I see we're not discussing the same thing. I was talking about the cost of solar and storage, Germany uses more wind and a lot of biomass and hydro.

But I'm happy to discuss this too. That 50% figure is a peak (achieved when conditions were favorable) and ignores imported electricity.

According to [1], renewables accounted for 41% of power production in Germany in 2021, but only 16.1% of primary energy consumption.

AIUI, that difference comes from (a) imports and (b) the fact that primary energy consumption also includes heating and transport, two sectors that often aren't directly powered by electricity yet, but which must be before an economy can stop consuming non-renewable energy.

I like GCaptain. It’s shipping news in a nice format. Started reading it during the Suez blockage.

Almost makes me wish I worked in that industry. Logistics, especially when ship borne, is rather interesting.
I think having some insulation is better than having none. But yeah, if you want to do it properly, it would cost a lot more.

As for heating your neighbours, a lot of cities have city heating and is paid depending on how many people live in the apartment, so you don't care that much about it. Of course, some folks have gas boilers in their apartment (like me) but it won't make sense financially to insulate the inner walls.

I think it's the same for new buildings here too, if not worse. A lot of regulations aren't actually respected and because a lot of builders left for WE, there's a huge problem with finding skilled workers.
I’ve known C for close to two decades, thank you. I’m using the not at all well defined term “magic comment” to loosely refer to everything that’s not strictly speaking code but has special meaning, which include pre-processor directives.

cpp is definitely a well-hated part of C.
Your response is absurd. You think China would only focus on a few cities? They likely have multiple efforts going in every major city all at the same time. They have more than enough money and motivation to do that. To dismiss Houston just because it’s not Silicon Valley is absurd. Any strategic advantage is still an advantage. They have the luxury of not having to worry about profits and losses like a corporation.
Dogmatism is incompatible with civilisation.

> The west as a whole owes its way of life in some shape or form to religion

You haven't gone far back enough in history to make that claim. Civilisation was destroyed by Christianity, and for a 1000 years, nothing happened, no progress except for a few individuals who dared question religion.

> A government of the people must reflect the beliefs of the people.

I have heard this my whole life. I have been struggling to understand this folly my whole life, because to me eyes, it is fundamentally a misunderstanding of correlation and causation. Generally ethical peoples focused on bettering themselves produced the democracies that led to this mad sentence. Now decades/century later people look at it at face value and fail to choose to better themselves, they only see their ego and call themselves the best, they say that's all there will ever be. It's false, it's a lie, and unchecked will lead to another dark age.

We must choose, I choose to look at myself and see the good without forgetting the bad, I choose to improve upon myself, be inspired by others, sieve cultures, emulate the good, and learn for the terrible so as to never repeat it.

Would I to fail to do this, I fear I will never understand existence, and would be a crime against the universe. Claiming to know what it is, is a lie, nobody knows. What we must do is figure it out. No religion will ever achieve that.

“As a service” has a subscription or on demand expiry concept embedded to it - it was meant in that sense.

The US was also fine with Iraq doing it.

When Iraq gassed a Kurdish village in 1988, the US actually blocked condemnation of Iraq in the UN Security Council and tried to redirect blame towards Iran.

The US only started making a big deal of Iraq's attacks on the Kurds years later, when Iraq had gone from being an ally to an enemy.
I think new nuclear is a distraction from the best solution. Closing the fuel cycle is a good idea of course but we don't know how to do that yet. Current reprocessing doesn't remove the waste it just reduces it.

Reprocessing that can entirely get rid of the waste needs a scientific breakthrough that certainly might happen, but trying to make it happen will require research centers with highly qualified staff, very expensive machinery and will take a long time to set up.

Meanwhile just about anyone can put solar panels on their roof making it possible for the state to save fuels in central power plants for use during the night. This benefit is immediate, and because anyone can do it it's currently being deployed faster than even non-reprocessing nuclear power plants can be built.

So instead of aiming for new classes of reactors I think we should build already known classes of solar panel factories and hydrogen electrolysers. Hydrogen electrolysers are insanely simple, you can build one using stuff you are likely to have in your home already.

The main argument against it at grid-scale is the efficiency, but with enough solar panels efficiency becomes basically meaningless. When you are filling your "water bottle" from the Niagara you can spill a lot and it won't matter.
Granted, yet people argue that this system isn't sentient they are largely pointing out ways in which its intelligence is lacking. It can't do simple math, for instance. Nevermind that most animals can't either, yet we consider them sentient.
I always forget the factor but I remember disk operations generally being 100,000 times faster than network calls.

ZFS does, although to fully exploit it you'll need to make DMU calls.
Lambda specifically retrains itself based on the input it receives in a conversation.

Also, I suspect downvoters did so because your comment was not clearly worded. In your first sentence it was not obvious that you were comparing humans with AI and in your second sentence I still don't really understand what you meant.
You're still seeing a large swing in insolation between summer and winter in SW Europe. You can tilt the PV arrays to increase winter production at the expense of summer (and at expense of overall production); did you do that?
At a broader level I think the solution is simple. Any person must be able to decide who he/she personally wants to listen to. in forums this can be implemented by a feature that allows you to hide certain people's comments based on your own judgement. At HN and most other forums the moderator or others decide if a person's comments are to be visible to others.

I really have a hard time understanding what the drama is about.

ProDentim UK - There are many benefits of ProDentim candy, and one of the common reasons why our teeth and gums have problems in the first place is because we used chemical-filled toothpaste, oral products, and mouthwash.
What I found cool about the synthetic natural gas, is that Europe already has really good seasonal storage of natural gas. Hence the infrastructure is available for summer-time generation of gas using solar abundance that we use in winter for heating.

To my mind, it is seasonal load shifting that is Europe's long term energy problem. Winter energy demand has a bottom that needs to be met. We used to ensure this by stockpiling on seasonal scales. Without stockpiling, and with intermittent production, things will get hairy in winter.

Put differently, you can turn up a gas plant, but you can't turn up a windmill or a solar panel. That scares me.

Batteries and similar technologies are great for daily variation, but their cost per capacity does not allow for practical seasonal storage. For this I imagine we need cheap bulk storage, and can accept low efficiency because we can fill the stockpile with the cheapest excess power.

This has to be a difficult way to operate on a daily basis. Even if your charge were true (it's not) why are you so quick to draw this card?
I think online and technical communities veer towards being introverted. A lot of people I know in finance or sales would have gone nuts with the amount of WFH tech people are still doing.
Ahh the procrastination when writing a PhD.

Instead of actually writing it, you research a million different ways how to render it, and then you write a blog post on it :)
Wouldn't the include still need some templating functionality? Or are people using vue that heavily for just importing static html?
yeah, right, unless you're american, why should you care about .com domains?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the problem is not .it domains, it's clearly stated in the linked post

A large number of spam pages are indexed when searching by our product name.
It’s very similar to Japanese Keyword hack, but the difference is that our site is not hacked

so it's definitely an indexing issue, those .it domains are being indexed for the Japanese word hack for some reason, it's not that .it domains are particularly spammy per se.

Your "solution" would filter the vast minority of the abusers at the cost of banning an entire TLD, not much different than turning off the internet connection entirely.

Most of the spam on the internet comes from .com domains though, even more so because registering a .com domain is much easier than getting an .it

Are you willing to ban .com too?
If error correction can be made to work they would revolutionize human life by allowing the microscopic world to be predictable. The recent result about error correction in surface codes from the Google group is encouraging, but still several OOMs away from anything meaningful.
Working in general sucks most of the time. Being on-call should be just compensated, and the schedule should be adequate.
I think it has become better over the years but as long as I can remember KDE has always had the "Designed but programmers that don't care about design" feel to it.

I don't think thats how child support works in most states. Income shares model basically looks at the cost of raising a child in a particular jurisdiction then pro-rates that based on the parents income. For instance if the cost of child per month is 1k and the man earns 50k and the woman earns 100k (assuming woman has custody), the man would pay $333 a month (50 / 150 * 1k)

HTML imports were part of the original concept of Web Components, and I think they were supported in Chrome. If you look up examples of things built with Polymer 1.x, it was used extensively.

It was actually pretty neat, because you could have an HTML file with a template, style, and script section.

Safari rejected the proposal, so it had to get dropped.

But ESM makes it a bit redundant anyway. The end-goal is to allow you to import any kind of asset, not just JS. There have been demos and examples of tools supporting this going back over half a decade at this point.

The site is definitely filled with left leaning individuals. I think the only reason why HN is not more blatantly left leaning (like Twitter, reddit) is because the average HN poster works in tech and likely makes a lot of cash. I know I definitely got a lot less radical in my liberal beliefs once I jumped up a couple tax brackets after college.

Other sites like reddit are filled with left leaning individuals from all walks of life. It's easier for a barista living barely above the poverty line to have more far left beliefs out of pure resentment for the structures that allowed them to go $150k into debt after majoring in something like Eastern Gender Studies.
I had something related in Montreal. Bewildered until I realised the paper tourist map was rotated clockwise by around 60°. North was definitely not where it should have been.

Ronda in Spain is the only place I've felt agoraphobic. There are mountains on the horizon and it felt like they were an unsettlingly long way away.
> We need livestock if we want to live in balance with nature without irreversibly changing the structure of the Earth's biosphere.

We need animals, including ruminants. There’s no requirement that we breed them on a massive scale and eat them.
That doesn't make any sense, because it being a "no-holds barred cage match" makes it more likely for one party to lose. Going in with a co-operative mindset (at least until the other party demonstrates they are not) should be win-win.
"Nuclear would have won if it weren't for you meddling kids!"
Unfortunately, this does not matter when generation sizes differ. The older generations are by far larger.

There are good resources on how this has shaped society. Example are less support for education support and better policies for investments.

Ie. Large generations decide how the world looks for small generations.

for both Rust and C, these features "just" make something you could otherwise do with the build system and generated code easier, I think.

Is this really true now? If so, it's sad how far windows has fallen. It was very easy, almost pleasant to use Windows with no mouse, from 3.0 all the way through XP (which was the range of my regular windows use)

I agree, it's all cultural. If we'd look at the facts, pigs are at least as sentient and intelligent as dogs. If we were to make our laws just from ethic principles, it would make sense to either:

a) ban how we currently treat mammals in factory farms; though there would still be some space for whether eating mammals is fine or not.

Or:

b) acknowledge that we don't really care about mammals and just treat them as things. Then it should be fine to eat dogs and cats, too.
I'm exactly the same. I even force myself every few months to give KDE an honest shot, but i'm so comfortable with gnome+gtk with dashtopanel+popshell anything else is jarring and borderline uncomfortable. I always come back.
Nah. I've been reading the docs on Spatialite (the spatial extension for SQLite) at http://www.gaia-gis.it/ the last couple days. It has both a "spam" TLD and a design from 1998.

A) the stories around Zeus have not stayed constant over the century. No religion has.

B) Valhalla was a dimension he travelled to regularly to celebrate the finest warriors in the after life. Why do we think his Olympian throne was on the same dimensional plane as us?

C) Why would we trust a human recording from so long ago to actually capture the happenings of celestial beings?

D) Ragnorak ended with massive floods. How do we know that didn’t erase all evidence on Mt Olympus? Geological records certainly support evidence for massive flooding explaining the reason it shows up repeatedly across religious texts.

Like seriously? You’re seriously arguing that this particular god’s historical existence is falsifiable? What’s next? The tooth fairy is falsifiable because all known instances are parent’s hiding money under your pillow?
So my actual knowledge of quantum computing is mostly limited to what I remember from seminars in (physics) grad school, and from listening to my classmates who were actually doing quantum computing research complain about why things weren't working... but this side comment [0] is totally on the money with what I remember. I don't believe we will ever be able to run quantum simulations of interestingly-sized things, though that is certainly an opinion rather than a statement of fact and has a good chance of being inaccurate.

However, any way you look at it, "[quantum] simulating the human body" is complete batshit science wingnut nonsense (though I tried to be diplomatic about it above). There isn't even any way to measure the input state there! It's ill-defined, it's subject to measurement uncertainty, it's just plain chaotic. As an actual former scientist, it would help my blood pressure if science wingnuts who do not understand the first thing about what they're talking about could please stay quiet.

I think the Overton window of your bubble must be very far right if you consider the commentary on Hacker News to be left-leaning.
New housing lowers property demand.

Plus, people usually oppose nuclear which is an expensive but stable renewable option.
I hear you. The ignorance around ADHD is appalling. My medication (Elvanse) works wonders - being able to focus like normal people has entirely changed my life.

I remember the first time I took one of those pills, I was astounded my how clear my mind became. It was like the noise switched off, and I could just get on with what I needed to.

Like you, I was diagnosed as an adult. I have considerable regret for all those years prior wasted without diagnosis and medication. I'm trying to undo all the maladaptive behaviours I've developed likely because of this, and shed myself of the many, many guilts I feel. But it's a long hard slog.

I wish my parents were still alive so I could talk to them about it all, and show them the person I've become since.

When I see confident expressions of ignorance about ADHD, or even worse, scammers and liars trying to take advantage of people with ADHD, it also makes me see red. You're not alone in this. I think you were right to speak out here, whatever anyone else says.
> Personally, I'm all for open source, but to me this seems inevitable when you expect people to solve your requests and issues with (quite possibly) no compensation.

Let's remember that half the point of open source/free software is that you have the freedom to fix things yourself. Remember that the reason that Stallman started his free software work was that he couldn't fix a printer because he was dependent on a company that wouldn't give him the source code.

I don't understand how we came to this idea that open source/free software means that people are dependent on each other to fix each other's bugs when the point of it was to get rid of that dependency.
Reminds me of the "received knowledge" at school that gangsters tape two Stanley knives together as two parallel cuts can't be stitched.

Never heard of it outside of kids talking about things to sound like they were tough and didn't actually have a nice house and teddy bears.
A few people commenting on the post say they to had a similar bans when clipping through the world and a grey screen was shown. Maybe the solid gray is triggering the AI to pick any policy violation that had gray in it once...
I feel the exact opposite. After I dropped macOS (I hate the direction they're going into) KDE was a breath of fresh air. It finally gives me configuration options back and the Breeze theme is already there most of the way. Not overly wasteful in terms of space like macOS and not even close to being as restrictive as that. KDE is amazing <3

In contrast I really hate what gnome is doing. Opinionated software is not something I want on my desktop. The huge (touch first?) window title bars, hamburger menus, limited configuration options etc, they're all wrong for me. I'll never use it.

But this is the great thing about FOSS. There's something for everyone.
Something fishy is going on here. I remember Hillary Clinton did the same with her email server using Bleach Bit. Both sides destroy data.

Agreed. I got an i5 Thinkpad x230 from eBay for similar price (~$120) and arguably it's much better in every aspect (probably not in thinness and weight)
I think those don't actually have any PV in them. I.e. concentrated solar to thermal then turbines for electricity.
And this is one of the many reasons I use ZFS personally.
Surely they should be at least as equally subsidized as other energy sources, with the cost of external cleanup perhaps also factored in?
I can relate quite well to the author's pursuit in tinkering with their typesetting workflow. When I wrote my bachelor's thesis, I also spent a great deal of time coming up with a custom LaTeX template and workflow. Like the author, one of the pain-points was the relatively slow edit-compile-review cycle of modern LaTeX engines like LuaLaTex.

In my case, I was mainly concerned with making the resulting thesis.pdf PDF/A compliant. PDF/A is a archival compliance standard that's dedicated to the long term digital preservation of PDF files.

Predictably, I got way too carried away as well, and ended up trying to create fully-reproducible LaTeX PDFs as well. It was probably overkill for my use-case, but it did result in a fun blog post where I documented the process [1]

Short term thinking is what gets us into these problems in the first place.
OP here: thanks for the feedback, added padding and correct scale. Should look better now!
Yeah, I have a hard time justifying hyper-customization. I understand that folks want to work efficiently, but as a dev, I need to stop and think about what I’m doing. I also have a tendency to rabbit-hole (actual feedback from my peers and manager), and if I leave myself unchecked I’ll probably spend more time “optimizing my workflow” than doing actually useful stuff.

These days, the only real changes I tend to make are installing oh-my-zsh (thereby outsourcing the low-level tweaks to someone else) and Sublime with a handful of plugins (does that count?).
It’s easy to imagine a world. Just look at Britain, New Zealand and others who already have unarmed officers deal with most things.
I'm actually not sure psychology has come a long way in the last decades. There's a ton of research, but almost all of it is simply wrong. Treatment hasn't progressed. The only new, somewhat successful therapy I know of is EMDR, and that's been overblown quite a bit. The rest was already around in the 1990s, and CBT is even older.
In my opinion, the definition of a game engine is the part of the code in a game that is not the content.
