This seems both awesome and dangerous. The two analogies that come to mind are home canning and home brewing. They’re both generally safe and easy. But every so often someone gives their family botulism.
A compiler. I mean, yeah, I guess I could go back to writing asm, but I really don’t want to.
This is probably going to get me downvoted to hell and back, but from an electoral standpoint Kamala taking a strong position on Gaza doesn’t matter. Tragic as it is, the median voter and most importantly the few swing voters in the US don’t really care about it. Yes, the majority of Americans disapprove of what Israel is doing and support a cease fire, but it’s just not a high priority. Sure, people who are extremely online and spend lots of time in leftist space care, but the average voter? It’s barely on their radar.
Only 21% of voters even mention it as important. https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3903
Then Diogenes comes rolling through in an RV.
This is the meet cute for a bi rom com, right?
In general, yeah. And if it has a decent cargo setup or a trailer you can leave the solar panels out to charge small things while traveling.
On the down side, you’re relatively slow.
While the priors seemed to suggest it could float, the update step showed that was an outlier.
I’ll show myself the door.
Exactly, the same way I handle all my credentials.
My career path has been pretty straightforward. I went to a state science and engineering university with a starting major in physics but switched to electrical engineering after two years. While there I had a few student jobs at the various campus labs, helping with research projects and doing some simple programming.
After I graduated I got a job at a small nearby observatory where several friends worked. I started by operating and maintaining the telescopes then did some software work to expand our capabilities.
Once my partner graduated, I found a job in the nearby city at a small engineering firm that mostly did subcontracted work for the big defense companies. I split my time there between electrical engineering and embedded software development.
After several years there, I realized that there was no real path forward due to living in one of the big square states so I started looking and found a job with an established Bay Area company through a friend. Since then I’ve worked at a few different companies, from tiny startups to the FAANGS. I’ve generally moved up every couple years and now manage a large team at a mid sized startup. Like most engineers, I’ll probably never be really rich, but always comfortably employed.
There are three things that really helped my career.
College - I know, it’s expensive and such. But even so, it is so worth it. Sure if you get a degree in underwater basket weaving at an expensive private university or it’s probably a financial waste, but STEM degrees are an excellent investment. It’s not just the paper, but the experience, contacts and friends that come from a traditional on-campus in-person university.
Friends - The majority of my jobs, and in particular the ones I’ve needed and enjoyed the most came from friends and colleagues. Make those connections, be a good friend, and good things will happen.
Hobby programming - I started writing code in elementary school in BASIC. Later in college I would experiment with small programs to scratch an itch, learning C++ and Python from books on my own. Those experiences were vital in my ability to learn how to tackle new problems and learn how to execute when I had to.
Bonus point 4) Reading “Getting Things Done” by David Allen. Seriously, learn to plan and execute. Don’t be a flakey “ideas person”, get shit done.
Reporters are people, friend.
If you mean emissions wise, that's really going to depend on the bike. Old two-strokes rocking carbs? Yeah, they're terrible. Modern fuel injected four strokes with cats? Pretty good, actually. And they get better mileage than most hybrids. I get 60mpg on my 900cc Triumph, which is a mid-sized bike by American standards and a big bike by world standards. Smaller bikes and scooters can get over 100mpg.
Do you want your glue traditional or bacon flavored?
I printed a complete set of gridfinity bins for my desk drawer. It’s so much better than the drawer of chaos.
Have you ever actually tried doing it? Yes it works and works well. But damn is it a lot of labor to keep everything growing correctly and to harvest it all.
