Doubt that electronic gizmos have much to do with climate change unless you’re running kilowatts for Dogecoin mining or whatever.

It’s heating and cooling, transport, and food. Maybe cement as well. If you buy a new conventional car, I have more to question you on climate change over.
Yep, 100,000 miles for the gearbox oil change on a Tesla, 2 years for the brake fluid and 50,000 miles for the battery coolant.

The odd thing about the brake fluid change is that because of regenerative braking, the pads usually last a lot longer than the fluid does.

It's not maintenance free, but service every 2 years rather than every 3 months feels substantially different.
The commenter is saying that the poster perhaps deliberately mischaracterised the actual complaints against Stallman to belittle the complaint and that's embarrassing.
Yes, but he sounded like he was defending Epstein.
How hard have you looked for the lights? Or are you specifically looking for the whole "customisable rgb lighting with ecosystem with apps etc."
Yes, but 'localism' lets people feel like they are 'making an impact', and that's what matters to them; feeling good about themselves.
While an electric drivetrain is relatively simple at its concept, the challenges usually arise when you plan on building millions of that presumably simple drive train.

I work at a bit automative supplier and see the thought that is required for building a seemingly simple component on a huge scale while ensuring high quality and safety. Designing the product is one thing, but designing it in a way where it can be built efficiently and mets a certain quality standard is where it gets difficult. And that is exactly the part where Tesla is struggling and where VW can make an investment that has a significant impact.
Interesting stuff but I would question how much you can infer about our society based on rodent behavior.
While on a personal level I agree with you, there is a saying in Dutch: "je moet niet wrijven in een vlek", which translates to "don't rub in a stain".

Sort of like the Streissand Effect; if BB starts posting press releases about "breaching trust", filled with apologies, the audience that will become aware of this issue will be a lot bigger than it currently is.

So from a PR persepctive, a one line low key "we pushed a fix" reply makes total sense.
why are you assuming that lockdown is going to last forever?
Launched Twittext – blogging platform for Twitter users
Last weekend I launched Twittext.com and I'am so happy to publish my first public project. I use Twitter and I like it, but sometimes 280 characters aren't enough, so I needed a free very simple blogging tool. I finished MVP and I'm looking to get some sort of feedback and adoption. Maybe this tool will be useful for you too :). Please take a look and let me know what you think. Thank you!
Does mob justice have a wonderful track record? Just because police and justice system are not perfect doesn't mean that the "alternative" is the one that should be considered right.
You're selling yourself as a fast alternative to Jira. There's already an established company doing that (https://clubhouse.io/). They also offer a free plan for teams of up to 10 users. You're obviously in business to make money, so good that you're focused on selling your product, but why would someone pay for Kitemaker rather than use Clubhouse for free? Edit: Yes, Kitemaker has a free plan, but it looks quite limited for real usage.

Git is already fundamentally serverless, isn't it? Sites like GitHub and GitLab (and whatever a company might have set up locally) are conveniences so that developers don't need to keep track of each other's keys and branches to multiple origins when multiple devs are working on the same branch. An origin can be any machine that is accessible to yours that is also running Git.

Just because nothing else in someone’s life has that high an Expected Value, doesn’t mean lotteries as they exist aren’t negative-sum games for their players (i.e. the system wins and the players as a group lose.) Just like private casinos. (People incorrectly see lotteries as different from casinos — they think casinos are high-margin while lotteries are effectively zero-margin.)

There are zero-margin lotteries, but we don’t call them lotteries; we call them in-turn crowdfunding. (IIRC there’s a traditional system of charity somewhere in the world built around having groups that pool funds and then donate the pool each month to one member.)
I do.

It's not enough. And uptake is a complex process, it's not as simple as supplement with a given isolate. Unfortunately, not every human body will adhere to a textbook case where a single supplemental pill or shot does the trick. If it did, I'd be in a better way.

As it is, I'm working on staying ahead of any problems B12 and anemia can cause me down the line. I'd rather not reach the point of others I've known who have to have regular blood transfusions to stay alive and prevent their minds and bodies from eroding.

I'll stick to my physician's word and millennia of evolution on that one, if it's all the same to you.

And please, show me some respect: you must know that consuming a complex of nutrients through a food source is not the same as ingesting a copious amount of an isolate. It's certainly not akin to an animal "swallowing a pill" for me.
Scala has its place... it's just not one that requires fast on-boarding (like a small startup where people constantly come and go). The success stories usually involve companies that are mature enough to spend time on design, training, and supervision (wix, for example)
If your question wasn't specific to this volcano, but any volcano, the answer is that every one is different.

A few years ago, I visited the Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua. It wasn't one you could get super close to, and the photos are a bit underwhelming, but it was still very impressive to see in person. This is what you can expect to see as a tourist: https://hotelplazacolon.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Masay...

The heat coming off of the volcano was significant, but not exactly overwhelming. The sulfur smell was overwhelming (apparently Masaya emits a lot of sulfur dioxide), and there were restrictions as the length of time tourists could stay at the volcano due to the gasses. There were signs all over, posted in English and Spanish warning about the health effects of the gasses emitted.
Yup agreed. That's why I stated it as "I found it to be...", coz I'm not trying to convince everyone else LOL.

It's never my intention for this library to try and be the "best" out there. I simply want to create what I sought for, which is the closest to the simplest approach I can think of. And to share it to the public, in case someone out there is looking for the same thing I am, and maybe it could help that someone. That's what open source is for, after all.
This problem will depend on the vendors you buy your products from.

Having a few brands of smart home devices which are all compatible with homekit, I just swipe down on my lockscreen and have all of them as shortcuts in the single native interface or use my watch to operate them with voice.

Android seems to have the Google Home app for this exact same reason, but I have no idea how well that works.

This isn't true unless your substitute is to eat nothing.
There is nothing in the article, nor in anything you've provided, that supports the idea that the English Heritage restrictions go into effect once a site has been nominated. Please withdraw that claim, or link to the relevant source.

Even assuming that's correct, however, it still would not make it acceptable to insinuate that something was already listed as a historic structure when it, in fact, had not been so listed.
That simply can’t be true in the wild. If that much carbon was released from plants in the wild, we’d never have coal or oil, right? Composting the grass might be the same as cows, but that process doesn’t happen everywhere there’s grass. In the wild, the grass would be trampled and new grass would sprout up to cover it, layers of soil would be generated. But honestly I’m just guessing, but your claim seems so far off the mark.
Similar to this, I've picked up photography and have started watching and following a number of POV street photography videos. It's a similar concept, except there's sometimes dialogue about what's going both in the environment and in the photography.
Presumably no because they also probably use it for analytics and/or security (blocking malware URLs)
You do if you want it to scale to large numbers of people. Affordable lab-grown meat (when we have it) and intermediate solutions like the one in this article (if it's indeed viable) actually work for everybody. Even if we assume that veganism is an okay choice for one's health, trying to convince people to go vegan won't get you very far.
But it offers exactly things like allocating some lanes to DisplayPort.

The unfortunate thing is that Thunderbolt was created, and instead of a simple way to make PCIe external, we have this Intel-created mess that tunnels PCIe over some cursed "MPLS-like network" or whatever it is. And it was completely Intel-proprietary until recently. At least now the spec is open.
I'm wary of making assumptions about "natural" differences between males and females, since it's easy to confuse them with cultural stereotypes, ie. what you've learned to think of as "normal" vs. what actually is "normal".

It may well be be that some component that's typically more prevalent in females plays a key role in the development of prosocial tendencies. If such a component were identified, it would be interesting to study its involvement in the development of both males and females.
You can quit but they can sue you for breach of contract.

I think what you are thinking about is the court almost certainly won't order you to go back to work after you quit.
I've started to see quite a bit of that on websites dealing with transfer of medical data. I figured it was probably some sort of an effort to handicap MITM potential of impostor websites that were trying to steal credentials. My theory is that it might be some sort of a tripwire for the website to detect fishiness and lock the account.
No hierarchy of tasks makes this about as (slightly less, no linking) useful as JIRA for practical purposes. There are a number of tools that do this kind of thing, so I'm struggling to figure the difference between kitemaker and say...Asana or Wrike.
This looks interesting. What is the service runtime controller in Piku? Is Piku mainly about configuring and controlling Nginx which directs Uwsgi that in turn runs app runtimes?

Also, does the k3s setup have publicly available provisioning code? Sometimes there's a need for temporary apps which happen to come with k8s configs.
I am really a beginner of both Scala and functional programming. I took the first Coursera course on Scala, and I got really frightened when I noticed that you can express many things in either the functional or in the object-oriented paradigm. One example is pattern matching vs. polymorphism. When you mix up those ideas throughout your code base, it might become really hard to understand.

This is just a thought that I had, and I wonder if that's actually a relevant issue in practice.
Lakoff's work is incredibly important, and his work on the way language shapes our public discourse has been very prescient. A lot of what's going on right now is well understood through Lakoff's lens.

I think that his work on cognitive linguistics is incredibly insightful, but potentially (ahem) dangerous. Language illustrates the mind, but I've come to believe that the ability of semantics to get us over the bridge between speech and cognition is limited. We certainly do use metaphors to frame our thinking, but I think that's building on top of a non-verbal cognitive system that the verbal system coopts. Coopts so thoroughly it's easy to be misled into thinking that's all of it.

That's not what Lakoff is doing, of course. He's largely going the other direction, to show how language manipulates us. Very important stuff. Just less epistemological than I used to believe.
Personally I think individual schools should have the right to demand vaccinations, but demanding every kid to be vaccinated to be allowed to school would not be the right thing, no. People who don't want to vaccinate should be allowed to seek institutions that school their kids without vaccinations.
My take on this: Some advances, but nothing that noticeable for large or medium-sized home speakers, compared to other advances.

Related story: until not long ago I used some inherited 70s Kef HiFi speakers with a cheap modernish amp, and they sounded lovely, even against more modern equivalents (which I also had).

A mid-70s TV, though...
It's not, but it's needlessly complicated for what most people need to use threads for - async background tasks like fetching a resource or (as mentioned in the article) parsing RSS off the main thread.

I've done threads in the past, but for a good while now I've not had to do much thinking about async code thanks to advancements.
people buy lottery tickets for many reasons; positive EV is not one of them. Saying people who play the lottery are morons because their activity doesn't fit your definition of smart just makes you ignorant, not them stupid.

one of the best jira alternatives out there. we use them and super happy with how this works and by Kevin and Sigurd responsivness to bugs and improvments.
China will build simple and cheap ICE cars. They haven't development much in 20 years.

The only way VW will be able to make money is through 'servicing' cars.
It's not that simple. Not all American beef is raised on native grasses.
Is there another industry where a few employees with "domain knowledge" can sink a company?

Asking because, while, yes, throwing money at the problem might be a solution, I think the obvious bigger issue is how does one allow themselves to get into this situation?

Or rather, how does one avoid getting into this situation. Because it seems to me that the software industry of late has become so mired in esoteric layers of abstraction that this feels less like an outlier scenario for a mismanaged company but more like an inevitable one for many otherwise well managed companies in the industry.
Automation is great. What's nice is the thing you described can also be implemented extremely cheaply without any fancy logic or network connectivity, and then it's just a Thing, not an IoT thing.
As an avid Rust and Julia user, I often use Rust even when it's harder because I know I'll never get stuck. And when it finally compiles I'll be rewarded by ludicrous speed.

Hell, even C has decent man pages for the standard library.

Although in Julia's defense (or is it?), they've changed the language a lot over the versions from 0.4 to 1.5, so maybe it's hard to keep docs up to date.
I just upgraded a spring boot app from 8 to 15, and it was seamless. It's been long enough now that most major dependencies just work with 9+ again.

> All coal plants produce the same amount of CO2, the dirtyness is inly related to micro-particles.

This isn't correct.

Different types of coal can result in dramatic difference in CO2 production per kWh hour generated.

I can't believe anyone seriously thinks this.

It's bad if you're in a position of power and you hit on someone under your influence - doesn't matter if they would reciprocate or not.
Yep, you're right, my mistake

It is also helpful to have at least two tape drives, and check the backup tapes against both.

Early in my career, we had a storm that caused an electrical surge. In spite of the power protection, it damaged the tape drive on the main server (unknown to us at the time). The entire rest of the system (CPU, RAM, hard drives (RLL!)) were fine.

Listening to the backups being run, I noticed it sounded a little different. Eventually I determined that the tape drive (old QIC, maybe 40MB capacity?) worked, but it would not switch tracks when reading / writing. So the backup ran, but it just overwrite the same track rather than write to subsequent tracks.

A short backup / restore wouldn't have caught the problem, it was necessary to try to read the whole backup to see. This wasn't caught for a while, so all the backups were mostly useless.

Java and C# typically require a VM, and not everyone thinks Go is "easier to write" than Rust.
A global currency on the blockchain (democratically elected governments who implemented/join the union), where shenanigans can't be done or hidden from others - like printing of money - I agree with, in essence getting everyone on the same or at least a more even playing field, and with population oversight possible into spending of their own government.
The problem with current approaches is that they’re trying to educate adults, and adults are stubborn and busy and already addicted to whatever they’re addicted to.

My hypothetical would make stats (including game-theory) part of the required high-school curriculum, where the lottery commission pays all the public stats teachers a comfortable salary. Teach kids about why lotteries are a bad deal for them before they ever play one.
This. I live in the American Midwest. I absolutely hate the winters here. If you're the subset of people who love winter sports it can be great, but I can't bring myself to enjoy them despite living here my whole life.
Fair point. Maybe I just wish it weren't outside the scope, as it feels like core functionality.

But SSGs have a different set of design tradeoffs (the lack of a WYSIWYG editor being another piece of functionality that seems to me to be core to a CMS), so maybe I just need to accept that.

I don't think SSGs are all bad, either. I wrote a blog post a few months ago talking about the tradeoffs: https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/3369

My question is, WHY is Backblaze using Facebook Pixel at all?

Exactly what business purpose does it serve from a customer perspective? Why are you tracking ADVERTISING on a portal with private customer data?
But how much does it reduce your total carbon emissions from all food sources? Any food source, animal or plant, can have a big impact if the agricultural practices involved are not sustainable. Destroying rain forests for palm oil plantations is arguably worse than raising cattle on pre-existing grasslands and using beef tallow in place of palm oil.
Yeah. Unless cops are all saints we should rely on mob justice.
>Star Simpson @starsandrobots Replying to @corbett

>I remember being walked around campus by an upperclassman getting advice during my freshman year at MIT. "Look at all the plants in her office," referring to a professor. "All the women CSAIL professors keep massive amounts of foliage" s/he said. "Stallman really hates plants."

Star is correct: RMS really hates plants, and is afraid of trees.
I was at a hotel with crappy service and asked about the problems with house keeping. The manager told me everyone in town (Traverse City MI) was trying to bring in foreigners to do housekeeping because they couldn't get local labor.

They said the standard is 30 minutes per room per day. I figure at a very generous $50 per hour (100k / year) it should run $25 to have my room taken care of. Now that doesnt cover the shared costs - doing laundry, cleaning the pool, front desk, etc... but my room was something like $150 per night. How the fuck can they not find people to clean rooms?

Answer: they're too cheap to pay a decent wage. But why? My suspicion is that all these places are actually leveraged far too much and paying rent/interest/dividends so much they can barely operate.

I suspect low interest rates and other incentives to "stimulate" economies are actually causing these problems.
The writing is on the wall. Most manufacturers are at this point actively milking their sunk investment in ICE for as long as they can while simultaneously developing their EV strategy without killing their ICE strategy. A few have woken up to the notion that this is a losing strategy and that they need to go all in on EV. Basically the market is split between compliance vehicles, limited production EVs also available in ICE or hybrid configuration, or 100% EV only cars. The latter tend to have superior cost margins, performance, etc.

VW basically is doing the latter and is now announcing the status quo that, yes, VW/Audi/Porsche ICE development is dead as a door nail. Porsche sales are already dominated by their EV sales and growing quite nicely. I think the Audi eTron is also considered a success at this point.

In Germany, an added dimension is that the unions are waking up to the notion that their companies need to change in order for their members to stay employed. Anyone employed in ICE production lines is worrying about when (not if) they will be layed off. There seem to be regular announcements from all German manufacturers about layoff rounds. So, this is very real for them.

VW has been converting factories to battery and EV production over the last years and they are ramping up volume production to probably surpass Tesla pretty soon in terms of volume sales. Considering the ID.3 only launched summer last year, that's impressive. I think BMW and Daimler are getting worried about their position in the market at this point (or at least they should be). So, unions understandably want to see realistic plans for the future from these companies. As opposed to e.g. BMW waffling about hybrids as "the future" so they don't have to talk about not having a lot of EV production or a plan for fixing that.
