Paper/Plastic/Reusable | Technorabble

https://technorabble.wordpress.com/2008/01/27/paperplasticreusable

A lively discussion was sparked at EcoGeek over paper vs. plastic. 160; The recurring point is the best solution is reusable bags.  Paper vs. plastic is an unnecessary distraction.  Whole Foods offers a 5 cent or more rebate per reusable bag. Thinking just about bags maybe stopping short of the finish line.  What about fruits, vegetables, deli meats, and all other things packaged at the store? 160; Shouldn’t we have a reusable system for those as well? Also, Peapod could gain some customer satisfaction p...

Collection of Dynamic Features for Static Languages | Technorabble

https://technorabble.wordpress.com/2006/08/06/collection-of-dynamic-features-for-static-languages

Collection of Dynamic Features for Static Languages. Dynamic languages have been gaining support and interest over the last few years. Static languages however still dominate usage, and have benefits, like performance and verifiability, that some dynamic languages would like to replicate. At the same time, some static languages are realizing the value of dynamic languages and are attempting to replicate some of those benefits, while retaining the static capabilities. Found in: C# 3.0. Type inference is t...

Author Archive for Ryan Baker. How not to implement Undo. Lotus Notes 7 has an undo feature.  I think it would be better off without one.  This train wreck of a feature does not have a redo option, and is unpredictable in terms of how much it is going to undo.

Wind/Solar faster to build | Technorabble

https://technorabble.wordpress.com/2008/01/19/windsolar-faster-to-build

Wind/Solar faster to build. A common concern with renewable energy, is how quickly can we build out capacity. It’s not uncommon to hear advocates of coal say it’s the only option in the short term, for example. But is this concern even valid? Sure, there is only so much equipment and trained workers to build wind and solar capacity, but if it’s obvious the number of opportunities that will exist, workers will respond pretty quick. As you can see, IPP, or Independent Power Producers own and have built the...

Home efficiency ratings: LEED and HERS | Technorabble

https://technorabble.wordpress.com/2008/01/04/home-efficiency-ratings-leed-and-hers

Home efficiency ratings: LEED and HERS. For years, several good programs have rated the efficiency of homes and buildings. The LEED rating system. And the HERS Index. Are two examples. Both are good, but serve different purposes. LEED is the program that has drawn more recent attention. However, a HERS rating includes average annual estimates for. 8220;space heating, space cooling, domestic hot water, and all other energy use”. The explanation is not difficult. LEED is an award, but HERS is a compara...

Transit Progress Links | Technorabble

https://technorabble.wordpress.com/2007/12/21/transit-progress-links

I’m not the only one thinking about systems like SIT. Early progress within the next 5 years. Breezing along an expressway, inching along in stop-and-go traffic, or parking in the lot at a mall or airport after dropping off the driver. Battery progress, 10 times capacity. Produces 10 times the amount of electricity of existing lithium-ion …. Slow reactions = Slow traffic. Heathrow to install a Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system. Responses to “Transit Progress Links”.

SIT – Transitions (Part 8) | Technorabble

https://technorabble.wordpress.com/2008/01/11/sit-transitions-part-8

SIT – Transitions (Part 8). A key idea of SIT. Is the reuse of existing infrastructure; road, rail, even the automobile manufacturing infrastructure. That has the strength of lower investment cost, but it has the difficulty of requiring a transition plan. My experience in software architecture has taught me that transition plans are as difficult as they are powerful and important. What would the transition from the present day transportation architecture to SIT be like? Manufacturing – Platforms. The lin...
