That would have been close 15 years ago. We are already way behind, and suffering warming effects with droughts, and fires, and heat waves, and floods etc. :-(

> Cars last a long time so every ICE sold today is ~26 years of pollution locked in.

I would actually guess that 26 years is more of a maximum rather than an average. But regardless - regulatory measures could enforce increasingly more strict pollution limits, which would make it so that the more polluting cars will not be able to be driven legally without some expensive modifications to capture emissions internally. In fact, this already happens in many countries today, forcing decades-old, super-polluting car models off the road. And the availability of gasoline distribution stations could decrease etc.

You could look up the original Bureau of Land Management charter by congress, which does in fact mandate that the BLM's charter[1] is to manage federal lands with the goals of sustained resource yield:

> The Congress declares that it is the policy of the United States that goals and objectives be established by law as guidelines for public land use planning, and that management be on the basis of multiple use and sustained yield unless otherwise specified by law.[4]

They are managed to balance interests to ensure long-term needs, not cannot simply declare that timber, minerals, etc are off-limits:

> The government must consider "a combination of balanced and diverse resource uses that takes into account the long-term needs of future generations for renewable and nonrenewable resources, including, but not limited to, recreation, range, timber, minerals, watershed, wildlife and fish, and natural scenic, scientific and historical values."

The deal was very explicitly that federal land was to be managed to avoid a tragedy of the commons with regards to resource extraction. Resource extraction was one of the primary goals mandated by congress and no, they cannot simply decide they don't want to.

> People respond to their environment, or their circumstances, or whatever else by making decisions.

And their decisions vary based on their environment and circumstances. Alter the environment, and you can easily get better decisions and results.

One thing some people do when trying to adopt a healthier diet is to change where they keep healthy vs unhealthy food in their house, to make healthier food more convenient and unhealthy food less convenient. They alter their environment to encourage better moment-to-moment decisions. We can choose as a society to do the same thing.

The point is not to make unhealthy decisions literally impossible; it's virtually always possible to make unhealthy or healthy choices, but how easy or hard they are can vary quite a bit. The point is to make healthier decisions the easy, default option.

But expected evaluation is a feature, and not everyone wants to inject a permissions system that gets in the way every time you open a document. Not everything is a web browser that needs to run arbitrary code from arbitrarily bad actors.

A warning and a prompt would largely be useless in this case anyway. As soon as you'd click the prompt, the evil code would run. What you'd need is an option set in your init file to allow code to execute on opening only if a particular piece of information known only to you is included in the file, like #+runcode: a19ihlkn01nf2n9882n4337974biskjf

Does this analogy consider the costs involved with sending out the police? When the compiler is wrong, do armed agents of the state with broad discretion to employ violence in the commission of their duties get dispatched? What is the potential opportunity cost of inefficiently using the compiler vs the police choosing to respond to a shotspotter alert over a potently more accurate signal?

To be really clear, I think the risk profile of a false positive in terms of a compiler vs police dispatch is the difference between the potential waste of pennies compared to the potential waste of human lives.

Brackets have a special meaning in the UNIX shell since the earliest times.

Together with "*" and "?", the brackets "[" and "]" have been used by the UNIX shell since some of its earliest versions (already many years before the Bourne shell) in pattern matching for pathname expansion (globbing).

For example, if you have in a directory 3 files named "file1", "file2" and "file3", then

"ls file?" will output

file1 file2 file3

while "ls file[13]" will output

file1 file3

Free to Use Copilot (AI code assistant)
I have some papers from the late 90s. I purposefully saved them in rtf to make them more portable, but they are mangled now. Not sure if the standard changed or the files are corrupt. I suppose I should have wrote everything in plain text, but who has that kind of forethought in high school…
Brackets are used in shell wildcard ("glob") expressions. For example, if you try to use "[bar]" as a command, the shell will first look for files named "b", "a", and "r" in the current directory, and if it finds any it'll use the first one as the command name and any others as arguments to it.

But as far as I can see, using a close-bracket as the first character in a command is safe, since it cannot be treated as part of such a pattern. Open-bracket (without a matching close-bracket) would work in many shells, but will get you a "bad pattern" error in zsh.
Most likely something I did a wrong `touch` on.

Singapore is a follower. Whatever they're in to happened elsewhere 2 years before.

More broadly, it's not really about cell-cultured meat. It's about producing any kind of protein whatsoever which can be ingratiated in to the food supply chain anywhere. The huge success in culturally normalizing the consumption of 'beef balls' and similar '<highly processed, derivative, nominal protein identity> balls' in markets like Thailand to my critical eye largely stem from the beef ball factories of Shantou in Guangdong. Make no mistake: those people are making bank selling total bunk for real bucks.

Poverty will be the driver.

Economically, it's hard to pass up plants. They've literally evolved over millions of years to produce the goods using almost nothing in resource terms. Somehow the world just needs to learn to love Indian food and stop expecting protein and lipid dense meals.

original opposition to lexical binding in Lisp circles was that lexical would be slower. That turned out to be false.

Netflix dropping to potato quality after a few minutes is infuriating. Refresh the browser and quality goes back up for a few minutes before it drops again.

Her criticisms of violin plots seem to be (1) they combine histogram-style information with box-plot-style information, when you generally would only want one or the other [ie: don't use boxplot for bimodal, don't use histogram when boxplot suffices], (2) The histogram-style information is not comparable between blobs of data, since they're not visually aligned, have no tick marks, etc — a plain histogram is better for this, and (3) she finds them ugly on a personal level.

EDIT: Maybe she'd be fine with using them in an exploratory manner. She seems to mainly be complaining about using them in publications, meant for other people to consume. Also: I did not watch the entire video (:
