Weather or climate? Weather is incidental. In terms of climate, further increases for decades are locked in from past emissions we can't change.

For the present, at each moment, we can choose to contribute to further suffering or not. As you mentioned, it's becoming life-threatening.

Exactly two things work: reducing our consumption and reducing our birth rate. Mechai Viravaidya in Thailand showed how to reduce birth rate in the opposite of China's One Child policy or eugenics -- that is, voluntary, noncoercive, even fun -- as did Costa Rica, Iran, and several other countries. Most Americans can improve their quality of life by lowering consumption. I reduced mine over 90% with just life improvements. I estimate most Americans can reduce theirs 80% or more without sacrifice, just improvements. The most polluting can probably reduce theirs 99%.

Systemic change begins with personal transformation. Government and corporations will follow individual action, as they historically have. Personal transformation enables us to lead others. Leading others has the biggest effect because it multiplies.

To act here and now, the most important thing we can do is to learn leadership skills to lead ourselves and others.
My best friend and I watch hundreds of movies per year (about 1 every day) and we thought Fury Road was horrid as well. By contrast, Thunderdome, was a very smart film, as far as hollywood movies go.

I always thought that most shops could/should have been replaced by giant vending machines long ago. Just be sealed-off warehouses with multiple dispensing units on the public-facing side.

Maybe someone like Amazon will try something like that.
Sure. But I have a question: why? Why should we opt out of the telemetry? To me, this idea seems to not just be admitting defeat, it's ensuring defeat right from the start.

Telemetry should always be opt-in. Yes, that means vendors will get much less data. It's on them to deal with it.

On a related note, I wonder how long it takes until one of the vendors of popular CLI tools or desktop apps get fined for GDPR violation. I wonder how much of existing telemetry already crosses the "informed consent" requirement threshold. I'll definitely be filing a complaint if I find a tool that doesn't ask for it when, by law, it should.
I’ve tried Little Snitch, but was quickly annoyed at the high interaction required. Maybe I should give it another shot, especially since I use uMatrix on Firefox, which is a similar concept.
I looked into Bitwarden for work, but there's no password reset option for admins. I don't know how many times people have forgotten their password manager's password and I've had to reset it. Without that feature, Bitwarden is a non-starter for a corporate environment.

> That’s a shame, because it’s the most effective way to build your skills.

this is just not true. blocked practice (i.e. practicing the same task repeatedly) is generally worse for long-term retention than mixed practice strategies where you vary the practice conditions or interleave different tasks in practice

e.g. if you go through 100 problems of 2 digit multiplication, you will probably have worse retention than if you went through 10 of those problems, then 10 division problems, then 5 word problems, then 10 3 digit multiplication problems, and so on, equating practice time

drilling _feels_ like a really effective way to learn because you do better at it and quickly develop muscle memory or mental shortcuts, but your performance on practice tasks is really not a good signal of your actual learning or retention.

Ah yes, a four day "weekend."
I don't know either, but I expect the opposite. It seems incredibly efficient for what it does. I don't know how you could do the same thing with less energy? Obviously, it is possibe to optimize something here and there, but if we compare with humans doing the same job, and the energy they would need, this must surely be less...?
I wouldn't do that. But give me a single piece of proof that his phone number is 4channel. The fact is people are searching for his number, but it's nowhere to be found.
The STL did a bunch of work to move away from rand() to mt19937. Like deprecating std::random_shuffle in C++ 14.

But good to note that mt19937 is still not cryptographically secure.
Well, I totally agree with you! My whole point was to offer an alternative that makes this implementation easier and offers some nice extras (while sacrificing free choice of syntax). :)
I'm reminded of the fable (in Nick Bostrom's Superintelligence) of the chess computer that ended up murdering anyone who tried to turn it off because in order to optimize winning chess games as programmed it has to be on and functional.
I think it’s gotten worse, especially after GamerGate led to people tasting political power, but I think “reserved” was never completely true - even in the 2000s it had the same reputation for leaking unpleasantly. Mobs are simply volatile.
I agree with your point on the usage of the word "bad", this is what the term "relative" that I used implied, as well as the explaination of which specific aspect I think it applies to.

I am not sure why you are trying to make fun of me:

Permissive licenses ensure that the first generation of users/developers benefit from the code in question being free, and then allow restrictions. Licenses along the lines of the GPL make sure software stays free even after generations of copies. The restriction in the GPL that sets it apart from, let's say, the BSD license, is that it doesn't allow further restrictions.

So the tree of descendants of an originally "permissively" licensed code contains potentially more restrictions, that the tree of descendants of originally GPL licensed code.

Quite possible that this makes the GPL the less successfull of the bunch.

That shares a similarity to the paradox of tolerance: To ensure a society stays tolerant, it has to be intolerant against it's intolerant subgroups. You can argue that a society should be so free that is does not do this, but that just diminishes tolerance in the long run, so of the two paradigms, paradoxically, the more tolerant society is the one with a specific intolerant rule against intolerant minorities.

This is, as you rightly noted, not how modern business models function.
the problem is that the majority of the internet users are clueless in general and they act as a mob.
one ill-minded person spewed utter lies against a project name and then the mob jumped along him to lynch the author and the maintainer.
those people don't have the decency to apologize or even try to restore what they destroyed. They only become louder and louder and ofc, try to make some money on top of it.
Statutory annual leave entitlement in the UK is 28 days pa by law. That’s the minimum that everybody working full time gets, regardless of the industry/role.

Last two tech companies I’ve worked at offer unlimited vacation. Which is a funny problem so to speak, as some of my colleagues make a good use of it and others don’t. I’ve used 36 days in 2020, mostly because there was a big push from the HR to make sure people take regular long breaks at least once per quarter (I’ve used only 21 in 2019).

Everybody also gets unlimited paid sick days. At my current company 3+ days require a proof from the Doc, otherwise no questions asked.

There’s also 8 days of bank holidays pa in the UK. These don’t have to be given as paid leave, but I’ve never heard of anyone in an office job to ever work on a bank holiday (unless they wanted to swap)

Depends on whether is a soft or hard fork. Do they just want to have a version that closely tracks upstream but removing/adding specific features or be an independent project? The former is more maintainable (see ungoogled-chromium, VSCodium, ...).

I define a bad actor here as software that makes non-consensual network connections.

Agree on the software installs, and the risks attached. Modern OSes sandbox software wrt IO permissions, IMO we should be doing that sandboxing at the network level too.

Disagree with you on the opt-in. It should be neither, the software vendor should be the one asking permission, either explicitly or as a prompt on a firewall.

If you are content with the genre of normal drama, without special effects or stunts or expensive sets or glamorous stars, then there's a wealth of good stuff out there, often made for TV rather than cinema. For instance, all the Inspector Morse episodes are essentially standalone films, and all of them have exceptional acting and writing and stories (usually adapted from the novels). Many great 'mini-series' also (like 4-6 hours total). Look up an actor like Brian Dennehy and notice all the films he made for television. No matter how jaded you get with cinema, I don't think you tire of a good story. (Often in cinema they seem to want to make films that are brilliant despite an uninteresting story.)

I wish there were better options for watching televised plays. Outside of Shakespeare, the options seem sadly limited.
have you ever seen an episode of it's always sunny in philadelphia? the show is regularly far more offensive than any line in airplane, and nobody cares.
At least one of the L4 implementations. IBM's K42. I think one of the windows kernels tried it once then reverted? Or did every single windows kernel use C too? Symbian really hit a wall taking Nokia down with it. The N95 was well established in the market before the iphone hit but they couldn't get the slow out. Blame it on C++, something else, whatever.

C++ is fine for systems code done tastefully. GDB, GCC, libc, java, go nuts! Kernel, not so much.

There's a few things going on. You have to agree on a subset of C++ which is a royal bloody pain in the backside at best. It's like a bracing style meeting where the issues actually matter. Some of this is decided for you, you can't have exceptions. Now you can't have operator overloading either. Now constructors are a bit of an issue to consider fairly deeply, "YOU'RE KIDDING YOU'RE SO WRONG I HATE YOU!" And I don't even know what you think about it yet! ;-) Now do that with thousands of contributors. Nasty. Google and Fuchsia? I think they've already got rid of most contributors with the CLA. https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-individual
I couldn't find an actual license and didn't feel like curling to bash to find out what's in the code. It's not surprise that most who try it have a microkernel based system. It is doable. It's been done! Criticising Linus for refusing to go that way seems a little naieve to me tbh. He can point at considerable success as a result of his fundamental approach. That may not be the end of it. But it clearly wasn't a disaster. Critics haven't managed to achieve the success the early days of linux yet as far as I'm aware.

C++ compilers have universally sucked incredibly hard until fairly recently when gcc and clang really lifted the standard. No the crooks at intel and the way they sabotaged their customers to make their competitors look bad do not count. They lost the right to be taken seriously at that point.

C++ for cross platform has been horrible until very recently. A = B + C + D; You know exactly what that does in C without thinking. C++ not so much. Having those extra layers of thought required between the reader and the machine is unpleasant for OS stuff.

C++ has its place. Many of its features are extremely useful and seductive. Many can be used tastefully in userspace to make better, stronger, more reliable code. The Kernel? I don't see it . You want to do dynamic dispatch in C. You can see exactly how that will work on the machine. Virtual functions. No, there's magic there. The implementation isn't guaranteed and can change.

There are simply more corner cases, gotchas, foot guns and nastiness where you really don't want it. Kernels are hard enough.

Compile time guarantees that you didn’t access memory you didn’t really “own”.

Dangling pointers are not a thing.

No double free.

Forces you to think up front about what are the possible state something could be in, and so you won’t get runtime or weird UB.

lastly, to be more pedantic for everyone who is at Linus-levels, it’s like all the best static analysis and warnings/errors all rolled up natively into the language. Please don’t bombard me with “but I can just run clang’s X and get the same thing”. No you can’t, and if you did this forces you to run it regardless.
Will Rust be better than C? The kernel uses a lot of non-local reasoning and global resources, when Rust handles them, a lot of its benefits might evaporate. I guess the main authors behind this change have a more optimistic vision of this, than me, though.
Yup. I, on the other hand, on 3 cups daily felt like a zombie. Then I quit cold turkey and after a week I felt better that any time in the previous months.

When I occasionally forget myself and ingest more than minimal dose of caffeine (one strong coffee is sufficient) I get dizzy, my sleep patterns immediately go out of whack and if I keep ingesting caffeine I get face muscle twiches and a sense that something very bad happens and I'm gonna probably die soon.

Meanwhile I love coffee and I drink up to six cups of decaf a day.

I also love earl gray tea but I have to indulge occasionally, and cheap energetics, but I have to dose them by half a glass and even that also only occasionally.
Surely newly arrived stock would go on the tail of a FIFO queue, while stock being sold would be drawn from the head?

So the minimum time from arrival to dispatch couldn't be less than the length of the queue?

Though the links on this site are now dead and incorrect for the repository on GitHub, it is good to see the author moved their repo to self-hosted Gitea (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/consoledonottrack.com). It would be hypocritical to be against tracking and then host one's code on Microsoft's GitHub. Even better they released a blog post in 2020 about why the repos were moved (https://sneak.berlin/20200307/the-case-against-microsoft-and...).

Why toxoplasomosis is getting trendy suddenly? I've just read another article on this that was trying to scare people, obviously without any merit [0]. Is some company creating vaccine for this and needs some marketing?

The first comment says "It may be a risk factor for schizophrenia, OCD, bipolar disorder and other mental health issues. The evidence seems inconclusive at this time. "

Yes, it can cause all those horrible things (I think that only autism is missing on the list), only there is no proof for that, but, nowadays, who cares if the story fits twitter size post and has a chance to get "viral".

The title is misleading. The research was not about vaccine but about monoclonal antibodies.
I didn't know it already existed. I'm working on something similar via a Github app which watch new commits made on master and offer to the commiter to upload its new .md files on the wiki.

As you said having the dev doc on an external tool is really a plus. You can have comments, you can add tags, easier to search, and give access to non technical people
The main benefit is that in Rust, use-after-free, data races, and bounds overflows are statically checked with zero runtime cost. It eliminates entire classes of common severe memory safety bugs at compile time.

This is very cool, I'd like to see more projects using libgccjit because it's much, MUCH nicer than the usual approach of building your frontend alongside GCC. I think it's the first step towards a modular GCC, which is an absolute necessity for it to stay relevant in an LLVM-dominated world.

As an open source software developer, I do have some sympathy for the upstream devs here, and some frustration with distro maintainer policies. I'm not interested in getting a bunch of bug reports for issues that were fixed 4 years ago, or introduced because Debian maintainers "patched out" something they shouldn't have.

To you the words “illegal” “tax evasion” and “fraudulent” all may be synonyms, to me they are not. The consequences are the only thing I care about, and there is no authority that could view those words as synonyms. The IRS nor any other part of the executive branch could view it as tax evasion or fraud, the courts could not either, and Congress made this product out of their own desperation. As Congress is still desperate for short term revenues its unlikely they would alter the Roth product.

You can sell shares at arbitrary discounts especially when there are not liquid markets. If stock options are more necessary to circumvent accounting then in the money options can be used as well, with the Roth purchasing the stock options instead of earning it and getting more money in future years to purchase the in the money stock.

No. They are only using C. They are not using anything else for "unknown" reasons.

You can write bloated Rust applications in pretty much the exact same ways you can write bloated C applications (generics, runtimes, macros, ...).

And you can write thin Rust applications in pretty much the same ways you can do so in any other language, including C.

Having Linux make the first move, then learn from their successes and mistakes to implement a better version in your own OS seems like a good move that profits everyone.
