Anything that causes a backslide to the point people are burning more fossil fuels would be an over allocation. So would any attempt to pull so much CO2 out of the atmosphere that caused a mass green plant die-off.

It is possible to overshoot the problem. It seems improbable, but we could overshoot.
You are very bad at numerical thinking. Higher crime rate per capita does not mean higher crime rate, does not mean higher possibility to get attacked.
Half a gram of antimatter would cost a bit over $30 Trillion to make at the moment.

We could probably just buy the whole city instead and not worry about blowing anything up.
The analysis and conclusions seem just as relevant 5 weeks later, hence my posting it now.
> more likely to get shot by a drunk angry husband anywhere in Wyoming than NYC

That is an oddly specific circumstance of murder, sounds like it may skew the statistics.
I don't think yet another way to install things is going to suddenly trigger a wave of new, native desktop Linux development.
Well, Paris has changed a lot. I believe it's a rapidly degenerating city.
Look at the higher resolution photograph of the stone, not at the graphic sketch, which is slightly misleading.

For the fallen man, you can see the back of his head, on which it is clear that the hair is shown, and not a helmet, as on the enemy.

Besides the head, at the edge of the stone, there is something that looks like a ponytail, in the same way as the hair of the victorious warrior is shown. Moreover, the ponytail of both warriors is tied with a chord, which has at its 2 loose ends some kind of knots or decorations. The 2 ends of the chord are seen for both the victorious man and for the fallen man, and they look the same.

The resolution of the photograph is not good enough to make the identification of the feature at the side of the head as a ponytail certain.

Nevertheless, the hair on the back of the head and the presumed ponytail look very much, at least at this resolution, like the hair of the victorious warrior, and very unlike the helmet of the enemy.

Because the enemy wears a helmet, we cannot know for sure whether his hair was short or long. We can presume that his hair was short, as otherwise the helmet might have been uncomfortable.

Also from the loincloth of the enemy we see just a narrow edge, which is not covered by the shield.

I agree that the lower edge of the loincloth is similar for the fallen man and for the enemy, and this is the only similarity between them.

So we have:

Pro the fallen man being an enemy:
Similar lower edges of the loincloth.

Contra the fallen man being an enemy:
1. Completely different military equipment, spear and helmet and shield versus sword with a scabbard of an unusual form (common to the fallen man and to the victorious man).
2. Long hair tied in a ponytail versus presumably short hair under the helmet

The similar lower edges of the loincloth might be explained by all loincloths being similar. The victorious warrior might have been a richer warrior and he might have had some more expensive leather garment instead of a loincloth, like most other warriors.
> Why is this a surprise that cities are dangerous places?

US cities. Toronto, for its faults, is a large city which is very safe. Unless you’re a gangster.

I bet I could walk around Jane/Finch on my phone and have better personal security than the nice area of many US cities.

It’s sad that you can’t solve the problem as a nation, because IMO cities are the figureheads of a civilization. Look at Detroit. The Rome of High Modernity 70 years ago, now a rotten husk.
This may be from 2012, but it's surprising just how much of the specific advice still applies.

Grep, sed, awk, xargs etc are still the canonical list of shell tools for debugging, and have been for decades.

Makes you realise, learning Unix tools will likely be a better long term time investment than the latest trendy framework. I wish I could go back in time and tell that to my younger self...
How do you know that? Because someone switched careers they must be after "one thing and one thing only: cash?"

Just because someone has a CS degree they can't be primarily or solely motivated by cash?

Again you're making a huge, sweeping generalization about a large group of people. That's called a stereotype and it's not helpful.
If you do, please upload a photo to https://openbenches.org :-)
Are we able to construct experiments to test this? I’m not sure how that’s possible given the confounds we don’t have the ability to control for (genetics being a huge one). Looking at group level statistics can’t provide a definitive answer due to this.

If you have some links that prove otherwise I’d love to see them!
There are some x86 clones embedded in "PC in an ethernet port" style parts for upgrading old industrial designs. IIRC clones do things like a 486 clone clocked at a few hundred MHz.
But does Remotion support native Windows and Linux ports?

I've never minded the speed, expressiveness, intuition, or integration of Electron. All the value is in portability. A desktop app limited to just one operating system is near useless today.
An interesting look at an absolutely insane idea! The Foxbat was an interesting design because as the article mentioned, flying at Mach 3+ required essentially destroying the engines. The Foxbat was supposed to be able to catch the Blackbird, which is why it had giant engines and had skin with a high nickel content for enduring bursts to high Mach numbers.

Even so, the Blackbird could crank it up to about Mach 3.4- the Foxbat didn't have a chance to catch it. One could wonder- did the MIG design bureau know this, and suggest the biz jet version as a way to save the project? Either way, it was a success for the Soviet Union if nothing else as a propaganda machine.
Oh I didn't think of analyzing the .exe to determine which compiler was used, silly me.

I'll drop you an email (but I'm in the middle of moving to another country so things are a bit hectic atm).
Being completely ignorant of the process, I don't understand how burning would possibly make it better. Let's say that you perfectly filter/capture bad stuff (and I'm extremely skeptical of both our ability to do it, and industry claims of our ability to do it). What do you do with it then... other than, put it in the ground / find some way to store it, and now we're back where we started?

I think a lot of us have this childhood mental image that "burning makes stuff go away". But it doesn't!
I kind of miss add-in processor cards to allow a computer to run software from another architecture. Those devices were basically a whole computer on a card or add-on that would use the host computer for I/O with some level of integration. Stuff like the Apple IIe card for the Macintosh LC, or the MacCharlie sidecar for the original Macintosh that allowed it to run PC programs.

I bet there are modern PCI cards out there that can add a hard-to-emulate processor to a consumer/prosumer-grade system, but I'm not sure what to search for.
My experience of Google is very much incrementalism and long term sustainability. Very few things at Google are built "new", it's tons of cobbling together systems that already existed and making small adjustments and optimizations to them.

There's a big difference between the product strategy side (v0 of N different chat products) and the tech side which is that all those products are made of many of the same components arranged differently.
In that case isn't crime 'out of control' in most places, everywhere, all the time?
Isn't the simplest solution that everybody shakes hand with Byron?

Everybody but Byron has one handshake and Byron has n-1, with n the number of people
Why is it less offensive? I've seen some dogs that leave a larger pile than I do. Is it because imagining a dog relieve itself on the street is less offensive than imagining a human doing it?
In my experience, my TV transcodes dts to whatever it wants to output.
Similar experience in Seattle. I lived in the Capitol Hill neighborhood for 11 years and left in 2012. I went back to visit a few years ago and it looked like the homeless population had doubled or tripled in the time since. And it was already bad when I lived there.

These cities seem to have a lot of fundamental societal problems and they have no idea whatsoever how to solve them.
> We found that mixing social and work meetings didn't work (i.e. a weekly kick-off where people both talk about their weekend and their priorities).

One thing I like about my current team is that we have a 30 minute daily to begin the morning with, and usually the first 15 minutes is spent just doing light socialising, talking about whatever we fancy. Then we get into work.

I think it's valuable to have the social connection with your team mates, and its a good way to ease into the day.
It's probably fair that, in the US, bootstrapping ID from nothing if you were born somewhere across the country, don't own a home, don't know your social security number, and maybe don't even have a permanent address is probably going to be challenging. But it's also sort of an edge case. And, at the extreme, remarkable enough to be a podcast subject: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/invis...
For anyone thinking the tradeoff is fully native, single OS specific vs cross-platform Electron, do remember there are intermediate options, and I'm not talking Qt (though that's also an option).

You could make a minimal native app shell for each platform, with the most relevant integration points, and then host a native webview within that shell that shares its UI across platforms.

Not quite as nice as true native, not quite as fire-and-forget as Electron, but certainly more efficient and integrated than the latter and a lot more cross-platform than the former.

Would have been nice to have a real, cross-platform UI library that uses the native controls everywhere, kinda like what WxWidgets hoped to be. Unfortunately Microsoft in their push to make Windows desktop development into a Lovecraftian nightmare, made that all but impossible.
Remember seeing this a few years ago and love the idea of "zapier but for developers". Having just been building our Zapier integration, I'm think i'm even more of a fan of the concept. Zapier is so clicky and feels so limited. (and expensive if we were to encourage our customers to use it!)

Can I make an integration for others? Or is that stuff all done by your team?
On the contrary; London Breed cut the SFPD budget by $120 million in 2020[1].

They are nearly 50% below "fully staffed" officer levels. Ask any SFPD officer about this, or call a station. They're generally happy to complain and tell you all about it.

[1] https://nypost.com/2021/12/15/behind-london-breeds-defund-th... and numerous other sources; Google it.
The sworn force level in SF is higher than in some recent years. The SFPD has gone on a tacit strike because they are a right-wing gang who are trying to overthrow the district attorney.
Spoiler alert: nothing, at least the article doesn't point out anything that he got right except that the designs were modified after the fact. That a brutalist facade allows a modicum of customization is not something the architect planned for or got right.
> What do you do if your VPN goes down and you need access to your server to debug it

Here is exactly what I would do:

1. Sign in to AWS console (with my Yubikey).

2. Click "Lightsail > instances > <my-server>"

3. Click "Networking > Allow Lightsail browser SSH/RDP"

4. Click "Connect using SSH".

5. Do debugging!

In short, you can use cloud providers' web interface as an escape hatch. This just works as long as you manage the firewall using your cloud provider's network filter, such as Security Group, rather than, say, iptables.
This is a major reason many companies that start native, then try to scale to 100+ person eng teams often end up incorporating web views, and then switching over entirely.
Saw this happen personally for our desktop client at Dropbox.
That just goes back to the original question then - where’s the money coming from? Who is paying? How much do they have to sacrifice?
VLC wants to know your location.

(Though I recall it being a bit snappier when it was based on wxwidgets rather than Qt.)
Could been the operative word.
The government decided to convert a high value oceanfront property surrounded by residential apartments into a homeless shelter in SOMA - with access to spouse and pet care. The residents protested against it, got accused of NIMBYism, and were forced upon it anyways by admins that live predominantly on the West side.

The whole neighborhood cannot be parked in, and right next week had multiple cases of assault that went uninvestigated.
I look at it the other way. Because it is gradual, we have much more time to adapt. We may miss out seeing how we've made improvements because those improvements are also gradual.
> The SD card in the Raspberry has to be purchased + wears out pretty fast if you utilize it.

Buy a high-endurance card or simply use external media if you have I/O heavy services you run on it.

> The VPS power bill is already paid with its price. For the Raspberry you have to pay the power bill.

True, but that cost is so small. Not sure if those German prices are accurate for most places, but where I live, it's nowhere near 0.40 EUR /kWh, so the cost of electricity per year is marginal at worst, unnoticeable at best.

> That is the reason why I replaced my Dell t30 Server with two Contabo VPS servers. I also don't have to worry about my ISP screwing up my connection.

Taking a look at Contabo (never seen them before), it seems their "Cloud VPS" is all virtual CPUs (not dedicated ones), so not really comparable.
This is exactly what I'm talking about: In my city we reserve good manners for those who aren't commiting crimes upon us!
> The story is made even more complicated because it's happening a few miles upstream from the Belgium - The Netherlands border so it is cross-border pollution - and The Netherlands is currently working to turn some land near the border into a wetlands nature reserve.

The EU should start a program to get their nations to put national parks on their borders. This would be generally nice, and also it would improve unity by preventing this sort of thing. Plus, if the EU ever broke up and European countries returned to their combative roots, it would set the stage for some nice woodland battles to break up the monotony (ok the last one might not be a serious reason).
Then thanks for the clarifications!
The thing to realize is that we're already engaged in climate engineering. There's no going back or unwinding it at this point, so basically I agree that this is the logical next step.
My point is that they are not suffering at the levels I compared it to, yet have the gall to tell everyone else not only what to talk about - but that they shouldn't even be talking about anything else.

I may not be suffering either, but I'm not telling anyone that I know better then them what "the real problem is". I thought this would've been understandable, but maybe the clarification helps.
I recommend the film "Dark Waters" starring Mark Ruffalo. A true-story dramatisation of a similar case in the US involving DuPont and PFOAs used in the manufacture of Teflon:

Great job! This is cool.
Example of such app that’s mainstream?
I was on the bus this week, listening to a podcast on my AirPods Pro in “transparent” mode. I switched to some music and flipped to noise canceling mode. I’d forgotten all about turning on spacial audio, but I’ve gotta say, it was magical. The entire world went silent, except for the music coming from my phone I was holding in front of me. Even when I turned my head, the sound was coming from the phone. I had to convince myself that I wasn’t being “that guy” and listening to music on speakers in public. The only giveaway was that the sound quality was too good for that.

I’m won over. The listening experience was astonishingly good. IMO it’s not a replacement for a good surround setup in your own living room, can be mind blowing when out and about.
Isn’t that just sessions but with extra steps?
I propose there is no dichotomy between addressing the immediate needs of a nation or people and the far-reaching needs of the environment and climate. Both can be addressed at the same time.
I'd rather work on a team that simply wants to get things done as opposed to conducting various rituals. Accomplishment is probably the ultimate team building exercise.
>Here's the discussion from reddit. It appears as though the developer is loudly promising PIII emulation but has a history of not delivering.

The developer of 86Box as a rule has a history of backing up their claims -hence 86Box which has gone from strength to strength in the years since being forced to fork from pcem.

A *LOT* of people float into the project's discord and ask "pentium III when?" -this addresses that, as well as answering the overly ambitious promises made by a recent fork of 86box.
There's some sort of "benchmark" pun lying in the open here, unexploited.
It is not clear to me that correlation would hold if there were dramatic changes to the reporting and enforcement of non-murder crimes. (And that's assuming that murders are in fact being reported at the same rate, and not being misclassified by police as "accidental deaths" or something.)

A mix of stockholm syndrome, aggressive gaslighting, denial. It's not just SoMa or the Tenderloin either. These are some of the recent local reports on Chinatown:

Yet we keep hearing that this isn't happening. Things are fine. It's exaggerated. Even in this very thread. I can't help but think of this quote, "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

haha thought you were talking about 80s and 90s. real estate was considered very risky and nobody were seeing it like stocks as interest rates were double digits. that was the prevailing attitude and why many chose to rent because it was the renter's market as real estate market did not recover post japanese real estate bubble deflationary
That tracks pretty closely with what I experienced when I last visited. I would call SF a failed city in that it cannot perform its basic functions to house or care for its people.
Seconding this. It's a very irritating implementation detail of Comcast Business service. It can be worked around of course, if you have a VPS somewhere close-ish with a static IP you can do the whole WireGuard tunnel thing at the cost of some extra moving parts and maybe a minor latency hit. And while overall their business offering is certainly vastly better than their consumer shit, if you're on their router they're still jerks. I've noticed their own pushed WiFi keeps switching itself back on for example. Overall it reinforced my desire to use absolutely anything but Comcast whenever possible, though when it's not I'd still pick business service of consumer service.
Yes, making developing nations richer faster so they reach developed countries birth rates sooner.

Educating girls and empowering them on those countries also will make birth rates to decline faster.
The great thing about tabletop RPGs, though, is that you're ultimately free to do whatever you want. It's the job of the dungeon master to roll with whatever the players do and possibly even change the entire narrative on the fly. In that way, tabletop RPGs are typically much less constrained compared to video game / computer RPGs.

So it's entirely possible that you could start the game as a slave catcher, but if that's not something that you actually want your character to be, then you could definitely try to escape that role! And it would be up to the DM to decide how to respond to your actions...
The EU needs to just ban non-authentication use of cookies and client side marketing data collection altogether. I can't stand those annoying prompts, something out of a hellish carnival.

Why are you conveniently ignoring everyone asking you for sources?
I am very excited for this. For those unaware, Ron Gilbert was the creative force behind The Secret of Monkey Island 1 and 2, but then left Lucasarts and the subsequent Monkey Island games were made by others. He's said for a long time that those games, while perfectly fine, didn't represent his vision for how the series would have continued (and Monkey Island 2 finished on an intriguing cliffhanger), so it's cool that we'll finally get his version of things, as the new game will continue from where MI2 left off (although apparently the other games will remain as canon somehow).

Also, a few years ago Gilbert and many of the others working on this new game made a retro-styled point-and-click adventure game called Thimbleweed Park[1]. It wasn't a smash hit in terms of sales, but I thought it was a lot of fun, and had some very sharp dialogue and design, and reassures me that the creative team haven't lost their touch and this won't be another Underworld Ascendant debacle.

I’d be interested to understand how this app is any different from iMessage and FaceTime aside from not having an iOS app?
I’m not really sure what you’re arguing. My point is that those who can’t use your app would appreciate electron, not that electron is the best.
All this reminds me of the workflow era (and the 2008 revival), I wonder if people have bpem based async helpers to manage operations.
Every city has rough neighbourhoods. Is San Francisco relatively unique in that those rough neighbourhoods are the heart of downtown?

I think I've heard that downtown LA has had a pretty bad reputation in the past.
> The only real difference is that the aspect ratio of the film may change during some specific ‘Enhanced’ sections. To my mind that’s a mockery of being “as the director intended”; one must surely doubt that a director would choose to switch ratios mid-movie (unless part of the film design, a la Oliver Stone, say, or the extraordinary genre-busting Spiderman into the Spiderverse).

It is not unheard of for newer films to have specific scenes that were shot in IMAX (and for those scenes to change aspect ratio accordingly when presented in an IMAX theater). One of the first search results on the topic:

https://www.avforums.com/threads/aspect-ratio-changing-durin...

Wikipedia goes more in depth on specific films and the amount of IMAX time in each:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMAX#Feature_films

As shooting in IMAX is expensive and difficult, we can presume this to be the director's intent.
I couldn't agree more and funny enough I created a conversation app at frenemy.live that helps with just this.
