> Recycling has become such a lazy way of dealing with a bit more convenience.

It's not necessarily that simple. With glass bottle reuse vs. plastic recycling, for example, it's not necessarily clear which ends up being most efficient. The glass containers can be reused, but not that many times on average, and it takes sufficiently more energy to produce one vs. the energy required to recycle a plastic bottle.

> Single use plastics and plastic packaging should be banned or at least be taxed accordingly for subsequent processing.

I'd go further and say we ought to tax all packaging based on the cost of cleanup, be that reuse, recycling, or other measures.

As an example of a measure that works reasonably well (but where I think the rates still ought to rise further to reflect the environmental costs in full) is bottle return schemes like the one in Norway that starts by adding a tax to drinks containers, and then adds in an incentive to recycle by deducting from the tax based on the proportion of containers recycled via approved schemes.

It doesn't go far enough in encouraging less packaging, and that specific scheme only covers drinks containers, but the overall principle of taxing based on an assumption that the packaging will not be treated properly and that we need to penalize that, and then reducing the tax bill if you can prove otherwise, is good.

> the core issue was being able to have semantic import versioning,

Well, the actual core issue was merely being able to use differing major releases as part of the same build, something that dep doesn't itself allow. SIV is a further tweak that's only really needed to address a common wart, namely re-exporting elements of the versioned API from one's imports without semantically-versioning them accurately in the process. What you really need is good semantic re-export versioning, which is a rather minimal subset of SIV!

I'm sure there's lots of ways it could happen. Off the top of my head - you can't just snap your fingers and start selling power, you need to build the reactors, scale out infrastructure, etc etc. There's huge expenditure involved. If you have a giant pile of money in the bank, earning interest, it might not be worth your while to spend it on that.

Another point - how much do you charge for the power? If your goal is to get people to switch, the answer is "as little as you can". If your goal is to make money, the answer is "as much as you can".
I think it's disingenouous to call this a solved problem. Regardless of their appearance, very few projects actually follow this consistently, because it's a lot of work and almost impossible to be sure.

I don't think it really 'breaks down', it's just a mildly wanky analogy and he explains what the design philosophy of Rails is without relying on the reader's familiarity with sushi ordering.

But that's just me - being told to be happy by a web framework gets me like, right here, in the resentful Slavic soul.
Current major source countries of immigrants (Mexico, Vietnam, China, Turkey, etc) are going through steep birth rate drops. The vast majority of countries with birth rates high enough to maintain their own population while allowing for waves of immigrants large enough to sustain other countries are in Africa. And they're dropping.

Assuming the rates keep going as they are, in about 50 years, we'll be down to about 10 countries that will have enough people to migrate to other countries to support their economic ponzi schemes/social security, and the world will just be too big and full of old folks to get by with so few immigrants. Before we get to that point, we need to start working out economic systems that don't rely on constant growth to be sustainable.

What you were taught in college 15 years ago is still correct. Junk DNA does not have “a very important function”. The “subsequent discoveries” were, by and large, just a failure in science communication. Junk DNA is still non-functional, very little has changed. We know this because it’s not preserved evolutionarily. By contrast, “important” DNA is preserved from mutation (this is called “negative” or “purifying” selection) because mutating it is almost always bad for the individual. What has changed is twofold:

* We have a better handle on what constitutes noncoding, non-junk DNA. The proportion of DNA thus labelled has grown slightly (but only slightly!). We were always aware of its existence but we previously couldn’t study it easily. There are very good reasons to think that the proportion won’t grow much further. The rest is still junk DNA.

* We know more about how new genetic function can evolve using the raw genetic material in junk DNA, and how junk DNA might interfere with the proper function of cells, in particular in the presence of pathogens. But, again, the principle of this was already known (or, partially, at least strongly suspected) decades ago. It was just not studied, and we’re now able to study it better.

But our fundamental understanding of junk DNA hasn’t changed.
The example AWK script will build an array of every unique line of text in the file.

If the file is large, and mostly unique, then assume that a substantial portion of the file will be loaded into memory.

If this is larger than the amount of ram, then portions of the active array will be paged to the swap space, then will thrash the drive as each new line is read forcing a complete rescan of the array.

This is very handy for files that fit in available ram (and zram may help greatly), but it does not scale.

you do realize that per capita measurements benefit China, and a few other countries, immensely because a good portion of their population does not participate in their new economy.

So in China it is considered less than 60% live in urban areas whereas in the US that number is just over 80%. So a better method of impact determination would be, how much is that portion contributing to the pollution of the country.

So always question per capita measurements with large segments of the population in a country don't truly participate.

If Americans don't want to live in a police state, then they should demand that the behaviour of their police changes. That police officers are held accountable, and are better trained to perform their job in the interest of the people, rather than merely their own interest or that of the government.

If you have control over your police, then please exercise it.

I think the problem that's holding Americans back, also evidenced in this discussion here, is that they've learned to accept this hostile relationship with the police as normal. It's not. It's harmful, and should be unacceptable.

> So is it possible that maybe we're not the jackbooted thugocratic police state that we're portrayed to be?

I certainly hope so. I've never been to the US; I'm just going by what Americans themselves are telling me about their country. And some of the things they're saying is that you should fear the police, not talk to the police, etc. It's not a single person claiming this; I hear this every single time this topic comes up. So I'm inclined to take it as true.

Reprocessing made sense in an environment in which nuclear was winning and uranium was becoming scarce. In that environment, it could make sense to reprocess to extend fuel reserves.

But we do not live in that world. Uranium supplies are plentiful. It's cheap and simple to just store spent fuel in dry casks and put off worrying about if it will ever be reprocessed. Reprocessing is a net economic loss, in France and elsewhere.
Google doesn't "own" the project in any meaningful sense. That was Russ' entire point of this post. Could Google assert control if they wanted to? I guess. But that's no unique to just Go. Remember the XFree86 drama, for example? Probably a number of other examples to be found.

The issue here seems to be primarily one of trust. I can relate to that, as I don't like Google either, and actually mostly avoided Go for exactly that reason until I got hired as a Go developer a few years ago. I found that the Go project in particular is developed and managed in a fairly reasonable way; certainly much better than some other popular Google projects such as Android (the open parts of it anyway) or Chromium.

In other words, I think you should give them a chance, rather than immediately go "corporate Google overlords".

>There are certainly senses in which Go is Google's language: it was created at Google, Google continues to fund most of the development, and a few people at Google are the final deciders about the language itself. But I disagree with the “not ours:” I think Go is also the Go community's language.

Well, not if people in the Go community can't be promoted to be among "the final deciders about the language itself" without also being hired by Google.

Sure, the community is 1 million people. Nobody expects 1 million people to vote for Go's design and features.

But each language community develops prominent members, which for Go can be outside of Google too. E.g. like JS had Resig and Askenash, or Java had the various Java Apache project leads, Yoda time, etc people, or like Python has Kenneth Reitz, Armin Ronacher, the Twisted/Tornado guys and co. And some major projects, modules, etc, eventually emerge.

If those people can't get their (widely adopted by many in the community) proposals and changes into the language, and don't get the chance to be core team, them it's not a community language.

What makes you think scientists have no proof? The whole reason we know junk DNA has no important function for cell biology is that there’s good evidence that says so.
