> you can get the best features of Haskell in Python

Haskell's best features relative to more mainstream languages are HM-style type inference, higher-kinded types, and typeclasses - none of which are possible in a language without real static types.
They have a history of looking at things like this and cross referencing the data points with known protestors or online figureheads to build files against them. It makes it easier to dismiss a case when you can build a narrative that someone is mentally unwell or biased, or to incite action by making them out to be a threat. The protesters against Atlanta's Cop City who were charged with RICO violations had such a case built against them by using their communications on social media for example.

How quickly does heat naturally increase in a house that's been cooled like that?

I've only lived in apartments, but I guess it gets back to equilibrium with outside temperature in a few hours once AC is turned off. I guess a couple hours of cheap cooling in the middle of the day might save an hour of expensive cooling later, if it's timed right. I'm interested if there have been any studies or maths to back it up and quantify the effectiveness.

All: if you're going to post in this thread, please make sure you're up on the site guidelines at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and that your comment is strictly within them.

That especially means two things here: being kind, and not using the thread to do battle. If you're not able to stick to that, that's fine, but in that case please don't post.

What does be kind mean in a context like this? Many things, but here's one in my view: it means finding a place in your heart for the humanity of the other—whoever the other happens to be for you.

That isn't easy but it's the spirit we want here. If you can't find it in yourself, that's understandable, but on this topic, please only post if you can.

I read all three and had enough hope at the beginning to push through. I really hated the second person, the stream of consciousness prose, the random all-caps, and the relentlessly bleak tone. I think NK Jimison may be a talented writer but the style drove me nuts and the story went nowhere.

Reading the replies is making me rethink my initial comment. There a lot of people rushing to defend the books, so maybe it's just not for me. Perhaps I overestimated the impact of the social context on the outcome.

How accurate is sound localization?
Well… by setting the clock time to sub-microsecond accuracy on a Raspberry Pi which is recording audio, I’m able to localize explosions to within a small car park from more than 3 1/2 km away.
I really like this proposal. Just last night, I was reading an EPUB of The Hobbit and clicked on a footnote, which instructed me to refer to page 24. It turned out that it meant page 24 of the printed edition of the book, which was in the first chapter of the book. Page 24 in the EPUB was still part of the prologue. So I had no idea which page it was referencing. As it stands, my Kobo has an increased font size, so I notice that I can flip the page a few times and still be on page 4 before it finally turns to page 5, which I assume is referencing the pages of the written text. This is a nice compromise, but doesn't solve the issue with the hard coded footnote being misleading.

I wonder if we could instead look at religious texts such as the Bible (e.g. John 3:16) and code editors (e.g. Ln 4, Col 12) for referencing locations in reflowable text. The same way you can jump to a footnote in a document should allow you to have an actionable reference to a specific location anywhere in the text. But I don't think the text should be stylized like how the Bible has the numbers (e.g. 16) scattered within the text itself. Those should probably be hidden within the text and leave the reading software to display the first line number of the page down at the bottom instead of the page number. That might look like "4" the same as it currently does, but this 4 references a section of the text rather than a page number. Perhaps it could be togglable for greater detail and display word 23 of section 4 as "4:23". Or maybe it could consider the chapter too. For example, chapter 2 section 4, word 23 would look like "2, 4:23". This might get funky in a Terry Pratchett novel, but it would hopefully allow for easier discussion of exact parts in a document and significantly easier linking.

I love the interactive code example for marking up The Rust Programming Language. That gets at what I was saying above although is more targeted at a document than referencing parts of a novel.

Nearly have my own solar, I'm wondering if there's a way to do a home thermal battery like this (although for me might not be necessary, as I've also got a battery...)

Like - if I put a water tank under the house, can I cool it (summers) / heat it (winters) as both a backup water supply, and thermal sink? And have that also work to help maintain house temperatures?

Why would someone be using their phone while driving? Is this something I'm too European to understand? Literally never occured to me to do that, and I haven't ever been in a car where someone did it.

Obvious exceptions being to look at a message while stopped at a traffic light or other safe location, or having the navigation app open with the phone fixed to the dashboard and otherwise not interacting with it.

> I'd like to see the the energy density of petrol for comparison.

Petrol's higher energy density doesn't matter as much as people think.

Electric vehicles are around four times as efficient as petrol. In a petrol car, only 20% of the energy is converted to motion. In electric cars, this is around 80% (with some variation dependent on regenerative braking). I wrote about this extensively in a previous article: https://www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/electrification-en...
Why is that the case if they are next door and tying into the same line? They require identical infrastructure.
WordPress famously used LiteSpeed (and still does) and the only benefit I know of from the time is that LS has a much better PHP SAPI than fcgi with php-fpm. But now we have nginx unit with native php support (no fcgi), which halves the php-fpm base latency and can be run standalone or behind nginx (via an http proxy over tcp or preferably a Unix socket) so the advantages of an LS (or OLS) configuration are probably non-existent.
Electron is fine.

Their sin was using coffeescript and having one of the most unresponsive editors.
This is discussed in the article, and you’re making a much more provocative claim which the author does not advance. They specifically mention civil liberties as a concern and the one proposal specifically mentioned would involve cameras identifying drivers visibly using their phones, which requires no hacking whatsoever. The obvious measure would be standardizing the process of police asking drivers about phone use in every crash, which again has no civil liberties concerns.

It also seems like Apple and Google should have a roll as trusted third parties. The phone could save a short activity log (basically the same things screen time apps record: was the device unlocked, active, last touch event, etc.) any time car play is active or the accelerometer records hard deceleration with a secure way to share that with the police so you can be confident all you’re giving them is evidence that you weren’t looking at Tik Tok 20s before the collision.

So it's just you I'm afraid.

The CAISO (California independent system operator) website has really good visualization that's updated frequently. For example, yesterday (2024-01-25) the net demand in the afternoon dropped to as low as 3.3GW. Then within about three hours the net demand increased to 23GW.

It's also obvious that the net demand trend only subtracts utility-scale solar that is directly visible to the utilities. Home solar has definitely dampened demand and this is apparent in the demand curve.
FWIW, since it is so easy to include extensions, I think you made the right choice. That said, for the project I want to try HTMX out on, I will definitely be trying out idiomorph swapping. Sounds novel and useful.
If we wrote software to do this, but we were so incompetent that we couldn't fill in the model with correct data, we might just say "who gives a fuck, fill that with random garbage and we'll fix it in a later version".

Why not display a Recent Phone Use option when both side buttons of an Apple device is pressed?

* Medical ID

Report would be high-level -- has phone been unlocked in last 30 minutes, if so, timestamps showing when it was unlocked, for how long, how many finger taps occurred, etc.

That would give law enforcement a quick indication of whether phone was in use. Of course if there are passengers it could be contested. For more detail, they'd have to subpoena as they do now.
California utilities break rates down into territories, so someone in San Jose does have different rates than Sierra foothills.

My understanding is this based more off weather-driven demands (Marin has much less AC needs than Davis), but still, there are regional differences in pricing.

Here's the real crux of what you're suggesting though: utilities are extremely regulated in what they can do, so it's quite possible the utilities commission said they can do price discrimination off of regional load differences but not off of a more nebulous "grid impact / risk score". The latter opens up all sorts of thorny equity questions (eg is what you're describing just redlining poorer rural communities through another mechanism?)

RSS is just XML, so in theory you can extend it as much as you want, including all the necessary extra bits of info for future events.

The problem, of course, is that most RSS-consuming tools don't recognise custom namespaces. Still, if you're targeting people who will write their own feed-parsing tools, it can probably work fine.

Except SA specifically asked the court to require a ceasefire, which would have immediate consequences via security council vote and no more munitions landing in Israel. And the judges voted it down

This isn't a read between the lines situation, because SA's request was specifically for the court to temporarily rule for a full immediate ceasefire until the larger case could be heard

What is interesting here is that by mis-reading the verdict like yourself, and Israel assuming the worst, both sides immediately came out saying today was a huge win. So at least we have that, everyone (but the Palestinians, who aren't a side in this case) is happy

Do you fall under the rules defining "militia" in your state? If so you may be, to an outside observer, no different from a soldier of the US Army acting without orders in the commission of what would almost certainly be called war crimes.

could you legally travel to the border of one of these states and begin firing weapons at them?

If the hostile motivation is the same, why should there be any difference in the reaction to it? You wanna impede their country, its government, its citizens from the normal pursuit of their life: whether you do so by kinetic weapon or by assaulting their digital civil infrastructure.

If you choose to pursue private wars, do so on your own; and please loudly disclaim the involvement of the rest of your neighbors when you do.

See below, from https://thejesuitpost.org/2023/04/catholic-101-transubstanti...
This seems clear enough to me, and can be summed up by saying that Catholics believe that they are literally eating the body of Christ.

... “transubstantiation” refers to a change in which the substance of a thing—what it really is—changes, while its physical characteristics do not. Of course, this sort of change only occurs in the Eucharist, which, though it appears to remain bread and wine throughout the Mass, nevertheless truly becomes the flesh and blood of Jesus.

I'll be very happy when Preview 3 with async support is out.

GC + async makes WASM a suitable runtime for languages like JavaScript and Dart so that we don't have to have JS + WASM runtimes where the JS doesn't integrate with WASI well, or WASI runtimes that don't support JS that well (compiling SpiderMonkey to WASM isn't great).

So, not only were they on their phone and reportedly didn't cause the collision, nobody even asked if they were on their phone and therefore nobody found out, presumably because they didn't cause the collision.
