Further looking into HVDC, it seems to be about $500k/km. Over distances of 4000km, that's $2/Watt ($2.20 with losses) or about the cost of producing the electricity in the first place.

Better than fuels at present, but inherently fragile so not a complete solution. Also those are just claimed building costs not including operation (and assuming it lasts about as long as the pv), and the natural monopoly spawned always winds up being a massive tax money sink, so it's not clear that building thousands of hvdc lines is going to work out.
dont know about the ergodox, but the moonlander is worth every cent and you should definitely make that dream a reality. knowing what I know now that im over the learning curve I probably would have paid 500 for it. it would be nice if it was compatible with the low profile switches this one has though.
Judging from the USB-C at the top and other tact/slide switches on the side, my guess is that the MCU and a prismatic battery of sorts (500mAh Li-ion?) occupies that space. A low profile design will always have some tradeoffs; perhaps an oled in that space is possible with a cutout for a badge.
> which require you to tap in a pin all the time

I really wish US credit cards would finally switch to PIN as well. We all end up paying for lost/stolen card fraud indirectly, and PINs are extremely effective at preventing that.

The downside would be if banks would use that as an opportunity to shift the liability for all remaining fraud onto cardholders as well, but the same scenario already exists with ATMs and debit cards.

> Also less fraud protection

Practically, not really. Most banks go above and beyond the legal requirements for limiting fraud liability for unauthorized debit charges and offer zero liability as well. The same chargeback framework that exists for debit also applies to most credit transactions.
Once you find the things that anchor you physically, it makes it much easier to sail where you want to sail and stay when you want to stay. No matter what passes around me or what happens in life, having these anchors about myself lifts the good times to be more enjoyable and the bad that much more surmountable.

I'm happy for you.
This is my experience. I have an interesting gig with lower-than-average pay. Periodically I'll take a look at other opportunities because the wages are so good, but most of the time the jobs don't sound better. Mind you, I couldn't pin down what might pull me away.

It sounds like you've discovered what you aren't aligned with, but you don't yet know what you do think is interesting or valuable. The first step is answering this question for yourself. What do you care about?

Science perhaps? Pick a field and you can probably find a lab or project in need of research software engineers.

Healthcare? Plenty of work in digital health records, computational drug discovery, or so I've heard.

There is a world of mundane but important work humming along below the turbulence, but it doesn't have the hype or marketing bullshit and isn't as visible.

In fact, almost everything has this problem.

There seems to be (someone more knowledgeable please correct me) no way to avoid having a resonant frequency. The only thing that can be done is to change it.

The resonant frequency of a glass can shatter it. The resonant frequency of a room can make it uncomfortable to be in. The resonant frequency of a bridge can tear it apart.

We even have to take special precautions between 2.4GHz wifi and processors running at a 2.4GHz clock speed because they are capable of hitting the exact same frequency.

As someone pointed out, the difference in manufacturers would have made the resonant frequency slightly differently between the specific drives.
US law does the same thing. But you need to deal with it.

For reference, this was several years ago- 2015 or thereabouts. The FreeBSD project has since added or improved various security features (or made them more accessible) directly as a result of the work from and/or the pressure exerted by HardenedBSD.

This was not the case early on, and to my memory, in the early days of HardenedBSD, the relationship between the two groups could have generously been described as acrimonious. For an example, see the ASLR-on-FreeBSD debate.

Is this a US issued card by any chance? The issuing country/bank determines whether a PIN can/must be used.

Mobile wallet based payments also don't need one, usually (since authentication already happens on the customer's device).
I specifically looked for areas where I knew the end result would actually help people. In this case, I have a lot of mobile experience and interviewed with a medical company that helps diabetics manage their insulins and communicate with their health care providers. I also took a pay cut specifically because I want to help people. There are more important things than money. If you are willing to take a pay cut, there are tons of opportunities. You could even start a consulting company where you help non-profits with their tech/socials/website. They don't have much money but you would be making a real difference and you get to pick who.

Also, I don't know if they are hiring but look to something like costplusdrugs run by Mark Cuban where he is now selling more and more drugs at the lowest price possible.
> Take this area, plenty of plots now housing cows. Distance to city centre (by car!) is 20 minutes.

That area is precisely the site of the SEM Nordost [0], one of the two major remaining new construction areas. And as you can see on that newspaper map, it's the border of the city - the area to the east is already Aschheim territory. Munich cannot build outside of its borders, no matter how much farmland there is.

> Just like in the Netherlands, about 50% of land in Germany is farmland.

Uh, yeah, we have to grow the food we eat somewhere, Germany has over 80 million people to feed. We already import way too much food from elsewhere, especially the Amazon rainforest where beef for export to Europe is made on burned down rainforest area.

The territory of the city of Munich is already full, and you completely ignored my last point above, that a city also needs green areas for fresh wind to come into the city, recreational areas for the people, and that high-rises and other highly dense developments bring their own problems with them.

Very timely. Just a couple days ago, I was describing to someone that I wanted a smartphone holder for my backpack strap... that would not invite mugging by being prominent... while permitting the smartphone to function like a hands-free bodycam (whenever bad stuff started going down, er, on the mean streets of Cambridge).

Now that I realize I can fabricate one-off outdoor gear, I don't have an excuse not to design this.
I think the most interesting jobs technically are in developer tools or developer infrastructure companies. This includes companies building databases (e.g. Cockroach, Neon.tech), compilers (e.g. JetBrains), CDNs (e.g. Fastly, Cloudflare), hosting (e.g. Digital Ocean).

These companies hire frontend developer, backend developers, core systems developers. You don't have to be a genius or a CS grad. You can always get in doing what you already know and do more of the core stuff over time if you like.

I use histre (http://histre.com) to accomplish this functionality, not only within Firefox but across browsers, computers, and even colleagues.

My favorite feature is being able to save all tabs within a window, send a link to a co-worker, and have them open up all the tabs. It takes like 5 secs, end to end.

Best of all: if they have the histre extension as well, they can instantly open all the tabs at once and even see my highlights - it’s like being able to send a browser window state to another person!

You can use a macro for your structs to make them changeable while prototyping. I think it is called @prototype or soemthing. You need a package for it. Google it.

It's wild to me to see such an anti-insect eating tirade on HN. Just observe the comments here: almost every highly upvoted comment is anti-insect, and the comments that express any positive sentiment towards eating insect is flooded with angry responses. Bizarre.
I was humbled by just how complex sewing can be for me as someone who up until recently only experience with sewing was mending rips and buttons by hand. That is to say, I have a lot to learn when it comes to applying sewing technique to patterns, and while designing patterns might be somewhat orthogonal to that, I hope I'll get to do that as well, but you're right, this website, at least for now is not about designing your own patterns, but rather about making your own gear.

I have zero experience in designing patterns, but as for the tools, I've heard great things about Valentina, an open source tool that has been also forked as Seamly2D (last time I checked Seamly2D seemed less maintained but that's all know).

As to the cost, I just checked to make sure he didn't change that some* patterns are free. The newer ones have for a pretty typical price for sewing patters as far as I can tell.

* The free patterns are for fanny pack, running belt, tote bag, stem bag as well as the stuff sacks and the zip pouch
Not the OP, but "the people at the top" fall into a few categories in my mind...

- Career politicians who are more interested in maintaining office than working for the public good.

- Corporate executives who prioritize profit/stock price over the common good. The Sackler family comes to mind.

- Financiers (of various types) who accumulate personal wealth to the detriment of the common good.

It's possible to be a good politician or a good executive and not be "evil", but there are enough notable examples of the worst of both that both careers are somewhat sullied in the public eye. And of course, it's all shades of gray.

No they wouldn't. $8600 MRR is a lifestyle business, not a startup that can potentially 100x. To borrow an old Google saying, VCs have forgotten how to count that low.

There's a lot of space for bootstrapped independent entrepreneurs at that level because VCs just don't care about a business that small. It's pocket change. The VCs will be focusing on finding the next platform (AirTable), not add-ons for existing platforms (this).

yeah, I'm thinking of enabling it, but what I'm making is a game engine that only has a few users for now and it would be a very very long way to being able to make a living income from game developers sponsoring it.

Maybe eventually it could get to the point where I could do part time freelancing supplemented with github sponsor income, but even that would take a long time.

I suspect outside of a few super-popular repo managers, github sponsorship doesn't bring much income (don't know if there's any public data on that)
Plenty of successful, profitable businesses are built on open source.

> Not everyone can be creating companies, otherwise who would be working at those companies?

Those who are not arrogant enough to think they are above the position. Those who tried running their own companies, got humbled by their failure and learned the hard way that perhaps any "uninterested" job is enough. Those who are find meaning in their lives from something else than their daily job.

But the worst group, and the majority of them: those who keep complaining about their jobs but are too afraid to take control of their own lives. These are the ones who keep making excuses like "I don't have much security net (sic) in my life" and "there is nothing interesting that would have revenue at the moment"
When I am great enough to be humble, you'll know. I like the sentiment of the article, though I have become personally suspicious of much self effacement. Most of being smart is being open to becoming smarter, which means actively seeking out having your mind changed. Being wrong in public is one of the fastest ways to get elusive answers as well, though admittedly the openness can deprive people of the satisfaction of correcting you, and they can quickly stop offering solutions and become resentful. Sticking your neck out on being stupid often yields commensurate rewards in the correction. Counter to the effacing humility prescribed by the article, I'd propose being bold in your questions and initiative at trying things yourself and being so terrible at them that someone sees what you are trying to do and corrects it. YMMV, but while humility gets reliable results in small groups (and I do value and respect it), I'd defy anyone to give an example of something that scales faster than being stupid. I would ask whether it's the confidence or obliviousness for acting and iterating in ignorance that yields experience.
No, you can use a macro which makes your structs slower but changeable. There are several Julia packages offering this functionality.

Would that Canon be something like the i-SENSYS MF9220Cdn [1] (who comes up with those names?) I just got for free (had to swap the black toner cartridge, for the rest it works just fine, it only has done ~12700 pages according to the counter...) which uses Canon's proprietary UFR II? There seems to be a Postscript-compatible version of the same hardware as well (i-SENSYS MF9280Cdn) so I guess I can always attempt to wrench that driver into this machine but for now it works quite well. Drivers are available for 'Linux 64-bit' and 'Linux 32-bit', x86/x64/ARM/MIPS. Everything I tried thus far - printing, copying, scanning to mail/file server using sheet feeder or flatbed, did not try the fax functions because who needs fax functions - works fine, toner for the thing is cheap (~€22 for a 6000 page cartridge) and the print quality is quite good.

Wait, an actual developer/engineer is not conducting the interview ?

To see some code is definitely out of the question, though. But asking about the development process et all I find to be the type of mandatory questions I would ask as a candidate (and expect to be asked as an interviewer) even if I already knew the answer, just because not doing it would be strange.

I have a 15-90 and a zigzag attachment. I would note that the trick to the attachment is that it works by shifting the fabric from side to side. A machine with a built-in zigzag function shifts the needle. This means that you're trying to move the fabric in both axes through a machine cycle rather than just one, and that two wholly separate mechanisms are doing it: the feed dogs handle forward, and the attachment handles side to side.

I've found that the heavier your fabric is the less likely it is that you'll be satisfied with the zigzag attachment. In particular, if you're trying to bar tack reinforcement points in gear, you might have a hard time.

The buttonhole attachment, on the other hand, covers the feed dogs in the bed of the machine, and the buttonholer handles all of the movements of the fabric on its own. I've had fairly good luck with it. If you're only doing bar tacks, you can set it up to make a "button hole" with the sides overlapping, and it does a pretty good job.

I've sewn my own lightweight tent, and I've found that you really don't need a zigzag for that (assuming a pattern that doesn't require one, obviously). Packs and duffel bags, on the other hand have a lot more stress on the points where the straps attach to the bag, and you'll likely want to be reinforce those points with bar tacking.
You wrote: <<automatically securing the rights to produce and distribute the patented good in developing nations>>.

Real question for you and others: Where do we draw the line? That is an enormously complex question!

I have an equivalent to discuss: During the COVID-19 crisis, I was bothered that the South Africa gov't was pushing so hard to get access to produce vaccines locally without paying patent licensing costs. (Without very advanced pharma manuf facils, it would be useless. Many people under estimate the complexity of producing these new mRNA vaccines, let alone distributing them safely and correctly.) South Africa is, by many measures, a middle income economy. They could absolutely affort 10-20 USD per citizen to vaccinate their population -- not so different than what EU paid for vaccines. Please do not interpret this post as "dumping on SA"!. I just want to discuss a very specific example.

Related: The Serum Institute of India (which I think is the world's largest producer by vaccine doses) eventually secured a licenses to produce and sell vaccines. (Wiki tells me three were licensed [very impressive!]: AstraZeneca/Oxford, Novavax, and Russia's Gamaleya Sputnik V.) Does anyone know the details of SI's licensing agreements?

There are new 120v heat pump hot water heaters that operate in this way:

https://cleantechnica.com/2021/11/29/120-volt-heat-pump-wate...

"120 volt heat pump water heaters come with a mixing valve integrated into the water heater itself. This mixing valve allows owners to keep their water at a higher temperature and as the water leaves the tank, the valve will mix “in the exact amount of cold water needed to ensure the water comes out of the water heater at the correct temperature.”
I don't think the move was due to nutritional advice. For example, margarine is cheaper than butter, and really gained in popularity during the depression and the war when dairy supply was shortening (ahem). It also has different culinary properties from butter, including being possibly vegan and behaving differently in baked goods. Overall though, at least since 2000, butter is far outselling margarine, so it seems like these days, it is a niche product and not really a "healthy" butter alternative.
