The first question a headline like this comes to mind is : What are those PCs (including laptops) being replaced with? Obviously a PC/laptop can only be replaced with another one. So the aggregate demand generated by replacement needs cannot change drastically over the years. I assume this part of the demand will stay somewhat stable with slight ups and downs. Then the other part of the demand is the demand for new laptops. Which also cannot change a whole lot unless there is a drastic increase in population. So the remaining part of the demand that happened due to remote work/class requirement - that may contribute to the decrease as demand for that wane as folks go offline again. But that itself cannot contribute to 75% profit sink. A headline like this does nothing but spread misinformation and I wish there was a way to legally ban them.

No, plants are not less nutritious as a result of CO2 fertilization. As CO2 doubles overall plant yield increases and a single digit percentage shift in macro nutrient profile occurs. From [1],

Elevated CO2 increased Cu, Fe, and Zn, but lowered Mn concentration in grass leaves. Tree leaf responses were strongly related to N status: CO2 significantly decreased Cu, Fe, Mg, and S at high N, but only Fe at low N. Elevated CO2 decreased Mg and Zn in crop leaves grown with high N, and Mn at low N. Nutrient concentrations in crop roots were not affected by CO2 enrichment, but CO2decreasedCa,K,MgandPintree roots. Crop seeds had lower S under elevated CO2.We also tested the validity of a ‘‘dilution model.’’ CO2 reduced the concentration of plant nutrients 6.6% across nutrients and plant groups, but the reduction is less than expected (18.4%) from carbohydrate accumulation alone.

A lot of gnashing of teeth over an at most 7% shift in nutrient profile (and it takes a doubling to observe this) while a significant double digit percentage increase in crop yield is observed, making more food available for consumption.

Sure, speaking cosmological terms, it's like humans never happened. But speaking in terms of what is controllable by those humans, we just had a successful test that we might be able to save ourselves from an asteroid if we have significant amount of notice. Can't really do too much about volcanoes though. Man made pollution is definitely something we have control over and we've had half a century of warnings. Let's not lose sight of the actual conversation when it is still within our control even if we've decided to ignore it. Human extinction is the most probable outcome but that doesn't mean we have to accelerate it and then just shrug our shoulders

My point is that the Simpsons, like social media, is a single potential shared cultural experience out of many.

Not long ago surgeons didn't have a rule of washing their hands before doing an intrusive surgery, and lots and lots of people died because of that.

At a point, one surgeon discovered that, with incontestable proof, and started advocating for hand-washing. When almost all surgeons noticed that something so simple and easy had that much impact, they immediately adopted it and saved a lot of suffering from their patients...

Ok, of course they didn't. Almost everybody fought the few wand-washing advocates, tried to shame and discredit them, tried to generate bullshit evidence saying that it didn't help, tried to convince everybody that it didn't matter, all the time denying to themselves that it worked. Surgeons only started washing unanimously their hands when that generation of them retired.

Nutrient absorption is often mediated by fungi and bacteria in the soil, it would be interesting to see a breakdown about how sensitive they are to elevated CO2. If we find that the process is bottlenecked by a certain soil organism, we might be able to find ways to help.
Okay, but who is checking your wrapper to make sure it's not ripped? If I bring in a bag of two hundred candy wrappers, does someone sit there and carefully check each one? This doesn't seem easily automatable. Is this a small candy bar wrapper, or half of a big candy bar wrapper?

It's not an occasional wrapper. It's the block of cheese I finished off when cooking dinner yesterday, the container of mushrooms I emptied, the bag of tortillas. Most household trash just changed from "toss in the trash and it gets dumped somewhere" to "bring to someone to check each item for completeness"?

I'm sure we'd end up with a lot less single-use packaging as a result, but we use single-use packaging for a reason and your proposal amounts to a near-ban. Let's not pretend this is a simple "just charge a deposit and littering stops". It's "charge a deposit, discover the deposit is non-viable, and single-use packaging as a whole stops".

I’ve seen this argument repeatedly. The example is just that - an example. It doesn’t cover anything related to productionizing the application, dealing with user management, rate limits, cost controls, hosting the service, data persistence, documentation, billing, marketing, or any of the other 100 things you need to do to turn a simple script into a product that people are willing to pay for, trust with their data, and embed into their own websites.

This is one of my main points: good UX takes some thought. It's harder than doing the bare minimum. In this case, preserving someone's post in a <textarea> is the same concern whether it's in a modal or stuck at the bottom of the page. Neither using a modal nor not using a modal solve this for you.

It usually makes sense to introduce a localstorage draft system regardless of where the <textarea> appears on a forum.

Ok, but the commercial planes are taking a lot of people for reasons that impact commerce (tourism, business meetings, etc). A private flight for pleasure should obviously be banned before those use cases if we're purely thinking of global warming.

I am against banning any aviation use btw, this is too unfair to a particular group of people and is not based on any objective standard. Any aviation restriction that doesn't start with not letting the rich have private flights is unfair.

In Rust mutable references are exclusive. They're statically guaranteed to never alias with any other pointer.

However, when you call such function from C, the C compiler has no clue about exclusive references, so obviously it can't enforce their invariants. The C side can provide aliased pointers and break Rust's assumptions. The Rust side assumes it's called correctly, and the C side can't know what is correct.

>You can't establish an unencrypted connection. And that's a very good idea!

That's a very good idea for incorporated persons and their websites that involve transfers of money and other private details. The trade-off is that the entire system is more fragile and complex and needs continous constant updating and approval from a third party corporation. These are very bad traits for making a personal website that can last more than a few years. It's bad for the longevity of the web and so it's health.

Things like fighting parking mandates nibble on the problem at the edges, are net-positive, but are largely trying to push on a rope.

Something like carbon taxes or caps would actually deal with the problem. Unsurprisingly, there's a lot of pushback on them.

In case this helps someone, GERD can be caused by a bacterial infection by H. Pylori. (According to the Wikipedia, the frequency of infection is at >50% but most people never experience any symptoms.)

Guess what the OG 1933-45 Nazis used for the holocaust? Yup, prior existing databases and census information, to quickly identify Jews.

Isn't one of the reasons why you Americans don't mandate the possession of a valid passport or ID card to avoid the creation of such a database? Or why the ATF is forced to operate on paper card records to prevent the government from having a readily usable database to identify gun owners?

Besides, look up the No Fly list. Have the same name as a terrorist? You're not getting on that flight and it's barely possible to get removed from the list.
I built this app for my own use - before that I was adding events to my calendar at the end of each day reflecting on that day.

Perhaps also interesting: I used ChatGPT and Codex to build this in one weekend. Almost everything came from GPT4 - from the app's name and logo to its branding, content, user flow and features (including source code, which is in Flutter). Pretty wild going from idea to release in just 2 days!

I released on Android first, iOS will be out in a few more days.
One of the first things I tried (which I thought would be harder) was “Write a Python program that accepts a YouTube url and a start and stop time in the form MM:SS and a file name and it extracts the video between those times and converts it to an animated gif. Also provide a list of packages to be installed.”

The resulting code worked. Took an interaction or two to add usage info and tweak things, but it’s a neat little utility. Due to the libraries used, it was also simpler than I expected and would have been easy to write if I knew about those libs, so I also learned something.

It’s just one or two steps away from just saying “Go to this YouTube URL and extract the video between 3:20 and 3:27 into an animated GIF named ‘CatAndRaccoon.gif’” and having it write, debug, and execute the code.

I think you're close:

There are relatively fewer employers seeking hardware skillsets compared to employers seeking software skillsets. People may say, "there are way more software engineers though! hardware is SO hard!!" as a counter, but they don't realize there is a proportionally crazy amount of software employers out there trying to hire engineers.

Your pay is capped by what you make your employer (the ROI you mention), but actually determined by how hard it is to replace you. Hard being defined as the difference between "# of Positions" and "# of Employable People". You could make your employer 10 million a year but you won't see a dime of that if anyone on earth can replace you within 5 minutes.

The fact that rural areas pay less has more to do with lower bargaining power of the employees than it does the cost of living. If one quits, the literal million dollar question is where are they going to go work instead? Is there another major manufacturer out here in the middle of nowhere? "Shut up, take what you get." Many build out in these areas for precisely this reason.

If the rate hikes cause a mass startup extinction we'd see an equalization of pay.
The thing is Rust also does great on the "other bugs" side.

The standard library and ecosystem follow the philosophy of making it easy to do the right thing, and preferably impossible to do the wrong thing; made possible by a very expressive type system. Of course logic bugs are possible in any language, and I wouldn't suggest rewriting a battle-tested Java application in Rust. But if you are already committed to rewriting (or starting a greenfield project) then Rust is a good choice for more reasons than just memory safety.
You know how Electron allows you to spawn a native backend server as a subprocess, to generate the pages that the Electron frontend interacts with? And how this means that you can write 90% of your program in some native language, and just do a thin UI in JS?

I wonder why nobody's created a "XAML projector" to allow you to create Windows UI applications the same way — by writing some platform-neutral app in Java or whatever, that needs no native libs loaded into it, but rather just knows how to generate XAML and, when told it's running on Windows, expects to be connected to over a socket by an also-XAML-speaking client.

Or I could say the same about Qt's QML.

(In fact, at this point I have to wonder: if modern UI frameworks almost always use an intermediary "view definition language" to communicate with the application anyway, then why are they even designed to load as native libraries resident inside the process? Why not just reinvent the X protocol on a higher level — have the UI toolkit be a local (socket-activated) daemon, and then all the things that use it are just clients that speak its protocol? I know, you can't directly draw to the screen from your backend this way. X11 DRI worked, though, and IMHO was a very good idea — SHM buffers are way easier to get working in most language runtimes than an FFI binding of some C++ UI toolkit is. Or maybe we can do one better, these days: just expose WebGL commands addressable to WebGL canvas objects over the toolkit's protocol.)

you can split the 100% of total emissions into 25 pieces, apply your impeccable "logic" for freedom of choice to spend hard-earned money (somehow its never ill-gotten money) on all of them and burn the planet to your ideological satisfaction.

the only slippery slope here is the normalization of the "do-nothing because it inconveniences me" mentality.

your freedom of action ends where it conflicts with the collective survival and that is i) not a new thing and ii) is not negotiable.
