"Organization" (verb) doesn't necessarily result in "an organization" and almost definitely not in something "optimally organized". Your brain is organized and yet nobody planned it and it's definitely not an organization.

I also disagree that "an organization" (noun) implies anything other than "a group of people" as described in dictionary. An organization can exist without any planned structure - doesn't stop it from being an organization. In my teenage years I was part of few "hacker" groups (in the HN sense of the word) - we tinkered with computers and had a website with cool stuff, all under our 1337 H4X0R-esque name and logo. We definitely were an organization, but we really didn't plan any structure at all. We just liked tech.

Celsius is not an absolute scale. You need to use Kelvin for that meaning that a 1.5C increase is close to a 0.5% increase in global average temperature.
Performance is a whole other ball of wax. A comparison can be done, but you have to set context first with regards to the size and shape of the data set, network conditions, filtering/sorting features, etc. You'd really want to factor in database bandwidth limitations at that point, as any fully client-side table library will need to load all the data first.

My primary point was on the simplicity of the stack and ease of maintaining. I would expect a performance gain in most cases as well, though there are definitely cases where client-side would perform better.
>Decreasing energy production and consumption is not a real solution.

To actually solve the problem we need to:

* Decrease carbon emissions to zero

* Get the excess carbon out of the atmosphere

* Do so while maintaining people alive and not in a state of revolt or starvation

With no energy we collapse. Merely decreasing carbon use by diminishing energy doesn't solve the problem. It just makes it get worse less quickly. It's like not having a job and budgeting more carefully while drawing down your savings. Sensible to be sure but the real solution is enabling us to have abundant energy from non carbon sources and putting atmospheric carbon back into the ground.

AFAIK launch vehicle cost were never the problem for deep space probes. Launch windows still are - Voyager was extremely lucky in this regard. And then there is probe design and construction - SpaceX made launches cheaper, but that just shift most of the cost into the payload. And then there is no point in having such a fleet if you there isn't enough funding for scientists to process the results.

This is assuming that the dissonance is hurting more than the renunciation. People are already quite good at ignoring dissonances. And the causal effects are so removed from daily experience that often there isn’t that great of a dissonance in the first place.

>What nobody talks about is there’s not enough oil and natural gas left to miss 2C by much.

That was true before recent developments in exploitation and conversion. Canada had proven oil reserves of 5 billion barrels in 2002, but by 2005 it had proven reserves of 180 billion barrels because the Alberta oil sands became viable. South America now has far more oil than the Middle East - it's oil that wasn't considered economically recoverable until about a decade ago. Over recent years, we have discovered far more oil and gas than we've burned. Coal doesn't have much of a future as an energy source for electricity generation, but it might have a future as a feedstock for synthetic liquid fuels.

We're probably going to leave most of those hydrocarbons in the ground, but only because of the huge progress that has been made in renewable energy technologies. If that progress stalls or there are big breakthroughs in hydrocarbon technology, then there's still a real risk of substantially exceeding 2C. We have reason to be optimistic, but not complacent.
That's partly because the warming experienced over land can be ~50-100% larger than the globally-averaged warming, with the temperatures over the oceans increasing more slowly to make up the difference.

THE ISSUE
If you're on Windows, and you frequently use Microsoft's Xbox Game Bar (by default invoked with Win+G), you may have encountered some bugs with it along the way.
These bugs include (but aren't limited to):

audio bugs
mic not working
friends that are online don't show up as online
friends not even showing up on friends list
in party, you or someone else shows as 'Disconnected' or 'Connecting'
can't join parties
can't leave parties
and many many more...

THE FIX
A good way to fix the majority of these issues is to restart Xbox Game Bar. Unfortunately there are a few steps to take to restart Xbox Game Bar, such as going to the task manager and ending the task.

I've created a quick and easy solution to restart the Game Bar. Just by running the .exe, and pressing 'Restart Xbox Game Bar', the Game Bar will completely restart, and attempted to re-launch.

(Sorry, Rust newbie here)
I like this point a lot. But then I have to ask... why do I continuously encounter arguments that claim that the fundamental science of these scales is simply settled?

It feels like I read claims that dark matter is both a "given fact" and a "placeholder abstraction" -- from the same person, or at least perspective. They just choose to shift betweeen the two based on what serves their upper hand in a discussion better.

Or reading someone mention that "there is no fundamental difference between mass and energy" while simultaneously defending an entirely gravity-based cosmology that depends on the mass of particles... as if simple energy could not also contribute the same impact of said particles.

I think in general there is a feeling that any theory or speculation which is not dubbed into the dignity of mainstream, accepted dogma needs to be kicked out of the discourse. The fact that we are ultimately inferring in all cases is left out of the discussion and that seems to flatten all "outside" perspectives into a single umbrella of pseudoscience, despite this label accurately fitting -- under the above conditions -- onto heliocentrism, germ theory, chromosonal genetics, plate tectonics, the physical existence of Troy, and just about every paradigm that has resulted in scientific progress in the past.

I'm absolutely not claiming that all things currently labelled psuedoscientific are built the same. I only mean to highlight that science highlights "this is all inference" when it suits it best but otherwise -- in my experience -- discourages such frank reference to its own fallibility when confronted with alternative inferences.
AC is pretty efficient and the temperature differential it needs to overcome is smaller than winter heating in most places. For these places specifically it seems to obviously be the production of oil for the first two and coal for the third. The availability of fossil fuels tends to make them cheaper and consequently a lot more is used.
I've dealt with both: 1. maintenance coding 2. re-write coding

Re-writes take forever, because a lot of the edge cases and bug fixes are lost [1]. You might think they go away, and some do, but new ones are introduced. QA process is critical. Management becomes critical of excuses, and the longer the project is drawn out, the more they get involved. The final shift to a new system is never one-and-done. Management is paying for two systems, canary deploy.

Smaller re-writes are the ideal practice, and your code base is set up this way already, right?

Maintenance code is cheapest.

I think it's all right if you're used to the notation. The first two lines are tagged unions and will be recognisable as such if you're familiar with encodings like Scott/Church pairs/lists/numbers. Once you understand the structure, the definition of `bind` becomes obvious, as its two arguments represent the cases "is nothing" and "is just", where in the first case Nothing is returned, and in the second case the function is applied to the value inside the Just.

I think that writing such code, if only for educational purposes, can be really helpful in actually understanding how the state "flows" during the monadic bind/return. Typical monad instantiations of Maybe do not give such deep insight (at least to me).

Having a massive major feature done as a single commit is evil. Merging two branches may conclude combining a unit of work, a major feature, a minor feature with the main branch (of course once the topic branch is merged to the upstream, and never vice versa [rebase in git terminology]). This is logically "a big commit" constructed from a concrete amount of small commits. Additionally, having small atomic commits also makes reverting a commit a trivial operation regardless the branch the commit was introduced in. Bisecting a range of small commits also makes finding a bad commit easier.

> This is assuming that the dissonance is hurting more than the renunciation.

It’s not about “the dissonance is painful, so they seek to correct it by not voting for reduced consumption”.

It’s “voting to reduce consumption takes effort, in knowing what to vote for and in actually casting a vote, and people are unlikely to put in that effort if they are not putting in any effort elsewhere”.

“Dissonance” was a poor choice of words for what I was trying to communicate.
Ask HN: 4x more output realistic with Copilot?
Hi HN, our managers (large multi-national enterprise) introduced Copilot last week and told us they expect developers to ship 4 times more features from now on. Is this a realistic goal in any way or form?
Good code is an asset.
If your "features" don't fit in one small commit, you should probably look to redefine what "features" are or at least not tie them to a commit.

You can and should split your features into a series of product/codebase improvements that end up delivering the full "feature" with the last of your commits. If done smartly, along the way, you'll be delivering parts of the feature so your users would start benefiting sooner.
No.

> Know when you're testing the framework's capability. If you are, don't do it

Except that many frameworks are full of confusing behavior that is easy to misuse. It's funny that the post mentions `useEffect()` because `useEffect()` is so easy to misuse. Writing integration tests that make sure your app does what it is supposed to is totally fine.

> If you don't know what an API should look like, write the tests first as it'll force you to think of the "customer" which in this case is you

This is pointless. It doesn't give you any information, you're just guessing at what the API should look like. You won't actually know until it's integrated into a working application. The idea that you can design in a vacuum like this is wishful thinking.

> Copy-paste is OK once. The second time you're introducing duplication (i.e., three copies), don't. You should have enough data points to create a good enough abstraction.

No you won't, and it will often be with code that is similar in some ways but differs in others. Since the kind of people who write this kind of vague bullshit advice disapprove of things like boolean function parameters and use shitty languages that don't have metaprogramming support, this leads to "abstractions" that create awkward, tight coupling where changing one little thing breaks a million stupid fucking unit tests.

> Testability is correlated with good design. Something not being easily testable hints that the design needs to be changed.

Testability is neither necessary nor sufficient for any particular quality attribute. Depending on the application being written, it can be counterproductive to write out full unit tests for everything.

As always with these stupid "software engineering" posts, there is zero data, zero evidence, zero definitions of terms up front, and zero of anything that is actually real. It's just personal preference, making it dogma.

I look at the list and I see a bunch of successes, though some of them are niche.
What I'm trying to convey is that the required accuracies for the application are what's unclear. To give an example of a case where accuracy matters, I regularly catch computational geometry folks writing code that branches differently on positive, negative, and 0 results. That application implies 0.5 ulp, which obviously doesn't match the actual implementation accuracy even if it's properly specified, so there's usually a follow-up conversation trying to understand what they really need and helping them achieve it.
> A photon will travel thru space forever without losing energy, unless it hits something. What noise are you talking about?

I'm talking about the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_floor, in particular the unavoidable receiver noise caused by the cosmic background radiation.

A single photon is not a viable communication signal, certainly not at interstellar distances. In practice you need to send out some sort of modulated beam. Even very narrow beams have nonzero dispersion, so the further you get the lower the signal energy will be at an antenna of a given size. So to get more energy you'd need a bigger antenna, but that in turn means receiving more of the background noise as well. In practice there is a minimal signal strength level at which it is still practical to receive the signal.

Long story short: A photon will go on forever (unless it hits something), but a radio signal rapidly spreads out so much that no realistic receiver will be able to recover it from out of the cosmic background noise.
This used to happen to me as well.

This might sound weird but what works for me is once I realize I’m lucid and the dream starts falling apart as you describe it - I quickly start spinning my (dream) body counter clockwise. In most cases this stops the awakening and I can continue lucid dreaming.

Waking up in the ”time loop” is also recurring to me, but a reality check often gets me back on track even when I’m pretty certain that I’m awake (I’m not). I usually just look at my hand. If my fingers look spooky, I’m still sleeping and can induce lucid again.

Ultrahumun Ring AIR: Oura-like ring with no subscription
Yeah, I don't understand these sort of hot takes in the articles like it. As said middle-management dimwit, isn't sort of the definition of a high performer is that they perform without much coaching? That doesn't mean lack of management as the article implies - it means setting them up for success.

Set them on a task, give them a few constraints as needed, and act as a bulldozer to remove blockers as they come to you with them. That's roughly the management a high performer needs in my book. Make sure you listen to them when they complain about something, and fix it within reason. Or explain why you cannot. Don't let penny wise pound foolish stuff fester. Advocate for merit based raises and bonuses - they are making you look good so they should be your first priority when expending political capital. Make sure higher ups and the rest of the org knows about their accomplishments. Simple stuff!
HP-UX and to a lesser degree AIX had some of this. Instead of just static tunable values there were some tunable formulas exposed to the admin. If one knew what they were doing they could change the formula as needed without having to recompile the kernel. I would not mind something like this being exposed from the Linux kernel as tunable options as opposed to just static values. Such options could reduce the number of companies that need to recompile the kernel.
