Since you added "real" in there, no argument really matters. But regardless, it's funny you say that, as Python current style guide (https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/) outlines 4 spaces as the one and only correct way of writing Python code.

If plant uptake were counteracting emissions atmospheric CO2 ppm would not be rising so much.

I wonder if it does mean planting trees or de-desertification might be more effective than estimated.
Good insight, thank you. Your right… there will be be a point where it will flip and then you’ll need a route planning app for gas stations.

Our gas car for another 6 to 10 years if I can stretch it and at that point of infrastructure is up to it I’ll get an electric one.
Product Managers decide what they want the Project Managers to manage.

eg: "New Feature X" or "New Product Y" or...

Project Managers are about estimates and critical paths and resolving bottlenecks and competition for resources.

Product Managers are about features and sales and product roadmaps and marketing campaigns etc.
This website seems to have scaled a lot in recent times, given higher rankings on SERPs. I know that we should do things that don't scale, but I really don't understand how one person can pay this much attention. Kudos Dan.
My experience has been that once the mercenary ethics has been established, it is not so much that people do not care, which would be bad enough, it also is that they care a lot about number one, and will push in every possible way towards individual profit a the expense of the collective. The amount of wilful obfuscation and self-interest-maximizing collusion and grift severely weakens the host. Then comes private equity to suck the carcass dry.

"rises by nearly one third" sounds a bit strange to me, more correct would be "Plant CO2 uptake is currently underestimated by one third according to new research"?

> The research, detailed in the journal Nature, is expected to improve Earth system simulations that scientists use to predict the future climate, and spotlights the importance of natural carbon sequestration for greenhouse gas mitigation.

Too bad that we are currently doing the exact opposite (cutting down more forest than is regrown)...
> Most Linux distros still use ext4 by default, which is 19 years old, but ext4 is little more than a series of extensions on top of ext2, which is the same age as NTFS.

However, ext4 and XFS are much more simpler and performant than BTRFS & ZFS as root drives on personal systems and small servers.

I personally won't use either on a single disk system as root FS, regardless of how fast my storage subsystem is.
Getting make to work on Windows (a hard requirement from OP) the same way as on Linux is basically impossible.

You're angry at the good news that CO2 is being absorbed by nature more than previously believed?
Such a cool project. The only thing - I wish LEDs were blue
No one in western media is going to say Western Asia for the Middle East. As you well know. I’ve never heard it in media in Asia either.

And most people in the English speaking world would be very confused if you tried - just like you were, when you tried to say it was because the Middle East was in East Asia, or had anything to do with it being in Asia - which that link makes clear it doesn’t.
I'm similar to some other people here, I guess once they've been bitten by data loss due to btrfs, it's difficult to advocate for it.
You said it derogatorily, but it is genuine evidence that rising CO2 concentrations are have less effects than previously thought. In theory there could accumulate enough evidence to show anything.
> Pan-tropical rainforests accounted for the biggest difference between previous estimates and the new figures, a finding that was corroborated by ground measurements, Gu said. The discovery suggests that rainforests are a more important natural carbon sink than previously estimated using satellite data.

And yet, we stand by on the sidelines while narco, wood and cattle organized crime cartels contaminate, log and burn down the rainforests.

IMHO, at least the endangered rainforest belts should be placed under international supervision with a joint military cooperative on a shoot-to-kill order against these kinds of criminals. Think of an UN Blue Helmets mission, but not as a toothless "peacekeper corps" like the usual useless bullshit. The very ability of Earth to provide for human life hinges to a significant part on the continued existence and health of the rainforest ecosystem, and it is obvious now that many of the countries in which these forests lie are fundamentally incapable of maintaining this shared resource.

I have 20 years in WP and B2. This is tragic. He needs to be removed or the platform will die making a huge repository of knowledge valueless.
The problem there though, is that with PoCs like this, as an attacker you want to have a ping back to your system so that you know the attack has been successful (in this case they probably expected/hoped someone at Cursor to install the package, that's the usual objective in a dependency confusion attack). But what they could have done, is send a less sensitive thing like just the current working directory or current effective user, instead of the whole environment.

That is exactly it - that's untrue. CO2 absorption was previously underestimated, but that does not change the rising concentration or the effect of CO2 on the climate.
Maybe we should pay for working greening efforts - aka artifical algea blooms ontop of the Marianna trench.

I have a similar point to make as the other comment. Not everybody has the resources to e.g. verify the germ theory of disease. In fact humanity didn't have the resources to verify that until recent history. The smartest, brightest, and most successful medical practicioners would use to tell you that disease is caused by an imbalance of the humors, or of yin and yang; this was a comparatively obvious and reasonable, but ultimately wrong explanation supported by anatomical evidence, compared to the fanciful explanation of invisible insects infiltrating and attacking your body; a theory that requires extensive institutional knowledge, trust and infrastructure to develop and verify.

So when a government and its politician leaders frequently lie to its constituents, it can be difficult for a rational individual to trust the public health advice coming from the same apparatus.

AFAIK, Sonos was about those two. They didn't solve them either, there's still plenty of space to make a dent there.
Yes, but they did not touch that DNS specifically.
Good advice. First step is to identify your enemies. I also would call it “understand dynamics”. Because somebody wanted promotion into your senior position. Somebody just does not like you or someone wants to do things differently. It’s fine. Just know the obstacles before planing the journey.

The scarce hunting was a lie. Dysentery was a risk of speed. Rest and eat well, and it would go away. Wagons were limited, as were Oxen, clothes, food, wagon wheels. The only thing that could grow without limit was money, and there was the 'cook.' A provable way to get as high a score as you wanted. The true weakness was trading a clothes for an ox. $5 profit every time. If you hung back a few miles from the Dalles, you could trade as much as you want, back and forth, and then sell all your profits.

You could pass the 14,000+ years by hunting... and trading... at some point, all you need to do was trade...

I had not played the CDC-Cyber mainframe version, nor the Apple II version, I started with the Macintosh version, and having passed Econ with flying colors set my sight on 'cooking' the game, but the same 'cook' was available on the Apple ][ and the PC.

I would suspect that in 10,000 years... that Oxen in 500 generations would have been bred for extreme longevity, as well as the humans too.

Finally, the source code was published at May 1978, Creative Computing, page 137. So.... hack the source. ( CDC-Cyber Basic, I believe... ) for which "On CDC Cyber Basic, the size of an integer is typically 16 bits, meaning it can represent whole numbers ranging from -32,768 to 32,767."

> The Misty Programming Language is a dynamic, (...), secure, distributed actor language

In this day-and-age, dynamic programs should be considered insecure (in the broad sense) by design. There have been lots of efforts in the past ~15 years to make distributed systems more robust (e.g. Cloud Haskell [0], choreographic programming [1]).

The term "secure" as used here is quite specific, used in reference to a capability model. This is quite nice and innovative. However, static typing and capabilities need not be mutually exclusive: capabilities can be modeled at the type level using algebraic effects [2].

I'm not sure I understand the issue w/moving from UPnP to mDNS if everything was still locally accessible and managed.

Kinda feels like those two issues are orthogonal.
I agree that it is grossly negligent to subsidize the building of a major city in a desert or semi-arid area, and then not invest in sufficient infrastructure to take care of easily forseable issues such as this.

But, come on!

The hydrants, which are fed from smallish tanks, which are fed from the reservoir, did not run out of water because the reservoir was offline?

What magic pixie dust was going to feed those hydrants with the reservoir empty? They could pump water up to those tanks, but we already know that just isn't going to work at any kind of scale. It's barely adequate to meet normal domestic water needs.

I guess we should just throw up our hands and not hold people accountable for basic maintenance of basic systems, or taking systems completely offline to do ancilliary repairs to things like a covering tarp. Or making massive cuts at the state and local level to fire prevention and fighting efforts.

I use it on a NAS for:

- Confidence in my long-term storage of some data I care about, as zpool scrub protects against bit rot

- Cheap snapshots that provide both easy checkpoints for work saved to my network share, and resilience against ransomware attacks against my other computers' backups to my NAS

- Easy and efficient (zfs send) replication to external hard drives for storage pool backup

- Built-in and ergonomic encryption

And it's really pretty easy to use. I started with FreeNAS (now TrueNAS), but eventually switched to just running FreeBSD + ZFS + Samba on my file server because it's not that complicated.
The problem appears to be with performativeness specifically. Because it is performative, it is superficial, and that's bad.

We could plant, cut down and burn trees for the energy, in a circle, and keep carbon levels in our atmosphere the same, instead of digging up new carbon from the ground and burning it. We will have to bury carbon back under the ground at some point.

Core tenet of anti-wokism: one must acknowledge/ pay lip service to the notion of racism and other social issues, but one must not permit any further exploration of said issue.

One interesting subtext to where tech philosophy is landing in all this is that it will be the downfalll of America if woke ideas are promoted, and it will similarly be the downfall of America if racists/sexists/etc can’t practice free speech.
How did that distinguish between antisemtic, anti-Israeli, anti-occupation, and anti-genocide?

Like, 'In November, Israeli soccer fans were chased and beaten by crowds in the Netherlands' but the NYT did not mention how that includes how 'Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were filmed pulling Palestinian flags from houses, making racist anti-Arab chants such as "Death to Arabs", assaulting people, and vandalising local property.', and the (counter-?)violence was not against Jewish people who live in Amsterdam.

(Quote from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2024_Amsterdam_riots .)

The NYT says 'The ADL has in the past been challenged for sometimes considering criticism against Israel as antisemitic. In the study, however, attitudes toward Israel don’t affect the antisemitism score, which only represents the percentage of respondents who answered “definitely true” or “probably true” to six or more of the 11 antisemitic tropes listed in the questionnaire.' but I can't find the questionnaire.

I will take pineapple pizza on a good thin dough made from quality grain, over a bad pizza with "correct" topping, every time.
A graph is fundamental notion in computer science because it allows us to model numerous interesting real life problems.
Trees are special kind of graphs that are structurally very simple thus many interesting problems are very easy to solve.
Some graphs are not trees but are similar to trees and thus on such graphs we can leverage the tree-like similarity and solve interesting problems much more easily and efficiently.
Treewidth formally captures the following idea: measure how much a graph is similar to a tree.
The notion allows us to formally analyze and quantify complexity of the algorithms that make use of tree-like similarity.
There is analogical notion for path-like graphs, called pathwidth.
The treewidth is much more interesting in practice but the definition of pathwidth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathwidth) is probably a bit easier to understand so you might look into that first.

The idea in both cases is to decompose a graph into not necessarily disjunctive bags (sets) of neighboring vertices with additional bagging rules which ensure that the decomposition itself is a tree or path, respectively, when interpreting the bags as nodes.

More formally, a tree decomposition t of a graph G is labelling nodes of t by bags of vertices of G such that
1. every edge of G is contained in a bag of t,
2. for every vertex in G, the set of nodes in t whose bags contain v is connected via the child relation.

Here is a nice example: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/Tr...

For a given graph one can construct many tree decompositions but it is harder get ones with smaller bags but the smaller the bags the more similar to a tree the graph is.
We say that a graph has treewidth n if there is a tree decomposition in which each bag has size at most n+1.
In particular, a tree has treewidth 1 because we can always construct a tree decomposition with bags of size at most 2.

There are different equivalent characterizations of the notion, one of them is the cops-and-robbers definition, which already appeared in a comment earlier https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42695879 and was introduced in https://thomas.math.gatech.edu/PAP/search.pdf.
To give an idea why the treewidth can be defined by it observe the following.
Playing on a tree you do not need too many cops to capture the robber as you can block the fast robber by putting cops on two neighboring vertices and move toward the robber.
So for general graphs you can block the robber by filling two bags of a tree decomposition and move toward the robber.
That's a fair counterargument.

The biggest thing in that category was Mysql "flipping" with the Oracle purchase. But people quickly migrated to postgres (which more-or-less is the same for smallish projects) and MariaDB as a Mysql fork exists as well. And I'm sure some people just kept using Mysql as well without having to do anything.

For all the tech I listed here, I think Rails is the one that would be hardest to a drop-in replacement for. Everything else is "generic." Text editors (not that I particularly care if a text editor is updated frequently (or at all most of the time)) and nix-like environments are basically hot swappable.

But IME when something has some sort of custom environment and that's the only way to deal with it (dashboard, special IDE, etc.) that's when you have the biggest risk of having a bad time.
