No, not really. The evaporative losses are significantly less than a water-cooled thermal power plant of similar average capacity, even in desert conditions. And compared to water extraction for irrigation the water needs even to charge the reservoirs would be modest.
Ruby... Someone still uses that in 2019?
Many VPN providers (I think even AirVPN was in that list) even say today that Wireguard is too unproven (client and server) in day to day life (still new) and not audited. So VPN providers stick to the proven software for now (and some of the VPNs are simply to lazy to adopt to new tech).
woah, woah, hold on. don't let him walk?! just use the old way for finding evidence. data gathered by companies like google is mostly permanent, too easy to retrieve, and in one place. that's the real problem. nobody likes doing hard work.

However, whether it's Amazon or another, it doesn't change the fact that businesses are in general averse to do business with a company that has shown in the past that it will enter a new market if it sees money in it at the cost of its partner relationship.

Jude, thanks for the criticism. I’ll clarify a few things (however, Jeswin here actually covered all the answers really well, thank you Jeswin):
> So, it's not free. I'm paying for storage one way or another -- either by keeping it all on my always-on devices, or by paying you to pin it.
We meant that you don’t need to pay anytype anything when you use your own disk space or your own resources.
> So, when I'm not on the same LAN as the computer, Anytype is not only _not_ peer-to-peer by default, but also Anytype gets to see when people write data and learn how much data they wrote.
As Jeswin mentioned, these nodes are part of p2p model. What’s important is that these nodes cannot read users’ data (on top Anytype does not have central registry of users, so does not know who is who) and finally also as Jeswin mentioned it will be possible to change the default nodes provided by Anytype or disable them at all (in exchange of degraded reliability).

Based on this discussion, we will add a more detailed explanation of how it works to our site.

Her algorithm doesn't require calibration. The color chart in many of the photos is to demonstrate the effect, or was just habit when she took them.
It’s certainly much cheaper to simply block European users than to pay a lawyer to tell you what you need to change and then pay a programmer to implement these changes.

Blocking the few European users is probably the right decision from an economic perspective.
Thanks for answering, Jeswin! I agree we will add a more detailed explanation to our site

one addition to the story:
Exit from nuclear power in germany was already decreed by law several years before, by the then government of social democrats and greens.
This decision was reverted by the first (I believe) Merkel government, only to be reverted again few years later due to Fukushima.

Merkel is known for being quite pragmatic and following the path of least political resistance in most cases.
While the exit of the exit was very popular at that moment, I do believe that in this case she was sincere when telling that seeing the Fukushima disaster changed her mind. I guess it was humbling even for world leaders to see how helpless everybody up to the PM were in Japan in the face of what was happening.
The way append allocations work makes me think that you can't have classes on the stack? That seems at odds with the design goals of making the language suitable for high performance applications - I mean sure you can use structs for everything but at that point you're kinda giving up the benefit of using a modern language.
Yes and no - you will often see people trivialize or make excuses for harassers even if there is noting on the line for themselves. Nobody is scared of Asimov since he is long dead, but just look in this comment section.

How to Build GraphQL API in Python
The actual facility is one cost. Others include extending the grid to your new generators, and the benefit of the system in the article compared to those built out of mountains, etc, is that it can be easily built on the sites of abandoned power stations, which have all the infrastructure in place (or at least resurrectible).

I love these ideas though, including yours. As the article points out, it's definitely an investment area worth getting into.
I have literally never seen a setup where cloud came out less than ~twice the cost of dedicated hosting. I have seen instances where dedicated hosting comes out cheaper than putting your own equipment in a colo, but even that depends on being in a location where energy and property prices (and so colo rental costs) are high.

And this does factor in devops - when doing consulting I earned consistently more (because of more hours) from clients that went for cloud setups; often they'd end up spending more times solving problems that generally didn't exist in the first place in a dedicated setup.

I do see lots of people that keep assuming that the cloud players must be cheap because they're so big, but I just have never seen that bear out in practice - in part because of that attitude, the margins they can charge are far higher.

Cloud providers are great for ease and for the number of services they provide, but they are generally an expensive step up.
As far as I'm concerned the GDPR is great regulation that puts people before corporations.
It was just announced
It’s free without ads, but is it ethical? That’s the larger question to be asked. Say what you will about how big a cut the corporations get vs the artists, but you’re taking the service without paying for it, directly or indirectly. I hate ads just as much as you, but I also pay for most of the media I consume regularly, be it spotify, newspapers, even youtube, I contribute to various youtuber’s patreons. All in all I probably spend no more that $30 a month on these subscriptions, all ad free, and helping to ensure that the media I love can continue to be offered at reasonable prices. If you can’t afford it, that’s one thing, but you said you can, so...
Fair to a degree, I guess. Still, in the years during which I didn't work with JS, I picked like 5 other languages and even though they weren't exactly beginner-friendly I still managed rather quickly.

JS though, always has been the exception. I understand what transpiling and bundling and minifying etc. are. But the tooling is somehow... don't know, hard to work with. And sometimes you get errors even in newly generated projects.

It's indeed hard to articulate the problems but that’s because I've only done isolated toe-dipping for a while now, not because I don’t understand something. JS could still use shortcuts during development, a la the Parcel tool, and turn that into an universal approach in all of its ecosystem.
How many software companies have refused to run Windows because MS competes with them? How many OEMs went all in on Linux when MS started selling Surface computers?
analytics are fine as long as you use GDPR compliant anonymision of the users data. But it’s easier to just ask permission.

You can also run ad’s asking as you are not using targeted ad (which you are allowed to use if you ask for permission)

There are invasive ways of asking for such permission. Sites that do full take overs of the site or persistent bars that follow you around are just trying to annoy the user into clicking agree.
More power to them, I'm just wondering why because there are ample subsidies for this kind of research. Surprised I was challenged for this statement, is that sad, too?
GDPR adds a lot of regulatory red tape to things that were previously simple. It is not only for nefarious reasons that you might want to avoid GDPR.

Want to store logs? Now you need to make sure you're scrubbing any type of personal information from the logs. Want to use a third-party service? Now you need to make sure that you are using their GDPR-compliant plan, and that you are using their Amsterdam endpoints. Maybe you need to renegotiate your contract with them.

> If I point my web browser at a url, I am instructing it to download and execute whatever it finds there.

And your browser will download linked javascript from third party websites to make it run. As firefox downloads a codec from a third party to make the media you've requested run.

I actually agree about the conflict between this codec behavior and the Debian philosophy. But they need to come to terms with the much greater conflict with their philosophy that the modern internet experience presents.

Stallman, for all his faults, was right about a lot of things. We live in a world where people don't own their own books, and buy software on a subscription model. For a few years back in the late 90s and early 2000s it looked like free software was the answer. But the internet made an end run around it, and Debian, etc., hasn't caught up. We're all digital renters instead of owners.
Indeed, what they mean by "Moore's Law" is just the continuing ability to improve processor performance.

They're just saying they haven't hit a brick wall, but the fact is they have hit soft ground that's slowing them down a lot. The actual rate of improvement has been stretching out to a doubling every 2.5 to 3 years and that's likely to get longer still on a long term basis. It is possible some of these new techniques might give us some nice generational boosts from time to time though.
That's a "virtue out of necessity" kind of situation -- why would they care for that now that it wont advance as much anymore?

Back in the day though, all the "semiconductor manufacturing" industry touted and advertised strongly was its annual clock frequency advances (similar to how the camera industry switched from touting megapixel advances to low-light performance, video codecs, and other features).
Oh man. That’s embarrassing. You are of course right - it was Harry Harrison! Sorry about that.
Depressive Realism
Microsoft doesn't sell Azure on its technical capabilities or reliability or quality of documentation.

MS sells Azure by leveraging its position within existing enterprise clients to shill it to decision makers, offering discounts that actually don't mean anything once the total costs of projects are tallied up, and misleading decision makers about the proliferation of Azure by budling O365 and AAD and other bullshit into their sales figures.

The standard Azure sale to enterprise is entirely shut off to engineers or any technical decision makers.

Azure is Oracle 2.0. Stay away.
Some book may not fit your mind at the time and you may very well get stuck.

I spent 10 years on a one big abstract algebra reference book. Lots of honest and long efforts: zero knowledge out of it.

Someone here mentioned another book (5$ on ebay). It was an operational view on linear algebra (more data manipulation and applications than dry theory). Took 2 days to get me started. The difference was hard to believe for me.

Since then I never stay with one book on a subject.

What framework-agnostic HTML UI component library would you recommend? Most of the options I have seen either have framework-specific dependencies (React, Polymer, Aurelia, Angular, Vue) or are just low-level frameworks for building your own UI/web components.

Just for the last part, for everything else you can use duckduckgo (or qwant).

Anyway it is not such a hypotetical scenario, nazis were really killing the disabled persons based on their medical record (yes, qwant or duckduckgo for it).

Yes, it is a bad idea that doctors keep those data. If insurance companies get those information (and my dentist said he was already aproached by some company to sell dental records, I wouldnt be surprised if this is a common practice in states) you will have issues. Same with employees etc., even if nothing wrong with your health but there is x% chance that you get terminal disease.

Those records should be handed over to the patient, tamper proofed (no, not blockchain, just RSA will do fine) or stored, but encrypted with patient key. Actually when writting this I remembered that we (as in my country) are having a medical smart card that needs to be given to the doctor to access our medical records. Maybe we already have such a system.

Anyway it is a bit sick comparing google with doctors. The need and trust is on completely different scale not to mention that trust between doctor and patient is handled by laws and hippocratic oath since 257 AD.

Would you like to save data on Android
Datamore is a streaming data saver, available on Android 5.1 and up. It is a groundbreaking app, as it is the only data saver that saves streaming data, where large data savings can be made. Streaming data players try and stream at the highest bit rates, in order to ensure maximum video quality. Increasingly though, with advances in screen technology, a
significant proportion of streamed mobile video is becoming redundant, due to limitations in human vision. On such small
screen devices as mobile phones, there is a limit to what our eyes can distinguish, and hence benefit from in terms of clarity and sharpness. Pushing beyond those limits is simply wasted data. Datamore allows users to control the data rate a streaming player can use and hence maximises the users return on investment in their monthly data plan.

See: Richard Stallman.

edit: there is a causal chain between the sexist and racist dimension of early SF/F fandom, the cult of personality around Richard Stallman, and the tolerance for and excusing of sexism and sexual assault in modern tech culture. While I expect to be downvoted for even bringing it up, because it's a live wire of HN identity politics, I hope some people will at least consider that these things are not unrelated.
Not HN narration but a simple fact.

I'm not working with Rust but I just tried a quick benchmark by compiling a random project.

git clone https://github.com/hyperium/hyper

Full Build: time cargo build (1 min 42 seconds without download) (349K LOC total [0])

Recompile: time cargo build (2 seconds) (around 18k LOC)

I don't see the problem. The full build also includes all the 53 dependencies. So we are talking about a compilation speed of about 3.5k lines/s on a dual core 11" laptop from 2017 with turbo boost disabled.

I've personally worked on C++ projects where changing a single header can cause 5 minutes of compilation on an incremental build. Any slowdowns you have experienced may have been caused by a specific library or project.

OK, I'll clarify. His attitude was a product of the time. I love that his fiction had strong female protagonists, but his everyday attitude toward women is typical of the era.

Mad Men illustrated this very well (slight spoiler: especially consider what happened to Peggy, by Pete, early in the series..). Women were expected to take a lot 'on the chin'. After all, guys will be guys, right?

If others raised eyebrows about his behavior, it was only because it was more risqué than normal, but not out of any consideration for the victims.

@gorgoiler: that's a "classical" pumped storage facility, not the concrete (or stone) piston version proposed here.

According to this press release https://www.stawm.de/energie/strom/speicherung.html, in April last year they were hoping to be able to start building the Weilheim prototype by December. The seal technology was undergoing trials near the Baltic Sea (translating from the press release).

While this sounds interesting, building the "cylinder" and the "piston" to fit exactly at the huge dimensions they are envisioning, and getting the seal to work at these dimensions and in the long term sounds like a pretty big challenge...
