Have had fun playing with Chris' blipkit library for SWI-prolog in the past... Gotta watch this!

Hah, yea, should have checked that :D ... but yea, I stopped hearing news from solo.io / UniK some time ago, so it makes sense.

And on that note, I just found this list of UniKernel projects: http://unikernel.org/projects/ I have especially had hopes for the UniK [1] project, as it was/is written in Go AFAIK. I see now it incorporates work

I wish there was more bio stuff on HN in general. Or that there was an HN for bio. (There is https://biostars.org , which is not at all really the same thing, more like a help forum).

Firstly, the fluctuations happen on a timescale (hours, not days) where price fluctuations don't really have a chance to influence behavior via the market (which is mostly dealt with the day before). In particular heavy industries whic

There has already been challenges in balancing out the extreme fluctuations from wind with the current amount (leading to the need to start gas turbines which were meant for emergency power multiple times over the last few years, and even o

Yes, you need a quicker power source to balance, and Sweden got that with the hydro power. The hydro power is not enough as base power for the large cities in the south, on the other hand, in part because in part the capacity is not enough,
218.
by samuell 3y ago
The hydro power is located in the far north(west), meaning that there is a bottle-neck in the hundreds to thousands of km of transport lines needed to bring it to the big cities in the south. The capacity of these lines is simply not enough

by samuell 3y ago
Sweden has often very long transport routes for the energy, meaning that it is still a big challenge to supply the big cities, especially in the very south, with stable power, as the long transport routes don't have capacity enough for
220.
by samuell 3y ago
Yea. You need to constantly produce the same amount of power that is being consumed, or you get a fall of the frequency in the system. Wind doesn't care about that. You don't need to look long at a graph showing the typical power

I feel there's something to be said about a static site with a simple PHP-based search function thrown in there. Perhaps it could have even the full site content pre-generated as a data structure in PHP, for keeping in memory. Could be

Yea, this is at the heart of what I also thought were the very point of it. In my experience on the mentioned project, I felt one of the few ways to get there, unless you wrote the whole codebase, is to have enough time to build (or configu

Though I understood one idea with SRE is that they are much more of a developer role anyway, and should theoretically have an easier time switching to a dev role if need be?

Ask HN: What makes SRE great compared to "plain" DevOps?

I've always had trouble falling asleep properly. I got helped by the usual suspects like avoiding caffeine after 14-15, earplugs, thick curtains and light cover over the eyes as well as cool temperatures in the sleeping room, but the b

Now I only wonder if it makes sense to install a SLURM HPC cluster on one, and how much hassle that would be?

My personal take on precision medicine is that before we can truly scale it up, we need to properly understand and treat organisms as _systems_. Thus, no precision medicine without systems medicine. Systems medicine too is a thing, so the t

They also mention mediKanren, apparently built on miniKanren (which is some language for logic programming). I personally saw a lot of potential for these approaches, and wrote some future outlook stuff as part of my thesis here: https:&#x

I've been needing to create virtualbox images for use in some courses (teaching data science and the like) at my previous work. This usecase has popped up often enough that I feel O need to be able to do this on my main laptop.

How do Tails and Qubes relate, any reuse of functionality? (Tried Qubes as written up in [1] but eventually gave up as it won't allow me to create virtualbox images, and some other caveats, as well as being pretty resource hungry) [1]

Great idea! Even though we have pretty great cleaning of the bike lanes here in Stockholm, it often happens that sometimes pretty large rocks and gravel find their way out into the bikelane, from some road construction, just the side of the

Well, I also want to be able to swim home from work if someone blows up all the bridges in Stockholm :) (Working on the north side of lake Mälaren, living on the south side).
