It was the same here in NL. I'm thinking of doubling the solar panels and getting airco - at least then the environmental cost is relatively low.
Infinite scroll pages are the worst with this..

You scroll and scroll, and scroll, and every time you reach some level "down", another section is loaded, then at one moment it stops. Something somewhere fails, no more new sections, no way to continue from that point, only a full refresh and a huge scroll down.
Yeah, that one's heavily dependent on what one does. Software availability rules all, for that choice, and one only really has a choice if some certain minimum level of that is met by more than one OS. If I were developing deep server-side VM tools, or drivings, or what have you, I might find using a Linux or BSD workstation well worth the hassle. Embedded dev, macOS probably isn't a realistic choice, and maybe not even anything other than Windows, depending on hardware vendor support.

But when I write or compose documents, I don't need MS Office interop, and it'd probably be my 3rd or 4th choice of "suite" for that kind of thing, behind the Apple's versions (mostly because they have great default templates, are very stable, are fairly easy to use, and are very light on system resources), Abiword/Gnumeric and other pieced-together open source options, and maybe LibreOffice in 3rd place. But, if I had to pass around Office documents, that'd be another story.

Probably my main pain-point on Mac, as far as work-stuff goes, are under-developed virtualization tools. They have a hypervisor, but it's a pain to use and there's almost no community around it. No simple way to pick an earlier version of macOS and virtualize it, even. VirtualBox is... OK. Barely. 3rd party commercial options improve the situation a ton, but you get much better tools out-of-the-box on basically every other at-least-semi-viable workstation OS.
In Germany we used to have unbearably hot weather for maybe a week a year. You just suffered through it, coping with going to the swimming pool or going to the ice cream parlour. All very social activities.

Now we are slowly getting used to the new reality of hot weather for weeks or months each year, and getting air conditioning is something many people think about (but most still put off because electricity is expensive).

I think in general warm weather is conductive to social activities (just look at Southern Italy vs Norway, or basically any place in Northern Europe vs any place in Southern Europe), but air conditioning drives people to just stay at home. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
re MMT: exactly my initial thought.

Poked around a bit more.

1 ton of carbon bricks ~= 100 gallons, about the size of a nice fish tank.

5.5 billion tons of carbon ~= Mt Everest. That's a lot of bricks.

We add ~25 gigatons of carbon into air yearly. ~28 Mt Everests.

Scale is staggering.

We'll probably have to drop the bricks into the ocean.

Or maybe use all those bricks to build sea walls to protect our coasts.

FWIW, I've always assumed we'd pump carbon back into the ground. I'm liking the idea of making bricks.

Back in 2009 i took a £10k pay cut as my deal to work from home.
That was easy math back then, not only was i reclaiming 4 hours of my life...but the train season ticket was £6k which at that tax bracket made it £10k.
I'd wager people in similar positions could do such a thing to sweeten the deal if needed
That would be an intentional collision. An unintentional collision remains unlikely for a cryptographic hash.
There have also been experiments run on split brain patients that suggest our idea of self is a reactionary rationalisation based on what the rest of our brain is doing.

For example - asking, whispered into one ear, a person to get a drink from a vending machine because I, the experimenter, wanted to take it home with me to drink later. Then when the subject returns, asking, whispered into the other ear, why they got the drink, to which they reply "because I was thirsty"

I'm completely unqualified to offer anything. The last time I tried React was four years ago, I've never used Svelte, and I'm currently using Vue 2. Vue 3 supposedly fixed a lot of the most surprising/annoying things about Vue 2.

But I'll say this. Thank goodness I don't consider myself a frontend dev.

The selling point of Vue was that it's supposed to be less of a learning curve compared to React. It's "closer" to regular HTML and JS. Except it's not really. You still should not mutate component "properties". If you ask anyone any question about anything, the answer is "use Vuex"- even if it has nothing to do with what you're trying to accomplish. There is definitely a learning curve around its reactivity model (this has supposedly improved with version 3). And I found some stuff just awkward, e.g., Vue components have lifecycle hooks that "support" async/Promises, but the lifecycle doesn't await the Promises, so I had some initialization that had race conditions and I didn't realize why/how.

I don't know if that's good or not, honestly. I just know that Vue2 has certainly not made me enjoy frontend work any more than I did before (which wasn't much).

You're not understanding. The commuting miles saved by working from home is not going to be a cross section of the commuting population and the bits that are over-represented are going to be the white collar employees who skew toward more efficient vehicles so you have to pad the fuel economy or carbon estimates to reflect that.
You’re missing the threshold that is part of this system. You would need multiple hash collisions across multiple photos to trigger these mechanisms.

In some ways, yes, correct. In ways that are important, though, no.
Standard SMS plans usually have a human-typing-in-a-keyboard rate limit, around a handful per minute - you can manually try this, I've got blocked a couple of times by spamming a friend with "a", "b", "c"...

Were I work, we've implemented a couple of nation-wide general population surveys regarding non-communicable diseases (working with those countries health authorities, of course). For the actual surveys, we get SMPP contracts with the local telcos because of this limit (and to get a vanity shortcode, reverse billing...).

We started thinking it would also be cheaper, too (due to the scale pricing) - but the human time required for working out contracts with developing-world telcos for a project involving state actors can easily counter that.

The throttling is something we need to take into account for the tiny-scale pre-tests we ran (while working out the contract) using an SMS Gateway App[0] we've built, similar to the one from this thread. The main difference is ours uses a queue-based protocol to exchange messages with a controlling server.

Though a lot of the space inside is still leased out to external tenants, so space used for Google employees does have the opportunity cost that you're not instead earning rent on it.

Google doesn't really want to be a landlord though -- other than the retail first floor of Chelsea Market, I think the long-term goal is to get the rest of the tenants out. The landlording is already contracted out anyway.

Is that really the bottleneck? I've done quite a lot of profiling on high performance code and I've almost never hit a bottleneck in the instruction cache. Data access bottlenecks or branching hit performance harder and sooner than instruction fetching.

Of course! But there are some tendencies, or else OP's comment wouldn't have made sense even in the context of the US.

My first few times in the US were in NYC, where I found a way of life that is very close to what I know as a Parisian. Imagine my surprise discovering basically any other city in the US.

You might not be part of that population, but the US problem goes way beyond a problem of perception, and there are numbers to confirm it.
Why did you post it?
I did this. Bought a Motorola RAZR on eBay, plugged into a FreeBSD box and called it a GSM modem. Since we were monitoring if the network was down among other things, the pages would go out through the "GSM modem" since the fiber connection couldn't be relied on to be up. Paid like $10/month for a text-only phone plan. Worked great. The USB connection to the FreeBSD server keep the "GSM modem" continuously charged as well.
If you try sending many SMS really quick, maybe the 5th or 6th you send in a minute will get blocked by the telco instead of being delivered.

Obviously the Vue ecosystem is much larger but other than that, personally, I much prefer Svelte.

I used Vue 2 as my main framework for some years, and still maintain a couple of projects with it.

I'm now focused on Svelte. The performance is better, the bundle sizes are much smaller, and most importantly you write a fraction of the code to achieve the same thing.

Svelte also has a reactive primitive (they call them stores) which allows you to model pretty much anything with reactivity similar to what you'd do with MobX but with a fraction of the cost. I believe Vue 3 also has this now but uses Proxy which is not supported in older browsers.

Hello! If I may, some (hopefully constructive) criticism:

- I skimmed the article, and I honestly am not sure who the customer is. AWS customers I suppose? It would be nice to have a quick "TL;DR" section so I can quickly tell if I am the right customer. (I'm also not an AWS customer, so maybe I just don't understand the jargon).

- A big pet peeve of mine when reading security related things is not seeing security assumptions. It would be nice to understand what your infrastructure does and does not protect against.
I believe the legal theory is that your employment and pay are compensation for agreeing to those terms, in terms of making it legally binding (offer, acceptance, and compensation)

It's crummy and it's my opinion that non-competes should either be illegal everywhere or require employers to continue paying your salary during that period.

But the laws as they stand broadly favor employers in this matter, and the reality of a large well-resourced corporation with a stable of lawyers makes it difficult for employees to fight even in situations where they are in the right.

No, someone can still attack you by creating an iCloud account and pushing cp. There is no way to mitigate such an attack after purchasing an apple device as far as I can tell. And, apple pretends their devices are secure so they have incentive to not discover compromised devices (as if they could) even though it’s clearly a problem with Pegasus and probably many other non-consumer grade exploits. I think the only answer is a phone that cannot back up to the cloud at all. Which is what I suppose I have to shop for now. Hopefully this attack hits some senator or apple exec first. I don’t want to backup my phone, and at this point I don’t want a camera or location services. I want security which apple no longer offers.
Bizarre. Where I am math and English remain king and queen of getting-on-the-schedule. Being "tested subjects" from very early grades, is the main reason. They've all but eliminated recess in elementary, and have reduced hours for things like art & music, to make sure they have plenty of time for them, since school prestige and funding rely heavily on testing well just in those two subjects.
It's going to vary entirely depending on your dwelling type. But that's a red herring I think. We need to make homes energy efficient anyway (regardless where people work) and once you've insulated/moved to more efficient heating/cooling then the cost of keeping your dwelling running for the hours you're personally out should be pretty low. Not to mention however many households have to be kept warm/cool because there are other household members home.
The situation is a bit more complex than that. First, people don't live in the office, so even if you live closer to the workplace, you still spend a non-negligible amount of time preparing and getting there. It can easily amount to more than 30 minutes a day.

And secondly, an office job can be stressful, consuming, in a way that commuting isn't (if done by train or bicycle for instance). So i wouldn't put them all in the same box as time devoted to work.
Twin primes come to mind. Feels very similar in nature.

Overall, there might be a connection to complex systems and ontogenesis. Maybe our struggling with this is all down to some original sin in our perception. Some false axiom we all carry. Pathogenic, hereditary logic, which prevents us from seeing beyond the chaos. 3x+1 seems to capture the pleasing ordered imperfection of real living things, not artificial "organic" structures made by humans.

> I think I do prefer working with JSX versus using html templates.

I thought I'd prefer JSX too, but I've come to much prefer Vue templates. Turns out that, while it's nice to have the "direct" control, I prefer seeing a full context that the template gives you, rather than having a lot of broken up parts, like JSX.

That said, it is slightly easier to refactor stuff in JSX.

You’re no better than someone on the other side of the globe who will have lower living expenses. If your employer doesn’t see value in having you on site, location is meaningless.

> but IMHO not when the idea is to benchmark against a level of achievement.

Yeah but the level of achievement required for starting university education has steadily dropped, and university enrollment has risen as a result.

I once read an article that claimed to have done the math for this, on math. It claimed that the absolute top grade in 1976 in high school math would have been insufficient to have gotten you into university just 15 years earlier. I believe they assumed you answered all the questions asked correctly and would leave any more advanced questions blank.
