While I believe the link between human activities and global warming have been well-established, I still find the certainty of imminent runaway climate that'll turn the Earth into Venus to be counterproductive. Even if it's true, this message just numbs people.

The fact is that to a certain point the Earth has climate balancing mechanisms that we have little to no understanding about. Why do I say this? Because if it didn't, we would already be Venus. The climate on Earth has ranged from ice to the equator to being much warmer than it is even now. So why hasn't this runaway climate change happened in the last 4 billion years?

Now for a long time the standard retort has been the pace of climate change is different now. Not so. Look at Dansgaard-Oeschger ("D-O") cycles [1]:

> One of the most surprising findings was that the shifts from cold stadials to the warm interstadial intervals occurred in a matter of decades, with air temperatures over Greenland rapidly warming 8 to 15°C

This occurred multiple times over the last 100,000 years.

So rather than focus on this doom and gloom scenario, consider that climate change isgoing to kill a lot of people (through famine, flooding, areas becoming uninhabitable and the upheaval from all the resulting migration). Even then, we as a society constantly make tradeoffs of personal convenience where the cost is people dying. Sometimes a lot of people. Even apart from dying, our society cannot exist as it is without the exploitation of the Global South. We as a society have decided we're fine with people people being paid pennies to work themselves to death in death trap factories to make our lives possible.

It's not surprising that trees seed clouds. You can kind of see this in photos of a jungle canopy (eg [2]). The new part is learning how sophisticated this mechanism is. But I guess it makes sense: clouds reflect light and so it becomes a defense mechanism for trees drying out.

i had the same reaction, it seems like a very weird syntax. but after reading the discussion i get it: you're telling a form field to behave like a normal html element, instead of behaving like a form field. because normal elements grow to fit their content, and form fields not doing that is not normal.

I’m guessing you don’t really write anything meaningful if you are able to just call it a hobby and dismiss it. There are among us people like myself who dedicate large percentages of their lives to working on FOSS. I want nothing to do with government regulations and I suspect neither do my millions of users. How would the governments, who have shown they not only know nothing about cybersecurity, but actively work to undermine it all the time, help me with the security of my projects? Nobody can say, because like all else the government does. It is simply theatre to make well meaning busy bodies think the government cares. Meanwhile corrupt politicians in the government will surely further poison the law by figuring out how to enrich themselves by giving preferable treatment to the worst offenders (as usual). I don’t know why people don’t put in their heuristics hat more often when analyzing these things.

>Every company and every vendor has strengths and weaknesses.

Yes, every company and every vendor does have strengths and weaknesses. That's why it's foolish to lock yourself in to only one vendor.

If you locked yourself in to AWS, for example, you'd benefit from some great AWS services, but be stuck using the awfulness that is Workmail/Workdocs. Or you could lock yourself into MS and get Outlook/Office, but then be stuck using subpar offerings like Azure Functions or be a victim to their lackadaisical attitude towards security. Why would you ever choose to do either of those? Instead, you can choose both Microsoft for Outlook/Office, and AWS for other offerings that they are stronger at. Now you benefit from the strengths of both, while avoiding their weaknesses.

If you _can't_ do that, there might be good reasons and that's fine. But to _intentionally_ not do that, and especially to _brag_ about not doing that is laughable, no "holier than thou" attitude required.
Meanwhile, contenteditable="plaintext-only" has been in Chromium for seven years, and just landed in Safari 17.0, and I still don’t understand why anyone ever thought it sounded like a good idea, given how contenteditable elements aren’t part of form data so it’s unsuitable in the only places I’ve actually seen people suggest its use (and this does actually matter, you can’t just smooth it over with a little JavaScript: it affects things like the browser’s form memory when you navigate history or restart the browser).

(Mind you, contenteditable=plaintext-only does still have one thing going for it: you can have it inline, mid-paragraph with natural wrapping inside it, whereas the closest actual form fields can manage is inline-block, which will break funny.)

MyISAM, much like pre-wiredtiger MongoDB, sits firmly in the "probably don't put anything into this you can't recreate" category for me.

Also remember that filesystems are much better at leaving something consistent behind (maybe consistenly broken, but that's still often better for getting things fixed) even after a nasty crash than they used to be - so while the last time I used MyISAM many many years ago we did absolutely get data loss issues, I wouldn't be surprised if we'd've lucked out if we'd had a 21st century filesystem instead of UFS.

This is the answer. But if they are going to, I would recommend a book called "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" by Martin Kleppmann. It is a book with the most clear communication on this topic and others that I have ever read. Even if you have a degree in CS, I think it is eye-opening to see how very complex ideas can be communicated vs the same ideas in textbooks.

Couldn't you apply that to anything? Why draw the line at 'chemicals' and how do you define that anyway? Or are we only allowed to use elements? Or anything we can find naturally occurring, but not including other things we created by moving naturally occurring things 'from one part of the environment to another'?

Because all of human progress is just building on top of what we've been able to find, then using those things in combination, and those things, and so on until you get to super evil chemical manufacture. Seems like an arbitratry line?

I am sure if Arturia makes a DAW, it would be a great one.

What you pose is just the basis for the question, not a possible answer to it. A null hypothesis must still be a hypothesis, not a subtly vague hedge that doesn't actually posit anything.

It may be that the tools science provides are inadequate for this question in which case the question is ill-posed, but in any case your interpretation of what a hypothesis is, is simply incorrect.

I’ve been into many forms of electronic music and production since the 90s and right now if I was in my youth I might reach again for my guitar.

As others pointed out, generalizing across NYC is quite hard. Some areas - particularly in Brooklyn and Queens - are probably more developed than they used to be.

What I was pointing to this something like this:
https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate-change-indica...

From that article:
> Heavy precipitation does not necessarily mean the total amount of precipitation at a location has increased—just that precipitation is occurring in more intense events. However, changes in the intensity of precipitation, when combined with changes in the interval between precipitation events, can also lead to changes in overall precipitation totals.

In other words, 6 inches of rain fell at JFK over 4 days, that might be manageable for the infrastructure. Not so much if it happens in one day, which is what this articles speaks to.
Plus it kills the demand for real child porn. But people would rather get rid of the ick than stop child rape. Take away the emotional fog, and humans understand this, such as the effort to create fake rhino horns to make poaching uneconomical: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/06/10/fact...

*I don't buy the tortured logic in that article that "such production would create opportunities for laundering real wildlife products as cultured products" - if the fake horn is cheaper to make, that's like laundering blood diamonds as coal, at coal's price point.

"Another concern is that the fake horns could drive up the demand for real horns. The status that came with owning a real horn would increase as fake horns become commonly available to everyone" likewise doesn't make sense. How could one tell something is indeed a real horn, and not a fake? And why do fakes make real horns more desirable than they were before? Does Rolex encourage counterfeits, to raise their own prices? It also talks only of "ownership", when horns are used for medicine, not just status. I get the impression they worked backwards from their conclusion to find this logic.
Except that written Finnish represents, well, written Finnish, which is an artificial standard frozen centuries ago that no one actually speaks outside a few formal contexts. The country has diglossia like, for example, Greece up to the 1970s. When Finns speak, they use puhekieli, spoken Finnish, and there are differing ways to represent spoken Finnish in writing, and different readings for that written representation depending on the person's native dialect.
If you're not distributing your software, then yes, it's fine. It's mainly an issue for companies who license their software to other companies.

Even if you don't distribute your software it's good to be at least aware of your bill-of-materials. If your company decides to pivot and start licensing out the software then you want to be able to flag any issues like this quickly.

> The number of new chemical compounds added into our lives will move to a very slow rate.

Could you elaborate on why this is a problem? It seems to me that there is not inherent right to introduce new chemicals into our lives, and I would prefer this not be done without thorough risk assessment studies.

In the medical industry, introducing a new medicine requires years of testing for something that will be given to a tiny slice of the population. I find it odd that there does not seem to be a similar process for chemicals that could be spread throughout the entire population.

Then why did they fight so hard to keep it secret.
The reduced support costs are that your testing complexity (ie cost) is hugely driven by how many OSes you are supporting. By bundling it with the app, you’re pretending that the Swift runtime is the only thing you have to test when you have to test all the OS integration bits. So by tying the runtime to the OS it’s saying “these are the same” and you only have a single compat flag to select. They do this with C++ runtime as well btw. And I believe the language and the runtime are decoupled from what I read although I haven’t paid attention to swift for a long time (ie you can enable new language features without using a new runtime).

The other support costs it reduces is for Apple because their testing matrix for making runtime releases is drastically reduced. Which means the swift team runs more efficiently.

It’s annoying but for end users it’s even more valuable because apps are smaller (and more longevity for storage) and less memory is used.

TLDR: Apple has always run the languages this way and it works nicely for their ecosystem.
