skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Primary energy use, though, is energy content of sources before they go through thermal cycles to get work. So one should also take into account the heat rejected in the latter. Nearly 80% of the energy content of gasoline, for example, goes out the tailpipe and radiator as heat.

PV would deliver energy in high quality form, electrical power, not as heat. So less than 20 TW, probably much less, would be needed to be equivalent to today's energy usage (although precisely how much would depend on details.)

Energy use will be increasing though, as the world gets wealthier. Still, this will also put pressure on agriculture to increase production, as demand for meat increases. Land constraints in the future will come from that, not from PV.

Compiler architecture is also a good metaphor for understanding what Common Lisp is all about.

Common Lisp = the programmable compiler & runtime all in one. Most CL implementations compile before calling eval. Read–eval–print loop is actually parse-compile-execute-print loop.

Front end = Read function does the lexical analysis. CL syntax is almost one-to-one with the AST, so lexer-parser part is simple. You can reprogram the lexer with reader macros if you want. This is the last place where CL code is text. After it's reader is done with it, the code is represented with CL data structures.

Middle End = CL has multiple passes with AST. First normal macros, then compiler macros operate here. They deal with CL data. Lists, symbols, structs, objects, arrays, numbers, etc. CL packages are symbol tables. AST and IR are all CL data structures.

Back End = finally the function 'compile' function compiles the end result into into native code. Saving the image and exiting the runtime is like compiling in normal languages.

> "who thinks he's my manager" -- You don't really know what he thinks.

You're taking common turns of phrase and interpreting them literally. Saying someone "thinks X" usually just means that they "behave as if they think X". The same goes for the rest of your corrections.
You have very strong opinions for someone who really doesn't understand import/export at all.

Of course things you owned, left the country and are returning with are exempt.

Import Duties apply to items purchased while outside the country and that you are returning with.

If you were away long enough to establish residency, there are usually exemptions to items of personal property you are bring back with you.

The duty-free allowance is different for every country, but in Germany for example it is around 450€ per person (the exact number escapes me). Any goods you return with in excess of that amount is subject to duty.. Some items you return with are always subject to duties.

In Germany for example, they very much will check for this and enforce it.
He might be threatened by yourself. Remember that technology moves at a fast pace - particularly with front end web development - so the bread and butter skills he learned might have been deprecated with the tools that you now consider to be bread and butter. In which case he might still be capable but feeling insecure and just needs some patience and handholding.

So the best thing to do in those situations is exactly that - show a little patience. Work with him. In time you will either earn his respect (remember it does have to work both ways) or in the worst case you'd have gained enough experience handling him that you'd be ready to progress to your next role as a senior engineer. Perhaps even both. Plus in the process he might even surprise you by demonstrating that he's not so useless after all and in fact his blindspots aren't an inability to grasp simple logic but rather just gaps in knowledge for one specific framework amongst a wealthier repertoire of skills that you are yet to discover.

This is a little like the problems hiring managers face when trying to separate out those who are confident but lack skill and those who are confident because they are skilled. Or even telling apart people who are confident because they think they know what they're doing from those who do know. So maybe think about this as improving your none-technical career building skills?

Lidsky was advocating movement to advanced fuels. Unfortunately, his PhD student Todd Rider shot down most of those schemes (the ones using non-Maxwellian plasmas). After that, Lidsky transitioned to fission and spent the rest of his career working on that.

If fusion is to have a glimmer of hope, it's D-3He (which produces maybe 5% of the neutrons of DT). But 3He is very difficult to get. Mining the moon for it is probably impractical, because the concentration of 3He in the regolith is too low (and the moon could only power Earth for about 1000 years even if it could be mined).

Learned a new word today. Not that strange, considering that this term apparently wasn't coined until 2005.
"This is only true insofar as the market is inefficient."

I think you are right. Unions are by definition all about a (a kind of external) negotiating power. Such things have no place in ideal and fully efficient free markets where the prices are dictated solely by the demand and the supply.

Either such a market would be robust enough (as in your example) and the union would not be in a longer term viable, or the union would be viable (e.g. some kind of monopoly) thus turning the market into a non-ideal, non-efficient and non-free.

However I am yet to see (or realize that I see) a labor market that would be in any meaningful way close to being efficient and free. The labor markets I see have low liquidity (it is difficult to search and change the work, it takes time to adjust your skills), huge information asymmetry and low transparency, and the most actors are not very "free" (debt, no alternative options...).
I work for a small company that is always trying out new projects. Most of them are ideas that already exist out there, but we feel the current solutions are lacking in some major way.

OBS[1] has supported building container images for several years.

Unfortunately the interface isn't great if you aren't used to it, but because it's integrated into the build system of the entire distribution you get automated rebuilds when your container image's dependencies change for free.

I got one of these as an emulation box because a retropi couldn't handle the N64 games I wanted to run, and for that purpose it's worked brilliantly. It's pretty cool that it's x86-I plan to try and do some WINE gaming on it as well which isn't possible on, say, a retropi. I haven't tried the official images, but it runs fine with the standard Ubuntu image.

> Next time you come up with that great idea, don’t Google it for a week. Let your mind fester on the idea, allow it to grow like many branches from a trunk. Jot down all of the tangentially related but equally exciting ideas that inevitably follow. Allow your mind to take the idea far into new places. No, you won’t build 90% of them, but give yourself the time to enjoy exploring the idea totally.

I can only confirm this works. Sort of.

In 2014-2015 I had an idea for a roguelike beat'em up game. Something like adding roguelike mechanics to Castle Crashers. I did google it, but there were no games like that on the market at the time, so I developed everything from scratch.

While developing I never checked Google again. And when I released the first version into Early Access in late 2016, I noticed that there are now two games in the same sub-genre that came out in the meantime. Apparently those were in development long before mine, but the developers didn't bother to tell anyone about it and they just hit the market (i.e. Steam release) one day.

Now, one of the games had a lot of ideas that I came up by myself. One of those was a magic potion called "Crank" based on the movie of same name. You have to keep moving and kill enemies or your health goes down. Exactly the same idea with the same name for the potion. I removed this feature from my game, because this other game was already out and I didn't want to be called a copycat.

But beside those few similar ideas, the rest of the development went completely separate ways. The other two games were mostly linear, mine has procedurally generated mazes to explore. The other two games allow you to carry and use one weapon, mine allows multiple. The other two games have a fixed boss at the end of each level, mine randomly picks one of 24 bosses, etc, etc.

In the end, I have built a successful product that is different enough to cater to slightly different market segment.

Had those two other games been on the market already when I started, I would have probably given up at the very start.

> How do you spend $25'000 on bottled water? Where I'm from it costs 16.5 cents per liter. That includes a 2 cent tax for recycling the PET Bottle.

Many people drinking bottled water aren't drinking the cheapest in the supermarket - the recycling bin outside my flat is regularly filled with 1.5l evian bottles - they're £1 each in the local shop. At one bottle a day, that's ~35 person-years. Not common, but not insane.

However, my office has 17 people on my floor. If everyone here drank one bottle of it a day, we'd hit it in 2 years.

If there are no competitors I generally worry far more than if it exists. I have built many things that do not exist and found out why they do not exist; there is no (sustainable) market (even though we did some research which showed enough market, but turned out there was not or at least not enough to reach that market with limited/bootstrapped means). I have also built many products into (we then thought) saturated markets (dating, free hosting, ...) which did well for us.

What I worry about is that politicians will prefer low-impact high-visibility policies over high-impact low-visibility policies. Which for some reason, sometimes they do.

For example, Californian politicians introduced a ban on restaurants providing tap water without being asked.... while subsidising irrigation water for farmers that uses several orders of magnitude more water.

I don't know why they'd do that - maybe ignorance, receiving bad advice, cynical political posturing, corruption, or something else - but it's frustrating to see the political energy to solve a real problem being wasted on things that won't solve the problem.
I wonder how long it takes in game to farm that much ISK.
I recall doing a science project in middle school where I did double-blind taste tests of tap water with a half-dozen brands of bottled water (in a place with decent-tasting tap water, FWIW). IIRC, people showed no statistically significant preference for Evian or other fancy bottled water over the local tap water.

That isn't to say that there's no taste difference, but that preferring a specific brand of bottled water is likely to be much more about the subconscious effect of marketing than something a priori more enjoyable about the mineral content of a specific brand.

There is good evidence on the internal structure of the Sun from helioseismology. The results confirm models of the Sun's structure and temperature to high precision.

Because of this data, it was concluded that astrophysical explanations for the Solar Neutrino Problem (which cast doubt on fusion as the Sun's energy source) were not workable, and eventually a particle physics explanation (neutrino oscillations and the MSW effect) was shown to be the solution. The neutrinos are direct evidence that fusion is the Sun's energy source.

At least here in Australia, most insurance companies include a clause that excludes sea level rises in insurance coverage [1]

> Are you going to try and impose "green" requirements on these places?

Definitely true it's hard to enforce green policy from outside, but the very very least a country can do is lead by example. The alternative is that everybody sits on their hands because nobody else is doing a thing.

It's like humanity is sitting in a rowboat that's heading for the top of a waterfall, and nobody in the boat tries to row to safety because nobody else is rowing.

Let's stick with facts instead of fear mongering.

I dislike Ajit Pai as much as the next person and wish he had heeded NASA's request to delay the 5G role out. That said, it's not a forgone conclusion that 5G will significantly interfere with let alone eliminate the ability of radio spectrometers on weather satellites to measure water vapor using the 23.8 GHz band.

The new FCC UMFUS regulations that govern 5G require require signals to use a set of frequencies all of which are greater than 24 GHz.

That said, of course NASA is concerned about malfunctioning 5G transmitters leaking into the 23.8 GHz spectrum. Hopefully out-of-band emissions don't become a problem. It's the FCC's job to ensure that it doesn't, and the lack of carefulness so far in the process doesn't inspire confidence.
You may be giving too much importance for what he says. There's what people say and there's what is actually going to be done. These two things only have to match if the person doing the talk is the lead (or, a customer, perhaps).
Why would it be your fault? Is his assignment to understand what you’re doing? If yes it sounds like you hesitate to play your role in this relationship. Is his role to work with you on a codebase new to him? Similarly you need to help him no matter his seniority. I Know sometimes having people lifting the veil of your code can be intimidating but if I were your manager that would be my first suspicion if I heard complaints in the context of the relationships outlined above, i.e. that you have concerns about the quality of your work. I might be wrong, but this is an anecdotal perspective to keep in mind before you escalate.
I don't know how they can claim to make this comparison.

Do an image search for mouse skeleton and compare to dog skeleton.

These creatures are hyper specialised to run pretty much nonstop all day every day, as evidenced by the fact that lab mice will voluntarily run 10km when present with a mouse wheel and no prior training.

Human running is bound to be way more laborious.

The comparison is nonsense.

I agree with your broader point though.

Edit to add: My previous pup, a Border Collie x German Shorthaired Pointed, after only five introductory sessions, would voluntarily get on the treadmill we had set up for her.

There is something inherently different about these creatures. One of my pet theories of why they don't live as long is because they're brains are hardwired to make them act like they're on MDMA and amphetamine all the time.

Classic... this is why democracy is a lot less important than some less-obvious factors when it comes to quality of governance - especially things like upholding the rule of law. BTW, there's nothing particularly "westernizing" about that, either - in fact, it's something that Confucianism explicitly calls for (albeit historically with other labels, such as "Rectification of Names") and I believe it's even mentioned in the official PRC Constitution.

Obviously if you have an x86 box then that would be better suited. But the above is worth mentioning just in case anyone else should read your comment who doesn't have any besides a Raspberry Pi but still wants access to retro games for IBM-compatible machines.

There may be something going on behind the scenes; consider that the senior colleague may have been asked by your manager to mentor you and make sure you stay on track or may have been told that they need to show "leadership" before they can get promoted to team lead.

Either way, focus on establishing your relationship with your manager. The manager assigns you tasks, not the senior colleague. If you disagree with your colleagues input, follow up with the manager to make sure your approach is correct.

Also, see if other colleagues are having similar problems (if your team is larger). If you are correct, you will probably find everybody on the team is simply ignoring them.
