Gitea isn't meant to replace Github... it's meant to be a self-hosted alternative to it. That's subtly different.

I use it for as my local git server on Debian 9. Binary is in the /home/me/gitea directory. Run the usual gitea setup, then copy this to /home/me/.config/systemd/user/gitea.service:

[Unit]
Description=Gitea (Git with a cup of tea)
After=syslog.target
After=network.target

[Service]
RestartSec=2s
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=/home/me/gitea
ExecStart=/home/me/gitea/gitea web
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Then just systemctl --user daemon-reload && systemctl --user enable gitea. Then visit localhost:3000 and add it to your remotes (git remote add local ...) and you can push your changes to your own gitea instance.

Remember that, a priori, you should be far more skeptical of studies with this sort of result than, say, studies showing that neocortinoids don't harm bees or that the latest blockbuster pharmaceutical has no side effects. The sheer mass of money in position to lobby for the "fossil fuel use is fine!" position dwarfs that of all other financially-fraught research questions put together.

To wit; the company behind the paper in question, Carbon Engineering, is noted by Wikipedia as having "oil sands financier N. Murray Edwards" as one of it's principal backers. And the article's "outside expert's opinion" quote comes from Stephen Pacal, co-director of the Carbon Mitigation Initiative at Princeton- which has an "extended partnership with BP" worth a great deal of money [1]. The financial conflicts behind this research are staggering.

A Massive Breach of Trust
Today I received an email back from CrashPlan customer support. CrashPlan is a data backup company that recently decided to shut down their consumer business. I have tons of data there, and I've been trying to download it before they close my account. I say trying because their client mostly sits idle while in recovery mode, not actually transferring files, which is why I have been working with their support team. However, what I received was appalling, and an outrageous breach of trust.

I found that some files of mine seemed to be missing from my backup archive, and the response I got on this topic was the following (copied verbatim):

> What are some examples of subfolders you are not seeing? For instance, I am seeing that your zstorage contents are marked as "deleted". This doesn't mean they are removed, but that CrashPlan doesn't see them present on the current device. ... I am seeing multiple sub-directories marked the same, and they should be visible if you select "Include Deleted Files" from the three-dot button in the upper right.

Seriously, CrashPlan? You can view the contents of my archive? According to the technical documentation, my archive is encrypted with my account password. This is documented here: https://support.code42.com/CrashPlan/4/Configuring/Archive_encryption_key_security (I never set my own encryption key, thus it should be my account password used in the encryption).

I can't even wrap my head around what kind of "security" allows for customer support to access my files. Thought you all should know. I hope you don't store anything in CrashPlan.
Is mining that different in terms of physical requirements to construction?

I'll admit I'm not intimately familiar with modern coal mining.

But from the people I know in the industry (even older) vs who seems to be employable by our state DOT, I'd daresay the number should be a lot higher than ~0.0%.

People need to debug their application. If you need to convince people that this is a myth, you need to tell people how to debug and inspect their application and system.

Well, we typically operate from general principles[1] which don't require any particular biology. But of course it could turn out that the biology was similar (if panspermia-style theories are correct, or even just convergent evolution).

It is harder to be a white man today than it was for my father's generation.

There is now almost as much institutional hatred directed our way as there is for... no, that's overstating. There is definitely a lot of institutional hatred directed our way, but it still doesn't come anywhere close to the level of institutional hatred directed at literally every group other than white men.

The gap between white men and everyone is shrinking, but it's still there.
Well, infra is only one part of the system. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I feel like Facebook doesn't crash much nowadays so their infra is definitely stable, but their product code could use more work.
You have a lot of strange beliefs. Can you back any of them to the degree that you demand of others?

Have you considered taking a skeptical approach, and looking at the arguments that you disagree with a prior? I suspect that once you do, you will be more than convinced about, e.g. humans having increased CO2 levels. If you are not convinced of even that basic fact after looking at the evidence, I would suggest that there is not evidence at all that could change your mind. I.e. this is a religious or political conviction rather than an evidence based belief.

The idea that CO2 level rises is not due to human activity is as far out there as saying you've invented a perpetual motion machine. Honestly.
The coal industry deserves the same respect they show Silicon Valley and my peers, which is none.
Because it's not "the same people". This is legislation in a huge bicameral legislature with a multitude of interested parties, including 28 member states and eight political groups. That's before we even consider lobbying interests. Such legislation is usually a tug-of-war that involves lots of horsetrading and compromise (similar to the US Congress, really), because it requires majorities in both houses of the legislature. So you have the various political factions duke it out in the lower house (European Parliament) and the member states in the upper house (Council of the EU). The current proposal has seen a lot of back-and-forth between the conflicting interests of the member states (for example, Germany likes Article 11, but doesn't like Article 13, while other member states have different priorities).
For anyone not in the know, Trump is merely following the recommendations of the Department of Energy regarding providing economic payments to Coal/Nuclear to value the very very real value they provide in fuel-mix diversity. I recommend reading up on "Resiliency" and the Polar Vortex event of 2014. Essentially, the east coast almost ran out of the necessary power to serve load. This is because they had gas pipeline delivery issues and much gas was being used for residential heating. Fortunately, ~80% of the Coal slated for retirement in the region was available. The DOE stated things would have been "catastrophic" without coal there.

So yes Coal is uneconomic and awful for the environment. However, it is important to recognize the value that it and Nuclear bring as they often have a minimum of 3 months of fuel on-site unlike gas, intermittent renewable, and batteries.

Google 'could' open up all their gmail account's inboxes to an unrestricted public read-only rest api and shut down their normal email interface. They 'could' do this tomorrow. So everyone could see everyone else's email inbox.

Sucking CO2 out of the air that we put there is not climate engineering. It is just reducing the scale of the ongoing unintentional climate engineering being carried out worldwide by our use of fossil fuels.
Not alone, no. But it doesn't hurt, either.

Suicidal urges often last a very short amount of time (ten minutes or so), and for some percentage of people, a kind word at the right time absolutely does make the difference. It may be a small percentage, but it's worth being kind to all.

More apartment for your money, plentiful parking, more elbow room at restaurants, more say in civic life (if that is important to you). You can just "breathe" easier and aren't constantly "wound up" as tightly as a defense mechanism against being jostled, hustled, dealing with long waits. It's a little hard to appreciate until you're in it. Not the best if you're looking for a wider dating pool, need top flight arts and entertainment every weekend, or if you can't/don't keep a car.
Most people I know who use Fortran for long-running HPC jobs compile it with Intel's ifort. Are you using ifort (or another high-performance commercial compiler)? I ask because Intel's compilers can produce binaries with significantly better runtime performance than GNU or LLVM. AFAIK Rust relies exclusively on LLVM.

I'm wondering if the slowdown is mostly about the very mature optimizing compilers available for Fortran or if it's intrinsic to Rust's language design. (I've never written any Rust myself.)
The partisan obsession with coal is cultural, not practical. West Virginia coal miners are a convenient proxy for the image of hardworking Americans being oppressed by unnecessary and burdensome regulation (as if regulation was the source of the woes of the coal industry).

In practice, the entire coal mining industry employs fewer people than Arby's (true fact). Expensive changes to environmental regulations, environmental costs aside, will help very few people in that industry. Coal is gonna go the way of buggy whips, and and politicians will still do the moral equivalent of demanding we ban cars because they frighten the horses.

The real trick is going to be reworking the grid to take advantage of the intermittent nature of wind and solar. And the Invisible Hand has opinions about that. If you can cache enough power to stabilize the grid, then the whole "baseline" model currently provided by coal and nuclear plants running at near-capacity goes away.

And storing power isn't exactly rocket surgery. There are a whole lot of ways to do it - batteries, compression, gravity, thermal, etc. Add in smart micrometering (which also isn't exactly rocket surgery), and you create an arbitrage opportunity. Buy energy when it's cheap (when the wind blows and the sun shines), and sell it when it's dear (the demand is up and the sun is down). The invisible hand smooths out the ripples for us. The difference is power prices metered by the second or the minute, not the year. Market forces will regulate the prices, not actual regulation.

And because this combination cache baseline and zero-margin generation is so efficient, it'll quickly displace fossil and nuclear financially.

We just need to survive another couple of decades.
Indeed diagnostic criteria have changed and the number of people who can afford medical care has increased, so even if it was true that mental health problems have increased you couldn't compare so easily old and new data.
New diagnostic criteria however don't influence the 'diagnosis' of suicide so, in my opinion, comparing old and new numbers should be ok.
> But the principle is the same: companies are awash in candidates and can afford to be as picky as they need to be to put together their special-snowflake software teams.

We're awash in candidates, alright. Vastly unqualified candidates. For the same reason we have to treat applicants with healthy skepticism, shelters must because there are far too many folks who will adopt a pet and mistreat or simply return it.
Microsoft is where good products go to die. They change products and the communities and cultures associated with those projects. They are a big machine that has to please shareholders, and growth is difficult when you’re that big, so there are “hard choices” that can be made abruptly. These choices are often not to the benefit of the existing communities.

Aha, I thought I may find you on this thread, once again pushing the same line.
What do you mean by “no cost of time”. I’ve always thought if you own a business, you need to be dedicating your time to keeping it going or it’s going to fail. Where are these mystical businesses that you just own and collect checks every week?

I believe I am taking the skeptical approach. I've read a lot on the subject and most of what I find is appeals to fear and other emotions, for example that climate change is going to destroy the earth. Actually the Earth did quite well during the carboniferous period all things considered.

Maybe human activity is responsible for the increase in CO2. I don't deny that. They are correlated. I accept that. But maybe there is a third variable or combination of variables that is driving CO2 levels? Is that really so unreasonable. It seems awfully anthropocentric and, honestly, arrogant, to assume that human activity is the only thing that affects atmospheric composition. Perhaps you should take your own advice?

> The idea that CO2 level rises is not due to human activity is as far out there as saying you've invented a perpetual motion machine. Honestly.

No it isn't. Also, I never positively stated that it isn't.
20 years is an incredibly quick timespan in which to do this. If we can become carbon neutral by 2040 and carbon negative after, we can stave off many of the worst parts of climate change.
From your quote: "Should the US system be even more progressive than it already is..." The only way to read that is as acknowledging that the system already is progressive. Indeed, according to the title of the article, it is "unusually progressive."

The part about tax-band schedules is not an assertion that the system is not progressive "in effect." (That theory cannot be reconciled with the data presented in the article, which looks at taxes paid, not tax bands.) Instead the author is saying that if we want to make the system "even more progressive than it already is"--which he does not concede we should, he leaves that as a "maybe"--then we should be looking deeper than tax bands. (And he points out that the possibility of loopholes and preferential treatment does not indicate that the U.S. system is not progressive, because other countries do that too.)
Do you think regret is morally valid?
I would say the biggest factor is that it is a very repetitive rectangular box.

Overall design and how it is detailed is the dominant factor in time it takes to build things.

Do I have lots of joints that have to be perfect or can they be rough cut and covered with trim?

Do things assembly easily without having to fiddle due to having the correct tolerances?

Cuts and joins are what take the most time. The less cuts and joins you have the cheaper and faster things will be. Also cuts and joins that have to be done to high tolerances take a lot longer.

As best as I can tell, it means something like "using the generally available levers of social shame and guilt to dissuade someone from doing something, or if they have already done the bad thing, then requiring them to explain their behavior in a satisfactory way and make a public commitment to avoid doing it again."
to the average person... the shock value of 14 million is pretty much the same shock value as 1 billion. they’re both beyond the buku horizon.
Not really answering your question but, from the IEA the capital cost of a nuclear plant is about 50% higher than a coal fired one. Although cost overruns over the last 15-20 years points to that being maybe too generous. That would indicate that safety issues are only about half to a third the cost problem.

Other problem is the long construction times. As the planning and construction time becomes a larger fraction of the payback time, the economics gets increasing bad. That's a problem for nuclear plants with 10-15 year construction time lines and 30 year payback. Compare with nat gas or solar plants with 2-5 year build outs. Worse nat gas plays back in 5-10 years.
>> People need to debug their application.

I'm not saying applications don't need to be debugged, that would be silly. What I am saying is that this "Unikernels are hard to debug" is a hand wavey way of knocking down the technology, and it has really worked - witness this subthread.

The unikernel is the final build, the package, the output of application development and debugging which happens upstream, before you put it into the package.

There's always ways you can expose the inner workings of a unikernel to gain insight into whatever might be going wrong for whatever reason - if you really need to do it at the stage that it is a running unikernel - but in most cases its just not necessary because application development and debugging happens, as I say, upstream of the final building of the thing into a unikernel.

And it requires that you be in a position of power - otherwise it's just heckling, which isn't likely to have any real impact. In this case it'd be having the ability to impose fines, or discipline corporate officers, etc.
Googling my own answer... in the US, nuclear provides about 20% of our electricity. Russia, 17.8%. China, only 2%, with a 6% goal.

France is 74%, a strong outlier, but I don't think they have much domestic coal.

Fortran also has an interesting pattern of dealing with memory, in that everything is passed by reference between functions, yet there is no need to manually manage memory like you would need to in C/C++.

I've never seen code where you need to deal with malloc et al. You are able to create dynamically allocated arrays or let arrays be sized on evocation, but I've never needed to deallocate or free memory at the end of a function/subroutine.
Okay then they are a dishonest toxic employee. The way to solve that is by trying to weed out such people in your hiring, and do due diligence on their previous employment record. I fail to see how that changes my conclusion.
Although I don't work in self-driving cars, I do know a fair amount of ML and AI, and I have to be honest: if my bosses asked me to build this system, I would have immediately pointed out several problems and said that this is not a shippable product.
