Burning wood is also CO2 neutral as the forest has captured this CO2 in the last few decades compared to fossil fuel that is accumulated over many millions of years.

In Norway you actually get a higher (greener) energy rating for your house if you have a wood stove, and our electrical power almost entirely hydroelectric.

The article doesn't say, but the wood pollution is relatively minor compared to diesel etc.
This Greenpeace article[1] doesn't even mention wood.

The poorest inhabitants in London don't live in the kind of home where they can install a wood stove. They rent and likely have central heating.
Why do you think an high level language would be a positive thing? The ones that are currently available generate worse designs than hand written Verilog.

Verilog is still used for a very good reason, it is not because the EDA industry is stuck in time.
Wood burning stoves should be banned outright in the capital.

It's mostly hipsters and posh people using them anyway, they will survive.

There's a guy who downloads every page with curl. I see him on web logs. I think he must have some script that parses the amp pages out and does something with it, but because he's the only person in that geographic region who browses the web with curl, he's very easy to spot from a tracking perspective. On the other hand, because he's using curl, I don't think anyone wants to bother trying to show him an ad.

Yeah, that's a pretty reasonable concern. Environment variables can be problematic because they are usually inherited when spawning processes, and many build systems rely on this for things like passing through compiler flags.

I think that just having the CLICOLOR option would be reasonable, for enabling or disabling color to a TTY, but CLICOLOR_FORCE is more problematic.
I wish Germany was like that. I work as a IT consultant in a financial institution and we all have to wear suits here, even though most of the people have never seen a client in their life - they just sit behind their desks and do their daily work on a PC. So they do so - in a suit. I really don't know why Germans do this to themselves.
I can’t speak to his rationale, but all of these are relatively affordable vehicles that take advantage of a lot of the newer technologies that tie into the CAN bus. Additionally, they expose interfaces to many of the onboard computers connected via CAN through the DLC connector, and off-the-shelf hardware exists for Toyota and Honda vehicles to expose the rest of the bus through the DLC connector, which is not particularly useful for typical scan tools, but it does allow for comma.io’s panda dongle to dump pretty much all of the information being passed around on the CAN bus.
Poor people in London don't burn wood, they use prepay meters which cost a fortune to top up. This is because:

a) Wood burners are expensive and trendy

b) It takes time and energy to get and/or chop up wood (you really need a car to pick it up at least)

c) You need a good credit rating to get access to cheaper gas/elec tariffs, so prepay meters is usually the only thing a poor person can qualify for

Banning wood burning stoves would be a great move overall. If wood-burning is really that much more efficient (it isn't) then let's centralize it and burn wood in the power plants instead of coal.

I really wanted a wood burner (it's fun to burn wood, creates a tremendous amount of heat and looks awesome), but now I know the environmental costs I won't get one - it's completely irresponsible to use one in a city.

> I miss the vertical pixels

This HD craze (especially for notebook displays) was one of the worst mistakes in recent computer history!

If I use a computer for reading and writing then I need a lot of vertical space and pixels! I don't care about the width at all!

I own a bunch of old IBM/Lenovo notebooks and I am convinced that a 14" display with a 4:3 aspect ratio (for example 1400 x 1050) is still the best type of display for a portable developers notebook.

Newer Microsoft Surface devices go for a 3:2 aspect ratio but if I would design such a device I would make the screen even more square.

I don't think they are contradicting statements. My impression is that Sweden is more casual, but also more calculated, while continental Europeans are more formal but just throw on a suit and are done with it.
>> Perhaps you should find a new place to work.

Oh, that's a few years now. I definitely did find a new place and the culture in that next place was fantastic :)

It's just that not all teams I worked with encouraged, or even recognised, time-saving automation. Some did, some didn't- it was a mixed bag. Maybe I'm wrong to say that "most" didn't. If I think about it, out of five teams in six years, two clearly didn't care, two definitely cared a lot, one I don't know.

I think the difference in culture had something to do with the way hierarchy worked in different companies. It just happened that in every one of those jobs I was the most junior member of the team (in the last one because despite having some experience, I worked with mainframe engineers with 30+ years on me :). But, some places appreciated the fact that I did my best to keep up and pull my weight, while others- it just didn't make any difference. I was the least experienced so I was expected to trudge through endless tedious until I had tenure (by which time I was expected to delegate all the tedious to contractors or juniors, I bet).

The effect was that in the teams that encouraged putting in the extra bit, everyone did. In the other teams, not so much.
In a business environment.

Compare https://duckduckgo.com/?q=sweden+business+office&t=ffsb&iax=... with https://duckduckgo.com/?q=germany+business+office&t=ffsb&iar... .

The people in the Germany pictures are more likely to be wearing a dress shirt. The people who wear a business jacket in the Sweden pictures are less likely to be wearing a tie.

My experience is also that people (or at least managers) in the UK also tend to wear suits, with ties, more than in Sweden.
> They see the mistakes of millennials and older with social media and want nothing to do with it (and are thus nowhere to be found on Facebook, yet still on Instagram because it hasn't suffered the same problems yet).

I have a hard time believing that people under 18 are making a conscious decision on this, especially the 'see the mistakes of milennials' part. They're only concerned with themselves an their status in their group, just like millenials were, but on a different platform.

My early teen sister, for example, uses Instagram and Snapchat for two reasons: all het friends use it, my mom doesn't want her to use Facebook because it has a bad rep. The fact that Instagram is owned by Facebook is something that most people, outside of the well informed, are unaware of.
If they invest predominantly in very short-term fixed income than equities (which would be my guess) then they may actually perform even better as interest rates rise and the market cools.

You can be sure the specs for something like the F35 run into the hundreds of thousands of pages. Tagging exactly 89% of the features as making that milestone is probably the easiest part of the work.
You are quite correct.

There are some mitigating circumstances though. The biggie is that all of this food is, in theory, carbon neutral; plants require CO2 to grow. While obviously this does not apply to the tractors, trucks, cargo ships etc in the rest of the preparation chain, that goes for fossil fuels as well - and chances are the fossil fuels have had to come farther and undergo even more processing. Nor are the emissions of the supply chain intrinsic to the fuel: we could theoretically replace all those tractors with electric ones powered by solar etc...

The other factor is that we can exert a great deal of personal agency over the emissions content of the food we eat. Cows, which you mention, are particularly bad because, although carbon-neutral, they effectively turn CO2 into methane which is a far more potent greenhouse gas. But we don't have to eat cows. Or food from the other side of the world. You can even grow your own food if you really want. So human-powering things reclaims personal responsibility.

It's not the same in the important way: research shows we enjoy experiences more than owning extra things. No one's saying "I'll go on holiday to Spain because that's unique, whereas a $500 handbag isn't" - they're saying "I'll go to Spain because I'll enjoy it more."

I never had that kind of job. Estimates based on people I know. Most suit people I know like to have 4-5 at any given time. They also like to have the crisp look of new clothes, more noticeable in formal clothes than hoodies and t shirts. Also suit fashions tend to be fairly specific. My old suit (11 year old 3 button pinstripe that everyone had then) that I haven't worn for years looks ridiculous now, being 2-3 generations old.

I'm sure this could be optimized with better quality, better laundry, etc. Everything about clothes could be a fraction of the average costs, if we go based on first principles "what's possible." But generally, people who wear suits to work spend over €1k pa, in my circle.

The SR-71 leaked fuel before takeoff because it needed separation distance between parts to allow for expansion. It had nothing to do with the difficulty machining titanium.

From your source:
"Fuselage panels were manufactured to fit only loosely on the ground. Proper alignment was achieved as the airframe heated up and expanded several inches.[30] Because of this, and the lack of a fuel-sealing system that could handle the airframe's expansion at extreme temperatures, the aircraft leaked JP-7 fuel on the ground prior to takeoff."

I can work full hours and more precisely because flexible hours help a lot to deal with kids needed something. If I had fixed shifts, either I or husband would have to have less hours or someone would have to help us occasionally.

Same with sick kids. When you can work from home or remote (my company does not allow much of it, husbands does a lot of it and people use it) then you do not need free time because kids are sick. You work from home or in evening.

There is no trade off between pay, perks and flexible time. People who get high salaries get perks too. Same with flexible time.

If flexibility was motivation when choosing jobs, women and men would choose completely different jobs to begin with.
The rejection is not about the ability to disable colours but about adopting a "standard" that someone made up by themselves.

Extensions aren't a total solution, though, which people often sell them as. You have an impedance mismatch between Python and C code, because Python has all of its objects packed in a way that is very strange to C, so you end up essentially deserializing all objects into C, then back out into Python, in a very expensive and allocation-heavy (on both sides) conversion.

If you can set up your computation in Python and run it in C, as with a lot of NumPy code, you can have your entire program basically run at C speeds. But if you have a complicated algorithm in Python, perhaps implementing business logic, you can very easily see a slowdown if you try to move bits of that logic into C piecemeal, as you end up paying more in cross-language serialization and overhead than you can win back.

In addition, writing extensions can be hard. First you've got a maze of choices nowadays, and while many of them are quite good at what they do, it can be difficult to figure out whether you're going to do something they aren't good at and have to switch options later, and it's really hard to figure out how to even analyze what they are and are not good at when you're not already familiar with the space. Then, if you do end up having to delve into the raw C, it's very tedious code, very tricky code to deal with the PyObjs, and code that can segfault the interpreter instantly if you don't get it right, which is not what you want to read about your multi-hour processing code. And for a greenfield or very young product, this maze of options is competing against other ecosystems where you can simply implement your code and get it to run 20-50x faster while writing code that is easier to write than a Python extension.

They are a solution to some problems. I don't deny this. NumPy is an existence proof of that statement. But I'd write this post because I'd say "if it's slow, just write the slow bit in C!" has been oversold in the dynamic language community now for at least the 15 years I've been paying attention, and it still seems to be going strong.

In 2003, it may still have been a good choice; in 2018, my recommendation to anybody writing the sort of code where this matters is to pick up one of the several languages that are simply faster to start with, and are much more convenient (even when statically typed) to work with than the competition was in 2003. And I also want to say that Python is still good for many things; I still whip it out every couple of months for something; it's still on my very short list of best languages. But the ground on which it is the best choice is definitely getting squeezed by a lot of very good competition and the changing nature of computer hardware, and a wise engineer pays attention to that and adjusts as needed.
One solution to having no tech skills is to obtain them. The webapp is important, it probably isn't urgent. To the degree it is urgent, starting now is better than hoping for an unlikely event.

The tools needed to build a web app are HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Building something yourself that shows your idea also shows other people that you are serious enough about the project to invest in the hard critical work and do whatever it takes.

Good luck.

> In Norway you actually get a higher (greener) energy rating for your house if you have a wood stove, and our electrical power almost entirely hydroelectric.

You can possibly get a higher rating when you replace an old stove or an oil stove (parafinbrenner/oljekamin) with "clean-burning" stove, or do I miss something? Otherwise the rating depends on how tight the house is insulated, does it have balanced ventilation and so on.

And CO2-neutral sounds a bit hand-wavy tbh. Sure forest captured it only recently, but there's no advantage releasing it back to atmosphere.

How it's done usually: Any apartment or house has a meter. You have to pay by KWh from time to time. If it doesn't get paid, it's eventually owner's problem.

Bonus points for multi-range electricity meters and central heating. Extra points for central heating with heating meters (OK just kidding about this one).

Not even extensions are required -- you could have C libraries that you hook into rather easily. You don't have to learn to navigate the PyObj or the Python extension docs, just know how to write & expose C functions as a shared library.
