That argument applies to my personal electricity bill too.

I buy my power from a company that supplies 100% regenerative power and gets most of its power from new generation facilities, 350 of them so far. Those 350 deliver power to about a half-million people, which obviously took market share away from existing fossil plants and pushed the market prices down.

So by that test, what action does not prolong the use of fossil fuel? You're making the test much too strict.
Even simpler answer - acceptance of humanity's addiction to fossil energy and the inevitable outcome. We started an anthropic fire a million years ago and it's only going to be extinguished when we are.
Not OP or a parent, but this is absolutely a fear of mine. I don't think I'd be actively bad for them, passively lacking in critical areas like emotional support.

Hell, I don't have the energy or social skills to get to that point. Either I or the other person move on, so I just optimize the process.
Going to copy/paste from a comment I posted a year or so ago.
I have a 12th gen Framework 13", 13" M1 Air, and a 15" M2 Air. I use the Framework laptop for work because I need to use Linux.

The Framework laptop is mediocre just like pretty much all PC laptops. The hinges are awful, if you pick up the laptop upright, about 50% of the time the screen falls flat 180 degrees.

The trackpad is arse in Linux. If you're lucky you can probably get 5 hours battery life, but on a realistic workload you're looking at 2-3 hours.

The keyboard is pretty nice, but I wish ctrl/fn is swapped like Apple and it has the inverted mini-T keyboard arrows (or at least I wish someone would make a swappable keyboard for the Framework). The speakers are bloody awful. Display/Webcam/Mic are fine. I would like more ports over modular ports, but I appreciate the design that went into the modular ports. Speaking of modular ports, sometimes they abruptly stop working and require removing and reseating.

All these small nits really add up and it just feels like a mediocre experience. It is my work laptop, but I try my best to avoid using it over my PC with WSL2 or either Air laptop, but I try my best not to mix work and personal. Both the 13" M1 Air and 15" M2 Air are just amazing compared to the Framework, and I suspect PC laptops in general. They have their drawbacks, price (gouging in some ways), less ports, can't drive dual displays, but their trackpad, finish, speakers, etc. are just amazing. I personally prefer MacOS to Linux for a desktop experience as well.

For one C++ project I work on I need 32GB of memory to compile as sometimes the oom-killer will kill the compiler. That's one of the only reasons I use my WSL2 desktop or Framework laptop since memory is cheap.
Is fine. Imaginary internet points are just imaginary internet points.

How is the Signal thing related? There seems to be an indication that getting banned on LinkedIn will prevent you from signing up to Signal. I don't think it was intended to be read as such but language is really weird:

> But tried to install Signal couple of days later from App store. And you guess the rest.

No, no I did not guess that getting banned on LinkedIn would prevent you from signing in to Signal.

I can see Microsoft using some system across their sites, which would affect your Github account, if you're blocked or banned on LinkedIn. It would be a pretty excessive, but I can imagine such a system. As to how Signal is involved I have no idea.
The only reason LinkedIn works as a job search site is because of the number of users they have. They do almost nothing to be a job search site. It's just another social network with a 'jobs' category for posts.

"Accept" specifies a MIME type preference.
This is kinda ideal tbh. I like how, for instance, F-Droid warns users about anti-features and integrations with proprietary web services. Clear messaging about problematic software + freedom to nonetheless choose those problematic options is great.

That said, I don't think this is the way the FSF evaluates software, or that they'd treat an open protocol like this. I could imagine a warning like this about integrating with a proprietary language server in particular, though— and I'd be grateful for it! A locally-run AI assistant that cared about things like that would be super cool.
>> Most states have laws that you can't modify an exhaust to be louder than the stock exhaust

Not the big ones. California only limits to 95db, regardless of what stock was. And what is "stock"? Like new? Mufflers start to wear out, getting louder, the moment a car is first started. Not everyone can afford to drive a new car, or even keep replacing the muffler every couple years to maintain some notion of "stock" tailpipe sound. Some of the loudest cars/trucks are simply those old enough to have broken mufflers.

And people with deliberately loud cars want loud cars. If it wasnt mufflers it would be loud sound systems. If not those then it would be loud horns.
Considering your posts were so egregious even the mods took action against them, you actually showed everyone you are most likely a bot/sockpuppet/radical of some sort.

> It is your responsibility to try.

I don't agree that I have any responsibilities on the internet. (edit: Outside of ones I come up with.)

> One of the best guidelines established for HN, is that you should always be kind.

Kindness is subjective, I was not trying to be actively unkind. It's just that the more you attempt to appear kind across every possible metric the more difficult and time consuming it is to write something. I had already put in a lot of effort to read the article, analyse the code within it, and analyse the code behind it. You have to stop at some point, and inevitably someone out there will still find what you wrote to be unkind. I just decided to stop earlier than I would if I was writing a blog post.

> "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

This is not a useful adage to live by. If you pay someone to fix your plumbing and they make it worse, certainly this won't help you. Likewise, If people post bad advice on a website lots of people frequent and nobody challenges it, lots of people without the experience necessary to know better will read it and be influenced by it.

> You are not supposed to be a reaction bot; HN is not the journal for your unfiltered thoughts and opinions.

I think it's unkind to call what I wrote an unfiltered thought/opinion/reaction. You should respect that it:

* Takes a lot of time and experience before you can make these kinds of remarks

* Takes effort to read the post, evaluate what is written in it, write a response, and verify you are being fair and accurate.

* Takes even more effort to then read the entire script, and perform a code review.

If I had looked at the title and headlines and written "This is shit, please don't read it." then I think you would have a point but I didn't do that.

More to the point, a substantial number of people seem to have felt this was useful information and upvoted both the comments.

> Despite how easy it would be, you cannot and must not simply write replies. Absolutely everything (yes, everything) written here should assume the best, and be in good faith. Authors and the community deserve that much.

I prefaced my first comment by pointing out that the people who make the mistakes I outlined are usually well meaning. My critique was concise and could be seen as cold but it was not written in bad faith.

My main point of dislike is that I have never experienced the actual practices called "Agile" on the ground by the consultants/managers introducing them bearing any relation to the oft-quoted Agile manifesto.

"Value individuals and interactions over processes and tools", says the Agile consultant as they open the meeting; they then proceed to shut down any interaction between individuals that is not on the agenda, or that is on the agenda but takes longer than a sentence or two.

"Value working software over comprehensive documentation", says the Agile consultant as they open the sprint planning. "These tickets should contain enough detail that a new hire coming to them cold can pick up the work."

"Value customer collaboration over contract negotiation", says the Agile consultant. "Value responding to change over following a plan. Also, these items must be delivered by end of Q4; let's schedule some meetings with management to discuss why the team's burndown chart is going up and not down."

Agile is like true communism: always preached, never reached. It is a fig leaf for toxicity. The ideal true Agile practitioner cannot be faulted; and you will never encounter them. The word "Agile", when encountered in real-world corporate scenarios, does not mean the things described in the manifesto, though the manifesto will often be quoted; rather, hearing it invariably means the frog has reached boiling temperature and it is well past time for anyone who can still flee to flee.

"Agile consultant" is the modern term for an outsider that management have brought in to whip the thoroughbreds so that the resulting negativity falls on the outside party - which can then be let go again - and not anyone permanently employed by the company. We may want the word to mean nicer things, but that is not how it is actually used.

> It's not just personal/financial. It's also raw capability of a diesel truck to get the particular type of jobs done.

What I was saying is not that electric solved all problems yet, but that messing with electric and trade-offs in decisions there only really affect you. Messing with a diesel, the trade-offs affect everyone around you - a bit a power paid by everyone else's cancer risk and deteriorating environment. That's not a decision you should be allowed to make for moral reasons.

With DPF/cat, you do have a risk for expensive service: If you completely neglect it, intentionally run a very sooty tune and never do the (usually automatic) cleaning cycle. At that point, it'll clog up, break, and need to be replaced. But that's easy to avoid, and not something that ups your service interval either. You would also get extremely expensive repairs if you don't change and monitor engine oil, but no trucker would consider it a big deal.

That Rivian only tows 5.5 tons is probably just a matter of demand. Even if it has its uses, I imagine the actual demand for towing 20 tons on personal vehicle is quite low. It could also be that they deemed that the battery range would be too silly at these loads, which is luckily an area of with quite rapid improvement these days - battery range has come a long way.

Also note that you definitely don't need to mess with emissions to tow 20 tons. Messing with EGR grants you zero additional power. Removing DPF and catalytic converter can give you a little bit, but not enough to go from being unable to tow 20 tons to being able, and if you need to tow 20 tons you should start out by buying a truck rated to tow 20 tons as more engine power is not enough to do that safely.

> A lot of the shops did the deletes on trucks that can tow

Don't trust the sales pitch from the tuning shops that sell the mods.

> Cue up a bunch of anecdotes of how the "old diesel engines were reliable and bulletproof"

Heh, those statements are not entirely false, but they forget important details. Some of the engines old-timers might be fondly remembering as indestructible have dual digit HP ratings, at the size and fuel consumption of something rated in the hundreds of HP today.

It's not hard to build an indestructible engine if you don't have to care about size, weight, fuel efficiency, power or responsiveness.

Reportedly neither Intel nor AMD are willing to support you if you’re developing firmware with S3 support for a platform using their recent CPUs (I believe that means ≥ 13th gen resp. ≥ Zen 4 but I’m not sure).
That, or it is a trap to catch time travelers. :)
The number of users they have is _the_ reason they’re generally better than the competition. It’s a social networking site dedicated to finding jobs/employees for people. It has slightly better features then a lot of other job listing sites, but the main reason it’s better than the other ones (outside of certain niches), is that it has more job seekers and more job posters on it.

Other sites will typically just have less jobs posted, less users, and marginally worse features. If you can’t find a job on LinkedIn, going to a slightly worse version of the same thing probably won’t be the change you’re looking for.

> I’m very aware that the spoils of work sometimes get distributed unfairly.

Most company owners are, especially those that involve manufacturing in countries with low wages. What do they do about that though? Do they pay lip service, or do they pay better wages?

Do they go around blaming the poor for not working, or do they put their focus on the systems designed to extract the value of their work?

You've made your position clear, and it's based on some very false ideas about the 'default' state of humanity. I addressed these ideas but you ignored that.

> Maybe we could work less and keep the standard of living the same.

Yes, we could. No 'maybe' about it.

The reason we don't is the dedicated effort of people who like the status quo as it is, and the people they employ across politics, the military and media to keep the situation as inequitable, extractive, and exploitative as possible.

> maybe we could work the same but live in a much better standard.

We could. But again, we don't, and for the exact same reason as above.
You said accept headerS and since the thread was about localization I assumed you meant Accept-Language.

To answer your comment: yes you should return the same content (resource) from that URL (note the R in URL). If you want/can, you can attend to the Accept header to return it in other representation, but the content should be the same.

So /posts should return the same list of posts whether in HTML, JSON or XML representation.

But in practice content negotiation isn't used that often and people just scope APIs in their own subpath (e.g. /posts and /api/posts) since it doesn't matter that much for SEO (since Google mostly cares about crawling HTML, JSON is not going to be counted as duplicate content).
After a tragedy it's customary to call for a 'minute of silence' even this purposeful exercise of nothing but thoughts is measured in minutes too. I don't think it takes from the desired outcome.
How much time did you find yourself spending on the courses?

The damage is done regardless of where the emissions happen. Shuffling the location of the emissions around does not help.

If linux hits 5% this would be huge news and something Microsoft should be taking note.

Reminds me of an old Red Hat advert likely from the late 90s, based on the following quote (I cannot remember who said this.. gandhi???) :-

- First they ignore you
- Then they laugh at you
- Then they fight you
- Then you win

At the end of the advert it said something like "You are here" which shows an aeroplane about to take off... just a matter of time before it leaves the ground. Its kinda symbolic to tell you its just a matter of time.

Of course, things have changed since this advert as the last 10 years Microsoft have been open towards Linux. While they are contributors, I still have doubts of their intentions. Personally, I view Microsofts strategy to control the GNU/Linux ecosystem not by the OS but their software. If they manage to win Linux distributions to use their tools by default (MS SQL Server, .NET, Powershell, etc) - would give them a lot of control!

Of course, linux admins might laugh at that idea... use Powershell? Please! -- But microsoft have some great influence due to their money and advertisement. Things could change drastically in the next 10-15 years.

Imagine big businesses using .NET or SQL Server and start to use Linux over Windows. Big businesses will happily throw support money. Makes you wonder how distributions will alter their views in a few short years.

Despite all I covered, Microsofts decisions on Windows 11 is baffling. At the end of the day, I just want a vanilla install of Windows. If there is a peice of software or feature I want -- I will install it or turn it on myself. Windows is no longer viewed as an Operating system but a full on IoT Service.

It just moves more people over to GNU/Linux. I only have 1 laptop using Windows at home - and I only have it for a job. I leave this job soon and when I do, the first thing I am doing is wiping Windows 11 for Debian.

I have Steam... so as long as I can play my favourite games on Linux (which are not the latest games) I am good! Despite being a Linux user for many years, I am still behind on the gaming side.
I had this problem – near 24/7 noise – but moved 20 miles west to a suburb that has speed bumps and significantly less through traffic. The average dBs outside went from ~65 to ~45. Maybe in the US, at least, the issue is that the quiet urban/suburban places are much more expensive than the loud places and so are relatively inaccessible?

Though, now that I think about it, the depths of New York City will be both very expensive and very loud.
