Washing dishes with the machine actually tends to save quite a lot of water, as long as you actually fill the machine.
The clear Nalgenes are polycarbonate, but the opaque ones (sold as "Ultralite Bottle" on their website) are made of HDPE
In my experience (admittedly limited) you include the assembly in the compile step. Your linker hopefully puts everything together so you can talk to yourself
Tall with large head here, works pretty consistently for me
This is a super interesting concept and I'd never heard of it. Thanks for linking!
As an outlier more towards the other end, my weight tends to fall if I go below about 2500 kcal/day
> NaN is unordered: it is not equal to, greater than, or less than anything, including itself. x == x is false if the value of x is NaN [0]
My read of this is that comparisons involving NaN on either side always evaluate to false.
In the first one if X or Y is NaN then you'll get do_something_else, and in the second one you'll get do_something.
As far as why one order would be more optimal than the other, I'm not sure. Maybe something to do with branch prediction?

I believe that was SCP-055
As an embedded C developer, I'm interested. What do you recommend looking into as other "low level, non garbage collected" options?
Blindsight has been one of my favorite books from my first picking it up. Watts is such a compelling author!
It looks like Blindsight is also still available for free on the author's website [1].

On the amateur radio side you see both types mixing in pretty amusing ways. On the one hand there's contesters and dx-ers that are all about confirming contacts as fast as they can, and on the other there's more casual people that'll talk about anything and everything that comes to mind. In my experience both sides use some amount of procdural language, but at very different cadences.
Do you have any good sources for places to start learining powershell? I'm pretty comfortable in bash, but powershell scares me.
I only have two tech-realted books on paper:
- Microwave Transistor Amplifiers by Guillermo Gonzalez, which is a fantastic introduction and reference about high frequency circuit design
- The O'Reilly Linux Pocket guide, which has a cowboy on the cover and usually gets loaned to coworkers
Aside from that I've got a ton of sci-fi and high fantasy, but I'm slowly moving to a digital collection.
Is SICP worth reading? I keep hearing about it, but it seems like it's mostly a resource for learning lisp. Is that not the case?
It can be a bit of a gotcha when trying to share your work with others. They'll have to clone with --recursive or the submodules will come up as empty folders for them.
> I was reprimanded the other day, by management because I said in a presentation "I don't know"
Maybe it's because I'm still in the junior / recent-grad mindset, but my experience has been the opposite.
The most striking difference for me between academia and industry is that now it's okay to not know things. In academia you're expected to have the answers and be able to reproduce them on tests and things; in industry it seems much more acceptable to admit ignorance so long as you plan on eventually getting an answer.
I've only ever seen female B connectors on peripherals. Do they make motherboards that have them?
Thanks for all your hard work! We used this constantly at $oldjob and it saved us a ton of time and effort.
