I was actually on a 40mph road earlier today when I passed a side street with a 20mph sign that had been rotated to face the main road. My car was then insisting it was 20 for the rest of the road.

Nope. 1 is not a property name that can be used with the dotted notation because it begins with a figure.

foo.bar().1 + baz() gives:

Uncaught SyntaxError: unexpected token: numeric literal

The following:

foo.bar()
.1 + baz()

is equivalent to:

foo.bar();
.1 + baz();

The parser will find this syntax error, backtrack and insert a semicolon (Automatic Semicolon Insertion applies).

Interestingly, I tried to run the following in the browser console:

{}.1

And it runs. It gives 0.1. This is probably because {} is interpreted as an empty block (of statements), I guess. The following gives the same result:

{};.1

The following is a parse error:

({}).1

I tried the following to convince myself that {} is evaluated as an empty block, so I went further.

The following works:

{a:2}.1

... because a: is a label. you really need to try with "two properties" to see a syntax error:

{a:2, b:2}.1

Gives: Uncaught SyntaxError: unexpected token: ':' (character 7). A label cannot be introduced after the comma operator... (yes, because it is a comma operator! {a:2, console.log("hello")}.1 prints "hello" and its result is 0.1)

(WAT?)

edit: {;}.1 and {;;}.1 also work of course.

Also, global GDP is $80,934,771,028,340[1]. So, if that doubles to 160 in 2050, that means that we’d burned $3,200,000,000,000[2] in vain in just 2050. That’s not chump change.

If you were in charge of collecting money for school lunches, and a kid happened to try to pay for lunch with fake money, would you object? If you could feign ignorance and say you just didn’t know it was fake, would you let it slide, or would you tell the kid they won’t be eating today? Maybe they’re just messing with you, or maybe they don’t actually have the money.

It’s possible the lunch lady didn’t know, it’s possible she didn’t care, or it’s possible she knew exactly what she was doing.

I know you are joking, but one-liners in Perl are a long-standing tradition, and also the way many people learn some of the language's intricacies. Once you have your prototypical one-liner down pat, you grab it and make it into a properly formatted sub in your source code.

For me, this is probably the main reason why I cannot abide space-sensitive languages such as Python.

Some bridges and tunnels are also not electrified in Austria but electric trains still pass through them on their massive inertia alone. It's really not a big issue for trains.
The author of the opinion pieces you cited is apparently relying on this study regarding cold deaths:

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5...

But his interpretation is dubious at best because the study is not about climate change! The reduction in deaths attributed to cold or heat might not be connected to climate change at all, the study doesn't say anything about it. That's solely the author's interpretation. From the actual study (which is also pure speculation because their method doesn't provide this causality): "The results indicate that global warming might slightly reduce the net temperature-related deaths, although, in the long run, climate change is expected to increase mortality burden."

He also doesn't provide a clear source for his claims on economic development, so I'm still sceptical.
I think it's just an example of "different strokes for different folks".

I like the rad commie bird logo in the top left of the banknote's front!

Anyone knows what it signifies?
This. The capital costs are huge, such that it only makes marginal sense on a financial basis alone. You get further factoring in service improvements (lighter trains without diesel engines -> faster acceleration -> shorter journey tines), the societal benefits of decarbonisation, and electric trains breaking down less often, but that only moves the viable point so far.

In the extreme case, a railway which is 200 miles long and takes 3 trains a day will never have a positive financial case for electrification. So once you've electrified all the stuff that should have been done decades ago (like main lines with 10 trains an hour) and then pushed on to the marginal stuff (hourly rural lines) there's still a small core of lines left. You could just bite the bullet and electrify them anyway, or you could go with things like battery electric trains (good for short distances off an electric mainline) or biodiesel/green hydrogen. The latter are likely to be cheaper.
As discussed above, that claim is not supported by anything. The study you cited doesn't give this as a result.
He means "synergy" is the buzz word, resulting in superlinear scaling.

Psychedelic popularity goes in waves, but it never really "takes off" the way stimulant and opiate use does. I suspect it's due to the radomness of bad trips, basically.

There's been some interesting research that for most drugs, effects are heavily mediated by expectation - if you don't expect to enjoy it, you almost certainly won't, and the effect it has on you is likewise very learned - there are many cultures where they don't believe alcohol makes you more social, for instance, and where consequently, it doesn't.

But psychedelics are the big exception. They really do "work". But the flip side of that while you may get a wonderful experience despite not expecting one, you may also get a very bad one. And "guidance" isn't reliable in avoiding it, precisely because it's not expectation driven like other drugs.

Rain with leaves on the road is really the biggest problem. With the normal mountain bike tyres snow is giving good grip and not an issue. But if you can't cycle for two full months per year that's fine if you switch back for the rest of the year.

Maybe a version of this book written by someone who didn't think the following quote was worth including

> A family court judge: “Child support is the government’s way of seeing how many women will work as whores if you give them a paycheck and a job title of 'single mom'.”

might be more informative.

[Particularly the notion that we've set up varrious economic incentives that might be against our personal and collective well being is one worth exploring objectively, --- but the frequent moralizing really gets in the way.]

Eeech, the ill-advised quotes get worse:

> Women have the right to fuck whoever they want, what is the point of owning pussy? 5. As a result, non-white populations will eventually out-breed and conquer the silly white people

This is part of a long quote but the book's authors still saw fit to include it.
They're doing that more here (putting neutral sections with reduced clearance under bridges) but it doesn't save everything. A major disadvantage of being early to the railway game is that we have amongst the most restrictive structure gauge in the world.

It also turns out that we've repeatedly stopped and restarted our electrification campaign over the last hundred years, such that we have little persistent expertise and excessive costs per km. So it's not just tunnels and bridges.
Our prototype just screwed onto the sign post and could be aimed that way. We never added it to the prototype, but having an accelerometer added to detect movement and shutting down/calling home would help with damage or vandalism.

The normalisation of the rituals is part of the problem.

The public proclamations of the accession of Charles to King have included representatives of the state, military, police, and church. They have been made in public spaces. The mildest of protestations have resulted in arrests (albeit very few, and by seemingly confused police officers).

For me, the issues here are around obeisance and imposition. Apparently it's fine and "normal" for some elite [1] class of people to march into public spaces and make declarations that cannot be challenged.

The ornate outfits and ceremony are there to indicate a few things, the most obvious being that you are not one of them. In the strange post-modern Western world, pompous ceremonies come across as quaint and fun, another one of those bizarre things that the upper classes apparently get up to, silly them, aren't they funny hahaha. But it's not quaint, it's a public declaration that a tiny number of the ultra-priveleged still call the shots.

Bizarrely it seems that we lap it up. The message is almost subliminal now: you're there and we're here, and that's the way it's going to stay.

[1] I know the word elite is a dog-whistle but have you seen these dudes?? A more florid flaunting of elitism is hard to imagine.
But it's "fooling" you into thinking that it's been "fooled". There is no tricking. You just didn't prevent the model from presenting this as an output.

Get real! It's not an attack it's just honestly laziness on the part of you since this must be your chatbot that you have trained and deployed. Consider all of the things that a user could input and if you don't want the program outputting to the user a certain type of output then you have to make sure that output can't be a possibility.

Chatbots are trained bullshitters. Sociopathic bullshitters. They tell you, the user, what it thinks it should tell you.

I think you are mis-reading your parent comment. They are saying we should be humble when it comes to predicting all the things that could happen when manipulating such a complex system as the climate. If our best science is saying there are at least 6 different ways in which we are already causing harm, then it stands to reason there are probably more dangers than that that our science can't yet predict. I think they are saying, let's always assume there are details that we won't understand and act on that basis, i.e. put on the kevlar vest and work towards removing carbon gases from the atmosphere.

There isn't a JSON transport protocol either. And EDI is not a format; it's a general reference for multiple data standards and the rules for exchanging data instances of them.
One of the issues is that people have different opinions of what EDI is, which is confusing, pretty much as what their views about API are. Although the definition of EDI and API is expected to be "standardized", everyone seems to have their own flavor of it :) Pun intended.

What exactly is your point, that these tipping points don't exist and we will never reach them? This is an extremely complex system and it's hard to predict. The fact is we're trending towards these things, not away from them. That's undebatable. So what message are you trying to convey exactly, that everything is fine and this is just scaremongering nonsense?
Start with security in the MCU chip design and work your way up from there. If we can't secure computers they are very soon going to become useless. They are already starting to feel like they are more trouble than they are worth (ransomware and other attacks are destroying the functioning of health care, government, the military, and more), and I say that as someone who has spent their whole life working with them and likes them. I worked on computer security research over the last decade and there was a lot of hand waving ("APT's are too difficult to protect against, so we won't consider that, it's out of scope"). Now the chickens are coming home to roost and APT's are indeed a concern at every level. It only takes one person to turn an APT into a scripted hack that anyone can use (witness what has been happening with the CIA's revealed attacks). Supply chain security is a new concern when it should have been obvious for decades.

The alternative is to build a world where everyone is nice. This is the preferred solution but it seems more difficult to create than a secure system for computing. Maybe one approach to secure computing would be to invent a new paradigm for non-networked computing that does everything we can do now, but is just slower to use.
Just to add that the majority of geoengineering methods currently proposed - particularly those that reduce absorbed solar radiation (such as stratospheric sulfate and marine cloud brightening) come with some significant side-effects.

Many proposed geoeningeering methods don't treat the problem but just mask the symptoms. For starters, CO2 heats the surface and the atmosphere, but solar radiation primarily heats the surface.

This means you cannot use a reduction in incoming sunlight to fully offset CO2 warming - if you get the surface temperature correct, the atmosphere is still warmer and so you get less rain. For many regions, a reduction on rain might be more important - we wouldn't want to end up killing the Amazon rainforest by accident!

The earth is a complex system that is true, and if you know what that means, it means it is impossible to accurately predict with any consistency what will happen in the future.

I don’t think it is “being careful” to promulgate relentless doomerism with no self reflection as to whether or not your predictions panned out in the past.

I do think we should be mindful of earth ecosystems. I think it would be better to do that in ways that are concretely addressable and quantifiable. Not the climate doom religion fear mongering , buy my carbon offset, or pat me on the back for my corporate green washing.

No mention of the Ibis, unaffectionately known as the Bin Chicken. But in the denser cities, they are mangey bin foragers who break open garbage bags, fight and make a mess. I quite like them as they are not a pain in my city, they are quite elegant in their full glory.

With a wingspan that can be up to 40-50inches/100-125cm wingspan they are a surprisingly big bird to be lurking around the city. I definitely wouldn't want to make one mad.
