The compressor motor converts a large portion of the electricity it consumes directly into waste heat which is why the motor warms up
much more than from the friction.

This is in excess of the heat being removed from the refrigerated area.

Air conditioners have the warm-running compressor outdoors, but refrigerated indoor appliances release that heat into the room along with the heat
transferred from inside the refrigerator. And then the AC encounters further inefficiency as it next removes this heat from the room.

Even the motor of a ceiling fan warms up a room (gradually) if there is no AC and windows/doors are not open adequately to let that heat escape.

Ceiling fans have big motors and are best outdoors like at a tiki bar.
there's a little widget on the site that can check that for you
The factoid that gets thrown about is carbon emitted per energy released. Coal does better than wood on this super specific stat, but it's fossil CO2 we just dug out the ground, whereas wood from a managed forest used for other purposes is carbon negative if the alterantive is leaving it to rot to methane, because it's extracting CO2 from the air and then the managed forest is growing more trees that do the same, because we use wood for things.

There's complications and details, but overall if everyone is doing what they should its okay and most of the hype is fossil fuel propaganda. Windmills upset the worms etc.

I don't think anyone has anyone's back. All it takes it one group of people to demonize you, and the damage is done.

When some terminally online lefties doxx you and try to get you fired, does some other group of people sweep in to your defense, in your experience?

Your characterization of “believe women” existing as a counterbalance to the flaws of the legal system is compelling, although it still doesn't seem like a good idea. One system is unchecked vigilante bullshit, while the other system is a transparent, evidence-based process. It's like "the medicine doesn't work; let's sacrifice goats and bloodlet instead".

Nitpick: it's not “believe women”; it's “believe ALL women”, which is more hilarious. (And frankly sexist, as it strips women of the agency to lie, which -- spoiler-- is a thing people do all the time.)
Your website isn't a public square because you're the one publishing content to it. We're discussing the public platforms that Facebook, Twitter and Google run, and I don't consider those three companies as publishing the content they host.

That's a good question, I don't really know. I guess I just have a hard time accepting that when I was a teenager, my folks were aware that our uncle (my god father) was 40min away using every day, but as an extended family we'd agreed we were no longer going to be trying to change that. I think it was decided they'd rather him at least out of harms way and at peace than him going back to prison.

I'd probably end up the exact same way. I was hospitalized recently and was given hydrocodone for the first time in my life, I begged the doctor not to give it to me again, regardless of my pain levels, because it was the nicest I remember feeling in years and immediately just wanted more and more. Opiates terrify me like nothing else, largely because I know that if the circumstances were different, I'd probably be telling my future god son the same thing, that there's no better feeling on earth.

It's absolutely a tall order, maybe even an impossible one. I really don't know what I or my parents could have done differently, I just wish Tim was still here.
Yes, willingness to learn is key. The military does a great job of designing "experience" as well. Outside the military, simulating that experience can be hard to pull off.

That is understandable. Many people inside the USA either aren't completely aware of the divisions and/or have their own opinions. I'm not honestly sure if the divisions matter all that much in a general sense anyway.

It is an "open ecosystem" if I am understanding your meaning correctly. You can make your own ("mini") programs for WeChat. I presumed that's where the original "it is a browser" comment stemmed from.

I was trying to point out that the super-app label stems from the bevy of first-party features WeChat has built in. There aren't real analogs to that in the western world (Facebook would like to be one of them).

That the government has their hands on their scale is orthogonal to this discussion.
The Rust way to do low level programming is easier for those that bring some experience from Wirth languages approach to systems programming, instead of being tainted by C.

In a way it is like meeting an old friend, a kind of Ada/Modula-2/Object Pascal coupled with the borrow checker and more curly friendly syntax.

The movie is right. Some survivors said it broke in half, many didn’t. It was thought it went down in one piece until the shipwreck was discovered in the 1980s.
Ask HN: Biographies of Companies or Things?
I've enjoyed books narrating the history of a company or a thing, like David McCullough's The Path Between the Seas, Jon Gertner's The Idea Factory or Dava Sobel's Longitude.

But, missing a name for this particular genre, I have a hard time finding new entries. Does HN have anything of that kind to recommend?

Other books I've found so far:
- Skunk Works by Ben E. Rich & Leo Janos
- The Box by Marc Levinson
- Apollo by Charles A Murray & Catherine Bly Cox
- The Great Bridge also by David McCullough
Ah, no I didn't.

Well, to be honest the 3070 is twice the performance of the 5700X so I'm not going to get upset. But that's good to know for the future.
I made www.chesscraft.ca for myself, mostly to survive my brutal commute to work pre pandemic. Today I still prioritize features I'll enjoy most, even tho I have 250k installs now.

The game will also never have ads, even tho lots of people tell me I'm missing out. Then again, those people haven't or can't build fun games.
That's not uncommon, when you make something easy* to learn and use you obfuscate certain things that are more "advanced" to streamline the onboarding experience, and then when you want to break out of the streamlining you gotta learn to circumvent those "stops" somewhat, which often end up being pretty non ergonomic. It compounds as well because the ones developing the language will have a bias towards what it currently offers and the "unorthodox" side keeps getting set aside.

*and by easy there I mean streamlined and more intuitive on most expected "common" tasks than the alternatives

It's a PR solution; it's not supposed to please engineering, systematizing left-brained people, but to calm down a Twitter mob. YouTube had more than enough market power to simply force advertisers to comply, and advertisers were begging to be given a tiny concession in order to end their boycott while saving face.

This solution would have avoided the adpocalypse entirely.
I agree that fly fishing is beautiful, but disagree that it is an elective way to make things more difficult in the name of beauty. Most fly fishing happens in relatively shallow rivers where flies comprise a large part of the fish diet. There isn't really any other way to catch the fish. What I love about fly fishing, though, is that it often takes place is beautiful mountain streams. The beauty of the environment is hard to beat.

Not only compositionality, but for autopilot I would want an appropriate apprehension, emergency response, courtesy & safety emulator through-and-through
and I would want it to more accurately resemble human behavior than what all other AI accomplishments have reached at any one time.

Then it must further be tuned to perform even more appropriately on those points than the most effective human driver.

The average of human drivers is not a valid benchmark.

When you think about it, natural language efforts could probably use more effort tackling this same type of challenge.

Humans too IRL so maybe when it's good for the man and good for the machine in completely undeniable ways, then you're on the right track.

Hate speech is illegal in many jurisdictions too. So are specific uses of phones for other purposes, aka "wire fraud."

Of course, "you can only moderate speech that's illegal" is different from "you can moderate anything you want" but it's also incompatible with the ruling

> Simply put, an event’s format is a plan for the event, expressed in units of time. For example, every episode of Saturday Night Live follows this exact format. The format is so consistent that, in 45 years of weekly run time, the show deviated from its published format only nine times.

How does a fingerprint remain stable over any reasonable period of time? How do you distinguish between different user accounts on the same device? How do you tie a fingerprint to your database of existing customers? How do you keep cookie data from conflicting with fingerprint data?

I have yet to ever see a database of fingerprints or what it even looks like. It could very well be that advertisers keep it as part of a secret black-box, but every vendor we have ever used has been entirely dependent on cookies and the only data we've ever collected has been cookie or session-based. I've been sold a lot of garbage adtech over the years, so my hunch was that this was another bit of industry vaporware.
How do groups of people not have the rights of people?
This seems to be a total non-sequitur from the previous comment. What does this have to do with arenas versus other memory allocation strategies? And in what way are hardware architectures being expected to accommodate Rust?
I let out a groan when I got to the word "Zettlekasten". Then a sigh of relief when I got to "private coaching of Neo-intellectuals" because I realized the article was obviously satirical.

Legitimacy isn't what you'd emphasized initially, however, and my sense is that presenting Weber's definition and analyzing it with specific focus brings the issue to light more usefully.

I agree that the question of legitimacy is central, and highly concerning.

Intrastate conflict would fall outside Weber's definition, though how specifically that occurs can vary, e.g., within international zones (usually maritime, occasionally air or space, outside of Antarctica very seldom on land), or with border / sovereignty conflicts (India/Pakistan, India/China, China/Taiwan, North & South Korea, Israel/Palestine, Russia and numerous former Soviet republics, etc.), failed states (Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan), or geopolitics (numerous US invasions, incursions, regime-changes, etc., for example).

What the US is doing in terms of demanding device access and holding data for inordinate lengths of time, as well as numerous other examples of the state-capitalist surveillance apparatus is exceedingly troubling.

But getting Weber's definition correct makes for a better basis for discussion.

(This has become a bit of a bugbear for me.)

You seem to be mobilized by Rust quite a lot.
A core principle of extremist conservatives is that the laws apply to their enemies, but not to them. You can't deploy their logic and expect them to suddenly take the rule of law seriously.
I very much didn't like the ampersands the first couple of years looking at Elixir code. I think I've gotten used to it now. Looking at my own code, it's definitely more terse than it used to be. I do usually move such things into a separately named method, or a lambda that's assigned to an appropriate named variable.

I do agree with you though, when you get a screenful of ampersands that contains non-trivial business logic - it's not great.
> So the question is whose moral are we considering? Your personal morality? Mine?

The morals of the community in question. The laws and customs of unrelated countries or communities are immaterial to the decisions of this particular community.

> And is it moral to ostracize someone from society because of a crime they have been punished for?

It's one thing to ostracize someone from society entirely. It's much less extreme for one particular community to say that someone with a track record of abusing authority or positions of trust shouldn't be put in a position of authority or trust.

There are only a limited number of positions of authority in this community, and plenty of people who are perhaps more deserving of that position who don't have a track record of abusing such positions. It was noted that this person received financial support from the conference. Maybe that didn't need to happen, given there are others who were not financially supported?
These are the people who are arguing that the president is above the law. In a democracy where the rule of law is supposed to be absolute. That's a direct threat to democracy.
This is precisely it.

Corporations exist as creations of congress and legislation.

Can congress and legislation be used to create entities that can then be used to surveil, and curtail our freedom of speech?

If so, isn’t congress passing legislation that limits free speech through an intermediary?
I see. That makes sense... yeah, the design tools still do struggle with a proper responsive workflow.

Some of the less experienced designers also don't necessarily understand the box model or CSS limitations and come up designs more suitable for print that are really hard to translate to a DOM (and result in a poor UX even if you do).

The joy of Figma is that it makes collaborative wireframing and prototyping much nicer, but it still can't produce full-fidelity DOM mockups :(

I don't see Figma as replacing something like Dreamweaver (which actually operated on the DOM), but more like a better prototyping tool than Photoshop or Sketch -- primarily because it makes it trivial to view designs and iterations on the web. That means the designer still has a lot of freedom to make designs that unfortunately don't neatly conform to the DOM... but that's good, because hey, that's job security for us, right? :)

The day we get a true interactive WYSIWYG, FE devs will be outta a job, lol.

> Apple don't ban web browsers from the App Store

They do, in fact, ban web browsers other than Safari.

I know what you're going to say - "Chrome is available for iOS". It's just Safari with a different UI. All the parsing, rendering and javascript runtime code is Safari.
You don't need to understand where is calculus come from to tqke real analysis. Hell most academics who use calculus everyday did not study real analysis and they are fine. This extreme angle is not relevant. The difference is that you can't fot example understand physics without calculus but you can understand and study calculus without real analysis.
> It's a PR solution; it's not supposed to please engineering,

What does the an advertiser having to spend countless hours finding which channels they don't want to be associated with have to do with engineering? Nothing.
It's worthwhile to have some degree of financial stability. It lets you weather other problems with some equanimity. Do it. You'll have time later.

Fwiw though, the only times I ever considered this was when I was upset at my life at a startup. I'm now happy at another startup. So this is a little of do as I say not as I do. But there's no harm in 2 years of big tech. It might blunt your edge a bit but burnout will do that worse.
No, the ruling claims the 1st Amendment is irrelevant in determining the regulation of censorship because censoring speech is not speech. They go on to claim the 1st Amendment has a role to play in determining permissible restrictions on corporate censorship since such censorship can lead to a chilling effect on public speech. But they reject entirely the premise that forcing companies to platform speech is a form of regulating corporate speech.

I'm not going to comment on that conclusion, but your comment is a complete mis-frame of the argument, at least by my reading.
> One big usability improvement for features is the addition of cargo-add which can be help in editing features with its table of whats activated.

This made feature discovery much easier for me. Previously, I would often inspect the Cargo.toml for crates I wanted to use to see what features might or might not be useful, now it's all done with 'cargo add'.
The kind of people they want to silence the most can't afford the lawyer fees for that.
I don't get the case against monorepos, and why it's so polarizing.

You can share code without having to stand up infrastructure to host packages and whatnot.

You can separate concerns without introducing the infinite complexity of network io, queues etc. This is kind of a dig at microservices I guess, which have their place functionally (decoupled infrastructure, scaled independent of other services).

You can still deploy to separate targets, a code repository is not 1:1 with a deploy target, that is a fake constraint that never even existed.

Manyrepos ALWAYS end up being second class citizens. Test setup isn't as good as in the monorepo because that means duplicating it N times, and that is obviously wrong.

Common patterns are The Same But Different everywhere and/or there is crazy complexity in sharing code between repositories to alleviate this (often having its own problems)

It's just... all of that goes away with one/fewer code repositories. So... why? I'm not even anti micro-service, monorepo actually makes MORE sense with microservices IMO. Why do we do this?

Before someone points it out, I do recognize that a monorepo can still be poorly architected. We can all rest assured knowing that poor architecture is poor architecture whether it be monorepo, manyrepo, monolithic, microservice, PHP, Rust, blah blah.
This reminds me of how my friend Nick Gray throws parties. If you're in Austin - you've probably been to one of them.

He's got a pretty good overview on different types of events to host (sometimes personally the details feel overkill to me but it's like an SOP for your social life and it works (https://party.pro/happyhour/)).

If you're trying to upgrade your social life & build more connections - his book is easily worth it several times over (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1544530072).
How quickly is each consumed tree replaced, how quickly is the CO2 from the entire supply chain recaptured, and how quickly does the other pollutants degrade?

If it takes years to recreate the resources or recapture the CO2 from what is burnt in the course of days, then it is pretty grotesque to call it sustainable, but maybe the numbers show otherwise?

If everybody shares burners for highly processed pelletized wood that lives up to power-plant like smoke processing requirements (how many would you say do? 90%? 20%?), then indeed you might be able to just being as bad as coal... Which is horrible.

Air-to-water heatpumps are also an option, no need to compare to the heating solution with the highest installation cost.
You're right, I definitely made the stance out to be a lot more simple than it really is, I know there's a tonne of nuance to this topic.

I think all I was trying to say is in my limited experience, addiction and recovery seem to be processes so much better understood at an individual level than they do from a macro perspective. I don't think there's much at all the Canadian government could have done from a legislative or social perspective to bring Tim to recovery, I think my family, given our life-long relationship with him, maybe possibly could have.
Very interesting comments, thank you all for pointing the contradicting evidence. I was not aware that my understanding was controversial.

Apparently the mass of evidence that can be easily found, including Wikipedia and the TechDirt article linked, suggest that I was wrong in my understanding.

I do not remember from what source my understanding is from, but I remember it appeared to come from a semi-respectable source at the time.

The Tech Dirt article is at least implying that certain politicians are lying about that law. If we look at the article about the 5th Circuit ruling, it appears that implication is that the judges are misunderstanding the law as well.

I certainly don't think politicians are above lies. But I think large tech companies have very large vested interest here as well, including Wikipedia and Google. I don't think these companies are above misrepresenting the facts either.

It appears that the opinion I presented above is commonplace. It also appears that some of the sponsors(?) of the law and judges that have looked into this issue have opinion of the law that differs from the Tech Dirt article.

Also, it appears impossible to find the source where I read it from. These suggests to me that there is some controversy. Perhaps, in an ironic twist, the source is censored from Google results.

In any case, my profession has taught me to look more carefully when there is a large disagreement about the facts. Apparently I need to go to the primary sources and read the law next.
They already do, as people.
