I had a look too, because I'm always looking for new sources of information and I was willing to entertain the possibility of this being one. It's not. Just throwing in some numbers doesn't make something analytical. Being analytical means analyzing. It means collecting the right data to support or refute a thesis, and applying a defensible methodology to their analysis. Without that, it's just numerology at best. Throwing random unsourced factoids around is just bait for the credulous; it's exactly what anyone bashing "MSM" should know enough to recognize and avoid.

Unfortunately, some people will always conflate comfort with credibility. If they prefer certain conclusions, they'll overlook how those conclusions were reached. It's called confirmation bias, and GP seriously needs to look it up.

Trees only have a finite lifespan. Even "wild" forests reach end of life stage and that's when responsible logging and forestry management can promote healthier forests.

Using those trees sequesters the captured carbon into structures. Leaving them to stand and die in the forest releases that captured carbon.

This is actually the reason I'm insuring my house with the same company that holds my mortgage, so at least I don't have to pay the mortgage if they're wiped out in such an event.

I like this logic.

My only concern would be that, in many cases an insurer might have a clause to pay cash or rebuild, their choice. Or some other conflict which may cause issue with the mortgage holder (many mortgages can force sale in certain circumstances).

But I like your premise, and will poke at it here.
> Why not exFAT... Microsoft owns several patents, and anyone who implements or uses exFAT technology needs Microsoft's permission, which typically also includes paying fees to Microsoft.

While BigFAT not being encumbered by any patents is a good thing, the camera industry have pretty much standardized on exFAT for their removable file storage format. Something I'm curious about is how a 5GB video file (quite common and actually on the smaller size for 4K and 8K recording sessions) is written and accessed between the two file systems. BigFAT says that the file would be written in 4GB chunks; is there something similar happening with exFAT or is the file "one chunk?" (Apologies if I have the terms wrong -- I'm not a filesystem expert.) The author laments that the exFAT format has been adopted for SDXC cards but given who all is in this group and what their use cases are I can discount "because Microsoft strong-armed them" as a reason for them selecting it.

It's technically not a prohibition, but because the Reserve Bank of India regulates banks and requires a license to deal with anything banking, even if you already have an existing relationship (with other jurisdictions it only penalises marketing into their country which is understandable) with the account holder RBI could just sue us for operating without a licence, and RBI tends to just sue even if you think it's stupid. The resident is never penalised here (unless you have very large stash offshore), it's the bank.

For the second point on persistence, this guy must have a lot of patience. I've struggled on this actually. If the initial push is strong enough I sit through 3-4 days but at least for me I can't seem to come back and finish it if I put it away for more than a day.

That close to a star, the planet's rotation is probably tidally locked with its orbit, which means there's no diurnal *or* seasonal cycle. There's a summer hemisphere in permanent daylight; a winter hemisphere in permanent night; and a temperate twilight zone in between.
I'm going to throw an addendum on to this one: if you fix a bug, and then do a refactor, I'll agree, it's probably best to split the PR's up. But that's just the common sense of keeping changes small and logically contained. I'll also agree that it's best not to interweave the two.
> I like Julia, but this is a point of frustration for me as well.

It's a point of frustration for most of the community, it's just something we're willing to put up with (and work around) for the other benefits of the language. If the tradeoff doesn't seem worth it to you, it's totally fine to wait it out until it's in a more acceptable place for you.

There's a lot of focus on improvements surrounding this in the recent and upcoming versions, precisely because of this frustration, but it's still going to be a gradual process.
I used to say that Swift and Julia are the closest to my idea of an ideal language, but I've heavily shifted towards Swift.

The main issues for me: The function(object) is bad for readability and IDE completion. No interfaces. 1-based indexing.

When I use Swift, I'm not missing much from Julia of in terms of core language design. I'm missing the REPL and some parts of the ecosystem.

Yea but keep in mind anytime you get a bug your session goes away so you can end up eating hours from a day precompiling. Not worth it with heavy pkgs imo. Wish they had incremental compilation like rust because most compiled Lang's are noticeably faster than Julia precompilation ime.
It is quite likely that you have fallen afoul of some of the standard performance 'gotchas', like non-const globals or inadvertently creating type instabilities. Have you consulted the Performance tips?: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/performance-tips/

Efficient Julia code should normally look simple and elegant, not 'ugly' (unless you are going into deep optimizations, like manual simd, or some times heavy reliance on in-place operations.)

I think calling it 'deceptive' is problematic. Of course you can write slow code in Julia, like in any language, but did you write code that you think should be fast, but wasn't?

> I don't buy "it's compiling at run time" argument, since other (interpreted) languages do not have this problem.

I'm a bit confused by that statement. Compiled languages have to compile, interpreted don't. What did you mean here?

To quote their FAQs:

>Is it firesafe?

>WikiHouse is not really any different from most kinds of 1-3 storey buildings with timber roof, floors, or internal walls, in that the building needs to be designed with adequate means of escape, and the chassis needs to be reasonably protected from catching fire. This can usually be achieved either with a plasterboard internal lining, by using a non-toxic fire protection coating, or by installing a basic sprinkler system.

>If you are building several adjacent houses, located close together in a row, you will usually need to use an external fire barrier material to prevent fire spreading from one building to the next.
ExFAT is not limited to a 4GB maximum file size. It just has more than 4GB in the file.

I guess 4GB seemed like a reasonable limit when FAT32 was designed.

Most likely FAT32 has a 32bit number for file size and ExFAT presumably has either a 64bit one or stores file size in some format other than bytes.

100G back then was more of a satire, something unimaginable.
However, it is true that installed RAM hasn't increased a lot..

Actually it is not very true, in the mid 2000 4 GB was standard and now 16GB is more or less standard.

We all know Apple might reject an app for any reason it wishes. This is a poor answer to support a claim that it wouldn't want this specific app.

Trees can grow over a century and stay up for centuries. Large old trees over here have scars from multiple survived forest firest etc.

Cutting down a 50 year old tree and putting it to a building instead of letting it grow is not an obvious carbon sink to me. The branches might be used for energy nowadays, but the bark and roots will release CO2 etc. The new sapling will grow very slowly (kg carbon per year) for the first 15 years.
It changes with age I think. I would have thought the same as that guy in my 20s, but in my 30s now, I dont have accounts anywhere like amazon or facebook or google, I keep 3 people in my phone, I buy cheap stuff, focus on my kid and my work and I dont really feel we live in a consumption world.

I make a bit less than you, and have also been approached by investors.

I'm not sure what an investor would bring to the table. I guess they would tell me to hire people, tell me to raise prices, tell me to do more marketing, etc. I doubt they would pay me substantially more than I make now without substantially increasing the amount of work I have to do.

I don't really want to do any of that. I've tried hiring people, and didn't like the responsibility. I realised I prefer working on my own. I make enough money to support my family, and I prefer having the free time to read HN instead of hustling to get more people to buy my app.

I actually am disappointed that Microsoft has a chance to fix some inherent problems with FAT but didn't, even considering the main use case of a simple FS. Notably, it still has the notorious year 2100 bug (or 2108 bug, depending on the implementation), the metadata is weird and not at all straightforward, it's basically just extending FAT32 and some minor updates since Unicode and UTC are now here.
I clearly despise academics (and the papers they write) who think that everything should look novel by hiding your thought process.

Sadly, especially in fields where conferences are favored over journals, this seems to be common: you only have a single chance of impressing the reviewer, so you lose little by hiding your thought process, and if possible make your result look more complicated that it actually is.

Many papers I read look needlessly complicated, and I cannot help but wonder why the authors chose this style. I've already been rejected because reviewers found my contributions too simple, however I'd say that the majority prefer to highlight the fact that the paper is "easy to understand". (Of course, sometimes you also need to get told that your contributions are minimal).

Sometimes, I wonder if I have this point of view because some academics like to hide their simple result under a mountain of useless rigor, or because I'm not smart enough to comprehend the necessity of the above rigor and I'm just a dumb engineer who chanced into research. I'd say both are true, but usually not at the same time: some papers are clearly hiding a small contributions, while some are just above me.
Heh, quite nice. I wish LISP in general standardized something like this.
> The carbon sequestered by the trees is now in the building materials

You're ignoring material waste. This process doesn't consume 100% of the tree; only a portion of the tree's carbon is sequestered into the building. The rest is rotting.

> The space the trees were in will now have more trees grown in them.

Trees are renewable, but it's not quite "copy&paste". Further, the harvesting of the trees was certain to be carbon intensive.

So, on the whole, you can trust this process IS NOT CARBON NEGATIVE.

What it may be is LESS CARBON INTENSIVE than a traditional process. They are VERY FAR from crossing the neutral line and yet are trying to claim carbon negative? That's pretty brash.

Does the objection make more sense now?

Also, all the "extra" mass is further away from you, and gravitation is proprtional to distance cubed. Interesting.

Assuming constant density as per the grandparent, the mass increases with the cube of the radius.
