This is Google's fault.

They made Search worse so people have to resort to AI chatbots.


Your home page consumes 35% of my GPU, that's crazy. Maybe tone down the background animation a bit?


I've always thought the name EdgeDB is odd since it's not an actual database software and more of a Prisma competitor.


You could say the same thing about a refined fuel tanker.


Japan has plenty of homeless people but you don't see them because they're staying in cybercafés.


I've seen a bunch just camping out under an overpass just outside of Akihabara station.


Is cybercafe free?


Title says "everything" but author didn't mention Android/iOS apps.


https://native.hotwired.dev/ — I’m curious how well this works


And this just landed too: https://pragprog.com/titles/jmnative/hotwire-native-for-rail...

I’ve done one app with Hotwire Native and it’s a pretty interesting solution. However, just like a truly complex and dynamic web UI can reach a level of polish with React that is hard with Hotwire, a truly complex and dynamic mobile UI can reach a level of polish with Swift/Kotlin that is truly hard with Hotwire. It makes the vast majority of experiences much faster to build, but certain complex experiences are hard to get polished.

However, Hotwire (web & native) can get you almost the full way there and you can just drop a React/Swift/Kotlin view in for parts of the app where you need it.


Inflation were caused by mass factories shutdown in China and South East Asia. When they reopen they got so many orders that they simply increase their prices.


Do you have any references for that? I think it could be part of the story but I still think printing trillions of dollars will make things more expensive, especially when you consider where this money went!


go get em tiger


I searched for weather in my area in Google then added that page as a PWA in Android.


I wish some of the HN crowd can take a crack at building an affordable hybrid inverter with good software. Fronius/Ecoflow/Anker solutions are too damn expensive.

Currently the cheap hybrid inverter on the market usually comes with crappy monitoring software.


What would it take for a solar cell to directly output alternating current?

Edit: prior art: https://www.winlab.rutgers.edu/~crose/428_html/projects11/Di...


Alternating sun and moon exposure.


So Earth spinning very fast


It might be easier to spin the panel.


Micro inverters are a thing: https://enphase.com/en-au/installers/microinverters

They work for individual solar panels.


Yes. These output AC per-panel. Connect'em in parallel. Presumably the amperage is related to the incident light intensity.


Entertaining idea, the panel with a 50Hz fan blade in front of it, but in practice it's much better to not compromise the beautiful simplicity of the photodiode and just stick an inverter on the back.


Happy to pick up the gauntlet. EE here with strong skills in ucontrollers, comms, and software stack, seeking to partner with other EEs to take on the power electronics part. Anyone interested, please LMK.


ugh tell me about it. I have a Delta inverter.. the interface is rou out of the late 90's... its so bad it passes the password through the url in plain text.

am actively looking to replace it
