It's surprising how far there is from discovery to production for these kinds of things. It's 14 years ago now that I designed the front cover for Advanced Energi Materials[1] wherein my friend described his similar discovery of the incredible properties of LiMnO4 with Carbon Nanotubes. Even though he had it working with measurable improvements in the 20-40x range he said it would take 10-20 years to reach a state for mass production.

Thanks a lot! I haven't done much on the marketing side, but I always felt it had great potential.

It needs a little tlc to align with the latest iOS update changes, but my time is too limited at the moment.

Shameless plug, but back in 2014 trying to play with swift I made Type Nine, and I'm still using it to this day[1]

I also did a few other experiments that I unfortunately haven't had time to explore further[2]

New comment by porsager in "Denmark's government aims to ban access to social media for children under 15"

porsager — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 21:53:31 +0000

Indeed.. All those people that have kids but are not fit to be called a parent so they need the government to do their job!

If you're a parent then act like one. You're perfectly able to enact that ban yourself - why do you need the governments help?

Hehe. I didn't read it like that at all, so no worries

Thanks a lot. You're spot on about issue triage etc. I haven't had the time to keep up, but I read all issues when they're created and deal with anything critical. I'm using Postgres.js myself in big deployments and know others are too. The metrics branch should be usable, and I could probably find time to get that part released. It's been ready for a while. I do have some important changes in the pipeline for v4, but won't be able to focus on it until December.

Sad if you think so, but no - democracy perhaps.

Edit: Perhaps it's the native danish that tricks me, but by "inclusion" I refer to the practice of forcing and keeping people together - no matter their behaviour. Especially in public schools. Consequences of bad behaviour is not felt on the person doing it, but the ones around having to accept it.

Do you follow their lead, or do you try to set a better example? Does it become harder to do what you know is best?

Nope - it disappeared at the cost of "inclusion".

And even so they can't follow demand for their popular chipsets that aren't AI related but in high demand. We currently can't get N1xx for our devices even though we're ok paying the recent increase in price.
