Nearer the top of the atmosphere, the concentration of H2O is much less, and the argument breaks down, because it’s the top layers that radiate to space. Lower in the troposphere, photons are being absorbed and re-radiated, but not escaping.

In general, this stuff is complicated, and it’s easy for people using “motivated reasoning” to come up with the answer they want. Lots of comments reflecting such misinformation appear on HN — it’s frustrating.

So, listening to random people isn’t such a good idea. Much better to read a report from people who study this stuff, like: https://nca2018.globalchange.gov/, which I recommend to technically interested nonspecialists.

I get pictures of the delivery on my front porch. I wonder if that is to prove to me that the package was delivered or to prove to Amazon that the delivery person delivered. If the photos are taken with a cell phone app/camera they will be tagged with location and time which would be pretty difficult to falsify.

I don't always get these pictures so I suspect it is Amazon spot checking their delivery people.
Sure, post a GitHub/Gitlab link.

Sarah Jeong was actually _hired_ by the New York Times after tweeting the kind of vile language you are mentioning.
So clearly it's not a problem for everyone. But I understand it's a whataboutism argument.

So my position is that organizations and individuals should, generally, be free to speak, and free to organize as they see fit (including hiring, or not, someone). Because it's the best way to minimize conflict.

GitHub is a special case, perhaps in all of computerdom, in that most of their public data is stored not in (SQL) databases, but in git repositories. That's rather unique!

So we know they must already have a great indexing and search system in place, and they can't use foreign key constraints on most of their data, anyway. Git simply doesn't have that. It's not that kind of database.

Given this environment, it's not surprising they don't use FKs. It wouldn't surprise me if they don't use JOINs much! Throw it all in a repo, and let the indexer sort it out.

That's great for them, but my data isn't shaped like that. Data types and referential integrity are more important to me than history and bisection.

Password sharing is also used by semi-legal outfits to offer content across services with only one "meta subscription".

The websites for these services look very slick and "proper", so for the consumer, there's pretty good plausible deniability involved.
SMS DRs are themselves SMSes, and subject to the same problems.

Remember how in the olden days, you sometimes got multiple copies of a single text? That was because the sender had marked "DR required", and some system along the way was dropping the receiver's DRs, so the SMSC kept retrying.

Clearly increasing gas taxes doesn't eliminate petrol vehicles, because I've been to Europe (where gas prices are radically higher than the US — +50-100%) and they still have cars there. Yes, the incentives structure means those cars are smaller, lighter, and more efficient — and in many countries, increasingly electric — and that's a good outcome / example of how taxes apply positive pressure.

And I think that is totally ok. Not everyone can do everything. We've had execs and individual contributors who say, "can't make it." And that is it and it is ok. And the reasons vary from person to person. But it is not agist. There are folks of every age that either can or can't make company trips for many reasons. For the trips I've been on, we get close to 90% participation.

I grew up in south Seattle, and also got to visit the original WotC headquarters a few times. What an awesome opportunity that was. In addition to tables and tournaments for Magic players, they had a bank of networked computers where you could play multiplayer games on their LAN.

My favorite memory was when me and a friend tried a novel strategy in Warcraft 2 -- the "Peon Rush". Haven't heard of the strategy? That's because it's awful. We ganged up on another player, sending waves of peons as fast as we could spawn them. Our target crushed us both with, IIRC, a pair of ogres. One died.
Makes me wonder if there are any nutty ideas today that are right but seem to not make sense because we are missing a vital piece of theory that would explain how they work.

Oh wow, CUDA compute support is Premier League. Way to go!

> The primary goal is to make calling the CUDA API as comfortable as calling Go functions or methods. Additional convenience functions and methods are also created in this package in the pursuit of that goal.

Great angle. Very idiomatic to Go, and ballpark what most developers wish. Polishing the convenience aspect (until some 'promise of stability' by 1.0) is truly what makes some projects popular imho. UX (well DX, for Developer eXperience) is a clear determining factor especially in the age of open-source and generalized `git` remote pushes to 'the cloud'.

Wearing a MAGA hat anywhere in public is threatening to a significant portion of people. It is saying to everyone in the vicinity, I agree with all the hate that Trump has put out there. It is calling everyone a "loser" when you don't agree with them. It is giving schoolyard bully nicknames to anyone you don't like. It is just straight up toxic.

And it is likely more threatening than average at a highly open source event, where many people dedicate their lives for deep values and human rights.

If Charles Max Wood would have worn a MAGA hat at KubeCon, a lot of people would have felt very uncomfortable, including myself (not going to KubeCon this year though).
My advice, put constraints that make sense as you're developing an application, and marvel at how often you accidentally violate them while writing trivial code. You'll realize pretty quickly that even when you know the whole area of what you're working on you still screw up. FKs might not add a lot of value on bet the company, mission critical, heavily tested code. But on less rigorous codebases they will save your ass.

Quote: "Apple’s control over its app ecosystem is a new type of monopoly..."

Very poor choice of words, it's their walled garden, nobody's holding a gun to your head to go there, especially since Android's walled garden is growing bigger by the day while Apple's one is shrinking.

Here is a better choice of words: "-Let it shrink, I couldn't care less".

As a freelancer I always say to my clients they have a choice of whatever they like between big 4's (Win/Droid/iOS & MacOS/Linux) but in reality I do it quietly on Win and Droid 1st, then during the final stages I kinda forget about the other 2. If any of them is asking, I have other means to stop them going there. I don't like Apple and I don't like Linux. Apple for reasons including those in the article as well plus more, and Linux for their snobbish. Until both of them will act pro-customer and non-anti-developer I will be against them as well, and I am not the only one. There is a reason why Win is king in desktop (backward compatibility & pro-developer) and Droid is king in mobile (non-anti-developer, though lately Google is kinda of following in Apple's footsteps here). And I know I am not the only one with this mindset.

These are hardly extraordinary claims. If you survey the daily news from dozens of media outlets for the past 3 years, what was described above is barely scratching the surface of the platform in question. The content itself, on the other hand, is certainly extraordinary in a perverse way. It's why event organizers have to take action against individuals who promote it.
I know what the word means, and I don't see how it could possibly make sense here. If he doesn't mean stylish, he might mean stylized.

What could "word clouds pertaining to style" possibly mean? Maybe if you gave it a text and it spit out a cloud with things like: "using passive voice," "flowery," "strident," "long-winded," "plain."
A slightly different perspective:

I have zero interest in copyright infringement for video content. I am okay with streaming and have no desire to archive what I watch. I am okay with the 10 to 15 USD per month subscription model as long as it is easy to subscribe and unsubscribe.

If my claims make it sound like video content is unimportant to me, it is true. Part of the reason why it it not significant in my life is that it is difficult to access. If I have something in particular in mind and have to figure out where it is available, they have probably lost me. If I know where something is available and have to subscribe to a service to access that singular title, they have lost me. Whenever I look for something and discover that it is not available in my region, I have even less incentive to put in the effort in the future. Whenever I look for something that I have already viewed and discover that it is no longer available, the frustration simply grows. Simply put, so much effort has been put into placing barriers to access that have lost interest in even making an attempt to use these services. Given that some people place a higher priority on video content, I can understand why they share passwords or find other means.

What is the solution? In this highly biased to the point of near disinterest opinion: make it easier to legally access content. Exclusive and time limited contracts with service providers may offer short term gains, but they encourage piracy among consumers or even turn off consumers completely.
I'm much more sympathetic to this line of argument.

Things I'd like to look into more (and would love to hear any thoughts if you have insights): are there anti-proliferation reasons that mean Chinese companies don't have access to the same level of nuclear technology as USA / France? Are domestic investors less willing to invest in these sort of projects in China (e.g. since there is a major construction boom)? Are international investors less able to invest in these sort of long-range and potentially sensitive projects in China, due to capital controls or other reasons?

But I agree, if China can't affordably build a nuclear plant, then that would at least suggest that the regulatory component isn't enough to explain why it's not cost effective.
There is one main reason to learn C: everything can interface with C, and you may need to extend your language's capabilities.

There is one main reason to learn assembly: things WILL eventually go wrong, to the point that you need to debug at the machine level in order to understand what's going on.

Also, many debug tools such as ptrace are primarily accessed through C, and require a basic understanding of the assembler view of the machine.

The source calculates somewhat optimistically. They assume storage at 80bar, while mentioning that actual storage is at 200bar. They also assume 60% efficient conversion from methane to electricity, while using 55% in other parts of the paper. There is no accounting for transmission losses or the energy needed to procure the CO2. Cogeneration is again creative accounting. We're talking about supplying electricity, and heat isn't electricity.

Those reversible fuel cells... I'll believe in them when I can buy them. And a round trip efficiency of 80% is unbelievable when simple electrolysis of water, which is only half the round trip, isn't that efficient.
Who is the arbiter of bad UX? Everyone can agree on rotten fruit, what is a rotten user interface?

Everything I've learned about UX is that a spreadsheet will solve tons of problems that it's the worst interface for. Yet that is what people often want.
The solutions you propose are pretty much the norm already. PC logins are typically LDAP or AD however. ymmv whether your eme login is on the same domain as your pc login. For example, on Cerner emr they are typically separate but this has more to do with the hosting infra more than anything else.

All the emr security in the world wont help you if a random piece of critical equipment that is compromised locks you out.
Most of the GHG reduction benefit in terms of the GHG contribution of the methane itself. However, there is also the benefit of the fossil fuel combustion that is displaced if you collect and burn for power. This is exactly the sort of thing that a carbon tax would incentivize if it were at all economically sensible.
It depends how in-depth you want to go.

On my four year electronic engineering course, we did semiconductor physics, principles of electromagnetism, IC design, digital logic using semiconductors, abstract digital logic, processors and systems programming with ARM assembly, transmission lines, digital comms systems (stuff like network throughput, dish areas, network capacity, information theory), the Ethernet standard, packet switching algorithms, TCP/IP, network programming with C, high level languages (Python, Java), and on my own for degree projects I did stuff with PostgreSQL, FastCGI, Elixir, HTTP and Javascript. There were optional modules for stuff like nanotech, physical modelling synthesis, control theory, audio programming for iOS, etc.

Combine that four year degree with a computer science degree (so eight years total), and I think you'd have a pretty in-depth overview of the principles of every part of the stack from React down to silicon, boron and phosphorus, albeit not all the implementation details.
Apple can do what they want with their store, everyone agrees.

If universe is deterministic and computable, then it is possible to create a simulation of a part of the universe that would be complex enough to contain humans and would be simple enough to pause computation, make changes to the state, copy the state, etc. So for simplicity i will talk about this simulated universe.

Separable here roughly means that to compute further states of a human you need to follow only particles in that human and not deal with variables describing the whole universe.

You can recompute exact same universe with exact same human, but it will give you the same result. Recomputing with different human shows that different choice was possible in principle.

In the simulation we can perfectly predict what the human will do, but if computational irreducibility conjecture is true there is only one algorithm to make that prediction, which is running the simulation itself. And because running the simulation is equivalent to letting the simulated human to live that means we do not predict, but merely observe the choice.

This is not exactly what everyone thinks when talking about free will, but this is a close enough equivalent that can exist in a computable universe, because multiple choices are available, and the choice is made by the part of the universe representing the human.
Not as much as developers who can't find their own coding errors might have you think!
"if you can deliver the goods"

Demonstrating what you can do at a temporary job is a viable tactic, but it takes luck to find the right one and sacrifices if it's paying half what you're used to.

When you're just out of college, you can tell people in an interview that you've been learning a language on your own, and you've done this and that, and you're confident you can be useful. And they will hire you. That's how I got my first post bachelor's job.

But ten or twenty years down the line, you can't do that. Any job with 5-10 requirements, they aren't interested in hearing how you have been studying it at home, how you were working with something similar 6 months or 10 years ago. You have to be using all of the things on a daily basis now. And confidence you can learn any language equates to arrogance and "not a cultural fit".

You don't appreciate the difference between a college grad and someone a bit older. The issue isn't that everyone who's older insists on a senior level salary, when they don't know, say, Java or Python. The issue is that it's assumed they can't even learn anything new, regardless of experience, if they aren't doing it right now.

What I did personally was to find a job with zero technical requirements that happened to be ripe for automation, so I could do whatever I wanted in any spare moment and learn whatever I thought might be useful. But in retrospect, I think it was extreme luck that I found it, and that I was at my best for the interview. Because 99% of similar jobs are just, file stuff, answer phones, move boxes.
My natural inclination is to agree and stand against this stuff which superficially really does look like hysterical moralism.

The thing that stops me and almost makes me side with the CoC crowd is that I've spent the last 8-10 years watching a wave of fascist and hyper-reactionary ideology sweep across hacker culture.

The existence of so much actual fascism, race nationalism, Naziism, ideological misogyny ("red pill" and "incel" stuff), etc. in so many corners of hacker/geek culture make the hard core SJW crowd look like they have a point. The stuff that revolves around places like Gab and /pol/ makes the craziest examples of "call out culture" and "cancel culture" look sane and maybe necessary.

It's like this.

Say you're in Salem. Say you're horrified at all the witch hysteria. Now imagine you go for a walk in the woods and come upon a circle of people chanting and sacrificing babies over a bonfire...

Hmm... now maybe those witch hunters have a point!

I feel a little like that.

What I really think is that everyone on the right, left, and just about everywhere else lost their damn minds for some reason starting about 2010-2012. The MAGA hat crowd and the "cancel culture" crowd are all insane and this is all crazies fighting with crazies.

Deeply hierarchical/recursive data is equally well served by XML and Protobuf.

However, JSON itself can be... Painful for some subsets of data that you may wish to move between applications. Binary data, well-typed data. JSON tends [0] uses floats, so you may need to adjust your expectations about how to store numbers if precision matters. You can workaround a lot of these, such as through various encodings, but they are workarounds.

A lot of those workarounds depend on re-encoding, which unfortunately means using strings, which can run afoul of "An implementation may set limits on the length and character contents of strings." and silently drop important bytes, or simply cut off the end of the payload.

If you think the solution to large codebases is refactoring IMO you haven’t seen codebases large enough. The kind of your compiler can’t help, because you start hitting data modeling, legacy, regulatory and people issues.
