Pollution is not driven by climate change. It is driven by our industrial processes that includes fossil fuels. It also includes the processes that goes into high-tech materials. We don’t have forever chemicals and microplastics because of climate change.

Desertification has to do with ecosystems degenerating. While there are regions that are desertifying because of changes in percipitation patterns, our industrial scale agriculture and feedlots are depleting the soil in a way that is leading to desertification, even without changes in climate patterns. We kill soil with fertilizers and pesticide. We got rid of beavers, and the way they reroute rivers and watershed to spread out water, making the land less resilient. We pipe water to grow things in areas we probably shouldn’t. The Great Dust Bowl was not a result of climate change.

Ocean acidification is a result of the ocean absorbing more atmospheric CO2 as a consequence of burning fossil fuels. It has affects on the health of marine ecosystems. It is not a consequence of climate change.

I am disappointed any time "modernize" comes up as one of the priorities on a redesign, especially for enterprise products. Most enterprise software does not gain much from looking "modern" and like all fashions the more modern the UI the more quickly it becomes dated.

In extreme cases of very large products whose owners want them to look exceedingly modern it can be like painting the Golden Gate Bridge: by the time they finish implementing the last components and icons, the ones that were implemented at the beginning of the project are already due for an update.

The job security simply isn't worth the maddening repetition.
While you can’t hug them, see if your nearest aquarium has a touch tank experience. Usually they do those with rays/skates but you can also find them with Nurse sharks. Either way, you’ll literally get a feel for their composition.

Hi nestock, sorry for that, we are now facing some issues with the Google Play store, but we are fixing it. :)
It doesn’t. They just assume that the user is looking for the most efficient solution. There are pros and cons though. The delicate crystal cycle uses a very low temperature and will only work with cold water. Some of the faster cycles will only be as fast as claimed if the supplier water is already hot.

Second this. Just bought a Miele dishwasher in our renovation and it’s by far the best dishwasher we’ve owned. Well worth the extra $$$.

Also make sure you check the traps and clean the rotating heads - that was an issue with our older Bosch after a while.

> I've seen this same resistance to deleting code in programmers working in repos that are completely under VCS, and it's flabbergasting

I think a lot of developers only know the basics of git. They can check in changes, they can look at history with git log, and maybe they know how to use git blame.

They often don't know how to filter git history. They often don't know about the git pickaxe, or about exclude patterns, and don't even think to question if you can do something like "git log -G'int.*foo\(' -- ':(exclude)directory'" to search for 'foo' in the git log, excluding some directory.

They know how to "grep" within the existing code tree though, so they know if it's not deleted they can find it again with the right grep. If it's deleted, they might not know how to find it in git history.

I sympathize with this to a degree actually. Code in the git log is invisible to a lot of tooling, so for example it won't show up in autocomplete if your text editor might have otherwise suggested it, it won't show up in your library documentation, etc.

If you truly think the code will be used again, I think it's at least defensible to leave it in the tree so that it comes along for refactors, and ends up being found when it's needed.

For cases like Knight capital, where it's obviously never going to be useful again, it's not defensible of course.

Thing is, people just don't install an OS to begin with - as Torvalds once remarked himself.

You don't see Steam Deck users installing Windows, though they very well could, and I'm sure some would prefer to do so, but the experience in that device isn't bad enough - or bad at all for most - for people to bother, likewise the experience of Windows isn't bad enough for people to bother.

Framework won't suddenly cause a major shift, simply because they just don't sell that many devices. These kinds of things don't happen in a year.
By letting the food “sit,” I save water two different ways: no need to rinse off proteins or sauces, and no need to run the dishwasher with a less-than-full-load (which wastes both water and electricity).

To be honest, since having kids and their being at a certain age, we now run the dishwasher filled to the brim every other day at most, so it’s a moot point. But in all cases, it runs while we’re sleeping and it makes no difference to me if it takes an hour or six.

The only time I’ve ever wished it finished faster is on the occasion of hosting guests and having more than the regular expected daily churn in dining ware. And that doesn’t happen enough to matter.

> > There's not a practical way to test out every scientific fact

> They're documented - pick one that ionterests you and lets go on the reproduction.

In all fairness, I made a straightforward statement and you have assumed I said something else - I did not say any single scientific "fact". This is not the point that I was making (trying to disprove a fact).

> Can we say the same about any "fact" of a religion?

You're getting into the weeds here. If I have a religion that's called AlmostScience that includes a fairy tale that teaches morality but otherwise teaches the history and practices of the scientific method. Is it not a religion? I'm making an equivalence claim and you're attacking details of a strawman religion.

I'd argue nothing is "fully" safe against zero-days - this is the nature of zero-days.

But GOS takes more security precautions than stock Android, so by that metric there is a greater chance it is unaffected by an unreleased zero-day.

But like I said, there really is no way to know. That goes for Android, GOS, and iOS.
Microsoft successfully appealed it.
Thanks. That was my first guess, that it was directional.
I always thought we should make a short of Python for one liners inspired from awk, where the loop over the lines would be implied.

the line, lineno and fields would be predifined, and I guess re, os, shutil, pathlib and sys are pre imported. maybe the whole stdlib acts as if it's preimported, while only being imported lazyly

here it would be something like

```

if re.match(r'[A-Za-z]', line):
fields = line.split()
print(inp.lineno(), fields[1])

```

so

```

cat makefile | pyawk 'if re.match(r"[A-Za-z]", line): print(lineno, fields[1])'

```

I don't see a way out of multiple if statements requiring multiple lines though, otherwise you would have to introduce brackets to Python lol
> If Landis' claim is true, that would upend entirely the Warren commission's findings.

Not so. Three shots were fired according to about 85% of the witnesses. Previously, we had a missing bullet. The bullet Landis found might be that missing bullet, previously explained as having vanished someplace in Dealey Plaza. Oswald may have fired it while his view of the limo was partially obscured by the tree. If it made some slight contact with the tree, it might have caused the small bit of flying debris that nicked one of the spectators, then continuing its flight at a lesser speed, hit Kennedy's back, popped out of his back, and been found by Landis. The other magic bullet the Warren Commission may have figured out pretty accurately. Which bullet was the one found at Parkland? Given all the unanticipated mayhem that day, it could have been either one, but one would not expect that both of two wandering bullets would have been found. Many's the detective who has been baffled by red-headed identical twins.

> Using an IDE [is great, in particular for navigating the codebase]

As a longtime and ongoing Emacs user... I have to agree.

Sure, Emacs Can Do It [tm?], but having to setup the appropriate tag system, and ensuring it's kept up-to-date with the codebase is a pain.

For example, our codebase is embedded C with #ifdefs depending on which target we're building from. This means that a naive, cscope(regex)-like search will get confused about which is the proper definition for the active target... when it even can find a definition (it's shocking how often it fails for no clear reason).

So I turned to RTags, which meant having to generate compile-commands.json, which... I'll stop here. Suffice to say setup wasn't trivial, and for some reason it eventually broke and I never bothered again.

Rinse and repeat for every other language.
> On the other hand, recent advances in non-equilibrium statistical physics have established that there is no a priori relationship between logical and thermodynamic reversibility.[19] It is possible that a physical process is logically reversible but thermodynamically irreversible. It is also possible that a physical process is logically irreversible but thermodynamically reversible. At best, the benefits of implementing a computation with a logically reversible system are nuanced.[20]
Vastly faster, yes, less than an hour ballistic flight time to the opposite point on Earth (and perhaps somewhat less for closer points, though it could be complicated).

Vastly cheaper... it sounds like not an optimal approach energy-wise, so maybe not so easy.

Need for transoceanic air freight - maybe, after the whole infrastructure is in place. If we'll see that, it might take a while - like, not this decade at least :) - to achieve.
I used to like Blackbird for this, but after breaking updates and the Store enough times I’ve learned my lesson. O&O ShutUp10++ is all I used to debloat now, in addition to MassGrave activation. NTLite is the nuclear option if you’re prepared to invest a few hours crafting your “perfect” image.
Re 2: tell that to the company I used to work with. Management heard microservices are good? Then we should have nano services. They mandated that we split things up super small, by functionality, even if there was only one team working on that.

> Linux required almost-daily googling and opening up a terminal to fix or change something. It became maddening eventually.

Really? What kind of things do you have to google for Linux to work these days? The opposite is true for me in Windows, I am not about to relearn how to use the Windows terminal.
They make ones that "store" house tap pressure water and can flush with more force.
> [Windows 10/11] fades into the background

I strongly disagree with this. When I am forced to use windows, I am constantly fighting with it to not be obnoxious. It takes many seconds to do something as simple as bring up an explorer window. I can't count the number of times I have had to dig into menus to disable this or that ad panel or other bloatware. In linux, I occasionally have to figure out how something works and fix it, but there are generally many months between those events, when everything just works and gets out of my way.
There's probably a lot of infrastructure work that would have to be done for that to be practical for a lot of people. I'm lucky that where I live in Australia I can actually do quite a few trips without the car (I would quite like an electric bike with some cargo storage to be able to do more, but I haven't made the fairly big investment yet), but the situation in a lot of places in the US (especially suburbia there) seems like to get a lot of places, walking and cycling can be quite dangerous or inconvenient.

Improving this definitely should be a priority for cities though, on so many points (climate, reducing pollution, improving health from the exercise, reducing car traffic by moving trips to other modes, reducing car noise, etc. etc.)
> I was using "evolution" in the sense of "survival of the fittest"

The people who are reproducing more and passing on genes are "the fittest", by definition.

> there aren't really selections for "fittest" (healthier, stronger, smarter) operating on humans anymore, it's more the opposite.

That's still evolution. Selection may not be working in ways that select for attributes you or I would necessarily choose, but if there are selective factors and the organism is changing, that's evolution baby.

Evolution does not mean "improving", which is subjective anyway.

(I picked up on this because basically this idea that evolution has a direction, or aims, or that you can be somehow more or less evolved, that the human organism is de-evolving etc ... all this is the sort of thinking at the root of eugenics, which has some pretty dark history.

And it's not the definition or the scientific understanding of the idea - a fish that evolves to be blind in the ocean depths is not de-evolving or going backwards. It's evolving subject to the selective pressures it is under)
> I fear what kind of ads Google while shove through if they ever get a dominant market share in desktop OSs

Microsoft already forces ads on Windows users so I guess it'd be something like the current situation.
about 5x more than July 2020 hack, and likely the hacker will get away with it. it's remarkable the complacency by Twitter and Vilikik in the face of this major security breach and loss compared to in 2020. Shows how profitable it is to hack twitter accounts to promote scams. perfect crime. all the hacker needs to do is just secure funds in seed phrase to memory, destroy hard drive and other evidence and get way scott free.
> If it continues for another decade, we can presume no young person today will ever be able to afford a home.

You want to lay blame? 30% of all homes in the last year have been bought by speculators and rental investors.

That’s right… one in three homes were bought by someone who will never live in it, but who has hoarded it in order to ransom it back to the community for more than it’s worth, thereby denying another working-class family the ability to exit the rental market and contributing directly to our housing problem.

No wonder shit is so out of whack here.
Yeah, but it's F/OSS, so anyone can fork it

Yeah, I've been using all kinds of browsers (Chrome, Brave, Edge, now Firefox) on Windows old and new (now on 11), never had any real issues. I don't even remember nudges to use Edge, to be honest, may be there was one after an OS update. Edge is actually really good now, with tight Bing chat integration, but the last dev version has been sluggish on occasion.

Maybe eggs? I used to have a smell problem with our dishes off and on, and I think it might been correlated with raw eggs being on something in the load. My wife always claimed not to be able to smell the problem though.
Honestly you can view idiocracy as an argument for eugenics... not that I particularly do, but a friend watched it for the first time recently and thought that was what it was.

I prefer to treat it as an observation about the direction of culture and a as a comic dystopia. And just a damn good laugh. Though there are definitely moments when I read the news and think "Damn, it really was a prophecy..."
Not so simple.
The company was then used as a building block to to create another entity, which was then acquired for over a billion dollars.

The airline industry has a low profit margin of only 1.2%. Apparently in the US the average across industries is 7%. I’m not convinced that the problems with air travel is about people being greedy or two little competition and isn’t systematic in some way that’s harder to pin down. Or maybe it just comes from the fact that when I choose a flight I almost always choose the cheapest without much consideration of comfort
Got to do it now!!, then.
I can understand that argument for small, standalone functions. Where it really gets at me is when people insist on leaving whole use cases or subsystems in place, which seems to be what happened here.

You don't want these to be visible to autocomplete, because they're outdated and would need major modification to be correct again. If you do need to resurrect them, they're trivial to find in the git history—just search for the commit named "remove foo"—and they should pass through code review as if they were brand new code, because a lot of stuff will have changed around them in the intervening time.

The high efficiency toilets use less water but higher pressure which means they still work quite well. Apparently they still make toilets which use the old design but still use less water. They have to be flushed a few times though. I assume they are significantly cheaper because why else would an ex-landlord have installed that in my apartment back when I was renting?
Part of it is the time dimension.

Electricity infrastructure used to be defined by the factories that run from (say) 9AM to 5PM. The grid has to be sized mostly for their needs, and baseload power (fossil, atomic, hydro) are sized for it, This is slow and costly to spin up and down. You see this reflected in things like utility "time of use" plans, where they offer you dirt-cheap energy at 2AM if you're willing to pay a penalty at 3PM. They'd love for you to sop up the glut by running a Bitcoin miner or chilling your house to 15C overnight.

Renewables move on a dime by comparison. If we need n GW of power at the peak time of 5PM, depending on the yield factors of local solar/wind/tidal/etc, we may end up with an infrastructure that generates 3n or 5n at other times of day. A lot of thinking has gone to batteries/molten salt/pumped hydro as ways we can store that surplus for later needs, but we can also direct the glut into processes that are energy-intensive and only economically viable in a power-too-cheap-to-meter scenario.

The CO2 scrubbers could be a viable sink for that excess power once we've got enough grid-scale storage.
Yup, that’s the one that gets you fired.
They have not, this is false.
> Possibly ideally with some washing machine cleaner though I don't use that often.

For the record, those cleaners are usually pure sodium percarbonate (commercially sold as Oxiclean/Napisan). When combined with a hot cyle (60 degrees Celsius or higher) it does a good job sterilising your washing machine.
>But don't put two pods in, i.e. one in the detergent tray, and another detergent pod into the tub because these pods are very concentrated and harsh and will damage plates. Only add a little extra powder

This is a strange optimization choice. I'd much rather replace plates slightly more often vs. spend time each night handwashing or rinsing dishes. My philosophy is to put everything in the dishwasher regardless of 'diswasher safe'. If it breaks, I replace it with some other dish/cup brand. In a short time you are left with durable cook and glassware that the dishwasher can clean by itself.
We need leaders with a vision of the future and with bright minds and ideas. Not someone that forgets where they are, and what they were saying. Yes we definitely need age limits. 65 should be the limit.
