This is something I've been meaning to look into, but it still doesn't change the postgis30/postgresql11-server dependency in the current ports tree.

I'm sure I could work around it, but then I start to ask myself whether I'd rather do FreeBSD software administration or create an OpenSuse VM, install the packaged software (which is already the right version and already has the right config options), and work on my GIS project.

I'm happy with the critics.

Judging is free and I didn't consider stdin as something to spend time on yet. Will do, now that some people raise it.

Thanks :D
The issue is CO2, though, not heat per se. Yes, the two are correlated, but if you use renewables to power your things, it doesn't really matter how much heat you generate.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
We can't have the status quo and environmental conservatism together. A great deal of damage has been done and the trajectory is awful. I appreciate your optimism but I think climate change is only a slow moving problem in the tiny span of a human life. The chances that fusion is still 20 years away at the time civilization violently collapses seem decent to me.
> Why would an advice be different for over-consumption of social media, coke, big macs, tv shows, casinos etc.?

Of course, different people deal with these kinds of issues differently, but it's also important to recognize the vast differences between consuming too much alcohol vs consuming too much tv. Firstly, if you've spent any significant amount of time around a recovering alcoholic and discussed the issue openly with them, you realize pretty quickly that it's usually not just a raw craving. A lot of alcoholics drink in response to trauma of various kinds, and your backstory as an alcoholic plays a fairly significant role in how to seek the best recovery strategy. There isn't a one-size-fits-all solution there.

TV is much different for several reasons. First, there's not a universal societal acknowledgement that TV is addictive like alcohol. The US went through prohibition because alcoholism was rampant in society, TV hasn't disrupted society in the same way. That's not to say that TV isn't addictive or capable of being abused, it's simply that TV is much more passive in terms of how it's consumed, and it's higher order effects on people who consume too much. This is also true of social media.

Social media and TV don't usually force people between feeding their families or consuming endlessly the way that alcohol did in the 19th century, but it does encourage us to spend more time on autopilot and less time consciously thinking and being present.

I highly recommend David Foster Wallace's talks on entertainment addiction[0]. He predicted the genesis of a lot of these issues 20 years ago, and his commentary is still so relevant today, years after his death.

+1 for OpenShift icons. I do a lot of OpenShift and could really use a tool that makes the diagrams look great. I'll try it out and if it's good, I'll probably pay you money :-)
Softbank bought ARM for $32 billion, sold for $40 billion, plus they were collecting profits during all that time. Not quite sure how that meshes with "valuation drops" ...

RISC-V in high performance computing is years out even if big players like Samsung or Qualcomm decided to switch today. New silicon takes time to develop.

And Nvidia really couldn't care less about the $1-$10 RISC-V microcontrollers that companies like SiPeed or Gigadevice are churning out today (and even there ARM micros are outselling these by several orders of magnitude).

Always great to see more RSS readers. Are you thinking about making it API compatible with others so people can use any of the existing apps?

I'm currently using https://github.com/miniflux/miniflux (Also written in Go) and it supports the Fever API which means I can use any app on most platforms to sync with.
If you're changing it anyway, why not push for YYYYMMDD?
Your idea simply doesn't chime in with anything I know about the nature of modern nation states or how the world works in general.

> a series of land purchases made by every country from its bordering neighbours

Which nation state would allow for this to happen? The US, which is now trying to build a wall along its Southern border? The Europeans who almost cancelled the Schengen agreement over the wave of refugees? Australia that houses refugees on an island prison[1]?

Nobody would sell their land to foreigners. No nation state would give up resources out of humanitarian concern.

> The people affected would be resettling in newly-developed cities within newly-purchased territory of their own country

Who would even pay for this? We're talking about tens of trillions of dollars.

They include an example in the movie regarding search results (and auto-complete suggestions) to illustrate that the answer you get is influenced by the algorithms knowledge of your world view. The example they use is: "Climate change is …", where people are shown their "truth". I wonder how long it takes before Google makes a change to the results of that exact search string, hehe.
99.9% of teens do not have the knowledge, skills or capability to critically examine academic research. Hell, most secondary and high school teachers don't have those skills. Thus, all you can say is "be skeptical". But that is next to useless if the student has no basis to make an assessment -- all it will do is erode confidence in the process of science. Instead, IMO, students should be 1) given a firm foundation of well accepted knowledge and 2) taught how the process of science works.

As an aside, I'd ask those who promote the idea that children should be taught "how to think" instead of "facts they can just look up" to think a bit more deeply about what they are saying. IMO, you cannot reach valid conclusions without facts. Facts are the foundation of knowledge, synthesis and analysis. Without facts, one cannot understand a topic or even know what questions to ask about it. Note, I'm not saying that children should be force fed facts via rote learning. But consider, what happens when someone believes they can think for themselves but is ignorant of topic they're thinking about?
> Of course, but not sure how that's relevant here.

The relevance is fairly obvious in my previous comments. See the child who knows of squirrels example. Here is an excerpt from the article that speaks for the relevance:

"For people, patching means education. And not the worker-prep kind of education where you learn how to be an obedient and productive office worker, but the kind that teaches the fundamentals of how things work—from physics to psychology, and from physiology to philosophy."

> Not sure that's unfair.

Many people grow up in terrible conditions and are never given a proper chance to acquire a decent education. It's not especially fair or helpful to insult them.

> What if there is no solution? What if "Idiocracy" was accurate? Or "Planet of the Apes"? Science "fiction" is rife with stories about how humanity ended up destroying itself, especially via technology. It's not like we haven't seen this coming for a long time.

Possibilities aren't definitive. Promoting hopelessness and fortune telling doesn't seem very appealing. It leads to negative outlooks and self-fulfilling prophecies that aren't in anyone's interest.

While you are absolutely right, I want to highlight that this was done in a quite sophisticated way. It's actually the real login page of Facebook in a webview. I have 2FA on all my accounts including FB, so it looked very legit. Once you have logged in, they seem to grep the token and close the webview.

No idea but it mainly appears to be nonnegotiable. It's not really pure post modernism that is the problem. In fact, many of the derivatives of it we see being reified today use it as a base (deconstruct everything) but are not pure in that they create their own meta-narrative, which post modernism was explicitly against.

Regardless, the backlash to it is potentially so much more damaging and I hope these people understand the type of fire they're playing with. Identity politics plays both ways and mixed in with classic conflict theory, well it doesn't tend to end well.

I'm optimistic that as these frameworks for how the world works are (easily) exposed as the frauds they are and how they are hurtful to a society versus other methods (like universalism and liberal-science approaches) which have worked and will continue to, we'll taper down a bit the discourses. There's some good bits in these philosophies too, to be sure and hopefully they survive.

In the end they'll fail because they have no way of constructing a coherent, functional world, much less a peaceful multicultural one. It's just a matter of how many people die to get to that realization.
The first year is $0 when you buy a new iPhone, so pro-rating wouldn't make a difference.

I often sign up for trials and immediately cancel (so I don't forget about them). That way it requires a positive action on my part to keep the subscription. That doesn't work if your access ends as soon as you cancel.
wxMaxima is a very good front end, which I have used for many years. You just need to make sure you get a stable version, not a development release.
The answer to that is extraordinarily complex, and dependent on the abusers' history and personal circumstance so it's not really answerable here.

Cigarettes might be a more apt analogy IMHO. It's extraordinarily hard to quit, but at least we've come to a point where there is enormous social pressure to do so. And not just for health reasons: it's widely considered an unattractive habit.

Contrast that with the 50's where it was not only accepted by society but considered "glamorous". That's (sort of) where social media is today. Its image needs to go from fun and youthful to gross and harmful in the popular perception (barring that, the entire model needs to be re-invented).

Educating people on the long-term harms is the primary (perhaps only?) way forward at this point. This movie does that very well but it will be a long slog.

I'm not even sure this war can be won, but we must try.
Almost certainly synthetic
It's not like covid can continue at this rate... there are only so many people with comorbidity or otherwise compromised health. In the year 2030 we will look back and say:

"Over the past 10 years, covid killed (on average) X people per year, and the flu killed (on average) Y people per year"

Do you predict X or Y will be the higher number? Because I predict Y will be the higher number. And if not in the decade timeframe, certainly Y would be higher in the century timeframe.
In some contexts strong typing means that all values have a well-defined unique type that cannot be changed. For python this means that the language takes care of performing meaningful conversions when a value of a type A need to be turned into type B and also that there is no way to convince python that a value is a String (for example) if that value is not a valid string.

Or from wikipedia:

In Luca Cardelli's article Typeful Programming,
a "strong type system" is described as one in
which there is no possibility of an
unchecked runtime type error.
You can say that about pretty much anything and anyone. What is truth anyway?
Can you please tell me which platforms have SpaceX available? I'm already on EquityZen and it definitely does not. Thanks.
I think it does a great job to explain to non-techies things I have explained for years withouth luck.
Biggest points are about kids and explaining echo chambers. I live in a very polarized country where everybody justs follows the media and people who are on either of two sides. (Argentina)
I think the question is what is the local impact of the temperature increase? It would be good to know if it harms certain types of ecosystems ahead of time rather than after the fact.

It's also possible that a direct increase in ocean temperature has undesirable knock-on effects that don't take place if you operate on land.
It seems you did a nice job, from what I can see. (It wasn't working for me on Firefox 80. I couldn't draw anything.)

A small suggestion for #1 above: Don't have a save. Make it save to localstorage on Mouse-up and on a timer.

Also, the combo box is a bit slow. Maybe have an alternative view for the icons, such as tree view with buckets for AWS, Azure, etc.?
Last time I was in mountain view they were maybe 40-50% full, even by the 'main' campus - also they have a ton of free bikes to ride around, very rarely did I see Uber or Lyft (your point is well taken)
No. I reverse-engineered it and AMX on the Apple A13 is an instruction set extension running on the main CPU core.

The Neural Engine is a completely separate hardware block, and you have good reasons to have such an extension available on the CPU directly, to reduce latency for short-running tasks.
> it doesn't really matter how much heat you generate

Doesn’t matter is strong. It won’t in the short term. But as we continue increasing our energy use as a species, the simple thermal problem of waste-heat management will certainly surface.
I don't understand how we are comparing Energy generation with specifics about how it is generated and Plastic Recycling...what's that have to do with Energy production?

Totally separate things.
You'd have to pump loads of water for it then? to fill the pool and replace what is lost to evaporation.

"I think on a smaller scale test with an artificial pool would provide some solid answers. We could even put solar panels across the surface to limit wind and solar evaporation effects "

If it's artificial pool you'd need evaporation to cool it.
Something tells me that being the head of a massive company gives you some latitude in being able to sit there in silence while people wait for you to talk. If Tim Cook asked you a question and you sat there thinking about it for 30 seconds, that would be interesting to watch what happens..
Where did you get SpaceX? It has never been offered on EquityZen that I can see; I haven't signed up for other sites yet, but planning to.
All of this hackery with hundreds of registers just to continue to make a massively parallel computer look like an 80s processor is what something like Itanium would have prevented. Modern processors ended up becoming basically VLIW anyway, Itanium just refused to lie to you.
A third factor is that we keep learning more about how to treat COVID. Some cases that were fatal three months ago might not be now.
I like it, there is a definite need for this kind of investing in the market. No you can't launch an Uber or AirBNB in a crowded marketplace like this, but not all marketplaces are as crowded.
Hm, do you have any examples handy? It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that in all the years I've been using this, it has always worked. Granted, I'm only using it for reading data, not for saving stuff to /dev/stdin, which would obviously fail.
Well presumably customers care. Azure positions itself in some markets as the ethical choice - large parts open source, actually net zero carbon, AI ethics board and terms that rejects dicey cases, etc etc. Argue against the usefulness or real impact of these moves all you want, the point is that they show the image MS is trying to build.

But speaking a bit more broadly, you'd get a good idea from the Wikipedia page on corporate ethics. It's a whole field of study.

I’m a programmer and having taken graduate classes in Security Analytics and have a hard time convincing myself that I’m security savvy.

It’s such a cat and mouse game that has massive jumps in acceleration when it comes to ‘novel’ ways attackers create new exploits.

Having Apple taking it seriously even for people like me is a huge win.
You can sell the negative carbon as offsets to others. Lots of products are greened up by just buying offsets instead of really doing something, so there is lots of money in it.
No. Precisely the Tegra SoC within the Nintendo Switch (X1) uses ARM Cores. Specifically A57 and A53. NVIDIA's project to develop their own v8.2 ARM-based chip is called Denver.

I grew up in DC in the 70s, and used to go to the Air and Space Museum all the time. I'm surprised I don't remember having seen this video as a kid.

It's interesting, isn't it? What's the difference between the two?

A few possibilities:

1. Having been through big outbreaks, some countries are now doing a much better job of coping with it. (protecting vulnerable, treatments, etc.)

2. In some countries the dominant strain has become milder. (though wouldn't the deadly strain also still circulate, resulting in just fewer deaths?)

3. It already got to the vulnerable people in France. (though surely there would be somewhat more deaths, not almost none?)

4. False positives in PCR testing. (I'm no expert, but it seems there are particular ways to run the test that may result in increased incidence of false positives)

What other possibilities are there?
Another 4 years of Trump will clinch it.

For any reader of Edward Abbey, this essay is delightfully pretentious and soft. I actually assumed it was semi-ironic until I looked up the author. If you found it interesting, and prefer a bit more grit, consider reading Edward Abbey’s essay Fire Lookout. And if you are at all fond of cheesy romance, Abbey’s [mediocre, on-topic] novel Black Sun. For the very brave, you might try spending a summer of your own up on the tower, it’s still a thing in the American West, not as many operating towers as there used to be (because technology), but a job that doesn’t require much special training. If you look hard you’ll find a tower with serviceable LTE - please post back if you try the digital monk thing on a fire tower!

Maybe we can look for historical examples of how legislation had a positive impact on a widespread harmful habit.

Early on, the U.S. Congress adopted the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act of 1965 and the Public Health Cigarette Smoking Act of 1969. These laws—

* Required a health warning on cigarette packages
* Banned cigarette advertising in the broadcasting media
* Called for an annual report on the health consequences of smoking

The draw of the fediverse is that you can follow cross-instance.

I can be in my local community instance and follow people on say a major software instance and also an art oriented instance. It doesn't really matter who is on what instance. Connecting instances up is trivial - you join into the feeds generally.

Your instance more dictates your general discovery patterns and local moderation. In picking a local instance, I'm going to generally see discovery material related to my local area. If I joined an art instance, it would be art material, etc.

Generally well behaved instances (ie not spammy) shouldn't have an issue with getting federated, even if they're relatively small.
Are you saying, "Scientists are lying to you about covid" is a false statement and has always been false?

Because I'm pretty sure that when "scientists" (not all of them but those in power) suddenly flipped from saying masks did nothing to masks are essential, the justification given was that they had previously been lying but now didn't need to anymore. So the statement is unambiguously true, if taken over the entire course of events.

Moreover, I think most people are too smart to believe that whether COVID-19 is spread at protests depends on the views of those who are protesting, but plenty of scientists have made exactly that claim too. They were quite clearly lying.

The idea that scientists never lie is the biggest lie of all. Of course they lie. They routinely write fraudulent papers and hope nobody tries to replicate them, but there's also the issue that lying isn't binary. There's a big spectrum between full honesty and lying, with a big area of murky intellectual practices in the middle, practices like woeful exaggeration, cherry picking, abusive citations (e.g. citing a document in support of a statement that doesn't actually support that statement) and all the other problems that meta-science writers complain about.

If society accepted that scientists don't actually have better souls than politicians, business owners or journalists then we'd already be a long way towards solving the gullibility problem.

As for climate change, well, the whole ClimateGate thing did involve destruction of emails by researchers and then lying about it: to the British Parliament, no less! Even the Guardian bailed out at that point. Again, the idea that scientists can and do lie isn't some disinformation campaign. It's obvious and true.

It was a UL mark. Underwriters Laboratories. They are a company that tests products for electrical safety.

The manufacturer of the AC adapter didn't pay for testing, but put the mark on the adapter. The adapters weren't the main thing I was importing, so I hadn't paid any attention to it in the order process. The technical reason for the seizure was trademark violation.
> Why aren't there air-conditioned express Wi-Fi VTA buses, or better yet, ultra-fast electric trains, plying up and down 101 and 280 serving all the tech companies in one go, stopping at each HQ, considering they are almost all right next to either highway? That would be a low-carbon world.

You are describing something close to the original vision behind BART [1] that was proposed in 1956, but bear in mind that a significant number of people - predominately in the wealthy suburbs - opposed such a vision for a variety of reasons, and many of those same voices hold sway today.

> Why aren't there air-conditioned express Wi-Fi VTA buses, or better yet, ultra-fast electric trains, plying up and down 101 and 280

Rather than 280, they should serve 880, which goes to more affordable housing in the East Bay.
