If climate change was truly accepted to be a global endeavour, then the only reasonable metric by which to track progress is the per capita footprint. Today the per capita footprint of the first world outweighs the rest of the world by orders of magnitude. And yet, the focus always seems to be on a country's total emissions, thus putting more onus on highly populated third world countries. How do we expect those people to buy into this bargain? The hard truth is that, if we are to make any progress on climate change, then first world countries must drastically cut their consumption and downgrade their lifestyles. That kind of a lifestyle is simply not sustainable across 8 billion people. But we cannot say that only some people are privileged to access that lifestyle, while the remaining must sacrifice to save the planet.

> that's interesting, 'saying X should be against the law' is precisely not what I'm hearing.

You've never heard anybody in the US advocating for laws against hate speech? I mean 'hate speech' which isn't inciting imminent lawless action, the present standard set by Bradenburg v. Ohio. Something like "ethnic group X are bringing crime to our community"; this sort of statement is called hate speech, but is legal in America.

I have met a fair few people in America who believe that all hate speech such as that is intrinsically an incitement of violence, rejecting the imminent lawless action standard. They reason that any statement which could inspire negative feelings towards another, particularly a marginalized group, might also indirectly inspire people to commit acts of violence and should therefore be illegal.
That's really a bizarre icon, ha. I can't figure it out.
Somehow I thought they meant more. I’m sure my ISP is after all of my data but I’d rather them than CF. Upon rereading their claim I suspect it is just about IPs and hostnames. I can live with that. Also my browser uses DoH.

No. In fact, I doubt there will be any consequence to them. The officials do what they do to please most of their constituents. It is the SF people who want them to behave like that or who don't care about what happened to the housing market. Case in point, SF has a booming tourism industry. People working in this industry simply don't want more houses built for obvious reasons.

> that huge blocks of the rest of the country (and world) vote with their ballots or feet or both for very poorly-articulated policies and agendas

My point is that the policies and agendas seem to be driven more on anger than on structural policies that will enrich their lives.

I'm trying desperately to not engage in any sort of partisanship here, but I'm not aware of any significant policies from the previous administration that actually made their lives better.

It's been shown that fear (and anger) are powerful motivators: https://www.apa.org/news/apa/2020/fear-motivator-elections

tl;dr -- fear+anger > economics/domestic policy
> and having security issues

Security fixes should always be backported, because there will always be people stuck at a version of the OS for one reason or the other (it is guaranteed if you serve millions of people).

Blaming users for not upgrading, or forcing developers to upgrade is NOT how it should be done.

I have in the countless times this has been brought up. My high school had a Bose statue and taught us a lot of his history as well to try and reaffirm his greatness.

In the end , I haven’t ever seen anyone show me anything that didn’t also require ignoring Bose’s significant ties to the Nazis to have a charitable take on the man and his followers.
The market is not working. What you see on the graph is a global growth of emissions. CO2 is a global problem, and we haven't improved on it yet, in any significant fashion.

If you are implying that the market has reduced emissions in developped countries, i believe you're reading the situation wrong: China has become the world's factory, and its emissions have exploded, but the products manufactures are exported and consumed in the most developped countries. So effectively, developped countries emissions have grown. It's trivial to understand this when you observe the explosion of goods and services available in these countries, at the press of a button. There was never in history that many objects around us, in developped countries. Our footprint on the global world is growing rapidly and has never decreased.

The market is failing to deal with climate change because the environment costs (sometimes called externalities) are not part of the market dynamics. The market uses money, but has a blind eye to anything physical. Business is just money and human labor. No mines, no pollution. It's all dollars. Polluting a lake is a X million dollars fee, not an irreversible loss in a one-time resource.

What exactly is the point of all these releases if you don't upgrade?

Do you think Apple just releases new versions of iOS with API changes to keep developers shipping new versions or something?

I don't understand this mentality that just because v1.6.3 is available you don't HAVE to upgrade from v1.2.1.

There's obviously new bug fixes and features available to you.

The only reason I would say not to upgrade is because your device doesn't support the new version and in that case you CANT upgrade.
Oooh gotcha yeah the "a bit too small for digital cameras" line threw me off. But that is wonderful photography thanks for sharing!

As another commenter on HN said yesterday, sell people what they want, but give them what they need.

If it's abroad in Japan, I would say he's found a great way to hit mass appeal but still maintain his authentic and snarky takes on the country.

If it's Paolo from Tokyo, I'd say he's defensively changed over the years and has become much more focused on clicks over real substance.

If it's neither of them, then still give those two channels a watch, especially the stuff from several years ago.
Yeah I agree with almost all of this - the massive size and complexity of commercial engines makes it seem like JS the language must also be complex.

I also agree with the idea that these sites will probably be able to/want to create JS that breaks these small/lightweight engines requiring constant work :-/

This final point I disagree with entirely. You can't point to Bellard doing something as evidence that it's reasonable. This is a guy that wrote a program that generated a TV signal via a VGA card. :D

I am all for even more big companies having even bigger networks. As long as they cannot stop new players from emerging and getting bigger, these centralization vs distributed trade offs are largely academic.

Well with TLS it stops (almost (1)) anyone from seeing which pages you access on a site (with exceptions(2)), but which site you visit is still accessable unless the server supports Encrypted server name indication (ESNI).

When using standard SNI (SNI is used so you can have multiple domains on the same IP address) your connection to the server is not encrypted until after the hostname of the server you are requesting is sent at which point the server knows which cert to use to encrypt the rest of the traffic. So you can pull the host header out of the pre-encrypted traffic and look at which site the user is connecting too.

1) When the webserver you are accessing uses services that terminate TLS before the origin server (Cloudflare and CloudFront to name two) then the operators of those TLS terminators might be able to see which pages on that site you visit

2) You might be able to determine which page someone is accessing via side channels, for example if example.com/naughtypage.html always returns a page of a certain size which is determinable you can presume they connected to example.com/naughtypage.html if the returning data matches that size.

Regarding China, I would suggest reading https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-57018837 (2019) and consider that it hasn't exactly shown itself to be responsible with development.

And while 2021 and 2022 are seeing a drop ( https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chinas-co2-emissions-se... ) there is every indication that it will pick right back up and accelerate.

> Even as China’s coal demand is falling, the output from domestic coal mines is increasing rapidly. This resulted in a major overall drop in coal imports in the first quarter of the year, as reported by China Customs, and allowed coal plants and other operators to fill up stockpiles that were depleted during last year’s coal shortage.

> Investment in new coal- and gas-fired power capacity is also continuing at a high level. In the first four months of the year, at least 18 thermal power projects started construction, with a total capacity of 12.8 gigawatts (GW). Another 19 projects with a total capacity of 13.0GW were approved for construction.
It's an IP, just like 1.0.0.1 (1.1): https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-1111/

https://1.1/

"APNIC's research group held the IP addresses 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. While the addresses were valid, so many people had entered them into various random systems that they were continuously overwhelmed by a flood of garbage traffic. APNIC wanted to study this garbage traffic but any time they'd tried to announce the IPs, the flood would overwhelm any conventional network."
Yes, even the router given by my ISP offers Parental Controls with keyword matching against host name, thanks to SNI.

Agreed. We should be able to view this propaganda for what it is -- inflammatory, vacuous rhetoric, devoid of substance; something which doesn't help us solve the real logistic issues we face in achieving clean, scalable energy.

My wager is on nuclear energy + hydrogen for portable energy. There are lots of issues with this model, but it's loads better than where we are today; and most importantly, it provides a way for us to solve the actual problem rather than slinging blame.
What if it's about who can make others sacrifice, and just not do so themselves? What if we don't want to reduce impact? What happens when the strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must? It's inevitably going to be a conflict over resources and power, like all of human history. Those who willingly self-sacrifice will get dominated by those who do not. Then what? Appeals to universal morality will only work to diminish those who agree to follow them and strengthen those who don't.
ProxMox running containers wherever possible - which is nearly everywhere except for when you need to run different OSs (Windows, Android, etc.). Even the router runs in a container with all the other containers connecting to it through bridges. These bridges are assigned VLANs which are brought out tagged on one of the Ethernet ports which connects to a managed switch which takes care of untagging to specific ports and/or trunking VLANs to the different buildings on the farm.
According to the graph, China’s emissions started rising significantly in the 60s, after their cultural revolution, presumably.

Besides, outsourcing manufacturing to China started many years before the mid 2000s.

Cool quote out of context, but did you read the rest? I have difficulty believing you're arguing in good faith.

If you are arguing in good faith, why are you on HackerNews? Censorship is built-in to the platform with votes and flags, and this is one of the most strictly moderated (censored) social media sites.

This isn't special pleading, it's simple nuance. I don't think it's worthwhile to explain why StackExchange would be worse if they allowed porn, or why HackerNews would be worse if we could compare it disfavorably to Reddit (something you're not allowed to say here.)

If someone is advocating for people to kill you, if they are saying swat them, say they are at this location send attackers over there - in the hope they get hurt... That's just not acceptable. That's what's been happening with that group that cloudflare blocked. Cloudflare said they felt incredibly conflicted, they understood the danger.

Is there any advocation of violence that you think should be blocked? F that guy, lets roll over there and kill is just fine? I think people who believe there is nothing that justifies that aren't someone who is vulnerable.

Warning: Warp exposes your IP to any site that is on CloudFlare. Do not mistake it for a general VPN. It does not protect you from trackers.

This has a surely intentional side effect of incentivizing sites that want to see the real client IP to be behind CloudFlare as well.

"Unix for Programmers and Users" by Graham Glass and King Ables. Really great book that took you through the basics of Unix, the various shells, all the way to programming with system calls, sockets etc. Even dove into filesystem design, inodes etc. All in one reasonably compact book. I love books that can explain complex stuff in few words and do it well. I got it as part of my studies and I had worked through it already by the time I got the class :)

Later he made a special edition for this newfangled "Linux" stuff :) But the one I had was for the original Unix. Linux was already around at that time but still very much beta quality. At college we mainly used HP-UX and Sequent.
Yes, this was the idea. Note taking in plain org is very convenient as you can back it up in a git forge (GitHub or GitLab) and notes can serve as a wiki for a small organization.

However, rendering is missing some features. By using a CI task that generates HTML (using Emacs, but on the cloud) it's possible to overcome this (hopefully temporal) limitation.
I've seen many of these, but none that were all that promising. All I'm looking for is a thin layer over docker-compose - maybe this is that.

He’s probably not going to get a senior software engineer position just by “grinding leetCode” if all he has done is pull tickets off the board in enterprise dev shops without showing “scope” and “impact” and without any system design know how.

That’s not meant to be an insult and from all indications from his question that’s what he has done - which is the same thing most of the 2.7 million devs in the US do. In fact that’s what I did for most of my career until 2 years ago.

The only reason I ended up in $BigTech was because I did have “system design”, project management, requirements gathering, and other soft skills that allowed me to get into the cloud consulting department (yes full time with the same 2 year signing bonus 5/15/40/40 vesting scheduling that all employees get).

I know there is a market for leetCode and I encourage my younger relatives who are graduating in CS to “grind leetCode”. I am pushing back on the thought process that 15 years of enterprise Dev experience means much of anything, at most he can get an SWE II position just by studying a few months.

Should the irreversible changes (for any reasonable amount of time) to our planet affecting all life be dispatched in small parcels?
Well, the science isn’t totally conclusive but raw onions have quite bit more sulphuric compounds which evidently help protect against cancer. Sulforaphane is a compound found in cruciferous vegetables (especially broccoli sprouts for example) which shows a lot of promise as well (blood sugar moderation, reduction of bad cholesterol, cancer protection). It seems like the similar compounds in onions are similarly beneficial, but they’re partially destroyed during cooking.

Another thing is that the outer layers of onions contain crazy amounts of antioxidants which also decrease during cooking. Unfortunately the inner layers, especially in white and yellow onions, have very low levels of antioxidants.

Anyway they are a great food either way. I partially meant they’re a super food in terms of flavour, too. They’re amazing in the right dishes and I think they’re under used and under appreciated (at least where I live).

A cool thing about antioxidants in plants is that you tend to find them in places that the plant wants to protect itself from something. With berries it seems to prevent fungal growth and rot to keep the berries viable for consumption longer, onions’ outer layers prevent infiltration of similar issues, some leaves of plants as well. I find it all really fascinating. Especially fascinating that we’ve adapted to benefit from consuming these protective mechanisms in plants.
if it's going to need much more than that then it probably would make more sense to port the whole application to javascript instead.

While it may have been popularized by BP this is by no means a reason to ignore the emissions caused by an individual.

Call it something else if you'd like but individuals do cause emissions and they should take responsibility to lower and remove them.
