Thanks for the hint about Knuth's literate programming! I hadn't heard about it before but it immediately looks great. (For those of us who hadn't heard about it before either, here is a link: https://en.wikipedia.

My last e-reader was a Boox Note. It did its job but was slow and after a couple of years just didn't start up anymore. Then I switched to Kindle Scribe, mainly for the large screen. It was amazing, it was so much faster and more respo

I love how your comment is assuming that anybody here who's not British must be American. I'm Dutch and had never heard of conker before either.

I'm right-handed and hold my phone to my left ear. Actually I tried holding it to my right ear a couple of times and it felt so unnatural that I had trouble focusing on the conversation. I have no idea why this is.

Yes, check e.g. the map in this page https://www.euda.europa.eu/publications/html/pods/waste-wate... , it's pretty cool

I'm not so sure if nicotine is the most addictive, but if it is, certainly not by a long shot. I would say sugar is equally addictive.

Regulating gambling is a good idea, but most people here seem to be talking about forbidding. I find that odd, compare it with the general opinion here about soft drugs, there HN seems to be pro-legalization.

How about alcohol consumption? That surely ruins a lot of lives as well and causes loads of health issues.

by misja111 2y ago
Sure sports gambling ruins some lives. So do alcohol, fast food, you name it. Does this mean all of those should be forbidden? In the end these things are a trade-off: a very large part of the population has no problems with them and enjoys

It is happening. Companies start to be more and more aware of the high cloud costs. Cloud is nice to spin up a project and have some elasticity in the performance requirements. But once it's running more stable and predictable it tends

It's my personal preference and it has worked for me in the last 25 years, but everybody's different and it might not work for everybody. Note that doing nothing does not necessarily mean that you relax. Working at home at your ow

Note that in France, unlike on your first home, you don't pay taxes on your second home. See e.g. https://chasebuchanan.com/property-tax-in-france-residential... .

But the Netherlands are in a huge housing crisis at the moment. If you want to compare the UK against the Netherlands, you'd have to compare the numbers in the article: how many Dutch own houses, how many have second homes. And adjust

It's hard to find any European country that didn't have any government projects that went wildly over budget or were very much delayed. So I don't think this is a UK specific problem, and it doesn't explain why Britain h

by misja111 2y ago
The list of issues that the article list seems very ad hoc. Some are compared to EU countries, but apparently only where this makes the UK come out worst. It also ignores the fact that the UK might do better in some area's than other c

Doesn't the US have exit-tax already?

Not only that, the US now also has some backup when China will invade Taiwan and take over TSMC.

This is not much different than being the senior developer managing an outsourced team of developers.

If one of a pair of particles gets entangled with others, it means that the entanglement of the original pair of particles will be broken.

by misja111 2y ago
Isn't heat transmitted by photons? In that case, isn't it inevitable that heat destroys entanglement? Because the transmission of heat means some photon has to interact with one of the entangled particles.

"Maybe PostHog, I have the api_key blanked out locally to reduce costs" Come on, if POST requests work locally and not on PROD, isn't this an obvious place to start?

The European Space Agency has a space program as well: it has the Ariane rocket. I don't think it's capable to bring astronauts to the ISS but maybe it would be worth starting to cooperate to enable this in the future.

Aren't current solar panels using perovskites as well?

by misja111 2y ago
And also from the article: "We believe that, over time, this approach could enable the photovoltaic devices to achieve far greater efficiencies, exceeding 45%" So that's a lot more than the current solar panels.

1) EU gains on CH transportation just as well. 2) unfair in what way? Swiss taxes are lower than most EU countries, that's true. But not all: Income tax in e.g. Bulgaria is lower, company taxes are lower in Ireland. But even if it were
