The more religious people I know are some of the best critical thinkers. Especially those types who enroll their kids in the 'classical' education model. With the decline of religion in the USA, I don't think this is a very coherent scapegoat.
Religion isn't the only factor, nor did I claim it was.
But it's the only one I've seen convince PhDs to believe self contradictory "scriptures", cherry picked "evidence", appeals to authority, parrot useless platitudes, indoctrinate their kids, dismiss injustices, other people even for the most trivial differences in doctrine, and consistently vote against their own interests.
This SQL Studio which was seemingly released to the public yesterday? Or are you talking about MS's SQL Server Management Studio? The MS one is a beast.
Management Studio is a monster. I was using for years and every so often someone would show me a feature I was totally unaware of that blew my mind.
Visual Studio also had "Database Project" which was amazing. Not seen anything like it. I think everyone moved over to using EF or Fluent Migrations but I loved the Database Projects.
Taking a huge risk with the naming here, I would be expecting to hear from a Microsoft lawyer any minute (Due to MS's flagship 'SQL Server Management Studio').
e: Don't let this dishearten you, I only would consider a name change to be more of your own brand. When I saw 'SQL Studio', I assumed MS had created an online version of their product. This looks like a well-done passion project.
> all they had to do to label a cow “free range” or “grass fed” was change the finishing stage to a lower density configuration instead of those abominable feed lots you see along highways.
And this is exactly what people have wanted, and are willing to pay a premium for.
All the Flock cameras around me are stationed around the entrances to Lowe's parking lots.
Most of the ones in my neighborhood are pointed at parks, playgrounds, and the big transit center. Which makes no sense to me since there's a ton of government buildings around that you'd think would be under Flock surveillance for "safety."
All of the ones I've noticed have been pointed directly towards streets for mostly license recognition but it's notable that they record whatever objects a typical real world AI image model could. In my area, we have Flock, Shotspotter, Stingray devices, free Ring camera programs from law enforcement departments.
Our Lowe's have the mobile parking lot camera/light units, I wasn't aware if these were Flock but either wouldn't be surprised if they were, had access or plans to buy in.
I don't really see how this is a productive comment for the article. Most of big tech focuses on AI and those typically get traction in the news. AWS specically has plenty of non-AI announcements: https://aws.amazon.com/new/
Parent comment made a low quality joke that lacked substance.
I think that is a joke that reflects pretty well the feeling of many people (me included) that miss the ten years ago AWS and their ability to amaze us with solutions for practical problems, instead of marketing claims on PowerPoints.
A fork is more expensive to maintain than funding/contributing to the original project. You have to duplicate all future work yourselves, third party code starts expecting their version instead of your version, etc.
Not exactly true, one of the main issues with heat pumps in cold weather is the outside coil freezing up with ice blocking airflow due to them being below the freezing point of water.
This is actually why older heat pumps became less effective around 40F because the coils would start to hit 32F since they are attempting to pull heat from the warmer outside air and are therefore colder than the outside air.
There are various solutions to this problem, the standard way is to run it in reverse as a air conditioner for a short period if it detects the situation to defrost the coils and if the system has resistive heat strips it uses those to warm the air that is being cooled. This obviously reduces the efficiency of the system the more it has to defrost and may not be very comfortable to the users.
Cold weather heat pumps work better in drier climates due to this as well because the lower the outside humidity the slower frost will form on the outside coils.
Some cool weather heat pumps will have two compressor units and fans and alternate between them with one defrosting the other, there are many other tricks they are using to prevent frost buildup and continue working above COP 1 far below freezing.
