The fine article is useful in understanding the detailed behavior of the various components of the plastics.

The AFD is just attacking everything that the Greens propose. No constructive discussions at all, only populism. I fear that heat pumps will be the smaller „issue“ society will face in near future. The citizens are not yet ready for the necessary changes. Another problem is that Russia is trying to heat things up, too, not with the gas they provided, but with fake news campaigns in various medias. And yes, insulation is more important than the heating—-it can cut 80 percent of the bill for heating.

There are TONS of edible plants and trees that we don’t even consider because we buy one of the 3 types of lettuce sold.

Show HN: Stock Chart and Reddit-clone = facts in context
fnchart is basically: Stock Chart + Reddit.

We then build on top of that a whole new way to navigate historical posts, so that you can actually look and interact with a stock chart by pulling up news & discussion from any time in the history of the stock.

Here's a use-case scenario:
You're interested in stock AAA, but you notice on the chart that it fell 30% 2 years ago, and hasn't begun recovering yet. But today you read that they are embarking on a big turn around plan. So you click on the time period on the chart 2 years ago to find out what the cause of the drop was.

You find out it was a critical supplier that went bankrupt, and they have only now found a replacement.

Now you can decide whether to buy their stock or not, and you are informed about the context.

ABOUT US:
We are a team of 5 (4 coders and 1 graphics designer).

This has been an absolute labour of love for all of us on the project.

We have always believed that most people completely miss the context behind movement of stock prices. We wanted to build this platform to not only put stock price movement in context, but also to provide far richer depth of information.

We also hope that financial journalists take advantage of our platform to discover story ideas, and to be able to use our direct messaging to reach out to experts directly, to get further details on a possible lead.

In the future we will also allow users to see levels of engagement on various posts, so a journalist can get a sense of how popular a topic is before committing to write a full story on it.

You didn't do that.

If you want to directly claim that Sam did something illegal you need to show or say that.

Instead, what you did, is just point to someone else who did something illegal, and then criticize that other person, while vaguely implying that the criticism applies to Sam.

But the criticism doesn't apply to Sam, because you didn't demonstrate that Sam did anything illegal.
That's because the english notion of informal/formal is a poor fit for the modern, symmetric use of T-V.

It's more of a social distance, with V-form for people outside the personal sphere, and T-form for people outside the public sphere.

So, as an atheist, I'd use V-form* with the Christian God, but His Believers really ought to be using T-form with Him.

I feel like this must be fading because I lived in North Yorkshire for almost 5 years and never heard a thee/thou used. On the other hand, English dialects are hyper localized so there might be villages where it is normal.
The propaganda is in controlling the dials/levers of what is seen which gives an artificial sense of prevalence. You can tell any story you want- make elderly people beating up young people trend more and people will think it's a common occurrence.

Essentially a more sophisticated BASIC

Absolutely wrong.

PASCAL was invented by Professor Niklaus Wirth at ETH Zurich specifically for teaching structured programming, circa 1970 (year of first release). It's a descendant of ALGOL (1960), which was pretty much the first structured programming language and introduced functions that could be recursively invoked -- ALGOL is the ancestor of C and PL/I as well as Pascal and relatives (Modula-2, Oberon, etc) and is hugely important.

BASIC came out of Dartmouth College in the US in the mid-sixties and the emphasis was on interactive invocation: early BASIC was almost completely non-structured (GOTO for flow of control, minimal subroutines, IF statements with no ELSE).

While both Pascal and BASIC were intended as teaching languages, they took radically different views of what to teach. And Python is different again: Python has the virtue of a simple and consistent core syntax, but wasn't designed for teaching -- it was designed for scripting, and was developed in the early 1990s for computers with 2-3 orders of magnitude more resources than early BASIC and Pascal.

Object Pascal/Delphi (Delphi was Borland's proprietary implementation with RAD for Windows) is an outgrowth of Borland's Turbo Pascal from the early 1980s, which in turn took Wirth's Pascal and added some essentials that had been missing -- notably dynamically allocated strings, modules, and finally object encapsulation -- that made it much more suitable for writing serious code: for a while Turbo Pascal was a viable competitor for C on MS-DOS.

But Pascal is in no way related to BASIC.

By now there seem to exist many different llms that perform almost as good as OpenAI’s gpt 3.5.

But what is the sota of adopting llms for the use with custom or „live“ data?

I know OpenAI has function calling, and a vector db like pinecone can somehow be used as a knowledge base to introduce more context to the query, or response.

Are there other methods to make the open source llms more useful if you have a huge amount of data?
Xojo is full of bugs. https://ifnotnil.com was set up after Xojo banned users for complaining...

Xojo also compiles to Web Apps. But to compile to all those targets means creating a
- Project for Desktop ( Mac/Win/Lin/Rasp )
- Project for iOS
- Project for Android
- Project for Web

So, four different Projects instead of one Project. You can create externals to share code between projects.

I used Xojo shortly after it became available under the name "REALbasic" back when you could only compile to Desktop. Web, iOS, Android were later added.

I spent a ton of time on Web 1.0, but Xojo replaced it with Web 2.0 with no upgrade path, practically requiring a rewrite.

So I now code my Web Apps with PHP. While I really wanted to keep using Xojo, the lack of quality just got worse and worse. The only bugs I encounter now are my own. If Xojo was as tight as PHP, I'd still be using Xojo!

The maximum width of a line from the first printing character to the last should be limited to about 40 characters.

The absolute line length should not be subject to a hard limit.

This is because code indents:

------
-----
-----
------
------
------

What I don't want to be obnoxiously long is any of the ----- content itself, regardless of how much or how little indentation is in front of it.

I don't like ridiculous nesting, but imposing some hard limit like 80 columns or 100 is counterproductive; let that naturally limit itself.

When confronted with these limits, programmers do ugly things, like start using shorter and shorter lines at deeper nesting levels, those lines being awkwardly split to fit:

fun(arg, // 80th column here
arg, //
term + //
term + //
term); //

Please, just go over 80 and write fun(arg, arg, term + term + term)!

The counterargument is that if you ever have to produce hard copy, it's good if the code sticks to reasonable number of columns. I think we are past the era where people bring hardcopies of code to code reviews, though. We also care about code histories a lot more; printing out a program on paper is no longer considered a viable way to preserve it for future generations, since it loses the change history.
Complaining about this as well, I think entering day/month with keyboard is fine but the website completely freezes upon entering year and skips some digits entirely after many seconds of waiting.

> Hundreds of feet underground, in a long-dormant portion of Chiquita Canyon landfill, tons of garbage have been smoldering for months due to an enigmatic chemical reaction.

It doesn't sound enigmatic. It sounds like anaerobic respiration:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_respiration

> ... In aerobic organisms undergoing respiration, electrons are shuttled to an electron transport chain, and the final electron acceptor is oxygen. Molecular oxygen is an excellent electron acceptor. Anaerobes instead use less-oxidizing substances such as nitrate (NO3), fumarate (C4H2O24), sulfate (SO24), or elemental sulfur (S). These terminal electron acceptors have smaller reduction potentials than O2. Less energy per oxidized molecule is released. Therefore, anaerobic respiration is less efficient than aerobic.

In short, heavy rainfall in the last year combined with decades of organic waste disposal in the landfills (think yard trimmings, discarded food, and other organic matter) have resulted in an enormous, uncontrolled underground anaerobic respiration problem in Southern California.
>> The scorching temperatures within Chiquita Canyon Landfill have caused pressure to build inside the 639-acre facility and forced contaminated water to burst onto the surface.

I found that visual both gross and hilarious - in a tragic kind of way. It highlights how dumb some parts our modern world are. To think we can dump 7000 tons a day into a hole and figure that'll be just fine! And that's just one landfill... I don't have any solutions to offer, but just wow ;-)

Nuclear is the least bad idea and electricity prices have nothing to do with Putin's war. But sure, you are right that nuclear is very expensive but it doesn't have to be that way; plus: there are a lot of countries changing their minds here at this point.

I am not against renewables, I am for keeping our senses.

An example of something that just isn't sensible: Fueling my electric car with energy derived from coal, stored in batteries basically built by satan. (Read about the mines.) For decades, we stopped developing nuclear power because of confused environmental groups. (And against: I am not a coal thumper and definitely a green person!)

Electricity prices have basically increased five-fold at least, here. And it gets worse every years. When the wind stops, we run coal, oil and gas plants here that are extremely expensive and also destroy the environment. Instead of nuclear that we use to have.

This isn't exactly correct, because of the differences between the countries. China and Taiwan are completely different with a different set of populations. Taiwan was colonized by Japan, and thus industrialized up until WW2 was over. Then it got an influx of the richer and more educated class from China after the '49 revolution. In addition to that Chiang Kaishek took most if not all of China's gold reserves and placed it in Taiwan, thus taking all of China's wealth that it had and allowing it to service a mere 20M+ population, rather than 500M people left in China who no longer had any reserves to trade with the world. Taiwan is much smaller in geography therefore infrastructure building requires less capital, and population was much higher educated from the get go, so it can't serve as a direct comparison.

Japan was already industrialized prior to WW2, and was basically complete in its industrialization by around WW1 if not earlier by a couple decades.

S. Korea could serve as a comparison, but there's a big difference in that it got massive influx of foreign investment from the US, with a major reason being that it serve as outpost against Communism spreading.

When the geopolitical situation started to change between US and China in the late 60s-early 70s, Mao sensed it and already started to have talks with the US as seen with Nixon + Kissinger, which later became the foundation that allowed the influx of foreign capital into the country. Prior to this, China was basically like NK today, with absolutely no outside support whatsoever, with an economy, infrastructure, etc., which includes even basic stuff like irrigation destroyed from civil war, WW2, etc. It was extremely capital deficient. People act like China prior to '49 was some wonderland, and that once the Communist came in, they destroyed everything and therefore there was mass starvation. Not really. China sucked prior to '49, and reading e.g. some statistics from American sinologists like e.g Jonathan Spence, you know that the basic peasant (which represented the large majority of China's population) daily diet consisted of almost no meat, and simply what they called gruel, every day of the year. A peasant normal diet would simply be e.g. sweet potatoes flour mixed with water everyday with maybe some vegetables.
I live in California and benefit greatly from incredible local produce, but someone in Alabama does not. Trade has allowed everyone to enjoy the best of each region, while giving up some of their own.

After using sccache and Gradle with Buildless for months, years, I have literally never seen these tools mixup or use the wrong binary objects.

Knowing the internals of some of them, I’ve found that build cache clients are way more likely to miss with a cache key misalignment than they are to mixup two objects. I’m sure it’s possible, I’ve just never seen it happen in the wild, after extensive usage.

Generally speaking these tools are very conservative about two inputs matching: an identical file at a different path will cause a cache key change in sccache.
