Tradeoffs of?
That's true, but the term itself is archaic; at the time (early 19th century) the most widespread gaseous fuel was coal gas, also known as "town gas" because we piped it to urban homes for lighting. There's not much need for the distinction anymore, plus "methane" aligns with the other trade names for other fossil gases (propane, butane).

Isn't this precisely what leadership is for?

If your devs are just implementing whatever system design is coming from your tech leads, and having no opportunity to have an input or their own, you'll find you have very unhappy devs who don't hang around very long. That churn will make it impossible to build a decent system.
Anything about 2C is extremely risky for civilised society. It’s likely that we’ve already surpassed the tipping point for the West Antarctic ice sheet which over time will lead to meters of sea level rise. Changing weather patterns and simultaneous breadbasket failures will mean food becomes a lot more expensive - if you’re lucky enough to have access to it at all. At 3.5C many places on the planet become uninhabitable. People aren’t able to work outside for much of the year due to wet bulb temperatures. Regular storm surge causes a large percentage of the planets population to migrate. Salination of ground water and water for crop irrigation becomes a serious problem. Mountain glaciers that provide clean drinking water for millions of people dry up. In all, it’s hard to see a situation where we’d be able to maintain a reasonable quality of life under the conditions of >2C of warming.

You’re comparing the largest solar plant in the world to a SINGLE reactor at a nuclear plant. You’re forgetting that solar plants are not able to produce anywhere near their nameplate capacity (and the fraction they do produce is not reliable). You misunderstood that the $30B figure is for two reactors, only one of which is operational atm. Solar farms have much shorter lifespans, and the panels are toxic and non recyclable.

Also why do we pretend that we can just magically clone 3x of the Bhadla plant from pakistan to the US for identical costs? Why do we assume we have infinite rare earth metals for panel/battery production?

> Just design the software upfront for what you will need, like a professional.

This is impossible for anything more complex than the simplest of toy examples. Never have I seen a production system where all behaviors and use cases are known, well-defined and correctly documented ahead of (or even after the) implementation in enough detail. That’s just not how people operate.

It’s the equivalent of saying everybody should just come together and talk it out to achieve world peace.
Correct question is: why does it take a few teams to deliver feature? This defeats point of entire exercise.

Great that it works for you and your particular project.

Without knowing the details if your project and team, I’d take a monolith any day over 400 microrepos and the 70+ backend microservices. Our customers don’t care if it’s microservices or monoliths as long as it works and meets SLAs, so the question really is do I want to upgrade ruby or rails 400 times and deploy 100 services or just do it once in my monolith and deploy once?

Need to upgrade a gem that’s used in 100 of those repos to address a CVE - no thanks. Worse, 10 of those repos were owned by someone who left the company a year ago and since there were no PRs, no one knows how to work in the repo or understand what it does.

Julian Shapiro – Armageddon: The End
Yes, same feeling I had, but with dual mode; can be compiled as a 'standalone' service over HTTP/REST (or whatever) and _also_ compiled as a classic module with a strictly defined interface.

One cool thing about standalone services which needs to be factored in is that they can be spun up and debugged very easily. But for deployment, we pay for all the network latency/marshaling overhead, and coordination complexity.

So, best of both worlds? As for polyglot, there does have to be a shared platform (C ABI, JVM, etc). (Go doesn't play so nicely with other languages due to goroutine stack allocation.)

Predicated upon what?

Natural gas was merely a name to differentiate between 'gasoline', short form 'gas' for many english speaking countries. And the name is valid, it's mostly in its natural form, compared to 'gasoline aka gas', which required loads of processing to create it from oil.

And the name comes from a time before most of the population had even heard of global warming, at a time before people cared about using fossil fuels. There was in no way any attempt to greenwash, because absolutely no one cared one iota back then!

And the same is true for being palatable. It was just fuel. There was no reason to make it sound better. This was the age when most homes were heated by heating oil, or wood, or coal even!

People didn't get "triggered" back then, not in the 1950s or whatever. No one really cared except in the most extreme of cases. The earliest marketing concern over a name I know of, is "canola" oil, created by Canadian research programs, first on market I believe in the 70s, which is rapeseed oil.

(Rapeseed oil was added to cattle feed before this, but was considered too bitter for people until processing improvements were developed.)

It was thought that women would associate rapeseed with rape, and not buy it. This was in North America, the rest of the world generally, at the time, just called it rapeseed oil.

> If you look at various statistics, the Anglo countries share strong commonalities, even though people of British descent are now a distinct minority in the US (while being a majority in Britain, Canada, and Australia).

The preferred term for Australia's historical ethnic majority is "Anglo-Celtic" not "British"; calling it "British" can be seen as ignoring Irish-Australians.

One big difference between the Australia and the US - there was a significant minority of Irish Catholics in Australia from the very beginnings of British settlement. Although they did experience some discrimination, it was a lot less than in the US, so they integrated more quickly and easily into the establishment. People thought it was a big deal when a Catholic of Irish descent was elected US President in 1961; Australia had its first Catholic and first Irish-descended Prime Minister over 30 years earlier, and it was an event which attracted far less notice.

> Over time, other people moved in. Those were immigrants. But for a long time it wasn’t immigration as we know it today. Many of them created greenfield communities, settling large swaths of the Midwest, etc. Those communities were pockets of Germans, etc., in a country that was still distinctly British.

You seem to be drawing a "settler"-vs-"immigrant" distinction based on majority-vs-minority ethnicity. From my perspective, that's a rather idiosyncratic usage. To me, an immigrant is an immigrant, regardless of their ethnic background. A "settler" is either an old-fashioned synonym for "immigrant", or else a term for those immigrants who "created greenfield communities".
Thanks for your reply, I don‘t mean that the original SQL cannot do this kind of query, but using standard SQL to do such a query will be very complicated and inconsistent with user intuition.

Saying that it is “greenwashing” is ridiculous. The gas is called natural because when it was discovered it came from nature, not from manufacturing by heating coal. This name is older than marketing or green politics and it is quite natural way to call this gas.
Exactly. There is no fuel economy since you still have to pump it to 5-6k rpm and no safety as well since it may cost you life when you have not enough power during overtake.

Sport mode on some cars is so lousy implemented (some SEA market toyota for example) that it's not even a solution.
>When has line length ever been an issue?

The early 90s - even the glorious VGA didn't have much large than 80 columns, it took VESA to bring the 132×43 text mode. Then early '00, with whoever managed to come with the extreme anti-pattern of having extremely long class names in Java, 1024x768 was not enough by far (and 800x600 was a joke).

Unfortunately, I don't really find the time anymore. It was really fun working on it, but it took an incredibly amount of time, and now my focus shifted to many other things (deep learning, family).

I probably should release some updated binaries at some point though, such that it works properly on more recent OS.

> The higher the transaction fees, the more validators earn.

Not really. 95% of the gas fees get burned and do not go to the validators at all. Only the 'tip' or 'priority fee' goes to the validators and even that is barely anything. Most of the transaction related income validators get is from MEV - basically bribes to order transactions in the block in a particular manner allowing arbitrageurs to extract additional value. These bribes are somewhat correlated to the level of the gas fees, but not always.

Not sure if this is directly related but all province names in Belgium are displayed in Dutch, even in the French speaking regions. Waals-Brabant or Provincie Namen, for example.

Another criticism I would make is that different levels are displayed the same, for example in France I can see both "Pas-de-Calais" and "Hauts-de-France" in the same style, at the same time, although one is part of the other.

>At 3.5C many places on the planet become uninhabitable

Which places in particular? Here in the middle east temperatures regularly get up to 45-50 degrees celsius in the summer and people get by okay. Most places have average temperatures much lower than that, so how would a rise of just 3-4 degress make then uninhabitable?

AfD voters are not literal Nazi party members, obviously, but it's definitely not the case that they're "holding their noses" at the ideology -- the (racist) ideology of AfD is fundamental to the entire platform of the party. In fact this kind of comment is just apologia: the only effect is that you end up validating and lending credence to that ideology.

I chose a .Net library (Zedgraph) about 10 years ago, partly for the opposite reason. It was already known to be "finished", what you might call dead. It reliably does what I want so I don't care about updates. I'm still using the same version today and never had to even think about updating or breakages or anything. It just keeps on working.

Mind you, it's a desktop application not exposed to the internet, so security is a little lower priority than normal.

> If the bridge has loose stones, you put up a sign that says the bridge is hazardous and has loose stones and provide a map with an alternate route.

This is quaint, but not actually the problem. The problem is that every bridge manufacturer will cut corners on materials and design (because it's cheaper) meaning that there will be zero safe bridges. The bridge manufacturer's incentives do not line up with its users.

When I walk up to a safe-looking bridge, how am I supposed to know it's been made with insufficient rebar or dodgy concrete until it's collapsed on top of me? A sign?

> If a person in a situation makes a judgement call and they're wrong, they could die. If a legislator makes a judgement call for everyone all at once, people will die because different people will be on different sides of the trade off, possibly more of them than would otherwise if they'd each been able to make their own decision in context, and certainly some of them who would have lived if they'd been able to choose for themselves and choose differently.

Like I said, it's a balance of harms. There's both appropriate and inappropriate places for government intervention, and we're already legally not prevented (encouraged, even) from engaging in a bunch of very dangerous activities.

But the assertion that legislative intervention will always result in more deaths than letting people "decide for themselves" seems highly dogmatic and unsupported.

> It sounds like you want to trade the lives of people who choose well for the lives of people who choose wrong without even knowing which number is bigger.

We know which number is bigger. Go look at non-natural death rates in much countries with much smaller governments / regulatory frameworks.
do you have any source on that? I got none, just my opinion formed over time. Might be wrong. If that's the case, I'll restate it as follows. I don't see why a technology that bears no initial utility couldn't find it in the future. Again, I'm not sayign it's definitely the case with Bitcoin. Using cryptography in some clever way to record transactions though... but yes, some hype is definitely misplaced.
On a similar note, I once again wish more displays were 3:2, and more people knew about it. The human central (not peripheral) vision’s ratio is very close to 3:2, yet due to economics of scale 16:9 is marginally cheaper and much more common.

And if someone is wondering, no, rotating 16:9 vertically for more vertical space doesn’t help because it makes it very narrow - for me IMO a square display would be the best. (There are also minor subpixel rendering issues, along with viewing angle issues if using a TN panel but those are still more minor.)

No, there is no such absolute requirement that "newly added" functions cannot be stabilized.
