Heat pumps are great, but it’s the dc inverter and advances in compressor efficiency that is really the biggy on energy usage here.

Every one of these “heat pumps are the future” articles is so soft on data, and they often fail to explain the basics or a simple “why.” Once we get past the clickbait heat pump articles, we can actually make an impact.
Then nothing can. Or you could be wrong.

A little more.. Apple hired Jordan K. Hubbard, the FreeBSD co-founder, back in 2001 to work in the Core OS Engineering Department. His role at that time was manager, BSD technology at Apple, overseeing the BSD Technology Base for Darwin, the UNIX-based core of Mac OS X.

I remember a very early release of Darwin, was interested at the time to see if it would eventually become a standalone product, but it never did. I assume there was a lack of corporate support, much like how Google is now trying to slowly close AOSP via removing core pieces like the dialer.
Google keep us awesome! Very underrated. I use logseq most of the time but keep when I'm on mobile and I'll sync them later. There are scripts to hello transfer but doing it manually is pretty easy.

What size? The last split system I bought cost about AU$1600 installed ( ~$1060) for 3.5kW... Looking at prices now, even going up to a ducted 14kW Mitsubishi Electric heat pump/AC is only AU$5000 (before installation, and you would need to add ducts and vents etc. - that's just the controller, outdoor unit and in-ceiling unit, but still)...

Is this in the US? Maybe the market is distorted just because not enough people are buying them yet, so nobody has much stock and there's little competition... We have that problem I think for air to water - super common in the UK and Europe, but since everybody uses air to air, split and ducted systems are super cheap but air to water are quite expensive. I really would quite like some heated floors in my bathrooms if I end up doing a big renovation, and don't want to go electric in-floor because hydronic with a heat pump should be more efficient.

Agree, seems like a terrible decision. Twitter took off in part because people could post and have a wide audience. That audience is greatly reduced if there are no casuals allowed.
My understanding is that heat pumps operate at less than 100% efficiency at those levels. They don’t start blowing cold air, rather the air isn’t 90 degrees coming out any more.
None of those listed options included Postgres, but Facebook originally was running on 30k+ MySQL servers, so clearly they made do.

There's nothing libertarian about this. Inventing and securing dangerous technology is an affront to individual freedoms. The idea of proliferation as deterance is totally separate from libertarianism and seeded more in fear than anything else.
I'll look into it, thanks for the suggestion! The risk de-synchronization poses can probably be mitigated with automated local backups.
Honestly the "This is fine"-badge for over 1.000 open issues on public repositories is very necessary.

There are so many opensource-projects now as compared to 10 years ago, especially in JavaScript-land, which have an unbelievable number of open bugs.

This is terrible because the majority of these bugs seem to be low-quality, so even if you are a seasoned developer with contribution experience, opening up a bug with the incentive to help simply gets you ignored.

I'm waiting for a bug in next.js at the moment where 404 does not return 404, that has been open for months (https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/51021). I don't have the time of writing a PR, but I have written countless PRs and bug-reports and worked on many other open-source projects, so I think I have done my share.

It is elitist, but I wish there was a way for maintainers to sort bugs by the reputation of the reporter, so projects can prioritize high-quality issues.
Instagram already does the annoying, user-hostile things (e.g., trying to force users to log in while browsing) that Twitter started doing even long before Musk's acquisition.

Mass dilution is going to be fairly expensive because you have to move a significant multiple of the water you actually process. The brine waste water is roughly double the salinity of normal sea water at 70 ppt so to get back to the 33-37 ppt that's the real average band you're looking at moving a lot of sea water to dilute the output. If you run the numbers you're looking at 15:1 of volume to get 70ppt to 37ppt using 35ppt water all while ensuring you're at a place with enough natural mixing that your inputs and outputs don't start feeding back into each other.

It also seems like a problem for anonymity. On Twitter, I can create multiple accounts and I can stay anonymous if I like. I don't know about IG, but FB only allows one account. I don't want my info leaking somehow.

I also have a very different Twitter space from my FB space. Though my IG is also different from my FB.
> It's the same reason why porting to obscure CPUs can be useful: DEC Alpha was never popular, but supporting it kind of forced Linux to be 64-bit clean in some ways, so when amd64 came along there was already a bunch of infrastructure in place.

Nitpick (and you didn't necessarily imply otherwise), but x86-64 was a latecomer to 64-bit ports in Linux. SPARC I think was next after Alpha, and MIPS, PARISC, IA64, PowerPC at least all came before x86-64 was merged.
So to clarify: as long as a worker is hourly, they don't deserve any privacy or respect, and can be surveilled at will. That's pretty incredible.

It needs time to tell - not a lot of time, but more than a few hours. Lots of people sign up to park an account on new services and Threads is going to be one of the most heavily-parked of them all.

It's DAU/MAU numbers and retention that make the bigger difference. ActivityPub has had pretty good retention since the early era of Mastodon - not gangbusters growth, but enough for people to feel comfortable with the ecosystem as it stands and uninfluenced by a large instance.

AP's "core experience" is more like a combo of Usenet, web forums and email than XMPP or Twitter - it can be aggregated and surveilled, but the social graph isn't solely in messaging and follower connections, it's in space-making and exclusivity. While individual users can be coerced into centralizing, spaces are a much harder nut and are why little PhpBB forums persist even now. You can have all the users but not the spaces, and if you don't play nice with the spaces, adios.

The SQLite documentation itself mentions write concurrency as a limitation.

> Multiple processes can have the same database open at the same time. Multiple processes can be doing a SELECT at the same time. But only one process can be making changes to the database at any moment in time, however.

It goes on to say that other databases provide more concurrency.

> However, client/server database engines (such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Oracle) usually support a higher level of concurrency and allow multiple processes to be writing to the same database at the same time. This is possible in a client/server database because there is always a single well-controlled server process available to coordinate access. If your application has a need for a lot of concurrency, then you should consider using a client/server database. But experience suggests that most applications need much less concurrency than their designers imagine.

> So violence is okay as long as enough people voted for it?

Sure, how else would you stop a violent threat to society? Say, a chap who starts shooting up a mall? Or a foreign invader?

Evernote preceeded the Iphone, the product was originally a non cloud small business that I think was sold/ spun off into a venture capital funded company.

Evernote is older than the Iphone.

I just checked and I found a review of Evernote 1.0 from 2007, but I think the product predated that review. I found a web site saying the first Evernote Beta was released in 2004. I remember using Evernote in grad school in 2008.
Exactly. For some reason I have this irrational dislike for the Meta universe. I made a choice early on to not join Facebook and since then it has been a like personal rule for me. But I am bad at keeping myself accountable since I use Whatsapp to communicate with my immediate family.
> Evernote is a prime example of the pains of trying to convert free users to paying users for the same features

I don't think so. They had plenty of paying customers. They claimed to be profitable for a long time (eg https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/evernote-rai...). They had trouble with (i) implementing big price hikes, and (ii) a poor, bug-filled user experience. While that was going on, they were facing increasing competition, yet they acting like a monopolist. OneNote, Google Docs, Dropbox Paper, Notion, and so on were providing a quality product at a better price. The lesson is one that many HN commenters would never accept. It's possible to set your price too high.
Cool, now all we need is an Apollo app for Threads. Something to filter out all the "suggestions" they give for who to follow.

>If we are successful, if we make something that lots of people love and keep using, we will, I’m sure, monetize it. And I would be confident that the business model will be ads.
I am not aware of any such system in the US.

What do you mean by "modulate"? Your utility provider decides how much heat your home gets? That's a very strange concept.
Well I’m talking more generically when I said I like the idea. If you’re uploading your notes to a cloud service like Evernote, you should already be thinking about acceptable privacy policies.
Evernote alternatives for your 'digital shoebox'/'paperless office'.

JOPLIN:

Browsing through alternativeto [1], seems that the obvious replacement for a hosted 'non-tech' offering is Joplin [2] - a free, open source direct evernote competitor which includes Evernote import feature and cloud syncing.

PAPERLESS-NGX:

For the whole paperless office, scan/store receipts and PDF paperwork, I've been seriously looking at Paperless-NGX [3]. Downside is that you need to sort out self-hosting. Upside it's free and looks amazing for achieving a 'paperless office'.

Found this on exporting from Evernote to Paperless-NGX [4], but its not definitive.

Has anyone done this already? Would love your advice.
Demand is out there for someone to write up a good guide on this.

Sorry man, our product is currently in first stage mode, the results may not as good as what we expect :(
But this also seems to be another case of tech companies trying to have it's cake and eat it too like the recent reddit debacle. The freemium model comes with trade-offs and businesses can't have it both ways. 'Free' users should be viewed as free marketing and advertising for generating paid users not as lost potential revenue.

No business using the freemium model should expect to magically convert the free users to paid users and still retain the popularity generated by the free users. You would think as many times as tech companies have that shot themselves in the foot like this our industry might stop attempting to do this. When does this actually work?
Some alternatives are often illegal in many jurisdictions and also are new and don't have as much research behind them. Psilocybin, Ketamine etc.

Some alternatives are greatly intrusive such as ECT.

Therapists are often expensive and there are not enough of them.

Some alternatives are just new and it takes time to roll them out. For example TMS. There are also other new non SSRI drugs as well.
