Ironically the core application is written in rails, which may be part of the issue

C is a weakly typed language. It’s statically typed, which is a different thing

> iPad Air is a fantastic value

TIL American English treats “value” in the financial sense as a countable noun

It’d be nice to have in stdlib, but it’s pretty trivial to write a generic wrapper for it

air source heat pumps, though they're improving won't do well in extreme cold; even if they can operate they'll still be running at much lower efficiency.

For temperatures significantly into negative territory a ground source heat pump would perform far better, where it can draw on a source of heat that will always be at least above freezing.

A hybrid system doesn't seem like a bad trade-off though..

yes - this is also part of the privacy extensions spec: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4941

It’s not uncommon. Google AIP spec requires it for example. I think the main driver for it is implicit idempotency.

The client’s ID for a resource and the server’s ID for that resource need not be the same.

Of course, adding two IDs for a resource complicates things. But so too does trusting client-generated IDs to be universally unique.

It's basically a long form linkedin article.

I thought so too, but it seems reasonable considering we're 70% water, much of it flowing and actively taking stuff out and around. Plus cells are apparently way more dynamic than is typically conveyed in high school bio (I think there was a quantamagazine article a while ago). So it's perhaps surprising that a body's atoms aren't fully recycled even faster than that.

IANAMD. IANAB. Let's guess anyway:

The Ca in bones is probably renewed very slowly. C H O N very fast, in particular water. Na, K and Cl are very soluble and also get renew very fast. Some rare elements like I are probably reused a lot and renewed very slowly. I'm not sure about P, my hand waving is confused. Assuming a burger per day, we ate our weight in meat every few years, but I'm not sure if all the Fe is absorved in and exchanged for the internal one.
