The temperature change is not the dangerous part of climate change for countries away from the equator. It's all the other changes that accompany that, which will affect Novosibirsk too directly or indirectly. Like loss of biodiversity, climate refugees, unstable political situation, etc.

I do agree with you that Canada and Russia are likely to suffer the fewest negative effects. But I wouldn't say it would be a net positive for them either. It's not impossible, but there are a lot of unknowns at this point and a lot of potential feedback loops that could be devastating, like mass extinction level devastating.
Argo Rollouts (a progressive delivery tool) hits v1.0
Now subtract 32 F and you get 2.7 F which is the delta.
Pretty sure it's closer to +2.7°F since the conversion factor is 9/5
What mask debacle? Masks have been shown to be quite effective against aerosolized viruses, and the “5nm limit” has been shown to be a historical error of interpretation - droplets up to 100nm have been shown to be transmission vectors even in the original Tuberculosis experiment where the 5nm value was misinterpreted from, and non-medical masks are quite effective in these upper size ranges.

Further proof can be seen in the latest flu season - there simply wasn’t one at all. At least in British Columbia, where numbers of flu sufferers were so negligible that they dipped beneath statistical error levels.
A change of 1.5C is about 2.7F.

Edit to add: I think I and sibling commenters have been trolled :-)
Can people please push for 100% renewable crypto mining and chips in the next 1/2 years? There isn’t a lot of time left.

Beyond crypto need to stop all deforestation now and focus on ways to make cities more livable by decreasing or moving homeless and increasing transit and affordability of housing. Cities need to be more livable and comfortable. This will drive down deforestation of suburbs and the extensive fossil fuel use involved in transportation and movement of people outside of denser urban areas.

There isn’t a lot of time left and action needs to be taken urgently.
That may be due to the fact that your software (like your OS) was built for a world of slow spinning disks, or maybe semi-slow SSDs at best. Not a lot of code is written with the assumption that disks are actually fast, and it's not too common to see people organizing sequential read/writes in their programs (except for dbs).
You have done the math wrong, and you do not understand why a 1.5C rise is a big deal.
I am very sorry for what you went through.

I lived in the US for 6 years, and worked at above average tech company and had excellent healthcare benefits through employer. I must admit it blinds people to say "country's messed up healthcare system is not my problem" because my employer took care of it :-(

Before my move to Europe, I risked living in the US for a month without health Insurance, and I was very anxious about it. I can't imagine what most Americans who don't have that luxury of employer benefits feel daily.

It's silly to think that the richest country on earth by far does not have a decent healthcare system that covers all of its citizens.
I guess now that the pandemic is almost over we’re back to the previous apocalypse.
You might be right, there was not stopping Redhat from effectively killing CentOS anymore.

I still don’t want to build anything new on an distro that have still to prove they can maintain the project for two or three release.
1.5C = 2.7F. It's a large amount to change by when you're talking about global average temperature.
The IPCC has an executive summary of the possible impact of a 1.5C temperature rise: https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/

This goes far beyond how comfortable the weather is when you step outside.
> This surprised me. Didn't V8 have a 'fast JIT' alongside an optimizing JIT as early as 2013? It was called full-codegen.

Did you see the image at the bottom of the design document? That explains it.
The people who will be hit the hardest are, unsurprisingly, the world's poorest. Particularly people in rural areas of Africa and India who can't afford having a bad growing season.
But I think it's a poorly written book. Ignoring the issues with it like that the appendixes have to found online even after buying the book (i.e. not on the website), it simply doesn't teach very effectively
This. I was also surprised to learn a lot (most?) "Institutes" at universities were just a website and a bank account. The host institution handles most of the overhead like buildings and HR for a ~30% take. I don't mean this in a negative way, it actually makes sense.
I must be the only one in the world who thinks that climate change, despite being a big issue, will be resolved if it ever harms (rich) humans in any meaningful way.

I think once the rubber meets the road we'll resolve and completely reverse climate change. That being said I might be too confident in our species' engineering ability.
1.5 degrees C is 2.7 degrees F - the only thing you missed is that this is a difference, not an absolute temperature. Suppose C to F is 1.8*c+32=f. Take two values for c, x and y. Then:

(1.8x+32)-(1.8y+32)=1.8(x-y)
Is it production ready yet? From what I could gather it seems still pretty experimental. But I guess GitHub adopting it would cement the standard a bit.

Ask them about thawing permafrost. It is so unstable that it won't be possible to build any infrastructure on it till it completely settles.
Pretty sure how this works is if the global ave temp is 12.5C, then the temp they are talking about would be 14.0C.

Well, the google calculator says it's: (1.5°C × 9/5) + 32 = 34.7°F
There is no "U.S. experience" because of the absolute mess of our healthcare system. There are birthing centers that work very much like the process described above.
The IPCC has a summary of the possible impact of a 1.5C temperature rise: https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/

It's not a simple matter of the weather being warmer when you step outside every day. This is a relatively rapid change in global temperature on an archaeological scale, and the downstream consequences could be significant.
An outside temperature of 1.5c is 34.7f. an increase of 1.5c would take the temperature to 3c or 37.4f

Every 1c you increase is equivalent to 1.8f
> ~10W Controller. Doesn't matter on a Desktop or Server.

Of course it does. For one, that's heat you have to efficiently remove or face SSD throttling back on you or degrade over time. It does not make sense to buy expensive hardware if it is going to show impaired performance due to thermal throttling.

This makes the business of putting together your PC this much more complicated, because up until recently you only had to take care about CPU and GPU and everything else was mostly afterthought.

We are already facing motherboards with their own fans, now I suppose it is time for SSDs.
What if the founders are located in different countries?
No chance. Once the most cloistered people in our world are materially impacted, it will be far too late to mount any kind of response. It might already be too late.
So the wonderful thing about social media is we're back to having citizen reporters. News and information isn't just what CNN and Fox tells us what is news, it's now done the way it was originally envisioned: by citizens. This has given us insights into things like which companies are shady, the widespread practice police brutalization, and many other things.

Removing section 230 will remove that platform and return us to the CNN and Fox being the gatekeepers of information I'm afraid.

The better answer is to disallow social media companies to consolidate and monopolize. We already have the laws on the books.
>will be resolved if it ever harms (rich) humans in any meaningful way.

I think you're not thinking critically enough on who it will be solved for.
Buried in the last paragraph: “The chance of temporarily reaching 1.5°C has roughly doubled compared to last year’s predictions, said WMO. This is mainly due to using an improved temperature dataset to estimate the baseline rather than sudden changes in climate indicators.”
Please show citations of that then, of mainstream media doing the: slander, censor and humiliate, instead of just reporting one side or the other as usual.

Heck, US has a mature president now even acknowledging there are two major competing hypotheses. Seeing leaders embracing uncertainty is rare, so it seems humanity is going through a learning phase right now, having to face up to uncertainty and fear.
Don't forget there can be papers recognised universally as acceptable.

From memory, it was 25% rejected by both PCs, 15% accepted by both PCs, and the middle 60% random.
I think that was way farther off and 1.5 was also expected to be way farther off as well. Five years is a bit of a surprise.

Like what? The company I work for has business logic, numerical code, a functional DSL, bindings to just about everything needed, fast and introspectable because they are under the same language.

Which features do you recommend we deprecate?
Ha :) This is something that's also been drilled into me mostly just because I've gotten bitten by it in jobs/projects. The most recent instance I ran into was a `findAllDependents` method turning into `findPartialDependentsList`, but the name never getting updated.

Led to a non-obvious bug because from a high level, the code all looked fine, and it was only digging into the dependents code that revealed that not everything was getting returned anymore.
One interesting point from there (regarding their old FullCodeGen original JIT compiler):

> Isn’t this just FullCodeGen?

> Kind of! It’s FullCodeGen for modern V8, and that’s not such a bad thing. This brings the performance benefits of FCG back to V8, but
Seems like this relies on tons of big assumptions. Like that climate change will negatively impact rich people in power in a reasonable timeline.

Rich people may even benefit from climate change in the short term, since during an economic downturn they can move their assets around, take risks, buy cheaper labor, etc, while everyone else is scrambling.
Czechoslovak political emigrants quite often moved far away from the Iron Curtain (e.g. from Munich, Vienna to Britain, Canada, Australia) "just in case".

StB (the secret police, a Czechoslovak equivalent of the better-known Stasi) definitely had capabilities to abduct someone, but the longer the way back, the more complicated the task was. They probably would not bother snatching you in Sydney. Vienna was tempting, though.

This ad reminds me of the old story about how Joe Kennedy knew it was time to get out of the market in 1929 when his shoe-shiner started giving him stock tips. In a way, I think this ad might be evidence of the exact opposite thing it is saying.
It's "watershed" because that was the number chosen at Paris. There's nothing scientifically significant about 1.5 or 2.0. They're just numbers that sit along the continuous path from here to whatever hellscape sits at the bottom of this human-created extinction event we've set into motion. I guess the people at Paris were all very optimistic and thought humanity could actually do something to avoid hitting 1.5. They were wrong.
do you think crypto mining at scale is acceptable if the power sources are solar and wind? if people were really concerned about the environmental impact, the miners would be turned OFF.
Why confuse the issue with a comment about masks?

The point here is REAL information was censored effectively killing the conversation for nearly a year.

We should all be concerned when a corporation has the power to determine 'truth' with this outsized impact.

This is an incredibly interesting question but I have no idea how you would ever be able to figure out the answer. What defines a data set? What about huge data sets that reference back to a relatively small mapping table, is that one big data set or two data sets of different size? Maybe a cloud hosting provider would have some insight into hosted data sets but even if the public had that information we still wouldn't know anything about data sets that are collected and stored on local machines. Similar problems arise for cataloguing models by their complexity. What is the broader question here, what are you trying to figure out?

There is definitely research being done on sparse data sets. Early stats methods were applied to what we would consider small data. Tukey did a lot of work on data viz and exploratory data analysis that was important and applies to small data sets. Many medical experiments use small data sets. Bayesian methods can apply to small data sets.
Not just equipment you have to enter. This is used in situations with "stored energy" or other systems that need to be turned off or otherwise disabled for safe maintenance. There are multi-lock hasps that can be used if multiple people have overlapping needs to lock out the system, and other devices such as valve handles covers, etc., that help with locking out components don't have a built-in place for a lock.
Reminds me of this story which had a great documentary but extremely sad ending of 7 young people trying to flee communist Georgia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot_Flight_6833

Here is the documentary by a local Georgian director that stuck in my head for a long time:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0818087/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUkluq8oPvY

These were kids of the Georgian intelligentsia, including trained doctors, painters, and an actor, doing something naive and stupid (hijacking a plane to go to the nearest capitalist country). It turned out even the pilots were armed, shot at them, and turned the flight right back to Georgia.

The head of local KGB then got Georgian soldiers to shoot up the plane "so it wouldn't leave", killing the pilots "by accident" and injuring innocent passengers. The plane was then raided by Soviet Alpha group (basically their US Delta Force).

The communist leader of Georgia at the time wanted to make an example of them and gave death sentences, even despite their ages, except of course the one girl got 15yrs. The parents didn't find out they were executed by the state for five years (nor did the media obviously).

The desire to leave the Iron Curtain countries lead to some crazy stories and near suicidal attempts. And these stories were quickly forgotten.
Sounds like a nice change - I wonder how farms will benefit from less cold weather?

The article mentions that 1.5°C was the attainable target and 2°C was the hard limit. At this rate we'll blow through them both.

> The 1.5°C mark was established as the desirable target for all the countries of the world who signed up to the Paris Agreement to limit temperature rises, in order to prevent permanent changes that threaten the wellbeing of all life on earth. The agreement calls for limiting rises to 2°C or below.
To elaborate a bit, your calculation is wrong because 0°F is not 0°C. That makes arithmetic really weird when mixing units. 0°C is 32°F, so 34.7°F is actually only 2.7°F more.

I think this is the only common case of units using a different zero point.
thanks foe the reply and i understand your sentiment. i think what will happen is that people will start advocating for more and more syntax changes.
think of => in js instead of function.
a minor tweak but with HUGE impact. probably much more than const/let etc.
and eventually more and more of this will change the language.

but i hope i am wrong. :-)

in general i get your point amd agree with it. i have written large go codebases and ran into exactly the same issues. but i wouldn't agree to the trade off :-)

so let's clarify a few things.
All the things you described that suck (e.g. preauth, drug renewal, etc) are made to suck, on purpose, by ... drumroll ... you insurance company which, believe it or not is usually a for profit entity (USA USA USA) and therefore is incentivized to take your money and not pay any out in premium. Paying for your care to them is a loss, and what they do is try to minimize loss ratio. (remember obamacare loss-ratio cap checks from eon ago?). So how does, a for profit company that you paid premiums to ration your healthcare to minimize loss ratio: by creating the most arcane, convoluted, confusing and inefficient process standing between you and your care provider. This is not a bug with front desk, this is a feature of your for-profit insurance.
The flip side of the coin are of course all the STEMI docs, who show up there just to perform a dangerous and provably useless medical procedure day in and day out, because profit:)

I think you misunderstand. 1.5C does not mean temperature everywhere is just going to rise by 1.5C.

This means altering of global and local weather patterns with unpredictable consequences. Some places will get much colder, some will get much hotter. Some places will dry out. Some places will see more tornadoes and flooding.

And some will get both hotter and more humid causing them to be absolutely uninhabitable, because of combination of 100% humidity and over 35 degrees C is basically lethal.

So if you think this is just a "thing", and "what's the fuss, you are going to have more sunshine", you obviously don't understand what the problem is.
US officials have been playing very loose with the truth about these things.

>U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams even told Americans in a late February tweet that they need to “STOP BUYING MASKS! They are NOT effective in preventing general public from catching coronavirus, but if healthcare providers can’t get them to care for sick patients, it puts them and our communities at risk!”

As time went on, the tone changed, and Americans were encouraged to wear face masks, with many places requiring them.

Now Fauci has admitted that the reason Americans were initially discouraged from using them is because there was a shortage, as Adams acknowledged in the second part of his February tweet.

“We were concerned the public health community, and many people were saying this, were concerned that it was at a time when personal protective equipment, including the N95 masks and the surgical masks, were in very short supply,” Fauci told The Street. "We wanted to make sure the people, namely, the healthcare workers, who were brave enough to put themselves in harm's way to take care of people who you know were infected with coronavirus, and the danger of them getting infected. We did not want them to be without the equipment they needed."
