This is completely false, misleading information. Disappointing to see it is at the top. Different plants have varying levels of ideal co2 concentrations, and many do worse when they are higher than now. Not to mention since co2 will change temperature and weather, the net effect could be bad for a given plant even if the plant would thrive with more co2 in isolation.

In what situation would you be adding 7/16ths of an inch to 7/8 of a mile? If you have such crazy tolerances you shouldn't be using fractions from the start. And even if you did, with imperial system you could just write '7/8 mile and 7/16th of an inch' or '7/8 mi. 7/16 " ' and when they measure it out they will measure 7/8 of a mile, then add on that 7/16 inch.

And whatever you are measuring that length with, fucking awesome job getting 1/16 or better tolerances over that amount of distance with .

It's about an upgrade, bring Linux to a better level, not "Linux UI looks ugly, it's bad and unusable".
Yeah just line it up with that non-existant mark on your measuring stick. Is it enough of a tolerance problem to really worry about? Likely not. But you still can't point to a specific line to measure too unless they have specially added 1/3 marks.

My main point is that if CO2 levels fall below 150 ppm there would be a mass extinction of land-based plants, and of all the animals who depend on this vegetation. If you care about life on the continents, and human life, this is a valid concern when people explore schemes to rapidly remove massive quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere.

Fluent C++ is 2 Years Old – Fluent C++
Interesting take on decentralized technologies. It feels to me like attacking (or defending) decentralized technologies in general is a bit abstract though. Just taking Bitcoin for example, where would you see this concept of racing to the bottom and trading away your values (outside of the shortcomings of the technology itself). Since it's a platform for holding and trading assets, I don't think there is the competitive aspect that would drive any of those behaviors, but maybe your article is focused on competitive scenarios more than anything else.

But even when there is a notion of competition you say that to avoid the traps left around by an imperfect (perhaps unavoidably) system of incentives, coordination is necessary, questioning the need for a decentralized system in the first place. But is that really so bad/superfluous? What if the coordination necessary to make a decentralized system work led more easily to a desirable and elastic result than something crafted by hand. Again, maybe it's too abstract, but I picture a decentralized governance system where members would have to coordinate to achieve a proper equilibrium. For example the biggest hurdle to fighting lobbyism effectively isn't coordination from competing interests, it's the lack of resources. Wouldn't a decentralized system negate the power of money, networking, services, preferential treatment (and even blackmail) even if it still ended up causing/requiring coordination?
Base 12 is more convenient than base 10. But that argument really only works if numbers were written in base 12. They're not, though, and that isn't changing any time soon. As a result, Imperial has to deal with two bases - the units themselves are defined base 12 (more or less; it's not really consistent e.g. with volume), but then you still have to do arithmetic in base 10.

So, until such time as we switch to base 12 for all numbers, metric is superior, because it is simpler.

Before we get around to building half the planned F35s, they'll cancel the program and move on to the next shiny new program. That's how every big defense project works.

Here's how it works. You start out with a giant estimate, for 3,000 planes. That giant estimate is mostly caused by the lifetime cost of maintaining 3k planes. As the years roll by, you start chopping production numbers off, while trying to get some cost inflation per unit somewhere. You end up spending 1/3 less, for 1/2 the planes in the end. 20 years after the first F35 flight, you've moved on to the next big thing. Conveniently justified by an inevitable, possibly dramatic, change in what the military needs.

CO2 is one variable of many. Temperature is more important because it determines what enzymes can work efficiently. It's unlikely that current plants would survive the accompanying temperature changes that would occur if CO2 significantly increases.

The largest and, long-term, most effective carbon sink are phytoplankton. They are responsible for half of all photosynthesis, thus absorbing tremendous quantities of CO2. As they individually die, they over millions of years accumulate thick carbon-filled layers at the bottom of oceans. This is the ultimate origin of oil deposits, by the way.

Nope, it is fixed to be N_A = 602,214,076,000,000,000,000,000 exactly (6.02214076x10^23 to units precision).

It used to be the case that the mole was an experimental value equal to the number of atoms in a certain mass of a certain something. That is no longer the case with this revision. It is a fixed, never changing integer constant.

This does mean that 1 mole of carbon-12 is no longer exactly 12 grams. But it is approximately 12.0000000 grams, which is within the best we can experimentally measure today, so nothing changes in practice as a result of this update except first chapter of an introductory chemistry textbook (good excuse to push out a 9th edition for $250!).

Therefore it is accurate to say now that whereas before the Avogadro's number was experimentally determined based the exact expressed mass of a carbon-12 atom relative to a platinum-iridium cylinder in Paris (the old kg), it is now the case that the expressed mass of the carbon-12 atom must be measured relative to the a kg definition based on Planck's constant.

(I say "expressed mass" because this situation is a little confusing... I'm talking about the numbers we write down expressing the mass as a multiple of some standard kilogram. That reference mass changed, not the actual inertial mass.)

the big idea is that most companies are heavily virtualized - if you are using aws/gce you most definitely are and many private datacenters are as well - I'm not going to speak for ukl in particular but in general unikernels are vastly more secure than a normal process and much faster (if you are already virtualized which you are on aws/gce) - there is absolutely no reason to have 2 layers of linux if you are in 'the cloud'
If you have taken some "intro to proofs" or "intro to abstract algebra" or "intro linear algebra" or any other such course where you've seen rigorous proofs, then Jay Cummings' "Real Analysis: A Long-Form Mathematics Textbook" [0] is simply a phenomenal introduction to real analysis. It's a fast paced tour de force through rigorous analysis.

Welp, TIL.
Agreed. I'm only about 2/3 the way through it, but a lot of comments in this thread, and the article itself, seem to go against what he says. But, he does mention that sleep leads itself to a host of other issues, and that's what could cause the death. As to all the other claims, well, we don't really know how sleep deprived we are, as he mentions.
The new definition of mole is exactly that - it's just 6.02214076×10^23 items of whatever, and no longer depends on kilogram.

Meant chord. Didn't realize. Thanks for pointing it out. Will make the correction.
> I’ve always felt fine despite sleeping 5 hours

This is part of it, I think. In Why we Sleep, Dr. Walker specifically mentions that we often don't realize how sleep deprived we truly are. Given the fact that, if you rounded the percentage of people who have the mutation needed for less sleep, there's an effectively 0% chance of you having it, I'd say that's what's coming into play here.

What? you switch to metric and suddenly fractions are not a thing any more?

1/3 m is just that, one third of a meter, perfectly. How is that so complicated? It can also be 333.3mm. And no one would write it as 333/1000 to make it seem more complicated than it is.
Well, strictly speaking it's safer to have a system where the application can't write into kernel memory space and the kernel can't (accidentally) write into application space.

You don't have the risk of leaking secrets or malicious interference between applications that are supposed to be isolated if you've only got one app, but I could still see where someone might rather have memory protection than not in a single-user/single-application environment.
This planet is more fragile than people think

Citation needed.

It would be very difficult to totally wipe out humans - including all remote tribes, all underground sealed bunkers. I'm not saying that's perfect, but the less-bad it gets down from that kind of global catastrophe level, and the less sudden it is, the greater the number of humans who will survive it.

As for the planet, what does it mean for it to be "fragile"? It survived whatever impact split The Moon off.
Are you seriously making the argument that a program reading untrusted data off a network should crash if it can’t parse the data?

Programs should never, EVER crash. If you can’t decide/handle a Unicode codepoint, replace it with a question mark (or box etc) and carry on. And yes, a big-name program like iMessage absolutely should have unit tests for this.

I can’t believe I’m having to explain this.
My sense is that in a given research project, the proportion of people who do actual technical work vs total people getting paid directly or indirectly has significantly reduced. Even worse, the folks who are not actually on the grounds doing the work gets paid lion share. I'd read about studies on how vast majority of university funds are used on non-faculty staff and tuition increases where directly proportional to increase in highly paid non-faculty.

This kinda sums up how I feel about what the internet has done to ya. Life just feels sort of grey now. If someone recommends a restaurant or book that used to have value. If you sought out their recommendation and felt the same way it was kind of part of our shared experience.

By making all these experiences easy to discover all the magic was instantly removed. It’s like turning on a cheat code that shows you where all the treasures in a video game are located, sure you can gather them all with ease, but you lost the whole point of playing.
