But I am always wondering: Couldn't we have planted forests, from which we take the grown trees and put them back down under the earth, in some old mining facilities or dig some tunnels that lead deep down and put that stuff there? Or perhaps build lots of long term use furniture from the trees? Anything, except burning them or letting them rod? Then we would use nature's mechanism for capturing and prevent releasing, by putting it deep down, or making meaningful long term use of it.

And couldn't this be done on a bigger scale as well?
Did you just move the goalpost to talking about waterproof coatings that come from China because that’s not what the articles about

99% of all rain jackets for the last 50 years are waterproofed with pfas, that’s not a failing of China and changing the waterproofing for a shorter chained PFAS is probably a good direction( unless you have to use 100 times more over the lifetime of the jacket ) but the article doesn’t even tell you what type of PFAS they detected they probably don’t have the equipment to do that. Curious that you would assume that it was the ‘bad’ kind

As someone who you'd probably refer to as one of the "younger folks", I think part of it is a coping mechanism. The outside world looks incredibly bleak. Most of my friends and housemates appear burnt out or have a depressed outlook on the state of the world - politics, global warming, house/rent prices, crumbling healthcare, dating (which in today's world means swiping on an app), competitive work life, social pressures (exacerbated by instagram, tiktok, etc), gym, seemingly no time in the world to do anything.

Perhaps it's just because I live in London, but this a snapshot of my social circle right now. It's also no secret that the West is suffering from a mental health crisis.

With the weight of the world looming over me, a nice meal for lunch is about the only thing keeping me together (being slightly sarcastic here).

I do wonder, was it always this way? Genuine question - did you ever feel this way in your 20s/30s? Did your friends?

No ABS on the 250 and I agree, I won't buy anything without it ever again.

By "gliding" I mean the acute sensation of the loss of weighted-ness on the road. Like when you hit a patch of ice in a car or when you're at a severe lean angle and the tires start to skip a little.

Let me assure you, there very much is such a thing as a quick hard veer in the wet. My fingers on the keyboard right now are proof, ha-ha
Yes, it would cause existing programs to leak memory. Most of the time these leaks would be fairly minor, but some programs could leak a lot if they call getenv() inside of a loop for some reason.

Personally, if the return object is a basic C type, I'm not a fan of creating a wrapper function to call free(). This is one of those code purity things that I don't think buys you anything.
I have not thought about this too carefully so I might be overlooking something. With that out of the way, a quick search indicates that we burn about 90 % of gas, oil, and coal for one purpose or another. Let's round this and pretend we burn it all. To undo this we will essentially need the same amount of energy again that we got out of it when we burned it, we would need to use all the energy coming from fossil fuels to undo burning them. Conservation of energy essentially.

Which makes it obvious that the entire idea is pretty pointless, burn fossil fuels to generate energy to then use it to unburn fossil fuels. To do it with renewable energy, we still need the same capacity as the fossil fuel capacity and when we have that - ignoring issues like fluctuations in renewable sources - it makes more sense to just use the renewable sources directly instead of using them to undo burning fossil fuels.

If you want to use the process to pull carbon out of the atmosphere, then you first have to replace all fossil fuels with renewable ones, then you can use additional renewable capacity to remove carbon. Add additional 10 % capacity to the world energy capacity to undo one year of carbon emissions every decade, at least to a first approximation.

To come back to the initial question, you essentially need an industry the same order of magnitude as the fossil fuel industry to have a meaningful impact. Not going to happen anytime soon.
Interesting, I wasn't aware that Traefik could do this without significant modification to the docker-compose configuration provided by the application developer. I also thought that Traefik required some sort of higher-level container orchestration like Docker Swarm or Kubernetes.

I'll have to look in to that.

You are using the word "heritable" as evidence for the "innateness" of a trait. "Innate" can mean multiple things, but the implication here is that it implies genetic determinism. Heritability statistics do not establish genetic determinism and, for intelligence, there's now substantial evidence in the other direction.
Those are just unconscionable terms, not merely unexpected ones.
The reasoning I’ve heard is that Bluetooth traffic is easily snoopable without physical access to the device. Someone could potentially steal password keystrokes while sitting outside the office building, on the other side of a window with the shades drawn, whereas with USB you still need to get past the physical security and be at their desk.
Positive interpretation: Because they hope to find a method of doing it, that does not require too much energy, so that that method can be done using renewables.

Negative interpretation: Because of look/appearances/prestige.
Show HN: Python Stream Processing with Denormalized
tl;dr we’re releasing python bindings for writing stream processing jobs using the Denormalized Rust library.

Hey HN,

A few months ago we released Denormalized, our embeddable stream processing engine written in rust [0]. Today we’re excited to showcase python bindings for the library.

Python is still very much the language of data and we wanted to make it easy for more engineers to write fast streaming jobs without having to learn Rust.

Currently, you can use the library to write streaming aggregations, stream joins, and user defined aggregate functions (thought the API for this is quite clunk).

The library is available on pypi: `pip install denormalized` and we’ve created a simple docker container that will quickly spin up an instance of kafka along with a script to write fake data to make running the examples [1] really easy: `docker run --rm -p 9092:9092 emgeee/kafka_emit_measurements:latest`

We’d love to hear your feedback

Hi! My name is Vivian. I'm a software engineer with 4 YoE, and I'm looking for full-stack / backend roles.

My background is in developing enterprise desktop applications in the semiconductor industry. I've worked on UI to core logic to data storage -- equivalent to full-stack in web apps.

I'm excited for a new challenge and would love to work on distributed systems. (I'm currently reading Designing Data-Intensive Applications to fill in knowledge gaps.)

If you're interested, please send me an email to setup a phone/video call. I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to your team. Also, I'd be happy to work on a small project or complete a work trial (or other suggestions) to help you feel confident in your hiring decision.
One of the cooler features in Windsurf is Cascade, sort of an agent powered by an LLM that you can talk to and can make changes to your codebase.

I see your point but my Russian teacher had taught me exactly the same. She made me watch Skazka Skazok which won many awards (and I loved it btw) and read stories that also had this feeling. I'm happy that today Russia is not the same as before and there is also hope in people's lives, not only sadness. Or so it seems.
Hmm, thanks for the report. I use uBlock origin as well but I might have it in some more permissive state...
It depends. Let's suppose we want to search info about the bio of historic people, for example Julius Caesar. Google will return for sure the link to english wikipedia. But let's assume that Italian Wikipedia got more deep info about Caesar. Would you prefer to see a less complete English version, or get the most complete Italian version (and auto-translate it in English with any available tools to read it)?
> The destruction of patience is one of the most dramatic cultural shifts we’ll probably experience of our lifetimes, and it pervades everything — journalism, music, comedy, the works. I was at a dinner party recently with a film studies professor who said some of her own students didn’t really watch movies anymore.

A 29 year old whom I spoke with recently made the same comment: they don't have the patience to watch movies.

I can feel the same atrophication happening to my(older)self, to a lesser extent. Though I still love watching movies and reading books, I find it difficult to finish uninterrupted. During a movie, I usually take one or two breaks, and not simply to go to the bathroom. With books, I tend to read a chapter at a time and then stop, sometimes taking weeks to finish a long book. I remember when I was young, I would tear through an interesting book in one day; you couldn't tear the pages away from me.

This solves a huge annoyance I've had: swap a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse between multiple laptops, without manually un0paring / re-pairing. I have a personal "hot desk" at home. I want to be able to plug in any laptop to the large monitor, and have the wireless keyboard/mouse on that desk instantly work. And when I leave the desk with my laptop, I don't want that keyboard/mouse connected anymore.

This has been impossible so far, because even USB bluetooth dongles still require each host computer to pair (and un-pair) with the keyboard/mouse.

I am going to try your solution, and I will plug the USB input into the large monitor on my desk. Then any laptop that plugs into that monitor should have access to the wireless keyboard/mouse. Thank you for creating and sharing this!

Lessons from Palantir Alums About Building a Tech Company
> The truth is going out of business as technology turns us into a folk-story society, ripe for influence by a demagogue.

Talk about hubris.

Thomas Jefferson: "Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day."

My hope is that from the "death of truth" a more diverse group of media rises from its ashes.

what a sad day for affordable travel in this country! my favorite trashy airline, so many memories. But then again, if it became Jet Blue, then it would also cease to be Spirit, right?
So, capturing CO2 from the air can be used to put out even more CO2 into the air. Fantastic.

I have a front-facing dashcam in my car. It records videos when I drive. Would this be useful for others? The videos are not stamped with GPS coordinates but I don't go off road or anything so you can usually tell the name of the street or highway I am on just by the street signs. Are these dash cam videos worth saving?

Edit: this is in the US
> The other companies are doing all sorts of partnerships [..]

GrubHub partnered with Amazon. Amazon Prime now includes a GrubHub+ account.

I have Prime, but have yet to use GH+, but that's more because I just stopped getting food delivered in general. Not because of the price (I used DD and had the DashPass which is very much worth it if you get at least 2 deliveries/month), but because I started getting deliveries with missing items. When that happens, they won't offer to do another delivery, they'll just either refund the item or I can go pick it up. Both options defeat the purpose of ordering delivery. I either don't get my food, or I have to leave the house.
They would send a human out to deal with it
That's how it would work - they airlines would have to cut service. By filling up seats with lower fares, it allows the whole route to be profitable. This helps more flights to occur serving more places.
Stresses can push someone over the edge too. We did just have a US Presidential election.

Yeah it might not even be entirely an age thing, it's the "many folks who use these services .... REALLY use them". There might be other factors at play to match up who is how.
And with any data you usually want redundancy,

FTFY

But I know what you meant. I used to have systems built with multiple small arrays where the original sources were in RAID-5 (pre-raid6). The software would read from that array and write to a RAID0 array as these files were only ephemeral. The software would then read from that RAID0 and write to a second RAID0 to avoid reading/writing to the same volume. This was all before SSDs. For the lulz, I would love to see how that workflow would perform with NVMe storage.

At the time of using these systems, spinning rust was not $16/TB and was probably closer to the $100/TB. I still remember $1k/GB in the early 90s
> I do not expect industry to solve the problem industry created in a way that doesn't create more problems.

but it's not one "industry" that has to change their mind, this'd create a whole new secondary industry that is able to profit from negative externalities made by the former.

capitalism got us into this mess, but it's also the only thing powerful enough to get us out.

if we can get tech that allows us to make an economic case for reducing atmospheric CO2, it would be far more robust than relying on government regulation and/or unpopular moral appeals that ask people to sacrifice.
Do you think Jefferson consulted a more diverse group of media? I suspect that in his time it was actually less diverse, and perhaps Jefferson considered only books to be worthy of trust.
This hurts a little to read. Think about the use cases for recipes:

- Shopping

- Scaling up/Scaling down

- Finding ratios of key ingredients when you're looking at multiple recipes to figure out a dish or what's wrong with the last recipe you tried

- Mise en place, which is conventionally omitted except in very detailed recipes

- Planning cooktimes

- The actual cooking process

And as a home cook, I'm not personally experienced with commercial use cases, but there's even more there: costing servings, menu planning, mise across several dishes with common ingredients, etc. Having seen some commercial recipes, pros will frequently use very simple lists of ingredients and just a few notes on technique. Bakers will use baker's percentages.

The weird "cooking for people who insist on modeling the world in complicated categories" format doesn't support these very well, but it sure helps with "is grinding the whole spices a substep of combining the spice mixture?".
Add the labels to the docker-compose file and then run it.

I regularly try out new services or tools with docker-compose
This seems unrealistic. Sliding the commercial slider to zero is unlikely what anyone wants. Even Wikipedia would be hidden due to its incessant thirst for donations. Visiting a nice open source repo that happens to have Patreon or GitHub sponsor? Gone. Visiting the help page for a hardware product I've already purchased? That page probably upsells you on a higher tier product and is gone. Trying to get news? All news sites have ads now and they are gone; the only ones without ads are those paid for by Big Oil or Big Pharma or similar with a hidden agenda to influence you.

Instead of bending the web into something it is not, have you tried simply visiting a library and getting all information from there?
> Fed officials are trying to reach a “neutral” rate setting that keeps inflation in check without squashing demand, in a bid to pull off a so-called soft landing that would avoid a recession.

How long would they have to go without a recession before declaring it a success? (Also, aren't recessions only ever known in hindsight?)
The real key here is to understand Netflix’s business, and also many social media companies too.

These companies have achieved vast scale because correctness doesn’t matter that much so long as it is “good enough” for a large enough statistical population, and their Devops practices and coding practices have evolved with this as a key factor.

It is not uncommon at all for Netflix or Hulu or Facebook or Instagram to throw an error or do something bone headed. When it happens you shrug and try again.

Now imagine if this was applied to credit card payments systems, or your ATM network, or similar. The reality of course is that some financial systems do operate this way, but it’s recognized as a problem and usually gets on people’s radar to fix as failed transaction rates creep up and it starts costing money directly or clients.

“Just randomly kill shit” is perfectly fine in the Netflix world. In other domains, not so much (but again it can and will be used as an emergency measure!).
Hum... No, the people studying new catalyzer shapes didn't do a through market research for a carbon sequestration plant.
I'm more than halfway through my fifties, I make a good living, but I still drive a 15 year old car and I live in a fairly modest house that isn't in a great location (not dangerous, just not centrally convenient to a lot of things). I rarely eat out.

I guess I live like this as my parents lived like this (though they didn't really talk about it, I just followed their model I guess). As a kid we had one car, we almost never ate out, we bought our clothes at Sears. My parents both had graduate degrees and made a good living but just didn't spend money unecessarily.
Right, I'm just thinking these services wouldn't survive if the only people using them were the ones who could afford to vastly overpay for food.
Does bamboo count?
Yep, same here. I didn’t know what I wasn’t supposed to do so I tried whatever. Spending hours just typing nonsense until something worked. Getting the monitor to display different colors was certainly exciting! I never made it into demos but sure did spent way too much time poking around my c64.
We didn't have the same ... internet selling us on doom and gloom. Not saying that there aren't legit concerns, but I think the internet and its citizens certainly promote, reward, and consume negativity more than anything else. It skews things.

I worry a lot of folks just sort of live in the reality they consume on the internet, don't make their own space of sorts.
Out of curiosity, what time investment is required for maintaining an Arch install?

I've been using Arch for the past decade and other than the turbulence when switching over to systemd, I don't do anything other than `pacman -Syu` and can only recall exactly one time where the system broke and it was because mkinitpcio failed to run after updating a kernel and was fixed by chrooting into my system and rerunning it.

I often had more issues with Debian or other distros because of having to fight the system to install packages that were built within the past year.
You can make it into a carbon-neutral heating fuel.

You can make paper products including things like cardboard and packaging.

You can put livestock on it and produce meat.

Or if you just want to sequester carbon, you can harvest it and bury it deep in the ground.

> What are the valuable outputs of grasslands?

If you use grasslands for grazing cattle you get meat, or also wool with sheep. Sequestering carbon into grassland soil (or into any soil, really) makes them better at absorbing and retaining rainwater, reducing the risks of catastrophic floods in the watershed area.
