Look, I think direct air capture (DAC) is as much “not the solution” as the next guy, but this kind of black-and-white thinking has no place in climate change mitigation.

Right now, DAC costs about $250-500/ton. The average passenger vehicle in the US emits 4.6 tons of CO2/year. You say it’s not cost-effective but you could literally charge every passenger vehicle user in the US $1-2000/year and use it for capture and eliminate the single largest source. That is the same order of magnitude as vehicle registration fees (though of course you’d want to make such a tax progressive, etc.), at least in California.

More importantly, DAC provides a major price signal for the cost of carbon emissions: if it costs $250/ton to get CO2 out of the atmosphere, it starts to make more sense to charge emitters $250/ton in advance to remove it — and if we implemented such a system, the market would likely respond very quickly with rapid reductions in carbon emissions. Oil and gas companies think it’s the solution? Great, they can pay $250/ton for it.

Instead we’re selling everyone individual shame about what are really societal decisions, telling them not to drive as much, be too cold/hot at home, and eat less beef — while letting producers largely off the hook. That’s the real lunacy here.
I also switch back and forth between two large projects written in different decades and it definitely gives an interesting perspective on this. Basically every time I'm in php I go "oh yeah I see why we do react now" and every time I'm in react I go "oh right I see why php still exists."
Yeah the last intel macbooks were quite good but not so much incentive to upgrade over earlier macs, unlike the M1s.
Yeah HTMX is nice; I'm still learning about it. I'm building a django app for https://host.upcyclebikes.co/listings/allll and i'm slowly introducing htmx into it.
As grumby said, the energy consumption. Power is consumed as the water is forced through the membrane. As the membrane blinded off, more energy is required for the same amount of water.
Every state in the US is different, and different school districts and neighborhoods come with their own differences too. I have multiple friends who teach in public schools in the US, and I have some experience teaching, so I don’t think I’m really under any illusions about what it’s like.

(One person I know became a middle school teacher at a public school and described it as “easy” compared to her previous job, which was informal education. There is a lot of variability in this profession.)
You still did a good thing, if you got a cold or something and sneezed inside one of those paper masks, the droplets wouldn't spread as far.
I worked somewhere in midtown. We had access to a small roof above the main terrace. We were up there drinking after a party at 2 AM, sitting on the wall 8 stories up. I'm thinking don't fuck up because if you lean back, there's nothing between you and Sixth Avenue.

This is one of my "I could have died" moments.
Look up the Rule of Three (now Five).

You don't see that type of complexity in any other language, and it's because of a tragic marriage of low levelness and object orientedness, and the language tries to hide some of the complexity behind implicit behavior which actually generates more complexity.

It's also very old and has accumulated a lot of lessons learned without changing the old behaviors due to backward compatibility handcuffs, resulting in the characteristic "the most obvious thing is the wrong thing" syndrome.

I like it too though.

You possibly have healthy enamel. I do not - and fluoride has been shown in many studies to prevent tooth decay.

I always wanted to have a tag in the object header that signals the GC to "just don't touch this object", so I could manually allocate off-heap objects and arrays (specially arrays).

ByteBuffers are low overhead, but native arrays are ~30% faster last I benchmarked, so if I can place an array off-heap, and never move it (granted, it's unsafe), I can use for example, the kernel's paging mechanism to swap data in and out data from disk, with low runtime overhead to access it.

You can ask. When one of them threatened to kill her, the school administration kindly moved him to another classroom in the same hallway.

But it's nearly impossible to get these students expelled, even for criminal threat.
Ok so what do you tie your feeling of success to? Getting married and having kids? What if your wife divorces you? Same problem.

Interesting. Google and USPS are among the most trusted organizations in the US. They also both have a reputation for being good to work at for different socioeconomic classes. The former has some rate of people killing themselves and the latter has some rate of people killing others to the degree that they're now slang for flipping your shit.

I wonder what the difference is.

Similar to my experience. So glad I uBlock Origin a lot of unnecessary traffic. At some point it is not longer good taste, when the 5th CDN is requested, the 10th tracker script from random untrusted 3rd parties loaded ... All while neglecting good design of a website, making it implode, when you block their unwanted stuff. Not rare to save more than half the traffic, when blocking stuff.
I’m a smart(tm) guy and I couldn’t make heads or tails from that paper. That hand wavy diagram that’s supposed to explain the whole concept still makes me mad.

So I mostly agree. Python makes it great to start with and iterate. Unlike say golang. What I've found is while python gets you started quickly it also lets you "sprawl" on your bad habits. A team that got into python with little experience in good habits ends up writing a lot of python code, fast that is hard to read and maintain and continue improving without fear. Having moved to golang (for services only) the idioms are more in your face. Frustrating at first but once you pay the tax it is smoothish sailing. Now I could be biased given experience in "general" software design.
> There are other ways of converting them into money, like lending against them

Isn't that essentially the same as reverse-mortgaging a part of your equity in your house (i.e., borrowing money against a chunk of ownership of your house) to get some liquid cash and then paying that off over time (which would make any income used towards paying off that loan also untaxed)? I was under an assumption that this was something that non-billionaire normal people do as well fairly often (disclaimer: i don't own any property myself, so I am not speaking from my own experience with it).

Of course you need to own a property to make use of that, so that would exclude plenty of people (i.e., non-homeowners), but it can be literally any property you own in any location (from California to Oklahoma to wherever else in the US). And the number of homeowners in the US is significantly larger and is more accessible than just billionaires and other megarich people.

Note: my comment talks about this in the context of the US-only, since that's what the rest of the comment chain is discussing + you can probably write a thick book if you tried answering it comprehensively in the context of all countries in the world.
Not sure rustc can do a lot about this case but maybe a static analysis tool can complement it.
> ISO C

Not being in ISO C(99, I'm less sure about 89) doesn't make it a GNUism. At best you're disagreeing with GCC over its default standards version.

Clang only changed the default in 2022, for example. https://reviews.llvm.org/D129881
Two other long-ago highlights come to mind.

`uplevel` permitted modifying the calling environment, enabling injection of locally scoped dsls. And trivial dsl customization (subset, extend, modify). And optioning the imports.

Standalone executables were easily created, with an embedded filesystem.

Programming language evolution seemingly suffers from a lack of accessible memory and reflection. I wonder if LLMs might be leveraged to derive sort of a "virtual C2-wiki" view over existing collaboration infrastructure (HN lobsters, /r/ProgrammingLanguages /Haskell etal, LtU, SO, awesome lists, programing blogs, language wikis, research papers, etc)? So one could ask about locally scoped dsls, and see answers, and relevant discussions, and links to related asks, rather than manually searching for, browsing, and synthesizing fragments of such.
I am honestly glad that worked out for you, as many others have mentioned though parents have/can/will force their children to work to the parent’s short term benefit instead of doing more long term productive things that benefit the child, ie school/homework.

Instead of creating opportunities to coerce children to work to keep the family alive maybe just directly help the family stay afloat…
i am the creator of htmx, this is a great article that touches on a lot of the advantages of the hypermedia approach (two big ones: simplicity & it eliminates the two-codebase problem, which puts pressure on teams to adopt js on the backend even if it isn't the best server side option)

hypermedia isn't ideal for everything[1], but it is an interesting & useful technology and libraries like htmx make it much more relevant for modern development

we have a free book on practical hypermedia (a review of concepts, old web 1.0 style apps, modernized htmx-based apps, and mobile hypermedia based on hyperview[2]) available here:

Whats the difference between Fox News and CNN? I know there is one. I know there used to be more, I just can't quite put my finger on it now.

Note that this does not apply to US citizens. US citizens, even those accused of terrorism, still retain their legal rights under US law. That is what citizenship in any country, is.

Can those rights be violated? Yes, governments do bad things all the time. But that is not the same as a foreign national participating in Al-Qaeda training camps and meeting with Osama bin Laden. No nation on Earth has a strong history of giving full citizenship legal rights to foreign nationals and/or enemy combatants captured in a warzone.

Hicks was also returned to Australia to be dealt with by his own government, where presumably he then did retain his legal rights as a citizen of Australia. And at that point it would indeed be a violation on part of Australia if they did not treat him as any citizen of their nation should be treated.

All of that said, Guantanamo has still been a completely broken and messed up situation. We the people of the US owe it to ourselves and the rest of the world to hold our government accountable for that and not allow it to happen again.

It's just if you are wanting to say that the US treatment of it's citizens has been on par with China's treatment of it's citizens, your case may be better served by finding a more direct example.

there’s no indication it was an intentional jump. the article says no note or video and that they found handprints, meaning at some point this person was hanging on a ledge.

so it is misleading to say he “jumped” if it ends up being an accidental fall.

there’s plenty of people who climb ledges in NYC to take photos at night, so would not be surprised if this ends up being entirely accidental as a result of trying to take photos

I mean weird as a polite way of saying apparently disingenuous. Your comments seem designed to deflect and divert the discussion away from its most salient points and into an arena which discussion is pointless (anyone can like any content they like, after all, no one could possibly dispute your interest in TikTok or that other people might find it interesting too). I feel relatively confident in suggesting that the issues the article points out are rather more important or at least important enough to warrant actual discussion.

I'm not angry about anything, nor do I dispute your thesis that from a content point of view there may be similarities. I just raise the question of how that contributes to a genuinely useful discussion about the sociopolitical implications of the app.
hardly. It's obvious from the tech layoffs and the number of fast-food restaurants near me with "Help Wanted" signs that the jobs being lost =/= the jobs added.

5G Spectrum sold for as much as 2g. But 2g was a huge scam. Since 2g, Indian wireless usage increased by 10 folds. So either 2g was not a scam, and genius or 5g auction was a bigger scam. You decide.

Demonetization - UP had a state election. Gujarat had panchayat election. Since Modi/Shah knew about it, they converted their cash. It wasn't about the black money. It was about reducing oppositions cash holding during the election. I was in India, and I saw how BJP was able to distribute liquor & money in the villages while everyone was standing in line.

Thanks for agreeing with me about the all the other issues.

Many STM32 MCUs don't even allow this, you have to physically replace the device if it's set to full protection, as it cannot be reversed. Yes, built in self-destruct.

See page 5 of the following document, it is the Level 2 protection that's irreversible: https://www.st.com/resource/en/product_training/STM32F7_Secu...

The PIC32 MCUs I use always allow you to reverse the protection, after erasing the device.
> the declarativization of the UI

Yes! There's always going to be some range of client behavior that's difficult to reduce to declarations, but so much of what we do is common that if it isn't declarative we're repeating a lot of effort.

And in general I think you're describing a big part of what made the web successful in the first place; the UI-as-document paradigm was declarative, accessible, readable, repeatable.

This. I opened the pricing page and saw the 2 tiers and immediately closed it when $15/mo wouldn't get me unlimited. I'm not tracking search counts, I have no idea how frequently or how much I search, and ultimately I don't need an extra decision of "is this worth $0.018 to search for?" when I want to search for something. The concept sounds interesting but I'm not so confident in it being that much better that I'd accept that cost decision every time I search.

Unlimited would be different. $15/mo to search as much as I want, it's still insanely steep since I can get so much more for so much less on the internet but at least I wouldn't have to accept a per search cost decision.

WASM can't even interact with the DOM, how exactly are these languages positioned better to give me access to a ton of UI primitives?

The backend can be a fast language, certainly, but the browser is a premier UI platform... and it's powered by JS...

This is equivalent to solving the halting problem, and therefore impossible in the general case.

Tools can use heuristics to make a guess. Dynamic dispatching to mutually recursive functions is one example where those tools fail. But that also includes things like checking a conditional before calling a function. The tool can check unconditional infinite recursion, but it can't tell you for certain that a branch that may be infinite is always taken.

It's basically the same stuff that the German NetzDG or the upcoming EU DSA/DMA laws are.

I believe there's a sci-fi/fantasy novel by Alan Dean Foster in which he writes about a trap in a standard dungeon on a mountain which is a path that just very slowly gets steeper and steeper. At first, you don't think you need anything to deal with it, so you're not in mountaineering gear, but at some point you've been gradually lulled into walking down a path you can no longer return up.

I don't think it would work in real life but it was a neat idea. In particular, I don't think it works if you can easily see out ahead of you. But in real life, there's plenty of cases like this where you either can't see out ahead of you, or it's too cognitively expensive, or it simply never crosses your mind to think. I think a lot of the subtle controls exerted in society are like this... you are gradually corralled into doing things you never would have agreed to do if asked baldly, or if you could see that's where you were going to end up, but one step at a time you slowly walked somewhere you never would have voluntarily gone until it would be very expensive to get back out, and it's easier just to take the next step down. While I sometimes wonder if this is deliberately done, it is also certainly a situation that can arise naturally in many cases. Investing has a lot of cases like this... it's really easy to be unwilling to accept a loss or something and take the next step down the road of losing more, when you should pay the price, bail out, and accept the initial loss.
I'm not sure that equal is the best way to describe it. Web has been there longer than desktop and embedded because Dart came with the ability to compile to JS, but web is given nowhere near the same attention by the Flutter team as other platforms.
