Who exactly is Michael Shellenberger and what is his game? It's pretty clear that he is not a trained scientist or a journalist. What qualifies him to speak for those of us who are concerned about climate change and issue an apology on our behalf? Seems rather grandiose to me. I'm thinking pundit with political ambitions.
Check the endorsements from local bar associations. Read the endorsements from various news outlets. They may not agree but may provide some background information to help with your choice. You can also (most time consuming) pull court records.
API design is a great example of this. Good API design incentivizes the right choices and clean integration. I often argue that it's not just "oh this API matches the spec better" or "this API is lower maintenance" but rather that I've found certain APIs can almost trick developers into writing good code. It's a neat experience.

That being said, there is some necessary internalization that a tool is solving a people problem which is maybe what OP is trying to get at. No matter how good an API is, if a developer is dead set on writing bad code, it'll be bad. So just deploying a new tool, no matter how clever, won't fix an organization that doesn't want to be fixed.

A number of older systems (zseries ztpf/nonstop/others) are used like this (basically a log dump on an interval).

LTO is designed to speed match to avoid shoe-shining (rewind/rewrite). AKA the drive changes the speed the tape is moving past the heads to accommodate the read/write speed of the application. Which is one of those fun computer cases where you can literally hear how fast your application is running. The more recent drives have very large ram buffers to smooth it all out too.

It provides same services as Apple ships with iOS (iCloud, Push messaging services, Find my Friend, AppStore, Location, etc.), except that in Android that's branded "malware that calls home" and in Apple world it's called "integral part of the OS".

The only difference here is that in Android you can actually separate the two.
so that if you switch from app A to app B, it can check your clipboard buffer for if you have a URL pasted into it and load that URL in the context of the app

example: if you copied twitter://foo/tweet/bar or https://twitter.com/foo/tweet/bar, it checks your clipboard and loads that tweet instantly

> The problem is a lot of tasks that people want their CPU to be fast at is exactly stuff that parallelizes almost embarrassingly well. Compiling code, video rendering, compressing files.

Compiling code isn't embarrassingly parallel unless you're building some project with lots of files from scratch. Video rendering and compression also don't benefit as well as you may think:

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=3900x-39...

Meanwhile, single-threaded performance affects pretty much 100% of what you do.

In the end, I don't think there's a big difference either way.
That depends on many factors. Living in a crowded European city I have plenty of shops in walking distance, protected sidewalks and a traffic nightmare. It would take me longer and I'd be much more likely to get into an accident when driving to any of the shops nearby; walking is easier and safer. If you have a city designed for cars like most US cities seem to be the story is very different.

Per se walking is definitely safer, given decent walking conditions. If all you got are sidewalk-less streets and only big shops that are a decent distance away, that's not the fault of walking but of bad city design. similarly in winter, if there's snow and your city clears the street but not the sidewalk then of course the sidewalk is less safe.

I'm going to speculate, in the same vein as you, that she was an otherwise law-abiding citizen who was nothing but polite and kind, and that the judge saw an opportunity to make an example of her. Judges have the power to hold people in contempt and jail them, so why did he not do that if she was a bad citizen, as you assert? He chose to jail her over a year and a half for unpaid parking tickets. Why? I think he didn't like something about her, and I don't think it was her demeanor.
> We have that. It's called Uber pool/Lyft Line.

In big cities where congestion is a problem, you have to look at space efficiency. Cars—including Uber & Lyft—are extremely inefficient in terms of the amount of space required to move a person from one place to another. In a big existing city, it's impossible to add traffic capacity, the roads just can't get wider. The only way to increase capacity is by using more space efficient forms of getting around. Buses, trains, bicycles, scooters, and foot traffic are space efficient. Uber and Lyft are not.

Uber and Lyft are also not economical for a lot of people which is one of the other big reasons you don't see them taking off in many places.

It's not super hard to imagine a parallel universe where any software can copy to the clipboard but only the OS, upon user request, can paste back out of it. And yet here we are wallowing in filth. Why, because people have never heard of a callback before?

Let the application include a "paste" handler function, and then all clipboard exfiltration must be initiated by the user at the OS UI layer. Simple. Safe.
Is there even a shred of credible evidence for any of the following:

> Humans are not causing a “sixth mass extinction”

> The Amazon is not “the lungs of the world”

> Climate change is not making natural disasters worse

> Fires have declined 25% around the world since 2003

> The amount of land we use for meat — humankind’s biggest use of land — has declined by an area nearly as large as Alaska

> The build-up of wood fuel and more houses near forests, not climate change, explain why there are more, and more dangerous, fires in Australia and California

> Carbon emissions are declining in most rich nations and have been declining in Britain, Germany, and France since the mid-1970s

> Netherlands became rich not poor while adapting to life below sea level

> We produce 25% more food than we need and food surpluses will continue to rise as the world gets hotter

> Habitat loss and the direct killing of wild animals are bigger threats to species than climate change

> Wood fuel is far worse for people and wildlife than fossil fuels

> Preventing future pandemics requires more not less “industrial” agriculture

Beyond the literal truth or falsity of the claims, how do they fit together into an argument that shows climate change is not an existential threat to human civilization? Last I checked, there was broad scientific consensus that climate change was real, caused (or, at least exacerbated) by humans, and would have massive impacts on human civilization. And then there's this person coming along and saying "Nahhh, none of this is a problem."

Reminds me of the Ferrari fuel injection controversy in F1 last season. The gist of it is the theory that Ferrari were cheating the maximum fuel injection rates, by tuning their injection system to inject more fuel when the injection sensor wasn’t taking a reading.

> This forced the phone to wakeup the radio a lot to reestablish connection.

Perhaps, but if you can tolerate some latency, you might not have to wake the radio all that much. A huge majority of notification use cases can be delivered "late" (at least if the phone is in sleep mode) and still be useful.

360 megabytes per second for LTO-8. You can consistently match/beat that linear speed with two hard drives, each costing a tenth as much as a tape drive.
I'm bullish on the Solid model, but they have a chicken-egg problem. Nobody is going to develop apps until a lot of people have their own pod, and nobody is going to use a pod until there are great apps for accessing their data.

The same thing happened with remoteStorage. There's initially a flurry of proof-of-concept apps, but no commercial quality killer apps to attract daily users.

AFAIK the only cloud storage protocol really used for app development is Google Drive. GDrive got successful by making a great cloud storage solution first, then once everyone had one app developers started making apps for it.

Personally what found even worse is the attitude of an arrogant Firefox developer (Marco), who came to /r/firefox and just outright dismissed any and all concerns, than closed all bugzilla tickets about it and just left subreddit (at least for several days).

It always seemed to me like the greatest hedge we could have is having human colonies on other planets. Because global disasters of so many kinds could sum up to extinction. While I realize that could be many decades away, it does seem like prioritizing it would make it happen much faster.

> The most important thing for reducing air pollution and carbon emissions is moving from wood to coal to petroleum to natural gas to uranium

This seems to match my intuition.

> Greenpeace didn’t save the whales, switching from whale oil to petroleum and palm oil did

What was the motivation for that switch? Petroleum/palm oil was cheaper?

> 100% renewables would require increasing the land used for energy from today’s 0.5% to 50%

That seems astonishing, not just that it would require so much but that our current use is already so much area.

At least reserve that functionality exclusively for the operating system on the grounds of "TRUST YOU? HAHAHAHAHA".

When I graduated from college I stored all my projects on a magtape. About 10 years later I discovered that there were essentially no drives in existence that could read it, because 1) the drive that created it was hopelessly obsolete and 2) it had drifted so far out of spec that even a machine of the same make/model could not read the tape.

I threw it out, and have been soured on tape for long term storage ever since.

Fortunately, I had also downloaded a few files over the phone to a PDP-11 with an 8" floppy drive. I can no longer read those floppies, but I regularly copy all my files to new media every year or so.

The reality is there is quite a bit of wiggle room in the interpretation of the law. Someone who is conservative and 'tough on crime' may want a judge who is biased toward stricter prison sentences. Someone who is more liberal may want a judge who shows more leniency and is biased toward finding other ways to rehabilitate the guilty.

Its kind of like how two competent people can implement a POSIX compliant operating system in different ways (microkernel or monolithic, emacs vs vi, systemd vs sysvinit).

Also that many judges are appointed.

> In the last election, I tried to find out about the local judges on my ballot and could find virtually nothing.

In my last election I had the voting booklet. There were two judges running for a position. One had a website and the other (the incumbent) didn't.

Honestly, a lot of candidates I found didn't have websites. If you aren't going to take the time to make a simple website to state your policies I'm not sure I trust you to be transparent and make decisions on my behalf. In 2020 if you don't have a website you are demonstrating to me that you don't want to inform me, the voter, about yourself.
It's not just speed, it's complexity. I've seen the cycle play out enough to know the real thing that drives how productive a ticketing system feels: How many distinct kinds of people are using it.

The new one always seems great, because whatever team pilots it is the only team using it, so they're able to keep it nice and lean and closely adapted to their own needs. But, as soon as the decision to migrate is made, then you don't just have additional teams using it. You have additional teams wanting to use it as a communication and monitoring channel, and building up reports and metrics and dashboards on top of it, and imposing restrictions on the ticketing system that ultimately limit other groups' ability to streamline their own workflows, and by the time everyone realizes they're back on the same old pain train yet again, it's too late to do anything about it.

It seems that developers are always the ones who get hit the hardest, because they end up with the largest number of outside parties who want to get involved in their business.
Linear brings me joy every day.
I used to struggle a lot when I first started studying mathematics seriously as part of my Computer Science degree. I could never understood how people ever came up with proofs for problems that seemed completely abstract and foreign to me. Even the very notion of proving a theorum or time complexity itself seemed alien.

It was a painful journey, but in the end I found that it comes through the following:

Practice, a lot. I don't believe that anyone pulls solutions out of thin air. When tackling an abstract problem, people draw on the similar things that they do understand and then leap to the solution they're chasing.

Study the field you're trying to understand. Read over as many examples of solutions to abstract problems, and really analyze why they work. Try to solve your own problems, using what you've observed in those ones. Hop between these two until you start to close the gap more.

In reality, you're always going to make lots of mistakes and the practicing is never going to end. Its all part of the learning, and that's a journey that shouldn't stop.

If you're interested in this field of Mathematical Logic, I suggest you listen and read about it as much as possible, that you try to pursue problems you are interested in, and that you collaborate and discuss things with others. This constant doing, in small quantities but without getting up, will eventually help you see the abstract problems for something that is much more relateable.

This is a really misleading piece, by the way. This person has been speaking against environmentalism for over a decade now; he literally wrote a book about it sixteen years ago that attracted an amount of controversy. He doesn't deserve to speak for environmentalists; his actions for the past decade are pro-capital, any pro-environment effect was secondary. He's an economist, not an environmentalist, and he's trying to sell you a book, not fix anything.

3. Technically it may be true but it's obviously not an honest argument because they wouldn't blame the victim for other crimes. If that argument were valid, it'd also be the workers' fault for working in such a dangerous place and allowing crime to be committed (against themselves).

Constant Cash Flow Review – Get 3-Figure Daily Income Easily
https://bit.ly/38fHL2a
As a matter of fact, the ability to make money online fascinates just everyone on this planet. Just imagine, you can make money online, decide your own business hours, be your own boss, and drive a passive income ticking into your personal bank account on a regular basis.

Sounds good, right?

Honestly, it’s a dream that lives on in the hearts and minds of people everywhere.

However, knowing how to actually make money online seems easy when internet marketers portray it, but that’s far from the truth. Most who’ve continuously tried and failed to generate any semblance of an income on the internet have been.

But with Constant Cash Flow, no matter where you live, you can make money online as long as you follow this method.

To get all the information about it, let’s dive into my Constant Cash Flow Review today.
