Hi, this is an idea I have been working on the past couple of months (since the beginning of the pandemic). The whole premise of the app is for you to leave a LifeBit (video, text, image) in a geolocation for others to retrieve it. Think about it as a "Pokemon Go" of yourself.

Bits can be locked and unlocked.

When locked, the person you share the LifeBit with (you can share with everyone in the globe) can see its content only when at the same location (the app serve as your key).

When unlocked, the content can be seen from anywhere.

There are 2-3 ideas to further develop this but I'd love to hear your opinions about it before I implement them.

1) restrict the app to have only "locked bits", as such, it would be fundamentally different than what is out there.
2) build a "treasure hunt" type of itinerary where one bit leads to the other. These bits could be locked or unlocked
3) build a personal itinerary app where you can leave tips behind inside LifeBis for your friends or other people. E.g.: "My perfect day in Paris"

It's an MVP and I'd love to hear your thoughts about it.

Cheers,
Rodrigo

This seems like more of a commentary on responsive design than on grid based layouts. There's a big difference between designing for print/for the web, and a really good designer will be able to give you a grid layout that performs well between breakpoints.
Quite frankly, that is why democracy will fail us. Most Americans will do just about anything to avoid their income falling for 10-20 years but do just about nothing to avoid the global climate from torpedoing the world's biomes, food production systems, weather patterns, coastlines and coastal cities, decimating species diversity, etc. over 10-100 years.

We could be saved by technological or business breakthrough from an individual, or we could be saved by authoritarianism, but the preference you just described is why we're probably fucked if we hope for a political solution in western democracies (at least the US).

In one of the of the organisations I mentioned, they had a strict policy against using any GPL dependencies, let alone the AGPL. I tried discussing this with the legal policy person but they were quite resolute - they feared it’s use could “infect” our code and therefore must be avoided.

I frankly doubt there’s any sort of cost-benefit analysis being done here. Certainly in my experience it was much more driven by legal uncertainty and risk-aversion.

Do you think that's a viable solution? When the market fails to deliver what consumers and voters want, to ignore what caused or allowed that failure, because "nothing's stopping you"*? And when the new competitor abandons their idealism (or gets bought out) and decides they too will increase profit by sabotaging their machines?

Arch I'm sure is a great choice when someone else (Valve, in this case) is configuring and administrating it for you.

When you're doing it yourself, every Arch user seems to have a list of things which "aren't working today".

I've been using openSUSE Tumbleweed for a while, which has all the advantages of a rolling distribution like Arch (and their repo is enormous), but also comes with Yast, their frankly amazing graphical administration tool which handles everything.

It doesn't seem that common, at least in the USA, but I recommend it.

I recently started working on a single-board Z80-based computer, running CP/M. I wrote a couple of simple programs in Z80 assembly, including a text-based adventure game, and other utilities.

It was so cool to be able to run the Aztec compiler in-situ, on the computer itself, and I'm glad the official sources have been preserved.

There are a lot of online archives of random .zip files for CP/M, but few are as well documented as the Aztec collection.
I see the "/s", but the parent has a stealth point: presumably these emissions data are padded to look better (ie, less polluting) than they actually are. If VW could do it, China certainly could.

...I see happy downvotes, but I don't really see why. Don't we have very very recent evidence of Chinese provincial governments fucking around with official numbers in the form of 2019-2020 COVID stats? Don't we have recent evidence of Chinese interests ignoring agreed-upon international standards in the form of CFC emissions of the sort that everybody else managed to get out of their economic systems 30 years ago?

I hope that there will be a transparency report for how many reports happened and how many were found to be false positives.

Regarding China, the answer is probably “nothing”, but the system as it exists is not amenable to what I imagine their goals would be: only monitors the photo library (not messages) and requires a certain threshold of matches. The question is, I think, what today prevents China from requiring devices to attempt to match a database of pictures with a mandated match algorithm and a mandated reporting server. I believe (admittedly without any knowledge of the matter) that the same standard would apply to both.

I can't help but read this and feel that you're deliberately leaving out the per-capita emissions of Americans vs. Chinese in favor of relative changes from 1973.

China emits 8.12 tons of CO2 per-person[1].

The US emits 15.52 tons of CO2 per-person[2].

The US is the "unfair" emitter here. That said, the true "fair" emissions that an individual can have would be roughly 1.61 tons.

If you are referring to the chart titled China: Consumption-based accounting, that chart doesn't account for C02 attributable to the products Chinese manufacturers export.

It merely adjusts Chinese domestic C02 emissions by adding imported emissions that are encapsulated in imported goods.

The term "Consumption" as used for the chart does not mean Chinese domestic consumption, but rather describes all C02 emitted domestically, including in the manufacturing of goods destined for export.

Shoes Men Should Own-Ajulu's Thoughts
Nice to see articles like this describing a company's incident response process and the positive approach to incident culture via gamedays (disclaimer: I'm a cofounder at Kintaba[1], an incident management startup).

Regarding gamedays specifically: I've found that many company leaders don't embrace them because culturally they're not really aligned to the idea that incidents and outages aren't 100% preventable.

It's a mistake to think of the incident management muscle as one you'd like exercised as little as possible when in reality it's something that should be in top form because doing so comes with all kinds of downstream values for the company (a positive culture towards resiliency, openness, team building, honesty about technical risk, etc).

Sadly this can be a difficult mindset to break out of especially if you come from a company mired in "don't tell the exec unless it's so bad they'll find out themselves anyway."

Relatedly, the desire to drop the incident count to zero discourages recordkeeping of "near-miss" incidents, which generally deserve to have the same learning process (postmortem, followup action items, etc) associated with them as the outcomes of major incidents and game days.

Hopefully this outdated attitude continues to die off.

If you're just getting started with incident response or are interested in the space, I highly recommend:

- For basic practices: Google's SRE chapters on incident management [2]

- For the history of why we prepare for incidents and how we learn from them effectively: Sidney Dekker's Field Guide to Understanding Human Error [3]

Do people still regard CSS transform as a solid strategy to invoke GPU powered UI updates?
I disagree. Imagine everything that goes into the manufacture of an Apple M1 SoC. You have to get the raw materials, the design tools, the invention of the transistor, likely hundreds of thousands of hours, if not millions of hours, of engineering time to go from vacuum tubes, to transistors, to fab design, to computer science, to chip design, etc. Sure, if you isolate just the inventions along the path from the invention of fire to Apple selling their M1 based systems, it seems modest. But you can't just arbitrarily claim that X invention happened in the absence of the world in which it was invented.

Wrong. It does. Read the description, or their longer description here:

https://ourworldindata.org/consumption-based-co2

> To calculate consumption-based emissions we need to track which goods are traded across the world, and whenever a good was imported we need to include all CO2 emissions that were emitted in the production of that good, and vice versa to subtract all CO2 emissions that were emitted in the production of goods that were exported.
This is really interesting... I am suspicious of fossil fuel based hydrogen, but as electrolyzed hydrogen gets cheaper, this could be very useful for some applications.
> US emissions are declining per capita

Because we have continually outsourced our emissions to China while still reaping the financial benefits of expoiting resources in those countries. I know there are studies that try to account for this but they still fail to look at the bigger picture of resources we have outsourced.

Cheap and large scale manufacturing in China has meant enormous benefits for the US economy. We see a decoupling of GDP and energy because we are playing tricks with accounting.

> We really do have the opportunity to change our behavior and keep a planet that is as welcoming to us as it is today.

First we are absolutely locked into increasing global warming from emissions, so we have without question given up on a planet as welcoming as today.

We do have an opportunity to change our behavior, I have repeatedly said that, but that means actually reducing fossil fuel usage, globally and immediately.

As I have said, the US can reduce global emissions because we have seen the US do this twice: April 2020 and 2008.

> a lot of hope and a lot of reason to take action now

There's reason to take action now, but since you won't even accept the notion that you might have to reduce your standard of living, at least until renewables catch up again, means we are not going to change our path.

I had these exact conversations in 2006, and very similar ones in the 1990s (though people were less sure of the extreme risks then). The IPCC reports have been for years considered by many to be far too optimistic, and again those people have been proven correct over and over again (until recently they didn't consider positive feed backs and also assume scalable CCS).

At what point would you admit you are wrong? I'll admit I'm wrong if we see three years of decreasing global emissions starting this year and reduced global emissions by 20% in the next 5 years. These aren't enough to get us to our required goals, but if I see this I'll still be shocked and admit I've been too skeptical. Currently I believe this would only happen with a catastrophic financial crisis (which may be the only way we can avoid climate catastrophe).

It's unique because in any other context, defining an element's size in terms of its size would be circular. But the transform property works differently: the rendered size is independent from the element's "real" DOM size. This can be seen in the fact that transform doesn't change the flow of the document at all; there's an invisible placeholder element that's still taking up the same space, and only its visual representation is changed. So the latter can be derived from the former without a circular effect. This is also the reason browsers can offload the transform property to the GPU.

Something I love to do with this is create "squishy" buttons that transform:scale(0.9) when under the :active pseudo-class (with a short transition set up for smooth animation). It's extra satisfying on touchscreens.
India also has 32X smaller GDP per capita. Meaning they produce 16X more emissions per unit of productivity than America.
> China is particularly troubling since they make up 28% of all emissions (US is 15%) and they have both a growing population and growing emissions per capita.

You seem to have discovered that the lifestyle of western countries is unsustainable (and the US is particularly bad). It does not make it China's fault.
There's also going the opposite direction and throwing out everything that requires any non trivial amount of configuration. I've been pretty happy doing this.
