I mean, it says right there in the article:

>Even upping the total to 400 megatonnes, however, is not especially comforting given that our annual carbon emissions are well over 350 gigatonnes. "Even under a best-case scenario and when accounting for this gap," Johnston and Radeloff write, "the global potential of [wood products] as a carbon sink is minor and always less than 1 percent of emissions."

Less than 1 percent of yearly emissions. It's good there are countries where that percent is higher, but sadly when it comes to CO2 emissions, it's the global result that matters. We not only have to get to zero our current emissions, but we also have to bury back the historic CO2.

Cut me a break. In Go and Rust it's still easy to compile old code, and these languages have very strong backwards compatibility guarantees. You might need to compile it with a flag enabled, but it is going to compile and work.

Having the ability to improve on past language design mistakes over the years by deprecating old ways in favor of new ones is nice, and the burden of migration is generally minimal (or can be done automatically).
No need to ban it. Just automaticly award full salary for 2x the noncompete period they put in your contract, payable in full a week after contract termination.
it works. if it aint broke dont fix it!
Martin Gutmann's recent talk ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0Z9IpTVfUg ) supports your point. While Shackleton is celebrated for overcoming disaster, Admunsen reached the south pole by avoiding disaster in the first place. Yet despite Admunsen being more effective, he is not celebrated to the same degree (at least in the US) as Shackleton.

I struggled with understanding Mersenne primes here because

1) 2ⁿ-1 is odd numbers and primes so what's special about that? and

2) Because I have no memory of being taught that subscript denotes position in a set. So I guess I blew past the Mₙ= part.
you know what I really want?

Agreed -- I purposefully avoided saying "AI" instead of "LLMs" because LLMs aren't all that's required for AI to replace programmers. And my guess is that it will be a long time until AI replaces programmers.

> Moving ssh off of port 22 makes it a pain in the ass to work with. Ports are standardized for a reason.

yes, they were standardized in the ol' good times :) If you have a limited amount of people/services connecting then it is manageable. But of course YMMV.

> Authentication attempts are a useful security signal; I don't want to filter them out. I want hosts running dictionary attacks to not be able to connect to my services in the first place. If you are running an SSH bot, then I don't want you on my website or anything else.

enumeration and brute force on SSH fail by design when using keys.

As for other services I do not see how this helps - you will block random IPs hoping that a vulnerable site is not taken over if they happen to get back. It is not common (at least in my monitoring of several honeypots in various locations) to have the same IP being particularly visible. Sure they are back sometimes but this is quite exceptional.
Anyway - it is not worth the hassle, better have proper hardening.
what software is rpi only ? honest question
there is no way to verify that’s real though. Anyone could have a friend write a letter for them and say it’s from an old boss.

when you have current employees talking about former employees on behalf of the company, that is the same thing as the company talking about them.
Depends on how much swap you have. If you have a little (0.5-1 GB), you'll catch the extraordinary bursts that are handleable, without getting to the trashes to hard to finally die. And you have a handy dandy thing to monitor to show when you're actually under memory pressure.
No, it's not remotely the same.

The US is using the fact that people want to do business with them to coerce compliance, and as written the law only applies to US persons.

The EU claims the GDPR applies globally, regardless of if people want to do business with the EU, or even if people ever set foot in the EU. It's amusing nonsense.
Isn't the reason more about limiting currency. Most of the crypto bros all hate the money printers.

The fact that faster hashers will come about just adds some natural competition, but it's still about limiting money supplies.

I agree omitting is usually OK especially if it's not relevant.

Omitting entire jobs if the experience isn't particularly relevant (particularly if it was a long time ago) can be OK. I omit that I worked at McDonald's when I was 17 in the 1990s when I am applying for a job in 2024. But if there are gaps in employment history you might be asked about it, especially if it's recent.

Something like fudging employment dates along with omitting some jobs to disguise that you are a job-hopper gets into a much more grey area.

I was surprised to learn that lying about employment history to hide that you are a salter was protected. I get that salting might be protected, but did not expect that lying on an application would be.

Nope. Not even close.

Practically the GDPR law has no teeth at all because its claim of extraterritorial jurisdiction is nothing but nonsense.

FATCA applies because the US has a carrot or stick to enforce it.

Also, the US law as written is entirely reasonable and doesn't try to claim the law applies to US citizens anywhere in the world.
The EU claims their law applies globally regardless of if people set foot in or do business in the EU. According to the EU, an EU citizen just needs to visit a site and the law applies, regardless of where the site is hosted.

According to the EU, the GDPR applies to some small shop owner in China with a website that harvests all data it can that isn't advertising in the EU, courting EU citizens in any way, has no business with the EU, etc.
I get that it has multiple meanings. And others should get that if someone is a nice guy he's probably not like the archetype in that book.

The article provides zero insight beyond anecodes. The fact a a specialist ebike repair company sees lots of broken ebikes tells you practically nothing about the frequency of problems. The anecdote about 5 failures in a warranty period sounds a bit suspicious and if true is probably a combination of bad luck and extreme usage, or possibly a design flaw in a specific bike model. It's also from a forum post from 5 years ago . That said, as a Bosch ebike owner myself, I'd love to see some decent stats on reliability of different systems. Had no problems myself so far and love it.
Has anyone else had thermal management problems with the pi5? I have one running just a couple of servers tucked away on a shelf and a corner of a room, and I find myself needing to physically recycle power on the thing about once every few days (This on top of the daily auto reboot script I have set up as a cron job). I suspect the Wi-Fi is overheating it.

They key with many of these manipulative sales techniques is that they are on rare purchases for which the buyer has little knowledge. Most people don't buy homes, cars, mattresses, with any regularity so whatever badwill you generate will be irrelevant 10-20 years down the line and likely born by a different seller.

Like healthcare, it's hard to treat individual private buyers as an efficient market. Housing has become more like NFTs and memestonks (It can only go up!)... which is true until it isn't and everything goes down. Supporting prices through leverage and regulatory control is now so ingrained that it's hard to do price discovery. (edit: strangely, like memecoins you can actually overbuild a lot of housing like in China and keep prices going up for up to a decade out of sheer buyer momentum)
Having used a ton of vendor Linux BSPs over the years, I can say that often they’re not trying to lock you in to a particular approach when they describe how to EG blink an led. Rather they’re demonstrating that it can be done somehow. Every vendor expects you to take their demo code, evaluate it, and make decisions on your own to get to a working system. I’ve seen a lot of employers get into trouble over the years by shipping the vendor’s code unmodified. Even for LED blinking I might use the vendor’s code as a jumping off point and use the LED subsystem to implement different blink rates. But if I’m using EG a TI AM3359 I might want to go the direct register route instead of the LED is used by the real time coprocessor instead in my application. Usually more hands-on distributors like Arrow have Application Support Engineers who can advise for a particular board so you’re not stuck crawling vendor message boards for advice.

> Claiming jurisdiction by server location is the stupidest thing ever if you trying to have any kind of customer protection laws. You have to go by customer location.

I disagree, because that's impossible. That's why the EU's attempt is largely a joke. Literally - it seems to get mocked a lot when I tried reading up on the credibility and practicality of what they claim.

> However, the claim that they have jurisdiction over EU citizens abroad is very questionable.

It's the claim that they have jurisdiction over non-EU citizens and businesses in their own countries which is so laughable.

What does free market mean, in this particular case, even philosophically?

Non-compete, as in preventing people from selling their labour, a violation of free market? Or is stopping people from agreeing to non-competes, a violation of free market?

Is allowing a man to sell himself into slavery free market, or is banning such practice something that helps to ensure the market stays free?

The more American idea of a free market is a kind of natural law of the jungle, where the strongest wins.

The more European idea of free market is that it can only exist with rigorous protections and watchful eye of a government

But there isn't a labor law supporting that. It's simply an anticompetitive corporate policy.

I think these are great options for where pis aren't needed. Over the years I've seen a deluge of "I needed a microcontroller but didn't know what that was so I used a pi" and "I needed little more than a docker image but I didn't know what that was so I used a pi". The pi really comes in handy when you need the combo of the 2. Otherwise, people are just jacking up the price for those who really do need it. And that's not me, but rather people I've known who had great use cases and couldn't buy them.
Thanks for introducing me to the concept of deontological ethics!

It's been fascinating to read up on something about which my thoughts were only half-formed.
The pi has a lot of exposed pins and associated hardware capabilty. That was an intrinsic part of it's design. It's what got me interested in electronics again. Any comparison should include that. It was never meant to be just a computer.

I can directly contradict this from my time managing the booking (last step) page on agoda.com. One of the first things I tried was putting a countdown timer on the page: “we are holding this booking for you for five minutes. After that we’ll release it back into inventory” That produced an immediate ~1% jump in bookings.

Oh I understand it. But do you see the big picture here? People should be sueing for them not writing the letter. The NLRB should be taking cases for this as well. This is almost as anticompetitive as non-competes.

Edit: shouldn't have said for not writing the letter, just for a policy forbidding the writing of letters.

Remember when the Pi first came out, it was cheap for small hobby projects. Rpi 5 is $80? At these prices you might as well get a refurb x86 micro pc.
For the curious - it looks like this uses the Allwinner F1C100S, which is a 533MHz single-core ARMv7 with 32MB of onboard DRAM.

What other parts are out there that are similar to this? It would be fun to play with one that has a little more RAM, and maybe a faster clock rate.
I've been using some of these off-brand n100 mini PCs as a homelab cluster for the past year or so.

Their physical size is smaller than a Raspberry Pi with case, and performance is more than twice a RPi5. And you get full x86 software compatibility. Idle power is around 4-5W measured from the wall.

Completely depends on intended use case. If your goal is good compute and connectivity, a used minipc or a new N100 is the obvious choice.

If you need GPIO, the Pi is the obvious choice.

I end up with multiple N100 systems and a single RaspberryPi.

> nobody owes you a letter of recommendation

It some countries they do. A friend sued his former employer because the letter of recommendation he got was not good enough. Strange thing is they agreed and also contacted him to come back working for them. But it depends on the country, in some countries letters of recommendation are very rare, I wrote a couple in more than 20 years, basically every time someone that worked for or with me asked for one.
Some of these conflict:

> Encourage a complex dev setup: running a service mesh with a dozen services at a minimum.

...

> Build in-house versions of almost anything that's not a core competency.

So if you need functionality A, B, C ... H, what do you do? Do you build them all in-house or do you have 9 different services each providing the functionality required?
Once I had a dog and I watched him as he slept. One minute, he suddenly started moving the tips of his paws as if he were running somewhere. A moment later, he began to move his jaw as if he started to eat something. Right after that, a bit more paw movement, and he began to smack his tongue as if he were drinking something. Then again, he started moving his paws as if he ran off somewhere. So: he ran to the bowl of food, ate, went over to the bowl of water, drank some water, and ran off again. A little while later, he woke up. That’s when I invited him to eat. Since that time, I have never doubted either that animals have some kind of consciousness or that animals can dream.

'I've agonised over this': Suspected foreign interference victims break silence
Almost everything can be modified or configured to run on another system, but it’s pretty common for RPi to be the default or best-tested platform.
To prove this would require being able to very clearly define consciousness, but we know that consciousness is not “a thing”— it’s rather “a collection of things”, and it’s not either there or not; rather it’s largely a question of degree. And I don’t just mean this as inter-species variation either: even if we only look at humans, humans exhibit the whole spectrum and/or patchwork of states of consciousness, both developmentally and pathologically. And to some extent, physiologically too.

I find it annoying how we’re even entertaining the idea that animals wouldn’t be conscious. Like what does that even mean?

All these people who aren’t convinced that animals are conscious… I’d really like to know what specific behaviour would convince them one way or another. Pick pretty much any behaviour, and you’ll find animals (and even insects) displaying it.
