How much labour is involved in the upkeep/operation vs a battery bank?

I think that there are pros and cons of each, we'll end up with a mix of lots of different solutions.
Compare what happened to the creators of these games with the creators of popular titles in the USA and Japan.

Tetris is an especially interesting one; Tetris was a worldwide phenomenon, a huge hit in the US that sold a huge number of copies. The creators of Tetris saw none of the profits from their creation. Their game was seized by the state as soon as it became popular and they never really profited. Compare to similar Western or Japanese game developers who became rich and famous, started world-renowned companies, and generally had amazing careers that created an industry.

Good example of why communism sucks, in my opinion.
That doesn't do anything to prevent the DDoS problem of pingbacks/trackbacks, if anything it makes it worse because checking the third party vouch address causes an amplification attack. As with most things on the Internet spammers and assholes have ruined *back systems.

I wonder if they directly test the concurrent use?

It appears that the fix [1] of the OP bug did not lead to any addition/changes in resp. tests.

P.S. looks like Fossil still has issues with content scrolling and wrapping to screen size (mobile).
It’s not explicit error returns any more than C code with all those larger than 0 checks. You will leave it out or get angry at the line noise and will miss(handle) an important error case and will have a bad program and you won’t know about that until it’s too late.

A loud exception is way better.
Heatpumps gained in popularity here in Sweden around 20 years ago. My parents have one that's starting to get old enough to need replacing.

But I hope you realize you're citing a type of payment system being repeatedly made more convenient to support the idea of a payment system being repeatedly made less convenient. And I don't know why people would expect a security feature to never allow more.

Also is "u" standing for a specific currency, or what?
1. Use a small font. Use a font so small that you can only read it when your eyes are rested and in relaxed focus. When your eyes are tired and dry, you will have to take a break due to not seeing the code even if you strain and squint.

2. Use bitmapped fonts; avoid the fuzzy-wuzzy antialiased nonsense. (I am currently using a font called knxt by Constantine Bytensky which is almost perfect, save for the comma being too small and confusable for period). Alternatively, if you use antialiased fonts, use an 8K display. On 2K or less, bitmapped.)

My (1) recommendation comes from experimenting I did as a lad at university. I used different font sizes from very small to huge. I found that the large fonts led to fatigue. I tried to analyze why and realized that it was because the large fonts continued to be readable in spite of fatigue. I could go without blinking for minutes at a time, yet be able to read the text, and so didn't pull myself away from the terminal. When you are in "the zone", you tend to push your body's signals aside. You might delay going to the washroom in spite of a full bladder, and ignore dry, straining eyes and discomforts caused by bad posture.
> People know Windows. People understand most of Windows.

Not in my observation. They get something pre-installed, they click on things they know. I am always amazed by the fact that most don' t have the smallest mental image of how it works.
Just wanted to say that I have listened to a number of episodes and enjoyed them. I think the basic idea is a sound one and that you executed it well, I liked being able to filter episodes by topic and I sometimes used it as a resource if I was considering using a particular technology. Context for this is that I just don't listen to many podcasts of any sort so I am, perhaps, not your ideal audience member.

More generally, and not specific to runningproduction, I _strongly_ favour shorter podcasts and, although I appreciate this costs money, podcasts with a transcript.

Thanks for making runninginproduction, I appreciate you may see it as "a total failure" but fwiw that is a very long way from my perception of it.

Breeder reactors are such an overlooked technology. Only Russia and India are seriously pursuing them. The thing about breeder reactors is they can get rid of the nuclear waste problem and use 100x the energy of the input fuel vs conventional reactors. It's much more technically complicated, and the biggest ones are only 800 megawatts right now, but they could conceivably go much larger.
The arms have a large extension and seem relatively delicate.
Microsoft tried that explanation before.

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-21684329

> It introduced a Browser Choice Screen pop-up in March 2010 as part of a settlement following an earlier EU competition investigation.

> But the US company dropped the feature in a Windows 7 update in February 2011.

> Microsoft said the omission had been the result of a "technical error".

> Microsoft has been fined 561m euros ($731m; £484m) for failing to promote a range of web browsers, rather than just Internet Explorer, to users in the European Union (EU).

I would believe this explanation if that this kind of "bug" would occasionally happen in the other ways, not benefiting Microsoft.

Computer owned by my sister and unfortunately using Microsoft was hit by something similar - massive slowdowns, request to upgrade some cloud drive (leading to credit card form).

Turns out that random local files were being deleted and moved into tragically slow cloud drive, and Windows in utterly misleading way claimed that space run out and demanded money for more space.

Hard drive had over 1 800 000 GB of free space and Windows claimed that she should pay for more space.

> If you also provide a link to the filed feedback to me I’ll be happy to triage it personally as I frequently work with the teams that are responsible for update migration.

That is an intentional user-hostile behaviour, not an accident. Or at least of pattern of not really testing for bug that increase some metrics (cloud drive adoption needs to be higher? lets show misleading message that will result in it being enabled!)
In a sense, but if the worry is carbon and energy security then domestic renewables and nuclear look a lot more attractive.

Heat pumps are great and super cool but if you include the efficiency of generation it's unlikely to be more energetically efficient, yes.

It's close though, natural gas combined cycle plants are very efficient for what they are. And if the heater is electric, substitution for other electricity sources is possible... unlike now.
This is all bull. Anyone who’s had a toddler swing their dense little head at you and was rewarded with a fat lip knows exactly what the hardest material on earth is. My startup, BabySkull.io (YC S23), is exploring this material for defense-related equipment.
It's riveting to follow the evolution of Tim Sweeney's dream of a more Haskell-like programming language for games since his 2005 talk: https://www.st.cs.uni-saarland.de/edu/seminare/2005/advanced...
"No tinkering required" needs to come with a big YMMV. Most of the devs I've polled about their Linux experience matches the OP, they tried it and went back to Mac/Windows.
Clearly we will need Patlabors.
Depends. Better to burn gas for direct heat than burn gas to produce electricity and then use resistive heating.

But you do have to transport the gas or electricity to the heating site, and I don't know how that adds up.

Also, if conditions are right, you can use electricity to run a heat pump and move heat from the outside air to the inside air; depending on the details, you can move a lot more watts of heat then you spend operating the heat pump. This can be more economical than direct heating.
The green idiots took over so it wasn't.
It's a rough estimation technique. If every choice/factor divides the number of candidates in half (on average), you can choose between 2^N candidates with N yes/no questions (on average).

I'd assume that they are estimate that 1/8 of the human population plays chess, which feels like an over-estimate to me (but not absurdly, depending on your threshold of "plays"; by a similar process I'd estimate that at least 1/8 of humans alive are under 10 years old).
Ah yes, the Whattabouts!
I guess each digit is a word?

For example, how does the explanation in the article produce a module that can solve this:

“ To calculate the hypotenuse of a triangle with one side that is 12 inches long and another i S side that is 36 centimeters long, a 6th grader might say something like this:
"First, we need to convert the 36 centimeters into inches so that both sides of the triangle are in the same units. We can do this by dividing 36 by 2.54, which is the number of centimeters in one inch. This gives us 14.173228 inches.
Then, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The Pythagorean theorem says that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides. So we
can use this formula to find the length of the hypotenuse: a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
In our triangle, the length of one side is 12 inches, and the length of the other side is 14.173228 inches. So we can plug those numbers into the formula like this: 12^2 +
14.173228^2 = c^2.
Then we just need to do the math to find the value of c. 12^2 is 144, and 14.173228^2 is
201.837296. So if we add those two numbers together, we get 346.837296. And if we take the square root of that number, we get the length of the hypotenuse, which is 18.816199 inches.”
I don't know what you are talking about. It's literally as easy as buying a $15 electric space heater from the next store and plugging it into an existing wall outlet. The rest is just aesthetics. Electric water heaters are also affordable, small and easy to install yourself.
I wrote this guide on generating 3D models and orthorectified imagery from 360 degree cameras. Usually this sort of thing is a lot easier with drones, but there are a lot of places you can't fly drones!

I'm hoping this makes mapping curb/street/parking data more accessible.

For example, OpenStreetMap has a new street parking spec which could make use of lots of street imagery! https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Street_parking
Actually, with one of the problems being faced in that space at present, especially for applications involving factual answers, being "hallucinations" ( ie. essentially as I understand it the level of "creativity" in responses) such "creativity" may well be quite suited to finding those various unusual edge cases.
It's a path to laziness and skipping the 20% that's actually helpful in favor of a useless 80%.

I see a useful use case for using a tool like this after the commit messages are written (e.g. auto-generate these summaries on the fly when browsing history), but using it to write commit messages themselves is a terrible idea.
Personalized astrology?
What is the cost when it comes to disk I/O? I found the overhead to be significant in VMs. Personal impression, no metrics. I am also talking about standard OS-based VMs where the image is a file, not hypervisors.

It is becoming more and more relevant now that we have ridiculously fast SSDs and games take advantage of them. It was, after all, a big selling point of the PS5.
Take Windows 10 or 11 through a time machine and show it to someone in the 90s or 00s and it would be considered adware and/or malware and/or spyware. It takes every opportunity to shove ads in the user's face. It takes days of configuration to make it usable, and an update at any time can undo your efforts as shown by other comments in this thread. Unless you complete a metaphorical Ninja Warrior course every little bit of your data will be sent to Microsoft, and even if you do everything right there still are telemetry that you can't disable. The UI is often laggy and unresponsive compared to eg. Manjaro XFCE.

Linux may have issues at times but at least they're not caused by malice. An OS should get out of my way and let me do what I need / want to do, not do everything it can to intentionally and maliciously get in my way to make a few cents of adverts. Modern Windows is parasitic.
I’ve never understood why Americans idealize Scandinavia without recognizing how racist and elitist these countries can be.
Well, I don't think anyone's suggesting it can be done overnight. So, of course, we will need a stopgap measure (of LNG terminals). For now.

IMHO, what people demand is that Germany should recognize that the current crisis is the fruit of multiple decades of bad energy policy. If we don't, twenty years later, we'll still be saying "Yes, sadly, Germany is still burning gas, but you can't convert it overnight! What do you want?"
I think you would be surprised how PRs work in many companies. We are encouraged to write small PRs and many will have automated tools that points to a Jira ticket in the description or as a comment. For this reason many leave empty descriptions. In such cases this would still help.
One of the biggest mistakes people make when thinking about making money with a side project is to think it has to be a revolutionary, game changing product to make money. Most people cannot fathom how much money is being spent online every minute (it's about $10.4M per minute just on ecommerce alone). You barely have to dip your pinky finger into that stream to make a living.
I think “go haters” bring up plenty of valid points, unlike.. unfortunately any discussion on facebook.
"Science" is the name of how you work with something, not of a subject.
But it supports arbitrary precision or at least a whole bunch of precision:

https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=ec109685#33944516
Science is about the process, not the results. Somebody discovers an phenomenon, studies it, fails to take something relevant into account, and publishes a faulty result, and that's science. Somebody else tries to replicate the study, fails it, and can't figure out what went wrong, and that's science. Then somebody discovers the flaw, gets a different result, and publishes it, and that's science.

Not me, I make it a habit to try Linux every year to see what the major distros are, and test their feasibility as a replacement for MacOS. I usually run into bugs and lots of necessary copy-paste from the internet to get random features working.
Hey, thanks a lot for mentioning the show!

You know, your thought process is identical to mine on this subject haha. That's why I started the show. It felt like it was filling a void around a bunch of deployment topics.
So you would make payments totally dependent on:
- eletricity
- smartphone
- data signal
- bank account

This language is cyuuuute! The multi-valuedness making "if (x | y) then…" work is so neat, and having `x : int` be a thing of exactly the same nature as `x = 3` is cool to see; even in a fully dependently-typed language, those things are not of the same kind. This looks super mind-expanding to try out!

(My first reaction is some slight aversion to what the "flexible" and "rigid" stuff is doing in the conditional scrutinee body, but maybe that'll feel natural after playing with the formal specification a bit.)
When it is the only thing that can facilitate an exchange, that alone imbues it with real value.
Every 5 minutes is a bit much, 20 or 30 minutes woudl be a lot more reasonable 20-20-20 rule and all that.
I am similar, except one thing.

It's crazy what difference a single human voice can make to one's perception of a topic.

I think it mostly has to do with provenance. The third shift prints usually don’t make it into contemporary bibliographies [1] and since the printer is untrustworthy, you can’t be sure if it’s a real third shift first edition or the tenth impression of some typesetting that the printer forgot to recycle. If we were talking about the Gutenberg Bible or say, Origin of Species, it might be worth doing original research and chemical analyses because even a third shift copy could be worth more than its weight in gold, but for >>99% of books it’d be a losing proposition since few books are worth tens of thousands of dollars.

That said, if the paper and binding quality are the same between shifts and there’s no identifying mark like unique numbering on each copy, there’s no telling how many first editions in circulation are really third shift printings. So few of the books survive the centuries that I’ve never heard of more first editions showing up than the publisher admits to printing to bibliographers.

Edit: They’re not really “worthless” but old and rare books might see one genuine first edition sold every few years to some rich person with a hobby. Many if not most of these books are bought and sold by knowledgeable collectors so if a client is going to drop thousands on a book, they're going to buy the copy that is most likely to be genuine, making any also rans effectively worthless because there’s not enough of a demand to force buyers to settle for riskier copies.

[1] because they’re unauthorized and the publisher doesn’t talk about them to the bibliographers
My first time coming across rqlite. Looks awesome. I just finished writing a poor man’s centralized store of SQLite writing the DB file to Minio (s3 compliant) storage but of course has race conditions all over the place. Gonna take a look at replacing with rqlite.
Actually, they added a unit test in a follow-on change:

I'm not sure about the "learn it as a first language" bit.

x:=(1|2); y:=(7|8); (x,y)

This stuff just doesn't seem intuitive to me. It's not verbose enough to be obvious to someone who doesn't know what's going on.

Looks interesting though; that's a really bright group of people. Be curious to see where their project ends up.
ugh, so many downvotes and not a single person to explain why this is "a language for the metaverse" as opposed to being just "a new language"

Like I said, spend $99 on MacBook Air, receive it, turn it on, it works. That’s all I care about. I don’t even like apple products really but I just want something I know will work.
I hear you, and that sucks. Targeted saturation is exactly that IF you live in an area with lots of crime: they look for areas where crime concentrates and do lots of extra stops and extra police presence. If you don't live in an area with lots of crime, it's not targeted and they're doing something else, probably not constructive.
So your point is that we care about energy storage capacity more than about maximum discharge power after all?
I am certainly not sticking up for NCC's policies about firing, or even Matasano's.
That would be another good one! Could even combine your horoscope and your dreams :)
At this point printers and wifi work more reliably on Linux, at least in my experience.

And wifi troubleshooting at Windows is basically impossible.
I remain unconvinced that the inevitable existence of e.g., designer babies will inevitably lead to forcing people to have them.

This has always been the part of academia I have not understood. Academics are supposed to "know" more than the public. They are paid to have some understanding of reality in a way that the lay public does not so they can have tenure - that is they can't be fired (or it is very hard) for researching controversial subjects with payoffs that are hard to define by someone not in the field.

Everyone else in academia is working towards this end result or drops out somewhere along the path and works in industry. The exception being those specialist degrees that are quasi-academic such as law and medicine, but which have more applied (and therefore measurable) results.

And yet, we don't hold these people to the standards they set for themselves as a cohort? I wouldn't expect every paper to be replicable, or every researcher to always be right. But I see things like the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EmDrive and wonder how many billions of dollar were put into this thing. It's essentially a state backed way of defrauding the public out of tax dollars to pay people with doctorates that made friends with other people with doctorates. What if the US spent the money that was used on the EmDrive on housing or social services for instance? Or building libraries or bridges?

All it would take would be for a few academic journals to demand that the statistical replication of papers be required, but it would mean that the editors would have to be guided by principles other than maximizing revenue.
I'm using Tabler for my latest project and love it so far. There are some caveats though:

- It's way too verbose sometimes. There are numerous instances where I would have done just a single tag and Tabler has two or three of them nested.

- Some similar components are implemented in way different ways. Compare .status-indicator which takes color as a dedicated class (`.status-green`, for example) and .badge, which uses background-color helpers (e. g. `.bg-green`).

- Secondary buttons are .btn without additional class, unlike .btn.btn-secondary in Bootstrap (which Tabler is based on). If you add .btn-secondary, you'll get a weird out-of-style button. Things get more difficult when you use a Bootstrap-based library for some interactive elements (I'm using Sveltestrap) and it adds .btn-secondary by default.

- Some layout bugs get introduced and fixed, nothing you can't patch out though. Hope it will get better as it matures.

Overall it's neat though, and for prototyping things quickly I'd say it's the best you can get now.
I downvoted you because this article has nothing to do with IPv6 technology. It has to do with a large ISP being a dick and refusing to act mature and, you know, do their goddamned job and peer with other ISPs.
That makes a lot of sense. That's a horrible working environment, with high voltage, working in the air, and trains on adjacent tracks.

It looks like a prototype, though, with exposed belts and pulleys.
1. Not "VR", just remote sensing of actual-reality and transmission to immersive controls.

2. It's not robots per se, it's remote-controlled arms. i.e. the machine does not operate on its own. A bit like a remote-controlled exosuit/power-armor.

3. Not "are building" but "may build".

Other than that - great. Grr.
