The warranty for most residential solar inverters is around 10 years, though often prorated towards the end of that timeframe. 7 years does not sound crazy, though with good cooling and and decent quality it's probably a tad low.

First of all, ethereum computations are ran redundantly on all full nodes. This means the cpu power of the network is in kHz or less.

Secondly, computation is a proxy for energy consumption, which is how most crypto mining costs correlate with. Every electronic device in your home is simply a space heater without a fan. It just happens that the devices do useful work while heating up the circuit wires in them.

Why the U.S. Should Be Shipping Its Vaccines to the Rest of the World
A definite case of the pot (US), calling the kettle (China) black.
Let's run the numbers!

- Every 4 years our production doubles
- Meaning every year our production capacity increases by .5 (or 5 times every decade).
- The first year (2020) starts at 165GWh capacity production
- The total energy use of the world (in 2013) was 157,000 TWh.
- Annual growth in energy demand was 40% between 1990 and 2008.
- 20% for the US
- 150% for China

Let's calculate solar energy generation capacity using the growth estimates provided.

2020: 165GWh
2030: 825GWh
2040: 4.1TWh
2050: 20.6TWh
2060: 103,1TWh (estimated global demand of 400TWh by this point)
----
2061: 154,1TWh

So assuming:

- Production capacity and panel efficiency does not increase (which it likely will)
- Solar will be the only source of energy (it's more likely to be one of a few technologies used)
- We don't factor infrastructure changes, space or installation time.
- We don't factor the consumers being ready for energy in the form of electricity (electrifying industry, cars, homes)
- We don't factor in the environmental impact of producing panels.
- We assume grid scale batteries that can handle buffering exist already and are installed

Seems like there is reason for cautious optimism. We have to see how governments go about rapidly normalising our energy usage to electricity (banning new purchases of gas cars?), upgrading infra and how they will generate the remaining electricity (LNG, nuclear, coal?).

We can expect to see our 2013 energy usage met with solar alone by 2060. Might be reasonable to use solar exclusively by the turn of the century (2100)

If the growth in energy demand continues to rise at its current levels, by 2060 we might see an energy demand of 400TWh.
This indicates that with the currently predicted solar production scaling, solar can cover half of our energy requirements.

There are enormous challenges with things like rapidly electrifying the automotive industry, mining the materials required to meet our grid scale demand, fabrication of the components, integrating a technology that isn't plug-and-play compatible with our grid infrastructure and supporting an IO model from every node.

Why would I spend any time stepping through lines I'm not interested in? I set breakpoints on the important parts and let the program run until a breakpoint is hit.

I stop at a breakpoint only after another breakpoint is hit all the time. You set the first breakpoint and run the program. It gets hit and pauses, you set the second breakpoint, then resume.

I'm just not getting how print debugging is the better experience.

This is probably because they don't mean the apology, they were forced to write it by their administrators.

And to be honest, I kind of agree with them. I don't really see what they did here as particularly bad. They demonstrated a very serious vulnerability in the linux kernel development process. I guess the harm they caused was wasting maintainers time, a bit? But what we all got out of it is the knowledge that real bad actors could easily have done this too. It's odd to me that people are focusing on like, the etiquette here when such an important vulnerability was demonstrated.

I guess the problem with baking it down to "the best x" is that it's too subjective. At least if there's a few choices, and people can add to them relatively easily (a PR with little friction) people can kind of choose the best for them.

Wow this looks dope. I'll try it out.

I just realize that you are the author of https://github.com/ggerganov/hnterm. I just came across with it recently while finding some HackerNews apps on GitHub. If I understand correctly, `hnterm` seems to use the official Hacker news API for rendering. I found it quite hard to use compared to the HN Algolia APIs. Do you have any suggestions on how to utilize the official APIs better?
If you import a GPL library into your plugin your plug-in / add on is now GPL. They don’t want that.

Personally the biggest obstacle of using a debugger is that it cannot be automated easily. You have to be present when it's triggered. You have to navigate it manually. When the program crashes again, you have to repeat the process. I know some debuggers can be automated but then you'll have to debug the debugger script.

Logging is much nicer because you can turn the exploration process into a text analysis problem. Logs can be searched, stored and compared. For me, sifting the log is much easier.

Whenever I try to write a medium-sized program for a serious kind of purpose, the first thing I do is to set up a nice and reliable logging system. This is the decision that you won't regret for the rest of development.

I would argue that the use case of a debugger is much narrower than logging/printf debugging.

Maybe technically, in the sense that there has to be some sort of overarching enforcement and regulation to have a market.

But the major advantage that the free market has is that it is much better than the government at assessing the relative size of positive and negative externalities.

The government consistently underestimates the positive externalities of free market activity. Much like in this case - the people advocating that the government subsidise solar power and commit early have all been shown to have badly misjudged the situation. The free market is much better at getting clean power to people than they thought.
This isn’t casual conversation. This letter should be a full, formal apology.
Trusting Trust actually says that vetted source isn't enough! Fortunately it's been defeated (https://dwheeler.com/trusting-trust/), such that vetted source and multiple compiler executables that are unlikely to be compromised in the same way can be enough if you use them carefully (which, to my knowledge, we don't).
Wasn’t it the case that in their last exchange with the maintainer (that email that caused all the stir) they were accused of submitting patches that did nothing at all and wasting time in doing so? In this letter they claim these patches were real fixes.

Having got their University banned and overturned the effort it took to write 190 previous patches from others which have now been reverted, it seems likely to me that they are under internal pressure. In all it makes me doubt the sincerity of any of this especially given the tone in the last email with the maintainer. A lot of sudden learning seems to have taken place between then and now.

I wish this were true, but it's really not. Not remotely. It's garbage. bradfitz's twitter thread[0] does a good job enumerating the problems. My shortlist: unable to comment on arbitrary lines; unable to comment on specific/old commits (surprise! you force pushed and they're gone anyways);

The traditional term is "patch set" -- you apply the patches in series.

Again: why? Because they have a grudge against the GPL's anti-DRM?

That's still FUD. There is nothing that a studio would be doing with Blender where they would want to implement DRM.

Sure, they will want DRM to be used in the distribution of the content they make with Blender; but that is totally separate from Blender itself and the GPL. It's not like the film itself will contain a copy of their asset creation or rendering pipeline!

Basically--totally useless or, if I'm being polite, nothing a modern FPGA couldn't do a hundred times better.

The worst part is that you don't need a zillion transistors to build an interesting chip.

I think this response misses the point. The purpose of an apology is to make the recipient feel that you're sorry. That means thinking about how word choice is received is critical in crafting a good one. Your parent isn't saying the author's choice of words is in "bad faith", they're saying the author's word choice falls short of an effective apology due to a mistake that's common and easy to make. I agree, and I have done this myself in the past.

IMO, the solution isn't storage. It's ways to use cheap energy. As solar energy becomes an increasingly large part of the grid, there are huge incentives to re-structure electricity demand around when solar is producing heavily. One possible way this plays out is that we start doing things like water desalinization to produce fresh water, and electrolysis to produce hydrogen during the day when electricity is free, and getting heavy energy industry like aluminum smelting to shut off in periods where demand is higher. Some amount of grid storage will be necessary, but I'm guessing a lot of the solution will be shifting demand rather than supply, since it's a lot easier to turn off machines than to store enough electricity to keep them on.
I think there is still latency to consider, especially if you have users around the world.

If you fetch invoices, and after receiving them you fetch ids of order items, and only after that you fetch actual order items, it will take 3x longer, than if you fetch everything in a single request. This can mean it could take 3 seconds to get the result, instead of 1 second with GraphQL.
