The internet doesn't intrinsically consume fossil fuels and never has.

It consumes electricity.

We need to focus our attention on the electricity production sector. Tax fossil fuel burning to internalize the social cost it puts on all of us, and let the free market eradicate the burning because it can't compete against cleaner sources. Consumers like datacenters will always end up clustering around the cheapest electricity source that's close enough to population centers for latency requirements.

As someone who believes climate change is a very real, existential threat to civilization, it's incredibly frustrating to see articles like this that misdirect our attention at consumers, when the only real solution will come by focusing on producers.

It's a waste of time, attention, and political capital that we can't afford.
Would you use LXD in production?
I gave up on sending email myself and switched to smtp2go. I couldn't even get gmail to deliver my custom domain's email if I sent it from home (it was including my home IP in the outgoing headers!).

For low-volume home use, I definitely recommend just outsourcing SMTP to a company that does it professionally.
Agreed we need to move off fossil fuels. Nuclear never had the potential to replace fossile fuels though, not 50 years ago, and not now IMO. Fossil fuels can only be replaced now with recent advances in electrification of transport and industry, and a general awareness about the climate impact that the burning fossil fuels has.

The question is where do we get the energy to power this electrification? Through a potentially hazardous, expensive technology like nuclear or through cheap, safe and environmentally friendly, sustainable sources like sun, wind, wave and deep geothermal? The answer will become evident in the next decades, but I know what I'm rooting for at least.

And oh, you might like to hear that the entire Great Barrier Reef is not really destroyed, yet. But we need to act soon, in the right direction.
Yeah, apologies for my post before the extra links loaded for me. Definitely should have either worded it with the expectation that the link was that study, or waited.

My intent was to express that surprise that they didn't have studies showing benefit. That is, the implication that really surprised me was the reverse, that there are not studies showing it works.

There's this Godard quote which sums this one up for me: "All great fiction films tend towards documentary, just as all great documentaries tend towards fiction." (I think the director mentioned it in an interview too?)

I can see the students could take the advantages of this game to geometry lecture. Not only fun but also educational. Thank you.
No not entirely the ESG policies. They cut their own supply when they cancelled Nord Stream 2 and confiscated Russian Euro reserves, essentially ending their ability to "print" a petro-euro for cheap energy. This was certainly a move in response to the war, but it was still their own choice.

Putin wanted to wage the war in Ukraine and still sell energy to Europe. Europe chose not to continue the 2nd part by various sanctions. Now Putin escalates by cutting further supply in response to sanctions (i.e. not getting paid for the energy he was shipping through pipelines)

That's not what happened with CORBA, J2EE, microservices ... People have all sorts of reasons for using something heavier than what is required - from CV enhancement to combating boredom.
Generally speaking rental apartments are high density units, often with garages or parking lots. It sure probably looks daunting from an individual renter perspective, and most rental owners are a bit fat and lazy once they get their revenue streams, so they are slow to change.

....

Anyway medium density apartments: SHOULD be very cost effective and efficient and centralized compared to home solar. There should be economic and policy targets around this due to the "bang for the buck", especially with the explosive growth of what I believe is called 5+1 apartments.

If the % occupancy is that high for renters overall in the state, it should be front and center of Californian policy and really all urban prep for BEVs. Yeah I understand that it doesn't always work that way in politics.

The other part of this is that rental owners need to realize that BEVs will be ubiquitous in urban housing and to maintain competitive position in the market place they'll have to provide this feature. Rental owners have long term revenue streams to offset or load against and reap longer term profitability, because solar is profitable over a couple decades of normal consumer power.

It can also provide a luxury feature in an allegedly "rickety" grid. Do your "Luxury apartments" (everything is luxury apartments these days) provide air conditioning regardless of brownouts? Home solar + storage provides that. I'd say in california that would be a MASSIVE marketplace advantage.

So we have the carrots. The whip will probably be a requirement to provide it, but that is city policy.

Rental parking lots are perfect for solar arrays, and likely a spot can be sacrificed for a battery, if not there is usually roof space. High rise apartment buildings are different beasts, usually surrounded by commercial buildings that can have solar on their roofs and the net supply of rooftop solar should provide near-independence, and usually the grid isn't as big a deal in super high density cities.

Home solar definitely needs policy attention to get the costs down. Long term solar is cheaper than not having solar, the issue is the upfront cost, and that is policy and incentives.

If you are an apartment owner, or apartment owners in general, I'm sure there is a group or lobby that represents them. Get ahead of this, it should not be hard to argue for special apartment building incentives to get home solar and charging infrastructure to prep for BEV. They should NOT be the trailing adopters.

I am a high rise condo occupant. It's tough because I want a charging station in my car space, but from the individual perspective I'm sure I'd get charged for providing the core capability of delivery to the building and that would be massive.

These installations need top-down incentives, because they need a more "industrial" hookup and setup. Not that implies its more expensive per unit, but a sort of all-or-nothing thing is implied, and that needs policy to spur.
Yeah, looking at you Verizon FIOS.
I don't have any at hand, but look for the registrars in your own country, and if none are good enough for you, look for registrars in the European Union.

Do not use US American registrars at any cost, you will regret it eventually.

My guess? They use an agency to service their website and made the license in PDF so the org can change it without incurring additional cost of an update.
Odin emerged partly out of the "Handmade Network" which is a group of people interested in a style of programming that is very different from what is usually accepted by the rest of the industry as best practice.

It’s about the cruelty that happens in the animal industry. Minks, dogs, gooses, cows, pigs, horses, camels and a lot more. Watching that has changed my life quite a bit.
Nah!

Using Rust at first was hard, but now I move faster than using F#, Python, Swift, Kotlin. I know, with apples-to-apples, I use the SAME project that I have moved to Rust and still keep parts on that languages (for UI or utilities).

The same things that make Rust hard at first, become a "base layer" and a force multiplier.

Each time you compile (and lint with clippy for example) your code stay and continue to be robust.

Each time more people use Rust, better and more crates with functionality emerge, reducing the surface area of things that need to go elsewhere.

And you can refactor, remove crates and add others, even with a totally different API surface, with more confidence and speed that most languages.

And more info, and more tutorials, and more SOLUTIONS, with great docs! and tests! and benchmarks! and cross-compiled! that are far easier to apply than most languages.

Rust is a force multiplier and the cost pay off and more and more with time.

BTW: I'm a solo developer that support a medium size niche eCommerce app, that need turn-overs measures on minutes/hours and at most, days. I mean: 10:00 am a problem, 10:30 am ship code to CI. Repeat all the time.

I CAN'T afford anything that go against productivity and that is the reason I move lang/tech each time I see anything, whatever, that give any advantage.

Upper level proof based math courses are much better in my experience (speaking as someone with a BA in philosophy who has been taking math courses part time for the past few years)
I find the 0.5em character width reduces readability somewhat. YMMV.
I got a masters in cs at the age of 48 and i would do it again! My rationale was this: I wanted to learn about ML and NLP and was willing to risk a certain amount of money to do it. I figured that if I could increase my earning power enough to repay myself in 5 years, then it would be well worth it (that worked out easily). I don’t think there is any way to dive into theory outside of school. And I think the collaboration can’t be matched in the workplace. You will stand out! Your work experience probably won’t help you much!

Data caps aren't really a thing in the US, at least as far as every internet provider I have ever used.
I recommend Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control by Errol Morris. It’s a series of interviews with passionate geniuses in various areas, including a naked mole rat scientist.

I watched it in the 90s and gave me awareness that there’s people who have very deep interest in a subject and achieve fulfillment in studying and working in an area.

Morris directed many other good documentaries- Thin Blue Line, Fog of War- but I think FCOoC is his best.

Also Herzog’s Fitzcarraldo (there’s a documentary and a fictional portrays) is interesting to show how someone can work on a seemingly pointless and impossible task. This was helpful in programming as frequently areas of interest seem so confusing to people outside my mind.
Meh. This was all solved decades ago with the turbo encabulator.
It is an Iosevka.
was the law intended by the legislators to apply to individual, single family home builds?

like, did their definition match the one you referenced that includes a single home?
France having gone the extra 2000 miles & building breeder reactors is chef kiss. It's much harder, but using more than 1% or 2% of the energy in the fuel & burning your wastes feels like the only acceptable long term solution. Storing vast quantities of nuclear waste indefinitely, as most reactors do, is something we are still bad at, will probably never be good at, and is a problem that will far outlast any kind of imaginable forseeable future. The only responsible path seemingly available is to burn up transuranics & other waste, to build fast reactors.

But that doesnt seem to be where nuclear design has headed. Cheaper plants that externalize the infinitely long storage costs seems to be the reckless path we're on. We should do nuclear, but do it well, that doesnt spawn vast nuclear waste storage problems.
Seems like a business opportunity: a load balancing rule that sends EU requests to your log-free tracker-stripping static file-generating server appliance (possibly EU hosted) which has google Adsense on it and a GDPR responder that responds to every GDPR request specifying all that.
"Dig!", the documentary about a band named the Brian Jonestown Massacre. Introduced me to psychedelic rock, and lead singer Anton Newcombe is the prototypical mad musical genius. I got the impression that he and his lead guitarist Matt Hollywood had kind of a modern-day Mozart/Salieri relationship, and tambourinist Joel Gion adds such a funny dynamic to the group.
Very cool idea, but what I'd need more often is something that will take a pile of memes and put them together into a perfect post.
Small correction, NVidia Cg was only the first on PC.

We had Renderman on NeXT, TI TMS34010, and a couple of other attempts outside the PC world.
I have an undefined identifier: Color::shocked. Which one would you like me to #define for you? I'd go for pink :)
"prototyping quickly" and "quick rampup" are for me a bit contradictory to "weak typing is a deal breaker". If I do not have to define types for everything, I am WAY faster with my prototypes.

Also given that it is frontend land, I am not sure any of the tools now available will be available (and compatible) in 10 years. And because it is a side project I would not spend one second worrying about 10 years from now.

HN will not tell you what you will like. Every now and then a question like this is asked and people just tell OP the tools they currently use.

I guess it would be best to create a mini app (reading a list of things from a backend and render it and maybe delete something from the list) in two or three frontend frameworks and then choose the one that felt the nicest for you.

As for design I guess Tailwind CSS is something for you. It is easy to make web sites that look nice. (All tailwind CSS sites look kind of the same, but this is OK)

Good luck with you project!

Nextjs + React.

Typescript support, strong community, plenty of Jobs in the extreme case something happens.

This is coming from a Vuejs fan. I still use it but I switched to Nextjs and I don't regret it.
Let's say you have 14 derived facts (eg aggregations, computations involving joined tables, etc) about a SalesPerson. Do create 14 single-column views? Or have one view with 14 columns? Either way the composability is terrible. If you go with 14 views, the syntax is awful and not very resistant to refactoring. If you go with one view, you will eventually end up paying a performance cost for computations you actually aren't using in certain places (barring incredible and maybe impossible advancements in query optimization).
Guessing: data science & algorithms.
Oh no, dear 25 y/o, please don’t intimidate me with your words about yonder years.
I am not a pilot, not even a little bit;

But I was under the impression that pilot training has a lot of attention on recovery from a stall or spin, and unless at low altitude, those are generally recoverable (in a small aircraft). Would love for someone with actual knowledge to weigh in, thanks!

Dear god no. The use and reliance on both US and Israeli stuff has to end.
Are the "Ip Man" films supposed to be based on this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ip_Man ?

The few clips I have seen seem to have no relation to the life of the historical figure whatsoever. It is so disappointing when they make a film with a real historical figure and then distort their story out of all recognition (e.g. "Dragon" for Bruce Lee and "Imitation game" for Alan Turing).
.EU domains were always restricted to entities in the EEA.

I don't know how useful that is in practise, but it's not the only CCTLD with this restriction.
The distinction between make and new is similar to Go.

new allocates memory for the given type.

make allocates memory referenced by the type.

For example, a slice is defined as:

slice :: struct {
data: rawptr,
length: int
}

When you make a slice, you don't allocate space for the struct. You allocate space for the data to be referenced by the struct.

> Umm, so there is a build system, but it's just integrated into the compiler? What is the benefit here? Rust has an excellent build system out of the box (cargo), but it's still separate from the compiler itself.

What's the benefit of not having the build system integrated into the compiler?

Ideally if you are not linking to external libraries, and all the code is in the language, you don't want to go through the typical stages of the C compiler where it first produces object files and then links them. You want to just produce the final exe directly. I don't think Odin does this - at least at this point - but anyway messing around with object files should be considered obsolete.
Next.js (React framework), Tailwind CSS, NextAuth.js, React-Query (tanstack/query).

These are the current most well regarded and largest traction Typescript projects on the frontend.

Then, if you don’t need server-side state, your entire backend can be run from Next.js serverless and Prisma ORM.
This meaning my comment, or the tax?

If it's the tax, yes I agree. It takes a complex issue and over-simplifies it.

If it's my comment, I'm not discounting the pain. I'm annoyed that we have a bad habit of trying to fix problems by "treating" symptoms.
There's a YouTube channel called "CHRONOS-MEDIA History" that has a lot of archival footage from that era. A couple ones I found interesting were a clip with American and German officers casually working together to coordinate a German surrender/withdrawal at the end of the war, and a German propaganda piece from before the war (?) where the skyline of the village they're in matches 1:1 with one of my vacation photos.
Google’s New AI: Fly into Photos
According to this list[0] some Samsung Galaxy S20 does support it, as does the Pixel 5 (and 4 and 6). Google also lists both models as having L5 support[1].

Of course the best way of knowing if your phone supports it is to test it yourself.

Yes learned this the hard way with 3d.st . The operators of the .st domain were somehow affected by "force majeure" timed coincidentally around new sanctions on Russia. Essentially the country-approved TLD operator no longer responded to support requests for months. We switched to .org instead
These bricks are exactly the same as normal legos and of course they are compatible. I can't differentiate from real legos unless I check if they have the lego logo on them. So I'm not sure this is a problem with these bricks...
The Act of Killing - it's hard to even describe the premise. Its a present-day (2012) profile on participants in the 1960s mass killings in Indonesia. An absolutely brutal look into human nature.

Fear of 13.

Captivating storytelling by the subject of the story. It's the life story of a man who spent 21 years on death row for a murder he had nothing to do with. He eventually cancelled all his appeals and requested his sentence be carried out.

The often not considered factory is the type of pilots that are attracted to (or advertised at) Cirrus's are generally considered to be high risk / low hours / non-current, so the accident stats are even more remarkable.
I love Svelte and SvelteKit but if you're just interested in building your app, please pick something else for now. It's still constantly changing and while it's good it's being developed rapidly, it's definitely not something you want to spend your limited time on migrating while you could just be productive with say React.

Okay sure, they have had big breaking changes in-between major versions as well, but before SvelteKit hits v1.0 you're better off using something more stable. Later you can certainly choose to migrate as the core logic probably is not that complex. If you're using rich-text editing capabilities however, React is more supported.
Hello world!

We're Virtual Cosmos, a new social network for personal development (e.g problem-solving, mental health), and we would be beyond grateful if you could spend anywhere between 1 to 5 minutes on our website to check out our MVP... and then another 2min to graciously drop your feedback here :)

Hacker News platform came to our attention during YC Startup School 22 and we simply couldn't pass this promising chance to get our first real-world feedback from such a proactive & friendly community like this one.

Here is Virtual Cosmos 101:

1. create a unique and anonymous profile that defines your character qualities/mental health traits, strengths/weaknesses and problems

2. get matched with others who are similar

3. speak plainly about your problems and find solutions together

We aim at Virtual Cosmos to grant you access to an exciting world that will bring forth much needed change within your mental health and wellbeing, while also revolutionizing the way you communicate and network with one another for a better and healthier future. We're slowly getting there and would love to hear what you think of our progress so far.

...So long and thanks for all the fish!
Both my websites pass the tests because they are hosted on SAP (through Heroku). It seems that they just have to be partners of the website and to provide "proofs" that I could not find listed on the website:

However much of an injustice they were, the US closed its internment camps (via constitutional balances) without the need for coersion by foreign powers. That to me makes them much more forgivable than Jim Crow or Gitmo.
I have never taken a philosophy class that involved tests or naming philosophical ideas. The work of an academic philosopher is to write papers (like an academic historian or sociologist), so a philosophy degree should focus on writing papers. Often the papers will be analyzing previous philosophical work and attempting to present some novel synthesis of it, either with itself or with some broader context. Neither "giving moral dilemmas" nor "quizzes about history" fit anywhere into that picture.
