I'm completely out of shape and don't exercise at all, but commuted to work on a bike when my workplace was ~5 miles away. Wasn't hard at all and only took a little longer than a car. Had a rack on the back and bags to pick up groceries too. If you need carry a lot of heavy tools every day, it obviously wouldn't be ideal. Even then a bicycle trailer could be used up to something like 100lbs.
Used it for a ML MOOC a long time ago. Switched to Python/Numpy for better general programming features. Numpy has pretty good syntax for matrix computation, IMO.
Lora is proprietary. The hardware manufacturers pay for that though (and pass the costs down to you).
RAK boards without GPS can use ~15ma on average. Not sure how much more with GPS. Sensecap t1000-e is pretty compact, has GPS, is water resistant, and can last 3 days on battery.
I do wonder what their angle is here. Collecting dividends to fund ICE while lowering taxes on the rich? Pumping Intel stock so insiders can sell? Although it's "passive ownership," the government will have voting shares, but they "promise" to vote with the board on most issues, with undisclosed "limited exceptions."
I've heard the Nazis were pretty incompetent, did a lot of amphetamines, and were into occult stuff. While not exactly fascist, China and the Soviet Union had a bunch of dumb ideas too, promoting junk science and stupid farming practices. I think it can last a while, unfortunately.
In my area, the HVAC companies that will do mini-splits are extremely overpriced (I think they usually only use them for commercial installations). Quoted me $25k for 4 minisplits. Did it my self, including electrical, with Mr Cool minisplits for something like $10k. The bad thing is I think Mr Cool units don't give you the full BTU unless you manually put it on "turbo" mode, and the thermostat isn't accurate (I have to recalibrate it depending on the season).
Ha, yeah, I started at a community college, for an associates in IT, and it was mostly Cisco, Visual Basic, and MS SQL. Went to a 4 years school for a BS, and it was more about logic and different programming paradigms. Then at grad school, it was mostly theoretical stuff and algorithm analysis.
My theory is the money-people (VCs, hedge-fund mangers, and such) are heavily pushing for offshoring of software engineering teams to places where labor is cheap. Anecdotally, that's what I've seen personally; nearly every company I've interviewed with has had a few US developers leading large teams based in India. The big companies in the business domain I have the most experience with are exclusively hiring devs in India and a little bit in Eastern Europe. There's a huge oversupply of computer science grads in India, so many are so desperate they're willing to work for almost nothing just to get something on their resume and hopefully get a good job later. I saw one Indian grad online saying he had 2 internship offers, one offering $60 USD/month, and the other $30/month. Heard offshore recruitment services and Global Capability Centers are booming right now.
Yeah, the CS head at the small college I went to was also the Philosophy head (he got his doctorate in philosophy). The same formal logic class was a requirement for the CS, philosophy, and law degrees.
I kinda agree. IIRC, they were originally built for downloading from newsgroups, which does need a lot of automation. Personally, I do find Sonarr useful, so I don't have to manually keep track of when new episodes come out. Before Sonarr, I used to use a tool that was configured with YAML or something, forgot what it was. I do run an *arr stack now because I have a multi-member household, and they don't want to go searching for stuff on trackers, so they just use Overseerr.
I think it's the same in all developed nations; constantly needing more skills to achieve the same standard of living. I think a lot of it is from nearly all resources getting more expensive to extract (oil, wood, iron, etc) due to us having already extracted all the low-hanging-fruit, and needing to move on to more resource-intensive methods like offshore-drilling, fracking, importing lumber long distances from harsher climates. The other drivers are the attacks on labor and executives/shareholders taking more profits for themselves instead of paying their workers more.
The Zapatista territory is pretty large and has a population of somewhere around 300k. It's a network of autonomous municipalities, so it kind of like a bunch of communes. They have their own schools, doctors, and hospitals; but they are quite poor (they're mostly indigenous farmers).
Meh, it's more efficient to make less trips to the store and buy all you need in one go, than to go to the store often (less fuel/electricity/time). Some people have large families and multi-generational households as well.
A good cashier/bagger is much faster than self-checkout. If I only have like 10 items or something, I use self-checkout, otherwise I go to the cashier. Granted, I rarely get a fast cashier/bagger anymore; makes think the company does that on purpose.
