Emissions are not down -- they've just been exported. The analysis you're looking at is a common one, but it's a shell game. Plenty has been written on this topic and on actual, hard, ecological limits we face; the book I recommended above also covers this.

Capitalism is obviously not "fine" with recessions -- we dump enormous amounts of money into the economy when they occur in an attempt to stimulate it, and inequality tends to widen permanently in the absence of policies to counteract this.

Go can be understood as an improved C that keeps much of C's simplicity but adds small, powerful features like interfaces and channels and garbage collection

Go fixes C's well-understood flaws (declaration resembling use, unintuitive operator precedence, unrestricted address math, silent casting, zero-terminated strings, etc.)

Go puts essential C idioms directly into the language (pointer/length is formalized as slices, packages are part of the language instead of just being naming convention, etc.)

The longer I used C++, the more I despised it. I used C++ for 11 years and I literally hate the language. But C has always remained a pleasure, and Go is a continuation/modernization/enhancement of that

If you like C, you will love Go
So, we have the en-US locale returning arbitrary week numbers in a system that is not really well-defined or even used by anybody - in lieu of using the one and only standardized week numbering system. If a person asks a computer for a "week number 23 of 2021", the only sensible solution in any culture I think would be to use the ISO system. Only locale dependent thing should be on which "ISO week number" the Sunday falls.

My point is the "customary US system" seems to actually have nothing to do with week numbering - or has anyone actually heard someone say "23rd week of 2021" or such? This system seems to only make sense when talking about ordinal weeks in and around the New Year, meaning terms like "first week of 2021", "second week of 2021" or "last week of 2020". But those are ambiguous, even in cultures that use ISO weeks.

In my country ISO weeks are used extensively in business, but if you were talking about "first week of 2021" (ordinal), I would think you're talking about the week on which January 1 falls - same as the "US customary" system. But if you said "week 1 of 2021" (cardinal) I would understand immediately it as the ISO week 1 of 2021, which I know from experience is not always the same as "first week of 2021".

Vitess Graduation Retrospective
There's this Bell Labs video where Lorinda Cherry demonstrates it (shortly after 15:30): https://youtu.be/XvDZLjaCJuw
The economics of automation weigh heavily on what we create robots to do or represent. Something becomes cost prohibitive and we switch from getting it from people to getting it from machines. I used to argue what people called the thought experiment of the Turing Test, that determined whether people could be fooled by a machine - was really not about being fooled at all, but the representation of an Indifference Curve from economics, where what the machine produced was sufficient for the observer to be indifferent to whether they were being served by a person, or a machine, and they switch their choices accordingly.

The philosophical woo of Turing tests has been a multi-decade distraction from the clearer economic explanation that would have probably included more people in the discussion of what we should use machines to do, and the ethical responsibilities of the people who operate them.

The uncanny valley is just a threshold below the slope of indifference curve. It's interesting, but the preciousness of art often prevents us from looking at it as an expression of incentives.

But no, there's a kind of continuum, and Go/Zig "defer" is already pretty high towards "implicit flow of control" end. (I agree that exceptions are a notch higher.)

It's only C's syntax which is truly explicit. It's literally a structured machine-independent assembler. That's why it's gold language which is very hard to displace (it's already perfect for what it is). But just as everyone I'm watching with popcorn all the contenders popping up. (My humble opinion about Zig's issues on that path, I, together with other people, expressed here.)
well i didn't make it past the first sentence. good luck with this.
That's a very important difference, because isolation and the associated increase in overall security of the system is a core purpose of any virtualization technology. Docker promises a lot here, but a lot of those promises remain unfulfilled in reality.
Yes, containers are inherently easier to break out of than VMs, but even with that caveat there is room for improvement in container security. That alone is enough reasons for me not to be a big fan of docker in production.

But there are other vectors. With a VM you get a whole linux distribution, which of course increases the attack surface, but at the same time you also get much better isolation and that distribution's team of maintainers looking over your software, providing security patches, advisories, a simple way to update the system and so on. On the other hand there exist 'docker best practices' tutorials (not the posted one) that recommend not updating your base system at all in the name of reproducibility. Docker's solution to update management is manual image tagging and manual updates, possibly with help of external tooling. I don't think that's a good solution for that problem.

Imo the overall best solution is to run stuff in VMs and pick a lightweight distro for that.
Major changes that happen gradually are incredibly hard to notice if you aren't expecting them, and even if you did notice you might just think it's because you got over a cold or spring is here or similar.
There is the OSM Scout Server project, that makes it possible to download various OSM based data packs for offline use:

https://github.com/rinigus/osmscout-server

Then it provides various services (routing, PoI search, geocoding, etc.) over this data set to all applications running locally on your machine. It targets mainly various mobile Linux distros but works perfectly fine on desktop as well and is available in flatpak form.

Like this all navigation and mapping can share the same data set and no potentially sensitive location related metadata is leaked to a remote server other than what data packs have been initially downloaded.

Also the community run infrastructure just needs to be able to store and store and distribute the ~150 GB of data packs covering Earth but does not need to have any extensive compute and memory requirements to handle lots expensive of individual API queries.

> Maybe there are simply enough people who have the disposable income or are just bad with money that they don't care what an email program, or the new Apple headphones cost.

In general, targeting the people who literally don't care about price will not maximize profit. There are of course luxury brands that do target these people exclusively, but they aren't big companies.

Apple is a very strong brand so they can achieve high markups, but even they have price ceilings on what's reasonable, at least for their bread-and-butter products. Moreover, you can not just "decide" to be profitable like Apple by imitating its approach to product design and pricing.

That is not to say that you can't build a profitable company targeting the particular niche of users ready to spend $30/month for an email client. You just can't scale it.

> Getting sign off from peers can be tricky when everyone is busy, but perhaps only a few reviewers are needed,

I think, you have kind of answered the question yourself. Personally, I like to group people into three categories : understand, accept and agree.

The agree group is the one that you need to get 100% on board. Typically, this is the group that provides you resources (time, money and employees). The accept group is the one that doesn't need to agree but needs to accept the decisions taken. That is, they need to accept the structure in place to make decisions and understand that they are important. The accept group typically are people who are fence sitters and close watchers. They like what they see but do not have to necessarily agree with everything. Finally, the understand group is the ones who do not agree or accept but just understand what's going on. Typically, these people can influence projects outside the working sphere but as long as they understand it; they would not be difficult.

> the 1000£ will sit in your bank account and earn interest

You typically use a non-savings account to back a credit card. 0% interest

Most savings accounts give in the area of 0.01% interest.

While you’re right in general that you’d wanna use credit and keep cash for many things, a typical CC transaction is too small for this to be worth considering.

Use a CC for the points and pay it off every month. Forget the interest gains.

Make sure you don’t not pay. The interest on a CC loan will kill you. And that’s far more common for most people.
Where Is My UDP Packet? – Finding Packet Drop Location
In this simple blog, we are trying to figure out where is the packet dropped out.
The value derived from public goods is mostly not factored into GDP growth and (when executed well) serves people both more efficiently and more equitably than the purchases GDP does account for (obvious examples, public or publicly funded healthcare, parks, libraries). The degrowth argument is that overall this increase in efficiency would reduce production/consumption while improving lives, but it does also not ignore that particularly wasteful nations/lifestyles may need to live differently.

Hickel and others who write on degrowth are mostly very clear about these definitions (and Less is More is exceedingly thorough on the matter), but obviously you have to read past the surface level to pick up some of the detail. That's not meant as a dig at you or to imply that you're not willing to do more reading, just to clarify that because oftentimes these analyses are miles apart from typical US/western thinking, a lot of digging can be necessary.

As I noted above, Hickel applies a historical materialist analysis in a lot of his work, which can take some time getting used to (and, indeed, did for me).

> There is a reason Pixar and Arnold and Vray and most other major industry renderers are moving to the GPU

The reason is that those softwares need to be sold to many, and a big part of studios are doing advertise and series. GPU rendering is perfect for them as they don't need/can't afford large scale render farms.

About your example, that not honest. It's full of instances and perfect use case for a "Wow" effect but it's not a production shot. Doing a production shot required complexity management on the long run, even for CPU rendering. On this side, GPU is more "constrained" than CPU, management is even more complex.

I believe it can already be the case with Google’s (and possibly Facebook’s) apps on Android—at least in case of Google I witnessed real-life tests showing how saying something in presence of the phone causes related ads and content to be shown in feeds—but it’s scarier with less scrupulous app maintainers.

Ecosia, the company backing TreeCard, has a search engine that plants trees. Ecosia has claimed to have planted 116M trees. Several environmentalists have come out in support of the product — and specifically in support of the way Ecosia uses partners to plant trees on Ecosia’s behalf and the way Ecosia keeps their partners accountable.

I personally will have a hard time saying good-bye to my credit card rewards. However I think the wooden card might have a viral aspect because people will want to comment on how unique the design is. This looks like another great product by Ecosia, and I hope that they continue to make competitive products that plant trees.

It’s also worth noting that while planting trees is very good for the environment, it is not a silver bullet against climate change.
