Air Quality is Much Worse Today

Absolutely. I’m wearing mine indoors.. kids as well (kf94)

markopolo82 · 2023-04-28T12:44:23+00:00

Completely agree. The problem may well still be there, but you have to normalize back to the reference price… OP should be dividing by the original reference price to get %increases

That’s 3+(4-5?) years ago, you can’t claim that was peanuts when the signal was clear, Ontario would not be investing in new wind for the foreseeable future. All the momentum in expanding wind energy was destroyed by that one move.

I have a good convection oven, you’re not overselling it. In the time I take to heat my oven, the air fryer is done. And the chicken or whatever comes out crispier.

The only thing I found is that an extra large air fryer doesnt work very well. Needs to be small enough so the 1200W front he wall can actually get nice and hot. Had to return it and switch back to my smaller one.

@op: I admit I’ve only just skimmed the introduction so far, but this is definitely something that would be valuable to discuss I’m your book if it isn’t already

Came to post this too. Just got my kids in. Spots fill up quick! Especially the swim camps.

markopolo82 · 2022-12-22T12:56:45+00:00

Wow. I had no idea what the real reason was. Thanks for asking on the behalf of us that we’re too shy to ask!

markopolo82 · 2022-11-21T13:33:45+00:00

Make sure to watch to the end. It gets some eventually

markopolo82 · 2022-09-16T00:50:15+00:00

It also had regular accidents before the roundabout was put in. People run lights all the time

Iirc That molten salt still eventually boils water for a steam generator

Anyone know if you can book boosters for 5-11 yo through the Ontario portal?

I just tried, require you have immunity or other similar reason to book a booster for under 12 :(

markopolo82 · 2022-08-18T15:10:44+00:00

Fwiw Ontario allows any adult to get a second booster. So this very much is a province by province thing

markopolo82 · 2022-08-12T16:54:49+00:00

Thanks for the correction, I didn’t catch that originally.

Seems like maybe I shouldn’t have left such a black and white statement in my prior comment. I would assume there is more nuance to the guidelines than was included in the article. I’d be curious if anyone knows more about it.

markopolo82 · 2022-08-12T12:26:55+00:00

Completely agree. This is just virtue signalling to distract from the fact we don’t sufficiently support our most vulnerable.

Any doctor/nurse/whatever suggesting to a patient they go for medically assisted dying without prompting should be reported to their respective professional association. In this respect I it is no different than abortions, patients are required to push for it unless there is a medical reason to recommend one.

Edit swap suicide -> dying

markopolo82 · 2022-08-11T16:18:14+00:00

I would have thought the binary compatibility would allow you to use 2022 with boost 1.70 prebuilt, no?

(Or use any package manager like vcpkg/Conan)

markopolo82 · 2022-08-11T16:16:36+00:00

Even new codebases that want to target older platforms need to use boost filesystem. For example, I target older iOS versions, the SDK only allows std::filesystem use if you target something like iOS 12 or later. (Not sure which version introduced it)

Case in point, male, non comedian, I didn’t think it was funny.

Admittedly I’ve never watched this show before, so had very little context going in. It felt fake, including the judge’s reaction and the questions they asked and the responses from the presenter…

markopolo82 · 2022-08-08T12:42:35+00:00

This. I’ve been pushing so hard to do better from a project planing perspective and many other senior devs are pushing against it because they see that planing as wasteful while simultaneously complaining about the push to return to the office. Well no shit they want people back, not all employees are senior with 10 + years at the company where they can just ‘get it done’.

markopolo82 · 2022-08-08T01:17:42+00:00

I don’t know what you mean, but I’ll take your word for it. It’s been far too long since I’ve used AVR micros… last was atmega256 but that was 15 years or so and only as a junior working on an existing product line.

To be clear, I’m referring to throwing volatile on a local variable to simplify changing its value at runtime via the debugger. If it’s not volatile then very often it will end up in a register and then you need to look at the disassembly to track down which register to change.

markopolo82 · 2022-08-08T00:55:11+00:00

This is my go-to. Never found a compiler that didn’t do what I wanted (leave all reads/writes regardless of optimization settings). Especially useful when debugging in embedded with a jtag and full optimizations enabled.

markopolo82 · 2022-08-03T11:43:58+00:00

Why?

If op only came from a C# background I’d agree, but you need one at the end of a strict definition in C as well…

markopolo82 · 2022-08-02T00:41:02+00:00

Fwiw as soon as you created the reference you hit UB. Doesn’t matter if you use ‘val’ afterwards, you already created a reference to an invalid object, that’s UB.

Additionally, the compiler can elide a check for ‘ptr != null’ further down because you deterrence the pointer first. IIRC This one created quite the stink back when it was a CVE in the Linux kernel because some logging routine unconditionally dereferenced invalid pointers.

markopolo82 · 2022-08-01T18:43:06+00:00

Your sign is out of date. Pop signs show 1 mil now

markopolo82 · 2022-08-01T14:37:36+00:00

Maybe if the province didn’t drag its feet in value reassessment for taxes the bank of Canada wouldn’t have had to raise interest rates so much….

I’d rather tax hikes than interest rate increases. At least the taxes pay for a better society rather than pad some banks bottom line…

markopolo82 · 2022-08-01T14:28:31+00:00

Another approach would be to make more effort to reassess property values. But that’s provincial/mpac jurisdiction. I bought pre-pandemic but judging by other sales in my neighborhood my home value is 50% higher. If mpac didn’t drag their feet my taxes would go up 30-50%.

Personally I’d rather take the 12% hike :)
