A simple evaporation system without heat recovery would use about 100x the energy of reverse osmosis per unit of fresh water produced (which is somewhere around 5 to 8 kWh per cubic meter of fresh water.)

PV-driven RO, even without energy recovery, is going to produce much more water than this scheme.
Why try to standardize the interface at all? This isn't the job of a programming language, and there is no way it can anticipate all the possible use cases. Let each service publish their own bindings, and you can a programmer can consume whichever ones you want.
Yeah and those keyboards give some of us RSI.
I think his question is more about does the worker directly access the GPU and thus require js tooling to handle the GPU somehow (no), or does it make subrequests to a separate GPU service not running the worker runtime (yes).
Same here. I've been a Kinesis fan since 2012 and went through several Freestyles, and for the last 5 years or so I've rocked the Edge (basically a Pro with rgb lights and mech switches). I was really looking forward to the Advantage360 but the UK price is mental: £590 for the cordless version. Yes, it's a great keyboard that will likely last a decade, but I'm not convinced the gains are big enough to justify the cost.

Regular hangs are the answer to this.

My friendship circles aren't at the kids stage yet, but we've got difference way of ensuring we stay in touch. For one of them we have a weekly Wednesday night boardgame hang. It's extremely rare everyone goes, but usually you get at least half a dozen. For another friend circle we have a Discord, if any of us finds an event we're interested in, we post it there and see if anyone fancies joining, usually some do.
The page looks nicely designed. You could try seeding this first. There are many ways to do that, but one of the easiest would be for you to launch your own campaign using your own product, offering a service you can offer, to fund marketing budget for your site so you can help grow it and benefit more people. For example, you could help local businesses improve their landing pages or something that matches your skills. Your campaign could be to raise money to increase awareness of Taskwer. You can be the first successfully funded project in your own product. Then talk about that. I'd try to bring in one campaign at a time that are 100% funded. Good luck!

I think the basic idea here is fundamentally flawed. You don't have to take my word for it. Plenty of businesses that I think are pointless shit succeed. But your hyper-local focus on people offering services to their pre-existing friends and friends of friends doesn't require software. Have you ever been part of a book club? A church? A family? Even just a private Facebook group where most of the people all know each other? When one person has a service to offer or just needs money, they say so and the community responds. That's how communities already work. They don't need a software intermediary to spread the word and take a cut. Hell, my neighborhood literally has an empty corner lot with a bulletin board on it, plus a local dive bar everyone frequents that also has a board like that. Apps to match providers with consumers are only needed when the providers and consumers are previously unknown and untrusted to each other, hence why they rely on reputation that takes time to build. You have the right idea that if you need money fast and don't have a reputation on any current platform, you ask your local community who either knows you or knows others who will vouch for you, but you don't need an app for that. The communication channels are already there.
> If tomorrow, someone started a for-profit company making a faster Python runtime and introduced features like this, it would be weird, and it would feel as pointless to me as Deno is

That's not really what Deno is. It's more vertical than purely a Python runtime-equivalent.

Having said that, the CPython runtime includes SQLite, so it's not far off anyway.
I honestly don't know how two people could "work together to fix it" for an apparently straightforward patch where less than 20 lines are changed...
My 'fixation' is that if you write a 1000 word angry blogpost attacking a kernel maintainer that you weren't properly credited that you could have at least submitted your patch properly formed. You seem to think that a sign-off is a formality, but it really isn't: it's to shield the kernel maintainers from copyright lawsuits by parties that surreptitiously include copyrighted code. It is a very important item on the checklist for a maintainer. You need to personally certify that you are able to make this particular contribution. See the LKML guideline for submitting patches that I've already linked to twice now.

Having that present would have likely increased the chances of this thing never happening in the first place by a significant factor. Almost every large open source project has their own quirky bits like that and as a newcomer you should at least read the documentation on how to contribute if you want to contribute, especially if that documentation is readily available and meticulously kept up to date.

Note that LKMS treats patches typically as proposals and not as must include verbatim or ignore and that by engaging the Linux kernel security mailing list a whole pile of mechanisms kicks in that remove options to play nice with newbie submitters and to help coach them through how to reach the state of the patch that would have been expected the first time around.

OP is aiming a pretty heavy handed attack on a kernel maintainer (a thankless job on the best of days), does so by misrepresenting their interaction in ways that matter and on top of that couldn't be bothered to read the docs.
Yeah, bad code doesn't stop being bad code just because it is correct. Good code not only is correct, but it is obviously so. There are zero excuses in a case like this to write it in the unsafe way. Just because you know a gun is not loaded, doesn't mean you should play with it.
When the alternative is sore wrists and a bad back, stopping you from working altogether, the price is justified.

This said, they used to be cheaper.
> it's difficult to pull off when career and family can pull everyone to different regions

I think it comes down to if you live to work, or work to live.

I moved to a small mountain town (10k people) that is bursting with 30-somethings who don't want to live the city grind anymore. People live here because skiing, mountain biking, hiking, camping and paddling are the life priority. Of course also pot lucks, dinners, parties and social events.

Everyone just finds whatever job that enables them to do those things, and the priority is life, not work. Working online is so common place now you can still earn a good salary if choose.

Hardly anyone works five days a week. Tons of people only work six months a year (ski the rest of the year!)

25 minutes from a great ski hill (that has no cell service), 5 minute ride to world-class mountain biking, 5 minute walk to a stunning lake for swimming/paddling.

Houses here cost 1/3 or 1/4 of what they do in a big city.

Think about the kind of life you want to live, and make it a priority.

> What is really the difference between Deno.KV being shipped as a standard library vs adding an `import KVService` statement at the top of the file?

The same difference between `#include "myStringMap.h"` and `map[string]string` in C vs.g Go. There is some advantage to everyone in an ecosystem using the same primitives. That kind of language-level standardization goes a long way.

For example, it might increase the ecosystem of available distributed system libraries that only need KV stores. If I can compose several libraries, all of which use the same underlying KV interface and implementation - I can imagine that might result in some interesting use-cases.

As for the rest of your comment, I would humbly ask if you read the entirety of my comment? We seem to agree that as long as Deno KV is locked into their cloud that people should be very wary of lock in. And I myself will likely avoid it for the time being until the dust settles. There is some chance the rest of the community will just come along and fill in the gaps on popular cloud platforms. Or maybe they won't. Time will tell.
Ehh, give it a few years.

Do you think there is any reason somebody might want to be credited for work they did other than having the ability to put it on their resume?
I guess I have a slightly different approach to my contributions. I really couldn’t care less who gets credit, I just want the bug fixed! I’m an OpenBSD user and I trust the core development team way more than myself. If Theo responded “I like my version better”, who am I to argue with that! :)
Pretty sure OP's comment assumed city life. In most rural and suburban USA towns, cars are the only thing that enables connection to others. If cars suddenly disappeared, half of America would effectively become hermits (not to mention starve due to lack of access to basic necessities like groceries).

Ending Car Dependence basically means move to a denser city, which you're never going to convince everyone to do.
It’s not crazy to suggest you need to balance labor demands with the demands of efficiently running a business.
Marketing sites are not documentation.
It costs a lot of money and time to find and vet suppliers from China. One way to avoid that is to use a service like Import Genius to find a competitor who has already vetted a Chines machine shop or factory, etc. The Chinese are more than willing to make you the same product they make for your competitor.

In your situation, you will probably need to get it done locally or do it yourself.

My only issue with running HA with docker is when I restart the machine, the docker container starts before my ZigBee dongle shows up in /dev/, which means all ZigBee devices are not accessible until I restarted the container. I ended up patching the docker unit file to add 2 minutes delay, but the patch will be reverted next time docker updated. I wonder if there is a better way to fix this.

I really don't understand the numpad-less trend of fashionable keyboards.

OK, I've read all the answers so far, in the hope that somebody had told you before, but no!

I don't use the numpad, so it's useless to me. But does it harm? In the case of these keyboards, not so much, except for the reason others have already explained of more distance for the mouse. I can live with it, but my next keyboard will be numpad-less for sure.

If we talk about laptops, that's a different story. Numpads for those are terrible, for me anyway.

They shift the center of the hands, that is between G and H, from the center of the laptop and thus the center of the screen, so your hands are in an unnatural position.

If you center an external wide keyboard, you get the same effect. I don't, but I try to use the GH line... "try" because the push from the mouse always tend to move it to the left.

So now you know, for some of us it's not a question of fashion, but usability :)
I hugely respect that you were able to bring this idea so far; it's something I've never been able to do. This is work that's 10x better than 95% of side projects or open source work people put on their resumes.

I'm always critical, so take that with a grain of salt.

Your origin story reminded me a lot of Airbnb's. Your motivation is slightly different, but not surprisingly, you're playing in the very, very crowded gig economy app space. Gofundme is pure charity. TaskRabbit is pure transactional odd-jobs. What you're doing is trying to blend the two. I have no idea how to market this.
They will have two types of reactors. First, large centralized reactors for DD fusion to make He3. These will be more expensive and challenging because of the neutron bombardment. The other for D-He3 fusion which will be for smaller sites and produces less neutron damage.

They will make the He-3 using D-D fusion reactors (which is not aneutronic) and waiting for collected tritium to decay into He-3 (12 years). In each shot, they have to remove the he3 and T to prevent them from reacting.

In the D-he3 reactors, they cannot fully prevent the side reactions of DD and DT. But they can minimize them by controlling the mixture of he3 and D in each shot and constantly extracting the T byproduct of D-he3. Basically, they will have high ratio of he3 to D ions so that all the D ions are likely to be used in D-he3 reactions. Removing and collecting the T in each shot removes the opportunity for D-T. It will probably work to an extent, but there will still be side reactions. The overall neutronicity will likely be in the 2-5 range in the D-He3 reactors.
> what marginal reforms would prevent a multinational conglomerate from enshittifying lightbulbs? Would you change the management structure? The ownership structure?

I’d remove sovereignty over the system from Philips. Consider mp3 or Arm. A balance of power. There the balance is between suppliers.

But let’s take the toughest case: you want to launch a system that users can trust long term, but you don’t have peer-level partners. (You also have executive authority at Philips.) First: divide standards writing from your corporate interests. You still want significant influence over the standard. But you want to remove the ability to make further changes unilaterally from your reports and successors. Universities are a natural partner in this; perhaps, also, a consumer-advocacy group. Second: give users clearly-defined and easily-marketed legal rights in respect of their devices.

The first added a public component to a limited section of your architecture. You’re not giving up profit, just control. (And future control, at that.) The second does threaten profits, but only in the long term; you’re leaning into management’s short-term profit incentives in both cases. Finally, to guard against the legal rights being curtailed by a future executive, build in a poison pill: if they’re reduced within certain parameters, certain IP becomes freely licenseable for repairs, et cetera. (I’d also add in engineering representation at the subsidiary’s Board level, perhaps with a separate ESOP package or whatever, but that’s likely more trouble than it’s worth.)

The above recapitulates the history of enlightened despots. Using absolute power to limit successors while giving balancing voices at the table. In Philips case, there was no ecosystem. No third-party developers of note. Users in insufficient numbers and organisation to pressure management. Betting on humans being good for goodness’ sake is a terrible philosophy, irrespective of how they’re organised.

And dare I say, had they done the above and created an ecosystem where they were a major—but not the dominant—player, there is a good chance I’d have their product in my house right now. By choosing a non-aligned model, Philips lost long-term value, both by sacrificing revenue and assuming the entire network’s development cost.

I think you're underestimating just how much tooling Deno has built-in. It's not just automatic TS compilation, but formatting, linting, testing, and benchmarking at the bare minimum. I use those for almost every project. Each of those would probably be at least another configuration file.

About Deno Deploy, I completely disagree with the analysis that it's just like any other lambda service. It's not just about easy deploys, the service itself is simply better. There are no cold starts and they don't just do that by keeping a vm up all the time. It's really magical. You should give it a second look.

1. You want or have a “serverless” function.
2. You want to add some sort of ML work to that serverless function.
3. The serverless function runs on a maimed browser environment (v8)

Specific examples… you have an API that takes a picture returns if there’s a hotdog in the picture. Or an API to generate images from customer input. Etc.

Why is this better or why does it make more sense? If you’re already using the above environment for your functions it makes sense to keep using it. In this way, you don’t have to manager or provision GPUs at all.

This is much more reasonable than the "paraphrased" reply in the blog post.

I think it's somewhat dishonest that the blog author used the quotation feature in his blog post, but instead of including a quote he made up his own response as if the kernel maintainer said it. I barely noticed this parenthetical above the gigantic block quote:

Anyone reading the blog post too fast would assume the kernel maintainer actually said those dismissive words in the gigantic block quote.

The beauty of a free market system is that if you feel that way, that the union bring mediocrity, you're not forced to deal with them. Start your own company that does not deal with the unions and bring in talent however you see fit. If unions really make things worse then congratulations, you've just created a more agile company that will certainly dominate in the marketplace.

> Finally even if they do succeed at paying above market salaries, that introduces a new question: who gets the job? Paying above a market salary will necessarily result in a lot more workers than available positions. So you have gatekeeping. That leads to cronyism as above market jobs are dolled out to friends and family.

This is not inherent to unions - this happens every day in non-union gigs. Not sure why you think non-union jobs are immune to cronyism and gatekeeping.

> A clear example of how destructive unions can be, take a look at police unions that regularly protect bad police.

Do you honestly think that the situation would be any different if police were non-union? This is a serious question - I really want to know if you think that the non-union police department would shoot fewer people than an all-union force.
