Many places already have weekly/biweekly pickup for single-stream glass/plastic/paper/aluminum recycling - is there any fundamental reason that batteries couldn't be added to the stream?

If it's not a project under NDA, like another user, I'd be happy to put eyeballs on it and help you work out the errors

Home Depot, believe it or not, has an actually pleasant self checkout experience. No scale whatsoever, access to a handheld barcode scanner, a fast enough machine that you're not sitting there waiting for it all the time, and no robot

In my old house (US) there was an outlet that was setup that way. Two phases plus ground on a bog standard looking 120V outlet. Made the discovery when we plugged a 500W work light into it while renovating and it exploded after a few mi

No, I spelled customer correctly, but thank you for the offer.

Google, institutionally, still seems to have not realized that many users are now customers and not (or at least, in addition to) product. If you are receiving money from somebody, they are your customer, and you have a responsibility to p

It's nuts how much energy server fans can use. I recently picked up an R730xd. By default, a non-Dell-branded PCI-E device will force the fans to ~16000RPM, but there's an IPMI command to disable that and go back to regular, temp

It was also explicitly stated to be a joke. There's really nothing wrong with that.

> PSX load times did really suck; games did things to mask them. It's really highlighted with some of the NES/SNES RPGs that were ported to PS1 - Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 1-6 come to mind. As one particularly egregious

Mystic Quest was my first JRPG...then FF4, Chrono Trigger, and SMRPG - I think in that order? It really kicked off a lifelong love of the genre

FWIW, I can't speak to other operating systems, but with Linux (maybe requiring cooperative hardware? I'm actually not sure) you can configure it to stop charging at a certain % if the charge controller doesn't have reserve.

Other than compiling a bit faster, what ergonomics does Go give you that Rust doesn't?

Yeah, I'm using uBO in both Chrome and Firefox and have yet to have them not work or get a "turn off your adblocker" nag or whatever

> Also, there may be a false sense of productivity. Go is verbose, and you write a lot. Sure if you spend most of your time typing then yes you are productive. But is it high-value productivity? Some more concise languages leave you more

With generics, can you not make a NonNil<T> struct in Go, where the contents of the struct are only a *T that has been checked at construction time to not be nil, and doesn't expose its inner pointer mutably to the public? I wou

This is a good point. I had no idea its hardware requirements were that low.

I agree with your intuition on the latter being more likely. And Google won't care about the minority of power users they lose. They've been outwardly hostile toward power users with Android for years.

Not a truck, but my buddy had an old 300SDL (1984, I think) He would just run whatever in that. I think my favorite was peanut oil, it made the neighborhood smell like Chinese food.

The author called out the newtype solution specifically in the first paragraph: > it could push the task of precondition checking to its caller, and enforce via types (or an assert) that the precondition holds (Emphasis mine)

There's an oddity in that article...the C++ p99.9 is lower than its p99. Am I crazy or should that not be possible?

I'll go work for a different company that laid off other people...unless it was for the same reason. I'm not doing a full-time RTO for any company.

My intuition is that, in addition to what you mentioned and at least for longer flights, some people have residual effects from the mild hypoxia at altitude when they're on the ground in their destination airport. I, at least, sure as

Mutability is a big one for correctness. In Python, any function you pass any (non-primitive) object to might be mutated right out from under you and you have no idea it's happening. In Rust, you have to explicitly provide mutable re

No? Your entire C codebase needs to be thoroughly scruitinized, whereas in Rust, you can build a small portion with unsafe code, thoroughly audit that , and build a sound abstraction on top.

Maybe my understanding is incomplete, but AFAIK the "California gas sucks" thing is just because the highest grade you can find at most pumps there is 91, while we get 93 in a lot of other states Not that it matters when everythin
