What's best is doing the oil extraction in opposite. Grow plants and capture CO2, bury them in a way that prevents decomposition (is that possible?).

Unless they plan on cutting the forest down, replanting everything anew and BURYING the chopped wood, they are not really helping. CO2 already in trees doesn't quickly return to the atmosphere if wood is used for long lasting things. Now, IKEA is known to do the opposite...

I know it's counter-intuitive, but it's *almost* better for the environment to NOT recycle paper and bury it in landfills. We're essentially reversing the process of extracting oil.

Maybe good to mention that StreetComplete works similarly as a Question & Answers on already existing nodes/paths on OSM. "What kind of surface does this road have?" "Is there street lighting here?"

Great way to improve local maps when walking around downtown

Yes, essentially a cable whose terminal endpoint is like https://www.geeky-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Mag...

How does your company feel about "priority support"? You might phrase it in the same way: we're using package X so we're paying mantainer to fix the bugs we encounter and help us in critical times. It'll cost us twice to do this internally.

I think what GP was trying to say is that it's difficult to prove that, especially since it's longer term. It just requires better framing, i.e. Priority support on software package used.

It's what I used years ago to learn the language.

The guys at 37signals/Basecamp said it well here: https://m.signalvnoise.com/the-presence-prison/

The problem isn't the tool, it's the mindset that often goes with it.

What you are describing isn't the problem for Slack, is the problem of requiring a green status icon: https://m.signalvnoise.com/the-presence-prison/

Babashka is dangerous...

as far as i can tell, true randomness doesn't work except from in the quantum world. Everything else is random insofar as "we don't know it and it's unpractical to predict". Coin tosses are also not random: they all depends on the system initial conditions.

Not really, and that is precisely one of the point for crypto advocates. To be used as "virtual" (just non physical) cash, easier to manage.

What if Apple decided that they don't get to gain that much out of AAA games so they don't care offering hardware that those companies might ran on?

I have the feeling that Apple just cares about Apps for iOS (money wise). What's the minimum they need to do so people write iOS apps?

If this hardware, incidentally, is good for your use case, all is good. If not, they might just shrug it and decide you're too niche (i.e. not adding too much value to their ecosystem) and abandon you.

What if they simply decided that they didn't care for that part of the market? At some point we should just accept that.

Because we keep building on top of things, and trying to make stuff simpler to use, rather than simpler to change. Hence why I'm curious to see what programming could be in 10-15 years time, when programmers had an iPhone (or equivalent) they _whole_ life.

The point of GP was that, if smaller keyboards are introduced, nothing stops composers with large hands from using them, resulting in even bigger chords. Hence in competitions you could end up with just smaller keyboards for everybody, unless you "regulate" the size based on hand size.

Because you can sell your games to the same customers, same machines, outside of Steam. You can't do that with iOS.

Yep. I've immediately read that "we're evaluating whether the second dose would increase it to around 94-95%", I guess they did.

it's exactly like the freelancer tax brackets in Italy. Everybody jumping through hoops (and or not declaring stuff) to remain under the threshold of 60k/year (was 30k/year). Otherwise tax rate doubles.

What about Just Eat (also known as takeaway.com)?

Restaurants sign up but they have their own drivers. A common interface / middleman for all restaurants. At least it was so in the Netherlands.

Incentive are not aligned anymore.

Example: I order a pizza through Deliveroo. The driver doesn't care about either the restaurant or me, so he chucks the pizza vertically in his box, ruining it. I get a shitty pizza, I won't order anymore from the restaurant.

Compare this with me calling up the restaurant and having one of their employees delivering the pizza: the restaurant has all the incentives for me to enjoy the pizza, since they suffer if they lose me as a client.

And no, it doesn't help using something else as deliveroos: the deliverers are all the same (they use multiple apps) and they don't give a shit about the quality of the service (and rightly so, since they are paid peanuts)

People are expecting that for profit companies act for "public interest". They are confusing it with the government/state/public institutions.

A NAS with offsite backups to S3/Glacier/C2 works fine

it sucks but.. yeah, that's how it works.

And that is enabled by VC funded culture, where you have million of dollars invested in companies, which can then offer services at a loss investing in something else (market share, training data, etc.).

Using smaller companies which charge honestly for the services they provide is probably more sustainable in the long term.

1. Yeah i understand. Something more free/libre would have been a better choice. On the other hand I also like that it's quite "complete" so i don't have a lot of chances of screwing it up

2. Yeah, I only use DS Photo for backup / browsing on my phone. And Drive to replace Dropbox.

3. Not entirely sure about DS moments, as i use Photostation. In there it's basically each folder is an album (or sub/album).

100% agree. But I'm using the "old" PhotoStation instead of Moments. It feels too much like Google Photos where all pictures are bundled, and I like to have "Albums" or folders that are separate. But i use it also for just regular camera photography, not just phone where it makes more sense to have a timeline. Hard to have a useful timeline when I take 1000 pictures in a weekend with my Fuji

Why don't you use DS Photo from Synology? It's a bit dated but you can have auto upload of pictures and browse PhotoStation. We do, at home

It's not 100% comparable, but I'm using my Synology NAS with a few TB of space, and the Photostation app. DS Photo automatically syncs pictures from our phones and i manually upload the camera ones. I also use Synology C2 for offsite backup of my whole NAS. Works pretty well.

they mention this was a unit test, for which stubbing the hashing function would have been totally fine
