Yeah, it's a great idea. But the problem is the specifics. For example, the electricity storage you describe, do you have any idea of its cost or feasibility? For example, all the battery capacity in the world right now is about 1000 GwH, and optimistic estimates project a 5x growth by 2030 [1]. Even if we take the 2030 figure, 5500 GwH, that number would be enough to power... Less than 500 thousand American people, if my math is correct? [2] Meanwhile, nuclear is currently responsible for 20% of electricity generation in the US, and could be even more, there's no fundamental obstacle in the way except money.

The West? When I was a kid in northern Vermont ('60s-'70s) we would have snow on the ground from mid-October until May or June. One year we had some snow in our front yard under a big pine tree on the 4th of July. We had snowbanks on the road to our house that were so high that I could almost touch the transformers on the electrical poles. We got snowed in for a week and had to use our 23.5hp SkiDoo to get to the store for milk and eggs. Don't talk about "gee, it's finally obvious"; I've known it for decades.

Would you describe getting response from the model within few milliseconds cpu or memory intensive? What I assumed as to the characteristics of inference is a process that takes multiple seconds to minutes.

In a system that requires a response to the customer within a few milliseconds through web api, how do you ensure the performance in Python? I'm genuinely interested as that sounds outside of what stock CPython can do except trivial logic.

Another aspect that's completely ignored are the requirement - you might need the response time in milliseconds, couple of times per day. Others might need to serve hundreds of requests. You also need to consider the budget available.

Yikes; the author is simply wrong about TeX in the quote about squaring the width difference (there is some cubing going on, but of space stretch and shrink ratios of the natural space width specified per-font). He also seems to imply that TeX doesn't take care to try to avoid two hyphenated lines in a row, which is also not true ("doublehyphendemerits"). And, finally, he implies that TeX doesn't prune its search tree while looking for a global optimal set of line breaks, when of course it does. So, it's not clear what exactly his algorithmic improvement is supposed to be?

This was driven by the cost of petrol rather than convenience.

An automatic transmission is a non-trivial amount of weight--especially on the small cars present in the EU--and affects gas mileage tremendously.

Driving a manual in heavy stop and go traffic, however, sucks rocks whether you are in LA or Palermo. You are continuously playing the "rolling game" in order to minimize stress on your clutch to avoid burning it up.

I presume these same forces will be the ones that cause the EU to switch to electric cars first.

I've been using Sway, very happy - just prepare to do a fair bit of fiddling :)

A quick tip, imitate this however you see fit -- setting `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP`:

$ cat ~/.config/environment.d/envvars.conf
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="${XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP:-sway}"

... so that `xdg-desktop-portal-wlr` can share your screen by knowing the environment you're in

For whatever reason this isn't set by Sway. This will only set it if another DE hasn't already
It’s so blisteringly effective to grab a portion of the screen, draw on it, copy the whole thing again and paste it to a coworker in chat or a task tool.

You can make it even faster by cutting out the Preview step. When the thumbnail of the screenshot appears in the lower-right corner of the screen, click it, and then you can use Markup to annotate the image right there, and then share it as needed.

Since I don't have your Logitech, I don't know if this method will support your hand-writing step. But it's worth a try, and is still useful for drawing circles and arrows and things on screenshots before firing them off to a coworker.

> I've seen a lot of bad C++ in my life, and have seen Java people write C++ like they would Java.

Ah, don't remind me Java people write C++ like they write Java, I've seen my fair share, thank you.

> Writing good C++ is hard.

I concur, however writing good Java is also hard. e.g. Swing has a fixed and correct initialization/build sequence, and Java self-corrects if you diverge, but you get a noticeable performance hit. Most developers miss the signs and don't fix these innocent looking mistakes.

I've learnt C++ first and Java later. I also tend to hit myself pretty hard during testing (incl. Valgrind memory sanity and Cachegrind hotpath checks), so I don't claim I write impeccable C++. Instead I assume I'm worse than average and try to find what's wrong vigorously and fix them ruthlessly.
Show HN: Export React Code from Figma
"fair" means that we comparing apples to apples. Ad-hoc, unindexed predicate, compiled by QuestDB into AVX2 assembly (using AsmJIT) vs same predicate complied by Clickhouse (I'm assuming by LLVM). One can perhaps view this as comparing SIMD-based scans from both databases. Perhaps we generate better assembly, which incidentally offers better IO.

We all understand that creating very specific index might improve specific query performance. Great, Clickhouse geared the entire table storage model to be ultra specific for latitude search. What if you search by longitude, or other column? Back to the beginning.

JIT-compiled predicates offer arbitrary query optimisation with zero impact on ingestion. This is sometimes useful.

What would you offer assuming that we reached out, other than creating an index?

Clickhouse does better than we do in other areas. It JITs more complicated expressions, such as some date functions. It optimises count() queries specifically. For example we collect "found" rowed_ids in an array. Clickhouse does not specifically for count(). We still have work to do. On other hand we ingested this very dataset about 5x quicker than clickhouse, which we left out because article is not about "QuestDB is faster than Clickhouse"
"Most companies used Triplebyte not as an interview replacement, but as an additional screening process, which means that as a candidate, you don't have any real incentive to use them."

jwz has a comment that addresses this:

Look, in the case of all other software, I believe strongly in "release early, release often". Hell, I damned near invented it. But I think history has proven that UI is different than software. The Firefox crew believe otherwise. Good for them, and we'll see.

Software performance improvements tend to come from hardware (Moore's Law, still-ish), and software algorithm (in the old-school sense of how information is actually processed) improvements. Leaning on the UI for massive performance enhancement is a bit like expecting order-of-magnitude income improvements by increasing your working hours. There's only so much time in a day, and there is only a limited rate at which humans can interact with digitised information --- generally text, images, video, audio, and data.

And yet, it incorporated very nearly all the basic human-computer interface principles still used today.

Apple's Macintosh has seen two principle variants of its desktop UI in the 38 years of its existence. And the second, OSX / Aqua, is now older than Mac Classic was when OSX was introduced by eight years. Apple are highly conservative in UI changes.

I'm not principally an Apple user, or fan. But for my desktop, I use an environment inspired by the Mac's predecessor, NeXT, namely Windowmaker. There's been very little development in years, but the product is stable, and still works even on retina-class displays. The fact that I don't have to go hunting down new interactions every few months or years is a tremendous advantage. And if you want, twm is still a serviceable window manager.

My own tools collection strongly resembles Cipriani's. Applications and tools learned decades ago still provide me regular use. I can do what I intended when I want without being buffetted by constant winds of change and shifting fashions. And quite frankly, it's awesome and a bit of a superpower.
Each cloud comes with unique service / API complexity and despite being managed services that experience does not translate 1:1 across clouds. For example AWS IAM policies cannot be reused, and there may be differences in availability, durability, feature set et al. A good reason to choose AWS may be to minimize deltas between stacks, and often it is a fair assumption that their service offerings have been used by a significant amount of enterprises.

Here is a key sequence I use very often. It takes a screenshot of a chosen window without the window's shadow.

- First, type command + shift + 4 (the mouse pointer turns into crosshair).

- Then type the space bar (the crosshair turns into a camera icon).

- Hover the mouse pointer (a camera icon now), to highlight the chosen window.

- Finally, hold the option key and click.

This sounds like a lot of steps but it becomes muscle memory pretty quickly.

> Satoshi proved that a blockchain is only secure if it's the blockchain with the longest accumulated proof-of-work record.

This statement is correct, but you appear to be fundamentally misunderstanding it. The category being considered is that of blockchains making incompatible claims about the same truth.

Events on the dogecoin blockchain are making no claims about the bitcoin blockchain and vice versa, so this statement is irrelevant. Similarly it is irrelevant between any two distinct tokens even if they originate as forks of another token. You could download the BTC blockchain, take it to a distant planet and transact with it using only local compute just fine. It's just that -- were you to re-establish contact with earth -- omicron-persei-eight-BTC and earth-BTC would now be different tokens. So long as some subset of the population agreed to use the former it would be a valid token and earthlings could transact on your blockchain with their wallets (at the balance they had when you left), it just wouldn't be earth-BTC
Yet... it's still the only way I can use mixed DPI displays. I'm sure all of these concerns are justified in one way or the other, but no one's really given me a lot of other options. A quick environmental scan reveals two serious contenders: Xorg and Wayland. Open source precludes the idea of a grand conspiracy, so I'm not sure why no one's working on an alternative if it's as bad as you say.

It's a bit like complaining about factory conditions in China. I'd sure like to buy a computer from somewhere else, but I'm sort of left without a bunch of options so I shrug my shoulders and hold my nose and hope the market sorts it out. Ironically, this is one of the issues that puts me off upgrading to another HiDPI display, thus necessitating my need for Wayland...

I think you might be saying something quite different than I was complaining about. Saying trans people are trans because they had a hormone imbalance (presumably not enough hormones for the sex they were assigned at birth) isn't the same at all as saying trans people are trans because they didn't have enough hormones to develop as is typical for the gender they identify as. I'm not sure that conflating those two and saying both imply a hormone imbalance is useful, but if you want sure. The original comment was pretty clearly implying the former though right? It would be really weird if plastic was causing more xy people to develop with low estrogen levels than would have otherwise

>But he was harmed: he was allegedly fired for reporting religious discrimination.

He was allegedly harmed. If, as the person you are replying to speculates, he was freaking out and being a bad employee after discovering the affiliation of his coworkers, then potentially that's a righteous firing and he wasn't harmed in a legal sense. If as he alleges, he was fired for having valid concerns, then yes, harm in a legal sense.

Only to the extent in which I've defined "harm" (in quotations), which was to say that I don't like to invest free time into books that I probably won't finish.

In any case, while I do care about readability, it does look like I've stepped a bit too far over the line. Believe me, I have no desire in forming any sort of literary criticism against a book that many famous writers have said is great, especially having not read it.
