> how can a VM be lighter than a container

It's still clickbaity, but the title implies a comparison between a very lightweight VM and a heavy-weight container (presumably a container based on a full Linux distro). You could imagine an analogous article about a tiny house titled "my house is smaller than your apartment".
> The original sin is that the web was free

I disagree. The thing that has destroyed much of what made the internet great is that it became ad-driven.
I have an Ergodox EZ. IMO this product type is a tough sell. I agree, a showroom would be helpful. I stumbled upon a Meetup group of mechanical keyboard aficionados, but it was after I bought my Ergodox. I was a bit of a hero when I did mention what I had.

I had mine for 6 to 9 months and it just didn't feel like it was for me. I didn't have all the keys a normal keyboard had, I couldn't remember how I mapped the keys, etc. So I went back to my ergonomic Microsoft keyboard. It only took a couple of days to realize how much better the Ergodox is. I remapped all my keys and started using it with a new found passion. There are still some tradeoffs, but every once in a while I 'feel' a keypress and I think about how cool my keyboard is.

It is worth the journey. If nothing else to realize that it isn't for you. If you spend a reasonable amount of time in front of a computer, it behooves yourself to make the tools as fine as possible.
Ask HN: Why doesn’t Apple allow torrent clients on the app store?
While torrent clients are often used for pirating, that’s not technically the stated purpose of the bittorrent protocol, it’s simply for P2P transfer of any files.

You could technically email pirated content to a large group of people too, doesn’t mean it would make sense for Apple to ban email apps.

Has Apple ever explained the justification for this?
For one thing, having humans write C for critical code is almost always a serious mistake. Almost anything would be better, which is why so much safety critical C is generated nowadays.
Let's say you want to use the system for heating with a heat pump.

Your energy consumption for heating might be ~ 3000 kWh/month during the winter months (Nov-Mar) for a moderately insulated house.

Assuming your PV produces only 10 % of the demand during these 5 months (so you have to rely on stored energy for the remaining 90 %) and your heat pump delivers a Coefficient of Performance of 3.5 then you'd need to store ~ 3900 kWh.

As to my back of envelope calculation, one standard 50 l bottle of hydrogen contains ~ 30 kWh worth of energy when filled at 200 bar.

So you'd need ~ 130 such standard bottles to store enough hydrogen.

That's quite a lot. But of course with a well insulated home, you'd maybe only need a third, so that'd be 3-4 bundles (with 12 bottles each).
I wish it would just show at least what the best product was in each category on the main page. Sick and tired of pogo-sticking around to see different categories.
> Exactly everything was burned and destroyed in WII.

This is an exaggeration. Just walk around and check the age of buildings in city centers. We did have Dresden but we also have Paris and London. Their big towers survived the war. The royal palaces more than that.

About trees and forests, there are plenty of wilderness where almost nobody lives and nobody chopped wood for staying warm in winter. Example, those areas in Romania or most of the Alps. It was different inside cities. Even if not every city was bombed to dust, people was really chopping trees. My father told me that it was forbidden (Milan, Italy) but winter is cold.
I'm using Svelte/Sveltekit for a project with about 80 pages (as the designer conceives them -- there are repeated patterns of course... there might be 30-40 sveltekit pages, though some are fairly complex.)

1) Don't feel bad about this. The smartest and most capable people in the world have been fired from jobs before.

2) Start covering your ass. Document everything they've complained about. If they said you're shipping out orders late or something, send an email noting you're shipping every single order out on time.

3) Start looking for a job. If you're lucky, you can find an increase in wages.

4) If you feel it's warranted, it probably doesn't hurt to try and salvage the relationship if you think it's in your best interest and there's still a chance to do so.

5) Don't get tricked into quitting somehow and ruin your opportunity to get unemployment.
The conditional check in the example code I provided is pretty much just the if/else that one writes, that's as closely located as you can possibly write it I guess. Like if some signals are read under a branch that's never taken they are just never read, that's it.

Also maybe there are good reasons for disliking it, but this seems harder to mess up, by default all dependencies are accounted for, automatically, that's not the case with dependencies arrays.

I'm curious if there are any videogames that render specifically for curved monitors? (And then if the level of curve is adjustable, like it's adjustable for these?)

Because projecting an image onto a plane vs. onto a cylinder becomes radically different the further you get from the center of your field of view -- flat photo mode vs panorama mode.

I'm vaguely aware that the commonly wider aspect ratio of curved monitors often isn't supported by games, because in multiplayer mode the greater field of view gives an unfair advantage... but maybe there's some subset of games that design for this?
Rest assured that if advertisers could display ads on the inside of your eyelids and charge you a fee to open your eyes, they absolutely would not hesitate for even one single second over "ethical issues" before implementing it world-wide.

My apologies. I was simply responding to a religious argument but got carried away.
Economics is the discipline of cargo cults. It is a deeply inexact art that is basically applied sociology and politics with a dash of maths, complicated by the fact that (1) people may make or break trillions of dollars depending on its conclusions (there aren't trillions at stake on whether or not the Higgs boson exists), and (2) it studies an immensely complex system of 8,000,000,000 humans (+ historical baggage) which is not accurately observable and whose behaviour changes with the very predictions you make!

It is a discipline where even the basic axioms are subject to disagreement and 100s of different viewpoints, yet many economists insist that it is a perfectly exact science.
It is in fact a very political discipline and we would all benefit if we realised once and for all that there is no Single Truth, that the "consensus" is not necessarily correct, and that There May Be An Alternative.

London Meetup tonight (8 Sept) postponed
The London Meetup tonight has been postponed due to the venue becoming unavailable as a result of the royal news. I’m not involved with organising it but was planning to attend. I didn’t get any notifications from Meetup about this and only found out by chance when double checking the details - so this post is in case others also missed it. Thanks for the efforts! Look forward to the rearranged one.

> This happened because we removed base load generation from coal and nuclear and replaced it with gas. The only thing which can turn on fast enough to match clouds movements.

You might not be able to turn nuclear on/off very fast but adjusting from ~5% to 100% and back is really fast. Actually faster then most gas peaker plants in W/min change rate.

This is not really done much outside of France as the running cost of a nuclear plants are roughly the same at 5% and 100% of output (actual fuel costs are very small part of the total cost of running a nuclear power plant)

Speaking from a PKI perspective you may head towards shorter lived certificates in many use-cases, NPE / automatable re-keying being examples of that.

However, for strong PKI on a consumer or enterprise encryption/decryption device, e.g. smartcards, there is big costs associated with shortening lifetimes. Not going to fly there.
I wish I could :(
Thank you for this. I wish more people would suggest solutions instead of just being a Debbie Downer constantly and crying about how the system can be gamed therefore it's all futile. We didn't create technologies we have today because people sat on a chair and kept pointing at the flaws without trying to make improvements.
Take mexico out and add the other anglos and you've got yourself a good an acceptable generalization!
My point is that ITER is designed for 500MW (thermal) output.
SPARC aims for something around 100MW (and is even further from continuous operation than ITER by design), and even the ARC successor (which is currently basically a pipe dream) is going to catch up with ITER in output power at best.

So even IF the whole SPARC thing goes according to play, it's going to be miles away from anything resembling a competitive power plant, while ITER is potentially something like a quarter way there (assuming that operating at 2GW thermal begins being somewhat attractive/feasible for a fusion-powerplant).

Personally, I strongly doubt that fusion power is EVER going to be an option because of simple economics; I just don't really see how a vacuum chamber surrounded by superconducting magnets, cooling systems, turbines and turbogenerators is ever going to compete (financially) with just slapping PV panels on a roof, putting some battery banks in the basement, hooking it up with an inverter and just repeating as necessary until power demands are met...
Passion (and motivation) can be fleeting. Find some career/job that has elements of the work that you like. Every job is going to have stuff that people don't want to do. Being a professional means slogging through times where you just don't want to do the work, it happens.

I like solving problems with computers and programming. Am I passionate about the apps I work on? Meh. I am passionate about solving problems though with the tools and experience I have. I find it fun.

You're 20 so my advice is find something you like and pays the bills and get some experience on different things. I think passion is more something you discover on your journey through life and not something you can figure out like a math problem.

Hey, sorry this is happening to you. I've been there, and it is no fun. Probably time to start looking for something new. Maybe it says something about you, maybe not. I've seen people who change managers or companies and really blossom, so it can be about fit.

In any case, reading between the lines it sounds like you've worked at places before, so just have confidence in your skills and move boldly and confidently into the future. If you can't do that, just fake the confidence vibe as much as possible.

I've been writing a simple single page form app the past few days and I like Fresh a lot. I really appreciate the simplified project layout vs my last setup of a react app project nestled in a parent express project. It just makes the devops, if you would even called it that, of writing a one-person full stack app easier. Deno running TypeScript without a compile to JS adds to this. I'm happy to see the Preact Signals demo to help manage state between islands in 1.1. Thank you for this great framework. :)
Following semantic versioning, libraries are essentially allowed to change very liberally on 0.x, so it makes sense to reach 1.0 only once the crate/API is stable.

In context (modern Japanese, capital-G "God"), I suspect that phrase would generally be interpreted to mean "believe in the monotheistic God of Christianity and other Western/Middle Eastern Abrahamic religions".
In notebook land, theres Framework, whose making totally repairable and upgradeable laptops, and so far they even released alderlake upgrades for their first model, iirc.

The biosphere is essentially in steady-state on human lifetime scales. Estimates are that 100 gigatons of carbon are released to the atmosphere as CO2 by fungal and animal and bacterial action on plant material, and an equivalent 100 gigatons are taken up by photosynthesis.

There were periods in the geological timeline where photosynthesis >> respiration and the result was massive accumulation of coal and oil deposits, such as the during the Carboniferous era (~350 million years ago).

Of course there are many good reasons to do reforestation - prevention of erosion, a supply of timber, habitat for wildlife, retention of water, etc. Offsetting fossil fuel emissions is not one of those reasons.

[edit: on medium length (10K year) timescales, there is an effect of storage of photosynthesis products, one that's involved in the past ~2 million year ice age cycle (with periods of around 100K years). There are two processes: storage of photosynthetic products in the deep ocean, related to decreased circulation, and storage in permafrost, related to growth of permanent ice, that slowly decrease atmospheric CO2 during the descent into ice ages.]

None of the RF ports come out to a connector so no that couldnt really work.

You CAN get high gain antennas for things like your WiFi router, it's my goto when an elderly relative complains about their wifi range.

You can't actually increase power with an (inactive) antenna but you CAN change it's radiation pattern. The higher gain omnidirectional antennas just take a radiation pattern that looks like a sphere (0dB gain) and squashes it into a donut shape. So you get more range laterally around the antenna at the expense of less above and below it

Yes, you can purchase lithium-ion-phosphate batteries, charger/inverters, and high-gauge conductors readily on Amazon and Aliexpress.

Show HN: InterviewedWith – Rate anonymously and explore interview processes
Hello,

I've just recently changed jobs and noticed I was having the same backline conversation with different peers about how the process went and how well or poorly structured it was. Or how much time it took. Or if they discussed salary upfront.

After some weeks I decided to ping a designer friend who was going through the same process and we ended up creating InterviewedWith (just launched).

There, anyone can submit an anonymous review of the interview process and rate it, talk a bit about how it was, set some timing and so on.

From a reader perspective the users have the chance to discover what they'll face so they can have beforehand the information I hoped I had before joining some processes.

Hope you like it and provide feedback!

> That's not altruism. Those meaningful relationships help the company/project the community was built around.

Which brings up another aspect of this whole issue -- we're talking about companies figuring out how to exploit the human need for community in order to increase profits. The companies themselves are not encouraging real community, they're farming people. Companies are not people, do not have the best interests of people in mind, but pretend like they are.

It's very distasteful at the least.
I interpret a major version number release as a commitment that the API won't make breaking changes. So releasing a 1.0 version of a library is kind of like promising that you'll make some attempt not to drastically alter the behavior. If you're doing this as a hobby or side project you might not want to make that kind of commitment.
