You don't have to supply (i.e. buy) your own hardware, but you might have to pay for the power supply.

On the contrary, you likely have lower commuting costs.

However, the more important aspect might be that you end up needing more space at home and the employer needs less space in the office. Working from your kitchen table is probably not the best idea in terms of ergonomics.

In my opinion this aspect gets few attention in the discussion.

I could see a moral argument in favor of vegetarianism or veganism because it is better for the environment and prevents global warming which in turn is better for humanity and our long term existence. But even then technology may be able to mitigate the impact. For example, feeding ruminants red algae.

I've programmed for a while and also took up gardening a few years ago.

There aren't many amazing resources and I think there is definitely room for a community/product like this. (I was considering building one my oneself)

What I think has to be nailed is that you want to see tips from other users that garden under the same conditions as you. (Good filtering features)

Take a tomato for example;

- which breed?

- what zone? (climate/seasons)

- how much sun per day hits your garden?

- what kind of soil? (Sand, clay etc)

- what pests?

- what style of garden bed did you use?

- how often do you fertilize? (And with what)

Now the tricky part is that all those variables affect each other so someone's advice should have all of those questions attached and answered. E.g. someone says I use a lot of mulch to grow good tomatoes (when in fact it's probably because it doesn't rain much where that person lives and the mulch maintains moisture) (someone with a lot of water might benefit from a lot less mulch)

Hobbyist / permaculture people treat gardening more like an art (I'd say big ag farmers treat it more like science)

I'd love to see something for the hobbyist, and optimising home growers through simple tips would be valuable. (Home growers can't use ag-science easily)

===

I grow my own vegetables in a yard and it's pretty much a joke when it comes to production. You get one harvest per year for most things, and the more you grow, the more pest you get. You need an avid gardener in your house, or a couple decently committed ones.

(I actually like just eating vegetables seasonally because I subscribe to the idea that plants are generally toxic and you shouldn't eat the same ones every day of the year e.g. kale or beans)

If you want to get into gardening, start with potatoes, they are low in toxins, and good for carbs. Best of all, you can just dig a hole, put a potatoe in and grow a plant. (The store so much energy in their bulb that they are almost impossible to not sprout) (I also just plant potatoes from the supermarket if they go green and had no problems with it)
It does sound still doable. Low-power mcus can be really low power these days, I checked a random one and they advertise 25uA/MHz active mode, and for a pocket calc you dont need many MHz.

Yeah, as a long time Celery user, I'd say you're making the right call to reevaluate your decision. Upgrading Celery/Kombu/Billiard has been enough of a hassle in the past with breaking changes, regressions, undocumented "features", and things getting dropped without any sort of deprecation timeline. I'm not looking forward to that becoming "more frequent" (and will likely be exploring other alternatives)

>that runs at speed up to par with the slowest DDR4 but with DDR3 latency, it is very awesome.

AFAIK ddr4 having higher latency than ddr3 is a myth. It has a higher cl number, but that's measured in cycles, so the higher cl number of ddr4 is compensated by its higher clocks. The actual latency (measured in nanoseconds) is about the same, or slightly lower in ddr4 than ddr3.

Depends what you're growing for what purpose. A basil plant which lives on your windowsill and regrows the leaves you pick to add to sauces with essentially zero labour is certainly more efficient than buying a plastic bag too-full of perishable leaves for 80% of the plant cost from the supermarket every time. The commercial farm is more efficient at growing leaves at scale, but that doesn't necessarily translate into a lower-cost more environmentally-friendly product for consumers not needing a large volume of leaves and paying store markup. On the other hand, people are going to need a lot of balcony space to grow a year's supply of potatoes and spend a lot of time turning them into fries.

Exactly, this is a big practical problem and what these laws try to address (in a good or bad way...).

I’ve been through the Haskell learning curve. Long story short it’s awful and in my opinion not worth the pain.

I think Haskells problems breakdown into 3 distinct areas. The community, the conventions and the language itself.

Firstly the community can be hostile to a new comer. The documentation and tutorials for various libraries is often incomplete, outdated and written in a hard to grok plain text document. Asking questions can also be painful as there’s definitely a tinge of elitism to some of the power members.

Secondly, the conventions that are often encouraged go against writing clear and understandable code. Function names are small. You have interface functions (doThis) that exist just to call private functions (doThis’).

These odd conventions get compounded by a lot of warts on the language itself.

So finally onto the language itself.

There’s a lot of operators to keep track of. None of which do what you expect. And the ones you do expect, like dot notation, don’t exist until you turn on a language feature flag.

For feature flags there’s a standard set of 20 that every experienced Haskeller turns on but good luck finding that out as a beginner, and good luck finding out that’s why the example isn’t working for you.

There’s also 3 different types of String, all of them in active use by different libraries, which you have to manually cast between often.

And the dev environment can be hard to figure out. Error messages are difficult to grok. The repl often breaks. And you sometimes run into hidden libraries that are in your project but arent accessable until you import them.

Honestly it’s a mess and this is before I touch on the unique parts of a pure functional language like Haskell. Which is a shame because Haskell brings to the table some serious super powers. They’re just not worth the hit to developer productivity in a team setting.
Is this the first time buying a SaaS or have you done this before? What is the strategy here? Work on it for a couple of months and sell it for more?
Is this not a case where the goal of the project is incompatible with a language used to implement the project?

From what I can gleam from a high level scan of the project, Celery is a process/task queue, yet the intermingling of Celery's framework with whatever a process/task's goal happens to be looks like a non-starter for any organization that does not use python like BASH.

This appears to be a poor architecture for a distributed programming framework. There are a good number of high quality proses/task queues already, I don't see a reason for this project at all.

> large agribusiness and monocropping and industrial farms exist because they are stupidly efficient

They are stupidly efficient within the framework of capitalism, where they receive government subsidies and externalise many costs. In the framework of ecology and permaculture they are absolutely not efficient.

When we give our labour to the corporations, building apps and contributing to clothing production, we are facilitating and exacerbating this inefficiency. Clothing is an extremely wasteful industry for example. If we take that labour away from these pursuits and instead put it into feeding ourselves and regrowing our ecosystems, we are doing double the good.
Super cool framework that is only getting better. If you’re interested in framework spelunking-check out Remix by Ryan Florence and Michael Jackson (no, not that one...).

Well, they were definitely terrible by "Adult" standards, but that's not the standards that most high schoolers are held to. (And that's not the standard we were held to, I'm sure).

If your standard is the median for our age group, they were probably better-than-middling. It was an advanced class, after all.

Actually, I think that if nobody is trying, such an exercise would be counterproductive. In that scenario, the right thing to do would be to determine and address the reasons why nobody is trying. Like I said, it was an advanced class and people were trying, so it was relatively successful.
Yeah, it's great

It's technically a merger. It's the next version of .NET Core after v3.0 but jumping ahead to v5.0 and dropping the "Core" designation, and then merging in parts of Mono, AOT toolchain, and even more of the (upgrade) bits of the classic framework.

You might be able to get pretty far with just a framework switch. The RC is already out so try it. You'll probably have to update the csproj/sln files at a minimum and fix some known API differences but it's unlikely you need an entire rewrite.

> Every baby step away from industrialization is a step towards sustainability.

That's just plain wrong. Industrialization as it exists currently is bad because its optimizing for profit. If environmental costs were factored in (short and longterm), then we'd arrive at a sustainable balance. A carbon tax is a good first measure.

If we were, as you suggest, to revert from industrialization back to artisanship and manual labor we would produce a fraction of what we do now. That's senseless. Would you wish for every household to have to produce their own food, raise and butcher and skin their own animals, hand-mine their stones and construct their homes, carve out their own furniture, sew their own clothes...? Our living standards would plummet. The fact is that industrialization multiplies efficiency.

We can arrive at a post-scarcity society whilst also being long term sustainable, even with current global populations. It's just a matter of optimizing for it (and not just immediate profit).

>Every baby step away from industrialization is a step towards sustainability.

I don't think that industrialization, the act of exploiting the scale of a demand for a specific item to produce it en masse is inherently unsustainable. In fact, I'd counter such an argument with the following hyperbole - every baby step away from industrialization is one more unfed baby. Efficient food production is what keeps a lot of people, of all sorts mind you, able to eat. Quite literally. Obviously, the food industry is notorious for it's wasteful practices, and that just means that there's room to grow. I sincerely wish you to read about the absurdities of food shortages in the USSR and re-evaluate your opinion on industrial food production.

And speaking of sustainability, what does this term even mean in this context?
> Every baby step away from industrialization is a step towards sustainability.

This seems to be at the core of many of my acquaintance's "principles", for lack of a better term.
But it seems counter-intuitive to me: doesn't industrialization allow for:

* better efficiency (larger scale)

* higher technology, allowing more efficient techniques, again

?

At some point, you can't have each of us working on a small 1-family farm if we still want to be able to have, e.g. computers, high quality medicine, travels, etc.

Is "industrialization" the enemy here or is it growth and generalized overconsumption?

> What your evidence that these system cause more harm then good?

I have stopped following the accident investigations a few years ago, but that was the (very evident) trend. Most accidents tend to happen at the hand-over from the machine to the pilots when some problem appears. Among those it's very common that the both the machines and the manual procedures deal correctly with the problem, but the pilots have no chance of selecting the correct procedures. (The MAX-8 may have changed that picture all by itself, as I said, I stopped following them.)

And, yes, airplanes are different. You have pilots that are trained on getting hand-over in a bad situation, and usually have minutes to decide what to do. Car problems must be solved in a second or two, and the drivers never see a bad situation before it happens on real life.

It’s an interesting idea that we still “need” typing practice. We do it every day why would we need to practice extra?

To provide an additional use case, my wife just got me an awesome and completely configurable ergonomic keyboard for my birthday and I’m considering switching to Dvorak or Coleman layouts after typing QWERY my entire life. I NEED a long form practice like this instead of just typing nonsense short blurbs of words as most typing practice provides.

Super excited about this!

And why haven't they evolved into more powerful systems (solar-powered credit-card-sized phones for example)?

Those calculators have a 4-bit CPU running at a few kHz (actually frequency may depend on how much power the solar cell outputs.) You may have noticed they have a pretty substantial delay on input and computation. Hard to do anything but simple arithmetic with that limited amount of power.

There are credit-card-sized phones, but they have a traditional battery (and are a bit thicker than a credit card.)
