Of course, not. That would be silly. The Volt is an arbitrary unit. After the revolution, we'd be using natural units.

Basically, you'd express things in terms of speed of light, electron charge, planck length etc.

In this case, [Planck energy / electron charge] might be an appropriate unit.

(It would also be a pretty useless unit, because it's absurdly large compared to everyday voltages.)

Honestly this. I never understood the point of mowing a lawn until now. Taking care of my yard (while failing miserable in some places), gets me away from my computer/phone/tv/whatever, and in touch with the outside world, even if its just me and my yard.

* First, I am fully supporting constructive criticism.

* A word "bad" is not constructive criticism, because it's not backed by facts.

* You misunderstood my comment. As I was asking the facts to support Chinese government to be bad, and the comparison to other nations with similar sizes. Of course you cannot compare Chinese government vs. Singapore government, and claim Chinese government is bad.

Ask HN: What are some reasonable right-leaning news sources?
Hey all!

I'm a person that generally identifies with the US democratic party. I subscribe to the New York Times, but I know that like all news sources it is biased and republicans sometimes call it unfair to their party/beliefs.

I'm looking for a reputable right-learning news source to help balance out what I'm exposed to and help me be better informed; something that is like a NYT equivalent for republicans.

Does such a news source exist? Preferably it would be well-known and moderately-right, with a decent app/website so that I can easily read it.
They'd find something else. Trailers, skip bins, cones along with pushing their local representative to put in permit zones etc.

The issue is still they need to give people somewhere to live. Public housing, RV parks, rental legislation etc.
MTTR: Lower Isn’t Always Better (2014)
This is really cool. Glad to see people are wanting and working for better dictionaries. I also had a similar thoughts while trying to create a Pashto dictionary a few years ago. It needs to be offline, fuzzy-search as you type, etc. But sooo many dictionaries out there work in more clumsy ways. I decided to build a PWA one from scratch using React and a LokiJS in-memory database. Later on I added a verb conjugation and phrase generation engine (big thanks to phrase structure analysis and TypeScript!)

You can see a little demo of it here - I'm planning on open sourcing the core soon.

Not that you can buy small gauge aluminum wiring anyway.
I agree with most of this except for galvanized steel. It doesn't last long enough for a flashing application, plus the installation (drive a nail through it) destroys the zinc coating.

Aluminum is most commonly used these days - copper is more rare, and mostly used for looks.

> Aluminum branch circuits are currently strongly discouraged.

Sort of. Aluminum made before 1975 is not safe, but aluminum wire made after that date is a new allow that is perfectly safe in branch circuits, but no one wants to use it.

Maybe you try to get paid for raising your own kids by daycaring other kids at the same time. Is that also an easy buck?

> Not all thinking is intrinsically rewarding, and in fact some people are prone to vicious cycles of negative thinking

Major reason why I avoid thinking. If I’m left to wander, I have dark ideas, remember the bad parts of my life, and have hate for everyone.

What social networks and Youtube help me for, is cover these thoughts and let me spend my time in the present, at the price of not enjoying creativity anymore, or not being able to debrief on my day / month, because any debrieffing would cause think about the past.

Our societies are challenging and nothing happens like we want, and no amount of psychiatrist has helped, because psychiatrists don’t change society.
Yeah I've got beef with Unicode. It doesn't support CJK*. Since I work in games and there are a lot of Japanese games that want to be sold in the Chinese market (and vice versa), this is A Problem. I don't know where they got off thinking those character sets were the same, because if I treat them the same, I don't get paid.

*in my particular example, you can say unicode doesn't support Japanese, /or/ doesn't support Chinese. The answer depends on what font you're using. "Han Unification" affects more than just those two languages, but that's what I have experience with.

Managing complexity is the job of an architect. Possibly the only job. Who is the architect of Google? The CEO. Thus, this is a really bad sign: shop-level complexity he is after commonly grows out of organizational complexity (the work of DeWeck at MIT) which is _his_ responsibility. Also, where is the complexity coming from? Fine, we do this sprint and make some things simpler. But if the graph is still trending up, we’ll be back where we started in no time. Finding and breaking mechanisms that breed complexity is the job of the CEO simply because nobody else has the authority. Of course, the CEO can delegate, but it’s still their job.

The main difference between this, versus using a web search engine, appears to be the readability sorting of definitions and the fact that the definitions are scraped from government resources.

The sorting is quite a bit of fun to see in action.

But, what advantage is there that the source is from a government resource? Versus, say, doing a Google search, or browsing Merriam-Webster's legal dictionary, or doing a search through Black's online edition, and so on.
The section on "signature hashes" was kept short on purpose because anything that relates to real cryptography or security use-cases should require at least using a high-quality (as in audited) high-level library (like `libsodium`), and / or doing your real in-depth research, not reading a few paragraphs on a random person's blog. :)

For example even in the case you've described "where you want to guarantee nobody could force a collision" my suggestion is to use a keyed algorithm (like Blake3) or a HMAC and choose a different key (if not for each "instance" algorithmically tied to it, at least for each "deployment"). It doesn't solve the brute force, but it might save you from other mistakes related to how you use those hashes (like for example when the attacker might swap or replace two payloads with their hashes).
Solar and wind have these economic properties:

- the marginal cost of energy is zero (once the investment made producing a kWh is free)

- fix costs are almost zero

For the nuclear energy we have the following:

- the marginal cost of energy is low (the cost of the uranium mostly)

- the fix costs are incredibly high (wether the reactor produce or not, the payroll is the same, the maintenance cost are the same, etc...)

So what happens: on sunny or windy days the regulation imposes solar and wind producers to curtail their production. They are forbade to distribute their free kWh, because otherwise the "baseline" producers (nuclear and coal mostly) will have to stop their facilities or sell their kWh at market price. In both cases they would lose money.

Solar and wind intermittency means the following: you cannot switch them on at will. Nuclear plants have the opposite problem: you cannot switch them off without bleeding money.

The solution for solar and wind is: install enough capacity so the worst day of the year (in winter with little wind) you produce enough to cover the needs. If you add storage and/or long distance distribution you can lower the requirement for total installed capacity.

In this context the only solution for nuclear is the following: you lobby the government to make regulations in your favor and cover your losses. Otherwise you bankrupt. On the long run I bet on bankruptcy.
This is short-sited hysterical nonsense. It is much better to build a fab there than to grow food there.

There is nowhere near a crisis level of water shortage in the Colorado river basin. It’s still well within the planned tiers of the Colorado river compact. AZ’s cut is on par with CA’s. Maybe you’re thinking of NV?

A fab uses significantly less water than a farm, can benefit much better from solar, and should be placed in a place like that receives effectively no natural disasters. About the dumbest place to put this would be somewhere on the San Andreas fault or cascadia subduction zone. AZ, NV, and NM are some of the best places for anything expensive that needs stability environmentally.

I saw a few posts discuss using the Wiktionary dump directly vs. the freeDictionary API, which is difficult to do because the raw wiki text isn't immediately usable. I actually created and open sourced a project several years ago that I never publicized that lexes and parses the Wiktionary dump:

https://github.com/vthommeret/glossterm

Specifically it can understand and execute 21 different wiki text templates (e.g. "cog", "borrow", "gloss", "prefix", "qualifier”), e.g. {{inh|es|la|gelātus}}:

https://github.com/vthommeret/glossterm/tree/master/lib/tpl

And eventually parse it into this structure, which has a list of all definitions (distinguished into nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, etc...), etymology, links, and descendants for a given word:

https://github.com/vthommeret/glossterm/blob/master/lib/gt/p...

Further parts of the pipeline turned different relationships into edges that I could stick into a graph database and do certain graph queries. This allowed me to do certain queries like find French, Spanish, and English words that share a Latin root.

I ended up parallelizing this specific query using Apache Beam and then dumping the results into Firestore so they could be queried via a web app. Here's an example for the Spanish word: helado

https://cognate.app/words/es/helado

Under the "Cognates" section, it knows that it comes from the Latin root "gelatus" from which English has borrowed the word "gelato".

I originally started this project when I was learning Spanish. If you just look up the definition of helado (ice cream) it doesn't necessarily help you learn it. But I found that if I could relate it to languages I already knew (e.g. English and French), it was easier to remember. In this case helado is related to gelato, but you won't find that in e.g. Google Translate or SpanishDict.

Ultimately, I found that while the Wiktionary data is amazing, it’s also a bit of a quagmire for finding cognates. I would miss certain etymologies where you had to follow a descendant tree 2 or 3 levels deep. Or a definition would just mention a word it was related to. But if I expanded the query to include these instances, then it significantly increased the amount of non-cognates that showed up in the results.

So I created a useful set of tools (which I never wrote about until now), but I realized the end result of a web UI that showed the relationships between words would require a significant investment in data quality that likely wasn’t possible without changing Wiktionary itself / community investment.
> Yes, this would require massive pumping stations to lift the water up the Continental Divide at some point (the lowest lift would be 4,000 feet in Campbell, New Mexico, close to Albuquerque), but then it would be all downhill using gravity to Lake Powell or somewhere else on the Colorado above the Glen Canyon Dam.
A somewhat similar project that I started at Google (this was US-only) was:

Common constructions of computer terms ("database", "processor", "thread", etc.) These words appear in patent claims, and the claims are what determine infringement (I use the word "construction" instead of "definition" deliberately).

You might well think there's a standard dictionary of them. There is not, at least as of 5-6 years ago. The parties in a lawsuit propose a construction, and the judge creates one. He's not obliged to follow precedent. Thus you find that "database," for example, has been construed to include a flat file. The construction is supposed to be what the patent writer meant at the time of filing OR what the general industry meaning was.

If that sounds murky, it is. With a chemical patent, there are standard meanings for words, and you won't get far arguing that "methylated" doesn't mean what it generally means. Not so in software.

Often after the judge's claim construction, one side will offer to settle, because they know they'll lose.

Sometimes you'll see a patent from some other country, and of course the meaning of the terms there may not be the same as in the US. So this would be a much, much bigger project than you've taken on.
Yea, It is as if people expect you to pull out the phone and stare at it if you have nothing to do in a public place. Imagine someone catching you, being lost in your own thoughts, in somewhere like that. They would suerly peg you for a weirdo.
Congratulations! Super cool. One of the first applications I was blown away by, for many different reasons, was OmniDictionary <https://web.archive.org/web/20050310043334/http://www.omnigr...>. It was something that I couldn't imagine existing, but did, and it was one of the first apps the company I worked for at the time had created. (It relied on a server!? This was an ENTIRE app?)

It used a DICT server for lookups: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DICT

And 14 years ago, some servers still existed. They're hard to find now.

It always struck me as something fantastic to a) learn how to interface with a server b) learn cocoa/objective-c/etc c) redesign a simple app (https://www.omnigroup.com/assets/img/app/graffle-7/mac/full-...). Something you've just described in detail. Well, most of it.
This is not correct and even if it was it wouldn't affect my point. You used to run your own multiplayer servers, now this is the exception to the rule.

While not exactly similar to North America continental divide, traversing from the Yangtze river to the North would require traversing some hilly or mountainous area. [0] mentions that there is some uphill location that required pumps.

At this point, there is no feasibility studies on the NA East-West water canal. There is no idea on how efficient it is vs desalination (in terms of energy), its ecological impact, and the required cost for the design and construction.

My main idea is that we should not dismiss the idea and that the Army Engineering Corps should at least do feasibility studies on it*. A proper feasibility studies could unveil the true challenge, benefits, and disadvantage (rather than anecdotal guess) of the water canal.

I am not exactly familiar with the NA Southwest and Southeast but the canal could possibility bring other benefits, such as reducing the heat in the region and opening up new land for farming and irrigation. It could have a trigger a new economic growth while at the same time, reducing flood risk at the Southeast. There is also a possibility that the this could trigger a transfer of wealth (in terms of payment for water, technical skills etc) from the relatively prosperous south West Coast to the Southeast, reducing inequality. Of course, I am not eliminating the possibility that the canal could be a white elephant and trigger untold ecological and natural disaster, but unless a feasibility studies is conducted, we never know.
