One thing you may or may not be missing is that most heating in the UK is done using gas fired central heating, air conditioning is very rarely used due to the UK's climate (even working from home there might have been 3 weeks in the year I'd have appreciated it).
"This is more akin to all the horses being dead"

In this case, the horses are far from dead, but people are unhappy about all the manure that stems from their use.

Accidentally, the problem with manure in city streets was a major motivator for a switch from horse carriages to early cars.
But military officers, school officials and senior doctors don't generally have to spend thousands of their own money applying for a job, with no guarantee of success, and they don't typically get to take a five- or ten-year year career break and then just stroll back into their old career again afterwards.

MPs who become part of the government often do fairly well out of it, obviously more so the more senior the government position(s) they hold, and there are a lot more members of the government than most people realise. But rank and file MPs often get a pretty raw deal compared to the kinds of alternative options anyone with the attributes to be a good MP would probably have.
There is a remarkable resemblance between complex systems and hacks, except for point 7 and 8 that are trivial in case of latter. Perhaps most complex systems are hack that have been around for long enough to make everyone believe that they are well thought of to be called systems.

> not a solution to food scarcity or security.

For a number of years we already produce more than enough food for everyone on the planet, the actual problem now is to deliver and distribute because in hot climate countries food spoils very quickly. Also some countries have complicated political situations and food help is seen as intervention. But in developed countries food distribution should be happening without problems.

Very realistic. There are some biomass plants in Germany generating either electricity directly or gas to use in other places.

They apparently aren't any more ecological than natural gas because the process generates large amounts of methane of which some is being released into the atmosphere due to the machines not being able to be 100% sealed.

Also the land needed for the biomass to grow is enormous.

I wonder what it would cost to build an exact replica of a Voyager and launch it on one of the newer launch vehicles? Obviously, we're not going to get a gravity slingshot off multiple gas giants, but considering that Voyagers were launched using Titan rockets, we should be able to give it a much better push from Earth orbit.
Also, the high-level nature of Java bytecode enables/simplifies many optimisations in the JIT.

For example, dynamic dispatch is handled by the JIT, it's not encoded into low-level Java bytecode instructions, so if the JIT can see there's only one class loaded that implements a certain interface, it can generate code that directly invokes methods of that implementing class, without going through a vtable. It can do this even across library boundaries. That wouldn't be possible (or at least, would be greatly complicated) if Java bytecode provided pre-baked machine code.

Modern JVMs also have pretty deep integration of the GC and the JIT, if I understand correctly. The Java bytecode format is high level so the JIT is quite free to implement memory-management however it likes. If the JVM took a truly low-level approach to its IR, we'd presumably be stuck with 90's GC technology.

I imagine it would also have implications for the way the JVM handles concurrency. It seems right that it defines its own memory model with its own safety guarantees, rather than defining its model as whatever x86 does.

It's telling that .Net took the same high-level approach that Java bytecode did.

Is nuclear fusion the answer to the climate crisis?
The solution to this is profiles. Profiles are the idea to combine extensions for specific fields. There are also special standard extensions that you can implement that overlap with the standard extensions for some special instruction.

If you want to only have core + popcount you can do that in your own core. The code will still be portable to all cores that have B extension. If there is a whole industry that needs that combination, it can just be its own profile.

There simply is no perfect solution for every possible solution. If you increase the core, you hurt those that have absolutely no use for some of these things.

RISC-V did an amazing overall job to find a combination of ideas to attempted to solve everything for all people but the reality is, no single thing they could have designed would not end up with some expert on HN explaining why the choice is wrong.

I agree with this to some extent. My issue with the public forum and ritual applause is that it becomes mechanical. In my experience, people are often left out or events are forgotten. I was sometimes baffled at the items that were being expressed, it felt a bit political even. Not saying a public forum like this can't work, just that it seems easy for it to go awry.

I've been publicly recognized and appreciated it, I've also received quiet thank you notes. I know I like the latter more.

> You can generally sense if someone could be a possibly good fit in 20 minutes of conversation.

The last position I hired for had 700 applicants. Paper filtered down to 75. Interview screened down to 30. Detailed interviews with 5.

How would you propose this work? 30 people seemed like a possibly good fit after 20 minutes. Should we randomly hire one? Should we hire all and have them fight it out madmax thunder dome style?

I think if the position has low startup time and is assembly line work or something we could hire all 30 and fire the poor performers. Outside of tech support, I’m not aware of any positions like this.

I’ve worked with managers who thought programmers were like this and would hire 10 or 20 at a time to see who stuck. It was very frustrating as an existing employee because they all had to be trained, reviewed, etc. After a year of arguing, I (and every other senior, over about two years) left that company.
Show HN: Recurring reviews to track the whole lifecycle of a product
Considering that the battery in a MacBook is non-removable, it's not just a corner case - it's a warranty-voiding act that the designers explicitly don't have to account for.
If you actually care about something, nothing is "tldr". If you regard something important as "too long", then you aren't doing due diligence.
Because you can't make an open ARM or x86 core. Yes SPARC was open before and not much happened from it, but just because something didn't work the first time, doesn't mean it not a good idea. The world is different now compared to then.

If we ever want to live in a world where we have open implementation that have a huge software ecosystem that is ready, we need an open well support ecosystem.

So, if you don't care about open source, then you don't care about RISC-V. If you do however, you probably should care.
The business model of 3 day free trials followed by $10 a week subscriptions? Nobody would pay that on purpose
Frequently done in Germany. Many farms have built "green humps", that is biogas vats with a green dome-shaped gas collection cover. Those can be fed with manure and any kind of decomposable biomatter, higher nutritional value is of course better. Since green electricity yields high guaranteed prices and gras or maize can be very cheap in some years, those humps are often fed maize and gras.

I think the biggest story here is UK electricity demand falling by 20% in short ten years. And this isn't a simple black/white, good or bad story. This is a clear sign of de-industrialization.

Hi! I was just looking into it, see my other comment below. FF is terrible at resizing on `drawImage`, you can render at half resolution [1] to improve performance, and the smoothness makes up for the lost definition. Other tricks like rendering offscreen don't really do much, I guess using CSS transforms or WebGL would be the only other options but a ton more effort.

Thanks for these, they are incredible!

More safety: always have physical NC relay in series with SSR for any AC application.

SSRs are super fun and useful. They are quiet, can be switched 100 times a second if you want more than just on/off control for your heating element and they won't wear out.

But they also leak current keeping the equipment under AC voltage even if not powered and have nasty fault mode where they just fuse and conduct as a very efficient short.

The physical relay fixes both problems.

I typically have current sense on SSR output so that my controller can compare output from SSR with what was supposed to happen and signal fault if the SSR becomes a very good jumper. So the SSR is only ever connected when the controller decides it should.

American or not, I suggest you check the bunch of propaganda videos showing Mussolini himself harvesting crops and his calls to the rural, natural lifestyle of the forefathers (his milk only breakfast being a good example accessible to non Italian speakers)

Judging from your comment I can assume you're not American, therefore you might be familiar with Coletti's study on the rural roots of fascism.

Have an excerpt that you might find interesting:
'''
One can not say based on these figures that Fascism has become strictly rural; one can only say that a good half of the Fascist militias come from the rural areas. Not only are we not ashamed of this, but we would like to proclaim — as a badge of honour — that Fascism in the Po Valley is today largely "rural".
'''

Lastly, one of the "good things that Mussolini did" (as his supporters love to repeat) is precisely the creation of agricultural land after the 1929 crisis. The n.3134 law on land quenching (legge sulla bonifica integrale) turned ONE THIRD of the land into agricultural soil (more here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_Land).

Its not 'under-debated' it been literally debated in every single forum that ever had a post about RISC-V. Its literally the most debated thing.

The reason its not very likely to happen is because we have a gigantic open source ecosystem that is unlikely to for free adopt your extension unless you pay them to do it.

At the end of the day, you simply can't force hardware designer into some standard unless your ISA is proprietary.
That not the point, though. The point is that the cost is invisible with exceptions. For example, there could perhaps be an alternate version of C++ where every function is required to declare whether it could throw an exception (and a very smart compiler proves where it's possible), or that -fno-except flag is inverted so you have to opt in to exceptions.

> It's still useful to determine a theoretical "worst case" that could occur due to usage of promises here.

I disagree. It's not useful if the benchmark is both unrealistic and only applies to theoretical cases. As said: no sane developer would ever do this kind of calculation "async."

The author of this benchmark could have spent the exact amount of time writing an article that benchmarkes towards realistic and practical situations, like reading/writing from/to disk, communicating with an API, a database etc.

You could argue that the benchmark is _only_ about the async/await/promise overhead, but that doesn't make sense either: everything you do in a script, application and what not is basically "overhead" at some point. For example, if you want to calculate the fibonacci out of 10 given numbers, just do it with a calculator and store the result in an array. Anything else is overhead. Actually, using an array is probably also overhead, depending on the situation at hand.
Call me pessimistic (I'm not) but I think it would take longer than 500 years to achieve a large enough population level to fully colonize the space around a star. You could assume that our current trend of declining population would reverse and we'd begin breeding like rabbits once we start living in space habitats but I don't think that's very likely. I think there's a good chance it would take us thousands of years to fully saturate a star system. We'd have to master living in space as well as building generational world ships/habitats that could traverse interstellar space on multi-generational journeys. Personally, I think the most likely state of affairs (if you assume a hard boundary of the speed of light) is that civilizations colonize a small group of local stars and then begin in-filling the space between them once they know how to build fully self sufficient habitats. This is similar to how we currently exploit the most resource rich areas on our planet and then develop out along transportation networks when we need more space. Outer space is three dimensional though so this process likely takes a much, much longer time. All that assumes no major breakthroughs that allow FTL or radical different modes of being though.
But hasn't yet. Thus, it's good enough for git today.
