Polestar published their transparency report which states that their fully electric Polestar 2 compared to a Volvo XC40 will break even in CO2 emissions after 112k km (Global energy mix), 78k km (European energy mix) and 50k km (wind energy).

Also for the lazy: this is a talk by J. R. R. Tolkien.
>Before any new car hits the showroom, the EPA runs an emissions evaluation and calculates a “CO2 equivalent” – a single number that represents GHGs CO2, NO X , HC, and CO. The CO2 equivalent units are in grams/mile, so a higher number means more GHGs and more climate damage. For a 2WD 2020 Ram 1500 HFE on the highway, that number is 340 g/mile. Unfortunately, motorcycle emissions data isn’t documented by the EPA. This is a real issue, because if the problem isn’t measured you don’t know what to fix.

>There are a few independent studies that shed light on the issue, however. One published in 2008 by Swiss researchers took real data from several motorbikes including a BMW R1150GS. The GS highway CO2 equivalent is a stunning 380 g/mile (17% worse than the Dodge)! They found that a 1993 Honda Shadow VX600 with only 583 ccs spews a whopping 408 g/mile. That is twice as much as a new Honda Civic!

>Other studies would suggest the problem is even worse. Global MRV tested out their portable emissions equipment in 2011 comparing 12-motorcycles to 12-cars of varying years (this was featured on an episode of Mythbusters). Motorcycles were almost universally terrible, with motorbikes from the 2000’s producing 3,220% more NOx and 8,065% more CO2 than cars of the same era. California has the largest motorcycle ridership in the country, and in 2008 the LA Times reported that while motorcycles accounted for 1% of all miles traveled, they were responsible for 10% of the state’s smog-producing emissions.

I've had my M1 since 1994, so I enjoy riding, so please don't take this as all negative. But it's important to look at the real data, which is much worse than people think with regards to emissions and pollution.

This is OS-configurable. Look for /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc*/sdram_scrub_rate on Linux.

The motherboard doesn't really get a say on whether the OS can correctly use ECC support on AMD as far as I know. As long as the memory is correctly initialized in ECC mode, the OS should always be able to use its EDAC driver to interact with it.
Kinda disappointing there's no JMAP support. I understand why, though.

SGBD=RDBMS in spanish, right?

What RDBMS did you use in on those times? PostgreSQL is pretty powerful these days(RLS, Extensions, FDWs, json functions, etc). I'm lead to believe that older RDBMS's didn't offer all the rich functionality we have today.

It's fair to incentivize EVs because they are far less damaging to the planet and local communities than gasoline vehicles. Gasoline vehicles get to pollute for free, why don't non-polluters get to use the road for free?

Either you're trying to minimize climate damage and disproportionate harms to vulnerable communities, or you're business as usual.
Ah, hmn, that is a very good point.

Per my previous comment, motorcycles are more efficient that cars, in terms of consumption of fuel. (though not as much as I'd have thought)

But they're also worse on emissions, which is the public harm that is of greater interest here.

And yikes, those numbers.
For what it's worth, `man fdatasync` on linux says (emphasis mine)

fdatasync() is similar to fsync(), but does not flush modified metadata *unless that meta‐
data is needed* in order to allow a subsequent data retrieval to be correctly handled.
For example, changes to st_atime or st_mtime (respectively, time of last access and time
of last modification; see inode(7)) do not require flushing because they are not neces‐
sary for a subsequent data read to be handled correctly. On the other hand, a change to
the file size (*st_size, as made by say ftruncate(2)*), *would require a metadata flush*.
> As if it's fine that men with small hands can't compete (very common too btw), but oh-boy, since it's especially affects women, now it's a super big wrong that has to be corrected.

The site points out that adult men are affected. It also points out that it makes it more technically difficult for children learning: forcing them to learn unergonomic things that will not be necessary as their body grows.

But yes, it disproportionately affects women, which is an additional reason to be concerned.
Yeah client's will timeout for sure after a few minutes. The API doesn't know that though... it'll just sit there wasting an ungodly amount of resource and causing tonnes of noisy neighbor problems. You look in the APM traces and see one with 8 million spans that enumerates the whole database. Just silly. It's easy to be a 10x engineer in an environment where there is a lot of 0.1x engineering :(
> Implementing the tax now makes sense because it brings ICE and EV into alignment now

It doesn't. ICE vehicles are effectively subsidized by not pricing in externalties. The playing field was never level, suddenly insisting that it ought to be is a selective demand for rigor.
It is most definitely not a posterior probability, but it’s always hard to tersely write out which process you’re describing in plain English and no formalism. All the probabilities I mention are probabilities in the sense of a CI. And I’m too lazy to write it out thoroughly.

Their video player is probably one of the worst I've experienced. It [1] requires me to hit play twice to get a video to actually play almost 100% of the time.

Singapore isn’t comparable to this situation at all. To simply purchase a car in Singapore you need to purchase something called a certificate of entitlement, which entitles you to own a car for 10 years. They’re sold by tender, with different tenders for different types of cars. But you’re looking at about $30k USD just to buy the right to then buy a car. Singapore is also a country where essentially the entire country is covered by mass transit.

If I had spent my practice career on a smaller
gauge instrument, I would be hobbled on any house
piano.

I somehow find it unlikely that you could go an entire career without ever having a few hours to practice on a larger keyboard. TFA cites some research saying that it takes about an hour to completely acclimate to even the smallest of the standardized sizes they propose. I could sort of believe that you'd have not spent as much time stretching and might not be quite as flexible, but at the same time, I could also see you having had fewer hand injuries and being more flexible.

edit: I read more of the linked site. I no longer particularly believe that practice could make you better at reaching larger spans. http://smallpianokeyboards.org/pain-injury-and-performance-q...
I started reading a lot during corona. And I still am. I read all sorts of books, self help, philosophy, technical, sci-fi.

I’m so happy I finally started enjoying reading, and I will never stop now. It’s not only made me more calm, but also I tend to listen more to others, rather than needing to say my opinion on some subject. It’s like the more I read the more I know I have a lot to learn from others.

Even though I started late, it’s nothing I regret :-)
If national productivity is insufficient to fund a basic income, how has a basic income been needed for some time? One of the assumptions of basic income is that automation will displace so many jobs that people will be redundant. But if the economy cannot fund basic income, then not enough people have been displaced yet, and there isn't enough automation.

Maybe there's an argument to be made that instruction of children should happen on smaller keys, so that they have greater reach and can grow into performing on larger keys.

Just like evidence shows that kids develop better shooting form and develop better playing on an 8' basketball hoop than larger hoops... I'd suspect that smaller keyboards would be better for children.

> 2. Get a smaller one for yourself, and assume the risk of increased mistakes when performing on someone else's full size.

Given that the current size is too big for most people, maybe we'd converge to the medium size suggested eventually in a perfect world.
They've had feature parity forever. Every app ever released hasn't been updated yet, however.
Y'know, I think this gets to a central issue in technology in general. Perhaps even the issue.

Let's say we all agree that most pianos should have one, consistent size. Even so, the optimal size is probably at least a little smaller than what we have today—after all, I'm seeing lots of complaints that the keys are currently too big, and almost none that they're too small.

So, is it worth changing the standard size to something more optimal? You would end up with a lot of older pianos that have the legacy size, and it would take a very long time for those to age out of use. But it would happen eventually, and the status quo is clearly creating problems.

Personally, I'd come down on the side of maintaining the status quo. Whatever benefit we'd get from from smaller keys would not be worth the pain of the transition. Everyone would have to learn a new size, and potentially replace their pianos.

And this is also why I'm not so enthused by USB-C. Or replacing the headphone jack.

But, clearly some change is needed, sometimes, or else we'd all be using Mac OS 9, and laptops gigantic enough to accommodate bulky optical disc drives. I'm in favor of those transitions—they were painful, but the need was great enough to make them worthwhile. All the way at the other end of the spectrum are Slack's weekly UI redesigns, both because of their frequency and because they rarely seem like clear-cut improvements.

I'm a pianist of 20 years. I'm fine with manufacturers making these products. I'm fine with new repertoire being written for them too. There's just no getting around the fact: large hands are an advantage in piano music. If you can reach a 10th easily, that's great. If you can reach an octave very easily, thats very great. If you can't reach an octave easily, you will never master a large fraction of passages in Romantic and later music.

For instance, try playing the octaves in Nocturne Op 48 No 1 by Chopin with small hands...far harder!
After Bradley Taunt published 1MB.club, a good discussion sparked ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25151773 ).

One big opinion that I definitely share is that 1MB is actually pretty generous, even excessively generous. So I went for a more reasonable number that allows for fast loading everywhere but also some complexity. Another point raised was that not only the size should matter but also the amount of content. 200kb of pure text are probably more valuable than a single word shown with a 200kb webfont.

The page analysis and insertion are (semi-)automated. As currently visible on 1MB.club, the manual process is just not feasable. The pages are downloaded and analysed with Phantomas. They are also rechecked after a week.
I’ve been hoping to see a project like this surface for vintage iPhones. Even devices going back to the iPhone 4S are absurdly fast in a way, great networking, would make fine brains for robots and all sorts of devices. It’s a pity that so many disappear from the world in one way or another.

Yes, the first sentence is confusing, but I still consider phoronix to be quite valuable. They always link to the original source, which is more than what many news sites do.
> what if people learned to shoot hoops on various basketball-rim heights? Isn't that going to be counterproductive in the long run?

Actually, consensus is forming around the opposite, here! Small children are almost never strong enough to shoot with proper form on a 10' hoop. If you give them an 8' hoop, they can begin practicing with proper form earlier, which is a more important factor in consistent shooting than having to adjust to a higher hoop later.

There is something to that.
I noticed while driving to Tahoe the last time that the right lane on the mountain roads was absolutely trashed in the tire path. I assume this is mostly due to chain usage, but it was incredibly more present in the right lane where semis drive.
I specifically remember seeing this distinction in, of all things, a 40's war-era Superman comic, where an everyman G.I. character tasked with truck driving was told, "anyone can steer - we need drivers!" Which makes me believe "drive" probably is nautical in origin and then corrupted through casual usage in automotive transit, where steering and driving are more often equated.

I predicted at least a decade ago that wide usage of open source would not only bring more 'duct tape' jobs (although I didn't use this term), but it would lower the average salary, because duct tape jobs don't really require as much skill or education.

Sometimes you need to buy and integrate three different tools to get the thing you could do with a small in-house tool. And each of those three tools have a lot more features and options than you need and require a lot of configuration. Then you also have to upgrade those tools. Sometimes you need specialists. Sometimes if something breaks due to an upgrade you have to contend with the vendor's support staff.

Sometimes, all you needed was 50 lines of bash script.
I think you need data to support that 50% claim. Otherwise you could just as easily claim the other 50% thinks the same way about fascism. Maybe it's just extremists you're looking at.

That's not taking into account how older machines are typically used though. Yes, you can install the latest Windows on a 1.6GHz dual core PC from 2006, but it's not going to make a great PC. On the other hand, it makes a fine host for a NAS device or some other home server, or a router/firewall, or a media PC to hook up to the TV etc.

An iPad or iPhone would do much of the same, and in some ways better or for different uses. It uses less power. It could be used as an in-wall display. It could be a WiFi repeater, or an access point given a USB ethernet adapter. People are creative, if you give them the chance. And none of those things really care if the battery is flat.
