It's tiring that the liberal elite of America is trying to force a worldview and mental-state that interprets every single moment and happening as a blaring 5-alarm emergency.

Suggesting (or even acting) otherwise is to become a target of verbal abuse and criticism.

A bit of hyperbole hasn't hurt anyone (hopefully).

I work with very good software engineers that were originally mathematicians, physicists, linguists, electronic engineers among others.

But once they become software engineers, they kind of are just that. It tends to dominate all thought processes.

It's not that they don't leverage their background, but software tends to eat the world.
(disclaimer, I work in a Climate R&D group)

Please don't do this.

Deserts are great at shedding heat into space (high albedo in the visible, high emissivity in the infrared, low humidity). Climate feedback loops are complicated.
'Editors' and 'readers' is not a binary dichotomy. One of the great things about Wikipedia is that anyone who happens to be reading an article and notices an error can correct it without much friction.
Many states have enacted laws against the "faithless elector" scenario you are describing because previously there was no such penalty.

In those states, faithless electors face fines and possibly jail time if they do not follow the state rules for elector allocation and the will of the state's voters.

This is interesting to me because on the whole I feel like I was doing way more interesting things in Hibernate 15 years ago than I see people doing with ORMs today (batching, dictionaries with entity keys, custom type serializers etc). Linq is lovely of course but I’m intrigued to hear what other ways you feel the industry has moved on in this area.
It'll certainly get far worse. The rapidity of the increase has fundamentally destabilized the global climate

The Arctic was 65 degrees above average this summer with days reaching over 100.

The temperature difference between the latitudes that governed the jet streams and global sea circulation has been fundamentally disrupted

That's why you're getting muggy 80 degree nights in California now.

Meanwhile that cooling system has wobbled lopsided like a melting hat bringing arctic cold weather and crop failure to a bunch of northern latitudes.

In the mid-latitudes, the tropical glaciers in places like the Himalayas that are the water supply for over a billion people are in an accelerating decline causing unprecedented flooding, soil erosion and soon, starvation.

Meanwhile ocean acidification is making the bottom of the food chain unable to survive and thus causes a cascading effect leading to a global ocean dieoff.

At the same time, the ice sheets are breaking up so rapidly that glaciologists can't even keep up with it and at least one fell to his death this year because things are happening to quickly to survey.

And then there's that insect apocalypse. All the while humans are making bold proclamations and patting themselves on the back while they point fingers at the "other countries" as if it's a game.

Global feedbacks due to the emissions have chains of effects that can be mapped out over decades. If we magically stopped all emission right now, there's still years of warming and disaster baked in until any kind of stability (reversal in our lifetime is frankly out of the question)

We're not doing that though. Instead, pipelines slated to last 40 years are being constructed as I type this. Exploratory missions for drilling that wouldn't even start until years from now are still being done. More coal power plants were funded and greenlit just last month. They won't even start until years from now.

We're still committing ourselves to an oil future despite all of this. Over half the greenhouse gases were emitted After we started the annual global climate summits. It has done effectively nothing.

So yes, things will be getting worse. These are the good days.

Look up "alien resurrection deleted ending"... Except for the space crafts, I don't think the depiction is inaccurate unless we take major life altering action immediately. The window to start an "ambitious" 15-year transition closed somewhere around 1990.

The world will eventually recover. The carbon dioxide emitted from the car that just rolled down the street, 90% of it will finally be gone in 100,000 years. The coral reef will recover in 2,000,000 years from the ocean acidification since 1950. We'll get to a level of biodiversity equal to 1930 by about 10,000,000AD. Even the amount of fossil fuels we burned in the past 200 years will eventually come back in 400,000,000 years --- but that's only if we somehow stop today. We're not doing that.
On the c# side though Jetbrains has possibly suffered a little bit. I know a lot of people have ditched ReSharper because it's just too slow in VS2019 and the built in stuff is often 'good enough' for them. Others either deal with the pain or have switched to Rider (I'm in this latter camp and happy about it).

On the other hand Jetbrains is a lot more diversified now than before (when their main products were IntelliJ, ReSharper, and teamcity)

That Merv 13 airfilter they mention is amazing. I have one. I also grill my meats outdoors to avoid lowering indoor air quality.

But the thing that bugs me about the article is how new homes have to have these expensive new systems. There's this constant requirement for more and more things to build into new homes. CA is having a housing crises, homes here are through the roof.

It's so odd that new homes HAVE to have it, but most people live in old homes and don't and they suggest simple and cheap solutions for that (an $80 free standing air filter). Why can't we apply that same simple and cheap solution to new homes that could be affordable?

It's frustrating.
That's an awful lot of words to say "No" lol.

> The problem with the vox article is it's rating the Republicans based on their image (specifically their image with liberal media), not their actions. And you did the exact same thing. Are you even aware you did that?

If you read my entire comment, or the entire article, you'll find that to not be the case. The rating is based entirely on actions, not "liberal media reporting".
The problem with LNG is that it's still a fossil fuel, still cryogenic, and that methane itself is a potent GHG. The first problem you could solve using synthetic methane, but the latter two still drives you towards LH2 as being the better option.
The RFC that tells people who weren't paying attention to stop using TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 will explain this, here's the current draft of that document:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-oldversions-depre...

Examples of things mentioned:

SHA-1 sucks, this hash is too short by modern standards and we know it's flawed even though collision (the exciting headline making flaw) isn't especially relevant to TLS. But in TLS 1.0 SHA-1 is either the only hash permitted (in some places) or it's the best option left (MD5 is allowed but that's worse).

TLS 1.0 doesn't explain the necessity of guarding against padding oracles or how to do so. Now, of course it also doesn't ban you from guarding against them. But wait, if you're going back to upgrade your software to mitigate padding oracle attacks on TLS 1.0 why aren't you just upgrading to TLS 1.2 ? The stacks we're confident have effective mitigations all... offer TLS 1.2 anyway.

TLS 1.0 specifically requires you can do 3DES (in the terminology it's "Mandatory to implement" or MTI). But 3DES sucks, it's very slow and not as secure as a modern cipher. So you would never want to actually use 3DES, but it's mandatory in TLS 1.0 so now you're implementing a cipher that's very bad and you never want to use, just so you can support an obsolete protocol version. Or we can deprecate that protocol version and tell people to just use a newer protocol.
Good advice if you're selling sketchy street drugs. Not good advice if you're a software/services provider.

Seriously. I know too many people that simultaneously denounce any sign of dictatorial government, but then can't praise loud enough any governor that shuts down their entire state.
Whatever for? She is so insignificant that assassinating her is pointless.
That's a very good point. We also make the most of the software we use (even crappy one) because we can usually see the thought process behind it (even if it's misguided and twisted).
Sure but if it's a real DMCA claim won't Google be obligated to reinstate the content?

https://www.dmca.com/faq/What-is-a-DMCA-Counterclaim

There's a summary but it links to a more detailed PDF.

If it is a "real" DMCA claim, then according to this Google must put the content back up within 10 to 14 business days. If it's Google's house rules then they don't, but that would mean it's not a real DMCA claim.

Now I understand Google reserves the right to ban you for anything at any time, like all providers. But that would be a secondary action in addition to this.

That is not what the parable of the Samaritan was implying, nor the context of it. Samaritans were and are an ethnic group that historically has had friction with other Semitic groups (notably, Jews). They were not in any way "Nazis of their day," and the parable was not about that particular Samaritan being better than other Samaritans, but about morality being a stronger tie than culture.

Scale matters. 200,000 deaths and counting in 9 months is a different scale than we in the US have seen from other viral infections in the past century.
My impression is that they've only just begun to study the correlation.

Following my curiosity, I found a list of dietary sources of linoleic acid:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linoleic_acid#Dietary_sources

---

Here are the relavant passages from the article:

> Unexpectedly, the research team's analysis revealed the presence of a small molecule, linoleic acid (LA), buried in a tailor-made pocket within the Spike protein.

> LA is a free fatty acid, which is indispensable for many cellular functions. The human body cannot produce LA. Instead, the body absorbs this essential molecule through diet.

> Intriguingly, LA plays a vital role in inflammation and immune modulation, which are both key elements of COVID-19 disease progression. LA is also needed to maintain cell membranes in the lungs so that we can breathe properly.

> From other diseases we know that tinkering with LA metabolic pathways can trigger systemic inflammation, acute respiratory distress syndrome and pneumonia. These pathologies are all observed in patients suffering from severe COVID-19.

> A recent study of COVID-19 patients showed markedly reduced LA levels in their sera.
You can still do it, you don't need to use cloudflare, you don't need to use that registrar.

You don't even need to use the Internet, paint it on a sign and walk around the street with it on a pole.

You're not having your free speech impeded by any of this, because refusing to carry someone elses speech isn't censorship, it's just that when you say things that are repulsive to people they won't want to help promote it.

If you want free speech go to your door, walk outside, start taking. You got your free speech. Everything else is a bonus.
again, the spillover effects will be minimal because, unlike the CAFE standards for instance, this affects a relatively new subclass of vehicles, and the costs are not minimal for broad conformance. it will help move the US overall toward electric vehicles a little bit, but it won't lead to wholesale changes by itself.
I’ll add that the Electoral College ultimately ends up casting the votes that elect the president. If things really went sideways and completely broke, they could cast their votes against their state’s wishes.

Full disclosure, I haven't worked on this system in many years, but I did work on it.

This is a bit of a red herring or just bad journalism.

The article (which has been updated but does not list that it was) the URL they pointed to, much like the original tweet that the article is based off of did not point to the geauxvote.com site, but to a static maintenance URL. (https://voterportal.sos.la.gov/Maintenance?areaName=Portal) which would lead people to believe it was down for much longer than it was, in fact the tweets this is based off of still would lead you to believe that.

In truth the site was down from 8pm to midnight on Tuesday, the site was operating normally for most of voter registration day.

Its not mysterious, its schedule maintenance, the system gets an influx of records from several state agencies to determine registration status, including the OMV for drivers records, DPS for prison records, etc.. All those records have to be processed, then pushed into the system. This isn't done on the weekends as the state doesn't push the information on the weekend, the records are pushed through out Monday, there is a small window for validation, and corrections, and the whole system is updated on Tuesday.

I mean I'm not saying that voter suppression isn't going on, I'm saying this as a method makes no sense.

If they wanted to actually suppress the vote, they could have just dropped the submissions, and before people talk about the improbability of that, the system is solely owned by the secretary of state, it was written for them by a 3rd party contract paid by them, and all the data is either in their physical building or on amazon aws that they control. There is no 3rd party audit controls to prevent tampering.

So if they wanted those registrations to go unregistered they don't need to put up a maintenance sign, where some twitter detective could foil figure it out. they could just not record them, or erase them, with no one being the wiser.
As far as I can remember, Voat has always courted the alt-right segment. The fact that they became a haven for extremist content wasn't an accident.
I completely reject the validity of this as it is being done through an Executive Order. Newsom doesn't get to decide this on his own, it needs to go through the Legislature to be valid.
3GB is not a lot, I would like to be able to attach the phone to keyboard/mouse and a big monitor and use it as a "portable desktop". I realize that's a big ask. But you have the flagship samsung phones(I realize they're $2K or whatever) that have 12GB of RAM in them... that's the kind of RAM I'm looking for even 8GB is almost not enough.

Granted I imagine you can't spin up VMs on these mobile processors, maybe... I'm on web-side dev so I guess I don't need too much to work with but RAM is usually the problem for me, even with a tiling manager.
Extent-based filesystems have no problem with that, and performance wouldn't be impacted either. The preserved tail of the first extent would have to copied / CoWed, that's it.

I agree with you on the lifestyle choice. I'd define the goal slightly differently, though - rather than "never working again", the real goal is "never HAVING TO work again." If I struck paydirt tomorrow and had f-you money I'd still show up to work on Monday. I'd just enjoy it more because I didn't HAVE to.

That’s not true. Many “rich” people are in debt yet they can vote. If I’m underwater on my mortgage and have negative net worth, I can still vote.

What’s abhorrent is certain debts prohibit voting.

> I wouldn't touch GCP with a barge pole for these reasons.

It all depends on how big you are. If you have a sizable account there will be actual people you assigned to your account and that you can call, on top of the normal ticketing system that you already have access to.

It is the same on AWS. Although AWS is on top of the game, followed by Azure.
Are you sure that the CA Legislature didn't already grant the executive the power to regulate emissions?
If you wanna go a little bit more paranoid, use a dedicated host to virtualise those machines and connect to the host via RDP/whatever, that should create another layer of safety.

> I say when cmake file includes another cmake file, all variables are inherited, and in certain cases cmake file can define variable in outer cmake file scope.

This is not true at all. You only "inherit" variables that you intentionally want to pass to downstream projects. You need to explicitly and intentionally declare your variables with PARENT_SCOPE to access variables from other files. That's an explicit decision from the developer.
>Every nuclear power plant in the United States has been a money pit and produced the most expensive electricity.

How much have carbon emissions cost individuals in the form of negative health outcomes? Diablo Canyon cost 14b in 2019 dollars to build and has been producing carbon free energy for half a century. The state's total spending in 2017 -- State and federal funds -- was $256b.

The fuel could go to Yucca, or it could to go to Finland, which regularly takes nuclear waste. Or it could stay where it is just fine.

> Can someone explain to me why Hackernews and much of the rest of the internet, has descended into this nihilistic relativism where acknowleding even basic, empirical reality has apparently become impossible?

I do it because of the increasingly prevalence of authoritarianism over logic, that too many people seem to no longer be capable of someone disagreeing with them (while they disagree with someone else) without losing their cool.

> Viral diseases aren't spread through radiowaves. That's not a matter of opinion, that's a fact. Of course a significant portion of people might be so scientifically illiterate they cannot figure that out, that doesn't change the fact that it's not true.

I clearly acknowledged (in a separate comment from "Most of the bullshit...) the silly 5G --> covide theory, before proceeding to point out several far less silly ideas that are often considered bullshit. Yet, your comment seems to be written as if you did not notice the distinction I made. I am very curious what mechanism is behind this - was this a cool, calculated, deliberately rhetorical response, or was it more toward the instinctual end of the spectrum? Considering the increasing amount of hostility and polarization that can easily be observed everywhere on social media (or the riots in the streets, burning of buildings, smashing of cars, etc) these don't seem like a "nihilistically relativist" questions to me - the whole mess seems like a pretty big deal. You are welcome to disagree of course, but in doing so I'd prefer if you don't declare reality to be a certain way without providing evidence.

> This constant childish "hey but how do you know that this is true buddy" talk around misinformation and information is really driving me nuts.

This is kind of my point: "...but if you ask for evidence substantiating that assertion, they often behave as if the notion that assertions should require evidence is absurd".

If someone disagreeing with your opinion invokes a feeling that they are "childish", and "drives you nuts", perhaps the problem isn't entirely with the other person.

Aren't all video editors "non-linear editing" these days anyway? All they mutate when you're editing is a small amount of metadata called edit decision list.
