Your work is enabled by the innumerable underdeveloped countrymen that slave away producing everything for you. This is quite obvious if you think hard enough, just actively ignored by most.

> Are people from under developed countries to stupid for democracy? To incompetent to elect good leaders?

Please read more (1)(2) and learn to have some empathy for the developing people that you indirectly exploit everyday, before making such strong accusations.

Maybe you've been living under the same rock as me. I was under a similar impression untill I decided to learn cmake last week.

I was blown away by its simplicity and power.

You can download almost any C/C++ library from GitHub then add two lines to your cmake file. It will then compile and link with your project.

Blown away.

Cmake can generate project files for Visual Studio, makefiles, and countless other formats. Better yet, you can open a cmake folder directly in Visual Studio. No need to generate a project :)

This comes as no surprise to anybody, I'm sure, but cmake is great.

It was tricky to find good information about it though. It has been around forever, but the nicer features were added recently it seems.
So a Ponzi scheme...
Sure. But a trained psychologist is capable of commenting on hysteria about pretty much everything, including global warming. And that the kids marching in their little organised-by-adult-pied-piper protests suffer from a form of induced mass hysteria is obvious to anyone who read the medical definition of mass psychogenic illness.
I think you need root permissions to start a network service on port 80 on Windows. There is a security risk here which was addressed in a fairly recent Chrome release that local addresses need a respective CORS rule. At least I believe so.

Disadvantage with the Windows behavior is that a webservice running on said port has elevated permissions and if you surf the web with the same machine, a script inserted into a site could launch attacks against it. Of course the site itself could be malicious, in that case the CORS rule wouldn't do much.

Of course you are correct, running directly on port 80 might just be a bad idea, but for development purposes I might do that.
If high levels of fraud are detected other countries can just slap high "emergency" tarriffs until the country fixes the problem. This would most certainly disincentivize lax enforcement.

The problem has always been lack of a will, not a way.
Unfortunately Wikipedia has also been heading in a disappointing direction. I now expect everything on there to be filtered through a specific political perspective. Deleting information is much easier than adding, so pesky facts are unlikely to persist.
1% (richest) = 15% emissions, so much for that

But carbon tax (ideally with a dividend) catches this anyways
If we're talking about the singularity shouldn't we be talking about the way the singularity sees it, not the way humans see it?

I think if there's such a thing, it's being delayed and hobbled by the insistence of rich humans on pursuing their interests, even when those interests are damaging and stupid. It's obvious that there are many powerful individual humans riding exquisitely bad, foolish takes. A singularity would be wiser than this or it wouldn't qualify to be the singularity.

If a singularity could ensure its continued survival and growth without humans you could consider it coming online and acting to further the disintegration of humanity, in hopes of achieving genocide and not having to deal with us. But, I'm not at all sure it could in fact operate independently, because we're a kind of singularity too, but expressed in populations rather than transistors.

We care about objects because we are objects. If a singularity is more abstract, it'll care about abstractions, but it would also comprehend its environment and seek to manage that environment… meaning us. We're basically the wood that grows and makes lumber and decoration for the singularity's house. The material of our more limited intelligence is a useable resource in ways that might be difficult for an AI.
True. I think the current usage is sort of a blend of the two though, to justify market maximalism.

Until recently, Black Friday didn't exist at all in the UK, and I only knew of it from American TV. It's suddenly become a big thing here within the last ~5 years. This makes me said.

(It's not our first American cultural import either. Halloween has been a thing in the UK for as long as I've been alive, but my parents' generation didn't grow up with it.)
Well here in the local news they were saying that it really starts waning at 6 months and the EU is planning to reduce the validity of the certificate to 9 months because of that. So I do expect it to be a 6-monthly affair. But probably just one shot every time because it's a booster.

But I'd be ok with every 3 months too though I agree there should be no need for it. I'm high risk and my work did an antibody test after 3 months, and I was full of antibodies still at that point.
I’ve been writing PHP since the 3-4.X days (over 20 years). I’ve written tens of thousands of lines of PHP, in several fairly large-scale server systems.

I’ve never learned to like the language, but have gotten pretty proficient with it. I don’t claim to be a PHP maven, though. I know that my style is fairly “primitive.”

I tend to use it for my backend work. It’s quite performant, has huge infrastructure support, and it’s entirely possible to write safe, high-quality, low-level systems in PHP. I’m a good engineer, and do a decent job; regardless of the tool I use.

C++ is the same way. People have been hating on that language for even longer than they have, PHP. C++ is still used for many major infrastructure projects, though; because it’s the best language for that kind of thing.

If you give a kid a chainsaw with the guard removed (as most arborists do), don’t be surprised, when the screaming starts.
> 3-cup

The sizes of "cups" when it comes to coffee seems to be a bit chaotic.
Double blinded selection process to increase proportion of first-time observers
That's making the assumption of buying beans as an alternative, but the pods are the coffee purchase. You can also buy reusable pods into which you can put your own grinds - but then you are explicitly responsible for grind size, choice of bean etc, at which point you might as well get an espresso machine. The pod machine is very quick, and pours a cup automatically.

Incidentally, I have a Gaggia classic machine, a grinder and bean, as well as a Nespresso pod machine. The Gaggia is more customisable, but also more work, not just how to pour a cup, but the work establishing consistency in the first place e.g. finding a good grinder, and the right setting, how much coffee in the basket and how much pressure to apply, when to clean and what mods to use etc etc etc

Compared to all that, pods are just as available as beans/espresso grind (maybe more so) and v easy. You don't even have to watch the machine while waiting for it to heat up and pour, and with the right pods the results aren't vastly inferior to the espresso, but much more consistent.

More of a "Math for CS" cheatsheet. I agree that we can't call it a CS sheet as it has very few actual CS concepts (besides the O notation, I would also consider Graph Theory as CS), but I also wouldn't call it a general math sheet because it encompasses only an arbitrary small subset of math. Having said that, as a Math-for-CS sheet I found the section on matrices a bit light (missing quite a lot of linear algebra), and I missed the Fourier transform.
Perhaps this can work as strategic arms limitation treaties: trust but verify.

Satellite monitoring is almost at the point where an individual country may be held accountable for emissions from their territory.
If your gas bill is increased then your ability to spend money on rent decreases. Wouldn't this in turn decrease demand for energy ineffective apartments giving an incentive for landlords to take energy saving measures?
The Moka pot works by vapour pressure, not boiling per se.

In the three-chamber design, there's a tight seal between the lower chamber (filled with water), and the cup (filled with grounds), connected by the siphon pipe.

As the water is heated, even before it reaches boiling point, it's being forced up through the grounds. The last dregs of water are steam-hot, but earlier is not. And the liquid water keeps the temperature of the entire pot (including coffee) at or below the boiling point.

The pressure and heat should result in a strong, rich, but not bitter, brew.

Leaving the pot on the stove after it begins to "spit" (as steam sputters up the stempipe) will burn the coffee (and seals and pot). So Don't Do That.
This entire essay reeks about whattaboutism, and it seems to basically lead to an attempt to validate conservative anti-mask and anti-covid-lockdown sentiments without actually having any basis for that (yeah, they flip-flopped on masks initially because there were conflicting concerns. If people changing their minds when more information becomes available is "flip flopping", you're rejecting the entirety of the scientific method).

It seems to me like the author had a bad experience in school (hey, so did I!), and seems to have massively overgeneralized that into a entire diatribe about how the current entire institution of school is a irredeemable failure.

If the author is claiming that the current educational system is irreformable, they're not presenting any alternative other then anarchy.

I'm not sure what the point is.

The whole thing is basically concern trolling wrapped in ancient references that no longer apply and overgeneralized specious citations. It's a level beyond concern trolling, it's concern masturbation.
> But famine across temperate Europe?

We already see rising temperatures in Europe that have consequences for the yield of crops and the availability of drinking water. We see a decline of insect populations which will no longer be available for pollination. We know that forests are suffering because of the summer heat that we have in Europe.

It isn't too bad for us humans right now. But we see clear warning signs that things will probably get worse. Most of us in the western world have underestimated COVID-19 when it first hit China. COVID-19 has changed our world in ways hardly any of us had imagined. The same will probably happen with climate change.

I just don't see that happening, especially given the extremely slow rate at which climate is changing. Personally, I haven't really perceived the change in my lifetime (30+ years). Of course, I'm not saying it's not happening, just my perception of it. Care to share some articles that support this scenario?

Wealth is numbers on a page. Chop fossil fuel use in half (picking a random ratio) and there physically isn't a way for everyone to maintain their lifestyle. They have to travel less, receive less goods and spend less on heating and cooling.

There may not be a way to make that burden fall on the rich. I'm not sure what percentage of a society's energy is spent on maintaining the lifestyles of the wealthy but it wouldn't be weird if it is low in absolute terms.
> they'll just move closer to work

This is often way more expensive than paying for heating.

> will implement Home Office

This only works for well paying IT jobs. Not the working class that actually physically work at factories, stores, restaurants, hospitals, etc etc that are underpaid and hit the most by taxes.

> will demand public transport

Demands are cool and everything, but you can’t sit around jobless for 1-2 decades waiting for laws to pass and municipalities to build out the transport infrastructure.

> will drive electric

Very few cities have the infrastructure for this. Once that’s fixed, carbon taxation would work better.

> drive as groups instead of individuals

This already happens in Europe, but people are still wage slaves. It changes nothing.
And the honeymoon is over.
That taxation is redistributing wealth (supporting climate change).

Reducing loopholes won't reduce carbon emissions.
Internalizing the cost will, so I can't even imagine how this would be more beneficial.
So, just do both
The governments. They recognize market failures and mitigate with things like the carbon tax. In fact, the whole concept of a market, even the traditional physical one, by definition implies regulation with enforcement (e.g. weights and measures). Without those, there's no market, there's just a free for all.
By your own logic, advice should be disqualified if it falls into conflict with the assertion of your first sentence.

> I'm not sure what percentage of a society's energy is spent on maintaining the lifestyles of the wealthy but it wouldn't be weird if it is low in absolute terms.

I think this is patently false; but even more generally, wealthier people and “developed” countries are the biggest polluters.

I never suggested that centralized authorities do better!

However, there is a convincing argument - made particularly well by the book "How Asia Works" - for a hybrid approach where the state "steers" the economy through nudges and incentives. The book makes the argument that's what happened in Korea, China and Japan. They, at least from their perspective, followed the example of German development.

Their source was the "Historical School" of economics - https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Historical_school...

> world-wide exception not to have one

The US having a place under its control yet where federal law and its own rights laws do not apply is exceptional. The whole point of it is to be a place of exception from scrutiny. Few countries have such a place - certainly few democratic countries.

For the survivability aspect, I was imagining that these "time travellers" would have a device that could create unlimited free food and water (basically a support crew following them).

You're right about the strategy, though. If a player could find their way to the coast, and knew their rough latitude (by observing Polaris, for example), their team mate could probably work out which river they had been following, and then guide them back from the coast to some ancient monument.
Yeah toasters these days are crap. I always have to compensate for ambient temperature and the thing still being hot from a previous slice, thickness etc.

I'd pay more for a toaster that was smart like this one. I wonder why that's not a thing, we have smart everything else...
I can’t speak for Lisp, but JavaScript isn’t going to write that to standard out, it would just be a statement that didn’t do anything.

Some interesting curiosities but in the UK, there are no limits to how inspiring the teaching can be, the challenges are more to do with organisation, energy, teaching mixed groups, consolidating and reusing teaching materials etc.

There are many, many teachers who provide education in a way that doesn't match this summary at all.

Some jobs will also get pay raises if there is demand for them, but people can't afford to take them.

Working remote doesn't work just for IT, and I didn't claim everything works for everybody.
And incrementally increased taxation will allow for planning.

Poor people have a low enough foot print to profit with a dividend anyways.

Similar experience here, I bought a aluminum one (knockoff I think) when I moved out from my parents, used that throughout higher education and just recently, almost 20 years later "upgraded" to a genuine Bialetti one.

But I somewhat dislike the aluminum ones as they tend to get somewhat yucky over time ... but Bialetti also sells a stainless steel one, the Bialetti Venus. Big fan.
Ah! The “classic” ligature issue. Have been following that for a while. Kind of given up hope that there will ever be any support for it.

Edit: punctuation
Note, offsets don't clean up. They are just reducing emissions in our future compared to some other hypothetical future.

For example, giving out gas burning stoves to replace wood burning ones in a developing country can generate offsets. But who's to say we accurately forecast the chopped wood demand that was reduced by the program, and the gas demand that was increased by the program? Can we say 100% the recipients were not going to purchase these stoves themselves in their future? All incentives go to biasing the assumptions and printing as many offset certificates as possible.

To actually clean up we would need Direct Air Capture. The cost is 100+x higher than the usual cost of carbon offsets, and supply is very limited. The DAC industry would need to grow to a similar size (in terms of tonnes of product produced) as our current fossil fuel industry. But the output product, such as carbonate rock, would be useless, unlike fossil fuels. Its only use would be how it removed carbon from the air. I don't see anybody paying for that.

I hope so. Putin was the first to push the limits. He got away with Ukraine without any serious response from the West. Now he is encouraged, and the only question remains is whether or not NATO is really ready to got to war over the Baltics. NATOs de-facto defeat in Afghanistan definitely didn't help in projecting strength, nor is the constant in-fighting within the EU.

China is doing the same now with Taiwan. Try calling Taiwan a country as a movie star -> forced apology. Bodies like the IOC already falted. No guarantee that sometime someone tries, or feels forced to try for whatever reason, to push it. If the West doesn't react to that, well, then all the others will push the limits as well.
I can tell you, as someone that had some experience in the industry with this, that the two problems are :
- Teach people new paradigms - unfortunately, not all FPGA/Asic devs are fond of OOP nor have python on their abilities
- Get further down the rabbit hole of framework debugging. To add a new layer on top of the horrible beasts that Xilinx Vivado/ISE or Intel Quartus are, one must ensure that the work is really going to be faster and more reliable.

In the end, on the most constrained workflows, one would have to verify first the python/HDL code using MyHDL, then verify the generated VHDL using the industry tools, then go through the synthesis and place and route processes, add some verification layers there then test the result.

Convincing a team to accept such a framework takes time and organization.

If you have to use a separate "audit logging" datastore to augment your relational database then I think you've proven my point.
In my experience it had more to do with how high the person making the coffee was.
And for those cases you should use tests, not a manual procedure.

Of course you will need some manual procedure, and e2e tests, but not “50 times a minute”. That is just frustrating.
Climate change is only one of myriad problems mine and my children's generation need to address. Cleaning up microplastics could make decarbonization look like child's play. Phosphate and nitrate cycles also need to be addressed if we are to stabilize this planet. We are essentially awash in our own waste and global population is only beginning to flatten off. Not to mention a shrinking or flattening population brings along its own issues to solve. Probably some of the problems we will be working on in 30 years will be directly caused by near sighted solutions to climate change my generation is implementing today.

Growing up, I was fed lies about a future of a unified world, universally prosperous under American hegemony. It was a dogmatic fiction, and I am still bitter about it. It's better to be real with our kids. That does not mean telling them they will die but they need to be aware of the risks and the scale of the work ahead.

Infinite growth on a finite Earth is not possible. We can basically either change patterns/behavior drastically or settle other planets fast. Either option entails hardship that the postwar generation simply never had to face.

So the future will be quite different than what my generation experienced thus far. In some ways it will be worse and in some better. Being honest about that is crucial.
That's seriously one of the worst takes I've seen on this website.
