After reading this thread, the problem you have is YOU.

I'm not trying to be critical or a dick. Your argument is "I don't have the information, and random sources I didn't dig into cast aspersions and make me think things are not as straightforward, I want to see the data etc..."

The solution is TO GO LOOK AT THE DATA!. There are hundreds if not thousands of studies with methods laid out in detail, data provided for you with information on collection, manipulation etc... Everything you're asking for to be "more informed" exists, but your not actually out there reading it obviously, you're here claiming you want the data that is available and accessible simply by starting on google and working your way through it to educate yourself.

Ignore the media, ignore those 'email leaks' and other BS you're seeing. Read the actual studies look at the actual information.

Or alternatively you can go to the experts that do all of that and look at their point of view, which is overwhelmingly that while the models might not be as accurate as we'd like all the time, the trend and future direction and many of the eventual outcomes of those changes are predictable.

Furthermore, climate change scientists have been beating this drum for 3 decades. As they predicted and we ignored, We're in the middle of an extinction event where we're seeing massive die-offs in multiple areas of the ecosystem, sea level rise and temperature rise is already happening and visible/quantifiable, increased storms, flooding and fire is already part of our lives.

To still deny the scientists who have been largely right for 30 years+, to ignore the actual evidence published while demanding "more evidence" and to deny the climate changes and the causes (significantly: us) as we've well established is at best ignorant, at worst malicious.

Do the research, do the reading. Inform yourself instead of demanding others inform you while casting aspersions on scientists based on media and rumors.

>most housing constructed in the last few decades was built with the assumption that AC and electric heating are available.

Depends where you live. In the northern US, you're absolutely dependent on heat requiring electricity for a number of months during the year. In the south, things get pretty bad, even life threatening, without AC during a number a year. I'll go out on a limb though and say that Northern California (except at higher elevations) does not fall into either of those categories.

Added: I do agree that many newer houses don't optimize well for making effective use of natural light, airflow, etc.
For a blog you can just have one "posts" page or similar, linked from every page, organized chronologically. Or even with anchor links to the same posts organized a few different ways. Then you also don't need a search function for searching post titles. Or to worry about paginating your list.

"But what about when there are a lot, won't that be too big?" Look at how much transfer & memory your favorite Javascript framework uses just to show up to the party, and get back to me. You'd have to blog a hell of a lot for it to even be a factor. An HTML list of text & links is small and compresses well.
Not as Oberon.

In Oberon not only is every module an application, the exported procedures are available as commands on the REPL and callable via mouse actions as well.

However in modern Windows you try to achieve a similar experience via what PowerShell allows for (.NET, COM and DLL entry points) and OLE Automation.

Still is isn't as easy and painless as the whole Oberon OS allowed to.
You say that, but then there's more advanced writings like scientific papers which will freely use domain-specific terms and / or maths; I'm not saying that's bad, it's just that because I'm not at home with these terms and / or subjects I won't invest the time in trying to decipher it. Also because unlike with code, I don't actually have to of course.
The takedown is referring to charges of terrorism:
"the movement Tsunami Democratic has been confirmed as a criminal organization driving people to commit terrorist attacks. Tsunami Democratic's main goal is coordinating these riots and terrorist actions by using any possible mean."

Can anybody point me to such terrorist actions? Tsunami Democratic is indeed organizing demonstrations and protests, but I don't understand that to be terrorism, especially if they are doing so repeatedly calling for "non-violence". Straight from their page:
https://tsunamidemocratic.github.io/noviolencia.html

I don't necessarily agree with their actions, but to attempt to take down a website / app on trumped up charges doesn't seem appropriate for an established western democracy...

I'll probably get shit on for saying this, but JS comes closer. It's multi-paradigm, performant, and TS provides static type checking for those that want it. Of course, JS is also a language that gets excoriated for being poorly designed, so maybe intuitive design and adaptability are fundamentally at odds with each other.

You could be in that club for any reason. In Germany we prosecute Nazi related content (e.g. Mein Kampf, etc). Would be completely fine in the US.

As a result, a government takedown request can bring a rationale country like Germany on the list, doing the right thing, and still be viewed by US standards as violation of free speech.

Legal is different in each country. And honestly, Spain has a territorial integrity and a working democratic process.

That metaphor doesn't hold up. Literature is full of allegories, figures of speech, allusion, and other forms of imagery.

I agree that code should be as straightforward as possible, but I don't think books follow that rule.
Distribution of power in theory, yes. If you're Spanish you very well know that's NOT the case.

And it's clear that this lack of separation is rooted in the minds of Spanish politicians and governors. Here's the Vice President of Spain basically threatening the Belgium Executive if the Belgium Courts don't extradite Carles Puigdemont

I think you might not know much about Spanish history. The Catalan movement has existed for at least over a century. We had revolts quashed, we had our language forbidden, we had forced economic depression, presidents executed, all since early 19th century. When do we get your approval, at 150 years? 200?

The interesting part is that the 13 years sentence might actually be illegal, and won’t hold up against an EU court.

As Puigdemont was in Schleswig-Holstein in Germany at the moment of the arrest, German law limits the crimes for which Spain could extradite him, and limits the maximum sentence Spain can enforce, per the extradition agreement. This also applies to the cases which happened after the extradition.

One can speculate why he specifically chose Schleswig-Holstein, but it’s the only region in Europe where, 1920, due to a peaceful referendum, a part of the country separated, and joined another country – the Northern Schleswig seceding from Germany and joining Denmark.

Which is why the judges in Germany ruling over the extradition were likely more positive towards him, and first ruled that any and all cases against him for treason, secession, and anything like it have to be dropped, and he can only be extradited to spain under the condition that spain only prosecute him and any people he worked together with for misuse of public funds.

And this ruling by the court deciding over the extradition also meant that spain can at most enforce a sentence of a few months, but mostly only a monetary fine.

So what Spain is doing here is legally against most EU laws.

Which is not the first time, considering EU law specifically demands the right for self-determination for any and all people, minorities, and regional groups, such as the danish minority in Schleswig-Holstein for example, and the same applies to the catalan minority in Spain.

Which is odd to me; I resisted using python much because of the rabid culture around it, and I tried, several times. They didn't get the nickname "pythonistas" for nothing, nor in jest.

This is very a big statement. It's hard for me to think of how they do that, when 8th gen ARM cores are said to be blowing just anything else on size/performance ratio.

Where does SiFive get such an expertise in size optimisation?

Yup, and this piece had nothing more than the same fluff we have been hearing the past 15 yrs about bio"tech". Until we can literally simulate a biological system in software (then discovering a new drug would be more deterministic), it will always be a discovery discipline, not an engineering one.

Once you find yourself having to start asserting things like that you know there is propaganda going on. Declare your opposition ineligible to run, intimidate anyone who disagrees with you, bribe voters and then call it democratic. Well, by this count Saddam was democratically elected in Iraq.

My read of the comment was that search-based-ads revenue >> all-other-ad-revenue -- banners, Android, etc.

It's the Guardia Civil (police) requesting the takedown.
I will disagree here, science usually is quite biased! There are always lines of thinking that get into fashion, where exaggerated claims are more common.

Climate change is one of those fields.

Everybody and their little sister want to be at the forefront, and they can only get there if they either claim to the savior or become that one special person that points out yet another imminent catastrophe. It is like a 11'o clock news, nothing but bad news to get people tune in.

Just to make sure, I want clearly state that I do believe that human-induced climate change is taking place. And that we should act, reducing waste, unnecessary air travel etc.

On the other hand, how many times do we read about that there could beneficial aspects to climate change? Right now I can't recall any instance. This is what I don't buy. Every change will suck for some, it might be better for others. Talking about anything positive in the context is taboo and it is part of the scientific bias that I believe is present. makes us all weaker because we can't quite prepare for something built on exaggerations and sensationalism.

We reward those that bring us bad news.

Not the Military Police.

The Guardia Civil, the takedown petitioner, is one of the two Spanish national police forces, the Military Police is a different corps entirely which belongs to the Army.

The Guardia Civil is similar to the Gendarmerie corps from many countries, such as France. However it does follow a military-style rank structure, which nothing out of this world for a police force.

Since it happened in the US, it should be immaterial in the eyes of the law if the author appeared to support the Maduro regime.

The public can levy consequence on a private citizen for what they say, fire them or kick them out of a rental, whatever, but the law is not “supposed to” be used that way.

Authoritarianism is enabled by public apathy to engage the political discourse honestly & blind faith everyone else agrees with their version of the rules.
Interestingly, although all the RTL for the SiFive Freedom platform is in the SiFive's GitHub repository, and they've produced chips and boards (with public schematics and BOM), the hard IP doesn't appear to be public.

I wonder if this is because the hard IP is specific to the fabs' trade secret tooling, and so subject to their NDAs, making it impossible to distribute publicly.
I mean whether or Maduro is good or bad is irrelevant. US-backed coups have routinely blown up in our faces.

Juan Guaidó is problematic in his own respects. The entire reason why the US backed his coup was because he (falsely) claimed he had the broad support of the military, only to later admit that he didn't have enough support. There's a very real chance the US may have committed itself to another war based on lies.

Foreign politicians feeding our national security complex false information is a bigger threat to our national security than Maduro. Think about the damage Rocco Martino and Naji Sabri did. Guaidó's only difference in so much as he was unsuccessful (so far).

Is support of the Maduro regime a crime? I know that being a journalist isn't and if the charge is "simple assault" then it sounds like there police went so far beyond what is reasonable in this case I have to wonder if some sort of gov't surveillance prompted it. We know, thanks to the Snowden revelations, that the gov't pays particular attention to journalists and this seems to be proof of it.

To be fair native controls were total ass for years. And still kind of are. Doubly so if you're trying to build an "app". Basic crap any half-decent UI toolkit would provide out of the box, just not there at all. The stuff that is there's often not great.

It seems like as soon as it became common to work around problems with HTML ui in Javascript, the already-slow work to improve the standard appearance and functionality of HTML websites dropped to almost zero. We got some alright semantic-markup stuff after that but it took forever to even get a couple layout primitives that are non-terrible.
