These exist. I am on the fence about buying the $600 one for experimentation and repurposing it to heat/cool garage. Many have heat/cool functionality. You can put the air side either inside or outside.

My idea is to do some ground source heat pump supplemented by solar thermal water heating to get lots of free BTUs. The issue (for the $600 one) is it can only cool the water down to 46F. Recall that cooling water means heating air (inside). But heating water goes down to I think 23F. Decisions will have to be made.

I maintain a large codebase, widely deployed, cross compiled to many cpu architecures that's built atop musl. You're right that historically in the context of people blindly using alpine for their container base that sort of thing might be the case. The newest version of musl solves the thing you're describing and in general most of the complaints about malloc perf or otherwise have been addressed. Avoiding musl to me seems like an outdated trope, but there was a time wherein that take was valid indeed.
It seems a good way for the user to highlight what changes he wants. But, is it easy for the creator to identify what each user wants? it seems complicated

I've always found it an oddly moot point whether humans caused climate change. If the climate changes past habitability, we won't be less dead because we didn't cause it, although I suppose it should let you know whether you could hope to change anything by changing human activity, but with various countries not agreeing and the problem of getting the entire race doing one thing, etc., I think we (or a decent subset of rich countries) would have to do some kind of large scale intervention besides trying to change human activity, like massive carbon capture.

You can't have someone be an effective leader in the company who doesn't believe in the mission anymore. As the leader now, you need to give them the speech that as you build this company, people are going to get on the bus and people are going to get off the bus. We value their contributions and everything they did to help us build the company. You can get through this.

I think people weren't confused because its details were covered repeatedly by the news, not because the name was clear. I, for instance, figured a name called "The Defense of Marriage" act would be defending everyone's right to be married. It does the opposite. So count me as someone that considers that name misleading.
Doesn't linking everything statically imply that the base image -- and memory, at runtime -- will be bloated by many copies of libc and other common libraries? I do like the simplicity of static linking but it sort of seems to go against the idea of avoiding "bloat".
Or you can use Lead Acid, which actually likes being at 100% perpetually.

Not just syphilis. Tropical diseases like yellow fever and malaria decimated european settlers for centuries. That's a large part of why Haiti could break free from France for instance, France would send troops, half of which were dead within months from diseases.

That's also what protected inland parts of Africa from colonisation until the XIX century.
Why do you think people should be talking about that more? I would think people aren't talking about it much because, well, it's kind of obvious.
About Wasm and WASI, I'll try ( and probably fail ) to escape the HN stereotype so please forgive me.

I've been more of less following this for a decade ( since asm.js ), I still fail to see a practical use for this. And I mean a generalized use in real products and systems that stand the test of being an actual economically viable product, not cool demos which running Doom is probably the best one from a technical perspective.

For SO MUCH effort over a decade I feel it's more and more a nerd kingdom where it's full "of cool things" and much more work on creating and resolving problems that were solved years and decades ago and I still miss the point of all of this, I get the "big promise" but 10 years have passed and still nothing.

Also, I see a lot of Rust ( and I mean a lot ) attached to Wasm. Sorry but it's not going to happen, it just isn't. Rust is a systems programming language and Wasm has been pretty much another eternal tech demo. Real "mid" - as the gen-z says - use cases and products are needed and Rust is not going to cut it for a general product audience. This whole thing seems more like a "Run Rust in the browser" than a common runtime to run every language in the browser.

And since "running stuff on the browser" is kinda of old news, these new "wasm runtimes" ( which I get it and support ) in reality are basically a basic shitty proto-JVM.. again what's the point of all of this having spend 10 years?

The "devx" ( always a sucker for a new marketing term :) ) is HORRIBLE! Ever tried to compile a moderately complex ( and useful ) C program to wasm?

On a positive note, I wish success to Wasm/WASI because it's a cool idea and can open a lot of doors. If not for the actual reality and implementation of things, I'm optimistic about the general idea.

Sorry for my "ignorance" and if I hurt anyone's feelings.
Exactly.

OP made him a "founder", but he wasn't a founder. Not in his heart. He played along for a while, but it wasn't in it. Founders need an attachment to their companies like it's their child... this was a step-parent, and not a good one.

Now, the question is, why did you make someone who wasn't a co-founder, a co-founder? Was OP overwhelmed? Lonely? Lacked confidence? Wanted someone else to have the same level of attachment and passion for the company? Trying to trap/guilt them from leaving with the title? None of those justify the action. OP F-ed up here at #4.

1- not to diminish real step-parents, that step-up and put in the work, and earn it. Lucky to have met someone who did IRL.
This. I do a fair bit of profession photography, though not enough to go full time at it and I'm almost never gear limited. You can do an awful lot with very basic kit. Do I sometimes want to get a particular look or effect that requires a specialized lens or additional lighting? Sure. But in those cases, gear needs are driven by artistic needs and not the other way round.
Aww, thank you! Who are you, lovely anonymous friend?

It’s not uncommon for efficient commercial buildings like corporate headquarters to have a retention pond be the heat sink for their chillers in the summer. They’re building a pond for aesthetics anyway, so if it’s large enough this can be cost effective vs. digging geothermal wells.

Than the epub standard as it exists. I guess I don't understand what the advantage here is, really. If you want to make an epub file that works universally, you can do that, within the existing standard. If makers of reading systems and software would actually support the full standard, which they currrently don't. If you don't want to use pdfs, don't use pdfs. pdfs get used for a lot of things they aren't actually very good for.
A big pit works fine if you remove the legs from a standard trampoline. The downside is that you do not feel like you are bouncing as high, because you don't get to start with the extra 4 feet in elevation.
A small point on that last bit. The bearssl authors are pretty conservative when it comes to development milestones, I'd guess that their 0.6 would be pretty solid :)
Agreed, if the binary is statically linked. If you run `file` on the output from that and it shows 'dynamically linked' then you're playing games with porting over libraries, changing the library loading path, or just going full chroot like linux from scratch does with the bootstrapping part of the install. I find static binaries simplest to work with in that context but agreed I use that pattern too with docker and generally build ad-hoc tools within containers like that. If only these devices could run docker but I'm left to my own tooling to figure out per device.
I use a nanoVNA for analyzing antennas. Cool tip is you can tether it to an Android device and get a bigger, nicer touch screen.
Nope, the calcs above assume all NSF work is important, and they show how little work they do as a % of all the work. Then as a % if we assumed 90% of all work (keeping all NSF work important) wasn't important.

To calculate a %, both the numerator and denominator have to be the same units.
I get the distinct vibe this person has never wanted to be a damn co-founder and instead was hounded into it by a friend who doesn't take no for an answer.

If someone said "You still have an employee mindset" to me I don't think I could stop myself saying something like "that's all I wanted. I wanted work to do and a paycheck to get from it. You elevated me to a position I didn't want and are mad I don't want it."
if you're a developer and dependent on mac you're probably building "the next big saas" in "the next big tech company" which will fail in few years.

a developer tool should be available on ALL platforms and specially Linux, if a tool is not available in linux no one will adapt it no matter how shiny it is.
I've done multiple 3 day, multiple 5 day, and two 10 day fasts. The only intake in these was water and electrolyte stacks, and in one of the 10 days there was bone broth taken 2-3 times per day. All of these were self-induced without medical oversight, and the impetus was weight loss and testing myself.

To keep the take-aways short, here's what I found:

1. Do not attempt to do any sort of exercises that require real exertion (slow walking is fine) while doing fasting of any kind, and I would (given my experience with ketogenic diets) extend this to keto as well, especially when lifting weights. Despite what some liars and/or freaks will tell you, you cannot be fasted or ketogenic and maintain quality performance.

2. The 3 days are probably fine if you do them with a couple of months in between if you have other goals you're working on (like building muscle). Doing them every week will minimize any other fitness goals that you may have.

3. The 5 days and over left me feeling tired, but the tiredness would come in hard waves. For instance it was not uncommon to want to immediately fall asleep at random hours of the day only to feel wide awake at 2am the next day. Just being hungry messes with your sleep, and I suspect (but have not confirmed) that it probably messes with your circadian rhythm.

4. I lost more cumulative weight running two 3-day fasts than I did with one 10-day fast. This was confirmed against both of my 10-days. Most will attribute this to water weight, however in the +5-6 days after the fast ended I was still lighter with the cumulatives.

5. There were only a couple of times where I got that euphoric feeling that many claim to get, and that was only in the first two fasts I did. All subsequent fasts did not produce this.

6. In the last 5-day+ fast I did I experienced some weird neuropathy in both legs and hands, despite being fully hydrated and taking electrolytes. I immediately broke fast and felt better and have not experienced any neuropathy since.

7. I no longer do long term fasts, instead opting for intermittent fasting (16:8) daily for several reasons, coupled with not eating bread or pasta. This seems to have much better and more sustainable results.

musl is significantly smaller and "less bloat" than glibc, so even with a statically linked program, it still remains small in both system memory and storage.
I would think it would be obvious why consumers should care about a handful of corporations acting like feudal lords and controlling what smaller developers can do, technically or economically. To spell it out: because you are affected. In the best case scenario, only the Apple tax is passed on to you. In the worst case, the app you get will be discreetly censored at Apple's whims [1,2,3].

But of course you can rely on altruistic developers willing to forego half of the mobile market to get uncensored apps.

The native runtime environment for iOS is significantly more powerful/capable (i.e. less controlled/limited) than a browser sandbox. It would be pointless to have local apps if it wasn't more capable.

That doesn't mean it isn't a sandboxed compared to more traditional computing environments - it just means it's less restrictive than a browser.

It's surprising how often people forget (or never learned) the guideline that thinking a thing is "secure" is itself a security vulnerability.
> He is willing to give most shares back.

I assume you had a vesting period? If so he can probably only get 25% of his shares anyway-- so him giving 75% back isn't really his choice. It was silly for you to give a large percent of the company away after doing a lot of the work yourself. Big mistake on your part.

> I argued that he still has an employee mindset. Founders don't get to quit randomly; we have a responsibility towards investors and employees who stuck with us through all this.

I don't think you're convincing him to stay. You only sound like a patronizing ass.

People can quit whenever they want. Life is too short to grind on something because, investors.
There’s no other way to do it for this type of a brain. I know because I have the same type of brain.

I spend 90% of my time formulating descriptions of the problem and the desired end state

Hallucinating futures where the state of the world is in a state that I either wanted to be or that somebody’s asking me to build

Once you know your final end state, then you need to evaluate the current state of the things that need to change in order to transition to the final state

Once you have your S’ and S respectively then the rest of the time is choosing between hallucinations based on sub-component likelihood of being able to move from S to S’ within the time window

So the process is to basically trying to derive the transition function and sequencing of creating systems and components that are required, to successfully transition from state S to state S'

So the more granular and precise you can define the systems at S and S' then the easier it is to discover the likelihood pathway for transitional variables and also discover gaps, where systems don't exist, that would be required for S'

Said another way: treat everything - both existing and potential futures- as though they are or within an existing state machine that can be modeled. Your task is to understand the markov process that would result in such a state and then implement the things required to realize it.

> When you learn how to drive a car, you can expect the same standard across all cars.

Across all cars. Not "across all controllable artifacts" or even "across all vehicles" (driving a bulldozer is way different from driving a car).

An optimal user interface for (e.g.) an accounting package is extremely unlikely to be the same as the interface for (e.g.) a video editor.

For that matter, imagine attempting to drive a car by picking the things you want to do off a menu with a mouse.

It would suck.

Big time.

Generally they're either run until there's not much science left to do so funding dries up or there's some catastrophic failure of the rover itself. I'm not sure how much COTS you can actually do for future missions for flying rovers. A demonstrator is easier because it doesn't need the specialized scientific equipment that comes with doing science beyond looking at something from ground level.
I don't have access to the article - my comment was about the figures specifically, as they were posted on Twitter (where I can see them. I don't have an FT subscription).

I'm critical/suspicious whenever a complex topic is presented as if it is apparently very simple, e.g. when people's political opinions apparently clearly follow a general rule across different countries and cultures (as in this case).

Without any evidence to back it up, I can imagine a different set if questions leading to different outcomes. Ideally, there would be a different newspaper who would set out to show that Women are more conservative (or some other different finding to the FT's), and the we'd be able to decide which method we find more compelling.

Having different opinions published by outlets that have the same readership is how scientific findings are disseminated and judged (e.g. two different theories both published by Nature, and read by Nature readers). In the case of newspapers, people of one opinion tend to read one subset of newspapers, and people of another opinion the other, which means that the kind of weighing up of evidence doesn't happen in the same way.

Anyway, my comments were made in good faith, in the spirit of someone just saying what they think, as is the way with HN. I didn't mean to offend anyone.
The pieces all have exciting versions-must-roughly-match properties. The official distribution idea is pick exactly the recommended OS and install the binary package from amd and it'll be fairly solid.

I totally ignore that recommendation and sometimes have a happily working system and sometimes it's a wreck. In particular, the upstream Linux driver (what you have anyway) and the dkms built one are sometimes rather divergent. Llvm in rocm has different behaviour to the upstream llvm too.

I'm cautiously optimistic that Debian is packaging will end up as turn key just-works. Part of that is persuading AND developers that breaking ABI has consequences, which it kind of doesn't on the install all of rocm together model.

Right now, I use Debian with the same kernel version that the ROCm recommended Ubuntu ships with and build the dkms driver source intended for Ubuntu on it. That be the wrong thing to do but also totally solid in ymmv fashion.
I was thinking you’d be consistent within a competition, but different between competitions, so Ana, Betty and Carola face the same judges when competing in the olympics final, but their performance cannot directly be compared to Diana, Edith and Frida who completed at the world gymnastics championship.
