I presume @ddevault knows about Redox, so I'm surprised he didn't mention it in this context. In any case I thought it was an insightful remark.

The more I learn about the politics of big projects, the more I believe in flowing around obstacles rather than trying to overcome them directly. If there's significant resistance to Rust in the kernel, then regardless of the technical or other merits, it may just not be worth it to try and win over the objectors.

Rust in the kernel is still an experiment, you can't lead in a direction that doesn't exist. The "nontechnical nonsense" is actually the more important and more difficult part of software development.

My feeling about Rust is that it's a playground language where many ideas are tried and insights can be formed, but it needs to be distilled down to something simpler with a stable ABI to be used for something like Linux. Moreover, why be "afraid some other kernel will do to it what it did to Unix"? Wouldn't it be great if Linux could be replaced by something better? Why not pursue that direction?

I'd like to know how much space all these battery and solar farms are going to take up. Where I live in SE England they seem to be trying to take productive agricultural fields out of use to cover them with solar panels.

How does space usage compare against nuclear plants?

Probably depends on how your system is structured. if you know you only want to look in the DB code, hopefully it is either all together or there is something about the folder naming pattern you can take advantage of when saying where to search to limit it.

The upside to doing it this way is it makes your grepping more flexible by allowing you to either only search the one part of the codebase to see say DB code or see all the DB and UI things using the concept.

That's a failure of imagination. If I can architect and describe my interfaces and have Claude write the current component, then I can repeat with every other component and write minimal code / corrections.

At the same time, I've minimized complexity in my codebase. It's a win-win, and honestly probably the next paradigm of software engineering.
Well... hold your horses, when you make solar panel self replicating and self-healing nano-machines that span all over the planet you would have beaten nature.

So far we have beaten nature on the aspect of sheer efficiency

Microgrids have been making a lot of noise for a few years now.

If markets were perfectly efficient there would be no entrepreneurs.

To start a business of any kind is to hypothesize the existence of a market inefficiency, something the market is not currently doing that would make it more efficient. All business is in some sense arbitrage between state A, the market as it currently exists, and state B, the market with your business in it. A business succeeds if its hypothesis is correct and if it executes well.

very interesting approach! in south asia, due to similar exposure to tech (through qwerty), we too use a phonetic approach, but without touching the visual aspect of the script.

it gets a little ambiguous, however, because we have ~2x the symbols that latin allows (before you get into accents). the workaround is to combine multiple symbols to replicate the phonetic sound the target character is meant to capture.

curious to see if the tooling can be combined to use across languages that can work with similar approach as the OP.

I don't know the details of the other cases but the UK didn't jail anyone for being a "curious observer". They jailed him in advance of his trial where it is alleged he took part in criminal acts (setting fire to shops and other standard riot stuff).

We can import food, and we kind of have to anyway, but we can't import electricity. Well, not on quite the same scale; total interconnector capacity is a few percent of demand, and often used for export.

At some point we'll see more agrivoltaics; there's nothing stopping people from planting between/under panels, and for some crops the partial shade actually increases yield.

Nuclear plants of course consume way less space, but cost way more and encounter way more planning objections and cost overruns. I take a "you can have your dessert when you finish your vegetables" policy on this: UK can start another nuclear plant if it wants once Hinkley Point C is actually finished and working.

At some point we're also going to have to have the "listed building mafia vs. energy efficiency" argument, too. I think the most egregious example was someone trying to block a grid connection for offshore renewables using the presence of "grade 2 listed concrete anti-tank cubes".

> Where I live in SE England they seem to be trying to take productive agricultural fields out of use

I think this is an unfair characterisation. Many farmers in the UK _want_ to build solar installations on their fields as it is a fantastic way to get guaranteed income while keeping other land for agriculture. Additionally, you can graze animals with solar panels. And also the solar panel installations are usually temporary (land is leased for x amount of years), they can be removed and used as farmland after.

> how much space all these battery and solar farms

Chris Hewett, head of Solar Energy UK says this:

"We need less than half a percent of UK land, for a fully decarbonised energy grid. That is the amount of land we use for golf courses – and less than we use for airports."

I think it's quite close-minded to call cyan green or blue.
Cities are going to need more power than falls on their own roofs.

The distributed nature of the grid is just too useful. It's like having a computer that's not connected to the Internet: it's certainly possible but inconvenient compared to the default.
I think the island factor is huge. There’s no point where a road would need to flip from left to right hand driving, whereas Sweden has countless crossings with neighbouring countries. I just can’t see it ever being worth the disruption in the UK when every vehicle has a natural “reset” point anyway.
Grep is also useful when IDE indexing isn't feasible for the entire project. At past employers I worked in monorepos where the sheer size of the index caused multiple seconds of delay in intellisense and UI stuttering; our devex team's preferred approach was to better integrate our IDE experience with the build system such that only symbols in scope of the module you were working on would be loaded. This was usually fine, and it works especially well for product teams, but it's a headache when you're doing cross-cutting work (e.g. for infrastructure projects/overhauls).

We also had a livegrep instance that we could use to grep any corporate repo, regardless of where it was hosted. That was extremely useful for investigating failures in build scripts that spanned multiple repositories (e.g. building a Go sidecar that relies on a service config in the Java monorepo).
I don't know how to validate this but this seems to be a specific case of "avoiding magic" where there's a lot of dynamically generated variables and things. Having the static text of the program more or less show its intent helps readability and searchability quite a bit.

I suppose the other extreme is to have a program generator with an input spec and you being left to read through the generated code without access to the input spec.
It's not a contradiction, it's just precise definitions. Have you ever had the experiencing of noticing how a sound has been going on for a while, only when it becomes really obnoxious or when you point your attention to it? We are constantly _conscious_ of stuff without processing it _congnitively_.

On dreams, I explicitely left out the dream scenario from my experiment. I'm only asking whether the moment of waking up feels like "lights up" or not...
If you really do want your code to be searchable, here’s a couple of practices I’ve adopted:

1) Eliminate spelling mistakes. Eliminate alternative spellings. UK vs US English? Pick a side and stick to it.

2) Eliminate contractions. Or keep a very short list of allowable ones (We permit “info” for instance.)

The point of this is to increase the predictability of the names you use. If you’ve got “tradeable” and “tradable” in your code base, search for it is going to be a pain. You can supplement these rules with common coding standards like “We call these things providers.” but just getting the spelling consistent is huge.
These are all extremely good suggestions. Especially the flattening bit - yes, it's verbose as hell, but it just makes so much sense whenever you have to deal with the code any time after writing it. Helm charts, please take note, the docs even say that "In most cases, flat should be favored over nested.", yet almost every time I have to deal with a Helm chart, it's a mess of nested structures.

Show HN: I build a chrome extension to try on clothes before buying
Hi HN,

I built a Chrome extension that lets you try on clothes virtually in any e-commerce store.

The entire product was built over the weekend using Cursor editor's multi-compose feature.

How It Works:
- Captures the product image directly from the webpage using GPT-4.
- Uploads your photo to Cloudinary for AI processing.
- Uses the Kolors model from Hugging Face via the Gradio API for the try-on.
- Stores images in your browser cache for faster performance.

To use it, you'll need to set up your OpenAI and Cloudinary API keys in the extension settings.

Here is a demo video: https://x.com/shyjal/status/1830824363303805278

Please give it a try and let me know your thoughts.

It's bad news for anyone who wants to buy a solar panel, because they'll be joining the thundering herd of people generating energy when the energy price is negative and there's too much generation in the grid already, and that is a complete waste.

It's great news for someone who wants to buy a battery and actually reduce that waste by consuming it and making good use of it later.

I have thought for a few years now that solar panels are no longer the best thing to expand - it's batteries instead now, and all the better if they are situated right next to the solar panels.

Having said that, if you're on a fixed price domestic electricity supply, then yes it would make sense to install solar panels without batteries to match your peak power usage during the day, but that is going to be a very small installation in most cases. If you expand beyond that, then you're exporting to the grid and getting paid next to nothing for it.
> if batteries and solar get cheap enough

Solar is cheap enough.

Batteries are never going to be cheap enough (unless, of course, some disruptive technology emerges.)
As long as Bitcoin is unusable for day to day transactions (7 TPS globally isn't even good enough to run a town on), it can't solve any real problems, because its value is just speculative make-believe. And no, Lightning or other L2 networks don't change that, since they don't actually use Bitcoin all that much - they don't actually give Bitcoin's assurances unless you run them at Bitcoin speeds (i.e. close the channel after every transaction, negating any performance advantage).

Hi.

I saw that there are scoreboards on the website. Does this mean that the game includes some form of user tracking? Does the website (play.date) know how often a user plays, when, for how long, how good he/she is at it, etc.? Is there a unique user ID or device ID that they can pair with past&future aquisitions in the shop?

I don't own that game and I probably never will. I'm just asking this to educate myself about what's possible in terms of invasion of privacy by using a low power console such as this one.
