Not enough attention is being paid to Japan's contrarian "red hydrogen" strategy.

This entails using a novel helium cooled fission reactor to generate very hot (950C, 1750F) process heat that is then fed into an Sulphur-Iodine cycle hydrogen plant to create very cheap hydrogen without any feedstock but air and water.

Beyond fuel, hydrogen can be used to replace coal in iron smelting, Haber-Bosch fertilizer, and other chemical processes that require hydrogen made today via fossil fuels.

They already have a 30MW pilot reactor in operation, and are just about to turn on the S-I hydrogen plant. Could be a very interesting addition to global energy mix.

The answer is that they almost certainly are securities, but the precedent isn't established.

White collar prosecution is expensive and complex, and prosecutors care about their careers. They want certain wins, preferably fast.

So the SEC are waiting for slam dunk cases to establish precedent.

In practice this means they wait for something large and obvious to implode, and prosecute months/years after the fact.
What I've seen is where he is replying to these insubordinate tweets. I don't see him instigating it --still I admit, it's better not to engage instigators at the same base level.
Good.

Maybe the people who didn't bail on their communities during covid can finally afford a home.
My wife is a Montessori teacher and I'll warn you to watch out for schools that are Montessori in name only. I know, I know ... as if it wasn't hard enough already.
But you can still withdraw that for stacks of 100s if you so please. And these dollars cannot be tracked by large corporations hungry for any bit of data about you.
Doesn't excuse RWD and FWD cars not having one.

Probably just weight/cost
It sounds like your bazel packages might be too large then.

Bazel (and bazel watcher) really shines when you have lots of small packages.
The National Endowment for Democracy does everything to subvert every country if they are not subservient to US interests.
Agreed one hundred percent. Why extremely biased rant from specific DE subreddit (also biased) gets so many upvotes? Who cares?

My additions:

* Poor to non-existing window tiling (at least Rectangle has very good defaults and works well)

There are apps for that, like writer mentioned - so what's the problem? I'd argue that using Expose, Mission Control, Multiple desktops and controlling them with touchpad swipes is faster, more convenient, more intuitive and flexible than tilling window management, but it's personal biased opinion, just like the writer's.

* Missing native Alt+Tab and individual window switching (only does app switching)

I either don't understand the problem or what's wrong with `cmd-tab` for app switching and `cmd-~` for app window switching.

* Finder keyboard shortcuts not shown in context menu (makes them far less discoverable)

Most, if not all, apps have their keyboard shortcuts shown in the menu bar next to menu bar items.

* Lack of native clipboard

To be fair - I am intrigued what does writer mean with `native clipboard`? Some sort of built-in app for clipboard management?

* Finder's weird shortcuts for rename vs open file (no way to open a file with keyboard?)

`cmd-o` to open, `enter/return` to rename, `space` to quick look. Just because OP is not used to different shortcuts - does not mean it's weird. Also many shortcuts are very consistent throughout whole system and throughout different apps.

After writing all this - I feel like I fell for the troll [0], but will leave my opinions as it may help for other Macos beginners. IMHO it's just a thing of muscle memory and learned workflows.

[0] I think it's trolling, because clearly he/she haven't read anything about Macos, because there are plenty of sources (even official ones) for first time Macos users. Something like hiding menu bar and/or dock are the most easiest things that you can do while skimming through `System preferences` on your own. Original writer seemingly opened Macbook for a first time, it didn't work same as KDE so he/she decided to rant about it on reddit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You're right: it was the next line after Nexus, Pixel, that I had. I edited my original comment.
I was in Montessori through kindergarten. I do remember feeling a bit disadvantaged socially when I entered 1st grade in a conventional school.

Most of the other students had done kindergarten at my new school and already knew each other. I did eventually make friends, but I always felt like a bit of an outsider since I didn't have that shared kindergarten experience with my peers.

I imagine this would only get worse the longer a child stays out of the conventional schooling system.
Love that mantra!
Dont really agree, it’s not intended for that.

I use it as I would run tests through a terminal normally.
Built this because I hate running tests.

I noticed Grammarly just entered the AI summarization space for email. https://www.grammarly.com/recap. I haven't tested it yet, but saw the Gmail banner last week.
Still, back on the Slackware 2.0 days there were plenty of TUI applications.

Why do companies pay for people to work "only" five days each week? Or "only" 40 hours? Why not seven days, and 84 hours each week? Surely there are people willing to work those hours for even less than companies are paying now, eliminating the deadweight loss.

Once you have the answer to that question, the answer to your question seems very straightforward.
"Curses! Foiled again by my own insubordinates"
That comes from a person named Michael Liebreich who is a British conservative politician that also founded Bloomberg's New Energy Finance. I listen to his podcast where he interviews people in the industry. He also has a nuclear physics background. In other word, he knows a thing or two about both the science and economics in this space; very well informed person.

He's been very critical of the mindless arguing for a hydrogen economy making the point that there are a few very fundamental issues with hydrogen in terms of cost and physics (e.g. second law of thermo dynamics) that you can't just wave away that people tend to gloss over.

Not that he's against hydrogen per se. It's just that burning it is a pretty dumb idea from a cost and efficiency point of view.
Montessori from age 6 to 15.

- Self paced learning and choosing how to spend your time

- Need to collaborate with your peers on scarce resources (everyone can't read the same book / solve the same challenge at the same time)

- Small classes, no one could get away with anything/bullying

- Responsibility for completing the weekly plan yourself and being rewarded for hard work ("the diligence light is well lit" sticker you got when sharing your weekly progress - sry poorly translated Swedish"
So many people seem to leap into this "billionaires are bad" rhetoric when EA is mentioned. I mean, fine, but it's not really an answer to what I said. I think it's maybe an example of the "Gordian Knot" mentioned upthread. I'm not asking whether billionaires are bad or not, I'm asking why so many people would prefer that billionaires keep their money, rather than the money being used to save lives.

Can you make the case for me that eg. 250k preventable deaths is a better outcome than accepting a billion dollar donation from a very rich person?
They probably need a wildcard in their routing to open a webview for stuff like this they can’t handle in the app. But yes universal links are tough to get right. Easy initial implementation and then surprise bugs forevermore :)
you can also talk with people who've worked there and are still there/left. Basically, you don't spend long at SpaceX if you find mudane things like a good WLB or enjoy being burnt out.

The disagreement here is Twitter is a shitshow under his leadership, and your words come across as you finding that interesting and place where you would like to be.
Would make more sense to compare within manufacturer.
Elon is one of those guys who is incidentally doing good for the human race but i suspect the motive is mostly for personal glory.
One of the things that I find weird about this whole situation is that (from my point of view) the vast majority of the Twitter employees seem to be of the opinion that "We had a pretty good thing going on here for the last 5-6 years, Musk came in and is going to ruin everything".

I think that Twitter employees need to realise that from the point of view of Musk (and public markets up to this year) Twitter is/was/ (will be)? an absolute disaster. Their culture of fearless criticism doesn't seem to have made them a great stock to own, that's for sure.
This is a great idea! Even better: write a Playwright/Codegen[1] test and have that execute continuously (or put a button in the IDE to trigger it). That way you can iterate on multiple code files but see how it impacts one end-to-end test in real time! (I'm developing a feature right now where I'm doing that manually and it would be nice to automate)

[1] https://playwright.dev/docs/codegen-intro
This tool doesn't run all the tests, only the ones affected by the code changes since the last run. It figures out which tests to run by initially running all tests, and storing the code coverage of each test.

It doesn't need to rely on "test change likelihood" - if a code change is outside of the code coverage of the test, it doesn't affect the test.
Honestly even the examples on the promotional page are quite bad.

I’m a big believer in AI as an accelerant for working, especially after playing with Stable Diffusion. But these examples are like almost wasting my time not making me work faster.
Verlet Integration (Game Physics)
At this point in my life as a family man who just wants a predictable 40-hour per week job and isn't looking for any workplace excitement, I certainly wouldn't want to work directly for him, as something like a VP. But since I've never worked in a Big Tech company, I'll ask, do lower-level employees at places like Tesla or SpaceX (setting Twitter aside for the moment) really feel much of the impact of his shenanigans? As someone who works in the DoD, even as a mid-career officer, there are a lot of bureaucratic layers in between me and, say, the President or Secretary of Defense which buffer my day-to-day experience from their whims. Is it not similar in a big company?
evernote was one of the programs that trapped me,

Coreference resolution is something all of us do instinctively many times every day even though most of us haven’t heard the term before. People use language to talk about entities, events and the relationships between them. When we mention the same thing multiple times throughout a discourse we tend to use different expressions.
I believe ASP.NET is vastly better than most other web application frameworks and relatively simple to use.

Also, I love the built in Outputcache support, which is absolutely critical in reducing latency and load on a web server.

SQL Error [42601]: ERROR: syntax error at or near "≠"
It takes a while to stack rank people out of the company. It's not an efficient pipeline. Moreover, smart engineers know how to game the system.

So Amazon, like every other FAANG, is very bloated. I've yet to experience any sort of major layoff in the industry at large. They seem mostly isolated to these mega-corps that got PPP money, hired way too much, and are now trimming back the fat. It is sort of icing the fungibility of jobs for now but not in a way that I am at all worried about.
Hard to argue with postponing the problem for 1000 years. Even if any of the existing technical standards and solutions are still in use then, which is doubtful, they'll have plenty of time to decide whether to implement the leap hour or not.
1. Some exchanges are irresponsible and fail. Some exchanges are not irresponsible and do not fail. If you do a minimum of due diligence, it's not hard to tell the responsible from the irresponsible. Do they regularly publish independently-verifiable audits? Or are they spending boatloads money on stadium sponsorships?

2. If you're using an exchange for exchanging currencies (as opposed to speculation) you can send your money there, exchange it, and immediately send it back out. You're only exposed for at most an hour or two. If you've chosen a well-reputed exchange that's been around for 10+ years, chances are effectively nil that it suddenly disappears during that small window with no warning signs beforehand.
probably not, because the loan still costs the same
Trying to unwrap this headline, and still struggling.
I know that the Twitterpolaypse is a separate discussion, but I think it directly impacts Tesla EV's as well.

If Tesla goes bankrupt, your cars will *NOT* work, given how tightly they are integrated with servers at Tesla.

When Musk was forced to buy Twitter, he used significant leverage from SpaceX and Tesla to do so. And from his actions as of recent, he's opening significant legal liability to him and the company, and appearing that he's operating a scorched earth model to "punish" that fact he was forced to buy Twitter.

If the Twitter situation does come to a head vs Eli Lilly and all the other companies that substantially lost billions in blue-checkmark manipulation and the FTC consent decree - I can see an eventuality that Tesla is also substantially harmed.. Leading to vehicles that no longer work.
Indeed, this is the goal of rising rates: asset repricing downward. Some people will stay put because they locked in a low rate, but motivated sellers will set the comparables going forward. As long as someone sells, the market will perform price discovery.
So paid commercial apps like Better Touch Tool that implement snapping are also infringing?

MS developed MTP but at this point it's a part of the USB standard. Many Android devices lack exFAT support but do support MTP which suggests to me it's not patent encumbered. Google has an app for Mac OS too, so no it's not just OSS once again. It's more like Apple deliberately knee-capping non-iPhones to steer users towards iPhones.

Windows 11 includes a package manager, winget.
I do miss the old Evernote. Many of the 'enhancements' over the last few years just get in the way of the main benifit of the tool.
Of course not, but in the mind of the consumer, who is financing the whole industry, some problems are problems, and some problems are annoyances
It isn't. But tools like these make actual spam, and pseudo-spam (e.g. SEO content) easier and quicker to produce.
this sounds good for pure concurrent processes. but synchronization will be harder to represent using vertical bars.
Yeah, on one side we are trying to preach modern practices how to program in C++, and then we get these schools teaching pre-standard C++ for a dead OS.
I think if you look at no-code tools like Zapier, they do a great job empowering business users with most simple use cases like moving data from one app (ie facebook ads) to another (ie google sheets). But if you want to build a really advanced use case, like Amazon's support routing, for example, then Zapier will be able to get you 50% of the way there very quickly, but the remaining 50% basically becomes impossible.

We built Workflows for developers and see it as an alternative to writing cron jobs from scratch. While you can definitely write some code in Zapier, Workflows focuses on putting SQL and JS front and center when you need it, GUI when you don't.

If you give Workflows a try, I'd love to hear your feedback (jamie@retool.com)
This is great and really close to what I use myself:

while [ 1 ]; do inotifywait .{c,h} t/.{c,h}; make && make check ; done
Here's another group saying much the same thing in a different way:

https://h2sciencecoalition.com/principles/
1. No, if build fails hypertest will just discard the result. autosave is even prefered.

2. The first run and every subsequent one collects code coverage which is saved in an sqlite db. Every file change is compared to the code coverage.

Although this approach isnt perfect, The idea here is being fast. I always rerun the entire suite just before committing the code.
Amazon doubled their base cap last year, so is this still true?
We haven't seen any indication that a wave of bank failures is coming. We haven't seen any failed banks in a couple of years.

Now, that could change and we could see a recurrence of the wave of bank failures that started in 2008 and slowly tapered off, but your argument for that can't just be a hand wave at "trying times" and "fractional reserve" because the numbers currently show the opposite: https://www.fdic.gov/bank/historical/bank/

Still smart to keep total accounts per type per bank under the insurance limit (currently $250,0000), and to directly verify that your accounts are actually insured using the FDIC's tool: https://closedbanks.fdic.gov/aii/
After further thought, Awesome lists miss one critical thing: there's no way to navigate from the pages in the list back to the index or to other pages in the list. That's a pretty crucial feature of webrings.

Monero has better security properties than the other coins, so one approach is the PayPal strategy: keep the bulk of your funds in Monero where the platform risk is minimal, and then trade into exchanges with smaller amounts that you’re willing to expose to custodian risk for short timeframe trades to fiat.
I've been working on building Teachify with my co-founders for a while.

We're dedicated to helping content creators and anyone who teaches online to build their own online businesses easily. This means a decentralized, less middleman approach where fans can more directly support the content and creators they love.

Many platforms act as intermediaries and take transaction fees from creators' earnings; however, more often than not, creators do not necessarily rely solely on the platform to bring in traffic; when creators themselves bring traffic to the platform, the platform still takes a cut from their revenues; in fact, creators now have many channels to connect directly with their fans, but they may not be able to get rid of the platform truly.

From a technical point of view, we must do several things.

First, the product must be multi-tenant architecture so that each user can easily create his own website.

Then the product must offer the option of a white label so that the creator can truly own the stage without having to endorse or advertise for anyone.

Most importantly, eventually, creators will need more advanced features and customization possibilities, and we must consider this, perhaps by providing an open source library of UI packages and a stable, efficient, and usable API, just as Shopify provides Shopify Plus for developers to build unique websites, Medusa.js provides headless/API-first composable commerce engine.

These ideas are our initial intention and our vision, software engineering has driven our company's development, and I'm happy to share them with all of you here on HN. Feel free to give me some feedback and advice.
This is cool. It reset about 15 minutes ago, so there are some very minimal corruptions, but they are there.

Good job!
I suspect there's some element of obedience or group belonging at play in ad consumption. Ads are so tightly-woven into the fabric of our world that any rejection of them elicits a feeling of rejection/separation/alienation from society itself.

I'd describe myself as allergic to advertisement. During ad breaks, I turn off the radio or TV. When I do that around other people, the reactions I've gotten are fascinating.

Some people seem uncomfortable like I've done something illegal. I've had people tell me I'm cheating the system or somehow stealing. Others appear genuinely hurt, like I'd just yelled at them or something. Almost universally, it's regarded as taboo, and I don't know exactly what to make of it.
Fwiw, OCaml doesn't chase extreme terseness or point-free programming. It's not really equipped for that.

OCaml is designed for straightforward code centered on functions, modules, and a mix of imperative and immutable data structures; all with a _really_ simple execution model and a pretty nice type system. The core language has very few quirks and it's easy to predict what it does, and how efficiently.

There's not really any comparison with Haskell, which emphasizes heavy optimizations to make its terseness, based on lazy evaluation, work well in practice.
Well, looks like that is about to change:

There's a draft for NTPv5 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-mlichvar-ntp-ntpv5/) which allows the use of TAI instead of UTC.
I really liked Evernote. Yearly subscription instead of the monthly Netflix like prices that ever half baked app asks for these days. Integration amongst all my devices phone, table, various desktops. All nice. And no further dependency on Microsoft, Google or Meta.

Product development stalled a long time ago though. I do hope this thing stays in the air, cause I got a lot of notes in there.
Lower home price means 20% down is feasible.

JavaScript is a bad example. We rely on so many libraries which are not functional. React one of the biggest is not functional at all.

Also JavaScript biggest advantage is that you can mix up. And it’s biggest disadvantage is that non experience developers will mix up too.

Also you need to cloning multi level objects.

To work 100% FP in JavaScript you need the libraries and you need to have a flat data structure every where.

I don’t know how many JSON APIs you see who work like that.

JavaScript has also a rich set of language features you can use to save your time and still have quality code.
What about the things Zeihan said five years ago that don't stand out as noteworthy today? His book The Accidental Superpower has an entire chapter arguing that the province of Alberta is likely to secede from Canada and join the US, which hasn't happened yet. Just because some of your predictions come true, that doesn't mean you have a crystal ball.

You'd expect python to be a stable language given its age.

At 3.12 it's still not the case.
