This is a problem in how warming is reported in my opinion. Saying it's just 2 or 3 degrees doesn't sound like a lot. But that is warming the whole planet on average by that amount. This is a lot of energy being injected into the climate, and regional variations and extreme weather will be much more severe.

Even if a shitty math curriculum consisted solely of kids memorizing times tables, such a curriculum is obviously distinct from a school hoping the kids will absorb math "without teaching." I've heard many parents talk about "sight words" before, so I know that concept has been used in the U.S. for quite some time now.

Just to be clear-- I've cited a single sentence, from one minute of skimming a single link from the article we both read. I have no idea about the efficacy of phonics vs what's called "balanced literacy" in the article. And I don't know what, if any, other teaching techniques are included in either the theory or practice of balanced literacy. (Or phonics, for that matter.)

What I do know is that "you just hope they'll absorb from their surroundings without teaching" is divorced from reality.

What I'll speculate is that ad tech indirectly delivered a low-effort article to your eyeballs and tricked you into riffing on a faulty premise.

If earnest, I'm glad more people prefer code that isn't littered with premature abstractions, redundant types, and useless comments expressing what can be more clearly read in the actual code.

Civilization existed for around 10-15k years, around the time climate got stable enough to get agriculture in a scale to support big cities. The changes that had been since then in global climate weren't sudden enough to put that in danger. Eventually plants and animals adapt to hotter climate if given time and don't surpass some critical thresholds.

But we are changing climate at a speed which precedents were around mass extinctions. Adaptation will be hard, adaptation of what we need at the scale we need to support a civilization will be harder, and we don't know yet if we will cross some threshold that may be lethal for us, at least at the time scale we live.

And that is just about averages. In recent years we had big heatwaves covering most of US and Europe, reaching near 50ºC even at high latitudes. You may be able to survive averages, but what about peaks for 55ºC or more? Check your cooling devices and electrical grids safe margins if you think AC will save from that.
This intrigued me for a number of reasons:

3. You reminded us all of the past BBS scene which definitely helped to bring enthusiasm (and great shareware distribution of software) to the masses long before the popular of the internet, thus opening up great memories of the past I imagine for many.

Thank you for the post, and looking forward to your progress.
Yandex is a genuinely good alternative. For text search, it isn't overly censored in relation to DMCA risks. Appending terms like 'torrent' actually work. For exact text searching, I found Yandex results to be better.

And Yandex is leagues ahead of Google and Bing in terms of reverse image search.

Google is generally better if you have a more abstract or conceptual query, or if you're not sure what
the best term would be.

For sure this new circle of hell is emerging. The browser is metastasizing into what resembles an application platform, operating system, a sandboxed virtual machine. It's becoming quite capable too, including a local file system (Origin Private File System), widely supported now.

There could be a new generation of portable, cross-platform and local-first apps built with HTML, CSS, and/or any language that compiles to WebAssembly. Perhaps after decades of penance in the flames of their own making, the web world will find redemption by re-discovering and re-inventing ancient dreams of universal computational media, networked software objects inter-communicating with distributed data..

Speaking like a true denizen of the ninth circle.

That just slight shifts where we are on the warming curve. It doesn't change the growth rate unless we also start rapidly growing the number of transoceanic vessels.

I would not be surprised if there is some astroturfing going on.

I like leaving my phone at home for taking walks or put it in a drawer while working. But since it's the main device for communicating with my peers plus a lot of services require you to have a phone, it becomes increasingly essential (which I don't like, but there we are).
The standard usb data pins are not used to negotiate the power profiles. The pins used for negotiating power profiles should be much safer, with fewer venues for exploit. Maybe not impossible in all cases, but it’s trivial to design a system that could not be exploited via the power negotiation pins.
I consider them much worse than that. Header files are explicitly a copy-paste of the included text file into your source. There’s no rule that they have to only contain declarations, or that they have to appear at the top of source files, or that they have to be .h files. All of those are usage conventions and not required by the language itself. The full capabilities of headers to muck with your code are arbitrarily large.

You don't need a microcontroller to build a realtime system, it could work equally well on an ARM or RISC-V machine.

There are certainly many scenarios where it could go hilariously(?) wrong.

I don't know what you mean.

The US doesn't have VAT, it has sales tax, which varies geographically by a great deal -- even between neighboring cities.

And advertised prices in the US virtually never include sales tax (in large part due to that variation).

Hotels and ticket brokers aren't getting any kind of free pass, they're advertising prices in the same way as everywhere else like grocery stores or Amazon -- at least as far as sales tax is involved.

Literally the only locations I've ever encountered that include sales tax in the price are a tiny minority of coffee shops (often cash-only) and budget pizza places (often the dollar-slice ones), which is to avoid having to deal with coins.

(The article is about other fees though, which is a different subject from sales tax.)

Ok, bit of a cheapshot. In seriousness, I never fully understood MariaDB - there may have been a concern about Oracle's plans for MySQL but was that really enough to start a for-profit corporation?

And in the meantime, the big cloud vendors did a decent job of offering their own SQL options. And then we have Postgres - it was always technologically superior to MySQL but over the past few years its become as easy to deploy and run as MySQL was.

I just don't see what segment or differentiator remained for MariaDB as a for-profit corporation.
