It's similar to the way fixing a leaking pipe doesn't help with electricity. Electrification alone doesn't solve every problem.

Elon Musk seems to be taking on all of the cited problems, though. Electrification helps with emissions. Autonomy helps with parking spaces. Boring Company helps with traffic. If he's successful, we'll be whizzing around in silent and emissions-free self-driving Tesla pods that use Boring Co tunnels to travel at ridiculously fast speed. Sounds cool.
For anyone interested in the AGC itself I can recommend the "ultimative Apollo guidance computer talk"

This is not a response to Elon Musk, but to the UK's government, and in particular its report "The Road to Zero" (meaning zero CO2 emissions), which this report claims relies too much on the conversion of individual cars to EV to achieve its goals.
Love countries who acknowledge and at least attempt to tackle such issues.
I have a service with Aussie broadband, and I'm participating in the IPv6 beta. It's being activity worked on. The staff are highly communicative with those in the beta. It's been great so far.
I do not contest that this is a highly dangerous arrangement. However, I do think that the original design was safe and that there was no open space at all nearby. If I were right, this is actually a dangerous situation created by UX in the sense UX is more related to marketing than the more traditional concepts of human factors and usability had been. "What may we do with this space in those markets? Surely you want some convenient space in the central console to drop your things! Why didn't they think of this in the first place?" (A human factors expert, on the other hand, would have told you that there had to be at least some sort of self-closing lid, just like car ashtrays used to have them for decades.)
In microservices the mess is often at the higher architecture level. IMO, startups should not do microservices, not until they can point at one fragment of their product and go "This is 99% isolated from the rest of the application yet costs 90% of performance, extracting this and rewriting this in a more specialized fashion will benefit us"
CG-NAT doesn't help you internally, which is why big US ISPs went to IPv6.

For your own infrastructure, re-using the same addresses over and over, as in a CG-NAT scheme, makes it far easier for mistakes to happen and far harder to diagnose them. Your network becomes a fragile component that your own network engineers are frightened to touch, hurting your ability to compete as a network provider.

What's 10.20.30.40? Your own notes show you use 10.20.30.40 in Sector A of the country for a Cisco router but you also named a different device, a microwave transceiver in Sector B of the country 10.20.30.40 with the NAT supposedly separating the two. So packets supposedly "from" 10.20.30.40 could be the Cisco router playing up again, but they could be that microwave transceiver misbehaving, or they could be CPE leaking a customer's internal addresses into your CG-NAT network. If you try to "solve" this over the network you might end up talking to a "different" 10.20.30.40 than the one causing problems and make things worse.

Once you realise you want IPv6 internally, it's not a huge leap to realise that you might as well at least _offer_ this to customers too.

Yes; don't have a reference available but healthy soil mostly consists of biomass compared to arid land which is mostly sand. The process of returning arid land back to healthy soil involves a lot of carbon capture in the form of dead plants, bacteria, root systems, fungi, etc. I've heard numbers suggestion this can be 70-80% of the mass and it builds up over time to form deep layers.

Another issue is that N2O forms when urine and manure are mixed; which is common with intensive cattle farming. This happens a lot less when cattle is roaming around and instead this helps fertilize the land and stimulates growth; it's actually good for the land. So, compared to growing cattle indoors and feeding them with the wrong food that is typically also produced using intensive farming, there's a big difference.
I still think the article has merit. If we just make more CO2 efficient cars without also curbing their use we might end up with more CO2 being produced due to Jevons paradox[1].

I especially worry about autonomous cars since, that would make taking long trips by car more convenient.

That's because they are kept that way (if not invaded / colonized outright), so that their raw resources can be plundered.

But that doesn't diminish the importance of raw resources, rather the contrary. It just adds the importance of a strong military and being ruthless.
Oh, but it is a wonderful tax income. Around here, only a fraction (about 1/8) of car-related taxes are spent on maintaining the roads.
Most of those are on the Internet Archive.[1] Often in better versions. The Private Snafu cartoons are from some commercial DVD with watermarks. The originals are online from the National Archives, and they're better.

A useful project would be to take the MPEG 2 versions from the Internet Archive, apply modern cleanup, scratch removal, frame alignment, and exposure equalization techniques, and put those up. The MPEG 2 versions have no frame to frame compression, which is good for archival purposes. Cleanup technology has improved since most of those were scanned.

Yes, I see that but it's an unnecessary complication. All I want to do client side is calling Module.func() and GenServer side I wish I could only def func() instead of all those incantations.

Furthermore GenServers mix client side and server side code in the same module. It's very confusing even after years. It's one of the most unpleasant coding experience of the decade for me.

On the other side I'd steal Elixir's pattern matching implementation and add it to every language. It's everywhere in Elixir and IMHO it's its strongest point.
BiaoJie is literally the transliteration of Chinese. So yes, naming it BiaoJie is saying this is explicitly Chinese.

If you found no difference on number frequency, it's the uniform distribution, not normal (a.k.a. gaussian) distribution.

AFAIK uniform distribution means any number is equally likely to be drawn, regardless of distance to your other picks.

Just to check if I got that right: does that mean that playing 333333 and 666666 in a 6 digits lottery had a higher chance of winning that picking 333333 and 333334? If so, why? And, since playing more numbers will reduce the overall gap. Does that mean the optimal strategy is playing a single number?

Did you test your method via simulation? I can't see how it works with my little knowledge of statistics. Can someone chime in?
The major problem is we die, so if we didn’t die then yes those 10,000 years of civilization would help because of the life experiences of the survivors,

So:

1.) Not everyone reads history books
2.) We die
3.) Social stats reset at birth, pray you have parents who treat you and other people well

The only permanent solution is an evolution of our species where the asshole gene is gone or a collective hive mind
Yeah its true but many of them said diet is also important and that is true if you only focus on diet than its not healthy. https://www.fitnesshealthforever.com/fitness/5-ways-to-exerc... In this Article said how to maintain weight with exercise.
I can manually type in a 30-letter password that I can see from my password manager on my phone. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be manually typing in an RSA private key stored on my phone.
What exacerbates it is that modern venues for finding someone to connect with, are all heavily controlled and/or monetized.

Services like OKCupid actually actively hinder relevant matches unless you pay them and keep paying them. Places like Reddit are hit and miss, heavily dependent on the time you post, and you not only have to risk your privacy to find good matches, you have to gain the approval of everyone else who could remove your post from visibility.

I miss IRC, but of course even that was far from perfect, and had its own risks.

This isn't just about dating, but finding friends with similar interests at all.

With 8 billion people on the planet and all the connectivity, you'd think this would be easier for everyone by now.
I'm aiming for software to digest the output of a 300fps tethered camera on a drone. Basically an Apertus Axiom beta with a fancier FPGA to use all 64 lanes of the sensor to not have only 150fps, and being able to attach a 40G QSFP+ transceiver to it for data offloading.

Existing software makes hand-picked pictures worthwhile, but I want full-auto behavior.

Near-term I want a construction worker to open the case with the hardware after cleaning his hands, and then showing all insides of the building to the camera, before swapping the storage and getting the data physically back to base for processing.

Also, video capture gets you continuity of motion. Unordered picture collections are horribly expensive to compute with.

I also prefer redundancy to holes in my textures or models ;)

My drone swirls around the buildings, btw. I want VR for walking, not google earth.
Strongly agreed.

I didn't want to post yet another "reason #651235 why I loathe adtech" comment, but that's really it. Bots pretending to be people wouldn't be of interest at this level if it was just criminals trying to scam people - it would be just another type of crime. This is a problem because of the almost-fraud tactics of sales and marketing that, for some reason, happen to be on the right side of the legal line. I suggest we move that line to solve this problem.
Exactly. In many implementations I’ve seen the user’s MAC address ends up getting exposed to the WAN. I suppose this is the wet dream of Google, and that’s why they want to push ipv6 adoption.
Compiling and Running a Dynamic Language – PHP – On .Net Core
On a practical level, C is an alternative to assembly because the appropriate black-box tools and combinations of tools allow the user to easily turn source code in either Language or a combination of both into an executable.

Generating assembly from C is an implementation detail, and many C compilers don't do that.

On the other hand, Dhall really is a YAML generator: the available tools allow only one-way conversion (in particular, there is no interpreter/library to ingest Dhall from the configured application itself).
I stand corrected, thanks :)
Bot initiated.
Human, assisted with menus of canned phrases. "Just one moment while I check that for you."

That's my assumption and if I'm not in a rush, pretty ok with it.
Looking back at half a century of horrendous bug-ridden code, and you still say this?

I mean, people have tried! Ethereum created a system of contracts implemented as a programming language. Know what it led to? People losing huge amounts of their money after someone found a bug in the contract and exploited it. And after that, the money was gone. The hacker had followed the contract as written, and the money was theirs now.

Weight gain is an increase in body weight. This can involve an increase in muscle mass, fat deposits, excess fluids such as water or other factors. Weight gain can be a symptom of a serious medical condition.

Authorities are called such for a reason. It is only a fallacy to invoke an authority who is unrelated to the subject, or if your opponent is also an authority.

On the subject of fallacies, this one is called the “appeal to nature”.

Well this is the conflict. If its just a way to batch dependent queries there are things like capnproto that do that too.

Ideally though, you don't use dependent fetches and you have a bespoke endpoint that collapses the dependent operations possibly as tight as a single join query. If this is the case you're trying to solve, then why shouldn't we strive for something like a declarative query language?
That's exactly what segregated bicycle facilities are all about, discrimination. Of course in South Africa you were also discriminated by the color of your skin not just by your vehicle of choice. From the article: "When in 1935 a cycle lane was painted on Louis Botha Avenue, the city authorities touted it as a safety solution, but its true purpose was to get black cyclists from Alex out of the way of white motorists."
Roads are not car-centered. They are built for vehicles, and bicycles are vehicles. Bike lanes are built to keep us off the road that motorists believe it is theirs. Do you think cyclists didn't ride on the roads in the Netherlands before they built bike lanes? Of course they built them to let "progress" (i.e. the car) pass unimpeded.
The heat map is a nice visualisation for the vast amount of data that Strava has, but I don't find it useful for planning runs as an individual. It pretty much just shows where the major roads are in cities (which ironically is what I want to avoid).

Strava's more recent "draw your route" feature is quite cool, but again it requires that you know the area and does not take into account the features of the land.
This has nothing to do with native IPv6. They are putting 1000s of customers behind one single IPv4 address which is a nightmare for everyone involved (think about port forwarding not working anymore, etc.)
> My frustration with Strava is that they have SO much good data, yet they do so little with it.

Whereas my frustration is that they have mountains of bad data (and we're sometimes talking egregiously bad here - segment times for runs that are >10,000mph etc.) which they do nothing about. It's a trivial data hygiene problem to note that, e.g., if an activity is marked as "running" and the average speed is 20mph+ over an hour, that's bullshit.
Sometimes a better ISP isn't always an option. I live on the south coast in a Virginmedia area, and have requirements that make it the only sensible option since it's so far ahead of other ISPs on downstream bandwidth.

I do run an IPv6 tunnel out of my network to get access to the IPv6 internet and add my tiny bit of traffic to things and try and increase adoption, but I'd much prefer it if VMB just gave me IPv6 native. Not even sure they're working on it.
>The gas is taxed for the environmental reasons

Then why was it highly taxed before carbon emissions were considered a problem at all? I can tell you: because it's easy to tax (very much like estates).
Yeah, this is all on the late 2013 15" with the nvidia dgpu - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206587 has the official details on this BTW - they state that SST Displayport 3840 x 2160 displays are only supported at 60hz on the 15" from Mid 2014 on, but it actually works on the Late 2013 also with Switchresx.
My thoughts, exactly. Especially with dynamic, scripting languages with no need for compilation and simple enough syntax (ie. php, python, ruby, etc). Why would I want to add another layer of complexity to an application with an unknown language while I already have a capable one ? Why add more dependencies on your project ? Why add more cognitive load on your brain ?
> Alan Savory TED Talk

I'm no expert, but I would approach this with extreme caution. There are a lot of replies that he is "misleading", "wrong", "dead wrong" etc.
Thanks furi, good point.
Humans indeed talked to each other and have done things together since the dawn of time. But the problem is that our way of living has changed significantly during recent years.

Most of the people simply don't have the possibility to gather around and talk about their life/problems. It is becoming a luxury to have a live talk with a real person.

I am sure that the above mentioned organization is doing great job helping people, but the answer to your question why it is not scalable is that such approach can help only to a very limited amount of people. Why ?

Because:
- meeting in person is not always possible
- meeting in persion is not always desirable
- it is limited only to local areas
Adding a sensor to the double slit experiment to measure which slit the particle goes through removes the quantum effects from the experiment.
It's a nice play on words.

> In London, being on a bicycle is life threatening.

Not really disagreeing per se, but I think it's worth taking a look at the numbers. I got them from Wikipedia [1]. The lastest numbers they have are from 2017: 721 thousand journeys per day and 10 deaths per year. That's 0.0000038% chance of death per journey (although presumably about 40x that for serious injury, or 0.00015% per journey). While I appreciate that it's scary to ride in traffic, very unlikely to ever be killed on a bicycle in London. Not good as it should be, but over the last 10-20 years you can see that improvements have been made and I hope we'll see more to come in the future.

For some of us IRC never went away. It’s my primary social outlet, and I’m closing in on 30.

Maybe I’m a bit special as I moved countries a fair bit in my 20s, and making friends in adulthood is difficult.

Though I'm a big proponent of pure electric vehicles, we should be acknowledging that they're still a large source of carbon emissions from manufacturing and in some cases electricity used. The most desirable option would be to move away from individually owned automobiles altogether.

E-bikes are the way to go. They fill the gap between bike-able distances and those requiring alternate propulsion for many people. And depending on your diet, they're in some cases more environmentally friendly than normal bicycles per distance traveled. That doesn't even matter, since both are an order of magnitude better than the automobile.

It's crazy that we're spending thousands to subsidize electric vehicles and mostly ignoring e-bikes.
I totally understand and agree with that. But we don't live in a perfect world where people do the things they're supposed to do. And there are lots of developers out there who will pull in a malign FOSS library, then blame everyone else when it does exactly what the code said it would do.

Just like every other avenue of life, we're going to have to dumb down what we do so that idiots don't hurt themselves.

> People don't use trains because "they're expensive, and I might need to leave 8 minutes early or later some day"

That's an unfortunate side-effect of trains having timetables. When a train is 5 minutes late, it's really frustrating because a) you don't have any agency, b) you usually cannot see anything related to the reason for the delay, and c) the idle waiting makes the time feel longer.

When a car is stuck in traffic for 30 minutes, it doesn't feel like you're losing 30 minutes. It just feels like a force of nature happening to you, and also it feels shorter than waiting for a train for 30 minutes because you're still engaged in the act of driving. You still have some agency because you have the choice of trying to change to that other lane that always feels like it's moving faster.

Most systems use the privacy extensions that randomize addresses to prevent that.
It's a bit difficult to parse. Zebra mussels colonized the Lake Erie at a time when it was so polluted that it had been declare biologically dead. In particular this happened:

"Some of my readers may remember media stories from 1969, when the Cuyahoga River, which flows into Lake Erie, caught fire one hot summer day—yes, it had that much toxic waste in it."
Not disagreeing with you but I believe Thoreau said that about philanthropy.
