Not when the wood is coming from non-renewable sources. I've read much is sourced from the US, and is not from quickly-growing softwood but long established slow-growing hardwood which burns better in power plants. When the end goal is to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere, destroying carbon sinks and burning them is one of the most counterproductive activities you could engage in.

There's a reason we stopped burning wood as our primary fuel source several hundred years ago. There's not enough to burn, and it doesn't renew fast enough to satisfy demand. Coal met that demand. Returning to wood makes zero sense, unless you want to satisfy a short-term legal/policy goalpost at the expense of missing the bigger picture.

Personally, I think that while reducing coal is a laudable medium-term goal, this is not better for the climate. Whether you burn wood or coal, both are producing CO2, but when you burn wood your are also reducing the size of an important carbon sink.
I personally agree with your inclination to teach them using a clean functional language.

I'm sure it would be possible to produce a few excellent software developers doing the bottom up approach as well, starting with a course on hardware, then assembly and then going up the stack from there. I would have loved that approach personally, but it would probably turn the average CS student into an awful programmer.
This makes me wish I had gone to grad school.

These are pretty random but all are probably different than what people normally associate with electronica. I don't like most of the popular electronica out there.

To a developer not familiar with Emacs, I'd first recommend to start with Spacemacs so they don't have to configure anything nor learn Emacs shortcuts... then Magit (shipped as git layer in spa Emacs)... and then org-mode. I had a few developer friends of mine starting to use Emacs (Spacemacs) solely because of how good Magit is.
In the case of helicopters, they most certainly do.

I'm one of those. We moved from London two years ago, bought a house with two acres of land and it has a fireplace. Our nearest neighbour is 1/2 a mile away so we can burn non-recyclable rubbish outside in a fire pit. There were a lot of old rotting wood on the property (old palettes mainly) so burning it is a good way to get rid of rubbish. You can't just burn domestic rubbish without something like wood to help it burn.

In London and other UK cities there are large areas that are smoke control zones and if you burn anything outside, it can get you into trouble. See https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules

We have a fireplace and chimney in the main house (theres an annexe as well), and we buy the more expensive 'smokeless' coal which is better quality, burns hotter and yet lasts longer than the cheaper coal. Prices are typically £6 for 20KG of cheap coal or £8 for the same quantity of smokeless.

The chimney has to be swept once a year. That costs about £45. It prevents soot from accumulating and possibly catching fire. We also need a carbon monoxide detector because fires can give off co.

We have a lot of trees on our land and have a large stock of branches drying in an outside shed for winter but that wood is light, good for getting a fire going but doesn't give off a lot of heat. We light the inside fire typically from late October to late February. Local shops and supermarkets sell kiln dried hardwood which is the main source of warmth. Coal keeps the fire burning longer but the wood gives off far more heat.

Perhaps Uber's CEO should resign so the company can get some breathing room and reboot their brand.

Maybe, unless Kalanick leaving were to be seen as the captain abandoning his sinking ship. At this point it's not really clear if Uber's reputation can actually be rescued. It's pretty bad. That said, plenty of companies make a huge amount of money despite everyone thinking they're terrible. There's no reason why Uber can't become the 'budget airline' or 'discount retailer' of ride hailing apps.
I'm also in the UK (Newcastle) and the story is the same here.
> Also, how can people be that stupid? You have to know the truth will eventually come out?

In an equities market defined by quarterly profit statements, "eventually" is far enough away to be irrelevant. The reason this sort of thing happens again and again is because it works -- as the company disintegrates in a blizzard of accusations, the principals safely descend on golden parachutes.

> The theory in this case is "Isolations affects alcohol tolerance in crayfish".

That is not a theory, it's a statement about an observation -- it describes, it doesn't explain. Theories explain observations.

> A theory does not need to contain an explanation to be a valid scientific theory.

A scientific theory is an explanation[1]. That's how it's defined. A description cannot be a theory because it doesn't say why the result took place, only that it did.

If I say, “The night sky is filled with tiny points of light,” I've offered a description. Another observer might contradict my description, for example by emerging from his cave on an overcast night and not seeing any points of light, but that contradicting observation can itself be contradicted on the next clear night, without any chance for resolution (so a contradiction is not a falsification). Apart from being shallow, inconclusive and trivial, this process is not science.

If instead I say, “Those points of light are distant thermonuclear furnaces like our sun,” I've offered an explanation, one that makes predictions about phenomena not yet observed and that's falsifiable by empirical test. On the basis of this explanation we might build a small-scale star (a fusion reactor) to see if our experiment shows any similarity to the spectra and behavior of stars. This deep explanation represents a theoretical claim that's linked to other areas of human knowledge, predicts phenomena not yet observed and is conclusively falsifiable by comparison with reality (our fusion reactor might fail to imitate the stars). It's science.

1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory

Quote: "A scientific theory is an explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can, in accordance with the scientific method, be repeatedly tested, using a predefined protocol of observations and experiments. Established scientific theories have withstood rigorous scrutiny and are a comprehensive form of scientific knowledge." (emphasis added)
I'm curious to take a look at the questions in that test.
Would be interesting to see how well they are aligned with the reality of software development.
Anybody got some of those questions?
To be clear, that was a serious criticism. Pretending that there was no particular reason for choosing python is a classic case of being unwilling to credit others (python authors) for their hard work, and is thus arrogant, ungrateful and dismissive. Claiming that "back in my day programmers had to think hard" is a classic case of being tedious and curmudgeonly.
Also based on a pattern of behavior. These issues are systemic and have been going on for years. This is the same company that ignores sexual harassment claims, illegally tracks and blackmails journalists, deploys highly questionable anti-competitive tactics at will.
If only legal taxi services weren't so uniformly terrible. I don't like Uber's culture, but I still use it whenever Lyft isn't available and the only other option is a taxi whose credit card reader is "broken".
I had a maxed out Amiga 500 (with sidecar expansion) back in the day and it was awesome (for games and 2D graphics) in 1988, amazing in 1990, and then Commodore ate it owing to monumental incompetence.

Even at the height of its technical superiority, it was crippled for serious work. Its pixels weren't square in any graphics mode, and in the highest resolution mode you needed to endure flicker unless you had a special monitor.

I remember when our 512k mac's power supply died and we tried to use our (maxed out) Amiga for word processing we discovered the top-rated word processors became unresponsive with documents over 4-5 pages (WriteNow on the Mac was cheerfully handling hundred page documents with graphics). And its print quality was atrocious even setting aside the whole non square pixel problem.

As a nostalgic Amiga user I agree on principle, sadly this platform has little to do with original Amigas; I applaude their effort but wouldn't spend even 100 euros to buy one.
The Amiga success was a result of genius, money and time constraints, being in the right place at the right moment and a huge users niche still untouched by IBM/Apple/Atari; it's impossible to repeat, period. However I we wondered what if the surviving original developers banded together again and designed something new to be produced by some Chinese fab in Shenzhen, like small companies like Friendly Elec or the guys behind the Orange Pi can do today like twice a month. That could be an interesting move to give new life to a concept.
I'm guessing KimonoLabs.

I'm not clear which way this was going language wise?

Like it or not English seems like it will become the world language so perhaps it's not all bad to make people watch things in English.
That's more or less what I wanted to say (as a former Amiga owner and enthusiast, back in the '90s). These nostalgic operations that keep popping up every few months or years are basically denying the spirit of the original Amiga, which was that of a machine ahead of its time. A completely new machine instead, entirely different and totally incompatible with the old Amiga, based on some radically different architecture from the current desktop computers, would be truer to its original spirit.
I just can't swallow that it looks like a generic tower PC. What if they actually went with the A1200/A500 form factor?

It depends on who the onlooker is, though. I'm always fascinated with flying car stories because I understand them: I can look at the Ilium story and know immediately things about it, for instance that it will not glide with weight distribution and wings as shown.

But if I looked at Theranos, I wouldn't have any idea what I'm looking at. We all have our own brain structures that set up our respective abilities to call BS: part of this is understanding the psychology, as you (jacquesm) do. This gives the background to not take claims at face value.

The other part of BS-calling is that structure of experience telling us things like 'center of mass for the object will be here' or 'adding 20 more people to this dev team will have this effect on their ability to coordinate development'. These are heuristics that might be more difficult to explain than to be directed by, but in practice they'll tend to function like iron laws: if an exception is ever found it's a huge deal. The trick is getting people to accept the iron law without the structure of experience to support it.
I hope so :)

Also DConf is just around the corner (tickets close tomorrow?) so expect more.
If you ever get the opportunity to visit a power station, you should definitely do so. I visited the coal-fired station in Tilbury when it was running and I was amazed at the sheer scale of the operation. The tour showed how the coal was processed, the water processing plant, the turbine hall, the control room and you could even stand at the bottom of an offline furnace and feel the incredible heat from the other furnace (connected by a tunnel).
Google Cloud Storage is working quite beautifully for me. S3 would be similar I believe.

"Hey Alexa, compute my weekly food/things purchase with optimized cost alternatives"...

In my opinion, Amazon will be huge, and it is just starting. What worries me the most is that they will have no competition.

Amazon is "killing" many small (and big) businesses because their customer service is excellent. Times when the shop make you felt like a criminal when returning defective stuff are gone, for good. And now, those small (or big) business are improving customer service. So the customer win.
>You're completely underestimating the scale necessary to carry out proper testing and validation.

I think you're completely overestimating the scale. In any case, neither of us really know what's going on.

One thing we know is that Microsoft has the means to test these things if they wanted to.

Windows 10 has been out for a while, other processor generations came out; they didn't do this trick until now.

This only came up because Microsoft is seeing that their product is extremely unpopular with their customers.

From a profit perspective, they're doing the logical and obvious thing: to force users to upgrade because they need their license fees.

In which case the danger becomes this: is that behavior sufficiently optimized that it's impractical to do anything else? There comes a point where the system compels everybody in it to pursue this strategy, or automatically be forced out.

You should still wait for hard evidence before accepting Google's claims. Otherwise you will end up accepting false claims simply because they match what you believe about Uber.

Making false claims in the media that have been designed to resonate with and reinforce the current zeitgeist is a pretty easy trick to pull and a lot of people fall for it.

That's exactly why I set a hard, verifiable time limit on my exercises. A few hours is vastly too long. I limit mine to 20-40 minutes.
Remember that the collapse of British coal mining happened long before global warming was a popular issue; it was purely an economic issue.

And in some places simply resource exhaustion, the inevitable end of any extraction industry. There's a "miner's club" at the end of my street but it's been decades since any mining went on here; a bit further away is http://nationalminingmuseum.com/

(Scotland and the north of England is in many ways a post-resource industry country. Lots of early iron and coal extraction here -> steel production -> shipbuilding/armaments/consumer durables/buildings -> Empire. Now almost all of that production chain is gone, and Glasgow has a space satellite industry instead)
