I’m not quite getting it. Would you be willing to explain it using a toy example?

I believe people have found ways to reduce drag with lasers and microwaves so you might be on to something.

It could be a new type of scram jet, right? A normal jet engine has to slow down supersonic air to subsonic to combust it which is inefficient.

We should consider using this on Venus or mercury.

I’m a huge climate person. I come from ancestors that laid down the early climate change work. But This methodology seems kind whacky. I think this kind of thing hurts our credibility in the long run.

I remember an interview with a startup where I couldn’t figure out what their product was and they got more and more annoyed with my questions.

I ended up with something with the cloud.

Besides that you actually want your unit to struggle a little in order to have enough run time to control humidity.

It’s actually a problem if you have an overpowered system.

I found tower fans are a game changer. They are fairly quiet and move a lot of air.

I prefer them to ceiling fans plus no installation and you can keep them when you move.

"Extract this to a separate function please"

This sounds really bad. Even if you’re their boss. You’re dealing with professionals and part of that is considering their input.

I’d start with the assumption that they know what they’re doing and might have had a good reason and phrase it from there. Even if not true it sets the right tone of respect.

Why not just use multi processing?

GOOD Point by my wife! Why can’t we have a blower on a belt to accomplish most of the sorting? Plastics blow one way and glass stays on the belt. Throw in a magnet and make eddy currents to trap metals.

How about any company that’s worried about it’s code being copied submits a copy for copilot to check against. If copilot generates any of that code it just doesn’t output it.

What are some good ones that work for common people?

I’ve never used it but I imagine it would help a lot with the programmers equivalency of writers block.

How smart is SQLite at detecting column types from Csv data?

I once wrote a Python script to load csv files into SQLite. It had a whole hierarchy of rules to determine the data type of each column.

Do you still need a Facebook account?

You’d think there would be a plausible hormesis explanation for the benefits of moderate alcohol intake.

Lots of systems in the body work this way. Eg we grow our muscles by literally damaging them and having them grow back stronger.

FYI it’s actually all news. It’s just that you know some science and recognize it more there.

IMO it’s not a good idea. I feel like I hurt my reading comprehension and enjoyment by learning speed reading techniques.

Now the temptation is always there to speed up on a few paragraphs and it’s hard not to.

But that 10kw isn’t going directly into your house. The attic is designed to vent the air and let that hot air escape.

Thanks. But I’m trying to figure out how they do that.

Could this be useful in electric cars? I know they spend a lot on heating the cabin.

What’s the breakthrough on the tech old level? What did they discover?

How to find the best probiotics?

If you space them out enough you wouldn’t have huge areas of no sun. It would emulate an ecosystem of water under shade trees. Shade actually attracts a lot of biodiversity.

Welcome to the culture war?

Whatever happened to “Hey, I have some apples, would you like to buy them?” “Yes, thank you!” That’s as complicated as it should be to open a business in this country.

Would it be possible to 3d print with this? That could be a game changer.

Good advice in general but it’s worth reading to see what confounders they tried to correct for. There’s still information to be gleaned.

This part caught my eye:

A stronger association between glucosamine use and decreased lung cancer risk was observed in participants with a family history of lung cancer when compared with those without a family history.

How many of these are essential amino acids though?
