Ahh, I was focusing on residential energy (the cost borne by most of the people in Texas), which is up 25% per that source. The bulk and stability of industrial power is keeping prices down in aggregate. [{"series_id":"ELEC.

My wife dropped a small mint for darn tough socks like three years ago as a father's day gift. It's been delightful.

Great product, put it in my RAV4 Prime and it just works. Makes my Bolt EUV super cruise look poor in comparison.

The Texas A&M sci-fi convention mentioned in the article is coming up in early February. You can bounce over to Cushing library to check out the collection, including a copy of Fahrenheit 451 in an asbestos zipper case (obviously, you

At least put a patron link on there or something, so people can have a legitimate way to pay for the cost associated with running the website. Perhaps make a suggested amount of 10% of the savings. This gives you a obvious profit motive, a

This comment combined with a recent reflection on the ‘irony of automation’ makes me worried that the product I’m building to make life easier will instead lead to loss of craft, pride, and ingenuity. Honestly, still processing through it t

I hate to ask this question.... but I've moved to a python shop after working in the tidyverse for years, and am unimpressed with the DAG visualization capabilities. Does anyone have any recommendations for 1,000 plus node DAGs? I sti

I think these are more like EV boosted hybrids that’ll gas savers… though the Chevy will do much better in traffic with a few miles of energy stored up.

You may benefit from polars, it can multi-core better than pandas, and has some of the niceties from Arrow (which was the written / championed by the power duo of Wes and Hadley, authors of pandas and the R - tidyverse respectively).

There is a concept in manufacturing called the andon cord (a button / pull that activates a claxon and stops the line). Once the line stops, everyone swarms the problem and works on a fix. Toyota in the 80s pioneered its use and then

That was cute and a little magical. I may build one with my 8yr this winter break. One suggestion - it looks like you could have a standard 'learn the cube' program where the webcam is off to one side of the robot, to remove that
