Except per capita co2 emissions AND total emissions have been falling in the USA.

China now emits more co2 than europe and USA combined. And this is NOT because of exports to the west, those are now also falling yet co2 emissions are still climbing.

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/annual-co2-emissions-per-...

This is what I mean. Just these two countries like india and china are emitting so much CO2, that any reduction in emissions by the west by not eating steak just won't matter. Either you stop china doing this (good luck!) or think of another solution.
I guess the "best viewed with" and "please use the last version of chrome" banners preventing you from logging in some services could be seen as a bug from normal users.
> this only makes sense in the US (or wherever else it's common for your dishwasher not to heat its own water).

American dishwashers heat their own water too - I think this is for cases when the dishwasher has a time limit on how long it will spend heating up the water (perhaps to meet expectations on cycle length).

Nonsense. Developing diplomacy for your nation is anti-war.

But we know that diplomatic corps don't get even a pittance of the funding that the warrior hordes do ..
That's just rejecting information processing by one descriptive system and pretending another isn't information processing. Analog computers are possible, just difficult to build and make reproducible in a useful way for mankind.

But then of course, any analog process can be simulated by a sufficiently high fidelity digital one (i.e. digital music encoding). So all you've really got to is "it might take a considerably more powerful computer to fully reproduce the analog effects of human consciousness".
The world has a long, long way to go to catch up with the US' vast and heinous war crimes, crimes against humanity, and massive violations of human rights at scale.

Anyone who lived through the soviet era can see that the USA has factually become the thing it was resisting, all this time, during the cold war era.

War-profiteers such as Anduril are distasteful in that light, because they are producing weapons systems that are even MORE impune to public scrutiny.

Stealth capabilities are there to hide from your own people too.
I spent 2 hours trying to uninstall Edge unsuccessfully then decided to live with it.
Answer: smaller target to cover! Modern Linux has most code in device drivers to support so many different devices. Then, it supports many targets for other subsystems, like file systems.

The original Unix provided one implementation for each subsystem. They relentlessly simplified the problem they were solving to make it doable.
You put cooked food into the compost? Aren't you worried about the salt?
In my experience, CS graduates with any experience lack far behind in skill/knowledge than fresh graduates with EE/ECE degrees. The latter just seem to understand how computer software works and can really do any task, while the former seem to just memorize a whole bunch of ways of doing things with no fundamental understanding of what is going on under the hood, and have to be taught explicit processes on how to do things, with an inability to self learn.

You don’t.

This is where framework nonsense gets you in trouble. If you are troubleshooting in that way you are basically stuck doing a shift+ctrl+f through the entirety of a project string searching for something the resembles the HTML output of the code hoping the result you find is actually the result you need. Nonsense.

The reason why it works that way is because you are trying to find where certain content is generated from code, but that isn’t how the framework works. The framework is a generic solution for how to write code, an architecture in a box, so it solves basic functional concerns with content as an input. It then compiles your content input from something friendly to you, something that pretends to look like HTML into DOM instructions with events attached.

If instead the code is just a collection of functions that generate the DOM artifacts directly, without compiling from something unrelated, then it’s just a matter of organizing your functions into files by content type. Then you simply go to the correct file and look through the functions associated with DOM output. In a large project you can find what you need the first time without guessing and without string searches through the code about 80% of the time and another 10-15% of the time that place you first looked suggests the next place you should look.
Warning, the reaction to massive security issues in a bundled PDF reader of the file manager made me uninstall all of these apps. Safety of my device and data is paramount.

Hermes itself is already faster than JSC, which is on par with V8. This just puts it way ahead and probably closer to Swift/Kotlin code, at least in the realm of mobile apps.
We live in monetary societies, you cannot live without money. What matters is the type of monetization.
Once oil is used only marginally for fuel and heating, the demand will be a lot less (minus 80% or thereabouts) and going after difficult to extract sources might indeed not be economical but also not needed to satisfy demand (unless this happens very very late).

During the transition there could be cost spikes at demand levels that are awkward to fill without expensive resources, though.
Oh yes, that brings it all back. Having the user tell me the IRQ and also DMAs and... I'm sure there was more. Sometimes the user would end up having to open up the PC and reseat physical jumpers on hardware cards to have the cards use values that were both offered by the software and not clashing with anything else.

Different world. So much easier now.
A web search that stopped indexing in September 2021 though.
Agreed, these stats should always include the servers for which they could not determine the language - anything else is just lying with statistics.

Exactly. Otherwise it would not be any problem whatsoever. And I say this as an EV enthusiast.
Consciousness: Why Can't We Describe It? (Simon Roper) [video]
It was essentially a "time-sharing" system that multiplexes interactive sessions of multiple users on teletype terminals. The "shell" handles such a session by waiting for user input on the terminal, interpreting it and starting external programs as a sub-hierarchy of user processes. On a teletype terminal, you couldn't even have a cursor-oriented editor like vi, but had to rely on line-oriented editors like ed and sed.
But that's (+ AV1) about it. I wouldn't install edge just to test whether there are any files encoded with these codecs. (unless there are a LOT of media encoded in different ways e.g. youtube)

Just test on chrome and keep in mind to avoid AVIF
Fridges use minuscule amounts of energy. The added complexity of integration would overwhelm any savings.
How true is this though? At least in tech, I have never felt held back by not having a degree. How many jobs does having a humanities degree unlock?
$4 is still quite the inflation. Maybe I'm just a boomer recalling the old days where you could throw in a few quarter at a kiosk and get today's paper.

Perhaps I'd feel better if I knew that 800% markup went to paying writers, but I've also become much more cynical in those 20 years.
My thoughts exactly. Goodhart's law and "cargo cult fitness" come to my mind.
In Denmark, all lenders must be able to take a 30 year fixed interest mortgage. If they can do that, and still have additional room in their finances, they can be allowed to take home a more risky loan, all the way down to interest adjust every 3 months.
I view Brave as very healthy competition to Chrome and Edge. Yes, it's based on Chromium. But it disables the many egregious privacy violations, as well as other bad things.
It's not one or the other, most debug sessions will also include some sort of adhoc logging.

Also "modern" debuggers ("modern" as in "this century") offer a lot more than just simple on/off breakpoints: conditional breakpoints, data read/write breakpoints (e.g. who wrote this broken piece of data), "tracepoints" which don't stop execution but instead log out a message or run some scripted action, etc etc...

A good debugger is essentially an interactive program state explorer and visualizer, ideally it would be fully integrated with the actual development process (e.g. edit, compile, run, break somewhere to inspect program state, tweak some code while program is suspended, rewind a program state a bit and continue running with the modified code, rinse, repeat...).
But you do say, “I am building a house.”
Impressive results, but I think it is important to keep in mind that most of the examined studies in this meta-analysis combined wearable activity trackers with an intervention. The effect of only using a wearable is probably much smaller and the duration of the effect is unclear.

From the limitations section of the discussion:

“Although this umbrella review provides strong assurance of the efficacy of wearable activity trackers in increasing physical activity, few of the systematic reviews and meta-analyses examined the effectiveness of wearable activity trackers alone. […] the multifaceted interventions yielded effects around 50% larger than those using wearable activity trackers alone.”
> [...] the exchange generally has procedures for this that don't involve a regulator.

That's part of why I vaguely referred to 'the authorities' in my original comment. I wasn't quite sure who's doing the amending and reversing, and it wasn't too important.
I could definitely imagine that there's a similar situation in the US.

The one interesting 'feature' of US education is that you don't really pick a subject before the 2nd or even 3rd year. It is quite possible (and common) to spend the first 2 years studying much a wider variety of subjects than you would at most European universities and then spending your final 2 years really focusing in on what you decide to be your core are of focus.
To me this seems suspiciously like confusing heightened awareness of a problem, or inability to treat it early, with cause.

People who seem likely to be diagnosed seem less likely to happily sleep for 12 hours a day for a few weeks after a viral infection, more likely to blame themselves for their state and more stressed by awareness that something is wrong.

Naturally, if a rich layabout has the problem anyway, then we can look to their childhood and find at least one trauma.
They do not give a damn about the user but justify themelves to the user with a corporate slogan: “we care about your experience …” but it’s mostly to a hostage or ignorant userbase.

Huge benefit too is that you have a lot of surface space on the top of a boat that serves little purpose but to stop rain. Slap enough panels on the top of a boat, yeah it doesn't need to be a fully covered one, but if you do you could technically recharge while you're stationary and floating.
I think mindset plays a role as well. Back in the day, there was a restraint on adding features, at least when they would make the logic more complicated for only a tiny or imagined benefit. Part of that was memory/storage limitations. But I think the pursuit of an abstract idea of elegance was equally important. After all, these systems were primarily written for other computer people.

This idea is completely gone from the world of software engineering. Systems become overloaded with the implementation of every crappy idea under the sun -- if a PM in a fever dream can think of it, and an overworked dev can hack it together, it goes in.
Definitely happening now at an accelerated rate.

Are you implying that even when you employ plates and bowls, you still have to also use t-shirts to hold the soup?

If that's the case: (A) yes, your analogy is sound. And (B), you should probably switch crockery, because most people don't have this problem.
Have you built a product? I'd love to take a look and provide feedback.

Chrome does its own stuff. Lately, they added a tracking different from cookies, something that Brave has said they won't be adding. I want the market to segregate at every level.
Why not use a desktop TOTP app?

This is possible using e.g. 1Password, but there must be others you could use as well.

And if energy was more expensive, people would demand energy ratings, or otherwise not buy from that brand.
Some people aren't allowed (rental) or cannot afford built-in AC units. I've got a mobile one in my attic where I WFH because otherwise it gets to 30c+ and that's just unbearable.
I would like to read a brief review of OpenSBI functions, or a rather minimum required set to get Linux like OS to run. How much Linux kernel depends on supervisor ? Also, worth pointing that there's U-Boot which also does some hardware initialization on which kernel relies on.
Considering how they manage various scholarships too, would loans be that much to add? They already deal with money in multitude of ways including things like grants. So there shouldn't be that much difference.
If energy was more expensive, people would care and take this into account when making choices.

Eg in Germany people routinely check out how good the insulation on eg the windows is when they choose a place to buy or rent. That's because energy is expensive in Germany, and it gets cold enough in winter that you need to heat.

If energy is cheap enough, people can be rationally (!) ignorant about these issues.
We will always need some cars.

What's considered an "intervention"? If your phone or watch sending you notifications to be more active counts, doesn't every activity tracker come with that feature? I can imagine wearing an apparently-inert bracelet that gets your activity reported back to researchers at the university would have a smaller motivational effect.

>engineer

College isn't generally worth it for engineering either, unless you really want to work for something government or government adjacent where there is an explicit requirement for a degree.

Learning to code can be done on your own time, and you can get a job without a degree, and software development is applicable to all engineering, with more and more of the "expertise" of other fields being moved into computer software.
Can you point at a house and say “I designed this house?” If the house didn’t have some kind of existence while you were even designing it, how could it be that you designed that, particular house?
Not in open source. Projects with the attitude of allowing any feature that some rando comes up with die quickly when the manpower to keep it up simply isn't there. The projects with maintainers that gatekeep are the ones that survive, and they survive for a long time.

You can use TOTP without a phone, like via PyOTP or through some of the password managers (although on Bitwarden it's a paid feature)

…Which you should be using the picture element or image() to fall all the way back to PNG or JPEG in most scenarios anyhow. New & improved formats like JPEG-XL should be considered ‘enhancements’ rather than relied on.
That is correct and it is the reason I referenced 'God Emperor of Dune'.Maybe I should have mentioned Saberhagen's Berserker series or the replicators from Stargate to make my point more clear...

The ideas that war is the father of many things (Heraclitus) and its creatures grow over man's head (Golem, Sorcerer's Apprentice) is not exactly new.

Oh, dishwashers are definitely hard on printing on glasses.

I'm not sure about scratches. I can imagine you would get scratches if your detergent (especially crystals) doesn't completely dissolve? I mean, people even sometimes use sugar as a scrubbing agent. Dissolved sugar can't scratch anything, but sugar crystals can.
I've also wondered why no one ever tried to make a true "penny arcade". The problem is that it cost companies some money to process transactions, and credit card companies hate tiny transactions to begin with. This effectively means that it becomes hard to charge less than a dollar, and nearly impossible to charge less than $0.50.

The only true way around this is a token model. You make a large payment, but you use it for proprietary tokens that you can then "shop" around with for goods that you normally couldn't pay $0.50 for otherwise.

But it's not a very popular model. I imagine the issue comes from the fact that many consumers will simply buy 1-2 key things and then never come back. So in comes a subscription model, where they can use those 1-2 key things to cover the cost of the other 90 niche items. It may even create a new cult following out of some niche if there's no additional resistance to consuming a niche item.
That sounds great and much more like the concept that a university should be than what we have in Germany. I couldn't deviate from my courses in the slightest way, even when they didn't make any sense: mathematical logic held by a linguist because no one else was available. Wanted to take statistics, which would be highly relevant, instead? Well, you can't.
I personally don't consider what my direct experience will be, but instead the total sum of the collective experience all users will have. I want to support something everyone benefits from, not myself. Consequently, I don't want to support anything that doesn't trend the community toward my ideals.

As an example, the Mastodon project and mastodon.social are run by a non-profit. They have their own mastodon account which discusses updates, advertises merchandise to support them, and could ask for sponsors or donations if needed. Users can subscribe to their feed if they want, and support them should they need help, while users who don't want advertisements won't be affected. I'm confident in the stability of this model for them so I chose to make my Mastodon account on their instance so I can trust I won't have to transfer to another someday should one shut down.

I'm hoping the digital space evolves in this direction and we approach a post-advertisement economy.

Otherwise, enshittification keeps ruining things and we can't rely on the long-term stability of anything. Just look at Google.

Majority of plumbing work (which also pays well)

Does it? Last time I had major plumbing work done, a guy showed up in a very nice car (he no doubt earned very well) looked at what needed to be done and gave us quote. The two guys who barely spoke English and where on site 8-10 hours a day for a week actually doing the actual work probably earned considerably less.
You really shouldn't have to "switch to a debugger" as if it were a separate tool, but instead have it integrated into your development environment (e.g. "run" or "step into" should both be just key presses, and every "run" automatically runs inside the debugger so that you can pause and inspect program state at any time).
See that's a problem. When you buy a license it should become YOUR OS.
My Father in Law got one recently that has a fan to blow the gasket dry after use, so you don't have to have the door left open. There's a small grill on the top of the door that the air exhausts out of. It's something I'm looking at when mine dies (since it is something like 12 years old, even if it wasn't used for 6 of them).
Can I also claim that taking LSD is a necessity for me to have my well being?

Who decides what is a necessity and what is not? I would say that the harm rate could be a good indicator what a society should tolerate and anything that is less harmful what is tolerated should be legal.
