>>that is unless wages shift.

Wages will have a much harder time heading up unless the federal government implements a moratorium on immigration, both temporary visas (e.g. foreign students) and permanent residence permits. The only way to (equitably?) do this is by turning off the tap going forward and denying/capping new immigration applications.
In the state of Washington, the drive to picking fruit at night is driven by legislation, not temperature. Our migrant workforce from Mexico lives and thrives in much higher temperatures than anything we have in Eastern Washington, but our state legislature has decreed that there are special rules for picking above 89F, and thus, by the ironclad rule of unintended consequences, work stops at 89F and more harvest is now happening at night. -source is having worked in the apple industry and having many friends and relatives still in it.

Nobody thinks direct air capture is a scam. There's already more CO2 in the air than we want. Even after we get to net zero emissions, we'll want to suck some of it back out. It's reasonable to question whether it makes sense to be focusing resources on it right now, when it is not the lowest hanging fruit toward reaching net zero, but personally I think it is, because it takes many years for technologies to mature, so it makes sense to get that flywheel spinning on these technologies now.

I think what you're responding strongly to is capturing emissions from point sources where fossil fuels are being burned. I don't think that's a scam either - I'd characterize it as an unfortunate necessity due to path dependency - but it's a very different thing than direct air capture.
ImageMagick as well! At a big social media company I used to work at [1], they were spending a not-insignificant amount of money (in the millions) to their CDN/caching provider just to have images resized and converted to PNG and WebP. I am pretty sure all this CDN was doing was running the image through ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick and calling it a day, and charging absurd quantities of money to do it.

I feel like New York “style” pizza is, well, not great. Usually it’s over sized making it difficult to eat. The crust is more reminiscent of oiled cardboard.

Most pizza outlets make them factory style and bake them at 10am then reheat your slice or pizza when you order it. Why anyone thinks this is notable and not disappointing is exasperating to me.

There are some good New York pizza place, di fara comes to mind. But the ones like di fara are closer to neapolitan pizza, not New York.
I’ll grant that sequestering CO2 requires land, but water falls from the sky. In terms of value, there’s a lot of economic distortion going on here: technology gets you investor attention, while the unexciting act of buying up land for CO2 sequestration in plant matter won’t get VCs and other investors to hand you money. There’s a profit angle here; that’s the only reason anyone will invest in this stuff.

In a perfect world, from renewables and perhaps nuclear. But we should get to a point where we can use renewables to get rid of coal and natural gas generation, rather than using even more renewables to partially undo the harms of coal generation.

It's great to prototype capture... but the benefit is developing a technology that will mostly only be useful after largely decarbonizing the economy.
Not true. Identifying a tech stack involves more than looking at a couple of headers. Almost all of them leave enough fingerprints in the headers and page source to identify them. The tools for identifying what runs a web site have a lot more sophistication than you think, in the same way Facebook and Google don't need to see my driver's license to know a whole lot about me.
The author is lamenting the decline of ESPN which will make everything worse, and half the ads on the page are for Fubo. Such sweet irony.

The thing is, I’m one of those people who never watched ESPN, yet paid for years for it in a cable package. Now I have some streaming packages I may not watch in a month, but at least I’m not paying $10/month for something I never watch.

The era of monopoly subsidized sports is coming to an end. Perhaps athlete salaries will come back down to Earth as well. They were only so high because the product was sold to so many people who didn’t want to buy it.

It’s the end of a golden era for some, but the end of a rent for me, and hurrah for that. I assume most sports leagues will adjust, rather than price themselves out of business. Or take Saudi money. Either way.

In Canada at least, when you buy a car / ev battery depending on the chemistry you get a coupon that you redeem for a significant amount of money when you take your old replaced battery back to the place you bought the new battery. The vendor will take back any brand/regardless of where you got the old battery from.

There are people who "throw away" the coupon by not returning the old battery, but hey that's on them.

The hottest girlfriend there is being ignored the entire time by the weird dweeb boyfriend who just wants to talk StarCraft.

There is a pecking order of games, and without question the most hardcore players are the gods of Rocket Arena 3, followed closely by anyone who is so good at Counter-Strike that it's impossible to tell if they're cheating. (they are.)
In other games, DLSS2 looks better to me, but the difference is mostly apparent at high scaling factors (like the "performance" preset).

...And I briefly launched Starfield just because it came with my CPU, and to be blunt, it looks hilariously dated, and runs like a pig. Cyberpunk 2077 looks better on my laptop 2060 than Starfield does on my desktop 3090, at about the same framerate on a 4K TV. The resemblance to Oblivion is uncanny.

Don't get me wrong, I love the old BGS games and don't really care about their dated visuals, I'm just saying Starfield is a horrible test for upscaling technology.
> Some people are alright with the fact that they're prototyping their code 10x more slowly than in another language because they enjoy performance optimization and seeing their code run fast, and there's nothing wrong with that.

I look at it a little differently: I'm fine with the fact that I'm prototyping my code 10x more slowly (usually the slowdown factor is nowhere near that bad, though; I'd say sub-2x is more common) than in another language because I enjoy the fact that when my code compiles successfully, I know there are a bunch of classes of bugs my code just cannot have, and this wouldn't be the case if I used the so-called "faster development" language.

I also hate writing tests; in a language like Rust, I can get away with writing far fewer tests than in a language like Python, but have similar confidence about the correctness of the code.

Interestingly, nobody thought about this with AI. Especially considering Isaac was really hinting toward robots with AI, and not robots as we understand them today, in the industrial sense.

This might make sense if there were a single big but scarce global bucket of instantaneously available energy. But that's not how it works. The availability of energy is incredibly skewed across location and time.
It is incredibly profitable to recycle an EV battery, so I’m not sure why the coupon is needed. The owner should get cash or a discount on their new battery.

California currently gets much of its electricity from a 500 mile long intertie to the Pacific Northwest. There are plenty of plausible places to put a big solar farm which are less than that distance from civilization, e.g. Arizona or Nevada. At which point you want any of its output during peak consumption hours to go to decarbonizing the grid, regardless of what you do with the off-peak.

"People" questioning the numbers published by multiple outlets over at least a decade? Who? What data do they have to "conclude that the number is very unreliable?"

Whether PHP runs 77% or 69% of public web sites, how does that offend anyone or make them feel insecure? No one is trying to "prove" anything, there's no race to the one ultimate tech stack that requires winners and losers. You can accept the fact that PHP objectively runs a large majority of public web sites without interpreting that as a threat to your choices, your job, your image of yourself as a professional.

Having so much PHP out there may look like a problem, but programmers attaching their ego and identity to languages and tools and frameworks accounts for a lot more wasted time and crappy code than a popular language that has some obvious and well-known flaws.
Is this like the in vogue political talking point these days or something. You're like the fifth person across a couple different articles that I've seen make this "point" today.
I think part of the problem is "developer productivity" is a poorly-defined term that means different things to different people.

To some, it means getting something minimal working and running as quickly as possible, accepting that there will be bugs, and that a comprehensive test suite will have to be written later to suss them all out.

To others (myself included), it means I don't mind so much if the first running version takes a bit longer, if that means the code is a bit more solid and probably has fewer bugs. And on top of that, I won't have to write anywhere near as many tests, because the type system and compiler will ensure that some kinds of bugs just can't happen (not all, but some!).

And I'm sure it means yet other things to other people!
I don’t understand the appeal of bundling for non-sports content. With video on demand, most people just binge watch stuff, and most streaming services have more than one thing a given subscriber would like to watch.

So, if the price of the bundle is significantly greater than the price of one streaming service, why not just hop from one streaming service to another, one at a time?

Even during peak cable, the number one request from customers was to unbundle channels. I guess they could establish consolidated monopolies that only offer expensive bundles, but BitTorrent still exists, and sufficiently expensive bundles of large amounts of unwanted content will just push people back to piracy.
Technology generally speaking only moves forward. Some technologies will be lost in a civilizational collapse, but the most important ones generally survive.

If another collapse happens, and without oil, people could believably bootstrap straight from electricity + batteries. There'll be endless amounts of quality scrap material and manuals. A lot of critical small scale appliances can be powered by hand-cranked motors.

It’s JS rather than Python, but Google Apps Script is quite useful for this, IME.

I once wrote a small app to add up all shared expenses among a group of roommates and calculate how much each owed the others. It pulled together rent (recurring), various utilities (from my gmail) and one-off shared expenses (e.g. toilet paper) from a Google form/spreadsheet, added in any money owed from the prior month and generated a nice report, in what ended up being 100-200 lines of code after a few years of living together.
No, because energy isn’t fungible and the world isn’t a single country. Using nuclear to do CO2 extraction in the developed world will still help even as China and India continue to use coal.

> Typed Python gives you a type system that's about a good as Rust's

No, it absolutely does not.

Also consider that Python has a type system regardless of whether or not you use typing, and that type system does not change because you've put type annotations on your functions. It does allow you to validate quite a few more things before runtime, of course.
To my knowledge that is unambiguously illegal and I hope they band together to get justice. Were they aware of others in shared circumstances?

A bit of both. I'm trying to say that it's not so cut and dry. Making lithium batteries and thr mining of lithium is a messy business. It's not a panacea. We need to be honest and realistic about the costs of doing that business, and often we arent.

Have you looked into how ineffective planting trees will be when it comes to carbon capture? I don’t remember the exact numbers but some insane number of trees planted and grown would barely make a dent in the average temps. I learned this recently so I just thought I’d mention it.

Not to say planting trees isn’t good in other ways, but we’ll definitely have to come up with more creative ideas for carbon capture and storage if we want to help climate change. Plus we just need to stop it at the source and keep advancing solar and battery tech.

In general, the "onboarding" I have seen for non-trad hires and new grads at several companies has been absolutely non-existent... they pair these newbies with senior devs who either spend a lot of hours per week pairing and mentoring, or they ignore their mentees who then typically flounder.

It's an enormous wasted opportunity. A proper onboarding curriculum has a tremendous return on investment. While perhaps impossible to measure, you can't tell me that it's not easily 10x or something like that.
