It can't, source, gas prices in Europe now. Which we are paying. To a dictator who's overtly planning to invade the East. Because the sun isn't shining and batteries are three orders of magnitude too expensive.

Renewables get exactly as much credit for what might happen in future as Communists or NFT sellers get for how awesome their plans are. Nuclear already delivered, in some places still does, winter heat. Its detractors are responsible for gas reliance.
The reason US isn't doing that is because currently everyone in the west is essentially using China to build stuff that's too toxic or dangerous to build here. It would cost a fortune to produce plastics and other cheap things in the west with regulations and labor laws. We also know the harms of industrialization having gone through it in the past, so offshore it. The west sends it off to the lowest bidder (China), and leave them to deal with the repercussions.

Similar to how the British Empire introduced opium to the Chinese in the 1800s to extract silver and trade, the US/West is taking moral Ls to just use the Chinese once again. In turn, the Chinese do their version of this in S. China Sea and Africa.

If played right, there's a possibility of making the opposing side implode, so its no surprise all sides engage in the game. Supply chain issues, wars, pandemics - these suck but they're nothing new to human history.

How does that work in the browser context? Just one long-living HTTP request that the server streams messages too? How does the browser reply? It's hard to understand how it's duplex and real-time over just HTTP without making more than one HTTP request.

There is no legal requirement of that sort that I'm aware of. However, it is recommended that LEO satellites should re-enter the atmosphere within 25 years of mission completion. This is to try and mitigate the ever-growing issue of space junk in LEO.

Yes the A key is the most frequently used, as it increments the USB keycode in all layers. An alternative would be a mode that allows setting individual bits in the keycode byte, but that's still quite arduous.
Not even. JS developers should know to transpile their code to support users that for whatever reasons (from a long list) cannot run the latest JS version... or stick to truly standard things.

The ?. operator was included in Edge, Safari, Chrome and Firefox early 2020. According to caniuse.com, only 90% of users have browsers that support it... but depending on who your audience is, it might be much less (e.g. if you target schools, or government, there might be computers locked in older OSs or browser versions... at least that's the case in my country).

20 years.

A complicated technology like present aircraft, nuclear energy, petrochemical refining, pharmaceuticals, etc. is resting on the shoulders of a few thousand 40-something-year-olds that have the book learning of the 25-year-olds coupled with the experience and judgement that makes the technology practical, and particularly the knowledge of how to go from zero to one multiplied across many many sub-problems.

If something puts a particular technology out of practice for 20 years, many of those now-60-somethings, while still alive, will have forgotten much of what they knew, and not be suitable to put the hard hats back on and get in the field.

And this is not accounting for the effects of whatever catastrophe put the technology out of practice to begin with.

>I must say, Github is now exceedingly difficult to set up.

My GitHub setup process for myself and new hires hasn't changed in 10 years. I'm a bit flabbergasted at what the difficulty could be.

1. Generate a private/public key pair with openssl

2. Add it to your Github account

3. Done

I believe openssl still even comes standard on mac so you don't even need to install anything.
I think it's spread out here in this instance. The realities of the web are that a non-trivial amount of people are going to be using older, outdated devices. That's just a hard fact.

The web dev's responsibility here (or possibly his manager's) is on deciding what level of support they're going to give for those outdated devices.

Do Apple/Google/etc also bear some responsibility here? Absolutely. They can (and should imo) support older devices, much more than they do. But they're gonna chase profit, and at some point the costs of that support outweigh the benefit. That's just another hard fact of life on the web, one that developers should take into account when deciding what kind of support they want to give to outdated browsers with their code.

Luckily, for most things down-compiling to something like ES5 isn't incredibly difficult and can be automated.
What do some of you smalltalksters do with it?

I've had a daydream that some sort of data Swiss army knife/visualizer toolkit would be a fun project but it lacks the share ability of notebooks. Are there other operational sorts of things you use smalltalk for? I have a set of scripts and tools I use daily for work (things that slice and dice our data, perform various operational tasks against AWS, etc..) that I could see cooking in to some sort of smalltalk system but I haven't done it.

Microsoft: abuse market monopoly status () to force and scare OEMs into special bundling deals (*).

(*) Google, Apple: don't do that. And even if they did it, they're not monopolies in laptops/tablets, so they could just as well did it, and it wouldn't be the same legally as what MS did.

That's not the right way to look at it.

A telescope that can see back to the beginning of the universe is never obsolete to astronomers. The Hubble is 'obsolete', but there are plenty of astronomers that would step over their own mothers to get time on it.
But more land and fewer workers means less starvation and malnutrition, which were major concerns back then, effectively raising the living standard. When the primary source of wealth is land, you can only have so many workers until all the usable land is gone. In a service and manufacturing based industry, this is far less of a concern.

The irony here is that the best way to buy a device for Chrome is to buy a Windows laptop and install Chrome on it... Google will support it far longer than they'll support their own products.

Chrome support for Windows 7 has been extended into 2023, which is an OS released in 2009.
The very second paragraph from the link you posted reads:

"The ethics and morals involved with legally bribing or lobbying or influence peddling are complicated. Lobbying can, at times, be spoken of with contempt, when the implication is that people with inordinate socioeconomic power are corrupting the law in order to serve their own interests"

Here context is crucial: the sentence in the parent post was a response to "a long story of corruption and lobbyism".

In most countries it's illegal to hand money to politicians and its seen as corruption, with few strictly regulated exceptions.

In the US it's very different and the amount of money involved is staggering.

The term "a long story of corruption and lobbyism" is not referring to the legal and socially acceptable "lobbying" but the other one.
I thought getting a Chromebook to boot Linux was pretty easy (e.g., ChrUbuntu). Is that for Intel Chromebooks only?
Imagine you have made a few guesses already. Then you have a set of candidate solutions; words that are compatible with the responses you’ve gotten from the game so far. The question then is, what word from the list of legal words should you now pick that no matter what the solution is, will ensure that that your candidate set becomes as small as possible based on the response you would receive? So basically, you have to compute, for each pair of candidate solution and legal word, the number of other candidate solutions that would yield the same response for that legal word.

While it certainly possible to ship electricity over such distances (there are connections from e.g. Norway to the UK or Europe) I agree that that should not be the priority. There is huge potential for renewables within Europe first. Most places in southern Europe still have very little solar (AFAIK Germany has by quite a margin the most Solar installations in Europe and it definitely is not the best geographically). Sweden has huge potential for wind but hardly any installationsjust two name two things.

Another aspect that should not be ignored are the efficiency gains of producing electricity close to where it is used by e.g. roof top solar
Thank you so much! Your comment opens eys on many things in AWS for me and is very valuable.
The first line of the article is misleading. It's not just about a "crappy laptop", it's about locked-down devices (ChromeOS, iPad) that have had their support terms expire. I suppose that is crappy, but it's not quite the image I'd conjure myself.

For various reasons but mainly because I so rarely use laptops, I have a crappy laptop from ca. 2010. It's slow, with a spinning-rust hard disk and an Intel Celeron from its day; it's a miracle it even allowed up to a 4GB RAM upgrade. With a GPU that can barely manage to process a 1366x768 framebuffer needed for the built-in screen, it's an unpleasant experience all around. By all means it's the definition of crappy laptop and that held even when the thing was new.

All the same, it has no problem running Debian 11, and both the newest Chromium and Firefox can at least launch on it. It does take half a minute for the browser windows to actually appear, but it works, more or less. The per-site experience after this depends heavily on how much "cool tech" web site developers have opted to use. YouTube is practically unusable even in the tiny video window it displays and 360p videos. Hacker News is perfectly fine.

Perhaps bias on my own part, but I would argue that this case is the crappy laptop that's reasonable to optimize for. It may not be pleasant, but for large classes of web sites, it should be bearable to some extent. I'm pretty sure both the Chromebook and iPad mentioned in the article have better hardware specs than my thing, but they're both made by companies that are far too willing to drop support after a short period, leaving users in an insecure status and many of them just don't know why web sites stop working.
In the case of colors.js, since it was MIT licensed, anyone who has a copy of it is able to use it for free, and provide it to others for free, even if the author decides to charge for it. Maybe this is a wakeup call for developers not to blindly include dependencies in their projects, in case this happens again. Maybe you should always fork a repo and include your fork, and only selectively merge in upstream changes.
I take issue with a hard 20% cap on low income units. I'm not against low-income units in general but in practice this is the same exact policy that lead to less affordable housing in SF as a whole. Because these caps were set as hard limits (without equivalent caps on commercial developments) people built office buildings instead of housing which made the problem worse overall...

compare this to a city like Boston where these caps are negotiated and set on a per development basis. As a result, while each new residential building may have proportionally less low-income units, boston as a whole has more affordable units available for rent since more housing was built in the first place due to the flexibility of these caps.

I was born and raised in CA, but for the progressive a state we claim to be, some of these policies are down right counterproductive (despite having great intentions) and should be revisited.

* my source here is I used to rent an apartment from the head of affordable housing commission in boston. If there is published materials that contradict this please correct me!
I am just not sure. Looking at todays German energy mix, renewables provide about 20% of the load. There isn’t much wind or sun at the moment.

The rest is Gas, which has become very expensive this winter. And Coal.

We would need to invest into power-to-gas like crazy if we wanted any shot of providing a base load.

I don't have a hard rule for this, if it's a short call, or if it's a call where I am going to be one of the main speaker then I have my camera on.

> So I looked at the version of Chrome on my parent’s computer. Version 76! I knew we were at ninety-something in 2022, so I figured that was the culprit. “I’ll just update Chrome,” I thought.

> Turns out, you can’t. From what I could gather, the version of Chrome was tied to ChromeOS which couldn’t be updated because of the hardware. No new ChromeOS meant no new Chrome which meant stuck at version 76.
Awesome to see projects like this!

Browsers have a large amount of overlap with operating systems - and with efforts to move more of web tech into userland (web components/etc all starting to rationalize HTML and other layers as being built on top of other more fundamental web APIs, etc)

Hospitals can only scale up so far in reasonable time; in the rich world, the limiting factor is generally staff, not equipment, and you can't just make new nurses by the tens of thousands in a year or so.

In some countries, a policy of restrictions did allow sufficient time to get everyone vaccinated and many people boosted, and that is allowing health services in highly vaccinated areas to hold the line, at least for now. In Ireland, for instance, the hospital system is under some strain, but holding together; 95% of adults are vaccinated and over half of ICU occupancy are unvaccinated. With a lower rate of vaccination, the hospitals would already be overwhelmed. Not even that much lower.

The trouble, of course, is that in some wealthy countries, there are significant numbers of people who don't want the vaccine (I suspect more than anticipated by the planners). Some places have under half the adult population vaccinated; at that point, no reasonable expansion of hospital capacity is going to cope with the omicron wave.

> This isn’t your problem Mom. You should’t have to go buy new hardware. This is a problem with the people who make that website. They should be making their website’s code more accessible to legacy devices.

No! This is 100% Google/Apple's fault for planned obsolescence. They should have an option to allow the browsers to update to the latest even if the device is unsupported. You can't expect every website on the internet to test on every old version of every browser that any old device might be stuck on. Where would it stop? Meanwhile, your mom's old browsers are missing important security updates!

You absolutely can. The issue isn't _using_ the optional chaining operator, the issue is that it wasn't compiled down to something that older platforms can understand. Developer quality of life doesn't have to conflict with what's supported on older platforms.
I do not understand the argument for hydroelectric. The risk never seems worth the reward. Clean now? Yes. Cheap now? Yes. Potentially catastrophic? Yes. This feels like an unnecessary risk to take on. The lessons of Banqiao Dam, Vajont Dam, and Sempor Dam seem to be forgotten too quickly.

Despite that I think that both nuclearpower and hydropower are good and safe sources of electricity.
When the patent case was originally filed Sonos claimed in their press releases that Google even used the same protocol to talk to their speakers that Sonos does. Insinuating that Google stole the protocol. That was actually part of the lawsuit they filed though. The reason why is because the protocols in question are standard UPnP protocols used by most network media devices.

I am not sure this is a good argument, if only because the upper bound potential for damage is so much higher.

> the combustion of fossil fuels regularly kills 4.2 million people per year, year after year and counting. The combustion of renewable biofuel kills 3.8 million/year (WHO numbers [1]).

Your link is on air pollution, NOT fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are gross, dirty, and far-too-lobbied. However, even in your own link, there is reference to cook fires, and I would be willing to bet that a lot of that pollution is from industrial processing and lack of regulation as opposed to just fossil fuel.

> Chernobyl directly killed between 60-80 with acute radiation syndrome and caused up to 4000 cancer deaths [2]. Fukushima radiation killed between zero and one person, depending who you ask [3]. TMI killed zero.

The numbers you site are not in your link. It says 6,000 children with thyroid cancer, and I would be willing to bet the actual damage is way, way higher than reported. Esp due to the nature of the soviet union and the fallout and radiation spread across Eastern Europe cannot have a counterfactual for cancer rates.

The real issue is that the potential of Nuclear is to make whole swaths of the planet uninhabitable. This is also where your flight analogy falls apart. The upper bound of death for a single plane crash is ~300 people on the flight + (a few thousand, god forbid) if it hits something critical as it falls. The upper bound for nuclear is... unimaginable?

Edit/afterthought. In your profile, I saw that you are a nuclear scientist. I think you should disclose that career bias when you argue for this.

I think "bad faith" suggests you are not being honest, like you know you're wrong or making a fallacious argument but you're saying it anyways.

I agree that denying or minimizing an ongoing genocide is pure evil.
