Nuts are much more expensive them milk and require a gasoline to be transported to places that are quite close to actual cows. Also, that thing you described does not sound like milk. More like rice with nuts mix.

I think it is even clearer that your comment is total nonsense.
Efficiency alone almost certainly will not allow us to avoid climate catastrophe, due to the Jevons Paradox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox When an activity uses less energy and therefore becomes less expensive, people tend to simply engage more in that activity, until they use more energy than they did before. One reason why is obvious from your attitude here: our culture considers life to be more luxurious and enjoyable when you can do and consume more stuff, and advancing the idea of doing/consuming less is considered backwards and not "useful".

Insulation at the scale needed to avoid climate catastrophe would require a massive international mobilization, along the lines of the Green New Deal and a Green Marshall Plan, to renovate all buildings everywhere before 2050. Sadly the political will to do this seems absent from almost every country, with a couple possible exceptions such as Chile attempting to rewrite their constitution to prioritize climate justice. Basically no countries are approaching even the inadequate Paris agreement targets.

And if you achieved such insulation, without other more drastic changes to our society, people would just run their AC/heat more to reach more luxurious temperatures, and we would not avoid any greenhouse gas emissions.

If air conditioning is top 3, blinds (the kind that actually keeps heat out, which you find in Mediterranean countries, not the shitty ones you put inside the room) are worth a Nobel prize.
the Burj Khalifa

The Burj Khalifa _is_ a certain marvel. Most interesting I find the way they conceived the foundations as a clever and effective system of friction. I must recommend the documentary hosted by Richard Hammond for the "Big!" series (2020), episode Tallest Building On Earth.

Probably in terms of occupied surface it is not that much, but some find it helpful when a construction (even "comparatively modest") is conveniently placed in an open air museum as big as a city.
Thanks for sharing this great story.
Couldn’t agree with this more. It blew me away on a way that no other building ever has
Ask HN: Are you using visual note taking (Sketchnoting) techniques?
I wonder how much of the HN readers are using visual note taking. How did you start and what is the approach you took at the beginning and how has it evolved over time.

Are you using analog or digital tools for it and generally speaking for what purpose you take the notes.

I am more referring to something along the line of:

Logging into a BBS as a kid was so cool. It felt illegal to get a phone number, dial it up, poke around, download whatever games they had, sometimes they had MUDs too. Then you'd look for new numbers to other BBSs.
That Thing You Bought Isn't a Thing, It's a Service
In my professional life, I have found that what I expect to be extreme is often less so. In addition to thinking difficult tasks are harder than they end up being, I have also found my estimation of simple tasks to under-consider the effort necessary. IMHO it’s another way of saying humans are bad as estimating.
You also get this reaction if you declare having eaten what I would call secondary meats (rabbit, duck, lamb).
In my experience Britain is an odd case. The school system’s main purpose seems to be to segregate people by class and to perpetuate the class system. One of the results is that “working class” people develop different accents and manners from people with other backgrounds. It takes ages to relearn how to speak and how to behave.

And stepwells, and latticework false walls, and high ceilings, and ventilators at the top of the house, and having a false-basement thing in houses where it's a bit cooler in the afternoons, and siestas and walking slowly from place to place, and loose-fitting linen clothing, and lemonade. But no. My shitty white plastic Carrier A/C is all I care about. Housing in the US is depressingly shite.
You learn large scale system design via real world application, being in the room when it happens, and from closely working with folks who are already practicing it. This kind of work is sometimes as much art as it is science, highly specific to the situation at hand and requirements of the system to be designed.

It absolutely bothers me that the resources out there are few and far between. It is hard to change that. I encountered occasionally resistance in organizations to share more openly the process, e.g. I suggested video taping it and uploading the video as a start. Naturally, plenty of confidential information can be disclosed in such design sessions, so enthusiasm about sharing recordings is rather low, even when everyone in the room agreed to be taped in the first place (which in itself is almost impossible).

I am bothered by engineering topics that have this „tribalism“ way of education. In networking one of these areas is BGP. No one lets you near Border Routing until you can do it perfectly, because of it potentially catastrophic impact (Pepperidge Farms remembers Pakistan Telecom hijacking YouTube!). When I tried to solve that one I ended up spinning up a whole ISP which’s sole purpose is to play with and break BGP. [1]

For system design I haven’t found a solution yet, ideas welcome. In the meantime, all you can do is read the little that is available (e.g. [2]) and try to talk to as many practitioners as possible, asking them to share or simulate a session privately.

You can usually work it out from the context of the person you know. If you have friends who invite you out ambiguously because they're into both motorcycles and horses, lucky you!
None of it makes sense, unless you assume that they are not very bright, or the actual goal is to dismantle the current civilisation due to malcontent stemming from the projection of personal issues.

I'm not sure what's your point. Apple makes local storage as expensive as possible/acceptable so that you buy more icloud storage for your files, photos etc and "stream" your content from the cloud instead to keep it stored locally. It's not secret that they see the "services" as being the biggest growth factor.
This tool is at the socket level, and used for developing distributed systems. The Chrome dev tool is just to demo the user experience of poor internet. They're very different use cases.
If I was to do a Java project today I would end up with more tools than I would with Go. I would need a build tool and code formatting but also a Linter and other things that the Go IDE plugin includes. They might be the most commonly used tools but the number of other tools out there that are less well served in newer languages is quite large. The most popular tooling is slowly making its way into languages making libraries and code generation easier. While old languages make this common tooling harder often just by having many choices they also often make less common and more obscure things a lot easier, because mature tooling exists where it doesn't in the new language yet.

Hmm, is this really about “selling out” though? Or is it about trust, and the deception inherent in taking money to say something that people could reasonably believe are your own words?
We still eat Pferdeleberkäse in Vienna, so I have to disagree with you there.
The second, it's a statement
An interesting side-effect although sadly not leveraged much in the US, and also little used in europe because of the stigma on AC, is that AC is a heat pump and heat pumps are reversible.

It’s finally gaining in popularity, and depending on weather conditions a modern heat pump can provide heating several times more efficient than straight up burning fuel even if you’re producing electricity from that fuel.

When your electricity is nuclear or hydro (or other renewables but that tends to be a bit sticky in winter) it’s manna.
It's useful in warm and humid climates. In warm and dry climates, a swamp cooler will beat the pants off of an airconditioner in damn near every metric you can think of.

So, sure, in the swamps of Florida, we should be OK with using the AC. But in the dry heat of Texas? Or southern California? Why doesn't America do even the simple things right? In city planning, in cooling, in HOA's dictating lawn upkeep and on and on and on.
There are plenty of other areas where size may actually matter, and Romans never complained.
Put some ink dots on a balloon and blow it up.

The surface is expanding fairly well uniformly, and the dots are getting further apart. Now if you did the same with a uniform spherical balloon that's inflating somehow, there's no center and no shape to the 2d surface.

Similarly you could be inside a giant cake as it's cooking. Any two raisins will be moving apart and this happens the same way near the middle or halfway to the edge (excluding temperature/pressure unevenness). Now if you make the cake bigger until you can no longer reach the edges it all works the same everyhwere in the cake.

If you take out the non-raisin parts, and the bit where you consider that there might be edges, and that the cake started already big rather than tiny, you get the universe.
Air conditioning has saved countless human lives.[0] It is one of our greatest inventions. I'm not sure this is the intention, but the sentiment expressed in this article, when adopted as policy, puts human lives at risk.[1] There is no iron law that we can either have clean energy or air conditioning, but not both. And as a consequence, there is no iron law saying that environmentalism must be anti-human.

How hard would it be to stabilise that API? My line of thinking is : sure maintaining a fork of the Linux kernel would be a huge amount of work, but would it be less than writing a new one and then maintaining that?
It's the first time I see a picture of edible meat and feel repulsed by it.

Interesting.

Bit of background about me: I really like horses. They're friends to me. I see why people eat them, but that just sounds wrong, just writing it.

I... I guess I understand why vegetarians don't like meat, now.
It is quite a meaningless rant.

"Letting the outside in" is pretty nice when the outside is within reasonable bounds, and you seem to be lucky enough to have that, but when the outside is 40C and above, or 99% humidity, it's just turning daily life to hell.

And yes, we can both increase efficiency and make sure the origin of electricity is from renewable source to make things better. It will consume more energy than not doing it at all, but believe me, ask anyone that lives in a place where the weather is at least a bit harsh (apparently not your case), the price is definitely worth it.

As for the rant about building shopping malls and parking lots, there's been quite a lot of development since the 90's. All the new projects I see popping up contain greenery and parks develop wild patches, and mega-malls are falling into disrepair.
That is my favourite speech ever, and the advise about finding what you love in life and business, is a truth so real that it doesn't matter how much of a platitude it is. The author obviously gave up on this search, and now seemingly wants other people to give up as well.
Most of this stinks of ISO27001 “by the book”, using some horribly rigid off the shelf ISMS to gain certification rather than creating something compliant that actually works for the org.

You definitely will on an 8GB machine under memory pressure. Which happens more often than people imagine if you are using a number of Electron Apps.
You would not succeed for a msc without proper knowledge of undergrad stuff at my uni.

The absurd overuse of AC seems like a peculiarity of the United States. Walk into an American household in the summer, and you find people watching TV with blankets or a sweatshirt because the temperature is so low. In the winter, the opposite is true: the house is overheated, so everyone wears short sleeves. You’re pretty much forced to do this in older apartment buildings where you have no thermostat and the landlord cranks the heat up to Saharan temperatures. The only way to regulate the temperature is to open windows, and that doesn’t always work well. Tell me that’s not wasting energy. Maybe start there if you want to actually contribute meaningfully.

Such a bizarre set of practices. The point of HVAC is to bring the temperature to a comfortable level while you wear season appropriate clothing, not to eliminate or invert seasonal differences.
The economic downturn definitely helped fascism in its last steps to power. But, it was far from the only factor in play. Great depression started in 1929, at that time Hitler had already putch attempt behind him and had considerable radial party. There was a lot of unrest already.

And similar goes with french revolution. The old regime was getting weak every day and unsustainable.
Whats the point of living if you never get to indulge in curiosity all the way down?
Yes, a very important principle. See also road building and induced demand.

Therefore we should be working to reduce supply of fossil fuels, to 'keep it in the ground'. If there is less to go round, then efficiencies will still be found but used to maintain what we had (as far as practicable) as opposed to increasing demand

Yeah, I thought I might not have made that clear. They were allowed to copy files onto the laptops, just not off them.

So with the wild cut&paste integration situation it meant that none of the actual developers could be aligned with the code that was actually being compiled because we could never update to the master copy.

The moment I realised that the terrible PM was doing diff by eye instead of, you know, using the diff tool, was when I should have walked away. I stuck it out way too long in retrospect.
Could be worse. The British used 'impressment' which was kidnapping random civilians at seaports and making them serve on Navy ships for indeterminate amounts of time. They even raided other ships at sea for men, including American ships! Part of the cause of the war of 1812.
The cooling gases in ACs also leak over time, and contain very strong greenhouse gases. It's not only energy use.

> b. Migrate off Google Photos. I take a lot of pics with my phone and google photos is just so convenient. I try to only keep six months of pictures on google and archive the rest to a machine that I own.

Not knowing why it's so convenient for you, have your tried syncthing for your images? You could write a cronjob on your machine that automatically removes old files from the synced folder as well.

> c. Google Movies/TV. I have a fair amount of bought content, mainly because its convenient to stream on a tablet. Not sure what the solution is there.

Just wait until your licensed content becomes inaccessible because google stops paying the copyright mobsters. You can then repurchase all that stuff without feeling bad about it.

Replying here with the data about "the worth of its size":

-- the very numbers reported here introductorily estimate a maximum of 80,000 capacity for the Colusseum, and

-- a search for "size of stadiums" shows that the Wikipedia page starts listing from 40,000 - up to 100,000 to 132,000 for just a dozen constructions, and

-- the Colosseum was built between 72 and 80 AD.

This must give an idea of the actual worth of the endeavour.
I just finished reading a book and took lots of notes. Now what?
Your cafe/album part makes it sound like a clear binary, but it was an enormous gradient spanning the entirety of pop culture and just about everybody seemed to rely on it for orientation. From the most pretentius "we would never" that was all top obviously more about getting an offer than about the claimed selling out, all the way to stadium rockers struggling to retain whatever the term "authenticity" meant to them or their audience.

The 90ies started with R.E.M. freshly signed on Warner instead of I.R.S. and ended with an absurd DAG of labels and sublabels and sub-sub-sub-labels (again, with the whole range from true grassroots independence to being part of one of the global media giants ten indirections deep), shortly before that entire monstrosity was put down by the onslaught of Napster, iTMS and so on.
We've been forcing interiors to be warm with technology for a million years, it stands next to the stone ax as our original invention.

Last century we figured out how to force interiors to be cool, reliably.

This must not be confused with the tendency to squander our unique gift of abundant energy. Places like Arizona could have houses with massive walls, arcades, all the refinements the Pueblo, Persians, and many others have brought to living in arid regions: and air conditioning, which is a wonderful invention.

If your solution to ecological crisis is to return humanity to immiseration, I reject that utterly. There are more dangerous things than warm weather and this attitude is prominent among them.

You are also buying a machine that will last substantially longer than most PCs costing less. If you can afford them, Macs are usually more cost-effective in the long run. I guess that makes it premium, but it’s not a high-end machine.
