It certainly markets itself as a completely different language, though you'd probably expect that.

On one hand I'm almost positive that someone who's made the transition from PHP to Hack would point out that it's way more cumbersome to switch than you're making it out to be but on the other I have no personal experience with it and I would assume that set is small enough where we might have issues finding one to inform us here.

> The Cretaceous period was over ten degrees warmer than our current period [3,4,5]. It supported a lot (though much different) biodiversity.

Humans don’t evolve very fast, it’s going to be very very uncomfortable to be part of that “much different” biodiversity and kill a lot of people
Pizza vending machine are a thing, there’s a few here and there in France
Riyadh is above 40C from May to October, and above 45C for July & August. Every year.

Maximum official shade temperatures are close to 49C for days, up to a week or two. Hotter on the street. It's at some elevation, so it will never win the record high.

I used to walk 2k to work, and back, each day, then run 5k on the evening, when it would often be 43C at 7pm.
It's way, WAY past time to remove police and prosecutorial immunity.

Right, so don't swallow it?

Or perhaps do swallow it?
I thought it would be clear from context that I meant "nobody who seriously works on this problem" rather than "no internet randos". People on social media believe all kinds of dumb things.

So does that mean that GCP itself is on the chopping block? I seem to remember a similar discussion regarding its future was in the air about 2-3 years ago.
> Nuclear is more expensive at scale than battery backed renewables

How much storage you putting there? Because unless it's an hour then nuclear will be cheaper.

The 90% of the cost of 100% solar and wind comes from needing to store up to several weeks worth of electricity.

Also, the vast majority of the cost of nuclear comes from overregulation. Plants were 6x cheaper 40 years ago even adjusting for inflation. And we know how safe those are (safe enough to kill less people per kwh than solar and wind back in 2010!). People/politicians simply seem to calculate a death due to radiation as worth $2 billion to prevent, while a death from lung cancer isn't even worth $1 million (numbers very approximate).
BS title claims is a signal you don't have any intellectual contribution to make, and probably shouldn't be allowed near a codebase with those black and white "opinions".
There’s an annoying tendency among YouTubers to string what is usually a 10-second explanation into 5+ minute long videos with unnecessary gimmicks, putting the meat at the very end.

TL;DW on stereopsis: 0) Both eyes are required for depth perception; 1) When drivers quickly check their left and right, the extremes are covered only by a single eye; 2) With neither depth perception nor secondary clues (like distance between the headlights in case of a car), the speed of an object coming directly at you is impossible to assess.
> I sold all my Magic cards in college - I really wish I would have kept those.

It could be worse! I started playing in Dec 1993 when 2nd (Unlimited) and Arabian Nights came out, but sold all my best cards by the late 90s.

As a teenager I was pretty happy with the profit. It was probably a grand or two if I recall correctly, from selling my mint unlimited Lotus, multiple moxes, 40 dual lands, 4 Juzam Djinn, Time Walk, Chaos Orb, etc...
You'll hate CG-NAT even more then.
It was criminal, wasn't it. The Impossible Project deserve kudos for reviving things but having to reinvent it from scratch has proven to be actually impossible.

As for One Instant film, sheesh, a labour of love. Mine are stashed away along with the last of my peel-apart, I should just use them all.

At this confluence of money-time-effort, I hope we would recognize a black hole when we encounter it on earth and find a better way, but it apparently requires EVEN MORE money to fix, thanks to the destruction.

They haven’t understood trust as a selling point for at least a decade. At the end of the day Google is an ad company that dabbles in technology, all of their core services (Search, Gmail, YouTube, Android, Chrome) are all about reinforcing/showing off their advertising network and any possible benefit consumers derive from that are secondary to selling/displaying ads.

There was rather a lot of competition between Minitel and the UK's Prestel, with Prestel having an initial four-year head start.

The competition was so great that when the Brits rocked up at a French trade show in the early 80s, the French organisers pulled the power to their stand, or that's how the story goes..

In any case, sadly Prestel wasn't quite as successful as Minitel in the end. Perhaps the UK concentrated more on getting out Micros like the BBC and promoting computer literacy instead.

> The number of times I've used look-around or even back-references can be counted on one hand.

I'm shocked. What do you most commonly use regexes for? For me, I type them in my text editor find/replace more frequently than anything, and use backreferences there on a pretty regular basis.
"I wouldn't underestimate how... having one company as both your registrar and cloud service provider can impact the choice of which otherwise commodity service to use." THIS. Even if I'm just spinning up a simple blog, unless I'm buying a premium domain name, I'm gonna buy it on Bluehost instead of a cheaper registrar like Namecheap just to avoid the few minutes of work and few hours of wait time to link that domain with another hosting service.

Not "this" story. Everything above has happened on several projects. The cat thing comes up because it is tricky to expand two macros next to each other without whitespace. So if you do:

define(`foo',`hello')
define(`bar',`world')
foo bar
foobar

You will get:

hello world
foobar

Working around this gets tricky, so someone inevitably ends up writing a cat-like macro such that you can do

cat(foo,bar)

To get

helloworld.

A side effect of this is that now "cat" is really "cat()" which expands to "". You can work around this by doing `cat'. However, if `cat' is used as an argument to another macro (such as a for loop), the quotation only prevents escaping the first time. When the for macro is expanded, the quotation marks are stripped, giving you just "cat", which gets expanded again. A correctly written for macro would add new quotes as needed, but I have never seen someone correctly write such a macro without just copying it.

Not sure if I have seen this interaction specifically with for and cat, but I have seen an interaction like it on almost every project that used m4.

As someone said in a another comment:

"There is the heat being removed plus some heat from the compressor and fan."
Storage is the unsolved problem.

I advise you sit down and do the modelling, the data on electricity storage costs (consider kw, kwh, cycles reaction times and annual maintenance please) and wind and solar production variation is available.

IIRC worst case projections of HALYs lost due to climate change is under 10BY
I’d wager pretty often.

Here’s what’s likely to happen: you’ve got this big grand exciting idea that you just can’t express to everyone in words. The thoughts are there, but they just don’t come out into words how you want them to. People don’t get it.

But you need to share it with the world. You need to. So you produce something about your grand idea that you think is cohesive. Something to teach people!

Except it doesn’t. It’s equivalent to a mess of paper, handwritten notes and impossible to follow logic, presented terribly. And it’s likely long. Too long.

And so… nobody cares. Nobody reads it. But your grand idea is there! Don’t write programs, write logic! Duh! Why can’t people understand that? Why can’t they see?

So obviously those people who don’t get it have foggy brains. But your thoughts are clear as possible. You’re elevated. They don’t get it because they cant.

This superiority complex impacts your relationships, and you grow more introverted, isolate yourself more etc. This fuels itself into a nasty cycle.

You don’t have a grand idea and you’re not in a higher plane of existence. Coming to terms with that is going to suck, but it’s important to do so.

Honestly, really do take a moment to breathe and step back. And it’s ok. This all happens surprisingly often in our field, and you sound like a cookie cutter case. My email is in my profile, reach out if you need.

Good luck.
Latest trend is "warming (which is normal) is increasing co2, but the other way around". From the same people who think co2 levels are too low to be significant and that water vapor is more problematic.
I am not sure crashing the economy is a viable solution.

I say this because what I learned so far is that is people will start being cold and hungry then they will focus on immediate needs and that will make sure that no money will be spent on solving climate change. This is a natural instinct: you cannot think about the future if your current situation is suffering.
I think they were trying to modify their 9600 to think it was a 9800.

SimpleFOC is one of the best things I learnt after graduation! So many projects can make use of the features, hardware & software both.

It’s quite the stretch to call this a game engine, rather than a tech demo for clever locking strategies.
I think there are solutions, question is when these will be implemented. I'm referring to planting more trees to cool down cities so that avg temp will decrease, routing rivers/water through city to increase even more the cooling effect (like city of Bishkek)
Hmm, no, still don’t believe it. That’s just absurd. I just refuse to believe that they systematically demoted women / promoted men to try and obfuscate pay differences at original levels.

This idea is surely much more expensive to implement than just paying the women more. It’s also fairly easily discovered by an audit of any competence or whistleblower. And the women would surely have a strong negative reaction to this which is an operational risk of them just leaving.

What you are proposing happened is illegal discrimination to begin with, but it’s also really difficult to do. Seems more likely a willing company would prefer to simply lie
Company wide things were being leaked at G within hours of announcement nearly a decade ago. :( Anyone who didn’t expect it just really wasn’t paying attention. Not that it excuses it, but c’mon.
The species is not doomed because it is not dependent on people using the word "kibibyte." Nor is plate tectonics threatened by nomenclature.
> I'm fairly sure that living standards will be lowered by floods

No, it won't as badly.

Doomerism is not a valid rational point of view.

Most of all, floods would happen anyway, so you'll have floods + lower standards of living, including much worse emergency services.

we are not at the brink of extinction and people lived and prospered in almost unhabitable lands long before we had the technology to regulate the temperature.

like for example Northern United Kingdom.

But are also living today in the middle of deserts, with no AC.

Of course we should cut on emissions werever it is possible, worst offenders being fossil fuels.

Edit: on a side note the reason why your proposal will never work is because cutting on emissions is actually easy. For example let's stop keeping pets at home. Pets that usually eat a lot of red meat. It is feasible, won't lower living standards and won't cost much to society. Now convince people that their cat eats more meat in a year than a Chinese average person and that's not sustainable.
Founder run companies care and even hand picked successors to founders who are “company men”. The Google CEO is just a suit.

If you look at all of the Big Tech companies - Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Google, (yes I left off Netflix, it’s a nothingburger compared to those five), Google is the only one that seems to be rudderless without a long term plan or vision.
I don't think the op said stop using oil for productive uses. I assume they'd be against any large electric car too. People in rich/not poor nations use too many resources and I'd say even the vast majority aren't actually for building homes or producing food or contributing to making those things efficient/safe/redundant.

Which is still somewhat maintained by folks from Internet Archive because it's used by Open Library. I'm not entirely sure what the benefit is to using that library but it sure is a PITA to Google about with a name like that.
I'm not disagreeing with your conclusions...

>And yet it is the largest economy that is objectively slowing its share of contributed emissions.

These largest economy's also contributed the most over their history, which seems reasonable grounds for contributing more and helping other economies come up to that standard of living w/o making the same contributions
Wait what? An AC does not simply turn hot air into cold air. It "moves energy" from one place to another.

Indeed it would be nice to power the AC with solar power, but how does this help the city to cool down? You would cool down the houses, but the heat from the houses would remain in the city, it would even get hotter.
Because sometimes it’s more convenient to point to someone else’s nameservers (I commented elsewhere in this thread about our AWS setup), and some people don’t want to give a single company control over their entire domain-to-web-server pipeline, though like I said I’ve never seen how that matters in practice.
All those people who complain about project names squatting on existing words have finally been heard :-D
Switching to biking and paying for renewable electricity is quite practical in many parts of the world, so I think your “concern” that this isn’t doable while remaining on the internet isn’t productive.
Ideas about Amazon Parsing
Hello everyone!
I'm proficient in web scraping and have experience working with e-commerce websites.
I can create a service for parsing product data, like Amazon or eBay, for example.
Could you please help me with a startup idea? What will be attractive to customers in data from product pages?
Price monitoring and comparison? Collect product attributes? Searching for specific (rare) items? Please what other ideas are there?
I'll happily try anything simpler than that if you give me an idea what that might be.

Not trying to be salty or anything – I really think Compose hits the sweet spot of abstraction which is less complex than both the monstrosities I listed and the ad hoc Bash scripts copying code over SSH and restarting services approach (so, the other extremity of declarative v. imperative).
this is a big one. there is a surgery i'll need within 10 years that i can't access in north america. i could definitely give up flight for play, probably for work, not for health
If I were designing it I’d probably have a result field too, or even a success boolean. But I don’t hate what they’re doing here: the presence of the key is the Boolean value, the value is the description. A two for one.
Nothing, they just get randomized ads based on those topics in response.

Does BI not have anyone on staff familiar with statistics? The map with “minimum salaries” seems to just prove that a more populated office location will contain a broader range and more extreme outliers of self-reported salaries. A previous article on this topic claimed that Software Engineer had the highest max salary but there are probably just more people with that title at the company than any other title.
That’s not underpaid. To be underpaid normally means one received less than was agreed upon. That scenario is offering a discount, maybe.

If it is true that women are likely to offer discounts, it questions why for-profit companies hire men at all? Meanwhile we worry about companies not being willing to hire women, not men.
Don't know about op's point, but seeing those kinds of graphs makes you really think twice about the hypothesis that stopping any kind of human activity will have any effect on a phenomenon that's been naturally occuring for hundreds of millions of years, on one order of magnitude greater than what we're observing (talking about degrees variation, not taking speed into account).
Those don't work. The sacrifice must have zero utility.

It's unequivocally clear to a woman and to all other women who she shows the ring too that the ring was 100 percent a tribute to her and only to her and only for that purpose.

Like peacocking the peacocks feather has zero utility. It is purely a mating ritual.
A car or a house is not as clear because it has shared utility.
You are right, the changes are small and usually hard to see directly.

But we also have to remember that warming is not uniform across the planet, where I live the Berkeley Earth site [1] shows an average 2.5 C warming since the 1850s.

It is especially visible if your regular winter temperatures go below 0 C, but not much. Even 1-2 C warming may be seen as a much smaller snow coverage than before.

If it's just for your family, then depending on what you need, you could try OnlyOffice— Either self-hosted, or SAAS. They use MS formats as their first-class native format, IIRC, so compatibility is pretty great.

Nextcloud also advertises an office suite, though I haven't tried it. Nextcloud also apparently integrates with OnlyOffice, though I haven't tried that either— Apparently Nextcloud's own office suite is a rebranding of LibreOffice.

I'd probably go with OnlyOffice, either on its own or integrated into Nextcloud.

Yes yes the solution here is to physically move hundreds or thousands of years of capital investment, especially forms of capital investment that cannot be moved and are just abandoned/destroyed.

That way we can emit a bunch more to rebuild that already-built infrastructure in a different locale!
What a great coincidence: today Youtube recommended me to watch The Problem with Jon Steward: The World is ending ... So Recyle?

I strongly recommend it to watch and then think about what solutions we can have.
I know that story too well.
Finally, I thought that if I have to code, I should just use a programming language.

Now, I use nodeJS to replace every m4 file with mustache.js and some JS logic and I don't feel limited anymore. The complexity doesn't increase much.
