I used this not too long ago: https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync and it stores photos and videos in a YYYY/MM directory structure.

It works extremely well, and you can re-run it any time to sync new files locally too.

I used it like that for a few months before I finally installed syncthing on my phone and stopped using Google Photos altogether.

Now what I do is take photos on my phone, have them sync to a NAS. And on the NAS I used a modified version of this https://forum.syncthing.net/t/android-photo-sync-with-exifto... to build up a YYYY/MM folder organisation and move files older than 30 days from the syncthing folder into my archive. My archive is then in my Plex so it's still accessible to me.

In essence: 1) Take photo (implicit sync to NAS), 2) wait 30 days, 3) archive photo into long term directory naming convention, whilst making available to Plex and deleting the version from my phone (by deleting the syncthing version it will delete the one on the phone after 30 days too).

Not sure that’s a left wing mentality.

counter-examples: the patriot act, military spending, police funding.

The right seems just as happy to support big gov and tow the official/collectivist line when it comes to “law and order”, international power, nationalism, etc.

Put another way, anti-vaxers come in two flavors: right wing conspiracy nuts (alex jones), and left wing flakes (goop).
At 120 V that's 0.36 W (if using both halves of the AC wave), if you use that 10 years non-stop you'll burn 31 KWh, a value of 5-20$ or so, thus if you were to produce many of these devices it would be worthwhile to lower :). But sure, for a one-off it won't matter.

OTOH I'm wondering how you didn't break the LED during the reverse cycles of the AC wave, if you didn't use either a high-voltage diode in sequence or some random diode or second LED in reverse direction in parallel to the first one to bypass the other half of the wave.
isn't it much "easier" to implement some kind of progressive price on energy? first 1000kw/h are "cheaper" than market (per person in household), next 500kw/h double the price, next 500kw/h doubles again etc...
For things like heatpumps you usually have an extra meter with special day/night tarifs (in germany), the rest is metered as general consumption.
I always wonder through how much energy my peers burn, we have a 2 person household with 2 e-bikes which are used regulary + both in home office (heating is gas) and "just" need 1200kw/h pA (and our appliances are not all A++)

Great work, and well-presented findings. I'm really excited to see this in the wild.
People are trying to copy the smartest person in the room, but don't themselves have a good way of evaluating how smart an idea is. When that strategy produces a miss, it produces a rather absurd one (like in this anecdote).

But the strategy itself is good, particularly if the group correctly identifies who has the best ideas. Copying smart people works if you can find them.

Yep, the language that tech companies use is so slimy and dystopian it hurts. Most other companies don't pretend to be your friend and guardian who knows what's best for you better than you know yourself. The tone of many tech companies (starting with Google) in their communication to end users is patronising and frankly offensive.

Part of what’s happening here is a foundational visual design concept known as leading lines.

Our eyes follow lines to their natural conclusion. A boy pointing in a photo, you’ll first follow their arm and hand to where they are pointing.

What’s happening is you as the viewer are following those lines as the first thing you see and then trying to visually parse the various craft that the lines point to.

Hence why for many of us the ufo takes further effort to find, as it is has deliberately been placed outside of the dominant focus area.
I did a web design project in college where I made a combination reminder / clock app based around internet beats. You could mark down when you started working on something and then set down reminders for when things needed to happen, in relative minute or best measurements, and you'd get an automatic countdown that would repeat every day, all backed by Firebase so I could share it between my desktop and my phone. It's probably not around anymore, but it was really fun to use for the few weeks where I was using it full time to help keep track of things.

I did use a slightly different implementation of beats compared to Swatch's though—I found it more elegant and natural to base the "day" of the beats on the UTC timezone, rather then the GMT+1 timezone that Swatch chose for themselves to represent their headquarters in Switzerland.

System dynamics can tell us how things happened, but they struggle to explain why one system took effect and another did not.
Your 'understanding' is rear-view-mirror/past-performance logic and the whole point of "the science" [1] is to communicate that that WILL NOT HOLD.

A 3.5C world is one in which large portions of the tropics (central america, northern africa, the middle east, india and large parts of china) will simply be depopulated. They can leave as refugees or stay as bodies. At 2.5C thats still largely true but say its only half the populations. Nobody is "better off" living through the droughts, famines, and conflicts that lead to that level of depopulation.

Essentially at 3C and above we're doing an irish-famine/holodomor to somewhere between an eighth and a quarter of humanity. To imply they might be 'better off' for it is so grotesque I'll assume you're not a monster and simply don't grasp the 1.5<->3.5C consequence ranges and timeline.

You're confusing liberalism with left. People on the left tend to have as much antipathy towards the average far right western neoliberal government as the extreme right. The existence of extremist authoritarian social conservatives and economic libertarians who have similar antipathy should not be confused for left support of authoritarianism.
Disclaimer: I believe in climate change but I honestly don't think there'll be any meaningful changes until it's economic to do so. Put another way: things like coal power will be replaced with renewables when it's cheaper. This is one reason why plummetting solar prices are so important and impactful.

But there are two things I hate:

1. Citing any kind of single events (eg Hurricane Fiona in this article) as evidence of anything. They're all anecdotes. You could just as easily point to the low activity of the Atlantic hurricane season in the southern states as a positive for climate change. The whole anecdata thing is silly. Please just stop. I realize part of this is journalists trying to make something personal by focusing on a single event but it honestly doesn't help; and

2. People hijacking climate change to push a particular preconceived agenda. Nuclear power is the obvious example. It's a fine discussion point on its own but the ability people have to ignore negatives when pushing their particular agenda never ceases to amaze and is ultimately unhelpful.

This isn't all doom and gloom either. US emissions depending on which you look at actually peaked decades ago (eg [1][2]). Is it enough? Probably not.

Pretty much all problems that exist in the world can be reduced to being energy problems. Food production now is driven by dumping petroleum products on crops (ie fertilizers). Energy costs are a direct input to food costs. Fossil fuel emissions would go away overnight if something renewable was cheaper than fossil fuels. This may seem trite but what I mean is you could sequester CO2 into hydrocarbons and make those things at worst carbon neutral without, say, having to build out a massive grid for EVs (as one example).

Climate change here isn't really a political fight. It's a fight against capitalism. Capitalism knows no political bounds. It seems unlikely capitalism is going away anytime soon so your next best option is make emissions a byproduct of a capitalist endeavour such as cheaper energy.

I think relying on google might be too far, but there is certainly a middle group. My linux tools usage vastly improved by switching to a newer shell , with auto complete, pop up man pages, syntax checking arguments before executing, etc. Same with vim and tmux. Also using modern cli tool replacements that rust made popular. I wasted so much time when I was younger remembering things that provide a very small to no advantage if you do the above instead.

So, I'd say, google can be wrong, the ideal case is modify your existing tools as needed to maximize discoverability and minimize friction to actual documentation

We keep trying to make inferences about what our nice telescopes can see of other planets. Maybe we should build a nice telescope that points at Earth but is on a Voyager-like trajectory. It could keep sending us images of Earth as it gets further away so we can compare those images to what we see of other planets. It would be a our base reference model.
You could focus on those 460 pages but I'll raise 2 points:

1. There's still a lot of complexity and ambiguity you can fit in 460 pages. This presentation notes one example of decrement operators on volatile variables being deprecated because the behaviour was undefined; and

2. Can you really separate the standard library from the language at this point? Things like move semantics depend on std. Does anyone actually use C++ without any of the standard library?
I'm glad to see they're going with Bloom v2.

For context, in Bloom v1, when he was looking for a word to represent the second layer from the bottom, most people in the working group said "understand", but one person (afaik) said "no, when I say understand, I want them to truly understand, not just that". So we had years and years of education courses based on Bloom v1 teaching you that "Bloom is the thing where you're not allowed to use 'understand'" and whether you put that banned word in your course learning outcomes was the shibboleth for whether you were in the cultured education people's ingroup, or one of those philistines who might be able to get great teaching evaluations and their students report learning stuff, but they don't really understand capital-E Education (Theory).

(I've heard anecdotally that at one uni, everyone just did s/understand/comprehend/ for a while, as if a more fancy word had any influence on what's actually taught in the course.)

Then Bloom himself put "understand" back in there in v2. Some people got a lot of egg on their face.

Or at least we have to assume that the people that managed to make the feat that he boasts about, know what they are doing:

>The European electricity grid is a modern miracle. It is the largest synchronous electrical grid (by connected power) in the world. It interconnects 520 million end-customers in 32 countries, including non-European Union members such as Morocco or Turkey.

But then he makes a sharp turn to:

>Here is the thing. The grid builds on physics, not ideology.(...)

...So is the grid a feat of engineering, or ideology? Haven't the decision makers being in contact with the ones who built and maintain this "modern miracle"? Or was this modern miracle the product of pure luck?

To end up on:

>What am I trying to explain?

>Europe will NOT deliver on its climate targets.

>The energy transition is an order of mangnitude more complex than laws or ideology allow for. Accept.

I think he speaks of none other but the telescope that is to come after James Webb. A telescope whose merest operational parameters we are not worthy to calculate - and yet astronomers will design it for you. A telescope which can show us the question to the Ultimate answer, a telescope of such infinite and subtle complexity that organic life itself will form part of its operational matrix. And humanity shall take on new forms and go down into the telescope to navigate its ten million year programme. Yes, we shall design this telescope for you, and the astronomers shall name it for you. And it shall be called the [insert name here].

Banning CFCs to fix the ozone hole over Oceania/Antarctica. Scientific consensus was CFCs were directly responsible for the problem, countries around the globe got together and mandated the use of different refrigerants with the Montreal Protocol in 1987. Every single member of the UN ratified the agreement. It's regarded as one of if not the most effective international environmental agreement ever. Potentially saved millions of lives with reduced skin cancer cases.

Yeah, ~ 1.5x in relation to their respective aphelions (farthest orbital distance to the Sun)

But, yes - if you will - the area of the solar system consequently has more than doubled; which has nicer ring to it :)

To be exact if my numbers are correct:

πab = πa² √(1-e²)

Uranus (a = 19.19126 AU; e = 0.04717)

⇒ ~ 1155.755 AU²

Neptune (a = 30.07 AU; e = 0.008678 (what a neat circle!))

⇒ ~ 2840.54 AU²

i.e. approx. 2.46x the former area

> Engineering leaders, in my view, are gardeners, not bottleneck-clearers. As I wrote above, the priority of leaders should be culture - psychological safety, pride of workmanship, compelling narratives, and such.

I've seen this sentiment go way too far at times. A leader's job is to make the organization more effective. Sometimes that means clearing a bottleneck, sometimes it is building a culture. If you think your job is that specific, you're one situation away from losing it.
And the latter part is wrong: France is mostly nuckear, Germany to a huge extent coal, gas has close to no significance when it comes to electricity in Germany. Norway is hydro, as is Austria.

And the share of renewables in Texas was negligible when the frid broke down, that was due to failing gas power plants because of low temperatures.
Doubt it. A huge airship would be needed to lift multiple shipping containers. It would be cheaper to expand the ports and lay more rail lines.
> I am interested to read your article as I am open to changing my mind, but I know for a fact that this quoted bit will not happen to any meaningful degree.

Well I am also open to changing my mind -- would you mind explaining how you know this? Is the implication here that the regulation and operational heft of banks will be sure to apply to any new challengers?

> In the scenario you posit, the market has to have consolidated around a few key players. Coinbase wins over Visa for instance. What incentive does CB then have to charge lower prices to merchants? Why shouldn't they help themselves to the same margins that Visa were enjoying?

I think that it's natural for markets to consolidate around a few key players, almost inevitable in the capitalistic system.

I'm positing that it is much easier to challenge Coinbase than it is to challenge any existing banking infrastructure in the US, so you get a much better chance of actual competition and prices being pushed down.

The pool of people who can start a crypto exchange and the group of people who can open up a bank in the US are of wildly different size.

Depends on where your empathy goes. You also have to consider the life of the one carrying the foetus, and the life that a being that is not yet sentient would get if it were to live. I don't see any inconsistency with being vegetarian in that respect.

Refusing to eat mussels but being supportive of abortion would seem inconsistent, though... As well as being fearlessly against abortion while enjoying a piece of a cow one in a while seems very inconsistent, if you set aside religious believes.

Eating a lot of greens, nuts, tofu etc etc, a balanced diet, but maybe not balanced enough.

I wasn't eating red meat for a while, I stayed with chicken and fish, which I don't believe are great sources of iron, then I started to feel better. I got back into red meat later on, maybe 6 months later.

I think I was eating a balanced diet, but not good enough. I did try vegetarian again for a few years at a later stage. This time, I was working from home and cooking a LOT of curries with legumes etc, I seemed to feel good and I was monitoring my mental health closely. I made sure to do a bit more protein. I would've just ate meat again if I didn't feel well but I never ended up depressed like before. The experiment ended however when I moved to another country where it was just too hard to cook and prepare vegetarian again, so I don't have much more to add unfortunately.

Maybe eating vegetarian is ok if one has a lot of time for it?
