Recapture is a rather extravagant way of pricing carbon. We don’t need to eliminate carbon emissions entirely overnight, we need a certain percentage reduction each year for a few decades, and the carbon cost necessary to achieve that will be a lot lower.
As a coder, I don’t think I “suck at design” in terms of product decisions. However, it’s way easier to code something I have a sketch file for than something I have in my head. Whether I made it or someone else made it doesn’t matter. Just having something to work against makes for much more consistent UI.

IME this is because when we code without a spec, we haven’t answered all the questions up front. Either we box ourselves in by how we designed the code, or we make a spaghetti soup of UI buttons as we add unplanned features.

So, the important thing is not necessarily that we as coders “suck at design,” so much as that we tend to sometimes code without first thinking about the UI.
Specs from the SmallWorld Facebook page:

“Our current test version is 4GB RAM, 1.1Ghz CPU mobile version, 128GB SSD.

The final specs we want for $369:
- 8GB RAM
- 256GB SSD (minimum 128GB)
- Core i3 (final confirm in a couple week, but that is the goal)

Hope we can hit that target. Will update more later.”

I've been in a half dozen restaurants of this style....in Manchester UK, London, and Frankfurt DE. I had no problem with the style of service.
I have an otherwise quite good book on Direct3D 9.0c (in C++ of course), but there are 'little things' which look like mere bad style, but which I'm pretty certain cause undefined behaviour.

Using the Windows 'ZeroMemory' macro to assign bitwise zero over a newly declared object, rather than using a constructor like god intended.

In C++, null isn't required to be bitwise zero, so I'm fairly sure nasal demons are possible here. (Do we still have 'effective type' in C++?)

> Brotli can be significantly smaller and compress faster than gzip

I have a custom compression algorithm that is fairly competitive as well. It transforms the UK DVD first edition of the second season of Monty Python's Flying Circus to a bitwise identical copy of the third frame of the dancing baby gif. It is otherwise an identity transform.

It can perform better than both brotli and gzip on both axes, I tested by compressing the UK DVD first edition of the second season of Monty Python's Flying Circus. It blew brotli and gzip out of the water. Or at least it did until I got a scratch on the disk. But I'm sure I can optimize for the new target as well.

EDIT: I was trying to make the point that the title is so handwavey as to be meaningless. You could probably reverse them and show a similar result with different cases.

The article does go on to link to a page[0] showing performance on the top 1000 sites, and discussing how to tune brotli to provide the best space/time tradeoffs.

Having a discussion with someone who quotes Dijkstra can be frustrating. He wrote Go To Statement Considered Harmful and On the Cruelty of Really Teaching Computer Science and left behind a bunch of pithy quotes to mine besides. You end up having to explain why blanket bans on goto don't make sense, why it really is quite difficult to mathematically prove that a program works, or why it makes sense to teach students software engineering and not just teach them the mathematics.

At this point I'm ready to say "Dijkstra considered harmful" or "the use of Dijkstra quotes cripples the mind, their use in discussions should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offence."

So that last 'graph got me wondering, and knowing that there are basically no plastics recycled where I live, I looked up if cling film, or polystyrene (a typical steak wrapping) could be recycled in Seatlle, and the answer is no.

In fact it looks like the answer is no most everywhere. And while cling film does degrade after decades, while polystyrene might take multiple 100,000s of years.

Which means the problem might be the steak if the wrapper is disposed responsibly, disposing responsibly is the real problem, and likely impossible.

That's incorrect, the line driver for an XLR output is simply a polarity inverter that exposes both the original and the inverted signal at the same magnitude. The trick is that both lines are equally affected by the interference, you invert the inverted signal again on the receiving end resulting in 2x the signal and 0x the interference.

We had a similar experience 10 years ago. I got a call about free vacations or another prize, catch was sitting through 1h timeshare sales pitch. It was an horrible experience, everything was fake, there were actors in the back screaming "We are so HAPPY TO BUY THIS", etc. I don't remember the number for the timeshare but what I remember is that it was impossible for me to buy that, there wasn't anything I could do even if I wanted, but they insisted , insisted and insisted. We wanted to go away from that horrible place and we didn't care about the prize at that point but we felt like "politely" kidnapped. Is an horrible experience I never had in my entire live. Finally they gave me the prize, it was 7 days in a place I didn't care and it had a lot of blackout dates as well, tax not includes, and a lot of items "not included". Note: this was in Argentina, probably in the first world there are more strict rules.

See if your grocery store's plastic bag recycling can take it.

Cling film can't be recycled with glass/plastic/paper because it ties up the machines, but here in upstate NY you can put it in with grocery bags, ziplocks, and other thin plastics at the in-store drop-off. We started doing this as well as a composting service and it's remarkable how much emptier our trash bin is now - half the volume, easily.
Part of the reason for that is that heroin is artificially expensive due to prohibition. People who pay extortionary prices on the black market are less able to sustain their habit without turning to crime. It might be better if heroin was supplied by the medical community instead of drug cartels and smugglers (though this OxyContin situation isn't really demonstrating that).

For an illustration of how the black market affects prices, one can look at cannabis in the US - standard price for an ounce of high quality bud was about 350 a few years back. In states that have fully legalized, the going price has dropped to about 120.
Firstly, job well done. Secondly, what is the motivation of going pure CSS aside from the challenge of it?

I once prefered Pure CSS stuff until I learned Javascript myself. Now I've come to loathe that approach on complex menus and widgets.

Original post below.

Author here. This was submitted with:

'You can't use Brotli for dynamic content' and other horses**t (2018)

Odd the title was changed, you can see from the timestamp I spent yesterday updating it for 2018 (brotli is more of a big deal now iOS users can use it). Also the original title highlighted the very specific point that a lot of what is written about brotli online is incorrect. Most HN users are grown ups and have handle a starred-out swear word. Oh well.
The problem is human infrastructure is built around existing climates. Something small like 2% more rain seems meaningless, but add that on top of extreme events and overtopping levees instead of being a 100 year event it's a 10 year event. Tropical diseases / insects stop being so tropical etc etc. It's a death of 1000 cuts.

On top of that clean energy is cheap, the difference between coal electricity and renewable sources is vastly less than the costs from climate change. So doing nothing has significant costs from climate changes but cutting emissions 50% is fairly cheap.

PS: Electric cars might win on their own even without considering climate change. So, we can make huge difference in adoption without significant costs.
> Londoners might not dream of electric buses, …

Every single cyclist dreams of electric busses, believe you me.

>narrow case of making
>transfers that are illegal

Exactly, except I don't see why do you think it's a narrow case? Legal ways are burdensome, expensive for those who can live a week for $10, and sometimes don't work altogether because of political reasons which are unlikely to disappear soon (I don't even sure they have to disappear at all). And economic migration is huge, so it's safe guess to say that number of people who need to send money back to home country is very significant. And now it's already being done via gray, and illegal schemes, in fact. (Please note: "illegal" is used as morally neutral term here because laws could be wrong, or simply inefficient.) In many places around the world you can find a sort of alternative banking in a medieval fashion - as a trusted network of individuals, and families. One may expect regular online bank should beat this system, but it just doesn't happen, because of reasons I mentioned.

Somalia remains politically disintegrated by warring factions which I think is a bigger factor then currency rates and still there's internet, that's what I'm saying. Also, myself lived in a country where price of local currency could substantially change during a day, and it wasn't the end of the world. In those times much fewer people used internet, but it was there, electricity was there, no zombies walking in streets, shops worked, and rule of law (even if bad law, and bad rule) remained in reasonable amount. People just started to ignore that part which prohibits use of foreign currencies. Payments were often technically illegal - you see the pattern. Would I use bitcoin then if internet were as available as it is now? I can't say for sure, but maybe. Depends on circumstances like taxes, enforcement of currency controls, availability of US$ cash, need to make cross-border transfers.

Don't know a lot about Venezuela's current condition, but if electricity has become luxury already, an intermediary can solve this trouble, it could still be more efficient than moving cash in bags.

I think this case is actually a really good one to look at, as there are clear 8th Amendment issues. He already was sentenced for the crime in question, but the asset seized has over 4x the value of the maximum fine for the crime he was guilty of.

Also, it presents a hardship for his rehabilitation- he needs to have employment as terms of his release, and if he can't get to work because of the forfeiture of his means of transportation, that presents additional burden to holding up his end of the agreement.

Energy appears to be obtainable sustainably (so a feeling manifests that it’s okay to waste it right now as long as we keep pedalling hard toward a clean solution ASAP). Plastic degradation appears to be a much harder problem. Also of course, helps that plastic garbage is “visible and ugly”, whereas climate change is abstract.
It depends how you define "runtime", though.

If you use Rust strings, you may get a large amount of code included to handle them. Also, if you use malloc, that adds a significant amount of code.

It's true that languages like Rust have fewer runtime requirements than languages like Java but none of them are 100% proportional to the code you wrote.
