The average hotel room is probably around 30m^2. Imagine the last hotel room you stayed in, cut off two thirds of it… and you have the size of this micro-flat.

My walk-in closet when I lived in SF was probably about 12m^2.
Oh! This is interesting. I didn’t know I could do this too. That’s a bit nicer even than only the combining of nested calls that I was aware of.
Only when a large percentage of the population (especially uneducated people who form the core of support for the current American president) actually suffer from the effects of global warming will there be enough political will to really take this seriously.

Meanwhile we’ll continue to emit carbon dioxide. We just have to hope that future generations will figure out how to remove our carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

There are only two particularly feasible outcomes: (1) open, transparent algorithms & (2) open, transparent data.

If I were Google and FB, I'd be pushing like hell that regulators choose the first one.

And honestly, it's going to need to happen at some point.

Because there's going to be something that looks like a violation of the Fair Housing Act (f.ex., or any number of other laws promoting equality) and "Our algorithms handle it" isn't going to satisfy a judge.
You misunderstood the article. It is not that we have to cut emission by 50% within the next 18 months. But we have to finally start acting within this timeframes and not with promises but with clear commitments to change things significantly.

We are not doomed (yet).

We still can prevent the worst.

But we have to act NOW.
That’s not what the article says, if you read it you will see it’s suggesting the decisions made in the next 18 months are crucial for saving the planet.
I've lived in spaces this small, and smaller, but there were large common areas and the small space was only meant for sleeping and storage. It was unclear from the video what common spaces were available to these individuals. I got the impression the apartments were "fully functional" (bathroom, kitchen, living space). The extremely narrow hallway added to the impression that the units were not part of a larger shared space.

The fact the option exists is better than nothing. These people did not seem under duress and it was a choice they made over alternatives.

That said, it's a symptom of a wider problem when full-time workers are in spaces that small, it tells us not enough units are being built to accommodate demand. Just like SF's insane rents are symptomatic of a wider problem and not merely the fault of wealthy people. More units would help as well as more jobs in local communities instead of concentrating all the good jobs inside a small city core (i.e., they said they did this to avoid commuting, wouldn't it be nice if they didn't have to commute at all?).

And to the person who mentioned Hong Kong's "coffin beds", I agree, those were straight out of a horror film and very sad to see.

There's plenty of space in rural Japan, it's just people choose to live in Tokyo, the cultural and economic hub of the country. Rural towns are literally paying people to move back.

Being an Island has nothing to do with the crowdedness.

Hong Kong is just as crowded in Kowloon, which isn't an Island. London is pretty crazy packed too and isn't an Island.

It's clickbait. This is a quote from Prince Charles with a hard deadline of 18 months to save the planet.
To dig in on the persisted queries thing, which I mentioned in a reply to the sibling comment, have you seen practical advantages doing this vs just doing a plain old RPC style http API?

It seems to just move all the flexibility of GraphQL to dev time, and makes it only useful for a private API where you control both the client and the server. This is all fine, but then I just don't see why you'd move away from a classic API where caching is free for GETs and you don't have to go through the abstraction of GraphQL schemas and resolvers etc to do your endpoint logic, you can just do it.

One thing I could possibly see is that client side libraries like Apollo etc bring huge advantages like free client caching or other things I'm not aware of - is that the case?

Scientific community estimates annual average temperature rises. Individual peak heatwaves are beyond simulation.
This is a problem of hundreds of gigatons of a gas affecting billions of people over the course of decades across the entire planet. When you wrap your brain around that scale and mechanism you simply cannot apply a notion of "too late" to a set of scalar function that massive. That is a false-dichotomy, or more accurately a depressive form of "splitting".

> For crying out loud, one of the "solutions" for caching is to actually parse both the incoming and the outgoing requests, read the fields and decide if it needs to be cached.

That sounds exactly the same as the thing you do when caching a HTTP request to me..?

Whether the fields are in the request body or the query string is pretty much irrelevant.

I think you are just annoyed that they misappropriated HTTP to do it.
> a bunch of people in a geographic region

You make it sound as if they just happened to wind up there at random, and have nothing else in common.

Geographic proximity is incidental to belonging to a group. The land they live on is merely one of their possessions. Allowing visitors does not mean they must share their sovereignty with them.

To answer your question, in democracies, each person can vote to influence their own nation - their demos, even while abroad. You think demos should be decided purely on current location, but most countries disagree - they use mostly jus sanguinis, with the exception of jus soli in the Americas.

How long would you need "to ask yourself how much you're willing to learn about configuring servers"? Because if it's more than a couple of hours, in that time you would already be at least half-way through solving the exercises I suggested.

The parent comment to mine specifically said this issue "limits my personal growth quite a bit. I really need to figure this portion out". I am not aware of any way of figuring this out other than to actually do it - at least once - and in the process of doing, perhaps also do some further reading, depending on how deep one wishes to go.

I never said that in the future you cannot choose one of the easier turn-key solutions, but you will have acquired an idea of how those things work behind the scenes.

From the video, I laughed at the comments of hearing the other tenants.

With my windows open in Sapporo Japan during the summer I can here conversations clearly. I think from the floor below, guessing it bounces off the next building which is but a couple meters away. I know every time the baby wakes wet. During the winter with double windows I don't hear as much but I do hear my neighbor belting out the songs in the shower. Like the commentator in the video, it does create a sense of connectivity. If he's happily singing in the shower then I'm happy for him and it makes me smile every time.

However it makes me a little self conscious and I try to be quiet as possible.

Also very surprised to see a guitar in the video. Most agencies will ask if you have instruments and likely deny or limit your apartment choices.
Texas has its own grid too. In the summer it's hot, and air conditioning consumes a lot...

"Power demand is highest in summer, primarily due to air conditioning use in homes and businesses. The region's all-time record peak hour occurred on July 19, 2018, when consumer demand hit 73,259 MW. A megawatt of electricity can power about 200 Texas homes during periods of peak demand."

Scientific community can also estimate longer-term the size of the oscillations from the averages and they do that too. The simulations even include and reflect the real local behavior (the local effects), but still aren't "weather" prediction.

So it's not that the scientific community didn't warn about the "more extremes" that are going to be the results of the climate change.

https://www.science.org.au/learning/general-audience/science...

"Human-induced climate change is superimposed on natural variability"

"Extremes are expected to change in the future"

The extremes always existed, and they will continue to exist, but the level of the average moves upwards through the years. Moreover, our human perception will see the extremes as even extremer, as the absolute records for some locations are broken again and again, changing the local climate from "pleasant" to "hard to live" there. The whole world can't be covered with air conditioners, a lot of places where humans live grew because these were not necessary. Also, even when the average of the planet changes only two degrees, there will be locations where the local change will be much bigger, and we know of them too: it is known that Arctic will be especially much warmer than that, which is going to have a significant non-local effect.

The hardest to predict are only the shorter-term movements, like "how exactly the next month will be on every specific place" as they depend on too many local variables that technically can't be all observed and calculated. But it is important to note: that limitation is irrelevant for our ability to know what will happen longer term if we don't act.

Regarding Arctic again, we still track it with the satellites and update the data daily, see the changes from the previous years:

Also Antarctic:

Hmm. You need very occasionally, such as when opening a new bank account, to prove name and address - a utility or council tax bill, letter from the tax office, or even previous bank or a mortgage statement etc will generally suffice. There's a fair list of what is and isn't accepted, and it's fairly infrequently needed. Like only when creating a new and often financial relationship.

Can't remember the last time - ten years perhaps. Someone young setting up lots of things for the first time, much more often.

>Annoying when it comes to anonymity, but sometimes it's nice being able to be identified by name alone.

I love having a modern-day superpower: online search anonymity. I have one of the most common firstname/lastname combos in the western world. I don't seen to show up on Google at all, even if you include my middle name. The last time I tried the "search for yourself" experiment I got to about page 200 of Google results that weren't actually me before I gave up. Combine that with my avoidance of social media, and it's like I'm off-the-grid without actually having to be off-the-grid.
That is pretty impossible since JSX is just JavaScript, including all of its scope separation. It might be that you're not well versed in using it.
My name has 6 parts.

In Sri Lanka, it's common to have a family name and a surname. Many Sri Lankan have super long full names that often don't even fit in Western forms.

Further more, my brother and I (who we share both parents) have 4 names that are common.

In a name like "A B C X Y Z",
- A is often a name from the generation. You can judge how prestigious the family is by the name.
- B is sometimes not present, but if it is, it is an adjective to emphasize said A.
- C is often to indicate a relationship. I don't think we have more than 100 in the country.
- X and Y are the typical first and middle names.
- Z is the last name.

One advantage I can think of is that, I can share a flight ticket with my brother and father!
I think you're being optimistic. The effects of climate change on the poor will be blamed, by opportunistic populists, on everything except climate change. See e.g. how the effects of increasing concentration of wealth in the USA are used to get voters fired up over slideshows like immigration.

“I'm not a climate change guy, but ”: Farmers reckon with new reality

I see the same articles year after year. It's like the internet is on loop sometimes.
Keep in mind whenever you see these "we have X <timeframe>" quotes, they're usually an attempt to fit a complicated series of graphs into a short English sentence/headline, so they will always be wildly reductive. If your knee jerk reaction is to take the contrarian/devils-advocate counter point because you assume it can't be that reductive or simple, you are failing at media studies in the 21 century 101.

The context for the quote is, roughly speaking, the graph in the bottom left corner of this infographic put out by the IPCC in their Special Report on 1.5C:

https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/sites/2/2018/10/SPM1...

The most important thing to understand about that chart is that it is considered a baked in assumption that we will do either the blue line if we're smart (mostly just climate refugees), and the grey line if we're dumb (loooots of climate refugees and probably a bunch of famines and wars).

Every person, every family, every town, city, village, state, and country, every company, every non-profit, every board of every thing, needs to be putting their "how we get to zero by 20X0" plan in writing NOW.
I somewhat agree with your point, however I really believe that Python makes it possible to write FASTER and better software because it focuses on developer productivity. Just read the YouTube story.

There seems to be a significant incentive to getting data that fits the purpose and run it through these algorithms. It's probably not trivial, but paid experts should be able to deal with it pretty quickly.

Another factor is burning forests. Heat waves provokes fires. For example in Russia huge territories of forests are burning right now, freeing CO₂ and somewhat contributing to the heat. The worse part is that apparently government does not want to put out fire, as it is "economically disadvantageous".

London has a counter-productive policy on this.

They consider that 'micro' accommodation is exploitative and have minimum surface area regulations, all of this while having a rhetorics about "affordable housing"...

In my opinion they should focus on enforcing standards and amenities and let people be creative on the rest.

For example, there are very creative things being done in Asia (e.g. Hongkong, Japan) that create comfortable, modern flats in very small spaces by using sliding, folding, and making use of the whole volume.

It's possible that until very recently we didn't have that much salt in our food, and so we didn't have time to evolve a proper response to that. And by "very recently" I mean a mere 200-300 years ago. Consider that in many cultures spilling salt is considered a bad omen, that most likely means salt was scarce not long ago.
