Yes, but wouldn’t it be better to simply replace dirty power generation with this new renewable electricity rather than expending all of the renewable power on this hypothetical CO2 extraction facility. At some point, I suppose, the overall carbon footprint of our world’s electrical generation will come down to the point where CO2 extraction will be a net win. Right now it’s not clear to me.
The earth is billions of years old. A single week of hot temperatures is not indicative of lasting, permanent change or even a change in a trend in terms of climate
Not by a long shot. There is an irreducible tension between lean 80% solutions to targeted problems and enterprise kitchen sink solutions to “integrate” everything. The latter inevitably sucks which means there’s always an opportunity for the former. As long as we don’t let megacorps gain complete control through market dominance there will be no shortage of new and interesting work.
I sort of agree with the book on highlighting and underlining. If you don't jot a note down in the margin, you'll forget your state of mind and have no idea what made some underlined section meaningful. A false comfort.

- Leveraging the wisdom of the Open Source community
I've read a few times that you can derive the Maxwell equations from knowing that U(1) exists, as this article implies, that every point in space has (among other things) the symmetry of a circle.

But I've never seen this derivation. I assume it's either trivial or too complicated. Anyone has a link or thoughts on this?
The natural sciences, the so-called "hard sciences" are really the easy ones, because what they study doesn't have free will. The truly difficult sciences are of human behavior.
Even highlighting and marking is essential to help identify the core ideas on a page.

I'll look into this. Since I wrote that initially, the no-streets OSM map was discontinued so I switched to Mapbox & Maptiler. But I do use two full layers (one custom one without street names) rather than doing what you suggest. Hopefully it's not a paid feature.
100%. There are plenty of games that capture the challenge and difficulty of FromSoft's games, but very very few that capture the atmosphere and world building. Their work is very reminiscent of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus in that respect -- and I think that's entirely intentional, as Ico is what inspired Miyazaki to go into game design.

Nioh, for example, is a great series that's even more challenging than Souls, and with an even more in depth combat system. But the atmosphere, world building, and level design is just nowhere near FromSoft's level.

It seems pretty likely that 1) they do and 2) the gas far too much energy to consume onsite. Adding electrified vehicles might help a little.

What I'm surprised is that they cant find a way to add that electricity to the grid, am i right that you must have an internet connection to mine? If so maybe wireless power is the innovation to unlock these distributed sources?

> What I wrote was not a sketch or a hint, but a proof, from the ring axioms.

Hence "begging the question"... you're assuming the ring axioms hold for the negative numbers. But they do not hold for the natural numbers in the first place... so where did the ring axioms come from, and why must they hold?
Airdrop has been out for years and it still has the same types of issues, so I have no hopes that they are going to fix it.

Edit: I'm not complaining that there are bugs or corner cases. Every software has that. My complaint is mainly that when something goes wrong, there are no error messages, no diagnostic tools, and the documentation is severely lacking. You have to randomly try things. How do you figure out that fast user switching breaks universal control? I just figured that out by accident. Your only hope is googling the issue and hope that someone figured it out and wrote a blog post about it.
There is so much automation to be done that engineering is going to stay. Software is eating the world and there is a lot morr eating to be done.

If the observed variable is “the mean temperature in a given day”, 4% can be expected to occur relatively frequently.

Anyway until we know the probability distribution, and my intuition says that it’s definitely not Normal for wide periods of time, we can’t say if it’s significant or not.
It's a bit silly to call someone "totalitarianist" when his whole career and wealth is from betting against bad governments and winning.

But if you equate "wealthy" with "totalitarian", you are too far gone to debate with.
An impossible computer is different from a computer that humankind can not yet build. If our universe is a simulation, then some entity has already proven you wrong. If our universe isn't a simulation, our limited resources prevent us from running (detailed) universe-scale simulations. I'd say that we will eventually be able to simulate a drug interaction from these rules (it's the interaction between these rules that's the key) but I won't predict WHEN that might occur.

I know at least one midwestern US farmer who quit and sold his land which had been in his family for generations because increasing frequency of large storms made his harvests unreliable.
Short term, for the consumer that sounds entertaining. Long term, I can think of no good outcomes. Stations go bankrupt, government bailouts with money from where? Etc
Focusing on economic gains?

Cities flooded by each time more frequent heavy rains or directly sea rise won't come cheap, and that is where most of human population lives (and most will lose everything they have). It is not that new land opens elsewhere while everything else keeps being in exactly the same way as today.

It could mean death by extreme weather, starving, more frequent wars for billions, but I suppose that if they aren't in the top 1% it doesn't matter nor have an economic value to be weighted by those equations.

And it is a process. Is not something that will slow down or stop till we get back to the amount of GHG and feedback loops of 100-200 years ago, and we don't have an advanced technology enough to be undistinguishable from magic regarding this. Things will keep getting worse, maybe not at the level of Venus by Tuesday, but bad enough to risk most of life on the planet (including ours).
Does everyone else find the default "perf report" output completely baffling?

I find the only way to understand the output is to covert it to a flame graph (thanks Brendan!). I wish the TUI output looked a lot more like GNU's gprof tool.
Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback. An alternative might be to make the circle draggable
Sure, it is technically a trivial one along with other functions. But it doesn't feel sensible to call it a router because that's not its defining charcteristic. And the business of nontrivial routing that goes on in the devices whose full-time job is to be routers is different, involving routing protocols and stuff.
Awesome project. I love the idea of recreating a game in the terminal. I tried doing an exact clone of Pokemon once (with graphics and everything), but keeping the frame rate up always requires getting into the low-level weeds. Sometimes it's nice to write a purely "high-level" game without worrying about that stuff at all. I feel like the terminal is a great way to do that.
Of UTC. Theoretically GPS can work out of sync with respect to UTC as long as all satellites are in sync among themselves.
In virtually every country, there exists the definition of legal tender, which basically is the currency that taxes are paid and the currency that courts recognize as viable payment for debts.

So really, in FreedomLand, you can work and get paid in BTC, but if FreedomLand only recognizes FreedomDollar as legal tender, then when you need to pay income tax, the government will charge you in FreedomDollar, and you need to exchange your BTC to FreedomDollar.

If you cannot or don't want to pay tax, then of course police will prosecute you, and courts will also require settlements in FreedomDollar. Nevermind you have millions of BTC or XBoxes.

Now of course, this "problem" would disappear if FreedomLand recognizes BTC as legal tender, but now FreedomLand government loses all monetary control, and then economic activity descends into chaos.
Pedantry: when the motor starts moving, it's a fine correction, but after one rotation of one of the gears it hits a stop and changes to a coarse correction. It then continues to do coarse correction as long as you rotate in that one direction.

If you reverse the motor, you get fine correction again until that gear turns one rotation and hits the other side of the stop, reverting to coarse correction.

Once you have things coarsely aligned, you back the motor a bit and then operate within the single rotation of that gear, staying with fine correction.
Which is nonsense, what was the purpose of punitive action (jail) when a person will be punished for the rest if their life via stigma and ineligibility for jobs. How is that “correcting” a persons behavior?

> An overexposed digital picture may have no recoverable detail, while an underexposed film picture may have no recoverable detail.

There's a further nuance here... that depends on whether it's negative film or reversal (slide) film. Overexposed negs are better than underexposed, as you say, but the opposite is true for slides. People who shot
"chrome" films would often underexpose by, say, half a step, while the opposite was true for those who shot negs.

> If you arrive to the railway station 10 minutes +-2 minutes before your train leaves you are using time. In a very real sense. In robotics we sync multiple computers on the robot to about miliseconds, that is using time. In a real sense.

Why are you in a very specific technical discussion correcting what is obvious? Yes, you're using time. You're not using time at the precision this company is targeting. At that precision, there are few current use cases, but if they make it cheaper, there will be more. What's there to argue here? You're offended you're not being included as users of time?

The fact that discriminatory laws exist does not invalidate the usefulness of the rule of law. Jim Crow was very much in line with the cultural beliefs of the population. Culture does not absolutely precede law, law and culture feed each other. A recent example are the rates of acceptance of gay marriage before and after the laws passed.

> what are the long term consequences of taking (alprazolam)?

Drug dependence and an inability to cope with stress/anxiety without the drug. Benzodiazepines are useful to alleviate panic attacks, but they’re not a great way to manage general anxiety, due to the drawbacks.

Making lifestyle/personal/environmental changes and removing stressors is the key to managing long term anxiety for most people, not drugs.

The force is you preventing me from getting Ivermectin. If you take a step back, the rest is your description of your perspective ie why it annoys you. From my perspective, there is no noteworthy negative effect of me getting it and i can clearly describe the negative effect in you preventing me from getting a functioning placebo. From my perspective, an action you take (limiting the availability of a non harmful placebo) has a negative effect on me. This motivates me to a reaction. And i dont think you could expect otherwise, its what any rational actor would do.

So again, neither of us needs to be convinced that i am not an utter moron,

that might not be possible, but do you really want us to go on opposite sites of political camps over this? Not only am i not a nazi but i am a friendly idiot that is actually looking for cooperation, if you cant get along with me, who do you get along with? Because it seems to me like you already burned a lot of bridges and my cooperation can be bought at the very cheap price of not interfering in me getting my horse dewormer despite your utter contempt for my idiocy. Yes i do understand its a placebo, it isnt a substitute for a vaccine and i am of legally sound mind. So where do i sign?

So do you have a thought process and evaluation of the cost benefit analysis of starting a conflict over this? Because it seems not. You believing you are right doesnt make the consequences of those actions (the reactions) go away. The world is full of idiots who react to your actions unrelated to whether you are right. Which you can think about. And should unless you want to end up over time having started a conflict with all the idiots (ie everyone given the exposure to enough topics) despite being right.

It's been over a decade since my cosmology class, so forgive any errors, but isn't there a constant that describes the curvature of the universe [1], which so far has been calculated as "flat"? That's not to say we'll ever truly know, since you need infinite precision to rule out hyperbolic or spherical geometry, but in a flat universe, how can you have toroidal geometry?

Per [2]:

> The actual value for critical density value is measured as ρcritical = 9.47×10−27 kg m−3. From these values, within experimental error, the universe seems to be flat.

Funny that you say that, because they think they are.

>>NATO constitutes a system of collective security, whereby its independent member states agree to mutual defense in response to an attack by any external party
Honestly, that sounds great. The risk of being a rentier should be higher than the risk of an index tracker. A lot of our problems can be traced to the fact that bricks and mortar are seen as a better RoI than stocks and shares, and one way to fix that is to change the risk profile of being a landlord by increasing tenants' rights.

I think this would spark all out search engine war. It would further degrade quality of search engines actually their usability since web content would be fragmented between different search engines.

Valuations? You realize the valuation of a small company is much, much harder than the valuation of a public company right? I know a valuator who can take the information of a public company and tell you to about 10% its price on the stock market. 10% isn't good enough for playing the stock market, but with small companies the error factor is like 1000. Meaning your unicorn could actually be worth a million (firesale of assets, IP to patent trolls, fighting over scraps of the VC money) or a trillion (FAANG will now be referred to as FAANGU, U being for Unicorn corporation, your company). It might be more than 1000, it's really all over the map, I can say with certainty though it's less than 1000000.

Try to write code for macOS that can stream data from disk as fast as Logic Pro. Maybe there's really no magic, and I'm just an idiot, but I certainly couldn't do it.
> Also NAT is not routing

The term "transparent routing" is used throughout the document to
identify the routing functionality that a NAT device provides. This
is different from the routing functionality provided by a traditional
router device in that a traditional router routes packets within a
single address realm.

Transparent routing refers to routing a datagram between disparate
address realms, by modifying address contents in the IP header to be
valid in the address realm into which the datagram is routed.
Section 3.2 has a detailed description of transparent routing.

Section 2.2 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2663

NAT is still routing, even if it is different than "traditional" routing.

Few have demonstrated actual competency with using 1 computer. I struggle to comprehend a reality in which auto manufacturers or their vendors are able to manage more than 1 without causing net harm to themselves or society.

The only arguments for more compute power in cars boil down to distracting the driver or making them feel like they are somewhat less responsible for the laws of physics.
