I think the primary idea is that eventually we'll still need carbon source inputs for making certain things (fertilizer for one, most types of rocket fuel for another) and so this is an alternative to that. If we're not getting hydrocarbons from fossil fuels, we need to get it from somewhere else for the petrochemical industry.

It's also a nice thing to do when the spot price of energy goes negative or extremely low when there's tons of surplus renewable energy.

I also heard one example assuming a future with nuclear fusion being cheap and you put a nuclear fusion plant at larger airports to produce jet fuel on-site.
I agree. Lots of discussion related to proposing that here:

> There’s something about having to pour over paper bibliographies to identify first editions by spelling mistakes and print errors that really separates the wheat from the chaff.

It truly is fun. In my case, it's trolling through old biographies of a minority language, hunting down authors names and then the names of their books. But it's great fun as often there's never been a complete list of these works compiled, so I'm sorta now the go-to person for a specific dialect region with regards to books by authors of the region.

My particular specialty is pre-Standard books written by authors from Conamara, in Ireland. I'm at the point where I have most of the first editions I know about from before the standard, with only three, at most (I need to get to a library to compare editions of one, as I think I have the school edition but am not sure if the school was the first edition published), eluding me. Then I'll branch out into other, similar dialectal regions.

It's so fun hitting up used bookshops for books in another language, and types of books like that. I'm kinda looking forward to expanding my dialectal region as it'll allow me to basically start the hunt all over again.
Unfortunately, consumers are price sensitive beings even if it doesn’t make sense. We prefer cheaper upfront costs even if it costs more in the long term. For example, a decent toner printer can cost $300 plus $75/cartridge later on. But the $50 printer works “just as well” and has “only” $50 cartridges, so it’s “cheaper” (ignoring pages/cartridge). This leads to a big race-to-the-bottom (like airline seat prices[a]) that makes margins razor-thin. As such, the manufacturers price gouge you on the ink.

[a]: Everyone complains about airline seat spacing, but nothing short of regulation will fix it because the margins are too thin to not pack everyone like sardines. If you have more leg room on your planes, you make less per flight, and that could put you in the negative.
This is true for most email addresses as well. If you use a domain name for your email that is owned by another company, then you you can be locked out of your email (and any downstream accounts).

Gives you time to arrange a time to come in for inspection. Pretty typical for commercial auctions I think. This one is a little more interesting than most. Commercial kitchen gear is maybe the most common thing I see, but usually someone would have taken home stuff like the bird or the at planter, anything fun or with branding usually doesn’t make it to the auction.

Just not a good writer.

But he was an even better business guy, and at least at that time smart enough to turn Empire over to Kirshner and Kasdan.

> Bizarre how the EU is penalizing everyone in order to 'make it harder for criminals to launder dirty money'.

It doesn't affect anyone. No one in Europe uses cash for anything more expensive than maybe 200 euros. Of course in some countries like Sweden and the Netherlands no one uses cash any more at all, and almost all ATM machines have been removed. I believe cash-only places are now outlawed. The reason for this is because of the small stores run by immigrants that does you-never-know-what with the money you give them.

> People pay taxes in order to have their bureaucrats serve them by creating a safe financial and social environment

Safe in this case means eliminating those shady cash-only stores. Here in Europe the cash-only stores (nowadays outlawed) were mostly run by immigrants. We're talking pizzerias, barber shops, fast food trucks, corner cafes. Places where a lot of cash is laundered.

God riddance to those places.
As part of agreeing you have to connect the printer to the internet and create an account.
And 99% of the time people do that is because they’re moving banks and they leave with a cashiers check instead of cash.

This might have been true in the past, but it isn't true anymore, especially not under new gTLDs. Nobody goes around typing in <word>.<tld> domains out of curiosity anymore, and advertisers don't pay anywhere near as much as they used to for impressions on domain parking pages. The vast majority of premium domain pricing is driven by pure greed.
They are, and in this age of paperless everything, less and less useful to the average consumer. Anyone who still does a lot of printing is going to go with something that can better handle the volume, like a laser printer.

I hit a few bugs on older Safari (like, macOS 10.14) that I had to work around but otherwise it’s been pretty good.

Linux should be technically possible, but it’s a combination of the two that’s made it a lower priority so far. I’m a bit worried about the potential support burden, given how widely systems vary. But it’s on my list of things to look into, at least to try getting it running.
Also, the technology is pretty hairy, lots of patents (enforceable ones, too), and a very demanding customer base.

I used to work for a company that made a very nice, but expensive, dye-sub printer.

They decided not to continue the line, which disappointed a lot of folks, as the printers actually had some of the best tech, in them, but it wasn't worth it.

I agree with everything you said up to the part about fresh and deno, where it looks like you’re falling in the same trap of those wanting to use react. You don’t even notice it but this is the problem. Always thinking the next shiny tool will solve the problems.

Rails, Lararavel and similar frameworks are great for crud apps. No need for fresh or demo or svelte or next.js for that.
Timescale is built around a concept they call "hypertables", which automatically partition data into a set of smaller tables segmented by time range. Timescale exposes the time-series data as if it was a single table, but behind the scenes is managing queries against the individual table partitions and automatically creating new partitions as data is inserted.

By tuning the chunk sizes so their data fits in memory, many common queries gain a lot of efficiency. It's built around some assumptions of time-series data: Most inserts and queries are for recent data and are generally ordered.

I've had great experience with TimescaleDB for small-medium time-series loads such as sensor or analytics data; I've found it's pretty plug-and-play and have used it to store tables with ~1B time-series rows of geospatial data, sensor values, etc.
> We don’t even have a true right to free speech. That puts us behind the U.S., because I struggle to think of a “civil right” that we have but Americans don’t.

> And before you pull “healthcare”, first of all, it’s got nothing to do with the EU, and secondly, in most EU countries the state-funded healthcare is so abysmal that everyone who can afford it still takes out private insurance.

So free speech is an EU matter but healthcare is a local one? No, both are decided locally with limited EU oversight - e.g. the EU is trying to punish Poland and Hungary's free speech limitations.

> We don’t even have a true right to free speech

Specifically this is a no true Scotsman fallacy. Legislation prohibiting antisemitic speech doesn't make free speech not "truly free", it just makes it not absolute, which is IMO necessary for a civilised developed society, as long as there are controls to ensure it's not abused.

> Like GDPR, which is a legislation so fantastic that for most businesses it’s physically impossible to truly comply with it?

Why do you think that? The majority of business comply with it.

In terms of civil rights we have more than Americans - abortions (in most places, not an EU but local thing), the right not to get murdered by poor policing or overarmed population, consumer protections such as mandatory minimum warranties and return periods. Also there are much better employee and tenant protections.

Also a much better political and judicial system - first past the post? Politically appointed judges?

All in all, the EU is a marvelous thing that has enabled peace and prosperity across a continent, and has done far more good than bad - universal phone chargers, consumer protections at every level (flight delays, warranties, data), the new forced interoperability between gatekeepers, the euro and SEPA, the subsidies that have enabled so much development. Anyone rooting against it probably doesn't understand it all that well, or is an isolationist.

ATM limit of 1k is common.

My small local credit union keeps about 10k in each of the tellers drawers . So you should be able to easily go up to 50k cash withdrawal .

Also why not just go 10 days in a row and pull out 1k?
I've had a look at threading/piping operators in a few languages (list below). I'd say that Racket has the best one I've used. I love that you can specify a '_' for the hole which the result from the previous operation will fill. Julia's threading macro is surprisingly brittle, only letting you chain single-argument functions unless you want to use anonymous functions with one bound variable and the rest free.

Does anyone know of a library allowing the creation of graphical nodes and connections much like that software, then generating linked structures as output? For example, if I create some objects and define internal parameters, then connect inputs and outputs, it should produce structures with those parameters as elements, plus other fields representing pointers (or equivalents to) that link together the structures. Native low level languages would be better, both for speed and for easier integration in other software with an eye for very small systems or even microcontrollers.

> I don't know what you mean by "unlocking anything new". You have identical images at a smaller size.

Yes exactly, nothing new is unlocked. So why would I use this format? Was the old size of the images preventing me from enjoying them in any way? No. Of all the old JPEGs out there that absolutely must be losslessly transcoded from the already lossy JPEG encoding, how many are prohibitively large? You can still look at both a JPEG and JPEG XL image locally. Most likely you'd be able to serve both images over HTTP, although the JPEG image may take a bit longer to load. And how many cases require the new and old images be exactly the same? My point is that, if the main selling point of your codec is that you can create the same thing as 30 years ago only smaller, then it's going to be a hard sell compared to other formats out there. If the choice was between JPEG and JPEG XL, then sure, let's use JPEG XL. But the choice is between JPEG XL and other formats with better features.

Other image formats like AVIF add new features that enhance images. Yes, the images are smaller, but also way more powerful. Image sequences, for instance, enable new features like "live images." Converting your old JPEG to a smaller JPEG isn't going to magically enable live images.

tldr: I'm looking for a reason to care that I can losslessly re-transcode my old JPEGs. Ok, the re-transcoded images are smaller and exactly the same as before, but what is a real world reason why I would need that vs. using the old JPEG directly or re-transcoding it to AVIF?

I'd still argue that React is very much the default for new applications where legacy interop or existing team familiarity isn't a factor.

In the US, you could easily argue that you were unaware of the EULA and want your money back.

If the company refuses, then they are pretty clearly violating contract law. ("By the way, if you read this far, you owe me $10" is not a legimate contract, because you are forced to agree.) If that is the case, then it would be completely reasonable for the courts to render the entire EULA invalid, and fall back on first sale doctrine (no restrictions on the copy of the software you bought, etc, etc.)

I know, I know, it is convenient to not to take responsibility and just complain, but that would be so frustrating for me that I couldn't take it. And, yes, in my experience I saw many times where people who are not experts say how something should be done, for example they say "refactor is not needed" or "tests are too expensive". In that case I ask them one simple question: "how many contributions to the codebase you made last month?" The answer is usually silence. If they still oppose I just quit the job and watch the project fail from my colleagues' reports.
Simple as that.

while they are indeed rated for 20–25 years, as you know, in silicon panels most of the degradation happens in the first couple of years; additional degradation in the following 30–25 years is measurable but fairly minimal

as i understand it, panels are rated for 20 years not because they need to be replaced then but because 30 years ago nobody knew what would happen over that time, and also manufacturers didn't want to set themselves up for unlimited liability

usually it's more advantageous to add more panels than to replace the existing ones at that point, though rooftop installations are often an exception due to the extreme space limitations

i think if you sold a perovskite hybrid panel that cost half as much per watt as existing silicon panels, but degraded down to 70% of its rated capacity at 10 years and rapidly down to 50% after that, i think it would still sell in a lot of markets

Do you consider Pandas a "data science" stack? To me, it's just a library like any other that makes it easy to work with tabular data. Even for CSV, there is csvreader (usually not a good idea to deal with CSV by hand). Outputting to CSV is literally a one liner in Pandas or DuckDB.
