Yes, it is a non-microwave "combi oven" convection/steam with precise temperature and humidity control. The breakthrough here is price as traditional professional combi ovens are incredibly expensive. Electrolux makes a small countertop model for about $2k but it does not review very well. Gaggenau offers a consumer built-in that requires plumbing for water supply at about $8k. The gold standard are the Rational commercial combi-ovens which start at about $10k and go up sharply from there.

In roughly the 140° to 250°F range, the combi ovens are super precise unlike anything else. Nathan Mhyrvold in his tome "Modernist Cuisine" says, (roughly), that the combi oven the single most useful device in a kitchen.

For lower temps, sous vide is more precise but, overall, the combi is more versatile.

Anova, along with Sansaire, was one of the first to introduce affordable sous vide circulators to the market so I have high hopes for their $700 combi.

As for a microwave with a user-visible humidity sensor, I don't know of one but I haven't looked.
Not popularity, but familiarity. You don’t have to play the odds if you already know what tools your team has experience with.
I think you might be confusing the Linux distribution with the desktop environment. "Plasma" and "Plasma Mobile" are examples of the latter, while "Ubuntu" is the former. One can switch desktop environments with a Linux distribution to customize its look and feel - e.g. if I install Ubuntu on my PC, I can choose Plasma (KDE's offering), Gnome, or XFCE to be my desktop environment. OTOH, I could also choose to install Arch Linux - a different distribution - and still choose between those same options (or more, I only listed 3) for a desktop environment to customize it.

Depends on the size of the battery and electric drive unit. Suzuki sells start/stop hybrids with a small battery where the electric motor is basically just an ICE starter. Also depends on how you drive it.
It’s not anti-EV sentiment. It’s anti-blanket-ban sentiment. Even a decade from now there will be some use cases where gas vehicles are a better fit than EVs. Instead of a blanket ban on new gas cars, it’s less coercive and more economically efficient to tax their externalities.

I’m not a fan of gas vehicles. The only car I own is a Tesla. Still, I’m aware that gasoline cars do have certain advantages and banning them outright seems more detrimental than taxing them.
You should consider realignment; maybe start with something like DSAlign or my wav2train project.
> the art/science of aerodynamics in modeling has fallen by the wayside.

You are not wrong. That is a valid lament.

But, this is the definition (or at least a very common result) of innovation/progress.

Tech/automation advances to the point that non-artists, non-experts can do a thing competently or even expertly. Photography use to require expensive equipment, skill, and knowledge. Modern advances in digital sensors/lenses/flashes/post-processing makes everyone able to take professional quality photos. There is, of course still masters and talented artists that surpass. But the floor for everyone has been brought up to expert level at least.

Same for film/video, driving, complex maths, and many more.
Yeah he’s extremely paranoid. He explicitly said I don’t want you to see the code because you may save it somewhere else and also said “If I were you, I would totally do that”
What's opaque or bad about a media library? They only exist because the filesystem is inadequate for cataloging and interfacing with the complex metadata associated with media files.
These are good news. However, one of the biggest unsolved problems of the EV industry is utilization and recycling of degraded battery pack cells. You can't simply take an old EV to a junkyard due to fammable and polluting chemicals in battery cells. Extracting and disassembling different types of battery packs is not something that can be done on industrial scale right now (unlike manufacturing). Only on the order of something like 5% of batteries get recycled [1].

Today each manufacturer is focused on achieving highest production efficiency with no coordination which leads to many divergent designs none of which are easy to recycle.

Are there are some new developments on the horizon before the world goes all-in and creates a new environmental problem?

I do not think we need to manage speech or control discourse whatsoever. If you think that's the idea here, you're not thinking deep enough about the nature of the systems that are problematic right now.

We've designed communication systems that are optimized for instant gratification, engagement, getting the dopamine hit of seeing things you agree with or angry at, and rapidly moving to the next. That's not speech, that's a designed system of attention seeking, all with the primary objective of getting eyeballs on advertisements and content primarily.

We've designed communication platforms that cause us to cease seeing each other as human beings, and instead condensed thoughts and memes that are simply repeated to conform and get reinforced for a quick natural drug.

I do not think we should control the discourse or have structural control over what's right or wrong to say or think; that would be absurdly dystopian.

I do think we need to change our systems to incentivize human context around that speech, and reinforce our own humanity in how we read and respond to it.

I think it's possible to design better platforms that don't bring out the worst in society, and that we should do so.

I think average consumption is wrong figure to be looking at here. You can charge EVs overnight when consumption is typically lower.
Here's my trick (maintaining a 15K star github project that gets a lot of issues filed): stay friendly and supportive, but encourage them to create a PR to fix the issue themselves (usually with me giving some hints how to).

It instantly filters out the low effort "I want you to work for me for free" people.

My aim is to turn as people as possible into contributors. You'd be surprised how often, especially with a few hints, go "hmm.. I guess a PR wouldn't be too hard and it be nice to contribute". And quite a few of these end up being repeat contributors, since a second PR is way easier than the first.

It also sends a signal: there's a gazillion things that could be improved about this project. Unless there is a contributor that is willing to make a PR, it is likely not going to happen.

And I spend a larger percentage of my time doing code review, which (as the BDFL) is more effective use of my time anyway.
I also came here to post that... the inclusion of a humidity sensor makes for an amazingly better Microwave oven. Who cares about the User Interface if it can do things no other microwave can, I'll put up with it.

Imagine finding a base microwave that works, adding the humidity sensor, AND a thermal camera of some sort... you could bring food up to temperature and hold it there. The tricky bit is shielding the camera from the RF field.
> If you walked up to me today and gave me the latest spiel about how Kamala Harris was born in Kenya to a two-headed alligator man, I'm going to walk away.

Except most of the so called "conspiracy theorists" don't talk about that stuff at all. They normally talk about how "this information Y is being supressed from the public because this will undermind the governments policy on X".

People always bring up the crazy the stuff to discredit the other things that could be legitiment. It must be some form of strawmanning.

> Online it's not so easy to walk away, so I prefer that you have alligator man conversations with other alligator man enthusiasts.

I don't have alligator man conversations at all. I just don't strawman the other side position to feel morally superior like you appear to be doing.

These headlines are always so disappointingly misleading.

From the article:

> Varies annually, but I'm invoicing anywhere between $175-275K per year on average. YTD, I've invoiced $258,170.57. I'm a freelance writer and subject matter expert with a small team 3-4 of subcontractors who help with production and research.

Invoicing $275K/year (gross revenue) and paying a team of 3-4 subcontractors is hardly equivalent to someone earning $275K/year.

These articles would be vastly more interesting and helpful if the people involved could simply break down their actual earnings. People always want to see how a business works. It's not helpful to read about stories where the actual interesting numbers are deliberately omitted to produce a better clickbait title.

Also, this interview is full of weird softball questions like "What is your gender and ethnicity?" and "Where do you live?" . Would have been far more interesting if they had covered how the person gets leads, how they network, and so on. It's not really helpful to know that "Organization" is a skill that helps this person thrive at work.
To be honest, all of those contributions could also attributed to local competitors which are doing the same thing if Google would disappear, there's competitors in the search and maps area, and unlike Google, they do pay taxes and bring local jobs, hence why the commission isn't receptive much to Google's arguments... Additionally the Google competitors in the EU are so small that nobody really cares if those laws do impacts them as well...

Android is probably the only exception indeed but I don't think that's nearly enough of leverage to counter the current trend.

The issue is that Google optimized profit so much in the EU that they even get rid of their leverage there. I do think they are right to fight against those laws (and I'm also personally against them) but let's be fair, at this point nobody cares what Google says in the EU. There's an idea in the EU that impacting Google's business won't impact in any ways the local economy and that's hard to prove them wrong with the way Google is setup.

I thought they were only allowed under the earlier, 2035 target, but when the target got moved to 2030 then the exception for hybrids disappeared as well? Or have they changed their plans again?
Much like YouTube, there are false DMCA claims and takedowns as well. Counter claiming and appealing leads to a byzantine support hell that widely favors larger content corps, much like YouTube. But even in the case of false takedowns, your only recourse is the legal system, which is simply way to expensive to access for most Twitch steamers.

And good luck to you if you get three of them and a ban before you have a chance to respond and appeal. Or a DMCA claim on one of a million ancient clips, or even one that you already deleted.

Muting is one thing, and somewhat more acceptable. Losing your livelihood altogether is another.

When I switch TV programs I might view a program for 1 minute before I decide that I don’t like the content. The next day when I look for something to watch I might tune into the same TV station again for a minute before moving on. I am not a “user” (viewer) of that TV station despite checking it out for approximately a minute each.

My current Twitter “usage” is the same concept. You decide if you call this a Twitter user or not.
If the policy is "you are either with us or against us" it'll suffice.
The UK is doing this too, in multiple ways. Vehicle excise duty for vehicles 2001 onwards is based on CO₂ emissions. Fuel duty too. And on top of that you have the low emission zones and London and two more cities next year, where you can still drive, but have to pay a (steep) fee if your vehicle isn’t to up to the right standards.

Setting a date well in advance is also helpful for production planning, it gives the market some certainty in developing their products for the cutoff, and this has to be done early to be useful.
Well, if after 13 years of relationship he planned a marriage and did not noticed his girlfriend planning to leave, there was probably something deeply wrong with that relationship in the first place. A marriage would not have likely not changed that, only cemented. Probably also nothing what he wants to hear, but maybe what he needs to hear. Truth can hurt.

Alternative is digging into self loathing of how he should have proposed earlier to make it work, etc.
I use something akin to

'alias downloadmusic='youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-quality 0 --extract-metadata'

I find that helps with the annoyance of downloading things off of YT. This is for music obviously, but there's an option to download subtitles as well.

EDIT: Typed this from memory, there may be errors in the alias.

I've never found the need to buy a car in my life. I'm 34. I commute everywhere by bicycle, and my partner (who also doesn't own a car) and I get heavy things delivered. It is possible, and, for the sake of the planet, I really think that this is a great thing that we should be celebrating. Most people on the planet live in cities, and I really think that we should try to wean them off fossil fuels.
>The solution in those cases is to not try to solve it, but instead to let the 'emotional' part of the brain do it's natural function and simply process the emotions. It's difficult because the emotional part of the brain does NOT have the ability to use language. It evolved hundreds of millions of years ago, and is the deepest part of our central nervous system, and absolutely necessary for our survival. It can not be shut off or ignored. And in the case of depression, it may or may not be "normal" - but it is doing it's job.

If you try to fight stress (which masquerades itself as problem-solving) it will create more stress. When you're okay in the present moment -- you've let go and accepted how you feel through recognizing the stress is temporary like a rain cloud; it will go away without doing anything -- you can passively and non-interactively observe what is going on, which is the beginning of learning. This learning then turns into answers or at first something to talk about with a therapist. Therapy can help quite a bit with this one. This process of passively observing in a relaxed state no matter how bad you feel, is called meditation, and it's what you're talking about, "let the 'emotional' part of the brain do it's natural function and simply process the emotions".

>And while you can do that if your depression has an obvious cause. . . there are tons of people who are depressed for no obvious reason - OR - there is no way to get out of the situation that's causing it.

That's not really true though. The high majority (88%) of people who go in for CBT therapy are cured from their depression in under 3 months, and of the majority who do not, the largest group is avoidant of psychological work. Yes, there is a small subset of incurable depression. The current theory is it has to do with ones gut biome, but those are estimated to be around 1% of people with depression, and for the majority of those people antidepressants do nothing. They have this constant stomach ache. However, those people can still get benefit by learning how to deal with the situation and live a happy and healthy life. Eg, changing diet can remove many of the symptoms. Calling it depression is even somewhat controversial, because of how different it is from all of the other kinds of depression.

People have yet to realize how far modern psychology has come, in part because most psychologists today practice an ancient form that barely, if at all, helps.
It's not "an abomination of a workflow", and it's very possible for communities to have difficulties in scaling with a mailing list and have a bus factor of 1 despite plenty of movement on the mailing list.

Git also had a git-request-pull command that prepares a mail with the same information that you can find in a pull request on GitHub even before GitHub existed.

There is no "one true way" to Git and if organization to adapt their workflow to their needs they can have issues both with mailing lists and the centralised forge model.

How do you expect this to change? Whatever the downsides of electric cars, rampant global warming is clearly much worse. (And yes, stopping it will require more than just switching to electric cars.)

Perhaps if electric vehicles were mandated, fast charging stations would be more widely available...

> I'm afraid that if you're focusing on the technical merits of prototypal inheritance vs classes, you've missed my point completely.

That's not what I'm focusing on, and I don't know how you've managed to interpret my comment that way.

In your comment, you said this:

> Why were ES6 classes and hooks invented?

That's why I used classes as a concrete example of the larger point that I was trying to make. My point is that change is fine, but just continually adding stuff to appease people is not necessarily a good thing. All that's happened to JavaScript — as I already pointed out — is the foot-gun now has a wider blast radius and less travel on the trigger.
Has the 'overton window' of coffee consumption shrunk so completely as to exclude the European way of drinking coffee?

Why can't we just walk up to a bar, order a coffee, have it served in a ceramic cup? I guess the majority of coffee shops not actually having a bar is a bit of a hindrance!
I don't think it needs to be everyone.

If we can think about 5% of the population who simply have different life situations and backgrounds having a better appreciation for why they think what they do, and those 5% become less extreme and more understanding of compromising for the benefit of others, then you've just changed society completely.

The country of Haiti? Réseau de Développement Durable d'Haïti is an autonomous non-profit that acts much like a government department. They're actually also in charge of Haiti's internet backbone, so are less likely to be inclined to come up with arbitrary rules or suddenly change what is acceptable for the ccTLD. They have bigger concerns.

The problem is lack if EV infrastructure. And good luck to you if you live in the Outer Hebrides.
I wrote a bit about it here in HN [1]. Not everyone is the same but for me quitting gave me back the chilled mood and personality I had before starting with coffee several years ago. I didn't realize coffee took it away until kind of recently.

Definitely my personal feelings. I couldn't imagine the practicalities of owning an EV in central London. Assuming you're lucky enough to own/rent somewhere with some kind of parking - good luck trying to get them to install charging points. Most of the time it's a struggle to get the windows cleaned.

Whilst most of the petrol stations near me are pretty shabby - it's easy enough to get fuel.
Who is going to pay for all this infrastructure?
Taking this idea further, maybe part of the problem is that platforms reduce the quality metric for posts down to effectively a single dimension: upvotes / likes / thumbs up.

What if there were separate dimensions for: Factually accurate, Morally agreeable, and Polite?

A machine learning algorithm could quickly work out which groups of users have different ideological positions, and which topics are likely to devolve into flame wars, so it could require that users have a minimum politeness score to be able to participate in a debate.

It could also, as you say, check for echo chambers forming and incentivise people with differing opinions to enter a discussion to balance it out.
Let me push back one more time. If what you're saying is true, and no judge no matter how much integrity they have can be truly originalist - what do we do? Is our judicial system dead? Should we even try to pick originalists or give up on a third branch and let it be a super legislature? What comes of rule of law? Doesn't this seem like a problem?
This will end up being like Conservapedia.
The climate doesn’t care about economics, only total parts per million of atmospheric CO2. It is mind boggling it’s taken us this long to appreciate the gravity of the situation and new combustion vehicle bans are kicking in.

I’m sure even when crop failures and mass migrations happen, some will still complain about their rights to burn fossil fuels for energy. We pulled progress and growth forward through incurring an enormous energy debt (burning ancient sunlight for 100+ years), and now it’s time to pay it back.
