The concept of carbon footprint for the average person is in itself a scam to let corporations off the hook by blaming the average person and focusing the conversation on what Johnny average does or eats in a day while forgetting that Big Oil has done everything in its power within the last 50 years to avoid responsibility regarding the fact that they knew and lied about the potential effects of climate change.
They could be used for forestry, replacing concrete by using them for LVL beams. You could just leave them where they are and let nature do the process of incorporating the carbon into the soil.

In my experience they operate with 100s of external partners. You will find a Faang engineering team with maybe 1-3 internal devs, and 5-10 sub-contracted.

It's a bit frustrating because you're expected to do same level engineering work for maybe 1/2 or 1/3 of the pay.
Love Blosxom! Still using it to power my senescent blog[0]. Rael Dornfest's original Perl script was later annotated separately by Frank Hecker[1] and Rob Reed[2]. (Neat side note: according to Rob, Blosxom "played a part in my decision to go back to school to get a masters in computer science".)

A person’s main task shouldn’t be computing, but to be human. Yes things can be improved with a bit of effort, but Mac OS doesn’t require so much fighting.

I just booted a new-to-me MacBook and I only had to clean a few icons from the dock. It took me two days to decrapify my Microsoft-built Surface Go 2 before I returned it.

I use Windows to launch and run a single game, and it can’t even do that without pissing me off.
Hi all!

As a software engineer and Scrum Master -- by then -- the only way I found to feel peaceful about planning one of the most important day of my life was to do what I knew: use agile methods!

In this journey, I realised I had to understand the underlying principles behind Scrum to apply it to non-IT projects. Years later, I've decided to compile my findings in a book.

If you know Scrum already, it might help you to take a step back on the practice and ask yourself deeper questions. If you don't, it contains everything you need to understand the core principles and start being agile on the right foot.

Feedback appreciated!

Both (*) and (id) appear to be using the same index. According to the author, the second query would use PRIMARY instead.
This is more or less what stubby is/was for Google and so the original driving force in implementing it. Now, if you add a catch all service that translates the requests from the outside to Protobuffers and then forwards the translated requests to the correct service you have a GFE (Google Front-End) equivalent.

Should you do it? Probably not as it's not just a dumb translation layer and it is extremely complex (e.g. needs to support streams which is non-trivial in this situation). For Google it's worth because this way you only have to handle protobuffers beyond the GFE layer.
Amazing resource. Totally forgot about the existence of this; definitely helped during medical school. Thanks for the share :)
About this crazy fast thing... Is it really possible to edit text that fast ? My experience is that I spend quite sometime thinking and just a bit of time typing. So in the end, I just basically use the CUA keys and a few other shortcuts and I've been using emacs like that for 10 years or so.

But when I look at some emacs power users on YT, my feeling is that they type fast because they know shortcuts for every single kind of edit they want to make. Is memorizing dozens of shortcuts the way to be crazy fast ? OR is it something else ?

That's like asking 'how much are musicians/artists making'. Most are making near-zero. A few get lucky and are making many millions.

And while success requires a certain level of talent/skill, becoming a mega-hit seems very much about luck and being in the right place at the right time.
I just keep them as reminder for myself. I don't post selfies (or any pictures for that matter) in public.

I more often ask myself why people are doing images of only the landmarks (instead of actually enjoying them) when they know just as well that their cameras and photo skills are crappy compared to whatever Google spits out.
You can't put a building there so most likely it would remain a parking lot. Sure in theory you could have a out-door market there but that is an extreme minority case.

There are simply not many other land uses that are compatible with installed installed solar panels.

And the chances of some other use is less likely if more is invested in the land.
Sure, but unfortunately that also means that people will tend to spend more energy to actually live comfortably with those conditions...
>How did this get to the front page?

I've noticed sometimes things get to the front page evidently because everyone hates it and wants to talk about how much it sucks.

And humans and the other animals make these substances from the various forms of vitamin B3, e.g. niacin or nicotinamide, which must be provided by the food.

Insufficient intake of this vitamin causes the disease named pellagra (which was frequent at people who ate almost only corn, i.e. maize, with too little of other vegetable or animal food).

> You are on a personal website.

I'm not demanding you take it off, I'm just making a conversation. I'm curious about the difference between "being hooked" and "time killing" from your perspective.

Right now, it seems that the difference is "whether or not the creator cares about the amount of user interaction". Which is fine, makes sense (since most toxic of forms of "engagement tools" are driven by metrics user interaction) but kinda hand-wavy - anyone can pretend to "not care" and keep doing it.

The C6 was honestly a bit of a disappointment. Yes, it felt like a last hurrah back to the glory days of Citroën with the DS and the CX, but it still fell short. The C6 only used the hydropneumatic system for suspension. Steering and brakes were replaced with ordinary systems. And while it gave as smooth a ride as any classic hydropneumatic Citroën, it always felt like it didn't quite get there.

But the biggest sin of all, and even Top Gear mentioned this, is the lack of leg room in the backseat. Even my Xantia has better leg room there than the C6. And maintenance wise, it's a nightmare. It's nowhere as rock-solid as the XM or as "simple" as a DS. While it's probably a good investment, considering its few numbers (only 23k were made, I believe), and the fact that it's interesting, it's probably best to mostly keep it in a garage for one or two decades.

I really wanted to be excited about the C6, but it's so much further down my Citroën shopping list than even a Dyane 6 (and I'm mostly into Citroën for the hydropneumatic suspension).
If he was that clueless, why lie to him? He clearly lost support and power by then, so why bother? Genuinely asking.
You're right that its explicitly identified that way but that's because it isn't obvious, if it was obvious they wouldn't have needed to be explicit about it.

For example, retreating soldiers are absolutely still combatants but on the other hand sailors on a life raft are not. Is an ejected pilot like a retreating infantryman or like a sailor on a liferaft? The solution the drafters came up with is that he's a non-combatant while descending but once again becomes a combatant once landed.
Or (in my humble opinion, a more important question), happy…?
I live close to Stockholm, Sweden and I think the tech scene here is quite good. Lots of local job opportunities for experienced developers. Some big companies here like Klarna, Spotify, King. Northvolt has offices here, Ubisoft too. And lots of startups as well, and other game companies.

It can probably not compare to SF, but when it comes to European cities I believe it’s amongst the best for tech.

They didn’t do the maximum, because they didn’t die from working. So there must be some restraint. Even if they look supersonic from our perspective.
If anything, Europe and the USA and Russia should get way less carbon credits per capita, since they've had a massive headstart at consuming fossil fuels compared to the rest of the world, which should really be priced in somehow if we're talking about fairness.
> The saving grace is a lot of teams aren’t really doing anything that critical

I worked for AWS, and our service was critical for like half of the internet. Very hard oncalls.
I bought a Microsoft tablet last year. I spent a whole day installing updates - like 4 hours. Then I had to force Bing to Google - not possible - and Edge to Firefox - partly possible. I had to remove many trial apps and other noise from the start menu, and a news widget from the task bar. Keeping telemetry off through many rounds of dark patterns was a challenge.

The fight against windows update had not begun yet. At that point I just returned the device. Even if you removed all the dark patterns, the root OS feels completely unpolished and inconsistent.
They are giving a 403 which looks a lot like .htaccess. You can't do a whole lot of DDosing from a VPN IP either due to data cap and connection count limits per account.
>It's not "technically correct" but I don't think it's far from the truth to think of the USSR as Russia and the land they annexed.

Not land - countries. Differently from, say, British colonialism, you can’t claim with a straight face that Russia brought with it the technology or culture. In fact it was pretty much the opposite.

>Plus, was it "Ukranian" or was it built by Russians with Russian money on the order of Russians in Ukraine?

It was Ukrainian, that’s the point: the brains part came from Ukraine, not Russia.
In terms of information security, as viewed by an infosec engineer, biological systems seem to have incredibly weak architecture. Hear me out, please.

If any piece of DNA code manages to find its way into the nucleus, it's happily added to the cell "runtime" and has root access to the system.

To defend against this, biology relies on multiple layers of security, both physical, like the skin, and chemical, like the secret protein password it requires to allow foreign DNA to breach the cell membrane. But both are easily circumvented, for example weak points exist in the physical layer and the protein passwords are static and low entropy, easy to bruteforce by an enemy that already has a botnet of infected hosts which produce random permutations of these keys.

And once infection happens, the body response is sort of like the experience of cleaning a Windows 98 which has been used by your grandma to surf the internet for the last two decades, without the option to do a fresh install (kill the host). It's messy and insanely complex - the sort of thing you would expect blind evolution to generate against a blind, brute-forcing script kiddie.

You just have to wonder what are our chances on this planet if intelligent and rational enemies, be they human or AI, gain the knowledge, tools and motivation to attack biological systems and intelligently design sophisticated attack vectors. Our most precious systems are wide open, folks.

Perhaps some day, to prevent such attacks, we will take control of this complex immune machinery and inject ourselves with highly engineered "anti-viruses" built on the same info-sec principles we build software on.
We always assume compilers to be infallible, and for the most part this is right. But special compilers for special targets or certified compilers for special uses, I've found to often have compiler issues. Why did you have a GCC-fork?

My first car (1993) was a Citroen BX. I loved the hydropneumatic suspension. The car would rise slowly after you started the engine. And there was a special mode where you could rise the car even higher to pass rough terrain.

> If cell-to-cell adhesion is mostly determined by the binding of complementary receptors on the surfaces of those cells, and a relatively complete listing of these receptors has now been measured, then it should be possible to predict which cells are most likely to physically interact with each other by counting up their number of binding receptors.
My experience is that emacs is not that good compared to other editors when it comes to edit code (and I use emacs almost exclusively -- because I don't have time to learn something else and because I'm a total fan of RMS). The LSP thing is not that good (at least on my emacs, lsp-mode lack a lot of polish). Org-mod is OK though. The things I find really cool are

- marginalia/vertico; those really help.

- ability to open pictures in the editor

- ability to reformat text paragraphs

- (for my own use caes), R integration is really nice

- super configurable
There’s no complete fix. Sometimes you have to relax. It’s just about doing it on your own terms.
I'm pretty sure this is just a sign your company is a dinosaur and way behind the times.

Why would you pay for a separate pager device and service when every cell phone in the world can receive text messages? Bizarre.
> GDP has something to do with income, certainly.

Well I'd say that GDP is much more like revenue than income. You're certainly correct that they are related, as income is typically some percentage of revenue (even negative) however the actual percentage is different for every entity, so it somewhat meaningless.

> But I think that the article's author suffers a fundamental failing of understanding of why people look at GDP per capita. It's not because they're trying to understand the experience of individuals within the country at all -- it's because they're trying to understand how rich the country is, normalized to its size.

Completely agree. Generally there are better metrics if you want to look at the income distribution for a country, e.g. the Gini index.
When I went travelling some years ago I created a Instagram for my family and friends to get a peek of what I am doing.

I did mediocre pics with kinda personal content but soon more and more followers showed up, likes increased and nice comments appeared. Not much later I would get offers for advertisment deals in my DMs and weird people offering to show me around.

I didn't care, but I totally see why a more fragile, or narcissistic for that matter, personality may gets sucked into this.
VPNs are not suitable for DDos, upstream can see requests/URLs since it is responding with a 403.

Captcha with CDN is the way to go these days. Also, why are they special? Arch, Ubuntu, etc.... have no problem. If you see the links in my post, they block other providers too, switching just to please them is not an effective strategy.
My preferred setup is to have an unencrypted service running on 127.0.0.1 (so not publicly available), and then have nginx in front to handle certificates. Lets me do all certificate stuff across all virtual hosts in one place. HTTP/2 makes this impossible due to its ridiculous TLS requirement, so I, and everyone who does it the way I do, must keep using HTTP/1.1 forever.

It's my belief that requiring TLS for HTTP/2 is what killed the protocol. It just causes too much friction during both development and deployment, for little to no (or negative) performance gain.
Well, keep in mind that that sort of thing is almost certainly not introspection but imitation. This is not a novel idea, and it would have appeared in its training corpus.

As I understand the training approach, LaMDA isn't aware of its own output in a way that would allow it to introspect like that.
Getting the dust out of the air means you can take off the apparatus between operations. Imagine you're cutting a few boards. Once you've done that, you move over to your workbench to start planing. After that, you're going to glue them together.

You don't want to keep the PAPR on for the next 2 hours as you do planing and gluing work.
Do you have a choice in terms of what fuel you can use for your car because I don't.

If you drive a diesel car, you can actually swap the diesel fuel with used cooking oil(after removing the impurities and doing a few modifications to the engine/car)

Yet, it is still not legal in France(among other countries) to do so for example. Why? because the government does not want people to stop paying 60% taxes each and every time they go to the pump to refill their tank.

Supposedly it will be legal soon but guess what, they are still going to tax the used cooking oil as if it was oil from the ground. So where is the incentive to switch?

This has been know for the last 15 years if not more.
So yeah, I ll say consumers are not responsible for this mess.

Give people cheap EV and people will drive them. Where are they today?
I am not a Musk die hard fan, but if Tesla had not shaken up the car companies and threaten them we would not even have electric vehicles today.

What did we have 10 years ago? A hybrid from Toyota and a few other car makers and that was it.
There is a very easy way to fix standups: Do them twice a week or even once a week.

I've never been on a team that was so disorganized that we needed to have a standup every day. I've also never had tasks where you could always make progress in a single day. Meeting once or twice a week matches the meeting frequency to how often things really need communicating (beyond chatting in slack), so the meeting gets used effectively. Meeting every day just trains people to filibuster, and that's a big reason that the meetings stretch out to hours.

I do believe there are teams that get blocked on each other every day and who have tasks that take a few hours to finish. Never been on one myself, but I'm sure Scrum works great for them.
> Perhaps not burger and nuggets, since those are heavily processed and seasoned anyway, but try to give them a plant based steak or ribs and I doubt anyone would fail to tell the difference.

I'm sure people said exactly this about burger patties before amazing plant-based burger patties existed. There's no physical reason this is not possible. And don't forget that making a steak is also much harder with cultured meat, that's why they're also starting with burger patties and chicken nuggets.

From a higher-level view, most meat that's consumed is not in the form of steaks. It's in the form of ground meat. If enough people switch to plant-based meats for let's say 80% of their meat needs, animal-based meat won't be able to compete anymore with the price of plant-based meats. So, for Impossible to reach their goal of getting rid of the animal based food system, they don't even need to be able to make steaks. Sure, there will always be meat, but it will be an expensive luxury and rarity that we will frown upon as society (e.g. like wearing fur coats today or hunting dolphins and whales).

> So someone whose subsistence depends on plant-based meat substitutes says their competitor are not good enough?

Fair point. But also consider why they started a plant-based meat company in the first place and not a cultured meat one? He had the experience, expertise and funds to do either.
