Container shipping accounts for ~2.2% of CO2 emissions:

You're probably thinking of other emissions. They burn heavy fuel oil, so they emit a lot of sulfur.
Nuclear plants in SK are on time as well, which is quite impressive since they did not have as much training. I guess just having a good plan is enough.
Actual fasting (and dry fasting) works...keep in mind there is no such thing as fasting for less than 24 hrs. If you eat once per day or more, you are not fasting...period.

Intermittent fasting is typically for 48 or 72 hr fasts, with a short window for eating (6 hrs) afterward, then rinse and repeat. As above, there is no such thing as intermittent fasting for less than 24 hrs.

The "snake diet" on YouTube is quite effective. Weight loss and body healing begin after approximately 3 days without food, when ketosis is reached, and the digestive system is no longer hogging up critical systems and blood flow.

Ketosis is a wonderful thing...it allows your body to heal itself in many ways.

Water only diets are typically not good beyond 3 days, because your body needs salt (not glucose)...without the specific salts used in the snake diet, you'll truly feel awful. Water + salts = success.

The hardest part is not the lack of food, but what to do with the immense amount of free time gained, due to lack of food prep, earring and cleaning up afterward.

Do it. Fast to ketosis and discover something wonderful.
Funny, the eduroam universities I've been to never blocked any outgoing traffic based on port number alone. In fact, one of them essentially provides you with a world routable IP address, only blocking some incoming ports known for abuse such as 25 and 53. A port scan of the network is a reminder of how badly the world has been relying on NAT to provide security (which it doesn't even do in the real world) because people will just permanently disable their firewall and think nothing of it. Once you hit the wired network, all ports are free game, which is even worse! Luckily, these networks are scanned and honeypots/badly configured servers will get hit with a warning in hours to minutes.

My solution for those restrictive networks is to pick common ports as well. Outgoing ports 53 and 443 work in most networks I've tried, even for UDP. Running a WireGuard server on port 53 means you can't run DNS from that server, and running a server from 443 means no HTTP/3 or QUIC. If the goal is to run a server from behind Eduroam then I think you'll be tough out of luck.
I simply do not understand how the walrus operator is harder to read. Maybe an example?

my_match = regex.match(foo)
if my_match:
return my_match.groups()
# continues with the now useless my_match in scope

Versus

if my_match := regex.match(foo):
return my_match.groups()
# continues without useless my_match in scope

How is the second one less readable? Have you ever heard of a real world example of a beginner or literally anyone ever actually expressing confusion over this?
Couldn’t you just build nuclear powered container ships?

The biggest reason nuclear powered shipping isn’t mainstream is because many countries have local policies to prohibit nuclear vessels from docking.

If the major powers coordinated they could force the minor powers into cooperation. If a country like New Zealand refuses to let nuclear ships dock at their local ports, then simply throw them out of the WTO. They’d have no other option but to change their irrational anti-nuclear policies.
Just create an easy way to host stuff. Support a cultural shift toward dithered images and a universal text format. Make hiring a host cheap and easy and make hosting locally easy. Small sizes makes backing up easier and cheaper. Create a service where people can store a shard of the backup of the new internet and in return have their content added to the collective backup. I really think it’s about a cultural shift more than anything. Because without a collective realization that bandwidth and file sizes need to be reigned in, the content on the internet will just live at the perpetually ascending ceiling of what the internet can handle. And in that situation there will never be a way to make the internet a robust, equitable and interesting place.
This type of order book is actually quite common in Europe now! It provides an interesting alternative to central limit order books and dark pools.

Around the introduction of MiFID II regulation in 2018, several exchange operators added these frequent auction books.

Cboe's period auctions book is the biggest of these by volume: https://www.cboe.com/europe/equities/trading/periodic_auctio...

In addition to Cboe, Turquoise, Goldman Sachs, UBS, Virtu and Aquis also run frequent batch auction venues: https://www.cboe.com/europe/equities/market_share/market/ven...

I actually co-wrote a paper about this at the time, and it's very rare I get a chance to talk more about it! https://jot.pm-research.com/content/13/3/5 (sadly it's paywalled)
Command line client can be found over at:

Single pre-compiled binary, no dependencies. Starting it is just a matter of:

ipfs daemon

WebUI will show up at:

* http://127.0.0.1:5001/webui

Another useful command on Linux:

ipfs mount

This make IPFS available as fuse filesystem in the directory /ipfs/, so you can directly access IPFS content without manually downloading it.
That's not what a parasocial interaction is. A parasocial interaction is something that only goes one way. For example, young girls that are fan of a band or a specific artist, and talk about them as if they knew them.
I think video codecs do much more than just store differences between frames. They detect motion and output instructions like "move these pixels 8 to the left and 2 up". Representing that as a difference would be more data.
This hasn’t materialised as a problem (batch auctions are one on the MiFID II venue models) - some eu venues have run this model for around four years now, its definitely less widely used than other models but has a niche.
From reading this article, I get the suspicion that not only the parents have no idea about computers, but neither does the author.

If I have only a single quote to proof my point, I would choose: "His parents let him buy a PC that he put together himself. It had a big memory card and a lot of processing power."
Never have I ever heard someone who knows anything about computers describe his systems to have a "big memory card". If I type memory card into google, it shows the things you smash in a digital camera. In the 90s and 2000s you would put it in your Nintendo or Playstation.

My other favorite is his use of "Rollercoaster Tycoon" as an example for an excessive violent game (I assume he refers to that game. Its the only game I know that fits the description). Yes, it is possible in that game, that people die, yes it can happend by being ejected from a ride. It is how ever neither the focus of the game nor endorsed by the game mechanics.

Describing Anonymous as a "looser collective" seems somewhat unnecessary. What brings him to the conclusion? With the feeling of the article, I assume the reason is, that they are "hackers".

All in all this article reminds me on the old articles on how computer games lead to violence. Or old US articles on communism. Or my grandmothers take on the Beatles. Or roughly any topic that a group of people perceives to be dangerous while not understanding it even remotely.

All in all, I wonder what anyone should take away of this article. Should parents not buy their children computers with "big memory cards"?
Should parents be afraid if their children are using computers for gaming? Should they be afraid if they use it not for gaming? Should I be concerned to be confronted with a hacker if someone plays Rollercoaster Tycoon?

The guy seemed to have a tough live and his parents even more so. But this article will help no one to prevent anything.
The mentality of people on this site could not be weaker and more fragile.

Flagged for saying that it’s not kind to lie to people! Lol

Satanism is alive and well in Silicon Valley.
I mean .. maybe, but how do you phrase this as a law, and how do you make the billionaires dependent on virality obey it?
Maybe comments like these are upvoted because it's fun to be contrarian, or maybe because a significant subset of HN audience consists of outliers like Robbe himself and empathize with folks like him easily.

But this does not even begin to make his behavior defensible or something to gloss over. He was a threat to society, and yet in your comment it's only his mother you reserve words of dislike for; a grieving mother no less, by her own admission technically inept, who probably tried her best.

The ugly nihilism to which YUI and others adhered to is something we should look at to prevent future YUI's. Was it the violent video games that turned him this way? I don't know, but it's worth thinking about probably. Why did he refuse to participate in a social society? Maybe if he took the time to work out in a gym and keep on top of his game this all wouldn't have happened.

don't have the numbers on hand, but if you compare energy output per acres, wind/solar farms are no competition to nuclear. I wonder what those numbers look like once you amortize those failure modes.
There is a big different because DSM5 official mental illness, and what seems to me what you are talking about when referring to "mental illness" where by a person is not conforming to a life style you believe is "normal" or "proper"

I do agree that as a society in the US anyway we are losing the idea of pluralism, more and more people are being forced to conform to a given sociopolitical ideology largely split on "left" and "right", if you do not conform with the orthodoxy of one or the other you are cast as any number of things other than a free thinking nuanced individual.
Anything that needs carbon in its metabolism will, naturally, use what's available.

Biological systems are tricky, though. If you dump a huge amount of fruit into a forest, the animals will eat it and grow in number; then, so will their predators. Animals who don't eat the fruit but are eaten by the predators will be in a bad spot. That leads to consequences all over the food web. Plus, dumping large amounts every year also changes the soil chemistry and changes what grows there.

Similarly, higher CO2 decreases water pH (more acidic) and can cause fast-growing algae to bloom (which decreases light penetration to the water beneath, and the algae may produce toxins).

Even when high-level equilibria are reached (which they eventually would, one way or another), they won't necessarily be the same or come pleasantly.
Transportation seems to be about 29%, so as we go electric that becomes >50%.

Swap to an auction batch model and they don’t provide liquidity, they simply don’t have significant stakes relative to the number of daily transactions. Essentially their an outgrowth of all trades needing to be instantaneous which lets them reuse the same capital thousands of times per day.

Add to that the fact HFT are profitable and they must therefore provide negative economic value. Either the seller or the buyer is failing to capture value.
Without any data and based on the juniors I met, they pour out way more bugs right out of the gate and the code becomes really bad if not kept in check.
That's a substantial difference between a junior and a senior.

Of course this is dependent on technology and company onboarding and the codebase, so it's really haed.

But also a junior comes trained in one programming language, maybe two, and you encounter many different requirements that might exclude juniors. For example Company uses Elixir, no junior is trained in that, a senior polyglot will learn very fast,a junior might have problems.
That's exactly my problem as well. The other problem I have is the way proprietary manufacturers rely on the fact you can configure IPsec insecurely so that they never need to update their broken-on-arrival IPsec hardware and software to support modern, secure standards.
You don't search for locations with HTTP, any more than a shipping company searches for addresses to deliver to. The problem with bad metaphors is it derails discussion, which I am arguably doing with this comment.

Rest in peace. Roger Hui deserves a black bar just about as much as anyone.

A (likely incomplete) list of his talks can be found here; if you have the time, you should watch at least some of them: https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Roger_Hui

He dedicated a substantial portion of his life to the design and implementation of two of the last truly-unique languages in our field.

We all owe him a degree of debt. If you use numpy, for example, you're actually closer to the heritage of his work than you might imagine; about two steps removed. Start from the top of this thread and work your way down (I am sorry for the source of the link, but none of the frontends cover threads this long and with this many authors):

> Chernobyl and Fukushima are uninhabitable,

People choose not to live there, but plenty of wildlife does. Which is different from saying it's uninhabitable. People could live there. People haven't because an increased risk for cancer and birth defects. Which is a far cry from saying it's not livable. Chernobyl is basically a wild life sanctuary now. Nature is doing better off because of the lack of human presence.

> most people would find the friction of a SQL database too high for freeform notes

Something that I find not only true, but inherent in relational databases: they require some kind of schema, and schemas for freeform text and ideas are notoriously difficult.

I created my own software, which doesn't have a fancy gui or anything, but organizes my notes sufficiently for me, using plain markdown files and dumping the contents into an ElasticSearch index configured for text analysis. I can easily do a very good full text search on the body of the notes, plus I've indexed the keywords for each note in their own mapping.

In addition to having good linking together of related ideas, wiki-like, it's good to have the ability to fruitfully search without the restrictions of exact term matches. Even relatively simple things like stemming and common synonym matching* can improve the usability of a large collection of notes measurably.

*No, I don't think we've really solved the searching by synonym problem. More work is needed.
The story of losing GIL is very popular in the news, and I like it too!

.. but. Let's not count our chickens until they are home. I'm wondering if the Python dev community will take on this challenge. I hope so, Sam seems to really have put in a lot of effort!
I'll start by saying the point has been explained across hundreds of words in multiple forms, at some point you might have to accept you need to gain some more background here independently.

Nothing about what you quoted implies FSD is machine only.

And I mean it's not even for me to define if FSD is machine only, FSD has never been machine only, that's why it's even allowed to operate as it does on public roads.

-

Now, my final attempt to break this down in yet another way...

A driver using LKA needs to actively be applying the correct input since it only works when the car is already approaching a lane marker.

A driver using FSD must be doing the exact opposite. While they must be paying attention and ready to provide input they cannot be actively applying the correct input without causing FSD to disengage.

So most they can do is give the systems indications that they are ready for after things are off the happy path.

-

Both LKA and FSD can fail for inattentive drivers and both can save them, but because of the difference in input, only FSD can harm a driver who was otherwise aware and capable of providing the correct input but not allowed to until things started going wrong lest the feature disable itself.
Yes higher core counts are more and more common, but the language has thirty years of single-threaded path-dependence. Lots of elements of it work the way they do because there was a GIL. I could be wrong, but I am skeptical that Python will ever be the best choice for high performance code. It's always worth improving the speed of code when you can, but more often than not you "get" something for going slower. I hope my worries are wrong and this is actually a free win!
> Yeah, I know about that argument but it just doesn't make sense to me. Removing the GIL means that 1) you make your language runtime more complex and 2) you make your app more complex.

#2 need not be true; e.g., the approach proposed here is transparent to most Python code and even minimized impact on C extensions, still exposing the same GIL hook functions which C code would use in the same circumstances, though it has slightly different effect.

Shifting potentially dangerous content from Twitter and Facebook to small, specialised sounds like a win win.
Thanks for finding a definition.

Baseline / baseload power sources not only is always available, but it is always generating as well, at a relatively constant output.

I would disagree that it is not a desirable quality.

Storage and transmission are interchangeable, both are expensive. I agree storage will win out since it is easier to build unless the transmission path is underwater.

Demand response will continue to generally be emergency reserves, since it means that there is power not being generated and consumed that could have been.

Peak shifting is viable, as long as my car is charged in the morning I don’t care when it happened - although how long do cars take to charge at home? There isn’t that much flexibility in there. I also don’t want my battery cycles used to provide $1 of electricity.

Interesting times!
What about context switches as well, much slower IPC, and basically “no native support”.

Paying top rates is associated with more successful companies because the more successful companies have the money to pay top rates.

That doesn't mean they get the "best" people, though. I know good developers who have joined Google, ended up on things where they weren't learning much, and left Google for things that were more challenging. And I've known people who hopped between the various high-profile companies regularly to maximize salary. They were all smart enough, but they aren't people I'd want on my team because what they focused on wasn't the work or the colleagues, but getting the next promotion so they'd look more appealing next time they changed jobs.

Or you could look at the people in finance. I used to write software for financial traders. It was lucrative but soulless and frequently unpleasant. Some of the people I was building for were awful human beings. I left, and few of my former colleagues stayed in the industry. So in my view, finance pays more because to compensate for its flaws.

So I'd agree that on average a better software developer can command more pay than a worse one. But so can people who are more self-confident, more self-promoting, more exploitative, or less interested in things like net value to society, learning things, or working with good people. There are just too many factors to make sweeping statements, especially at the extremes.
Actually, it got implemented by most major exchanges in Europe in 2017/2018 and cboe seems to be bringing this to the US now: https://www.cboe.com/us/equities/trading/offerings/periodic_...
So I am guessing the banks problem is dealing with an abnormal legal situation.

What if it is structured as a private LLC owned 100% by a holding co-op, and the LLC borrows money?

Or is the problem that there are other risks for the bank?

As a retro computing enthusiast who does algo trading from my Commodore 64, I would very much like more time to compute my trades.
Good question. I think at the very least it shows that in a highly complex systems with many components unknown to us it is very difficult to predict the future. We shouldn’t stop trying though and update our models accordingly.
Obsidian is awesome. No more words needed.
I love it because it reframes the process to be as high-tech and as ultra-modern as they could make it at the time.
That's easy to say, but how do we accomplish it without nuclear?
I don't want to downvote you but I do disagree with most of what you said. Tech writers should be able to learn things and not just be stuck in whatever single tool they are familiar with.

To me, it is clear you don't want to spend minimal effort to understand simple tools because it is not the tool you are familiar with and like to use.

Obsidian is not perfect, but not for reason of using Markdown.
You've just moved the goalpost, now instead of people not knowing what the meaning is, you've asked them to find it.

Ok, how do you find it? Oh, we don't know again :)

The right answer to 'what is the meaning of life?' is to ask for definitions of terms. What do you mean by 'meaning'? How do you know life has or ought to have such a property, that you'd go looking for it?

In other words, the only right answer to 'when did you stop beating your wife?' is to point out that it is a loaded question aka invalid question, instead of scurrying to try and answer it :)

Meaning of life is a variation of when did you stop beating your wife. One presupposes you did beat your wife, the other presupposes there exist meaning and it is important to find.

Those are unjustified presuppositions.
It's currently possible to "verify" your facebook account with a fake ID. Don't be so flippant, ID cards in many jurisdictions already have barcodes, and if governments want social media to require legal ID, it will be easy to set up a system to do exactly that.
It seems to be a combination of poor design and not following operational procedures to manage the poor design.
