Vibe dashing: authentically poor dash usage

Maybe I’ll take a short pause in a sentence–or show a huge range 0 — 999.

Maybe you misread? I see a claim of 32km range from 1 hour wall charging,

when the vehicle is plugged into a regular home socket, Lightyear 0 can still charge 32 kilometers of range per hour

A claim related to solar charging from the article might be the one about the sun sustaining 35km/day for two months.

I like the idea of a modular battery such as Sungrow SBR series for the ability to scale up:

https://www.acsolarwarehouse.com/news/sungrow-battery-and-hy...

Each module is 3.2kWh. Can start with a small stack of 3 modules (9.6kWh), knowing this can be trivially upgraded 2.6x later without blowing out the cost.

This is missing from the related poll that @alfiedotwtf posted[1].

WFH actually means work from heckin' anywhere!

Changing environment is good for your creativity[2]. Nature is good for your health[3].

Yep nothing to see here, this commentary was maybe notable for the iPhone 4 -> 4s. I went from iPhone 5s to iPhone X and even that jump felt like slightly improving on a good thing. This next jump will be the same again. The incremental improvements do accumulate nicely over 5-7 years between upgrading.

Apple may be more on the pulse for consumers hopes and dreams than NYT when considering what they are incrementally improving. The iPhone 13 camera being the best yet for low-light photography does matter to this non-professional.

The Queensland experiment: how 70 days of lockdown led to 448 days of paradise

The Telegraph's title glosses over other factors, so hey: This one ^ does too!

I am relieved by my region's luck and the collective will to move the goalpost of success to be 'limiting the number of people dying of COVID'. It has been basically normal life domestically besides scattered lockdowns for 5 million people, without losing parents, grandparents; 1 death per M here compared to Sweden's 1425, USA's 1895.

National vaccination rate is lagging, on track to be sufficient in October, when the national modelling (Doherty) shows we will be sweet to test, trace, isolate, quarantine our way to control/suppression without need for further lockdown ad infinium. Just one precarious month in the way...

The new tabs are objectively bad and someone at Mozilla is awful at their job.

Nils a part of learning to be a good programmer will be learning to be a good human, too.

Here's a link to NEM mix this week in case anyone else is interested:

https://opennem.org.au/energy/nem/?range=7d&interval=30m

Maybe power from further away could help toward replacing the base power. A little more sunlight for the east coast peak. Less chance of a cloud or a still day on the east coast causing an issue like Callide coal exploding the other day. Yeah it is a stretch (literally thousands of kilometres).

If we're being ambitious, I'm excited about off-shore wind. If end game for NEM is 2/3 wind and 1/3 solar (with storage/hydro/gas in single-digit percentages filling the gaps) there are many inevitable projects and growing pains to come.

Herd immunity has been well-documented in the Brazilian city of Manaus, where researchers in the Lancet reported the prevalence of prior Covid-19 infection to be 76%, resulting in a significant slowing of the infection.

What, the linked study proves the opposite. A massive amount of death in Manaus in 2021, despite 'herd immunity' measured in October 2020. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

Some medical experts privately agreed with my prediction that there may be very little Covid-19 by April but suggested that I not to talk publicly about herd immunity because people might become complacent and fail to take precautions or might decline the vaccine. But scientists shouldn’t try to manipulate the public by hiding the truth.

Does he hear himself? You can't really liken wild guesses that lead to complacency/death as hiding the truth. It sounds like this guy should really stick to surgery.

Let me help you detox that:

An interpreter with a JIT is faster than one without. Especially when dealing with CPU bound work. Would be interesting to compare to pypy.

Sure, here is pypy:

  > pypy3 main.py
  282 ms

  > node main.js
  105 ms

  > python3 main.py
  2818 ms

  > node --jitless main.js
  998 ms

  > cargo run --release -q
  20 ms

Thanks rubber ducky

100%, we just had two weeks of indoor mask wearing here, after a case of covid had been out in the wild. It really was inconvenient to have to punch in a passcode to pay for groceries. Mask wearing removes the seamless magic of face ID. You're on to it for sure.

I would like to have both. And proper 5G (on phones besides the US edition).

If you’re not an expert why would you link a manuscript to stir up a thread?

CLD is real

Well, I believe the right thing to do is to at least mention that these are controversial statements.

Let's let this rest as 'controversial'. 2020: https://www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(20)30011-5/fulltex...

Even people here in Australia passionately declare that they have Lyme disease (without overseas travel). Our ticks don't even carry Lyme disease...

It’s so pervasive and creates all kinds of weird dietary and nervous system issues.

I am not an expert, but I think it would be amiss to omit the Lyme disease controversy with these statements. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4477530/

Lyme disease has a simple antibiotic treatment. The Lyme serology test has high false-positive rate. There might be many people who believe they have Lyme disease therefore sadly miss out on their actual diagnosis.

Even if CLD lacks biological legitimacy, its importance as a phenomenon can be monumental to the individual patient. This is because many if not most patients who believe they have this condition are suffering, in many cases for years. Many have undergone frustrating, expensive, and ultimately fruitless medical evaluations, and many have become quite disaffected with a medical system that has failed to provide answers, let alone relief.

Many patients referred for Lyme disease are ultimately found to have a rheumatologic or neurologic diagnosis. Rheumatologic diagnoses commonly misdiagnosed as Lyme disease include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative diseases of the spine, and spondyloarthropathies. Some patients are found to have neurologic diseases, including multiple sclerosis, demyelinating diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, neuropathies, and dementia. Some CLD advocates have argued that these various conditions are simply manifestations of Lyme disease, but these hypotheses are untenable.

There are benefits to dark UI for dim environments. The fad that I too am sure will pass is using a jarring UI for the environment just because it is cool.

There are fundamental differences when designing for bright/day vs dim/night that benefits humans. In-car GPS was a specialised UI that paid attention to this earlier than our computers. The night UI maximised clarity in a low-light environment without being distracting. The day UI met the daylight with similar clarity. Never jarring.

Triggering a system-wide change across devices when the sun dips below the horizon is a nice start. The fact that it trickles even as far as webpage and VS Code theme is just awesome stuff.

Speaking to your detrimental cases, maybe the auto-change could be based on ambient light level rather than sunset time. It is certainly possible. Excluding the Nordics, the better solution is likely to move humans closer to natural light. Dim the room or build for natural light, rather than our screens able to be brighter to meet an artificial environment.

Ah yes, I think this mechanism could have led to a real 'Australia' moment for me this year, while I was working outside back during iso.

Nothing but open blue skies above me, and a large spider flew in and landed right next to my hands/laptop. Suffice to say I didn't hang around long enough to take note of the species... That was enough fresh air for the day!

Yes. There are so few TS features that are non-type-level and non-standard. One option is to lint against these few features and call it a day.

  {
    "rules": {
      "no-restricted-syntax": [
        "error",
        {
          "selector": "TSEnumDeclaration",
          "message": "Enum restricted."
        },
        {
          "selector": "ClassDeclaration[abstract=true]",
          "message": "Abstract class restricted."
        },
        {
          "selector": "TSParameterProperty",
          "message": "Parameter property restricted."
        }
      ]
    }
  }

Yeah this one made me smile.

(not GP) with React, declarative JavaScript code can result in HTML. JS -> HTML

Server side frameworks (the usual favourites) have existing ways for code to result in HTML. Ruby/PHP/Java -> HTML

Vue on the other hand can sit within HTML. So you can sprinkle in client-side logic in the views while still generally going with the grain of your server side framework.

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/6cece3f49eb87779...

See `if can?(current_user, :admin_issue, @project)` (Ruby) and `"v-if" => "issue.labels.length === 0"` (Vue)

Which of course, should have people wonder if climate change model couldn't also be off by orders of magnitude ?

Does the world even see the accuracy of modelling that dictated public policies?

Actually, I am hopeful that the general sentiment of science-led public policy is more likely to be improving this year. Exactly because countries that didn't confine showed a VAST difference compared to some others that did.

Privileged countries with functioning governments were able to trust their experts, act early and decisively, resulting in not digging mass graves.

Does the world see this? I hope so.

Thanks for engaging with this.

The idea is the format, domain, open source, to chip away at some major emission sources. If people liked the format it might have lived!

Who I had in mind for the first cut were the affluent - people with an internet connection, from countries with high per capita emissions.

I find the point relevant that the solution isn’t going to be 1 magic thing (ie sequestration or nuclear) but by chipping away on all fronts.

Haha oh ok, I see.

Nuclear would be great, maybe not on fault lines.

The context is emissions. Will edit, ta

Learn hidden carbon cost

Hoping for early suggestions/contributions. Maybe the first cut is too wordy or polarising.

We could end up with an interesting solution with constraints like:

  - Self-hosted mostly-static sites
  - Open protocol

  - Own domain
  - Own site is portal for aggregated views
  - Extensions (Install events, chat, ...)
  - Rust (minimal RAM)

Difficult to pull off, but they could make it happen.

The earned value would need to transition to the non-proof-of-work favoured network.

Turmoil would take care of the $ value of the forks (crypto confidence is rattled enough as it is)

You may not be able to be so forthcoming about the transition

Shut it down.

Can a couple of these people agree that a well-coordinated merge & release to sabotage proof of work is ethical.

Oh, it's happening! That's fantastic.

Good luck with the NBN lottery! In inner-city Brisbane I'm lucky to have NBN and non-NBN fibre options. But I would cancel fixed fibre in a heartbeat for unlimited 5G if it meant only taking a bandwidth hit.
