That assumes that price is entirely determined by energy cost, that you need to convert CO2 to a chemical with the same potential energy level as jet fuel, and that energy costs are the same and constant across sources. That’s not true.

Fuel accounts 30-50% of the costs of air travel. A straight doubling of fuel costs would not double air travel costs (although it would hurt)

The CO2 emitted from air travel wouldn’t necessarily need to be converted back to a very high energy molecule like jet fuel. I’m not a chemist, but I’m pretty sure there are polymers that you can bind the carbon into and not be nearly as energy intensive as recreating petroleum molecules.

Finally, wind and solar electricity generation are already generally cheaper than any fossil fuel generation besides nat gas. The EIA (via Wikipedia) had that at around 2x cheaper solar versus diesel generation, and solar and wind continue to see cost improvement.

All that being said, any carbon elimination scheme is going to have a cost, but the theoretical cost efficiency can be much better than if you assume energy is 1-1 with cost.
You were "curious" and not blaming but quick to downvote. Good way of showing curiosity.

If I understand you correctly, you are saying that the state allowed the pollution of a public owned area, and now you want a libertarian working solution after the fact. How does that make sense? The libertarian solution is, as I said, make the waters private. The owner will immediately sue the pollutant, to at least stop dumping waste. Reminder that the state is doing nothing at all.

Is anyone dumping thrash in your privately owned house? Why is that? Please, point me a privately owned area were someone who is not the owner openly and freely thrash the place without consequences.
That's mostly because unlike Wayland and some distro devs, KDE cares for their users. They substitute missing/unfinished Wayland features with quick and dirty custom implementations they intend to replace after they are finalized. So Plasma is not Wayland.

That said, even the bleeding edge Plasma 6 (which has the most complete Wayland support and then some) doesn't work well in Wayland mode yet, it has plenty of issues with drag-n-drop, cursors, portals, much-hyped fractional scaling, and many other things (I still can't calibrate my drawing tablet display, for example). The overall experience beyond very basic features is flaky and unfinished.

I'm not even starting on implicit/explicit sync debate, that's a complete shitshow that can only be blamed on Wayland devs (regardless of Nvidia).

Paint.net is great. I even purchased it from the Windows store even though you can install it for free outside of that channel. The one thing that does annoy me about it is that there's no way to dock the floating windows. I'm sure being able to rearrange them is great for some people's workflows but for me, I'd prefer them just to be docked to the main window. Maybe something like Visual Studio where everything can be docked to any side or completely undocked but just a everything docked option would be fine for me.
I'm pretty sure they don't insist on that.

Also we haven't built a collider that's even close to the collision energies of the SSC, which was cancelled mid-construction over 30 years ago. We're still playing catch-up.

I liked that the article begins with the Hoare quote "One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies" that was also the exact first thing I thought about when reading about the mess with the backdoor yesterday.
Yes, I have met Andres in real life and I can totally believe that he is that in tune with his system. He wrote that he found this while benchmark PostgreSQL and saw weird load from ssh. He does a lot of benchmarking of PostgreSQL patches.

But I would say it was also luck. If Andres hadn't been benchmarking on Debian Testing (or whatever system he found this on) this might have taken longer time to discover.

What you are talking about is hidden variable theory, Bells theorem shows that it is likely not the case, so quantum entanglement is likely real. Bells theorem has been tested experimentally so we know the world works as it says, the question is just how we interpret it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem
Makes sense to me, though I've noticed that it's surprisingly hard to find a good alternative test image. This one has:

- Fine directional texture (the weave of the hat, hair)

- Fine non-directed texture (the feathers)

- Fine detail (eye glint, lashes)

- Medium texture (reflected hair)

- Sharp edges

- Curved edges (mirror frame, shoulder)

- Smooth gradients (skin, blurred beams on left)

- A closeup face

- Color

- Strong contrasts

I'd love to see a consensus around a good alternative high-resolution test image that has a bit of all of that (and maybe with a Macbeth chart thrown in somewhere too) with appropriate licensing, but none of the suggested alternatives (e.g., cameraman, mandrill) that I've seen quite have everything or are of any better resolution.

One source that I have recently been using for test images for my experiments, though, is the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year finalists collection: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Ye...

As much as I agree with this article, it's not ready for everyone yet.

If you're using nVidia, everything that uses xwayland is still a flickery mess. Explicit sync patches are looking good, but those patches are not in a release of xwayland and the driver side is not yet available (but in my experience, just the xwayland support helps 99% of the problem).

KDE Plasma 5.x has a ton of bugs on Wayland that were fixed with 6.x. But 6.x hasn't filtered down to everyone yet. Plasma 6.x still has minor Wayland-specific bugs I've noticed that they're slowly cleaning up in the point releases.

Wayland only recently gained a real drag-and-drop protocol. Dragging windows, say, from a Chrome or Firefox session, doesn't work well. I've noticed Chrome beta implements the new protocol and it works great, but still unavailable.

It's almost there though. Wayland's massive performance improvement over Xorg, and its robustness (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4HnwqidYFo) has convinced me to stay.

And it's the clear future. Most Xorg development has moved to Wayland.

Until recently bears were restricted to highest mountains of national park, with strict environmental protection. Over last 10 years they spread to heavily populated areas.

So bear actually did not kill her? I guess it just wanted to play fetch! Typical victim blaming from animal lovers.

Multiple displays work on X11 by having one big canvas/virtual display, and having each monitor show the contents of a part of that canvas.

There are some restrictions because of this. One is that per display scaling is unsupported in the worst case, or a hack in the best case.

Another is that the virtual display is always a rectangle, meaning that if you have different resolution displays, you end up with some parts of the canvas not being displayed anywhere. Most window managers and desktop environments know not to place window contents or UI chrome there (like panels), but the space is still there, and you can see this when using screenshot utilities which simply write the whole canvas to a file. Your mouse pointer can also hide in these invisible sections.

Getting X11 to display content on video outputs located on different video cards from different vendors can sometimes feel like a dark art, but other than that it mostly just works.

This was only a matter of time. Open source projects are under-staffed, maintainers are overworked and burned out, and everyone relies on the goodwill of all actors.

Obviously a bad actor will make use of these conditions and the assumption of good will.

In addition to cars, I'm a cyclist and have noticed that LED cycle lights, both front and back, can also be far too bright sometimes. Blinding in fact. A few years ago, I was behind a bike which had such a high powered rear (red) LED light that I had to drop back to get away from it. It reminded me of the sort of powerful red light an airport might have. For bikes, it sometimes felt like an "arms race" in brightness.
There were experiments back in the day. Slashdot had one system based on randomly assigned moderation duty which worked pretty great actually, except that for the longest time you couldn't sort by it.

Kuro5hin had a system which didn't work at all, as you mentioned.

But the best was probably Raph Levien's Advogato. That had a web of trust system which actually worked. But had a pretty limited scope (open source devs).

Now everyone just slaps an upvote/downvote button on and calls it a day.
That doesn't sound right.

Do data dump from prod for initial sync and then setup replication from RDS to new cluster. Once synced do switch. Then you're off RDS and can shard on Citus.
There's many reasons why X11 is not great today, like it's security model and it's hardware abstraction model. But it's been working for almost 4 decades, and its user experience has been improved for most of that time.

I mostly use Wayland nowadays, but there are still times I need to switch to X11 to get things to work.

Telling me this is because the software I use is bad is not at all helpful. I'm trying to get something done, and sometimes I can't choose different software and almost never do I have the ability or time to fix it if it doesn't work on Wayland.

I do think about how expensive and unbuildable on scale fuel-cells are, not counting it's slow ability to change output power that demand batteries in the middle for most usages. Beside that we need way too much energy for hydrolysis.

Yes you can make something that work, like you can in most part of inhabited world build autonomous homes with giant batteries and p.v., but it's so expensive and can't be done for all at a point we can call it a myth.

I have a domestic p.v. + small storage + a limited V2L ability from my BEV to power the main battery inverter just to have a really expensive UPS that last enough to pay back a bit, and well... That's just enough for emergency (car usage, limited to 3kW maximum) or sunny day-to-sunny day autonomy without heating when there is no sunshine. I feel the costs and the limits on the most mature and available tech without to dream monsters like Toyota Mirai.

An old discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskEngineers/comments/wrv59o/commen...
If this is indeed a cost effective way to convert CO2 to more useful chemicals, then it will encourage more CO2 emission into the atmosphere, not less. Industries that are currently CO2 polluting will be encouraged to produce more CO2 so that it can be converted into CO. Some of that additional CO2 will inevitably escape into the atmosphere. As long as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is below the concentration of CO2 in the ground then we'll need a carbon tax to discourage its release in the atmosphere.

But think about it - when was the last time you actually got a good comparison in this market between allegro and a dedicated e-commerce site? For many product categories the latter almost doesn't even exist anymore.
Much more people on that extremely small area actually need to drive - because they have reduced mobility, because they are carrying a lot of stuff, goods, materials or tools... Reducing NYC to one lane would stop all life in the city. You can drive through Amsterdam too in these cases - it works because incomparably less people need to.

There's also the problem of mass transit - you can't simply have enough bus/tram lines to cover people's needs if you have so many people who need to go everywhere around the city at one place. You'd have to build an incredibly number of subway lines like Chinese cities have, which is a huge investment.

New York City is privately owned.

Before automobiles horse shit was everywhere.

The horse shit issue went away thanks to a change in technology which replaced a visible issue with a less visible one.

Today, as a consequence of industry, the air is polluted, perhaps if someone "owned" the atmosphere?

Today, as a consequence fo fossil fuel usage, the mean tempreture is rising like a slow train wreck - with consequences beginning now and increasing with time.

An efficient system would have addressed and averted these problems when first highlighted in the 1970s rather than allow Koch et al to hire tobacco apologist media companies and think tanks to spred climate FUD for decades.

Early action, early pivoting to renewable development and small more efficient vehicles would have been magnitudes cheaper and more productive in the long term than kicking the can down through time for 50 years while the problem grew and spread to other economies.
I don't know where you get this idea, my Chevy Volt is perfectly capable of reaching 70mph+ while holding the battery level steady (in the Hold mode)
I think UK drivers also agree. It’s like lots of people are driving around with their high beams on. They aren’t because if they were you’d wouldn’t be able to look at them at all.

They are 20% too bright and all too cold.
IMHO it's not the brightness, it's the contrast --- a diffuse field of light at the same brightness wouldn't be quite as uncomfortable as the sharp contrast between light and dark they create, and this goes for the one whose car has the headlights and the one being shone at. In my experience, newer brighter lights also means a sharper cutoff so there's a very bright area immediately in front of the vehicle followed by a very dark and invisible one, while the old incandescent style headlights tended to be dimmer overall and fade out gradually, so it seemed like visibility was actually better despite the lower brightness.

I wonder if ECE vs SAE patterns also have something to do with it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headlamp#Construction,_perform...
Also this statement:

Contradicts your argument.

Mongo has atomic updates to update specific fields, or you can do replaceOne() etc to replace the whole document.

While PG only gives you "replace" with JSON.

So I guess postgres isn't worth anything. :)
Going forward this will require more than a citizens investigation. Law enforcement will surely be granted access. Also, tarballs are still available in package managers if you really want to dig into the code.

Jia Tan getting maintainer access looks like it is almost certainly to be part of the operation. Lasse Colling mentioned multiple times how Jia has helped off-list and to me it seems like Jia befriended Lasse as well (see how Lasse talks about them in 2023).

Also the pattern of astroturfing dates back to 2022. See for example this thread where Jia, who has helped at this point for a few weeks, posts a patch, and a <name><number>@protonmail (jigarkumar17) user pops up and then bumps the thread three times(!) lamenting the slowness of the project and pushing for Jia to get commit access: https://www.mail-archive.com/xz-devel@tukaani.org/msg00553.h...

No, sorry. It just doesn't work for me. Tastes differ, I guess.

I found most of his works to be typical of "put something big in a gallery and it looks amazing". Also, I feel annoyed by people who claim so much space. Not to say that his work is bad or useless -- I just don't like it.

Perhaps if I read more about his intentions I might change my mind. But the appreciation sure isn't immediate for me.
That's been pretty much the opposite of my experience, but I can definitely see why it would make a minimalist, or a natural first principles thinker miserable.

I think that's probably it. I.e. it's a nobody-cares issue. Looking at the older posts, there's some serious issues with lzip too (looks like corruption-related) that got a less than stellar response from the author.

Just quickly tested lzip vs zstd -9 on a 100 megabyte text file. zstd is almost as good but many times faster. I wonder if the lzip author's work got obsolete.

I skimmed the manual of lzip a bit. The author likes to talk a lot about how everything is done correctly in lzip and there's this line line "The lzip format specification has been reviewed carefully and is believed to be free from design errors. " If you type lzip --help it talks about how it's better than bzip2 or gzip.

Maybe they are right but ugh comes off real arrogant.

Server-side rendering still makes sense, because the server (the user's laptop or phone) has its own dedicated GPU, and the client (racked in a shared datacenter) likely doesn't. So I think we'll keep seeing browser frontends for everything.
