They mention it:

> There is an efficiency penalty converting back to electricity; round-trip efficiency is 40%-45%, but sometimes the steady supply of electricity is worth it.

I'm sure it is by revenue.

I think the Daughter From California will be perceived and treated the same way by care providers regardless of whether they end up being right, and regardless of their actual vs perceived motivation, so from that perspective I think it still fits.

Doctors are just people - they don't appreciate it when somebody parachutes in to question their work, and they make mistakes like anybody else.

I was this person for my dad's care, heading back to Canada from California after his third ambulance ride to the hospital and subsequent discharge a few hours later. Turns out his first doctor at the ER had correctly identified the life-threatening condition he had developed, and when the shift changed the new physician ignored the handoff instructions and sent him home. If I hadn't pushed to get the ER to look again he would be dead now. I think the syndrome described is real, and enough doctors are bad enough at practicing medicine that it saves lives.

Yeah, you drive things with https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/window/requ... since it's dynamic

I feel like you might be (intentionally or not) combining these two things:

That's sick, great work.

It might be worthwhile to expand a bit in the docs on the problems you see with JS concurrency (why you think it sucks, maybe some examples) and then show how ts-chan fixes those problems.

Here's a recent study which provides physiological evidence of aphantasia: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/04/220420092150.h...

I'm curious which features highland provides which RxJS doesn't. From what I understand, composable streams from any data source with backpressure support is pretty much the definition of Rx.

Sometimes simplicity is a feature, too, though.

I disagree as fervently as possible; always use reference counting smart pointers. It is substantially harder to guarantee exception safety if you don't make use of them. You'll also be able to program more quickly without devoting extra mental cycles to make sure everything is cleaned up properly.

Using valgrind IN ADDITION is a good idea, but there is no reason to avoid smart pointer memory management.

I run a Windows install natively, as it's far more reliable than any desktop Linux distribution I have ever used. I then run Ubuntu 9.10 in a virtual machine on one of my monitors or in Unity mode or what have you. This works very well for me; when Ubuntu inevitably breaks, it's trivial to revert to a working snapshot, and it doesn't take down the majority of what I'm doing.

Linux still has a long way to go improving usability and user experience, as well as improving the generally poor quality of Linux desktop software.

I really like Linux. I use it daily, and I would like it to succeed. I hope that the things I've mentioned are improved to bring it up to par with newer versions of OS X and Windows.

That was the first solution I had for #1. I'm currently at the following, but I think there has to be a better one because it's not clear that it would be possible.

G places the amulet in his safe, attaches his padlock and locks it with his key, then sends it to K, keeping his key. K receives G's safe, attaches his own padlock in addition to G's (there is a "large clasp", no mention of how large or how many padlocks it could support) and sends it back to G without sending his key. G removes his own padlock, and sends the chest back. K removes his padlock and has the amulet.

This is a lot like the conductive metal buttons the city installed earlier this year at a number of pedestrian crossings here in Ottawa. They've worked great all summer, they don't wear out as quickly because they aren't mechanical, but they're just now starting to realize that once February hits and it's -30C outside you'll have to take off your gloves and touch some metal to cross the street. Oh well, I guess the cost of progress is sometimes being stuck to a metal pole.

No don't you'll kill us all

I hope that by "top shelf" they mean "will be considered at all"... with the exception of the last bit being entirely unrelated to web development, it was all really basic and the solutions should be required knowledge.

Fortunately, Canada has a sane policy on public health care and this isn't nearly the issue it is in the US.

You've nailed it; they did it backwards :(

I'd like to thank them for creating a better parody of themselves than anybody else could have.

I developed for Linux in C++ for about 8 months recently. We did all of our development from Windows with Visual Studio and Visual Assist X because Linux doesn't have anything even close to the same quality (Qt Creator is only about a year away from catching up, and is brilliant software, but isn't there yet).

Boost's unit test library has memory leak detection built in, and Intel's performance analysis tools integrated into Visual Studio utterly trounce Valgrind. ICC embarrassingly outperforms GCC.

Linux development is still way the hell behind, and if the article's to be believed, apparently blissfully unaware.

That's really cool that this guy thinks dynamic languages have the potential to be faster than C++. Maybe he can write a second article when they are actually faster, with some properly done benchmarks or some valid technical examples.

Sorry, I've read the article but I'm still a bit confused. Search engine aggregation has existed for a while. Besides rounded corners, what differentiates this search engine?

"Phoenix is pretty, but that’s not really the point. What matters is that it suggests new kinds of functionality with a new kind of search experience."

Which new kinds of functionality? How is the search experience new or different?

I really hope that's not you laughing like an idiot the entire time. It would have been far funnier without.

The title presents a contradiction in terms, but it's a fantastic paper nonetheless.

I don't feel your concept is compelling. Assuming I did feel the concept was compelling, I would use a text file as suggested, and not your site. The page feels extremely bare, which I imagine is due to my having enabled Adblock Plus.

This seems to be the point. "How to get noticed by passively trolling internet communities." He's doing an excellent job, I've certainly noticed him and devoted a portion of my day to being irritated by his continued presence.

"Nothing important that wasn't an obvious downfall has happened since then."

I don't know, I had thought that sending human beings to the moon was a step forward.

"Edwardian Science and technology was the last time we actually had real progress in science and technology."

Again, I had thought nanotechnology and computing theory and hundreds of branches of medicine and myriad other fields had been conceived of and advanced in the time since the Edwardian era. But you seem to know best, Lupole Boucher.

"Social welfare programs like the Large Hadron Collider are brobdinagian, billion dollar avoidances of the Basic Question."

This irritates me. Using obscure wording and speaking intentionally over your audience is a tactic used when you're frightened of your arguments (or lack of) being torn apart or exposed. (He didn't even spell "brobdingnagian" correctly, the prick.)

I suppose there is some value to having read that, I can now use it as a cautionary tale and steer my life firmly away from the direction his seems to have taken.

Yes, it's a family of technologies called Comet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_%28programming%29
