Absolutely so. What are they supposed to be sacrificing their comfort and profit to achieve?

Article says 61,000 people in Europe died in the 2022 heatwaves. Something like 60,000,000 people die annually (I'd guess about 6 million in Europe) [0]. How much comfort and profit were we meant to sacrifice to prevent that rounding error? Air pollution from coal plants that could directly kill people is a better argument for phasing them out than these heat waves.

With COVID you develop symptoms and realize that you and the people you met almost a week after you got the disease and started to spread it to others.

With this is the same, but with years and decades, by the time you notice visible enough symptoms it may be too late to stop all that is coming in the delivery train, but you can still have some margin to mitigate some of the damage.

It’s not a system with so direct action and immediate reaction, things build up, accumulate, trigger feedback loops, and that in a scale that we won’t be able to stop by delaying action.

Very true. I just like to add their strategic investment in Hubert Burda's Cliqz. A thinly disguised attempt to shut out Google ads and replace them with the ones from the Burda empire. Their mendacious user privacy rhetoric still makes me sick and is on par with what we've read in the Web Integrity Standard.

self.fn = fn

def __ror__(self, lhs):

filter = pipeable(filter)
map = pipeable(map)
list = pipeable(list)
sum = pipeable(sum)
min = pipeable(min)
max = pipeable(max)
any = pipeable(any)

# Usage:

My unbaked opinion is that a majority of the forum was a javascript help board and with the advent of more advanced and silly web frontends the ability to 'copy paste' a snippet is less viable for javascript guys and so a lot of the value of being a front end snippet repository is lost to the fact you now need a primer on the flavor of javascript, the build tools, the package management and it's 200 LOC across three files to get your react bloat to work.

I am also very tired of big corps polluting like crazy and then shifting blame towards the customers, especially wherever there is no "greener" choice. New pipelines get built to send oil to plastic factories, yet you hear only "advice" to consume less plastic directed to the customer. The real polluters never ever get mentioned, yet we are asked to switch to plastic straws, as if they make any difference against thousands of cubic meters of plastic produced every day.

By what measure is Tesla "the best car company"? According to every metric I could find the company is clearly overvalued and stock price is the only measure it seems to truly excel in.

Elon Musk is listed as the CEO of Neuralink, SpaceX and Tesla. Do you genuinely think Elon Musk is so good at being a CEO that he can run three vastly different companies (4 including X Corp which he formally ceded his position as CEO) at the same time? Or do you think that his primary function was founding/buying the companies? Most of his interference in his companies (especially Tesla) seems to have been detrimental: from an atrocious workplace accident rate in Tesla factories because he "doesn't like yellow" to laying off most of Twitter before establishing any persistence/transfer of knowledge.

If you listen to him talk about any subject you're professionally familiar with, it's evident he knows how to mix in buzzwords but doesn't understand the underlying technology or how any of it actually works. His Twitter Spaces interview was a perfect example for software developers, his recent interview about Twitter/X as an "everything app" was an example for anyone working in (or remotely informed about) fintech.

His wealth is almost entirely tied to Tesla's share price and Tesla's share price is tied to his public perception as "real-life Tony Stark". SpaceX mostly runs on government contracts - incidentally most of Tesla's actual revenue also stems from public funds in the form of emissions trading.
Fortifications, armored cavalry help as well. There are only so many fortresses you can ignore before your supply lines are cut. And only so many sieges you can upkeep at the same time, as a army focusing on strategic mobility at that, before you get out maneuvered by a smaller, bit more mobile, enemy force.

That being said, the Mongols failed to build a lasting empire in Europe / West of the Ural. They pretty much did build a lasting one between the Ural and, sometimes including, mainland China.
It’s a matter of economics at this time. The naval vessels in Sevestapol are extremely expensive to build. Destroying them will force Russia to commit resources to rebuilding them. Although not a critical goal for Ukraine, this make sense for Ukraine’s western allies

The thing is Elixir is really good at an increasing number of things.

If you need to write a HTTP proxy in the middle of your application, since Elixir processes & incoming HTTP workers are cheap, you do not need to go evented: it just works.

If you need to have reactive web apps with automated changes pushed to the client, it's the same: there is no need to external tools (e.g. any cable) at certain scale.

If you need to do some scripting, there is `Mix.install/2` for single-file dependencies description & use.

If you start crawling too much web pages or process to many APIs, the concurrency support kicks in and there is less need to scale (or later), turning into fewer machines, fewer ops problems (or delayed) etc.

And now you start being able to use MachineLearning, deploy the same type of code on GPU, embed Machine Learning models right in the middle of your web app without much work, etc, which in turns makes it a nice platform for apps / SaaS.

Elixir really is becoming a Swiss-army knife which scales easily :-)
Or seed the atmosphere with sulfur dioxide, causing global cooling like that after a volcanic eruption. We've had enough of those with records to know pretty precisely what the effects are and how long they last.

This will happen, as it is well within the reach of even smaller state actors (and even sub-state) and once you get a wet-bulb event killing thousands in, say India, that country will not have a choice.

And then we'll have to get crackin' building those nuclear power plants (as well as building out solar and wind and geothermal and tidal and storage). Because as another poster pointed out quite correctly: global warming is bad (but manageable), but pre-industrial society is far, far worse.

> From memory - and I memorized this from cooking - 8 fluid ounces (one cup or a half pint) is 8.337 dry ounces (assuming the approximate density of water).

Why memorise this to such precision if you're already approximating away the density? The job is already done for you, 8 dry ounces is approximately 8 fluid ounces, whether its water, milk, oil, or orange juice. If you need to measure liquid mercury, you're not working in the kitchen; if you need greater precision, you need to measure mass or volume directly as appropriate.

Short summary: The Deck is a Linux computer. Get SSH running on it, compile your game for Linux, copy over the files and run it. Out of the various console SDKs, Deck is probably the easiest for indies to get started on, as it's just another computer.

You usually have some sort of boot chain signature for the efuses. You have an initial bootloader and then that checks the signature of the next in the boot chain and so on. You could write an unlocked signed bootloader on the board, that is valid and boots and that can boot into anything.

The question is about tokenizing XHTML, not parsing it into a tree structure like a DOM, which is a critical distinction. Regular expressions are a perfectly valid way to tokenize. This is why the snarky answers does not suggest a better solution - there isnt one!

In here, I would point out that SWATing is a thing solely and absolutely because adult cops behave over the top aggressively.

> As to "implicit firewall", as has been indicated, there isn't really such a thing, just the filtering behaviour.

I mean, there clearly is a firewall. If you buy a printer today, you don't really have to worry very much about how safe its network features are or if the firmware is updated, because if you put it behind a NAT router, it's not reachable from the global internet. Which is clearly a kind of firewall. And, generally, a good thing: it would be TERRIBLE for security if every shoddy network enabled device that anyone's bought for the last 30 years were reachable from the public internet. In the utopian "every device has a unique IPv6 address!", that would be the case.

It's true that an IPv6 gateway/router/whatever could have an explicit firewall that provides the same security, but the fact that this comes "by default" with a NAT router is honestly pretty nice for most users. And it's silly to deny it's an "implicit firewall", it clearly is. That's why I called the IPv6 version an "explicit firewall" two sentences ago.
I loathe my daily meeting every day. You can tell everyone but the PM and our boss see it as a waste of time. I’m working on a project by myself, so I know everyone but the PM and my boss are tuning me out, and likewise for them. The worst part is that we can’t just give our updates and move on with our day- unless our boss is out. At this point we all instinctively pause and wait for him to ask some dumb question usually around when something is going to be completed. If the dude wants more visibility into what we’re doing maybe he shouldn’t be having us writing our own tickets.
> Ahead of its time.

It's not ahead of its time. Instead, it's a very old concept that is manifestly disfavored because it doesn't work as a folk metaphysics. (i.e. as something that the common man can understand with ease, which provides him with an explanation of the world.) It also doesn't work, within reasonable bounds, as the foundation of an ethical system.

My experience is that the "real" answer depends on the situation. Sometimes one really should use the alternative (e.g. cleaner, more general solution, most updated API), while other times they should address the original question as is (e.g. avoid additional dependency/third-party library).

This is one I ran into recently:

Personally, I just don't see the appeal.

A good game is quite immersive without needing any cumbersome goggles. I can't imagine a bad one being immersive with any sort of goggles.

To be fair, I think the same thing about fancy graphics as well; but people seem to love fancy graphics with 4k resolution and ray tracing or whatever the newest gimmick is.

In my opinion, the only significant effect of any graphics fancier than ps3 era is just increased costs, less finished/polished games, and the necessity to appeal to a wider audience.

I think about the same thing about the whole VR thing. If it becomes mainstream, I think there would be hardly any games that take advantage of it; and most of the games would just focus on the spectacle, which gets old extremely quickly.
