Yes, though as an interim measure it's a start. A very large stock of trees can renew itself, so while individual trees return most or all of the carbon they capture, the stock of all trees becomes a stable stock of carbon sequestered from the atmosphere.

That doesn't solve the problem of increasing CO2 emissions, but it blunts the trajectory and with any luck prevents some of the more destructive potential positive feedback loops from winding up.
I remember when Agile development used to involve chickens and pigs. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you're not doing Agile as it was written. Almost nobody is today.

Has anyone used Carp? What is your experience with it?

I looked at it a few times over the years and the domain (statically typed language with Rust-esque lifetimes for no GC) is exactly what I've wanted a few times, but there isn't any mention of embeding Carp in a program, only using it standalone. Targetting e.g. video games with low latency is fine, but I'd rather write an engine (or use an existing one!) and use Carp for scripting than be locked into solely Carp.

What's your program called and how can I test it out? I use LibreCAD which is 2D, but I wish there were more shortcut key combos.
So, I am an American, but my primary loyalty is to humanity as a whole. I think we should do what's best for the world, not what's best for Americans, if those two are in conflict. I don't think promoting the American intelligence apparatus is good for the world, and I think it has little enough value to Americans that I'm willing to abandon it.

(I think you can construct an argument that America treats the rest of the world better than China, though. I don't think I believe it right now but I could be convinced.)
Thank you! sent you a reply :)
I watch a bunch of tech related YouTube channels and the amount of NordVPN shilling is outrageous. Some fine folks making good content telling their audience that "your ISP is seeing everything you do but if you use a VPN you are safe, it's totally not like the VPN provider is then able to do exactly what the ISP could before!"

Even worse the VPN provider is usually operating from some country with much less regulation regarding privacy. If it were revealed that some ISP here in Germany is sniffing traffic and selling your data, shit would hit the fan, but if your trusty VPN provider from whoknowswhere does this, good luck going after them.
Forrest area in Poland is growing since WWII from 20,8% in 1946 to 29,5% in 2016. The target for 2020 is 30% area of the country under forrest and for 2050 - 33%.
80% of forrests in Poland is under management of Lasy Panstwowe - state-owned company with political reach.

https://pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasy_w_Polsce

Additionaly areas of older forrests (over 80 years old) increased by 50% from 1946. There is also a policy of making forrests more ecologically diverse.

> wild - this thread appears to be brigaded by pro CCP posters

Is it so hard to believe that people not in agreement with you have actual reasons for that?
Right but we do actually need some people to have kids and a declining population is pretty bad for the way society is currently organized.

It's great you've decided not to have kids but denigrating others choices to have them by calling it a hobby is not cool.
Is there a choice which won't leave you hated by half of Linux users?
You can be skeptical of the narrative without being pro CCP.

The Huawei “backdoors” everyone made a fuss about were neither worse nor better than the dozens of bugs and backdoors in every other brand that have been found over the years. Mostly typical of poor SDLC of companies that primarily do hardware not software.

Any large company is going to employ people who have served in various security services just by law of large numbers.

For stuff like Telecom you also actively need people experienced with gov security standards to help you comply with them!

Former experience with an agency can be super helpful with this. At least thats why several companies I’ve worked for (in FVEY countries) have hired from services - not so much for skills or connections but because they understand the compliance and certification processes.

Not sure if people realise there are probably 50 Word, Powerpoint and compliance jockeys for every TAO operative in those places.

I’m ok with the Huawei ban tbh but much of the press surrounding it seems bunk to me, frankly. I think I can recognise propaganda when I see it, at least when it relates to my field.
Show HN: The simplest way to detect corners on a image
Microsoft very actively works on React Native for Windows, and last I checked there were decent RN desktop ports for Linux and MacOS. So that's one potential option.
Just out of curiosity, which media sources are you referring to?

One way to think about TribePulse would be a cross between an "internal blog" and "internal forum" for your company. In addition to some of the regular features you'd find in a blog or forum (we've tried to be selective here), we've also built in some additional features (e.g. tracking viewership, "surface and reply") that will make TribePulse highly effective for keeping remote teams in sync.
Boxcryptor[1] started out as an EncFS[2] implementation. At the time, EncFS was the only real good solution for file-based encryption. Solutions like TrueCrypt are disk-based, which means for cloud syncing solutions like Dropbox, one file -- the entire disk volume -- gets synced, and every time a file changes, the entire disk gets synced again. EncFS encrypts individual files, which works great for file-based syncing services.

Boxcryptor offered a client for macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS that worked really well, and if you needed Linux support, one could install EncFS and use it transparently on that platform. Boxcryptor charged for a creating volumes with more advanced EncFS settings, but if you created the EncFS volume with those advanced settings using EncFS itself (e.g. on a Linux machine), the free version of Boxcryptor could read and write those volumes with those settings.

In 2013, the people who ran Boxcryptor wrote a second version that implemented a proprietary, unpublished encryption and/or file management scheme. They relegated the previous version to an unmaintained Boxcryptor Classic product and eventually removed it.[3] The proprietary version is what is offered today.

IF you want Boxcryptor-like functionality today, the EncFS4win project[4] is a good solution for Windows. EncFS can be installed via Homebrew[5] on macOS and its volumes mounted via a shell script or some FUSE GUI managers. You can install EncFS on Linux and use gencfsm[6] for a GUI manager. The Windows, macOS, and Linux implementations all use FUSE for exposing the encrypted files via a native filesystem interface. For Android, Encdroid provides an application browser for volumes. I am unaware of an iOS solution. I use the FUSE systems to keep certain sensitive cloud documents synced between my Windows, macOS and Linux machines while still being able to edit and use them like normal files on those systems.

EncFS does have a few attack vectors they have been slowly addressing. It also suffers from the same problem that all cloud-synced file-based encryption systems suffer; someone could restore your cloud files to a previous known version without your knowledge. The file-based encryption does not prevent what is in effect a replay attack. A research paper proposed a solution -- CryFS[7] -- with some solutions for this problem, but the implementation is immature.

Why would I need a VPN for browsing if all my traffic is https and I use HTTPS DNS?
No, but there are (at least) two interpretations of ”I don’t know.” It’s a nice little exercise in epistemology.
I know about revery[0] and cljfx[0], though I haven't had the chance to use them in anger. These both seem like very nice approaches to me - I'm partial to cljfx because I've been utterly spoiled by the clojure/script development experience, but I've also come to enjoy the typescript environment and revery seems to another step along that road.

Every thread that paints China in a negative light on HN always follow the same pattern:

- USA whataboutism

- Mass flagging (resulting in the story getting knocked off the frontpage despite having a great upvote, comment and submission ratio)

- Comments negative towards China receive 1-5 quick downvotes before slowly climbing back to normal again

It’s really unfortunate that an otherwise well moderated community is so easily defeated by this abuse, and that there appear to be nothing being done to fix it despite many obvious and simple solutions (ignore flags and downvotes by those who abuse them, ban shills that resort to whataboutism from posting in threads containing /China/Chinese keywords).
I'm not convinced that it's appropriate to assume that it would have been world shattering..

We have people now who lived their entire lives not realizing that other people visually "see" with their mind's eye.

I think the more likely assumption is that those with an inner monologue would have just thought it normal, and that everyone else was the same.

> All marginalized groups need is to be called some specific terms? This is entirely a question of terminology rather than a fight by marginalized people to achieve specific, better outcomes?

Calling someone by the terms they prefer is a baseline for common courtesy, from which those better outcomes can follow. Nowhere is it claimed that this is "all marginalized groups need," rather that it's simply the least you can, and should, do.

>That view is so convenient that I have a hard time believing that it's right.

It isn't right, because you're purposely misrepresenting it an attempt to discredit it through a false dichotomy.

Also I don't understand what's "convenient" about it. Are we supposed to infer an ulterior motive on the part of people who want to be called by a certain pronoun?
No, the river is the Rhine. Traiectum is the noun for transire (verb), going through. It was a place where you could cross the river, hence a strategic place to build a castellum, as the Rhine was used as a natural border (limes) for the Roman Empire.

The u stands for uut (old Dutch), meaning downstream. Although I am not 100% sure if U doesn't simply stand for uit, which means 'from'.
I'm not sure it's true though, paradoxically if you're an American subject to Chinese surveillance or vice versa you're probably better off than being under domestic surveillance, because at least you're out of the respective jurisdiction.

Like, what is Huawei going to do if it has information on you and you live in Boston, compared to the local police?

From the perspective of individual liberty it seems better to be subject to surveillance by someone who doesn't have legal authority over you than be subject to someone who does. I'm not sure the American prison population or minority groups have to fear a foreign government more than their own.

Time machine is glacially slow, and it is finicky to use with network storage, and doesn't play nice with non-macs. Newer portable Macs had been annoying to use with most existing external storage until rather recently because of Type C.
Alien bacteria-like in their original planet: Nobody know, but yes. Some steps are easy, some steps are unknow. It's a little optimist to say a clear "yes", but "yes".

Intelligent Alien living happily in their original planet or nearby: Nobody know, but probably yes. There are more unknows unknows step here. I'm particularly worried abbot the prokaryote-eukaryote transition, but there are more steps and more unknow steps. So let's hope that the universe is big enough and say "probably yes".

Intelligent Alien visiting us in flying saucer: Nobody know, but probably no. The distances are too big. There is no hard evidence like a crash from time to time. We don't receive any electromagnetic weird signals, and electromagnetic communication is so efficient it would be weird that they use other means to communicate between starships. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but let's say "probably no".
There were multiple questions where I would have answered "It's undefined" or "It's implementation defined", but those weren't options. It's not that I don't know the answer; I know the answer ("it's implementation defined according to the spec, but on essentially every relevant platform, the result will be X"), but the "it's implementation defined" part of my answer isn't an option, so the only possible answer becomes "on essentially every relevant platform, the answer is X".

Using "I don't know" as a substitute for "I know that the standard clearly covers this, and it says that the result depends on the implementation" does seem to be designed to piss off people who know C. If they really wanted to get the point across that you don't know what is and isn't implementation defined or undefined, they shouldn't be using vague questions to mislead people; they should just plainly ask questions which people don't know the answer to.

I hate this kind of questioning where you 100% know the subject matter the quiz is asking about, but the question and possible choices is so vague you have to try to interpret what you suspect the person who wrote the quiz wants the answer to be. I once had an exam which was full of that kind of multiple choice question, and guessed the exam author's intentions wrong on most of them.
I’ll second misalignment of titles due to numbers in boxes. And I would prefer “10 days” instead of “1 week 3 days ago”.

Beyond that, the site seems good for its purpose, and I like how multilink+summaries puts the event above particular sources. Its like someone googled a headline for you and presented you a good results page, instead of providing just one domain and its point of view.

Also by bunching APIs together means that if you split an API between two clusters all those graphql requests are now broken. But you don’t really know that because it’s hard to know what queries a client have created.

Also if someone creates a query that triggers a path where the n+1 problem absolutely wreak havoc with the backing data storage you could have serious problems with that. By fixing an API you get predictability.
There’s also the mismatching between data versions and on what version or view you are operating on.
Large companies like Microsoft assume that there are advanced persistent threats that are willing to place HUMINT inside of their companies. The companies have dedicated internal teamd focused on detecting them.

For example, Twitter recently fired someone that was leaking information on dissidents to a foreign government.
Living dead center in Utrecht it's actually quite easy to do so. In the mornings you can simply drive through the pedestrian zone at a walking pace as long as you have business there like unloading or going to your house. Outside of the pedestrian zone of the centre you can still drive your car, but it's just not something a lot of people do. Given the medieval street pattern it's still pretty convenient.

The real hard thing is that Google & Co don't mark every street as reachable by car or truck and you also need to drive over a bus / taxi lane to get there. So people that are used to just set up Google Maps and drive will never get there as the roads are not accessible according to the map they use. Which is a huge pain in the ass anything larger than a parcel needs to be delivered to my house.

Also Pascal wager is wrong because it assumes that believing in god is free or almost free, but if there's no god then the only thing you have is your life and by believing in god you are giving up the only opportunity to live your life the best way you can. Instead you taint everything you got with twisted and wicked thoughts like the one user 'sdegutis' presented: "Kid should suffer more before he died. Because supernatural reasons."

Cost of believing in god in Pascal's wager is infinite because you have to spoil the only thing you got.

no, its just an absolutely bonkers thread. The idea that Huwawei is some kind of shocking threat that needs to be fought because chinese spooks work there is embarrassing. American spooks and ex-spooks dominate in US communications technology firms. I'm an american, born and bred in Texas. I have no love, whatsoever for the CCP, but its a gross orientalist obsession to see China as somehow singularly malevolent.
It's still true people were using a lot of bicycles even when there were a lot of cars in city centers. They were just more prone to get an accident with a car as cars were allowed to drive faster and basically could come everywhere.

We got the bicycle amenities not because we wanted to stimulate people using them but because too many people (especially kids) died riding them.
Seems entirely possible that Silicon Valley doesn't host a disproportionate amount of sex scandals. Maybe there's something about the PR culture, or the relationship with news media such that sex scandals actually get reported on.

My guess, after working in old large corporations, is that the Silicon Valley people aren't quite as cozy with reporters and lawyers. They haven't had time to develop tactics for getting reporters to not report on juicy sex scandals. They haven't had time to come up with a play book for dealing with sex scandals.

TribePulse definitely shares similarities with Twist, especially around the choice to go with async communication. But whereas Twist focuses on communication and positions itself as a replacement for Slack, TribePulse doesn't seek to be a replacement for Slack and instead focuses more on surfacing key announcements (ensuring proper information dissemination in remote teams and companies), capturing longer-form, high-signal interactions (retaining institutional knowledge), and encouraging greater transparency in teams (announcements should be less like decrees and more like opportunities for discussion or feedback)
dang is too busy censoring the narrative by whining about decorum to deal with his site becoming a infowar.

I always wonder how much of the censorship investigated at major tech companies is caused by insular communities like HN, where the engineers hang out, practicing that same kind of narrative based censorship under decorum pretenses.

Mine too.

When he was one my son used to try to push a broom around, having seen me do it almost every day of his life (wooden floors make sweeping common - especially due to his habit of throwing food around).

By the time he was 2/2.5 he was actually capable of sweeping the floor but he's been the same with a lot of simple tasks. He obviously tried to copy me, before he was able to do so.

There's a temptation to not let children help, because it does make all jobs take three/four times as long. But it's worth resisting, they can do jobs, and they should be encouraged to treat them as normal activities not "chores" done under protest, solely for financial reward.

Exactly because things are not obvious, they need to be explained. As long as you do not explain the things you call obvious, you cannot judge if people do not understand a topic.
