There's tons here, too, once we get past the laser focus on removing CO2 and averting global warming. Off the top of my head:

1.) Every major city needs evacuation plans, and evacuation routes, in case of a natural disaster. Because disasters will get more frequent. Right now these are terribly inadequate, as we saw with Hurricane Rita. Solving this starts with FEMA, but probably requires advances in transportation, ability to quickly lay new infrastructure, construction technologies, information & coordination tech.

2.) Low-lying cities will need large seawalls and levees, like what Foster City just built. It cost them a few billion, but it's still cheaper than rebuilding all the buildings after a flood. Imagine scaling this up to every coastal or river city.

3.) We need better strategies to let wildfires burn in the wild yet quickly arrest their progress when they get close to populated areas.

4.) We need cheap insulation, and even cheaper ways to retrofit all the old housing stock in the U.S. with cheap insulation.

5.) We need more efficient and cheaper HVAC systems, ideally ones that don't burn fossil fuels.

6.) We need huge investments in the electric grid to support EVs + beefier HVAC. We also need software systems to manage this smartly, so eg. we can stagger EV charging and not put huge loads on the grid all at once. HVAC also serves as a big battery in a well-insulated home; you can time heat-pump loads for when they'll be most effective and retain that heat within the home during peak load times.

A lot of these will also require extensive public/private cooperation, which is its own sort of problem, and one that's also fairly amenable to software assistance (once the people in charge get tech-savvy enough).
Of course the bindings you create are inherently going to be more intuitive to you, but Vim bindings are designed so you can do all the editing you need without moving your hands (like moving your hand over to the arrow keys).
Reasons to Be Grateful for Biotechnology
I wish google would do weekly updates here. I live in a small city in the midwest USA and one road has been closed for construction for over a month and google maps still wants me to go that way.

We’d need to increase the world’s forests by something like 700 mature trees, per year, per person, for ever.
I lived about 5min towards the centre (Bow) for almost ten years - and the other side in W2 & W12 (worlds apart!) for a couple before that - and I agree with you, but the optimistic alternative reading is that it is also quite amazing how much is accessible within that time.

i.e. it takes 40m to get anywhere... But there's an incredible variety of things & places to which you can get in 40m!
Have you found anything better for the area? This frustrates me too...
WASM will probably put them out of business, given that you can recompile an entire desktop system including VNC etc. to it.

Mass transit construction, promotion, and adoption would solve the same problem with technology that is easier to build and distribute.
+1. I would definitely be interested in this kind of investigation. Ideas to consider: Is this just the coding part of the genome, or the whole genome? Was there any difference in characteristics between different parts of the genome? Could you show differences in characteristics between coding, intronic, regulatory, and other parts of the genome, and could these be used to potentially identify candidate regulatory elements?

Unfortunately (as I am discovering) the intersection between biology/genetics and some of these more computer-science-specific ideas gets far less interest than it should.
At this point in the climate emergency, we need more constructive conversations. Simply stating that carbon capture is a scam deflects the conversation from productive avenues. How about: "Carbon capture is an unproven technology, which hasn't stopped companies like X from trying to make a buck doing it. We should be focusing more on Y, because it can help today."
Yes, if you like VSCode, keep using it. I say that everyone's preference is different. As for me, I use both vim (for general editing) and vscode (javascript coding), depending on what I'm working on. As for the keyboard command, I prefer not to use arrow key since it takes my hands off the optimal position as I need to reach for that arrow key, which puts a slight pause in thought of all the code that I'm thinking in my head. Sure a loss of one second may not be much, but when I'm in the flow / zone, I just want to move as fast as possible.
Fully Remote New Hires Show 18% Drop in Productivity, Study Says
Four engines shut down or never started, so a launch would have been scrubbed. The static fire lasted about 2.5s. Enough to show a massive blast of steam. But nowhere near full power. Not enough to really say if the rocket bidet is going to work.
> in Vim you use $ to move to end of line, and ^ to move to begin of line. Not only is it unintuitive

To be fair, that is intuitive if you learned regexes before VIM.

The important part is those motion commands compose. If I wanted to visually select up until the end of the line, I can type v$ — if I want to delete everything from this position to the start of the line, I could type d^. In the middle of a word that needs to disappear? diw (delete in-word). Do I want to copy that word? yiw (yank in-word). Eventually, outside of composing macros (another great feature), you don't really think about the underlying letters of finger movements to perform a certain task; you just do it.

It's not for everyone, and it does come with a downside of making every other code editor feel borderline unusable unless it comes with a good VIM plugin (Jetbrains' suite of IDEs are great for this, and VSCode is pretty good).
If anything changed, it's worse now. Any hotel which has an outsourced package delivery to an "in house business center run by (franchisee of ups/fedex) is generally going to be horrible for package delivery. I generally do Amazon locker (for Amazon), or pick up at a nearby non-hotel fedex/ups location instead, even if it requires taking an uber to it (although I have a rental car in almost all of these cases).
I forget. It was many years ago. I don't care.

At the time, it hurt, but now I don't care. I don't even remember where I submitted it! I don't care.

If they'd accepted it, I probably wouldn't be working in software. I'd probably still be in some kind of research, I guess. I don't know!

It's so many years ago, I just don't care. Time changes everything I guess. I suppose they missed out! Ha ha! :)
I recommend taking some time to consciously assess your own values. When I went through this exercise several years ago, I wrote down things like “family”, “helping others”, “pursuit of knowledge”, “health”.

Once you understand what is important to you, set out to find ways to align your actions with those values. For instance, if I value family and don’t think I’m spending enough time with my family, I should make a goal to spend a certain amount of time with my family. The “real problems” are whatever you decide they are.
Can you give some insight on how the J1 fits in all this? The presentation explaining what drove its invention suggests it actually was faster than the register-based alternative, although I'm sure that is also partially because it only focused on the instructions needed for its task.

You probably don't use $ and ^ to move around in a line. It's much more likely you want to add text at those locations, so you'd use A to append to the line or I to insert at the start of the line. These are much easier to type. Similarly, gg and G are beginning and end of file, and V selects the entire line, but you could use c^ or c$ if you do actually want to change to the beginning or end of the line.
The problem is specific to advertisements on the internet, and modern social media enabled by them.

Ad companies have strong financial incentive to maximize user engagement. Over time, they discovered the best way to achieve that is promoting outrage culture. Angry people generate tons of clicks, page views, and comments.

Before mass advertisements, content providers paid for bandwidth instead of earning money per views. I don’t believe internet had such polarizing effect back then.

You are not. Only when you start using motions, macro's, jumps (with relative line numbers) etc things got interesting (for me).

The $ and ^ probably come from regex but I agree they feel a bit unergonomic on a standard keyboard. You can remap them if you're really bothered by it.

Personally I tend to use 'A' and 'I' a lot more because I tend to want to insert/append directly after moving anyway. And if I don't: just press escape. A bit of a hack but at this point it's just muscle memory.

And maybe in the end it all just doesn't work for you, and that's fine too! Vim is about ergonomics for a big part, and that is just a very personal thing.
I don't think the post specifies it has to be a technical problem. Besides, it's not a social-political problem until someone does the technical work. Does anyone have a proof-of-concept implementation for Firefox or Chromium yet? No.
I don't care where are water fountains, but what bus/train/metro can I take to go to another place, where is the bus stop. At what time does arrive, and which bus stop do I need to get down.

I can do that only on google maps. Open Street Map does not provide that info. Now I am sure there are some local app I can use for each individual city that works fine. But with google maps I only need to have one app.

As user, that is what is valuable for me. I honestly dont care about how clutter is the interface.
I'd love to see what William Orbit can do with that thing.
Most of the time it doesn’t matter. Double (or float) by default is premature optimization. When you start dealing with millions or billions of values, sure reach for the annoying, counterintuitive, footgun laden numeric types. But that’s not most code.
> By contrast, in Vim you use $ to move to end of line, and ^ to move to begin of line.

You can also use shift+i and shift+a to move o beggining/end of line and enter insert mode.
I think you need to think of it from 2 perspectives. What if I only had 5 years to make an impact and what if I had 20. The UN has its 17 sustainable goals [1] which can give you a better idea of what challenges face us at a macro level.

Start with your skill set, what do you have a unique advantage in that others don't? Are you a biologist? Work on creating more nutrient-dense banana or something. Know how to code? Solve a simple problem that wastes tons of time at a large scale (help your DMV or help people navigate something cumbersome using tech).

Tips:

- bind going back to normal mode to something other than Esc. Popular ones are capslock, Ctrl-[, jj, and jk

- use forward/back by word (w, e, and b) rather than going by character. Add numeric prefixes for faster jumping, eg jump to end of 3rd word with 3e

- turn on relative line numbers and use prefixes to jump to the desired line, eg 10j to go down ten lines, copy lines (y10j), etc.

- use f to go forward to a desired character, eg fk to go to the next k

- use i to apply actions to whatever is inside of brackets/parens/etc. Eg delete everything inside of parens with di), copy everything inside of braces with yi}

- I don’t remember if you have to turn it on specifically, but the vim mode for vscode supports vim surround, so you can do stuff like: change surrounding single quotes to double quotes with cs’”, add double quotes to word with yse”, etc

Likewise cold-blooded things like frogs have fairly massive genomes too, and I thought it was so that the organism could cope with the vast differences in chemical processes required to operate at different temperatures. We as warm-blooded creatures don't need to be as complicated.
I'm going to guess because that topic was covered in the 1990s, making it harder for a new researcher to come up with a novel idea.

For example, quoting "Sublinear growth of information in DNA sequences", Giulia Menconi, https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/32/suppl_2/W628/1040725... from 2005:

> The Lempel–Ziv complexity measure is based on text segmentation; we have termed it a ‘complexity decomposition’. It may be interpreted as the representation of a text in terms of repeats. Initially, this approach was implemented for analyzing DNA by Gusev and coauthors (13,14).

13 is Gusev,V.D., Kulichkov,V.A. and Chupakhina,O.M. (1991) Complexity analysis of genomes. I. Complexity and classification methods of detected structural regularities. Mol. Biol. (Mosk). 25 , 825–834.

14 is Gusev,V.D., Nemytikova,L.A. and Chuzhanova,N.A. (1999) On the complexity measures of genetic sequences. Bioinformatics, 15, 994–999.

Google Scholar has 326 matches for "Lempel-Ziv power law dna" at or before 2010, for example, "Entropy and predictability of information carriers" from 1995 with "The capability to describe the structure of information carriers as DNA, proteins, texts and musical strings is investigated.".
Of course, if a remote hire is 20% cheaper then that's a net win. And in many cities the cost of providing an office alone can be that big, even without the higher salaries often needed for in person workers...

* Doing data entry

* Randomly assigned to home/office not choosing to be there

I mean, to be fair, the article isn't actually advocating that he was "only working a single day per week" despite what the title says. Furthermore, there's a big difference between "working" as defined by your employer, and "working" as defined by your productive contribution to society.

I suppose by the latter, some people never work a day in their lives, eh? ;)

It is intuitive if you find regular expressions intuitive.

Note that it's not the only way to go to the end of line.

Home/End bring you to beginning/end of line like anywhere.

`I` is like `^` followed by `i`, brings you before the first non-empty char in insert mode.

`A` is like `$` followed by `a`, brings you after the last char in the line in insert mode (append).

If you'd like to select things press `v` in normal mode and move around with directions or Home/End or ^/$.

All things considered there are only so many keys to have meaningful/semantic shortcuts, you get used to the one you use the most.

It's more accurate to say that plant genome sizes vary over an incrediblely larger range than that found in other eukaryotes, than that plant genomes are inherently large compared to animals'. Plants can have quite small genome sizes as well as giant genomes. The large genomes are in large measure due to the fact that plants typically can duplicate their entire genomes (leading to polyploidy) or large elements of their genomes, with no ill effect. Animals typically don't survive massive genome duplication.

Dimmable LEDs is basically impossible to do well without a smart bulb because of how they work. Hue is among the best, but even that is making me tempted to replace everything with ancient incandescents and oil lamps.

Smart devices are the closest thing to driving me to be a Luddite because nothing is remotely as annoying as having to reboot and update your lightbulb.
A habitable "shed" to serve as an office. In the near future that might be displaced by an underfloor heating system.
Yes performance involves experiments, but are they scientific experiments? I'm not sure it matters either way, it's a purely semantic debate. The issues that create replicability problems in CS are pretty different to the ones that create issues in other fields. My experience was that they're purely engineering problems rather than problems of incentives or non-replicable designs. If the issue was just that some papers occasionally don't replicate because the authors forgot a detail, they get queried and update the paper then nobody would care about this issue. It gets attention because that's sadly not what happens.
Not right off, but I could possibly look at the book this evening and reply some of them here.
Modern encryption techniques are based on our inability to factor large numbers into prime numbers. If you factor a number that's used as the key into the two prime numbers it was composed from, then you have broken the encryption.

I think the main problem is that lots of people car about CO2 emissions but feel (and largely are) powerless to do anything about it as so much of globally emissions are from business.

Governments need to support CO2 reduction and force businesses to cut emissions.

On top of that we need CO2 capture, and yes, we are not going to reduce emissions enough so we will need to adapt a changing climate.
We need new ways of living in large-scale societies.

Current political systems at almost every scale are still essentially just monkey-troup dominance hierarchies.

Market capitalism does not work at this scale, or rather, it works too well, converting everything to paperclips.

We want the dynamism and innovation that markets bring, without the rentier-ing and enshitification. I notice a strand in recent reporting trying to distinguish 'rentiers' (bad) from 'capitalists' (good), but it's a false distinction; capitalism almost by definition is people with money using it (by owning the means of production, or of existence) for the goal of making more money. All other goals seem to have become incidental, and the environment, social harmony, individual wellbeing and sanity are all victims.

So many problems stem from the incentives these broken systems create. Unconstrained fossil-fuel use, deforestation, pollution of the commons, junk products designed for obsolescence, junk addictive diets, corruption, rash emotive decisionmaking, and on and on.
