> Would you do a rough energy life cycle (back of envelope) on the energy expenditures of a shipping tanker full of solar PV cells

This has been done already here in Central Europe and for the CO2 emissions alone, PV panels from China are worse than local hydro plants (~50g vs. ~20g CO2/KWh over their lifespan including production). Naturally, adding the other pollution caused by shipping makes it even less attractive.

> I think non-CO2 shipping pollution tends to pulled out a distraction device in these discussions, though I don't think that's why you're bringing it up.

On the contrary, it's grossly neglected and many of the direct negative effects of human actions on the environment we've seen in the past decades are from other causes than warming/CO2. CO2 gets so much attention because it's also a convenient way for many industries to distract from their impact on the environment. You can poison the water and soil or bury even nuclear waste underground, but as long as you buy some CO2 certificates, you're good.

Re. the list. An obscure but mildly interesting one is Yo-Mobile[1]. It
was a project funded by Russian oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov, of Brooklyn
Nets fame. Prokhorov claimed that his engineers have developed
a revolutionary supercapacitor technology, which will put any Li-Ion
battery to shame. When Prokhorov later revealed that he was running for
President Of Russia in 2012, a lot of people started thinking that
Yo-Mobile was a publicity stunt from the very beginning. Prokhorov,
rater predictably, lost the election (third place, less than 8 % of
votes). Yo-Mobile was sold to the Russian Government for €1 (one
Euro) and apparently abandoned later.

So you can of course side load apps more easily on Android, but it isn’t super easy. I guess that matters less when people are motivated.

But... if this statement were true in spirit as well then why don’t we see google seizing this PR opportunity and making statements about the superiority of their App Store’s more liberal model? Why do we instead see Google quietly removing HK-protest related apps too?

I guess the moral is that both Apple and Google will kowtow to the desires of the Chinese government in these cases and it’s mostly circumstantial that Google cannot so thoroughly lock down their systems
It seems like this app is also ephemeral? you just uninstall it after they've ripped all your data. So as usual you should cross borders with an empty phone, no?
I'm going to focus on the phrase "false alarmism".

It is super foreign to me, since I look at IPCC reports, live temp/precip reports, I look at meta discussions around why reports aren't lining up to observations... everything there is mind-numbingly terrible. You literally have mental health problems emerging in related fields, like PTSD. The more you know about this problem, the more and more terrifying and depressing it gets.

I don't know that you have an accurate and fair history of the science of global warming, or appreciate the degree of knowledge we have built up - particularly in the last 20 years, as the urgency of the situation has become clearer.

I used the analogy of a Ford Pinto (1970s tech) to a Tesla Model 3 (current tech) to drive home the gulf between the knowledge we had 50 years ago and what we have now.

I will remind you that Steve Jobs, when faced with a pancreatic cancer diagnosis, chose alternative medicine and diet vs conventional medical treatment. I just think that anecdote is instructive.

What predictions? The predictions about ozone layer depletion and how to address it successfully? Those were accurate.

Predictions about warming and sea level rise? Those are accurate.

> According to some

Who?

Don't use weasel words[1] like "all the predictions" and "according to some"

You clearly have specific issues in mind, so why don't you let us know what they are so we can address them, and not have to rely on your interpretation of "all the predictions" and whoever "some" of these people are.

I think this is all done client side, manually, through a browser extension. They aren't providing you with an API to retrieve this data live afterwards.

Still a cool project but I think this limits a lot of its utility. Providing an API to access the data as a service would be a lot more profitable.
I had some pretty authoritarian teachers at the Montessori school I went to. Maybe you could argue that they weren't really Montessori, but they were advertised as such and attracted families on that basis.
If you benefit from users visiting your website, then post it there. Quality content on a domain name you own will benefit your site’s overall SEO (expertise, authority, trust). Then tweet it and share it on LinkedIn.

Posting it on medium would be like giving them all those benefits, while getting a very short burst of visibility.

If you absolutely must post on medium, then post only a summary of your main blog. Then link it (“read the full article here”) to the full blog that’s hosted on your owned domain (but don’t link back to medium from your main blog).
1-7 of these features exist in C#, and in C# you get a real type system. C# isn't even my favorite language that has all these features, just the most mainstream.

8-10 are of dubious usefulness. It seems they break the principle of least astonishment[1], but maybe they're idiomatic in Go.

So yeah, still waiting to see any reason to think Go's popularity is anything more than hype and fanboyism.

Man, I miss those simple computer systems. I used to go to other peoples' desks and type the word "end" in column 100 of the first line of their program. They'd go mad with frustration trying to figure out why their program always ran instantly, with zero errors and zero output. Or I'd like them watch me type in my 6-digit numeric password, but they still couldn't log in as me because I was slyly holding down the alt key as I typed, so the password was really a single extended ascii character...

Getting up to all those hijinks gave me a love of computers that really set the direction my life would take.

Ask HN: Why do all recruiters start their messages with “Hope you are well”?
It's not as if there aren't other ways to express a similar sentiment, but I'd say 80% of my recruiter emails on Linked In start with some variation of "Hope you're well" or "Hope all is well". Is there a massive training program out there for recruiters that tells them to do that or some template in recruiting software that uses that phrase?
My guess is that all of these companies see it as an innovative space. Either the goal is pure prestige or to find some niche thing they can patent and sell to everyone else. They have to build the whole car because they have to.

I think of it as, "most of the people who made money during the gold rush were those who sold shovels." They're looking to find the right shovel, but need the whole process in-house to do that.
I'm not sure that's a great example, given that AWS mostly runs on RHEL-based OSs and Debian is still preferred for Docker. Ubuntu did not "take over the server market".

Aside from the expert suggestions here don't forget that job hiring is, on the whole, a subjective process. Every company wants what they want for their own reasons. And they may just not want what you've got at the moment you apply, no matter how good you are. My point is that there is no best #1 portfolio in the world, only the best they can find at the moment.

I remember using early Torch (in Lua! As someone who knew only Matlab!) in 2015-ish; and then using Keras (which is supposed to be an abstraction layer over NN frameworks) and finding it much more verbose and complicated to use without recurring to code snippets.

Perhaps it’s the nature of the game that changed with many new kinds of architectures and so on. But maybe Keras is already overengineered for someone who just wants to make thumbnail sized GAN stuff at home.

I would say so, but it's more of a political than a kinetic displacement process. You win when the population would unilaterally have you in charge. I think the major challenge of 21st century warfare will be building better infrastructure in the middle of a war zone.

It only makes sense that Chinese companies should have to play by our rules. In large part US companies have been happy to tap into that Chinese behemoth <insert Google-China relationship here>, but I can't help but to wonder if the CCP will double down on giving favorability to their native companies. We saw a little bit of this with the (albeit highly unpopular) tariff back-and-forths. However China cannot operate in a vacuum. Their economy is very highly dependent on the US.

Pretty sure it's just the one - assertion of "proof" where they should have said "evidence". I don't know why your tone is so antagonistic.
PyTorch wraps THNN, not Torch. Moreover, even if this was true, it wouldn't matter at all. Practically 0% of the overhead is related to Python in the first place, all of the time is dominated by the underlying C implementation.

The point is, these weren't bad games by execution, but because of idea.

Adventure games were never really meant to be big budget, because games rely on volume to bring profit - and competition kills it.
And gameplay possible in pure adventure games is very limited.
Even pure puzzle games fare better.

Yet here was an attempt to make them expensive while not bringing compelling gameplay with it.

It's pretty easy, in fact when I got a new phone and tried to install the f-droid apk, android took me directly to the setting to toggle side loading apps. The permissions seemed even a little more fine grained than before with a seperate one to allow f-droid to install apps also, but still only one tap away once I actually tried to do it.
Serious question. This seems like a lot of work. Why not just get like a burner phone and be done with it?

I'd like to do that, honestly, but I need navigation or I'm completely helpless in the city.
I had a Qt app for MeeGo and Symbian, and later ported and released it to Android too. I didn't like the use experience, so I rewrote in native Android some five years ago or so. Code was fine, but the UI was a lot of work and still felt a bit out of place.
I think we are in the same boat. Mine's in the knee and I have microfracture to "fix" it but I think if the paper is correct then it does mean hyaline naturally regrows because there is no fibrous cartilage in those joints so this result should only apply to hyaline, no?

- How I solved those problems

- Useful techniques and snippets I came up with

> Why can't our "betters" resolve such a problem instead of side-stepping it. That's what a good person would do.

Because our politicians do not serve the population first. They serve their respective parties and their donors first, no matter the country.

Additionally, improving education systems is hard, expensive and takes longer than a typical election cycle, while it is easy, cost-saving and fast to gut education systems. When shit hits the fan after ~10 years, the politicians who decided to gut the systems often enough are no longer in office.
I'm pretty happy with my Dell with Ubuntu, but it's really good to know there are other options out there, and I'll definitely be looking at these next time I need a new system.

Detection is always a cat and mouse game. Using an extension in a real browser (instead of electron/headless chrome) is probably one of the hardest to detect because it requires running a "real" browser.

Of course somebody will find a way to detect it, then the extension maker will patch it, and the cycle will continue.
I was thinking the same thing. Commit after each discrete task, with a meaningful commit message. Then your log becomes your journal. Maintaining a separate journal is just double-entry bookkeeping, and if I wanted to do that I would have become an accountant.
"Hate crimes" in some countries also comprise expression of hate. Hate crimes can be a useful designation for research and social intervention, but prosecuting them more harshly is literally policing thought as a secondary offense and makes the population malleable to further authoritarianism. It's a bailey type of argument because criticizing it means you must be sympathetic to racists.
I don't agree that taxing should be higher than spending. Debt is a powerful tool that every country uses and the US would be lagging behind if not for using debt. The global economy and power struggle is competitive - we'd be tremendously disadvantaged if we didn't use debt.

Unlike Erlang/Go/certain Clojure libs, the JavaScript flavor of async is primarily around red-blue functions. A lot of stuff is explicit and not handled by the runtime. A single async keyword can easily taint the entire codebase.

More importantly, frontend is extremely demanding in terms of UI. While for e.g. QT, WxWidgets, native GUI toolkits, it is perfectly acceptable for things to look the same. On the modern web, every significant app is expected to have a "design language" and not look like each other. On the other hand, HTML by default isn't very stateful, sure it has some stateful components like checkboxes but in general you have to store the state in code. And every code base needs a custom UI. You end up with a state space explosion. That is also why frontend frameworks these days are trying to force things into finite state machines i.e. Redux, Elm architecture. Whatever term you prefer. Half of your UI codebase often have absolutely nothing to do with business logic and instead animations and user experience code to make things feel "slick". A ASP.NET WebForms just ain't going to cut it if you wanna build a SaaS. Sad because tons of money have been wasted on essentially marginal improvements on user experience, but good if you are the consumer of course.

I use to have the sources somewhere but I'm not finding them at the moment. So let's just do this as a mind exercise.

Take into consideration that while ships are tremendously more efficient, they travel significantly more miles. When comparing a single shipping container, a cargo ship burns 0.3 gallons of bunker fuel per hour and a semi truck burns 10 gallons of diesel. If you add distance into the calculation, a cargo ship from Brazil to NYC takes 122 gallons of bunker fuel while something produced locally takes 1/12 of that in diesel. Further more, bunker fuel exceptionally worse than diesel when comparing emissions.

This is just for the transport side of things too. The electricity production in many other countries produce an increased amount of green house gasses compared to the United States.
