>> Those barnacles and algae act as an insulator

Maybe not. Barnacles probably conduct heat at a similar rate to water. And they create a rougher surface with greater contact area to the surrounding water. And some of them actively filter water, push it around. Perhaps having a layer of barnacles woudl increase cooling.

Thank you for clarifying. I still think those aren't good reasons to apply the labels. But at least now you've spelled out your justifications for those strong claims, which is more productive that the first paragraph of your original comment, since it allows others to respond. So I do not consider it trollish when phrased as your most recent comment does.

Also,

>I recognize that you might not like my questions.

My criticism wasn't about any of those.
Please omit swipes like "You clearly lack background knowledge" and "Umm what?" from HN comments. They just add poison to the community.

If you know more, that's wonderful, but please share what you know in the spirit of helping everybody learn, not putting other people down.

Getting frustrated like at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24473147 and going into a flamewar style is definitely not going to help. Of course it's frustrating to encounter wrong comments on the internet, but the fix is to respectfully provide correct information and explain the problems with false claims.

To be fair, he did campaign against that too.

At the same time, which do you think is worse for the chip industry, ARM being owned by softbank or being owned by Nvidia?

I agree with this, and adding a breaker between the UPS and load is probably the solution. The trouble is many UPS units have a set of controlled output banks and the ideal solution is extending controlled output to the wall breakers downstream of the UPS.

We just hired, for what we thought was something of a bargain price, a chap who spent the last thirty years working in a variety of software and hardware development positions. The aerospace industry is shedding people like there's no tomorrow (because for some of the industry, there isn't a tomorrow) so we got a good deal. I'm not ashamed to admit it; I had the budget for a mid-experience software engineer but got a bargain.

I've just had people from other departments compliment me on this new hire's first ticket. Had to check for sarcasm, but they were genuinely SO happy they sought me out to tell me what a great job he did.

The ticket was simple, the programming trivial and could have been done by a fresh grad (everyone's first ticket is deliberately simple so they can concentrate on the process and how to build and test and everything else), but the way he handled all the stakeholders and went beyond the bare ticket betrayed decades of experience. Like some kind of holistic software engineer.
I'd never author a paper directly in latex. That would suck. I'd author in Pandoc markdown, convert to latex, and then add tables and whatever using latex around it. It's pretty painful IMO to write documents in latex vs markdown.

I hear you. I have been watching Sir.David Attenborough for 2/3rds of my life. While I have a lot of respect for his work and his presence, hearing his voice causes PTSD.

Not long ago, I told someone that every time I hear his voice, either some creature is going to die or something is going to go hungry. There is no happy ending to this earth saga. I feel helpless most of the time and don’t know how to leave this world a better place.

I don’t know how pay my debt back to this planet. So far my plan is to arrange for my estate to consolidate all my assets to buy land and return it to nature. Not Ag..not gardens. Not habitat. Just return it to nature and let nature do what it wants.

How does this compare to Piesync?

It seems that the relational model plainly enough wants to be the gate keeper for your data model—it gives extensive tools for modeling and enforcing data schema, but it just kind of throws its arms up at data that is “OR” shaped. Some people argue that it’s because there’s not an obvious way to lay out sum type data in memory or on disk or on the wire, but these problems are all solved by traditional programming languages (data is data, at the end of the day). If you want to take the “different philosophies” tack, then it seems like a philosophy that only addresses AND-shaped data leaves a lot to be desired.
Weird to see you downvoted on a forum called "Hacker" News. Who would actually use repl.it to build apps as opposed to the traditional way of having your text editor + compilers installed on a machine you own? I think repl.it is great for prototyping or teaching, but it is NOT the "best place to build your apps". I would doubt repl.it engineers even use it to design their software.
I don’t really see how it works both ways. It’s hard to imagine a bigger scarier competitor to Samsung than the Apple iPhone, yet we agree Samsung is happy selling screens to Apple.

Yep. I haven't updated the site much lately, and quit twitter years ago.

Oddly, in the interaction with customer support I posted, there is one comment missing, and that's where the rep says the laptop is outsode the repair window (4 years).

On my personal machine, I used the repair program multiple times because the screens are just so vulnerable to delamination and damage.

To elaborate, when I experienced the issue on my machine in 2018, I also couldn't let them ship it out for a week. I believe they made a note on my file, which worked out in the end, but no subsequent technicians were able to rely on that note and had to do their own inspection
It's hard to imagine anybody getting in there while it's underwater without nation-state level resources. We're talking about a sub with a huge moon pool that you park on top of it, or a specialized cover that fits over the hatch or something. You also have to deal with the pure nitrogen atmosphere inside of the data center. All in all it seems a lot harder than bribing the guards at a regular data center to look the other way while you mess around with some servers.
What does it matter if the entire ocean is heated? Power plants aren't allowed to dump unlimited quantities of hot water into the ocean. Why is it OK for a data center?

But that's what working on a team is, I'd step in and help everyone take a step back and realize what we're all doing / can do for them and get back on track / save everyone weeks of trial and error. He'd show me some stuff too that I wasn't good at.

Good combo.

> You can add garbage collection to Forth

Sure, but to do this properly you'd need to get your hands dirty with the implementation. Garbage collection doesn't work well as a bolted-on library, it needs to be handled in the language implementation. Forth is no different from any other language in that regard.

> I can't say anything about adding a type system, because it's unclear what sort of type system would even apply here.

It's directly analogous to static type-checking in a 'normal' programming-language, except we use the stack for accepting parameters and for returning values.

It would ensure each word manipulates the stack in the expected way, ensuring that the appropriate number of elements are consumed and pushed, and that each element is treated as being the correct kind of data (type-checking should fail if you attempt to dereference an integer).

This has been done in the Kitten programming language. [0] Java bytecode verifiers do something similar.

> SBCL even lets you hook into the compiler, and I saw some article about someone adding vectorization to SBCL using only user-level code.

Neat. I like the idea of advanced optimisations as libraries, sounds like a good research topic.

> it seems like you're saying that "extensible" means "easily extended" or "doesn't take serious engineering." It just means you can extend it (and, I'd add, in a principled way)

Perhaps I seem dismissive, but it just doesn't seem to me like many serious language features can be done properly in extensible languages.

The latest major features in mainstream programming languages are await/async and borrower-checking. I imagine it might be possible to implement await/async using Lisp macros, but I really doubt the same goes for borrower-checking.

> In Lisp, you can (and do) define pattern match destructuring and lvalue assignments entirely using macros.

That's pretty impressive, but it still seems that there are plenty of useful language-extensions that can't practically be implemented in extensible languages.

I also never said they said this was rock solid evidence of life. I just said they took into account temperature and pressure. Never said other explanations were ruled out.
They can't be "too rich" where they are financially retired (they are not going to be in the same motivation level) but at least have some disposable income to engage in such an activity. It's a self-selecting network.

Why do people pay $150k to get an MBA at Harvard if you can pay $20k somewhere else and maybe get the EXACT same education? It's because you know 99% of the people there paid $150k and you have a "better" network.

Congrats guys from the team @ RudderStack. Glad to see more open-source products in this broad customer data space.

The USB thing, while not great, was a bit overblown. Official power source never had a problem.

As far as overheating, there are several passive cooling cases that handle the heat just fine. ETA Prime is one place to look for videos with tests.

No doubt you get more power and flexibility from a NUC, but Pis are pretty great for what they are.
But it's also the type of item, where, for the cost, you can get something 10x better. A VRX costs about the same, and can be wrapped in Aston Martin livery, but has hydraulics, multiple screens, and is really just a next-level experience.
What they would love is debate on the basis of this sketchy non-evidence, and it would fit in with the pathological nature of the science community today. Really they should simply be asked to show spectroscopic evidence of some other complex molecules.

People need to think less about people's university credentials when they assess credibility. Especially at places like MIT which burn through them like kindling.

Clara is a postdoc@MIT, and an expert in the _spectral lines_ of phosphine. The paper she refers to about known abiotic routes is really cursory and by no means exhaustively searches for routes to phosphine (https://sci-hub.tw/https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018....). It considers a handful of reactions for a compound which has millions of chemical equilibria. The most obvious omission is hydrogen sulfide which is all over venus.
> If the cofounder of ARM wanted it to stay a British owned company, why did they let it go public in the first place?

It's possible they just didn't have the foresight. It's not unusual to take and action an not understand all the potential consequences.

> "If you do not make Arm a British owned company again with a Golden Share for national economic security, history will remember you as the person who, when the chips are down, failed to act in the national interest."

> And then they blame this on the Prime Minister?

It seems pretty fair to me. If a plane crashes because the pilot is irresponsible and the copilot decides not to take action, it's reasonable to put some of the blame on the copilot. It seems like the Prime Minister is like a guy at the emergency controls who's the last one with an opportunity to change course.
I think that with the end of Moore's law, there is a gradual unwinding of software bloat and inefficiency. Once the easy hardware gains die away, it is worth studying how software can be better, but it's a cultural transition that takes time.

What "unregulated media" do you feel was responsible for "acceptance's first step"? I'm not an expert on this by any stretch, but I've studied both media history and LGBT issues, and the shows that get cites most often for doing a shocking amount of work in shifting American attitudes toward LGBT folk were, well, regulated media. Specifically, the network sitcoms "Ellen" and "Will & Grace," with earlier tentative steps in "L.A. Law" and, in the late 1970s, "Soap."

While "unregulated media" may have become leading edge in LGBT presentation in the years since, it's also become leading edge in reactionary backlash, from Fox to internet media to the right-wing propaganda pushed by Sinclair Broadcasting to their local TV stations -- which in many markets they wouldn't have been able to own if local TV markets were still more tightly regulated.

I'm not suggesting regulation is a failsafe panacea by any stretch -- I'm just suggesting that deregulation isn't, either. There is probably a balance to be struck, and it is not at all clear to me that the balance we have now is correct.
I would love this to be the case. If it really is this easy then I have failed my job as the head technologist of.. well, my family.

True, but signs that there is more than on disconnect are common in industrial settings. They are rare in house situations, but putting a sign on the main breaker box is probably enough to meet code. Though it would surprise the inspector.

We had a discussion on this in #gpu on our Zulip. The short answer is that if the screen is updating at 60fps, then FreeSync and its cousins are effectively a no-op. If the display is mostly idle, then there is potentially latency benefit in withholding scanout until triggered by a keypress. Older revisions of FreeSync have a "minimum frame rate" which actually doesn't buy you much; 40Hz is common: https://www.amd.com/en/products/freesync-monitors

>Those running the guild are probably not the best at a craft, just best at politicking and with the most vested interest. Those that would run a guild 900 years ago and VPs and CSuites today.

This so much, I often see people believe that if things were more organized the best developers would rise to the top, but the fact of the matter is the best developers don't like meetings and positions and what not they like developing. Often times the people that are most eager to tell people how to do their job and run their workflow are those least capable of doing it themselves and as such why they chose a position on telling others what to do rather than doing it themselves, a la the Dilbert Principle.

But that's just my 2 cents maybe I am way off, but it seems to me the people most interested in setting up more structure and organization to "empower" developers are those who I least want to represent me.
What terrifies me the most is that supposedly this company is planning to store a shit ton of hydrogen in the middle of the Phoenix metro area.

This doesn't show it worked. It shows that CA is connected to other similar companies either through a direct relationship or a tortured, barely tenuous connection (the slide on how some employees went to work for other companies in the same space is silly). Regardless, at no point does it attempt to even show that anything that CA did made one lick of a difference or that anything they did was even unprecedented in the space. For example, I don't believe for a second that Democratic campaigns haven't been using similar social media aggregation techniques in present and past elections. I even remember glowing articles written about how the Obama campaign was able to harness social media for purposes of political targeting and messaging.

So what are we talking about here?

And the entire thing is even more ridiculous in the larger context of how incompetent and disorganized the Trump 2016 campaign was.

Main use is a backup generator. Your electrical panel is supposed to have an interlock so you can get power from either than inlet, or from the power company but never both. When the power goes up you plug your generator in, flip a switch and your house has power. Legal and fairly common.
Apple uses the ARM ISA. It doesn't use ARM IP - as in, the design of the chip. Apple designed their own damn chip!

Since they're not branding it as ARM in any way, shape, or form, and they have a perpetual architectural license to the ISA, I suspect they could do pretty much what they please - as long as they don't call it ARM. Which they don't.
The OTP programming doesn't prevent the Pi from booting from an SD card, so it should be fine.
Some anecdata to add to the case.

My first job out of school was as a startup founder (10% ownership) where our new CEO was a sales guy from a healthcare company. Great at raising money, but no deep technical knowledge. We were building a music search recommender using mfcc spectrograms and ML. He decided to fire all the engineers and hire out to cheap overseas hotspot. We weren't especially expensive, being young guys, but nevertheless you could get 3 for 1 overseas...

The company shut down a few months after the local engineers left.
Yes, I thought that was clever. Also (not sure whether intentional) "when the chips are down."
Congrats on the launch! Very small thing, but I didn't initially see the database icon in the sidebar. Trying to `from replit import db` in Python and using the `db` resulted in an unclear error message about the REPLIT_DB_URL missing ("are we running on repl.it?")

Turns out I had to sign in to repl.it for the sidebar icon to appear and the code to work.

The documentation (and that error message) might need to reflect this? And/or should databases be available to all users (i.e., those who aren't signed in as well)?

---

Another issue: when going to https://repl.it/repls/HandyNiceBug (providential URL...) ;-) even when signed in, running the code shows the same `REPLIT_DB_URL does not exist` error. If you click the database sidebar icon and any of the 'Insert ->' buttons, then the env seems to update and the code runs successfully.

---

Hopefully useful nitpick: after clicking the 'Insert ->' button once in the db sidebar UI (in the url above), all of the 'Insert ->' buttons stop working.

Aaaand, if I try manually copying any of the code snippets to insert one myself, what's copied into the clipboard is not-the-best. Instead of copying `db["key"] = "value"` for instance, it copies it but with many extra new lines and some bits missing. Might be useful to have a copy-to-clipboard icon? Or do some DOM trickery to allow selection/copy&paste?

Cheers :-)
