In my experience, the urge to refactor everything stems from one or a few really really badly coded features that waft their smell to the rest of the codebase.

The limited from-scratch refactor can be painful in the short term, but after it’s done you realize how much more manageable other features are because you’re no longer mentally burdened by the worst of the codebase.

In discussing this issue with the EMT and paramedic students I teach, absolutely this.

"If your life had descended to a point where you had to go to the bathroom in an alley and use scrap paper to wipe, or were eating your lunch that you fetched from a trash can on the street in the rain, there's a good chance you would use opioids to numb the pain of that existence, too."

One of the major limitations of wind power in England is that new onshore wind farms are very difficult to construct if not totally illegal in England. This is probably part of the reason for the situation another commenter noticed: most UK offshore is currently in England's territorial waters. But another reason is due to shortfalls in the physical interconnection between the Scottish and English power grids. UK must construct additional pylons.

There's also major potential for wind farms in Wales, although it's been controversial since some of the sites are on top of peat bogs or scenic hills.

>Scotland finally leaves (I am still certain it will happen in my lifetime).

Scotland could aim for a Channel Islands-type arrangement where they still enjoy an economic union without an administrative one. That would be similar to the situation that existed before the Acts of Union. Of course, they're quite a bit bigger than Jersey, so it could be tricky.

The Rance tidal power station [1] in France has been operating since 1966 so I don't think that there are technical issues, at least with this type of tidal power generation (ie. a dam across a tidal estuary and good old turbines to produce electricity). That specific power station doubles as a much needed road bridge, as well.

I think this actually helps Tesla in that department in another way - By everyone switching to NACS the entire fleet of CCS is now an adapter away. People will just default to NACS chargers...that will by majority be Tesla. Then Tesla can reinvest in charging stations with this new money and flood the market. Tesla could wholly snuff the market out while the companies are busy retrofitting chargers with Tesla's own plug.
I seem to recall reading something that said there is an effective does of phenylephrine, if you take it by itself, 2x the dose works, but if you take it with other meds, it might be ok by itself. Something about the stomach acid neutralizing it. Might help to take it with food too.

The house itself is a depreciating asset just like a car.

It's the land under the house that appreciates in value.

If you want to reduce that land value appreciation, here are two good ideas:

Land value taxes help to discourage the hogging of land while encouraging construction, which in turn dampens the price of land.

Removing restrictive zoning polices means that the demand for land is decreased, thus dampening the price of the land.

This. Jensen (Nvidia CEO) is being a bit humble here given the massive investments the company has made into CUDA for the past decade. Now they're simply reaping the benefits. Sure, ChatGPT's arrival last year was the spark but arguably it was inevitable sooner or later.

Case in point: Nvidia has been hosting "GPU Conferences" annually to build awareness and drive adoption of CUDA. These events surely aren't free to host but necessary to build momentum and give an edge to your custom stack.

Luck is more applicable to the cryptomining boom and bust cycles that Nvidia also profited from. Their gaming GPUs (along with AMD's) just happened to be the best available at the proof of work.

this is so cool :) one other question for async Rust experts...

is it trivial to replace every use of the #[async_trait] with this, once it releases? async_trait was just a macro for adding a bunch of `Box<Pin<dyn Future<Output = BlahBlah> + OtherJunk>` and so on and so on.

Is async_trait entirely obsolete now, or are there still situations where async_trait must be used, where builtin async will not?

edit: if I read one more paragraph I would have seen the answer, it's right there in the post :)

Thanks, I wasn't aware of resh. (They don't call it "re.sh"?)

If I'm reading the resh page correctly, they search the history of the commands you've run, but don't store or allow searching of the command output, or do any of the other historical features hucksh offers.

Also, it appears that all such searching happens server-side; in hucksh it's all client-side. If you have a fast connection, that admittedly wouldn't matter much; where I live, I'm on cellular or satellite and sometimes the latency suuuucks.

Would you care to speculate on what price-point would work for you? Everywhere else I've posted (mostly Reddit) I've offered a discount code. I saw zero guidance about that in the "Show HN" rules or guidelines, and I didn't want to be banned, so I didn't mention it. But happy to offer one here if it's okay to offer.

Honestly, yes. I had a deep skepticism of a lot of VC-backed moonshots/SPACs in 2021. However, it’s hard to deny that these moonshots were at least aimed in the right direction — way more capital going to EVs, biotech, quantum computing, etc. You get some frauds in the mix (Nikola), but it’s socially utile to have a few of these projects gaining traction instead of highly profitable zombies.

ZIRP also seemed to be shifting investment tides toward green projects and away from oil. The new regime has allowed pollution to continue, and powered tyrannical governments like Saudi Arabia.
The effect from the nasal spray is fast and quite strong. Sometimes it even hurts, but there are days when having a very dry nose is the better option.
Withholding water, food, medicines for 2.3mil civilians for over 75 days, 1.1 mil children has nothing to do with fighting the enemy. It is only targeting civilians of whom thousands have died.

And this is not collateral damage. It is intentional as Netanyahu comparing Palestinians to Amalek (google it) means destroying all of them: „killing the women, children, even the unborn.“. Gallant compared them to human animals and then said, he‘ll cut water(!), food, medicines. Herzog says „there are no innocents in Gaza“, saying: all of them are targets. IDF dropping leafelets: leave north or you are considered combatant. Israel has effectively made all hospitals inoperational, shoots old women in churches lately, promting the Pope for a comment, saying „this is terrorism“.

So what are you trying to prove with your whataboutism? Yes, Assad was worse, but Israel is a western all and needs to act civilised, and apparently it is just taking revenge as there seems no clear strategy as to what it tries to achieve by even the withholding water and food! Let alone stopping ambulance, letting people die inside. Or snipers shooting inside hospitals. And what I said was that mainstream German newspapers and media will never report about these details.

So please stop your hasbara. Please stop downplaying Palestinian victims.
No app gets special treatment for any of the user-grantable permissions like location, Bluetooth, local network access, contacts, photos...

What makes this any different? It really seems more like an oversight than a conscious decision, similarly to how (I believe) both iOS and Android have retroactively had to bucket some of the Bluetooth LE permissions into "location", since that's what you can effectively do with them.

> I love the idea of having a database of the commands you’ve run and their output.

Once upon a time, I rigged... I can't recall if I did it in tmux or the shell profile, but I made my system spawn every new shell under script(1) by default (with some logic to check that you weren't already nested to avoid infinite loops, and some way to start a shell that didn't use it just in case), which resulted in a nice directory with text files listing every terminal session i had. I think it ended up not being all that useful and there was either real or perceived performance impact so I didn't bother implementing it again when I switched machines, but the idea did seem neat.
Doesn't matter. If you drive into a slow-moving or stationary object then it's your fault in every sense. If you are driving too closely and are not ready to react to the vehicle in front doing an emergency stop for any reason then it's your fault in every sense.

Most human drivers I observe are taking huge chances every single day. I see them drive at speed around corners they can't see around fully, driving far too closely to cars front, using their phone etc. They get lucky but it's only a matter of time before they have accidents. The three incidents recorded here are simply due to three humans' luck running out.

No, it can’t go to infinity, and in fact, we are only limited by the USA population plus anyone who can immigrate. Are you suggesting that Seattle build its way out of the nation’s homeless problem on its own?

Men can stay home and that's the point: we don't see men volunteering to be the stay-at-home parent because there's no incentive for them. We assume being mom is the pinnacle of female existence because we ignore the reality that all humans have goals and independent needs. Maybe your wife is special and thinks she needs nothing else and get cup is filled only by pouring herself out into the cups of others until she's empty. Maybe your local community days the same thing out loud. But I bet if you asked your wife if she ever felt like she'd like to do have something for herself, something that let her feel like individual she once was, she'd probably have some comments and ideas. Perhaps explore that a bit.

The reason I asked is that I've tried the OTC decongestant sprays (which I believe have phenylephrine in them?) some years ago, and they've worked damn well. I don't really believe that the sprays don't work, if that's the claim. But I don't know enough to tell whether the phenylephrine in particular has any effect, and I didn't memorize the ingredient lists of the ones I've bought and tried.
Thanks, that's weird. The ones in the post are clickable on my end.
It all depends on the definition of empty. I take a practical approach: if there isn't someone sleeping in that unit regularly, it is empty. If I walk my dog through a neighborhood and see countless dark/cold apartments, ones where nobody has seen a light turn on in years and the mail either piles up or has been stopped, those are empty.

Others take different approaches. Some are of the view that a unit is not empty so long as it is listed as someone's "primary residence", irrespective of whether they actually sleep there.
I'm including Uber and Lyft in "taxi", i.e., driving service on demand. Replacing a personal car with Uber and Lyft is too expensive for most people, and the basic economic reason is that a human driver must be paid. But in a few years self-driving taxis will be cheaper than taxis with human drivers. At that point, a larger and larger share of the population will stop buying cars and will just take self-driving taxis.

There is a problem with the studies these pharmacists are referencing. They are measuring nasal resistance, however, the measurement is not sufficient to capture the combination of things that make up nasal resistance. It's a combination of how much mucus is being secreted vs the degree of sinus inflammation.

New theory: Allergy sufferers are likely primarily experiencing sinus inflammation. Pseudoephedrine is the better solution for that. For those of us who are dealing with secretion - phenylephrine is effective.

>so they have little interest in allowing any new construction that could be viewed as lowering their property values

This logic is so backwards on behalf of homeowners it’s unreal. Which cities are associated with out of control house prices?

SF, New York, Toronto…

What do these cities have a lot of? Housing. Increasing population density increases the tax base, which increases the level and quality of services which increases property values.

This trend shows no sign of reversal AFAIK
Yeah. I can absolutely believe that NVIDIA saw the potential for GPUs (and associated software) that went beyond hardcore gaming nerds building their own PCs. But HPC generally was not a very profitable market for most vendors and I don't really believe that crypto and LLMs as they have played out to date was especially foreseeable at a detailed level.
