I'm a physics layman, and I'm having some trouble with uniting the content of your comment with the fact that existing magnetic confinement experiments have reported maintaining a plasma at the right temperature for longer times (not with fusion, but with microwave heating, and with the power of those heaters in the 10MW range).

Have I understood the consequences of those reports wrong? Does the heat loss you talk about only occur with fusion? (And if so, is it even a problem if the conditions for fusion to occur can be created by external heating this "easily"?)

I'll assume the inlet is below water level / at the bottom of the tank…

Argh, using this would cause name collisions in my brain. https://github.com/agersant/polaris/ ^^

> Who says we need to fill it up in a reasonable time frame?

So you yourself are saying anything longer than a month is unreasonable?

In any case, this lab experiment will need much improvement in speed and energy requirements.

At 75 MB/s, this thing takes 30 days to fill. How much slower would you like?

Well, if you're playing with wasm like this post, you could sidestep canvas and render the image on the wasm side. c.f. https://github.com/plotters-rs/plotters-wasm-demo

My monitor doesn't have dcc. I've worked around that part by activating automatic input selection and xset dpms force off'ing on the device I want to switch away from.

Can anyone compare this to https://radicle.xyz/? (Or am I wrong thinking they're similar? I've used neither.)

I suppose gitstr would have the benefit that you'd already have the public key of whatever person you'd want to send the patches to? Because you learned of the existence of their repos via nostr, or so?

Good to know. In case Astrophage ever comes visiting us.

I did mostly think that. So what's the thing in the glass that gets hit like the "another pool ball"?

How does this help accessibility, though? (Maybe I don't know enough about HTML. Is the usual way to produce a descending enumeration to write the elements in reverse order and then re-reverse them in CSS or so, which makes them be read wrong by screen readers?)

It's surprisingly common for fledgling programming languages… cough https://accidentallyquadratic.tumblr.com/post/153545455987/r...

(I know https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38138223, but at least I'm not the first one this time.)

I should have recognized the username… (Is signal handling even required here?)

Many editors can execute shell commands, so this isn't the same at all.

I've seen this attitude before. In that specific case, someone tried to not depend on the signal_hook crate and manually (unsafely) implement signal handling… without knowing that there's a ton of pitfalls to it.

(The signal_hook crate even contains documentation on those pitfalls. https://docs.rs/signal-hook-registry/1.4.1/signal_hook_regis...)

I mean sure, reinvent the wheel. But it might do good to at least have an inkling what those 105 dependencies for your http listener did.
