The thing is, a large scale fuel burn plant can do a lot better exhaust filtering for the stuff that is not CO2. The exhaust treatment stacks of a power/heat plant are insanely complex... you have particulate scrubbers that filter out soot and other particulate matter, sulphur scrubbers, NOx catalytic converters, after-burn stages for carbon monoxide, activated charcoal filters for organic residues. Unfortunately the Wikipedia article is only available in German but it gives a pretty good rundown (https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rauchgasreinigung).

Your average small-scale boiler has nothing of that.
Can you expand on that? I'm genuinely curious about the stats.

I've been wondering for a while if these successful developers who use Patreon had hosted their own payment page with Stripe would they have received same success?

Does 'Support me on Patreon' add more legibility than 'Support me on my x website' to a potential donor?

Because, Its trivial for a developer to integrate Stripe or any other PG on their website & they can stop paying double commissions on Patreon; Besides no vendor lock-in, censorship or payment delays.

This change would potentially lead to ARM licensees switching from integrated SoC models to more conventional split architecture designs where the CPU, GPU, and other significant processors are split into separate dies to maintain flexibility.

The main problem with this is going to be on mobile phones, where board space is at a steep premium. Other form factors that typically have multiple processors will probably be fine, though.

Honest question - have you ever worked on a codebase with 0 bugs? I don't think that's feasibly. What you're asking for is an infallible god-like programmer.

You will always have bugs. The best engineers can solve the hardest bugs
The hardest bugs to find are often the ones that can be fixed with a one line change. If you figure out a bug quickly, then you are usually in trouble and have to refactor your codebase to resolve it or introduce an awful hack to fix it.
> Tesla has created more shareholder value over the past few years

Given the PE, seems to me the shareholders have created the shareholder value.
The trend in district heating systems is towards lower temperatures. Lower temperatures means that more of the waste heat in the power plant can be extracted, lower heat losses in the piping, and also if using heat pumps then lower temperatures can give a big efficiency boost. But yes, the downside is higher massflow, but this is certainly an optimization problem that engineers have calculated the optimal point for, given the available technology.

Steam heating is an ingenious invention, but it was also made in a world where pumps, the electricity to run them, PID controllers and whatnot, were expensive. That's why you tend to find it in the oldest district heating grids around.
Hate them. Just give me a damn paper menu.

SX 300 & soon SX 500. Kind of a modern version of Inconel superalloys

Inconel is known in the US as it was invented there in the 1930s - well before Musk was born. They might be called superalloys, but there is nothing particularly sophisticated about them from a scientific perspective. SX300 / SX500 are minor revisions which take some R&D but technologically it is 1930's stuff.
Some companies might be in the position to make that choice, but I'd guess most aren't really equipped for it. First of all there's the issue of getting your changes upstream, you have to convince the community it's worth their time to help maintain your code, plus a quality bar you have to meet. And then once it's upstream you're committed to drinking from the firehose, instead of updating at your own pace, and there's extra scrutiny on every change you make.

I really think most of these proprietary users are just figuring things out as they go, and doing that upstream 1. wouldn't be accepted, and 2. wouldn't make sense for them in the first place. But I'll admit that's speculation, I don't have intimate knowledge of what everyone's doing :)

Mel's Hack – The Missing Bits
New article on Mel's Loop project – an analysis of Mel Kaye's hack for his blackjack game for the RPC-4000 computer.

"This approach to coding is far from extinct. One often finds it in software teams, among some highly regarded – though less valued – members. If you've spent several years in the industry or in Computer Science academia, you surely know this subspecies: the developer that replaces a straightforward loop with a series of auto-resolving promises, capped by a cryptic reducer, then revels in their teammates' bewilderment at the sight of the new code. Hardly the personality that you'd select for a coding legend."

I wouldn't say Scotland's climate is representative. European countries can have vastly different local weather conditions and just because there's so much rain in the north western part (Great Britain, Netherlands, ...) it's mostly because of their more oceanic climate, which isn't comparable to e.g. central europe (Germany, Austria, ...).
Yeah maybe it’s a cultural thing because having to justify your value as employee is pretty normal where I work, across all industries

Ask HN: How do you monitor your sideprojects?
As the title says: How do you monitor your sideprojects? Not only the financial part, but also technical stuff like online/offline monitoring, service monitoring etc.

Thai customs officers confiscated a package that contained two cell phones and some miscellaneous stuff sent from the US. Reason: package contained lipstick not approved for sale in Thailand (actually sold there, but expensive). Value around $1,000 (the phones, not the lipstick -- they kept it all).

A Cambodian immigration officer held my passport and asked for a "tip." I refused, he eventually returned my passport because too many witnesses saw what he tried to do.

But enough small potatoes. I lost my job, house, and retirement savings in 2008 thanks to crooks on Wall Street, some of whom went to work for the government, which has taken about 30% of my income every year I've worked, under threat of jail. My medical insurance company charges crazy high premiums for high-deductible coverage that few doctors or clinics accept, and then challenges even routine claims. The petty corruption in Thailand and Cambodia seems quaint by comparison.

And the things that Amazon is criticized for, like treatment of its employees, are not unique to Amazon itself, but standard in the industries that they operate in. It's just that journalists don't report on it when other less successful companies do it. The case against Amazon, and other billionaires, is driven by envy much more than anything else.

I lived in China and I thought it sucked there too. I always found it an epic cop-out by the restaurants and cafés who refused to answer questions about their dishes or allow a simple additional request like adding more spicy. Invariably the restaurants with QR code menus were also the ones that featured pretentiously-named menu items so you had very little idea what it was going to be until after you ordered it. Fortunately while I lived in China (up through the early months of COVID) the vast majority of small restaurants still kept their classic red-and-yellow menu board that literally just says in the name of the dish exactly what you are going to get. And it was no problem to ask a question to clarify an ingredient or ask for something special.

What I don't understand is if you're just going to order off an app, what's the point of even going to the restaurant in the first place? That no-human-contact experience already exists in delivery apps, so why bother leaving your home or office if when you go out you just end up with the exact same experience? It's not like most of these restaurants are snazzy KTVs or tea houses where you get a private room and bottle service, they're just bog-standard food court style restaurants with hard chairs and dirty floors. You could just as easily order online and eat the food on a park bench. To me the whole thing just came across as inconvenient at best and actively destructive of local communities and their social restaurant culture at worst.

I mentioned this in another reply, but it bears repeating. Our current PI planning is 2 weeks not counting the half day before in Pre-Planning for PI Planning.

I sincerely wish that was a joke. It's a 4 hour team wide meeting to review all work items are ready to be planned during PI planning, as well for us to identify dependencies and schedule meetings with those dependencies. There isn't enough time to to that during the actual planning.

why do you think that explaining something is ridiculous? i have been to meetings multiple times with representatives of other departmens and openly asked them to explain to me things that i didnt knew and needed to get understanding to implement some functionality. why its ridiculous when its other way arround and someone asks to explain what and why is this code doing? again, it looks like ypure taking it personally.
Possibly, but I didn’t see anything in the parent post that suggests that’s the intended takeaway. In any case it also implies expanding trade, in order to have the drawdown of trade as a credible tool. However, sanctions, extra tariffs, and other trade-based punishments appear to have had little effect in positively influencing the behaviour of despotic regimes largely because of how hard despotic regimes work to prepare for their eventuality.

That’s not to say they shouldn’t be used or that trade should be stopped. Only that trade in and of itself is not the moderating influence it was believed to be, and that despotic governments are not strongly deterred by refusals to trade.

This is partially because those regimes put in a large amount of effort and money into ensuring that they’re as insulated as possible from slow downs in any trade area that western countries can easily refuse trade, while working to increase interdependence in areas where they have the advantage.

For instance, there’s a reason Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 has such a huge defence industry component and why it focused first on being able to manufacture its own ammunition, bombs, missiles, etc (all the things easiest to cut off) and then on developing the skills to modify existing systems and substitute other components or elements if needed. The goal is to ensure the US (or another partner) can’t influence the kingdom by refusing to deliver bombs for a while. Much of the Middle East is moving in the same direction.

The alternative is to pay on the way out. Requires a single terminal at the exit (or just anywhere, s.g. at the bar). It works perfectly fine. Cafes and restaurants across Europe do this more or less as the standard, the more fancy ones bring the terminal to the table.
> A lot of our modern use of energy is inefficient-by-design: the system is designed to 'use as much energy as possible'.

Obviously not. Systems are generally designed for lowest total cost of ownership. If fuel is cheap and capital expensive, it can make sense to 'waste energy', counterintuitive as that may sound, if that enables lower capital costs.

Of course, what goes into the TCO is also a question of debate. Including externalities like pollution and climate change, and suddenly the optimal point might shift considerably.

> Why don't we have more cogeneration systems, where the waste heat is used instead of released?

Because cogeneration systems, or rather the district heating networks, are capital and maintenance intensive and make sense only in relatively densely built areas with significant heating demands. Where they make sense they are awesome, though.

Big +1 for Subaru, but some of their newer cars are starting to fall victim to these gimmicks now. But they generally give you some of the tech features without getting in your way.

Eg. you get CarPlay, but also physical climate controls and volume knobs. Automatic cruise control & lane centering, but you can disable certain parts of it that you don’t like.

And the Outbacks are some of the safest cars out there in terms of “deaths per million miles” statistics according to the IIHS [0], probably due to their over-engineered frames and engine-dropping crumple zones

In 1930, laws were proposed in Massachusetts and St. Louis to ban radios while driving. According to automotive historian Michael Lamm, “Opponents of car radios argued that they distracted drivers and caused accidents, that tuning them took a driver’s attention away from the road, and that music could lull a driver to sleep.”

In every field there are ways that things are done. To review a fleet of airplanes I assume “the way it is done” would be based on trawling through inspection reports, not looking at the actual planes. Elon Musk has a complete disregard for “the way it is done” to the point of not even trying to do things that way as a sane default to iterate from, and that makes him the sort of person who would line up the airplanes on the tarmac instead of going through inspection reports. That attitude is why people who are deep into conventional wisdom dismiss him as an idiot.

That attitude is also why both his successes and his failures are spectacular. When you deviate from the beaten path and run as fast as you can in that new direction sometimes you reach a far better vantage point and sometimes you just get totally lost in the jungle. With Elon you never know which way things will go.
