EU's total emissions are higher than India's total emissions.

Furthermore, the atmosphere is very good at mixing CO2, so a ton of CO2 has pretty much the same impact no matter who emits it.

Unless you can make a good case that some people have some sort of natural or divine right to live a higher emission lifestyle than other people, allocating emission allowances equally per country makes no sense. Otherwise per capita is the right measure.

If we want to hold emissions at current levels, that works out to around 4.5 tons per person per person per year.

The people of India are at 40% of that, China is at 160% of that, and the EU is at 170% of that. The US is at 340%.

The problem with ZeroMQ is that it is highly opinionated about threading and concurrency in a way that doesn't necessarily mesh well with other components of your application stack that have their own opinions

http://wiki.zeromq.org/blog:multithreading-magic

There's nothing wrong with the opinions presented there -- but it really wants to own your whole threading / serving stack, and isn't really compatible with e.g. a Rust async tokio binary where threads can "move around" etc.
We have a PoC where the runtime is implemented in Python and the Electron and web apps use it through https://pyodide.org/. Still exploring but looks surprisingly viable.

The only caveat is that it's developer-published information that Apple doesn't verify.
There are many reasons for me to not have kitty protocol implemented. Objectively speaking, I try to mention only one here: Sixel seems to have raised attraction across the whole terminal community over the past years and gets stronger adoption over other image protocols. Ah, and a second one: Kitty's image protocol is slow, purely performance-wise speaking. As an end-user that simply wants to cat an image, it probably won't be noticable, and our Sixel implementation isn't the fastest on earth either, but I welcome any contribution to Contour.
Kimai (https://www.kimai.org/) might be what you need. I've been using it since the beginning of this year and it has everything I need for tracking the hours I work, including the fact that it can be self hosted (which is what I did). It can also be used for free as SaaS up to a certain number of users.

I have no connection to the project, I just like it.
"Docs As Code" is a concept in this space. It mostly assumes the use of Markdown & friends. Then it's probably left to the tech writer(s) to (a) automate the aggregation & assembly processes, and (b) make sure that their edits make it back to the code repos.

AFAIK there's not a nice open source solution (or even toolset) for this.
It's the same as all the others. Consider the base rate for all possible reasons a person might not return a call:

- Has been injured or incapacitated

- Didn't see the call

- Didn't receive the call

- He actually did return the call, but you didn't notice or didn't receive it

- Has been swamped by other demands

- Simply forgot

- Lost his phone

- Has become generally depressed or despondent

- Fell out of love with the caller and is avoiding saying so

It doesn't seem likely that the rate for the last reason is high enough to outweigh all of the other possible reasons, and the evidence you have is equal evidence for all possible causes, not evidence specifically that he stopped loving you.

I find it difficult to understand the opposition between Urgent and important, I could understand for example an opposition between difficult and beneficial.

But urgent and important sound somewhat like synonyms. Something urgent must be the most important.
Reading this article and the comments here make me want to journal again. After reading a book on taking smart notes and finally successfully implementing the zettelkasten technique into my daily life, I feel like I've drifted away from the traditional journal method. Where I now utilize a system of index cards to capture dreams, thought out ideas, task list and concepts, I previously held notebooks that I would attempt to write daily on all various types of things. Reading back on these is an amazing to relive and stir up new feelings.

I found that when I wrote and read things back later, I would have trouble remembering them fully. When I was using a "journal" daily, I started to capture a few key details with every entry to help with recall:

1) Current date and exact time (ex. 10/9/23 @ 9:33am)
2) Music / auditory ambiance (ex. X song was playing in background)
3) Where I was while writing (ex. on couch in living room at X house)
4) A trigger memory (ex. travelled back from X destination yesterday)

When I read the entries that include this metadata, it helps me re-live these times and further spark memories around them.

I'm curious if anyone else has key details like this they include with their journaling that help them. I have a mission to start journaling again and would be fitting to add anything else others might be doing.

It depends - what's the purpose of the mailing list? If it's for purely personal or household purposes (e.g. a group of friends/family) then it's out of scope by virtue of Article 2(2)(c). Otherwise it'd likely be in scope with the list admin being the data controller.
Conditional probabilities are what we actually operate with in the real world. They are all independent — in a chain of events, conditioning B on A makes the result independent of A. Like a sales funnel, each step can be multiplied because they are conditional that you got up to thay point!

Yeah, this is the first I've heard of it too. If it's not rotation it's usually left unexplained, and when it's not it's usually something along the lines of an artificial gravity generator that pulls things towards it, like in Star Trek the floors contain "gravity plating" that does that on a small scale.
DPPA and your EULAs might have something to say about this.

What you propose is computationally rather expensive, and on an API level really hard to implement uniformly. And thus the state was born.

Trying to do it without state has been tried plenty of times, and it's bad. (Chef, SaltStack, Ansible, CFengine, Puppet to name a few)

It only works somewhat okay if you're simply writing to a single managed unit, i.e. a file. You know what all the contents of the file have to be, so you can replace it wholesale. This does not work for a graph of resources that interact with each other.

Separately, this also doesn't work with a shared responsibility model and doesn't work with deleted code.

Terraform has a state because that is required to solve the problem in a reasonable manner. It doesn't have state just because it was thought to be a fun exercise ;-) If the problem being solved is not _your_ problem, it is highly likely that using terraform at all is also not going to help you.

> If I lose the state, or it gets corrupt, I'm in for a world of hurt with terraform.

And that's why you secure and version your state. I.e. using S3 and versioning and a restrictive policy.

Practical Pigment Mixing for Digital Painting [video]
I think there's a much simpler way of looking at the issue: When you type a word, it's almost 99.9999999% of the time, in a public space, in sans-serif. Changing your font to look most similar to the way its written makes it more 'iconic' and normalized (remembered) when seen in the wild.

Facebook, Microsoft, Google, all those brands are written in a way that _every_ typeface will render their logo, by default.
Thanks. Agree that that would be great. But I feel that the complexity and the unpredictability of that additional step outweighs its benefits. What if a user doesn't have an Apple watch? I am sure there are workarounds but the fact that that is even a question a user has to ask already reflects some additional complexity.
If increased immersion is a solution looking for a problem then the same could be said for the historical increase of 3D game graphics fidelity in general.

I visited Argentina earlier this year, and the psychological effects of years of inflation were very real. The exchange rate has gone from 5 pesos per USD, to 350 officially in the last 10 years. The unofficial rate is up to almost 900 pesos per USD. In March the unofficial rate was half of that, so the currency has lost 50% of its value in the last 6 months.

Everybody prefers to be paid in dollars, and if you're getting paid in cash, why pay taxes? I had an Argentinian tell me that I could pay ~25% of the list price if I paid in USD instead of credit card, because the unofficial exchange rate and not paying taxes on it would save that much. Money requires trust that you can exchange it for goods and services, which are provided by other members of society, so debasing the money supply like this is killing society in the lovely country of Argentina.
Rather than "bull", I suspect we're already in agreement, given your statement, "At the level of thinking where you’d pull out pen and paper".

We appear to agree there's a place for pen & paper, and we appear to agree that's a different level to coding implementation.

Writing down code, complete with correct syntax, parentheses, indentation, etc, as the article wants, is not in my opinion that level.

At that level, the tooling does not suck.

So yes, I agree, "At the level" where pen & paper shines it should be used.

That level is not writing correct code, unless you can convince me otherwise?

My pet theory is that as brands become bigger (or traditional brands come online), more and more people are involved in the signoff on branding decisions. This creates a pressure to pick the least objectionable option, and so anything with any connotations that aren’t just strictly professional gets stripped.
It likely needs FCC certification because the box could accidentally act as an antenna (or the RPi might be subject to different regulations than the product).

There are also safety concerns, temperature and humidity testing, and so on to consider.
Absolutely.

Rebranding would have helped in sooo many ways, even for the devs that moved forward from .NET Framework.

For starters, it would have at least made search results less confusing and more contextual. There were years of confusion between .NET Framework, .NET Standard, .NET Core, and .NET 5. From a basic SEO perspective, rebranding would have been huge.

It was a huge mistake to not rebrand it entirely.

I'm not sure if avoiding Home Manager is the right choice for everyone, but it worked well for me.

Home Manager isn't necessary for declarative management of the user environment -- Nix flakes can do this, too. A long time ago, I kept a single `flake.nix` in my home directory describing the packages that each of my machines needed, and ran `nix profile install .#packages.<machine>` to install them into my user profile. By doing things this way, I learned a lot about writing flakes, and this transferred to other places I used Nix.

What this doesn't do that Home Manager does is dotfile management, but that's actually why I avoided HM originally. First, HM's approach is a bit clunky for my taste: each change to the configuration must be followed by running `home-manager switch` for the changes to take effect. I found this to slow down the edit-and-test loop when making changes to my shell config, etc. Second, the idea of doing all configuration in the same Nix language is cool, but most of the documentation found online about configuring, etc., `git`, will refer to the tool's usual method of configuration.

So instead, I made a quick Python script that manages package installation with Nix, and dotfile management with GNU Stow. The dotfiles and Nix configuration all go into the same git repository in my home directory, so they are tracked together. I've been using this approach to manage several machines for a few years now, and it's been more than sufficient for my needs.
Stripe Builds Great Docs
For me, it's usually my adhd brain dredging up bad memories. I'm ashamed to admit my go to 'treatment' used to be taking a couple shots of whiskey before bed. That (I think?) caused vivid nightmares which made me avoid going to sleep even more.

Eventually, I realized this wasn't healthy and I switched to doing strenuous exercise. Hard to be wound up when you're exhausted! It's not a cure all. Sometimes I wind up doing so many sets of pushups a night that I feel it the next day, but it's definitely better than nothing.

Yes, but while the increment is 0.1 hours, but that is not the minimum project size/billing, so you can't generally just order six minutes of advice.

Beyond that, just the average documented phenomenon of task switching is 20 minutes or 0.3hrs, so your "only six minute" project really costs the engineer 0.3+0.1+0.3 hours.

But sure, if you are in a long-term project (here defined as more than an hour or two total), you may see line items on your bill of 0.1 or 0.2 hours in a day for a quick call or something.

Are you such a knowledge worker? Could someone actually describe to you a problem worthy of your consideration, give you time to think/calculate, then describe a response in only six minutes? Sure, there might be some such edge cases, but commonly?
I know repair people who charge in 10 minute increments, rounded up, with no minimum.
Doesn't that proposal merely ~halve the amount of mass required?

I'm in an office right now that has a ceiling made out of normal matter (gypsum, fiberglass, steel, and tar, probably a couple thousand kg overhead) and a floor also made out of normal matter (carpet, concrete, iron, silicon, oxygen, and a bunch of other stuff adding up to 6x10^24 kg), which generates artificial gravity at 1g. It happens to be rotating at 1/1440 RPM, but that's only a 0.2% reduction in the acceleration.

Sure, if antimatter caused anti-gravitational forces, you could have achieved the same gravitational acceleration I experience in my office using one 3x10^24 kg sphere of antimatter overhead and one 3x10^24 kg sphere of matter beneath, but that's still not a Starship Enterprise, much less an X-wing, with artificial gravity generators. You're still stuck at:

F = G x m_matter / r^2 + G x m_antimatter / r^2

F = 4 x pi / 3 x G x density x radius_matter + 4 x pi / 3 x G x density x radius_antimatter

with planet-sized masses and radii for both.

And I'm not sure that "hilariously" is a sufficient modifier for the danger level when standing in a 3m gap between planet-sized spheres of matter and antimatter.

I was under the impression that Jobs did nothing for his cancer. He did, in fact, have it surgically removed.

He further underwent several surgeries for various problems after the pancreatic cancer diagnosis.

It's not clear to me that a doctor wouldn't have advised against chemo for the pancreas. Chemo doesn't always get recommended for cancer treatments (especially now-a-days) and it's not shocking to me that a doctor would potentially recommend against it in his case (super early detection with apparently successful surgery).

A little bit like how if you get skin cancer the first line of defense is to simply lop the thing off. You almost never get chemo with skin cancer unless it has progressed.

The current 5 year survival rate for pancreatic cancer detected early is 80%. So it's definitely an aggressive cancer even in the best practical scenarios.
I think it's just a fashion cycle, things will change again in time and we'll be asking the same question, but for a different design choice in 10 years.

And if that even happens a lot in the world (e.g., many nurses looking at many patients every day), then that chance is quite likely to realize somewhere.
Maybe it helps to consider all 4 possibilities for the sign of the gravitational mass of antimatter, and the sign of the inertial mass of antimatter?

(-,-): antimatter would fall down, but we could break conservation laws with a mechanism.

(+,-): antimatter would fall up, but we could break conservation laws with a mechanism using electrically charged particles.

(-,+): antimatter would fall up, but ruled out by the experiment.

So what remains is (+,+)?
These idle at a small fraction of what you feel is the expected power consumption, so your pricing calculation per year is way off. Far too high.

The cpu in the microserver (2nd item) is socketed, so you can swap it out for something lower power if you really wanted to.

What I didn’t remember though and only looked up
recently: the MSRP was $60-70

Notice that Super Mario World isn't even in that ad. That's because Super Mario World was a free pack-in game for most of the SNES's lifespan, at least in the US. So the MSRP was effectively $0 for a lot of us.

is a 5 hours long game,

That means you spent about 10-15 minutes on each level if you did a minimal playthrough and skipped all secrets. A brisk clip for an initial playthrough but it seems reasonable for an experienced gamer I guess.

There's no right or wrong way to enjoy a game, so if you are the type to power through a minimal playthrough and never touch it again... cool. No hate. That's your style. I have definitely done that with some games.

On the other hand if I enjoyed a game back then I definitely replayed it multiple times, so "5 hours to completion" definitely did not equal "5 hours of fun" for me and a lot of other people.

9 [hours] if you are going to 100%

Now this number is objectively junk. To get all 96 exits you're going to have to beat all 73 levels and you're going to have to beat some of them twice so you will play a total of 96 levels.
Some of the hidden worlds and hidden exits are tough to find. Doing it in 9 hours on your initial playthrough means you're hitting a new exit every 5.6 minutes. Not realistic.

Obviously it can be done in 9 hours or even much less with savestates, walkthroughs, playthrough vids, whatever, but that doesn't mean the game only has 9 hours of fun.
What about building a circular ship around a micro black hole? Or is that just real gravity and not anti-gravity?
