Mining's a tricky one. There's cheap electricity in poor and unstable countries with bad electrical grids - they like selling power, but then miners go nuts and overstress it. (This happened in Kazakhstan, for example.)

So large miners are tending to the US and Canada - there's pockets of cheap electricity, there's a decent grid, there's good rule of law, and there's a lot more political stability.

I really want Ethereum to finally get off proof-of-work - not because I have any love for ETH, but because, as well as ETH then not using a country's worth of electricity, that will put tremendous political pressure on BTC.

Why would they? It isn’t like asteroids are now impossible to detect, just harder, while we don’t actually have any counter for an asteroid that was going to crash into the Earth anyway.
Looks great.

I'm hesitant, however, since marshmallow-sqlalchemy provides full integration with your SQLAlchemy models, but pydantic-sqlalchemy only is for generating Pydantic models based on SQLAlchemy models, and it seems as if it's still experimental (Why does it have more stars? :thinking:)

Otherwise, just between pydantic and marshmallow for straight up validations, it seems Pydantic is more legible and easier to use at first sight.

Will switch if pydantic had full integration with SQLAlchemy.

And for those of you looking down on me for using ORMs (yes, i know some of you exist), I use both raw SQL and SQLAlchemy.

I find it multitudes easier to build models and deal with migrations in SQLAlchemy than writing scripts.
> complaining about issues with Linux, not actually about the Framework laptop

If Linux distributions advertised as working out of the box by developers of Framework don't work as advertised... is it only about Linux, or is it about Framework Laptop, too?

Are there other operating systems that can run on it?

And the author does mention scouring Framework Laptop forums for answers to his problems and finding people reporting the same issues.
The closer they try to get to replicating real world computerized systems, the more they tend to fuck things up, and that then stands out as a bigger and bigger sore thumb for me, so I can’t watch them. Think Mr. Robot.

Otherwise, they do actually sufficiently replicate the office environment, and then they’re just criminally depressing. Yes, I’m looking at you, Office Space.

The more they stick to what technology could be like in the future or in an alternate universe, and distance themselves from our real-world systems, the more I can enjoy them. Think the Matrix, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc….
It's debated whether current inflation is predominantly caused by supply-chain issues in the first place, so assuming that as the base case isn't stable ground. But let's not focus on the cause of our predicament for a moment.

Here's a chart of the Consumer Price Index: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CPIAUCSL

Rolling 12 month average % changes to CPI is what's reported by the media when talking about inflation, such as "a 7% increase to inflation". Notice how CPI rarely ever goes down. This is by design. In fact, deflation is usually worse for everyone versus inflation. Nobody wants big swings of either, so it's typical for central banks such as the Federal Reserve to control either direction, and they usually hedge on the side of inflation as their target. So that's why I said it's a very unlikely event to have deflation.
It would had captured more carbon (or at least, less carbon in the atmosphere) if you didn't turn it on.

It would be great a carbon capture technology, on which companies should invest billions in a technology that turns carbon into (natural) gas, liquid (oil) or solid (coal) form and bury them deep underground. In the same way with that plant, not extracting them in the first place would be a more efficient solution.

But instead we have this kind of placebo technology that not only does nothing, but worsen the problem, and with some creative accounting gives them an excuse to extract even more fossil fuels and delays even more the urgent actions needed to mitigate the devastating consequences that warming at the current rate will bring.
In that case, unfortunately you do need a printer.

I don't manage the system I work on, so I don't see OpenBMC, but "a number of rough edges" sounds a lot better than the proprietary BMCs it's been my misfortune to use, which appear basically to be unsupported.

As far as rust goes, I've just asked around for rust expertise to try to get a feel for whether it's worth persisting with trying to make the stuff work that a user wants, since I know nothing about it. (The first issue I found was exactly i8 in a current crate.) That is rather the exception in building free software for ppc64le, though, in my experience of packaging HPC-type stuff. The real problems are with Mellanox/NVIDIA proprietary stuff for GPU support.

> When does the original parent run out?

ten years. so just after the world collapses. it's so great that we are blocking the development of vital tech /s. i mean, imagine a world without today's level of production of laptop screens/OLED TVs/LCD TVs/phone/tablet screens. all those toxic chemicals. there's so many things we don't need a flashlight being shone in our faces for, and (as someone else in this thread already mentioned) our circadian rhythm being disrupted for.

of course e-ink tech and the health of our eyes and sleep is just the tip of the iceberg. in the larger perspective capitalist firms are suffocating the earth with their single-use, non-modular, non-upgradeable, black box e-waste. they're not even 'tools' to me because the living and breathing Silicon Valley AI is using and abusing us (the workers) through these 'products'.

i abhor the intellectual property system and monopolized vital technologies, it means capitalism makes the worst technological tools.

The thing is that you cannot use ESM in normal project. Typescript and jest still do not support many features and node.js today have important features marked as experimental.

OP push for ESM is absolutly annoying. There is big disconnect between node.js modules working group, library authors, tooling projects and reality of node.js projects.

At work, I simply see no migration path. People that push for node.js broken ESM version have no idea.
Strongly disagree. Rational people do not feel the need to prove every fact independently for themselves. Instead, they develop a rational system of qualified trust. You don't blindly trust expert consensus, but you do weigh likelihood based on the source. Flat Earthers would be better off if they simply accepted the consensus rather than being mislead into believing they're coming to their own conclusions based on evidence.
Don't try to be right. Try to become less wrong with every day.
There's almost no popular city in the world where this is feasible.

Especially the 800sqm garden.

A small terraced house with a 200sqm garden, maybe. But 800sqm is extreme for anything above a sleepy town. Maybe in a bad neighborhood or a suburb reasonably far away from the actual city.

But in the city? In ~1000sqm you could build an entire apartment building that could house 60+ people.

> Something is seriously askew if a normal middle class in a rich country can no longer do that.

No, it's a correction the other way. The post war boom that lasted until about 1995 is over for good. Especially with the competition from all over the world, not just from the small Western sphere.

Edit:

Oh, and this is super arrogant:

> Even a Romanian block of flats from the Ceausescu period would seem a luxury to the peasants of Vlad the Impaler.

If you sneer at Communist apartment buildings, a decent Romanian block of flats built in 2022 is basically at Western standards from every aspect you can imagine (example: https://www.skia.ro/en/one-cotroceni-park/). And I stand by my point that you can raise a perfectly happy and functional family with 2 kids in a 100sqm apartment. If anything, that house with a large yard is more of a luxury.

I have a couple of things from bygone Linux days: a retail copy of Red Hat 5.1 (pre-RHEL), and a 6-CD InfoMagic compilation. The latter was especially handy back before cable modems came to town.

It sounds like this was intended.

It looks like the project may've been based on winning a grant [from this call [PDF]](https://www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?xID=2638932A61D80-09C7-C9... ) from 2009, which wanted:

> The first round of commercial scale projects is expected to achieve annual carbon dioxide reductions by 2015 equivalent to taking approximately one-million vehicles, or about a third of all registered vehicles in the province, off of the road.

Sounds like the Canadian-government was looking for projects that'd remove a lot of CO2 for the money, rather than necessarily a high portion of CO2 from the source.

Then from the executive-summary of [this report from 2011](https://open.alberta.ca/publications/quest-carbon-capture-an... ):

> Over one million tonnes of CO2 per year will be captured, representing greater than 35% capture of the CO2 produced from the Upgrader.

Plus [this project-database](https://sequestration.mit.edu/tools/projects/quest.html ) also listed it as being intended to capture ~35%.

It's kinda weird to capture just ~35%, but apparently they didn't need to go higher to meet the project-specification.

“Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.”
I grew up in California but left in 2019 because of desertification (increasing wildfires and droughts) and the tone-deaf, utopian absurdity not directed at traditional liberalism, problem-solving, healing social problems, or long-term sustainability.

Recently, on CBSN LA, they made the usual ("If it bleeds, it leads") big deal when a pretty young white chick working in a store alone was violently murdered by some criminal jackass with a lengthy record. Fodder for the middle class and upper classes to demand "law and order" at any cost, while of course the upper classes enjoy preferential protection and treatment.

Even if all cops were suddenly idealistic, professional "Boy Scouts" independent of political concerns, they aren't and can't be everywhere at once. But, in California, honest citizens aren't legally allowed to defend themselves or their families. And, most cops have given-up and many DAs aren't prosecuting crimes. Sounds like a recipe for a swing to totalitarianism if you ask me, not building a social safety net, a mental healthcare system, and universal healthcare (which Medicare is not).

The most important question is: Are you familiar with Skid Row or what Venice looks like? How about SF, San Jose, or Sacramento? In 2018, I saw a homeless dude proudly relieving himself in the middle of Sac's main library front lawn in front of rush hour traffic. Also, it's not limited to California. Austin had a visible homelessness issue until outdoor living/poverty was criminalized, but now it's out-of-sight, out-of-mind with a quick "fix". The two hotels (e.g., literal concentration camps rather than death camps) the city owns for the homeless quickly filled up and the remaining people had to scurry to hide anywhere else less visible. LA also criminalized poverty for a while through an ordinance that was struck-down in federal court.

Overall, in the US, there's a sense that there is a risk of civil war around 2024-2025 due to a number of colliding factors. Matters that are forbidden from being discussed here because respectful debates and dialogue are often impossible, and also a certain kind of ideological/academic fascism and reality warping and isolation that exists in two camps. Don't dare speak heresy against either camp or be instantly "cancelled" if belonging, or attacked if outside, for daring to challenge tribal dogma. Most people are divided-and-conquered, and there's a certain group who feels they're losing their entitled power. Another issue is the widening bifurcation between the real impoverishment of the majority and the recent doubling of the wealth at the top.

Ah yes, I do miss the good old days of front-panel key switches, where rubbing your feet and touching the front would reboot your system. I've never seen a smartphone or ultrabook with one, though.
There are clear cases where "true authorities", however defined, have been wrong about all kinds of subjects, so the fallacy still applies. If you can only justify a belief by appealing to the assumed superior knowledge of experts and specialists, you cannot justify that belief as strongly as someone who can argue from first principles or a clear chain of evidence. The appeal to authority is not necessarily fallacious, but it's more likely to be so.
The problem with the flat earthers, and the more conspiratorial portion of the climate deniers, is it's not clear even the people making the claims believe it. They don't seem to mind ideas that contradict theirs, so long as the central belief that there is some sort of vast conspiracy is upheld.

You can't really engage with people who aren't all that interested in what's actually true.

> A 486 can handle X just fine. 486's were our main X11 desktop machines at the office in the mid 90's (it has been the year of Linux on the desktop for me since 1995). The challenge is more that most modern X clients won't play well with a slow, memory constrained machine.

I remember when X switched from monolithic server to modular one. I had to buy new GPU because S3 I had wasn't supported. I have bought ATI.
People have been making these exact arguments for almost as long as professional programmer has been a thing you could be.

In an effort to overcome our subconscious loss aversion with data, we should back test these hypotheses. If you do that, you will see that every time someone has suggested a specific thing was going to result in fewer programmer jobs they have been quite wrong.

Now we need to weigh the very real negative of screwing over other people who would like to also earn a decent income against the total lack of evidence that this will be bad for existing programmers.

Do what your conscience tells you, I'm going to try and get other people to program.

If you take it quite literally as running around in a circle, then probably not. The ants are unable to know their position in the world or know very much at all. They don't have memory to remember they have been at a location before or probably even the brainpower to work out what is going on.

These days with GPS it would not happen but even pre gps we have always had the stars, compasses, the sun, etc to know where we are and where we are going. If you take it as a more abstract concept about going in circles, than idk, maybe?

Infosec is a weird field in that people are either super-smart or bureaucrats and seem to have a niche either way.
