I just looked up Cochrane ON because I hadn't heard of it before and yeah, it seems a bit of a mystery to me why it isn't more settled. I live around Edmonton where farming is a major industry, and just for comparison:

Mean daily temperature range (min to max): Cochrane -19c to +24c, Edmonton -15 to +23

Growing season: Cochrane 155 days, Edmonton 123 days

Frost free days: Cochrane 99 days, Edmonton 135 days

Precipitation: Cochrane 90cm, Edmonton 42cm

Around the first world war when the area was being settled, wikipedia quotes "7 months of snow, two months of rain, and the rest black flies and mosquitos. If I had to describe Edmonton, it would be 6 months of winter, one month of rain (June), 2 months of mosquitos, and 10 months of sun.

If I had to guess, the frost free days is a big factor. Even though Edmonton is further north, we benefit from the jet stream coming over the mountains and largely keeping the arctic air mass away from us. The jet stream tilts further south into the US by the time you get over to Ontario so Manitoba and Northern Ontario can get some bitterly cold winds.

Show HN: A discussion platform for developers
We developers have always wanted a place to ask questions freely. While Stack Overflow has been the go-to platform for years, it’s clear that developers need a change. That’s why I was inspired to create Rapport, a free and community-driven platform designed for developers to discuss and share ideas.

On Rapport, you can ask your questions, and discussions are capped to 15 minutes. This setup encourages active participation—when a discussion starts, a notification system alerts users who clicked the notification button. If a topic relates with many, they'll upvote it, drawing even more participants and leading to lots of answers.

It’s really that simple, and I’d love to know what you all think!
No idea. The last time I tried it I was thrown out of the Smithsonian before I got anywhere in the process.
It is no good enabling competition at the technical level without enabling it at the political level. Ultimately there can be no competition within a capitalist frame, because if there were, then more people would have to make more decisions, and making decisions hurts.

Good point. The goal is indeed to be a Postgres of incremental computing: any SQL query should "just work" out of the box with good performance and standard SQL semantics. You shouldn't need a team of experts to use the tool effectively.

In principle, there's something about Windows object system being much a much more complex abstraction than Unix's streams.

The numbers in the OP show that the RO equipment is by far the largest cost so you need to maximize its utilization. The energy is used to pump water through the RO at high pressure so another alternative would be to use solar to pump water uphill so you could run the RO at night. The design using batteries is easier to price.
> wouldn't it actually make a ton more sense to use that to decarbonize the rest of our energy infrastructure

Some portion of electricity is lost in transmission the longer the distances no? At some point it makes more sense for solar panels in San Diego to desalinize right next to them then try to get that energy to Maine.

I Built a Website
Hello,
I am a developer too!

I made https://instapics.2ix.ch/ - it uses clip to calculate correlations for text and images and can show them in a giant gallery. It needs some time to index images but the text to embedding works in realtime on a cpu. It can search images by image too, but only on images that are already indexed.

It can scan popular subreddits too, to search for a subreddit simply use r/[subreddit] as query like this: https://instapics.2ix.ch/?q=r/stuffoncats

It analyzes user interactions to find out what images a user likes and uses this data to recommend images in the home feed.
simplified it works like this: if one user likes content a,b,c and another user likes content a,c it is likely that he likes content b too.

It uses AI to compute alt text for images but this is really slow and only a few thousend images can be computed every day...

It does support user-uploaded content but it was removed from the navigation because it was not often used.
This little plane will bring a smile to your face! It seems like the plane Stewart Brand and his Whole Earth buddies would have created back in the 1970s. There is a 25 s video of the plane landing at the bottom of the page.

I clicked on the link because I was curious about the phrase "travelling aircraft". An aircraft that doesn't travel isn't an aircraft at all, is it? But what they mean is that this plane is not just a recreational craft -- it has a range of thousands of miles.
Touching. Thanks. And feel free to create some Github issues or write to me if you have some feedback.

Jeff Sessions was actively encouraged to investigate Hillary Clinton by Donald Trump which, to his credit, he largely resisted as he had decided to refuse himself on all matters that might be related to the 2016 campaign (Sessions had been a member of the Trump campaign).

Does McD's still use these machines today? It seems like this has been going on for decades, more than long enough that pretty much everyone seems to know about it.

The nuts and bolts won't be evenly distributed and cause discord among the people. The new facility may too if not everyone benefits from it. And that is probably the reason why some people prefer the nuts and bolts. That is the risk of every charity and it is the responsibility of the donors to evaluate that risk. If the donor's wishes don't align with the peoples needs then the donor is doing something wrong.

Learning about this, and figuring out how to make a positive impact without upsetting some people is what I am trying to do here. I have had people tell me that the mere visit of a foreigner to one family caused envy among the neighbors because they assumed that this family was getting money from that visitor, and then they made up stories about that family and tried to discredit them with their landlord.

My personal opinion: people who cannot take that kind of criticism, has no place in such a project. Period.
That's fantasy. If you don't live in the West it's difficult to appreciate that there simply is no water. No amount of of "swales" or rock dams change the fact that water doesn't fall from the sky in sufficient amounts to create a "lush green forest". Also every drop of water that hits the ground has been accounted for long ago and is part of some water pact. If you create a dam upstream you are guaranteed to get a visit from the water rights holders.
There is no single "the" explanation for a breakdown in societal trust. It's a mutual process.

Yes, dishonest academics share the blame. Yes, authorities lying about straightforward things to fit political conclusions (eg covid masks) shares the blame. But also narratives implying that no experts can be trusted, as every expert will inherently have conflicts of interests, share the blame.

That is where you majorly stepped over the line in your original comment. It's literally true, but it's true for everyone across the board. By emphasizing it and assuming bad faith you've made it so there can be no such thing as an expert opinion or consensus. That leaves nowhere to go besides non-nuanced pro/anti positions on everything, or "doing your own research" which ends up being mostly being sifting through the politicized tripe to feel which is more convincing.
Since I couldn't easily find one single link to the repo in that website, some url surgery to help others: https://github.com/peazip/PeaZip/releases/tag/10.0.0

Then you add capability to hide the browser chrome and build close to native user experience and we will have truly looped the loop. Think about that: the browser as an intermediation ensuring resources are properly shared and each application is shielded from the others. Everything that’s old is new again. /s

On a serious note I don’t see the point in turning browsers into an OS on top of the OS. I know it’s some kind of Google wet dream so they can suck up even more data than they already do but still. If you want to ship applications, just do that. The sandboxing should be done at the OS level where it belongs.

This claim has been around for a while, but it's unclear if it really is a concern. First, even if large freshwater injections had significant climate impacts at the beginning of this interglacial period c. 12k years ago, it doesn't necessarily mean that Greenland ice melt will have the same effect today as the state of the system is very different. Second, the Gulf Stream is a western boundary current driven by physical forces like gyre circulation that are due to the rotation of the Earth and midlatitude coriolis effects, it won't be shut down under warming.

See also recently published reports that don't seem to support the idea:

(2021) Subpolar North Atlantic western boundary density anomalies and the Meridional Overturning Circulation

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-23350-2.pdf

In particular rapid warming of the North Atlantic shelf on the North American side seems to be overwhelming many other trends, due to increased heat transport northwards from the tropical Caribbean, leading to subsurface nutrient depletion and fishery collapses, and probably overriding any Greenland-melt-induced cooling:

Understanding Round Robin DNS
I think the problem here is that government departments are not the only entities consuming the data. Private companies also deal with company names too. So at this point it's either:

- somehow ensure all software is bug free (at least when processing company names)

- outlawing things

- just let it happen

The first option isn't that far away from hacking the matrix and making buggy software physically impossible. The second option seems to be better than the third.
Why wouldn't you take the complexity and performance hit involved once at buildtime rather than offloading it to the client at runtime?

If you read the original slides from the proposers, they're presenting a framing where there is an inherent tension between "serving the user" and "helping the developer". They argue that there is too much of the latter, and that a formalized splitting should push more to the former.

From an end-user perspective, it definitely makes more sense that the js doesn't have to be transformed locally before it can interpreted. I think your suggestion is not compatible with the motivations of the proposal.
In case the point is missed: Apple asked for $250, stating their cases was on principle. The courts aren’t slighting Apple.

Yet I think we can hopefully all agree that expending unbelievable quantities of energy in order to desalinate seawater and pump it uphill a thousand miles in order to turn a desert canyon into a lake for absolutely no good reason whatsoever does not qualify as "balance".
I think that would probably fall outside the norm. My information might be outdated, but I was under the impression that JavaScript usually wins in most algorithm benchmarks because the JIT is so good.

Not sure what you were trying to suggest there. Netanyahu and Hitler have much in common in their political approach, even if their policies (obviously) differ.

Based on this intent, Masimo's statement:

> Masimo touts the jury’s ruling as a victory as Apple failed to win an injunction.

is appropriate.

Trump is definitely a demagogue, so comparing him to other well known demagogues of the [relatively] recent past is perfectly reasonable. This is worth a national discussion because it was fundamental to the creation of this country, our system of government was intended to protect us from exactly this situation.
Apologies about the confusion. We indeed only solve incremental computation for Abelian groups, and the paper is making a case that database tables can be modeled as Abelian groups using Z-sets, and all relational operators (plus aggregation, recursion, and more) can be modeled as operations on Z-sets.

But on this point, they lost. $250 is the statutory minimum in the US for infringement. Apple did not successfully win an injunction, which was what they really wanted.

That’s not really an argument against him being a fascist authoritarian.
Recently, I was researching President John F. Kennedy and his relationship with western Pennsylvania. I found his Presidential Library to be a fantastic resource. In their archives, I found transcripts of a few campaign speeches which JFK made in Butler County. He delivered a speech on the steps of the Butler County courthouse, where one of the main topics was the growing spectre of automation. Indeed, in the 1960s, a presidential candidate was simultaneously preparing the nation for an enormous Space Race of technology while dealing with the ramifications of automation versus the ordinary blue-collar workers who would be profoundly affected.
