Ok I stand corrected these are NOT tetrapods. Sorry for the confusion

In Germany (on the island Sylt) they recently removed all of these structures again after decades of them being a staple on Sylt's beaches. They were found to have no positive effect on protecting their shores.

I'm having a hard time to find a good source to quote but look for: "sylt tetrapoden" if you want to dive deeper.

Hm:

SEAN: Alright, let's get into it. Two things you've named — let me be straight about both.

SpaceX: it's private. You can't buy SpaceX stock or options on any public market.

SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) is a general-purpose, open-source analog electronic circuit simulator. [1]

For the uninitiated:

Tauri is a framework for building tiny, fast binaries for all major desktop and mobile platforms. Developers can integrate any frontend framework that compiles to HTML, JavaScript, and CSS for building their user experience while leveraging languages such as Rust, Swift, and Kotlin for backend logic when needed.

TLA+ is a formal specification language developed by Leslie Lamport. It is used for designing, modelling, documentation, and verification of programs, especially concurrent systems and distributed systems. TLA+ is considered to be exhaustively-testable pseudocode, and its use likened to drawing blueprints for software systems;

Does it really matter if in real-world-use 99% of the users never hit any limit? And I cannot blame anyone to use "unlimited" instead of "fair use, with reasonably large limits so that you will (probably) never see any restrictions in your use of the product"

I'm not affiliated but have waited for this day for the past 2 months :) Best of luck!

Oh damn, I thought this is a Show HN :D

I get a 403 for some cities. E.g. Wyk (auf Föhr) returns 403 on this .pbf resource: https://city-roads.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/nov-02-2020/36...

This is so cool! High five to you Armaan :) I will show the game and the backis stories to my 7 year old tomorrow. There is a decent chance you'll become his new hero. Hope you continue to put out more cool stuff into this world. It definitively needs it! Greetings from Germany

Form their website:

The math behind it is real, and it uses the same calculations that real grid operators use to keep the lights on. However, the amount of power that each power plant actually produces depends on the price they offer. This price varies wildly from hour to hour, and neither the price nor the power amount is publicly available.

Instead, pypsa-eur makes assumptions on prices for solar, wind, coal, nuclear, etc. based on historical averages, and then runs an optimisation algorithm to cover all consumption for the least cost of production.

We've been using their products in Germany for a while now and they do their job just fine. I've been on the lookput for a similarly priced hoster in the US a while back and couldn't find one. Today netcup announced they are opening a data center in Virgina, so thought it might be worth sharing. I've no affiliation with netcup in any way (other than being a customer for years now).

They seem to do PITR [1], not sure about other features. The docs and particularly the Postgres section of it seem very thin.

Yeah it was. But the official number [1] seems to be 764, so it's directionally correct.

We use Espo (https://www.espocrm.com/) and while it's not the most "shiny object" ever it gets the job done relatively ok for our small team

That's not far from Bansko and that dude that runs Nomad fest there, right? https://nomadlist.com/bansko

would be so nice if they could make these projects a little more suitable for families. but I might need to see this when it's done anyways :)

Aviation Herald always has great coverage on incidents like these https://avherald.com/h?article=50b0742c&opt=0 . Glad nobody got hurt!

:D Great! What are you up to nowadays?

(slight ot, sorry!) This brings back great memories of one of the best assignment from my college time: We had an "Agile web development" course (~2007) with a precursory Ruby 101 workshop as well as a pre-course assignment to "create a shell in Ruby". It was such a joy to hack on this and learn that way. It was clearly wayyy too vast of a task to ever _complete_ it, but I learned so much Ruby there and couldn't stop working on the project. Thanks Carsten Bormann for being a great teacher!

And thanks op for reminding me of this :)

Yesss! I remember Gene Rally. Felt like a mindblowingly spiritual successor to Slicks 'n Slide :) Great memories!

Yes, but a 747 wide-body is a lot larger and hence needs a hub-and-spoke route network to fill these giant planes at a hub to make the flight viable economically. The narrow-body A321 can be filled with ~200 passengers (compared to almost 500 pax capacity for a 747-800) at many smaller airports, making long-distance point-to-point routes from these airports viable.

The concept of "Readme Driven Development" [1] seems similar, but smaller in scope. I've actually found it very pragmatic/productive to, especially for smaller libraries, start with writing the Readme.

Great video from the SQLite founder that covers a lot of ground in terms of how indices work under the hood: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gpxnbly9bz4

Great post, last updated 2016. Might be helpful context on discussed architectures and processors.
