No, induction cooktops are "hot" (heating your cookware) absolutely instantly, and in power boost mode transfers more energy into your cookware than gas. Basic ones are also no longer expensive, at least not in Europe.

You do need magnetic cookware so pure aluminum pots are right out but you really don't need expensive stuff.
Have you ever used an induction cooktop? Personally, it seems far superior to a gas stove
Why? Clearly, I'm not a chip designer, so maybe it's a dumb question. If you can place GPU cores, CPU cores, Neural Engine, and RAM on the same die, why can't you then use a second bank of RAM dedicated for the GPU cores? Why would this not be considered similar?
gas furnaces and water heaters don't work when the power goes out anyways. Only thing that works is the range.
What surprised me the most about SV's weather is how it affected my perception of time. Without the slow rhythm of the changing seasons, ten years passed in an uncertain blur. I find it very hard to place memories in any given time.

Maybe that's just an effect of getting older. I just moved away to a place with four seasons again, so we'll see!
It looks like there will be a new season of "Occupied" TV drama :)
What you can control is what you do for a living. You can find jobs that are in the middle of that diagram. You can do multiple things that combine to make the middle of that diagram and so on.

Saying it's outside of your control isn't entirely true. However, I do get not everyone can get to the center of that diagram; for some people it is within their control and for some it is not. To blindly dismiss it as a lack of control is a form of learned helplessness, however small, which for many is a root that creates depression. If you're depressed, this may be something you want to talk to a therapist about.
Cool - let me just burn oak or pine everyday in my kitchen that sounds like a GREAT idea
We are butting up on the physical limit, but to be fair, that’s what people have been saying for over a decade, and we keep going.

According to Wolfram Alpha, 5 nanometers is ~23 silicon atoms across (~2.2 Å each). But that’s also assuming they’re actually fabricating 5 nm gates - which they’re not.
It has way too much power without going through any sort of democratic process
What does having a script to eject said footage out of the device help in this case?
Give me a break. Humans have not used natural gas for millennia to cook. If this was truly about sticking to your roots, you'd be cooking over a woodburning stove and this wouldn't be an argument. But you're not, because this is about something else.

If it was literally "impossible" then you probably have some impairment that prevents you from caring for yourself. But "Impossible" here doesn't mean its literal definition, right? It roughly translates to something like "too different from my old routine for me to put forth any energy toward adapting in the name of public health and the environment."

This has to he the most bogus and first-world complaint for people to throw a fit over having to cook with electricity.

EDIT: fireplace->stove
thank you for tweaking the title. the original, vague title plus the photo from 1957 (wtf) were misleading for me.
Try induction stoves. Better than gas.
This site is a great resource. The event delegation section is something I have bookmarked as when entering a new contract I typically don't have access to my own code to use as a reference.
If you want speed, you don't use a linked list in the first place.
It's really to tell the OS's package manager at install time what the entry points are and what device capabilities are required. The fact that app stores can also parse that information out is a convenient side benefit.
The answer is no, they shouldn't. But LA Times needs to sell clicks, and politicians need to get re-elected.

There's a lot of reasons. First, harm to low income families. For instance, _requiring_ that new homes have electric vehicle chargers in the garage does nothing to help immigrant families purchasing their first home is a similar proposal that doesn't nothing but increase harm to the environment and low income families. This is another one of those stupid laws that are designed to move ownernship out of the hands of the poor and keep it centralized to the rich.

Second, This sounds like way to funnel money to political donors.

Third, didn't PG&E just set half the state on fire? Is this really a good idea to load them up even more?

Finally, politicians need to focus on results, not specifying the means. Let the free market, actual scientists and engineers figure it out.
The university situation is not particularly unique in SV. What other infrastructure do you mean?
Have any projections been made on the net effect on the environment of EFFORCE? It seems a bit ironic to me that a project laser-focused on energy efficiency depends on blockchain, which massively contributes to electricity consumption and carbon emissions.
A natural gas flame is much better for air quality than any other common combustion-based heat source (like, sure, hydrogen would be a bit better, but...).
I like TailwindUI. Of course, made by the creators of TailwindCSS. A bit spendy, but worth it.
What really helps in the case of testing is lead by example. If the project itself provides a good test framework and examples of properly implemented tests it is easy for contributors to add tests as well. But asking people to figure this stuff out themselves is often a really big hurdle. Also parametrized tests. I find no shame in asking people to add a case to a existing parameterized testsuite when submitting an issue.
There's some defi apps that allow you to buy non-custodial versions of synthetic stocks 24/7. I would say this is provably better than the current centralized system. If all stocks were issued as tokens, then the velocity of money would drastically increase. In addition, the tokens themselves could be allocated to automated contracts for liquidity and to receive yield for lending/burrowing. Peer to peer finance.
Hi Brutus,

Duckietown is based on ROS. You can assemble the robot and control it easily from ROS on your laptop (note that the stack runs on board completely).

For new hardware: we have in beta a Drone version of Duckietown for the high school: https://sites.brown.edu/duckiesky/
The Drone MOOC will arrive in time.
Seriously? After using natural gas in my home, I can’t go back. Gas logs in a fireplace are our emergency heat source during the winter in case of a power outage. Gas furnace and water heaters have been tremendously more effective at controlling temperature than any electrics that I’ve dealt with. The gas stove was absolutely life changing for how we cook at home.

And that’s before we factor in almost all emergency home generators run on natural gas.
Isn't this very subjective? One person's "hard to beat weather" is another person's hell on earth. I personally hate heat and sun so I want to live somewhere where it is cool and cloudy the majority of the year. That is my idea of hard to beat weather. For other people that probably sounds terrible.
Practice makes perfect. Electric stoves are in wide-spread uses all around the world. You're right that they require a different technique but I'm sure that you, too, would be able to master it.
That's a great point, we should attempt to limit respiration.
That's fair. I guess the appeal to me as an employee is that I don't want to like count and ration my vacation days. As long as I can take the time I feel I want/need/deserve without worrying I don't care about making sure I'm maximizing my allowed vacation or even how it compares to other people. But maybe that's not feasible via policy or lack thereof, and having a set number of vacation days is the least worst way to do this thing.
Heat pumps are not the same as resistive heating
Hydrogen?

Obviously there are some cooking techniques that require flames, but heat is ultimately fungible when it comes to pans etc.
In .doc format... the irony!
Could not disagree more. The article's main argument is wrong and dangerous to an extent! A software engineer's productivity depends on the quality of his thinking that goes on between his two ears - not on the number of lines of code (LOC), number of commits and some other meaningless measure. I don't think the author knows/understands what it takes to operate at a Senior/Staff level and beyond. Yeah, may be for someone just out of school productivity can be measured in terms of lines of code. OTOH, if a Principle Engineer in the team comes to me and says that he feels great just because he added 500 commits/30k lines of new code to the code base I will just say one thing: "run for your life"! as soon as possible.
California is running on 38.0% natural gas right now.

http://www.caiso.com/todaysoutlook/pages/supply.aspx

With renewables making up 32.7%.

When the sun drops by late afternoon, CA will be making electricity on natural gas.

Heating at night will almost be entirely natural gas. Even if you have an electric heater, the electricity will be generated using natural gas.

So what is exactly the benefit of ripping out natural gas from homes?
Paywall, can't access/read.
CA's power demand is already greater than supply because our politicians close nuclear.
But we see relatively few outages related to supply because CA just buys more and more power from other places like Utah (where it is generated with coal and ramping up due to demand from CA)

Most of our power outages is related to obsolete and un-maintained power-grid being fragile to high loads and wind.
As always, nice article. Just wanted to point out in case people are curious that Dart is looking at adding pattern matching, since it's mentioned in the article.

One should never stop complaining about bad things. It is important that everyone knows it and is reminded of it regularly. Especially now that it seems to be common knowledge that Microsoft got rid of their bad past with Ballmer and is now one of the good ones with their great new "Microsoft <3 Open Source" approach.
> But trees or rotting trees can produce methane. Depends on tree variety, location, transport, and disposal.

What do location and transport have to do with the methane they produce?

If you look at the article, the map of production by states shows that trees are relatively much closer to population centers than anything coming from China. So in addition to the heavy pollution from PVC production, there's also the heavy pollution from transoceanic shipping.

Just how much methane do these rotting trees produce?
I used one once a long time ago. They are probably better now. They are certainly decent substitutes for gas for wealthy people who can afford them.

> There are zero hotspots so food doesn’t scorch.

Heh, I actually keep a heat gun next to the stove so I can check for hotspots. But you're right, that is a big problem with gas.
Honestly, for a severe finding like this in their product I think they should have:

a) Paid out a bonus anyways for the finding (bug bounties do this often, certainly we did at Dropbox)

b) Made this scoping issue more explicit somewhere
The walkability of older European cities cannot be overstated as a huge quality-of-life improvement! Bikability too, which is a big feature of many European cities.

The language issue is real, though. It's probably better, I think, to accept that you can't speak the language, and to give yourself a break learning it. If you like it, and want to learn, and want to be able to deal with banks and mobile providers over the phone (extremely difficult without fluency, and computer translation tools won't help you!), then take a class, and take it slowly.

It's stressful enough to move overseas. My advice is not to add language on top of everything else you have to learn - you are lucky to speak English, so lean into that. (Many people will appreciate practicing their English with a native speaker, too - although some small minority will hate you for it.)

But yeah, don't do what I did and try to do everything at once. It's stressful, exhausting, and you never give yourself a chance to recover, mentally or emotionally, from the stress of learning. Be kind to yourself!

I just think that the world is a better place with more plants ( I was just commenting about Singapore's setbacks with respect to how green a super dense city can be )

but What I am stating is that no house is complete without a healthy level of plants... (its the same as that adage; don't ever listen to a person who doesnt have any books in their home)

So dont like a home where there are no plants!

Funny that your comment is downvoted. Induction is both safer, more efficient, and easier to control. I can dial my stovetop into an exact temperature, and a pot of water boils under a minute.
I didn't want to belittle your work, if you think that was the case. It's still outstanding to find things like that on your own, and a lot of work goes into it. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression.

I have analyzed foreign code bases of similar dimensions in the past myself and found critical bugs. The size doesn't say much, it comes down to identifying the "interesting" bits (like the electronSafeRpc in this case), which can be hard and tedious, but greatly reduces the code you have to look at in detail. My assertion is that if your name is e.g. China then you will not be turned off by that.

How were you not using a gas water heater 15 years ago?
Environmentally it's better to burn the gas for heat, and send the electricity back on the grid and offset some other usage of electricity with your solar cells.

Both CO2 and energy usage are global things, not local. There is no such thing as saying "my heat is sourced from solar power".

I bang my head against a wall everyday for a living.
I don't know, but story time about another celebrity much admired for his past achievements.

Stan Lee was involved with a company called Stan Lee Media back around 2000 or so. Turns out his business partner was attempting to use it as a pump and dump scheme, and fucked off to Brazil when he heard the Feds were sniffing. But it gets stranger! When Stan Lee himself reacquired control of the content he created for SLM through a new company called Pow! Entertainment after SLM went bankrupt, his former business partner tried to sue him, from federal prison using intermediaries, to reacquire control of all of Stan Lee's creations, including Marvel properties like Spider-Man! The ensuing legal battle would dog Lee for the rest of his life -- kinda like how SCO v. IBM is unresolved to this day, there's still a little stub of a company trying to assert copyright over Linux.

I think Wozniak, like Lee, may have innocently gotten involved with some shady characters. Hey, it's California, it's the tech industry, these things happen.
LA county bought 18% of its electricity from Utah, where it is generated in the dirtiest way possible - with coal.
Utah's power plants are now ramping up capacity due to increased demand from CA (which will go up because CA closes its nuclear).
The increased capacity will come from natural gas and "clean coal" (lol)
How likely is it that Nvidia will mimic the SoC approach and provide a similar unified architecture for PC vendors? Could this be the end for ATX components?
For me, it was trivial to implement a color selector. I basically never use `text-{color}-500` but instead change mine to `primary` `secondary` etc. (I do have some for grays, though).

I am relatively new to react, one of the first things I noticed was that state management and REST-based data retrieval were funky and lacked a streamlined solution.

I was lucky to join as this project was getting some momentum, since it accounts for server and client states and obviated the need (for my purposes) to use redux.

It is hook-first in its approach and handles a lot of things I don’t want to deal with.

It seems like Apollo has some similar / good stuff, and the author has spoken to how Apollo influenced his build of this library.

I’m not yet on the node / graphql train, though so this fit the bill well.

> We will lose the battle against climate change. We simply do not have 30 years to become free from fossil fuels

My understanding is that despite +2C being an important limit we should not cross, that every bit of warming we stop above that provides increasing benefit because every bit above +2C is increasingly harmful (i.e. the increase from +3C to +4C is much worse than the increase from +2C to +3C).
Which proves his point - its not as life-ending as the top level OP made it sound. I hate cooking on electric stoves but lets not pretend its akin to losing a leg.
> All gas stoves should be below a hood with a ducted outside vent, the more powerful the better.

The best part is how many "down draft" vents are put into place, even new luxury construction.

They look nice, but don't do much...
I guess that may depend a lot on where you started from. I've lived in Hong Kong and then grew up in Florida, went to school in New England, and then lived in Texas for a while before moving to the Bay Area. The Bay Area weather is insanely good by comparison. The general trends are so stable and predictable. It's nice temperate and dry most of the year. I used to be a pretty avid runner. I went to visit my buddy in Houston and we went running. I had to stop after 3 miles (I normally run 5 to 10 miles in the morning) because it was so hot and humid. It made me really respect people who exercise in areas where the weather isn't so amendable to outdoor activities.

(Updated: I just read all the sibling comments. We are nearly all from other states and have now all become huge weather weaklings from living in CA!)
Nothing beats a gas flame for heating up bread, both for speed and taste. I’d hate to have a kitchen that can’t do that basic task.

My gas stove has 4 D-sized Batteries underneath, haven't replaced them in nearly a decade.

Ya, imagine if someone like, accused the American voting system of being totally corrupt, without evidence and then specifically called out 3-4 of the largest majority Black population cities as being the root of corruption. And specifically called out all the poll workers (most of which are Black) in those cities as being corrupt cheaters.

Just imagine the uproar. No one in their right mind would stand behind someone like that, right?
It baffles me that this isn't the consensus.

I've waged wars over documenting styling rules (some too complicated to be covered by a formatter - which by itself is a red flag) because I know that people often forget to enforce rules that they themselves have come up with.
I have a builder-grade gas stove, and my gf moved into a new place with a fancy new high-end Bosch induction cooktop. I cook on both regularly. The induction stove is far slower to heat up, and very finicky to use (will sometimes shut off). Not to mention that my gf had to get mostly new pots and pans to use the induction, since most of her existing pots and pans were not magnetic.

Also, the gas stove will continue to work when the power is out. All I have to do is light it with a match, but the induction cooktop will be out of commission as long as the power is out. We regularly have electric outages, but I don't remember ever having a gas outage.

Today I can write an app that supports every language, not just English + (optionally) latin scripts. I can support every operating system, without worrying about platform quirks like fonts or rendering. I can deploy to it be available to every person on the planet within minutes, because I don't have to worry about managing my own hardware. I can harden my app in advance to security problems thanks to the knowledge that's out there. I have access to memory safe, highly efficient languages that didn't exist or weren't mainstream even 15 years ago.

If you asked a competent programmer to do the same thing 30 years ago, they would take at least 10 times more effort than I put in, if they finish at all. Likely they'd give up on Linux/MacOS support, give up on Chinese, Japanese and Korean support, code it in 90s PHP and hope they didn't have any security problems.

All of these are actual productivity improvements. Don't just measure time taken to complete a project. Measure actual work done and features shipped. We're doing more now, because we can.

Solar panels is something I'm surprised isn't required more, but I guess depending where you live they could go flying off, like in Florida it is a concern to some. However, if it is built-in to how the roof is designed, I can't imagine it'd go flying off if properly secured on your roof. Maybe once the technology matures to the ones Tesla has and sells.

That’s probably good general advice.

One problem. I’m increasingly coming across devs who’ve never used Promises directly, only async/await. They’re introducing all kinds of problems into code because they don’t have that foundational understanding of Promises. I think it’s essential to know how Promises work, even if we generally recommend async/await.

Also, Promise interface can do things that async/await cannot, such as Promise.all, and other unusual async execution scenarios. It’s important to have those tools in your belt.
