The radiative forcing from anthropogenic CO2 in the atmosphere (if the negative forcing of aerosols is accounted for) amounts to up to 1000 Terawatts (TW). This compares to 20 TW of annual human energy production. CO2 removal using heat engine technology is destined to be a drop in the bucket.

No, Apple games did not flicker. We used screen swapping to stop that. It's the first lesson I learned as a video game programmer: flicker not allowed.

I don't know what your deal is with the word "awkward." As someone who wrote a lot of games on Apple, C64, and one each on the PC and Amiga, I've earned the right to use whatever innocuous word I want to describe a vague feeling that I have. Mind you, all that more than 35 years ago. Perhaps I am misremembering how non-awkward it all was. I did not do anything with the Atari. I was merely told by my boss and friend Dale Disharoon how strange he found it.

Yes, we liked the C64 collision detection. The main awkwardness about the C64 was, at the time I was first working with it, that it was all undocumented. I just think it's awkward to call information to get the phone number of a writer of a magazine article in Toronto to find out how to work the vertical blank interrupt, since there was no reference manual at that time. The Amiga manuals were full of errors when they first came out.

I suppose I am a lazy learner. As you can read all about in my book about being a high school dropout, published by Simon and Schuster (get your copy in Korean today!). Also see page 60 of this issue of Compute Gazette (https://archive.org/details/1983-11-computegazette/page/n59/...).

Both the sperm and egg are "alive" so no "life" does not begin there. Any sperm and egg combination together is a unique genetic sequence, both before and after conception. This also cannot be a unique "person" because identical twins form after conception into two unique people. Same with clones, the same genetic sequence does not make a unique person, what ever personhood is comes later, it is a potential person just like a sperm and egg is before conception.

There is no single bright line I can find, as I said any line drawn is arbitrary to satisfy law. I believe Roe to be a good multistage compromise based on trimesters, you believe conception to a be a single line for the law, neither has any scientific or religious basis. During biblical times "quickening" was thought to be when ensoulment occurred, first movement.

>If you design a game, you also design the space of possible games that can be played (the game tree). You can also determine a function on the space of these games to label some as 'good' and others as 'evil'. When you create players of the game and they choose to go down an 'evil' tree was that your fault?

As god you didn't just create the game, you created the laws of physics that allows the game to exist and the players themselves. God designed our brains and how we make decisions.

This isn't a fancy argument this is very simple, did god create everything or not (including evil) and does he know everything or not (including what choices we will make)?

Again its seems rather stupid to blame your own designed creation for making choices that you know they will make in a universe you created for them with laws of nature designed by you. This makes no logical sense unless there is outside influence to allow for surprising choices. Either god understands exactly how everything works because he created all of it, or he doesn't and can be surprised by bad choices and blame this "agency" that comes from somewhere outside of himself.

>If you want to live in a society with no retributive justice that's a fair and even perhaps logically consistent viewpoint but it isn't one that Christians share.

Of course I don't, but it's not hard for me, I don't believe in an omnipotent god that designed me just to punish me for making incorrect choices. There seems to be uncertainty baked into all things that creates agency and choices matter, I have personal responsibility for my choices because they affect the world around me, this is logical. I don't believe things are predestined or known ahead of time nor that some super being designed me and is judging me for how I perform in their sandbox, it is a ridiculous illogical notion.

These are not things just anyone can just jump into. Making it sound like so just diminishes how truly difficult these problems really are.

These solutions require deep industry knowledge and buy-in, deep understanding of the problem space, and deep pockets to front unproven technology that nobody will adopt until it solves their problems better than the current solutions.

ie. you are not going to revolutionize mining just because you want it to be more green. It doesn't matter how much money have, and how many domain-novices you employ. The mining/farming/manufacturing/whatever industry will not even entertain your product unless it's objectively better.

No industry actually cares about being more environmentally friendly at the trade off of reduced production and efficiency, or increased costs - all things that come along with unproven technology developed by people that had little-to-zero understanding of that industry's problems in the first place.

Apple II games didn't flicker, but exhibited tearing because there was no indication of the vertical retrace: no I/O pin or interrupt, nothing.

I don't remember a lot either and am searching for this now. It looks like the Apple IIe added a bit at $C019 for detecting vertical retrace, but the II+ and earlier didn't have it.
I would normally have supported you without reservation, but after the shooting in Oslo, Norway last weekend - two killed, about twenty harmed, Pride/the LGBTQ+ community was probably the target and all Pride arrangements in most major cities are cancelled/delayed (50 year anniversary for decriminalization of msm) - I am less optimistic

The shooter has multiple convictions for violence, is treated for paranoid schizophrenia, had known relations to a radicalized Islamist community, and was interviewed by the security service in May. He had about every red flag you can think of. Yet, he was able to get access to a an automatic weapon of some sort, despite the regulations having become stricter after the terror attack in 2011
Anything but renewables brings global catastrophe and civilization collapse nearer.

Collapse of civilization would deliver a kind of energy independence, but maybe not the kind you want.

Power from renewables is so radically cheaper than anything else ever known that not building it out as fast as possible costs strictly more. That building out renewables fast enough might fend off global catastrophe is an extra benefit.

Building nukes would steal capital from building out renewables.

> “If everybody else is doing better than you, it is hard to be satisfied with your life conditions, no matter how good they objectively are,” he wrote. “By not displaying, let alone exaggerating, their own happiness, Finns might help each other to make more realistic comparisons, which benefits everybody’s happiness.”

Robert Sapolsky has dedicated a large chunk of his career to study the biological underpinnings for this and has written a great deal on it. His research shows that if you compare health outcomes in countries, accounting for all differences in access and care, relative inequality itself causes significant bodily harm as important as material inequality. The induced stress in a population from the hamster wheel mentality literally changes peoples brains.

It's not surprising that actors and actresses even if successful suffer the same fate because they live in a sort of cauldron where that competitiveness and status seeking is dialed up to 11. The drug use, marriage disasters, meltdowns and constant rehab visits that a non-trivial amount of them go through make a lot of sense in that context.

Common trope everywhere honestly. Technology Connections speaks of it in the "but sometimes!" video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiYO1TObNz8 where LED lighting in traffic lights is meeting resistance¹ because sometimes it freezes/snows over. It's efficient, so no more heat to keep itself snow-free. Oh no, says the general public, we can't install that! Of course a little resistance heater is primitive technology, cheap to add, and it takes about two brain cells to realize that sometimes not being better than incandescent is still better than always using incandescent, yet still it's apparently a thing to work through. Not a problem exclusive to HN

I get the value of using native clients but the interface design would be a hurdle for me. For example, the message window has no visual hierarchy. The spacing between each message and the space between the username and message content are nearly the same with the font size being the same— just with a heavier weight. Without being able to easily visually separate each message into a block, it just looks like a bunch of lines of text when you first look at it. It's tough to see without looking for it, but the Slack client is fantastically visually parsable. It fits a whole lot of functionality in there with very little interface clutter.
> Not so quick. Does a layman have any reference point to what is considered "a lot" of carbon?

I don't think a comparison to another producer of carbon would actually help a layman. Whether that is a lot or not would depend on the cost and energy used by the plant itself, which isn't really given in this article.

> That may be so, but this still doesn't make this a good use of that surplus.

Why? Suppose there is no other demand for that energy. What is actually wasted in that case? How do you measure what is "good"?

> each commit points to their parent. Therefore, you don't need to track the entire sequence of commits in the branch but just the commit at the tip.

This is not entirely true, because it is perfectly possible to create commit graphs in git in which there is not a single well-defined branch for some commits. So just knowing the branch labels at each tip is not sufficient to assign a single well-defined branch to every commit in the graph.

Mercurial branches don't work like this: they are actually stored as part of each commit, so even with ambiguous commit graphs each commit still has a well-defined branch.

How many of you are getting offers for a job where you don't know the language being used AND have less than 5 YOE?

My take on this type of study is that it's extremely noisy. There are tons of job ads that list 3-5 langs. These are basically recruiter dragnets and there are many of these postings out there. Of course JS would be listed in most.

I think this data would be more useful if we can filter by lang count in the job description. 1-2 langs I get, but more than 3 would be a red flag. It could be causing heavy bias.
Representation works like the phone game, every extra layer of of representation distorts the original will of the voter and weakens the democracy.

Politicians try to minimize the power of voters to maximize their own power, and therefore love adding more layers, enabling things like gerrymandering etc. Those problems exists in the US system, but most EU countries avoids those problems, so to EU citizens moving to the American model is a huge step in an undemocratic direction.
Many of these things didn't deliver that, though. You deposited your preferred form of magic beans, and they were supposed to give you 20% magic beans on them. Instead, well, they hung onto your magic beans, without even a cow in return.

The most egregious ones, the ones who basically had a "Hello we are a scam" banner on their website, did sometimes require people to use their _own_ form of magic beans, but that wasn't typical.

With most human endeavours people need to be able to do both. Having no context switching, and only deep work is going to lead to outcomes that are divorced from the reality of the business.

These kinds of divisions were tried in the middle of the twentieth century when all big companies had dedicated research divisions: think Bell Labs. While the technology outcomes were often spectacular, very little money, if any, were made from these divisions.

On the other hand, if all you do is context switching and busy work, then the organisation will never grow and move forward, forever bound by the whims of the market.

In my experience, most IDE users don’t know that Emacs is effectively an IDE that can do all of the same things, and even more. When you show them, then the complaint is that it’s a hassle to configure, and I don’t really know what to do with that. I like configuring my text editor.

I’ve worked with tools my entire life and the main difference between Emacs / VI and other IDEs is they’re tools you can hone infinitely and truly make an extension of your mind, as opposed to IDEs which more fit the “choose the best tool for the job” mentality, which I appreciate, but does not apply to text editing to me because of how Emacs / VI shifted my mindset.

Emacs still feels 1000x more modern to me than any IDE, especially VS Code. And I agree that text editing / better IDEs really are not the problem in software development.

For HN readers, section 21 eviction means a landlord can send a "no fault" eviction notice to their tenant at (almost) any time, and the tenant must leave fairly quickly (2 months), which is not long enough to plan around.

As a result, no tenant is secure where they live. I would guess most people who do not own property have had to move several times with little notice, usually to another area of town because it's not that easy to find somewhere else nearby at short notice. This can be particularly rough on families because it means the children must change school, and on people with care needs because their (typically unpaid) carers who live nearby don't live nearby after the move. And it's just generally shitty to be unable to settle into a community long term anywhere.

The move to remove section 21 in its current form (set the bar higher for a landlord who wants to reclaim the property), is a tenants' rights move. It's disagreeing with the parent comment that a person (or a corporation such as a pension fund) who owns properties should be able to do "whatever they want, whenever they want" because that results in unacceptably bad living conditions for tenants, who almost universally have no choice about being tenants, and no alternative type of tenancy available to them.

One of the most obviously questionable aspects of section 21, which would be easy to change without harming reasonable landlords, is that a landlord can evict a long-term tenant for no reason just to replace them with a different tenant, just because they feel like it. There is no requirement that the landlord intends to use the property for something else.

In practice, because these evictions are easy and common, sometimes they occur because the property agent (intermediary between landlord and tenant) feels like it, because it nets the property agent some extra fees to start a new tenancy. Sound unlikely? It happened to me a few years ago where I am currently living. It's only because I accidently met a representative of the landlord that we realised the property agent had lied to both of us, and the landlord intervened to let me renew!

Since they didn't directly convert it happened at a later point - nurture as the author suggests.
