Cheers! :)

> My understanding is that these targets are already meant to buy us enough time to get to net-zero emissions. I.e. that we're already at the point where we need comprehensive mitigations, and the time to buy more time was a decade ago.

That's true, and I don't actually think this finding lets anyone off the hook: we're all in this together.

> [the ultra-wealthy] have the most impactful per-capita changes to make for sure.

Exactly, and by a huge margin. Take me for instance: I'm a US citizen, so I'm in the top bracket globally for consumption and emissions (at any income level) but I don't drive a car and I have no children, I eat meat but it's locally and sustainably raised (e.g. not $1/lb rainforest-killing beef.) Realistically, there's just not that much more I can do to really make a dent in emissions.

(There's more I can do of course: grow my own food, install solar panels, etc. but those are marginal at best compared with, say, one person retiring their private jet and flying first class instead, not even foregoing all air travel!)

> I think enforcing those rules on them will also be the most difficult. They have the money and ability to re-flag ships, or to buy fuel from countries with lower regulations, or etc.

Well, I think that's why this article appearing in Bloomberg is notable: the wealthy live on the planet too, eh? It's their enviroment, eh? They can't all share New Zealand? I would hope they are as concerned and motivated to change as anyone else.

> I think it will take a global framework to enforce those rules on the ultra-wealthy, which takes a long time. If we wait for that to happen to start enforcing the rules on everyone, we're definitely not going to hit our Paris Accord numbers on time.

Sure but the question is what to do about that? I can spend my time trimming a few more units of personal emissions, or I can spend time campaigning to limit the emissions of the ultra-wealthy. It seems like the latter would be more promising, no?
Yes, but if you reduce natural gas use where there are alternatives, then you free it up for things where it's 100% necessary.
They did vote for them. I'm all for people suffering consequences for their political choices. Be it freezing to death or dying as combatants in their own countries.
TLDR: The primary scrolling used 8-pixel steps (based on 8x8 tiles), while the parallax scrolling was in 4-pixel steps just by using two (or 2x2) variations of the tiles. Also, the EGA hardware allowed copying tiles within video memory with four times the speed of memory accesses from the CPU, by operating EGA latch registers for the four bitplanes in parallel. The number of tiles on the screen where sprites and tiles and background partially overlapped, and therefore required slower drawing methods, was minimized.
Correct. This was known in advance that Russia will inevitably use natural gas for political reasons, but Germans weren't listening to "russophobic" Eastern Europe, instead they were actively trying to undermine Nuclear Power together with nuclear hypocrites from Austria (anti-Nuclear fanatics, suing everyone in EU who happens to have NPP, but has no problem to buy energy from Czech Republic NPP Temelin)
But that was when we had the majority of our industrial capability in Europe and with aid from the US. We also still had open coal mines and people didn't mind burning coal and wood in masses (which was the primary heat source at the time).

But, most importantly, we also had lots of young people. The aging of Europe will be the final nail in the coffin. Who will rebuild Europe? Not the roughly 30 percent over the age of 60 (who, coincidently, ran Europe into the ground for the last 30 years+).
In Europe, much fewer people live in houses, and thanks to the dense, walkable cities they enjoy, they have much fewer roof and yard space to put the panels. Also, unlike US, most of Europe doesn’t have huge swaths of hot and sunny plains that are currently not used for anything valuable. Look at the satellite view of Germany, France or Poland: it’s all farms, with occasional forests.
Yes but there are other pipelines (and they still continue pumping)
> The compiler would enforce Number-ness every time I try and run a function that takes a number, right?

> Wouldn’t I still have to check for NoScore?

No, because you differentiate between the sum type (e.g. Maybe in Haskell) and the number type at compile time. It's a small distinction - there will still be one or two places where you ask "is this a Maybe-score, or a Just-Score, or a No-Score", but the upside is that in all places you are very clear if a No-Score is possible, and you can't confuse the value with the error signal.

I.e. if you pass maybe-scores to something that computes the mean, you'll get a compiler error. The writer of the mean function doesn't need to care you've overloaded an error value onto your numbers.

The compiler support is the important part. Languages like C/C++ know sum-types just fine. They usually surface as sentinel values (NULL for ptrs, -1 for ints, etc) or unions with type fields. The stdlib offers it as std::optional<T>. As you progress along that spectrum, you get increasing compiler support there, as well.

One could even argue that sentinel values are a slightly better choice than Go's pairs, because they are closer to being sum-types than the strict product type that is go's (result, error) tuple - at least sentinels can't be simultaneously carrying a valid value and an error.
At least he didn’t use “Orc”, like they are thought in their propaganda schools for domestic audience. Ukrainian propaganda needs to become subtler if they wish any success here in the USA.
I assert most people <50 made their decision sans data analysis, if that's true then I'm above the mean in that regard.
Many of the comments here imply this article is about how to do parallax scrolling in general or think the article is suggesting Duke Nukem II was pioneering parallax scrolling. This is not what the article is about.

This article is about how Duke Nukem II specifically implemented drawing so that it could actually achieve playable framerates on EGA video cards and slow ISA buses, which were too slow to do a naive implementation.
the Great Filter is approaching
I suspect there are certain use cases for which low-code systems are well suited, and others where it will either not be expressive enough or will end up being so complex that it would be better/more easily expressed in code.

I spent a few years building data analytic systems for big telcos to reconcile switch and billing data. For this I used the tool my company was selling which was a visual (ugly but very practical) graphical node-based system. You pick the right type of node for a given (stream processing) need, make some configurations (including possibly adjusting the number of inputs and outputs), and then connect things together.

Many of the end results would have been reasonably simple to build in code by an experienced developer, but one of the key benefits of this toolkit was the ability to walk a client through the system, explaining what was going on. The visual nodes and connections were reasonably accessible to non programmers.

An added benefit of this kind of toolkit was the ease of discovering what the data actually looked like and seeing the effects at the output of each node. The outputs also had little number tags which provided surprisingly useful high level information: "How many records did we just cull from the source data with this filter?"

The challenge we encountered was in productionizing these systems. Sometimes they were just tools used to solve a one-time problem, but other times they were intended to become parts of a greater process. (In the latter case, I always felt we should just take the lessons learned and write the final product in code...)
To quote the python developers guide:

> Because of Python’s conservative nature when it comes to backwards-compatibility, when a module is added to the stdlib its API becomes frozen.

So it sounds like they do do something fairly similar, but just a different mindset on adding libraries
Buy on gog instead :) They don't DRM.
"normal prices" - such thing does not exist, because there isn't any "norm" in the markets. Markets develop.

Do you mean "pre-war prices"? They aren't going to come back anytime soon because the entire political and economic balance in Europe has changed and the prices already factor in the uncertainty.
What? From whom? How? Russia? Nuclear armed Russia?
> The perspective that it's "just produce rebranded RPMs" really undersells even something as significant as the amount of server power required to recompile all the packages.

Just wanted to clarify, I agree with you completely. I didn't anywhere perpetuate the unfair "it's just produce rebranded RPMs" (which is actually accurate, but trivializes the significant process involved in rebranding and rebuilding, hence IMO misleading). It's a significant amount of work. The time it takes is not unreasonable given the effort involved. That said, the amount of time was painful. I've never complained about it because I'm grateful for anything and everything they do, and I'm not complaining about it now. I'm recognizing the facts around speed of delivery, but in no way suggesting they aren't for a good reason.
We should all know our metabolic flexibility. But how do you know how much fat you can oxidize? It isn't easy to understand metabolism. I rely on a lactate test to figure it out.

From that graph it looks like it would solve the problem completely.

(cf. laproscopic bands and gastric bypass being incredibly effective at causing morbidly obese people to lose weight -- they're literally just making the stomach effectively smaller).

They are not that effective. the weight loss is often not enough or the weight returns. Gastric bypass, which is a major operation, will seldom make a very obese person thin and the weight tends to slowly return.
I have written very extensively on the evolution of the early patent system - I actually have a not-yet-completed, so far 9-part series on the context of the Statute of Monopolies - but you’ll be in for something of a surprise in Part III.

My understanding is that a significant amount of natural gas is being used for electricity generation. Generate that electricity from another source, and more gas will immediately become available for direct heating.

Of course we don't have the capacity to do that today, and that's the problem.

"I have Ukranian roots"

This must be the I'm not racist, I have black friends equivalent of supporting a fascist regime and calling for it to finish off a country with 44 million people. Given Russia's past and current scorched-earth policy this would be a genocide, if it's not already is.

Even if Russia finishes off Ukraine it would not go back to business as usual, they would still hold the rest of the world hostage with nuclear weapons, and a few years later they would just invade another country. They must be stopped, and stopped now.

not sure if my bills are too low or yours are too high.

i live in a large flat in London with my partner. fully electric, no gas, but the building was awarded for being ultra efficient.

i used to pay £60/month for the electricity in summer and £100/month in winter. now it’s £80 during summer. winter heating involves shorts and tshirt. usual amenities: large oled, dishwasher every day, washing machine every other day etc etc

> There is no alternative anyway - Russia is a fascist totalitarian state that declared war against Europe and is using gas a weapon.

sure, but inflation reached historical highs before the war even started:

luckily for the today’s politicians, Russia invaded Ukraine, so now they can point to Putin instead of analysing what they did wrong (spoiler: we actually know what they did wrong).
> just a small 2 person flat in a small town

> 1600€/year

Something really doesn't add up here. If your bill is so high, why haven't you done anything to mitigate it? Can you add insulation?

What's the temperature kept at in the heating months? How much would lowering it lower the costs? Is there a possibility of putting solar collectors on the rooftop and heating with hot water? Even in winter they can get water up to 35-40 Celsius, which is considerably higher than comfort temperature.
Yeah, I guess it reads like that's what I was implying.

I was just asking if original creators get a cut of the used price. I had seen discussions around that before, but didn't know if it ever became a thing or not. Just a simple question. Wasn't trying to be reductive and did not mean to piss in your cheerios this mornign

Played while growing up in crumbling to pieces Soviet Union in 1991. We'd regularly have 7-10 kids (I think 10 players max it supports) crowding in a little cubby room around our venerable 286 with turbo button. I don't know how we fit around it or how my parents really handled it all but we sure had a lot of fun.

Fast forward to now, and I played this game in an online emulator with my teenage sons, having just as much fun as back then lobby Funky Bombs and Baby Nukes at each other. My children love the Insult-On-Death mode and random wall actions. They have just as much fun with these tiny EGA pixels as with the modern graphics masterpieces like Elden Ring and Halo Infinite.
Ah yes about trump. I distinctly remember people rightfully laughing at him for his “clean coal” statements. Guess what country in europe relies heavily on “clean coal”?
If we wait for our grid capacity to improve before we transition, we'll be waiting for decades to come.

We need to quickly transition now to force the government to fund improved transmission and supply. Our governments aren't great at building things for future needs, but when your citizens are in danger of going without electricity, you bet your ass these politicians will do what needs to be done.

As an example, look at the mRNA vaccine development.
Do we really need to keep blaming hippies?

I've read from a few different places now that people who are part of Nordstream were powerful in German politics and had an incentive to push Gas over nuclear.

It's kind of amazing that Germany can make the biggest effort of any western country to switch over to renewables and when they start suffering because America and Russia decided they want a proxy fight, Americans opine that Germany should be suffering because they decided to switch off a source of 4% of their power and didnt build enough port capacity for overpriced American LNG.

If this truly is the official American line then Id be pushing to have American military bases in Germany shut down.
When ideology meets reality. Expensive, overbuilt capacity for Wind and Solar in countries with not much sun or wind for most of the year. Now with the declining Euro will make purchasing energy even more expensive. Fertilizer shortage and declining working age population. And threats to the free flow of goods across the world. Inflation is here to stay. It will be interesting to see how many governments fall in the next few years the way Sri Lanka's did.
True, but we do not have anything resembling WWII-levels of destruction on the vast majority of the continent, so the effort needed to get back on track is an order of magnitude lower. In 1945, Mariupols were everywhere.

And post-WWII Europe was forcibly split into competing power blocks, which strangulated a lot of the pre-WWII commerce. Contemporary EU is a common market where goods and workforce can freely flow. This compensates for the lack of young people somewhat.

For example, Germany post-WWII was seriously handicapped by the fact that they lost a large portion of their male population in war, either killed/maimed, or taken prisoner by the USSR which only let them return after 1950.
So a recent thing indeed. Living in São Paulo I never heard of jambu (I also do not drink alcohol, and apparently it is more interesting to consume with alcohol, so it might explain).
Yes, but the sanctions are obviously backfiring on Europeans and not hurting the Russians by any objective measure.

I agree on the transition, but where are the bids, construction, etc for new LNG terminals and other replacements?

All I see is "Putin bad" talk and no action on what's actually required. But hey, at least no more Russian athletes and violinists!

True – I'm definitely glad it's there, and I would totally use it for personal/casual projects where I likely won't have a fancy AWS/CircleCI/etc setup. At work though, its use would actually add to our bill and hold things up for teams.
Serialization formats that dedupe and perform other fancy processing trade increased CPU time for decreased memory usage. People who care about CPU time will want to measure the CPU time hit as well as the memory savings.

This format is also not interoperable without a decoding library, which kind of invalidates the comparison to JSON. If you're going to do this, why not just go full binary and save even more memory?

> who gets to collect vodka taxes in some East European town.

Is that what you think Russian expansion in those regions is about? It's not. Just like the current military expansion, those conflicts have been about acquiring and controlling natural gas and oil reserves in those regions.

This entire conflict has been about energy and it's been going on for the past decade or so because of relatively recent discoveries of fossil fuel reserves in these areas coupled with control over pipelines transporting these resources.

At the end of the day these struggles are about resources and fundamentally existential in nature. If Russia fails to acquire more reserves it will be on a sure path to absolute decline. This is why the nuclear threat should be taken seriously, if Russia where to lose this conflict entirely, they would be on the path to complete collapse. If pushed too far it makes absolute sense for Russia to take extreme options since they would be backed into a pretty severe corner.
It’s good you are honest with yourself about it. Unfortunately I don’t know what the solution is, if you find one let me know so I can pass on to my friends. I binge eat too; it’s just doesn’t take that much to get me full. If I had to eat more to feel full, I’d be fat too. Very few people have the willpower to stop eating while still hungry and with food in front of them.
I worked at EA for almost eight years as an SE individual contributor and it was honestly great. Don't get me wrong, the place had its issues, but from the perspective of my specific job, coworkers, work-life balance, benefits, etc, it was excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. But I think I really lucked out with my studio, line managers, and TDs. At such a huge company there will be a whole range of positive and negative experiences across locations and teams.

Edit: there was definitely plenty of overtime though. Just wanted add this to make sure I didn't paint an overly idealistic picture despite my overall positive experience.
