Climate Change: How Do We Know?

I can recommend Thinkpads. I am very happy with my T495.

It is a solid piece of hardware, really nice keyboard and probably has the best support for Linux. I heard they used to send their new laptops for free to kernel developers to ensure solid support.
Can we get some examples of searches from the "DDG is terrible" camp? I've been using DDG for 100% of my searches on laptop and phone for ~3 years without any complaint. I've never used the "pipe it through google" search option.
Wondering after every update ... Thunderbird has had tabs for years but you can still not write a new message in a tab.
It wouldn't have to be, but they obviously didn't have enough drainage. It is really hard to know this before hand though as the proper drainage is mostly underground where you can't inspect it.
>the basement had a door which led straight out into the rear garden.

This is called, rather descriptively, a "walk-out basement".
I really like Tool but never get that...unfortunately :)

Maybe try "We Are" on Asymmetry by Karnivool as well. I find the drums quite mesmerising, i've heard it's not quite as complex as it sounds.
I pulled that quote from the article; it wasn't me developing for the Mac!
Interestingly enough, nothing like this happened to me, and I'm using exact same features as OP. Bad luck I guess.

However, it reminds me about some other situation that I'd like to share as it amuse me to this day.

Some time ago I was traveling to my clients city. I was provided with a flat of one of coworkers who - at the same time was delegated elsewhere. So that was kind of AirBnB but it was all "paid" by company (in a way, that he got compensation and I had place to stay).

I went to sleep fairly late and barely shut my eye when at 2am his Android tablet started to ring. I have no idea what was up with it, was it default alarm or some custom one, but there was no way for me to disable it. None of the physical buttons worked and every touch interaction spawned the lock screen through which I couldn't get past. On top of it, the sound was getting louder and louder. It didn't ring for 20 minutes when the police came knocking. Someone complained about the noise. I said that the device isn't mine and I'm only taking care of friend's flat and that there is nothing I can do about it. Showed device to them, we fiddled together with it but couldn't turn it off neither. Police wanted to hand me a ticket, but that wasn't easy. I was foreigner so they had to collect on spot. Once they confirmed that they decided to not make me any troubles and asked me to try and to muffle the tablet.

After 3h of constant noise it seemed like device decided to stop ringing by itself.

Since I was awake full night, I took day of and notified the client that it's either hotel for me or I'm going back home, cause I decline to be in the same place as the dreaded device to which they agreed. That almost was the end of the story, but week later I learned it wasn't end of it.

Coworker, the owner of the device (who refused to provide me with the code, since it can't be that bad), came back to his door which kicked out by the firefighters. It seemed like neighbors called the police again day/days later. Police couldn't get in but they heard the alarm so they called the firefighters who assuming that one of the smoke alarm went off decided to break in to find only ringing tablet.

To this day I rather not being woken up than suffer through the Alarm from Hell.
It seems like this is not a CLI for git, but for the Github specific stuff, such as issues and pull requests.
The problem of the technological cage posed by reliance on cloud services is one of the reasons Urbit is being developed. It's a personal server that operates on a P2P network. You own your own data, and your messages are encrypted. It feels like a cloud service, except you own it completely.

The project has been in the works for over a decade. It works, has an active community, and is making rapid strides in functionality and stability. I'd know, because I use it every day. Here's a good primer on what Urbit is looking to create: https://urbit.org/blog/urbit-is-for-communities/

Many seem to like to whine about Urbit and claim that it's creating a kind of digital feudalism. Perhaps they think that what we currently have isn't that. I have no interest in engaging with those old and tired arguments, which is why I originally ignored them and looked into it myself. If you also like to think for yourself, let me know and I'll bring you onto the network.
I think the big problem people have with the GPL is its viral nature; It “infects” everything it touches. I’ve heard this complaint many times from developers.

So, for a hypothetical Program A using Library B, MIT sacrifices user freedom (access to code for A) for developer freedom (ability to use B without open sourcing A). GPL, OTOH, sacrifices developer freedom for user freedom.

When I started looking at less “viral” licenses (such as MIT, BSD, etc.) like this, it made sense why developers would prefer not to use the GPL. I don’t think it’s right, but it makes sense.
This article is obviously written by someone that doesn't know what they're talking about.

>0day

This is not a "0day".

>As it turns out, this is an open secret among the internet service community: You are not anonymous on Tor.

Careful there with the big assertions.

>The last hop is the exit node. It can see all of your decrypted network traffic.

I thought we were talking about onion services here, why the subtle context switch? Does the author even know that onion services don't use exit nodes at all?

>(Don't assume that HTTPS is keeping you safe.)

Why?

>One claimed to see over 70% of all internet traffic worldwide. Another claimed over 50%

The key word here is "claimed".

>If you're a low volume hidden service, like a test box only used by yourself, then you're safe enough. But if you're a big drug market, counterfeiter, child porn operator, or involved in any other kind of potentially illegal distribution, then you may end up having a bad day.

I like how the author assumes that these are the only two uses of Tor.

>you simply need a list of known onion services

Good luck getting that with v3 addresses (unless the author of the service has poor OPSEC).

Not to mention that Tor has provided many fixes for the DDoS issues, but the author obviously didn't mention them.

If this was the US, HN would be all over this. Instead, it is rationalizing it. Interesting.
You are saying that Apple introduced breaking changes between release candidates and general availability??? Serious question.
Any function defines a covariant function by postcomposition. Take for example the string-length function (len : string -> int). We can take any other function which outputs a string, say (f : X -> string) where X is any fixed type, and produce a new function (g : X -> int) by g(x) = len(f(x)). So the len function defines a functor from the set of functions with signature (X -> string) to the set of functions with signature (X -> int). For concreteness, one can imagine this functor as replacing functions which output strings by functions which output the lengths of those strings instead.

However we can also treat (len : string -> int) as a contravariant functor by pre-composing instead of post-composing. Say we have a function (h : int -> Y), then we can form (k : string -> Y) by setting k(s) = k(len(s)). This could be useful if we only cared about whether a strings length were a multiple of 5, say.

Some of the above are lies: in order to call these functors in the mathematical sense (or the Haskell sense) you need to phrase things in just the right way. But I think it gets the idea across about how simple the difference between co- and contra- variance can be, with the example of replacing f(x) by g(f(x)) or by f(g(x)).

> I use my computer to do work

Yes, well, not everybody does; and plugging in a gaming mouse is a pretty good signal that you’re one of the people that don’t. (Or that you’re at least a person with multiple computers who doesn’t use that one for work.)
No, is a complement. See [0]. Basically allows doing from cli things you could only do from the UI before (without writing your custom scripts).

It's not a replacement for git, its to interact with the GitHub UI over the command line.

There are 3 main commands from the CLI you can issue:

gh

CORE COMMANDS

issue: Create and view issues
pr: Create, view, and checkout pull requests
repo: Create, clone, fork, and view repositories

I still use the git cli and the github UI, but sometimes just view open PR's from the my terminal if I'm already in there.
I had the exact same problem as a 12 year old kid, only I was in assembly where Auschwitz survivor Emerich Roth was telling us about his hardships. He stopped with annoyed patience and waited for me to silence the alarm before continuing. I don't think I've ever felt so bad.
> So then write for all browsers, support what you can for each, and don’t promote Chrome anymore?

WOW

That escalated quickly

I never promoted Chrome, in fact I'm an old time Firefox users and in the 90s I owned a Netscape 3 gold license.

I don't write fronted software anymore, but writing for every browser means adhering to the standard

Apple has steered away more than any other vendor lately

So...
This is pretty clever. There's a video by Jonathan Blow, creator of Braid and currently making a programming language called Jai, that talks about parsing expressions with order of operations. He gives an simple approach that apparently was discovered recently (though he didn't remember the paper name) that does this in a single pass and hardly any more complicated than what you wrote. You can see it here [1]. He also trashes on using yacc/bison before that and on most academic parsing theory.

It's a great startup idea, almost guaranteed exit through acquisition by Autodesk et al.
Sorry, was perhaps poorly worded. By "first principles" I meant a static analyser working using only an understanding of the language (say, Java) and the application source code, looking over the ast/cfg etc using only built-in language rules.

You get much better (read: maybe useful) results if you happen to have a "rule pack" for the specific framework you're using which provides specific hints on sources + sinks, "gotchas" and how things are wired together. As a somewhat obsolete example, I would not expect a sast working only from "first principles" to be able to do anything useful with a Spring XML configuration file.

On the whole my experience is that these things work very well on certain types of codebases - e.g. naive PHP they can "go to town" because of the huge footgun surface and fairly direct control and data transfer.

Stuff with lots of "magical" framework features and indirection (where even a human reviewer can often have trouble finding the implementation from the interface being invoked) they often silently fail to do anything useful.
Yes, as it connects you to Google.
Almost all the old phones i had did that, also my old Siemens.
I think this is one of the reasons that homes are usually of lighter wood construction in Japan, they tend not to collapse and smoosh their occupants. Big drawback is fire, obviously.
I haven't started recording phone calls with companies yet, but when I started thinking about it, I heard "This call may be recorded for quality purposes" as giving me permission to record for quality purposes.
> If we ever get rid of this albatross, would we ever again consider living in an underground house? Definitely.

problem is - as they discovered - the natural insulation isn't very good. It is better than a house built in 1880, but by 1970 builders knew how to do better. Today better insulation is required by code in the US.
> CDU might be considered conservative by Western European standards, but it's liberal by Eastern European standards.

Which is mostly a result of Eastern European countries turning outright fascist (Hungary) or religious-authoritarian (Poland), it's a classic game of shifting goalposts.

CDU also was modernized by Merkel after the right-wing conservatives got booted off/sidetracked in the early '00s following a massive donation / tax scandal ("Schreiber-Spendenaffäre") and so the CDU still enjoyed wide popularity as a result, while the Eastern European conservatives never had that push.
> Would Germans still love the EU so much after they realize they're paying twice as much into the EU as the next country?

Germans took up way more monetary responsibility during Corona. E.g. they took various patients from Netherlands and paid for the care themself. Same with the financial crisis that was a result of Corona, Germany was happy to help out other countries.

Now if you look at what Netherlands gains out of the EU (so what the EU is worth to NL) it is about 7 to 8 times the net payment. Limiting the net amount paid is good, but the focus on net payment without looking at what you get is quite short sighted.

See e.g. UK where just paying the custom agents will cost an equivalent as the EU payments.
While I appreciate the merits of chaos engineering, this comment lacks an understanding of the impact of these incidents, particularly in rural areas with a history of forest mismanagement.

It's kind of a bad joke, this idea that these encroachments on the freedom on the internet are going hand-in-hand with 'free stuff from the government' because in most cases in the anglosphere it seems like, with the notable exception of furlough schemes brought in for the pandemic, we're generally seeing the opposite trend: social protections being torn up and we're told to be happy about this.

Our avenues for complaining about it are slowly being captured primarily by large, ultimately unsympathetic corporations who would rather we as individuals be as insecure as possible so as to be maximally dependent on them and their peers for a wage.
I don't think there is a conspiracy to suppress the information, but on the other hand I'd say EU has a long way to go in terms of PR and informing citizens. Somehow all these things always surface at 11:55

Of course it is. Using !g, Google knows that on one computer I use I have never agreed to the Google 'Before you continue'. Isn't agreeing to that, agreeing to be tracked?
A couple of notes:

1. Have a MVP before you advertise that you have a product. Learn from Theranos's mistakes. From the look of the site, you're ready to sell but in reality (from what you've said here) you're not. A hapless user may try to execute on your purchasing funnel and be sorely disappointed. You'd probably be better off with a "here's what we're trying to build, our plan, and our timeline". It doesn't look like you have any of those, hence why other commenters are thinking it's a scam.

2. With the actual product I think you're on to something. If you could incorporate an ability to make it mobile that would be pretty awesome.
I hardly use DuckDuckGo for actual searching.. mostly on my phone I'll pop open the app if I want an easy way to go to a site or search for something I really don't want tracked.

So it's convenient for that, but can't say I use it very often still.
I always though it was a cludgy, bloated piece of software and despite a few attempts to get into it, never really did.

I particularly disliked having to upload files to their 'cloud' for conversion between formats or even (if memory serves) for slicing objects. Not really what I'm comfortable doing with client's assets.

I too echo the sentiment of langitbiru elsewhere in this thread - with the inflation in the home hobbyist scene over the past few years, I wonder what it would take for an Affinity-a-like to shake up the domain a little.

I wonder how much Blender could be modded to achieve this?

Every time I try to use it, almost every search query I write while trying to get work done I end up retrying with "!g". Eventually I find myself using "!g" preemptively because I don't want to miss out on results like long tail StackOverflow hits.

People are ranting about things they have to have that weren't required when they paid.
> I doubt the EU will survive in its current state.

A lot of people desire this to be true, but that does not mean that it is. It is a particularly weird opinion to hold in the wake of the most recent challenge to its continuity -- the Brexit fiasco, with the EU having maintained a united front for more than 4 years, while the UK emerges out of it in a terrible state -- and the worst is yet to come.

The EU is not perfect by any means (what is?), but it is a terribly ambitious project that has been painstakingly built over decades. Every step of the way, someone like you was claiming that it was impossible, that it was surely about to collapse. Well, we are 27 member states strong and we are dealing with the economic challenged posed by COVID better than most of the rest of the world.

If we look at objective measures, such as economic inequality, political polarization or civil unrest, we are perhaps forced to conclude that the US are closer to collapse than the EU. To be clear, I do not desire the collapse of the US. I think that that US and the EU are natural friends, in a world where they have much more in common than what separates them.

I’m confused about the train shed example. What are you trying to say there?

Innovative architecture does not equal problems, it is commonly done all over the world. It’s a matter of good design principles, materials science and factoring the human experience in architecture, which all good architects care for. Maybe the problem comes from people trying to make it on the cheap and cutting corners?
Sorry I forgot to mention I was talking about FF Android, as commoner mentioned. I use it as my main browser and many Google sites downgrade the experience; merely changing the user agent gives me the same result as Google Chrome. I don't particularly like doing that since it reduces FF Android user count in Analytics.
The old people will die off rather sooner than later, the problem will solve itself biologically.

The real question is: will this happen fast enough to avoid hitting a no-way-back point in climate change?
Just to throw my 2 cents in I appreciate having the choice between 10 mediocre programs (3 of which are actually quite passable!) vs. being tied into the one all-inclusive solution with maybe a few knobs to twist and that's it. That's what drove me away from Windows.
The certain conditions they lay out don’t even make sense.

The second link has the same 2010 chart, where is the more recent data?

That link also says "The OECD data is particularly flawed because it is based on “income,” which excludes a host of non-cash government benefits and private charity that are abundant in the United States"

A nation should not be dependent on handouts from rich people.

So without the handouts as per this link we can assume the US bottom folks are in worse condition.

> lot of Americans that exhibit poor personal lifestyle

Which comes back to education, which means they dont get proper education compared to their peers in other developed countries.

> disposable income in the US is among the highest in the developed world:

Yes but then why is poverty rate high as well compared to other developed nations.
> Waterproofing has to go on the outside surface to work.

Of course, there is the minor issue that outside work on an underground dome is... probably not very easy and uniquely terrible for the "lawn".

Obviously, you are 100% correct, but that's little consolation to anyone in this situation. If anything, the dilemma highlights the incompatibility of this type of building with American-style home ownership.

For me it's actually the opposite, I find using the priority makes it actually a lot more readable, especially once you have a lot of operators. It's also quite close to a generalized (and potentially dynamic) version that is just a function that takes in a priority and returns the correct parser.

This seems to gel with my experience. I probably end up trying Google maybe once or twice a month, and generally I don’t find much.

I don’t use bangs frequently although they are neat.

I don’t think I’m some search savante, or a hardcore purist/idealist despite moving to DDG for the privacy reasons.

Maybe it’s because generally I’m looking for docs rather than specific answers these days.
