>The police have been escorting just stop oil protesters for their own safety, as the public started against protester.

I didn't agree with their blocking of roads, but there has been a hysteria whipped up online and by tabloids about them. to the point where a small minority of people think being late is a valid excuse to run their SUV over these protestors.

Go to comments on news websites covering these stories and you'll usually see a few suggestions to run them over.

Unfortunately a large % of of the richest soils in Ukraine are on the Russian side of the occupation line (Zaporizhia Oblast mainly).

That and there must be tens of thousands of acres that are damaged and poisoned by constant artillery bombardment, and full of landmines.

What Russia can't take by force, they are destroying.

Not sure what your standards are, but a notably bad cover also shows the author has invested essentially $0 in their book. You can get passable quality work from sites like GetCovers for ~$10-$30 (I think I paid $25). Though it’s possible these are the kinds of covers you’re reacting negatively to.

“Real” covers from US-based artists start at more like $300, which is a more substantial outlay for a project that’s unlikely to pay it back.
Does utility scale solar drive out native species (I am not a biologist or ecologist)? If not, tying up ag land with 20-30 year solar PPAs while preserving habitat (assuming a favorable layout of equipment) seems like a funding source. 43 million acres of US farmland is used for ethanol production, for example.

It's not quite a conservation easement, but agrivoltaics might be a possible path to conserving this land versus development or factory cash crop production. Farmers get the income they need, the impact to the land is minimal (panels, racking, and wires can be stripped at anytime), etc.

https://pv-magazine-usa.com/2022/03/10/solarfood-in-ethanol-...

"Of the ~92 million acres of corn planted in the US each year, roughly 40 million acres (1.6% of the nation’s land) are primarily used to feed cars and raise the octane of gasoline. If this land were repurposed with solar power, it could provide around three and a half times the electricity needs of the United States, equivalent to nearly eight times the energy that would be needed to power all of the nation’s passenger vehicles were they electrified.

However, if we were to transition this 40 million acres are of fuel to solar+food (agrivoltaics) – we could still meet 100% of our electricity needs, and power a nationwide fleet of electric vehicles."

> Bike infrastructure means some brick separators and painted lanes.

The biggest issue with bike infrastructure is that the people responsible for infrastructure genuinely believe this. The end result is usually a scattered bunch of stupidly dangerous "bike lanes" which aren't of use to basically anyone.

You need a separate biking network, which interfaces with car traffic as little as possible. This means you're essentially building "cycling highways" through car-free or car-minimal residential streets. Doing this properly means re-engineering those streets and intersections basically from the ground up, not just putting some paint on a highway gutter.

Fair enough and thanks for the example!

Probably just public relations.

The public hyper focuses blame for carbon emissions on huge electricity consumers (e.g. datacenters, manufacturing, bitcoin miners, etc) rather than on electricity producers who actually physically emit the carbon and is the obvious place to put pressure on in the form of carbon tax and incentives for renewables, storage, and carbon capture.

Datacenters in particular have acquired a bad reputation in the public eye as dirty and bad for the planet for some reason. This isn't even a new trend. People were pearl clutching about PCs using too much energy back in the 90s. https://www.forbes.com/forbes/1999/0531/6311070a.html?sh=6af...

Maybe it's because the utility of datacenters is a couple of orders removed from direct public benefit, unlike industries like chemical manufacturing, which is an order of magnitude more energy intensive but doesn't get the same public scrutiny. Maybe it's just because IT is the new kid on the block and easier for establishment political power to scapegoat.
This is a surprising and interesting. This is an actual supply of hydrogen that wasn't based on using fossil fuels or cracking water. Since they are reused fuel cells, they don't have that incredible expensive fuel cell bill of materials. Apparently the fuel cells in the toyota mirai are really expensive because of materials needed. Thanks for posting that.

Up to now all the h car projects just seemed like an attempt to keep the industrial complex useful, transferring the ideas of ICE. There's a kind of structural challenge to the ICE industrial complex with EVs because their expertise in design, building, service gas engines will not be needed with EVs. But this, this is promising to even me.
Literary fiction, yes. That market's so fucked that the vast majority of literary magazines don't pay at all and you'll often get sneered at for asking about pay.

Anyone trying to make any amount of money at writing writes genre fic of one sort or another. Fantasy or maybe sci fi, and probably "juvenile fiction" (tends to sell better to adults, too). Romance (which may or may not actually be straight-up porn, basically). Airport thrillers. Not lit-fic. Never, if your goal is to make any money at all.

And yeah, the publishing-side heavily favors people with money, lit-fic or not, for the reason that making a living at it requires excellent connections to get you directly into a high-paying part of it, or else years and years making less than it takes to live on in places like New York, to work your way up the ladder. Either way, that probably means family money. This phenomenon been mentioned, directly or obliquely, in IIRC all of: Bullshit Jobs (Graeber, 2018), Fussell's Class (1983), and The Official Preppy Handbook (Birnbach et al, 1980).

Who said anything about money? Owning a car sucks, dude. Without a car, you don't need a place to store it, you don't need to worry about the safety of your $25,000 item every time you want to go somewhere, you don't need to worry (as much) about being turned into hamburger by your own or some other idiot's mistake. When I go somewhere, I hop on the bus, read a book for a while, and then I'm at my destination. It's fantastic.

Future proof deploy of what exactly?

You’re right, it was named after the St. Louis - San Francisco Railway / Frisco Lines [1].

In the case of Frisco, TX the railroad did at least go through the city.

Also, apparently that railroad never actually went to SF [2]. I guess the name was just aspirational.

Because before developers were required to ensure that when they built something adding parking spaces to handle the demand they were introducing to an area was their responsibility. Now developers can (and will) push that externality onto the public at zero cost to them. The city has a very limited amount of parking spaces it can provide at any cost which means that removing that requirement will suddenly make parking much more expensive and harder to obtain.

I feel this. I write non-fiction in the tech industry. I start every project estimating the potential number of readers. My second book is the only one written for a particular profession. I calculated there were at least 20,000 people in the profession. Over 13 years it has sold about 2,000 copies.
I have also written the only history of the IT security industry. I update it every year. It too only sells 2,000 copies per edition.
Definitely not a way to make a living.
> Pretty good but regurgitated design patters overall, I'm not impressed.

I wrote "Nothing new of course." in the blog post itself, I am quite aware that it's a regurgitation of old stuff. Still, some of that old stuff is still being controversial, so I quite like giving it some theoretical backing.

> personally find the part about "Don’t waste vertical space" too far gone

Here's code I personally saw on the job, and it was mandatory, and the guy in charge of the silly rule that made it mandatory refused to change the rule, even though he admitted to my face the rule was silly:

/**
* Get the foo
*
* @return the foo
*/
int getFoo()

/**
* Set the foo
*
* @foo: the new foo
*/
void setFoo(int foo);

For something like 15 or more attributes, and this pattern was repeated across dozens of classes that I could see, and likely dozens that I didn't. Exactly like this, with comments that add zero information. And the rare times that it did, I kept missing it because it was drowned in a see of useless comments.

Sometimes the code is too far gone.
My only exposure to Coqui was their text to speech software. If I remember correctly the website was a commercialized service with TTS and probably some other related things. I hope the software work continues in the open.

Previous open source licenses focused on making sure that improvements to open source software were shared. There were created at a time when appliance and IoT like devices did not exist. Many companies have been very supportive of the model, joined open source groups, and even taken an upstream first approach to open source projects. Open source projects provide an enormous asset to companies, and it's often in their best interest to see those projects thrive.

But yes, companies are much less interested in people modifying software on devices they sell. It isn't smoke and mirrors, there are just different reasons that different individuals support open source software. And there's different licenses to suit different purposes.

Thanks! It's hard to escape making a syntax that's just a blend of other language's syntax elements, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Cassette's syntax is in some ways my favorite elements from other languages, and is most influenced by Elixir.

> How did you manage to use syntax highlighting for your own language on your website?

I used Pandoc to format a markdown file to HTML, which supports custom syntax definitions for code sections. (The relevent flags are `--standalone --template=template.html --syntax-definition=syntax.xml`.) The syntax definition is written in an XML format used by the Kate text editor (from KDE): https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kate/katepart/highlight.html

> One thing: I was confused (as others stated here I think) by the link to Robins Loan's website and thought it was an other article from you about Cassette.

Thanks, I'll clarify this or remove it soon.

No, we were talking about how compilers came in at least two disks (one for compiler and one for linker) when this came up.

He started these things with punched cards, and worked at the prominent companies of the time (like IBM and HP), and seen tons of bizarre computer architectures on the way like registerless processors.

He might be recalling a very specific example, or about a very slow system, but I remember the conversation well.

That thing has been probably sorted out by the mid of 90s, but I was just starting programming back then.

Oh, I'm a proud member of "descriptive variable name mafia", but not affiliated with the Java branch. They're a different breed. On the other hand, being written real math in C++ (differential equations), having three letter variable names for everything is equally painful. :)

Don't forget the most important security considerations: (1) choose a hardware and OS combination where none of your I/O hardware (video, audio, wifi, etc.) is supported, so that it can never be used to exploit your system; (2) choose an OS so obscure and weird that a potential hacker is guaranteed to have never even heard of it, and would need to study your specific machine for months to make heads or tails of it

Just joking, I love OpenBSD
Whenever I see projects like this, I'm convinced the authors have never worked on actual large-scale frontend projects and teams, especially not for a meaningful amount of time. It's telling when people say "React has gotten too complex."

This might be good for "Squares", but I am not looking forward to having to explain to the new bootcamp grad why this would ruin any sort projects of size.

Is it because of the lack of trees at farms that is causing the decline of birds?

A side query brought to attention the following research paper: https://www.extension.iastate.edu/news/iowa-state-university... (Iowa State University Research Finds Wind Farms Positively Impact Crops).

It seems wind farms hinder winds causing positive effects on farms. By a small stretch of the imagination, trees should do the same thing, which will help with bird populations. And bird sticks on wind towers should also help bird populations.

We are a "best practice" away from helping farms, trees, and birds all in one go!

Isn't profit more important than share price long term? There's plenty of junky SV companies that had insane share valuations during low interest rates rates and the pandemic bubble, but that are sinking now due to lack of profitability.

Focus on high share price seems more important for speculators who wanna make a quick buck on the short term regardless if the company dies in long term.
This is the standard example that is always used to show the god-like power of these kinds of personalities. Apple employees spend years designing the thinnest phone in the world and show it to Jobs. Instead of praising them he says "no, make it thinner". And by the power of that sentence they go back to their lab and make the phone 20% thinner. Isn't Jobs a genius?

I don't think there'd be a problem taking their word for it if the questions asked were the right ones.

Asking people if they feel like they're addicted to social media without framing exactly what you mean by addicted (and for that matter what you include in social media) might both overcount and undercount.

Have everyone who answered answered on the basis that they see this "addiction" as a problem, or a negative, and something they genuinely find hard to stop (as opposed to not really wanting to do anything about)? On the opposite end, are the ones who disagree counting forums like Reddit, or HN? Discord servers? Are they talking mostly about one one-on-one contact with friends on, say, Snapchat, that they're "addicted to" because it's social contact they enjoy, or depression-boosting, compulsive voyeueristic doom scrolling that they're addicted to in a downright harmful way?

It's a start, and little more, to ask that first question that pretty much only tells us that there is something of sufficient magnitude to probe further. To start with, the respondents appear to not have said whether or not their "addiction" is something that causes negative effects on their life or not.
I did not downvote, but just wanted to mention that the first two do not require a traditional publisher. In fact none of them do, but especially not the first two.

It is true that there are real quality issues with a lot of self-published work because you don't _need_ an editor to publish your book. Heck, you don't even need to do a self-edit pass. Write it and hit publish! But it is increasingly an expectation that you have one, because quality expectations are extremely high, especially for competitive money-making genres.

I started out self-editing and now pay for three professional edits for each release: developmental, copy, and proofread. Professional editors are not exclusive to traditional publishing houses.
I'm not saying it is, but I wouldn't say that previously we weren't on the right path to that discovery and now, thanks to public interest, we are.

The Oh the Urbanity channel has a video on the (mistaken) idea that "urban living" = Manhattan / Hong Kong apartment blocks, which is certainly not the case:

Suburban design is the worst of both worlds: lacking the density of the urban so infrastructure is inefficient and so is transportation, and basically bulldozing what makes more rural living nice (closeness to nature).

> Virtually no (offline) stores sell devices with Linux.

I did not specify offline, I was mainly catching Windows as an individually purchasable product.

> Being downloadloadable doesn’t imply compatibility with all the hardware in the world.

I did not say that it does, but there are plenty of distros that strive to be a consumer desktop OS, and part of that effort is working with a broad range of hardware, and for me they continually fail. I would rather install an OS where all my hardware works and then I can tweak it to behave the way I want than install an OS where the hardware doesn’t work and I still spend my time tweaking it to behave the way I want.

Even ignoring hardware support and things like sleep and hibernate, every Linux desktop user I know spends more time customizing the OS to get their desired setup than I do getting rid of the things they complain about in Windows.

It is fine to have a preference, there’s no perfect OS for everyone, but I think it is silly when people decide this is a hill they want to die on. There are valid reasons for tech literate users to consciously choose Windows over Linux.
