As a web/game developer, you forgot to include the OS and the drivers in the lines of code involved in executing the stuff you are writing.

The Linux kernel was 15M lines in 2013 [1], more than half of that was drivers. Windows XP was apparently 45M lines, the 2009 Debian distribution 300M lines [2].

So you're into millions of lines just to execute "Hello world" on a PC.

Simple control systems generally don't use an OS. E.g. Arduino is as simple as it gets, here [3] is a 30-LOC example snippet for a HTTP client. But if you dig down into the included libraries (most of it is on GitHub) you'll find that there's (quick estimate) 10-20k lines of code involved in executing those 30 lines. And you haven't actually _done_ anything yet, that's just the infrastructure to allow C code to interact with the hardware with a few standard libraries for math and IO.

Modern cars are complex enough to have OSes [4], with the corresponding code complexities.

In short, web developers vastly underestimate the code complexity of interacting with hardware in a low-level language because it's not something they deal with. The umpteen million lines of OS kernel and device drives are done by someone else, and for people who just _use_ a PC it (mostly) "just works", to the extent that even advanced users aren't aware of the complexity behind it.

Not dismissing the danger to bats in general, as they do provide more good services to nature than bad, but let's not forget, that in numbers, bats comprise more than 1/4 of all mammals. Losing a few, while likely (hopefully) preventable, is not a real dent in their population like it would be with eagles or other birds with smaller populations.
> I disagree. Assumptions made in the video are realistic.

Nope, they're the opposite of realistic because they disagree with reality.

> You kinda need battery storage for your solar/wind.

You kinda don't. Here in Scotland, we've gone from around 15% renewables in 2007 to 70% in 2017. We closed our last coal station in 2016. Guess how many battery storage facilities we have? None. There are plans to build one in the near future. And yet we have a perfectly fine and consistent electricity supply. When reality disagrees with your theory, it's your theory that's wrong.

The other obvious renewable in California would be tidal.

Oh, and you can get rid of all your hydro when you no longer have any need for water. I swear sometimes people forget what dams are actually used for.

One curiosity on your comment I noticed:

You claim 'working with teenagers over the last couple of decades' while making the delineation of 'her generation of 47-year olds'.

Even if you began working with teens at 20, 'decades' would put you in your 40's as well? If that is the case, why try and separate your self from the same demographic?

— Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
On a millennium scale level an increase in global temperatures has been occurring for about 15,000 years (give or take), since the start of the last interglacial. On a century scale level temperatures have been increasing for about 150 years, since the end of the Little Ice Age. On a decadal level temperatures have been increasing since the great "Global Cooling" scare of the 1970s.

So it should be no surprise, then, that right now temps may be a bit on the warm side, comparatively speaking. This situation might be quite inconvenient for us, though.

I would got so far to say that you're not even dealing with checklists anymore. Almost all my checklist items are yes/no. Is X done? Yes/No. Is a value between Y-Z? Yes/No. Checklists are not meant for vague questions.

Questions that irrelevant should be removed from the checklist. When things are found that have been missed, they should be added.

When used properly they do remove stress and free up mental space. If you travel a lot, making a checklist of what to pack makes it so much easier to leave the house.

And why not? You could, you know, lift a finger and go check out for yourself the relevant local news reports about the current and past situation, but you have to go back a few years now to see how it all actually got started.

And pretty much all of coastal Louisiana is naturally subsiding (sinking) anyway. (The same is true for Texas, BTW, including much of its interior.) Flood control projects built on the Mississippi River over the past century have made the problem far more readily apparent today than it would otherwise be.

These are more lies and half-truths, for the most part. Wind and solar as always quoted on a "nameplate" basis - how much power they can theoretically produce under ideal conditions. But most don't produce anywhere near that, on average, and I suspect that many can't even make their "nameplate" promises either. Add in the fact that they will have to have more traditional power plants as backup for when they fail to produce, and actual costs are easily a multiple of what is currently being quoted, perhaps a relatively high multiple at that.

An interesting little "gotcha" to this (unless I'm mistaken, please correct if so) is that imported energy is not taken into account. The UK recently ran 2 weeks "without using coal" [1], but this completely ignored any imported energy which did [2].

So, this is great - provided we don't simply pass the buck (like by sending all of our plastics to Asia).

That's a good point, my observation is limited to constructive proofs. Proofs by contradiction or enumeration might not offer any great insight, unless one can prove that there exists no better proof, in which case, the insight is that no great understanding is to be had. Godel's Incompleteness Theorem teaches us that sometimes things are true simply because they are not false. I don't think that contradicts my point, it just limits its scope.

> People are smart enough to write down their address.

Not usually.

In this scenario, given its use for display on a user page, it may make sense.

For most other cases, this doesn't pan out. Here in the US, for example, the general public has little sense of how to properly write addresses with floor, apartment, unit, or suite numbers. Folks routinely put things in the wrong order or use the wrong symbol or abbreviation. Others make up nonsense and genuinely think what they have is correct. Developers and geeks aren't immune; I've seen forms that reflect an inadequate understanding of addresses.
I've browsed both. They are filled with hate. In fact, I just took a look on Gab's public explore page:

within a couple of scrolls found a rant about "Corey Booker's tranny abortions", and a reference to a "lispy Mexican faggot". Most other posts are either pro-Trump memes or anti-immigration rants, and there are plenty of those on Facebook and Twitter.

I get it: the sales pitch here is that you come to Gab to hear interesting thoughts are are censored by mainstream sites. But I'm not seeing a single post that made me stop and think about anything. It's mindless, hateful garbage. Even if you disagree with that and don't think it's a "bad" community I still question what would ever make it an interesting or worthwhile community. Because I'm seeing nothing.

My example of how crazy things are nowadays.

Long ago, I designed and developed a medical computer for a well-known manufacturer. If you walked into any eye doctor or surgeon today and mentioned its name, they would know what it is.

I started my own company but over the past five years, I would consistently see three former co-workers from that same company. I told them I was thinking of selling out and--jokingly--said I would re-apply for my old job. The response was always positive. "You should!", they'd say, "Put me down as a reference!".

Last October, I sold out. Last January, I ran into one of those co-workers. He's now a project manager. The other two co-workers were actually my bosses, one of whom is now a "Fellow". "There's an opening," he said, "Come apply at put me down as a reference."

So I did. Never heard anything back. I called my friend who talked to the "Fellow". That guy gave me the email of the headhunter who was now in charge of all hiring and told me to mention all three of their names. The headhunter replied and told me the job was, essentially, working on the same product I designed and would I be interested in working on a new version of that.

So I sent my resume which shows that I've been working on almost the exact same thing and that I had worked for that company for seven years on that exact same product and have three high level managers and former bosses who all encouraged me to apply for that job.

Never heard from him.

My former boss, who was the Director of Engineering and is now a "Fellow" is actually now retired and only works there part-time. He said he has no say into how they do things now and all hiring is done through the headhunter. The project manager is in a different department now so they don't care what he thinks. The other engineering manager also retired and, apparently, no one cares about his thoughts either.
My biggest question is why on earth did they give you 25 Tb of TSV genetic data? :-)

I'm not sure what your sample was but seems like it would have been better to use one of the special binary file formats for genetic data. You wrote SNP chips, But in order to get to 25 Tb I assume there must be imputed calls, so it seems like a BGEN might have been a lot easier.

This is speculation of course, I'm not sure exactly what your situation was.
That's a good point, though I do think that it's not that big of a mental hurdle. Consider knitting, for example.

I don't doubt that some portion of the iPhone user base really loves the 4.7" iPhone, but I think the author's premise is based on the assumption that the device that people use is the device that people love/want. Note that if this assumption is incorrect, it could be wrong in either direction: there may be a lot of people who are using 5.5" devices and would prefer a 4.7" device, but there could easily be more people who own/use a 4.7" device and would prefer a 5.5" device and simply haven't upgraded yet.

Create an internal table of contents on Medium
In my experience this is very true upon simply becoming the kind of person who is open to listening to others. The vast majority of people you've run into have had huge difficulties in life, or are affected by people close to them who have huge difficulties in their lives.

People tell me I'm a wonderful listener due to my lack of judgement on their problems (more than once, people, including my therapist, tell me I'd make a great therapist), but really I've internalized the idea that everyone is living a life less than what they hoped their life would be to various extents and that there is also a near infinite combination of ways to achieve this effect such that no one can be dismissed for their misery in any respect without also dismissing the "legitimate" misery of a wide swath of people.

When I come across people who are willing to dismiss others' concerns, either by dismissing them as oversensitive, or dismissing them as evil, I wonder if they've internalized this logic too. And if they have, what their experiences are to cause them to conclude that dismissal is the reasonable choice.
