After spending a few months with chatgpt I'm skeptical. It's pretty stupid, more likely to be respond with inaccurate hallucinations than reliable output. It's most useful when I outside of my typical comfort zone and precisely where I'm least able to judge the quality of its response.

The tech doesn't understand logic and I think most knowledge workers need that.

Yes! It could be more expensive too, the real kicker is utility costs and how cold your climate gets.

I actually used https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-cli... for my city to develop a model for the cost of btus from either method throughout the year and the heat pumps cope at that hourly temperature, and it was slightly cheaper for heat pump for the entire year. But I also live in a marine influenced climate in the west with low electricity rates.

I just think the cover letter is a byzantine chore that's easily faked. Not a real signal that the candidate is a good one.

To your point "in the interview...", I think hammers home the post's key point that the real process is the interview. Everything else is just to get you there.

ChatGpt I need a cover letter for a startup. Here is the plaintext contents of their website...

It's not that it's more energy efficient than AC per se, just that running it in reverse to move heat into your house is much more energy efficient than using electricity to generate heat compared to electric resistance heat.

Relative to gas, it's going to be competitive when the ambient outdoor temperature is > 40 degree Fahrenheit, but probably more expensive depending on utility rates where you live.

They are qualitatively different because the rocket can traverse that amount of space scalably. The chairs cannot.

Care to walk us through that?

Having worked in data in many different environments including market research, Fortune 100, unicorn startups I beg to differ.

To be fair, as a DE I feel no different than the post author. I build pipes that might as well be going to /dev/null

I relate very much to this. In particular the well intended but ignorant suggestions.. I think it's often hard for most people to truly appreciate a problem they don't have.

Also keyboards, clothing and furniture.

One of my peeves with fargate is it only supports volumes on EFS.

My wife is 2nd generation. Her father once asked "What's Latinx?"

He thought the notion that Latin grammar had become politically incorrect as absolutely insane and offensive.

While well meaning, I believe a lot of the ideas in vogue with the identity movement is harmful to the cause of equity and inclusion. It just doesn't sell to working class people regardless of their cultural background. Which is an impediment to obtaining the political power needed to create actual change beyond arguing about the right words to use.

As someone who was in a service role and subject to an opt in post interaction survey, I don't believe systems like this are effective. They select for Karens with unreasonable demands. They use the survey to retaliate against the employee by leaving bad scores.

Funny noticing this same post pattern by Mother Duck in other threads. It's not a good look.

Snowflake at it's most basic is SQL on cloud vms, anyone comfortable with SQL should feel at home there. That said, there are many Snowflake specific features that may take a bit to become familiar with. Just off the top of my head:

- hybrid RBAC, DAC, ABAC security model - column, row level, and tag based access policies - multi-account organizations - cross-account and region data replication - data shares - external tables and specialized formats (iceberg, delta) - pipes and streams - snowpark API - streamlit integration

Gnome has really surprised me (in a good way). I was really just looking to have a better dev experience since I use containers so extensively. But the UI is really pleasant to look at and intuitive. I particularly enjoy not having to disable ads and other nuisances that Microsoft keeps throwing onto the pile.

After years of thinking "wsl2 is enough for me", I switched to fedora as an experiment and I have not looked back once.

This is precisely why I hate my job so much right now.

Any language I tried to pick up just to learn for is own sake never went anywhere. The stuff I just started running with a new project or job... Still use those today.

The norm is 6-12 weeks in my experience. I have never heard of 104. I think that's unusual.

The problem is overwhelmingly about land value being propped up by nimby restrictive building policies.

I wonder how many of the commenters shrieking exploitation are gladly devoting their abilities to creating more invasive tracking and ad tech.

It's interesting how the nutrition "scientists" are essentially blindsided by this. It makes you wonder.

I don't understand why some people hate teraform so much.

Terragrunt is an antipattern. Made the mistake once with a very poorly structured project I inherited, never again.

I think you misunderstand my criticism. It's not that vitrification can't be done, its that efforts in the US to perform it are behind schedule and woefully inadequate to process the existing waste in US in a timely manner, let alone the waste from numerous additional plants. Despite decades of pubic debate, billions spent, we still cannot agree on where to put it.

Plans to vitrify waste at Hanford are only barely reaching operation, more than a decade behind schedule. The plant won't be able to process all the waste on site when running at capacity until after 2100.

Meanwhile 56 million gallons of high grade waste is slowly seeping into the water table of the Columbia River basin.

My problem is with the lack of success in this area towards competently reducing risk and sequestering waste. It hardly seems like a solved problem when we our concrete implementation of a solution has yet to arrive.

My problem with nuclear is the lack of a solution for waste. Geologic sequestration sounds like it could work, but it has been politically dead in water in the US. There are few success stories in this category internationally and lots of little nuclear waste depots. Some pose catastrophic risks to the communities they are stored in. The clean up efforts at these sites are often endless feast for government contractors way behind, insanely over budget.

I want to see modular reactors succeed, but the prospect of more nuclear waste depots with no long term plan in the US comes of to me as brazenly irresponsible.

I think any system is susceptible to problems like this if the underlying hardware becomes unavailable. Using dynambodb to obtain locks on s3 is a pretty common pattern in AWS development. This has more to do with AWS than Terraform.
