I'm a Brit. We don't have air con by default. For a few years me and the wife had Floridian relos (Coral Springs). We visited in summer and the house is about 17C (65F). Outside it is at least 35C (95F). The air con unit in the garage is pissing water everywhere and under quite some load.

I did ask why they kept the house so cold and was told "because we can". I got it: they had a really hard start off in life and were now able, through parental sacrifices etc, and their own hard work, be able to basically show off and keep their house cold in summer. I've seen the same in TX - my brother worked for EDS near Fort Worth a while back (20 years back). The attitude is the same there and again, I understand the individual stories of being able to conquer something that they could not growing up. Obviously you also get the "because we can" from multi millionaires too but for what sounds like a different reason but is really the same.

In the UK we constantly get badgered about water use. The fucking stuff falls out of the sky with monotonous regularity. The place is a series of islands. The Atlantic is off to the left and that's a lot of water. What is really wrong is our management of the stuff. There is rather a lot of technical debt in our water management system and it will need real money to fix.

Faffing about a TV isn't going to save the world - that bollocks is for politicians and fossil fuel companies to victim shame consumers instead of giving a shit.

A TV uses eleccy and that can be solar/wind/unicorn farts or good old fashioned gas or liquidised puppies.

My home's underfloor heating is eleccy and hence seriously expensive but I am told that my supplier - Shell Energy - only uses renewables to deliver it (Shell? RLY?). I originally signed up with a "green" supplier but they went bust along with a few other shyster energy suppliers hereabouts when the shit really hit the fan. Ukraine invasion nightmare. OPEC opportunistically taking the piss as usual and massive companies filling their boots post a pandemic.

I can almost feel the pain in Saudi and Shell.
I'm amazed you're still with Fedora after all these years. About a decade ago it seemed every machine I had was either too old or too new to be supported by Fedora. For cloud machines I had a much easier time looking up instructions how to do this or that with Ubuntu so I switched a long time ago.
Most of the discussion here centers around utility and human benefit vs consumption.

What’s really striking about crypto using 16% of the power usage of data centers is the population served and utility provided.

The internet has roughly 5.2 billion users, all of which utilize the cited datacenters.

Bitcoin, as one example, has an all time high of 568k daily transactions.

US adults on average do 2.3 financial transactions per day.

Bitcoin, in the busiest day on the network ever, powered enough transactions for the economic activity of a small US city.

Anyone can look at a block explorer for [pick a network] to find that, at best, the total number of worldwide crypto users is roughly 0.5% of the internet population.

So 16% of the power for 0.5% of the users - and who knows what value/utility is achieved with whatever those crypto users are doing (not much).

It’s disgusting.
> This has the downside that packages are owned by the user which first ran the install

This is a bit of a security problem if Homebrew's .../bin is on your sudoers secure_path, because now your normal user can overwrite something that might be invoked via a simple `sudo whatever`, which doesn't specify the full path to whatever

> which might lead to those packages running with elevated privileges after a sudo install as well? I don’t know, and I’m not eager to find out

No, definitely not by any normal mechanism. Maybe there are some exception, like packages that set up LaunchAgents or LaunchDaemons, or which run the install scripts of .pkg installers which ask for elevated privileges. But those can set up programs that run with elevated privileges anyway.
doesn't this require you to nail down design requirements?

If the designer gives a few different comps to try out, or wants to A/B test something, they'd have to align those changes with both backend AND frontend people to make sure they both know what the changes are.

If the data dictates exactly what the frontend should look like / placement of content, shouldn't the backend just send styling / html / app code directly, and just skip frontend completely?

The way generics are implemented is definitely not the reason why the CLR has a non-existent language ecosystem. The real reason is because .NET Framework for years was a Microsoft/Windows-only thing, and is still perceieved that way despite .NET being cross-platform now; yes Mono existed since 2005, but why would anyone invest time in writing a whole new programming language for a platform that was Windows only until 2016? This, despite the technical facilities that allow for multi-langauge implementations in the CLR. All the langauges that support the CLR are Microsoft developed ones: C#, VB.NET, F#, and C++/CLI, the last one still being Windows-only. Even then VB.NET and C++/CLI exist because Microsft internally needed to support old code for a bunch of already existing projects at Microsoft anyway.

Also generics in the CLR isn't mandatory - you can implement a language without buying into the CLR-way of generics. For instance in C++/CLI, you can mix and match templates with CLR generics, but it's in no way mandatory. You can still write C++/CLI code using C++'s native template system: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/extensions/generics-an...

The idea in medieval Germany is that when farm yields were low, they were looking to reduce the number of mouths to feed and post-childbearing women were deemed sufficiently 'worthless'. It also could be that during these times they were eating moldy grain they otherwise wouldn't, and the mold may have been ergot, with potent psychedelic/hallucinogenic properties (it's LSD, basically).
The need for the open websocket and a heavy server is why I switched from Blazor to HTMX.

this is fine but makes the backend extremely slow and hard to maintain. it's effectively just glorified RPC

- restful api low logic on backend and lots of logic on front-end

- grpc style as the author suggests, more logic on backend no logic on front-end

- keep api restful on backend, add backend for front-end(graphql/rpc), front-end remains simple, most logic is in the middle. this also allows you to isolate presentation spaghetti code in one place, keeps your backend api clean for use for other clients

worked in all 3 probably having a custom presentation layer works best but require more setup upfront. another advantage of having a restful api and have the front-end do more work is being able to incrementally load data into the UI therefore reducing TTI/TTFB
Parent poster used the 5% value, so I did as well. But yes, to answer your question. Shown here on a Debian 11 system that's fairly old:

$ hyperfine "export LC_ALL=C; cut -d' ' -f1 fake_log.txt | sort -S5% | uniq -c | sort -rn -S5% | head"
Benchmark 1: export LC_ALL=C; cut -d' ' -f1 fake_log.txt | sort -S5% | uniq -c | sort -rn -S5% | head
Time (mean ± σ): 1.504 s ± 0.318 s [User: 2.833 s, System: 0.474 s]
Range (min … max): 0.942 s … 1.937 s 10 runs

$ hyperfine "export LC_ALL=C; cut -d' ' -f1 fake_log.txt | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head"

Range (min … max): 3.591 s … 3.919 s 10 runs

Setting the buffer value to ~half the file size (100 MB) resulted in a mean time of 2.291 seconds. Setting it to the size of the file resulted in a mean time of 1.549 seconds, which is close enough to the 5% to call it equal - not like this server isn't busy with other stuff, so it's hardly a good place for perfect benchmarking.

Syscalls aren't free, nor are disk reads, so if you have the RAM to support slurping the entire file at once, it's sometimes faster.

The (human) memory footprint of the more verbose program is much larger though, requiring it to be thought of in smaller chunks, and thus in a slower manner.

Idiot who transferred from physics to computer science after year 1 here, so please make allowances. But all of those phenomena are emergent. Shouldn’t physics focus much more on the underlying micro states and micro processes than the emergent phenomena?

Obviously there needs to be a transition, but at some point you go from physics to engineering. I suppose it depends what specialty in physics you go into. Nobody can specialise in everything.

(Un)fortunately we don't make enough of such waste to be able to do it at scale (even a city scale).
We had a 120m x 50m public pool around as a kid. It was fantastic, more like swimming in a lake. It got replaced by two stainless steel contraptions (one regular 50m pool and one "play pool"). The play pool has many features that are supposed to be "fun" for kids.

But I remember the thrill of swimming to the centre of the pool and being away from everything. It felt like a real achievement and a little unsafe but in a good way.

I suppose it wasn't easy to maintain and not as "safe".

Preventing poorly-written software to be added to the kernel is a Good Thing. The system is working as planned.
As soon as a critical mass of carriers across the world adopt esim the space will absolutely be used for something else. Apple is forcing the issue, trying to force carriers to adopt it. No other phone company has the leverage that Apple does. They have a lock on the majority of high value customers. A carrier that does not support the latest iPhone will lose customers to one that does. I expect more countries to be esim only for the iPhone 15. I think China will be the big issue, don’t think any carriers there support it. And of course the carriers there aren’t exactly subject to competitive pressures.

As to why Apple is pushing esim I can imagine several reasons. Number 1 is just the space in the phone itself. I also think that Apple would love a world where people didn’t go the carrier stores. More people would buy directly from them and then get pitched all the Apple stuff instead of the carrier’s. Everything from accessories to insurance. I do think the world will much better once carriers are reduced to utilities and I think widespread esim usage would go a long ways towards that.

I can actually agree with this take. Most of the opinions I've seen in this vein take some absurdly small limit, like 5 lines. 500, though? Yeah. My team rewrote a ProxySQL handler in Python because the bash version had gotten out of hand, and there were only a handful of people who could understand what it was doing. It passed 100% of spellcheck tests, and was as modular as it could possibly be, but modifying it was still an exercise in pain.

Interesting. The biggest issue I would imagine is getting people to understand where and how to dispose of their electronics waste. While dedicated waste streams are likely more unit efficient, throwing away Li batteries is an infrequent enough event for most people that they probably won’t think of it or remember when the need arises. It would be interesting to see if it was possible to identify and separate Lithium batteries from general single stream waste or recycling.

> On one side, we are born, maybe reproduce, then we die. Fundamentally the same.

Yet birth can involve medical procedures to protect the life of both child and mother. When and how often we choose to have children is different. We don't need to have as many children (indeed, it is undesirable to have as many children) because of that last point, how and when we die. While the causes of death to the body may be the same, the distribution of those causes is different since we tend to live to an older age.

About 10 years ago, I went to an abandoned cemetary in a remote community. It was quite tragic simply seeing the distribution of those deaths. A great many were infants. A great many more were teens and young adults. Then there were the elders. While we still have deaths at all ages, we don't have as many people dying so young because the in between things, the factors in people's lives that cause them to die at a young age, are not a part of our lives.

We must be careful about over generalizations and trivializing the challenges of past eras.

It's cost-effective for airlines to be a nuisance like this. It's a rattle of the sabre, and they simply wish to prove that they're serious and tough on this "abuse", and they want it to have a chilling effect, especially on individuals who may have the audacity to try it independently.

I don't know about this news article but please note that TRT World (in this case TRT Africa) is a biased media source as it's known to be close to Turkish government and its president Erdogan. Also worth noting its parent TRT is the national public broadcaster of Turkey, stands for "Turkish Radio and Television". I would strongly discourage everyone from treating it as a reliable news source.

Here, in France, established companies like dealing with big established providers and feel happy with licence contracts. Plus, a version last at least five years. (to compete Ubuntu had to come with four years LTS...) So when they have to use a GNU/Linux distribution, they tend to choose RHEL (Novell could have been a good choice but I don't know why they're not known or not well.) Many countries in Europe and in French speaking Africa countries also love RHEL.
Consequence: when you couldn't sign/subscribe for RHEL, you pick CentOS.
I find it a little funny that Redis is considered here. We use it! We just store vectors in redis, fetch what we need, and run cosine similarity in memory. It’s very fast and works well. It’s not suitable for large amounts of data, but if your “knowledge base” can be measured in MB of vectors (instead of GB or TB) then it’s worth considering.

I’m just not sure if I’d consider it a database. It’s just a long lived cache for us.

> it seems (1) fairly clear that "the economy", meaning in some sense the total amount of actual "wealth", has been growing at a few percent per year on average for quite a while,

It's not clear at all and I certainly don't think that's the case, personally. Dollar numbers went up, population went up (barely - https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/popu...). Wealth was extracted and concentrated, not necessarily grown. The wealth was extracted from more primitive foreign economies as the poor of the US became less attractive for labor. The number of fabs/factories that moved out the US is a telling factor.
