Well it’s a matter of friction. Clion gives you the same information but for each item in the chain you have to click on it bunches. In Sourcetrail you mouse over the symbol and click once. And it exposes the dependencies graphically so you can see who uses it. I hardly use that function in Clion but I use it all the time in Sourcetrail because the way it’s presented is easier for me to read and understand.

I was able to use it to trace causality because the code base I used it for was simple enough that given the relationships between each variable and function call I was able to construct the call graph for a particular set of inputs myself.

Yeah I read they’re going to have the solar cells print their own supports out of lignin.

That’s effectively what Sourcetrail/Coati does in C/C++. Coati was super-helpful for me many years ago when I had to dissect and analyze some crappy vendor code. It also helped me get up to speed on a bunch of C++ spaghetti code on the same project. They hit the nail on the head with their tool and I’ve been using it off and on ever since. I’m actually wondering now if it could be used to analyze Yocto project dependencies and build steps.

Google is giving out free samples that it’s representing as full service.

The forecasts for the US at forecast.weather.gov are really good too. I constantly refer to the hourly precipitation charts to figure out how much rain gear I should hike with, and their temperature predictions are useful too. Plus if they have any warnings or watches it’s helpful. It’s much better than any of the paid services out there.

That’s actually what we’re doing in my state.

QNX RTOS uses netbsd userspace applications, actually. And a lot of the drivers in QNX are from NetBSD. It’s more properly a “microkernel” which means the drivers run as userspace applications with a defined interface to the kernel for memory maps to underlying hardware.

It wasn’t physical attractiveness at all, but rather that older people on dating apps tended to be bad people. They had personality defects and bad attitudes.

What age bracket did you fall into at the time? I’ve found from talking to various people that dating apps like Tinder are great if you’re young but turn into a horror show after about 35.

I think there’s a winnowing effect as you age out of the app. So it may not be that they’re all bad or good but rather that you have to seek your audience elsewhere as you age out of the apps. I think this is probably true for anyone looking for a relationship.

Well for starters it’s a tiny sample.

At my school volunteers were recruited for course credit. So it could be due to the elation of getting it over with.

I could also argue that the effect is due to the excitement of participating in a study. If the declared interest of the students is Psychology they might simply be excited to do the study.

There may also be a novelty component where the change in routine produces arousal.

My wife worked selling cell phones for a while. Apparently there are a huge number of older people who don’t understand that just because they put the email on the form that doesn’t mean they own the email address.

That would only be a reasonable analogy if the electricians did all their work in one facility for one company. One can argue that Google is the employer in this case because the contractors have never worked for Modis in the same capacity in any other facility. Trade contractors ply their trade for many different clients on different projects. It’s distinguishable from this type of arrangement.

The “contractors” in question here have a supervisor at Google, and the pay they receive is from Google via Modis. If Modis didn’t exist to be the contracting party the employees would be indistinguishable from full time employees under Google’s employ. Arguing that the contracting relationship is all that is needed to justify this is like arguing that I can form an LLC to hold my assets and receive my salary to avoid personal income tax.

Yeah we have a similar problem where I live with giant hornets. They came here through shipping and now I suspect we’ll never be rid of them. Himalayan Blackberry also comes from a farmer importing plants to grow without considering that birds would distribute the seeds. It’s so pernicious here that you have to patrol your property for it and remove it monthly. New shoots can sickly take over an area. One shoot I saw had climbed 30 feet into the canopy of one of our red cedar trees.

Agricultural exports are very dangerous if not handled carefully.

This was the original application of Air Conditioning: to reduce the humidity of air inside a building.

I’ve looked into this myself and you should be careful planting “meadow mix.” Make sure the listed seeds are not invasive species. Otherwise you’ll potentially be introducing noxious weeds into your yard.

Slippery slope is often a logical fallacy.

Feather blades completely destroy my skin. I break out and bleed from small micro-cuts on my face. I’ve found they’re too sharp for me.

There’s no one-size fits all solution here.

As an added bonus water doesn’t destroy laser prints like it does inkjet prints. I bought a color laser many years ago to print topographical maps when I go into the backcountry because they don’t get damaged when I have to take them out of the ziploc bag I use as a map case. Anything printed with ink gets ruined.

Yeah it’s impossible to get any government aid without a permanent address that is not General Delivery at a post office. Housing is not just about keeping a roof over your head. For people who are already reliant on welfare and unemployment it’s the difference between being on the dole and losing everything.

We didn’t have any trouble borrowing absurd amounts of money in the past to fight wars and build border walls. WWII was paid for in large part with US government debt. Debt can be a useful tool for getting out of a bad situation. The only difference I see here is that we’re unwilling to borrow to make life easier for the 95% of people who live tenuously within the bounds of ordinary life. And when we stop helping them everyone suffers.

Especially so with that image of Broward County Sheriffs arresting someone “alleged” to be on Flakka. There’s not really any substantive or scientific interviews from doctors, EMTs, or the actual recreational users themselves. Just an anecdote about a murderer who may or may not have taken it beforehand and some pithy quotes. The fact is that recreational drugs get re-labeled all the time. For example a lot of “MDMA” is really just meth or research chemicals. The only people who really know what that kid took are the doctors. You’d have to test the substance to classify it.

It’s actually quite intuitive, as the force is distributed over a larger area. So although the pressure gradient isn’t affected by the discontinuity in the container size, if you compare forces exerted by the pressure on a plate in either section of the chamber you’ll observe that the force on the wider plate would be reduced to compensate for the increased area in the presence of the same pressure.

use English; is handy for making the special global variables something you can actually google search.

Depends. If you’re a framer they just want to know if you have tools and when you can start. If you’re a lead it’s important to know stuff like how to square a foundation and calculate stair risers and hips/valleys, and you should be familiar with different hardware and where it goes. But nobody is going to ask you about which cracker-jack spec houses you built at your last job.

You don’t have to dig up the entire line to find a break. This is a common misconception. Signal reflection can be used to determine the distance to a break.

Another commenter on a different story shared a dutch proverb that’s appropriate here: reputation arrives on its feet and leaves on a horse.

This wouldn’t work, because a person’s intent matters for many crimes.

Yeah, you need ME to do any useful things in the real world. Like try repeatedly making the same robot without any MEs on your team.

awa = away, sae = so

He’s saying the mouse needn’t leave so quickly.
