Where has this water gone exactly? Freezing wouldn’t explain it. Is it lagged thermal expansion of the ocean water as it catches up to the air in heat?
No, they dislike official state propaganda which is blatantly and verifiably false, from an enemy, regardless of who promotes it.

yes, Russia is an enemy of the EU, and it's entirely Russia's fault. In a sense it has always been an enemy for a few EU countries like Poland and the Baltics. Nonetheless, the EU, and some specific countries in it, tried to placate Russia for a very long time, hoping that the same thing achieved by the EU (peace and prosperity through very close economic integration) could be achieved with Russia. It's fully on the shoulders of Putin and his cronies that it didn't work out, but at least thanks to his misguided actions Germany and others can finally move to get rid of natural gas.
It is kinda funny how Israel has not joined sanctions against Russia plus has provided exile for these Russian business people who have been pushed out of Europe and the US.
Blurring the lines is a senior engineer's job (though at a larger company, this may not happen until the next level up). It's how they grow the scope of what they deliver to the company.

I would be upset if a senior engineer told me that anything in the path of delivering the final product was not their job. Defining 'job' here as understanding something and communicating/helping address/fix with the appropriate team.
i remember this from my time at school, some 25 years ago now, and it was extremely unhelpful to education as well...

a lot of time spent explaining things like "how do i do something where i would normally right click?" or that the power button is this weird thing on the keyboard without the universal symbol for a power button on it... once they got some wintel machines from RM, another company that pushed at education, all of that went away and the lessons started becoming genuinely educational.
The primary limiting factor on plant growth is not generally CO2. You can know that by observing that CO2 is not really what fertilizers concern themselves with.

Water, nitrogen, and micronutrients, tend to be the big issues. Existing plants deal fairly well with around 200~250ppm CO2 because that's been the concentration for the last 20 million years.
More like a startpage. Remember those? At least here in Sweden in the late 90s and early 2000s startpages were a thing. A lot of people had some sort of startpage setup in their browser, either custom made, or one of the many online ones.
Stellate raises $25M to build a global CDN network based on GraphQL
Random sort meaning that sometimes a>b, other times a<b for the same values. Whatever algorithm a language's built in sort implements probably assumes that comparisons are consistent. I remember checking a few versions of perl and some created a core dump iirc.
In some organisations where many customer-facing employees are fairly IT literate, yup, definitely.
Considering the utter shitshow that is any kind of political system, modern democracies included, I am frankly surprised that we are tackling this at all, even if it 99% appearance and 1% substance.

Anyway politicians to "lead" need a mandate from voters and to lead in a direction good for the climate they need to be able to take the heat for extremely unpopular policies. Unfortunately in the systems where unpopular policies can get through the leaders have the tendency to exploit that for their own gain rather than for sustainability sake.

I believe it won't change until the situation will become so obvious and tangible that something will be done to mitigate it.
I believe malware authors were using google alerts as an alarm system, so the hash functionality is probably gimped on purpose.
I believe there is a deep disease of extreme and growing wealth inequality, whose symptoms are erupting in every area of our way of life. This is a good example. In a more wealth equal society you're financial motivated to build good products for all users. Now the entire system is geared to the whims of the rich
Those issues are 100% the reason I would never move the US. Immigration system complexity doesn’t even factor into it!

I earn probably half what I would in the US (and pay far more tax on what I do earn)
> Not toilet paper, but micro processors, production lines, raw materials, for example

Who is hoarding processors? The predominant driver of the current shortage is the auto industry pulling orders in the early pandemic and then raging back into gear. The only people stockpiling are groups like Huawei, and they aren't "hoarding" nearly enough to influence global prices.

Broadly speaking, when a politician blames hoarding, it's a dead giveaway for deflecting from a systemic issue. The culprit is usually price gouging laws, which discourage holding emergency reserves. In this case, it was just a global supply chain system stressed by demand dynamism and stimulus spending.
The ozone problem was relatively easy.
Sadly this will never fly without jailbreak due to apple's ban on emulators and the like.
> OSM stores maps as graphs, in flat files where each line is either a node, an ordered list of nodes, or metadata. The graph nodes can be arbitrarily ordered in OSM files, which leads to computational complexity when parsing them. This is not a bad thing, since it means that the spec for OSM files can be extremely simple, which makes it easy for people to contribute to OSM.

That's actually a sensible design. Treat user-facing stored data as user interface. If you need efficient processing of that data, such as fast parsing, you can always build it elsewhere, such as by caching that data into an intermediate structure that is recompiled whenever the user data changes.
The proposed improvements would obsolete a bunch of problems such as broken polygons [1] which happen regularly. They would also make processing OSM more accessible without needing to randomly seek over GBs of node locations just to assemble geometries which takes a significant runtime percentage of osm2pgsql.

For me Steve Coast lost his credibility when he joined the closed and proprietary what3words.

Only the tiny minority of "very online" people ever thought it was mainstream in the first place.
Really it's both. The leaders find stories the voters respond to, which gives them power. The leaders find and exploit a flaw in the voters which the voters are happy to expose.

The leaders should speak truth and act in the common interest. The voters should love the truth rather than lies, and should be mature enough to own their mistake rather than seek fairy tales in which their selfishness is good, even heroic.

Also, the voters in the US aren't uniquely bad. It's just that there's a deep cultural fissure in the US which is ripe for exploitation. It's easy to make the voters prefer punishing their neighbors over any other goal.
US and EU emissions are down a quarter in the past 15 years. And world emissions have likely peaked (or at worst are in the process of doing so). If the world does nothing more proactively, warming will be limited to less than 3C, based on best estimates. That's still bad for many people and places, but it's probably not world-ending bad.

Governments taking further action will further mitigate the problem and might save places like Miami. That's the opportunity here that humanity isn't really taking advantage of.
Shame lots of plants have been cut down in the lungs of the earth, the rainforests of South America.
Factory-made homes cut carbon emissions by 45%
There is a set of ‘compose’ operators in pidove that can not only compose functions but also let you put a bifunction or supplier at the beginning of the chain or put a consumer at the end.

For it to really shine I need to add more versions of the compose function with different lengths, but I am working on a code generator that will be able automatically generate those to arbitrary length.
Oddly enough, I was out walking on Wanstead flats in East London this weekend and commented just how many flocks of noisy starlings there were about. Not mumuration size (I go to Brighton for that) but flocks of a hundred or so.
Of course people shouldn’t be paid more just because they spend more time in the office. But if they also get more done, and learn more, then what’s wrong with that leading to better pay and more opportunities?

If you value other things over work but are incapable of making that choice if others are rewarded for hard work, then that’s your problem. Seek therapy or something.
If videos had to match the field of vision, and this was the audience's primary concern, I'd 100% agree! I think it's close to their primary concern when watching something like a nature documentary or a historical drama or playing a video game where you walk around a landscape. Vertical video has convinced me that you can tell some kinds of stories and convey certain kinds of info without using deliberate backgrounds, people standing next to each other talking, and people moving around. In vertical video you see a lot of cutting between two people, people talking about being in an environment that does not match their background, or one person playing multiple people. You don't need to learn pesky blocking or how to act with your body. Things that used to seem static, like giving a lecture while standing still, can seem reasonably dynamic. You can just focus on the human face. It's an option with pros and cons and it will encourage certain kinds of uses
The author mentions:

> I miss Away Messages. This nostalgia is layered in abstraction; I probably miss the newness of the internet of the 1990s, and I also miss just being … away.

The difference is that Slack has a mobile app so when you step away from your computer, you’re not really “away” like you used to be before smartphones were a thing.

Yes, you can disable notifications or try to ignore them, but that’s not the author’s point. I read it more as them longing for “a better time,” similar to an expression of nostalgia for the simplicity of one’s childhood.
I was thinking about this the other day. The learning curve for git isn’t steep at all, because it’s possible to learn git so slowly. It’s possible to use git with any level of proficiency. If you had to sit down and “learn git” before you could use it, that would be brutal and we would be using something else.
Frozen in glaciers and poles, I would assume...
If this gets popular enough and lots of users start demanding it, then apple will edit their policy.
My understanding is that it can take on the order of weeks to months for prices at the yard to be reflected at retail.
I don't see what's wrong with this. Microsoft and Google are paying to educate people on their products. There is nothing inherently evil about Office or Google Docs. There is no lock in contract, and it isn't that hard to switch later. And the schools/students benefit from a cheaper education than if they had to pay full price.
I'm always at a loss about people arguing about CO2. Like there is a single graph to rule them all - a so called Keeling Curve, is is freely available to all, it is always monitoring and it is NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL to derive any conclusion from looking at it, other than we are heating the planet fast. Also it is painfully obvious that ALL so called "green" technologies are either fake or not impacting climate at all (especially those "carbon neutral" ones are def. scam, just shuffling emissions like a hot potato game, to other corporations or countries).

The rate of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing every year and the rate of increase (acceleration) is also only increasing every year. It takes one minute to confirm this :)
he used a gigantic and elaborate framework/engine filled with cruft... so i doubt that was the thinking here.

Exactly. Ownership of a certain scope.

A better use of this would be to run one of the Linux mobile OSes - for example, Sailfish OS which has tablet support too (would be great on an iPad).
It’s like when people say there’s no such thing as altruism, and everyone will cheat, steal, or worse given the opportunity - they are telling you a lot more about themselves personally than they realise.
It's a combination of melting of glaciers and ice-caps and thermal expansion of water as it warms:

You could start a nonprofit to pay people around the world to plant trees. Nothing's impossible if you get off your butt and work at it.
It would be nice to show the data in the tables as graphics too, perhaps log-log so it's easier to see all the points.

In the first table:

Benchmark Time CPU Iterations
-------------------------------------------------------------
BM_ListFind/8 2824 ns 2825 ns 247103
[...]
BM_ListFind/8192 3758778 ns 3758624 ns 204
[...]

the last column makes no sense. Is that an error sorting the data or I'm misunderstanding what it mean?
>Of course they can work around it by not having P2W. Its that simple, really. How about make a damn good game and sell it?

Because the average player is not going to pay $100 for a game. Also, now you're lumping P2W and gambling together.

But all of this is beside the point. If you do not like games like this then you shouldn't play them. I want to still be able to play the games I choose. I don't need the government to try to "protect me" from this.

Do I like that games do this? No, but I can always choose not to play them. If people chose to not play them then they wouldn't monetize games like this, but it's pretty apparent that people are okay with this. You want to use force via the government to stop those people from doing something they want to do and using "it's for your own good" as an excuse.

Games will absolutely shut out countries where they feel that handing regulation is too much for them. This will include games that don't conflict with the regulation, but it's simply too risky to figure out whether they do or not.
I mean it'll never fly due to apple's ban on apps modifying the kernel.
Imagine you are made one of the politicians in the waffling party. Say you find the politician whose stated preferences most closely match your own. They step down. You take their place. What will you do now to ensure the wafflers stop waffling?

The problem isn't that they choose to waffle, but that their power is on a knife edge when they have any power at all and they disagree about what to do.
I’ve done similar benchmarks some time ago for Java with exactly same conclusions. Due to the way CPUs reads and caches memory the only case for linked lists is doing a lot of in the middle inserts and deletes while iterating the list.

Array copying is really optimized on current hardware.

So is water. Trees simply do not grow if they not have water to generate new bark. We've had severe (for German standards) droughts the last few years here in Germany. All in all, the climate forecast for the upcoming years is currently: Less rain in the summer and more rain in the winter, which is also bad [1].

I take it twitter will be full of pictures showing what deflation looks like, with "March" next to a small bit of wood and "Today" next to far more wood?
I'd claim one party is accelerating the fire, while the other is secretly stacking firewood next to the fire while also complaining that the other is using it.

That said, human ingenuity and economic forces are starting to stem the global warming tide, despite what governments are doing.
Cloud services (and networking in general) still depend on these low-level skills, plus with the increased scarcity of VC money companies might actually start to be cost-conscious and do things in-house again instead of burning money by offloading it onto the cloud.
Lol. I remember still having faith in Apple.
If you get developers who get stuff done well - sales people have so many stupid ideas that implementing these would hurt my brain.

Imagine implementing everything that pushy sales people throw at developers.

I only agree that "code is a grunt work" is wrong simplification but picking out which code is really valuable to write is still in my opinion much more important than just slinging out code.

My idea is that there is no "work smart or work hard" - first you have to make sure code to be written is valuable and then you work hard to code it.
> Freezing wouldn’t explain it.

Pretty sure freezing is exactly it — Greenland and Antarctica contain lots of water stored well above sea level. These fluctuated a lot worth sea levels.
The graph is not the sole reason we think the planet is heating.

If it was just the graph, there would be other possible interpretations. (You know, causation vs correlation and all that). However we have more than just a graph to confirm climate change.
Someone gets it :-)

Some things were lost, yes, and some things were gained. My list included both types of things.

Some things are lost again with the move to streaming and, again, some things are lost.

I was uncomfortable with the idea that the meta musical aspects of one milieu were shallow and that the music should be something that can essentially survive being stripped of them if it was ever of value at all.
I'd say it's even odds which will expire first, the app compatibility or the non-replaceable battery in the standalone unit.
A lot of it is in the glaciers of Antartica, which cover the whole continent with around 1900m of ice. They weren't created from seawater freezing, but from snow getting packed down. But the water will go into the ocean if they melt.
Postgres is not every system. Just because it requires manually refreshing matviews doesn't mean that every DBMS works that way.

Seriously, read a textbook:

Short term certainly, long term it's harder to predict: warmer air also has a much higher moisture carrying capacity, thus the cascading changes in weather patterns could also lead to better water circulation over and to currently dry areas.

For instance the sahara was extremely dry (even more than currently) during the last glacial maximum, the african humid period started with the Bølling–Allerød warming / Late Glacial Interstadial (and as its name indicates, greened up the sahara area).

Then it dried up again with the cooling of the Younger Dryas, before humidifying again at its end.

It also underwent a dry spell during the 8.2kYa "cold event", before the african humid period ending entirely during the 4.2kYa aridification event (which seems related to the Bond Event 3).
It was the same with ICQ. You could sent messages when someone was offline or away but it didn't showed up on their screens until they've switch to an Online status.

Sorry if this sound dismissal, but Ferraris are a cash cow too.

People like to buy them.

Research shows that there are 80+ apps installed on the average smartphone. But with that said, people aren't using all of those apps. The average person uses 9 mobile apps per day and 30 apps per month.

Most of them are games, the apps people can't live without are ~15 and are made by largest brands of social media platforms and e-commerce

They have the resources to make the same high quality apps on every platform.

In my view Apple users will keep using Apple by the force of habit, Apple users will perceive lower quality in Android ecosystem, because there's more choice.

Also, on Android there are a lot of open source apps that are uglier but work exactly as intended, no ads, no phone home etc

If you go to a Bang & Olufsen shop and then to RadioShack the perception is of a lower quality, which is probably true, but who needs bang & olufsen headphones to listen to a 64kbs podcast while driving to work?

they're all some variation on rent-seeking behaviour, they just vary in the form rent takes, and how they put the product in your hands in the first place

more modern iterations often don't forcibly take the rent, but use social pressures to coerce their userbase to the point where a % "voluntarily" pay rent. some still do forcibly take the rent.

the end result for you is a product in your hands, nearly always for cheaper than it would have been 15 years ago, but at either a lower quality, or a higher future cost

the end result for the "landlord" is almost a guarantee of projected earnings

And yes, it is as dire as it sounds. My children are breathing 1/3 more CO2 than my parents were at the same age. But it's not the breathing that is a concern (not until we get above 1000 ppm at least), but rather the warming. There is significantly more sunlight energy being trapped in the biosphere today than there was two generations ago.
I am not actually sure. Skimming through the documentation the process seems to sound largely similar, but I'm not sure if there are technicalities or waiting periods that get revealed only after you start.

There is some information about starting a company as a foreigner from the tax office here (in English): https://www.skatteverket.se/servicelankar/otherlanguages/ine...

This page (in Swedish) compares the different processes a bit, and it just sounds like you have an easier time using the Verksamt e-service if you have a Swedish personnummer.
