> in 2021, global warming was seen as a minor issue rather than a "climate crisis".

I just want to push back on this. The US isn't the sole contributor to climate change and I'm tired of pretending like it is. We need to stop with this Americentric thinking, this is a global crisis. Nor is electricity the only factor. The US is about 15%. We'll round up to 25% assuming the EU follows the US. That's still 75% of the emissions not coming from the west. We need to also look where emissions are coming from. In the US that is 29% transportation, _25% electricity_, 23% industry, 13% commercial & residential, 13% agriculture.

If the US (and EU) grids went highly nuclear that doesn't mean we'd also have more electric vehicles or more electric appliances. We would look a lot more like France (in energy). It isn't just the price of electricity that has caused these things to become more popular. For example, with cars the battery technology is a big example of why we see them now and not in the past. There may have been more pressure for this, but it isn't an assumption we can make.

So if we're just talking the US, that's 25% (electricity) * 15% (US global contribution) or 3.75%. Let's say electricity and transportation and industry, that's still only 11.55% of global emissions, and that is an absurd overestimate. Yeah, 10% of emissions (I'll say conservative estimate that includes EU) would be a big deal, but it wouldn't turn climate change into a minor deal. Though we would have a large leg up from our current position as we'd be able to focus less on clean electricity production and more on all the things that produce emissions and carbon capture techniques/technologies.

All sources are from EPA.

Edit: I'm not sure why people think I'm anti nuclear or even uninformed on it (many people that know my account will know my expertise here). I'm also not sure why people don't think I care about China's emissions. I'm saying that the problem is much bigger and complicated than any single country. Even if one country should be picking up the mantle and leading the way, they aren't. So what do we do then? That's my complaint. Because "what do we do" has been mostly complaining.

Edit 2: To be clear, my quip is about global warming being a "minor issue" if we had just built said reactors. This is just flat out wrong. If the US was 0 emissions, there's still the other 85% being produced. France is doing great, I know. They are an amazing example (I'm not anti-nuclear?), but they aren't 0 emissions either. No one is?
Maybe don't do that then? If someone knowingly bombs areas densely packed with civilians, then they are committing war crimes at best, terrorism at worst.

It's incredibly difficult to have sympathy with Israel when their politicians and military behave with such little regard for human rights and human life - I really wish they'd take the moral high ground and just fucking stop the evictions, abductions, torture, beatings and killing.
I have no doubt there is a lot of fraud going on! I just don't think making researcher write 5 years plans for what they plan to do is the way to combat it.
It's not a cult. I use all three operating systems and I'm highly proficient using linux. My distro of choice is Manjaro and NixOS and I have a lot of experience with debian and ubuntu as well.

Each operating system has benefits and downsides. For user experience linux is definitively the worst. Definitively. The differences are so large that it's almost comical how someone on this planet can't see the difference. If you can't see this then you are the one that is part of a cult.

> Just the general category of workplace health measures is too broad and ill-defined to specify whether it is constitutional or not.

This seems reasonable.

> Particularly when you start stuffing things like vaccine mandates -- something unprecedented for OSHA -- into the bucket of workplace safety

I agree it is an imperfect application and pushes past existing boundaries.

> You would need to make a case that the measure ties reasonably to interstate commerce or some other enumerated power

If limited to the scope of this EO, this is hopefully part of what the courts are going to consider.

> Personally, I think trying to turn OSHA into a public health authority is a bit of a stretch, as historically this has been the job of states.

On the former, I agree on principle. On the latter I am disinclined to appreciate that arrangement while it is routine for state officials to exercise corruption and party favoritism - because it is typically left to harmful state officials to perform their own oversight.
Probably because of licensing costs. Take for example SQL Server. If you want to use it on a server with more than 128GB or RAM you have to get the enterprise version which is licensed per core and the cost is in the thousands per each core pair. Sure, you get a discount, but still the price is steep.
In the Bay Area it’s pretty standard, I’d say. Be surprised if there were any at a Bay Area tech company without any engineering in their past.

Unless you mean something specific by “trained”. Like most Software Engineers, I’m not a PE nor did I undergo any specialized training. Pretty much just have Maths and CS degrees and lots of work experience.

The internet needs better rules, not stricter referees
It's not perfect but MS has been investing in a scheme to make upgrades as easy as possible for the last five years, .NET Standard being the prime example. This way, we've been able to migrate our project progressively while keeping it up to date. We've been able to use .NET Core versions of libraries as long as they support .NET Standard 2.0. This is way better than "migrate fully or die".
Depends what you're after. The only correct advice for "what to do a project in" if you're looking to ship and/or make money is "use what you know" so any advice beyond that is heavily contextual.

There is no killer feature for .NET I think. That's why it's a hard sell. I think its sales pitch is more or less parallel to Java (though I prefer C# to Java and VS to IntelliJ).

Do you want a statically typed, extremely fast, cross-platform language with a comprehensive standard library and huge ecosystem of 3rd party packages with almost unrivalled devX (Rider on non-Windows OSes) and streamlined packaging and deployment that allows you to scale from single person PoC to large team development within the same codebase with no additional overhead?

I'd note that it's a bit of a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to desktop and ML. The ML.NET package keeps getting better but for those areas where there's an obvious standard, e.g. Python for ML, you may as well use the standard for that thing. The desktop story continues to disappoint and I'd advise people to steer clear of desktop unless they want a nasty surprise. But for web applications I'd not want to use anything else.
This is cool, but it has already been done before: http://tilde.town/
C# is fast and .NET core is cross-platform. It's good for games, web, and mobile development. F# is a great functional programming language. There are fun tools like SignalR (easy websockets), Blazor (write C# and run it in the browser through WASM), and LINQ (built right into the language and allows you to query objects like a database).

Toplevel programs should make it easier to experiment with C# if you're interested. We also have first-class support for C# commands in https://ab.bot if you just want to play around with the language and make a fun Slack bot or something, although it might take us a week or so to get move up to .NET 6.
That's a good list. I've found some stuff I was looking for at Bloomsbury. Tor is probably good if you're into sci-fi/fantasy. But if you're looking for a specific book in English it's typically very hard to find a place to pay for a DRM-free e-book.

A search engine that covers all the little sites selling DRM-free books would be nice!

(Publishers of Norwegian books fortunately tend to have just do watermarks, which is fine – you can read the book on whatever device you want, and your copy has a little note saying "ex libris Your Name" or something)
Do read up on minority shareholder rights. Controlling Voting shares is not as the same hash rate in crypto, owning 51% doesn't give you effective control to do anything you want. There are restrictions on what you can and cannot do .
You could also perform a systems thinking analysis looking at the n-order impacts and game effects of your decision. It might be a larger impact than your single vote.
Agreed 100%. Even seasoned .NET devs can’t tell what all this stuff means and what the implications are. I wonder if anybody at MS really knows.
The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) is not a special-holdings cataloguing system. It is not even an academic holdings cataloguing system (in the US the Library of Congress Classification System, LCSS, is overwhelmingly used for this). DDC is used, in the majority of cases, for public libraries, serving local communities, in the US.

The fact that DDC was developed at an academic library (Amherst College Library) doesn't refute this --- origin stories are not present-use stories, and Amherst have largely converted to the LCCS (see: https://www.amherst.edu/library/find/finditfrost/call-number... https://www.amherst.edu/library/find/finditfrost#tab-44437).

The LCCS, though influenced by DCC, is distinct. It still reflects a US-centrism, though with different emphasis. History of the Americas occupies two of the twenty alphabetic major classifications, and each of political science, law, education, agriculture, technology, military, and (separately) navel science, has its own major classification, reflecting the interests of a government ... and that government's library shelving concerns.

Specialised libraries rarely use DCC in my experience. Medical libraries often use their own specific classification, and academic libraries in the US as noted above typically use LCCS, though some retain DCC or their own ideosyncratic classifications (both are generally being phased out for LCCS).

For the University of California, an academic library with a strong inter-campus ILL programme, local circulaty exceeds ILL within the multicampus system by over an order of magnitude (1.6 million vs. 135k https://libraries.universityofcalifornia.edu/about/facts-and...). For a local public library with few exceptional holdings, ILL circulation is likely a far smaller fraction of circulation. (Some have regional lending arrangements with peer libraries, independent of ILL. This still remains a small fraction of total circulation.) Much use of materials is within the library itself, captured only (if at all) in reshelving statistics, though those are hard to find.

(I used the UC library system only because it's among the few that have available statistics.)

The point remains that the principle focus of a cataloguing system is for local use and management of a bibliographic collection. ILL happens to be an incidental and compatible use. It is not of itself a major factor in classification system development.

If you have any substantive argument to the contrary, I'd be happy to hear it. You've not yet made one.
Seems reasonable. What's your question? GPT-3 is just that good.

ZFS Woes, or How ZFS Saved Me from Data Corruption
You’re right that it’s all relative, but that’s not necessarily true.

Where I live buying is much cheaper than renting and even if my home is worth 25% less than I paid for it by the time it’s paid off I can come out ahead because I still have an asset worth let’s say $100k and I’ve spent less money than I would renting. That’s without factoring in the other reasons people buy homes.
Thank you for sharing my post. I wrote it mainly because I'm worried. Terrified that my kid will have to live a life inside a virtual world - not the real world. I'm saying "have to" because when the meta world hit us, we will no longer NOT talk to others because we're staring at our phones. We'll don't even see each other. We'll have people around us but experiencing different worlds. It will be a lonely place. No one on the streets. People only living in simulations.
I am only a tourist in this space (I run personal sites etc. but do not do any heavy duty engineering nor am I an expert here) but I usually default to Ubuntu. I'm familiar with it because it's my day-to-day personal OS, and it is usually well-supported whenever I use a PaaS (or it's the default, recommended choice, as is the case with Heroku I believe).
>Running your own IPFS gateway at least makes the content actually fetched from the network (internet) via IPFS while using ipfs.com/cloudflare-ipfs.com is not any different than just using a CDN (except usually you have to pay for CDNs, IPFS gateways seems to be free (for now)).

I think there's still a lot of value in this way of using IPFS: using ipfs.com/cloudflare-ipfs.com makes it much easier to swap to another IPFS gateway (including your own local one) if those gateways ever give you issues.
A complete tangent, but the design reminded me of one of the most beautifully illustrated children’s books I have ever read: Trouble for Trumpets. It was written in 1982 and still looks futuristic. Even at 40 I can leaf through it joyfully.

In the movie Contact the Earth wasn't under a genocidal attack by a overwhelming forces of a highly advanced alien race, they just received some blueprints that they thought should do something.

Very different case, I'd say.
I've spent much of my money-making programming time doing CRUD web apps in PHP. Several years ago, when .NET Core was in its infancy, I had the chance to try a different language for a new/different CRUD web app.

The .NET Core ecosystem was a lot sparser back then but picking up the language was actually the most pleasant "learn a new language and be productive in it" experience I've ever had, and I don't think I'd ever turn away from it now. YMMV, of course, depending on how much you like whatever you're writing in now.
>I think it’s because content by definition is mediocre, otherwise it would be called art.

My recollection/understanding is that the authorities/court system locked up his bank account, he was legally not allowed to say that while trying to crowd source funds to help pay his attorney and cope in the midst of the case so people jumped to the wrong conclusion and lambasted him rather than support him and his suicide followed shortly on the heels of that (like within a day or two, iirc).

He was painted into a corner with seemingly no way out.

People who are suicidal frequently have intractable problems and are frequently treated like they are merely crazy. The best way to help people who are suicidal is to not be dismissive of their very real problems and, of possible, actually be helpful. But as a baseline, don't act like it's all in their head. That actively makes it harder to solve intractable personal problems.

Fully agree. As a pro nuclear person, I don't get why people do this propaganda. It only hurts our position as it is very dishonest. Though I also really dislike how Americentric the global climate crisis is. Yeah, America is a big contributor, but only 15%. I don't see anyone else really stepping up to solve it. If America isn't going to act, why isn't _your_ country stepping up? It's the global equivalent of "well the rich guy isn't playing fair, so why should I?"

> This hasn't changed through the ages

Hasn't it? A few hundred years ago you were talking about the right to speak unsavorily without being put in jail or worse.

In the last hundred years we have developed pervasive media and communications, and these days the discussion is to what degree the unsavory should be given a platform, granted air-time, provided with targeted advertising ... and perhaps more importantly the right to tune it all out if you want.

In the days of Voltaire if you didn't like what somebody was saying you could just walk the other way. These days they follow you round YouTube.

> Conventional red meat can have 20X the amount of glyphosate than your apple can.

Is there a reason for that?

It seems plausible to me that glyphosate would not survive being cooked and, therefore, a food that is often eaten raw would have different requirements for different types of food.

The increased allowable amount is also not indicative that there is actually more in it. It may simply be reflective of an decreased bioavailablity of the substance when delivered via meat, for whatever reason.

It’s not about “risking burning out the employees”. Small companies simply don’t have a chain of command and employees are taking on so many mission-critical things at once that employers need them to be constantly available.

I worked at a startup as an engineer and was the most technical person at the company. My personal life was not respected by the CEO because I was the only one who could navigate the 2am calls with the overseas manufacturers. I ended up quitting my job because of that, but someone more desperate for work than me would have probably taken that abuse for a lot longer, at the detriment of their mental health.
