No, it’s like saying “Delhi has too many Hindi speakers” or “Delhi has too many Brahmins” or “there are too few Muslims in Delhi” or “Delhi isn’t doing enough to combat colorism”.

> or "Beijing is too Chinese"
No, it’s like saying “Beijing relies too much on unregistered rural hukou holders who effectively form an invisible underclass unable to build wealth” or “Beijing is mistreating its growing African minority” (https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/04/15/chinas-racism-is-wrecki...).

Perhaps you should educate yourself on the real and pervasive socioeconomic, class, and racial divides present in any country, just like in the United States, before proceeding to make reductionist analogies.
I agree with the GP about the air pollution. I also find the Salt Lake reeks in the summer. When I would go with my dad as a kid on his business trips, the smell in the summer was really off-putting. I think it's the same problem Mexico City has. Salt Like City is in a bowl, and there's no coastal winds to blow the pollution away like the bay area has, so the pollution just lingers. I do think it's a really clean city on the ground though and Park City is so close and really amazing for Skiing / Snow Boarding. The national parks in Southern Utah are also top notch.
Valuations that in hindsight end up being too optimistic aren't unique to public markets. WeWork didn't have to go public to be valued at $47 billion. In fact it was the act of trying to go public that brought the valuation back to reality.
I used to be a huge fan of quiver, until one day I was writing a very useful piece of text, later, the day finished and I turned off my computer. When I turned it back on and opened Quiver, the note was gone. And it had 0 trace of it.

That time I understood that I undermined the importance of a simple note taking app. Which drives me away for the new electron based app of the month. Because they can just stop being maintained and my content is stuck there.

If this is true, what can anyone really do about this type of text message spam? Blocking the numbers the messages is no good since each message comes from a separate number.

I would hazard that your going to be put into the phase 2 sucker category now as a result.

What happens in phase 2? A more targeted attack? Something intended to short circuit someone's ability to think rationally? For example, instead of something mundane like loose 20 pounds! It will be something like You must follow this link and log into your account in 24 hours or you will not be able to access it again.

I think the issue is, that many don't even have a working business model and are despesrate to find one after they went public. Even though sometimes, there is simply no business model, no way to earn money with a service, no way to make a profit. And in such a situation a company should pay their employees in equity or take money from investors who essentially speculate for a good IPO to get their investment back.

Apart from what other comments already correctly stated, the more straightforward answer to your questions is probably: They did and they do develop and build reference designs. Take any silicon you can buy today and very likely you will find a detailed reference design in the data sheet. These designs don't exist only on paper, they are built and used for demonstration purposes and sales. As a customer often you can buy what is basically the reference design in form of evaluation boards too.

You can see every stage of decomposition: newly fallen trees, fallen trees with ample ferns and seedlings sprouting, and earthen berms covered in vegetation that are basically hugelkultur.

Seems reasonable to me. One of the first things I’d reach for if I wanted to build a flexible tool that’d perform well, last, and be broadly useful is the ability to chop up the workload, ideally into a fixed size, but into some practically-by-convention-probably-not-too-big size as a (riskier) fallback if fixed size wasn’t practical.

There is a LOT of them.

I am working on creating mine. I want to make it different, to make it sucks less. I am a long-time user of those apps. For me it sucks for different reasons.

For example, usually, there is tons of features I never use. It's overwhelming.

On the other hand, there are moments when I wished I could just modify the app on hand and add some features (e.g, adding a duration for a task or adding dependencies between tasks).

I would love to hear from you, please try to provide me ith as much context as possible.
The very concept of "error handling" is absurd.

There are no errors, just unnecessary abstractions and control flow hacks.
You try to open a file; either you can or you cannot, and both possibilities are equally likely and must be handled by normal control flow in your program. Forcing an artificial asymmetry in the treatment of both cases (as championed by the error handling people) adds ugly complexity to any language that tries to do so.

Why dump core when you can log the bug and continue? Sure, in development we want things to fail fast and loud, but when deployed with a customer, I don't want my whole program to crash because there is one obscure code path that has a problem.

And even for conditions that the program is expected to handle, 99.9% of the time all it can do is notify the user and ask for guidance, which means that the error must be bubbled up from a networking or storage layer all the way to the presentation layer - a perfect task for exceptions or something like an error monad.

The only problem with exceptions or error monads is that they get tricky in the presence of resources that need to be released, and even that is well handled with patterns like RAII.

I have a garden in a front-yard with rock-hard clay. I'm no ideologue and still use synthetic fertilizer, but composting has been fantastic as well.

First of all, after recycling and composting, I have very little trash waste - maybe a 10 gallon trash bag every couple weeks. Even junk mail and most packaging goes in the compost. Every so often driving by Starbucks I'll grab some of their giant "Grounds for Your Garden" bags and add that in too, and so the overall volume of compost is pretty high.

After digging into the rock-clay a foot or two, I add soil+compost+logs and line each bed with logs that hold its shape but also compost into the ground over time. As you say I've put in very little effort after the initial, but the improvement over a few years in the entire yard has been dramatic - it's basically been brought back to life.

The loop from garbage -> compost -> plant food -> my food is great, honestly makes me feel better about garbage. Highly recommended pandemic project.

Zepp Holzer is the master of this dichotomy.

The thought is that Humans have already used (abused?) machinery such as bulldozers and chainsaws to drastically reduce the water holding capacity of the landscape, and our task is to use these machines in one big push to drastically improve the water holding capacity of the land permanently and then to not need to use them any longer.

See any of Zepp's large scale projects. He has been successful, and failed a few times, in projects all over the world with some amazing transformations.

Cos 333: Advanced Programming Techniques
"This is a course about the practice of programming, an attempt to expose students to the development of real programs. Programming is more than just writing code. Programmers must also assess tradeoffs, choose among design alternatives, debug and test, improve performance, and maintain software written by themselves and others. At the same time, they must be concerned with compatibility, robustness, and reliability, while meeting specifications. Students will have the opportunity to develop these skills by working on their own code and in group projects."

I'm sorry you lost your friend. It sounds like that was a long battle and it has weighed on you ever since. I am glad you were there to support them. I know from personal experience how obnoxious it can be to be bombarded with this-and-that alternative therapy.

But this lack of progress is what I find so frustrating, along with the hostility towards anyone who is trying to change that. Many sick people are willing to take a risk to progress the science. The insistence on 100% safety and unpractical clinical trials that only allow for patent-able medicines is ultimately killing more people by stalling progress. We haven't really cured a major disease in over half a century. That needs to change.

If a sick person claims that some sort of alternative therapy cured them, then there is absolutely _something_ there. It cannot always be explained away by the placebo effect, as the placebo effect is temporary. You're not going to cure a chronic disease with the placebo effect. These are important data points that need to be discussed. And a sick person should be able to discuss it regardless of their credentials. Their first-hand experience is valuable and contains objective truth.

But I agree that to claim that since an alternative therapy cured one it must cure all is irresponsible. Often times we do not even know what the root cause of an illness is, and until you do, just because two people have the same symptoms does not mean they have the same disease. There's also the issue of co-morbid diseases. There is rarely a one-size-fits-all approach (and it's seriously unfortunate that modern medicine insists that one treatment must work for everyone, otherwise it's quackery).

How are they irrelevant? The reason there are countries that developed and became first world countries is precisely because they used fossil fuels. Preventing other countries from doing the same for the sake of protecting the environment (which by the way is never in stasis) is simply condemning people to poverty, disease, basically to cripple poor nations. It seems very nationalistic under the guise of protecting the environment.

>undoing emissions from 1850-2020 would require more than the total biomass of the entire planet.

So we created more carbon than existed? Are you familiar with the fact that matter and energy is neither created nor destroyed? Carbon existed before as animals and other biomass, and you are saying now that the total biomass of the planet is not enough and we generated CO2 from thin air?

>It is also important to note that, even if it was physically possible to solve this problem in this way, you can tell it isn’t economical to do so, because if it was we’d already have fully (not partially) replaced fossil fuels with biofuels.

The dearman engine is zero emissions refrigeration truck, and runs on nitrogen. It is not being adopted into more developed countries despite being better, because of legacy vehicles. There are many reasons why biofuel hasn't taken off in the US but in many other countries it has.

So making more expensive technology for carbon capture is more economical? The problem they solved then was not fuel recycling, it was carbon capture. You can look it up (I'm on mobile) and state the issues with it. Even at the cost of $50 a tree, its 50 billion to stop worrying about carbon emissions.

Open source gives engineers better frameworks and components to use so you can develop better apps than if you started from scratch on your own.

It still takes engineers to use the frameworks even if they are open source.

I think open source and the web have created more jobs rather than reducing them.

With open source you can learn from existing projects, pull in projects to your work to save time.

This time savings can be used to create and improve other custom features in what you are building.

If anything I would say open source is creating jobs and empowering developers to learn new techniques, create better apps and level up in knowledge and earning power.

I think it's also allowing people to get in to programming that wouldn't have a chance otherwise if you had to pay for every framemork/tool you wanted to use so open source creating more opportunities than it's reducing.

And open source can be a full time job.

Totally agree on basically all points. api however said the concept of memetics, not the field of study, is bunk.
Cultural divisions along linguistic, religious and political fronts. That’s why the Cantons have so much autonomy. The Swiss Federal government has a much smaller much less high stakes political portfolio because the largest points of controversy, like naturalization, are handled by referendum at the Cantonal rather than the Federal level.

The Federal Council is also elected by the legislature, the Federal Assembly, with the precise composition negotiated through Parliamentary procedure. Every member of the Council has parties to answer to, more so than a directly elected individual with a mandate that can appeal directly to voters and have more popularity than the party backing them. As Swiss culture is far from monolithic, all Federal politics has to be conducted within a coalition. This is true in America as well, it’s just the coalitions are formed under the auspices of the political parties when they form their platforms, which is why it causes problems when you have a directly elected President that is more popular than the party that nominated him.

There’s a lot of lessons here for America, but we wouldn’t be able to transplant the Swiss system here without heavy modification. For example, almost the entirety of the referendum process described in the original article could have been a description of California’s ballot initiative process, with only minor differences in details and processes, and I would argue has been to the detriment of the State of California.
