- "The image is even more special considering that the Euclid team was given a scare when they first switched the instrument on: they picked up an unexpected pattern of light contaminating the images. Follow-up investigations indicated that some sunlight was creeping into the spacecraft, probably through a tiny gap; by turning Euclid the team realised that this light is only detected at specific orientations, so by avoiding certain angles VIS will be able to fulfil its mission."
Certainly not after the vote. The is a violation of democracy.

But it they didn't have to propose it. And they didn't have to advertise it.

If we had emitted 37 billion metric tons of CO2 a year each year for the last 400 years that would be a total of about 1.48 x 10^19 grams of CO2. That's more than we now have in the atmosphere so this gives us a convenient upper limit.

12/44th of the mass of CO2 is from carbon, so that is 4 x 10^18 g of carbon to deal with if we wanted to store all the carbon current in atmospheric CO2.

The density of carbon depends on what form it is in--diamond is a lot denser than graphite, which is a lot denser than carbon powder. Let's store it as graphite, which has a density of 2.2 g/cm^3.

We'd need 1.8 x 10^18 cm^3 for that much powdered carbon, or 1.8 x 10^12 m^3, or 1800 km^3.

But remember that we are getting all this carbon we need to deal with using energy from massive solar farms. Put the solar panels a few meters off the ground, and dump the graphite under the solar panels. If the graphite was dumped into a pile 1 m tall it would need 1800 km^2 of area.

That would be just a tiny fraction of the area available under the amount of panels we'd have to be using to capture that much carbon. Spread evenly under all the panels it would be less than a millimeter.

You’re right, I shouldn’t have specified “financial.”
There likely was a great deal of this at some point before 2015, but in 2015 BC finally started tracking who was buying homes and brought in a foreign buyer tax and since there there's been only ever more scrutiny on foreign buying, and from everything I've read foreign buying has fallen off a cliff.

Because there was no data tracked before 2015, whether or not there was indeed a significant amount of foreign buying remains speculation and theory but there are some signs that support the notion that it was important.

For example major luxury condo builder Westbank has significantly reduced their operations in Vancouver, pivoting away from super luxury homes explicitly marketed as pied-a-terres and in the pages of Monocle magazine and are now building increasingly in the USA and even Japan. Some of their projects in Vancouver changed from being condos to rental. That this all happened post foreign buyer tax suggests that foreign buyers were a critical part of their business plan and they needed to remarkably change it after foreign buyers went away.
> That seems like insufficient magic for the respect that transducers seem to have.

This is 100% correct. It's amazing how over hyped they are.

If you have ever used C#'s LINQ you are using transducers. The fact that LINQ works item at a time instead of collection at a time is all that's being discussed. That if you say take the first two in a 1,000,000 long collection LINQ will only enumerate the first 2 items and not all 1,000,000 is the other behavior. And the way to do this is by composing operations using a "." operator into a "query" to run.

C# had had this since 2007. It doesn't require a fancy name, it doesn't require streams, it doesn't require "thought pieces" every few months for over a decade for people to "master thinking in linq". Just sequence your operations and get back to coding.

And Clojure is a really great language, but the amount of mental space occupied by transducers is a bad look for the language. Via analogy it's like watching people be amazed by for loops for over a decade. And I know they're are a lot of really smart people in the clojure community, so I honestly put it on Rich. Either on hyping or up so much when he released it like he just invented sliced bread and it's a deep advanced topic, or for how it's presented in the language that people have to understand so much beneath the abstraction layer to use it correctly.

Your average blub enterprise programmer has been using LINQ for 15 years and never needed 100 thought pieces in how to use it and reason about it. Yes it's a monad, yes it let's your short circuit, yes it's item at a time, but a user doesn't need to know lots of detail to use it. It's like watching a language community that can do calculus be continuously hypong on the fact it can do long division.

Clojure is an amazing language, transducers are not that special, figure out why they are so hyped in clojure.

Or maybe I have it backwards and linq/transducers really are partial differential equations and C# snuck it into the 4th grade curriculum and nobody noticed.
If there hasn't been a study of the negative effect of inviting crypto miners to use cheap energy I'm not surprised. It would probably show a huge negative effect and Texas isn't interested in disagreements with its power policy. They have carefully shielded ERCOT from having to show transparency. Industry and crypto mining are paid to reduce power usage during ERCOT-declared emergencies but ordinary user are not.

Software maintenance shouldn't exist. Instead of fighting the source code to map the current trendy environment, we should compile our programs to easily interpretable formats that does not contain any environment specific code and therefore only contain logic specific to the given software.

So instead of having a binary that contain some syscall to access a key state, provide it the function on startup (or the key state value directly if programs become stateless functions)

As for the simple format, this is IMO the only way to guarantee accessibility as the alternative is having people constantly working on porting software over preferably with source access.
Most of the SteamDeck games are just running windows games through photon, wine and other compatibility layers.

While that works amazingly well, I tend to prefer games with native Linux and SteamOS builds, even though they're rare.
win32 is the stable ABI for SteamOS, same as any other Linux distro

beautifully made. However I think one's intuition for where the control points go and what they do are very clear if you've ever taken calculus. The line segments control the direction and magnitude of the tangent to the curve at that position. If you understand that, then it makes the motivating problem go away, and all the challenge problems are easy to solve.

It's apparently not that the people actually dislike the bureaucracy. Very few people actually have any real experience with it. If they have negative opinions it's because they read tabloids and are somehow unaware that their personal views have already been fully debunked by the ivory tower.

No.. the reason people _seem_ to dislike it is because the bureaucracy just hasn't produced enough propaganda telling the people they should like it more.

I find this entire article insanely out of touch.
Doesn't your body have a reservoir of your microbiome throughout your body (like in the appendix or whatever)? Is it that far-out that some of the mouth stuff makes it there as well? Keep in mind, these bacteria have probably adapted and co-evolved over our development as a species, they must be fairly hardy and well-positioned

Not qualified to argue with your very logical position here but I feel like it might be a longer-term transition and there might still be hold-outs if its only a one-and-done deal like you've described.

I think that giving a set of options on first install for preferences like browser is a great thing for the EU to enforce personally.
Famine in Africa is an existential risk with or without global warming. Currently 822 million people are estimated to be malnourished. As per the citations above, global warming will provide only a slightly elevated risk of famine relative to present day.

Overpopulation in Africa is a problem to be solved either way. Ameliorating global warming won’t make any meaningful improvement to that.

I agree with everything you said, except for your use of the fuzzy & needlessly derogatory blanket term 'boomer'. Every generation continues to do this because it's deeply embedded in our culture. The culture is the problem.

Landscaping can be done in a way that is fairly neutral with regard to whatever plants show up, unless there is a serious mismatch between desired plants and invasive species (also fuzzy terms). Fighting nature - even unintentionally imported nature - is a never ending, futile war. Minimizing artificial intervention should always be a primary objective and in no way requires broad-brush painting a massive demographic as the enemy.

Is this different than what you feel?
I would say the same logic applies to products/features and influences the design component. You create a product that reaches some local maximum of utility but there's a constant pressure to churn out new features with increasingly small gains in customer utility. Those features need UI elements, items in menu bars, etc etc which results in a bloated UIs full of esoteric features

The blame doesn’t lie just with leaders though. It comes all the way from the bottom. Everyone wants their standard of life to improve, they want conveniences, luxuries, socioeconomic status… and they vote for policies that’ll give them those things. It’s a collective problem at a global scale.

"This doesn't take into account that countries like the US have already cut emissions and emissions have been declining for years."

> You can find some details here https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate-change-indica... I am surprised you didn't know this already.

This being US / 1st world emissions are decreasing? Thank you for looking that up etc., I appreciate it -- I did know that, and seriously, thank you for taking the time to source it: I'm only saying I knew so you can rest assured at least one other person is up on data. These are strange times and it's hard to get a read on if facts are common knowledge or not, and our estimate of that can cause intense feelings.

Putting my comment more simply and extending it so it doesn't feel like I'm passive-aggressively quoting my comment back at you:

I'm curious why we think the per-capita emissions data "isn't accounting for it decreasing"
Transducers are an under-appreciated feature in Clojure. They are incredibly useful, allow for composable and reusable code, and come with really nice performance benefits as well (by not creating intermediate collections).

Once you get used to them, they become a very natural tool — in my case, almost every time I do something to a sequence, I'll start with `into`. Even if I'm just applying a single transformation, this lets me quickly change the resulting collection and easily add more transformations if needed.

On a higher level, I found myself thinking about business logic (model) in terms of transducer pipelines and ended up with a number of reusable transformations, and clearly specified pipeline logic.

One gripe I have with transducers is that writing stateful transducers is hard. As in, well, really hard (hope you remembered to flush using `unreduced` in your single-arity version!). I still write them sometimes, but it's never a walk in the park (it does provide satisfaction when done, though). But I guess that's what you need to go through in order to get good performance.
I also feel "back then" it was quite easy for a enthusiast machine to be quite well past "top of the line" whereas now we've been in the 2-4GB "standard" for so long that most people have it - it's decently hard to have something surprisingly faster than "top of the line".

E.g, I remember "recommended specs" for computer games that would ask for 64 MB of RAM; I had 128 MB.
This is per capita data again, which makes the argument circular. In absolute terms, China emits more than twice as much CO2 as the next producer, and only a small fraction of that is exported.

I used to work at a place where the company car we'd have to drive when visiting the home office was often one of the higher-end Mercedes sedans. (I don't remember which one.) The controls were such a confusing, overdesigned mess. Over the course of 2 or 3 years of regular visits to the office, I don't think anyone on my team was ever able to figure out how to turn off the air conditioning.

We never figured out how to turn off the radio, either, but at least we did figure out how to turn the volume all the way down.
Well, they advertised and proposed it rather than losing votes (quite a predictable party move, Nigel knew that too). I'm pretty sure Cameron believed it would never pass. But it did. That's why he quit afterwards. It was one of those "oh shit" moments.

Not sure about Rust, but in other languages that don't have async: create a queue, spawn a thread with your task, thread with sleep and wait for a message from any of those two. Kill the still running thread when you get the message. Can't say it's incredibly hard (unless it's Javascript or you work in a single-threaded model in general).
Quote: The single-use plastics legislation will address 70 percent of marine litters items, avoiding environmental damage that would otherwise cost €22 billion by 2030.

It may seem weird to you, but we need to develop good regulations to deal with all the negative externalities.

For instance, I think we could have also added a recycling fee per plastic item sold (say 5 cents). This would have made it more economical to sell bigger units and avoid technically unnecessary items such as the tear-off rings on bottles.
I have to admit that using a touchscreen laptop with a decent pen has made my university life a breeze. Ability to whip out a laptop and have all the notes, from all the years, searchable, with drawings just as good as when they were drawn and even better, because I can fix them and annotate them anytime... makes me feel like a terminator machine.

And it is the main reason I am stuck with Windows, despite also enjoying the 'normal' pc experience on linux much more than Windows bloat.
It feels like comparing 60K EU employees with 2M USG employees is apples to oranges. It's entirely possible that the actual equivalents in the USG are less than 60K, and criticisms of EU bureaucracy justified.
"No exotic dependencies and nothing to maintain"

Oh really?:

sed -E 's|(href="$(subst source,,$<))|class="current" \1|' header.html | cat - $< > $@

a sed script that modifies HTML fragments isn't nothing. And this just does one thing that you might want to customize in the header for each page. It doesn't do things like handle pages having different <title> tags. Every feature like this that you come up with becomes another thing to maintain, and another thing that can catch you out later. When you come back to fix this later, will you even remember what it's supposed to do?

From a web publishing point of view, make and sed are exotic dependencies. There's not going to be a bunch of helpful pointers online to help you debug issues with using them for this purpose. When you google how to fix your sed regex to match specific HTML attributes and not match others, you're going to find stack overflow posts about Zalgo, not quick answers.
Honestly i don't really see the problem

Is just a minor adjustments for the industry, isn't like your mom and pop store is making handmade plastic bottles

Really , i fail to see the problem behind just "ahaha, stupid eu regulations"
What the writer is missing is that the local bureaucracy is the EU bureaucracy with extra steps.

Unlike Congress, the European parliament does not enforce it's legislation trough EU agencies, it dumps it to the local agencies working in that particular sphere and lets them figure it out.

Fairly often the particular activities imposed on local agencies get funded trough an Operational Programme. Rather than the EU parliament just allocating the funds for the activities it wants carried out, this involves the local agency writing a grant application for the funds, which is quite a silly bureaucratic exercise.

If it enforces EU law, while being funded by the EU, it's not really member state bureaucracy, is it?

Moreover EU legislation usually imposes a particular process to local administration, so member governments can't streamline or improve EU-related administrative process unless the Commission decides to look the other way. (Which is not common, but not exactly unheard of either.)

They could have also started by making the ~4 web browser suppliers implement this consent dialog (remember Netscape cookie dialogs everybody hated 20 years ago?). Then the two W3C/IETF to create a protocol for transmitting consent to the server. Instead of making thousands of companies having to individually spend the money to implement it.

Great for job creation numbers. Crazy mismanaged in all other aspects.
Any solution that draws electricity from the grid is a scam because it's better to shut it down along with the matching amount of power generation.

Any solution that relies on scarce resources like fertile soil, freshwater or agricultural waste is a scam because it has zero impact at this scale and will never grow beyond that.

In theory, there are feasible solutions that would rely e.g on solar energy and seawater, but I'm yet to see one.

If you people "who works seriously on climate solutions" want to be taken seriously outside of your circle, you first need to call out openly and honestly all the scams in your field.

But since they amount to like 95% of it no one dares to disrupt the flow of money. Basically you're like "people seriously working on mortgage derivative solutions" in 2008.
