Especially a waste since it's even the same panel as the one you're throwing away. Apple hasn't upgraded the 27" 5k for 8 years now, this new one included (lots of non-display upgrades like the camera and audio, sure, but the display itself hasn't changed)
Couple things:

- C4 fixation is a characteristic of smaller, monocot plants. Trees are slower-growing dicots. There are more pathways to these organisms than just increasing energy production efficiency. For example, have you proven that trees actually reinvest the excess glucose into growth, rather than trigger negative feedback pathways to slow glucose production?

- Also, you claim that the plant is faster growing with harder wood. Typically with trees, the speed of growth is inversely proportionate to the strength of the wood - i.e. cottonwoods and box elders grow fast but are terrible woods, while oak and maple are the inverse. Given the long lifespan of these organisms, have you any preliminary data to back up these claims that these trees are growing faster and stronger?

I used to do plant transgenics in a past life, and while skeptical, I do see projects like this as a solution for the future - though more along the lines of faster growing algae because ultimately the bottom line is the variable cost of converting sq meters of sunlight into carbon energy. It's just super easy to fall for hype and go straight to science fiction rather than focus on the science.
It’s been far easier and cheaper to just rent a dedicated server for personal projects and websites.
I'm speechless. That was... an impressive effort.
The bare minimum is 128 MB. A fully working yet minimal Solaris 10 system runs in less than 64 MB (~57 MB).

ZFS releases ARC memory as the memory pressure from applications running on the system increases; it's been that way since day 1.
For some small freshwater lakes, they participate in "weed harvesting" to keep waterways navigable and reduce "nutrient load" to the lake which can trigger algae blooms. The "weeds" are various forms of aquatic plants (e.g. Eurasian watermilfoil) which get removed and often transported to local farms for use as fertilizer. This isn't a very widespread practice, but has been included in education from state-level DNRs.
> So far, it also shows that the theory that a strongly interconnected economy can prevent war is pretty moot.

This sounds a little no true scottsman, but I'm not sure Russia was heavily interconnected. What necessary good(s) do they lose out on when/if the world refuses to export to them? They're fairly self-sufficient, as I understand it, which makes sanctions relatively weak.
Correct. Accident implies it was not somebody’s fault.

Every.Single.Crash. Is someone’s fault. There are no exceptions. It wasn’t the ice or snows fault, it was your fault for going to fast for conditions.
If I did the math right (euro vs yen, and wikipedia has different years) Mercedes is slightly bigger than Honda. Honda sells more cars in the US, but Mercedes sells much bigger trucks (freight liner is Mercedes), and both sell around the world.

I specifically bought an iPhone 13 Mini because its small form-factor, good specs and pretty decent battery life.
The main problem is probably the color, maybe somehow capping the maximum brightness would be doable.
US tells allies China signalled openness to provide Russia with military support
Well, to be clear, emphasis mine:

“Chinese diplomats and prominent state media are parroting Russian disinformation reports about US-run biological laboratories in Ukraine, deepening tensions between Washington and Beijing ahead of a critical security meeting in Europe.”

I got massively excited by SmartOS, too. Coming from a vSphere and Hyper-V world I found it to be a joy to use. The way that Illumos zones leverage ZFS is really, really cool. The tooling in SmartOS was very nice to use, too.

I never used it in production anywhere, admittedly. I also never got a chance to try out Triton. I'm on the fence about whether or not I keep my SmartOS hosts in my home network now that Illumos is a second-class citizen when it comes to OpenZFS.

I think its too early to say if history is repeating, certainly a possibility. Things have changed a lot since 1981, consumers have a wider range of choice for entertainment, and swapping providers is super easy now.

One negative change though is Public Broadcasting Services are being encouraged to be self funding, which may reduce the options for free and ad-free content!

This particular instance is definitely lying to users, but in general "growth hacking" isn't necessarily so evil. Like adding "sent with Hotmail" at the bottom of the free email service, or offering a printable certificate of your store's Yelp rating to show off to in-person customers.
Logic check... Get off your high horse mate. Nobody is claiming that the vegan/vegetarian diet is the best diet for absolutely everybody, that would be an absurd claim. Outliers can and will exist. Eg. You have people that get health issues from eating onions, it doesn't mean that onions aren't healthy lol.

> the ability to dramatically reduce world hunger is a direct consequence of humans' capacity to improve crop yields such as rice and corn through breeding and engineering.

Not through "breeding and engineering", through artificial nitrogen fertilizer. We have been turning oil into people.

> prevented the starvation of millions of people.

That delayed the starvation of millions of people and now we are facing the prospect of the starvation of billions of people.

FWIW, I do applauded Maddie and her team, and I wish them luck and hope they succeed. But the only way we are going to avert disaster is to stop taking carbon out of the ground and putting it into the air. That's it.

Here's a fascinating talk by Václav Smil at the Driva Climate Investment Meeting in 2019, where he makes the point better than I ever could: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkj_91IJVBk

- - - -

edit: i'm rate limited at the moment. Replying to HWR_14 below

Dwarf wheat was generated through selective breeding, same as the last N-thousand years. And it was only necessary due to the defects of using artificial nitrogen fertilizer:

> Taller wheat grasses better compete for sunlight, but tend to collapse under the weight of the extra grain—a trait called lodging—from the rapid growth spurts induced by nitrogen fertilizer Borlaug used in the poor soil. To prevent this, he bred wheat to favor shorter, stronger stalks that could better support larger seed heads.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug#Dwarfing

Anyway, my point isn't that science doesn't work or isn't good, it's that engineering trees to fix the climate is a whiffle.
oh, how does it look?
Securing a system is like flying an airplane - if one thing goes wrong, the whole thing is fucked. At large scale, a good CISO will be more of a process fiend than a whitehat hacker, the same way that Jetpack Guy is probably not the guy you want piloting your vacation flight to Maui.
There's a benefit to direct manipulation of pixels/voxels within the game.

Imagine, if you would: build a 64x64 "flat" foundation of stone. Clicky-clicky-pokey-pokey to place/remove colored blocks. Post something somewhere to someone: "Hey, I have some fresh voxels for someone to do something with!" => scrape-world.php => asset.vxl => etc...

Basically, games with a built-in level-editor tend to be easier to contribute to. Minimally: the potential "editors" are already familiar with 90% of controls, viewpoints, and can see the asset "in-game" already (and they're probably already "in the game / editor" already, no context-switching to blender or autocad or something).

I'm 1000% sure that if minecraft added some sort of symmetry + polygon + joint/bone/connection-point tooling, you'd see an explosion of polygon assets available within the community.

The technical reason that voxel games are "easier to build" is that you can easily make a 1000x1000x1000 array of integers/chars, and get a 50-"voxel" radius from somewhere and start rendering it with raycasting. Can you render a square? Can you render 100 squares? Boom => voxel engine. Can you get/set a 3d-pixel (voxel)? Can you click "destroy/create" on a raycast target? Boom => voxel editor.
I have an intuition that there are multiple classes of ideas:
ideas that are linear interpolation of the present into the future: Those are intuitive, either for domain experts or the general public. A little voice that says "Next we do this..."

ideas that form a gravitational force: these are ideas that pull many, uncoordinated efforts. It is a bit hard to describe, but I think of this as ideas that are "necessary" in a grander emergence that needs the ideas to cement its existence.

Ideas that are not ready to be hatched: "the too early" class. Sometimes because a missing ingredient has not been identified or not sufficiently widely available. When those ideas fail, and a decade or so later new thinkers think them again and realise they failed, sometimes they go back and figure out the prerequisites weren't there and now they are or they build the prerequisites themselves.

Ideas that are non linear: those are the rarest to come by. I believe they require extreme tolerance for counter-factual thinking either naturally or otherwise-inhibition-reducing aids.
In the late 80s, I visited a publisher in Iowa, a customer of my employer. The top-level guy there had on his wall a New Yorker cartoon showing a bunch of guys in suits milling around, with the caption "Who's going to get the coffee? There must be somebody here who's not a vice president."
Because some of those numbers, and the causes behind them, are likely to persist in the longer term. Many people who can work from home will continue to do so. Many services that used to require a physical visit will continue to be done via online self-service instead. That's the new baseline against which more transient factors need to be compared to get meaningful results, and we won't know what that baseline is until after things re-stabilize.
Well in isolation it worked, but if you plant that corn back in it's original environment it would eventually revert back to the wild type.

It would do that because it would be in a community again and not in a mono-culture farm field supported by synthetic inputs.
My experience is mostly through consuming packages that other people have written, and the downloading existing packages is a big part of why it's problematic. If I already have PrettyCommonStandardLibraryX, I don't really want Bazel to download another copy of it for me just to incorporate your project. Other build systems are simple enough to change, or support this straightforwardly. Doing it with Bazel is quite painful IMO.
>if it’s truly a commodity product

Cloud is not a commodity product. Commodities are easily interchangable. For the most part, a banana is a banana, a pound of corn is a pound of corn, a ton of steel is a ton of steel. There can be quality variations of course, but at any given level of quality there are still multiple suppliers, and the costs of switching between them are fairly low.

That is not true of the cloud. Every cloud is unique in their own special snowflake ways, the APIs are often fairly different, the switching costs are high and there is a small number of suppliers.
I think they are solving for management, for example by locking down the dev environment. Not saying it’s impossible in desktop IDEs, but maybe harder?
The focus should be on walkable communities. Biking and transit help but they are not good solutions for elderly or people trying to commute reliably. EVs are still bad for the environment. Walking is free and simultaneously helps reduce health issues like obesity. I get irked when articles like this barely discuss walking.
>The future of flight shouldn’t be things with propellers and turbines

Why not? Modern turbofans and constant speed, variable pitch propellers are very high efficiency. According to the linked paper, the thrust it can produce is directly proportional to atmospheric density so you'll struggle to produce usable thrust at altitude and just guessing there's practical limitations of how high you can crank the voltage before breakdown and arching become problems. Not to mention that grid of wires looks very high drag at any kind of real speed. I'd wager you get longer range out of an electrically driven ducted fan.
The reason I got the 13 Mini over the 12 Mini was precisely the improved battery life.
Walgreens replaced fridge doors with iPad-like screens and shoppers hate it
AI isn't the first tool to replace part of human cognition. Calculators, going back to abacuses, and any printed reference predated them. Did they reduce the importance of humans? It depends on the defnition of importance: They reduced the 'first-order' demand for human capability, but created more higher-order demand - partly by freeing up resources that could be used elsewhere.

Yeah. I as a kid read a lot. Of things you might call a documentation.

Hi! I'm interested in carbon farming. We have some land that's probably not very well suited to it, honestly, but are looking into doing something with it.

It's hard to say what approach to take, and information is scarce. It would be great if projects such as yours advertised net CO2 captured per acre per year, and also $ per CO2-equivalent greenhouse reduction.

Climate ranges would also be good. Do these trees grow well in dry areas, for example?
I’d be surprised if AWS announced increases: they LOVE to note that they’ve never done that in their sales pitches and enterprise customers value predictability more than the absolute lowest cost. I’d guess that their margins on things like network egress would cover most fluctuation but otherwise I’d expect at most to see something like the EU data centers getting a temporary Russian war energy surcharge while they figure out how to buy a ton of green power contracts.

If the digits in pi start repeating then pi can be written as a fraction. But we know that pi is not rational - it cannot be written as a fraction. Therefore the digits in pi cannot repeat.

Well, over the last twenty years it's arguably been democracies doing the attacks, to be fair...

Maybe it would make more sense to rebuild supranational institutions that, y'know, actually make people figure things out. The UN Security Council has been effectively sidestepped since 2001, to the irritation of many. We need to rebuild mechanisms to resolve problems.

"change the color of my username. Sigh." - Has been a top 3 complaints for my users since we started using matrix/element.

I know it's hard because you gotta put code in there and then hope the various clients respect it - and maybe a secondary color choice in case dark mode / non dark mode.. but still I'd put a $100 on bountysource or something to have the needed code given to the matrix peeps to look it over.

regarding comment on the article - I would guess this is a way fend off the cens calls.. similar to other posts - which I appreciate big time.
IANAL. You don't need to host it in the EU per se, but you must host the data in a country with similar privacy protections.

Practically, this means no US cloud hosts. I'd recommend replicating your cluster to a European cloud provider if you want to be sure. Hosted Elasticsearch and MySQL/Postgres are available in tons of European cloud providers, sometimes for a lower price than their American competitors. It's more overhead for sure, but nothing business-ending.

However, the GDPR only protects personally identifiable data. A lot of data is PII, but not all data is PII. You might not need to bother if you don't collect anything that's unique to a person (though user accounts might pose a problem even if you don't process any other PII).

Depending on the size and turnover of your business, you may also need to comply with some other GDPR requirements (privacy officer etc.) but that's usually nothing more than appointing someone within your company to deal with+take into consideration privacy concerns (something your company should be doing anyway if it's ethically managed). Your data storage will probably be a bigger problem for your business.
I just got a call from the Microsoft Security Team. They informed me my computer was highly infected. I spent 1 hour with them executing all cmd commands they wanted & told them the output.

In the end i told them my wifi was broken and the technician should come by soon to fix it. She turned very aggressive and told me to call my brother Internet provider right now, as this is urgent because the hackers are already in my system. I told her to call me again the next day.

I might have forgot to mention i am using a mac (and had to google the result of all commands & screens).
I wanted to setup a VM and trace them or maybe even let them execute a manipulated cmd.exe to create a reverse shell. But after my attempts to buy some time so i could set everything up, they gave up and never called again.

So sad, i am still scared of all the „viruses of very dangerous hackers“…
CodeMirror is promising. Monaco is huge and clunky to integrate, but it works really well once you get past the steep learning curve. It has everything one needs to build a full IDE around it (as VSCode demonstrates, quite convincingly).

Right now, someone with own parser/language analyzer (I have built parsers for several SQL dialects) has just Monaco to work with as LSP for CM6 doesn't seem to exist yet.

Will be closely watching CM development.

Too many people don’t actually know the rules of the road or have understanding of even basic driving etiquette. They don’t understand that you shouldn’t tailgate people. They don’t understand that accidents aren’t accidents, they are all caused by someone’s negligence. People just don’t understand how dangerous driving is.

I think that this driving ignorance is the root problem, the cause of causes. Need to make driving tests much harder.
