If you like the cruiser look up the karkovchanka, they’re dedicated expedition vehicles from 20 years later (which helped a lot technologically and thus they were significantly more successful).
If we got to the point where cost wasn't a factor would the carbon footprint be extremely low? I assume at some point we'll be unable to ignore climate change and our survival will depended on minimizing it using large amounts of energy from a source that doesn't have a high carbon footprint.

I’m not sure if this is a Danish thing, but here you can add an electronic appliance insurance to your regular “indboforsikring” which is the policy form that covers your home and all the shit in it.

They come in various forms, but mine covers anything from throwing a wii controller into a TV to losing your laptop in a bag or having it stolen. It also covers all family members and is $80 a year.

It does require you to pay the first $230 of damages, so it’s not very useful to protect smartphone glass or other small damages, but it covers all the big stuff and it makes “do you want to buy extra insurance for your appliance” really easy to answer with a no.
This was the most useful app I found: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/ioverlander/id894352689

- offline first (tho the background map didn’t work, but the items on the map were there which was more critical)
- wiki style info, so it was usually accurate

Built off OSM maps, and I think data entered into it was fed back to OSM. Tho that portion was vague.

Let me know if you make something.
Features include:

Semantic Release, Issue Templates, GitHub Actions, Codecov, VSCode Launch Configurations, TypeScript, Husky, Lint Staged, Commitizen, Jest, ESLint, Prettier
So what? The asking price is just a starting point for negotiations. It's almost completely meaningless.
A bit off-topic but it feel like the right time to ask, does anyone recommend some video or even book to understand the fusion space better as a non-physicist?
I had the same thought; they make it a strange and off-kilter read

> Web still has by far the best developer experience + cross platform stability, not to mention the lowest barrier to entry. I would be really interested to see what happens with Tauri[1] as that looks like a more promising alternative to Electron.

Compared to what?

C code I wrote in the 90s in middle school still compiles. JS code I wrote two weeks ago probably doesn't because the mountain of dependencies has shifted somewhere.
Might I suggest you to take a look at "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius?

It might be a long shot, not maybe you can find some peace in it...

I honestly feel like this is it for native Windows apps. It's over. GTK+ and Wayland will be more supportable in the future if WSLg gets pushed out far enough.
Trigger warning
OLED screens are still surprisingly expensive IME, especially at the high quality Apple procures. It's $200 for a modern iPhone screen itself on eBay, and adding labor plus Apple tax it doesn't seem that insane.
But when your iDevice breaks, you don’t necessarily go to Apple to fix it. Increasingly more, yes, but iPhone screen and battery replacements on the cheap are common where I live (compared to Apple costs).

Mac repairs aren’t anymore, but non-Applecared people might switch off the Apple platform if the cost to repair is too high.

It’s possible that AppleCare is a win for both Apple (customer retention) and the customer (lower cost to stay within favorite ecosystem) because it is NOT a zero sum game between them - there are many other players in the game.
Is job security a thing that any programmer is worrying about? I'm a ruby developer and I recently sent my resume to a recruiter and had a new job 1 week later and my impression was that there were 10 other listings from this recruiter who would have hired me had I finished their interviews.

I don't have any particularly rare or specialized skills. Only 6 years ruby experience.

MIT is also the origin of Transatomic Power which went belly up after they discovered that an early math mistake meant that their whole plan was bunkus, so evaluate this on its own merits rather than assigning any halo points from the MIT name.
Yeah I watched a couple of his talks, enjoyed every word. There is another interesting language (won't mention the name) but the creator won't let the public in and has a superiority complex, turned me off instantly. I believe Zig will blow up just because of the strong vision but without being a dick about it. It's next on my list for sure.
Ahh no sorry, I was suggesting that it would have been more expensive and more difficult for somebody to win a defamation suit against a US company.

Don't get me started about the mandatory bargaining code. I think the ISP should have held their ground and pulled out of Australia.
The 4G tower about 500m puts out about 5x what my phone does. I shielded my bedroom with the paint and its close to zero now. I'm not really thinking much about 5 yet, too early for my area. I do agree with your statements.
That's the problem with Conspiracy theories, people tend to polarize in order to avoid being flagged as such. I think that, indepently whatever you think about 5G and its implications. It's a new tech, and it must be studied thoroughly with highly accurate methods, specially if there are used to regulate and prevent damage of any kind.
We have plenty of Windows-only customers. We're still giving them wrapped web apps when they ask for desktop applications.

Because even if the customer is all-Windows, developers sure aren't (unless you're a C#-exclusive sweatshop, maybe?), and stuff like Bootstrap+jQuery is more stable than Windows GUI toolkits these days. Lower development costs and lower ongoing maintenance costs, win-win.
> How is that reasoning specific to fusion?

A major cost of the most utilized existing power plants (coal and natural gas) is fuel. If you build a natural gas plant which is twice as big so that you can put it out where the land is cheaper and eat the transmission losses, now you need twice as much natural gas.

Renewables don't need fuel but their construction cost is fully linear, you get no economies of scale. If you want twice as many solar panels then you need twice as much land. If you want to double the size of your fusion reactor, you build an eight story building instead of a four story building on the same piece of land.

> Unless fusion power is dramatically more efficient than other thermal plants, like 99.9%, your bigger plant will still need massive heat removal structures and systems, which means siting them near water. All the good spots are already taken.

An obvious solution is to build them out in the ocean. Then you have plenty of water and you're still not near anything.

And the good spots near population centers are already taken. Some lake a hundred miles from any city won't be.

> I neglected to mention finance costs also. With an untried technology the rate of return demanded is going to be very high, further driving up project costs.

That's only true for the first one. If it's hypothetically ten times more power for the same money, that'll get one built even at a high interest rate. Then once you have it running it's proven technology.
Yeah, this stuff is complicated any way you go: puppet, chef, ansible, Cloudformation/CDK, Terraform, K8s all have non-zero learning curves.

Processing transactions is probably 2% of what a bank actually does.
I don't have the same recollection Solomon does and I was in the room. The Google guys had an opinionated view of the world based upon experience and wanted logical justification for why their method was not superior.

Solomon's "outsider" comment is ironic since multiple of us in the room from Docker did, in fact, formerly work at Google and go to Stanford. He walked into that room assuming Google would have those prejudices and that's all he could see.

He specifically said winter but having 68-74°C at minimum sounds terrifying too, honestly
>You are right, people who flippantly dismiss fusion just don't understand it.

I have a couple of physics degrees, hot fusion is the energy of the future and it always will be. This is not a physics problem, this is an engineering problem and we are just not willing to invest enough money to solve the engineering.
I read HN first page almost daily, for international news I read BBC, I am from Romania, Eastern Europe sand I had no idea that this happened to your friends or for other people.

Canada does not popup that much in the international news. Maybe I missed a similar article on HN were the majority had the exact oposite reaction like in this one?

you just put a fan filter on the back, you can increase the amount of filters to not hurt the fan motor as much by making a triangle config or fan on top of 4 filters in a cube. fans are for air throughput not static pressure so real air purifiers have squirrel cage blowers

> I view AC as “phone as a service”, which is reasonable.

They really should have done this with their Services Strategy, not trying to push Apple Music, TV, App Store etc.
very nice write-up. also reminds me of spurious correlations.
Wow, that's a pretty lazy and misleading description of the situation.

He was stripped of citizenship and it was instated 3 times by the Canadian court system. Why? "2013 Supreme Court ruling that guilt by association is not sufficient grounds to be considered a war criminal."

What you called "sheltering nazi war criminals" I would call due process. You know, not actually punishing people unless they've been fairly judged as guilty according to the law.
I wasn't saying it was fine. Supermax, though, would mean solitary the entire time as well as some other differences.
We’re not demanding native apps at all. We’re demanding apps that work on our system of choice and get regular updates.

If Electron is what it takes then I’ll use an Electron app and not care.
> A company wouldn't offer it if they didn't expect to make money

Companies certainly offer 'extended' or longer warranties compared to a competitor as a selling point with the intention to deny all claims and issues. Asus is particularly bad about this.
That was a sad read. I have always respected Glenn because he fights for the truth. She should not have said something so exaggerated and vague just because he associates with people she dislikes, especially since he hasn't spoken to her in many years while her statement sounds like he is a monster that has been attacking her. Very manipulative. Politics has melted the brains of so many.
AWS is a global scale mainframe[1]. CDK programs are “programs” that run on the AWS mainframe[2].

Lambda is the most “basic” FFI from the world of AWS programs to the world of business logic. ECS/Docker does less automatically (eg, less permission management or environment management), but in exchange you get more open/generic “compute” for your own logic. EC2 is the freest, but again at the expense of even less automated security or environment management.

There’s times for all of those — but considering it’s a 1 liner to make a folder into a Lambda in CDK programs, there’s a reason Lambda is popular.

This book looks fantastic - just perfect to capture the interest of the layman. If it ever get translated to my language it is going on my coffee table as well.

Did you coin the term Cambrian Radiation? Though I agree that the term Cambrian Explosion may mislead, I fear that the term Cambrian Radiation might confuse. If a new term is to be coined, wouldn't Cambrian Diversification be an obvious choice?
The big difference is that all three of them are still fully supported, and continue to receive updates.

On Windows, 90% of UI toolkits are deprecated with no support, no bug fixes, nor migration guides.
Only in the US. In Canada and Europe of course you get retirement and healthcare.
Please explain how it generates that much electricity that cheaply.

Direct conversion is theoretically about 60% thermally efficient, on par with combined cycle gas generators.
Today it's illegal to install diy water power experiments in rivers which is a throwback to ancient times when rivers were transport routes ... It's time people force the government to wake up and act responsibly with the foresight needed to encourage such changes

You don't need to be modest! I thought it was pretty precise. I especially like the part where the white man is the only one able to stand against (((them))) and fight against the pseudo-communist world government.
They can go around staying whatever they want. But the fact is they have never had nor will they ever have the statistical basis that covid regulations have. I can, right now, google covid and be presented with all statistics broken down by days, countries, continents etc. We can start comparing TSA and covid when TSA starts presenting their statistics.
Which is why Apple is doing everything they can to serialize parts like the display. They always have been the worst about locking out third party repairs since the second Jobs era.
Canadians living in the US on work visas have the same worries when reentering the US.
How is this any different than denatured alcohol today? You can buy 100% ethanol very cheap if it's been poisoned so you can't drink it.

If you choose to drink it despite a big skull and cross bones on it, was the US gov't trying to kill you?
If only ~30% of CO2 emissions are from power-plants (at least in the US, probably higher globally considering developing nations) then replacing those installations with fusion won't directly zero things out...

... But if "cost wasn't a factor" then we could just simply dedicate the electrical output of fusion plants to brute-force CO2 out of the air.
I built one with lots of sensors along these lines. Very useful during smoke season to try to balance co2 and pm.

I’m not referring to giving or philanthropy, I’m referring to the ”suffering erases sins” mindset perpetuated by Christians.

It is Jesus’ final message.

Sin does not exist, they made it up to make themselves and others suffer.

Have you considered that some people are so keen on giving away their fortunes because it makes them suffer more, and thus makes them think they are now cleaner in God’s eyes?
As a physician, I think it comes down to circumstance and goals of care. If I was in my forties and had several young children, I'd want everything done to be able to see them again. Even if I knew it was "futile".

This is why palliative care is so important. All of our goals in life are vastly different all the time, even cycling every week.

But it's also not really functioning is it? Once you've eaten the forbidden fruit, taken the redpill (the movie one, not the political one), you can't go back, you're screwed.

Living on a lie that you know to solely exist for comfort is not the same as genuine belief, and it is fundamentally broke. If you just run back into the matrix and pretend it's real because it's pleasant, in a sense you've managed to be more nihilistic than the nihilist and in a way schizophrenic because you have to live something you actually know not to be authentic.

There is a lot of figures in our culture today who basically advocate this. People who declare themselves to be atheists but tell disoriented youth to just 'pretend to believe'. And it really has the quality of LARPing. It will not move anyone forward philosophically.
Nah, they just take regular dextroampehetamine - methamphetamine is particularly neurotoxic.

There probably is some shadowy special-forces division that gets the cool stuff but I gather that even amongst the USAF's endurance fighter squadrons you won't see much stimulant use: it's too much of a liability, and the services really don't want human-liabilities piloting hundred-million-dollar supersonic death-machines.

Fun-fact: the Nazis used meth, then known as "Pervatin" - but then they also mixed it with cocaine and oxycodone and called it "D-IX" - sounds like quite the party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-IX

If you do not own the place where you live, your rent-to-income ratio will likely go up when retiring and you will have to move somewhere cheaper. That is not outright homelessness, though. Many people, including people in developed welfare states such as Germany, cannot sustain their previous lifestyle when they retire.

I'm heavily using cache on self hosted runners that are running in ec2 machines on aws. It's my experience that the cache isn't "super slow".

Because of a bug (in my action) I was pushing/pulling gigabytes of data into the cache. On large files I was seeing ~125MB/s (that's Byte) download speeds.

I haven't used the GitHub hosted runners much so I'm not sure how it compares though.
You literally have to 3D map roads. Then upload that data. Allow cars to download that data, and upload updates (road closures/constructions, new potholes etc), telemetry etc.

Control will not happen over 5G, but the volumes of data being passed around certainly will likely require a good amount of bandwidth.

Do you see this happen over LTE?

Idk. maybe its not cars, but simply a much better surveillance system somehow.
No doubt! Absolutely true! We were ultimately acquired by an American company, and American immigration rules caused problems for the Canadians. My point isn't that Canada is distinctively bad; it's that this story has nothing the hell to do with Chelsea Manning.

3.5 I was excited to see action composition until I realized that the composed action will still be showed as one step and that it can just compose actions instead of whole workflows.

I want to share whole jobs across my repos, including matrixes and all. I could wrap some common workflows into one action, but then the whole complexity will be hidden in a single step.

So I resorted to creating GHA Templates and manually synching them with a CLI tool[1], which isn't great, but at least I don't have to copy-paste changes across repos and I can keep a "main version" of the workflow

There are certain risks you simply cannot pay out-of-pocket: Car accidents (my car is insured to 20M in damages p.p.), house destruction (you usually already have one mortgage), or inability to work in your profession (e.g., by becoming blind). The former cases are so expensive you cannot expect to save money or take a loan and pay off the damages. The latter case impacts your ability to earn money in the first place.

An insurance company makes money because they don't expect many of these cases to happen at once. But that's not a position you should take.
Honestly I can't fathom the same company that made vs code which is really snappy for an electron app made Teams. It's almost like the best electron app vs the worst electron app.

I once worked with a cardiovascular surgeon who was possibly one of the most brilliant people I'd ever met. His wife was a neurosurgeon, and she was diagnosed with some rare form of brain tumour, and they both knew the prognosis. They ended up selling their little farm and all their cars and equipment, and bought a little float plane to travel the world with for her final years. I believe he passed away shortly after she did, but they got to spend the last of their time together with a very relaxing lifestyle.
