Put your (cable/DSL/fiber) 'modem' [it is a router] in bridge modus and be done with it. Anything would work then. Ubiquity gear (which I use), but also different (more open source) stuff like Turris Omnia, Turris Mox, or a lovely PC Engines APU2.
> Some people would argue that if using Redux, also having local state logic is an anti pattern.

I won't disagree that this is a popular opinion, but there's little practical benefit to storing state that's truly local to a single component (or a very small tree) in Redux just because it's there.

Even the maintainers of Redux maintain that it's perfectly acceptable to use local state - https://redux.js.org/faq/organizing-state#do-i-have-to-put-a...
If China and India went carbon-neutral tomorrow, we wouldn't be racing against the clock to solve the problem. A gradual and organic move to green energy would be enough to avert climate change.

Think You're Discreet Again? Think Again: Data Inference and Privacy
Saying people aren't required is being facetious.

A right is infringed when you have to do something extra to exercise it. Pretending otherwise is giving up a right.
I wish JS made it easier to sandbox itself with existing mechanics - like simply unreferencing a system API. I am looking forward to this.
I believe at least some of the studies mentioned were dealing with rats rather than humans. I didn't read anything from the sourced article that overstepped the bounds of what could be said from the research. It seemed like all the interpretation was being done by the non-scientists.
Enforcing Compile-Time Permission Checking with TypeScript Brands
I thinks today it's more a wiki-styled CMS with block-based documents for DRM & Payment, plus automatic content-proxys. Though, some of the ideas were around with WWW too, like traceback/pingback for back-communications between documents, or builtin editing in early web-browsers. But the world evolved different.
I've wondered why environmental advocacy groups are not more vocal in support of curtailing immigration into the US. If the American lifestyle is more resource intense, wouldn't that be a natural stance to take?
Aha. I sometimes use ES5 defineProperty where you can define get and set functions. I built an ORM using defineProperty. Where changing a value triggers an database update.
But the best way is to avoid globals or only update it at one place.
> Don't confuse that for censorship, or free speech restrictions.

Why do not those "minor" limitations fall under censorship or free speech restriction?
The only reason to blame is that we have this system where people get digital points and use these digital points to buy stuff. Everyone will keep asking, how are we going to have enough digital points to solve this problem!
That would be a good thing for those working on WASM, their work would have had an impact.

The worst thing that can happen is that in 10-15 years from now nobody remembers the WASM fling, and all these man hours go to waste.
Could this very article have been written simply by applying some model to the paper text? I doubt it. Look at it, it's full of quotes from the authors, full of commentary and explaining the context to a lay audience (with a healthy dose of self-promotion from the side of the university).

Although research papers do contain some context (on a more specialized level, and with many references to other papers instead of repeating the idea), they are more about the technical approach, which is less useful for direct use in the popular article.

One goal of popular science writing is to inspire people, to tell us why we should be excited about a topic, to see what's going on in fields distant from ours etc. This is far from "research paper in -> pop sci article out".

TL;DR: Summarizing a research paper is not the same as writing an interesting pop sci article about a research project.
I've upvoted you because you spotlighted a very important issue. In OOP we are supposed to think of a program as little pseudo-isolated programs that somehow work together to fulfill the technical requirements.

This model works where it actually represents the real world: Mostly, in distributed systems.

In other areas, it just leads to overengineered piecemeal crap that is incredibly hard to understand. Where you can get control over what happens, you absolutely should get it. Don't act like your program was a thousand little independent components that have their own mind and lifes. Because it isn't like that, and if it was, there was no way you could actually get in control of these to make them produce a very specific outcome.

So the only reason why many OOP programs sort-of work is because programmers never actually respect the abstractions that they set up by defining so many classes and methods. To get the program to work, one needs to know very precisely what each class does in each cases. In the end OOP is just a terrible farce since there is no rhyme and reason for all these classes. It's needless bureaucracy, and prevents us from structuring programs in a more efficient and maintainable way.
Hangouts Meet, as it's full name suggests, is a compatible upgrade.

And it's a bit of a wierd criticism since Hangouts actually predates Zoom and most of solutions suggested in this thread.
But the discipline to stick to such a solution is difficult. Bending the rules just a little more to spend more money this election cycle is always going to be extremely tempting.

In addition, the situation is a bit better in this regard for small countries, who can just invest elsewhere. If the whole world tried to do this, it's not clear what they could invest in, as what they want to withdraw in 30 years time is actually the services of cooks and nursing staff etc. who must be of working age at that time.
> A family is made up of a man and a women, who support each other in their strengths and interests, and raise children together.
So why not focus on the "together" part instead of trying to force partners into segregated roles?

As you note yourself, stay at home mothers are in a precarious position (and, curiously, enthusiasm among males for traditional motherhood is NOT correlated with enthusiasm for lifelong alimony payments, or for generous government benefits for stay at home single mothers).

And as far as the children are concerned, I don't think even the most conservative advocate of traditional gender roles would argue that they are better off being raised almost exclusively by one parent, and having the other confine themselves to cutting checks.

So the solution, it seems to me, is to build a society that helps BOTH parents to spend time raising their children.
First time that I see that something can be connected to an IPhone. I wonder if you need special privileges from Apple, or there is an API available that can do some data (serial ?) transfer.
While the US does have a problem with climate change denial that goes right to the top, it's making a significant effort despite this, as seen in the per-capita graph on OP's post.
Brigate: Event-Driven Scripting for Kubernetes (JS)
I don't think it's that complicated - if you're going to make rules based on a person's race, then that is a racist rule.

As a relatively poor "white" person, I've put up with a lot of this intimidation.

Are we going to do something different, or the same old thing, just with different actors?
Cutting one third of emissions would be enough to do that?
Generally, yes. About all as racist and trying to take advantage of others.

I read the article, and I liked it.

But I chuckle when the authors says "We have reclaimed that word as our own. We can use it, and white people no longer can"

Maybe this rules apply in polite company? I don't are about polite company. I have been called too many bad names. I can use any word I want - including nigger, when appropriate, like in that story. Sorry to people who don't like that and want to impose me things just because of my looks.

Because growing more taboos words, trying to retract in pocket of self preserving culture while crying cultural appropriation is wrong.

I did that. The author also. I just hope our kids won't have to leave with that, can fix their DNA any way they want (the transgendered, wouldn't you like that too?) and integrate in any way their want once the human race will have taken grown out of these stupidities and realized we are all in the same boat.

DNA doesn't matter much. How people treat you because of your DNA on which you have no control, that matters to me.

Funny thought: I really think we will become capable of altering appearance and DNA way before we grow up to become more accepting to people "not like us" and "minorities".
As a Canadian I already receive money for my kids. Single dad and kids see mom on weekend I get the child benefits as it is called around here as I have the kids more then 60% if the time. If the children are shared equally then we would split the child tax. The amount changes as kids age but for 3 kids I get something like 1370$ a months to help me support those kids. This has improved the quality of my life hugely. It is the difference between I wonder if I can afford rent or food to now that we have rent and food maybe we can afford to go to the local pool. But here is the kicker, in Canada, we have come a long way but, they are sexist towards men and the woman still have the slight advantage. As in the child benefits are automatically given to the mother of the child. It is up to them to use that money for the kids. When my wife and I split up they were paying her but I had the kids. They wanted me to prove I had the kids so I could get the benefits. Luckily my wife and I were cooperative during the divorce so she confirmed with them I have primary custody so the money was switched into my name. But had she not I would of had to go to court and it is a pain. Anyways I get paid for my kids each month. Plus a huge tax break at the end of the year and get most of my income tax back. Last 2 years that has been a 5k tax return. I don’t know what other countries are doing but feel supported here in Canada.
Zoom is interesting to me, because we've been using GoToMeeting pretty exclusively for 8-10 years, and in that time the stability & software quality has kind of cratered.
The reality of the problem is that Western consumption is off the charts, and if the entire world rises to our level we're screwed. The answer for that is not to condemn China and India to remain in poverty; it's to drastically reduce our own consumption to set the standard, and only then put pressure on others to reduce.

While we are emitting more per capita than China, if we tell them to cut their emissions they will - and should - tell us to piss off.

>Renewables scale just fine

An average 3 MW wind turbine will generate about 6 GWh of energy per year. It's estimated that wind farms can produce around 4 MW per square kilometer, so let's go with around 8 GWh per sqkm.

In 2014 the UK used about 302 TWh of electricity (out of a total energy usage of 2249 TWh). To match the 302 TWh of electricity with these wind turbines you'd need wind farms covering 37,750 square kilometers. To cover the UK's total energy usage, you'd need an area greater than the surface area of the UK to be covered in wind farms.

These are back of the envelope calculations, but they do point out the problem rather well.

Why is that a worry? Half of the land on earth is a desert, and 70% of earth is covered by ocean, most of which is also a desert. If we had enough people in rich countries who would want to spend their money on moving to new places, we would already have floating cities and many more desalination plants, and those places simply by growing food for themselves, changing their local climate to a nicer one, and by contributing to science, would solve the climate problems we are going to face.
Criticize none. Per capita CO2 emissions are low in countries where most people are peasant farmers. The average Bangladeshi has a CO2 footprint of 0.5 tons per year. A homeless person in the US has a footprint of 8 tons per year when you account for her share of public infrastructure: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/04/080428120658.h.... Likewise, countries with fertility rates so low they will cease to exist in relatively short order is good for CO2 emissions. But neither state of affairs is a good outcome.

Carbon reduction is not a solution to climate change. (And we will never achieve meaningful reductions in CO2 emissions precisely for that reason.) The only sustainable solution is CO2 recapture. We’ll either discover that technology before whatever the tipping point is, or we’ll cease to exist as a civilization before we discover the technology.

Last I checked Zoom avoids using WebRTC in favor of using media over websockets. This should obviate a lot of the reliability problems with enterprise networks that you would normally need to solve with STUN/TURN/ICE.

I think the other thing they do is decrease the image quality when multiple people are simultaneously connected. This is a nice hack since you don't really notice the difference, and users blame bad images on the network not the product.

The biggest challenge to their business IMO is if/when WebRTC becomes stable between all browsers. There are still many kinks that need to be worked out. Everything falls apart in the P2P version when you have more than like 5 people connected as the amount of information that needs to be transferred across the network scales exponentially.[0] So you need to add a gateway and connect everyone over a single pipe.

I did this deliberately. Tried to unsubscribe from the Times newspaper (digitally only) in the UK.

- Unsubscribing was phone only
- Limited operating hours
- Long telephone queues

And then they told me they would have to charge the next three months subscription, and that there was no technical way to remove me early.

Surprisingly, when I cancelled the card and they didn’t get the money my account managed to get turned off somehow!
Looking at the 10 worst emitters and seeing Curaçao as number 2 highlights some of the difficulty of finger-pointing this way. There's an oil refinery on this tiny island. The oil is not only consumed there but it's shipped elsewhere. So the people who benefit are not the ones that create the emissions.

The world collectively has the materials and technologies and labour potential to get 100% of its electricity from hydro, wind, solar, and nuclear. The barriers to do so are artificial. We are limited by the systemic, not the physical. So what can be done systemically to push us in that direction more quickly?
Pocket. One-man team for at least the first two years.
Of course there are exceptions, but I'm talking about social programs in aggregate in developed countries. Most of them don't work like social security does in the US. For example, I'm not aware of healthcare working like that in any country.

It's a baseline desirable property. It tells us that, at the very least, neutral networks are capable of approximating any continuous function. This isn't true for linear functions, for example, so we wouldn't want to try and model everything using linear functions.
The question isn't if OOP or FP will win, but what mix of both is best. A lot of old OOP languages have added features that move them more towards FP. Out of the top of my head C# got E.g. extension methods, lambdas and many ways to be less mutable or pass multiple values around. The bit of programming history i was allowed to experience most definitively became more functional.
If all humans were killed climate change would also be a solved problem. Cures that are worse than the disease do exist and are unacceptable.

One central tenet also among environmental advocacy groups is in general that climate change advocacy cannot be used as a tool for oppression with a “we got what we want, fuck everyone else” attitude.
Just one data point: trying Swift + TensorFlow was as easy using Ubuntu Linux as it was for macOS.
Solar is beating wind in new capacity auctions in Germany now, and I expect it will also do so in the UK soon enough. You'll still want some wind for diversity of sources, but solar has higher power/area.

Europe in general will have trouble in a solar-powered future, though. Energy intensive industry will migrate to the cheap energy closer to the equator.
It feels like some tout the "per capita" emissions to encourage their political agenda instead dealing with climate change. Maybe same reason why some dismiss geoengineering outright with no consideration or discussion.
Does it mean that you are OK with censorship for an arbitrary length of time, as long as it does not reach whatever your definition of "overused" is? It seems like you are OK with censorship as long as it is done at the right time, with the right length. Right being arbitrary and whatever you personally prefer, i.e. it is censorship in my favor, therefore it is good. Please correct me if I am wrong, but to me it reads as: "as long as it is in my favor".
We certainly COULD but I wouldn't.

By having Amex between me and a whole host of recurring-billing vendors, I have a kind of firewall. Amex is on my side reflexively if there's some kind of disagreement or dispute, and will reverse the charge.

If it were my debit card in play, or bank-to-bank transfer, the money would actually be GONE until I was able to convince the merchant, or the merchant's bank, to give it back.
> I've wondered why environmental advocacy groups are not more vocal in support of curtailing immigration into the US. If the American lifestyle is more resource intense, wouldn't that be a natural stance to take?

No, I mean, not unless you are talking about the kind of environmental groups that exist only in the propaganda of anti-environmental groups, that also campaign against economic development per se, since immigration to the US is isomorphic to economic development in this regard.
At the pro level, I think I agree with you too. That is different enough from the amateur scene that it deserves its own ethical analysis.

Keeping salaries secret is exactly the same as giving candy to a child and saying "Don't tell anyone about this".

In both cases, the person giving the pay/candy has something to gain if it stays secret and the person on receiving end is being manipulated.

Having used Zoom for several remote projects, I really do love it. It’s reliable, great image quality for sharing screens (which was necessary for us), and had crystal clear audio. Zoom is great, giving customers access to an enterprise grade software solution for video conferencing at a low price.

There’s several of what appear to be anti-WebEx posts around here, and it makes me question who have actually used it in its intended setup. The university I’m at recently redid a lot of the rooms, and created several so-called presentation zones that are outfitted with WebEx equipment. Multi-monitor presentation (for the speaker and audience), multi-view camera’s that track and focus on the current speaker/audience member, and an audio system who’s microphone can pick up sound from pretty much anywhere in the room and doesn’t feedback loop on itself. To me that’s the difference when you go with a Cisco solution. Other vendors you get a utility or software, Cisco gets you into an ecosystem of well integrated tools, both software and hardware. Whether or not you actually need them is up to you.
Virtual Kubelet: allows Kubernetes nodes to be backed by VK providers
Ha, you're correct! And now I'm unable to edit.
I wonder the same thing. I suspect the age of the field plays a role. While theoretical computer science is about 200 years old practical computers only exist for 70 years and are widespread for about 40 years. Many professors teaching computer science today couldn't study computer science back in their days because it simply wasn't offered.

This has wide reaching effects, one of the more obvious ones being that 20 year old knowledge seems ancient to most.
Why force it though? Shouldn't it be up to the people whether they want to save it or not? In Eastern Europe this is a concern because many people have lived through their savings evaporating. What's to say that something similar doesn't happen in the future?

Furthermore, how would you even implement it? Do young people right now have to pay for the upkeep of the old generation right now and will then have to additionally pay for their own retirement fund? It seems to me that somebody's going to get screwed here.

Pensions are not sustainable. Current mandatory CPP contribution in Canada seems like that. It's a promise that government makes that we contribute now which is taken to cover the current senior citizens. What if there isn't enough working force when we get older? How would the government keep the promise?
>Therefore your example is characterized by an identical geometric series to the model I used in my previous comment.

I am not sure what you mean here. You can calculate the sum of the time series, but you can't calculate Achilles' final position, which is the question at issue. The question remains: if it's possible in general to traverse an infinite sequence of steps in space, why is it not possible to traverse the one that I specified? "Solving" Zeno's paradox by admitting the possibility of traversing an infinite series of points in space or time seems to give rise to paradoxes just as deep as the originals.

> The time required to complete the infinite series of half steps converges, because (again, with the definition of a metric) the time required to complete each individual step decreases commensurate with the change in distance.

Yes, that was Aristotle's observation and a key part of his proposed solution to the paradox. The problem is that this explains why it's possible to sum the series, not why it's possible to traverse it. You seem to be taking the position that any series that cannot be summed cannot be traversed. But why should that be so?
