Hey Arjun, Thanks for taking the time to reply! I didn't mean to suggest that this was Franks opinion, I merely explained to the other user, who seemed to have a more negative attitude towards Materialize, why I am extremely excited ab

Maybe I'm biased because I'm such a huge Frank McSherry fanboy. The differential dataflow work he does in rust is simply awesome, and he writes great papers too! Little known fun fact, the rust type- and borrow-checker uses a data

Tbh, It's a weird blog post coming from the materialize folks, considering they know better. The "event sourced" arch they sketched is missing pieces. Normaly you'd have single writer instances that are locked to the cor

That kind of content addressable naming based on hashes would be awesome for the web in general. Think of all the big JS frameworks. If they were all referenced by hash, their size would become pretty much irrelevant, as they would be amort

Yeah but with those brands I could factory reset the bios and called it a day, or worst case popped the lid and pushed the nvme ssd back into place. I don't think it's hardware but a controller firmware issue.

Better doesn't mean good. Currently I'm waiting for the beachball of death when trying to get into the boot volume selection menu. I think this mac is bricked...

My new M1 Macbook Air arrived today. The excitement was quickly replaced by sober frustration. Yes apple did a remarkable job with the M1, no they've still lost their mojo when it comes to high quality software. I've spend the las

This is the device I've been dreaming of building for forever. I'm so in love.

Whenever someone mentions smart contracts I'm instantly reminded of that Jean Luc Picard quote: "I don't know how to communicate this, or even if it is possible to do so... but the question of justice has concerned me greatly

I love that you do actual research in ObservableHQ! Awesome visualisations and super interesting work! Looking forward to more :D

Very cool tech. The 8000 default port though, while cute, sounds like it will clash commonly with test setups.

Like I said. The phytoplankton of that time, is not the same phytoplancton we have today. There are evolutionary drivers that push lifeforms towards efficiency. A thick, protein rich, acid resistant shell is much more expensive, than a thin

a.) co2 fluctuations might have never been large enough to trigger the effect. b.) there have been plenty off mass extinctions in the past, the question is: do you want to be in one

Even with the high reproduction rate, even 100 years with lower oxygen levels would be devastating. Also, the gases in permafrost accumulated of milennia of decay processes. So I don't get your point.

In the past these things have been slow gadual processes taking hundreds of thousands if not millions of years. The phytoplankton back adapted to the high acidity. The phytoplankton we have today evolved to fit our current acidity. They are

I think you're fundamentally misunderstanding the architecture, capabilities and relationships between observable and observablehq. Not having a button next to each cell to edit it in place, is not going to impact your productivity in

The definition of literate programming environment doesn't include the requirement of a GUI. Knuths original literate programming environment consisted of a command line tool to split files that mixed pascal and tex into the pascal and

I don't argue that you might find a different notebook environment more suitable. That's totally up to taste, preferences, and silly do argue about. But observable (the reactive notebook technology) can do everything a jupyter not

"You can't self-host with Observable." You can self host observble, but you can't self host observablehq. Literate programming just means the combination of code and documentation/visualisation. Observablehq provide

Check the link provided. It's just running inside of vscode, with no communication to their servers whatsoever.

by j-pb 6y ago
Hosting the notebook and hosting the development environment are two different things. It's like saying git (observable) can't be self hosted because github (observablehq) is not open source.
804.
by j-pb 6y ago
Not true. The Observable runtime is open source, and trivial to integrate into your existing react/whatever webapp. There is also a vscode plugin that allows for live editing and rendering. It doesn't give you the ObservableHQ int

Even if it was the same price, it's better in every other metric. It's cheaper because you can prefab parts that are otherwise not prefabbable due to the high weight of trains, and that require less maintenance due to not being ex

Yeah there could but that's not how ICE are sheduled most of the time. But there could also be 4 tubes stacked, or your security distance reduced. Your whole capacity argument is based in the "acceptable amount of lives lost"

Don't look at the wavefront of the first 100m, the pod there is gone anyways in case of a bomb. Turbulence on the phase of what comes after the near vacuum. The plug essentially plugs itself from resticted airflow. If you want to be ex

At 1200km/h thats one every 2 minutes per 40km (25miles). So you get 30 pods per hour. With 28 passengers each. Which is 840 passengers per hour. Compared with the different ICE 4 models, even the Largest ICE transports less passengers

You neglect the timing advantages gained from smaller independent crafts. Hyperloop has the ability to essentially do driverless packet routing. You can't do that with high speed rail.

Transrapid tech has no moving parts apart from switches and trains. It's a lot easier to get that reliable.
