Can't be both? Add work from home to the list too.

Often like 1 in 100 js files?

Simply because Earth is too small a place for humanity to limit itself to.

Where is electricity .5 per kwh. That's crazy high.

At that cost solar must pay off very quickly.


PG&E in Northern California. Same for Edison in Southern California.

The thing about my area (Peninsula, 20 minutes south of SF) is that its not hot enough to really justify A/C, my electrical+gas bill averages out below $200 a month and my roof is old enough where it would need to be replaced before solar is installed. So a $15-$20000 expense cost for solar would actually be closer to $30-$40,000 with roof replacement, plus potentially bringing ancient wiring in my home to code will cost another handfull of thousands.

Its akin to trying to fix a slow memory leak in your application and realizing you need to also upgrade a bunch of dependencies which no longer support the current version of your tools AND refactor the frontend.


I was shopping for a range extender version and bought a battery only i3 when I saw one for the right price. Then I got a i3 rex for parts and it made me really appreciate the bev. So much more room in the engine bay and simpler overall.


Replace gamblers with futures market and I agree.


Commodities futures markets have an actual purpose, which is to make business inputs (or outputs) more predictable. Like if I know I need ten tons of corn next year, it's safer to buy futures now than to wait and see how the price of corn fluctuates over that time, potentially sabotaging my business operation. (Of making corn chips.)


Similar business cases can be made for futures from polymarket. For example if I start a business in the USA I may want to hedge by buying some futures Jesus will not return before 2027.


Do we typically [0] have a problem with people sabotaging industries to manipulate the futures market?

[0] Edit: Originally wrote "currently", but then I remembered the current White House, whose various crimes are being studiously ignored by the Republican congress.


49mb web page? How about a 49meg go cli.


It sucks when it's dark outside at 4:30 pm. That means many people don't even see much of the sun during the work week.


I have lived at high latitudes and agree; funnily enough around that time of year fog and cloud cover often meant no sun even if you were out during the day, records of 62 days with no sight of the sun. Crushing stuff.

But the situation you describe is literally not physically possible where I currently live due to proximity to the equator and being west of the line of longitude our clock runs on during standard time, but DST demands we wake up in darkness.

How the workday in the modern economy is fundamentally unjust. You shouldn't have to sign away your ability to see the sun for a job (unless at extremely high latitudes or extreme weather conditions).


Some sort of web based archive of applications/etc where you can boot them up in your browser.


That’s what I’d like to use it for as well, but it’s difficult to do so because there’s no way to edit the disk image.

Any advice on how to create a JSLinux clone with a specific file pre-installed and auto-launching would be much appreciated!


Working with VMs always felt difficult because of this. So authoring was built-in to Docker. Now you can use Apptron to author and embed a Linux system on a web page. This aspect is usable, but it's only going to get better.


I personally feel that people are coming to realize that whatever they build can be copied in a short amount of time so its value is much lower than it would have been in the past. So what's worth building?
