Who imposes the taxes then? The exporting country (China) is unlikely to do it. The importing county is only likely to do it if the government and people support it. The problem is that even with a tax on the import, polluting in a developing nation would likely be cheaper than not polluting anywhere else. Many items do not have options to buy from various countries (economies of scale usually consolidate factories and leave little room for competitors). Not to mention that drastically reducing consumption (your comment about not buying) will cause most economies to fail since we are consumer based.
Humans live for decades. Catastrophic climate change is less than a generation away. It would take hundreds of years for the population to shrink enough to stop it.
Since the Paris Agreement was non-binding, it's not really relevant. Anyway, would you accept a country that had states representing over 50% of the population in the Agreement? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Climate_Alliance
I work with fusion researchers. We regularly talk about non-mainstream designs and unexplored areas of physics. It’s a lot of fun. The mainstream is mainstream because it’s what works, not because that’s what our fathers built. The theoretical physicists are actively working on a dozen empirical models. They throw out what they need to. No one’s saying “don’t fund alternatives”. Fund alternatives. Show that they work. They haven’t in the past, but if one did the most excited people will be the mainstream fusion researchers.
Although we probably do need to explain why the U.S. requires significantly more energy per person to let people live in comfort compared to European countries.

This was the comment I hoped to see when clicking the link. And if it wasn't here, I was going to write it!

I know we don't often do the flippant remarks thing here, but that headline was far too inviting.
The problem is that when it comes to emissions and the resulting climate change, it won't be a smooth self-correction but rather sharp and catastrophic. I believe we've already reached the point of no return and the greenhouse effect is out of control (north pole ice not recovering, permafrost melting, etc).

We'll see drastic climate change happening everywhere. It'll probably have little effect on "us" in the west; probably limited to local tragedies because of extreme weather and a price increase in food. But elsewhere it'll cause famine, mass death, and mass migration.

Sure if you zoom out enough, humanity will manage and survive just fine. But at what cost? You can try to be utilitarian about it, but you shouldn't shrug at the prospect of millions dying and getting displaced.
Here is an armchair strategist opinion :).

This seems to be an approach of "let's replicate what humans do with robots", which often fails due to complexity (humans are very versatile). For example, the separate problems of finding empty shelves and restocking those are much more complex if you try to solve them together. Do it with a ground-moving robot, competing for floor space with humans and it may be hopeless.

But if you aim for just finding empty shelves you can probably do so with a few high-res ceiling mounted cameras and algorithms. This also allows for incremental enhancements. If the system initially detects missed inventory at 80% of the shelves it is a good start (there are now fewer shelves for humans to check).

Incremental improvement usually beats trying to solve complex problems in one go. My 2c.

At first. See Peter F Hamilton's excellent Commonwealth Saga for a society where in 200-300 years the unfathomably rich are the super-rich of today, but where rejuvenation is so well-developed that it's government-provided for everyone, and immortality is just expected. The super-expensive start of the technology is covered in the short and less good Misspent Youth, which isn't really part of the main story. They get around the population explosion problem with portals to other habitable planets.

No, because companies that want to employ Americans can't compete with companies that want to employ Chinese, because it costs less to employ Chinese.

In other words there are externalities (polluting the global environment) that aren't priced into the cost of labor when you're comparing the two countries. Tariffs and similar things can help price in that externality.
Or more likely, the proponents of this will go the federal courts. Doesn't matter how many states say yes if the feds say no.

> and the HTTP package should not be polluted with assumptions about what (if any) data is being passed.

I'm not talking about the HTTP package itself. In Java and C# you do something along the lines of

// Java
CompletableFuture<PagedResult<Contract>> getContracts(...);
CompletableFuture<PagedResult<Client>> getClients...(...);
CompletableFuture<PagedResult<Book>> getBooks...(...);

// C#

JsonSerializer.Deserialize<PagedResult<Contract>>(responseBody);
JsonSerializer.Deserialize<PagedResult<Client>>(responseBody);
JsonSerializer.Deserialize<PagedResult<Book>>(responseBody);

And that's basically it. With Go you end up having fifteen identical PagedResult types for every single type that can be returned from the API because you can't parametrize anything:

// Go

type ContractsResult struct {
Result []*entities.Contract
NextPageToken string
}
type ClientsResult struct {
Result []*entities.Client
NextPageToken string
}
type BooksResult struct {
Result []*entities.Book
NextPageToken string
}

> Or they use code generators, which is also pointed out in the article.

Code generators are just bandaid for glaring holes in the language. Worse still, I don't know if you can even specify code generating tools in your go.mod. For example, wire's installation instructions say "you need to install wire globally and have it on your $GOPATH" [1] So your go build will just fail mysteriously until you have all the necessary tools installed.

That... that is exactly what I'm talking about.

Indeed. I forgot about those :) Yup, that would be a great use case for generics.

> These are jobs, not hobbies, and people need to eat.

The point is that this often isn't someone's primary job. They take a job at Walmart or driving a school bus, it doesn't pay very well, so they get off work and pick up some rides to supplement their income before going home.

They don't need health insurance because they got it through their first job or their spouse, and imposing that cost on the second job only requires them to get paid less or have less flexibility etc. as the trade off the company has to make to justify paying the additional cost of mandatory benefits.

My advice on printers:

- only buy a laser printer, no ink-jet, etc.

Free trade raises the standard for everyone. Today China has those issues, but free trade is raising their living standard. As standards of living raise people find pollution is negatively affecting them and so they solve the problem locally.

Of course the downside free trade allows production to move to places where there are no controls because non-local pollution both less affects any individual, and because international politics come into play trying to solve it, and those who have a bad standard of living see this as the rich trying to keep them down by not letting them compete.

The last might sound negative about free trade ever solving pollution, but it actually isn't. China and India are both reaching the tipping point where enough people are rich enough to care about pollution that they are doing something about it. Half the world population is already rich enough to care, and that half also wants more stuff so there isn't enough poor places left for this cycle of moving production to repeat for many more cycles. Also, every time production moves they bring the latest technology - China never had the cities full of coal smoke stacks spewing black smoke into the air like the US and Europe had 120 years ago. (they are big into coal, but their coal has always been cleaner just because some cleaner coal technology is also cheaper in the long run)

IMGUI is good on many levels, but also has some serious drawbacks. Specifically: latency in figuring out exactly how big a control or layout will be. This also translates into at least 1-frame latency when drawing to a widget based on user input. Imagine a scrubber line on a video timeline or graph, for instance.

Non-immediate mode GUI (retained-mode?) means that you can query a layout for exactly how big it will be before it gets drawn. So, if the user clicks at say (100, 200), I know exactly where to draw something in response to that click on top of my widget, without waiting a frame for the GUI to layout.

Maybe developers who have come up in the web world don't care, but I find reflow issues to be one of the worst features of browser apps. If you're going for a tight native experience, then this is a huge no-no.

The "immediate-mode" GUI idea was something that Casey Muratori, a very influential indie game developer, came up with. Part of his rationale was that it was annoying to store all the state for your widgets in a parallel data structure to the widgets themselves. So why not just draw the widgets, as needed, where you have the local variables and data to draw them?

Various developers and frameworks seem to get smitten with this idea, jump on the bandwagon, and then run into the flaws. For a long time the Unity game engine followed this model. I found the GUI easy to get started with, but ultimately limiting. Unity eventually abandoned this approach.

Really, this is good for developer-quality in-game debugging UI, but it's not a great approach for creating polished end-user UI.

I adopted IMGUI, used it briefly, was impressed by its speed, but ran into massive problems customizing controls to get exactly the right look and feel.

My take -- this is an ideologically-driven kind of neat but ultimately dead end. Use it to quickly get a dev GUI going, but it won't see you through to a polished consumer-ready GUI.
Cleaning up the US would probably mean outsourcing more carbon emissions to the rest of the world. Outsourcing is the primary way the developed world has "cleaned up" so far.

The only way we will substantially reduce CO2 emissions is to develop a source of energy that is carbon-free (or incredibly low carbon) and cheaper and easier to deploy than coal and gas. Reductions without that are politically impossible. There is no other way. If we don't succeed in doing so, we should plan for significant climate change as a certainty and begin planning our adaptive response.

How about neither? They're overwhelmingly part-time side work. This was pretty clear in the polls.

Capitalism and enterpreneurship is how we got here in the first place. Elon and renewables are only becoming a thing because of economic incentives from governments - positive incentives in the form of subsidies on e.g. new EVs, solar panels, etc, and negative incentives in the form of carbon taxes.

Take those away and the "green" companies would have NO incentive to push their work. They'd be working with people wanting to do better first and foremost, and then they would - ironically - be competing with petrol and energy companies, who also have "green" all over their marketing.

Renewables and EVs could not compete without government incentives.
As a kid we had an HP DeskJet Plus. It was built like a tank and cost close to $1000 (in 1989). It worked flawlessly for many years, and we only eventually upgraded to get color.

Part of me is nostalgic for the days when printers were built to last, but when I realize it cost the equivalent of $2000 today, I'm content with the cheap "disposable" printers they make now. $2000 would be enough for me to buy enough printers, paper, and ink to last my lifetime.
This is a sad day in history.
Oops! This is embarrassing. Looks like I broke the gatsby. Thanks for the heads up.
I agree with the first part of what you're saying. The purpose of concepts like "culture fit" is to encode the idea that human interaction can't be easily reduced to numbers and checkboxes, so people can be a bad fit for a team even if there's no specific job requirement they don't fulfil. You can go too far and end up with an exclusionary team only accepting carbon-copies of each other, certainly, but the idea that the entire concept of fitting in is fake seems too far in the opposite direction.
No, blame is spread also on consumer mentality, consumer love a new and shiny, brainwashing advertising, economic thinkers pushing the idea of continual growth. Etc etc etc.

Our whole culture is culprit. Like, When people preach not to use plastic straws, while they define themselves by the shiny crap they excessively shop online.

Which graph to look at depend on what question one has. If the question is "Who is polluting the world and need to stop" then country’s annual CO2 emissions is the single most relevant graph since that is where the pollution is right now coming from.

If one is to ask "whom's individual citizen way of living is contributing most" we would look at per capita C02. If the question is "Who is at risk of increasing their pollution" you would look at living standards and growth rates. If you ask "Who has the beast means to invest into climate change preventing technology" you would look at GDP. If you ask "where in the production chain pollution is created" then looking at trade gives that. If the question is whom is to be blamed historically for getting us into this situation then the historical global cumulative CO2 graph shows that, through I am a bit skeptical that it actually gives a correct picture since ww1 and ww2 were very central in ushering us into the age of fossil fuels.
It looks good compared to the hand-rolled debug GUIs that game developers often implement themselves on top of OpenGL. But, yeah.
Do you have a source for this? Because last time I checked this wasn't the case.
That's not how "natural self-regulation" works. People aren't PID regulators and don't suddenly adjust their fertility to not exceed the carrying capacity of the environment.

Natural self-regulation means hitting resource limits, followed by sudden and drastic mass dying off, through wars and starvation.

> Asking OS vendors to have proper accessibility in their OSs is IMO the more appropriate step for accessibility advocates

What more should OS vendors do? Is there anything OS vendors could do that would actually help the state of accessibility in fringe GUI toolkits like Dear ImGui? This isn't a rhetorical question. In addition to being an outspoken accessibility advocate on threads like this one, I'm currently a developer on the Windows accessibility team at Microsoft, which owns the UI Automation API among other things, and I want to know what more we should be doing.
I don't know...with modern CPU coolers. You can say computers are cooler than ever.

Joking aside, with TikTok and GPT-3, no matter your definition of cool. Computers and what you can do with computers are still damn cool.
You can already directly draw using framebuffers etc. However, you will likely end up re-implementing widgets in any case, if your app gets more sophisticated.

About UI, it is not necessary that it should be heavy and bloated. Lazarus IDE, for instance, produces very small binaries even for fairly sophisticated UIs and it is quite fast.
This is a very harmful, and yet depressingly common answer. "But look at [...finger-pointing here...]" — which "justifies" doing nothing.

They're not "inherently flawed". Color laser doesn't come close to the same high quality photo prints. If printing high quality prints is something you regularly do then inkjet is your only option.

It's not that the technology is inherently flawed, it's that way too many people are buying them for document printing when they should instead be getting laser printers. Inkjets are much more of a niche specialty product.
> This request wasn't well-received by developers, many of whom retaliated by posting copies of the code. Yesterday, things went from bad to worse when a user with the name 'F* T RIAA' uploaded three MP3s of the songs the RIAA mentioned in its takedown notice

RIAA couldn't care less. As far as I understand, they practically are just a team of lawyers whose job is to attack whoever they can reach, take whatever they can down and collect money when possible. They hardly even care about the actual recording business, let alone about how do people feel about them.
Wouldn't that tell any spy device / software that the subject has switched off the means he or she can be surveiled by? I cannot see how this could help with anything. They should rather do a physical switch that would 0 the data lines from these devices, so that camera or the microphone would be seen as working, but not sending any signal. Even better if you could pre-program some kind of ambience sound and pre-recorded cam video, so that once you turn it off, the perpetrator will think that they are still getting something.
You don't build coal fired power plants if your goal is to reduce pollution.

“It will allow these people to access very detailed
information, including how, when and where a person

a sexual predator, could stalk and/or harm victims by
exploiting insecure transmissions of vehicle
information.”

There's only one reasonable way to read this objection: our vehicles and/or information services are insecure, and we don't want you to be able to take advantage of it.

Instead of spending millions of dollars campaigning against this quite sensible proposal, why not spend the money developing secure transmission of information? Or better yet, transmitting as little information as possible in the first place?

Why do telematics companies need to know where you are? I'm aware that car insurance telematics companies provide location tracking for cases of vehicle theft (I had such a device in my car for my previous insurance provider), but that doesn't have to be actively-transmitting location data at all times; it could instead do so only after a secure request to the device from the telematics company after a theft is reported.

USA per capita CO2 emissions are large, but at least they have been coming down moderately fast. From 2007 to 2017, USA reduced emissions by 20%, whereas if we take Germany as an example of a country with strong "green" element in politics, Germany reduced by 8%.

Apply linear extrapolation, and USA would go below Germany in 20 years. Extrapolating with exponential decay, in 40 years.
