Bitcoin mining uses up all of the efficiency gains from energy saving over the past decade, and more. Bitcoin incentivizes carbon production by keeping electricity demand artificially high, even dedicating entire coal power plants to a single mining location. Therefore, cryptocurrency has already guaranteed we will never have time to advance on the Kardashev scale.

I live in Boston, and would not describe snowstorms as catastrophes that you just wait out. The plows are out right away, and only every few years is there a blizzard bad enough that they'll require people to stay home.
While the pressed discs should have a longer life, there are some where the metallic mirror oxidizes in time and it becomes partially transparent, which results in reading errors.

The oxidation speed depends on the quality of the lacquer that protects the mirror (on the label side), so it varies greatly between manufacturers. As an end-user, you cannot predict the lifetime, you can just hope for the best.

There have been archival CDs, with gold used for the mirror instead of aluminum. Those were immune to oxidation, but they have been discontinued, due to high cost.
Yeah, but in the grand scheme of things it's nothing. A nuisance at best. If people really are worried about climate change, they need to stop trading with China, regulate big oil, invest in public infrastructure and transportation, heavily incentivize development and usage of clean energy sources, etc. Bitcoin is just a convenient distraction from the real problems. Regulating it will contribute virtually nothing to this cause.

At this point in time, there is no reason to care about this. Maybe we start caring if some insane development happens and BTC suddenly starts representing 10-20% of our energy consumption. Until then, there are bigger problems to worry about.

That's great, but on which benchmarks?

I would prefer a presentation like https://speed.pypy.org/ (according to which PyPy seems to be only half as fast; but this conclusion can change significantly depending on which benchmarks are used).

It's worth noting that Luau is backwards compatible with Lua 5.1*, so I see no technical reason why transpilation wouldn't be possible.

I’ve never driven in NYC, but I have biked and walked it. NYC may have more frequent edge cases than SF, but in terms of being able to handle urban edge cases I think SF is roughly comparable to NYC. In some regards traffic in NYC seems even more predictable. Like there’s been times I thought a motorist would gun it through a red light in NYC as would happen in SF, only to see the driver stop and then feel embarrassed for being overly cautious.
Jaywalking is already constant and ubiquitous in NYC. Most people simply do not observe crosswalk lights and wait to cross a street (not talking about avenues). And distracted pedestrians on their phones have brought the danger to a whole new level over the last decade. As you suggest, some bad actors will take it even further and provocatively test the safety response of automated cars. Pedestrian deaths are on the rise in NYC, and I believe beta testing self-driving cars will only contribute to that trend.

It's a line-item in many of your clients' checklists. If they don't tick it off then you will have to answer a bunch of questions. It's a one time pain to get out of the way.

You could also start the process and ask your certifying consultant to give you a certificate saying it's in progress which is also good in many cases but follow through to complete it.

This Brooklyn Intersection Is The Worst In The State, Study Finds

https://patch.com/new-york/parkslope/brooklyn-intersection-w...
For my own environment, I find standups themselves to be worthless, but not pointless.

The worth, what we get out of them, is very very little. "Oh hey, people are working on different, unrelated things. Alright. Bye."

The point, the purpose of having the standup, is at least theoretically valuable. It gives us all a reason to reflect what we've been doing, and what still needs to be done. It also gives us the opportunity to ask "What's next?", although this is rarely needed, as upcoming events are usually conveyed effectively through email or larger meetings once every few months.

Do I want more meetings? Absolutely not! I hate talking to people about work. I just want to do the work and not blather on about it.

Do I want less meetings? Absolutely! I hate talking to people in a way that makes me feel like I'm somehow justifying my job. I justify my job by the work that I do, not by telling someone about the work that I do.

Do I think we should actually have less meetings? Absolutely not! They have a point. There is a purpose to them. There is a need. If everything were strictly through email, everyone would ignore everyone else entirely.

There is a purpose to have meetings, even if it has very little value.
Except our machines are designed around the idea of isolating components and minimizing unintended side effects, while biology has no such compulsion.

Imagine if an extra semicolon in one of your unused files shifted electrical distribution on storage media and that had all kinds of downstream effects on unrelated systems and those effects were critical for multiple other functions.

Only increase complexity enough so the whole contraption is NOT brittle.
You stare angrily at the passenger until they unlock the door and let you drive the damn thing through the intersection :D
Worst ones I've ever had, the dev manager was also still doing some dev work, mostly not on the company's main product, but other crap, but was in on the stand-ups and set the tone for it being a "moan about how hard your work is, to justify why we pay you" fest, by going into way too much detail about every little difficulty he had yesterday. This on top of the fact that there were like 6-7 people on these meetings, no more than two of whom were working on the same thing, so standups weren't even theoretically a good idea to begin with. The meetings existed only for him, and he was ensuring the form they took was terrible, stressful, and took up way too much time.

He also liked to take really shitty notes, then treat them like the gospel truth. I read my stand-ups from notes I'd written beforehand—never done that anywhere else, but the amount of crap one was evidently expected to talk about was large enough there, that I did, after the first week or two—so I could tell for a fact when he'd recorded something about mine that was flat-out wrong, and it was often.

You misunderstand why I brought up him being from Xamarin.

The initial conversation was about how Nat was likely leaving because his contract ran out. The counterpoint was that he was from the Microsoft side and therefore he didn't have a retention contract. I brought up Xamarin because he was likely under a retention contract from that acquisition.

That being said, these contracts probably had little to no effect on his decision though, as I'm sure he would have made more money than he could spend in a lifetime regardless of whether he had stayed or not.

Odroid H1/H2 iirc can run from like 10-22VDC, the issue is finding a solar panel that has an open circuit voltage less than 22V. I found a buck-boost that works with my old laptop and a "car charger" with my admittedly oddball solar panels, so this is possibly, but takes time shopping and reading specifications.
Can't say I disagree with this. I've been using 2FA on anything that supports it via Bitwarden's built in TOTP support for a while now (my Bitwarden is also protected by TOTP also).

Autofill username/password and the token is automatically copied to the clipboard on both desktop & iOS for inputting after entering credentials. Painless and secure.
One of the great aspects of HAML is that there are no closing tags/delimiters.

Requiring enclosing braces and semicolons after every line are unfortunate choices IMO.

You're right! I'm sorry! You said "scaled correctly" but I misinterpreted as "appear/behave correctly".

Before this discussion I didn't have the concept of "scaling" my windows.. because that doesn't make sense to me, and it's something I'd never want. So my scaling factor for everything would be 1. Given that, Xorg "scales" perfectly.

It would take the same amount of time if they're on a closed course or in a city. The difference is you'd need to pay a lot more people to work on it.
We cut out standup a few sprints ago. We replaced it with an automated post on our team’s channel, and we leave a comment in the thread with statements for “yesterday” “today” and “blockers”. Everyone on the team loves it.

To compensate for some of the social aspects, we now do a 30m “coffee chat” Monday morning, and a “engineering roundtable” on Fridays, which is a time to sync up around coding conventions and practices we would like to adopt or get rid of.
So it supported its creation just like I stated? What kind of antisemite country supports the creation of Israel? Do non antisemites by that logic not support the creation of Israel?

"the bus would skip my stop if full"

Minor, but the problem here is that the bus is full, not that it skips your stop. If there's no room on the bus, there's nothing it can do, so it might as well move faster.

We should not be allowing buses to reach capacity, but this calls for more investment in public transit, not less.

Interest is not the same as usury whatever definition you use. The fact that your faith equates them does not make them equal. You are perfectly free to use them interchangeably in your mind but most people do not do so, and your use leads to misunderstandings.

Interest, in traditional western societies is just the measure of the present value of future time, which is understood as valuable. Thus, money+time=“more money”.
You do you. But I'll eat at home alone if that's what I want to do. If I'm eating at a restaurant, almost all of the value proposition is the environment and socialization with the people I went with.

> However, smoking indoors is illegal because smoking is less 'socially acceptable', not the other way around.

It polled at 54% in favour of the ban in 2004 (and I was slightly off on the date, enacted 2006 taking effect 2007):

https://www.centreforpublicimpact.org/case-study/smoking-ban...

It's only anecdotal, but my point is that I think it's considerably less socially acceptable (indoors or out) now than it was when it came in. And I think as a result. I think a lot of people smoked less and less and many gave up altogether, and the fewer people do something the less acceptable it seems.
Reagan cut taxes (supply side). Clinton increased taxes and cut Cold War era defense spending in his 1993 budget proposal. W didn't even put the Afghanistan and Iraq wars on normal budgeting. That emergency spending went straight to debt. When Obama reversed this accounting trick, he was accused of increasing the deficit. Yes, everything is more complicated.

Consider a model where there are 10 companies and 1 worker. Each company can reliably fill their job opening by raising their salary offer over the rest. But from an overall perspective, this is a labor shortage in that most companies are at a standstill most of the time, due to lack of available labor.

This is obviously a simplified extreme, but it scales. If there are not enough people to work the available demand, then economic activity is less than it could be—even if salaries are going up and roles are being filled.

The mobile Firefox situation is even bigger mess - there used to be a mozikka maintained Firefox build based on older Firefox cidebase that supported quite many Firefox extensions. Then last summer Mozilla decided to update the codebase and rewrite the GUI on Android. End result ? A hand picked list of essential extensions (Ublock Origin basically and little else) that are available that hardly gets ever extended.

You can add arbitrary exebsions to the android Firefix nightly build, but it involves a lot of unnecessary steps, such as custom extension list creation, id passing and other bullshit.

End result is that the best bet for using extensions on Android is actually Chrome extensions & the Yandex browser of all things, which will just install anything from the Chrome web store (and it often will even work).

Oh how low we have gone...
I thought that mandating that a person's access to healthcare being based on their personal life choices was a horror from the bad old days of US-style insurance-based private healthcare?

Have you tried a supercardioid dynamic mic with a pre-amp (like the sm7 in the post)? These mics have a fairly tight pickup pattern, especially with higher frequencies and with a pre-amp you can adjust the gain so that it really only picks up when you are very nearly touching it.
Also, deadening your environment goes a looooonnnng way to cutting down on background pickup noise. rugs, acoustic panels, divider curtains etc.
For some companies it is enough to say "The data center is ISO certified". Which I always found strange, because almost every data center is ISO certified. But you will notice over time how relevant that will be for your customers. Simply ask with every lost offer what the reason was. Then you can still take care of your own certification.

Important correction: A division algebra is an algebra in which every non-zero element has an inverse. The dual numbers for instance are a Geometric Algebra which are not a division algebra because there are some non-zero dual numbers which don't have inverses. In fact, almost all Geometric Algebras fail to be division algebras.*

So your point about division algebras is not particularly relevant to the article.

* - Frobenius's theorem classifies all the finite-dimensional associative division algebras. They are: The real numbers, the complex numbers, and the quaternions. There are no others.

But sure, why not, it's all Joe Biden's fault.

Almost always the best way to solve an issue or a blocker, is for the person to simply continue to work on the task, alone.

No. There may be occasional cases where that's true, but it's almost always better to get another pair of eyes (and accompanying different experience) on a problem. There is some great software that comes from solo devs, but most commercial projects are simply too big for one person to accomplish in the time necessary. Business software is very much a team sport.
From my perspective we are only at the beginning of a period where Europe doesn't jump for US.

Through NATO they follow us along into dubious, pointless, dangerous US conflicts, sparing the US President from asking Congress for authorization, while bearing the brunt of extraterritorial attacks since there arent two gigantic oceans separating them from the conflict.

The US uses almost countless Europe located bases for missile shields against Russia and to many hawkish people the cold war is still going on as if it was the 80s still.

Europe still depends on Russia for energy so this symbiosis is seen as important.

But I think this changes because the UK was the only EU member state vetoing an EU military, and with them gone the EU can arm itself. Dismantling a lot of the need for the US, we can mostly assume it will be to keep out Russia and lessen the burden of NATO but there are a lot of values that differ if we are being honest.
