My hope is that the same realization will eventually come to web developers as well. A well written desktop application is much faster, and typically more stable, than a web app that's hosted ... well who can tell where. This isn'

You could put an eInk display behind it, and have sort of a dual mode of interaction. If both can be constructed flexibly/foldable (with or without a hinge) I can see some very interesting designs. The ability of eInk to switch to blac

As an experiment I put two of them mirrored as L2Arc in front of an 6 drive SATA600 SSD (Samsung 860 Pro) ZFS array (zfs equivalent of raid 0+1) for PostgreSql / graph databases. It seems to help a bit for random access hits, but not a

If this was some meditative game of sorts (optionally multiplayer) on my phone I would play it for ages (not sure about the mechanics yet, but I already spend 5 minutes just fiddling with it in my browser). Truly mesmerizing, cool stuff!

we use zombodb https://www.zombodb.com/ to keep ES and Postgresql in sync, it has its flaws but when it works it works perfectly. That at least helps with 1 and 3, which are indeed a major annoyances.

True, but planting trees as a method for carbon sequestering is not a novel idea, and currently seems one of the better short-term options. Long term it's not that great for the reason you mentioned, and there is quite a lot of debate

There is a good map on the wiki of Concentrated Solar [1] showing the Direct Normal Irradiation. The US West coast is in somewhat of a unique position (as is Australia, South Africa, and a couple of others I suppose): high density populatio

Straight up dumping it in the ocean is generally considered bad. The standard trick is to wash/mix the brine with fresh ocean water to reduce the concentration of salt before dumping it back. Another interesting byproduct that is often

Absolutely, but then again (almost) everything is a fragile ecosystem. And if man-made climate change is real (I'm inclined to believe that), then it's less of an absolute and more of a trade-off ... a tricky one certainly, but al

Yeah it does limit it a bit, and if the goal is really to plant trees, then eventually it will be somewhat self defeating as forests cool the air and will generate clouds. On the other hand, desalination doesn't require extremely high

These types of systems are generally not competitive with PV for electricity, since they require a lot of concentrated solar energy thus limiting the options for deployment. However, they are great for generating heat. And with heat you can

There is no need to train this particular model, but adopting this (or any novel model, the field is moving fast) to say Dutch, Italian, Hungarian, Icelandic or whatever still requires training. Luckily for most languages they are provided

"The cost of training the model from scratch using our code is about $50k." Still a substantially steep curve for a bootstrapping startup. It's something I continually run into myself. I have somewhat of a weekend project try

I found the readme of https://github.com/tdebatty/java-string-similarity particularly helpful, and of course the (Java) lib itself. It's not comprehensive by any means, but it gives a good starting point

I tend to work a lot in Lisp and XML, both are more or less trees if you squint (with the Lisp syntax famously being the AST due to homoiconicity) and it always makes me wonder if there are better command line tree search or tree diff algor

Knowing some C/C++ is very useful if you want to get a better understanding of what the computer is doing. Or Assembly of course, but that gets complicated fast. Common Lisp / Clojure / Scheme (or any language from that famil
