one could also use a radio's aerial to find the direction of the interference, so by walking around one could hone in as the magnitude of the interference increased, pretty useful as anyone could find the source no matter what their expertise.

No it doesn't, and if it did that would only mean that processes that form derivative works of GPLed programs were unlicensed, and therefore a violation of copyright.
Yeah, but think about how infrequently political satire is actually good and you'll see where some of us are coming from on this.

I can see how designing the command language can be simpler and cleaner in text than say XML. HTTP offers so much tooling, I might have gone with text over HTTP or JSON with a `command` entry.

As for HTTP2, isn't that handled by the HTTP server/client implementations and is from the application code the same as HTTP?
Because to a non-native speaker the 2 words can be confused as synonyms.

Hell I didn't even know there was a distinct difference between the 2 words until just now (and i've been speaking english my whole life), and I had just assumed that these kinds of discussions were talking about the "long term" data.

That's over the course of a year, which is not what I would consider a long-term measure. Over the course of the year, sure, you could easily have people who beat the market.
The text of the GPL (nor the FSF FAQ) does not explicitly support the "stops at process boundaries" interpretation, though a form of that's been a popular interpretation since at least the GPLv2 period.
Actually, CO2 extraction from the atmosphere may work. But zero emission doesn't. Let me quote from IPCC AR5 SPM E.8 (Climate Change Commitment):

"A large fraction of anthropogenic climate change resulting from CO2 emissions is irreversible on a multi-century to millennial time scale, except in the case of a large net removal of CO2 from the atmosphere over a sustained period. Surface temperatures will remain approximately constant at elevated levels for many centuries after a complete cessation of net anthropogenic CO2 emissions."

This is because most of additional energy (more than 90%) from CO2 forcing is stored in ocean. Oceanic thermal inertia is enough to keep warming in 1000 years scale without any additional CO2.
Ghost – a microkernel written in C++ and assembly
Well, Fred is missing that not only he has seen thousand of pitches, but the more mature the industry gets (media plus ecosystem), everybody has more data at hand and an opinion.

Ironically his partner Albert Wenger is writing about it - Zero Marginal Cost Society etc. In other words: Compared to 5 years ago, the VC business model is about to see similiar effects the consulting industry experienced - they simply don't have any advantage anymore plus they are competing with much more and bigger (i.e. corporate) players.

One other misconception: To be honest, I think the only people that are regarding his and other VC's writing, are people from the industry that are maybe one "hierarchy level" (or magnitude of fund size) smaller then them. Associates in accelerators etc. that are praising his genius or create the social media buzz but are actually just trying to hitch hike on his credibility. It's like pedding on each other's back because they regard each other as insiders, but actually they have lost base with hardcore tech innovation a long time ago (since moving into their ivory tower of we know so so much more then average Joe)

There's not always a 1:1 mapping of words between languages, so the nuance of "climate" vs. "weather" in English might get confusing.

For me, terraforming is the equivalent of developers saying "we need to rebuild from scratch".
I live in a latitude about the same as Spain, Southern Italy, Greece and Turkey, but in my part of the U.S., it's been above 30 degrees Centigrade for a few weeks, with high humidity. Our winters also get around 0 Centigrade (+- 8 or 9 degrees) pretty regularly, so we need to supply both heating and cooling.

Usually when it gets above 24/25 C we start to really put on the air conditioning. And below 20 C we put on the heat. A/C is generally important for not only cooling, but reducing humidity so your body's sweat actually does something useful.

I've lived in houses around here that didn't have A/C and it's pretty dreadful in the summer. You basically don't do anything during the day, and it's too hot to really sleep comfortably. Even fairly poor people usually end up with at least one room with A/C.

This isn't true for all of the U.S., the Pacific Northwest (e.g. Seattle) and Northern California tends to not have air conditioners because it doesn't usually get hot enough.

Quite a bit of the U.S. is at the same latitude as North Africa or the Middle East, the northern-most bits get maybe to Belgium? So even with the temperature gradients that ocean currents and global air movement affords, we get total sun that's more like areas of the world people associate with being "hot".

Having been to Europe numerous times, I notice most public areas, cars, buses, trains and offices seem to have A/C. So I'm sure you spend more time in it than you may realize.
Agree with all posted above. I also notice that unless it's connected to the MBP's USB 3 directly, for example if I plug it into the thunderbolt display instead, I get extreme mouse latency in the display.

It's a neat idea but I think I only kept it running for maybe a few weeks, then took it down again.

It's also worth noting that OS X is not optimized in any way for touch input, so using any of the controls is pretty rough.

While being pro-nuclear was all counter-conventional wisdom cool 5 years ago, the math is changing very, very quickly. PV power is so much cheaper in terms of startup costs, and it scales both up and (more importantly) down.
> Yes and no. You can change the carbon efficiency of people's consumption quite a bit with appropriate nudging and consumption taxes. You can also have global agreements paying countries not to exploit their "unburnable" fossil fuel resources.

No, you really can't, or we wouldn't have year-after-year record breaking temperatures. Regulation has never fixed anything. And especially when it comes to science, we need to remember that innovation and regulation are opposite ends of the same spectrum.

This claim has been thoroughly discredited. Even the climate change denier Andrew Watts agrees that it is false. And in any case, it makes no sense -- to believe this claim is to believe that all climate scientists are part of some conspiracy.

You don't seem to grasp what I am saying at all. I am not against upgrading our energy capabilities. This whole comment chain started because of the claim that only lizard people have incentive to lie. This couldn't be further from the truth. There are snake people who lie, scream and spread FUD who just want to take the lizards' place.

Their screaming leads to a lot of tension and escalation. THIS IS A PROBLEM. SOLVE IT RIGHT NOW. This is what FUD is after all. This leads to rash decisions. We don't know where and when to invest. Should we invest in more nuclear and supplement with distributed photovoltaics? Should we build giant panels? Should we focus on batteries and what kinds of batteries?

Or should we focus on hydro power instead? Or maybe beam energy from space (it's a thing)? What about clean chemical reactions?

And most importantly - when should we start and when should we double down on it? What are the checkpoints of R&D and production grade equipment? What should we wait on?

Opportunists did what they do best - they found an opportunity to get attention and are exploiting it for their gain. This goes against the general public's gain. That's what I am against. Repeating completely unproductive rhetoric to get the tension high.

Depends on the position. The pit crew are made up of car mechanics and more senior technical/critical roles.

You'll never find a role advertised for a 'wheel changer', instead you'll need to work your way into the company as a mechanic and then move onto the race team if you're suitable.

If you have the experience then take a look on their company site, for example McLaren have various roles open:

Isn't that extremely small area compared to submerged coastline and harbors and coastal cities?

Some industrial processes and some datacenter services require baseload power. "most" power demand doesn't truly require baseload. Conveniently they require approx no people. Go build the plants and the data centers and the aluminum refineries in the desert next to the a-bomb test sites and no one will notice or care.

As an example my cheap old refrigerator "needs" 24x7 power but with better insulation and higher thermal mass it could trivially run once a day, or even less, at peak solar production.

Another example is culturally we "need" to have retail and service businesses open during the lowest solar generation times of the day, but that cultural demand has no technological basis. There are cultural and economic reasons walmart can't replace all its gigawatts of light bulbs with skylights but no technological reasons.

Another cultural example is there's no reason we "have to" have millions of people living in deserts, and no matter how much environmental damage it causes we're not going to depopulate the West USA down to a sustainable level for purely political and cultural reasons. Ditto the far south. We as a culture have decided no level of environmental damage is too large to stop providing water and air conditioning for millions to live in historically unlivable climates, even if there's plenty of land in livable climates. In that way, ionizing radiation doesn't matter any more than the destruction of the Colorado River matters, for example.
I think this is incredibly cool. 75% of this planet is difficult/impossible to live on; why not use it for a clean form of energy?

I'll admit that I didn't think windmills would ever catch on, but I'm very happy to be wrong here.
According to (former) Vietnamese that visit Vietnam and have family there, South Vietnam still retains many of its pre-war capitalist culture and roots compared with the Communist North (and also compared with China).

There is also a large now successful Vietnamese Diaspora in the US and perhaps other countries that are familiar with Vietnam and might want to do business there.
No No No! Don't apologize, its a great question! And to be fair I'm absolutely against "cargo cult" programming, and my point was actually that when you are doing C++ in this type of environment, you can't always stick to a hard set of rules or the conventional wisdom. When I say guidelines, I mean just that, and not a rigorous law you MUST adhere to.

As an example: When I was working on a project for a very constrained embedded device, we needed to get some extra man-power on our team for a few sprints to help out with some functionality. One of the pieces of our system was a "debug console" I had written that allowed some interactivity with the system over a serial port. The new guy was a very sharp engineer, but he typically worked on higher level stuff than we were doing. He wanted to add some functionality to the debug console, and dutifully started writing stuff in using the C++ string handling libraries. And consequently he blew our stack budget, and we ended up very quickly rewriting part of it together.

Now, the point is he wasn't doing anything using some crazy STL functionality or Boost, and he was doing the "right" thing by handling strings using the Standard Library functionality. What we had to do for our system was actually bend the conventional knowledge ("Don't write a string handling library yourself"), because we knew exactly what we needed, and exactly what resources we had.

So perhaps I could have phrased my point better. When I say "have a disciplined team and sane coding guidelines", I don't mean a team that codes by the book, I mean a team that knows what it is doing, and knows when the rules are meant to be bent. In our case sane coding guidelines meant we did things that were against the conventional wisdom, but they were sane, because they were justified in our case based on our engineering analysis. We were certainly open to breaking / changing these guidelines but it had to be justified. (And in fact our 'guidelines' were less a set of rules about how you needed to do every last detail, and more of a set of project specific "design patterns" and a large set of lessons learned in a shared wiki page which described issues we had run in to, and justified certain design decisions that were made)

(Edit: Other examples included disabling RTTI, and completely disabling and disallowing the usage of C++ exceptions to write our own error handling. Against the common advice to use what the language gives you, but made sense for our application)

Again, no need to apologize! I could have made my point clearer, and I hope I did, but please feel free to follow up with me! I'm always looking for ways to improve :-)

Move to renewable energies as fast as possible. Wind and solar is now cost-competetive, especially if you look at solar in the south of the US. If anyone operates an AC unit at home, why is it not powered by solar? Especially as you really need it when the sun shines.
Tesla have shown: electrical cars are a thing. The quicker the automotive sector moves to electrical, the better.

We can't solve the problem over night, but thats the reason we should start now. There is a lot we can do. Last year, Germany produced 30% of its energy with renewables, up from 25% the previous year. As I write this, German solar produces 22 GW of solar electricity alone.

We've known the basic climate math since the 1960s. The first political attempts to reach global agreements on emissions controls were in the early 1970s.

45 years on, we've yet to achieve an actual reductions agreement, let alone enact it.

I'm not particularly sanguine.

There are many books and authors on this topic. For the energy angle, I strongly recommend Vaclav Smil. For the political dynamics, William Ophuls is among the best I've read. His 1977 Ecology and the Politics of Scarcity is a brief, but commanding overview of the problems and dynamics. It's long ago enough that many of its predictions are testable. While pessimistic on population and food, much the rest has held up, and Ophuls' predictions specifically on China and the former Soviet Union are uncannily accurate.

He's written more since, with what he says is his final book being published in 2012.

We use a similar setup for some of our services at edX. It is worth noting that you may need to adjust your development behaviors/environment somewhat to accommodate Docker.

For example, PyCharm supports using Docker Machine but not the new Docker for Mac. This means you won't necessarily have access to PyCharm's code inspection and remote debugging if you solely use Docker. This has resulted in my having a virtualenv on my host machine as well as the Docker setup, which is not ideal.

Once the tooling is better, things will be great; however, we aren't quite there yet.

It's not just the practical problem of getting rich people in the west to lower their consumption, it's the deeply moral problem of denying the lifestyle we've enjoyed for the past ~century to the couple of billion people currently joining the middle class.

So yes, technology is the only solution. Incremental improvements in efficiency should not be shunned, but they're not going to be 'solutions'.

I'm not even sure we will need to go to very dramatic steps to get there. Solar competitive with coal at market-prices seems to be right around the corner, that'll be a massive water-shed moment. I have high hopes for algae fuel (perhaps naive), because this can plug directly in to the existing downstream oil infrastructure (and burning hydrocarbons is going to be part of life for the foreseeable future).

I'd say I'd check out what Eli &co did, but I probably won't. TBH, Racket leaves a bad taste in my mouth: the core is too complex for such little benefit. If some of it were in libraries, I wouldn't mind so much, but most of it's there by default. And I share Alex Shinn's opinions on syntax-case.
That was not one of his suggestions, unless you count stackless python. It was an example (i.e. twisted in python) in support of his point that callback's are a bad way to structure concurrent programming. His suggestions were Erlang and Go which are arguably better approaches in a purely technical dimension to NodeJS.

What his rant misses is that most technical decisions aren't made on purely technical merit for a host of different reasons.
