Cynically, a "market forces" carbon reduction strategy does have the advantage that it doesn't require anyone to stop any particular behavior, which collectively is easier said than done. If there's even a small chance it could work, shouldn't we try?

I'm sure the UK is reliant on imports in order to enjoy a full breadth of non-essential discretionary choices, and to sustain current levels of food waste. I think it could be misleading to describe that as "import dependent". If the UK lost all access to international trade, people would have to change their diets. Diets would contain more meat, fish, cheese, root vegetables and wheat. They'd contain less rice, processed food, sugar, and a narrower selection of fruits.

I've no doubt that a sudden cataclysmic change to international trade would spike food prices and increase poverty-derived food insecurity. But I doubt there would be physical calorie shortages.
If anyone thinks public restrooms are hard to find in the US, try living in a developing world country like the Philippines. Public urination is so common here; you see it and smell it everywhere.
Not true: we might learn to pull carbon from the atmosphere and turn it into gasoline so that instead of using solar and wind energy to charge electric cars, we use to make gasoline for ICE cars.
What's the big deal about the 1st Amendment and "Freeze Peach" anyway? The majority of anti-vaxxer neo-Nazis are spreading disinformation and literally killing people with their bad ideas.

Much ink has been spilled by many a philosopher on the topic of whether or not numbers "magically exist." Plato was the obvious example of a philosopher who believed numbers "exist" independent of our universe. Though no one is saying they exist "in the physical universe", but it's not a given that they cna't possibly exist if not "within our universe."

Think of it this way. Graham's number is an absolutely enormous number, right? Let's assume for the sake of argument that nobody has ever computed the Graham's-number-th digit of pi. We know for certain that there is a Graham's-number-th digit of pi. And we know that if two people calculated it independently, they'd get the same digit. But (at least in this hypothetical) nobody has actually ever done the calculation to see what the Graham's-number-th digit of pi is. Given all I've said so far, the act of finding out the Graham's-number-th digit of pi seems more like an act of discovery of something that already existed than an act of invention of something that didn't already exist. So, it seems quite reasonable to many to conclude that numbers "exist."

Also, Iah's view does imply that our universe does not encompass all of existence. It also implies that no calculation device need exist anywhere.
Kenji actually brought this up in a recent video where he shows how to make this style pizza. Also - pro tip, you can make this in a home oven, doesn't require crazy hot temps like a Napolitano.

Honestly, if the writer is saying "you can subscribe to 5-8 writers you love for the price of one NYT subscription and that's a terrible deal because it means the cost of writing has gone up" then I strongly disagree. That sounds like a fantastic deal, and I will gladly subscribe to stratechery and Molly White (whose letter is free btw) and Caitlin Kunkel and Byrne Hobart and Noahpinion and....
And still be paying less than a Times subscription with content tailored exactly to what I care about!!
I find that to be a much worse analogy! In your analogy the difference is in everything other than functionality (they all cool the room); here, the difference is in the functionality -- re2 literally cannot match against some patterns. Moreover, writing more code around re2 to hack around its limitations is like constantly pumping water over a fan to improvise an evaporative AC unit, not like installing a window AC unit once and then being able to forget about the difference.

> Look-around is rarely critical functionality

I have to disagree; I've seen them be needed enough to find them critical. (more below)

> when you don't have the full flexibility that you would if you were using a regex from a programming language.

But that's exactly my point - the cases where you can work around it with a programming language is the rare case, not the common one. The only cases where I'd say lookarounds are non-critical are a fraction of those situations where the developer is the one hard-coding the regex. That might be the case if you're prototyping something like a lexer (where the user is the developer), but that's not the majority of cases. And in those cases, you can (and likely will) hard-code a faster implementation anyway.

The much more common cases I see are the regexes that can be specified at run time, where making user write code or jump through other hoops is something between painful and impossible. I feel you argued against your own point in reference to ripgrep, honestly -- because these are the 2 most common situations where I see regexes:

1. Find/replace in text editors. This is probably the most common use of regexes I see. Here, backreferences or lookarounds are absolutely necessary for some replacements.

2. File names/paths, in command-lines or configuration files or such. Lookarounds (and sometimes backreferences) are such a critical tool here. Imagine the difference between being able to write a negation like '^(?!.*/\.(cache|git|svn)/).*[Bb]urnt[Ss]ushi' vs. not being able to.
I don't see how it can be an implementation detail when fundamentally you must yield execution when the programmer has asked to retain execution.

Besides Javascript, its also a common problem in C# when you force synchronous execution of an async Task. I'm fairly sure its a problem in any language that would allow an async call to wait for a thread that could be waiting for it.

I really can't imagine how your proposed syntax could work unless the synchronous calls could be pre-empted, in which case, why even have async/await at all?

But I look forward to your implementation.
> it must be possible to do in an environmentally conscious way. Or Australia's lithium mines have managed to fly under the radar of the environmentalists

Sadly, both don't seem to be true. Australia's lithium mining has a higher carbon footprint than others (3.4): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S092134492...

We has some of the highest CO2 emissions per capita, so it's not much of a surprise we are doing this inefficiently too.
Neither but the former is closer to it.
This is a huge problem in San Francisco. It's solvable too, but for whatever reason famously the City's leadership isn't really trying to make things better. We live right by Oracle Park where the giants play. On game days there is a flood of fans that piss all over our block. They pee all over our building, sidewalks, everywhere. There is vomit all over too. So much so the buildings here have to pay people to clean it up every morning.

While all this is happening...there is a public restroom in the area that was clearly built for this purpose. It's never open, it's been locked the entire time we've lived in the neighborhood.

I've been working on an idea to just start a non profit that distributes those 5 gallon buckets with those cheap toilet seat lids you can get for them. Then pay people to pick them up and drop them off periodically. Anything is better than letting people continue to defecate in our streets.

I'm not even talking about the homeless population here, just average people, baseball fans.

I'm also not trying to dog on baseball or sports fans in general, I'm one. I'm just saying we should try to figure out a better way.
In my mind I was thinking about recipes and code, which are really little more than ideas. My point was that, if such things emerge with a complete lack of creativity, perhaps they don’t warrant protection.

I feel comfortable calling myself a world traveler, and with that in mind I have to say: no, they really aren't. Outside of VERY small town america, there is a bathroom at every gas station. Every big box store. Every fast food restaurant.

Try going to most of Europe, or Asia. Finding a bathroom is like a needle in a haystack in comparison, and often times when you do find one, you need money to pay to use it. I will say they are generally cleaner, and more "private" than most US bathrooms (at least in western Europe), but if you think it's tough to find one in the US - you probably don't want to travel abroad.
> Also it is likely that, because of environmental regulations, it is not possible to mine the lithium economically. I haven't kept up, but the lack of lithium production in the US suggests that there are regulatory factors at play.

That's a large assumption to make without any investigation.
People should be allowed to discuss to what extent immigration should be allowed. Certainly there is such a thing too few incoming immigrants just like there could by too many.

Not necessarily. Julia will always be 11 years older than Mojo, no matter how old both of them get, and that advantage won't shrink. Not to mention, Mojo is a superset of a 40-year old language with billions of dollars of development poured into it, plus an extra hundred million poured directly into Mojo itself. If we go by resources spent on each, Mojo has had gotten about 5x more investment than Julia.

No, I just wanted to know if we covered some large deserts with solar panels could that power enough DAC to make a difference.

A quick Googling to find current worldwide solar panel production suggests that it would take about 90 years of current production for the panels for a 500 000 km^2 solar farm, so to build enough to just cancel out current emissions would need about 180 times the resources that currently go annually into solar panel production.

So we'd probably need to increase mining (and several other things) by about 20x if we wanted to use this approach to get enough DAC to bring emissions to net zero.

I think that's about as far as I can go. I don't know enough about the availability of various resources to figure out if the various things needed are abundant enough and accessible enough that we could increase production by 20x.
I think the print commission is a better option. My kids definitely want to read the same story over and over.
One big reason this works is that there is a specific area in which all the rideshare cabs can wait. I am guessing this isn't the case in the US either due to a lack of space or the cab cartels not letting it happen.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be pedantic but the literal definition of "defund" is as follows:

https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/eng... - " to stop providing money for something, especially something official"

which is the same as:

https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/us/definition/ame... - "to officially end a law, a system, or an institution"

You can see where if you and I are having this conversation, probably there's a lot of other people like you and I who are talking past each other because the word is being either incorrectly deployed by proponents – or the proponents genuinely want to eliminate police departments.
I'm also in the northeast US (more specifically New England) and that's the issue I couldn't get around when I looked into it.

My AC unit is only 1.5 tons but my furnace is 40k BTU and, unlike the 75k BTU furnace it replaced, is appropriately sized for the space. (Why someone previously installed such a massively oversized furnace I will never know.) If I remember correctly a 1.5 ton heat pump is roughly equivalent to 18k BTU, so it might be useful in the all too brief cool but not cold periods in spring and fall but in winter I'd still mainly be relying on the gas furnace.
I can't speak for other countries, but I'm not too surprised that you can run into certain cultures of Americans who seemingly have zero regards for the sentiment of others. Maybe it is ego and entitlement, but it's not because they can't be deported.

I worked at a computer repair place that had a bunch of 16 port hubs (not switches) collecting dust.

> My current intuition said 100M bookings per day has a decent chance of being a lot for sqlite and even postgres depending on how it's distributed

If you don't know the distribution of requests, assuming a constant rate simplifies calculations; and can be interpreted as "what if the traffic gets as high as this".

sqlite can handle 50k inserts per second. -- Sure, if you need more than 50k inserts in a second, then you can't use sqlite. But, the rate of 50k/second sustained for a day would be half the world's population booking a hotel every day. (Since "seconds in a day" is much smaller than "half the world's population": that the rate for one day is staggeringly high indicates that that rate for one second is also staggeringly high).
Wow. Thanks for all of this. I am really interested in being able to remotely command the drone to navigate to waypoints sequentially and semi-autonomously. My understanding is that the low end of DJI drones do not support this. Do you have recommendations there for specific DJI models?

If the car needs $9000 in repairs but it's a $4000 car, you haven't lost $9000 because you don't do the repairs. You've lost the $4000 value of the car, less whatever you can get for it as scrap.

If the car needs $400 in repairs, you might find it worthwhile to do the repairs, but that's not depreciation.
Is that a culture you want to foster, though?
Agreed. I was never trying to say it's the whole pie. I'm replying to a parent comment that implies the US has a big deficit in this kind of skill and training, which isn't accurate.
The article is from 2016. Recent data from 2023 studies are showing that while Gen Z and Millenials are fewer to marry and want children [1], they are also rewriting the rules of dating [2]. Digital forums like TikTok are giving younger generations a safe place to destigmatize what are deeply personal choices.[3]

But not all persons should marry and not all parents have the patience and attention to be good parents. It's a difficult road and who can blame any person for choosing otherwise?

Someone once told me that humans are basically juvenile chimps
These proposed lithium mines are going to be tiny though, compared to other minerals. For example Thacker Pass is only planning to disturb 6000 acres, which is basically nothing. Every oil well in Texas is on 1 to 5 acres of disturbed land and there are a quarter-million of those in Texas alone. The amount of land that has been scraped flat for oil is incredible.

You only have to glance around to find other mine disturbances. They are sized proportionately to the amount of the material humans want. Copper mines are pretty impressive. Potash and borax mines are rather large. Iron mines are absolutely gigantic.

That's not a fundamental restriction or design problem with Julia, you're just describing JIT compilation. Plenty of languages can be compiled either ahead-of-time or just-in-time. Actually, this should be unusually easy for Julia, because their JIT compiler isn't a heuristic-based compiler like JITs for Python or JS.

The problem is funding. There are 0 full-time employees working on this issue because JuliaComputing has gotten about 10% of the funding Mojo has.
It could be the C++ for executing trades and BEAM for the client orders. Obviously you'd want something like C++ there when you're racing. Though if they did the trading as a C++ NIF it could all still run on the BEAM avoiding a memory copy. Interesting thought exercise anyway.

Not really, as long as we hit net zero fast enough that’s sufficient. People working on carbon capture are really trying to sell the idea of carbon capture but it’s optional.

Earth slowly returns to equilibrium point well below current CO2 levels without our intervention and current levels aren’t so high as to be unlivable. So the only question we need to ask is if it’s easier to cut emissions or sequester them.
Quick math, it takes 10+ times more energy to scrub and then store carbon from the air, then you get by burning natgas for the same amount of CO2. (1 ton of LNG produces 100 KWh and 2.76 tons CO2, and the thermodynamic minimum energy required to extract CO2 from ambient air is about 250 kWh/ton CO2, but apparently realistically closer to 1,200 kWh / ton.)

It'd make way more sense to first focus on decarbonizing our energy grid, before starting to spend 10+x more energy to recapture and push it back underground.
We had the same kinda thing in central Ohio. It's basically the same as Marion's and others around Cinci, but the Chicago tavern style is much thinner and more cracker like. If you're ever in Chicago, my favorite is a place called My Pi in Bucktown. It's my favorite pizza of all time. I visited my hometown for the first time in about 12 years right after that and got a piece of my favorite place. It's decently thicker and more chewy.
Self-amputation and -mutilation is horrifying to me in a gut-punch, slightly titillating way.

Kinda off-topic, but I'm trying to find a webfic that I read a few years back, about teenagers in a small town who become guardians of the forest (witches). One of them shapeshifts to kiss a boy she likes(?)

The bit that really stuck with me was a dark ritual gladitorial tournament, where kids come back crippled, missing limbs, or dead. It happened at night in a liminal dreamworld, but the consequences were real.

I think what gets me about that kind of thing, is that in the modern world most blood sacrifice is hidden. People pay in time and sweat, in long term health, and it's never as obvious as losing a hand.
> The NYT, in this article, admits to seeing a video that proves that Cruise did not block that ambulance.

I can't find this admission in the article. The article includes a quote from a Cruise rep saying that the ambulance "was never impeded," but this appears to be in the context of the first responders having to move one of their own vehicles so that the ambulance could leave (second graf).

In other words: Cruise's argument appears to be "we didn't block you because you found another way out." That wouldn't be an acceptable argument from a human driver at an accident scene; it it's an acceptable on from a self-driving car company.
