I want to continue growing, just replace fossil fuels with renewables or nuclear in all developed countries, and subsidize the same for poor countries who haven't historically emitted much and don't have the wealth to transition themselves. There isn't this false dichotomy of degrowth vs growth. We can grow our economy without growing emissions.

https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2020/05/08/fatal-heat-humi...

The medium-term problem for these hot countries is that extreme heat negatively impacts education and economic productivity. Whenever there's a heatwave (which will become more frequent) they have to keep their kids home. Worker producitivity is negatively impacted. It's terrible for their economic development. The US and Australia and Canada continuing to pump more fossil fuels instead of simply building renewables does nothing help the average person in Sri Lanka living under 30+ degree heat. It is actively physically harming them in a very real way. It's an indirect, diffuse form of physical assault.

The long-term problem for these hot countries is that wet bulb temperatures will make it literally uninhabitable unless you have electricity and aircon, which many don't. This is not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. If we keep emitting, temperatures will keep rising, until the point that this becomes true. It is causality.

I want conservatives to think about this latter point because the consequences are mass immigration to colder countries, primarily the US and in Europe. Then the side-effect of that will probably be a rise in authoritarianism in these colder countries as a reaction to the mass immigration. None of this benefits anyone.

It's basically the Route 2-related rotaries. The Concord rotary and the "twin doughnuts of death" as you enter Cambridge. Of course, all those intersections would be nightmares at rush hour however they were designed/configured.

For the longest time yeah, it was the centre interconnection of all major routes though the town centre. If you look on street view you can see the main arteries working out from there to the older parts of the town (ignore west and north neither existed in the 70s.)

I think it will predate the M4 and A417/9 build dates just, 100% predates Thamesdown drive so you didn't have good circular options around the town.

Drupal is already the default CMS in EU institutions and it can replace Sharepoint and Microsoft Word, but this requires a massive change of workflows, breaking of habits and quite some training.

git (yes, git) can be use by Publications Office to track recitals and publish directives.

It's just a matter of concerted work together against the dominance of US IT companies.

It will be hard.

I think we're talking about two different things. I was addressing a section in the article about running databases backed by s3. It's less about s3 needing to act as a filesystem, and more about all of the rdbms features that come along with the various types of DB transactions. It's a solved problem with the libraries I mentioned. Not something I'd ever recommend to build on your own. Been there done that when those solutions were still nascent. Wasn't worth the effort vs just using an rdbms.

The problem that emrfs is trying to solve doesn't cover the rdbms scenarios like row-level updates and deletes.

And more importantly, anaerobic life arose on Earth first and plausibly the jump from a lifeless planet to anaerobic life took an order of magnitude less time than the evolution of photosynthesis did. Because of that and given how much more common subsurface liquid water is than surface liquid water in our solar system I wouldn't be surprised if anaerobic life was drastically more common than aerobic life in the universe.

I think a lot of confusion come from the fact that a lot of people (including, presumably, the parent) use "Lisp" to mean Common Lisp, whereas many others take it to mean what Common Lisp people might call "lisp" or lisp-family. You can easily have a substanceless argument this way, and many often do!
The challenge is balancing competing incentives: you need the infrastructure to be built, but you also need people to consider EVs as their next vehicles.

The additional challenge is building the trust in the infrastructure required to make a lot of folks, myself included, satisfied that they'll be able to charge when they need to. My experience here in the Bay Area is that it's hit-or-miss as to whether the chargers actually work, let alone whether they're duly occupied for that purpose.

With some hope, now that there's a potential for profit motive, we'll start seeing the level of service improve to meet expectations as required to make people like me migrate away from burning hydrocarbons.

I very desperately want to like EVs, but so far, the appetite hasn't been there because of issues, nay, subscriptions like this.
Ko is very common in Go, though. You can't validly repeat the board position (simplified way of handling Ko rules) but if tree search failed to evaluate ko positions correctly it'd be easy to construct situations where the AI would make bad moves.

> I think the difference between 2000 and 2020 is already greater than the difference between 1900 and 2000.

I vehemently disagree. The invention of air conditioning/refrigeration alone is more impactful than anything released between 2000-2020. Add in aviation, automobiles, telephones, and television and it’s not even close.
Reddit is fundamentally a link aggregator and there are countless examples of them. 20 years ago (jeez) slashdot was doing the same

In fact, Reddit went mainstream when Digg fumbled their 2.0 launch, and just recently Reddit was in danger of doing the exact same thing with their poorly designed apps and new design.

I think this is a type of project where the results will never be fully possible to predict, but the same goes for what happens if we do nothing. It impacting the entire plant is kind of irrelevant imo, basically everything we do these days impacts the entire planet anyway and we don't lose much sleep over it.

The way I see it, we can either act and run the risk of getting it wrong and making a bad situation worse, or doing nothing and guaranteeing a bad situation. On a very basic level any risk is worth it if we know that the alternative must be avoided at all costs (e.g. guaranteed death). I don't think the end result will be extinction if we do nothing but reduce emissions, but there it be a major enough calamity to justify the risk of doing some things we can't fully test.

Regardless of the cause, by the time the problem appeared the Operators had already made a good return on their investment.

Yes, you're completely correct that 64¢/kWh is more expensive than a similar sized gas car. A Toyota Corolla has an annual fuel cost of $1,000 versus a Hyundai IONIQ 6 at $2,250 (using 64¢/kWh and $3.27/gal).

But home charging (18.5¢/kWh for me) or L2 charging at a workplace is much cheaper and can bring that cost down from $2,250 to <$700/yr.

Second edition of Friedman's Essentials of Programming Languages is very good for this. A tough read, but very good. The second edition is written in Scheme, I think the third changed?

GlideGrid is an outstanding canvas grid component (interestingly, it was initially used by us before we decided to create our own version to enhance the user experience). Teable, on the other hand, is a fully-featured no-code platform aimed at empowering those without technical backgrounds to efficiently work with Postgres (a relational database).
Wait, they're measuring data center water usage by measuring the water consumption of their power sources? That's not something the data center operator can control easily. Should they also measure water usage per employee?

The section on direct evaporative cooling was interesting and was what I was expecting but then you have evaporative losses seemingly bundled in with the upstream water usage of their power sources. I have probably 20 or 30 gallons of water in my hydronic heating system but because it's a closed loop system it doesn't actually consume that much water year over year unless it's leaking. So it's certainly possible to move a lot of BTUs in or out of a space using comparatively little water.

I was expecting a lot more meat on the bone in the form of some analysis of speculative numbers in the conclusion.
Yeah, that's true for basically all of the public charging networks. EVGo, Blink, and Chargepoint have struggled to attract investment and also to reach profitability.

The big winners are likely to be complementary businesses.
I think the reality is that most people home charge. You typically only use fast chargers when you go on road trips, or do an unusual amount of driving.
I think it is very strange how politicized the topic is in the USA, and the level of interest. I think many Americans see it as symbolic of their own personal political pet interests.

This is a big pet peeve of mine, I can't think of a reason to ever send a docx or similar over email - if it's not done yet then it should be somewhere we can both access it so we don't end up with different versions, and if it is done then PDFs are easier to work with.

I think it's habit more than anything - if you've been using Word for 20 years and there wasn't a better option than email you're likely to continue that instead of taking time to learn a new workflow

Uploading word documents to Teams like that is extra ironic because Teams uses SharePoint to store attachments, so you're taking more steps to do the same thing and end up with less functionality

Yeah same, wayback also seems to be lacking a backup so that can't really be used either.
I have a suspicion that a lot of people are nodding along because they don't want to seem like the village idiot.
It would be incredible if AMD made some open source moves with their FPGAs as they did with their GPUs. That would allow open source tools like Yosys and nextptr to work with them easily vs. the painstaking reverse engineering efforts this now requires. Xilinx Vivado is a massive beast of a thing.

> Oceanic hydrothermal vents teem with anaerobic life which uses a lot of interesting chemistries instead, e.g. based on sulfur.

Yeah, but none of that anaerobic life is "multicellular life with energy-intensive things like muscles and complex brains." It's all bottom of the food chain bacteria.

I'm of the belief that in such a situation, a pre-cognitive decline "living will" or dead man switch is appropriate.

If I were diagnosed with dementia, I'd build automation to ensure that I'd appear to die a natural death when I enter the steep slope of cognitive decline. It's as easy as tying the results of frequent cognitive tests into a moving average that triggers my medication dispenser to start mixing in a toxin and or substituting key medication that keeps me alive with a sugar pill. These days, without the right medication, I'd be dead from "natural causes" in a week.

Look, I understand you have been burned, but to jump from your anecdotal "authorities in the EU abusing GDPR" to a universal "[a]s with all laws in Europe, GDPR has a chief purpose to be abused by the rulers" is quite a stretch.

You are free to believe what you want but it is getting old to say that people who do not agree with you are falling for some ruse. Maybe they know something you don't?
Electric companies have gotten very good at hiding and obfuscating their $/kwh. I can tell you instantly how expensive auto gasoline is in my area because prices are written in giant numbers on billboards next to each station. If you wanted me to quote my electricity costs, I’d have to scrutinize 12 months of bills, find the numbers in the small print, do some averaging because the cost varies throughout the day and has a complex tier system, then do more averaging across the year.
Stop Fearing Incidental Findings
Would you prefer to suffer through something like cancer, fully aware of your decline and unable to do anything but with the will to do so? Or just be completely unaware of what is going on but not necessarily in poor health? Dementia is certainly terrible in a unique and disturbing way for the afflicted and people that care about them, but Im not so sure some of the more understandable alternatives would be preferable.

> Musk haters are worse than the fanboys

I used to interact with an ex-coworker who is a normally an intelligent fellow. But when it comes to discussing Elon Musk, his IQ will drop a few points. He believed in bizarre conspiracies, like he thought Twitter was already going down and will be dead soon. He would cite me various legacy media propaganda articles on it. Sad to see smart folks letting their intelligence be compromised like this.
I've avoided accidents by hard breaking twice in the last two years, once from deer bounding into the road, and once from a deaf old cat walking into the street.

I haven't been cited for anything in decades, and have never been in an at-fault accident. I drive the speed limit and have a dashcam. With the deer, I was actually 10 MPH under the limit.

So should my rates go up for these incidents where I successfully avoided hitting something? Insurers are unscrupulous and would use any excuse.

No, thanks. I'll share nothing.

Because modern humans are _lonely_.

We yearn to see a reflection in the past that we recognize.

But the past and its people are strange to us, missing obvious things, obsessing over trivia.

> Because they don’t want the feature in the free version even if someone gave it to them

Gave it to them? They already have an implementation of this.

How is it a "gift" to spend unpaid time reviewing and merging a duplicate implementation, and then maintaining it forever, even though it likely has different dependencies and configuration option names than their existing implementation? And then after all that effort, all the maintainers get in return is a pay cut, if some paid users downgrade back to the free edition because they were only paying in order to use that feature?
It gets even more complicated when considering time of day rates, which are becoming more common in the U.S.

yes, yes, I acknowledge, you are not what I thought you'd be. I usually see that rhetoric from generic rootless urbanites who enjoy every perk of living in a post-industrial society and yet demand someone to do something to put an end to it all. I didn't expect to stumble upon a genuine masochist off-grid hippie living in a straw hut.

still, you have ignored my primary point: all measures to reduce usage of fossil fuels, reduce carbon emissions and slow down climate change require... usage of fossil fuels. mining, manufacturing, transportation across thousands of miles of land, sea and air. should we give it all up and retvrn to monke?
That interpretation only works if you desperately want the comment containing the phrase "the church" to be wrong. If you insist on this unusual interpretation, then yes, farming isn't at least five times older than the church. But if you go with the usual interpretation of "the church" as a metonym for Christianity, as was very clearly intended by the implications of the statement, it is correct.

Why not go talk to some Muslims about the Islamic church? Or some Hindus about the church of Shiva? I'm sure you'll find the discussion edifying!
