So: pass the URL to FB to decode to canonical value, and return that for further operations (share, copy/paste, etc.).

This would have to be through an extension or an internal browser function.

The canonicalisation request would have to be w/o the initial person's FB identifiers as part of the request (e.g., cookies, etc.). FB might cotton on to immediate re-requests after URL provision, though that would be an interesting approach and yet further signs of expressly violating expressed intent.
Might. Not achieving climate goals Might. It's projection, supposition, extrapolation. Very likely true, absolutely, I won't argue that at all, but it's still a Might. We will know if it Did only after the fact.

Right now, though, we know what Does Currently save lives. There is no dispute. Those same things Might also be bad in the future.

To put it more clearly, killing today to save the future is a tough argument.

Good point. I disagree for my own preference but I don’t doubt that you’re right that many people would rather get the gist of the issue. I’m a numbers person but I know many aren’t (which is perfectly fine — neither way is inherently better).
You wouldn’t scrub the CO2. You would use an Energy Recovery Ventilator or Heat Recovery Ventilator to supply fresh air without impacting air conditioning too much.

Or if the temperature is right, just open a window.
Okay but I also question the real motive behind posting something like “this is what I believe and I’m not interested in debating it”. Why post something like that in a space that is meant for debate and discussion?
Thanks! I've also noticed that the pie chart re-rendering is quite busy and visually distracting. But javascript is by far my weakest layer in the whole stack so I've struggled to fiddle with it without breaking it :)
Are we talking about randomly selected houses? I believe the conversation is around large groups of houses utilizing solar and at that scale, it is objectively good.

There were a couple ways you could have made it easier, but Scratch's constraints and abilities can be hard to navigate or understand. Like you can use Say, or a visible variable, and I think the drawing extension would work too.

I tried to do a different guessing game, not much more complicated, but it does get hard... I wrote up some thoughts in a thread: https://twitter.com/ianbicking/status/1546207554665172992

It's good that Scratch doesn't change that much, there's lots of books and traded wisdom that retains its value as a result, but there's also some big missing pieces that make some things very hard to write in Scratch, and they could be improved upon but they aren't
Construct3 isn't just for kids - it's capable of making "real" games.

I did a little fun coding on it and it's really great - I recommend Construct3 to anyone wanting to make a simple game with kids or a sophisticated game.

Construct 3 is miles ahead of Scratch - really not even a comparison.

I never quite understood this, as housing is generally a market you can’t exit. So what’s the long term investment goal, to buy big now and downsize later for a profit?
There is a similar effect for bitumen roads - cities choose a grade of bitumen for the range of temps that they are going experience - you're stuck between it all getting too sticky and cracking in the cold - too big a range and they make concrete roads.

Global warming leaves some cities (like mine) with an enormous inventory of roads that are failing when temps reach the (new) top end
Wow, that's insanity. Have you ever thought about making a simple single page app showing comparative stats? I'm curious how other major cities like LA and Chicago stack up.

CO2 concentrations are an ongoing topic of debate. There are studies that show no measurable cognitive changes up to CO2 concentrations in the thousands of PPM, while other studies seem to show cognitive changes at much lower amounts.

I tend to think that people with CO2 sensors tend to over-focus on CO2, when really what they’re feeling is the general stuffiness of a room. CO2 isn’t the only thing that accumulates in the air in an enclosed space, but once you have a CO2 meter in hand you might think it’s the only thing that matters.

That said, CO2 levels can be used to somewhat estimate the amount of rebreathing going on in a space. That is, the amount of air that you breathe in that has been exhaled by someone else. It’s not entirely pleasant, which can explain why people feel like they don’t like high CO2 levels

For our liveview project, a lot of the bugs we find are edge cases in the pattern match. We find the bug in appsignal, build another arity match and go on with our day. It's pretty cool.

I've been working in Elixir exclusively since 2016. I do think a lot of the Let It Fail is just marketing from Elixir (and BEAM) but there is a lot of truth in it. In reality you will most definitely not write everything under an explicit supervisor. You will just see errors in function clause matches and add another arity.

In response to your tangent, I’ll note that this took place in one of the reddest states in the US. This isn’t endemic in the tech industry so much as it is in large corporations. Check the back office of your largest suppliers and you’ll hear similar stories.
Fuzzing works very poorly.

It's expensive, it's rarely performed correctly, the actual signal still exists within the noise and can generally be determined.

I'm not saying "don't try", but really, don't bet your life (or anyone else's) on it.
I've spent a fair amount of time with Scratch, enough to say I understand the language pretty well.

The primary game I've created during this study:
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/575241838/fullscreen/
Here you can design a level and let a friend pass it - destroy all the bricks.

In Scrath you hit language limitations all the time. The Scratch designers say it is so to be friendly to beginners, however the need to invent crazy tricks to achieve simple things is not actually friendly.

IMHO, it is better and simpler to teach children using more normal languages, consisting of a small set of well composable elements.

The Snap! is an extended reimplementation of Scratch, but prvides power approximately equal to Scheme: https://snap.berkeley.edu/
However, I haven't used it much since I need development support on tablet, which is not complete in Snap.

I also tried Lego Boost and Lego Technics - the coding experience is basically the same as in Scratch, but for teaching programming Scratch is better I think, because you can create interesting things without the need to connect to devices. And not much you can build from lego motors and sensors.

And the last I explored was the Castle mobile app. A couple of games I created:

https://castle.xyz/d/l-_oFKrf5?cxshid=yjIUmDcFo
https://s.castle.xyz/qZbz0u2nK10

The coding experience is worse then Scratch in my opinion (especially on Android were the Castle app has a redraw bug, so that the menus you invoke are not visible until you manually initiate a redraw by switching to Android app list and back to the Castle app). But the advantage is 2d physics support - they wrap the Box2D engine.

Also, I think the Elevator Saga is a good idea for learning. And it's just javascript. https://play.elevatorsaga.com/

>I suspect we're setting ourselves up for a situation similar to what happened with wildfire management

That is complete nonsense. Permanent money is always in disequilibrium, by avoiding interventions that result in temporary equilibrium you basically just get stuck with opportunity costs. You should rather question why we have modelled money to be permanently in disequilibrium so that it constantly requires interventions to keep it alive until its inevitable collapse. Permanent money is guaranteed to collapse because of its structural disregard of the real economy so the best you can do is keep it alive as much as possible, liquidationism just shortens the lifespan of your permanent money system.

Isn't it quite ironic that permanent money systems don't last very long? It is particularly amusing that everyone thinks that permanent money collapses because of government meddling when it collapses on its own just fine. The best part is that people keep repeating the permanent money experiment over and over again over the last two thousand years and they all reached the same conclusion: it doesn't work in the end but we will do it again

Isn't it ironic that money that abandons permanence can essentially last forever?
Buildings tend not to be built exclusively in brick or stone and even when they are tend to be held together with mortar. Even brick and stone are susceptible to water intrusion and a bunch of other things. For example freeze-thaw is a very natural cause of erosion of stone. Vegetation is another common cause of undermining those sorts of structures.

Of course some materials last longer than others but that doesn’t make the resulting structures habitable.
Look Ma!

You'd junk so much money for no ports, and then junk a lot of money to buy "accessories"? It's self defeating argument.

So, this is a grammar format specification, plus a specification of how ASTs parsed using such grammars are output (serialized) as XML, and some requirements on “processors” doing the parsing and serialization if they claim conformance to the ixml specification.

This part is confusing, did she not know she only gets paid for the time she works or does her hourly rate vary based on how many hours she works, like reverse overtime?

In my experience most people do understand the basic structure of a URL even if they don't know the proper names for the parts. It doesn't take being a software developer to empirically figure out which parameters are responsible for tracking and delete them before sharing — especially if you see your own username in one of them.
Just gave it a quick test run - this works exactly as I hoped for, thank you so much!
I have updated the title to remove confusion. Thanks for calling it out. There was no intention to mislead the community.
I don't keep it in the house, I only eat it when we go to a dedicated ice cream place really. So one scoop+cone is enough for me, considering if I'm at an ice cream place it's usually before or after we're going somewhere else to eat, or otherwise it was a spur of the moment thing, and either case I'm not gonna be trying to eat a ton.
by the mentioned 2050 MAD would probably include space based (free flying as well as Moon and asteroids based) components.
This sounds awful.

I wouldn’t want to turn normal interactions with my kids into rigid interactions forced into agile format.

The purpose of standups is to go fast and not waste people’s time with friendly, casual conversation. Using that format to engage with your kids is the opposite of how you should be encouraging interactions. You want to get involved and encourage natural discussion.

Jira is useful for tracking things that you’re not involved in and giving reports to higher ups who want to drop in and see progress reports. Again, not the dynamic you want to use with kids.

Just interact with them like normal human beings. Show interest, ask questions, have conversation. Don’t take the things people loathe about forced workplace interactions and make that the dynamic of your family.
>pricing for those labs was prohibitively expensive.

It's good to have reference instruments like chromatographs and infrared analyzers, where I could use reference gases to calibrate and verify.

OTOH very low-cost sensors could be ideally suited if well designed with accompanying electronics, but ultimate calibration would require the same expensive laboratory materials for reference.
Thermal mass makes sense if exposure to heat can be carefully controlled, in a manner consistent with solar passive principles. Ideally this would be in the form of concrete floor/brick wall behind a glazed and shaded south-facing window (northern hemisphere) in an otherwise well insulated house.

In practice, it’s generally better to just have a well insulated house in the first place. (Passivhaus being the attainable ideal.)
Here in Southwestern VA I’ve seen an interesting trend: people are buying yard barns. Sometimes very large yard barns and are converting them into living quarters. These are folks that don’t have a ton of access to capital or financing but they can scrape together enough for a barn, insulation, a window AC, and plumbing. They’re getting by with them because they’re not sold as livable structures but who knows how safe they are. Mobile/Manufactured homes are too expensive I guess.

Another student in the lab I'm in has been working on something [0] to bridge between a Snap!-like environment (so, very similar to Scratch) to Python, complete with retaining the concept of sprites having separate code with event handlers and using blocks they'll recognize for sniplets they can drag in to get code that implements the same functionality. I believe it also allows importing of projects made with blocks. It's still very WIP but we're hoping it helps students smooth the transition from blocks.

so, let me repeat, this is never said in the paper.
There's a style of house where I am (Queensland, Australia) called the Queenslander [1] - its a timber house, with high ceilings - typically 10 or 12 feet, the walls are tongue and groove timber which is pretty leaky, so any breeze goes through. It works, I've lived in one, my mum still does, without air con, just fans and evaporative coolers for those hot days. Another thing is placing your home facing the right direction - to the north east here to catch the cooling breezes.

They don't build them any more - brick and air con is standard now.

Preventing any house from utiliising solar has a direct and specific negative impact.

Even individual-choice solar deployments at small scale have benefits from a testing-and-development standpoint, increasing technical understanding of installation, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning.
> widespread practice in China of selling homes before they’re built

But isn't that really the case in most countries these days (or at least those countries where a home-buying culture is prevalent).

For example, a quick internet search for the UK suggests 40% ± 5% is the going rate for off-plan purchases.
Keep in mind that something like 8% of Americans didn't have health insurance at any point last year. About 35 percent of Americans receive government-funded health insurance (Medicare or Medicaid). Our system isn't great, but it is the system we have and most people participate in it.

One question: what is the binary size of the compiler?
Just want to point out that framing it as "climate justice" does absolutely zero favors to anybody who uses it as a selling point. The people who agree with the underlying idea already agree. You only alienate people (like me) who see that term and go "what the fuck are you talking about, what justice, you're not making any sense anymore" even when the underlying ideas are fine. Activists the world 'round need to realize they do not convince people with these terms.

So, were we to be voting Italians, we would alter the powers of our caretaker government in order that it might negotiate international energy deals, and supply some kind of martial aid to the Ukraine against Russia? Really?

Coalitions dissolve all the time in governments all over the world. The remedy is to form a new coalition ASAP and then proceed to an election as soon as possible, because the things you describe certainly would require a mandate from the Italian people.

Now, I'm sure Draghi, as a member of the current government coalition feels that he is the man to solve this problem, but his government can't even hold together the coalition, for any of the myriad ways things go sour in Italian politics.

"Vote for me, because Russia is laughing at us!" is basically what he requests.

I'm vastly skeptical about his actual reasons for publicizing this story. Perhaps he wishes to gain a mandate, and then, of course there might be Russian actors in Italy, perhaps some new measures to deal with them, using modern IT? Surveillance, perhaps? To keep Italy safe, of course.

Nah, I think we have plenty of time to get a mandate, Italy is broke, and raddled with covid, and has virtually no ability to project power past it's borders. It's July. The new govt can be in place by fall, if need be.

Italy has to put it's house in order, first. You can't help freedom in the Ukraine by abandoning democratic procedures at home.

To answer your question, the most important tasks of a government is trade deals and prosecuting foreign relations. Why in the world would we pick a bunch of dudes with "good intentions," to do this thing, instead of electing a government?

Your suggestion, is not insane, it has happened time and time again. Happened so often they even have an local symbol that represents unity. Perhaps you're familiar with it?

Anyway, not an insane suggestion, but a terrible one.
Missing licenses was a bug in my scripts. I have updated the container images to include all licenses. Thanks for pointing this out.

I have also included metadata in the container. This will allow any scanner to generate the scan report from any tool.

I have also added links to the scan report on the docker hub, so it's easy to see what all CVEs still exist in the docker image. There is no intention to mislead anyone in the community.

well the city has to make money somehow. normally businesses pay taxes and fees to operate. 3600 dollars a year to operate in 13 cities doesn’t sound bad all.
>It's really got me thinking about the 'poverty of privacy'. For people struggling to put food on the table .. the loyalty card is quite appealing, especially when the Tesco 'Clubcard' is now also a mobile app offering convenience. But at what cost to people's privacy?

Can't you just... not install the app? I imagine most people already have the card, and that's already nearly as convenient (if not more) than whipping out your phone, unlocking it, finding the app on your homescreen and opening it.

There's some concerning things raised in this twitter thread (ie. you have to allow yourself to be tracked through their club card if you want good prices), but it's being drowned out by the author complaining about stuff like optional apps containing trackers and are missing privacy policy, that their websites are setting cookies when they're not supposed to, or that they're logging your IP address/user agent.
Very true, after the employment agreement is made, a union doesn’t protect the employee who is intentionally violating company policies as part of the agreement. It basically protects the employee from the company from intentionally violating their own policies towards the employee by giving them a layer of due process before they are terminated.

People on here might try to argue that the union would never allow surveillance, but I know from experience working in a union company, unionized employees were directly surveilled, supervised, and measured.
I remember that article, including the cover! I was 24 in 1980.
Sure, they wear out. Nobody said otherwise. But I haven't heard of a major incident in either the US Navy or France, the nation.
This isn't a reasonable blanket policy. While I definitely would feel encouraged knowing my pilot has not displayed suicidal ideation, I do not support tracking writ large.

For example, resident physicians are known for being pushed to work 80+ hour weeks. Would any of them ever officially admit to having mental health issues? Hell no, and that's a problem from an ethics perspective and a declining level of healthcare, not to mention tragically ironic to boot.
