That is a wrong statement, and it is deadly to have such a thorough misunderstanding of the climate stability issue. This is a result of the fact that climate change as the western world conceived it for its geo-political goals is (purposefully and) embarrassingly lacking scientific rigor of which direction the information flows regarding the biotic regulation of the clima system. In other words the adopted framework of understanding the issue that just about everyone vocal (or given voice) in the media adopts is wrong (just go to scopus and search for role of forests). That leads to these these types of silly statements in marketing articles, often presented as some profound truths. For those not in the field, Im not challenging the estimates on the CO2 sequestration by trees, that can be done in 5 minutes with elementary school math. Rather, its the lack of pointing out that forests drive the hydrological cycle over land, regulate mesoscale (and in some cases continental) climates, and provide biological functions on the scale that no technology can replace (and never will in fact, there are calculation about that too). The exact opposite is the right message here, we have to learn how to manage and create fully functional forests and cover as much land as we can (given other constraints). At the same time, yes, planting trees randomly without thought is not going to do any good either (and may cause harm as mentioned in the article in offhand manner).

We should stop looking at the world as a dumpster (of CO2), thinking that reducing CO2 or regulating its concentration in isolation to the driving forces is somehow panacea for life stability on earth. The biosphere (microbiological of cause) is the climate regulator, and hydrological cycles (and water as an elements) is far more important than secondary role of CO2 as a radiative feedback (first is its role as food for plants, without which there is no life at all). Too low CO2 leads to death of life on this planet. The issue of climate change are not absolute scales, but gradients ... which we hopefully will find a way to understand and help our unique and irreplaceable microbiosphere to manage.

After years of only doing higher level scripting and SQL, I've been trying to learn to program Android recently, and it seems like there are dozens of classes that are all just synonyms for "Thing" or "Action".

And some of the names are reused in Android even though they are in standard Java libraries.

It's probably invisible to people who have been using it all along, but for me, it's absurd and infuriating because almost nothing has a name that places it in a larger context.

Google seems to have a particular issue with naming things.

If you can't name something in a meaningful way, the next best thing is to name it something completely unique, and not just a generic synonym.
For starters, here's the relevant part of Texas penal code which GP mentioned. You can read the whole thing, it's very short:

https://texas.public.law/statutes/tex._penal_code_section_9....

IANAL, but it seems you can shoot someone in Texas for stealing your catalytic convertor if you "reasonably believe the deadly force is immediately necessary" and the catalytic convertor "cannot be protected or recovered by any other means."
You're looking at pretty old results, round 18 was in 2019. I also don't think that boutique web frameworks say much about the strength of the underlying language or runtime (e.g. look at just.js).

What in the Java world is in the same maturity tier as ASP.NET is open to opinion, but at least local Java devs seem to consider Spring or Micronaut as sane defaults, and of course modern ASP.NET runs circles around those.

Surely you mean the infamous lies about the Mann 1999 "hockey stick"? The Mann 1999 results are correct (see for instance https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5505119/figure/... for confirmation) and the graph doesn't do anything more nefarious than the plot summaries you'll see in imdb: it summarises a complicated thing.
I've run into CSS Grid more than once, but every time I do, I'm confused by it. I know I should probably just deep-dive into it.

I have tried CSS Grid Garden in the past. I don't remember a damn thing from it.
I’m excited about the next 10 years, mostly because of commercial crew and similar programs.

SLS is a death trap and an exorbitant expense.

If we wanted to roll the dice with American lives, we could play Russian roulette and save $1,000,000,000 each time. Or we could just send a bunch of astronauts to the chair. With the fabulous savings, we could fund social programs, or multiple launches of commercial equivalents.

The one aspect of our space program I have a really hard time with is the unnecessary death that’s involved. I remember watching the astronauts die in 2003 and don’t want to see it again. The safety issues and poor engineering are even more offensive to me than the idea of spending $1,000,000,000 per launch, and additional ~$n,000,000,000 to build the accessories.

Edit, forgot the link: https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2021/02/24/sls-is-cancell...
Completely off the point, but how many other 90s developers feel like failures for not being millionaires or billionaires by now?
A Product Hunt for Problems
Undervolting can even improve performance: my stock 5700 xt runs at 1.2V and reaches 110°C hotspot. It then drops the frequency a few hundred MHz to stay below the temperature threshold.

By running it at 1.1V it reaches 90°C hotspot, below the 110°C threshold so it runs at maximum frequency constantly.

Many GPUs (and CPUs) have their stock voltage quite high because it improves yield for the manufacturer. Unless a GPU is really bottom of the barrel regarding silicon lottery, it can usually be undervolted without issues. This is however less true for flagship models which are already pushing the silicon as far as it can.
It is relevant - they did not have a control group. Perhaps their situation would have deteriorated that far without vaccine?

This is definitely something to keep eye on but it should read - something might be going on - more study is necessary.
no it means vaguely what the person you've responded to is alluding to - window controls and such that mimic the controls that the user's OS uses. incidentally I agree with the person you've responded to - what's the point if all apps are different anyway (despite uniformity in window controls). but i realize i'm an outlier - 90% of tech users probably don't have the patience to learn new UIs over and over again.

Can the doppler shift be used to build a pseudo GPS? If so, with the number of Starlink satellites, how accurate could this theoretically be?
Children small enough to be at threat from most of our apex predators shouldn't be alone in the wilderness in the first place. The only apex predator that considers humans prey is the polar bear. The others normally only attack defensively--don't put them in a situation where they feel the need to defend themselves and the threat is minimal. (I would make an exception for going into the area of an apex predator in late winter--there might be a desperate animal that would go for something wrong.)
What does "due care" mean here? Does it have a specific legal meaning? How is it possible to kill someone with your car while exercising "due care"?
I don't know the Israeli government's reasoning, but my impression is that Yiddish was spoken by only one region of Jewish people, Eastern Europe.
As an Engineer with 6 patents I am a co-author on
If you want to earn money from the patent I suggest licensing your patent. If a startup approaches you, make the terms easy in the beginning working toward a % of the gross as the company matures. Most companies do not have deep pockets to outright buy your patent for money that will change your life.
Great story. So often these end in the person throwing up their hands and walking away, but I'm glad you were both able to work it out :)

But, that doesn't sound like what happened. The way I'm reading it, they bought 2 Air Pods (call them AP1 and AP2), that each came in their own respective boxes (BOX1 and BOX2). Then, they mistakenly returned one of them in the wrong box (maybe AP1 in BOX2). No box of rocks here, just an honest mistake that seems like it might have been easy to recognize, since Amazon has a record of selling both items to them.
I would have expected any smelting/extraction to be on the "legal" side of the fence — usually, articles about cat theft suggest they're sold to unscrupulous but legal scrap dealers, who can mix the stolen converters in with their legitimate stream of parts sawn off of junked cars.

(It also, as a practical matter, seems easier to do that than to convince manufacturers to buy odd batches of rare metals from your illegal smelter.)
I'm not into cryptocurrency, but I'm mining on my desktop right now because it's like running a space heater that pays for itself.
A lot of us also know how to diffuse a situation using the threat of lethal force without actually using lethal force. (I don't, which is why I'm not a concealed carry holder.)

Don't go to Texas and steal stuff, and you won't get shot. I don't really have sympathy for crime rings being executed by vigilantes for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property.

A poster above claimed the servers were “48 logical cores (2 x 12-core Xeons) and 64GB RAM”, which really isn’t what I would consider such a “beast” of a machine when the RAM is in laptop territory, and a modest number of cores for a server.

I like that one, I'd never heard of it. Thanks! Is this attributed to someone in particular? Where did you come across it?
Yup same for me.
Also, if you have created the 20th asynchronous task managing class, please put it in context with all the others - which are deprecated, which are good for what use case, etc.

Alsoalso why do we need "factories" for abstract objects that relate to other abstract objects that are some sort of "thing"?

I have to wonder if some of this has to do with really smart people coming to work at Google, adding something without ever really grokking the whole mess, and then leaving after a couple of years because they got their tour of duty for their resume.
Programmers had been putting slashes through zeros long before The Oregon Trail showed up, and my Mom might even have an old, hand-written IBM coding form lying around to prove it. I imagine in this case it is probably OCR gone awry that confused the zeros and Os.

As one who originally took typing class on manual typewriters, I can tell you that every typewriter I’ve ever used had zeros and ones. If one were to tell me that there existed portable typewriters that did not have those characters, I might believe it.
Well, there is a response above you to my reply, he is saying he never used display grid or flex and used CSS for living.
In the end it’s about %FTP for a certain time. For me, 230 km at 25 km/h is ~50% FTP for 9 hours. If I were to ride at 90% FTP for multiple hours, which I think is at the border of what's humanly possible, I could do ~33 km/h, so 230 km in ~7 hours. If I were to raise my FTP by 40% to 350 W, leisurely 50% FTP would be ~29 km/h and 90% FTP would be ~36 km/h, so 230 km in ~8 and ~6.5 hours, respectively.

What's constant regardless of FTP is the ability to ride for multiple hours without getting saddle sores, joint pain, or running out of energy, which is what endurance is about in my opinion.

It could be also symptom of ADHD.
This is me exactly. I hate parties, love game nights. As long as there's something everyone is doing I can participate in, I have no problem being part of the conversation, even if the subject has nothing to do with the actual game we're playing. But as soon as there's nothing to do and I just have to talk to people and that's the only thing that's going on, I can immediately feel my energy just draining away.
What are the major safety concerns with SLS? Thats something I havent seen written much. It seems like it would have extremely standard safety features, especially since you can jettison the capsule now (unlike the shuttle).

Im excited about commercial crew for sure, but something about it actually being done by NASA makes me more excited. Private launches are cool and great, but it doesnt quite scratch the same itch imo
I've never had to use it in my code, but I've had plenty of problems with its use in applications. It always seemed to me that it was Microsoft's attempt to lock people into Windows forever.
I think you're right and prescient, and I'm sad that it's happening now that I'm old. In my 20s I had hours and hours and hours to burn on forums and BBSes and muds and such, and found my way in to some cool communities. I loved participating in them, the in-jokes, and even some of the drama involved.

But those places are all moribund now, and the modern closed equivalent of those communities on decentralized services that I would love to be a part of are, by definition, closed to me because I've got a demanding job and kids and stuff. I might have enough time to participate in such a community, but nowhere near enough to try out a bunch and find one where I'd fit in. And an invite is unlikely, because if I were a part of a great closed community I'd be very cautious about bringing in outsiders.

But for younger people, with more time to join a group, participate for a while, realize it's not the right fit, try another one, etc, until they find a tribe they mesh with, I think what you're describing is spot on - meaningful online interactions will be driven out of the public eye, and traditional social media will grow to resemble Linkedin even more than it already does.
Oh sure. But if you’re trying to defeat them, just take a broom handle to the cat and smash the matrix out. Put it back in, and put the o2sims in (or turn off the p0420 code with some tuning software, which is what I did with my race car when I pulled the cats).

As someone familiar with the "business", I'll just say batteries are the next big thing.

They might not be able to tow your Tesla's pack, but you better watch your scooter, e-bike, e-motorcycle or anything with a battery pack under 20 or so kilos.

This applies especially to street scooter rental companies. You idiots think user swappable batteries were a great idea?

Think again after your shit is dumped at the bottom of a river without its $300 battery, which will go on eBay as individual cells that you can't trace.

Your little GPS tracker in the pack does not help, btw, and the police probably hate you more than they hate the thieves.
A sustainable solution for what? El Salvador is near the equator, and Conchagua is near the coast. Temperatures in the area typically range from 70-90°F -- if they need any kind of climate control, it's going to be air conditioning, not heating.
It was the 2010 Citizens United v. FEC decision that decided campaign donations qualify as protected expression. Presumably it would take a constitutional amendment to change that.

(The usual: I'm not a lawyer.)

I concur with what you say, but rather than social threat, I think of it as over-stimulation and sensory overload. Rather than being socially introverted, to me the challenge is dealing with the sounds, visuals, distractions and general chaos of most social situations. It feels more like having a tennis ball cannon aimed at ones head rather than having to keep ones guard up and shield oneself against others.

Sounds like there are different ways to define or come across as introverted. I attribute my disposition more to sensory sensitivity reminiscent of autistic or ADHD-like traits rather than social anxiety.
Perhaps the easiest solution would be specially calibrated oximeters for people with darker skin - or a switch to change mode of the device.

I would not call it racial bias - skin color is just one genetic trait like color of eyes and as should be accounted for but if everyone around you has green eyes, perhaps it is easier to not have an idea to account for variability.

Therefore including non homogeneous set of test participants is crucial.
After Donglegate, I had already put them on my blacklist. Now I see that my suspicions that it was just the tip of the iceberg came out to be true.
You can scrap them no problem. It won't be suspicious if you have two and the flanges are intact. You'll just look like a normal car guy that just did an exhaust job. Your local law may require the scrapper to record your ID.
That's tunable, and apparently the default is reasonable:
https://sysctl-explorer.net/vm/vfs_cache_pressure/

My workstation has 64GB of RAM and only ~7M directory entries so I have 'vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 1' in /etc/sysctl.conf and cache everything with a full directory traversal via find. The first time it takes 52s; subsequent times take 5s. It has never given me memory problems.
In my experience, the shared SendGrid IPs have poor sender reputation too. Many bounced transactional emails because of blocklists.
Haven't been prioritized recently, not "not prioritized". A big difference. The inversion is (I think it's a strange use, but understand it) that people will work on something that looks like it's high priority (because it's marked that way) when it's low priority or deprecated.
I can't pick a side on this. I agree with you in general but also it's nice to be reminded that there's a human and personal element to things sometimes. I normally name what ever I'm working on to be clear and boring though.
I visited Disney in 1997 with my boss. They were using our product and had some bugs to report, or feature suggestions, I forget exactly. Sitting with the guy reporting the bugs at his desk, I mentioned in passing that "Alan Kay works somewhere at Disney doesn't he?". My counterpart responds "oh, yeah he sits there" (pointing to the other side of the partition we're both facing). I'm like "shearight", so I walk around and sure enough there's the nameplate (or some other evidence that it was indeed AK's desk, long ago I forget the details). Sadly he was not at his desk.
The pattern I see repeatedly is when a solution is built for some problem, and then that "solution" breaks somehow, and then begins the iteration of solving the solution vs rethinking how to solve the original problem.
Very curious what was the conditions behind human hunting in the article. Did the area have unlimited deer hunting w/ no license renewals required? When I tried deer hunting once I noticed that the deer were not in the areas where we were allowed to hunt, and were very plentiful in areas we were not allowed to hunt.
I think the logic is something like this:

People who do wrong should be punished. Otherwise, they will continue to do wrong. The wrongdoers, most likely, aren't going get prosecuted by the relevant government officials and the police aren't going to investigate. The best way I have to punish them and prevent further crimes upon the area in which I and my friends and family live and work is to use a gun, as this is quick, highly punishing, can be explained by self-defense, and used with minimal danger to myself.
It's not even a "white" thing, or a "savior" thing.

Indian here. I have rich relatives who send their kids on very very expensive "charity missions" to Africa (Where the kids work temporarily in some school or such. Something to add to their CV.). These people are not white, and they're not trying to be saviors. They're trying to get their kids into the Ivy League. Their friends-group literally has parties where they share all the ways they can add extra-curriculars and such to their kids admissions applications.
Given a 2D grid (x, y) coords, you can turn it into a 3D grid using a very simple formula

`FOV / (FOV + z)`

So, to your 2D vector (x, y) you give it a z component (x, y, z) and use the above formula to draw it as a 3D scene. Pretty cool, right?! FOV stands for field of view.

I don't know, I've been working a lot lately and on the weekends I'm working on my next game; so I kinda miss doing this small projects that I can finish in under a hour, just to entertain myself.

I don't think this sketch deserves a GitHub post, but let me know if you think it does and I'll publish it.
I have this mental model that introversion is something you are born with and social anxiety is something that you can get during you life (for example, because of how other people treated you)
Well what was I going to do, go back to the factory?

Proposing cryptocurrencies as somehow uniquely capable of solving this problem is incorrect. Furthermore, there are also valid reasons why payments may take longer when crossing certain national boundaries. E.g. KYC/AML checks and so forth.
