I live in the UK, so our appliance standards are different. However, I just looked at my current dishwasher - it uses 0.85 kWh/cycle and 11.5L per cycle. I think the assumption in the US is 215 cycles a year - so that means 183 kWh/year and 3 gallons / cycle. That seems to be less than this limit.

And, it's totally fine? It cleans dishes. It takes a few hours - but then it's pretty rare I need all my dishes immediately anyway. I've got enough so even if it's full there's a glass or a plate available. I use the all in one tablets - it has a special tablet mode that opens the door pretty much immediately. I never pre-rinse plates. I think I clean the filters every 3-6 months under the kitchen tap. Takes about 2 minutes.

OK, instead of answering in every Thread here:

These apps have existed for many years now and the "business model" behind them has changed over the times. These apps are available on Google Play and F-Droid. Originally, the apps were completely free, and there was a "Thank You" app which you could purchase on Google Play. This "Thank You" app does almost nothing, it only allows you to change the color theme of the apps and is more meant as a "donation app" for the project.

Then, in 2018, the author decided to develop "Pro" versions of the most popular apps: Gallery, Calendar, Contacts, File Manager, etc. They can be bought on Google Play. These apps are still fully open source, you can build them yourself if you want, but much easier: they are still published on F-Droid, including the "Thank You" app.

Understandably, the author does not really advertise that everything he does is available completely for free on F-Droid. If you install it from there, please consider to donate. I find these apps to be usually excellent and have used them for years.

Show HN: Resticara – Simplified Restic Wrapper
I went to a university in my country (Nordic country) at the end of the 90s. At that time you could actually just sign up to anything you wanted. You could follow a course in database theory at the same time as a course in ancient Greek history. If you wanted a specific degree (like "system development") you were free to compose your own plan, so long as they met certain requirements

I know several people who took a class out of curiosity and changed their career when they found their true calling. One effect of this was that you got a much broader set of people than the typical "nerdy guy". CS stole a lot of people who originally intended to focus on studies like sociology, law, economics, psychology and philosophy, but fell in love with CS. It was also much easier to combine work and studies when you could register for classes without committing to a full 3/5 year program.

Today, the same university focus on full time students who "bind" themselves to a specific program. I feel bad for the students today who are forced to follow a much more strict program. They still have some freedom, but it's much more limited and it's harder to "cross over" if you want to follow a class that belongs to a different program. I'm not surprised that many decide to drop out.
Coding the perimeter vs coding the area
Indeed. But at least it acknowledges it, with the iconic "It's too big and too slow."
Drink vending machines in Japan will typically have 3-4 types of unsweetened iced tea (such as black tea, oolong tea, barley tea, green tea and jasmine tea) and sometimes sweet/flavoured black tea and English-inspired milk tea. In winter 1-2 of those will be offered hot, too.
So basically, we need to build more infrastructure for EVs?

Sorta like what was built for ICE vehicles? The distillery units that extract petrol/diesel, the ships that transport it (where applicable), the holding tanks they unload into, the network of fuel trucks that distribute it to the thousands of petrol stations?

Yeah, well, colour me shocked that a lack of infrastructure right now makes using EVs challenging right now. I mean, only four charging spots in that town, but how many bowsers are in that town?

EV infra is a classic chicken and egg problem, while EV ownership rates are low, there's minimal incentive to build the infrastructure.

And poor infrastructure makes purchasing an EV an exercise in risk analysis that harms uptake.
> the output type can be different

That's interesting. But every such type must have the same "shape" - a sequence of things. So it's the same as bind, plus an optional conversion at the end.

Which is the same as Rust's flat_map, because in Rust when you operate with iterators you can end up collecting into another type, like, myvec.into_iter().flat_map(|x| ..).collect() converts from a Vec<T> into SomeType<U>, where SomeType is any type that represents a sequence, and T to U is the type conversion from the map

I want to recommend things everyone benefits from, not myself. Consequently, I don't want to support anything that doesn't trend the community toward my ideals.

For instance, the Mastodon project and mastodon.social are run by a non-profit. They have their own mastodon account which discusses updates, advertises merchandise to support them, and could ask for sponsors or donations if needed. Users can subscribe to their feed if they want, and support them should they need help, while users who don't want advertisements won't be affected. I'm confident in the stability of this model for them so I chose to make my Mastodon account on their instance so I can trust I won't have to transfer to another someday should one shut down.

I'm hoping the digital space evolves in this direction and that we approach a post-advertisement economy.

Otherwise, enshittification keeps ruining things and we can't rely on the long-term stability of anything. Just look at Google.

Although this graph of the abundance of elements[0] puts sodium with the rock-forming elements (and chloride just inside, but on the edge). So doesn't that mean they should also form insoluble minerals?

Of all the recent failures of moon landers, Luna 25 is the most intriguing one. It failed simply because the retro-burn continued too long. It was a simple timed operation, unlike all the complex logic that goes into landing. Makes me wonder about the state of the Russian space programme.

Sort of, but not really.

The speed of sound in water is 1480 m/s (at 20C), and is independent of the length of the vehicle.

Ships are sort of special because they operate at the surface of the water. Submarines operating submerged have no such "hull speed", and their wave-making resistance is insignificant.
I2C is a simple serial communications protocol typically used for things like configuring on-board devices and reading sensors.

> The main problem with Debian is outdated software.

I'm a Debian user. I see this a lot. Often in contrast with Ubuntu.

Yet Debian's cycle is roughly on par with Ubuntu's LTS - every ~2 years.[0]

Perhaps they mean there are interim releases in Ubuntu? It's hard to say for sure, as the phrase 'outdated software' can mean different things (more than 6 months old, more than 2 years old, in need of a security patch for > 1 week, etc).

> But for a regular desktop/workstation system I want more frequent software updates even if it comes at the cost of a little stability.

This sounds like you want Debian Testing (currently Trixie).

Much more frequent software updates, with an extremely small risk of less 'stability'.

>There is no good reason to compare the bottom third of graduates to the whole pool of non-graduates other than to try to justify a misleading comparison about graduates somehow earning less when they’re not.

if 33% of a "more educated population" is ending up worse than the less educated average, I'd say it's something to note. But I think the conclusion came out wrong.

on a micro level, it shouldn't affect if you go to college. But it should affect why and how you go to college. I didn't take this as "college isn't worth it full stop", I took it as "you can't just use college to 'find yourself' anymore". If you don't want to end up in that bottom third who probably switched majors, took breaks, or dropped out, you need a plan and to stick with it. You need to pick a diploma that has a good ROI instead of winging it with a more Artistic degree.

Or you know, you just need rich parents to supplement "the college experience". Let's never forget the elite aare insulated from the problems of the future working class.

It is 2023, and they seem to have completely broken hibernate on Windows. Didn't work reliably for a while, intermittently failing to wake up correctly in various ways, one of those ways being a black screen with no choice but to reboot¹, and it seems to have vanished as an option on most (maybe all) laptops I've used recently².

And sleep doesn't always stay slept. We've had machines wake up in bags so when later needed they have near flat batteries and are nice & toasty³.

So sleep/hibernate not working right is hardly a significant difference when comparing Linux to Windows. In fact one of the laptops I had trouble with did sleep and hibernate properly when Linux went on it for a while, so at least sometimes the difference is not in favour of Windows.

No.

Look, the cost comes from somewhere. You earn it later and pay it later, in taxes or in loan service payments. Either way, you pay it. At least with a loan you have a shot at being done paying one day. And this sort of thing only makes sense as a nation managing a treasury if the people go on to make significantly more from their degrees. With the way education is going, credentials no longer guarantee good pay, and if everyone can go "for free" then every job will require a degree, you wind up in a scenario where a nation wastes 4 years per generation only to wind up with the same economic landscape later. They'll cut these programs well before that happens. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
This is a discussion about governmental sites. I don't use them because I want to but because I have to. So, current fashion and appeal are second to usability. There are some fundamental laws and limitations on how people process the presented information and that SHOULD be taken into account in designing a public service. Ideally, there is an interest in both parties (state and citizen) that their interaction is correct in order to fulfill their obligations and ensure their rights.

Also many of the interactions with governmental digital services happen only once a year. I've been in helpdesk supporting people on a webapp with an obnoxious interface that they had to use 3 to 4 times a year to fulfill their project report in order to get paid for their project work. The UX was so out of the conventions that people hated it with passion and I had to help the laggards to use the application.

No, the Hermes interpreter is probably on-par with the JSC-Interpreter if this is a comparison made on iOS React Native apps. JSC-JIT is usually on par or ahead of V8, the iOS JIT restrictions really fudges up results since it's so imperative for JS performance.

From what I've seen Kotlin(and Swift prob also) semantics are fare more AOT-compile friendly so they're probably a fair bit ahead (depending on how much you gimp your JS target to mimic Asm.JS/Wasm but most regular JS developers won't write code that way).
This written in a bit rude way but it certainly resonates with me!
The problem here, is actually require you to share real name on PUBLIC PROFILE, so everyone can see, not just GitHub employee, I believe this has nothing to do with GitHub needing to verify my identity, it can ask for my personal information privately.

>we tend to compare averages rather than their personal outcomes.

because it can be hard to be honest about our loved ones. Everyone wants to say Bobby is a genius and can grow up to be president. But having a 2.3 GPA and no drive in life means getting through the first year of community college will be a challenge, at least a challenge for Bobby. There are core questions to answer before we keep pushing Bobbby down such a path but his support network may never ask those questions to begin with.

Meanwhile, Andy with a 4.0 GPA, nationally acclaimed talent, and mutliple top college acceptances has the world as his oyster. He could probably go to art school and have the drive to end up in a highly successful career, even if that type of schooling tends to end up as one of the worst ROI. OFC, Andy's support network may be pushing him to be a doctor or Lawyer so there's still issues there.

> Unit testing private methods.

Adding the single biggest reason I have encountered: Because the overall functionality is too complex to test through the API alone, so the alternative is to extract part of the "private" functionality to a separate class that would then be public itself, making functionality public that shouldn't be. By that, the discussion about "testing private methods" ignores the elephant in the room, which is that the language used doesn't have a rich concept of public vs. private in the first place.

As evidence for that I'd like to mention that I never had that problem in Rust, because I can simply extract the private functionality into helper functions within a private sub-module and unit-test them there, without that functionality becoming public to the rest of the code.
