Having run a newspaper, I know the problem is the business model. Funding by advertising is a terrible business model for journalism.

"real" journalism doesn't make any money because it's expensive to make and doesn't generate any more ad revenue than bad journalism.

Most newspapers lose money, and that's getting worse not better. So billionaires own (and subsidise) newspapers, and get to influence content.

So either we start paying for our news, or we continue with the current situation. Though it's going to get worse because we're de-training an entire generation of journalists, and the advertising revenue is shrinking.
Last I heard, WebReplay was not on an official roadmap (in the sense that we do not yet have a target date for shipping it in release). That said, I'm pretty sure that the macOS-only restriction is just because that's what the primary developer is using, and it's a higher priority to get the system-independent parts working first. If/when WebReplay is ready to ship, I can't imagine a world where support isn't eventually added for Windows/Linux (although it could be a phased rollout, like WebRender).
Sure, it is unfortunately above the monthly budget that my wife allows me to spend :)
Can this support multiple floors and angled roofs?

I am using floorplanner at the moment and I can't seem to figure out how to put a "half-storey" attic floor.

Plus floorplanner's community forum seems to be dead.
I think you're the first to point this out. Thank you so much; I just uninstalled php.
That was 1 million years ago, a few things could have evolved since then
And it is probably even higher among developers who also use Firefox. Anecdotally most Linux users use Firefox, while for developers on Mac it is mostly Chrome.
So what would be the 'proper' field for commenting on 'climate science' ?

Are there faculties of 'Climate Science' ?

If anything, I will listen to anybody's arguments if they have a grasp of math first, physics second, chemistry 3rd.
It is to cull high-volume bot programs, which are managed through the API. Note that every account will require a log-in to count as active, not just be posting.

If a single bot account was created by a person for fun, they can easily log into it once to prove activity.

But if a person (or, say, a national intelligence service) has created 20,000 accounts programmatically, they’re going to have a much harder time manually logging into every one of them to preserve them.

I think the implication is that under this tented tensile structure you could build whatever radiation shielded (or not) structures you wanted, and this just contains the air.
And the "hothouse" Earths were drastically different from Earth today. Given time, life adapts, but the point is that there's no time. There have been sudden, drastic global climate changes in Earth's history before. It's just that they have been accompanied by massive extinction events. Whatever we do, we probably won't destroy the whole ecosystem. But that's a rather ridiculously low bar to clear!
today it would offend people.
A warmer earth with humans on it is fundamentally new, as we've not been around that long. Even forerunner species like Homo habilis only go back three million years. An eye blink in the geologic record, and long, long after the five mass extinctions.

12C warmer would put vast amounts of the land area of the planet outside habitable conditions for humanity. We'd probably be restricted to former arctic regions, and not much else. So no, I don't think it's self evident at all. It won't take many degrees rise to rule us out of equatorial regions, then tropical...
The sociological impact will be immense and likely bankrupt most of the world. We're going to have to move people out of low-lying areas in a pretty short amount of time. There will be billions of refugees but the inland areas don't have the infrastructure or water sources to absorb that many people. There will be food shortages as farmable land becomes inundated or dries up. Wars will happen as desperate people / nations fight over limited resources.

Every coastal city is under threat, and east Asia (where half the world's population lives) is especially vulnerable. I have a feeling things are going to get really, really bad in about 20 years because there's no realistic plan to do anything about it.

Do you not think about living by your values as a matter of integrity?

I don't not steal to stop others from stealing. I don't steal because I don't want to hurt others. If everyone in the world stole, I still wouldn't. If the whole world pollutes, I'm still going to avoid polluting as much as I can.
For those who want to use on serverless functions the new PHP functionalities there is a way using Cloud Run.
I'm not super familiar with Algol but it seems that this function is not using call-by-value? In most of the translations the parameters to A are functions instead of reals.

Is this call by name or call by reference? And how would call by value look like in Algol?
you can do sub-penny price improvement but you cannot quote at a sub-penny.
Thank you for the feedback - I'll add that.
Funding is irrelevant to this question, salary is the important part: if the scientist is selling out their principles for personal gain, it's their take home that will matter to them.

There is a LOT of documentation on scientists making a lot more money in private industry than in government sponsored research.
It's difficult to appreciate or convey the timescales involved here.

Human activities are pushing atmospheric CO2 concentrations to levels not seen for millions of years.

We've accomplished that in a scant 200 years of fossil fuel use, though with consumption doubling about every 30-40 years, half of the total has occurred since the 1970s.

Atmospheric and oceanic CO2 levels will remain elevated for many thousands of years.

The first awareness of a possible problem seems to have been in the 1850s (yes, the 19th century), and by the early 20th century, the US Naval Research Laboratory was warning of possibly impacts on civilisation. Comprehensive and consistent measurements didn't begin until the 1950s (Charles Keeling and his eponymous curve), and political efforts to address the challenge began in the 1960s. They've been less successful than early activists forecast.

The impacts of climate change not only develop slowly and over time, but through emergent and second-order effects, the full impacts aren't directly forseable. We know that temperatures on average will rise, as will sea levels. Local climactic effects may be above or below those averages. Direct changes include not only temperature but chemistry, and induced effects on ecosystems and human activities, including agriculture and disease. We're seeing long-term trends already in terms of temperatures, sea level rise, shifting climactic zones, changes to forest health, and more. Those are just the harbinger of what will all but certainly be vastly greater consequences playing out over coming decades and centuries.

If it helps: you're in the middle of a train wreck, as a bridge collapses, and the cars hurtle into a fuel storage dump, but are witnessing all of this in super slow motion. What looks like nothing happening is in fact things happening, and most especially approaching critical points at which either it's not possible to roll back to the previous state, much as a block tipped too far doesn't fall back, but continues over, or where behaviour changes dramatically, as the difference between tapping a windowpane and driving your fist through it. Nonlinear responses mean you cannot predict future states based on a steady extrapolation from past experience.

You are in the middle of the emergency -- the emergent situation. The brink lasts a long time, at human scales. On geological ones, this is the blink of an eye, or less.
Really hope they can get this working with WebGL
Well, that isn't generally true if the complexity is actually a security boundary. After all, all security designs are based on layers -- it's hard to add a layer of security without adding complexity.

As a counter-example -- removing all of Linux's privilege checking would make the code a lot less complicated, but the attack surface would increase a million-fold. In this case, the Librem 5's separation of the baseband such that communication is done over USB (a protocol which doesn't have DMA) is a security improvement over giving the baseband DMA access.
Even if Ethos’ ‘intentions’ are to be taken at face value, $26 is still a ridiculous price for basically no service. But these intentions are essentially worthless or they’d be put in writing.

Why would there be no non-profit willing to do this ‘work’ providing this ‘service’ for whatever price you want? You should know, your organization provides much more service for no money at all.
Significance is almost beside the point. Any methane "emitted" by livestock is already present in the carbon cycle: cows eat grass which is made of atmospheric carbon. It isn't sensible to compare that to carbon from fossil fuels. This "methane is worse" proposition was used to argue that livestock production is as bad as burning fossil fuels, but of course that completely falls apart if the main problem with methane is the carbon dioxide into which it degrades. That carbon dioxide may have been methane for the last 12 years, but immediately before that it was grass and immediately before that it was the same existing carbon dioxide that it is again now. There isn't something magical about a cow's gut that somehow multiplies carbon levels.
When my wife needed new glasses, our benefits were capped at $400, including the eye exam.
I can't remember the exact numbers, but after the exam, there was roughly $250 left, and all the glasses started around $400 in-store.
After a few minutes getting the sales pitch and everything being framed as the gap payment, "Oh these will only cost you $150!" my wife said "Can I get my prescription, I'm going to go somewhere cheaper" and all of a sudden all the prices dropped in half.
She ended up getting her pair without paying anything out of pocket.
> It's called the "I never bothered to learn the actual fare from a local friend" tax.

Victim blaming much?
True, it would be new to humans, but (at least initially) it's not fundamentally a problem (please note, I'm arguing in the most theoretical sense here). Large amounts of the equatorial regions are already uninhabitable - it would be interesting to see an analysis of the total inhabitable land loss vs gain for each degree in temperature rise.
How many crackpots have there been there for each Ignaz Semmelweiss, though? Ignoring weird people pays off if it saves having having to spend time on their far-out theories, even if Ignaz was right as well as weird.

I personally think security has been spoiled by unrealistic advice. "Use PGP" is the worst, but it's not alone. A few years ago a mass-market device (tens of millions sold) asked me to enter my password three times within two minutes in order to carry out one single operation, and it demanded that the password be secure enough that I needed two kinds of mode-shift to enter it on that device's keyboard. Who takes that vendor's ideas about security seriously after experiencing shit like that?

The way I would do it is send a lot of self replicating terraforming robots. That requires relatively little cargo - the only components that cannot be manifactured on mars directly are smd and processors.
Lately, Apple does kinda suck at software development.

I spent days hunting down issues in the launch iOS 13 simulator that turned out not to happen on real hardware (and had never happened worth the iOS 13 launch).

Their UX is on a downward trend for several years now, IMO.

Historically I've heard Apple described as a software company that uses hardware to achieve competitive advantage.

Apple sucking is relative, obviously - their stuff is still better than most other products, but it's not add good as it used to be, IMO.

I wonder if the iPhone's success has transformed them into more of a hardware company?
For me it was the past that annoyed me. Glad they added an option to put it back on to.

I've been to opticians in the UK where they have a machine that will do that.

I remember once i'd bought cheap glasses online, then a year or so later went for an eye test; my prescription hadn't changed, but they measured the glasses, and found that they weren't quite right for the prescription, so i got a new pair. An effective sales technique, and assuming that they weren't lying to me, a useful service for me.

No. The list has nine tipping points that the authors are afraid we will pass in the future. From the article:

> Nine active tipping points:

> The rainforests, permafrost and boreal forests are examples of biosphere tipping points that if crossed result in the release of additional greenhouse gases amplifying warming.
The article you link to does not back up your claim about scientific consensus at all. In fact, it's rather biased and bad from that point of view.
I don't know but if I had to guess: order of responses coming in from the server, interleaved with timer events and user events.
Its mostly about the project management, issue tracking,
pull requests, CI/CD, releases and other features being unavailable. Not the source code itself.
There's really no reason to secure a site if it's just informational or someone's blog. The worst that's going to happen in this case is someone might be able to see the blog sent to you in plain text, which is no big deal, because it's public anyway. Now if it has a form asking you to enter personal information or credit card numbers, you would definitely want SSL.
The technological side does not matter. The modern AI renaissance is purely driven by wide availability of training data. The West is in the process of restricting this, China is putting it front and center.

The academic state of algorithm development (whether China is better or worse in this regard) is a minor rounding error.
The earth has also been molten rock at one point too, the issue is can humans survive in that environment, not just the fact the earth is warmer.
Governments (e.g. taxes on fuel) and oil companies have a financial incentive to promote fossil fuels so if they were funding research you would expect a bias against anthropogenic climate change. Can you resolve this contradiction?
Of course it's a tradeoff and needs to be balanced. The right to be forgotten was never about censoring information itself, just making it less available (e.g. newspapers do not need to erase names etc.). The more publicity your case had, the less like it gets to be forgotten.

But I think you touch the issue. I don't think the answer to your questions is always an unconditional yes, the opposite question can also be agreed upon. There is no right or wrong. If our goal as society is rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders (and not punishment as an end to itself), then starting with a clean slate after serving your sentence is a fair solution. Shouldn't people have the chance to leave their past behind and not be followed by their mistakes for the end of their live? They only have one. But if we choose this path, we have to be realistic, since your question are certainly important consequences.

> The public’s clarity is what’s being traded here. I would argue that the public and any relevant professional groups should never forget fraudsters such as the CEO of workriot or theranos.
I agree, but I think is on the "should not be forgotten" part of the balance.

I think it may highlight cultural differences. In another comment "freedom of speech" in germany was brought up. It's a similar tradeoff there and we rely on a reasonable legal system to implement it correctly and balance the tradeoffs. I agree even stronger with our approach on "freedom of speech" and certainly do not want rights as phrased for example in the US constitution. In my point of view it's an important lesson from our history in germany. Its something I very, very strongly agree with.

While some codes of conduct boil down to "just be nice", sometimes they end up encoding very specific beliefs of the people writing them.

For example, the code of conduct on dev.to [1] states that:

-------------

We pledge to prioritize marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. We will not act on complaints regarding:

‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’

Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as 'leave me alone,' 'go away,' or 'I’m not discussing this with you.'

Someone’s refusal to explain or debate social justice concepts

Criticisms of racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions

-------------

Note the "we will not act on complaints regarding [...] reverse racism". As someone who 100% disagrees with the idea that "reverse racism" is a thing (although I find the word dumb; it's just plain racism, nothing "reverse" about it) I have to ask myself: Does this mean the rules differ based on skin colour? Is something acceptable when said by a black user to a white user, but racism if it's the other way around?

It's things like these that, I believe, end up turning a "code of conduct" into a de facto political manifesto designed to keep out not only unwanted behavior, but also unwanted world-views. It's those codes of conduct that create direct harm.

You can't really recreate this kind of company anyway. What started as a unique idea has become a viable business by creating a unique set of networks and cultures. It's not really about the idea anymore, they've got capital and inertia.

Good luck copying that.

I wonder if he really believes this when he was typing it. I find it difficult to understand the rationale of selling ORG to private equity and the justify it as good for the internet. I hope this line of BS turns out to be true, but giving ORG over to a bunch of MBAs with experience in day trading does not a confident nerd make.

It was prohibited to talk about Holodomor at times of Soviet Union. Actual number of victims is still top secret of Russian Federation. Archives, which has huge historic value, are destroyed in 2010, 70 years after Holodomor, instead of opening for public. If you have detailed information about Holodomor, please share. Currently, we use recorded witnesses and sporadic documents to study it. Also, graves of victims are found at rate of about 2 new mass-grave per month in Summer, for decades.

All recorded witnesses share same main narrative: it was year with high yield, but everything edible, even in very small quantities, like handful of seeds, was confiscated by state multiple times per month, until people starved to death.

It's not a Great Famine, like in 1921. It's Holodomor ("Mass-murder by Famine").

As a small company you can offer flexibility, growth, and learning along with a competitive pay.

Flexibility - Work remotely, set your own hours etc. We care about output/productivity & not how or when you work.

Growth - Make sure there's always a next level/challenge/goal/increased pay etc.

Learning - In small companies folks can (and should) wear different hats & get to learn about sales, business, marketing etc. on the job.

I'd look at SO Developer survey & focus on things that matter to people apart from company vision & pay.
> Would I have a hard time finding a reasonably-sized company that does not require this kind of software to be installed?

No.
> limiting price increases to no more than 10% per year

Oh, well. That's okay then.

what if you assume that objectivity shouldn't even be a goal? I feel like reading/watching multiple sources of informations, of which you understand their bias, is quite useufl.

I feel like twitter is actually the best place to that process, and to "defragment" the complexity of information flow. You can follow "mainstream" opinion makers and "rebels", "experts/specialists" for narrow but deep insights, and so on

Pretty much anywhere in Brazil, today, without government subsidies or health insurance:

- Exam: ~80 BRL = 20 USD
- Glasses without the lenses: ~100 BRL (of course there are all sorts of prices above this, but this is a very reasonable model) = 25 USD
- Lenses: ~100 BRL = 20 USD
I assume you therefore would also go to a mathematician or a physicist for a medical diagnosis, over a doctor or chemist too? If not, why not?
