Everyone forgets the first two Rs of conservation. Buying one electronic gadget and holding on to it for 5-7 years or longer, including being able to make repairs and upgrades, is vastly better for the planet then getting that new iDevice every year or two and feeling better about yourself because it is advertised as "sustainably made".
That applies to the whole market, not necessarily a single stock.
Except in some European casinos, which don't check for dealer blackjacks before play. Under those rules - someone may correct me - a blackjack outranks any other 21, and if the dealer has a blackjack and you made a 21 with more than two cards, I believe it's not a push and the dealer wins. I could be wrong, it's been awhile since I played over there.

They often weight the rules back towards the players in other strange ways, like, being able to double down at any time (even on the 3rd or 4th card), resplit aces, as well as surrender.
> Studies have shown that for renewables to become the source of 90% to 95% of all electricity, the cost of energy storage must be below US$150/kWh. Modern lithium-ion systems are still sitting around US$350/kWh.

This is so, so far off the mark. The average price of electricity in the US was 16 cents per kWh [1]. In the Northeast it is more, it can go as high as 32 cents in Connecticut. Let's say you buy such batteries, for $150/kWh, charge in the summer and sell in the winter. And let's say you charge for free and sell for a whopping $1/kWh. And let's say you have no other operating expenses. Great, you only need 150 years to break even.

Batteries need to get at least 100 times cheaper to make sense for seasonal storage.

I think plastic-free metallic casing is a big deal for ewaste. But also, SoC convergence is a terrible thing. It would have been nice if components were modular.

Imagine if the 4g/5g, bluetooth and wifi modules if the billions of phones out there could be reused. Even CPU and memory might be reused on servers.

From a security perspective as well, the whole VM thing isn't working out. If server racks had like 100 cpus each with dedicated 4GB ram all in 2U, you can pin a process per cpu/related ram, but the best part is if the components are reused from consumer devices, they might be dirt cheap, and you can build a much more reliable setup where cpu/ram failing just means reduced capacity until you hotplug more.

Interesting. But this is pointing out a classic statistical result that cohort, calendar time, and age effects can’t be nonparametically separated. So we cant know, based on just observational data, what is society getting more liberal, people getting more liberal, or less liberal cohorts dying (unless you’re willing to assume one of these trends takes a low dimensional functional form, but that’s sort of assuming the answer).

Hi Evan You! (Hi from wentin) It's great to see you here in this thread. It's such a wonderful gesture for the open-source community to collaborate in this manner, by sharing valuable lessons learned the hard way.

It’s intriguing to see where the Svelte exploration will lead. Will it face disapproval or achieve success? While I agree that both implementations have arrived at the same place (almost serendipitously), their origins differ. For Vue, it's about adding the syntactic sugar by dropping .value, making it less explicit and more magical. In contrast, Svelte made the change to make things more explicit and reduce the “black magicness” from the svelte compiler, and bring it more similar to javascript. This difference might trigger totally different reaction, time will tell.

Looking forward to more insightful discussions!

I dunno why this always gets brought up. What causes inflation? Money moving in the economy. Don't want to cause inflation? Give your money to rich people, they will just sit on it.

Which means your assets are less valuable, and poor people move up.

I for one appreciated the observation that if you're using XML for something that isn't a document, you're probably doing it wrong.

> Outside of tech focused companies, 10+ year old systems really are the norm.

It's because outside of tech companies, nobody cares about new features. They care about things continuing to work. Companies don't buy software for the fun of exploring new versions, especially frustratingly pointless cosmetic changes that keep hitting their training budgets.

Many companies would be happy with RHEL5 or Windows XP today from a feature standpoint, if it weren't a security vulnerability.
Not sure how you can surmise that. The earliest human-made tools are from 2.6 million years ago. You think nothing starting from then to this wood house had a deliberately constructed right angle?
There are many more updates than security updates coming to LTS kernels all the time.

Kernel updates are more often than not even categorized in any way. Only for very prominent vulnerabilities the security impact is clear to a larger audience.
I made 17.5k doing this by dumb luck.

I was trading crypto back in 2016-2017. Making a few thousand here and there. Mostly just from time in the market during the run-up of ethereum. The whole thing drove me crazy because I thought it was so stupid, like gambling. So in 2017 I withdrew my several thousand dollars and put in a trade on coinbase pro for 5 etherum at $100. (I had left $500 to do this, the most I was willing to risk at the time) On 2018-11-25 this trade was executed in a flash crash.

I had totally forgotten about this trade and when I was going to buy a house in 2021 I was looking for any change in the seat cushions thinking I may have left a small amount in these accounts. Well imagine my shock when the amount was just short of $18,000.

I was thinking about the ideas I can work on at free time, and realised they are all not very good, so I decided to work on this project:)

I agree that these listings can be a bit confusing. I set up some simple maths to convert everyones expenditure into revenue per year. So let's say if you put 10$, 2 times a month instead, it would calculate 10$212months = 240$/year, and would sum up over all users that subscribed to the idea.

Since you picked 100$ 12 times per life, I just assumed that you would live around 60 years more (could be optimistic or pessimistic assumption, depending on your age and where you live), which results in 100$*12 times/60 years= $20 per year

It gets even more confusing for ideas that involves monthly subscriptions. Like, let's say I use Netflix once a day, how much am I ready to pay per use? I would put like $15, once a month just to not do mental calculations

I agree this part needs some reworking
> Instead [of using a library like libffi], Swift embeds a copy of clang, the C and C++ compiler, which is able to directly translate between the languages avoiding penalties in code size and runtime performance.

How exactly does this work? Is it compiling C/C++ code alongside the Swift code and transforming that into some kind of Swift implementation?
This is just pulling a strawman argument. I'm criticizing the West for precisely destroying the way of life that you have had, in favour of some misguided sense of tolerance intermixed with arrogance.

"Free" refers to the cost to the consumer. You don't have to pay to take the tests. It still costs money to actually make and deploy the tests. Use some basic common sense, please.
I understand the sentiment, while also looking at our computing devices' market where the fight for repairability is pretty harsh and far from a given.

Same for cars that are becoming less and less repairable and viable in the long term, medical devices are now vulnerable to external attack vectors to a point the field didn't predict, and I'd assume it's the same in so many other fields.

One could argue those are all the effect of software getting integrated into what where "dumb" devices, but that's also the march of progress the society is longing for...where to draw the line is more and more a tough decision, and the need for regulation kinda puts a lot of the potential improvements into the "when hell freezes" bucket. I hope I'm deeply mistaken.

I've seen businesses tank because of search algo changes long before this. I see it as something similar to reliance on a third party API - you have to be prepared for the rug to be pulled on you at any time. This is why it makes me anxious when I talk to small business owners who have been obsessing over SEO and even paying large sums to SEO firms. It's such shaky ground.

It's not as if we want him to churn them out faster to maximize his productivity. We just don't want the books left unwritten when he dies!

I firmly believe that it's better to not release something unless you're really happy with it even if that means delays. For example, I hate the modern trend of pushing out unfinished broken games and spending the next couple years patching issues that should never have shipped. I hate it when studio imposed schedules driven by marketing concerns compromise the quality of movies and television series.

That said, 12 years without progress is a very long time and the man doesn't have much time left. He's been working on this story for over 30 years. I don't know what's holding him up, but getting an author-approved conclusion written by others (even if only as a backup) would be better than the random fan fic we'll be stuck with if he leaves this world without finishing the final two books on his own.
Product looks excellent, and your website is gorgeous. Kudos!

It looks like the "Switch from X" buttons don't go anywhere.
The problem is "config" means different things to different people. Some people see config as "the collection of runtime parameters" basically a bank of switches: Pyproject.toml is config. Others see any form of declarative structured data ingested by a runtime as config: docker-compose.yml is config.

And of course to minimize impedance mismatch, the structure should be similar to the domain.

So yes I want a "config file" to handle at least a dozen levels of nesting without getting obnoxious.
