<p>I came here to say nearly the same.  I used xsv SO MUCH at my last job, because the intermediate format of everything in the particular project was CSV, and I just could plow through everything using it.  And of course BurntSushi/toml is in various go projects I have worked on.<p>I'm glad that get to carry on doing whatever makes you happy, and for your whole family.</p>

<p>I have been using Dirty Labs dishwasher powder for about a year, since we got a new dishwasher, and inspired by some of his older videos on this topic.  The performance has been good, no complaints.  I don't torture-test my dishwasher like Alec does :).   With the powder, I can do the whole some-on-the-door, some-in-the-dispenser thing mentioned here, or just use less for light loads.  It is without a doubt not a budget option.<p>One aspect I like about it is that they have a fragrance-free variant, and even the "fragrance" one is not too bad.  A second aspect I like is that it's biodegradable, et cetera.  So a bit lighter on the environment, I hope, and the SDS is prominently available on the website.<p>I think another thing which is under-appreciated is that you need to know how to do the basic cleaning chores for your dishwasher-- for example if it has a filter, learn to clean it!  Otherwise its ability to clean will probably be compromised.</p>

<p>Yes, technology wise, I think it could have been done; once I left Sun/Oracle I stopped paying attention, so I can't speak to what else was done later.</p>

<p>Rereading the zones paper now makes me cringe, but I was in my 20s, what can I say.  I think the argument we made that holds up is that this was designed to be a technology for server consolidation, and the opening section sets some context about how primitive things were in Sun's enterprise customer base at the time.<p>I have a lot of admiration for what Docker dared to do-- to really think differently about the problem in a way which changed application deployment for everyone.<p>Also I can tell you at the time that we were not especially concerned about HP or IBM's solutions in this space; nor did we face those container solutions competitively in any sales situation that I can recall.  This tech was fielded in the wake of the dot-com blowout-- and customers had huge estates of servers often at comically low utilization.  So this was a good opportunity for Sun to say "We are aligned with your desire to get maximum value out of the hardware you already have."<p>It's a blast to see this come up from time to time on HN, thanks.</p>

<p>Jason Lango, the original author (who I know personally), came from Brown University.  Back in 1998, Brown was an 95%-Solaris shop, and so Solaris-specific APIs like Doors, its flavor of /proc, and its unique two level thread model (later removed by the late great Roger Faulkner) were topics of great interest amongst the systems students.<p>For at least one semester, the student operating system project was known as DoorsNT.</p>

<p>I was curious about these competing claims, so I googled for the answer.<p><a href="https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/3173378/11-billion-in-additional-security-assistance-for-ukraine/" rel="nofollow">https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/317337...</a><p>Dated Sept. 28, 2022<p>"In total, the United States has now committed approximately $16.9 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since January 2021. Since 2014, the United States has committed approximately $19 billion in security assistance to Ukraine more than $16.2 billion since the beginning of Russia’s unprovoked and brutal invasion on February 24."<p>I'm not sure that all of the money/material has yet reached Ukraine.  But that is what is said to be committed.</p>

<p>@Craig, I wonder if you've thought of making this available (would it work??) for test case construction.  Today (working in Go) I start a postgres in a docker container for testing database code.  Could I instead use a go wasm runtime, and start postgres inside of it?  That would potentially free me from the docker dependency in these tests.</p>

<p>I used to work on a product for secure small-biz Wifi, and so dogfooded my own product in my house.  When that was over and I took that out of my house, I had my eyes on Ubiquiti, and it is an impressive ecosystem.   But as others have said, it's out of stock all the time, and Ubiqiti are teasing people right now with their next-gen product which is available but also unobtainable.<p>Eventually I picked the Asus ZenWifi system, and honestly it works great (I have no affiliation with Asus).  There's no cloud account to create when you install it.  The app is acceptable.  There are various security things you can turn on which seem to require cloud assistance, but the core product seems to work very nicely.  Any time you try to turn on something which might cause the system to share extra data, a popup appears to explain that to you.<p>It's so powerful, Wifi-wise, that I bought three nodes and only deployed two.  I use it with Ethernet backhaul but it has a dedicated radio for wireless backhaul.  It has ethernet LAN ports on each node, and each node is identical to every other node (i.e. there is no "base" and "satellite").  I went from spotty Wifi throughout my 2,000 sq ft house to very strong Wifi throughout.  I wrung my hands for a long time because I gave up VLANs and some other things I wanted, and then said the heck with it.</p>

<p>> US isn't even in the top 10 when it comes to carbon emissions per capita<p>I think you are correct when we use this very narrow measure.  However, please see:  <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions_by_the_United_States" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions_by_th...</a><p>The US is (a) among largest polluters and (b) from that club it is up at or near the top of per-capita pollution.  Quoting the article:<p>The United States produced 6.6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2019,[3] the second largest in the world after greenhouse gas emissions by China and among the countries with the highest greenhouse gas emissions per person. In 2019 China is estimated to have emitted 27% of world GhG, followed by the United States with 11%, then India with 6.6%.[4] In total the United States has emitted 400 billion metric tons, more than any other country.[5] This is over 15 tonnes per person and, amongst the top ten emitters, is the second highest country by greenhouse gas emissions per person after Canada.[6] Because coal-fired power stations are gradually shutting down, in the 2010s emissions from electricity generation fell to second place behind transportation which is now the largest single source.[7] In 2019, 29% of the GHG emissions of the United States were from transportation, 25% from electricity, 23% from industry, 13% from commercial and residential buildings and 10% from agriculture.[8]</p>

<p>This thing seems like a good start but I have a bug report for you.  For me at least, it's a deal-breaker.  When browsing a source file, (firefox 32.0 on macos) pageup/pagedown/spacebar and up/down arrows do not scroll the code, even when the code pane has focus.  Pressing any of these give focus to the search box.  I need to be able to use keyboard navigation at least for scrolling.</p>
