We often have comments like "actually php is not that bad" and then people might think let's give it another try, only to find out that they came across all over the same quirks of language (design) and runtime behavior again. I think the main problem of php is that it's so inconsistent. I would rather prefer a bad language if it would happen to be at least very consistently so.
I believe the general idea now is that oil companies will pay for it as a fig leaf. Dig up 1000 tons of oil, pay for one ton of carbon capture, runs lots of commercials about your environment-friendliness, profit.
I assume this is fear of a Hindenburg type incident? I would assume that these aircraft would be carrying much less hydrogen, since it's used only for propulsion, not as a lighter than air filling. But, that's only speculation. Anybody have facts to inform this?
Yes, some of the stuff you said churches do that is a failure of the state has been called perseverance porn. Feel-good stories of people coming together to help pay for an out of control ambulance ride and so on.
How many trillions are churches spending, in dollars and hours, to provide basic services? And that with a dose of magical thinking, confirmation bias, cognitive dissonance, and appeals to authority.

IME even the most progressive churches can do a lot of 'soft' damage to already hurting people. Secular services certainly have their own faults, but at least they don't have so many invisible strings attached.

Please also keep in mind that secular services compete for resources and mindshare against religious institutions. It becomes a self reinforcing argument on the right that we need to keep the latter because the former is so bad.
I've read three articles talking about it on HN, but the science and models especially are shacky at best. Great models that will probably never work as intended.

Oxydes are really, really stable, and CO2 is one. Destroying an oxyde will cost at least as much energy as creating one, but in reality it's about 3 time the expense for C02.

The chemical/mechanical solution i've seen on HN[0] with olivine and tidal energy is quite interesting (that how ocean keep themselves from turning too acidic with CO2 capture), but while i'm pretty sure the chemestry bit is true, their paper is not peer-reviewed and i'm a bit skeptic about how fast the carbon will be absorbed.

It feel like it's nearly as much a silver bullet as fusion and ambiant temperature supra-conductor. So not big oil.

Once we ramp emissions way down, then we have to pull out the CO2 we've already emitted. It's not viable now, but EVs weren't viable 20 years ago. Once Europe and Stripe and California and all the early movers spend the first few billions, it will become much cheaper and more effective.

> China aside given that it's an authoritarian state I much prefer the control the state has over the church here in Germany, because it eliminates virtually all religious sectarianism and has led to the church having adopted teaching and a curriculum that is largely in line with the basic constitutional law and secular values rather than existing outside of it.

The picture you paint of government control over religion sounds very authoritarian to me. As far as “parallel societies are bad”, what happened to “diversity is our strength”?

It sounds like you have less than a passing familiarity with the issue. We have a better understanding of the dangers of invasives and a better regulatory framework to control them than we did in the 1700s. We have eradication programs trying to limit or stop the spread of some of the worst species. Most of them are not beneficial crops.

Maybe a little too soon to just give up completely?
I've run a team with re-frame and a team with reagent (and a convention of a single state atom.) Reagent by itself scaled far better. I use re-frame if it's a company convention, but I'd far rather just ditch it.

Plain reagent has no unnecessary function registry; mutations are done with `(swap! my-cursor foo/update-foo bar)` rather than the extra overhead of `(dispatch [::foo/update-foo bar])`. This also helps new people who rely on cursive to jump to definitions, and don't have a preferred emacs setup.

Reagent testing can be scoped to a single DB. In re-frame, you can clear the subscription queue (which will not handle callbacks from network calls putting events on to the queue when the callback fires, leading to flaky tests that receive unexpected events.) In reagent, you have more power, since you can call `(reagent/atom {})` with your test state and any callbacks specfic to the test will see their DB, regardless of when they resolve.

Re-frame's single events/subscriptions files scaled horribly; once we got beyond a few hundred business-logic-filled events, velocity on changes involving that file slowed down a lot. We broke convention and moved events into namespaces closer to the code.

I'm mostly agreeing with both you and the sibling - flow-sensitive typing is great. I think it's awesome in Kotlin, and removes the Java-style casting or manual unwrapping inside of if guards you always end up with.

As sibling said, ML-style languages get away with this a different way - chained "container" operations in Scala, for example, are "right-biased", so the only get called if the result of the preceding operation was a success or not null.

> Aviation accounts for just 2% of CO2 emissions. While it’s good that Airbus is considering alternative, greener fuels, because aviation will continue to grow, there are larger determinants of GHG emissions and warming.

Agreed. This is why, despite being an active member in the sustainable movement for nearly 18 years now, I've never once felt 'ashamed' due to my travels all over the World and will continue to do so. The model shows that unsustainable living habits, particularly those of waste and uncaptured value due to loss in these network,s are the real glut of not just CO2 emissions, but also of CH4 and other more harmful GH gasses.

If anything Travel, not to be mistaken with tourism, can open your eyes to seeing your Fellow Human as you see yourself as you interact and briefly and live as he does and in turn walk away with a Global sense of Community and an understanding that cannot be conveyed in books, TV or movies. I think it's why despite my 'radical thinking' I sincerely feel that the ICE based model for airplanes, and rockets will likely always remain. We should strive for constant refinement, not scrapping it since it accounts for so little of total GH emissions and can have a high ROI.

> These are pervasive beliefs among environmentalists. Meanwhile very little attention is paid to corporate and nation level changes.

No, its just not enforced up on by Nation States, as they often have strong incentives to keep things as they are, the environmentalists (I'm one) have been pushing for corporations to be held accountable for eco-cide [1], and be held accountable for all the costs it has and will incur, which in turn could help fund the remediation of those sites.

> The best thing you can do for the environment is vote. This feels counterproductive but it's entirely true.

No, entirely false, for the reasons listed above. The best you can do is think Globally and act locally about the problem. That is begin to get active in these matters in your community and share your ideas and build a collective of people driven to see these goals get accomplished in real-time; the State will not do it for you, and waiting and relying on them to do so is how we got to this point and why its so wide spread. People are still surprised when they're expected to use their corrupt Legal system and expect another result?! Your diffusion of PERSONAL responsibility to this apparatus is the real problem, not what specious reasoning or beliefs some 'environmentalists' may or may not have or use.

Voting gives you the illusion you're doing something, when you really aren't and are only really validating a flawed concept with your continual participation, and the idea of it ever really making any difference is where you see the divide between people who actually do, and those that only talk about it. The former being where most people remain to this day on the matter(s) even as the problems continue to compound.

Half a century ago some companies actually planned for things like that - a small nuclear reactor that you would bury under your house and it would provide you with power for decades. It went the same way the nuclear car did - the concept would work but it's just too dangerous without constant supervision.

In general I do nothing pro bono or on spec anymore even if it seems promising or fun because people who are not paying feel an unlimited entitlement to waste your time.

I find people who can do math are usually victimized in situations like that. The business bullshitters can say what they want and get away from it but for me the business value of something that is 95% right is zero. I'll do the hard work to get to 100% and in a fit of mindlessness they wreck it and then deny that they did.

Business folks use this phrase 'get your hands dirty' when it comes to fleshing out ideas in a framework where contradictions will be exposed. The underlying mindset is how people thought about blacks in pre civil war america, how they thought about Chinese people in the 1890s us or how they think about dailies in India today.

I think this is actually more to do with timing than audio.

I've made a jumping mechanism for a game that makes you move faster if you jump right when you hit the ground again. This system does not give any audible cues as to when you should jump.
When something in this system is slightly off, ie keyboard latency, jump height, gravity, etc. You can't time the jumps properly and you're left feeling that you somehow just can't do it but can't really pinpoint what the problem is exactly.

I think the same applies to many games. Especially fighting games.

With that said, I don't think writing code is about timing. I think it's nice when an editor feels very responsive, but I don't think it necessarily makes me more productive.

In this thread, I was responding to someone saying the concepts were simple but explained with too many buzzwords. I certainly have no recollection of someone of someone saying that before.

On the other hand, I have heard some say they'd want more code examples earlier. And, just as soon as I get time I'll be doing that. Unless you want to supply a PR yourself - given your posting frequency you seem very, very invested.

I wonder how long it's going to take for small developers to draw the line and stop voluntarily feeding the beast that is facebook and other centralized media companies. The feedback loop is continuously going to be against them, since they are basically training their users to use social media for discovery instead of visiting them directly. I moved my former facebook games away from their platform and even from their login to have peace of mind. A smaller community is healthier, and it will still be there when ordinary users get their brains completely fried from online bickering.

Diversity is a good thing, that's not changed. But diversity doesn't mean 'anything goes'. There's boundaries in a civil society for a reason.

Religious practice is fine but withholding a secular education from children or ditching modern medicine, or attacking the rights of women or exercising corporal punishment isn't.

I don't see how having the ability to put a stop to it is authoritarian, at least not any more than religious extremism itself is. The alternative to government exercising control over religion is having religion exercise control over government. The problem doesn't go away.
Some people/groups keep changing, breaking ground that’s new for them all the time. Others hit on a success, and keep doing that.

People have issues with the latter, where breaking new ground turns into milking previous success.
> That was the only point estimate he made in that piece

Although I'd argue that neither is an "estimate", he also says this: In the most pessimistic scenario, which I do not espouse, if the new coronavirus infects 60% of the global population and 1% of the infected people die, that will translate into more than 40 million deaths globally, matching the 1918 influenza pandemic.

Is the difference for you that in the first case he only says "if" and in the second he also appends "which I do not espouse"? All I can conclude is we must use language differently. I would never interpret a statistician as making an estimate if they give a single worked example from a range of numbers, much less consider this a prediction.

I would consider it a reasonable and serious criticism to point out that his range was wrong, though! Was it? Or do the current numbers fall somewhere within his range? My guess (although I don't know the current US numbers well enough to verify) his range is biased very low, but the upper end is still possibly correct.
I think this world would be better with out these fake ass journalists. Facebook sucks, but so do the people who write garbage like this.

Is this why I get magazines in the mail that I don't subscribe to? For the past six or seven years we get magazines like Esquire, Cosmopolitan, and a couple others off and on. I haven't bought or subscribed to a paper magazine in 20 years, yet these keep showing up in the mail.

I thought maybe it was the publication trying to adjust their demographics to increase rates (we live in a zip code with lots of college graduates and high incomes).

> the people giving money to churches to attend that church, should pick up the cost of going to that church. which includes property taxes. if they are not willing to pay for that, it's their problem. excusing churches from these taxes puts the burden for the church not on its members, but on everyone.

Your whole premise here is that property taxes should be considered part of the cost of attending church (your first and second sentences from the quoted section above), but that’s exactly what is up for debate. You need to support that premise if you want to say something more persuasive than “I think churches should pay taxes because I think churches should pay taxes”.
> GDPR applies, it has worldwide scope for data on EU citizens
