Although I've been running Linux on my desktop for a long time, I indeed also kept a Windows install around. I've tried (and succeeded) in using Wine over the years, but it can be tricky to setup, and known good setups from e.g. 2004 at some point stopped working and I kind of gave up on it.

Proton changed all that: zero config compatibility for many of my Windows games, even demanding ones like you mention. Simply fantastic. December 31 2018 I removed my Windows partition so in that sense, also for me 2019 is the year of the Linux Desktop.

Megacorps have nothing to worry about. They have enormous patent war chests and routinely violate each other's patents without even thinking twice.

I was struck by one anecdote in the article, relating to Zimbabwe’s internet shutdown in the midst of a banknote shortage, which left many Zimbabweans unable to use the internet-based cash-analogue they habitually used in lieu of cash, and how this caused one businessman to “throw away half of his perishable goods”. WTF? Sell them on a “credit basis”! At worst you get nothing (which is equivalent to throwing them away, monetarily, with the added advantage that you actually are helping keep people fed) and in the best case leads to people settling their debt once the crisis has passed.

>Personal use of passenger vehicles accounts for a tiny fraction of transportation related CO2 emissions. The overwhelming majority comes from cargo ships and associated logistics.

while this might represent a small fraction of the global total emissions, the CO2 (and other harmful particles) produced by cars is much more detrimental to human health since it will be concentrated in the cities and near humans live.

The cargo emissions should be less harmful as there are not many people living in the oceans and algae effect should also be considered as it produces most of the oxygen we breath.

You say "this" and then written something completely different to what I wrote.

As I said, AFAIK the right to be forgotten doesn't give you the right to delete any information. It just gives you the right to remove some information from appearing in search engines.

An example I remember that happened in Netherlands is of a doctor that lost her medical license. When you searched her name, the first result was an article on some news site that she lost her license.

On appeal she got it back and using the right to be forgotten she removed that news article from search results. The article is still there on that news site it just doesn't appear in search results when you search her name.

London Underground does bring in more revenue 2.864bn than it spends 2.041bn, and subsidises Streets and Buses to the tune of 0.889bn (with a little coming from media revenue too).

It's still sponges, not patches. They absorb the water, and you have to manage them. If you don't actively store them, the water will leak out. If you do actively store them and then hand off storage to someone else, the water will leak out when that someone stops paying attention.

The way to sequester carbon with trees is to cut them down when they're grown, and bury them somewhere where there's no air and no one will touch them for thousands of years, or otherwise store them in perpetuity while preventing decay or burning.
I expect what they mean is Waze uses real-time traffic data for routing. Google Maps displays traffic conditions but I don't remember that impacting the routing it gives you. Last time I used it, it just marked road sections as high-traffic but didn't truly re-route around on the fly.

> This assumption is false. Either the flows are written in code, are you have to have them in your brain every time you are reading some code which can handle 10 flows.

No, it's not. Your interpretation of it is wrong, though. No code means no bugs, this is true. Now, write a new feature, unless the code is flawless, the code-base will certainly have more bugs than before, this is true. Now, write a linked-list, unless the code is flawless, the code-base will have more bugs than if using the one in the language std-lib. About language features, writing 5 implementations of a linked-list for each type instead of a generic one that it's type checked will certainly contain more bugs as it's more error prone to write the same things 5 times and keep it updated.

> Less code means less readable.

This is ridiculous. Otherwise, we'd all be using assembly. About Go, the lack of generics and simple error propagation is detrimental to being readable. Every function can fail, you don't say!. You're manually propagating the error instead of handling it here, you don't say!. That's what I think every time I go through some Go code-base.
I think you are too focused on the individual. Reducing your personal meat consumption, your personal emissions and so on is nice and all but it is not going to be enough. You are also embedded in a number of social structures and institutions and those will have to change too if we want to be able to claim to be "guilt free" and those changes require personal involvement.
You're speaking to one.
It's not objectively worse, any more than road diets make streets objectively worse, or sidewalks, or protected bike lanes, or speed limits. Making roads worse for through traffic makes them better for other uses. It comes down to what your priorities are, and right now, through design, they're choosing to prioritize the very through traffic they're complaining about.

It's not unfair, and it's accurate. The design decisions the area chose as a whole, like handicapping public transportation, led to this situation. With robust public transit, you wouldn't have a huge flood of desperate car commuters driven to find any possible shortcut.

This is correct. If we ignore catastrophic climate change, the next worst thing is being directly exposed to personal transportation pollutants - amongst which CO2 is pretty benign but there is far worse stuff.

Business passengers are the majority of airline profits. Airlines will gladly fly economy class half empty as long as the business class seats are sold out. Hell, some airlines have the business and premium economy cabin taking up over half the plane's available square footage.

I do remember pre-SO times.

Companies who developed libraries and frameworks had to do proper technical writing, otherwise people wouldn’t be able to use their technology. Microsoft did amazing job writing their MSDN, but others did well, too. Linux man pages, Java JDK docs, and similar sources contained more than enough information for a motivated reader to start using their tech, get stuff done, and be productive.

A bit later, many of the vendors created their own Q&A forums, in addition to writing documentation. Such forums are focused on a single tech, so web developers don’t come to game dev forums to close other people questions they don’t understand due to lack of background. Happens every day on modern SO.

I share the same feeling with you, but I gradually grow out of it. Why? it happens all the time. Information will decay (and it's probably a Poisson process).

Let's start from events happened in the ancient past

1. 尚书，the Book of Documents

It has been largely lost. The "New Text" version is only a portion left. The "Recovered Old Text" version was made up by someone. It was said the there used to be 3240 articles and Confucius reduced it to 120 articles. Where did the rest go?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Documents

2. Also it was mentioned in the Book of Documents that "唯殷先人，有典有冊"(my translation: your Yin ancestors have scrolls and books).

Yin is another name of Shang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shang_dynasty

So where did those books go?

Where did the Xia and earlier documents go?

3. Needless to say: the First Emperor burned a lot of books. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_of_books_and_burying_o...

Interestingly, the Tsinghua Bamboo Slips are documents preserved prior to the First Emperor burning of the books. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsinghua_Bamboo_Slips

Also I think it's "lucky" that Qin reunified China. Qin uses Small Seal Scripts which is closer to the Large Seal Scripts that Zhou uses. The other states? Their font changed too much. Chinese would have been different had one of the other states won.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_seal_script

BTW the Zhongshan state's scripts are very artistic.

4. The Nine Cauldrons

Where did they go? Lost in the river? When the Zhou king left the capital, he probably brought a lot of documents with him. Where did they go?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Tripod_Cauldrons

5. 石鼓文， The Stone Drum Writings

I call it China's Rosetta Stone.

They were still intact by Song dynasty. People cherished them so much and even embedded gold to the strokes. What happened next? When the northern invaders came, they cut out the gold pieces and in the process destroyed the writings. Sigh....

https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%9F%B3%E9%BC%93%E6%96%87

I will stop here. There are so many of these events in more recent history. It's the nature I guess....
Side loading is a threat to Apples control over all iOS and similar AppStore devices. If I didn’t want to comply with the very far-reaching requirements for e g in-app stores, I could just ask my users to side load my app. If for example Audible did this, it’d be a real threat.
> But usually people don't go into neighborhoods they don't know. Locals might cut through a city but others won't.

But they do, if the jam is big enough. Traffic signs literally exist to allow it - their job is to tell you how to navigate roads you don't know. All it takes to detour through a neighbourhood you don't know is paying attention and having a little patience.
Polititical opposition is also clearly a part of the issue, and much of that may be entrenched interests, including airlines.

I'd like to see the full breakdown, I suspect the story may be interesting.

As far as I understand, current state-of-the-art is between $100-200 per ton CO2 (see https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(18)30225-3). This is from the CO2 capture company Bill Gates has invested in, FWIW.
> I could swear that this has not always been the exact definition

Following the "paper trail", the chronology is:

1. the "Open Source Definition", last modification in 2007, is based on "The Debian Free Software Guidelines", I suppose v1.1

2. the "Debian Free Software Guidelines" v1.1 was ratified in 2004, and is based on v1.0

3. the "Debian Free Software Guidelines" v1.0 was ratified in 1997

so ultimately, in strict terms (but that's arguable), the "Open Source Definition" is newer.

> will burn about 30 liters of bunker fuel.. to travel 1 meter

That's either a typo or a thinko. 30 litres per metre would be 30,000 litres (a guess; 25 tons?) of bunker per kilometre.

From your own link "These mammoth engines [of the emma maersk] consume approx 16 tons of fuel per hour or 380 tons per day while at sea."

I don't have time to work it out but 30 litres per KM would be less wrong anyway.
That's an interesting option. It's been proposed and on the table for nearly 60 years -- M. King Hubbert first made the suggestion in the early 1960s.

All the research I'm aware of, up to and including Google's synfuel startup, struggle with cost-effectiveness though.

CO2 from seawater may be more energy-efficient than from air, but either way, scaling cost-effectively hasn't happened.
