> driving more extreme changes, intoducing [sp] greater storms

Respectfully, the mean temperature is the wrong measure for that. You want to look at measures like variance / std. div. -- the second moment and not the first.

That's why I listed under "Extreme-weather-itis" under things I care about.

> setting us up for even more change as water vapor and methane levels rise which themselves are greater insulators that trap more heat than CO2

Respectfully, you don't know that. The phrase should be "setting ourselves up for something possibly very bad." Extrapolation works worse than interpolation, and it's a chaotic system.

Respectfully, the level of imprecision and propaganda here is a root cause of scepticism.

People can understand why we don't want to play Russian Roulette, especially when most of the barrels are loaded, each with a different munition. That's more honest and likely leads to the outcome you want.

We have nothing to gain by normalizing relations with Russia. They have nothing that we want and they can't be trusted to negotiate in good faith anyway. So it's back to containment: Cold War 2. As such we should take every opportunity short of direct conflict to disrupt, undermine, disrespect, and humiliate the Putin regime. In a few decades the Russian empire will undergo another internal collapse or civil war, and then more of their outer territories can be stripped away.
This was the best part of the article for me:

I don't remember seeing anything like that NEON instruction in AltiVec or SSE so it didn't even occur to me to look for it when I ported some SIMD code to NEON; now I'm going to go back and look for opportunities to use it!
As long as there is any large amounts of ice on the planet, it will be called an ice age by geologists. So yes, we are in an ice age by that pedantic technical definition.

What's relevant in this discussion, is when was the last time temperature and climate were significantly lower on the Earth, coupled with much larger amounts of ice on the planet. This was over 10k years ago.

Of course, this whole discussion is moot, because natural causes have never in scientifically measurably history, caused GMST to change at the rate it is now - about 2C in 150 years, caused by humans dumping CO2 into the atmosphere.
Confusingly, the paper[0] cited by this article seems undecided on this front. Figure 1A of the paper puts Hurricane Patricia (2015) into hypothetical category 7, but the "current and proposed categories" in Table 1 stops at declaring category 6 wind speed > 86 m/s (or 192mph, 167 knots, 309 km/h), and category 7 doesn't make an appearance elsewhere in the paper.

I was really hoping to find an authoritative listing of the strongest storms, but it is missing in both the linked article and the underlying paper. The paper itself uses data from International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship, which has a confusing website. As a non-expert, the website's top windspeed[1] category lists the following storms with maximum wind speeds of >167 knots (category 6 in the proposed scheme):

213kt - 1958 IDA
194kt - 1958 GRACE, 1959 JOAN, 1959 DINAH, 1961 NANCY, 1964 SALLY
185kt - 2015 PATRICIA
184kt - 1961 VIOLET
180kt - 1955 RUTH
178kt - 1955 JANET,
174kt - 1951 MARGE, 1953 NINA, 1956 WANDA, 1957 VIRGINIA, 1957 HESTER, 1957 KIT, 1957 LOLA, 1959 VERA, 1959 CHARLOTTE, 1966 KIT
170kt - 1964 OPAL, 2013 HAIYAN, 2016 MERANTI, 2020 GONI, 2021 SURIGAE

I don't see any explanation for why there were so many fantastically powerful storms in the 1950s-60s. Perhaps the older data is of dubious quality?

>get clean outcomes at home and export and concentrate the environmental implications abroad

Yes this is a huge problem. If your inputs tell the market that certain humans or certain biomes are economically less valuable than others (eg through statistical life valuations, or environmental regulation arbitrage), then the market genie will say "you asked for it you got it!" and 'efficiently' re-allocate pollution to those poor countries. :-\

Markets are fundamentally a tool for distributed computation, and "garbage in, garbage out" still applies.

The places people talk about travelling to tend to have atmospheres and gravity, yes.
The scale is somewhat arbitrary (plot the points) but category 7 would start somewhere around 225MPH. Highest ever recorded is 215MPH, so category 7 is worth having in reserve.
Anxiety is a powerful emotion and can be leveraged into massive creativity.

Think of your emotions as a means of your subconscious telling you something important and the message is, in your case: You are underprepared.

So instead of succumbing to the dark-side of anxiety, heed the call and rise to the challenge.

Since you’re a programmer, start building projects that demonstrate your skills, and even better, building them up.

Challenge your self to build a small project every weekend and post it on a portfolio website despite any fears of judgement.

In a years time you will have 52 unquestionable examples of your competence that not only will attract the attention of your employers, but future employers as well.

Plus, and most importantly, your portfolio will give you the confidence you’re looking for and your subconscious will thank you.
Context of the parent was buying a spare OEM unit from a junkyard for experimenting.

Third party can be a money pit also. Like a volume knob that controls the factory amp via canbus rather than the fixed output level head unit. And the amp is conveniently not close to the head unit. And, mentioned elsewhere, but additional stuff for steering wheel controls, car data that the OEM head unit displayed (mpg, trip meter, etc).

Note there was an error in my math here which I can no longer correct. My 27" 4K at a distance of 20" has a PPD of 63, which is also considered retina. Compare this to the Vision Pro PPD of ~34.

To get true 4K res (3840x2160) at a PPD of 34 would require a screen that is 3840 / 34 = 113 degrees wide, way in excess of what is accessible by adduction of the human eye. A 60° wide screen would have a resolution of 60*34 = 2,040 pixels wide, or roughly 1080p.

The NextJS team should be working on making NextJS run better with Deno, not the other way around. If the NextJS team doesn't want to do the heavy lifting with that support, thats on them. I think its perfectly reasonable that the Deno folks have an approximate alternative to NextJS. After all, NextJS won't use native Deno idioms for example, it'll always be tied to Vercels' proprietary cloud infrastructure.
I am not making a judgment on that, I was just pointing out that your counter-examples weren't really relevant to the point OP was making.
Right; I guess the only reason investor money keeps flowing in here is the need to maintain market position (and the implied flow of data) until automation displaces enough of the people. That's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

I don't know if any of those things would impact car ownership. One of the main reasons to dislike Musk is his penchant for saying embarrassingly racist, anti-trans or otherwise similar views, although that also wouldn't impact car ownership.

What would be concerning for ownership of his products are his complete botching of twitter in multiple ways, seemingly driving it into the ground, and his mercurial way of running Tesla (removing then adding the ultrasonic sensors, constantly discounting new cars, etc).
Treating it declaratively is what I initially thought it would be, but what happens when the user needs to tweak the layout for some unique requirement? My guess is what would happen is it would force them to completely eject from your declarative approach, similar to how if you build software on low-code tools, and need to tweak something, you typically have to completely eject. The low-code thing has no understanding to render your custom thing.

Idk maybe this can be solved, but seems problematic to describe layouts like SQL then rely on query planners to deliver the perfect execution.
There seems to be a belief in the fast food industry that if there's not an immediate negative impact on sales from a price increase that there won't be any future demand destruction from it.
I still haven't figured out how to bring in a deno "app", a cli tool, into an air-gapped environment. There is literally zero docs and everything assumes you are connected to the internet. The whole thing is too magical, and has no hope in the corporate world.

Endowments are used to fund scholarships for students from middle-class and lower backgrounds. The degree is only costly to the extent that your parents are to well-off or your school's endowment is too small. (This is a serious problem if your parents are well-off but stingy, or if you get into an elite-ish but not actually top-tier college).

Endowments, like universities, are meant to be perpetual, so the amount of access they can provide is limited by the return on capital. Some people would perhaps like to see the principal spent down, which could provide dramatically more access in the short term, but then the money would be gone.
> Everyone interested in this story should read Stephen Greenblatt's The Swerve (https://www.pulitzer.org/winners/stephen-greenblatt).

It's interesting reading for a layperson, but as with any other pop-history book, one should read this with a heaping plate of salt at hand. (I'm... not sure what that metaphor actually means or if this is an appropriate way to extend it.)

Things are always more nuanced than can be laid out in a sweeping narrative format and the compression required can lose some critical information, even with the best of intentions. There's also just getting things wrong, which most non-historians do and many historians will do on topics that aren't their expertise.

I'd read this criticism from AskHistorians (not infallible, I know)

I wasn't writing a critiqued essay. It's perfectly reasonable to assume 80% of orgs don't have the scale, core competencies or justifiable need to be managing container clusters themselves.

Also, no need to assume. I specifically said "use something managed".

> Storm surge flooding, rain flooding, and wind

I use wind and the speed of the storm directionally as my mental model when thinking about hurricanes. Rain/surge flooding are results of how long the system is over an area.

That said if a storm is a 3+ I’ll leave - driving 3-4 hours is way more enjoyable than trying to sleep with no AC
In cities like NYC, it worked for vast numbers of restaurants. Anyone who lived in the city before Seamless etc. remembers having masses of restaurant menus with phone numbers for ordering - some were for pick-up only, but most would do local delivery.

That was Uber’s plan with ride sharing and it didn’t pan out. Delivery just isn’t very viable without automation, humans are simply too expensive to do it, so someone will figure it out or we will make do without.

The problem with codecs is that you basically need to double-encode/store etc. until you have effectively 100% support in your visitors’ browsers, and that’s uneconomical for all but the largest sites.

As the maintainer of Chrome (and to some extent even all browsers based on Blink), Google currently really does have the power to kill web standards, especially those that have a (less efficient) alternative.

This would be true even if the majority of people would be willing to change browsers over an image codec, which they’re almost certainly not.

Which data? I, too, thought Web3 had been put to rest.
It becomes good politics when people realize everything is much worse like in Argentina. It's remarkable Seattle, Portland, and SF haven't decisively reached this state yet.
For the people who know how to do that, they are just not going to use SSO in the first place. They will just use email+password+OTP.
Yeah I figured that would be the case. I still think it would be really cool effect to see anyway if you could go fast enough and experience the motion parallax of the stars. No offense to this project as it's really impressive.
NYC is also extremely abnormal because of the density
This is also counterbalanced by the idea: "If you work, your basic needs should be absolutely met and with a little bit more."

> I'm not sure the point is to actually help people for whom something is better than nothing, it's to demonstrate resentment and frustration and a worldview that sees all wage labor as exploitative.

The "gig" companies are the ones taking the bulk of the money, and then disbursing pittances and stealing tips. They can definitely pay better.

Or, communications professionals! I would love to see more emphasis on science communications.

The article touches on the fact that the Saffir-Simpson scale kinda over-relies on arbitrary windspeeds as its categorization factor. It doesn't take into account the potential damage from storm surges and flooding. (Also, as the comedian Ron White has remarked, it's not that the wind blows, but what the wind blows.[1]) Does a human have any way of conceptualizing the difference of 178-208 km/h (cat4) versus 252+ km/h (cat5) hurricane? Instead, there's an over reliance on the number -- perpetuated by how news media portray the storms.

In October 2023 residents of Acapulco, Mexico were told that a Category 1 hurricane was approaching. It rapidly intensified to a cat 5 within a day and residents were totally unprepared.[2] Did residents even know "rapid intensification" was even possible?

Is the potential for rapid intensification due to warming waters the thing we should be communicating rather than "category numbers"?

In 2007 they updated the 'Fujita Scale' for Tornadoes (Now the 'Enhanced Fujita Scale') to better incorporate assessed damage.[3] Do we need some sort of update to the Saffir-Simpson scale that better takes into account potential/assessed damage? (Especially as it relates to the flooding/storm surge aspects).

edit: In terms of what the wind blows: an equivalent category storm that hits Jamaica versus one that hits Houston will likely produce very different levels of damage purely due to the difference in infrastructure types. Yet, both regions are warned with the same "category number."

The mere energy wasn't the fear; the fear was nuking cities in particular would create the kind of dust that would get stuck at high altitudes, and put it at those high altitudes.

I was so surprised by your comment that I had to check that I hadn't been using the wrong word all this time! However, I don't think it's a veganisation, as you put it.

Usage of "ends meet" dates back to at least the 17th century with uncertain origin, but possibly to do with ropes or accounting. "ends meat" seems to be a more modern derivation, sometimes given as a folk etymology for the former.

From your link, there is advice for today's computer game addicts:

The philosopher and theologian Al-Ghazali mentions chess in The Alchemy of Happiness (c. 1100). He uses it as a specific example of a habit that may cloud a person's good disposition:[34]

Indeed, a person who has become habituated to gaming with pigeons, playing chess, or gambling, so that it becomes second-nature to him, will give all the comforts of the world and all that he has for those (pursuits) and cannot keep away from them.
I wish that this worked out in the long run! However, watching the field spin its wheels in the mud over and over with silly pet theories and local results makes it pretty clear that a lot of people are just chasing the butterfly, then after a few years grow disenchanted and sort of just give up.

The bridge comes when people connect concepts to those that are well known and well understood, and that is good. It is all well and good to say in theory that rediscovering things is bad -- it is not necessarily! But when it becomes groundhog day for years on end without significant theoretical change, then that is an indicator that something is amiss in general in how we learn and interpret information in the field.

Of course, this is just my crotchety young opinion coming up on 9 years in the field, so please take that that with a grain of salt and all that.
>In his new book Wasted Education, sociologist John Skrentny points out that the post-graduation trajectories of STEM graduates are more likely to involve being chewed up and spit out by the tech economy than to end up with stable long-term careers.

Why not abuse workers when you have compliant politicians on speed dial to alter the labor market to provide you with more workers to chew up and spit out? The most the government alters the labor market to favor the whims of employers, the more bad behavior they engage in.

I'm sure he won't be a Mr. Burns trying to sell more power when reducing the effect of solar panels.
One problem is the speed of change, check https://xkcd.com/1732/ to have an idea. Adaptation needs time, else you get extinction. Very fast changes on global average temperature are correlated with big extinction events. And we depend on the ecosystem to be more or less as it is, for example to keep having agriculture.

Besides that, temperature just doesn't rise without affecting everything else. There are multiple (positive) feedback loops that increase the rate of warming directly (like ice melting reflecting less sunlight) or indirectly (i.e. permafrost thawing do their own carbon emissions) that get triggered once we get past some limits. Once the ball gets rolling things will get much faster, even without our intervention.
