> It doesn't matter what you use, you can nest your CSS by hand or with Sass. Either way, you now have CSS tightly coupled to your HTML structure and it can be hell to change. I'm literally dealing with this right now (we use sass).

The subsidy per KWh from Hinkley Point C is roughly equal to to the current market rate for electricity because of the guaranteed price needed to build the plant, so the electricity effectively costs twice as much.

> But today, it seems that time, length, and mass are all quantized. There's thus not a physical basis for the existence of reals.

This is actually not the case. Space and time are not regarded as quantized by the majority of physicists and there's also absolutely no evidence suggesting that. To the contrary, such quantization would lead to inconsistencies – e.g. with relativity – pretty quickly.

If I have to go to the office: maybe 2 hours a day of actual productive work.

If I work from home: usually 4-6 hours of productive work.

Going to the office adds up to a ten-hour day, with the commute. Working from home is usually a 6-7 hour day, and I get to stay in my pajamas, take the dog for a walk, take a break to do some housework, and be in a comfortable environment.

I don't work from home enough anymore.

I think you're looking at the world's history with rose-colored glasses. World poverty is at the lowest levels today than it has been in recorded history: https://ourworldindata.org/slides/world-poverty/#/declining-...

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a time in history when life was better than it is today. And if you did find one, it would be so long ago than population levels were a fragment of what they are now.

We can't go back. Get that idea out of your head. The question is how can we steer the ship.
Given any finitely described real numbers, there will be a finitely described mapping map it to a unique natural number. But if you use real numbers that can never finish describing, we have to use a mapping that cannot be finished in describing. That is not the same as "there is no such mapping that doesn't miss any of the reals". If all mappings that cannot be finitely described are excluded, what will be the reason? And why that reason cannot be applied to exclude some real numbers (that cannot be finitely described) as numbers? I understand that is what it is, but being what it is seems meaningless.

The general halting problem is uncomputable. It can only be simulated. However, any program is still assumed to be finitely described. Any discussion in finite domain (including arbitrarily big finite) cannot lead to conclusions or insight toward infinite.

> I don't know if you are using the word "countable" in the standard way, so I don't know what you mean by that last sentence.

In the context of infinity, words such as countable, bigger, order, etc. all lose its standard meaning. We don't really know what it means if we don't really know what infinity is. Mathematicians simply made a definition to countable here -- a finitely described mapping -- that is fine on its own, but completely useless. Since we can't draw any parallels from infinity to finite (including arbitrarily big), we can't really relate any definitions over the infinity to "standard" meaning of those words to the domain of finite.

> Limiting the global mean temperature rise to below 2°C with a probability of 66% would require an energy transition of exceptional scope, depth and speed.

It seems that sovereigns don't quite think like individuals: If this was a personal decision, I'd just put my hopes in boarding a plain that has a 66% chance of making it to its destination (or at least that's what the pilot, in an effort to look respectable, is telling me). But since I got the ticket on sale, I've convinced myself that it's "rational" to take the gamble. There's other tickets on sale, but they'd cost 30 - 50% of my total net worth. Clearly, I think to myself, it's better to die in a plain crash than to live in a smaller house.
AI Drives the Rise of Accelerated Computing in Data Centers
The speedup is interesting.

I specially like to read other example where killing an `if` increase the performance easily. `if`s are bad!

The SIMD operations get much more speed, but here we can start a discussion about portability and maintainability. It's a trick to use only in a very special case.

Anyway, removing the consecutive duplicates of a vector is an O(N) operation, but sorting the vector is an O(N log(N)) operation. So in any real example the sorting part will be slower than the removing part. To make the whole operation quicker it's better to improve the sorting part.

It's a nice article, but hiding the slowest part of the operation under the rug is a bit misleading.
Of course.

Getting a dog is a great idea (especially from a shelter), but I just want to set realistic cost expectations here.

My fiance volunteers for PAWS and it is typically a minimum of $350 in fees to leave with a dog. Also, dog food can add up (the dog we recently adopted needs grain-free food due to an allergy) so it's about $750 a year for a 28 lb dog (I would say minimum of $300 for cheaper food). Then you should take your pet in once a year to the vet and get heartworm, flea & tick medicine, etc (another min. $350 a year). And you'll probably want to get your dog a doggy bed, collar, leash, treats, etc. Obviously anyone can cut out or short cut some of these expenses, but this should be the minimum spend expectation in my fiance's opinion.
For anyone who responds like the top response to this comment: What he means is that if people were seeking enlightenment and were aware of the dogmatism inherent in religion and equally in rationality and science, they would be practicing extreme lifestyle minimalism, and would not respond to the economic/emotional/sexual incentives to support the systems that destroy the planet, the money would simply evaporate. Now how do you convert 100% of the global population to this? It's likely impossible in the required timeframe :(

Mine weight scale has resolution of 0.1 and accuracy of about 0.2-0.3. It doesn't matter that much because if your input is noisy your output will be noisy but if you use it intelligently you don't have to eat -0.2kg ;). I've seen that typically I need to eat about 0.7-1.5kg daily and if some day I get result lower than 0.2kg I just eat 0.2kg, no less. It may mean that I eat very little for about two days and then it's back to normal amount. Your mileage may vary, but if you use this diet you WILL lose weight. After going to target weight my calculator maintains constant weight reference so that I can control my weight and don't have yoyo effect.

Measuring food - I just weigh myself after morning piss and calculate amount of food to eat that day. 1/4 for breakfast, 1/4 for lunch and leave 1/2 for dinner, but before dinner I make last measurement and eat accordingly. Before that diet I've only eaten 2 toasts for breakfast, but now I'm feeling fuller through day. For food weighing I have small pocket scale which can measure up to 0.5kg (res 0.1g) but I could use a scale which has a resolution of 0.01kg. I don't measure drinks, this is a small source of noise but not really important. After several days of measuring various foods you have pretty good mental scale. I don't eat lunch with friends/coworkers, so premaking measured food portions was best case for me.

You will only eventually hit any given integer after finite steps. It does not prove you will hit every positive integer. You'll miss those that one never can finish giving you -- for example, I'll start with digit 1, and I'll infinitely adding 1 behind it (never finishing). It is an infinite natural number that you can't hit within any finite number of steps.

Is the !g bang gives you personalized results as good as google results ?

Also, it's a bad design decision to make bangs belong to search engines. In the past the firefox extension lookpick[1] solved that problem very well: They crowdsourced search engnines, had their own search box in the right corner of the screen, and to make it easy to pick the right search engines, search engines used searchable tags.

On top of that, if you add easy help for search operators for each site(also crowd sourced), would be really useful.

I wish there was something like that for chrome.

If there are about 50 possible actions to take on the page, and one of them is literally the last action, even after the 'save your settings' button, then that action is about as non-obvious as it can get while still being present in legible text. Flip it around - if you wanted an action to be obvious, would you put it there?

As a comparison, look at meetup.com, a similar endeavour in a lot of ways: their email notification screen[0] has a 'turn off' button before any of the individual checkboxes, which turns them all off (except password resets and the like).

What needs to happen is a built in setting in the most popular browsers that would always give the referrer to the server be the main domain itself.

I know there are addons for this, but this needs to come standard.
I've seen the opposite as well: ugly looking terminal or DOS based but very productive software was replaced with spiffy looking windows or web based software that was slightly slower or unable to keep up with the type-ahead of the users and this led to huge disappointment.

I'm firmly believe if it doesn't work it doesn't matter how good it looks and if it works but looks bad that's better than the reverse.

Then once you've figured out what to build you can always make it look pretty.

I don't know what world you live in, but Apache only runs prefork if you configure it to run in prefork. Saying that is "how it works most of the time" is complete and total nonsense. I don't even know how to parse that...

Also complete and total nonsense is the lack of health checks (which is, iirc, only available for paid nginx), TLS support and load balancing algos. I think nginx has some kind of hash LB method that httpd doesn't, although httpd has round-robin, byrequests, bytraffic, and bybusyness.

I suppose that it's a good idea to take precautions against accidentally running multiple AC devices in the same room that might be connected to very different branches of the AC distribution network.

That metric only applies under the assumption that all land can be used equally to feed livestock or for crops. However, humans don't eat grass, and some land cannot be used to grow vegetables on. There, grazing livestock is one of the few methods available to generate food for humans.

Grazing is also better for biodiversity than planting crops.

The basis you pick your web server on shouldn't be whether it's "new" or "old". It is what your software runs on, what support contracts you have, and what functionality you need.

To be fair, many "low level" technical decisions also cost orders of magnitude more than was originally intended.

Not coincidentally, there is rarely strong strategic technical direction at the organization level. Rarely is there accountability (especially for middle management) in making sure that cobol is actually deprecated, those Windows XP boxes are actually powered down, and that gnarly business logic is cleaned up and well-tested.

It's worth noting that typically there's collusion from all levels to create one of those problems. That being said, there's not much an individual contributor can do about massive strategic mistakes other than move to another org. A magical org with great engineers and no major technical debt.
And then they hire these people, starting with the lowest numbers.

> you didn't really prove every item gets counted in finite time

The proof that the adversary cannot name such an item is logically the same as a proof that every item gets counted. This is a fundamental logical truth, namely de Morgan's law for universal/existential quantifiers: (not exists x such that P(x)) is the same as (forall x, not P(x))

'A counting scheme' is an intuitive way of providing a 'one-to-one correspondence to the natural numbers,' which is used in the technical definition of countability.

The moment you start attacking problems from a purely mathematical standpoint, where the language implementation is a foregone conclusion.

For instance, consider writing an algorithm which ranks poker hands. If you find yourself bogged down in conditional logic, iterating through cards, you're a junior developer.

The moment you realize a histogram solves most of this problem and substantially flattens the effort, you've grown substantially.
