> I'm a game developer and game performance is better than ever.

I'm a game developer (and player) and I strongly disagree. What game can even do P95 144FPS on affordable hardware? On lowest graphics, with populated lobbies (there also can't be a that ONE map where this all goes to shit). And are we talking about AAA games or not? Because non-AAA means a minecraft knockoff cannot meet 60FPS.
if you're in any way worried about someone for example pe et rating your network or simply don't want to run it as a WiFi, you could also run your cables through your electric cables with something like a Powerline adapter.
Yes. Is that relevant here?

You can't DRM a solar panel. But if you want to devote your life to trying, I am not going to stop you.

EDIT: And the more I think about, it is very unlikely that you could do the same to an inverter. You could certainly brick the control electronics, but the power electronics, the stuff that matters, it would be difficult. So snipping a few wires and swapping out some boards is probably sufficient.

How about this, if anyone on this thread ever has their inverter remotely shut off because a company goes out of business, I will personally volunteer to develop a work around.
My solar panels report the amount of electricity generated so I get my SREC credits. These are direct payments for generating clean energy.

What frustrated me was that the company used a meter that reported over 3G, and then wanted me to pay $500 to upgrade my meter even though it was under warranty. They eventually found an ethernet port in my current meter, but they still charged me to run the cable. Fortunately, they got the cost low enough that it wasn't worth arguing.

Why are you making this up?
I don't want MS to monitor me. Anything that enables them to track me better is sensitive because I don't want to be monitored.
there's a reference I can't find discussing the financials of hinkley point C, a wildly expensive reactor and concluding that even with the extreme cost overruns, the levelized cost would still be superior to renewables if not for aggressive interest rates by financiers.
Certainly makes you wonder what something like Neuralink will be capable of if these kinds of results can be had from something as low-resolution as fMRI.

> You can still have that relationship with your publisher, but if you want that in your multiplayer game, you have to go back to a day where people behaved differently on the internet. Those days are gone, and it's not the publisher's fault. It's ours.

In these former days where people behaved differently on the internet, the internet was an insanely weird and wild place where the people did and posted things that are typically not considered acceptable behaviour anymore.

To get just a glimpse on this topic, see, for example, the following linked article and its dicussion on Hacker News:

Thus killing the economics of nuclear power relative to competing sources. The Navy uses nuclear power on a few dozen carriers and submarines because that's the only practical way to accomplish the mission. But after building a handful of nuclear powered surface combatants they abandoned that approach, and returned to conventional engines largely for cost reasons. Civilian power plants have to find a way to operate at a profit.
This is a well-written series (Parts 1 and 2 are linked in this article). This last part makes comparisons to the reactors designed and used by the US Navy.

If you read through all of this the message I got was that size is the enemy. In one part it notes that a 100MWe core meltdown could likely be contained by the vessel but a 1000MWe reactor meltdown likely wouldn't. This concern is part of why there are ever stricter requirements on civilian reactors.

So you have opposing forces: bigger reactors produce more power and scale better. Smaller reactors are safer and easier and cheaper to build. Smaller reactors probably means more of them, each requiring separate planning permission, design approval and so on. It also probably means people living closer to the reactor, which many would and do oppose.

This series makes a good case for regulation being a significant cost component but it doesn't really make the case (nor does it try to) that said regulation is overly onerous or otherwise unnecessary. A lot of regulation came about because of our experience with nuclear reactors, accidents and near-accidents and the bigger failur emodes of the larger reactors power supplies would likely want to build.

Agree. IIRC, I wrote my first SQL is 1996 and wrote some today. While not perfect, it’s amazing at what it does. I suggest reading Joe Celko to really up your SQL skills.
Yes, cost is the issue.

Everyone assumes that anyone hesitant about Nuclear power is focussed on the environmental or safety concerns, but that is wrong. The costs (and cost overruns) of the construction and maintenance of Nuclear reactors have been enough reason on their own to be bearish on Nuclear.

I'm hopeful that new technologies, such as small nuclear reactions that can be built in a factory, will address this.
I would imagine most HN posters have never done a DCF analysis in their lives but I know plenty of people who have which have never beat the market. Not sure I buy any model other than Graham-Dodd’s these days.
Matches the income of the population I would say.
Some places have a legal requirement to do this; I think in order to be able to protect the grid (not quite sure why the smart meter can't handle this though; maybe to do with frequency matching or diagnostics)

But the main reason they do this is pretty mundane - LCD panels often fail after a few years in the kinds of environments inverters are often installed in (hot, sunny). So they move the display to be an app instead, and you need an internet connection.

Good tl;dr !
The amount of subsidy required for nuclear is at least an order of magnitude larger than renewables.

Switching to renewable energy with massive amounts of storage is a world of cheaper energy than today. There has been zero learning curve for oil, and coal, and nuclear. If anything nuclear gets more expensive rather than less.

In contrast, renewables and storage are technologies that behave like semiconductors, or hard disks. There's a fairly predictable improvement in costs over time, resulting in massive changes in capabilities over the course of decades.

So not only is switching to renewables and storage cheaper than our current every sources, the faster we perform the change, the more money we save, the more of our resources we can devote to improving the quality of human lives, instead of devoting all that effort to make-work of welding pipes and pouring concrete.

Your comment seems highly relevant and sadly ignored. Some relevant links:

One of the first clips used in the video includes Clinton herself referencing a "cyber 9-11". This is directly followed by an American talk show host saying "Russia hacked our election". Immediately after this, Jane Psaki, directly says "Russia, you know, of course, hacked our election." How many times do they have to have said it?

I've heard this type of revisionism before, saying that back in 2016 they were actually just talking about Russia _interference_ they used the word "hack" so many times to mean something completely different, but I can't in good faith take it seriously. I'm not an American and never will be, but up in Canada we're forced to follow American elections, and I distinctly remember waking up to be told that Trump had cheated, Russia had hacked, etc etc.
Yeah, this was one of those situations where the hardware guys create a super cool thing that requires amazingly complex software to take advantage, and it turns out the software guys aren't going to solve all the problems you created.
The results of every election is questionable, and should be proven to not be questionable.

Especially in the US, when it's been shown time and time again that Americans are not to be trusted by the government, via:

* TSA checks,
* clear bags at games,
* weapon bans in government buildings, even when cops carry firearms,
* required tax reporting followed by threats of audits
* police stops for driving no faster than the police
* ID requirements for voting, drinking, etc.
* disclosure of all banking and stock information

Perhaps this is warranted, or some of it is. But the government has also proven itself untrustworthy:

* congress making millions while in office from various deals, donations, and lobbying
* president assuming more authority than constitution permits
* senate not passing a budget for over a decade
* continuing resolutions that bring in tons of special interests to fund the government for a couple of weeks or months
* lack of increased members of the House, causing power concentrating in a handful of Representatives.
* abandoning US military hardware and allies in a foreign country to fend for themselves at the cost of human lives and billions of dollars
* weaponized audits by the IRS and political decisions to investigate by the FBI.

Yeah, the government deserves to be blindly trusted.
> Either it is acceptable to question the results of an election or it is not.

> the [Russian interference in 2016] has been confirmed by multiple investigations, including one by the bi-partisan Senate Intelligence Committee

It's one thing to question the results, that is always OK. It's quite another to outright reject the factual answers that follow, when there is no credible evidence that Trump's 2nd loss of the popular vote was due to voter fraud.
I think that is my point though. The mayor just putting out a list of reforms they want doesn't actually mean they are good reforms. Particularly when the proposition follows a public incident.

The mayor is a politician that often seeks cheap PR (like many or most politicians) and will say things that are absurd but sound good. A lot of things sound good until you iron out the details, as the "defund the police" movement found out.

I do not know the specifics of what you talk about regarding proposed reforms, but I would be shocked if the mayor of Chicago sat down with police captains and chiefs and worked together to propose and implement solid reforms. If they had, they would by definition have police backing for the reforms. The opposite is what almost certainly happened...

Think about it - what if your local mayor starting yammering on about how your industry does their job wrong and here's how it's going to get fixed - all without including anyone from your industry for input. I think the reaction would be quite similar...

I promise you the folks working at your police department do not wake up in the morning eager to harm their community.
I mean nobody is expected to investigate their own group. That is why things like judges/courts, prosecutors, civil/town/city observation groups and federal agencies are there.

The problem arises when you have cases like:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/lawsuit-claims-loveland... (series of false DUI arrest to bring in cash) and the whole police department is not raided on the spot.

Courts just drop cases because: a) qualified immunity and b) an "allergy" to having the D.A. and other agencies step in and do the investigation.

P.S. Hold your D.A. accountable in your area when you hear things like that. It is more important in the long run to have a few less street criminals behind bars and more corrupt "apples" in.

Supply side economics has taken more people out of poverty than any kind of ISI or other internally focused development programmes.

> A twenty-second delay for recording a forty-second clip is a pretty bad efficiency ratio.

What a weird way of thinking, I wouldn't hire anyone who says something like this. 20 seconds to load up or do just about anything on a computer is bad, regardless of some round about reasoning of ratios. I find these days there is something wrong with most developers' brains. Like we need to start a new parallel software industry and make sure no unreasonable people can be part of it.

I'm in a Seattle suburb and we had a two-day blackout a few years back. Cell reception worked fine for 12 hours but then went to 1 bar. Presumably the closest cell site ran out of gas on the backup generator and my phone switched to a site outside the blackout zone.

What is wild was that this was entirely localized! A single substation affecting maybe 20,000 people. How many cell sites were affected, a dozen? And still T-Mobile couldn't manage refueling. In a country-wide crisis we would be totally boned.

This also describes the behaviour of common game providers. The difference is: you can switch to a different server if you are annoyed by this, but cannot get rid of the game provider/publisher.

This could in principle be implemented.
Is there any need to have so many dependencies in the first place? Seems like slovenly development practices are to blame.

The worst part about all these node modules is the little small silly ones that do something really inane - like to just get the current year.

I said the same thing about some ruby gems years ago and thankfully that’s a little bit sane now.

I don’t use JS that often. But recently I looked at the dependencies for some library I was using and I was astonished at the literally hundreds of tiny modules that were being used.

And it gets even worse - those tiny little modules have their dependencies too.

Amazing.
Can confirm, unless it's changed radically since I last looked at it, yes, everydamnthing in React ends up as an object representing a component, and I don't just mean in the way that JS functions are technically also objects.

I agree that the neovim community is great and neovim is of course very hackable, although there's always room to improve: an API for terminal UI would help a lot when writing neovim plugins and make everything feel more consistent, for example.

> I don’t know what process you took, but properly learning the tool from the ground up and minimally adding useful plugins as you go should not take much time at all.

I built a neovim config from scratch, used built-in docs, community support, and well-known extensions when needed. I wrote small Lua plugins when I couldn't find extensions or workflows that worked for me. And I had fun doing it!

I got something good in a weekend, something very decent in a week or two, but still had a lot of gaps between what I had and what I wanted (session save, restore and quick switching; a Magit-like staging and forge management UI for GitHub CLI -driven PR management; invoking and managing long-running terminal processes from the editor; find/replace in large numbers of files across big projects with something more intuitive than a quickfix list; linting with something lighter-weight and easier to configure alongside LSP servers than ale; quicklists for LSP issues; a simple test runner with quicklist for errors; I can go on…).

After trying out extensions for some of those things but finding nothing that fit the bill, I played with Emacs and had a pretty similar experience there (weeks of work just to reach parity with VSC+a few extensions). I concluded I was wasting my time — it was pretty clear I was after an IDE more than a text editor at this point. VS Code seemed a nice in-between option. There are things I miss from vim/Emacs (speed, keyboard-driven workflow, getting to enjoy and celebrate editors with a community of likeminded weirdos), which is why I tend to get sucked in by these update announcements and discussions. But for the most part VSC is fine.
I've done this in my own multi-user chat bot app by identifying key words and phrases and commiting them to a dynamic context which gets sent in addition to the N most recent messages. This has seemed to help dramatically.

Sounds like the Wordle acquisition was a huge success for them. Some see it as a weekend engineering project, but the design was great.

> I'll just say that not everybody has to live in SF, Seattle, Austin, or whatever the next desirable place is.

That's easy to say, but prior to the pandemic and the sudden shift to WFH, the trend was flying in the face of this droll advice. Tech hubs are consolidating. But since then, we've seen transplants buy up housing in other markets and simply spread the same issues of traffic and housing prices there too, as we've seen in markets like Phoenix, Boise, Salt Lake City, (though admittedly some of these are starting to fall). Take people out of Austin and they just end up flooding Nashville, or Raleigh, or Charlotte. New Yorkers are resettling in Philadelphia. Peter Thiel says Florida real estate prices are comparable to California now. And so on.

Aren't governments subsidizing nuclear power plants a whole lot more than anything else?

I heard without government subsidies, nuclear power plants would simply not be buildable. No insurance company would insure them. The cost in case of a nuclear fallout is just too high.
