While I like Solarpunk I feel it is missing something. It hasn't grabbed me. But I support the idea.

Regards the "punk" bit though, I think the subversion is in the projection of a positive looking alternative to cyberpunk. I am sure you've seen someone comment something like:"1984 was not an instruction manual." Solarpunk is trying to be a different recipe. To plant a different seed in peoples minds as to how things could go.

Even if it is just my modern day city but with trees, it is a helluva lot better than Megacity One.
Using it for maybe five years as my primary language for tools, simulators, testing embedded devices, games, etc. compared to common lisp, clojure, etc. it’s just less overhead for modules, packaging, compiling to executables...
I would love to move more into common lisp but it seems like 20 steps to create a binary in the foss world, and expensive to do so in the Allegro/LispWorks world. Happy to pay for dev tools, but paying to distribute your program? No thanks.
Can induction stoves just be set up in any kitchen that has electricity, or is there some kind of other "infrastructure" needed?
74% median decoding accuracy. Up-to 93% best performance.

Is 74% decoding accuracy good in a sentence of a very small length? do we know if the misses are at least semantically close or random?

It's very weird and suspicious to me that they mention the Up-To performance in the video, without any explanation or statistical quantification or context information. Sounds like they really wanna make this sound better than it is, in this video at least. (the info is likely in the paper)
Not if they do any sort of alignment (like structs in golang)
Yeah, you can definitely do it safely with the right gear and some planning. It’s both less risky on average and more tricky than most people think. Wouldn’t recommend drinking the water if you can avoid it though.

As far as the garbage. Hell if I know.

>You are forced to drink fast, or you end up having a flimsy straw that can't suck

At which point you just stop using the straw and drink normally.

The straw controversy was bizarre to me. I can't remember when I last used a straw and it's not often that I see them, aside from chain restaurants selling overpriced novelty drinks (e.g. starbucks).
Right and Left are basically ideologies carrying to the different ideas of society depending upon gender. On average for females a more redistributing, moderating society is more attractive. For men a society that allows them to display "provider" status seems more attractive. To frame the whole thing as a ideological debate, in a society with massive change of roles and influence is intellectual dishonest.

Some transcend these "stereotypes" and are for a more redistribution society based upon the insight that these transformations require a reform of policy. They are sadly in the minority - in both ideologies.
> k8 and spend a whole bunch of time on it.

I fully agree and no one said that you should do it. But these days there's so many abstraction layers that it's not nearly as complicated as it was 2 years ago. 2 years ago I wouldn't have even considered it, but now it might be on the table.

> from the get-go? Did you spend a whole bunch of time learning it or did someone else pay you?

Yup. Business SaaS product that had day and night use. No investment, no one paid me. Became "ramen profitable" year 2 but it's not much. I'm not interested in growing it any more for various reasons and right now it's just "side income".

> However this is the crux. You're most likely having someone else pay for hosting. You're probably getting someone else to pay for you to learn how to do XYZ. Most likely you're not even aware of how much this infra is costing the client.

Might be so but not in my case. I pay for everything and customers pay me a monthly fee depending on different params that aren't even very closely tied to how much it costs me.

> However the person who posted the question was a solo-founder trying to understand whether to learn Docker.

When I started, I was a solo founder too. Have you looked into caprover? I came across it recently and it looks really interesting. It uses docker internally but it seems to be a somewhat mature product and has so many nice bells and whistles. Best of all, very little time investment (or so they promise). If I was restarting today, I would look into that. It would help me run everything without relying on AWS/GCP and will end up being cheaper if everything works as advertised.
I recently heard that UK is including India also in the talent visa program.

In a sane world, that would be destruction of evidence. You shouldn’t be able to tell the court evidence exists and then destroy it before you let anyone else examine it.
> I'm less bothered by its little inconsistencies, like the empty list not needing to be quoted, than I used to be

CL certainly has its warts, but that is not one of them. Most data types other than pairs and symbols are self-evaluating. You don't quote number literals, for instance!

That the list terminator is not self-evaluating is definitely a scheme wart. (Sadly, I'm told that motions to change this behaviour in r7rs-large were rejected.)
Yep. I have a buddy who works at $BIG_US_RETAILER and he weekly has to go into the stock room with a box cutter and scissors to destroy unsold clothing.

I have also heard big box retailers (i.e. Best Buy) will destroy unsold items to discourage employees from purposefully hiding or down-selling things in the hope they can grab it for cheap or free.

Though a lot of places will unload these items to wholesalers or discount retailers, and some gets donated to clothing charities. It goes through a few steps first.
Nope. The one I share with people is first@last.com

Probably more just a function of my poor heuristics (or lack thereof), diffsitter does equality comparisons on tree sitter nodes, which can also cause weird stuff like this where text gets grouped together.

I'm redoing the diffing algo anyways, so I'll keep this in mind for the next go.

Edit: it's because I decided to split line-by-line a while back because I thought it would make the diffs easier to read (rather than squashing all of the tokens together, which is not very aesthetically pleasing), but also gives us unintuitive results like this.
TFA states:

> City carve-outs for gas cooking aren’t unreasonable, said Sara Baldwin, who works on electrifying the building sector at environmental policy firm Energy Innovation. But eventually, she believes that buildings will need to be fully electrified, including stovetops, to meet ambitious emissions-reduction goals, presenting an existential threat to the gas industry.

So it's not quite "blaming gas stoves for climate change". The claim is there's a need to transition away from gas stoves _as a consequence_ of getting rid of gas hookups (which are presumably mostly used for heat), which would have a noticeable impact on emissions.

Further driving that point home, the next sentence is:

> “The gas industry really wants to make the household stovetop a wedge issue and use that to animate people against electrification as a whole,” said Charlie Spatz, a researcher at the Climate Investigations Center, an environmental advocacy group.

So they know that a storm is brewing over gas stoves, because there's inherent resistance _and_ there's an large industry trying to use/abuse that fact in order to preserve their profits.

To me, the reason the article focuses on gas cooking instead of gas hookups in general is for that exact reason. Gas cooking has a small impact on climate change, but the claim is it's a necessary sacrifice to get rid of the bigger problem of gas hookups and distribution, and it seems like it'll be a tough sell for opinionated people who are being amplified by a large industry trying to extract as much profit as possible on the way out. It could have spent more time on that claim that it's a necessary sacrifice though.

Because the 'time and effort required to maintain my privacy' part requires immediate and sustained and rigorous action and sacrifice of various comforts, all for a nebulously perceived, personally theoretical risk.

The ultimate trajectory of liberal democracy is towards anarchism. But humans are anything but evolutionarily suited for that. We are biologically built to function in a hierarchy, even if the top of that hierarchy is tyrannical. This will take a long while to change. And enough efforts to educate are not being made. Not even close.

PS. Also wanted to add that the "maintain my privacy" part is still far too technical for anyone except diehard nerds, and even they confess it takes great effort and thought. The entire system has been taken over at all levels of the stack by commercial and political powers. The average Joe doesn't stand a chance unless he wants to go entirely off-grid.
All I know is that I stopped using gas burners, and switched to one of these instead.

The "rumor" is that gas burners are associated with autism, amongst other things.
Actually office space is not bad for residential retrofits.

Why?

For one, the heights of those floors are 10 plus feet.
You can easyliy hide the plumbing under the subfloor, and end up with 8 plus unit heights. I didn't know about the window requirement. That could be changed overnight. I would happily pay a few hundred less because of a lack of window.

Many old SF buildings used to be converted to residential apartments.

Now--it's more financially advantageous to demolish the building, and put up residential condos.

(Condos are not rent controlled.)

We need to get rid of the residential condo Rent Control exemption. Most people will never make enough to afford one, even you tech guys.

I worked on many luxury condo projects in SF. As union tradesman, we all knew we could never afford one. They are nice though.

If SF applied Rent Control to Condos, we might see more apartments being built?

(I don't want to get into a debate on Rent Control. It has helped out many dear friends over the years. SF only has so much land to build on before going farther into the bay.)

I would recommend using tree-sitter, it's probably easier not to reinvent the wheel, especially when parsing something like C++. It's also really fast
Or, more simply, is it an attempt at deceiving people into believing it’s the actual individual being impersonated?

Impersonating someone like Lincoln in a car commercial is one thing, but it’s another is someone presented an impersonation as their actual voice in a documentary.

It’s also complicated by the fact that the AI voice is trained on his likeness and dubious as if the reproduction is a new creation or something else. Similar to the debate about GitHub Copilot.
This is good and clever work, and I applaud the author for looking at a boring feature and seeing in it a potential attack vector that probably wouldn't have occurred to most people. Kudos! That said, I think the security implications are pretty minimal.

(FWIW, iOS and MacOS do the exact same thing, opening captive.apple.com and showing whatever it redirects to if you're on a captive portal network.)

This behavior does incur a security risk, but using public wifi networks is basically impossible without doing this check either automatically or manually, and most users would be completely bewildered if the OS did nothing to prompt them when they needed to click through a page to make the internet work.

Moreover, if you can MITM the network and they're not tunneling their connection, you have lots of great ways to send them hostile code already! You can use classic SSL stripping to just send them whatever you want! (Granted, a lot of traffic goes straight to HTTPS these days, and browsers are getting wiser about this with HSTS and things like the new automatic HTTPS upgrade in Safari).

If you're paranoid enough not to want to run untrusted javascript (fair enough), you shouldn't be connecting to weird public wifi networks anyway.
I've been stuck with an electric stove for the past 4 years. There's no way to ever get used to it, it simply sucks.
I thought this is about multi-threaded processing of batch jobs.
If you think that's bad, consider that many companies go out of their way to wantonly destroy perfectly serviceable hardware that they produce and/or distribute every day as a matter of routine, all in an effort to mitigate storage costs and, in some cases, artificially prop up demand.

Amazon[1] is probably the most prominent example of this practice when it comes to hardware, but the routine destruction of unsold products remains common across industries, especially the food industry[2][3][4].

I, too, felt ill watching that video, and I felt ill reading these articles. But how do we fix this? How do we avoid letting so much production go to waste, especially when there are still so many people around the world who could really benefit from it? Is it the product of greed, or is it merely a hard-to-solve supply chain problem?

There was a technical glitch involving the URL I gave, which caused much of the format misery, and by the time I noticed, it was too late for me edit the post to change that. So I got to sit all day Saturday as the complaints rolled in, helpless. Live and learn!
> This excessive detail seems nutty to me, and ultimately counterproductive. It's counterproductive in that it reduces the amount of things that can be preserved. What's more important - audio detail that cannot be heard, or more records?

The guy was working in a pretty important national archive, on what sounds like are rare or one-of a kind artifacts. Archives aren't just about preservation, but preservation in a way that allows research to be performed. Research will likely need high quality copies of good provenience, and all the record-keeping could help explain some phenomenon that was introduced during the digitization process.

So, if they just did a quick an dirty rip of as much stuff as they could, they could probably "preserve" more, but that data might be useless to some future research project after the original has degraded into uselessness.

And in any case, my bet is most well-preserved physical objects (at least paper ones) will long outlast any digital copies that are made today.
I wonder if you could run plumbing through, then a secondary floor just above it so that the apartment floors are a foot above where the office space floor would have been.

But the natural light is the biggest issue if you ask me. I would never buy an apartment without morning winter sun shining into every main living area. (North here in Australia)
I read that abstract twice and still can't parse it, but the 30% number comes from the noaa.gov website quote:

"A new study published in the April 6 edition of the journal Nature concludes that as emissions of carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels have increased since the start of the 20th century, plants around the world are utilizing 30 percent more carbon dioxide (CO2), spurring plant growth."

...by the way perhaps not more than we thought (dunno?), but more than the 19th century.

Lots of networks blocks VoLTE on the network end if the device is not on their whitelist. Both two of my Xiaomi phones fails to get VoLTE on both networks in my country that offers it. Mea while my S21 has no trouble since it is whitelisted with the same two networks that refuse to provide VoLTE to the Xiaomis. Sadly it's a case of making sure you have (1) a VoLTE capable network, (2) a VoLTE capable phone and most importantly (3) a network that whitelists your phone. One network in my country started out only whitelisting only the specific phones they sold (and rejecting phones sold elsewhere even if it's the exact same model, firmware, etc) but I believe they have since loosened up by accepting phones sold by others as long as it's the same model as what they sell themselves. It's a absolute mess and to be honest the only reliable choices are Apple and the last few generations of Samsung phones (as that's what all carriers here sell) but if you stray to other brands it's very hit and miss whether your carrier will support it and worse whether you have the choice of changing carriers to another that also supports your phone. Makes me pine for the good old days of GSM.
> It has a lot of names which are in the pro current establishment camp.

Ah, that's incorrect. The first article released yesterday released names of 40 Indian journalists. I see a few pro Modi names there. https://thewire.in/media/pegasus-project-spyware-indian-jour...

As far what's to come:
"The numbers of those in the database include over 40 journalists, three major opposition figures, one constitutional authority, two serving ministers in the Narendra Modi government, current and former heads and officials of security organisations and scores of businesspersons."[1]

These will be released in further articles of the series "Project Pegasus"

There is a bit of a risk of new bugs that Rust doesn't catch, but if your development process is at least modestly competent you'll have a large suite of automated tests for the bugs you found in the previous iteration of the software, which you can reapply to the new Rust code.

I guess our difference is opinion is when you want to invest your time learning at least the semi scalable infrastructure. It doesn't have to be docker, could even just be ansible. Or cop out like me and use App Engine/Beanstalk.

I believe the initial time investment is worth it because if the project is even a little successful, I never even have to think about infrastructure. To me that's important because I hate spending time on it. I'd rather do customer discovery or feature building. And now that I know how to set it up, I can set up entire new projects extremely fast, and reliably. It's a life skill that I had to learn at some point (as an engineer) and I just did it earlier. SSHing into the machine and doing a git pull every time I deploy, and SSHing into the machine to make every minor environment change over time will drive me crazy as I'm iterating through the product. Isn't that the case for you? Currently one command takes care of everything. I just need to focus on business.

To add to this, the strong infrastructure definitely "delighted" my customers. I would fix bugs in minutes because of the quick deploys/setups and nothing ever went down. Some automatically assumed I had this whole team behind me and I kinda went with it for more $$ lol.
> If I'm not mistaken California has made it law that your HOA simply cannot stop you from having solar if you want it.

While the protections have been extended and clarified by subsequent legislation, its worth noting that this policy (the Solar Rights Act) was adopted in 1978 in California.

Rent control doesn’t apply if the condo is never rented. Rent control just makes it less likely they will be rented out at all, the market will always go where the money is.
It’s usually commercial space with attached lab space and all the infrastructure.

Lab space has been at a premium for a decade now. Most of the new buildings in SSF are all lab space and it goes fast.
