Yes, there was a delay in effects during the 80s. I'm guessing that we can thank China for that. They pumped a shitload of SOx into the atmosphere. Some of it formed a high-altitude haze, which reflected enough sunlight to offset warming from increased CO2.

But China is releasing less SOx now. And it gets washed out of the atmosphere much faster than CO2 does. So the fit is hitting the shan now.
You hear that everyone? "QuickToBan" on ycombinator has officially put his stamp of approval that literally NOTHING can go wrong attempting a geo-engineering process of this magnitude! What a relief!
I'm not saying it's not an adaptation. Think about the scale of time you just referenced and compare it to the frame of time of the study and my comment.

Thank you.
My pet armchair theory is because driving a car is the one time a lot of human beings feel powerful. Where I live (provincial New Zealand) car traffic is slowed down just as much by tractors moving from farm to farm as it is by cyclists. Yet I never hear people tell me their elaborate fantasies about murdering tractor drivers. Why? Because it's not a realistic fantasy - the tractors are bigger than them.

If you work a menial job, or your family doesn't respect you, or you're looked down on by society - or maybe a combination - then your commute home is maybe the only time you have real power, protected by a big metal shell. So the anger at cyclists is more about 'how dare they slow me down when during the small pocket of time in my existence when I wield power?'.

I'm a long time cycle commuter relucantly turned auto-commuter. I thought I'd start hating cyclists too once I joined the herd but they're practically a non issue.
Agreed! And your documentation is exceptional.

I worked on the osx86 acpi stack wayyyy back in the day when the p4 dev kits(that was almost 15 years ago!!!) we're still going out. The sorta stuff that we were doing back then left me thinking that OSX on commodity hardware would always be a pipe dream. To see that transformed into systems that can recieve updates and still function has been really exciting. Good work!
Snapd, flatpak, appimage all can do this on Linux. Even docker/singularity can sort of do the same for some, if you pass through all the necessary devices and sockets from the host. When you remove the app (or container) all the files it brought with it or created during runtime are now gone.

Even the regular Linux package managers like apt, dnf, pacman track which files were installed by which packages, so they can be removed when the package is uninstalled. The downside to these is they don't track files created at runtime so a lot of the config or cache files created can be left over if the package itself doesn't remove them.
What is the state of serverless on GCP?
In my past job I was fortunate enough to be able to build a few greenfield products that hat heavily used AWS’s serverless offerings. It was really nice and generally came out a lot cheaper for us than the alternatives, including dev time.

Current job uses GCP and a lot of Kubernetes. I’m interested in evaluating replacing some of the smaller services with Cloud Functions (or Cloud Run if it fits better)

Looking around, a lot of the tools I used at my previous job have flakey or really hindered support for GCP.

Just sort of curious what other folks are doing out there or how they might compare GCP offerings to AWS offerings
I'm curious, why was it painful? We just had a middleware do an Origin check and copy the header if it matches.
You can actually, they pump coal thru pipelines.
This doesn’t directly address your point, but a particular cycleway in my city (Wellington, NZ) has unquestionably put several small businesses out of business, and is well on its way to killing a previously thriving village centre.

As a personal disclaimer, I lived in Europe for years, where my primary means of transport was a bicycle, and after careful consideration over many years I am firmly in favour of personal motor vehicles as a means of transport.
Possibly but they’re not going to be particularly walkable.

I suspect the automated GPU reset didn't quite work, as nothing wasn't redrawing properly.
sigh While I'm not surprised, I'm certainly disappointed.

I bought a Galaxy S9+ with a curved screen a couple months after it came out. Seeing my friends' S8 curved screens was enough to convince me to buy one. They look great (imo anyway), and look more "edge to edge" than non-curved screens (at least right now).

But. I am sick of the top and bottom of YouTube videos being cut off because some of it is wrapped just past the point where you can see it well. I'm sick of having to move the edge of the case slightly to drag a bounding box to the edge of the screen. And the last time I cracked my screen and took it to be repaired (which thankfully ended up only being a screen protector crack) they quoted me over $500 to replace the screen. Can you imagine how much Apple will charge for screen replacement if Samsung are already charging over $500?

Japanese is pretty close to 1:1 mapping if you write using Hiragana for example. Its not complete since there are some words written the same way to which you give a different intonation, but compared to languages like English or French its WAY more standardized.
Ok thanks for the example. I hadn't heard of that, so I just briefly read about it. It looked like there were clear terms about the Enterprise apps: that it was for internal, employee use. Facebook was distributing it to non employees. I imagine that is why there was little shade thrown.
Looks like a good time to write my guide on how to find a cofounder and what to do when you do.

Quick summary:

- based on 3 failed cofounder relationships, 1 successful company (CircleCI)

- current cofounding (https://darklang.com) very strong

- spoke to 50 potential cofounders (not 2-3 like before)

- 50% of my pipeline were founders with underrepresented backgrounds

- after first 10 had a profile that I was looking for (PM in consumer or devtools)

- had a 40 part questionnaire that potential cofounders filled in, took about 90 mins, sent them my answers after I got theirs

- prioritize chemistry and company value alignment (eg questions like when do you want to sell the company)

- worked together on small company-building projects for a few weeks to assess fit

- went to cofounder therapy (still going, it's been two years)

- getting 50 is hard, I asked for recommendations from friends, colleagues, investors, posted on social media and linkedin, used angellist, went to meetups, cold emailed people, cold linkedin messaged. All produced good leads and lots of bad leads
> Banks and credit issuing institutions are heavily regulated and have a variety of criteria that must be met to legally operate in that capacity.

Except the banks and other regulated financial institutions involved in Libra aren’t the entities that will be issuing Libra coin. A separate (I believe non-profit) entity, Libra, is. The financial institutions have “donated” $5 million and will have the ability to appoint a seat on Libra’s board. Do you know which regulator will oversee that entity? Do you know what regulations will apply to that entity? I certainly don’t.

Control Panel “add and remove programs” usually works?

There’s no equivalent on Mac. Yes, dragging the app to the trash is a thing but that leaves behind content in ~/Library/caches, ~/Library/Application Support, and ~/Library/Preferences . It’s been somewhat of an issue with Mac ever since they first put a hard drive on the original ones back in the 80s...

Edit: I literally cleared several GB of junk out of my application support folder left behind by just one app today, so it’s fresh on my mind. OmniDiskSweeper is great for finding this stuff.
All of my stickers are for companies I've been directly involved with (eg past employers), FOSS projects (Python/PyCon, PostgreSQL), charities I'm active with (EFF, FSF, etc.), or services that I personally use a lot (Mastodon, Twitter). They're kind of a way of saying "I like these things".

I think it's 100% because you don't like Javascript. You resent having to learn it. I feel the exact same way about Git, I've never been able to stomach it, I'm bewildered as to why the entire programming community have decided it's the one VCS to rule them all, and I resent having to grok its UI.

The Javascript ecosystem is huge. It's also the wild west, completely non-curated, open to anyone, and you have to treat it accordingly. It's not really one entity.
Yeah Wim Wenders made a documentary back in 1982 about this. It’s a series of interviews with world famous directors of the time talking about the direction of the movie industry.

And in China, firms like Huawei are touting how their employees are volunteering for 72 hour work weeks (Hint, they aren't). There is a backlash against it. The employeer is not an innocent party when they impose onerous working conditions, and voting with your feet, every time a new manager comes aboard or a reorg happens is not a stable situation for workers or humans anywhere to be under.
Mostly good. Celebrating 10 months of being sober and leaving my last job.

Just spent the past two days rolling out a new Elasticsearch cluster for work that was giving me panic attacks for weeks (first time “architecting” on that level). Things went really well, so I can probably sleep alright before a big “investors meeting” later this week.

Idk, I feel good. I just think I could probably sleep a bit more and be better.

How are _you_?
> in reality it can be hard to gather enough entropy to be satisfiably unpredictable

I think this is a myth, especially on desktop/laptop PCs - a few hundred bytes of entropy at system boot initialize the kernel CSPRNG, which can then generate countless gigabytes of cryptographic-quality randomness on demand.
>>>> starting a company with someone is a bigger commitment than getting married

>> How? You can leave a company you founded at any any time without any financial repercussions

Absolutely not! Leaving a company has huge financial repercussions! If you have no agreement, you are either killing the company (as everyone disbands) or end up with either no ownership or end up with some uncertain amount of ownership as all the owners fight amongst themselves. If you do have a vesting agreement, you've usually lost everything if you haven't reached your 1st year cliff vest.

Either way -- you've lost a lot --

0. You've "lost" all the work you put in (often at zero or low salary). You often put in 80hr workweeks -- at that rate you could have made a boatload of money with a real job or contracting, and instead you put it all in as sweat equity and now the company owns all that unpaid effort, not you.

1. You've lost all the money you may have invested into the company

2. You've lost all the IP you came up with but may now be owned by the company

Also, I'd be worried if the startup means so little that you are willing to walk away without disappointment -- because startups go through hard times and you have to be willing to slog through the despair without quitting.
The speed of evolution is mainly a function of the length of a generation (and also of the amount of pressure from the environment). Consider how long human generations are compared to cockroaches, and how little evolutionary pressure humans face today. Read my comment again. Thank you
again, we have seen a lot of apple patent application that did not result in a product being sold.
Many to most typical laptop stickers don't advertise companies. Also, if you stick one over the glowing apple, you disable some rather obnoxious advertising.
What's strange about this conversation is that your refusal to trade privacy for convenience is passed off as some kind of no-loss decision, when in reality there are all kinds of downsides to living your life the way you claim you do.

The conversation can't even be had until the facts are presented honestly, and when you present your position this way, it's not honest.

I don’t understand how a “you’re about to jump out of the app” confirm panel is breaking protocol links. I actually want this behavior for zoom and any other app...
Most of my stickers aren’t really related to IT or a business or anything, save for some nonprofits. It helps me differentiate my work laptop from personal (similar looking thinkpads) and to enliven an otherwise dull but functional design in a way that is pleasing to me by virtue of it reflecting my interests and tastes, if these are ones that I feel comfortable sharing. What would be a good reason, in your opinion?
This chart is all bots, not humans players...
FWIW I am not sure how dragging the .app to the trash would uninstall other things installed by the app.

If I drag photoshop to my trash instead of using Adobe’s uninstaller, I’m pretty sure that leaves Creative Cloud junk running on my machine.

Now, zoom did mess up by not having a proper uninstaller shipped with their app, I think a lot of other Mac apps do fail at this too though.
Why in the world would a keyboard driver need to run a webserver? Client software should just be able to call driver functions directly in order to configure the keyboard. It sounds like they hired a web developer to write their driver configuration tool and didn't give any architectural constraints or have someone managing the project who knows best practices or security principles.
Usually when I see people put stickers on laptops it's just for stuff they like or things they think looks cool. Maybe sometimes that ends up being a company they like for whatever reason. It's the same reasoning someone would use picking out t-shirts. The goal is to not give corporations free advertising.

The oil number was rounding down from a 2005 number.

2014 number I found would be 1.3 cubic miles.

The car bloc is 95% of the population and is completely rational. It makes no sense to take entire lanes out of service for the tiny minority of people who can integrate biking into their daily commute. And for most people in the US, public transit is not an option because you have a last mile problem at both the starting point and ending point.

Consider, as an ironic example, the new development around DC’s New Carrolton metro station, where WMATA, DC’s subway operator, will have a major office. Although it is a metro stop, it’s not practically commutable by metro. Almost all of the housing in the area is outside walking distance from the station, and it would make no sense to live in the city (where the rent is very expensive and the schools are bad) and take metro when you could live in the surrounding suburbs and drive 15 minutes to work instead. This is a problem endemic to the US—because we put large employment centers in the suburbs (like Silicon Valley) we end up with suburb-suburb commutes with last mile problems at both ends. It kills transit and biking as viable options.

Public transit is viable when your cities look like New York or Chicago. You put a little train station in a walkable/bikeable suburb, and then put all the jobs downtown. Most post-WWII cities don’t look anything like that. In those cities, it’s entirely rational to cater primarily to cars, because most people couldn’t use public transit and biking even if they wanted to.

No, fuck you I don't want your stickers or your bullshit laptop.
The point is, all of those files are generally still left behind on Windows as well. Uninstalling a program in Windows is roughly equivalent to dragging it into the trash in macOS.

Aim: A new open source semantic, declarative, IaC tool
Great article. To me the weak part in this argument is arguing this all involves “lock in”. Specifically:

> The story is that users will buy Netflix streaming services and it will be too much trouble to switch to a different service, which is a variant of a phenomenon called “lock-in.”

And because of this they can get away with building bad content and losing money.

I don’t agree users won’t easily switch or leave if quality drops. Netflix is becoming a premium channel like HBO (or vice versa). It’s trivial to cancel the service like it is to cancel any premium channel (think HBO after GoT) and look at other options. If anything, eventually my credit card expires and I revisit all my subscriptions...

This does seem to be a problem in the case of a duopoly or monopoly, which is perhaps the real threat the author means to describe.
Dating sounds like a great idea, but I find it difficult to imagine getting to know someone in a small amount of time.

I know people who have married after 3 months of knowing each other and it works, and I imagine the same can happen for founders -- but -- who wants to take that chance? The ideal "marriage" whether in relationships or business settings (IMHO) is one where you observe the person before you are tied to them (e.g., before they are on their best behavior due to courtship), and ideally for a longer period of time so you can see how they are in stressed situations.

Everyone is usually on their best behavior during dating, so you don't know how people react under real pressure (e.g., when millions of dollars of theoretical paper equity are on the line on some crucial decision, or when interests diverge.)

It's interesting that you say the cycleway unquestionably put small businesses out of business--why do you think that?

In North America small businesses and town centres are generally under threat from big shopping centres and the way large highways that literally split communities in half. After seeing how smoothly dense cities in the Netherlands can function with advanced bicycle infrastructure I'm convinced that bikes should have an effect opposite to what you mention.
