julosflb··on Minimal 16x16 Dots Coding Environment
That's brillant!
julosflb··on Is wind power’s future in deep water?
Working also in that space, designing floaters using such tools... which software was it?
julosflb··on Chemist Uses CO2 to Convert Seawater into Drinking Water
Indeed, domestic uses account only for 11% of the global fresh water usage. Main uses are agricultural and industry (http://www.fao.org/aquastat/en/overview/methodology/water-us...)
julosflb··on A new design ship in the Philippines is partly powered by wave energy
Second order wave effects can cause drifting also.
julosflb··on A new design ship in the Philippines is partly powered by wave energy
Indeed. A pond will probably not have the right wave. But the concept can be easily tested with a small scale model in any of the numerous wave tanks around the world for a tiny fraction of the cost of a full scale prototype... This kind of wave action scales very well using so called Froud scaling.
julosflb··on Why is the Fessenheim 2 nuclear power plant closing in France?
Altough avaible energy is indeed abundant, it is quite a challenge to extract it at scale. The issue with this kind of system is that they usually rely on complex mechanical systems that usually don't play well in offshore conditions and are maintenance nightmares. Some new concept are trying to get rid of mechanical parts using electro active polymer, but that still requires years of development...
julosflb··on Show HN: Marple – Visualising millions of datapoints for engineers
Nice! Having developped a tool similar in features at my current job, I'm about to start on my own a similar projects... Happy to see that this area get some traction.
julosflb··on Ask HN: Is there still a place for native desktop apps?
One trivial benefit of web app worth to be considered is that they do not require installation. When targeting business users, this can big a big plus as it turns out that installing/running unknown software in corporate environment is usually not permitted. Most users will give up testing if it requires getting IT to install the software.
julosflb··on Rebuilding our tech stack for the new facebook.com
Could not agree more. It is barely usable now. The exact opposite of the original spirit. A complete failure.
julosflb··on Over 2,000 Italian health workers infected
They managed to quickly break the exponential evolution probably with a very rapid and strong response. Could be that Latin people are less disciplined when it comes to adhere to restrictions. See https://twitter.com/PrieurJulien/status/1239227017549283330?...
julosflb··on PandaPy has the speed of NumPy and the usability of Pandas
Me.I particularly love pandas. Sure its API is quite complex and I need to refer to the documentation more often than I would like. But the doc. is be pretty solid. And the set of features unmatched in the python ecosystem. Nothing can really beats pandas when you need to quickly do some medium sized (ie. in RAM) data exploration in python.
julosflb··on Back pain is a problem which is badly treated
This holds true for me as well. If i'm not doing some light regular exercice, I start to experience back pain.
julosflb··on Digital Twins Are Reinventing Innovation
Wind turbine operations for example. Digital twins are experimented for predicting the condition of the turbines.
julosflb··on Camera sales are falling sharply
Agree. Also nothing can beat the pleasure of looking through a real optical viewfinder especially those of full frame cameras. For me half of the pleasure of taking pictures happens when pressing the shutter.
