Old machines and OSs are also common in medicine. At the hospital/clinic where I worked, we had a total of around 300,000 devices on our network, and at one point five or so years ago, counted over 5% of them running out of support OSs, often on hardware that was a couple of decades old. We had to maintain multiple WEP wireless nets in order to connect many of them, because they did not support WPA in any form, let alone the WPA-AES we specified as the minimum standard. The oldest OS was a pre 1.0 version of Linux that ran a 25+ year old fluoroscope (a kind of X-ray device) that worked fine in its clinical setting, and would cost millions of dollars to replace, which cost the clinical department had no wish or intent to incur. The largest by count, though, were medical devices that embedded long dead Windows OSs.

The security implications of this mess were enormous. It's impossible to track the vulnerabilities on this old stuff, and challenging even to determine across the enterprise what is exposed to what.
So I hope your actions turn it into not-Wild West anymore.

Nano default key bindings are not standard either. They are less different than vi from a typical GUI input controls and having a menu at the bottom of the screen help, but they force the user to get used to yet another convention.

I was considering at some point to create a patch to nano to have a simple option to switch to more common bindings or even ask the user on the first run about it. But then I discovered the micro editor and simply have been using that.

> this really is just a bunch of correlations without good citations indicating any causal effect.

Say your house gets broken into and there is a broken window and you are missing some cash and jewellery.

Would you _also_ say that calling it a burglary—absent any security camera footage—would be correlation without causation?

I mean, for all we know it might have been a bear which broke in and just happened to take only money and jewellery. There might be a blinged out bear partying at the local bar nearby!

It's easy to cast doubt on any theory, and much harder to advance a theory.

Also I see that you did eventually find the citations, but the tone of your comments suggest to me that you might just as easily transpose your doubt casting onto the sources, and the sources sources ad infinitum... But of course my claim is based purely on correlations.

You are right when the interrupt handling is so simple.

However I cannot remember how many years have passed since the last time when I had the opportunity to write something like that.

Nowadays even the simplest microcontrollers costing a fraction of a dollar include DMA controllers or hardware FIFO queues so that for most I/O interfaces it does not make sense to handle one interrupt request for every transferred byte.

So you have fewer interrupt requests, but with more complex handling, which should be executed outside the interrupt context.
I agree that adaptation needs to be discussed. Ignoring it is delusional. However saying change isn’t happening isn’t fair. Many countries have built new energy infrastructure and investment in coal has become unattractive. It might not be enough to make climate activists happy, but we are definitely spending a lot of resources on this problem. Emissions targets are incentivising governments to reopen or reconsider nuclear. I don’t think carbon neutral by the end of the century is an unreasonable prediction.
Climate is never localised, everything is highly interdependent. Volcano eruptions in Indonesia have caused mass famines in Europe, for instance.

The biggest problem is that bra sizes are a measurement of volume, not just circumference. Stores will typically use a formula that lumps you into similar “sister sizes” so they don’t have to carry as many sizes. For example, a 32DD is very similar to a 40A, so most stores don’t carry 40 and push everyone towards 32.

Which is the same as going to a restaurant which gives you soup in a tall glass because it holds nearly as much soup as a bowl.
My understanding of the issue not like that at all, to extend your analogy it would be like if ISO published the Spec, but then every compiler used things only found in the C++ Programming Book to compile your programs, and any error codes were only found in the book

I'm confused. You said you believe Paul "preached a celestial being, not a human," but you think that his branch of Christianity completely invented the idea of a human Jesus just a few years after his death? It's not just that this theory has no evidence for it, but it seems to even contradict itself.

Anyway, we know a lot about the beliefs of various early Christian groups, and even have the writings of a number of them. But none of them match the beliefs you're positing.

The protection Cloudflare provides is antithetical to privacy because they are in the business of detecting malicious users. To do so, they need to distinguish users (including and especially users taking active measures to fuzz their identity, since there is heavy correlation between such use and malice... i.e. there are a lot more people fuzzing their identity because they want to do something bad than there are fuzzing their identity because they're simply privacy-conscious).

This is a subset of a larger push-pull on the privacy needs of users vs. the integrity needs of service providers; the modern threat model is a lot more complicated than it was in the era where you could deal with an attack by black-holing an IP range. For example, Google's login flow requires (required? this may have changed) JavaScript because there are attacks possible in non-JS HTML that Google cannot protect against without using JS to do DOM inspection. Does enabling JS also allow for various privacy risks? Yes. But it increases user security.

> “additional efforts are needed to address common technical and market barriers to wider adoption by consumers – which include performance at temperatures of 5F and below, installation challenges, and electricity grid impacts during peak demand periods.”

There are definite market barriers at play. In my house in New England, I tried to replace my aged boiler with an air-to-water heat pump (after carefully verifying, via experiments during a cold week in February, that my heat distribution would indeed work fine at a supply of 130°F). Only one company was even willing to come out and provide a quote and their quote was around 2.5x the costs of "put another boiler in", such that the payback period would be "literally never".

If, after doing the research to find out about them and specifically seeking one out, I couldn't manage to make an air-to-water heat pump make sense, I doubt that very many of them are being sold. I suspect it's one of those items that, if more were sold, more firms would sell/install them, bringing the costs into the realm of economically reasonable (and lowering the risk of having a difficult-to-support heating plant in the decades to come).

While this is true for regular novels (and the instances near me never seem to have anything interesting), they're really handy for kids' books. You can freely give and take books as the kids get older, without the potential guilt of tearing/shredding/spilling-something-on a book from the public library.

I’m not sure if you are joking or not but in case you aren’t. The lfl organization doesn’t legitimize them. It sells the kits, gives you a plaque & puts them in an online db.

The people putting them up are responsible for following all the regulations where they place them.

As someone who runs one I’ve never engaged with the official lfl site at all. We do have a problem every once in awhile with people taking all the books but it’s not a major issue. Our biggest concern is people putting what is effectively trash at our library. Broken toys, clothes with major holes, single shoes, magazines with water damage etc.

One of the reasons libraries work so well is that people understand the leave one/take one concept so well with books and people know to take care of them. For consumable items and other durable goods (like clothes) it’s less culturally obvious what to do.

So my advice, start your own little food pantry (or whatever) or barring that, knock on the door of the lfl provider and ask what they want provided? We have a list of local places that take such donations including live fridges and clothing exchange boxes we send people to who want to place items other than books.
I went for something similar in the past:

This is emacs, but it has Sublime/VSCode keys and a selection of plugins and custom modifications and theme. All of it using elisp, no changes to the actual emacs source code. It could have gone much further than it did, and it still runs almost fine.

I've used it as my main editor for almost a year, but abandoned it a while ago.

emacs has all the stuff you'll ever need and more as elisp functions and packages, all you need to do is tame its original behavior to something you like (remap keys, etc).

I wrote up a brief discussion here on the boiling points of refrigerants https://www.moderndescartes.com/essays/refrigerants/

The long and short of it is that if the heat pump works below -20F, then the boiling point of the refrigerant must be below -20F. This, in turn, implies a higher pressurization (as per the Clausius-Clapeyron eq) required in order to achieve a T_hot of 80F (or whatever output temperature you want. The higher pressurizations require more expensive components and compressors.
> the East has been living on ACs for ages, its OK.

It's not OK considering this makes climate change worse, that we're trying to move out of fossil fuel, and that energy is also going to be an issue (regardless of climate change).
> Why in the west?

The cost in emissions to raise a child in the west is far higher than in other countries.

> The 'rest of the world' has too many children, in some places even too many to literally just feed.

Countries like India and China have far lower emissions per capita than western countries, and especially if we account for carbon emissions and imports.

> Why deal with the areas where couples have <2, even <1.5 children on average and not with areas where the numbers are 5 or even more?

There are very few countries with as many children, all of them very low on emissions per capita, and the easiest way to drop that is by accelerating their growth, improving education, and QoL.

> Also, doesn't that mean that we should also stop immigration? Moving someone from a poor country to a rich(er) one means more emissions since they tend to consume more due to more money than in their originating country.

No idea. If you wish to reduce the need for immigration, the simplest way is to enable people to have children. US' policies on maternity, leave and so on are not helping the situation, and neither is the ever increasing CoL in European countries while we have as high tax rates.

It was down to -8F (not including wind chill) a couple days ago here. I have a small, old house but I'm considering replacing the old system I have now with a heat pump.

My concern is two-fold:

- my house is not well air sealed

- my house is not well insulated

So I worry that I'll need an extremely oversized heat pump in order to have enough capacacity for the coldest days.

I suppose having a backup heating source would prevent needing such a large unit. Plus it would provide some amount of redundancy of the heat pump were to fail in the winter.

The question then is, should I use electric backup heat, or stick with my existing gas connection? Electric is simpler and there's no exhaust fumes or CO risk to worry about, but gas is still cheaper here I think.
Maybe someone can start a company to close that gap.

Given the prevalence of sexual violence in our society and the difficulty of getting an appropriate response, I find this statement incredibly ironic. (Out of context, I admit, but it's hard to reconcile the two views.)

#MeToo is one source of evidence that society absolutely tolerates attacks on women.
