FB just put shovels in the ground on a datacenter in Alberta. Bringing a new nat gas plant online nearby but it's a little quicker to bring the DC on than the plant.

Many years ago my wife fell down the stairs and suffered, what turned out to be, a broken fragment of bone that poked into a nerve. It took quite awhile to diagnose it because <medicine is hard>. Along that journey to diagnosis she wa

Yes, I recall this as well. It didn't pass the smell test to me - probably wineries making up a reason to justify switching to screw caps.

An interesting trick I found here was to ask ChatGPT to produce tables of concept definitions and include a metaphor for each concept to help understanding. It was quite good at coming up with metaphors and that actually felt kind of magica

Interesting prompts! IME the quality of the answers the users give to the ChatGPT questions in these prompts will make or break the experience. I played around with this use case in the spring when my teenage daughter was looking for extra

With nuance, I guess? Depends on the conversation. I'd say that there's more agreement than disagreement. Here 70% of the overdoses are related to drugs cut with unpredictable levels of fentanyl. I'd say I've seen consen

One example provided, which I've not fact-checked and might be limited to BC, was that disclosing addiction during a hospital visit opens up a file with child welfare services.

My wife actually asked this of some professionals working in this space yesterday at a local awareness event (she works in community services, unrelated to drug policy). The answer (paraphrased) was it doesn't directly stop the poisoni

FWIW since I started referring to this as poisonings (instead of overdoses) I've found folks to be much more amenable to conversation. Nobody likes the idea of the wicked poisoning the vulnerable.

It depends! FWIW the spots I've used event patterns most often are high write loads that benefit either from fan-in micro-batching before hitting the data stores or polyglot systems where a client/system event need to fan-out to m

Oh wow, Pandas and sklearn were there - I was able to train a random forest classifier on the iris dataset. That's pretty slick!

It was! They were my urban farming buds. I took care of the PVC, they took care of the pooping, the basil took care of clearing the nitrites out of the water. It was all golden until that masked bandit struck. Now I live out of town - I&#x2

I set-up an aquaponic system on my front porch a few years ago. My wife was skeptical but I grew some of the finest basil around. Just used a tote filled with goldfish, some PVC piping, and a pump. Unfortunately one evening the raccoons fig

I came for the memory footprint but I stayed with Rust for this. Rust became my daily-driver for hobby projects because refactoring and tinkering with old projects is a breeze. For me, Rust projects don't seem to require much cognitive

We hit 46 in some parts of Maple Ridge, a suburb of Vancouver. It was brutal - when I hosed the kids off in the back yard some birds parked themselves in the mist and just sat there with open beaks. It's cooled back down now.

This is my experience. One part luck, one part upbringing, one part privilege. Both my kids are thoughtful, even tempered, curious, and tenacious. Often they are called "mature" for their ages (8/11). Such is not a descriptio

Italy also appears to have suffered from tragic public health errors. Apparently they moved covid-19 infected patients around. First to other hospitals that had not yet had outbreaks and then into empty beds at long-term care facilities. h
