We already have electric oceanic ships. They’re called nuclear submarines.

Allseas is putting the reactors on their vessels as well iirc.

Unless you use enums, of course.

Or constructor property initializers.

    constructor(public foo: string){}

Is a typescript feature.

Thanks for the detailed log on what it takes to build your own model and how you prepared your own dataset. Interesting read!

Purely out of curiosity, what are some websites that actually make use of XSLT?

jauco · 4 months ago

Skechers used to :)

Also world of warcraft used to.

Can’t think of recent examples though.

I haven’t worked closely with Datalog, but whenever I come across tools that use it, they always seem to extend vanilla Datalog (like this one).

Are there any notable implementations of plain Datalog? If not, what’s the reason? Does vanilla Datalog have major limitations? Just curious.

I think it’s similar to how every sql implementation adds their own extensions.

But iirc datomic came with a quite vanilla datalog implementation.

The solution I use for this problem is a vs code excalidraw plugin that saves the drawing inside the png rendering of it.

So you include the image into your markdown or code comments and can then edit it in a vscode window.

Another one I used for a while is asciiflow.com or the monodraw mac app

jauco commented on Ask HN: Is Linux for laptop worth the trouble? · Posted by u/abhixec

It's a question of preference.

* Recent Macbooks have an incredible battery life, that's for sure.

* macOS is not Linux, and Linux is not macOS.

I personally like Linux a lot more than macOS, therefore I run Linux on my laptop. It's not a pain at all: just make sure you get a laptop that is well supported (seems a lot easier than 20 years ago, I personally run on ThinkPads).

The way you write (e.g. you see running Linux on a laptop as "a trouble"), you sound like you like macOS better but were using Linux because it was cheaper. In that case go for a Macbook if it's now affordable!

Just to provide a counterpoint (and to show that there is no 1 true answer) I switched from my linux machine to a mac when my carefully selected hardware kept having a graphics card crash when closing/unclosing the lid. And this was the last straw, it’s an endless sequence of micro cuts (power throttling bugs, scroll being different across apps, issues with crappy hardware at a client)

On the other hand most of these microcuts can be researched, solved or scripted away. With my mac I have far fewer, but the ones you have, you’re often stuck with. Generally these are about flakiness with the automagic stuff. Like the camera feed switching to your iphone for a while (whether you want it or not), then suddenly refusing for weeks even when you do want it.

Also, the mac has no tiling wm that comes within a parsec of i3. I miss i3 daily. So. Much. Especially with multiple screens.

But then again, I enjoy opening the lid of my laptop daily as well. And being able to close the lid and put it in my bag, without first listening if it succesfully went to sleep. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I guess what I’m saying is: pick the annoyances that give you the smallest emotional response at this time in your life.

Newer versions of node can run typescript directly[1]. The one where types are simply stripped is considered stable[2] (but you can’t use syntax that node doesn’t understand, such as enums).

They’re working on making features work that require some transpilation as well
