Collect it for what? Glass is somewhat easily recyclable, most plastics are not. Even if it's collected with utmost care, it will be taken to a landfill, or "sent to China for recycling" (spilled in the ocean) or burned in a power plant - none of which is that great. Conversely, if it's thrown in the regular trash, it will probably end up in a landfill, which is probably right now the best solution for it.

> Why does it seem basically impossible for a Linux desktop environment to not look like it’s frozen in time from the early 2000s in terms of sharpness/polish/slickness?

I mean, whatever you think about modern linux desktops, but this comment seems a bit strange here, as this appears this is a project with the exact goal of delivering an experience of an early 2000s Desktop that some people seem to like.

Oh fuck. Hackerspaces tend to be ad-hoc repurposed/disused industrial or commercial spaces that tend to overlook fire, health/safety, and disability building compliance. City bureaucracies find out about these spaces and then drop an angry hammer on their heads with a laundry list of expensive mandatory changes. They don't want another Ghost Ship fire where almost half of occupants died (not a hackerspace, but a live-in art studio and improvised concert venue).

PSA: If you ever want to live with 10-20 other people in semi-illegal collective housing in an old factory, try not to make it an electrical or flammable death trap with fire drills and following proper building codes with layers of sensible preventative choices for living in something undocumented. Less wood framing (metal 2x4"s are customary in the US for interior, nonloadbearing walls) and flammable materials, less toxic substances, and proper conduit armoring and system grounding.

> But then came Pixar and suddenly a studio proved you didn't have to have flops, every film they made in their first decade was a resounding success. They blew the conventional logic of Hollywood economics out of the window.

I think this is the key point that a lot of people nowadays are forgetting.

Part of why Star Wars was such a phenomenon is that there were three films in a row that were all good. This was so rare (even into the early 90s) that there was even the "movie trilogies as bar charts meme" [0].

Then Pixar came along and it was hit after hit after hit. Even for movies that WEREN'T sequels and it kind of blew everyone's minds.

I would argue Marvel went one better and put out 10+ movies in a row that were also, at a minimum, fun and good movies. I remember saying to someone in the early 2010s "what a cool time for movie making that there are just strings of great movies". What's even more amazing to me is that Kevin Feige took over Marvel studios when he was 34!

Which in turn leads me to believe that maybe the "small studio, dedicated people, mostly young but fanatical about the material" is how you kick off the series and then try as hard as you can to keep the big corporate interests run by older folks away.

Hello. I would love to buy your products. However, I am stopped by the fact that I have to enter email and agree to terms before I can even see shipping options and costs.
Please consider making the shopping process easier and more pleasant.

I am in EU and concerned that it might not be feasible for me to order your products due to high import fees, tax, customs, VAT, etc. that I would probably need to handle myself. Do you plan on establishing a dealer in EU or a shipping site in EU such that items can be shipped from within EU without customers having to deal with the customs, tax, etc?
I’d disagree. All ticketing systems suck. The pretty ones are only pretty when they are simple one function affairs.

Google owns Waze because Waze was the hot driving app for a long time. It provided information like up to minute data on crashes, speed traps, would suggest more aggressive alternative routes than Google Maps. It was a superior product for quickly taking driver data and pushing it to your phone.

So Google purchased them because, frankly, Google Maps in the US if it wasn’t in heavy use by drivers is pointless. This move makes sense to consolidate the ad buy but I suspect it’s going to end with the decommission of Waze since most of those features have since moved to Google Maps (with the exception of speed trap reporting).

I mean, there is GNOME, which to a certain extent is pushing the desktop metaphor forward (IMO, by removing the useless and fiddly concept of minimization in favor of just using virtual desktops, and favoring fuzzy searching to launch applications instead of panels, and finally eliminating the superfluous taskbar in favor of solely relying on expose views), especially when combined with tiling window managers, which are doing even more by themselves to advance things.

There's also PaperWM, an extension for GNOME that pretty much does what you want IIRC.
That's why I don't understand the insistence on RTO. It's clear from all discussions that people have different views on the topics. So why don't give people a choice?

Late to the party, but I didn't see anyone mentioning this: Shopify seems to be curiously extremely involved in sponsoring WebAssembly-related projects. It's a gold sponsor on AssemblyScript[1], it used to develop javy[2] which compiles JavaScript to WebAssembly, a member of the BytecodeAlliance[3].

I wouldn't think they sponsor LadyBird just for LibWasm[4], as that doesn't make any sense, but technically, they add that to their wasm sponsorships now.

Honestly, it looks like a really nice place to work if you like WebAssembly, I wouldn't mind a collaboration or to work with them.

Ebikes are a godsend. Without one I'd have to get things delivered by van.

This is the problem with environmentalism-as-actually-practiced -- the conversation starts with plastic pollution, you look away for five seconds, and suddenly there are a bunch of ascetics one-upping each other in the "LARP as a third-world peasant" game. There is no social defense mechanism against it. Normal people look at this and think "no thanks". It's all about focus on minimizing downside and (implicitly) self-flagellation for the sin of living in a rich country; there is no focus on things with upside potential, like "how do we increase the supply of clean energy so we can have cheap material abundance".

I don't want to live in squalor. I want to enjoy a hot shower of crystal clear desalinated water, heated by electricity made in the searing heart of a nuclear reactor, and it all costs a fraction of a penny to run.

You can push that to 3569x4699 - https://iiif.micr.io/qDCTO/full/3569,/0/default.jpg

Then it will complain that 3570x4700 is too large because "the maximum is 4000x4000px" which is weird because 3569x4699 is already bigger than 4000x4000 in both linear and areal dimension.

But what they really mean is 16Mi pixels - 16770731 (3569x4699) < 16777216 (2*24, 4096x4096) < 16779000 (3570x4700).

To play along with the argument, prior to the metric system, units were very local. So it’s not like China and Ghana and Russia and France were all using inches and feet and cups and pints, rather they were all using their own little units of measure, which on the whole turned out to be less convenient than the metric system. The UK and US happened to be (mostly) aligned on a more convenient system that could outcompete the metric system.

That said, I think economic resiliency and early mover (did)advantage are the other parts of that story. Not many nations can handle the trade impediment of their own units of measure, but the UK and US were/are both large enough. And I think because we industrialized early, switching with the rest of the world was more expensive, so we stuck with it.

Questions on Performance Benchmarks
As I said in the previous comment:

>Please don't respond by saying "this API was badly designed in the first place!" Most languages don't give you the opportunity to design APIs badly in this particular way. If all APIs were perfectly designed on day one then of course we'd never have to worry about API changes.

I did edit in that paragraph ~5 minutes after submitting the comment, so apologies if you missed that.

>fn first_name(name: impl AsRef<str>) -> impl AsRef<str> {

As I said previously, "...unless there is to be a ban on functions returning simple references..." If you're willing to eat all that extra generic ceremony, then yes, you can make Rust APIs that are flexible w.r.t. ownership. However, you can't control the code style of the libraries that you're using.

> With this signature I actually can change the name representation from String to any type that can be exposed as a slice, with no additional runtime penalty like virtual calls, which you'd need otherwise in Go/Java.

Off topic, but you could do this in both Java and Go via generics.
> Git has become everyone’s go-to for version control.

i would argue that github, not git, has become many peoples' go-to. Git by itself is absolutely atrocious in terms of usability and its ability to lose data through seemingly innocent interactions. github makes it somewhat usable.

Remove github and its ilk from the equation and, i opine, many would look elsewhere for their SCM needs.

In 2014 i was on a commercial project when i opened a shell to make a checkin using git. The developer next to me saw what i was doing and hurried to shout, "no! Don't do that! The CLI client is not supported here! You have to use SourceTree[^1]!" i snarkily brought to his attention that the CLI client is the only one actually released by the git maintainers, and he exclaimed that we were not permitted to use it because too much can go wrong too easily. _That_ is a fantastic summary of git: too much too wrong too easily.

Full disclosure: i'm a long-time contributor to the Fossil SCM and thankfully never have to do more than clone with git.

^1 = SourceTree is a third-party git UI.
The release cycle is still a lot more staggered since Disney just interspices it with a lot more filler content (those Live Action Remakes) that the Pixar releases are somewhat meant to fall back on.

For every Frozen, there's a Tangled that doesn't make the cut in quality and that stands out when they don't have the same consistent release cycle of movies for the animated canon since it's broken up by the mostly mediocre Live Action ones.
Typically commercial RAM has a temp range of 0 to 85degC. In the olden days, you constrained your IO timing on the device/chip that drove the ram so that it worked at all temperatures at the rated speed. (Well, unless you were a 90s graphics card integrator...)

Now, at least since DDR3, PVT variations are continually calibrated out at runtime. So as the temp goes up, you still get periodic, quick recalibration.

DDR4 and now 5 have even more extensive compensation to keep the electrons flowing at the edges of our current ability. Did you know that GDDR5 has had the ability to CRC data bursts since 2008? Now it's come down to normal memory.

> To each their own.

That's exactly my point! I find it ridiculous that CEO's think they somehow have to create the same policy for everyone, as if giving people a choice was somehow a taboo. We've come a long way realizing self-organizing teams work better than micromanaged ones etc., I wonder how long it will take PHBs to understand that giving people a choice is not just good for them but it's overly beneficial to the whole company.

Electrifying everything is only a third of the battle. The second third, which is actually much more important, is replacing existing coal, oil, and gas-fired power plants with nuclear and renewables. Electrifying everything is not going to help at all if we are still burning fossil fuels to make the eletricity. Then the third third is figuring out way to sequester existing CO2, because even if emissions dropped to zero tomorrow that would not solve the problem. We are already pushing 420 PPM CO2. The last time we had this much carbon in the atmosphere was about 50 million years ago, and the global temperature was about 8C higher than it is now. That is not survivable for modern technological civilization. So, sorry, but no, you are not going to save the planet by buying a Tesla.

One day we'll start having microorganisms that can break down plastics efficiently. It took a few million years for wood, so I'm not holding my breath until it happens, but it will almost certainly happen. So the worse that can happen to the Earth itself is it'll have a layer of plastic residue just like it had a layer of wood residue (coal) until we started digging it up.

Of course, as George Carlin used to say, the planet is fine: it's us that are fucked. We'll see how bad the effects of plastics on the long term really are, but if anyone suffers, it'll be us, not the planet or life on it in the long term.
