> "long term"

Does it make sense to store energy as heat differentials for long term? Insulation can only work for so long, eventually it will come back to environment temp.
There are ways to debug minified JS in production, sourcemaps being one of them.

In addition to the speed difference, there's a significant payload size difference: something like 1.5+MB for the dev build, vs 70kb for the production build, last time I checked.
Years ago I travelled through norcal without stopping in to SF. Started in Crescent City, traversed into Oregon, past Shasta region and the farthest south I achieved was to Santa Rosa. Headed east to Oroville and then back to Crescent City to catch my prop flight to SF for the flight east.

Wonderful personal trip on the winding mountain roads and experiencing the abrupt climate|vista changes in an hour+ from pacific coast to desert. Morning 50 degrees, afternoon 80+.

It was my first time in norcal and the thing that shocked me the most (reading my emails to friends from that time) was the filth, poverty and mental illness in the towns and cities.

This idea definently shapes the way I think of modern energy technology.

One of the best ways for long-term energy storage is to take something (like water) and move it to a higher spot.

We can take advantage of the decay of an atom to generate electricity, but if we want to use that energy later, we push water up a hill.

I wonder what is the added value on Elixir School, when it clearly looks like the same content is rehashed from the elixir-lang website..
Tap to wake usually either requires more pressure than an accidental bump or requires a quick double tap.

That is how it has been implemented in the Android phones I've used so far.

Personal recommendations are usually how people find their dentists, I'm not sure there's any better way. Ask several colleagues and friends to talk to you in depth about their experiences. Make sure you ask if they recommended extensive expensive treatments, routinely recommending such treatments is a bad sign the dentist is doing unnecessary work for profit (which happens). Don't hesitate to call up different offices with any questions you may have. If they won't or can't answer your questions they aren't worth your time. Don't hesitate about getting a second opinion if you're not sure about their treatment plan.
As an IRC, Slack, and Matrix user and netadmin, I will say that Slack and other nextgen chat services have a few advantages over IRC:

- automatic backlog resumption

- server stored pageable backlog

- continuous presence (you don't disappear from the channel when you leave, you're just marked as away)

- authentication built into the spec rather than implemented using a "services" layer

- general upgrades to what is allowed in the chat, such as long pastes, inline images, and file uploads

If you haven't tried Matrix yet (the best client is probably Riot at https://riot.im/ ), I encourage you to give it a try. It's essentially next generation IRC.
>You can do that under the flag of free speech?

These days you can't even carry large amounts of cash in the US. Free speech as an ideal would allow for calling for violence as a last stand against oppression.

As for what you can legally get away with in the US, assuming you aren't wealth enough to afford a good legal defense, you do not have any rights any more. If those in power decide to ruin your day, you have a chance of ending up in prison despite being completely innocent. Maybe the ACLU/EFF/etc. will defend you depending upon what they actually try to charge you with, but even that isn't a guarantee with how the legal system current works.

https://pricemoji.com/ an GraphQL/Node.js API that turns product prices into emojis.

No revenue, just a side project really. But considering the feedback I'm often getting, it seems to have great potential...

Originally, my challenge was to find a way to turn abstract product prices into more familiar, visual representations of their worth. Imagine paying your Netflix subscription in Bananas for example :)

A Financial Times journalist dubbed it a way to "take us back to a barter economy, where we price things in emoji beer rather than dollars".

Been featured on Product Hunt at producthunt.com/posts/pricemoji as well.

Would be curious to hear for your proposal for such an app? I was thinking $15K or something.

I wish more sites would follow those principles. One of the reasons I made the switch[0] was because people from countries with limited internet access wanted to use things I was posting as a reference. Unfortunately I don't have a good replacement for MathJax right now. A side effect is that everything displays nicely even on a phone, with no work. I am aware that my website is ugly but I'd rather have one that is readable.

Not necessarily. The real total value may be constant, and will simply be split between the branches. That, of course, would not happen instantly, so there's probably a way to time it perfectly. As in, buy right before the split, and sell right after. But don't forget there are fees involved, and also the spread between buy and sell.
I think you are being fairly dishonest with these examples of what people talk about when they talk about "hateful" people on sites like Reddit.

People are mainly talking about places like /r/coontown or /r/fatpeoplehate. While I'm sure there are some people annoyed at discussions about people "who think it's unfair that men can be tricked in impregnating a woman and sued for child support", I would argue the vast majority have no problem with those discussions as long as they are argued honestly.

People not often say "black people are bad, gays are bad, muslims are bad, women are bad"

I have a hard time believing you actually think this is true...
Not really - there's a reason why the Android phones that have tap to wake require two taps in quick succession, or similar. It's very difficult to accidentally trigger it.

The facial recognition stuff seems odd to me, in the sense that I can't really figure out what it would be used for (aside from a silly smile detector in the camera app), but hopefully it'll be locked behind permission prompts (or barely accessible at all) in third party apps.
Oh god, I despair of this country. After a decade of conservative I have never been so disillusioned. I feel like I am stuck in a rut or like, I don't belong here. It is a horrible feeling. Deep down I know that the government is stuck in 1740 and by the time that millennials walk the halls of power, their parents will have signed away all their rights. The very last thing I love is my country, that is for sure.

Careful now, that sounds alarmingly subversive. You might be a pre-terrorist, and we need to see all your files, have your private encryption keys, and monitor all your communications. You know, because terrorism.

Of course, if you'd join the Tories, we can make things easier for you....
Then they are not going to get a very substantial response.
> Being able to implement off the top of one's head is a skill that fades as soon as one is no longer required to do so.

I haven't implemented a hash table, linked list, growable array or binary tree for years but know I could because I understand how they work and I select which one to use often while coding. I find it hard to understand how you could claim to know how those data structures work and not be able to implement them.
So dumb.
An incompetent government is more likely to fuck up their economy when it's based on an easy to extract resource, like oil or diamonds.

When resources are easy to extract, you don't need to attract foreign capital investments (for example, by protecting property rights) and you don't need a highly skilled, well educated population to work the oil fields and mines.

In other words, you can afford to turn into a dictatorship.

Creating Custom Inputs with Vue.js
I had a pretty good chuckle at this comment. I couldn't agree more. While I loved Delphi, VB, TurboPascal, ASIC and DJCPP back when they were in vogue, I feel like starting new projects in a decaying ecosystem is a bad idea. Soon enough you'll find stuff there aren't any libraries for, outdated database drivers, or hit a wall when trying to do something most modern runtimes make incredibly easy (something as simple as making an HTTPS request.) At that point you hit a diminishing ROI from using the language you love and it becomes a matter of productivity.

What's with all the survivorship bias in these responses? For every person you know that's made money in an MLM, that mathematically means there were 1,000 people AT MINIMUM below them who were scammed somewhere around $300 to usually $20,000 (when you're poor that can be 3 months worth of savings and the difference between taking multiple overdraft hits + a title loan) to live a hijacked version of the American Dream. The burned relationships are even more significant, again especially with people in poverty where family is everything. Look at "A Framework for Understanding to Poverty" by Ruby Payne for more on this.

Btw of course a scam will make some people successful, that's what scams do, take people's money. If someone isn't getting rich, it isn't a scam in the end.

That being said, MLMs are weird and quite honestly conceptually bizarre to reason through. They thrive on this and they operate in the gaps and blindspots of human reasoning.

Here's another way to describe MLMs:

-1). They get you hyped up on success and by borrowing the best of innovations that were mastered by Evangelical churches and various performing arts over the last 200 years (see Aimee Mcpherson, the amazing female preacher from LA and the inspiration for the male preacher in "There Will Be Blood" with Daniel Day Lewis).

-2). By pretending to have a business they can sell you a $500 or so "gold" level business kit to launch your business.

-3). They then get you so hyped up you talk to all of your friends, reluctantly 2 or 3 of them buy. Now the MLM has made $500 + $1000 or so from your friends. That means you as a "mark" has been taken for $1500.

-4). Rinse and repeat with your other friends, burning social circles and harvesting the ashes as you go.

And as an American citizen I'm very glad that we aren't contributing to the problem by absorbing a lot of refugees. We should be providing aid, and if necessary, peacekeeping support so we can get these areas on their feet. The solution to "things are going to hell" isn't move everybody to the West, especially if we're absorbing all the smart people.

I think there's a huge amount of promise in the idea of "inside out" hydro power, where power is used to pump water out of a pressure vessel deep under water (in a lake or in the ocean) and then later generated by letting water back into the vessel. All the advantages of hydro power but without the necessity of a conveniently shaped mountain range nearby.
It would have been knocked into an eccentric orbit early in the Solar System's formation (when we had a lot more planets).

It couldn't have formed that far out. We know Uranus and Neptune are too far away - they formed closer in than they are now, and interactions with Saturn and Jupiter pushed them out. In fact, there's evidence that they switched places (Neptune originally being closer). Planet Nine could have been thrown into an eccentric orbit during this time.

Here's a relevant wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nice_model
No, phones before the iPhone running J2ME had side-loading. Some carrier turned that off, but if you bought directly from the manufacturers you got a phone that you could control and do anything with by yourself, without any third party stopping you. Manufacturers felt confident that their J2ME sandboxing stopped apps from doing anything evil.

I feel like you didn't really answer my point, though. I criticize you for using an upbeat word to make a dictatorial system sound good. And you counter by talking about something entirely else, word definition and word history.
That's a huge exaggeration.
The adjustment is by block-count not time, if they only produce a block per day it'll take ~144 days to lower the difficulty.

You guys also put your washing machine in the kitchen. In the US the washing machine goes in a different room, which means you have to run a lot more plumbing. Combination machines are also extremely rare, and people don't really air dry clothes much, so you need space for both a washer and dryer.

Plus a unit with an in-unit washer and dryer generally costs more than a similarly sized unit, and part of that space is taken up by a washer/dryer.
Yes. We parse JSON at compile-time with std.json (in D standard library). It probably wasn't even designed with that goal. From a D point of view, compile-time parsers are almost boring since anyone can write them.
The UK's speed cameras are brightly coloured

Not everywhere. When was the last time you were on the M25? They are brightly coloured in places where they actively want you to reduce speed (residential areas and the like), and at infamous accident hotspots. Everywhere else (mostly motorways) they are hidden, and traps.
we are talking 100GB+ tables which probably shouldn't be one a single machine anyway.

You can comfortably handle multi-tera tables on single machines these days. Adding more machines isn't "scaling", its admitting "we can't scale in software so make it a hardware problem"

> And does that apply to any immoral action, or do you draw a line?

You're arguing in circles here. Immoral is in the eye of the beholder, culturally, so by defining something as "immoral" you're just labelling it as "bad" and asking somebody to justify decisions. That's a loaded question and a cheap rhetorical technique.

You could make an argument that since most governed people in China don't mind that they have limited freedom of speech, there is nothing immoral about it. It's not like there are riots breaking out in the streets often

I currently consider using it instead of C++/Qt for a major desktop application, but I'm still undecided. Lack of good Emacs support is a major downside but the same is probably true for Qt (haven't checked yet).

Still I feel that going with Qt is more future proof.

It's a GM, so it looks like it was made to appear in a Transformers movie and people trust a largely unproven manufacturer like Tesla to make something more reliable.
You're forgetting something on the Carnot cycle efficiency, which is that the efficiency of the storage cycle can be GREATER than unity. Heat pumps (of which this is an example) can move more than one joule of heat per joule of input power. I agree that the output efficiency (Joules of power : Joule of heat) is going to be low, given the relatively small temperature differential between the reservoirs, but the round-trip efficiency might not be that bad.

> But if they want to e.g. audit where the waste is going, that would be widely seen as something the government should do/pay for themselves.

The government has a reason for wanting to audit that waste because it's dangerous and if it's not properly stored in can cause untold damage to whole generations.

If we could trust private interests to do the same, we would, for the longest time that's exactly what we did.

But experience has shown that private interests usually outweigh public interests. Meaning: If we let people just do whatever they want, they tend to do quite a bit of public damage in the pursuit of their private profits, that's why we started to regulate.

So, if your business involves handling dangerous substances you better make sure you have the facilities and capabilities to properly dispose of them, the government will, rightfully, hold you accountable to that because if they don't then no one else will.

Let's also keep in mind that it's usually the public, aka the government, who has to pay the clean-up costs when some big private venture turned out to be quite destructive, they are usually the ones left holding the bill while all the private profits already went outside the country.
how it works?

Do have a client side? Or it's just export an admin api?
Somehow, I think Apple probably thought about this before making a change to their flagship phone.

They have many options, including making the "tap" a force touch. So requiring a certain amount of pressure before actually turning on. Or requiring a double tap. Or being more of a "tap to unlock" using raise to wake.

Actually thinking about it...if Apple did a force touch to wake it could be pretty awesome. So a light press would turn on the screen on low brightness, slowly building up as you increase pressure. Let go and it turns off, commit to the press and you are in.
