I think you are not considering the difference in efficiency between a power plant and a car with an internal combustion engine. Switching to electric just because of that is worth in the long term and additionally, some of the power comes from clean sources so even more so.

I saw a video in YT where in a state like Utah in the US an ev becomes greener after the equivalent of few tens of gas tanks (don't remember the number). Will try to find out the sources.
What is the issue? Now there’s a goddamn paper trail of who asked for it and then the entity performed it. Get that shit in discovery if there’s actual harm. Odds are it’s mostly pearl clutching about how somebody’s elephant ballet porn got kicked out or some other dumb stuff.

Context:

Recently I went through a very toxic workplace gig that caused a severe mental episode, of issues I’ve known and been working to treat, but it damn near killed me and definitely hurt my family a LOT. After consulting with attorneys, the only recourse would be fiscally stupid - it would cost more to use the courts than recoup. These were good attorneys who felt very bad for what I went through.

That’s when I had the epiphany that the MSA handcuffs don’t mean shit unless they can prove harm in court. At that point, they are wasting shareholder money and company time on a personal vendetta - as a private company, that can be their choice, but it’s objectively stupid.

I’m still on the fence about going full name and shame, but they denied my unemployment claim so I was able to inform the workforce commission about their payments for works performed were more than a week after the law mandates…so I’ll let the professionals look into my claims before I let the whole peanut gallery take a crack at it.

My point? There are probably fewer than 10 cases where this will have significant juice to be worth fighting. Those will be worth it. Your elephant ballet pr0n? Plenty of republican message boards that would probably love to be flooded with that content.

They might say they want you to stop, but don’t mind that nonsense.

feature request: convert the css to react style objects. i hate that i need to use react styles (just fix jsx! urgh.) but i had to constantly use https://staxmanade.com/CssToReact/ to convert it
> I don't really get your attitude here

My attitude here is that I made a specific observation: JSON is likely to be faster or at least negligibly slower in browsers in practice.

Everyone is replying either with theoretical speed comparisons or server-to-server non-JavaScript benchmarks, which don't seem relevant to my very specific observation I made up top...
Only in programs with 100% cpu use?

If Python or JS sit idle waiting for user input, are the efficiencies really so different?

Developer time also has energy cost in AC, transport, etc for a human.

What about the fact that the cost of web inefficiency is offloaded to the user? Users pay the power bill for the overcomplicated, slow, unnecessarily CPU intensive front end.

So, at a surface level, what you say is true, but the deeper picture is complicated.

The tooling, too, has gone a certain way... making a native GUI is now slower, less documented, less catered-to than web UI; in my opinion, for most simple to moderately complex UIs, native is going to take twice as long to make look good... but that inverts, in my experience, as the program and UI become more complicated.

It's also strange that the UI itself is so bloated and developmentally time consuming. We lived on the CLI once -- maybe in some not too distant future a killer app can once again show consumers the power of the command line. After all, google/Siri/Alexa do just that.
Well, for months Russia has been losing, and yet they have taken over what, 20% of Ukraine's territory and today I heard The Telegraph say that they have knocked out 40% of Ukraine's energy system.

So pardon me for being confused.

The upfront cost may plummet if you don't need to redevelop and replace your entire tooling every five or so years.
But you don't need to know that for the reproducibility of your product. That's a problem for the maintainer of that crate, but you know that you're getting the same Rust code every time.
Interesting to know thanks. How much capacity are we expecting to have after say half of this time?

I wonder how this will affect resale value compared to odometer values on ICE vehicles now.
He's riding a fixie (presumably it's a fixie race). On a downhill, your legs are slowing you down; presumably he would have gained some advantage just by taking his feet off the pedals, but this would give a bit more advantage.
Thanks swyx <3

Nice, yes, I plan to add "copy to react" feature soon. Will let you know when it's ready
I just never get why people always flame on systemd. Sure, it's kinda bloated in the sense that it is "battery included" just like Python, but the intention to have a stable init with great system and service management is very good from both a DevOps and Sysadmin perspective. It is at least much better than writing your adhoc init.d script that may not guarantee to run on other Linux distros.
This, anything you tell your doctor you should assume is available to the police.
You’re wrong in both points
Exactly. There's no incentive to pass efficiency savings on to consumers vs just making more profit.

Also, the types of efficiency savings that may be made by monopolies can be fragile. For example, implementing a standard component from one vendor across an entire industry renders that industry more vulnerable to bugs or faults on the component or the vendor going bankrupt.
Yes, "updating all clients in one place" is what I meant by distribution. Windows distribution suffered for many years from problems like:

- Very high latency

- No support for online updates

- Impossible to easily administer

Cross platform was much less of a big deal when web apps started to get big. Windows just dominated in that time. Not many people cared about macOS Classic back then and desktop UNIX didn't matter at all. Browsers were nonetheless way easier to deal with than Windows itself.

Agree that killing piracy was a really big part of it. Of course, you can implement core logic and shared databases with non-web apps too, and the web has a semi-equivalent problem in the form of ad blockers.

I suspect an overwhelming majority of use cases is for this reason alone.
Yes, I mean that's one of the things you probably want to turn on anyway for a useful experience (if you curate the instance list as like all things like this there are fly by instances that either disappear or start serving up malware) - but really your own instance is probably better, non public and known quantity
Why assume? You can copy-paste the code and see how it works.

Most pure CSS checkboxes make heavy use of pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements - but it is very possible to make these sliders without JS!
The author, Thomas Milovac, discusses in the article the following three points: that «Science [does not] "tell[] you what to do"», that «[The practice in] Science is [not] value-free», that «[The construction of] Science is [not] unbiased».

Occasional context aside, pretty basic notions, that some paternalistic panic blown in the past years has seen obscured.

When I see “manages user sessions,” I don’t know what that phrase means. What is a “session” (again assuming not a POSIX session leader) and what are we concretely doing to “manage” it?

Is there a guide that explains the bare minimum that typical end users need to know to stop systemd from breaking use cases that have worked for years? I would never expect a non-sysadmin to have read the “systemd-run” or “loginctl” manpages or know how to find them. I’m a nerd and even I don’t know how to get to the point of understanding what https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/systemd-run.1.html is trying to tell me.
> I know which I'd rather have. If you were going to spend £50k on a new car today, you'd be mad if it wasn't electric.

Well that's my point; why would I spend £50k on a car ;because it's electric; when I could spend say, £35k on a very nice, probably more specced one that isn't?
I have done the opposite: I'm reading much more than before. But instead of reading only one mainstream news outlet, I'm now subscribed to a variety of quality RSS feeds. These include news, blogs, Hacker News, startup stuff, financial. Across these I get around 400 headlines per day which I skim, and read about 5% of the most interesting. This gives me a great overview what is going on and I can go in depth on the interesting parts.

I'm using selfoss as feed reader. News sources I can recommend:

- Financial Times (you can select the categories that interest you and build a feed from them)
- Economist
- Techcrunch
- The Register

- Faz
- Handelsblatt

The British museum can not make up for it's I'll gotten items by having some ceremonies for a cloak.

Perhaps I'm culturally ignorant. But if it wasn't for guilt why on Earth would they have ceremonies around a cloak? I suspect the Maori did not have ceremonies around their cloaks. But I guess the advisor has to show worth somehow.

Still won't make up for stolen bones of Africans that were grave robbed. Or the the proceeds of military conquests and out right pilthered items they have in the collection.
Just remove that burden from your neck and enjoy your life as you might like to. Whether you do or don't minimize your carbon footprint will not make an iota of practical difference in how much or how little the world warms up.

One of the biggest PR tricks of modern times has been how the truly huge polluters such as major state resource companies, huge private/corporate resource companies and the lobbyists/media outlets/ politicians who tacitly support them have managed to flip the burden of guilt for climate change onto ordinary people about their personal life choices. This has happened to the ridiculous point that people such as yourself actually feel guilty about basic life choices due to a thing that's hardly their fault in any meaningful or measurable way. What an absurd way to live a life of unhappiness..

With regard to laptop, you need a thinkpad. it caught me off-guard when I picked up mine many years ago, because I was not looking for three buttons on a laptop. but it quickly became my favorite feature.

As an X11 user, I think that select/single button paste is one of the better features of the platform. I miss it terribly when on windows.
That's definitely an interesting question, why they don't use a longer identifier without central/hierarchical allocation. I don't have an answer, but some possibly relevant points:

* Rather than compute a hash you could just generate a random number: same risk of collision if done correctly (but different opportunities for making a mistake).

* When ISBNs were introduced in the 1960s people would have been typing and even handwriting them so keeping them short would have been important.

* ISBNs have now been incorporated into EANs (13 digits), which are used for all things sold by retailers, except in the USA and Canada, which, according to Wikipedia, use a system called UPC. (Ironically, the U stands for "universal" while the E stands for "European". Of course the 12-digit system got incorporated into the 13-digit system. Probably there will be a 14-digit system one day.)

* In a UK supermarket if the barcode won't scan someone has to type in the digits. I assume that in most cases they type all 13 digits but I haven't watched carefully. (Of course I am now inspired to watch more carefully next time it happens.) They could have a really clever interface connected to a real-time database of barcodes which recently failed to scan because I expect whole batches of a product have badly printed or crinkled packaging.

* A suitably designed 25-digit system would only take twice as long, or less than twice as long, to type in as the current 13-digit system, but the system would have to be suitably designed for that purpose. Having the computer tell the human at the end "there's a mistake somewhere" would be no good at all. At the very least you could have a check digit for each half and tell the human which half contains the mistake but of course you could do much better than that ...

* I have noticed that Sainsbury's (a major UK supermarket) has a system of 8-digit barcodes for its own products, but Tesco (another major supermarket) uses the standard 13-digit barcodes for its own products.

* ALDI products have giant barcodes printed in several places on the packaging without the corresponding digits printed underneath the barcode: the scanner will never fail!
It wouldn't have regular routing with Earth. The latency would break everything.

Mars would have its own internet and the first key application would be a send and recieve queue system to connect earth.

This would basically be a REST api that lets you send files, receive notifications of files sent to you, and download them.

It would definitely be paid or metered. I'm sure the first one would be vertically integrated (app owner exclusively controls the communication link) but future versions would probably allow anyone to bring the link to earth... a 2 sided market.
Better workplaces exist! Don't settle for one that saps your will to live.
Is anyone working on something like twitter with a focus on curation?

I have a lot of thoughts about it and would love to chat :)
In the context talked about in the OP, an elite are a group of people that have a larger/an ousized amount of power in a specific social context. So yes, business leaders, high-ranking politicians and very wealthy people are generally part of the elite in our society. Note that a 'social context' can be society at large, but also much smaller, the board of a HOA can form an elite in a small town for example. That social context can also be quite complicated: Trump famously was never really a part of the NYC wealthy elite, despite being a wealthy New Yorker, because he didn't fit in socially.

Elite can also mean a person or group of people that is better at something than others, there's some obvious overlap with the definition above, but it is less useful in the context of political elites, which we are mostly talking about in the context of Twitter.
Hey, do you have any good intro to ActivityPub? Any aggregator or feed like RSS has?

I have had a somewhat similar experience to you.

I was living and working in London (big drinking culture) for about 10-12 years. Mostly just a few beers each night with work friends. After a while I had to have a few beers at night even when not out with work.

This slowly progressed up to a 4 pack, then a 4 pack and a glass of wine, then a 4 pack and half a bottle of wine etc etc, then beers at lunch, and before I knew it I couldn't go without drink for very long.

It was only when I started finding it harder to focus and forgetting really simple and recent stuff that I started to worry. I'd lost so much to drinking (driving license, girlfriend, friends, money, jobs) but it was when it started to affect my basic cognition that I took action. It was very scary, my brain is what pays my bills.

After nearly 2 years completely sober I'd say I'm about 90% back mentally, but I've realised so many more benefits. Brilliant relationships, loads more money, I laugh more, I eat better, sleep better......it's fucking BRILLIANT!!!

Please find the help you need sooner rather than later. You can turn things around and it's totally worth it.

I'm 41 and sober this year!
Don't worry. You can escalate it to the Supreme Court.
Although it's convenient, not every parking spot necessarily needs a charger. Driving to a fast-charging hub works too. In London, most petrol stations have installed chargers and some have even completely replaced petrol pumps with chargers [1]

If you're just driving around in a city for relatively short distances every day, EVs can go weeks without charging.

The elite is the part of society who either through happenstance or personality are in the center of it fulfilling are coordinating role. This does mean that they have an outsize influence on society and also are at risk of becoming out of touch with the periphery. This fuels anti elite sentiment. At the same time because everyone talking to everyone doesn't scale we can't do without an elite. Also many members of the elite do have genuinely excellent qualities. This fuels pro elite sentiment. Because many people want to only consider either the pro or anti side of it there is a lot of confused discussion about the elite.

But I almost never saw anyone using Alpine as the infrastructural distro for their, say like desktop environment akin to Manjaro and Fedora. Without systemd, bootstrapping a complicated desktop environment would be a hot mess.

Well, maybe you would say Alpine is not intented to run heavyweight stuff like that and is mostly focused on security and containers.

That's exactly what Alpine is, the OpenBSD of Linux distros. OpenBSD likewise cannot be used as your production powerhouse as well.

The most frustrating thing about this discourse is the missing sense of proportion.

1. Starting things and setting them down does not make you a phony. It makes you easily-excitable. Thats okay.

You’d be a phony if you deceived someone, including yourself. You’d be a phony if you bought a domain, told someone “I’ll definitely have this site built by next Thursday” and wasn’t honest with yourself or others about your time-management error. Time management errors are okay, especially in hobbies. You’d be a phony if you were so unwilling to accept yourself that fear and pain pushed you to deceive yourself.

The emotion you’re feeling when you look at those 27 unused domains isn’t called “being a phony” it is called “embarrassment” and it is a normal human emotion. Avoid deceiving yourself by using emotion words to describe your emotions.

2. Someone telling you that you are a rockstar does not mean you are a phony. It means you’re talking with someone who fails to understand the importance of humility or wants you to wear a heroic Tony Stark costume to play out the Drama Triangle with them. Anger is appropriate to feel if someone pressures you to play along with their comforting self-deception. In response, you have a choice:

A. Find better friends. A good friend is willing try to see you for who you are: A person with some skills and some skill-gaps and a desire to learn.

B. Argue with them on behalf of humility and your need to be seen honestly. If you need a working relationship with them then you need to care about what constitutes that relationship. If it is respect for who you actually are, then they’ll be willing to call you an engineer instead of a rockstar. If it is their self-deception then the relationship is not trustworthy. You have a right to trustworthy working relationships but that right comes with a responsibility to speak the truth clearly.

C. Obsessively check your workspace for brown M&Ms and get swept up in disproportionate rage or terror if you find any tiny flaw[1]. If you let your relationships rely on you being a rockstar then you’ll set yourself up with no room for yourself or others to make mistakes. That is a neurological block to learning and deeply unkind to all involved.

> I have a visual impairment that make it really hard for me to distinguish objects where the is little contrast. This new UI trend of one pixel borders is a big annoyance for me. I constantly click the wrong window.

I have excellent vision and constantly struggle to figure out where GUI elements begin and end.

Like... Windows 95 has distinguishable UI elements figured out. They had clear borders, and it was easy to figure out if something was a button or input field, if it was enabled or disabled, buttons had icons and text, the use of depth was great too.

When and how did it go so wrong? It's not like there's a sudden shortage of screen space. That was a GUI that worked on a 640x480 monitor.
