There are legal-related concerns, but not precisely due-process ones. Monica goes into it more on her blog, particularly in the comments of this post [1] where she discusses the possibility of taking legal action against the company. She feels that StackExchange libelled her by making public accusations of specific & evidently inaccurate bad conduct to the press [2] while making themselves unavailable for any sort of communication and resolution.

As far as due process goes, there was an established process on the website for removing moderators, which StackExchange did not follow in her removal. Nothing legally questionable about it since they can run their site how they will, but certainly questionable enough to burn goodwill.

Flying is a large source of CO2 emissions and we need to lower CO2 emissions. We have a myriad of experts telling us what to do in light of the climate changing fundamentally but no one listens.

Greta Thunberg is only here to remind every grown up to be better than how they currently are. The experts are here for the solutions. Like putting a price on CO2 emissions. Greta is only filling the spot that politicians don't want to fill. Because it is unpopular to tell everyone to consume less.

Fly less or not at al is a good thing to say because one flight takes up a lot of the budget everyone on this planet has for consumption.

The iPhone is not as impactful in its CO2 footprint as flying so telling people to take care with flying is perfectly ok.

Making laws to increase repairability is also a good measure, so demanding that isn't bad either.
This reminds me of Brussels, a lot of "independent" bakeries basically get either frozen or already baked bread delivered early morning from somewhere else, probably a big bakery that exists on the outskirts of the city that does industrial size quantities.
You said it yourself:

> people choose the cheapest product the cows be damned.

When vfc1 says "One thing implies the other", the charitable interpretation of that statement is likely "given the way our society is structured at this time, it's inevitable that this result will obtain".

When taking care of cows means spending more money on their welfare than some competitor, and when people are willingly disinterested in the welfare of the cows whose milk they consume, we have a good-old-race-to-the-bottom.

The most powerful work I've read on the topic is the 1975 classic "Animal Liberation" by a philosopher Peter Singer. In it he uses excerpts from literature written by the industry (presumably the most-rosy picture you can find of the conditions of animals in the factory farms) to show how horrible the conditions are (and to make an argument why we ought to abstain from consuming and why we ought to try to dismantle the system).
These incel attacks on Greta is getting tiresome. If you care to listen to her she has a lot of suggestions. You should be proud of her efforts.
Can anybody help me try to understand it? I imagine they play a white noise and use their directional mics to get the result of interference of white noise and breathing sounds. But "noise is reflected back" makes it seem like radar. Why is it not sonar/radar then?

This is such a first world outlook on things. It's easy to guilt people when you live in Europe or North America and have easy access to everything you can need. Other people need to go to the other end of the world for education or their jobs. Why on earth should they be penalised with month-long voyages across the Atlantic?
This is not an opinion thing. If you’re saying that type checkers can reject code at no worse than the same rate as dynamic runtimes then you are just plain wrong. In any case the burden is on you to show this with the slightest sketch of a proof to how this is possible. And what is this magic type system that can do this, bc it sounds like some super AI.

The reason I’m confident in
my objections is because this is what I get from static typing fundamentalists: never a concession as to its cons and costs. Is it that static typers can’t see the relative costs bc they are not using the full power of dynamic languages?

driving yourself to the same location is generally worse for the environment

Curious what this is based on, taking road construction, car ownership, etc into the calculation? Because as for fuel consumption clearly it depends - if you're a family, taking 1 car is generally going to be more fuel efficient.

I think the idea rests on the notion that the stars all obey the same physical laws and are made of the same types of atoms, but that the timing of the motion of atoms in distant stars is not synchronized with our own. I like to think of the physics of synchrotron light in this context. When a particle accelerates, as in an atomic clock, it emits light.
We should feel guilty. Especially for any flights that are frivolous. We should also feel guilty for our excessive meat consumption, our excessive usage of cars, and for all forms of waste. And we should continue to feel guilty until we resolve the problem.

China has a population of 1.4bn people[1] and produces 10.87tn tonnes of CO2 per year[2], whereas the US has roughly 25% of the population[3] but produces 5.107tn tonnes of CO2[2]. We in the developed western world need to take drastic steps to reduce our impact, and then encourage other nations to do the same.

I'm still not entirely clear on why this is a good thing. Is it a preference - sort of hygienic unhygienic macros - for data structures?

Do you end up with old data in old schema - or is there some implicit conversion? Is a UPDATE that drops a column equivalent to dropping a column - and can you roll it back normally?
I guess. But for many you learned from your parents or someone who knows and you usually pick a small subset that you are sure of

If you look at a page with our most poisonous mushrooms in Sweden: http://svampguiden.com/giftsvampar/lista/

and compare it with edible ones: http://svampguiden.com/matsvampar/lista/

As someone who rarely picks I would never pick a white mushroom for example because it is high risk even there are edible variants. However I'm sure when it comes to chanterelles and penny buns for example and those (+ one or two more) are plenty for me.
And these are insanely expensive to deal with over time when you compare to the alternative.
Their model animal is a fly (Drosophila). I can imagine that impacting the claims significantly. Insects and mammals differ quite a lot.

I wouldn’t expect the same results in mammals (or any animals really).
> but what happens when they get old and die? Bacteria and fungi release the carbon back into the air.

And at that point the forest is in steady state: growth of new trees offsets the decay of old ones.

Planting trees is only a temporary solution; you only get to count the credits once. Eventually much of the world will be covered in forests and different solutions will be needed.

But it's an extremely valuable temporary solution. More forests are a good thing, and hopefully by then electric airplanes will be a cheaper option than offsets.
I've always been somewhat skeptical of the offsets. It isn't as though there is a company (or non-profit) that is sucking an equivalent amount of CO2 out of the air. Planting trees only goes so far. I guess that generating funds to pursue other reductions is worthwhile, but it doesn't really undo the damage from the CO2 that was emitted in the first place.

The cynic in me thinks it is simply a mechanism for people to buy away their guilt without actually accomplishing anything.

why aren’t offsets just baked into the price of all air travel?

Sounds like a carbon tax to me, which I am completely in favour of. If the proceeds are used to develop renewable energy or subsidise electric car purchase or other such things, so much the better. Call it a carrot and stick approach.
About Cooking Pasta, Writing JavaScript and Working Remotely
Good article. The division between different types of documentation is something that I've understood intuitively, but never codified in this way.
We also can produce energy without fossile fuels and burning coal. I am not saying we should not stop putting out carbon into the atmosphere. I am saying that the idea that we shouldn't travel as much etc will never fly (pun intended).

That is why you never see politicians and "influencers" etc live as they preach. Because people need to use a car, people need to fly and take boats.

What we can do is produce energy in a better way and consume it in a better way. If that means banning cars and planes that burn fuel, so be it. I am not against that. What I am against is the idea that we should stop doing stuff because our environment requires it.

I am working remotely, so I use my car more seldom that I belive many people that commutes every day. Yet, swedish companies that claim to be so environmental friendly seems to be very hostile to remote work in general.

Stuff like that is what I am against. Don't tell people how to live and then do the reverse yourself. I agree we should act now but the environmental movement is really more anti-progress than pro environment at least in Sweden in my opinion.

True though I suspect that that the length of the pipeline and the cost of a cache miss will be quite different between ARM versus Intel.

While, I'm a big fan not not writing poorly performing code, as you get death by a 1000 cuts. Is it not better to test rather than educated guess?

ie The reason there is alot of poor performing code, is not a lack of understanding at a low level about caches and branch prediction, but a lack of care about performance?
If I were the airline,I would reserve some upgrades for people who have never flown business class before, regardless of their bid, to give them a taste of what they’re missing by spending less. I bet that bid system is tracked carefully to see how many bid winners subsequently pay up front for business class.
Should people who know their children will suffer in numerous other ways be having children?
Well this is not the way. We don't want or need to improve environment by 'reducing travel, consumption or construction' i.e. destroying the economy and going back to stone age. Goal is to optimize resource use to improve environment while INCREASING all of that steadily.
Obviously you dont like to be told to "not do that" if you believe technology will solve all our problems. However, most people do not share your view.

And just pointing out that the focus on not flying might be irrational, does not make it okay to fly as much as you want.

“Something funny is going on in these [Facebook] comments.”
Bach is celebrated for himself, not his historical importance. He reached his current status as one of the most celebrated classical composers in the Romantic era, well after his Baroque style had become old-fashioned.

Bach is so celebrated because it has a precision to it, and because all of the musical quality is right there on the page. It's the exact opposite of modern pop music, for example, which is production-driven, and relies much more on dramatic musical gestures.

> I regularly order locally-produced milk from very small scale farmers

Not a specialist here, but I think I'm generally well informed and just trying to use some common sense. You probably pay a bit more for that milk than at the supermarket, right?

Most people in your country don't do what you do, they buy it at the supermarket. The dairy products at the supermarket simply don't come from those farms.

Do you think it would be possible for everyone in your city to consume milk that way?

Would there be enough farms to produce enough dairy that way at a reasonable price that most people would be ready to pay? I'm going to guess that probably not that would not be sustainable.

Still, in the end, the economic incentives for that farmer to produce more milk are the same. The farmer would be incentivized to use better milk yielding cows, get rid of the males, feed the cheapest possible food to the animals.

I think I would phrase something more usefully as: keep it as short as possible, but no shorter.

The End of the 'Lobster Trick' and the Death of Overnight NYC Tabloid Journalism
These 4 split ideas are great. I've previously maintained a wiki for our department and the most viewed documents are always shifting from year to year. Until now, I've never been confident enough to act on the bits of information I've gotten from people who said they liked X article because Y, and now I can see that those articles are a mish-mash of the how-to and technical reference.

Now I will be able to use this as a framework for my continuing revisions, and be able to ensure that for any subject I want to be able to expect others to teach themselves to understand, I need to have the 4 quadrants ready to go.

Sidenote: I loath the excuses I hear so much these days about self-documenting code obviating the need for __any__ documentation or code comments at all. I'm always looked at like I'm a woozle for pushing back on that. I can't decide if that POV comes from laziness or a sense of denial (this is fine) but that's a rant for another submission.
That fits me, I just wrote a comment saying that while I feel very comfortable picking the standard 2-4 mushrooms in Sweden I would never try and pick a white one even if know we have some edible species.

Consider for example the enormous proliferation of vegan food. I don't know about Norway, but Sweden has stuff everywhere, in rural village supermarkets for example.

None of these in particular.

You foster a team environment when you find ways for every one to care for/after every other one, in the perspective of the group (because the group cares for each part of itself, and each part cares about the group).

Ways may be motives/needs/desires, stories, behaviours (part of which are rituals).

So the specific steps depend highly on the chemistry of the team you get to start with, and where you want to go together. And that is why generic methods are just like cooking books: interesting, useful, but not enough to get a good dinner and a good spirit.

Depends. I have a cluster serving about half a million clients that send binary sensor data every 1-3 minutes. Sometimes the hardware has bugs and send erroneous payloads while the majority just continue running. So instead of spending a lot of time figuring out all of the possible malformed inputs I just let the processes restart in those cases and otherwise resume.

There are certainly ways you can get run away reactions that eventually take down the otp tree regardless of your settings and I probably do more input validation than strictly called for my the erlang guide books but not spending all of my time worrying about those edge cases does have it's upside with out negatively impacting other clients.
Eh, static binaries solve this & Gradle presents plenty of potential problems in my experience.
To be honest, I don't think taking the sentence out of context distorts much. This quote (which I see in full length for the first time) pretty much says how I always understood the shorter version.

It's not "optimization is root of all evil". The key is "premature optimization". Maybe people gloss over that part, but it is right there.

Yes, Knuth goes into more detail on what he considers premature optimization in the context of programming computers. However the short sentence applies much more broadly in my experience.

For example, "premature optimization" of BOM costs in a hardware project can cost you dearly down the road when it turns out that leaving in some extra flexibility in the design would be mighty useful.
