When I was a teenager, I worked as a janitor at McDonalds as my after-school job, and I cleaned the bathrooms. I walked the lobby all the time and could see who was going in and out, and I can assure you (at least back then) there is no correlation between socio-economic class and bathroom etiquette, or mental illness and bathroom etiquette. We had a feces-smearer who was a middle aged lady visiting the restaurant with her normal-looking middle class family. One other fun fact: The men's room was pretty uniformly (but medium) disgusting, but the women's room was where the variance was. I saw foulness in the women's restroom that haunts me to this day.
Let's turn this into a simple debate. How many people will die per 100K per year per degree above per-industrial levels in your estimation? By what percentage will GDP per capita be impacted by the same metric? Instead of entrenching climate change denier / alarmist tribes, let's just discuss models.
I have a Polaroid-branded Zink printer from around 2008 and a Polaroid-branded Zink printer from more recent years and the quality has always been rubbish. BUT, I still bought a Brother Zink-on-a-roll printer that I use to print out small pictures as stickers to stick into my journal as a photo diary.

Ultra-niche use, of course, but there you go, there's nothing as zero-config as this thing.
What's even better is that net zero isn't doing anything for _already emitted carbon_, or the already accumulated heat energy. We can get to net zero and average temperature is still going to keep rising.

The second sentence of the article says "voluntarily submitted". Nobody was forced to reveal anything.
Anyone know if Hover is any good, a friend recommended them?
Some people treat http as a pure transport/network layer and the actual body as the app-level layer.

In such an approach, any http-level error would be a network, server maintenance or other unknown/fatal error type of things.

App errors are encoded in the response body in a app-defined way.

It's not a completely bogus way of handling things, as long as it is perfectly consistent throughout the project and properly documented, which is rarely the case.
Really interesting and actionable, thanks for the information and for the example code!

I don't have any web development expertise, and it's not where my interests lie, so I've been following a "google it and move on as quickly as possible" approach. That said, since I'm now making web tools, I do have an intellectual responsibility to learn the platform. I reached for jQuery just because I had a vague sense that it was a "web development thing", and didn't bother to learn the fundamentals of what exactly it was bridging, and whether those bridges were still relevant in today's browser landscape. I appreciate the callout, and will use it as an opportunity to learn more about the web platform.

Like you realised, I thought JavaScript was appropriate because I wanted to ensure that the user wouldn't be navigated to a new page when they submitted the form. I appreciate the quite tidy approach you've shared that achieves this when JS is available, and still does something reasonable when it's not!

Yes but there are excess renewables available, in many places at many times. So it's already the case that it makes sense to power something like this, in many places at many times.

SRE isn't a technical role. I mean, unfortunately we Ops folk are commonly given way too many responsibilities, so it's common to be technical. But if you read the SRE books, it's actually describing business management processes, product ownership, project management, NOC, monitoring, incident management, etc. Nowhere does it say "to be a good SRE you need to know how to use tcpdump".

In addition, Operations is much more of a traditional trade than a technical skillset. You can't read a book about being an electrician and then expect to do a good job wiring up a 100 amp panel and not killing somebody. You have to be an apprentice first, then after a few years a journeyman, and after a decade or more a master. Until you work under someone and have years of experience, you're not going to be very good.

This LinkedIn curriculum is just one example of many companies that misunderstand and underappreciate the true nature and purpose of the role, and make a sad attempt to cut corners by hoping they can turn a total newbie into a journeyman by learning some Linux commands. Doesn't work that way. (But thanks, LinkedIn, for telling me that I don't want to work there)
Yes, but I you cut and store the wood at maturity you could plant fresh trees instead. The point is, trees are an entirely inadequate solution to climate change, at least on the CO2 front.
Reporting is entirely voluntary, so there are no concerns around that as far as the original collections go. No one is forced to report anything.

The person leaking it is acting unethically though. It has no whistleblower value of any kind, and betrays those who filled it out thinking it would be internal only.
One thing trees/plant help with (instead of concrete/asphalt in cities) is with the added impact of evapotranspiration (besides providing shade).
It's (fortunately) not quite that bad for everyone in America, but that's more because most employers still feel themselves to be bound by the law, at least to some extent, than it is because most employees have meaningful recourse if they're told to break it. The situation is changing with the new wave of unionization here, but the 40 years since Reagan shattered the union movement have not been good ones for us.

> My overarching point is: if you start to consider that the system is bad, how do you stop everyone else from doing the exact same thing, breaking laws to live? Where do you draw the line?

I think that there is a meaningful distinction between "I choose to break the law to survive" and "I choose not to refuse an order to break the law, because to do so risks losing the ability to survive." That said, I think that there's an argument to be made that a society where the laws are used to punish the poor for trying to do the bare minimum to survive is a society that throws all law into contempt.

> I guess that means that JavaScript is McDonald's?

My first reaction to this was that it's actually very accurate insofar that I genuinely wonder how one can like either of these and why they're so popular. At least JavaScript has the obvious excuse that it's the only thing that runs in a browser, so it's still more logical than the popularity of McDonald's.

This quote suggests to me it’s more a cocktail than a single compound:

With Sentia I just wanted to prove that it’s possible to come up with a functional alternative to alcohol using botanicals, to establish the principle and get a conversation going, because really people haven’t thought the concept was viable or practicable, and likely haven’t heard of GABA either,” says Nutt.

Indeed, Sentia is just the first step in his objective to provide an ethanol-free, more controlled route to the pleasant feeling of tipsiness without all the grim downsides. He’s currently working to isolate and manufacture up to 13 molecules — with historical safety records — that, his research shows, interact with the right brain receptors to give that chilled feeling but with none of the toxic messiness that so often follows achieving that using alcohol.

we broke 90 GW for the first time, compared to 85ish last year. much of that has come from industry growth. in an ideal world there's a straightforward solution: ban industrialized crypto mining, and require miners, heavy manufacturers, and refiners using a certain amount of power to generate a majority of their base load in-house _and pay their full share of transmission infrastructure costs_ (transmission issues being a factor in the emergency alert that went out this past weds)

> If employees can be forced into a corner and forced to act illegally or immorally by their employer, then you create a situation where employers that abuse their employees the most can out compete competitors that treat their employees well. Ultimately you just end up with a country of abusive employers, and disempowered abused employees.

That's not an "if." You just described much of today's America.
But note that more brushing != more smooching.
I remember reading about dream workplace called Google where devs can join or leave any team for credits to count towards promotions, with a catch that helping others and/or bothering yourself with low-impact maintenance tasks could risk your employment.

If that's actually how Google works, it does sound structural.
Not sure if anyone actually uses it, but I would approach the problem with find, comm, and a sprinkle of sed:

comm -23 <(find build -type f -iname "*.html" -printf "%P\n" | sed 's/\.html$//' | sort) \
<(find source -type f -iname "*.md" -printf "%P\n" | sed 's/\.md$//' | sort)

The find commands get you a list of all the files (and only files - directories will have to be removed in a separate step) in each of the build and source folder, sed chops off the extension, while comm -23 compares them, printing only the files unique to the build folder, which you can then deal with as you see fit (e.g., by feeding them to xargs rm).
I can only assume you don’t actually want your question answered. Because if you did want an answer you could have asked an ai or searched as there is plenty written on the topic.

I see this pattern all over the place. Often with conservatives. Asking a reasonable question that puts the fundamental concept in doubt. But never actually wanting to know the answer because a simple search would have revealed lots of thorough and existing discussions answering the question.
Often people take what’s offered, whether it is a fair deal or not. Everybody isn’t out there negotiating their best possible rate all the time. Corporations have long taken advantage of whomever they can to earn a buck - it’s a time honored “tradition”.
> If you argue with someone against any of these particular things, you're not going to get anywhere because disproving even one of these calls into question the world view that all his other beliefs are pinned to.

I don't dispute that there are people like this. What I was disputing, specifically, was the overgeneralization, applying this characterization to everyone: "Nobody is going to be arguing in good faith about it. Probably if you're about to comment on this post, you've got some motivated reasoning behind it that has nothing to do with finding out what really happened."

Even among those who are into a "Shadowy Elite" conspiracy theory, I don't see a lot of emotional investment remaining nowadays in the JFK conspiracy specifically. Of course they're obsessed now with Covid, for example. JFK is old news, not salient.

You must not have trees? The cats in my area don't even need to scale the fence. That's a break glass kind of maneuver for them. One cat in the neighborhood climbs a tree, jumps onto a rooftop, walks along the top of a fence line, jumps to the next house, then uses trees in the new yard.

So again, how does one prevent that? To me, it's really not even worth attempting as it will always be futile. The only thing that has really slowed down the backyard visitors in my yard is by allowing my cats to mark the area as theirs. After a couple of skirmishes, the other cats learn it's not worth it in that area.
Some conspiracy theorists warned people about the design of your political systems but no one seemed to think it's a legitimate concern. Time will tell I suppose.

This has been my only issue with them so far. Realistically it's not likely to cause any problems for either my personal or professional situations since I prefer to use CF DNS. It's simply a missing feature.

If something happens that makes me reconsider their DNS product I'd likely transfer the domains, even if I could change nameservers.

Fastmail is really well set up to be a family account provider. You can add multiple domains, aliases to various accounts, and you can mix and match account levels now (kids accounts can be cheaper ones than your own, but still share your domain). Their spam filter works better than Google or Microsoft's, and I set up aliases that deliver to say, my wife and I, so we can both be notified of updates for particular accounts and such.

If you have any issues, a real person will answer your support ticket.
Sorry I meant nobody who works seriously on climate solutions. There are many people who are in that category and reasonably believe point source capture is a bad / scam idea (which, again, I disagree with this strongly), but it's still clear to those people that we need to get direct air capture of some kind working at some point in time to reverse the trend rather than just mitigate it like we're doing now (though many reasonably believe now isn't the right time, which, again, I disagree with).

Google domains is not a cloud product. Google cloud domains is. The latter is unaffected other than the fact the registrar backing the product is going to change to be square space. I'm not sure if any other major cloud vendor is the registrar backing their equivalent product.
SPARK has not been around since 1983, only Ada has (there was a SPARK83, but it was not around in 83 but rather based on the Ada 83 standard). SPARK got started as a a second layer on top of Ada through comments processed by a separate tool. SPARK 2014 brought SPARK into more of a first-class status with Ada by being built on a capability that Ada 2012 introduced to the language, aspects.

Rust was not developed to fill the same role as SPARK, anyways. SPARK was developed for design-by-contract and general software correctness. SPARK has only recently been extended to support the memory safety proving that Rust was designed for, and that people find particularly useful.
I'd expect that our current temperature measurements are much, much more accurate than in the early 1900s, so while I'd expect them to be tweaked, not by much.

But this whole debate is pretty much a smokescreen. Sure, there are definitely error bars around temperature records of the past and estimates for the future. But one thing I have never seen be in question is the sheer amount of CO2 we have put into the atmosphere: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/... .

The atmosphere now contains 50% more CO2 than pre-industrial times. The oceans are now 30% more acidic. These are gargantuan amounts. Sure, the global climate is incredibly complex, and how the climate reacts in different places in the world (e.g. ocean currents, ice cover, sea levels, temperatures, atmospheric humidity, storm intensity, etc.) is the hard work of some very smart people in climate science. But it's preposterous to me that we think we could raise the main global greenhouse gas by 50% and increase ocean acidity by 30% and not see some major impacts.

So while I think it's important to "worry about the details", only if done in good faith. Nitpicking around whether temperatures have rising 1.1 vs. 1.2 degrees, and using that as "evidence" that global warming isn't a problem or isn't worth doing something about, is what is so ridiculous in the face of avalanches of other data that we are seriously affecting the global climate.

The articles has some nice statements which did not age well:

Or the shocking default setting of DHCP in the TCP/IP setting. As if today 90% of network stacks would work without DHCP and IMHO a Network Admin would never rely on a front end for managing IP addresses.
I am questioning how anyone can decision anything based off any data regarding this topic accurately , including governments or courts. Seems like it is all good faith but no way to validate the results.
In fact, the percentage of people who supply data is fairly low.

I did something similar for mine, I do markdown-to-html using pandoc, then replace the language labels using find (so that prism.js works).

I might move to something make-based like this, looks interesting.
The earth is indeed not in thermal equilibrium due to the speed of the recent CO2 increase, so warming would continue if atmospheric CO2 concentration would be held constant.

However, atmospheric CO2 concentration would not stay constant after emissions stop. It would go down slowly, mainly because it would continue to dissolve into the oceans. This effect cancels out the above point. Which is why the IPCC says that "The global temperature will stabilise when carbon dioxide emissions reach net zero."[1]

Unfortunately, stabilizing temperature does not mean that nothing else changes. The stable higher temperature will still mean that glaciers will continue to melt. Sea levels will continue to rise. Oceans will still acidify further.
