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 …

AI is not reaonable.

"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…

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 doe…

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 n…

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/compre…

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…

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 "bioch…

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".

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 "natu…

I'm not sure who I trust less to handle package integrity, the 3rd party hosting provider that Notepad++ used, or Microsoft.

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 t…

Have you measured the ripple on the SMPSU output when dimming?

It's almost certainly because they believed the datasheets of the chosen LEDs.

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.

How does the operating temperature of the LEDs affect your projected L90 time?

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.
