No, the amount of water conserved through these measures was absolutely meaningless even at scale. You are talking about a fraction of a fraction of a percent of use.
Yeah. Farmers measure water use in acre-feet and assess flows at thousands of gallons per minute range.
The food in your plate consumes far more water than a glass of water. If anything, more water and less food eaten would be a good water conservation measure.
Because nobody cares about the dev process. The number of times I’ve looked back in the history and seen a branch with a series of twenty commits labeled “fix thing”, “oops”, “typo”, “remove thing I tried that didn’t work”, or just a chain of WIP WIP WIP WIP is useless, irritating, and pointless.
One commit per logical change. One merge per larger conceptual change. I will rewrite my actual dev process so that individual commits can be reviewed as small, independent PRs when possible, and so that bigger PRs can be reviewed commit-by-commit to understand the whole. Because I care about my reviewers, and because I want to review code like this.
Care about your goddamn craft, even just a little bit.
The comments sections in git posts vs. jj posts are always hysterical to me.
If there’s a jj post on HN, people come out of the woodworks to say that git is easy and it’s crazy to suggest that anyone finds it difficult or confusing. Also people saying they’ve figured out git is super usable if you only ever use commit, merge, pull.
Then you have git posts where everyone talks about how hard some basic things are, how easy it is to mess up your repo, how frustrating rebase is, etc.
I feel like iron in the blood gets a lot of airtime, but literally all the carbon in our bodies is star stuff too. As is the oxygen making up the water. And almost everything else.
> This result therefore paves the way towards a direct measurement of the solar metallicity using CNO neutrinos. Our findings quantify the relative contribution of CNO fusion in the Sun to be of the order of 1 per cent;
I find it amazing that we can analize the composition of the core of the Sun measuring the energy of the neutrinos.
(Photons are not useful, because they bounce a lot of times before escaping from the Sun, so they provide only information about the outher layers.)
I usually like to accuse people of the wildest privacy conspiracies, but here in the case of Orion, one day the founder approached me together to work with him, and I tried to see how far is he willing to do in practice (“ok maybe we could do X and Y or Z”).
He stopped me and explained to me that is his business model, and… it was to sell apps / subscriptions. He has no interest into anything else and strongly explained that the user pays and that’s it.
Eventually I didn’t work with him but I have a very positive opinion of him, so at least, based on my experience as a potential employee strongly trusts
