Well SHA256 is a red herring here: one could suggest any suitable fast hash, non-crytopgraphic hash instead.

Yes, it takes time linear in the length of the thing you are sorting, but comparison sort is generally worse in that respect: comparison also takes up to linear time in the comprands, and you have to compare each element not just once but log n times [1].

So the time to hash all the elements once (if the hash is not already cached in the element) is going to be a small part of the sort time.

[1] There are ways around repeatedly re-comparing the entire key, but they work mostly in specialized cases.

seems pretty clear to me: you used to manufacture X in the US, now you import X from the US. The pollution that X used to generate in the US is off the US's emissions sheet.
Coal is abundant and cheap and well suited to day and night base load power. The emissions are awful but there is no suitable replacement right now which fits those criteria (nuclear falls down on the cheap point). Sure, we can keep burning natural gas like it's going out of style but at some point demand is going to push up supply again.

Until grid level storage is well proven (and not geographically constrained like pumped hydro) that is the reality.

yea but trump! I thought he wanted to keep coal.
Sadly, the anti-nuclear movement in Germany is very strong. Germany also has a declining Coal industry. So after Fukushima shrewd politicians moved to shutter nuclear plants and return to coal. The worst part? German coal is some of the worst in terms of sulfur and pollutants.

Not sure why this was posted here, but this is one of Caesar's greatest victories in the Gallic wars. The engineering capabilities of the Roman legions were very impressive. For those who don't know, Caesar had built a wall around the city of Alesia to blockade the defenders in. When a relief force was dispatched to attack the Romans and break the siege, Caesar built another wall and line of defenses to hold off the attacking relief force. The Romans were able to defeat the Gauls and add it to the Roman Empire (Republic).
My guess is the OC is alluding to the large amount of manufacturing that happens in China. If that were to occur in the US then the pollution would happen here.
Definitely a fair point. I think we’ve all seen at least one of our favourite pieces of software fall in to this when the company needed another major release to bring in funds.
It's VERY HARD(to impossible) to get a US working visa, even if you are absolutely great. I think this is the hardest problem. Finding a job as a American in SV should be a piece of cake if you are an average developer with a bachelor and some experience(or even none).

Not to mention that H1B visas are horrible, like, your SO can't work, you are tied up with the company who gives it and they will lowball your salary in comparison to your other American peers.

I'd just move somewhere else like Europe(Germany/Ireland) where they have real immigration policies(as imperfect as they might be). If you need H1B. If you saved a lot of money you can try to use the green card route.

I've personally given up trying to go to the US and just embraced living in Europe, even though that it's impossible to get SV salaries. Maybe when I've accumulated enough money I'll just buy my way in. Living in America has always been a dream for me but I don't want to move there and have a very restricted lifestyle and feel disrespected by those immigration laws.

We don’t need to do anything. We’re responsible for only 15% of worldwide emissions, but nearly all of the new green energy tech and research.

If anything I expect us to increase in CO2 while we retrofit buildings with better technology, build clean power generation and grid tech, and continue in our research.

There are nations that need to drastically cut CO2 but it’s not the United States.
According to a zen meditation monk that I watched in a youtube video, you can meditate any time, anywhere, just by stopping and focusing on manually breathing.

Make sure that you are aware of every single breath in, and every single breath out. If your mind wanders and thinks about other things, that's ok, don't stress about it. Just make sure that you are focusing on your breathing while your mind is wondering.

If this is true, then it should be easy to meditate in the mornings whenever you do mundane time-consuming things like taking a shower or driving to work, for example.
> How do I compare CPUs on my own application without buying them? Is there some kind of daily-billed cloud computing service where I can choose any CPU and run my app on it?

Sort of. If you look at EC2 instance types [1], about 1/2 of them have a specific CPU related to them. Same thing with Microsoft's Azure instances [2].

There are a limited number of cpus available - they typically are xenons or AMD equivalents, so if you want data on consumer CPUS, the best you can do is try your app out in the cloud and then look at published benchmarks and try to estimate what your expected performance should be.

This is Austria, not Germany, though the laws are probably very similar.
If you buy goods instead of producing them, the emissions are shifted largely to the producing country.

It s therefore important to look at the footprint of imported and exported goods.
we need more Nuclear power to drop emissions faster and by bigger % while allowing energy production and consumption to increase at the same time
It wasn't luck. Iran has a very modern and capable military, ranked above countries like Canada and Australia in strength.

There are some optional memory safeties, including real-time leak detection, but this language targets an audience who value performance over total memory safety.

From what I've read, even considering the setup and decommissioning costs of nuclear power, it's still cheaper long term than coal power. Is this incorrect?
Three-body calculations suggest how black holes get close enough to merge
This is largely because we are replacing coal plants with fracked natural gas plants, which we are doing because fracked gas is cheap and plentiful.

Fracked gas is way better from an air pollution point of view and a little better from a direct carbon emission point of view. But when you consider the methane leaks from wellheads and pipelines and facilities it is roughly as bad as coal for climate. This is overall not a good story for climate as we lock in gas plants for decades.

Renewables and nuclear deployments did not factor in much to this decrease.
> will become as impractical as disabling JS

No, because that's not the same thing:

1) JS opt-in is an advanced setting, not a prompt dialog that appears when a page tries to run it and gets remembered on a site-by-site basis.

2) Until (unless) WASM gets full reign of web APIs, which is a long way off, it will continue to have very sparse legitimate use-cases. Are you trying to play a game, use Photoshop-the-web-app, or use an encrypted messaging service? Click "Yes". Otherwise, it's probably safe to say you don't want whatever-it-is running. It's rare that the average user would want to disable JS on a given site. It's much more likely that they'd want to disable WASM (just like it's much more likely that they'd want to disable geolocation, or push notifications).
U.S. Cancer Death Rates Are Dropping at the Fastest Pace on Record
Can’t speak for the UK, but in the US, literally every terrorism prosecution that involved a foiled plot in the past ten years or so has involved the FBI convincing some helpless, directionless loser to do a bad thing and then arresting said loser and claiming victory against Al-Qaeda. The entire plot had been made up by the FBI.

That’s not to say the guys who agreed to said plots were blameless. That’s to say that I’ve seen zero evidence that the FBI has brought any actual, independently motivated terrorists to justice by foiling their plots.

Stop right there. I'm not attempting to "spin" anything.
That's why you put a price on carbon emissions. The free market isn't going to solve it. There's an abundance of clean energy out there (e.g. Ontario sells the U.S. massive amounts of electricity at a loss), the problem is that coal's price doesn't reflect the damage it does to the planet.

Looks nice, unlike pretty much every other language i see posted here and in proggit it has a full tool suite (with IDE, debugger and even profiler) and documentation. It does look like a professional quality product.

EDIT: i think you need to add some information about which systems exactly are supported, especially for Windows where not everyone is running the latest version.

Also what about backwards compatibility? It might be too soon considering a 0.x release but how often does the language break existing code and what are the plans for after 1.0? No break at all no matter the cost, breaks every major version, total breakage regardless of version, ?

That's not how patents work. If Google had never heard of Sonos and independently developed a connected speaker, and the result was too similar to what the patent covers, then Google would owe Sonos. Less than if the infringement were willful, but it's still infringement per the law.
You want to build a widget in a factory. The factory consumes 1 MW of power to operate and emits 5 kg per hour of pollutants into the air as a byproduct of widget production.

If the work the factory does is outsourced to China, the widgets don't necessarily cost less energy or emissions to produce. So you've just shifted emissions from one country to another — it's an accounting trick, not a genuine reduction.
Thanks for coming along for the ride :)

I think you're right. There might have been more value in sending out one idea a week and vetting it really well.
The difference, as I (also not an expert) understand it is that HIV is unique in that it's so variable that the host never develops immunity to the disease. In most viruses, the immune system eventually develops an immunity and eliminates the disease. Influenza is an example of this; your immune system learns to fight off the strain that you get. The new vaccine every year is for the new strains.

The HIV vaccine mutates quickly enough that the host never develops immunity themselves, which makes triggering immunity with a vaccine very difficult.

A company policy of unlimited vacation is highly regressive and damaging to the workforce as a whole. It obviously creates a situation where it becomes a competition on who takes less vacation time, as an indicator of one’s dedication to the company (whether you think this is a reliable indicator of dedication is irrelevant—all that matters is that many people do think it is, and evaluate others from that perspective).

To avoid this kind of situation, people should be required to take vacation, both to actually get some rest, and to keep a reasonably level playing field for all employees.

I speculate, but have no data, that most exercises carried out by tourism boards like advertising, cultural events, etc. barely move the needle on tourism because they're based on the usual drab formula of advertising and cultural events.

To really create interest in a country, one has to export a desirable mainstream cultural product like food or media. One has to tell a story, and good branding requires a compelling story.

I mean, if all there was were nice advertising of sandy beaches and temples in Thailand, etc. I'd probably not be motivated to visit. Nothing wrong with it, but there's no emotional connection because there's no narrative (sandy beaches are everywhere, and there are temples in most Asian countries -- there's nothing distinct about these things in themselves). But the tourism board of many countries stick to this formula because there's not much imagination on what else there is to be done.

On the other hand I've eaten Thai food regularly due to the ubiquity of Thai restaurants in North America, watched viral tearjerker Thai commercials on Youtube, watched Muay Thai (popularized by American movies like Kickboxer, and more recently by Tony Jaa's movies like Ong Bak), read stories about Bangkok's traffic jams where people have to pee in a cup (probably hyperbole), seen Thailand featured on travel shows like Bourdain's -- the result of which I now have a human connection to Thailand and made me want to visit. (I did a few years ago and really enjoyed it)

I can't say I have the same feelings about Indonesia for instance, even though it's the 4th largest country in the world and probably quite fascinating to visit. Australians frequent Bali because it's a nearby tropical destination, but I'd bet many people around the world couldn't tell you much about Indonesia if you asked them. Now imagine if Indonesia started exporting its food, which I can attest is quite good based on what I had in Amsterdam. That would start a whole new conversation about Indonesia.
it's wild that there are enough high resolution commercial satellites flying that these took less than a day to capture (i.e. how long it took for one of Planet's swarm to be in position).

Yap, saw that while bidding on projects. So and so would find some relative or friend who matches one or more of those categories and then claim they were the owner on paper to get the contract.

Some schemes were running for 20 some years. For instance case 30 running since 1999, awarded $52M.

In case 18, they received over $200M. That's a lot of money wasted.

No, not really. Just 1.5 years after stealing $13.7 million.

There are more instances that are shady but harder to track, such as the government entity writing the specs to match exactly one company's product. Let's just say by a company owned by their college buddy. So on paper they may be lots of bids, but surprise, only this one company ends up matching up.
