaining ones.

Today, or since 1970ish? https://www.bgsu.edu/content/dam/BGSU/college-of-arts-and-sc...

Your link does not claim that. In fact, their study specifically states: "We only had repeated screen-time and behavior data available for a sub-sample of our cohort (n = 367) which limited our ability to determine directionality. As such, it is possible parents may respond to children who exhibit externalizing behavior difficulties by offering more screen-time or using increased opportunity for screen-time as a self-soothing strategy. "

Yes I'm more likely to let Apple off for not training enough "people with a leafy backdrop" than "people with different colored skin" into their ML.

Are you implying that aphantasia is treatable by practice visualizing things? My own experience with it and everything I've seen (no pun intended) says otherwise, but I'm happy to read a good source of reasoning around your theory.

I scrolled thru the last 2 years, and honestly I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Too much profit? Sure. I don't think the boosters are going to be what solidifies that issue for corporations though..

Some timing issue with selling? I don't see it.

Note the other child comments of this; NPM has failed to make the lockfile reliable across systems and versions. Here's an example from March that isn't fixed: https://github.com/npm/cli/issues/2846

The fact that you have so many people believing "nuke node_modules and delete package-lock.json" is a reasonable step in diagnosing an error is damning to NPM.

We don't check in our node_modules, but "use the lockfile" is not a valid counter to this article's points.

Where can I make 150-200k/year in federal IT?

The average room takes 2 loads of laundry, which would be in the neighborhood of 10kw of electricity. 1 gallon of gas represents the same energy (ignoring losses) as 33kw.

The average 2017 car in the US got 25mpg. So with a 15+mpg difference, you'd need to either drive 5 miles or less per day (0.3g difference), OR average 100 miles per day and have the hotels wash the laundry 20x as much.

Shhh this conference is terrible and no one should consider going. <3

Violence against the institutions isn't great, but can you honestly not see the difference between; - 1983, goal: end war in Grenada via terror/threat, action: set bomb off at 11pm (0 deaths, 0 injuries) - 2021, goal: keep former President in office after losing election, kill VP, kill Speaker of House, action: storm capitol (5 deaths, over 100 injuries), bonus: incited by sitting President

I have my problems with Facebook, but Parler didn't even TRY to keep violence inciting content away. Their solution at the very end was to hope some people would volunteer. That's simply not enough. Facebook doesn't do ENOUGH, but you can at least tell they're trying.

This assumes that the states that fund pensions and "bureaucracy" (which is a term that often is used for gov spending regardless of efficiency) are not desirable places to live in general (sometimes as a result of spending). As a separate point, California doesn't even hit the top 20 states by per capita spending. [1]

Sure it's a figure of speech, but especially in a time with record unemployment, food insecurity surrounding remote schooling, and fiscal uncertainty, it's not exactly the best choice of words.

Also, the reference to "doing what's best for his family" is often used to describe making ends meat, not making sure 30M a year doesn't become only 10M a year.

I think having both phrases in one comment made people rightfully see it as a bit strange (hence the response) given he's a multimillionaire.
