Isn’t that article contradicting your point? They weren’t able to find any effect for dish detergent, and the effect they did find for rinse aids was not present at the concentrations used in residential dishwashers?

My issue was specifically the article valuing it in terms of money, incorrectly. “if we take all this iron and we multiply it marginal price of iron we get a large number!” If you want the worth of something you do the integral of the dem

Java enforces domain name ownership as well; I can’t publish to maven central under io.netty. This removes a whole slew of attack surfaces that JS and Python have, and leverages an existing “prove you are who you say you are” infra

Have you used Go or Rust package ecosystems? My experience is that the older gen languages you mention had to invent package management, made lots of understandable mistakes and now are in a backwards compat hellscape. Rust and Go built the

Your number is off by eight orders of magnitude. Lithium is one of the most common elements on the planet. Earths crust contains ~0.002-0.006% Li by weight, or 1,220,000,000 million tonnes if you use the low estimate. You seem to have confu

Thank you for posting this. This focus on V2G is nuts. We move huge volumes of our residential portfolio every day just setting EV schedules - enough that our total residential profile peaks at market bottom price hour nearly every day, eve

Dang, how do they implement the “parse text strings and generate types immediately available in auto-complete” thing?? I can see how you could do that with Rust Macros, but how do they do it in TS? Eg. this thing: blah.select(['pet.nam

Yeah good point. I always imagined it as similar to transmission replacement - ie. If they can make the battery pack last as long as a median transmission, then it’ll be after the overall vehicles useful life before it comes time to replace

I’m 100% in the EV train, but this article is weird. It says they ordered a ton of EVs, and that EVs have lower cost of maintenance, awesome - but it provides no evidence that EV maintenance costs actually contributed to the improvements he

I’m confused why you think production and disposal aren’t part of the data going into that statement. Every comparison I’ve seen includes battery production in the life cycle analysis. Do you have an example of a full - ”cradle-to-grave” -

Yeah agree, I had the same thought after I wrote that comment “wait dumbass, you don’t get to pick the key in the heap, it’s not the same”. But still, you get what I’m getting at: in the end, the relational dbs, internally, build on top of

I mean, so are the relational databases. Rocks provides similar storage primitives - trees - as most databases implement internally. Postgres is “just” a SQL engine running on top of a key-value heap and trees pointing into it. Neo4j is the

Invite only to write, open to read. But the main trick is tracking the invite tree - if the person that invited you gets banned, you get banned too (or need to appeal to have your “branch” of the invite tree adopted by someone else).

It seems because of the compiler tool chain? Eg this language can be “compiled” to terraform manifests. To do that with JavaScript or python you’d need some really strong static analysis to work out what to do if the user, say, writes a fun
