We are at the point of last resort. There is no viable way to solve the distributed problem of carbon emission. People can argue all they want about renewables and regulation. Half the world won't give a damn, and we'll be left where we are.

Carbon capture is a much more centralized response. It actually might be possible for a few rich nations to get together and implement systems to drive it at scale. Unfortunately, we are already at a point where there might be no other mechanism to intentionally modulate the climate.

Coding brings out the hate because it's such a precise discipline and people,
especially those in management, optimize for optics rather than correctness.

In my more sober moments I like to consider the smallness of the entire
enterprise of my employer. Yes, everyone around me sucks but what other than
my sanity is being hurt by the stupidity of it all? Nothing, really.

If that doesn't work (it doesn't for me), think: "I'm being paid to smile and
nod when fed horseshit."

The ultimate issue with all these studies is the sample bias. How did they source the independent SaaS companies (there are over 40 thousand plus, follow power laws and most are economically duds). All samples are biased but there are methods of “correcting” the bias. Historical errors are legion:

By the way the key takeaway from this post is that you can make more money driving for Uber than starting an independent SaaS business. You have to be irrational to start an independent SaaS business (applicable to all startups as well).

In fact the only folk who benefit from independent SaaS are the supplier food chain. Levi’s was the main beneficiary of the gold rush. The SaaS conference organizers seem to be among the beneficiaries of the SaaS “gold rush”.

(speechless)
In Switzerland during WWII, the population was advised to be suspicious of anyone not speaking the local dialect, especially of they asked for directions. The army removed all traffic signs in case of an invasion [0] and stores did not sell road maps anymore. Swiss German is (as most dialects) notoriously difficult to learn in later life for speakers of other dialects.

(Slightly related story: some years ago, I traveled back to Germany by train. A few minutes past the border, German border control went through the train and asked me for my ID card. I then realized that I had left my German ID card in the scanner at home a few days earlier because I needed a copy of it. The border control then naturally went through my backpack, which (what I then realized with horror) contained ca. 30 packs of matches. A few weeks earlier, we had a BBQ at a local lake and realized on the way that we had no matches to lit the fire, so we went to the next supermarket and just bought the cheapest offer, which happened to be a pack of 30. So there I was, crossing the border with no identification and nothing on me but a backpack full of matches. When they asked why I had so many matches on me, my 20-year old brain went into full self-destruction mode and I stuttered the following: "He-he-he, its not enough to build a bomb, isn't it?".

Luckily, I have an accent which makes it absolutely clear that I grew up around a major city in my home state. After asking me some questions about my birth town, other personal facts and making some calls, they didn't even fine me. I am quite sure that this would've been slightly more complicated if I had spoken perfect standard German, or had a foreign accent.)

I'm curious how different living next to a highway is to living in a dense urban city though (like NYC) and if it's different why? In either case you have a lot of car traffic (probably closer to your place of residence than people that live close to a highway) Not to mention if you live in a dense urban city then you will spend more time walking directly next to traffic.

Those people wouldn't end up on a random documentation page for SQLite then, making this argument superfluous.

This discounts which term came first. Back in 2007 it was just fine to talk about this as being serverless, the marketing term gained popularity years later. They even talk about the more recent definition on the page, I really don't get why people in this sub thread get triggered by some random documentation page written over a decade ago. There's no need to further change or delete that page because this discussion is lacking any practical relevance.

I agree that HIIT is not some magical training methodology, and that elite endurance athletes do not train by only doing HIIT.

My guess is that if you are only willing to train in the 3h/week range, maybe HIIT is your best bet.

Steven Seiler has studied how most elite endurance athletes train, and found that they generally follow a polarized training model which is ~80% of sessions at low intensity (long endurence runs/rides/etc...) and 20% at high intensity.

Well you effectively report some of the workload normally handled by the server to the OS's filesystem layer, that's true. In particular you rely heavily on the FS locking working correctly. Calling the FS a "server" is a bit of a stretch though.
How would plastic kill us? The only issues I'm aware of are

1) the pollution of oceans, which seems very fixable with much less effort than replacing plastic (filtering water at river outlets and in coastal waters, preventing ships from just dumping their stuff everywhere).

2) microplastics. In marine environments that seems solvable by solving point 1, and while a cause for concern I don't think any negative effects outside marine environments or food chains containing marine animals have been shown?

Of course particulate matter is somewhat related, but wheels on asphalt will cause tiny airborne particulates no matter what material we use to make tires, so we might be better off just filtering our air in any case.

The numbers were referring to carbon capture and sequestration projects, not renewable energy projects. Both help with getting carbon out of the atmosphere. But they are not the same thing.

Energy projects generally produce or help deliver energy for the locale that creates and funds them. That means there is political will for them, locally.

CCS projects benefit the global climate, but not the local taxpayers directly. I’m all for them but your average climate denier is not going to be onboard. It’s way beyond being a hard sell. Hopeful is not the feeling that naturally arises here.
This is a tabloid drama story for nerds.. a domain dispute over a hypothetical website jointly owned by multiple countries? That website doesn't even exist and probably was never on the radar until the domain came up.

Cement releases CO2 as part of it's chemical curing process. It contributes to about 8% of worldwide emissions.

Another industry where CO2 as a chemical byproduct is vented at a massive scale in the atmosphere is with the steel industry.

Both are good targets for carbon capture at the source.

We need remote work culture-now more than ever
This seems like an annoying decision for DIY, but the upside seems to be less cable routing. That will surely save costs. Cables and connectors are more expensive than silicon these days.

Old system: Each device needs to connect to PSU and to the motherboard

New system: Each device needs to connect to just the motherboard. Right now, parallel cables, and in a year or two, a common cable carries power+data.

I predict the natural conclusion to this trend will be:

* 2-wire connections, with DC power and AC data on the same lines, a la microphone phantom power. Connectors and cables will be simpler. Electronics will be slightly more complex.

* I predict things like power ready will be communicated over that data line, as will metadata. Instead of 12V sense, we'll have an ADC of voltage on the motherboard communicated back digitally.

* 12V will be on all the time. 12V standby will be achieved by switching power off to some components on the motherboard, and communicating back to the PSU that we don't need a lot of power for a while.

I predict all of this will make computers less hackable for DIY.

Serverless in this situation means that you don't really have to provision or setup an actual server to handle the database, the client itself just need the ability to read and write an SQLite file.
Other than design, it would work through an API, instead of links and embeds.

Correct. When you're coding really close to the metal you discover (and perhaps depend upon) all kinds of shenanigans that a higher level language compiler might work around.

I’ve noticed changes, but I’m not sure what to attribute to Google vs the net changing.

No, but it is being argued that it’s different/more significant than a standard domain.

I saw a great solution to the over-eating problem in one sushi spot in Italy. Not exactly a buffer, but you could pay upfront and order as much as you want per person. The caveat is that you can only order four servings at once and you pay the full a'la carte price for everything you hadn't fully eaten.
That process is entirely electric and so the benefits depend completely on the energy provider, is 10 years away from actually-maybe happening, and requires CCS to be carbon neutral. The last bit is the most relevant to this particular discussion.

Undefined behaviour is in fact runtime behaviour. To catch it, you need to run the program (or use static analysis tools).

Calling that a weakness is like complaining that the compiler can't know all inputs to a running program in advance.

Programming and writing documents are different activities. One reason you don't want to see everything you've ever written is because it is wrong, or maybe you changed your views in the process of writing, or no longer important to the point you're making.

I was wondering what it had to do with the Raspberry Pi considering the hostname, and was secretly hoping this could be a way to use a bigger power supply to power in a Raspberry Pi and also supply 12V to standard 3.5" HDD. That would simplify the wiring for those who wants to make a NAS.
Even the organism responsible for certifying the planes does not seem informed enough to notice the difference. So I will go with: no they are not.
If we had any reason to go there we could build a starship that can reach Alpha Centauri in 100 years or so travel time [1]. Building a ship of a few hundred meters diameter and stocking it with a supplies for 100 years and a few thousand thermonuclear bombs as fuel would be a giant effort, but very doable. Once you have civilization on both ends of the journey you can probably set up a less energy intensive travel method (maybe a scaled up skyhook [2])

Off topic, but when will we finally dispense with the faux gravitas of the term “founder”? Congratulations, you and your partner started a business. Since this apparently happens thousands of times a day, a frequency likely matched by the dissolutions of the same, the use of the term “founder”, which implies a far from established permanence, is probably a bit premature.
> Cement releases CO2 as part of it's chemical curing process. It contributes to about 8% of worldwide emissions.

Just to nitpick here, but I think this is crucial to understand: 8% is more plausibly a number for the total emissions of cement, including energy emissions. The chemical emissions are more in the range of 4%.

One observation I will make about cryptocurrencies is that it is a field that does have a lot of technical excellence.

Binance is a dramatically better platform than Questrade, for instance. It just blows my mind how superior the former is than the latter, despite the former dealing in imaginary money.

Tried my hand at cryptocurrency trading for a bit -- had $300 USD worth of free stellar coins that I got for filling out a form years ago and had completely forgotten about until recently. So zero of my own dollars, might as well have some fun.

Did deep analysis, trading strategies, used a DNN to analyze every possible trading input.

But it's all bullshit. The crypto trading market has zero correlation with any logic or rational behavior. To the point that the bizarre fluctuations seem like nothing more than manipulation.

Lost those stellar freebies. Ah well.
