This skepticism is important. What is the timeline of these changes in temperature? Can we compare it to the changes 100 years ago? 500 years ago? 1000 years ago? 10,000 years ago?

Are we accounting for positioning and skewing of the sun (on it's natural cycle)?

So much more goes into temperature regulation than simply "carbon emissions", if we were to realistically tackle an environmental disaster I would point to the plastic waste in the ocean and the fish farms.
No, because if it is mandated by law then it will need to be available region locked in app stores for China.

So with this stance (ie. against "side-loading" - what a crappy term) not only you make things worse for everyone (not being able to use their own devices as they see fit) even though they wouldn't be visiting China, you also validate region locking (another shitty practice that has no place in a global internet and only serves whoever wants to divide people) including any tech necessary for it (and thus monetary incentives for whoever implements it) and not solve the issue at hand (people being forced to install malware) since it can be done just as easily through normal routes.

No, if you do not want such stuff then speak against it and do not put yourself in a position to be affected by it (do not visit China, use burner phones, whatever).
No, your mandate is to advance your career, not solve problems. If you’re rewarded for resume padding more than problem solving then keep resume padding.
Would you mind posting a picture? My lawn is this delightful combination of grasses and local weeds that is simultaneously uncomfortable to walk on, and also tremendously unaesthetic no matter what I seem to do. Wouldn't mind power-raking it up and putting down something better one of these years, but don't want to just do something conventional if there's a truly better option.

That's a good question.

- Svelte is faster to execute than React

- Svelte is easier to learn
I'm not saying OP made a stellar point, but "drivel" is an unnecessarily aggressive descriptor here. Try to assume good faith and draw out an argument that elevates the overall discussion. You're raising a worthwhile concern. Raise it in a way that invites, rather than shuts down discussion.
Will this mean that Akka can support true multitasking like Erlang? If so, that sounds amazing. Being able to write blocking code in actors is such a big win.

I recently added a load of "bee-friendly" high nectar plants to my garden. Until recently we thought it had been unsuccessful, and wrote it off as a failed experiment. Fast forward a couple of weeks and we suddenly couldn't walk a few meters without spotting at least 7 or 8 bees of various different species (both hive and solitary) buzzing around the place. It's been wonderful, and I've recommended all my friends who are into gardening to try it out. We've also had some new insects and bird species move in, along with a family of hedgehogs!

If anyone else would like to outfit their garden with some more bee friendly plants, we've had great luck with the following:-

-Himalayan balsam
-Yellow water iris
-Gladioli
-Common comfrey (Makes great fertilizer, and attracts some unique species)
-Blackberry
-Hedge bindweed
-Honeysuckle (Smells amazing!)
-Sweet pea
-Foxglove
-Rhododendron
-Lavender
-Bluebells (Good food source for early spring)
-Clovers (Bees really have really taken a liking to these)
-Greater knapweed (Super hardy)
-Hellebore (Late flowerer, so great to keep them running over winter!)
-Viper's bugloss
-Wood anemone

Most of these are common meadow plants that take little to no effort other than seeding them. Throw them down, cover with grass trimmings, mulch or compost and you're ready to go. This particular list is ideal for a mild, wet climate like the UK. Feel free to modify it depending on your wants and needs!
It takes something like 30 minutes to walk from one end of Venice to the other, so alternate modes of transport are not necessary (handicapped accessibility is an issue, though).
Not really a fan. I have seen a few great examples, but most people just seem to think that it means they can stop mowing their lawn and let the property look abandoned.

I guess define "different motor" - both the Model 3 and Model S/X motors were designed in-house by Tesla. It's not like they're ordering Model 3 motors from some Chinese ODM that makes the same motor for Tesla and Toyota and GM and Nissan and insert company.

The Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro both have a V8. They both consider their motors differentiators due to the specifics of THEIR V8 implementation. Just because other companies might be using the same basic design principles doesn't mean that their specific implementation of that design isn't a differentiator.
There's something similar in the Seattle/Victoria area.

I wrote a MySQL/python sandwich ordering app 20 years ago. It's still in use- when they moved to a new site, they had to do a data update. I offered to rewrite using modern web tech but they said they were happy with it as it because it was boring and simple and got the job done.
Interesting, I'm so far outside the target market for this I was very skeptical initially. But as you point out, I'm sure there are many communities that would make heavy use of this.
On the last ESTA form I saw, they were asking not for all, but specific accounts. Apart from fb and Twitter there was also github, but I don’t remember seeing mastedon for example. Did I miss something?
Julia (a language focused on science/math) does it partially. For example in the editor or REPL you can just type \sqrt [tab] \alpha [tab] and it will generate √α which is valid code. Most math symbols in unicode are supported and overloadable. And you can also write matrix like a table, such as

[1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9].

And you can transform Julia expressions to LaTeX:

https://github.com/korsbo/Latexify.jl

But even they didn't go as far as being able to parse full LaTeX expressions (though you technically could with reader macros plus editor support).
You should bear the cost of whether you keep your A/C at 68° or 72°, whether you heat your house with baseboard heaters or central air, whether you insulate your house so it's easy to keep it at whatever temperature you care to, whether you live in a 4000sq detached house or a 500sq apartment, whether you run a modern refrigerator or something that fell off a truck in the 50s.

Paying for your electricity helps align incentives so that you can make the trade-off of investing to lower usage vs. just buying the power you want at market rate... and bearing that cost means you have the freedom to make that trade-off rather than it being made for you.

Does Signal prevent this or not?

If the malware roots the device, probably not, but if it takes read.sms permissions, it should only get ciphertext. if it replaces the main SMS messenger, then it breaks, but you'd know.

I just did a rough threat model on this exact scenario and worked with the assumption that Signal's MasterSecret covered it in the sms DB - but haven't done a thorough code review yet.

I knew someone that used the vidangel service, but I don't really get it. If you remove the cursing/sex/violence from much of the works that use them, does it not remove context that is necessary? You mention ASoIaF, which is littered with all three right? How can you consume a "patched" version and still retain the themes and messages of these works?

If you don't want to be exposed to these things, why not just only consume content that does not have them in the first place?
Unpopular opinion time: spectrum is a limited resource. We shouldn't waste it on efficient analog technologies like conventional commercial and amateur radio. We've already ceased conventional broadcasts: that's a step in the right direction, but there's more to do. The entire RF spectrum should be devoted to LTE-like efficient, packetized, and secure communication. I'd make small exceptions for things like radio astronomy, but I don't think we should be squandering prime regions of the EM frequency space just to support transceivers that Marconi would have recognized.

Does a city built in a lagoon with canals for streets have a place in the future world of rising seas? Maybe it's a blessing that residents are leaving because there are too many tourists.

It is sad, but I don't think anyone is taking climate change seriously enough to reverse it... so I don't see any outcome other than the Venice of today becoming the Atlantis of tomorrow.
We should probably all just give up, eh?
I was just mentioning that I haven't really given Kobo a shot... so I could be in the dark and Kobo is better.

But I hear enough through the woodwork that I have been under the impression using Kobo would be trading off annoyances with some things better & some worse. Mostly what I hear is Kobo often has some hardware advantages but has some different software annoyances.

What format the book uses is a very minor concern to most of us who just read the books. Epub vs Mobi vs KF8 or whatever has no impact on me 99% of the time. The only time it'd really matter is hopping around between platforms and having to convert stuff.

If Kobo started having a huge advantage I'd be more likely to buy a Kobo and keep my Amazon library with Amazon and start buying Kobo books there. I wouldn't go on a big project to convert all my Amazon bought books to a Kobo compatible format. Cause once done I wouldn't actually need/want to re-read all those books on the Kobo.
This kind of stuff just makes me feel worse in the end. I try out all this cool stuff in my free time then I'm stuck doing monotonous work with same tools at work. Or I learn something cool and just never get a chance to apply it. I feel like what's the point beyond satisfying some curiosity.

The ESTA will be a bit different, but the exact question from the US visa application is:

7. Public-facing social media platforms and identifiers/handles used during the last five years. This includes any websites or applications the applicant has used to create or share content (photos, videos, status updates, etc.) as part of a public profile.

I was advised by my lawyer that this covers Reddit and HN, and Facebook/Instagram (if I had any of those which I don't any more).

The lawyer didn't mention github however, but someone can search my name and find that in 1 click anyway, that's hardly private information.

You said it in your reply: all the streets emptying onto a single artery.

The fears of gangs etc that you cite are the common defenses of why people left specific inner cities in the 60s, but small towns (like Apex, in the source article) don’t have that problem and they do have the grids.

The main issue affecting safety is simply traffic speed and street width. It’s quite easy to design a safe street for children by making it hard for cars to go fast, the best example of this being the Dutch “voonerf,” (https://youtu.be/bSBdshn2tUM). You can accomplish the same thing with more spread out garden style homes as well.

Airports in Japan to introduce facial recognition for foreign visitors
I've started and failed to complete this book many times. Yet I've loved what I read. There are many who believe this is the greatest novel of all time.
"bubble" has a few meanings, or interpretations, and one of them is definitely, in this context, "a technology becomes so popular it gets used for things it probably shouldn't have been used for".

I think the main reason why it gets used for things it shouldn't be used for is that engineers get all enthusiastic about using it, and look for a job that it can be used for. This is especially true when the tech in question is becoming a de-facto requirement in the industry and everyone needs to know how to use it to succeed at their next interview.

Hence the need for this presentation, which wouldn't be needed (or popular) if there weren't so many damn bubbles.
Completely agree. What they really need is to rip out a bunch of those old buildings so they make room for a good interstate highway with a cloverleaf exit near San Marcos. That would really modernize the city.

There is a fantastic talk with Milton Friedman about this argument that I recommend looking up.

A typical Engineering mindset conceptualizes the problem as if it were physics, where you see current output and stock and calculates the end result, but thats not how humans interact with each other: we are execute ingenuity at every step changing the basic formula again and again. If the former were true, you would have seen oil prices increase steadily over time, as oil absolutely runs out (no new one is produced), but you can see thats not what happens, it's even today way cheaper that it was decades ago. If it were starting to run out, the prices would shoot up and alternatives would become so appealing that they would be developed and used.

Hopefully the concept is clear, the TLDR is don't use physics to explain economics.
Late to the party, but someone at the office shared https://storage.googleapis.com/pub-tools-public-publication-... , which reminded me of this question. You're right that the system consuming data from the lake is taking on debt by building a system around what is by design an unstable signal. The consumer is also attaching technical debt (in the form of visibility debt) to the producer, since changes to the data fed into the lake now have an undeclared consumer that may break if the data format or cadence changes in ways that seem innocuous to the data originator. At the major tech company where I work, this would result in someone on the team responsible for the data originator getting paged.

I would recommend reading the paper linked to above and sharing it with teams that are taking the approach you describe.

> But I also don't see why they couldn't have submitted a PR to react/angular/ember/meteor/vue.

I see this sentiment a lot in open source. When I made Rollup — which is now used to build the most popular libraries in the JavaScript ecosystem, including some you just mentioned! — people asked why I didn't just submit a PR to webpack?

I understand why people ask that. But it just doesn't work like that. Very often, to take a step forward, you can't simply make incremental changes to an existing project — you need to create new foundations altogether. When Svelte 1 came out in 2016 I was already responsible for a different framework (Ractive), and it wasn't possible to make the changes I wanted there. If you can't do what you need to do by making a PR to your own project, then imagining that you can do it in a PR to someone else's is a fantasy.

And it's not simply about adding some extra compiler smarts to existing frameworks. The whole point of Svelte 3 is to rethink the developer experience. It has radical opinions about how we should be building apps, which I've written about in https://svelte.dev/blog/svelte-3-rethinking-reactivity and https://svelte.dev/blog/write-less-code.

So many words. So few ideas.
You're right, "drivel" was unwarranted. I have deleted that.
Interesting idea and, at a glance, it looks pretty well thought out. It was obviously inspired by Agile/Scrum and the software development process. I like the checklists and noticed it has a couple retrospective point, which I think is a critical part of Agile development.

A couple things I'd be interested in for follow-up:

- How does it go in practice with an actual project? Any real world examples or case studies?

- Any practices introduced here that could be carried back into the scrum / software development world?

No you have it backwards - the address space is always allocated. The physical memory is not allocated (we say committed) until it is used.

But allocating the address space even if it is not committed still consumes finite resources and still limits the number of threads you can create.
>maybe that's why he said: > Not only a liability, but a liability among other things.

It was my mistake then and I misinterpreted "among other things" to mean : "Code is not just a liability but it's a liability among the other things I just listed like limited resources and limited brainpower" instead of "Code is a liability among other things I won't say explicitly like code also being an asset".

Because I interepreted it the 1st way, I wanted to emphasize the opposite view: that limited brainpower is why code can be an asset to relieve humans from mundane boring calculations to redirect that precious brainpower to higher level creative thinking. Limited resources also motivates new code that can be an asset to expand those resources.

> So I cannot imagine there is a current lack of frequencies for aviation in France (or anywhere in Europe).

This isn't about voice / ATC, but rather about up/downlinks for drones and such. From the background on the proposal:

> The decisions of previous conferences have introduced some restrictions to the use and have imposed constraints on the development of aeronautical mobile applications within some existing mobile allocations traditionally used by the aeronautical mobile applications.

> At the same time, the number of manned and unmanned aircraft equipped with sensors has grown significantly in the past 20 years together with the need of bidirectional low to high data rate communications. Aeronautical applications like fire surveillance, border surveillance, air quality and environment monitoring, traffic monitoring, disaster monitoring, terrain modelling, imagery (visible, infrared, radar, meteo), video monitoring require non-safety communications between various types of aeronautical platforms.

> Consequently the need of non-safety data communications between various types of aeronautical platforms increases and so the need for new frequency bands.
