IMHO, the only activity that should have ever been considered as carbon-negative is actually taking carbon out of the air, and storing it in the ground somehow. IT is extremely expensive, which highlights why it is so important to prevent c

Do you know of any places to learn those things? Kafka seems pretty interesting to me

It's been a very long time since I dove down this rabbit hole, but last I did, I found that CMake is definitely the least-bad build system for C++. At least for large projects that span numerous teams.

This sounds pretty great! It sounds like they created a chemical solution, which coats the PFAS stuff and makes it magnetic, so it's easy to remove with a magnet. The solution can be re-used up to 10 times, according to the article. I

To counter, any merge request with more than 2-3 commits is probably too big anyway

7. If you are on-call during a holiday, you get an extra vacation day. This is impoprtant because if you are on-call, you are working, and if it is during a holiday, then that is one less holiday for you. This could actually be pretty good

Here's a paper about how methane leaks from gas stoves contribute to climate change: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.0c00437 The methane contribution alone is significant. Not to mention the CO2 from

Honestly we should be banning new gas hookups (as proposed here) and going even further to incentivise removal of existing ones. Climate change is a life or death situation, and we need to be acting way faster. That alone is reason enough.

Well, yeah. Coal is one of the worst power sources, in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. Of course it needs to be phased out. This is nothing new

Tomatoes are still eaten plenty in places where they cannot even grow, because we are able to ship them. They may not taste as nice as farm-fresh heirloom tomatoes, but clearly people still eat them. On the other hand, most people do not ta

It’s not that crazy the more I think about it. If he has a spouse and 2 kids (so 4 people in this house), and each person eats 3 eggs for breakfast everyday for 30 days that’s 360 eggs

For backbone infrastructure yeah. But most people don’t have their home router on a battery backup. Unless you are talking about backbone stuff?

Probably better video calls for one thing. If more bandwidth is available then you don't need to do as much work copmressing & decompressing the signal on each end

I'm confused, 50W is not a lot of electricity for an outlet. Why would you need batteries?

I thought it was obvious at the time that some of the money would end up going to people who didn’t need it. But we were okay with that, to an extent, because enough would get to the people who did need it
