> The idea is to not only adjust supply to the demand, but to shape the demand to the supply.

This is completely backwards. Demand is highly price inelastic and inversely correlated with the supply of renewables. People usually eat at night. They heat their homes overnight. None of these things will change based on energy prices.

What you're proposing is a tax on the poor, and no practical benefit to boot.

> The charger for your electric car is another very practical sink for cheap electricity.

I don't have an electric car. I do not know anybody with an electric car. And wouldn't the surplus show up specifically when those cars aren't at the home?

> A battery consisting of a pile of rocks can't be expensive.

No, but the labor cost of hooking up your pile of rocks battery will be impractical for almost everyone.

> The next level is using residential HVAC systems the same way.

Again, I don't know anybody with an HVAC system. Everything here in the UK is based on natural gas and would cost an unbelievable amount of money to replace with electric.

I recall reading somewhere that in typesetting the goal is to have 10-12 words / line because that is how much of a line the eye reads without side-to-side scanning.

Personally I find that with long lines I often waver to a different line as I scan from left to right. Thus I need to re-read the line which otherwise I would have read in a single pass.

Just giving clear non-satirical and honest feedback. The basic facts/history are incorrect. Not to mention the not-so implicit disrespect to the contributors (Sun, lolz! C modules oh-no omgz).

If I was watching this in a 30-second tiktok maybe I would have thought it was funny, or maybe the audience for the talk was expecting such low-grade content? Can't say I wasn't there.
Yeah, it would be nice if it was easier to test... so that people could assess whether or not they like it. Instead, we get this hostile experience where we're forced to make it the default search engine before we know if we want to use it.

It's also concerning that they're throwing around "privacy" like a buzzword... but aren't sharing how they plan to monetize the platform in the future. That plus the dark patterns will make it a no-go for me.

It doesn't take six months to order a new server. You can often have it tomorrow (for some extra fee) or in a week or so. Done this many times since the first ~20 or so years of my career were running our own datacenters.

You're right, hypergrowth (a subset of unpredictable capacity needs) is a perfect use case for AWS or similar.

The vast majority of companies, for the majority of their corporate life, aren't in these categories (spiky, unpredictably) phase though, so for those, AWS is a large cost premium.
Yikes, that's an awful bug. I make heavy use of pointer-events none. And I've _already_ had to have a special case for Safari, because it didn't seem to support setting `pointer-events: all` on SVG tspan elements. Now I have to double check to see if/what is broken in Safari 15 :(
Even less cynically, Unity is buying specific competence that they don’t already have. There are a ton of jobs at Weta that will be eliminated just by virtue of not needing the duplication across companies.

They won’t need all of the “normal” jobs that employ non-engineers (accounting, payroll, finance, legal). Marketing and sales will likely be cut in some form, a bunch of local contractors they use will likely be let go since the acquiring company will already have different relationships for those services.

It’s disruptive for the stakeholders when for example Google buys a Bay Area company.. it’s much more disruptive when an overseas company buys a (or the) big employer in a region.
The tweet doesn’t have material information about the company. Also, holding a poll about selling shares would probably be upheld as protected speech under the first amendment.
LFP is also actually the perfect battery for urban transportation in tropical countries. Their low cost and economics would ensure a big transformation in coming years because few people understand the tremendous impact they have on lifecycle cost (due to high no of cycles).

I personally feel that in 10 years in India it will be cheaper to rent an electric car running on LFP for trips < 300 km along with a driver (cheaper here) than buy your own car.
> Something in my brain seems to generate lots of complications to the tasks I am doing, and I lose enthusiasm and self-confidence.

Uff, I feel this so deeply!

I'm still struggling with this but I'm currently in working on a project that is the closest to done that I've ever been!

Recently I took at the book "Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done" (not affiliated, I just really liked it) and I certainly identify with a lot of what the author mentions, in summary, perfectionist masking as fear, as adding a bunch of extra steps to avoid finishing, and just plain the brain not wanting to use energy in difficult tasks and making anything else looks better than actually doing something to finish. I recommend it!

A few things that have worked for me:

- change of environment. I've super productive working from a local coffee shop

- prepare the space/materials for working. I'd open my editor, start the development servers and hibernate the computer before going to sleep so when I wake up everything is ready to start working

- separate "planning" from "doing". For me it feels like I need to use different brains, one to plan what to work on and another to just do stuff from a todo list. Separating the two has helped me a lot! When I used to plan and work at the same time, while working on a project I'd add A LOT of tiny unnecessary complications, go down useless rabbit-holes and waste time. Separating the two allows me to just open a todo list, get some focus music and just complete stuff.

Good luck!
> It's like living with IE6 again

There is a CSS bug.

CSS bugs are dirt common. It's a miracle that there are as few CSS bugs as there are. However, I remember IE6. IE6 was a total fucking mess. Everything was broken on IE6. It wasn't just a bug, it was a complete support nightmare.

I routinely encounter problems with CSS that reveal maddening differences between Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. That's just for desktop. But it's still way better than dealing with IE6.
Honestly, I won't install your extension because I don't know who you are. Having it as an option would be great. People here have seen _many_ stories about extensions being silently updated with malware.

I really hope you reconsider. So far I've got great results for the queries I ran in Incognito mode, but I will not install an extension just so I can change my search engine.
>Sadly, it's the only way to become your default as a new search engine :)

Well that's just not true at all. We're expected to trust this search engine with our privacy while you're telling a crowd of people a blatant lie that almost feels like gaslighting? A crowd of people who you know knows enough to spot that lie a mile away, no less?

Yeah, no. I'm out on You (no pun intended, but it definitely fits). Hard pass.
> Hell, History degrees at Oxford now have the option of learning how to use databases to store and query information with SQL.

We should for real start teaching basics of query languages in high school. Just enough to demystify the subject for when "tech-averse" folks pragmatically need it for their profession

I've suffered emotionally observing people from non-tech areas toiling with what, to us, are rocks and sticks. Folks that would undoubtedly benefit majorly from learning a tool do not do it because they just have never had any exposure to the principles behind them

We can't fix people's interest in tech being low - we can introduce them to simple helpful concepts early on so they are more accepting of proper tools for complex jobs

Did this sound too exclusivist or tech-centric arrogant? I didn't mean to. I'm really interested in why some things like version control aren't used across all industries and I suspect it has to do with fear of command lines and inspection tools
Correct me if I’m wrong, I was under the impression that Section 230 means most lawsuits are summarily dismissed. Without it you have the first amendment which as you say means you probably eventually win but it’s a much bigger hassle.
I don't agree with that take. Without government backing, the alternative is that banks would not lend. Just like they don't currently lend to the poor and that market is instead filled by predatory loan sharks and payday lenders.

In other words, the purpose is not to help the banks, but to help people get the loans in the first place.

However, the unintended consequences are that the banks are incentivized to make way to many loans. Obviously, there need to be better limits placed on lending for education.
Not to flog a dead horse here, but your argument is that without the extension people will try it a couple of times and then forget about you.com, and go back to default.

But your target demographic is here telling you that with the extension requirement, they will try it zero times, because they don't want to change their default to a service they haven't tried yet.

A better idea would be to unblock search, show results to everyone regardless of browser defaults, and push hard for the extension install on the search results page once people can see the value prop you're offering.
Yeah, lots of things sound like perfectly great ideas until you actually run the numbers and find out they're hopelessly inadequate.

And electric cars actually tend to get charged at night, while people sleep, when solar isn't generating.
True but you're looking at the US. Here in Spain a ton of people use Xiaomi phones between 100 and 200 euro.

It always surprises me how much of those I see in the metro. I don't see many flagships at all here, many people on the street also use wired headphones.

In the Netherlands it's a totally different picture. Lots of iPhones, S-class Samsung, airpods...

It really depends on the country and their average wages.
Meanwhile, I’m hoping that global competition increases tech pay for non-US companies and I can land a remote gig that has some actual benefits like paternal leave.
There aren't many good alternatives to ZFS if you specifically want snapshots and compression.

LVM? Managing it sucks and the performance is bad (there's plenty of information on this).

I think Red Hat's Stratis was supposed to improve on some of this but it's not mainlined yet. For a while it sounded like Red Hat were going down the device-mapper functionality route of Stratis, VDO, dm-integrity and XFS, but I don't know where this is at.

Btrfs is probably the closest bet, but it's software RAID 5/6 has the known write hole bug.

Still waiting for bcachefs to get mainlined.

ext4 doesn't do CoW. XFS kinda does with its reflink functionality but it doesn't do filesystem-level snapshots.

I'm trying to figure out which browser is the biggest cancer for the WWW.

On the one hand, you have Safari whom has a parent company that isn't interested in making it have useful feature parity with the others because it'll then allow escape from their gravy train app store (fully working PWA's, non-compete with rendering engines in iOS). Their lack of keeping up is starting to look a bit like IE6 days.

And on the other, you have Chrome whom has a parent company that claims it wants to improve privacy (FLoC), but to me it is more of a "pulling the ladder up on everyone else" because they have so many other methods to track you (DNS, GA, Android, etc.) that limiting everyone would be disingenuous. Pushing AMP is another example of bullying behavior.
Most CSS bugs just make things a bit uglier, rather than completely breaking your entire site.
I wrote pam_ldap and did the initial port to Darwin. It is probably showing its age - you probably want better integration with GSS-API and also something like CredUI [1] for GUI support. But it's a great deal better than having to modify /bin/login each time you add an authentication mechanism! And although each implementation has its quirks, its age and thus relative simplicity means that it was quite widely implemented.

I’ve learned a lot that’s helped me cope with, or resolve or work towards resolution of things that have caused me incredible pain. Almost none of it I’ve learned from being treated as a pupil while in the depths of that pain. Quite a lot I’ve learned from having a patient ear attached to a caring person who gave me space to process what I was experiencing. Quite a lot more was from time to let the worst subside and process more alone. In the latter, I’ve learned more from others than I ever have from their direct advice.

The problem with teaching people when they’re in a moment of profound weakness is there’s an implied demand: my advice is rational, you aren’t in a rational state of mind, choose one.
How is this not different from asking a phone company for the transcript of a private conversation? Or of asking a bank for account statements? It is the nature of any sufficiently complex economy that private entities will possess extremely intimate knowledge about their customers, knowledge which their customers "voluntarily" provided in the course of business. None of this has any bearing whatsoever on the constraints applied by the 4th amendment, unless we are trying to move toward the interpretation that literally any interaction with the outside world is subject to unlimited surveillance by the state.

> Also, i bet an apple vr headset with apple silicon GPU would kick ass

Oh it will. But it will cost almost 10x the price of a Quest 2. Apple doesn't get into something until they can do it really well and they make the most of the early adopter premium, only bringing prices down after a few generations.
If the only type of scarcity is artificial scarcity does it hold its value the way something that has true scarcity does?
I think the mob has spoken Richard. You can't force people to install the extension, and I think devs are both more likely to work with browser extensions, and less likely to install them.

You've clearly put a lot of great work into the tech. I suggest you sit down with a marketing person to help you figure out how to get people using it. NOT HOW TO GET IT IN FRONT OF PEOPLE. Those are two different things. If the best thing your marketing person can come up with is to have a browser extension, get a better marketing person.

Start small and expand. Perhaps your browser extension is your start small. If so, then it just isn't for me, and that's ok. Maybe you've got a plan of how you grow.

As an example, look at DDG. They started small, and grew, and grew, and grew. They didn't need an extension to do it.

Of course you want everyone to use it, and you want everyone to use it today. But that's not the choice.

I sincerely hope you find your 1,000 true fans, and that those fans can lead you to 1,000,000,000x more.

Show HN: Despite knowing how to program I made a game without programming
So the story goes like this. I wanted to participate in a game jam but did not have a lot of time to learn game development. I know how to program but programming games requires learning specialized knowledge.

Instead of giving up what I did was to use a no-code tool called GDevelop to make my game.

What I noticed was that I was able to quickly iterate and use the tools limitations and my own limitations in understanding how the tool worked to make an original game.

Moral of the story. Maybe it's a good idea to use a no-code tool to make a game instead of always putting it off and making nothing.

Tell me what you think of my small game, feedback is appreciated :)

I also made another game with the same tool : https://nassims.itch.io/exit-the-room

France already has 80-90% of electricity supply being supplied by nuclear. It also exports an enormous amount of power to other European countries.

I don't know exactly how true this is but I believe gas usage for heating is much rarer in France than other countries. They have a lot of electrical storage heating due to the cheap off peak baseload that nuclear gives.

Yeah, I think everyone knows the USA and perhaps a lot of other countries are screwed. The Chinese hold all the cards and there is absolutely nothing the USA can do. The time to address this was 10-15 years ago and not today. Unfortunately we have an administration that is more concerned about progressive issues than the national security and the future of the country. The best the US can do is threaten other countries not to sell equipment or tech to the Chinese.

Visual Studio for Mac =/= VSCode =/= Visual Studio.

Visual Studio for Mac is an IDE for .NET, C#. and F#. VSCode is a text editor with plugins which make it function similar to an IDE, but there are less .NET/C#/F#-specific features and the completion tools are worse.

You can do most things with C# fine on VSCode. But in my experience writing code for Unity, Visual Studio for Mac was much better.

This article is continuing to spread FUD, the judge _explicitly_ said Apple is still entitled to it's 30% commission even payment took place outside the store for a digital good used in the game.
Apple is still entitled to a 30% commission. The commission is the licensing fee for Apple's I

From the court ruling:

> At step three, Epic Games has identified no suitable less restrictive alternative for Apple’s use of IAP based on the current record. The only alternative that Epic Games proposes is that Apple be barred from restricting or deterring in any way “the use of in-app payment processors other than IAP.” This proposed alternative is deficient for several reasons:

> First, and most significant, as discussed in the findings of facts, IAP is the method by which Apple collects its licensing fee from developers for the use of Apple’s intellectual property.

> Even in the absence of IAP, Apple could still charge a commission on developers. It would simply be more difficult for Apple to collect that commission

> Indeed, while the Court finds no basis for the specific rate chosen by Apple (i.e., the 30% rate) based on the record, the Court still concludes that Apple is entitled to some compensation for use of its intellectual property.
