> Individual scientists get predictions wrong, consensus generally doesn’t since the dawn of modern science.

Not if "consensus" is defined so that the current climate change alarmism counts as "consensus".

If the consensus is based on repeated controlled experiments that verify predictions to high accuracy, then yes, that kind of consensus generally doesn't make wrong predictions. In fact such a consensus almost never makes wrong predictions. But such a consensus is also rare in science, because it's very hard to make enough repeated controlled experiments to high enough accuracy to justify it.

> global cooling was a minority view and the consensus at the time was warming.

In the 1970s? No, it wasn't. The experts I mentioned were scientists.

> Even the very first IPCC report from 1990 proved accurate in its predictions decades later

I have no idea where you're getting that from. Those predictions are among the ones that are now falsified by the data. Even the IPCC itself implicitly admitted that in the AR5, by no longer claiming that its projections of climate change up to 2100 were based on climate models; they now claim those projects are based on "expert opinion", without specifying how that expert opinion was arrived at.
There inherent inefficiency in making and burning hydrogen is daunting. But there now is a larger cost gap opening between wind and fossil fuels. If that gap gets big enough, hydrogen could be a good way to store and transport wrong energy.

>Her group is calling for the natural gas system to carry a mandated share of renewable and decarbonated gases, including biomethane, synthetic methane and hydrogen, starting at 1% in 2021 and rising to 10% by 2030.

Those are most likely volume percent... methane/natural gas has 3x the energy density of hydrogen so it pretty much does not have any effect on emissions but is mostly a publicity stunt.

At the end of the day it's a matter of infrastructure. BEVs benefit from a pre-established electric grid, end of story. Sure that grid might need improvements/hardening/modernization as BEVs become more popular, but the fundamental infrastructure exists.

Hydrogen needs entirely separate refineries/production facilities, specialized transport vehicles and fuel stations, all of which must be built entirely from scratch and negate many of its efficiency benefits. A viable hydrogen vehicle market would likely need tens if not hundreds of billions in initial capital just to get off the ground and be self-sustaining; and even if such an effort was politically feasible why not put that money into BEVs where it will arguably do more good?

You're asking the wrong question. AMP isn't bad, Google ranking AMP pages over equally-fast non-AMP pages is bad. But Google's main goal here is to preload/render content without the content knowing it is being preloaded, so that the page appears to load instantly when the user clicks on it.

What I think actually needs to happen is a standard for deferred navigation where the UA can be told to load a bunch of resources and then choose one of them to actually navigate to (basically what AMP does). The problem here is that Google is (as we type here) actively coming up with horrible standards like signed exchanges so that they never have to send users away from their own domain, so I don't think they would be fans of a standardized system that killed AMP.
Ask HN: Why are non-technical managers paid more than engineers?
This has been the standard at every software company I've worked at so far.

There are 2 open positions: Software Engineer, and Project Manager.

The Project Manager position is filled in 2-4 weeks. This person is offered more compensation than the engineers they're managing. Often their skillset appears (to engineers at least) to consist only of the most basic skills required to function in an office environment. The emerging pattern is that the winning candidate is chosen based mostly on their physical presentation, and their ability to "win conversations."

The Software Engineer position is filled in 3 months if we're lucky, and then stays open in perpetuity, because the need for engineers outpaces the company's ability to hire them. We screen thousands of resumes trying to find somebody who's even worth interviewing. We hire a recruiting agency, throw money at Greenhouse, conduct on-site rounds with a 90% fail rate, and pay mid-5-figure finder fees to Triplebyte and Hired.

The Software Engineer has a skillset that is beyond the comprehension of most people, and is so large and varied that some part of it is even beyond the comprehension of their peers and vice-versa. There's often a lifetime of work behind the development of that skillset, since they were in their teens or even earlier, most of it above and beyond any standard educational curriculum.

Software companies would seem to be one of the most (if not the most) extreme examples of supervisors being more replaceable than their direct reports in hiring.

So why are software companies so willing to offer more pay for a managerial role that is easy to hire for, and so unwilling to offer more pay for a technical role that is one of the hardest to hire for? Why does it seem like market forces just don't apply here?
1) I find it amusing that an article regarding the supposed "Tragedy of the Commons" uses several Wikipedia quotes
2) The Tragedy of the Commons was thoroughly analyzed, with a great deal of empirical, historical data, by Elinor Ostrom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elinor_Ostrom Yes, one component of successful, long-lived common resources is related to group size. But you don't have to take my word for it, read her book, "Governing the Commons".

About 50% of the population in germany are renters, not owners. And for the other 50% owners, obviously many just own a unit in a multi family building, not the whole propery.

For manyyyyy of these people there simply is no option to conveniently fast charge their electric vehile at home. No renter will want to invest in a pricy wallbox at a property that they don't own - even if the landlord would allow such a wallbox to be installed (most don't want any modifications to their building). And for the apartment/unit owners, a german court has decided that all the other unit owners must agree to such a wallbox being installed, so thats another obstacle.

The web site/app logic is written in PHP, not C. The runtime for the vast majority of PHP deployments happens to be written in C.

Additionally while I did say interpreted earlier that really isn't true anymore. PHP runtimes these days tend to break the PHP script down into byte-code. There are alternative runtimes for PHP just as there is Java or .NET.

There are at least 4 I can think of. Two of those aren't C (C++ and .NET). However there is nothing stopping you from writing a runtime that runs on the JVM / Lisp / Go / Brainfuck / Lol code / 68k assembler.

No, it is clearly bad. You seem to even agree. The stated reason for creating AMP may be good, but the technology and standard itself is bad.
As noted in the article, hydrogen is currently unfortunate, because the most economical way to produce it is through steam reforming of natgas. Germany already has supply issues with natural gas, not just the pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Electrolysis of water is another method, but requires a lot of electricity. Using it in the short term is highly wasteful, when the source fuels could just be used directly.

Nonetheless, on a longer timescale, hydrogen effectively becomes a roundabout instrument of space-, time- and demand-shifted energy storage, but potentially bulk-conveyable using portions of existing gas pipeline infrastructure. This compares favorably to batteries (which are heavy, solid, contain other commodities, and are non-bulk-conveyable in a comparable way), and other energy storage schemes (which are immobile or lack effective the distribution of work). It's broadly similar to hydrocarbon natgas and syngas, but without the direct release of carbon during actual combustion.

The hope in this effort to encourage progress and deployment of hydrogen-based technologies, infrastructure, and business models, and tolerate some short-term wastefulness to target a more favorable goal in the long term.

Incentive models are usually very easily explained by comparing groups that take either road A or road B and see the results.

If we look at top 50% highest earners among men and compare with the bottom 50%, who has:

Highest Social status. Has more children. Bigger social support system. Live longer. Better health. Feeling of happiness and fulfillment.

For comparison do the same with women and take the top and bottom 50% and collect the same data.

From this simple data driven study we can prove if there exist an incentive in the form of pure outcomes between focusing on activities that raise income compared to activities of social value but without any monetary rewards. We also get a gendered perspective on the question.

The title of the article is unclear, they mostly talk about increasing the mix of hydrogen with methane on the natural gas grid. This requires new ways of production but is re-entering the existing gas infrastructure for transport.

Most boilers and gas hobs are fine up to 10% hydrogen instead of 100% methane.

It's a good way to reduce the carbon footprint of heating by 10% (edit: after reading the message from aurelwu, this doesn't make sense, it won't reduce by 10, but by less than that), assuming the hydrogen has been produced in a reasonable way (excess solar and wind for instance).
I keep getting raged at over e-mail/github because end-packagers and some users don't comprehend why it's broken.

Long term effects often have early outliers (the tail of the graph leading up to a long term problem) - we would likely be seeing something measurable already if there were a very serious problem.

And for many users, it's a very good bet that vaping is safer than long term smoking.
> I was curious if the Klong book just covered an intro to array programming in Klong, or if it also covered how you implemented it in C or your high level C like language?

The Klong book is just an introduction to array programming. The Klong compiler is a rather simple recursive descent parser emitting ad-hoc abstract machine code and the execuction model is basically some glue between the functions implementing the verbs of the language. I did not think that its implementation is particularly interesting and therefore did not cover it in the book.

I hope you find the time for your studies and implementing your own array language!

The logic is written in PHP just as much as it is written in C. The logic is actually written in the language the creator used. Which is the wordpress UI.

Is their research on people who have ONLY vaped? Most people who vape are former/current smokers. For me, I vape when not drinking and smoke cigarettes when drinking. This means I smoke about 2-3 packs a month, the rest is vape.

It's harm reduction for me and allows me to still perform at a reasonable cardio level in beer leagues. Now my evidence is shotty, but my lungs "feel" better and I have a noticeable improvement in cardio when I haven't touch a cigarette in a few days and have just been vaping. My ability to stay on the ice (I play hockey) is noticeably better. I don't start getting really tired until the third period, whereas with cigarettes I am dead by the second period.

> It is, but you're opening the object, not the descriptor (which doesn't even exist yet).

pidfd_open(2) is still a proposed interface, and isn't in mainline yet (and if I'm remembering the ML discussions correctly, it might not even go in any time soon). The currently-available interfaces are pidfd_send_signal(2), CLONE_PIDFD, and the new pidfd_poll(2) support for pidfds. In that context, calling it "pidfd_" makes more sense (since you're operating on existing handles) and thus pidfd_open(2) also makes sense because otherwise the naming would be needlessly inconsistent.

There are also several pre-existing APIs that are called process_ (such as process_vm_{read,write}v(2)) which use pids and not pidfds -- so calling the new APIs process_ (or even proc_) could lead to confusion. From memory the first couple of iterations of the patchset changed the name several times until we landed on pidfd_ and nobody really complained much afterwards.

Also (and now I'm just nitpicking), mkfifo(3) doesn't give you an fd -- it's just a wrapper around mknod(2). But I do get your point.

> I'm really amused that you're so excited about it and find it so cool.

I might be a little bit more biased towards thinking it's cool, since the developer is a good friend of mine and we went back and forth on the design quite a lot (the fact he managed to get /proc/$pid fds to have these features is pretty remarkable and it's unbelievably cool that it didn't require having multiple classes of fds -- if you'd have asked me a year ago I would've said it'd be very hard to get right and would never be merged because it'd be so invasive). But thinking that it's neat isn't mutually exclusive with thinking that (something like) it should've been implemented a long time ago.
That's an interesting point. i just assumed that having a mix 90% methane, 10% hydrogen would reduce the carbon footprint by 10%.

But what you say makes perfect sense, it all depends on how much energy we generate from the mix.

Is there any literature or numbers on the subjects I could read somewhere?

It is often interesting how things are framed in international media when you know the local discussion.

To put this in perspective: The role of hydrogen in the German energy system is extremely small. There are a couple of test plants, but that's about it.
Yeah, lately there have been a few calls for more investments in that area, some articles discussing a larger role in the future. But it's certainly not at the center of the debate. The headline seems heavily overblown.
Does anyone know how is Haskell funded? I sent an email to the "committee" to know more about financial and legal information about Haskell, which should be a non-profit organization I believe, but had no response so far.
That’s funny. I’m some debates related to nuclear power very recently, I had the thought that it’s probably better to focus on using excess power from renewables to generate synthetic gas and simply use the existing gas pipelines and power plants.

The world still needs hydrocarbons. They need to be made renewably. That might only be affordable when wind and solar is overproducing, ie we’re getting “free” energy. Producing those hydrocarbons solves a lot of problems, including balancing the power output from those renewable power plants

I’m not so sure about hydrogen specifically. It just doesn’t have great properties. It’s just that it’s pretty easy to make renewably. Making synthetic hydrocarbon gases is harder, but it helps capture CO2 (at least temporarily) and is more energy dense and versatile. We also have better hydrogen fuel cells, but that could also change with time. Besides, I think this article was mostly about burning gases.

I think this is a good direction for Germany.
