Re:The Nitrogen Trap on Monday March 16, 2026 @08:36AM (#47398135)
> This is the story of the Nitrogen Trap. It is not primarily a story about war, though war is its catalyst. It is not primarily a story about oil, though Brent crude closed above $100 per barrel on March 12. It is not primarily a story about commodity markets, though fertilizer equities have surged roughly forty percent in fourteen trading days. It is the story of a civilization that optimized every node of its food production system for cost efficiency while concentrating existential dependencies in chokepoints it cannot control, inputs it does not stockpile, and insurance markets it does not regulate

While everyone focuses on oil, other things also stopped flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, and the ripple effects will only become clear in a few months

Re:No, it doesn't cost Anthropic $5k per Claude Code user on Tuesday March 10, 2026 @03:28AM (#47320090)
You can use `npx ccusage` to check your local logs and see how much it would have cost through the API.
The abstract mentions the researchers couldn't find causation. So a potential 4% increase, worth comparing with the 100% increase from living next to a coal plant https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11301007/

A similar study in Korea https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12889-026-26715-8 found "No consistent gradient by residential proximity was observed across sites".

Oh, nice to see KISS showcased here :) I actually started the project 13 years ago... Seems like a lifetime ago! A big thank you to all the devs that contributed and still contribute over time :)

In the meantime, you can try Beeper which does that through Matrix. It connects all the apps you mentioned in a single app.

They do. For nuclear, they also include cost of decommissioning the power plant completely.

Re:Migrating 1 terabyte of files from OneDrive to Nextcloud on Friday November 18, 2022 @02:07AM (#33651351)
My experience with Nextcloud was underwhelming. Regular crashes, very slow sync if you have thousands of files, full reupload on any change and ignored files that do not get synced with no warnings. I had made five accounts for my family and each of them got a separate blocking bug. The worst part was the syncing of shared folders.

I ended up using Seafile, which is mostly open source and has beek rock solid for the past two years. I'm not looking back!

Re:Show HN: PRQL 0.2 – a better SQL on Tuesday June 28, 2022 @03:35AM (#31905155)
Most engines support NATURAL JOIN, which isn't perfect and has drawbacks, but allows for shorter joins.
