The inertia largely comes from all the turbines and synchronous motors that stay connected.

With something like a heat pump compressor, you're connecting or disconnecting it completely with the flip of a switch. It's also an asynchronous motor and unable to feed power back into the grid at all, it's a pure load.

I guess I downplayed how much more complexity there would be in itch than luarocks, and just thought about what probably gets more use.

Also I was trying to answer the apps question specifically as whole web apps that are running on openresty. So I wasn't thinking about tools built with openresty, though I think that is it's biggest utility.
Eh? No, no one can fix this. Oracle couldn't fix this in Solaris. Microsoft can't fix this either (in Windows, in Linux, not at all).

It's not a question of money, or managerial will-power. You're asking to boil a great lake, and if you have the money for it, you will almost certainly find better uses for it. There is no market demand for a "fix" here, so there cannot be any managerial will-power either.

Nor is this due to Unix being open source back in the 70s, because it simply wasn't open source (and save for the erstwhile OpenSolaris, it still isn't). It wasn't entirely a research vehicle either, as AT&T used Unix as the OS for its phone switches. VMS too could not have had this feature, and for the same reasons -- though I'm not familiar enough with VMS, I feel absolutely certain that VMS did not have this either. And the hardware terminals (they were all hardware terminals back then, as there were no graphical terminals in which to emulate a terminal) were decidedly not open-source, and their vendors were in it for the profit.

This, and all the wonky, hacky things to do with terminals, goes back to the way things were almost half a century ago, long long before "FOSS" even came to be.

Software business models have absolutely nothing to do with why you can't have key up events in ttys.

EDIT: And incidentally, windowing systems happened on the scene around 1984-1985. By 1987 even SVR2 had a windowing system in the AT&T Unix PC. But it was too late to retrofit key up events into ttys -- already by then there was over a decade of legacy, and hardware terminals continued to be a thing for some time yet. This is a crucial lesson in engineering: even relatively small amounts of legacy have profound effects on what is feasible, so often you have to get things right in the very beginning (precisely when it's hardest to get things right!).
Yeah totally fair point. I figured there’s probably some usecase I haven’t run into for this feature. Still, I think it says something that I’ve never missed it despite some fairly advanced Git usage.

Free market economics will decide the future of oil. Unless governments interfere, oil will remain a viable energy source because it is significantly cheaper and more reliable than any of the renewable alternatives.
> I'm pretty certain individually wrapped vegetables are causing more trouble, than phone packaging.

Unless you are referring to coating with food-grade wax as “wrapped”, individually-wrapped vegetables seem to be by far the exception rather than the rule in supermarkets.
That depends a lot on where you end up. We're still doing Enterprise OO, and it's still very much alive.
Uh and in commercial software you end up with a clutter of inane features, just because at one time a (potential) customer who seemed important requested it.
In Cappadocia (central Turkey) there are millenia-old settlements carved out of volcanic tuff. You can hike down a valley and see structure after structure, not protected in any way, just out thre for anyone to climb into and explore. Churches, domestic dwelling, tombs... it was amazing.

But the most common type of structure was a simple cave dug into the rock, with fifty to a hundred niches carved into the walls, and then the door was bricked uo with just three shoebox-sized openings left in them.

We eventually found a guy there who represented himself as a guide, and he told us that these were pigeon coops, which the folks who inhabited these settlements used for their eggs. Which made no sense to me. Pigeon eggs are tiny. That's an awful lot of work for an egg the size of your thumb.

But what makes perfect sense is to keep pigeons for their droppings. The place is practically desert. The soil is infertile. But with fertilizer... you could survive.
Reminds me of high school ceramics were we would have to grab two pieces of plexiglass and place our clay in between and use a pin roller to flatten our clay. If you wanted thinner sheets of clay you would continue the process with thinner pieces of plexiglass.

What we didn't know was that there was a slab roller sitting next to us all along that the teacher hadn't mentioned during the start of the course.

Through natural progression of working on "advanced" projects, we were then introduced to the slab roller as it cut time to focus on the new techniques we were learning.

The teacher essentially did that for the remainder of the course and the ones that stayed behind to learn a bit more were able to use the shortcuts before the others because they were progressing on their off time.

Disclaimer: I'm not very knowledgeable about DIY electronics and pretty bad with a soldering iron (shaky hands). Regardless I think it's super interesting and cool and thus my question:

I checked that site and "medium quantities" is 5000 of them :) (for a total price of $493). Somewhere on the page it says minimum amount is 2500, but I tried and wasn't able to successfully add that to my cart (only 5000).

So I guess that's nice, but how are you going to put even 2500 of these chips to use? That's a LOT of soldering to do. Unless you have some kind of machine to do that for you? But even then what are you going to use 2500 of them for, if not for reselling?
States typically follow MUTCD[1] traffic rules, but they can diverge on interpretation. One source of different interpretation is what to do on a solid red arrow. (in some states that means stop and proceed as a normal solid red light, in others it means absolutely no turn on read). I imagine there are other areas where rules are interpreted differently.

It's Alive is great because Brad isn't overly cautious or rigorous himself. I used to be intimidated by fermenting because all the guides I saw had stuff about having to sanitize everything or you'll get botulism, or having to get the brine perfect in ratio. But really, it's not that strict. Sure, the brine has to be in the right neighborhood, but a few grams won't kill your ferment. Also he's hilarious

I agree. When I'm dropping someone off, I often drive past the intended drop point, let them out across the street, etc, because there is an unreasonably high cost to hitting the exact drop point. It sounds like self driving cars are only allowed to do exact drops, which is an irrational constraint IMO. Clearly there's a trade-off between trip time and drop accuracy, and time is usually 10x more important than accuracy.
Part of the answer here comes down to the size of the effect.

If the effect size is large, then you can be pretty sloppy with your statistics - in some ways it doesn’t matter because it’s almost a qualitative/binary difference.

Obviously statistics becomes much more important when the effect size shrinks and you are squinting at some data trying to see if a 20% difference is real or not.

Due to the poor foundations in biosciences (everything from the assays themselves, lack of assay replication, errors in interpretation) engineering/optimizing something can be fiendishly hard.
Dosa and Idli are from the South Side of India. I have roots there, specifically Kerala. In my childhood days, my mom used to make Idli and/or Dosa every single day. She soaked the dals and rice around midday in water and used a blender(Indian blender btw, they start at 500W motor rating and are the 4x4s of the blender world) to grind them to a batter, add salt and kept overnight on the kitchen counter for fermentation. Next day morning, we'd make amazing Idli and/Dosa for breakfast.

How to Sell Insurance on SME Channel?
I'm working in a project which has as a goal sell insurance using small and medium companies. How could I spread to those companies the opportunity to get commission without any investment using only a platform ?
None of this is meant to contradict your point that fermentation is safe and a wonderful thing to do. I think fermentation is fun, and it makes delicious things!

But...I'd like to get some terminology and what appears to be a small misconception straightened out here:

> infecting oneself with Botulism

It's not an infection, it's poisoning.

> heating [...] leaves only Botulism because it has spores

"Botulism" is the condition of being poisoned; the poison is "botulinum toxin". It is named after the organism that produces it, Clostridium botulinum (and there are other closely-related species). And it is that organism that has the spores.

> the conditions created inside the ferment make it essentially impossible for Botulism to thrive

I think this is important to get right. Specifically, it's the highly acidic environment. The acid remains effective even when the food is heated, inhibiting bacterial growth and toxin production.

Also worth noting is that the spores can indeed be destroyed by getting them hot enough for long enough. The difficulty is that the "hot enough" temperature is above boiling. This is why pressure canning is required for low-acid foods like soup or fish. (The toxin itself can also be destroyed by proper heating.)

Initially -- before canning -- the presence of oxygen is an essential factor. The bacteria won't produce toxin except in a low-oxygen environment. You mentioned garlic in olive oil -- the lack of oxygen is precisely the problem here.

(For completeness, another factor in inhibiting growth is what's called "available water": a large amount of dissolved sugar sort of "locks up" the water in the food. This is the main factor preventing spoilage in jams/jellies.)

Final side note, FWIW:

> Some meat ferments require more care

Indeed; if they're sealed in a casing (e.g., salami), sodium or potassium nitrite is necessary to ensure safety.
Interesting their waste would be collected and put into fields given the serious health risks involved.

Congrats on the launch.

The privacy policy is very not suited for this service. The most important point is that you're based in Germany based on the address in the policy, but there isn't a single mention of the GDPR. That and the ePrivacy Directive are what count for you the most. My recommendation is don't use a free policy generator and get proper advice. I appreciate this isn't something commonly seen as a launch blocker, but it's important to sort it out properly.

Find your German state data protection authority, and invariably you'll find they have great guidance.
I'm willing to bet UPS has calculated this.
Just for comparison... see the same query, with Go and JavaScript added in.

I'd like to learn Scala too. At the moment it's definitely not as prevalent as other languages, but it's higher than emerging languages, which I think was @spir's goal.

I didn't add this to invalidate the parent comment; just to add another view.
Usually the cost of doing the experiments precludes large sample sizes.

Meta:

I'll again have to criticize this submission's title. It shouldn't be "	Why Is It So Hard to Detect Keyup Event on Linux?" (it's not a problem with the kernel), it should be something along the lines of "Why can't I detect key up events via SSH?".

And the answer to that is simple: That's not what it's designed for.

Or, even better: Instead of concentrating on the complaints part of the article provide on the part in which you're providing value to your readers: "Detecting keyboard events without a display server" or, if you want to get in on the long headlines trend: "Detecting key up events in a TTY environments is hard. Here are some ways".
Reading 25 year old documents is hard enough. I mean, none of my current computers even has an optical drive, let alone a 3.5" floppy. To say nothing of the actually-floppy floppies.
Yeah I don't fully buy that either. The US move to natural gas is mostly due to luck in the discovery of cheap gas. The negative externalities on coal are still not nearly being taxed hard enough. I just find it absurd that Germany outlawed its primary source of carbon-neutral electricity quickly but is dawdling on coal.
Just had a look and it feels very "designed by engineers". Clearly the idea was to put as much content on the landing page as possible instead of thinking about what they want people to see.
I can find no mention of pricing, other than that it’s free forever.

When you say you’re doing a “first marketing offensive”, it would suggest you’ll be spending time/money on it, and I expect you expect to see some ROI.

That’s a shame, I prefer reading very simple code myself.
What if what you're working on is going to take longer than 25 minutes, and then taking that 5 minute break breaks up your mental flow?

That is, after returning after 5 minutes it takes a couple minutes to re-orient yourself to the problem at hand?
This isn't a super fair characterization. Visual Studio is miles ahead of Xcode or anything available on Linux as far as debuggers are concerned. You also have Windows Subsystem for Linux if you need it.

Just because it doesn't conform to your particular workflow doesn't mean the development environment is a "mess." Personally I'm more productive in Linux for certain kinds of work, and more productive in Windows for other things (graphics work mainly, as the driver situation for GPUs on Linux is a "mess" to use your words).

Ya, but that's because the abstraction in the OP isn't complete. It's showing the abstraction of a single instance of a subproblem, for clarity. But real abstraction generally abstracts multiple instances of a subproblem (or at least, it should), and thereby reduces LOC.
Yep. All GUI systems that I'm aware of have explicit keyDown/keyUp events. They're essential for a number of things.

If the Unix console was being designed today, I expect it would also have them, along with a sane system for reporting terminal capabilities and probably a zillion other things.

It's too bad none of the console modernization projects have really gained traction. The best we seem to be able to do is fish + UTF-8 + maybe Powerline.
There are many many options to assure yourself of Job security. If that is important to you, working for a highly leveraged company with a ceo who has a history of acting impulsively should be avoided.

> Free market economics will decide the future of oil.

No, it won't because free markets don't exist except as an abstract ideal in general, and they very much don't even approximately exist in oil.

Has there ever been a time without governments actively and energetically intervening in the market for oil (not always in the same direction)?
So is this possible in PowerShell? I don't think so

Yes, Visual Studio has a reputation for having the best in class debugger. While I don't know any graphical debugger for Linux that I would prefer to gdb. Other than that, Visual Studio has a reputation for being a morass slow POS. (Apparently that has gotten a little better with the latest releases).

The game developers I follow all use Visual Studio exclusively for debugging. Otherwise they use a standalone editor and hand picked tooling, and batch scripts and the command window (or something like mintty which has its own problems) while cursing all the time.
