I read your post again but I don’t see what is not fair. If you look at the target sites for carbon credits, many are reforestation projects in the developing world. Is the concern that it is reducing industrial capacity there? Or, if it is paying another company to subsidize efficiency, is the concern that the money is staying among the rich? Or is it a “they have sinned and you can’t pay off sin?” Im assuming not.

I see this as “I made a mess in the street and I hired cleaners to clean it up.” Sure, I didn’t do the cleaning myself, but I’m still being responsible for it, right?

True, to an extent, although I suspect in large part due to increased mobility---family members used to live in the same general area.
Fair enough, but it could be... both !

Since you know that training for photo-realistic faces is going to take extra effort, and that you're not going to allow them - you could just spare that effort ! (Or maybe leave it for later, if the network is flexible enough ?)
This is obviously false. If nobody at all had gone into farming in the last 40 years, there would be no farmers left. Let me introduce you to my neighbors, the farmers. Hint: they don't live in San Francisco. Drive through Central Valley and guess how many 20-40 year old farmers are involved in all that food production.

There are much fewer farmers than there used to be. But simple math tells you that more food consumption divided by fewer farmers provides a huge opportunity for more profit per farmer. If you are politically- and business-savvy enough you can become enormously wealthy.
The problem is that all the commercial real estate has clauses that you can tack missing rent onto the end of the contract but lower rent adjusts the basis so you have to cough up cash.

This means that it is almost always better to have an empty space than an occupied one that you lowered the rent on--I've seen quite a bit of commercial real estate unoccupied for going on 5+ years now.

This merry-go-round will continue until everything crashes simultaneously.

Sadly, anyone noticeably younger than me missed the chance to ride the Hellas Express (Dortmund to Athens). 3 days, 2 nights. Rode it twice. Then Yugoslavia came apart, war broke out, and the Hellas Express was no more.
India is in an interesting position right now. They're riding the fence on relations with their old friend Russia and should benefit from access to below market rate oil and other resources. Provided they don't get sanctioned too, which I think is unlikely, they should see some economic growth. How that works out in the middle of a global slowdown is anyone's guess .
I also don't have Prime, and buy from eBay where possible, but a substantial fraction of the time, the things I buy turn up in Amazon boxes. I think there are eBay sellers who have Prime, list items at slightly less than Amazon's price including shipping, then use their free shipping to drop-ship items to customers. They collect slightly less than Amazon's shipping fee in gross margin, and only have the Prime free as overhead.
I don’t follow. The structure of making investments? Capitalism?
The theory that an increase in the dollar supply will drive down the price of a dollar (as denominated in tons of grain) is not hard to understand, and there is no shortage of educated people in Washington. I am afraid to say what we are seeing is a great example of politicians deflecting the blame for a crisis they themselves engineered.
..and Canada is yet the only G7 country to not have a high-speed train.

In fact, in Canada, trains are slow, expensive and not well-deserved that you are better-off using your car or plane ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> Here in Germany, for as long as I can remember, the government praises itself every year for investing as much in rail as never before.

Unfortunately, that's not true (the investment part). In preparation for the IPO (that never happened because of the crash) Deutsche Bahn was heavily tuned for profit since the mid 90s which led to a massive decrease in investment. As rail infrastructure has a rather long service life, a lot of those cost-cutting measures have only beginning to be felt rather recently. Now not only do the investments that have not been made have to be made up for, but the funding gap has caused the infrastructure to decay even further.

Also, a lot of money has been spent on vanity projects like Stuttgart 21, instead of much-needed extension of freight lines like the one in the upper Rhine valley.
high speed night trains can compete at longer distances but capital costs become problematic. they would be more cost competitive if rail received the same amount of subsidy that air does
Depends on the project size.

My average project size ~12MiB - 19MiB when using vendor/ directory with Golang. It's less than a minute wait on a 1MiB connection to load the whole directory and cache it.

For compiled languages, binary size would be a problem so it's probably smart to write the compilation output somewhere outside sshfs-mounted directory and run it locally. For interpreted languages generally it shouldn't be a problem since everything is in memory. Python does write stuff in __pycache__/, but in my experience it's rarely more than a few hundred kilobytes per cache directory; it's also possible to turn off writing __pycache__/ with PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1.
For what you suggest some combination of these things should have happened.

- Some employee has root access to AWS account and uses it operationally
- Given wildcard S3 permissions to an IAM user and allowing delete bucket
- Not enabled object versioning
- Cross Region replication not enabled
- no large bucket protection
- don't have basic security monitoring and setup of Cloudtail alerts
- have not invested in full fledged tools for IDS and so on.

If some vendor have any of these issues I don't think any customer would approve these software to be used, these are not normal or best practices .

Large apps have detailed playbooks on how and what gets turned on in what order, and most do DR drills and time those runs periodically. These are well established workflows in any large org.

Yes in a real world downtime you can't have planned for every scenario, maybe you miss the target by 25 % like 2 hours more, or maybe in a very situation you double or even triple it say 12-18 hours. You don't go from 6 to 600+ .

The way RTO is calculated starts by looking at limits on cloud/ hardware / bandwidth/ machine sizes, if basic limits are not factored in like cross region concurrency there is no point in RTO being computed. Even if something like that was missed and you spend tens of millions of dollars on AWS then AWS will work with you and relax those limits .

100x missing the plan either means extremely poor planning or they screwed up something very very badly.
> Congress should be directing monthly increases to SS to match inflation numbers

Post-retirement SS benefits are tied to inflation, but in occur annually. (Retirement baseline is adjusted pre-retirement by a wage index, rather than inflation.)
> I get that portability makes sense if you're shipping a software but how many different uncontrollable environments are you going to face? It's usually only a few environments that's under your control.

At my day job and for my personal infrastructure, I routinely edit files across a wide variety of shuffling environments. I am a pentester by trade and also enjoy homelabbing, embedded systems, and working on my ADHD-fueled inventory of fun projects. I am not a dedicated software engineer that has to write polished production-quality enterprise applications. All my shit is held together by duct tape and bubble gum. I 100% understand why you'd want a beefy dedicated IDE for a product you're working on full time.

> I thought it's just a JSON file.

If VSCode has changed in the past couple years to json file that's great! But last time I tried I wasn't able to move around my config easily without signing into some web service.

> This depends, if you make your vim full blown to match the feature (which is probably not even possible), vim tends to start up pretty slowly.

Absolutely right! I keep my plugins minimal. You can do almost everything the plugins can with vanilla vim.

> Vim key bindings are pretty much available on most editors out there.

Also true! In my experience, its wonky and usually requires YET ANOTHER plugin. They're never at parity with all the vim actions.

> And you'll be losing so much from the vast list of plugins available in vs code.

> You can't autocomplete table names in SQL strings like in JetBrains, I've quit using vim 15 years ago as my programming editor.

That's also fair, but I don't use most of those plugins. Only copilot (also available in nvim) and remote editing really amazed me from VSC. Everything else I can just do myself by spawning a shell, using pipes/redirects, and unix tools. For example, I don't need GUI elements for git baked into my editor...I just use the cli.

You can definitely autocomplete SQL table names, but it would require some manual configuration. My autocomplete mostly pulls from strings in my open buffers.

I'm not arguing that any either approach is inherently better, just stating my preference. And for the original topic of remote editing ssh+vim is my preferred solution. Absolutely language-specific IDEs have major benefits over a general purpose editor.

There's also the FOSS philosophical argument but that's just a personal belief and really doesn't matter for all practical purposes.

> insinuates that the "Lab leak origin" theory for Covid SARS should have some credence, based on what happened in the Beijing lab.

From the article, what happened in the lab: "Antoine Danchin, an epidemiologist with the Hong Kong University-Pasteur Research Center, who studied the SARS epidemic in Hong Kong, told us the latest incidents were probably the result of lab accidents."

I haven't looked further to see if this has panned out to be true or true, if they were able to prove that the outbreaks were from the lab.

But I don't see how it shouldn't add credence. Those were other SARS virus' at another virology labs which is believed to have leaked from that lab on two occasions. Why is it unbelievable that it may have happened again?

You are right. People very much hate Russia.

The atrocities done by Russians in Ukraine might be new to people of the West, but are the same old Russians for us in Eastern Europe, or everywhere else bordering Russia.

Russians aren't really treating Ukraine any differently than they were treating whole Europe but especially Poland in WW2, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and of course Afghanistan. And the fall of Soviet Union didn't change anything - since 1990, Russians managed to fight war in Georgia, Moldova, Chechnya, Dagestan, Chechnya again, Georgia again, Ukraine, Syria, and now Ukraine again in full force. All of these places have felt the Russian touch.

Nobody in the world is doing more to make sure Russians are hated than the Russian soldiers and government themselves.

There's more discussion of Hobbes in the book than can reasonably be quoted since it links in to themes developed across chapters, but for a taste:

"I want to draw particular attention to the underlying notion of "self-interest". It is in a real sense the key to the new philosophy. The term first appears in English right around Hobbes' time, and it is, indeed, directly borrowed from interesse, the Roman law term for interest payments.

When it was first introduced, most English authors seemed to view the idea that all human life can be explained as the pursuit of self-interest as a cynical, foreign, Machiavellian idea, one that sat uncomfortably with traditional English mores . By the eighteenth century, most in educated society accepted it as simple common sense."[0]

Hobbes statement of some fundamental truth of human nature is both newer and less open-and-shut than we assume.

Better yet. The government should require all health prices be published online, with the same rate charged to all patients regardless of insurance provider.

Make this similar to gym membership. Let each person decide where to go based on cost and needs. With insurance remaining their for catastrophic events only.
There are some large private forums. I've had friends nominate me a few times but.. well, I guess they don't think I have anything to offer :)
Many of the chief proponents of MMT are now spending their time arguing that current inflation is not a result of net tax or spending policy. Kelton has even been advocating for things like price controls and micromanagement of supply chains. My point is that their own model implies that now is the time for a tax-hike or spending controls but none of them want to admit it.
That's because they're not part of a living, breathing, evolving ecosystem. They're great for what they are, but services on the internet need to be constantly maintained, upgraded, and monitored.

It's not that our values as engineers have shifted, it's that old software was built on static platforms that rarely changed. New software has to constantly adapt to changing conditions in terms of security, stability, and performance.
I bought an Apple ][e recently at an estate sale. Loved playing with it and worked fine at the sale, but failed (monitor is fine but main board no longer turns on, no hard drive grind on startup, etc) after ~15 minutes of use. I found some troubleshooting manuals and got, then replaced, a bunch of main board chips. Still no luck, so I replaced the PS.

So I’m giving up my sunk costs on getting this actual Apple ][e into working shape, but I’ve decided to settle for hollowing it out as a sort of classic computer arcade cabinet? (with the help of a apple-keyboard-connector-to-USB dongle I found online), putting in a rpi4, and perhaps running an emulator to start (since I’ll be specifically reharnessing the original keyboard). This means I’ll trash the main board (and perhaps disk drive enclosure, which I have no use for) and also need to find a flatscreen to very safely and carefully put into the A2M2010 monitor enclosure after removing the CRT component (lovely green phosphors, sad I won’t get to see more of it).

Anyways, all of this is to say that this device is lovely and I might get when if another piece of classic hardware falls into my possession. :)
Whether you make both companies aware is a personal choice. I only worked with companies who had absolutely nothing to do with one-another, ensuring they were in different industries. I also always made sure that any contracts I signed were vetted and that I was in the clear.

For me personally, I always made it clear that my time belonged to me and that I had other things going on. I set realistic expectations based on my compensation and met those expectations. It was never a problem for me. That would sometimes mean that I was working 20 hour days if there was a crunch or emergency at both places, but that was also generally followed by ample time off.
Or perhaps the FBI should be congratulated here for having some respect for property that isn't theirs and it's the cops in literally every other case who should be castigated and punished.

I get why the outrage is here, but we seem to be in a race to the bottom. Instead of getting cops not to kick in front doors, make sure they do it to rich people too? Or maybe I've lost the plot.
Well, given that the whole suburban sprawl style is also financially reckless and unsustainable, the answer is to get rid of car-dependent style of development and life entirely, not just tweak it by going for electric cars.
The only way git could cache this is with a file-system watcher.... and tbh my experience with git fswatchers has been utterly abysmal. They miss things / have phantom changes routinely, on the order of a couple times per week, so I just disable them outright now.

Without a truly reliable filesystem watching technique, git cannot cache this information. Any cached knowledge needs to be verified because it could have changed, which defeats the whole purpose of a cache here. It could change its strategy, to e.g. only check at repo root or require a list of "enabled" .gitignores, but it doesn't do that currently.

In support of your point, 360MB/s is an extremely conservative estimate. I'd expect that from LTO-6, which is around ten years old, and I would certainly hope their backups are on more modern gear than that.
Depends on the country. Most of the UK away from London and apart from a handful of main lines is diesel. Elsewhere in Europe, most rural lines still are. It's likely many of these will switch to either hydrogen or battery trains, the latter possibly with shorter stretches of overhead wire to recharge.

That is very interesting. This implies they are backing off, at least somewhat, from their very aggressive microservice strategy. Perhaps they feel like they have gone too far in decomposing their products.
Is this a common law thing?

Whatever was done in the past, is something you have to allow everyone else to do?

Surely you see how that is morally untenable?

Errors of the past do not need to be repeated or allowed. (Even though they likely will be as human life is complex and fallible).
In theory I think the capital needed to farm might be the real issue; it needs to be maintained even if it is unprofitable to do so in a given year.

I'm in two minds. We can't afford for anything to go wrong with food security, so it might make sense to do something otherwise wildly stupid if it contributes to people not starving to death. But I question whether any given policy is likely to help or if it is a handout for nothing.

But to resolve that specific policies, places & examples are needed. Debating theory isn't enough.

Not everybody can find a seasoned psychonaut, though. The closest they'll have access to is their drug dealer. A therapist with a clean supply and training in trip support is preferable for two reasons: the clean supply, and the legal system. You don't go to the cops if your dealer steals your wallet and car while you're tripping on whatever you bought. If your therapist is a shithead, there's a licensing body you can report that to.

> modern powertrains traverse various electrification schemes without difficulty.

Indeed, however the majority of currently existing stock is only fitted for operation in at most one or two countries

> signaling systems are trending towards ETCS

"trending towards" is doing a lot of work here, ETCS rollout has been stalling for ages. New train sets are still being delivered today that do not really support it. Most countries have somewhat understandably not been in a hurry to make the huge investments required to replace their current, working systems with ETCS.

> trains that traverse incompatible signaling systems (eg the eurostar) simply carry a set of onboard signaling equipment for each standard.

Yes, which is extremely expensive and also requires full re-certification for every country, which means that in practice most trains are only certified for one or two countries at most.

None of these would be unsolvable with some more willpower of course, but they are still absolutely an issue today.
Caus it's fun? Hacking on DeFi products feels like hacking on websites in the 90s, or I assume hacking on PCs in the 80s.
