> Stop pretending like climate change is created by consumers

But it is actually created by consumers. By human beings consuming resources and emitting greenhouse gases in return. Simply because there's nothing else even close in scale as a source of global warming. What else could there be, wild herbivores?

It follows almost tautologically that it is human beings that is causing the warming.

You blame "industrial production processes". But those are completely funded by human consumption in a mostly on-demand action.

So what else is there to blame? The transportation industry? Again, completely funded by, and a direct response of consumers buying stuff. Consumption is at the beginning of the chain. It's the cause.

So your argument sounds wrong to me. It sounds like you want to shift blame to wealthy industrialists. Guess what, a fat bank balance or stock ownership like that of Elon Musk or Bezos does not emit greenhouse gases by simply existing.

Hey, I'm Sam and I'm a Senior Front End Engineer with 10+ Years of Experience.

I love long walks on the beach and taking on impossible-to-solve Front End Engineering challenges.

For client projects, I recently worked on a WordPress site for a Manhattan Synagogue that involved a heavy rewrite in Tailwind.

Another recent client was a React PWA built with Next.js, where I also got to implement Natural Language Processing via JavaScript to make event dates smarter.

I also built and currently maintain the largest GitHub community for Apple Silicon Software with 94 open-source contributors.

In my spare time, I built an interface for displaying the order of Marvel Movies built on TypeScript + Astro, which allows you to build with React, Vue, Svelte, or any Vite compatibles JS Framework:

Freedom of speech for speech you hate is also a social principle - see the ACLU Klan cases.

Principles aren't supposed to be easy to keep, otherwise they're hobbies.
Because the point is the car already has a giant battery. A Tesla Powerwall has 13.5 kWh of storage, while a F150 Lightning battery has nearly 10 times that.

And yes, V2H power can increase wear on the battery, but my understanding is that large strides have been made (and certainly will be made) in reducing the wear impact on the battery.
I agree base-12 would be better (having 12 months is nice) in principle, but in practice I found it rarely to be an issue and I've paid special attention to it since I first heard this argument a few years ago because it sounded convincing at first.

Stuff like easily using fractions (1.65m, and what's halfway between 6"4' and 6"5'?), division of things with fraction (what's half of 6"4'?), and converting from cm to m is much more common. So while metric does indeed make some things harder, it makes many common things easier. Overall, it seems like a fair trade-off.
Not sure if properties of materials is the best example, those tend to have some theory behind them that, if not explains, at least defines the property and its consequences. If one research team measures the stiffness of a material it's easy enough to make a test that replicates their result.

Medical research in particular seems to suffer a lot from papers where something has been measured with no supporting theory whatsoever and consequently no real information other than "If you do what we did you probably get the same result". Rather unsurprisingly this is hard to replicate because there's no theory telling you what is and isn't relevant to replicate.

I'm not saying this is easy to fix, but maybe we should focus more effort on papers that expand the theory, rather than papers that at best show that something might be the case but we don't know why.
DPI is one of my pet peeves, together with points. Why not use mm for font size?

Instead of DPI, one could use µm per px, or px per (c)m if you want something easier to work with at very high DPI.

I know what DPI and points are, but just because I know a few values and can say "that one's large", "this one is small", with no idea how much they act iually measure. With other units I could approximate the viewing distance much better.
Velocity is not intended as an engineering management metric, it's intended for use internally by the team as a guide for sprint planning. If you're using sprints and not kanban, the "cycle time" is fixed, and only the amount varies (approximated inexactly by story points).

This statement FTA is completely antithetical to agile development:

"A manager who wishes to make their team’s cycle times more uniform can try matching the rate at which tasks enter the system to the rate at which they leave."

On an agile team, "the manager" doesn't moderate the work rate; rather, the team measures their own work rate (approximately) via velocity and manages themselves accordingly.
What is the difference between "medical gatekeeping" and requiring a prescription? Because over-the-counter hormone therapy (regardless of the intent or reasoning behind it) seems like an all around bad idea.
i dont think nanobot's should be self-replicating, instead we could have a system where we feed the bio-markers of tumor the system that generates couple of billions nanobots programmed to seek out and destroy those cells then overtime biodegrade into nothing. We don't even need to go all robotics, we could piggyback some virus/bacteria that is able to evade immune system, doesn't reproduce, can't mutate (which is important, if mutation is high than what you program it do is irrelevant as it can deviate from it), and simply just find the cells pre-programmed to be found and not even deliver poison, just mark them as targets for immune system.

I'm not a parent, so I didn't want to say that, but it is certainly what I was thinking. =)

Pilosa is now renamed to FeatureBaseDB

FeatureBase is a distributed OLAP database utilizing bitmap indices.

I am not affiliated to them, I just found this project interesting as someone who is knee deep in Druid/ClickHouse ecosystem.
>> Don't neglect the losses from generating that electricity, which is about 70%

What? There’s 70% loss in the process of generating electricity? Where does that occur?
I agree with the point you are making, but if we do nothing (out of apathy or pragmatism) then how is OP supposed to protect their children? A complete ban on all social media and all internet connected devices?

I don't have the answer, I think OPs solution is the only practical one: constant and even-handed-as-possible vigilance and rules and hopefully a bit of curation too.

Honestly, the internet really isn't a good place for a child and their mental health. I'm in my 30s and have been an internet native for my entire conscious memory, having seen the early 4chan, gore, etc. on the unfiltered internet. Saying all that I think it is somehow even worse today. I'm not sure how I would navigate this if I were to have children.
Whether the operators of the site are guilty of a crime is surely for the courts to determine, not for Cloudflare or Twitter's userbase.
A much-awaited enhancement. Saves the trouble of having to deploy a separate vector DB like Milvus.

I don't like the query syntax though. Maybe a more developer-friendly indexing+query flow is possible. Vectorize fields and queries transparently using a lib like DL4J running in the same JVM. That can further simplify both app development and deployment.
DALLE detects realistic faces in input and refuses to proceed, but if you erase the face it will happily generate a new one in its place.
Up through 2008 we made very heavy use of posts in web apps where I worked, js was more of an accelerant for things like autocomplete and client side validation. Amazon retail was still building mostly post based experiences when they were doing the universal detail page project in 2015.

I never used flash seriously from 1996-2015 when I switched to an electron front end and then mostly to backend work.
To be fair I'm not a parent either, maybe this just won't work.

But I was also a kid, and I know that if I was barred from doing something I would 100% go behind my parents back and do it anyway, so that's not going to work.

You have to try something else.
I would prefer that we consider power efficient housing first. Use more insulation and less energy to keep comfortable temperatures inside never-mind if it's too cold or too hot outside.

yes "happy" "gleeful" "joyful" everything was NSFW with "baby" but replacing "baby" with "infant" works fine is what I observed
This is an inflammatory, fact-free assertion.
Out of curiosity, I wonder if Kiwi was on that list before they were blocked entirely. I'd assume so. But again, this is just whack-a-mole... a kid could easily use a friends device that didn't have this on there.
with literally hundreds of competitors popping up daily you cannot afford to have an overly sensitive nsfw filter; right now this tool is almost useless
Right. Don’t confuse “poor”, ie relative poverty, with absolute levels of wealth ($ per household) and downstream claims about absolute levels of, say, child mortality.

In 1800, almost everyone was destitute by current standards, even prosperous merchants. Child mortality rates were appalling. And at the same time, there was a spectrum between relatively rich and poor, and merchants appeared “rich”.

The article is solely about absolute wealth levels, and is making empirical claims about energy requirements to get there. Concerns about wealth inequality are orthogonal to this set of claims. You could have incredibly equal or unequal societies, but none of them can (with current technology) produce low child mortality rates with very-low per capita energy usage.
Serving child pornography would be a "pretty bad marketing move" and people are able to see clear picture of Jesus in damaged building elevation.

(it kind of sucks because assuming you can't eliminate pedophiles, fake content could be something that minimizes their damage)

I wonder how we will get around this one. Or do we get stuck and human artists will start only creating NSFW art? ;)

The Guardian is turning into a horrible source of information.
This is just performance, like chaining yourself to a concrete slab. The real thing, if anyone really cared, would be to prosecute manufacturers for planned obsolescence. A washing machine uses a plastic bearing instead of a slightly more exlensive aluminum one? You send it to an FTC like agency, they inspect it and send some VP to jail. This would drastically reduce the size of plastic islands in the oceans, emissions from factories (who are busy manufacturing junk to replace broken junk).

I think it would make it clearer to just ban calling it "buying" and force marketplaces to call it rent/license for x years.
Traction control has all sorts of tricks it can use to get you pointed in the right direction. Traction control systems can brake individual wheels to apply rotational torque to counter excessive yaw like when the back tires come loose and the back swings out, the car can induce rotation in the opposite direction to sort things out before they get too dangerous.

The other common case is when taking off in a straight line, the car can limit power in excess of what the wheels are capable of putting down. This is usually accomplished with a combination of limiting power and in some cases braking individual wheels as they lose traction to simulate the effects of having a differential.

Electric cars do better much in the latter case because of how quickly they can limit power compared to an engine. It’s one of the reasons electric cars dominate 0-60 tests because they can adjust power hundreds of times a second whereas that’s simply not possible with a gas engine.
Literally “within the same database” is highly improbable as they are direct competitors just like Google and Microsoft are. On the other hand, countless companies will surely try to match user profiles across the apps, which sounds like a common practice everywhere.
If they have killed them, they shouldn't be kicked of the internet. They should be charged with the appropriate charge and go to prison if found guilty.
> HRT without medical/parental gatekeeping are widely supported positions in the trans community

It's a widely supported position of the trans community that minors should have access to home-made HRT without any quality control or regulation?

Because honestly, I feel like if you're taking hormone replacement therapy you want some kind of guarantee of quality.
I tend to throw things in a drawer or other container and throw most of it out every few years. I figure that was, if I need something, I can probably find it. But I don't have to go to the work of filing the 99% of things I'll never need up-front.

One way to address this problem is to not ask the question, but to work with your teams to set goals for a longer period of time such as a quarter. Then structure your organization such that it doesn't depend on the exact timing of work completion.
I looked up the density just in case. 1.035 kg/L. Close enough.
Nice, my neck of the woods is absolutely parched :D. Some rain predicted this week though. I heard France was really bad but it doesn't look too bad in comparison.
Why assume this one Russian weapon actually works, if all others turned out to be shit?

Seriously, can we really expect a country that can’t even manufacture cars to be able to refurbish nukes?

Not to mention that the assumptions of MAD doctrine might not have been true for quite some time now. Which means, even if those nukes left their silos, they might not get anywhere near the targets.
That's how the Chinese culture largely sees hacking / stealing IP. If you didn't protect yourself, well that's your fault, and our theft is therefore ok

Why does Google have a safe mode? Sorry, people should have the option for unwanted content.

I would like to show these projects off to friends and co-workers without the risk of generating explicit content.

These generators need settings to toggle such behavior.

People DDoS everything. Every public video game server, random forums, home IPs of opponents in League of Legends matches, etc.

It takes literally one disgruntled person to pay $5 to take down most IPs that don't have DDoS protection. Sometimes a free booter is enough.
But taken together (I believe the statement should be written with commas instead of periods) that sentence fully answers your question - what is eating correctly? mostly plants, minimally processed. If you do that, you'll have no trouble managing proportions.
How are three people dead because of KF?

Not concern trolling, a google search only turned up a kiwifarms thread that _could_ have been relevant, but is now obviously inaccessable.
Eh, I think everyone respects hacks :) Cheers anyhow .
This may not be perfect, but I have regular conversations with my kids about what they do online. With Discord in particular, we have a rule that they are only allowed to be on discord servers where they know everyone IRL.

They use Discord to figure out what other things they’re going to do either in person or in an online game. So this rule hasn’t been hard to follow for them.
> New Zealand apparently wanted to take legal action (up to ten years in prison) against any New Zealand citizen who simply watched the video on Kiwifarms forums?

Sounds like the owner was right to say "go fuck yourself" then.
In free states, it’s common and not a big deal to tell dispatchers & police that you’re armed. Usually the cops will just ask where your weapon is, then say “cool, don’t shoot me and I won’t shoot you”. Not a big deal. They’re generally not concerned about people who voluntarily surrender their element of surprise.
The great part about safe mode is that you can turn it off. I'm an adult, I don't want what I see filtered for my own good.
We've over populated the planet, surely, we would otherwise have the option to readily move to an area with more suitable climate and plenty of space for refugees.
From a certain perspective the browser is much more of a walled garden than native desktop development.
Honestly, there’s quite a few firms that want to have their cake and eat it on this one. Not just internet firms, but credit card companies. And I’m 100% not onboard with that.
That's a good point. I'll try to find the answer.

Let me know if you already know.
> Almost every soldier death would be 18-25.

Absolutely not true. The age at which countries recruited were up to 45 normally (united states) or even 60 (Germany UK) and in Germany every able bodied male eventually ended in some kind of unit - if only home defense. Starting with 14 actually.

The ration of civilians to soldiers killed is 3:2 to 2:1.
Shut this down?
I disagree. I think about comments after many years working with diverse and distributed teams mainly this way: comments can be ignored.

What do I mean by that? Write as many comments as possible. You do not need to read them. However, if you could help at least some people finding the why of some code, you helped them a lot.

Also never underestimate how much the human brain forgets in a couple of months. Many devs are blind to the fact, that for every part of code they are working at, a lot more don't.

John Woods has it: "Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live. Code for readability." Comments help a lot.

Do your teams as well as your future self a favor. ;)
Ask HN: Do you limit your screen time off work?

Can't divide 16 by 3 though; the nice thing about 12 is that you get nice natural numbers for many common divisors:

>>> 12/2, 12/3, 12/4, 12/5, 12/6, 12/7, 12/8
(6.0, 4.0, 3.0, 2.4, 2.0, 1.7142857142857142, 1.5)

>>> 16/2, 16/3, 16/4, 16/5, 16/6, 16/7, 16/8
(8.0, 5.333333333333333, 4.0, 3.2, 2.6666666666666665, 2.2857142857142856, 2.0)

With base-12, only 7 is awkward (and that's probably okay as it's not that common) and the non-natural numbers of 2.4 and 1.5 when dividing by 5 and 8 are still fairly easy to deal with. Dividing by the common figures of 2, 3, and 4 gives nice numbers.

Base-16 has the "infinite number problem" for 3 and 6 that base-10 has, and only 2, 4, and 8 give natural numbers.

This is probably why there are 12 months and why people used "a dozen" for a long time.
I effectively have the knowledge and skill set of a BA. But tech was what hired me-always had a decent tech background, too.

The BA side helps me navigate lots of things though. Helps at work when needing to phrase things to non-techies.
The whole thing reads like lawyers talking about bugs in a spreasheet, without being willing to show the spreadsheet itself. And everything in the spreadsheet itself is survey data, not the results of experiments, which puts it on shaky footing to begin with. My own perspective is that this entire branch of research--trying to figure out risk factors for nutrition based on non-intervential studies--is a failed paradigm which cannot reasonably be expected to produce true conclusions, has a long history of producing false conclusions that were later overturned. It's basically pseudoscience.
Or on the other hand iMessages is far better than SMS and RCS.

Then you have Google who alone introduced three incompatible messaging apps in one year. It must be part of the promotion process for Google SWEs and PMs to introduce a new messaging app.
>> we're going to be charging EVs with fossil fuels for a long time

Even if you never used wind, solar, nuclear, hydro, etc. then you’d still be ahead in the BEV case.

An oil power plant has around 42% thermal efficiency. A gas one 50%+ an ICE is only up to 35% but in the US it’s significantly lower on average.

Neither of which have tailpipe emissions in populated areas unlike ICE.

But we do also use wind, solar, nuclear etc as power sources for BEV.
Sure, and there is a spectrum of

- naked because that's the default human

- naked and posed in a way that is artistically beautiful

- naked and posed in a way that is sexually provocative

SD is convinced past a certain threshold of flesh-colored space that it could fall into the sexually proactive group so they err on the side of caution. I'm not mad at them for defaulting to that. If you want to push past the default filter it's easy enough to remove. Seems sensible to me when the training set does include a lot of literal pornography.
Agreed 100%.

That said, my parents always told me that if I wanted to try drugs (like weed), let them buy it for me so that they could at least know I was getting good stuff.

Honestly, that just made it more awkward... but it did instill in me that I should at least make sure that I was not just taking random shitty drugs. It also made me wait until I could find stuff I could trust before trying it.
And yet TFA shows that 3.39.0 introduced a new feature (right joins), and 3.39.1 fixes a logic bug in exactly that new feature. I suppose you're right that it's not a crash, just an incorrect result.
Isn’t kanban a tool within sprints?
Better than "someone said this is true".
when 'all the news that's fit to print' stops reporting what goes against their upper crust values, you need to look in the gutters for the truth.

There are several times where the goddamn Daily Mail was the fastest quick and dirty way to get the facts, while the fancy papers avoided, deflected, or put on their three pairs of "systemic" eyeglasses before telling the reader the where, when, whys of what's happened.
Might want a restriction like research from an unaffiliated institution / research group. I don't think reproducing results from someone in the same lab has much value.
Agree. In the UK we saw a massive reduction of single use bags when we introduced a 10p charge on bags.
