Seems like a US-centric problem, in the UK the 'credit score' is completely worthless and different for each credit agency (there are three main agencies).

Loans, mortgages, etc. are based on your whole credit history, and if you take out a loan it will be marked on your history and when you cancel it within the 14-day cooling off period the credit history will be updated to say it's closed.

Unless you're doing this multiple times in six months or so, it won't affect anything (maybe your credit score might go down a bit when you take out the loan but it goes back up after a few months when it's updated again normally - but a this credit score doesn't mean anything it doesn't matter).

Well, not sure anyone would actually mind working with induction woks, but if you really need "natural gas", you can generate that using electricity as well. And not only can you do that, it's actually a thing that's being done right now, as a method of storing surplus renewable energy: You simply use it to generate methane and feed that into the existing natural gas distribution infrastructure for storage, and as a side effect you displace some fossil fuel.
An actual problem might be how to generate a responsive design for "mobile" and different screen sizes. That's what you should focus on. The problem with picking new cool tools and languages is that you might end up solving dev/sys-ops issues, learning how to use them, and develop additional tooling, instead of solving actual problems. Unless you think it's a really good fit for the actual problem domain and thus worth the extra investments.

The current paradigm in the US was to encourage immigration from the third world and then provide them subsidy for living expenses and making a bigger family. The goal of this appears to me to be about increasing consumption in the US and I would think this enables a much higher level of CO2 emission vs what would be generated under the different economic conditions in their home country.
P2P would have been an acceptable term at some point.
The point is that refusing to trade with someone because they said something you don't like is not a good way to make money, and as such, one way or another, companies wouldn't take such measures were it not for the government's influence, regardless of the precise means of operation of that influence. If it were like you say, we'd see the influence of the companies undoing such government policies so that they can be unrestricted in their trade and make more money. That's not what we see. (Or likely we see it in other areas, but it's clear which way the influence runs in this one.)

Isn't this the car that's being discontinued?
I organised a test drive, with no intention of buying the car. It was just as an "experience" day for the family.... I enjoyed it so much, I then bought a Model S. I wouldn't have bought without the test drive.
That CSS gradient example seems like a proper foot gun to me - I don't use CSS much, and I would never have expected that.

> If you're from the OpenGL world then you may be thinking of EGL_GL_COLORSPACE_LINEAR_KHR?

...I've just realized, are you talking about the EGL API (as opposed to OpenGL)? I don't actually use that - I nearly always restrict myself to an OpenGL or GLES core profile (no extensions) and use a support library (nearly always GLFW3) to handle all interfacing with the local system in a platform independent manner. It just keeps my code sane and manageable. :)

So for me, to output 8-bit non-linear sRGB colors from a fragment shader I would attach a GL_SRGB8 formatted image to my FBO. Much more typically though I would simply use GL_RGBA8 and output on the range [0, 1].

> Linear isn't a colorspace. Linear is about the gamma function, which is independent of the actual colorspace.

I was very confused by this statement and most of what followed it. After reading a bit, I think I was conflating color spaces and color models. If I understand correctly, all along I've been manipulating a linear RGB color model which was then mapped by my monitor on to (most likely) some approximation of the sRGB color space. So where I said linear earlier, I believe what I meant was any linear RGB color model (not space). Bonus points for using [0, 1] as the interval because it's easy to think about.

What it comes down to is that as a programmer, I just want to get my code working. Linear models on [0, 1] are easy to process and think about - 0 is off, 1 is on, and 0.5 is half way in between. If you want to add things together, you just add them together. Remapping from one range to another is trivial. It all just works. Sure it doesn't match up with human perception the way you might expect, but that's what the graphics API, drivers, a color calibrated display, and possibly some complicated external libraries are for, right? At least in theory.

Huge swathes of the world are currently transitioning from fossil fuel powered transport to electric. This statement seems to ignore future trends that are already upon us.

The longest range Teslas have 100 KWh batteries in them. Our house of 6 people uses about 8-10 KWh per day.

It's not just cars too - every transportation system is in some state of transitioning now, even boats and planes (though very early stages there). All of the trains in the Netherlands are powered by wind energy.

Civilization is electrifying, so cheap renewables are only becoming more effective at mitigating CO2 emissions.

Ask HN: Best Alternative to the WakeMate? (2019)
I used to love this product but it hasn't been around since 2012.
I put lineageos onto several devices in the past year and they exhibited some mysterious slowness and reduced battery time. I checked everything I could imagine, CPU usage, I/O, but nothing was significant enough to explain this. I love lineageos, what can I do to find out what strains and drains my hardware?
I bought the same phone… I think it hasn't even been supported for one year, maybe six months, maybe even less.

I'm willing to build Lineage myself for it when I find the time for it (the amount of stuff you have to download to build an Android distro is completely crazy), but I'm just wondering… why aren't unofficial builds official? Is there anything that makes it difficult, or do people just not care?
Moving the schools is not required to help the teachers find housing. The community reacted negatively to the way it was presented and the political games being played, including the media coverage which has been mostly simplistic and one-sided at best thus far.

Ideally the “new school” site could be turned into housing instead of destroying the center of the community which will require difficult zoning changes (currently 1 home per 5 acres I believe).

This is a good summary but since 1996 immigrants are generally eligible for the same government subsidies as citizens.

"The average household headed by an immigrant (legal or illegal) costs taxpayers $6,234 in federal welfare benefits, which is 41 percent higher than the $4,431 received by the average native household.
The average immigrant household consumes 33 percent more cash welfare, 57 percent more food assistance, and 44 percent more Medicaid dollars than the average native household. Housing costs are about the same for both groups." https://cis.org/Report/Cost-Welfare-Use-Immigrant-and-Native...

Journals already impose formatting and submission rules on scientists. Asking them to send them a BibTeX file would be no major issue, given that all reference managers can import and export BibTeX.

I know that a lot of smart scientists struggle with computers and they cling on MS word because they have invested a lot of time and effort into learning how to use it. But I think, we should try to convince them that there are better, simpler and more reliable ways to author papers.

But still, people who do so are far outnumbered by those entering middle class in other countries. It's not about migration. Fighting global warming by limiting economic growth is simply not going to work.

My idea of a solution to global warming is no solution: accept that the global warming will happen, discover its consequences, and make them a part of economic planning on both government and corporate level. Make people educated about it. That's it.
It is far cheaper to reduce the emissions of CO2 by switching to carbon free energy to a sufficient level that atmospheric CO2 stops rising (~25-50% of current level, different sources give different numbers), than to extract CO2 from the atmosphere.
totally agree here

there should be a global program to give welfare payments for those willing to participate in a birth control program

No. If you had done some basic google you'd find out the plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt has been discontinued.

With abundant clean electricity, running planes on synthetic fuels (that only release what had been captured during production) would be a no-brainer. The only reason ships are not massively tapping into wind is because the refinery waste they burn as fuel is so cheap thanks to our enormous use of higher grade crude oil derivatives.

Some Good Bridal Shower Speeches by 123WeddingCards
Overall I like this redesign! Some parts I truly enjoy there:

* single layer navigation: it looks busy, but it would improve my life a lot; I find the current one pretty annoying
* showing statistics on the main page: this is very useful information for me when I come to evaluate whether I should use the library in my project

* list of commits: again it helps me to see whether the project is still maintained; if the last commit was 5 years ago the project might still be good, but possibly it doesn't work with the new versions of other libraries; also adding tags there is cool!

* icons added to "find/create/upload file" menu, really good idea!

* watching/not watching button

* language names right on the main page. It's very confusing to have to click on the colour bar to see what languages does the project use

And here are some things I'm not sure about:

* colours are more intensive and I feel that my eyes would get tired more easily; I like the current colour palette

* flattening of buttons looks very iOS-ish and I'm not fan of the trend

* there's no separation between columns, for a moment I thought that users avatars belonged to the files column and I didn't know why some files had user next to them and other didn't.

That's a nice experiment and I'd love to see more ideas like this, to understand the way of thinking behind certain design decisions.

On a side, I find it pretty sad that there's so much negativity in this thread. I know people are used to certain designs and don't like changes, but saying "I hate this" is very strong and I don't understand why anyone would have such strong feelings towards other person's blog post.

When I had a need for a Dockered cross-compiler, I found that Gentoo and crossdev [0] were amazing. Because of Gentoo's philosophy of distributing source only, the toolchain was built inside the container, and using fresh versions of each tool.

A few additional steps were involved with setting up an overlay, but it was smooth sailing from there, and people on #gentoo-mips were eager to help.

>Would it make more sense to instead target the patterns used by predatory commentators rather than shutting down the system completely?

Terrible, terrible idea.

Transfer this to the "real world", and see how it plays out - let's build a system that will analyze people's behavior and penalize them on whether it classifies them as pedophiles or not! This will surely protect the children.

Moderation is a notoriously tough problem even without the whole trouble of automating it through something as "ephemeral" as content analysis.

It seems that it takes far fewer lines of code (and correspondingly simple program model) to implement LISP in Prolog than both imperative and functional languages.

Once I asked a Prolog expert at a conference "Prolog is truly mind-bending and powerful, but why don't we see it used more often? where are the jobs so I could get one" and they said that for those who use Prolog in production it is a real competitive advantage that they don't want to announce to the world; plus some are state actors and quasi-state actors who use it for huge scheduling and optimization problems and like their secrets secret. I think I believe that.

I've read about this neat process for extracting CO2 from the atmosphere. You place a ultra compact box in the ground containing it's own building instructions and tooling for separating CO2 in to oxygen and building giant structures of the carbon. It's apparently called photosynthesis.
By heat recapture do you mean heat pumps and insulation?

I (personally) include heat pumps in the heating category, and yes most houses are probably under insulated. Insulation can lower the air con load also.

And, as all the database miner node is distributed globally(not enought for now). By running a client you can visit the forum even from localhost, it's relatively hard to block the forum.

>Completely disagree, the system dependencies are my dependencies and whenever possible I want to be able to "make install" and have my dependencies update with the rest of my system.

You can disagree, but you'd be wrong in anything that a one-map-shop setting working on a single project, and willing to depend on the distro's (or third party distro package manager repos) versions of language libraries and frameworks.

>Entirely doable with existing package managers, just use the -root switch with dpkg or the --prefix switch with rpm or (or configure if you build from source). Typically I only want a small subset of version specific packages.

Typically this is a luxury that software shops with different projects (including older, already installed), different customers, etc., can't have.

>or python/perl/ruby, it used to be quite common to include packages from the OS repository, until they reinvented the wheel

Or until those languages weren't used merely by sys-admins and one-off scripts, but for large project development, and "include packages from the OS repository" wouldn't cut it anymore.

>For rust, that's why it's a joke as a "systems language".

Total non-seguitur. In fact, one of the main goals of C++ (as per the posted roadmap) is to add a package manager.

But the total non-seguitur that "Rust is a joke as a systems language" because it has cargo I think disqualifies anything else that can be said here.
This brings back fond memories as writing a lisp interpreter in prolog was the final project for my survey of programming languages course in university. Didn’t know people would still be doing it 20 years later.

You're joking, but producing biochar is actually a decent way of doing carbon capture that doesn't require any fancy technology. You even get some energy out of it.
