Each library needs to be build a JAR, which isn't the case in Go - in Go you just put in the code URL (git repo / branch / sha1) and you have it. Also locks the dependency to that sha1, and crypto verifies it. So you get all the benefits of building an artefact, hash verification and central repo without having to do any of the work.
One of my friends is a physicist that had the plan to install a closed cistern under his house and heat it up in summer with mostly solar energy. Looked really promising and he had all the numbers figured out to supply a family home with heating and warm water through a normal winter. Didn't do it in the end because there were some problems with building a cistern on his property and the large up front investment necessary.

I wish you luck with your endeavor. I think you are correct that the problem of energy storage is the most important one to solve to allow renewables to really take off for general power supply.

I also believe that the efficiency of storage is secondary to a degree as renewables can supply an enormous amount of energy. So loss from pumps or energy conversions are nearly insignificant. At least at the moment where energy storage is in such a bad shape. Certainly a lot more promising than having batteries everywhere.

Ask HN: Mindmapping app with folding, loops and multi-root
I'm looking for a mind mapping app, and ALL seem to miss the 3 very basic features that I want:

1. folding/collpasing eg. a simple +/- system (like Freemind has) to selectively show/hide subnodes of a node

2. "loop" or "arbitrary connections" between nodes - I'm want to build a MAP, not a TREE (apps like Scapple have this, but they lack most other useful features) - and I do understand that "folding sections of a graph" is not a "solvable" problem in the grand scheme of things, but simple heuristics/hacks can work fine and are of immense help

3. multiple equal importance "root nodes", or allowing multiple disconnected subgraphs on a map

Is there anything out there, free or paid, satisfying these requirements? I know products marketed as diagramming tools (Draw.io, Lucidchart etc.) seem to satisfy my needs better, but they all lack folding/collapsing.

Are not all/most peoples using mind map apps in desperate need of this very same features-combo?! ...or am I just the weird one here?

On the other hand, we will have many more cases otherwise. Meaning more fatalities, though not at the "doom" level.

Public policy should still be to force vaccination, injuries notwithstanding, as the cost benefit is on the side of benefit. Allowing choice here is bad policy, as people will be hesitant even if outcome is always statistically better. (We do have a bias to focus on rare events, fear mongers exploit it.)
There is no actual reason to be hesitant, the few exceptions being rather clear cut.

The only thing that would be fine here is identifying allergies, vulnerable subgroups better and quantifying adverse effects more reliably.

I never understood the hate on people becoming parents before they are financially ready. There is a reason why the demographic shift is happening. I was born when my mom was in her late 30s. My grandmother died in her 80s before I even hit 18. How exactly are we supposed to maintain a stable population in these circumstances?
Having children suddenly became unreasonably expensive but yet we pretend as if the parents are the ones who did something wrong if they have children before their 40s. The situation is basically a reverse tragedy of the commons. The individual is bearing the entire cost of having children but then gets blamed despite the fact that the public benefits from a stable population.

I looked at Balena for my project but being tied so tightly to their eco-system and not being able to use it with regular Raspbian really put me off. However, one feature that looked useful was the ability to have one service per container and have them tied all together with docker compose. Do you support that architecture or does Deviceplace manage a single docker container which must contain all the services bundled together?

I do agree that the openBalena install docs are not great. To me they sound like a bunch of separate hacks all stuck together.

I've been doing reverse Bond showers for the past two weeks, where I start off with cold water and gradually switch to warm water. During the initial rush I can feel the "mammalian dive response" kick in as my eyes open wider and something in my brain goes, "Ohh shit, Dorothy! This ain't Kansas no more," then after ~20 seconds I switch over to warm water so I can wash.

Would switching from cold to warm water still have benefits?

Ask HN: How do you manage prod data in dev for machine learning modelling?
We are on AWS and Machine lerning team wants to have production data lying in AWS production environment into our development account for their model training.

You don't have to wait for the evolution.

While this problem exists independently of genetically engineered moths, since this already happened before[0], creating a void in an ecosystem might make this process easier.

Okay, so let's agree that cattle that end up in feedlots spend the vast majority of their time in feedlots ... they may have some milk and grass for the first few months of their life, but once they're in feedlots they're on primarily (90%+) grain, with some even more obviously dubious additions making up the other 10%.

These are animals that have evolved to digest various grasses, and get sick (to various degrees) when they eat any amount of grains.

Feeding them almost (is that okay?) exclusively grains makes them extremely sick - but happily (?) the high-grain diet ensures they put on fat (the bad kind, btw) fast enough that we can slaughter them before they have the opportunity to die from this diet.

People that find this acceptable only because they dispute a few percentile of grain quotient in the feed are unlikely to be swayed in any case, I suspect.

Sounds like you were mostly inconvenienced with noise, which I agree can be annoying, but I'm sure the safety standards, work hours, living standards of the construction workers, etc. were at a much higher level.

If you've been to China or some other third-world country then I'm sure you've seen first hand the living conditions these workers endure, the safety standards of their work, etc. I've had friends whose families were kicked out of their homes to make room for shopping malls.

Why are they even rushing to build these hospitals in the first place? There are plenty of empty buildings that they could turn into temporary hospitals instead. All of this seems to be just for show..

I am for research in fission, but it is expensive in deployment and it needs to solve the problem with nuclear waste in my opinion. I also think supply of nuclear fuel can be an issue, although there are some concepts for other types than uranium.

> look at German electricity prices

True, pretty expensive. But they also include capital for investment in energy infrastructure. Such as building lines to get power from the north (high production) to the south (high consumption). The implementation tends to slow, but there are other reasons for that.

Another example is Norway that uses 98% hydro power. Sure, they have topological advantages not available everywhere. But technologies like this could open up more possibilities.

So fission can be utilized, but I doubt that Germany closing plants was a terrible decision.
People didn't know that for sure - there was actually a fear that thermonuclear bombs would ignite the atmosphere and turn us into a sun.
Remember: it’s not whether their code is legal to use but to redistribute in a new way. If they have a contract their existing usage is covered without needing to go through line by line checking who wrote the portions which are still in use. One you add redistribution they have to go through and assess what needs to be renegotiated to add those terms. Given the age of the codebase I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not even clear who owns the rights given how many small companies sold code libraries back in the 80s and 90s before disappearing or being multiply acquired. That’s a non-trivial amount of new work which only has to be done to release the code.
