> `fd` uses threads and `ff` does not.

Author here. This is true. ff does not use threads right now. I have started learning Rust just a few days ago. I am not quite yet familiar with advanced topics such as achieving parallelism using threads in Rust and other similar stuff. My knowledge of Rust is limited at this moment and I struggled to get the language concepts to work such as ownership, lifetimes, etc. I am sure that I will be able to improvise the ff's performance by some extent by gaining some more knowledge of Rust.
I'm not convinced they could have made it cheap enough for the average home user in the 80s. Apple at the time was not gaining home market share because their computers were very expensive
Technically, you are not answering GP's question.
I don't even bother clicking on most news links anymore. I follow a Reuters RSS feed for business and market news and a few NPR feeds for general news. Over the past couple or years I've lost a lot of faith in most of the major news outlets. Some are little more than propaganda, and the ones that manage to remain factually correct most of the time have their reporting clouded by bias.
It's hard to take this article seriously coming from the New York Post [1], which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, the owner of dozens of politically biased news organizations and Fox News, a propaganda outlet made expressly to protect the Republican party from another loss like the Nixon impeachment.

Venmo is just a popular example and there are a lot of others. However, if privacy is your concern, global public ledger tech isn't a good option either.
Not necessarily. I've seen some k8s on IOT industrial use cases where it made sense. Solar power stations were one example, IIRC.
Rancher Employee here: One of the use cases we have been seeing is for stores, factories, oil wells, base stations, wind farms, etc. the apps people are trying to deploy to these now look much more like data center/micro services apps. Kafka, Redis, logstash, etc. K8s is really good for running these in a reliable and consistent way on potentially divergent hardware.

I think part of what ought to happen (and likely won't) is simply for people to change their behaviors.

Many things do not need hazardous detergents to clean. If something is sufficiently dry, it can easily be sterile enough to be considered clean. And so, a gross-looking rag might not necessarily be unhealthy. Further, people could just own "categories" of rags: one for cleaning the house, one for work with cars and machinery, one for biological use, etc. And each of those could be treated separately so as to reduce chemical usage.

I'm not confident people would ever do this, instead just that avoiding some of these problems is not conceptually difficult. That's more of a problem of behaviorism and consumerism. (and, as you point out, education)

[edit]

I do agree with your point, though. Apparently you can compost paper towels, too. So as long as you're not cleaning anything you can put on your lawn, you don't even need further transportation costs to dispose of or recycle.
At small scale, why wouldn’t it be efficient?

You can use the windmill to also drive a pump that pumps the water through, say, 20 meters of well-insulated pipe and from there through your floor heating system.

Also, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_heating is at least somewhat competitive with other methods, so scaling up may be possible, too.
I am surprised we are not building more Plasma Arc systems to process the waste. Surely this would be better than creating all this dioxin in the air.

So we are basically converting the rotation of the planet to heat.... hmmm. No wonder we are slowing down.
If the 80k truck has 5 axles (as is typical of an 18 wheeler) and a 5k car has two, then the truck has 16k on each axle and the car has 2.5k on each axle.

Because the damage scales with the 4th power, then the damage ratio is the 4th power of the axle weight ratio:

(16k/2.5k) ^ 4 = 1677x as much damage.

Edit: Sorry, that oversimplifies it a bit. For the same vehicle, the damage scales that way, but for a fair comparison, you'd have to account for the fact that the weight is distributed over more and bigger tires on each axle. Still, that should show you how the math works.

Fritz lang said as much himself. See theoriginal reception section:

"The main thesis was Mrs. Von Harbou's, but I am at least 50 percent responsible because I did it. I was not so politically minded in those days as I am now. You cannot make a social-conscious picture in which you say that the intermediary between the hand and the brain is the heart. I mean, that's a fairy tale—definitely. But I was very interested in machines. Anyway, I didn't like the picture—thought it was silly and stupid—then, when I saw the astronauts: what else are they but part of a machine? It's very hard to talk about pictures—should I say now that I like Metropolis because something I have seen in my imagination comes true, when I detested it after it was finished?"

If your card company doesn't reverse charges you can take them to small claims court, and also change card company.

You can't point to one case and say that it doesn't work. My experience is that you as a consumer will win a chargeback. It's so reliable that there mere mention of it to a merchant will make them refund you, because their fees go up if their chargeback rate goes up.

Also cryptocurrencies make this infinitely worse, not better.

If you want to make a case for cryptocurrencies you should actually go with the safety for the merchant, not the consumer. The consumer holds the power with credit cards. But then again today the merchant can always choose to only take debit cards, thus fixing the whole problem.

And it's not like you don't have to trust anyone to use cryptocurrencies. The government will still kick down your door if you break the law because that's what people want from society.

Even in the worst situations, like I said, as long as we can create energy, then no that situation is far unlikely for crop production. We have great technology already existing to handle that. Only better will be developed in time as well....

I strongly believe that we will not be set back by climate change, in fact I think it will spur an innovative age and result in a boom of more technology.

Also merging with intelligent systems may one day eliminate the need for crops all together as our energy source.

My position, naive? No, it is optimistic that humans will push to innovate and continue the evolution of technology, while also not worrying about a changing environment, whatever may come of it. Then we will build through space, we are at the beginning moments (last 50ish years) of space exploration and expansion.

Think 1000 years from now, the "climate change" worries of the 2000s will be viewed as primitive worry. So in the long run, we are either dead or this is viewed as primitive.

Here in case you didn't read:

> It is not hard to find examples of how far we have strayed from reporting standards in the Trump era. A simple example is Time Magazine falsely reporting on President Donald J. Trump’s first day in office, stating that he’d removed a statue of Martin Luther King from the Oval Office. The news went viral. But the writer did not follow the most basic rule of journalism — pick up the phone and ask the White House if it was really gone, and why? The writer late wrote a correction on his Twitter account, stating “The MLK bust is still in the Oval Office. It was obscured by an agent and door.”

There are numerous examples. Most recently the entire media running with a Buzzfeed story to the tune of "Trump is finished" that Mueller himself disputed, or the stuff about the MAGA hat kids that allegedly surrounded and mocked a Native American peace activist (turns out he had muscled his way into their gathering and was physically intimidating them, but the press ran with a selectively edited video and didn't bother corroborating it). This is stuff that gets widespread coverage before any journalist bothers with due diligence.

I think it's a shame because a free press is one of the only ways to keep the government in check but they are shredding their own credibility, apparently because of personal biases (but who really knows), and the result of that is a government that can rightfully dismiss a lot of what gets reported. How do you recover after "crying wolf" too many times?

> Job boards are getting crowded. Recruiters are generally worse.

It seems that most (young) recruiters these days rely primarily on Linkedin as a sourcing tool. But that's not where the best talent is found.

The Hack to finding talent is to truly learn the recruiting process. That is to say, can you identify, assess, and ATTRACT decent people on your own?

Lara Logan may well be right that the center or center-left is more represented than conservatives in the media.

At the same time, consider:

-Lara Logan was the correspondent on 60 Minutes's famously flawed Benghazi story that aired in October of 2013. Logan and 60 Minutes (a CBS program) gave national exposure to a story that the Obama administration likely would have wanted not to be covered.

-That piece of shoddy journalism had immediate and significant (if short-lived) political consequences: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/60-mi....

> Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.) and other Republican lawmakers referred to it repeatedly during a Wednesday news conference. Graham said he would block confirmation of all of President Obama’s nominees, including Jeh Johnson as homeland security secretary and Janet L. Yellen as head of the Federal Reserve, until the administration allowed government witnesses to the attack to appear before Congress.

-Lara Logan sharply criticized the Obama administration a year prior to that report airing: (http://www77.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/10/10/cbs_lara...). It's certainly unusual for a journalist (in the pre-Trump era) to say "I can't stand that there is a major lie being propagated" about a president or their administration.

-In September 2004 (in the lead-up to the election) CBS's Dan Rather (an anchor for 40 years) also reported a shoddy story on President Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam era. By June 2006, Dan Rather had been forced out of CBS. Logan was put on leave at CBS, but did not leave CBS until 2018. Unlike Rather, she was able to exit in a low-key manner (https://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-lara-log...).

-The cynic in me wonders if there was such prevalent liberal bias, how she was allowed to report a story that was embarrassing and damaging to the Obama administration after declaring a personal motivation for doing so. The cynic might wonder how she was kept on the CBS payroll for years after what for others might have been a career-ending mistake.

-A very common complaint on the left is that major media networks like CNN, CBS, and NBC (and even the liberal MSNBC) gave candidate Trump disproportionate coverage during the 2016 election. This was to the point of even airing his empty podium before campaign speeches even began (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trumps-empty-podium-gets-...)

-An even more common complaint on the left is that candidate Clinton's email scandal was covered for months to the detriment of policy (https://www.vox.com/2017/12/7/16747712/study-media-2016-elec...). Mind you, this occurred at media outlets both liberal and conservative.

Hey, the author here :)
Retrochat is my first product ever. It solves a problem where teams lose or don't complete their action items from retrospectives. It happens because many existing tools don't focus on action items as much as they should. Retrochat is supposed to fix it.

Currently, Retrochat is available in Beta. There are some features missing, but they will be added, hopefully, soon.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)
My point is you can't just look at something and not take into account where else it may impact.

Also, we need to get much better at helping the poor.

Community college (at least in Texas) is already pretty damn cheap [0]. Even better, those credits transfer pretty easily to the large universities in the state.

I have no idea what other states look like, but going to community college for the first two years and then finishing at a University is hard to beat from a cost perspective. If you live at home and make $10/hour working at McDonald's this is affordable. More so if you spread the time out over more years.

It may become hotter, but solar declination isn't going to change. Move towards the poles and the sun will have lower elevation, fewer hours of light, and the balance of seasons will change.

How much is enough to matter? Will the net effect be more or less than change from CO2 or temperature? You tell me. We seem to have a lot of unknowns.

She’s saying journalists are becoming activists rather than seekers of facts and corroborating evidence. Today they will cherrypick data and facts to advocate for one side or the other, but because roughly 7 out of 10 journalists are registered Democrats this attitude will favor Democrat/liberal narratives over Repub/Conservative narratives.

One of most hilarious things happening, as others point out is the “fact checks” which should be called “gotcha on technicalities”. No, it wasn’t 200,000 gallons, it was 189,480 gallons, liar! No, unemployment isn’t down to 4.2%, it’s actually expected to be down to 3.9%, you are so wrong!
I didn't miss it. For the vast majority of applications, which are Line Of Business (LOB) applications, performance doesn't really matter. It's good enough.

LOB applications are made to replace humans and they need to be a multiple of times faster than human operations (+ the extra benefits of automation). And the vast majority of them are. And most programmers are working on those applications.

So there's 0 incentive for what you're saying.

The real heavy lifting will be done, as usual, by a handful of people: OS devs, DB devs, game engine devs, runtime devs, etc.

Bitcoin is an attempt to make digital stuff that behaves as much as possible like physical cash. In terms of the way it works, a bank account is very much not the correct analogy. Cash is.

Losing $60,000 in Bitcoin is like losing $60,000 in cash. It’s not exactly a surprise that it can happen, and it’s expected that there will be no real recourse.

I think the trouble is that people still aren’t really thinking of it properly. If this story happened with cash, the first question everybody would be asking would probably be, “Why did you have $60,000 in cash sitting around? What did you think was going to happen?”

Like cash, most people shouldn’t be holding large amounts of Bitcoin themselves. If they want large Bitcoin holdings for whatever reason, they should be held with a trustworthy entity that can properly secure them, like a bank. If they do insist on holding large amounts of Bitcoin directly, they need to understand that it’s like keeping a vault full of cash, and they need to work hard to keep it secure.
