> but there in indisputable proof of the basic method of action (CO2, CH4, H20 greenhouse effects) and we can measure that effect in the lab

Yes, and those measurements tell us that without a large amount of positive feedback, the effect of greenhouse gases alone is too small to worry about.

> and then correlated it to measured climate change that normalized for various known climate cycles

Nope, this has not been done. The climate models cannot reproduce the data at all with just the measured greenhouse effect of the various greenhouse gases. They have to dial in a large amount of positive feedback, and even then the only period of time for which they reproduce the data tolerably well is the latter half of the 20th century. The model outputs don't match the early 20th century warming, they don't match the mid 20th century cooling, and they don't match the early 21st century pause.

The correct, honest scientific conclusion from all of this is that the models are simply not good enough at this point, i.e., we don't understand how the climate works well enough at this point, to support multi-trillion dollar policy decisions.

I would be more concerned about writes going through additional fs layers and about abrupt termination of a container.

You generally are trusting a database to keep your data safe, so those things will contribute to data loss.

Remember the freakout about PostgreSQL not handling sync() correctly on Linux due to ambiguity in the man page? Having a networked filesystem + additional abstractions (like layers) etc only reduces data durability.

This is wrong. As a native Slovenian speaker and fluent in English I can say that "spomenik" is as specific in our language as "monument" is in English. This page is the first time I ever saw anybody attribute the word to specifically mean these old socialist monuments.

Honestly I felt the same way, but the trick is to pick a start up where you know how and are able to do this. Or find a partner who can. The most likely way to do this is to go to conferences, happy hours, and introductions from friends.

If you are writing software for accountants and don't know how to spend time with accountants you're screwed, if you are writing software for in house counsel at utility companies and you don't know how to hang out with them you're screwed, and this goes for pretty much any B2B startup.
I did this with our early customer by offering to help in a few different ways. Especially if they are geographically a bit more distanced then you can tell them you would be happy to be there for 1 or 2 days to do multiple things, like run a few workshops, have a coffee with their manager and meet with IT (all three just examples). It isn't a very strange question to ask to use a spare desk in between those things.

Bailey College sounds a lot like Balliol College. I guess this was from the era where you didn't use actual names, though the universities themselves were named correctly IIRC (Hacker went to the LSE). The show also had imaginary countries that sounded like they belonged in certain regions.

The comments about having classrooms is because the Oxford and Cambridge colleges tend not to teach people in groups the size you might be used to at high school. You'd have tutorials with one or two students and a Prof in their office, and if your Prof was nice they'd even give you some booze while sitting like the characters are doing there. There are lectures as well with hundreds of students in huge halls. Depends a lot of what you're studying but I did a mix of engineering and social science, so had a sniff of both.
"Tiger" and "coronavirus" are both buzzwords right now (new Tiger television show promotion). BBC click farming is understandable now that citizens are expected to be parsing their RSS feeds more often than usual (mandatory quarantine idling worker minds).

Yes, as a founder keep to the mindset that you don't have to really do sales. You can do a much more powerful thing: Do business by talking about the business with them.

Especially in the early days it's not super key to extract 100% of the potential budget from a client. It's much more useful to get to 80% of their budget and have a very strong relationship for feedback and to get referrals for new customers. You do that by doing business with them as a founder instead of applying hardnose sales tactics.

At best, that’s “straw Vulcan” rationality. The emotional reaction of a crowd is an important part of any world model.

At worst, without all the anxiety you’re opposing, too many people catch it at the same time and the death rate rises to match the hospitalisation rate. When that happens you’re not talking 75 million dead, you’re talking 375 million to 2.25 billion dead depending on which of the enormous range of hospitalisation estimates I look at.

> The slide deck as a standalone artifact is expected to communicate the substance of the talk.

Curiously, this is the exact opposite of most advice for delivering public speeches (then again, most of that advice is for sales talks, not informative talks, so one has to filter it anyway). Slides aren't suited for effectively communicating a message outside of the context of a talk; at that point, it's better to just write a document. But I imagine the "principle of least effort" is what leads to slides being used the way you described in b).

But similar monuments exist in lots of post communist countries and are called differently based on local languages, so you would need to use different names for these monuments in each country which kind of defeats the purpose of language translation... we need to accept that words don't have 1:1 mapping.

Typically additional attributes would need to be configured aka "released" by the IdP on a per-SP basis. I've also never heard of any specific server requirements when interfacing with Shibboleth. SAML is a standard and any generic library that supports SAML (e.g SimpleSAMLphp, saml2-js) can, in theory, work with Shibboleth. It sounds like there are other organizational/operational restrictions or requirements in place.

That seems to me to be an implementation detail though.

There's no real reason you can't have a compiler that converts exception-throwing-code into error-code-returning-code. That'd basically cost you the performance of a couple if-statements per function call return, which doesn't seem too excessive to me.

Of course most languages don't implement exceptions this way and I'm sure there's a good reason for it but you can still choose -- as a language implementor -- to have cheap exceptions.
It’s a matter of parts vs labor cost. For the shop, the labor cost is already sunk: they’re paying their mechanics to be present whether or not they’re actively working on a job. The replacement bumper is an expensive part that requires little labor, and so doesn’t offset the shop’s previous investment in labor contracts as much as the repair work would.

Also, mechanics in the US usually charge book time instead of actual work time to customers: you pay for the hours that the manual says the job should take regardless of how fast or slow the mechanic actually is. So, more efficient mechanics prefer labor-heavy jobs because working faster than average effectively brings in a bonus.
Gamecube controllers.

Three console generations later, Nintendo keeps re-releasing them.

I'm not sure why they don't lean in harder and embrace the design as the standard Nintendo controller. It is the most ergonomic and intuitive game controller I've ever used. The asymmetric layout and shape of the A, B, X, and Y buttons make it impossible to forget which is which. All the controller needs for a 2020 refresh is a ZL button, a true analog for the C-Stick, and a slightly larger D-Pad.

The electronics underneath are rock solid--a favorite for modders. Nothing has really changed except the cord length and the omission of metal braces in the triggers.
Some stores sales are just deferred, but many of them are never getting those sales back. The owners would be nuts to agree to make late rent payments -- if they weren't open, they don't earn. By the time we're finally no longer quarantined in the bay area, we aren't going to go out and eat 3 months of restaurant meals in arrears.

We're now deciding who pays for the economic shortfall, and stores should play hardball. Do landlords want to be renting space in the coming retail apocalypse?

Cool paper. Thanks for sharing. I’ve worked with OTFT before and this paragraph from the paper pretty much sums up my experience too.

“The operating frequency of the base-line design for OTFTs is approximately 200 Hz while for silicon it is 800 MHz. The optimized design frequency is approximately 40 Hz and 1.36 GHz respectively for organics and silicon. The modest per- formance of OTFTs can be a decent match for applications that need modest computing such as sensors, RFIDs, toys, remote controllers, etc., as described in Section 2. Many of these embedded processor use cases employ embedded processors in the kHz range [31, 35].”

> Studies based on climate models that are overpredicting warming

Models in general haven't overpredicted warming, as several people in this discussion have tried to educate you.

> If your coastal city has a problem with sea level rising a couple of feet, your coastal city has already had a problem for a century or more, and you ignored it.

I'm not at all clear what your point is here. It looks like you're arguing that because something is changing over the course of several decades it's not as much as a problem. Surely that can't be it though, because that makes no logical sense. From an economic sense it's just as expensive.

> The idea that we can magically stop the climate from changing ever again is ridiculous.

A strawman argument. That is not what I wrote.

The climate is changing faster by far than it has in all human history, and probably in the history of our planet.

Dealing with the effects is also much more difficult now compared to most of human history. When you have 7 or 8 billion people living on the planet, largely in huge cities, it's far more challenging.

It's just a lot easier and cheaper to avoid breaking something in the first place than it is to try to fix it afterwards.

It's honestly some fairly trivial AST-twiddling to support that feature. the compiler can simply detect cases where the left-hand-side of a comparison is /also/ a comparison and change the AST to make it two comparisons combined with an AND statement.

That said I find comparison chaining rather confusing and unexpected so I make a point of avoiding its use. Typing it out as two comparisons hardly saves any effort in any case.
Sokoban is at the spritual center of a relatively new (or newly invigorated) and pretty hardcore subgenre of puzzle games. Who knew there could be so many interesting ways to push blocks around in a grid? Some good ones are Heroes of Sokoban I, II and III[1][2][3], A Good Snowman Is Hard To Build[4], Stephen's Sausage Roll[5], Ferdy the Cat[6], Kine[7], Snakebird[8] and Baba is You[9].

Each and every one of these games have undo. That's critical for this type of game. Forcing the player to restart because of a single mistake is about the least interesting way to make a puzzle game more difficult.

The big advantage would be that all that metadata would also be decentralised, i.e. I'd have a backup of all that on my own PC, and I could push it to a different host to automatically transfer everything, whereas e.g. GitLab has had to write custom import scripts for GitHub metadata, and you just have to hope that everything maps cleanly if you use it.
