The focus on efficiency can be short sighted though. The whole point of storage is that the energy you sell is more expensive than the energy you buy. If the profit margin is high enough then you can afford to waste energy through inefficiency. And grids with lots of renewables will naturally have times where energy is cheap and times when it is expensive.

Also, I doubt this will exist in isolation. It will probably be built in places that already have demand for hydrogen, available land, have accessible energy, a good grid connection, and existing iron-ore infrastructure. It will be built in such a way to minimise costs and maximise available customers.

It should be noted that the build quality of the ThinkPad are much higher than the IdeaPad. I have both and the IdeaPad is more or less on par with other cheap consumer laptops.
I thought this was already well known. A study in 2021 [1] found this relationship. However, it is good to keep people informed because it seems we are letting a potentially severely disrupting disease shred our society to bits.

From 2021: “Biological markers of brain injury, neuroinflammation and Alzheimer’s correlate strongly with the presence of neurological symptoms in COVID-19 patients.”

I suspect they would be difficult to train, because of their attitude. We see this with many wild animals. Dogs train easily, but coyotes and wolves, who are even smarter, are much more difficult to train.

One of my favorite nature vignettes, is a part of Planet Earth, by the BBC, about Cape Hunting Dogs[0]. It looks like a military assault. They are really clever, and work well, as a team.

But if you could train crows, they would probably be marvelous.

> Thus, people who want more than ad-drivel use the niche browser and have access to a web full of weird and non-profit-focused content.

This is a technical solution to a non-technical problem. If you want to only access esoteric websites, you can do that today. If you want to block ads and tracking, you can do that today. If you want to only visit websites that don't require ad support, you can do that today.

What you need is a way to pay people for content so they don't need to have ads. Can you solve that problem?

During Covid crows started harassing a lot of people in our area while walking around.

I realised it was because they didn’t like someone who wore a blue mask.

If I took my mast off or wore a different style of mask they’d leave me alone, and bother other people who looked similar to me with a blue mask on.
Lost, as in turned into heat?

Is it possible to capture that heat during production and conversion, and use it to run a turbine?
It may well have to do with the types of bugs I report. Many are Xcode bugs, and Xcode is one of the most productive bug farms on Earth.

I also submit feature requests and usability issues.

My experience is pure anecdata.

I usually end up closing the reports, after a number of months of them being ignored.

Looks cool, but if you're building a stack for everyone else to build atop, why would you start with non-bare metal languages? I see C++ is in there, which is fine depending on who is wielding it, but Java and TypeScript necessarily add overhead that to me just doesn't make sense to add to all systems that want to run on your platform?

There's probably some kind of tragedy of the commons, where nobody thinks they should be the one funding this stuff.

I also believe there's the impression that making a brand new browser with an engine written from scratch is not realistic, so why found one? Fortunately Ladybird might have changed things on this front.

I visited two friends recently when I was back in Ireland. They had both been fit climber/orienteering types. Both now incapacitated with long covid. Both had been vaccinated.

I went for a very short very slow walk with one of them. She wears a fancy Garmin which beeps when her heart rate goes over 100bpm. We walked for 15 mins and it went off.

I really hadn't realised quite how real and quite how incapacitating long covid is.
I’m talking about a general newspaper like if I go to the newsagent now and buy a broadsheet newspaper like the FT or The Guardian or The Telegraph it costs something between £1.50 and £2.50 ($2-3USD) which gives me access to about 100 articles of which I might read max 10-15 of a weekend. So I think charging the same price for the same number of articles read should work no? If that transaction used to work with physical paper why do you think it doesn’t work with digital? Obviously for more specialist articles you would charge more and it would be better for those publications because they would be able to reach a wider audience because I’m not going to subscribe to Farmers Weekly to read that one article about tractor hacking but I might buy a one time access.
You sound very unhinged, I'm afraid to say.

I want to achieve a FLOSS setup of my personal infrastructure that can completely replace the things I use proprietary software for.

Empty barrels make the most noise. It’s cheap to be vocal about a topic, whereas donating time or money to the cause is not.
I think that a lot of the vocal people are not the ones with the big money. Or even organizations with that kind of money.

And some of the organizations that do have that kind of money have thrown in the towel. Like Microsoft, who switched Edge to chromium a few years ago.

I also think that many people who are vocal about it rather donate to something like Firefox (although it is quite difficult to actually donate to specifically fund firefox development....) because that is an established alternative for Chromium.
I know of one 2D version of this available on Shader Toy where you can immediately play around [0], but its speed is limited by the tooling available at Shader Toy.

Yeah, hooks totally suck—no question about it. There simply aren't other facets of other front end or back end frameworks that are so widely criticized to the same level that hooks are. Which means they're at best controversial, and at worst they're a poor design choice and add mud and confusion to the framework.

I find that hooks are fine when you want to do simple web-app stuff, like fetch from a db, post some data back. But once your effects get more complicated, like using web sockets, items with retries, play or queue async audio clips that have to be state managed with hooks—the house of cards comes crashing down and they are an absolute nightmare to work with.

They're such an anti-pattern that useRef has to be repurposed from a thing that was meant for holding a reference to an HTML element to a new thing that is used to hold state that doesn't trigger a lifecycle update—and there are many paradigms that you can find yourself in where the only path forward is to use refs, along side and inside of your otherwise lifecycle updated hooks. What kind of cluster f*#& is that.
> Google has quite literally auctioned off result placement for two decades

Adwords - clearly marked as ads. Or are you suggesting the results themselves could be bought and sold? This was definitely not the case.

> Do you think that selling result placement for keywords and search terms to the highest bidder had a higher resilience to search engine optimisation than other search engines?

Again, manipulating the actual results via financial inducement to google was not a thing. Quite the reverse.

> A lot of their early competition around the world didn’t really do “search” as much as they did a combination of web content in a “portal” sort of presentation.

I’m not sure why you have this impression. There were many competitors for search prior and concurrent with google that operated in the same fashion. As I said earlier, they were simply hacked into uselessness. The concept of adversarial knowledge indexing was at this time new; PageRank was a novel and revolutionary solution.
You post this like there's no use case for an address that just forwards to an address or reply to emails sent to you. Apple is in fact clear that is what it does in the description. https://support.apple.com/en-us/105078

> Hide My Email generates unique, random email addresses that automatically forward to your personal inbox. Each address is unique to you. You can read and respond directly to emails sent to these addresses and your personal email address is kept private.

Nothing there suggests you can generate new email threads from an address, just "respond directly". While that may not meet your needs, it does meet the needs of other use cases for which it was designed (e.g. signing up for a service you don't want to provide your true email address for). That's absolutely no reason to call for a blanket "stop using it".
I think using Trump as a bar for 'acceptable levels of corruption' is a critical error.

For example, I have some red lines on who I'd vote for, and genocide support is one of them. [It's crazy that needs to be said, and that it's controversial. Crazy.] Whether Trump would arm genocide even more is utterly irrelevant.

For that simple and non-negotiable reason, neither main party can represent me. Any party that arms and enables the atrocities the world has witnessed for the last year is too corrupt for me.

"You have to be practical - Trump could end democracy"... Any blame for his election is on the lady who refuses to heed either the Genocide Convention, our own Leahy Laws, or the will of 77% of her own party.

Like - you really think an admin that vetoes ceasefire in Gaza four times would be above using their political power to warp narratives on social media? This shit is documented bud. They did it.

Why would you pretend they're above using the leverage which they were clearly flexing?? 'Because Trump would be worse.' See how little sense that makes?
Well, real world problems, like fluid dynamics or machine learning, are too hard for mathematicians to tackle, so they resort to toy problems.

I don't think I am? I'm just agreeing the title should be different here, and it has now changed so either the submitted or a mod agreed.

> Everyone in that area of the US means "University of Kentucky" when they say "UK". It isn't a dig at the United Kingdom nor is it (I assume) an attempt to gain undue credibility by associating with the country. For the people there, UK as the University is simply the first order association for that acronym, rather than what is to them a faraway country that has no bearing on their day-to-day lives.

Right, that's what I meant about audience, and it making sense for the UoK's PR dept.
Tell HN: Squarespace does not support wildcard domains in DNS settings
But that's not the project discussed in the article.

Now I'm not saying I agree, but his premise was a Linux-compatible kernel, which Redox most definitely is not. Redox explicitly does not intend to be POSIX, has its own custom (in-house) filesystem, desktop environment, and is a microkernel as well. A better comparison for Redox would be Hurd, not Linux.

On mobile devices, Apple’s Calculator app has always been one of the most frustrating apps I’ve ever used, and I’m surprised it’s a stock app by the company itself. If you press buttons quickly, like you would a normal calculator, many of the key presses simply don’t register at all. I’m not sure if they’re prioritizing some pretty little visual animation over actual functionality, but it’s incredibly surprising from a company that focuses on user interaction, supposedly.
Darn. If only there were a tool that can interactively answer prompts...
I get that a lot with default terminal colors - on black background, dark blue and dark red look shifted in opposite directions relative to baseline (white/light colors); when both colors are used in close proximity, it gives me a strong and quite distracting 3D effect.

I always thought this is specific to that color combination (red and blue on black) and LCDs, thus is perceivable by anyone, and could be used to create intentional 3D effects; I never considered glasses may be a factor too.
I might be wrong, but my impression is that MMT has been pretty good at predicting economic outcomes.

The main reason I suggested it is because MMT is the only innovation happening in economics, and understanding the core concepts has been very helpful to me.

The only other game in town is synthesis, which has been a dead end for decades and has very poor real world predictive power.
Yes, I would like to make a cross-platform editor one day. I would probably choose Pascal's RTL video unit over C for that task. There is one editor called YEDIT that fits the brief for windows systems: http://www.malsmith.net/edit/
It seems to me that Scala has all the features that Gleam has. And they both run in VM's. Scala is not very popular and Gleam is less popular that that. Someone must really love learning a new language to learn Gleam. I respect it very much.
Doesn't even have to be an intern. Joining a new company, especially a big one, is always the same struggle -- the soup of acronyms and weird proper nouns. Everybody knows that $colorname is a UI library and $malename is an authentication server and three letter acronym refers to a specific department, maybe in a different company.

There usually is a phonebook to look it up, but pre-feeding some context is always nice.
Sounds a lot like OS/400 in my ears. A machine interface that virtualizes the hardware and a database on top of that which applications are built upon. So, maybe not that new of an idea?

Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. Believe it or not, not everyone wants to release every work under their identity. I know that most HNers are only motivated by ego and money though. So it's probably an alien perspective to you. Though none of that really matters here because you missed the main point:

Getting press attention does not make a work substantive. What the press are attracted to is sensational, current-event stories. It's more about finding a hook and a story that will be entertaining than anything else. Once you realize this its quite easy to get reporters at major outlets to cover your work. Though its not going to work if your work is a CRUD app. The context matters a lot.

The reason I don't like posts like this on HN is because they don't provide anything useful and the engineering would be obvious to any junior dev. Novelty stuff like this is just honestly goofy. The same goes for every post filled with people reinventing wheels because they get to use their favourite hammer to do it. Is this a place where people post hello world programs and programs designed to do literally nothing. Or is it a place to celebrate things that are actually clever, useful, or worth celebrating?

Oh hell, who am I kidding, it's just a place to promote anything you've built providing you have enough friends to vote for it. Forgive my foolishness.
Then you probably don't know the history of Telegram enough to make such claims.
Energy efficiency is only one part of the equation. There are economic and social efficiencies in using simple, eco-friendly components that are easy to build/transport/store/run/scale up. Those can easily offset any energy losses over the lifetime of the technology.

I can see the political argument against it, but at the end of the day I think that’s a marketing issue. Japan vehemently denies that any allegations of using MMT, but MMT has been very good at predicting japanese economic outcomes.

It’s definitely not mainstream though, I agree with you there, but I would argue that that’s because there’s a lot of people who would have to admit they were wrong for decades if MMT was accepted.

Show HN: I created an extension to give you password requirements on login pages
Hey, at work, i have to manage everyone's accounts (adobe, microsoft, indeed...) for billing, setting stuff... and it's a nightmare :
So many websites with so many different password requirements (minimum characters, lowercase, number...) and none of their login pages give a reminder of the requirements...

So, I created Password Requirements Checker, that will give you on the login page requirements for password of the particular website.
I think the real reason is very few developers are interested in that and because virtualisation solve most users issues related to not being able to run software X on BSD and most open source software are relatively easy to port to these OS if there is interest.

You do not become a BSD or illumos developer because you are interested in replicating Linux.

I can confirm this. I had annoyingly bad chromatic aberration with my previous glasses. I specifically asked for CR-39 lenses for my next set of glasses and now it's barely noticeable at all.

I would recommend this to any programmer who uses high-contrast syntax highlighting. To me, it felt fatiguing every time I noticed differently colored words scrolling slight further than other words on a terminal screen on the same line.
How would you build a search engine fir the hidden web (all sites behind tor, logins, captchas etc)
I think you're confusing the roles of terminal emulator and shell. The emulator mainly hosts the window for a text-based application: print to the screen, send input, implement escape sequences, offer scrollback, handle OS copy-paste, etc. The features you mentioned would be implemented by the hosted application, such as a shell (which they've also implemented separately).
The closest thing to this right now is solidjs. Super close to plain javascript but with tree shake build
Yeah... it's kinda sad. Even if only HN would donate 5USD a month they would probably get to the goal...
