Apologies for so many questions, this is a very interesting line of reasoning. What makes petroleum artificial compared to any other substance found on (or in) earth? It seems you are proposing that "any food that has had a petroleum p

"Hours spent on the project" would be a much more useful metric, with no confounding variables. As it is, the mere mention of interleaving time with your kids and time engrossed in tech hits a nerve at time when IMO too many paren

I'll bite. "between time with the kids" is another person's "during time with the kids". For me, "between time with the kids" means my kids are engaged in another activity that does not require my inp

On the other hand, I think this would solve Claude Code's current problems with their React-rendered terminal app.

I don't see why you need to bring your kids into this, and as a parent any suggestion of being distracted by tech during time with the kids raises my suspicions. We have a strict no laptops and no phones rule when the kids are around (

What have you done with CTRL+SHIFT+T??

From the list of problems they are experiencing with rendering in the terminal, it sounds like they want a GUI (Electron would be a good fit).

I don't see how you can blame terminal applications - they typically have been able to dump around 1Mb of output per second for decades. https://martin.ankerl.com/2007/09/01/comprehensive-linux-ter... Co

I'm with you on this one. "Terminals are too slow to support lots of text so we had to change this feature in unpopular ways" is just not a plausible reason, as terminals have been able to dump ~1Mb per second for decades. Th

Do you have any examples of slow terminals, and what kind of maximum characters per second they have?

It can be distilled from petroleum, and there is the key distinction that wasn't answered - are "natural" ingredients ones that could be made by "natural" (I'm assuming that "biochemical" is meant

They've re-branded for the release, and removed "Universal".

Even if it were distilled from petroleum?

On the upside, at some point the ground in those infamous electronics "recycling" towns will become so contaminated they'll be able to strip-mine for rare earths!

There's a rich heritage and history of solvent-based foods. Vanilla essence, sloe gin, etc.

Can you define a "highly artifical substance" in this context? As you desctibe it, it seems to be "a subtance that can't be made entirely from feedstock that was once living".

by SPICLK2 7mo ago
Tumeric is a chemical that has been extracted from plants! Your scenario holds for any part of any food processing, not just food colours. The issue is that the definition of "natural" when applied to food is impossible to pin dow

I'm not sure who I trust less to handle package integrity, the 3rd party hosting provider that Notepad++ used, or Microsoft.
20.
by SPICLK2 7mo ago
Strictly, no. But it was a vulnerability in the design of Notepad++, key elements here being the featureset that requires frequent updates and the lack of integrity checks during the upgrade process. This has prompted me to move on from Not

Have you measured the ripple on the SMPSU output when dimming?
22.
by SPICLK2 7mo ago
It's almost certainly because they believed the datasheets of the chosen LEDs.
23.
by SPICLK2 7mo ago
Honestly, this lamp seems very dangerous just because of this. You'd have to warn guests not to trip and fall onto it, and keep kids away from it.

by SPICLK2 7mo ago
How does the operating temperature of the LEDs affect your projected L90 time?
25.
by SPICLK2 7mo ago
It has to be an SMPSU in constant current mode, not a linear power supply. I'm sure it does still affect the colour, though.

by SPICLK2 7mo ago
It's still dissipating near 600W. "I can put my hands on it for a few seconds" tells me it's dangerously hot and would not pass any kind of safety certification. How many other objects do you have in your house that heat

I can't imagine the customer base for people who want a ~600W metal disc suspended at eye level is very big.
28.
by SPICLK2 7mo ago
Have you taken surface temperature measurements of the heat sink? A ~600W hot plate suspended at eye level is no joke, and certainly dangerous if it fell over or someone tripped onto it. For that matter, have you taken any temperature measu
29.
by SPICLK2 8mo ago
Fair point. Given that this product has adjustable colour temperature, I really doubt all of the lumen, CRI and watt values. It sounds like the designer also got stung when the chosen LEDs didn't give the expected power output.
30.
by SPICLK2 8mo ago
True enough, although CREE's XT-E offers 140 lm/w at a CRI of 80 and a colour temp of 3000k. I assume this product has not met any regulatory requirements, because selling a ~600W hot plate suspended at eye level cannot be legal.
