That VM is hardly "single purpose". There's logrotate and other cleanup tasks, monitoring, dns, a firewall, and many more stuff running on that server. No matter how much you offload to the host (or forego), there's alwa

I guess it very much depends on any definition of "the community" then.

Is there maybe a subset of Linux applications that it could run soon? A proxy, nfs, some database server, http server, firewall? I think it doesn't need to run Steam, libreoffice and Firefox to be useful. Many parts in a common server

IIRC many vending machines operate or operated on the magnetic properties of coins even. At least in my country before the Euro some did. There are only several properties that can be easily distinguised from coins without complex digital p

What drove that demand? Supply maybe? At that time, fast long distance travel was there: trains. So why was personal , fast, long distance travel wanted. And was it really fast (faster than a horse?)

I'd say we are overlooking the willingness of humans to change, have less, or reduce their impact. I'm pessimistic, but I doubt the human race can bring up the sacrifices needed to save itself from slow (or fast) annihilation. We

It makes the assumption that in early 1900 people wanted or needed to travel far. Did they? Even today, most travels are under 100km, often averaging around <60km a day for commutes and less for non commutes. Would that have been differe

Yes. Those are the reasons why gas was chosen. But it doesn't make the question "where would we be now, if the choice had been made different" less interesting.

From what I understand and from what I know of Google (or any big tech), this won't be a "weekly" digest, but rather a constant barrage of "personalized" attention seeking push notifications. Breaking news! Somethin

According to the documentation that's exactly what the "planning mode" is supposed to do.

Maybe they are "carbon negative" in the same way as many datacenters or international flights are "carbon neutral": by buying it off: e.g. planting more trees than they cut? But I guess you are right and they're jus

You are joking, but I honestly would like it to get a personalized weekly collection of articles, a wiki lemma, a comic or two and some reviews delivered as PDF or on paper. The crux being that it's personalized. It could use my Pock

If there were no humans to cut forests down, they'd be renewing themselves too. Trees die, fall and rot. Releasing a part of their captured carbon back, and releasing some methane (a worse greenhouse gas than carbon-dioxide). Now that

Bounded domains, as Evans calls them in DDD. Indeed, how these domains communicate is rather irrelevant. It can be HTTP, injected objects, closures or functions, a message bus, an event store. I've worked on a few actually good Rails a

I'm sure the answers to that will show that what your parent-comment "demands" is impossible to generalize. We've once done a roundtable at our local developer meetup with this question. There were 20 people there. There

Many (most?) of them have been overhauled with success. For find there is fd[1]. There's batcat, exa (ls), ripgrep, fzf, atuin (history), delta (diff) and many more. Most are both backwards compatible and fresh and friendly. Your hardw

Market is about supply and demand . People demand meat. Regardless of how inefficiënt it is produced. And, no surprise, this isn't a free market at all . At least in Europe, meat, dairy (and on lesser extent crops) are heavily subsid

According to most sources I can get to with my amateur knowledge, a giant portion of proteins is "wasted" by "producing meat". Another large portion is wasted because of poor logistics and wasteful behavior. If everyone

My diet is vegetarian, so a lot of flavor is that staple. My tiny lot brought me all the potatoes, corn, beans and pumpkin I need and some more. Our five walnut trees, shared with 12+ households, produce some more protein. I obviously still

I doubt even the lack of industrialized farming productivity will "kill billions". It will certainly switch diets and most probably cause hunger and malnutrition for some time. But we can support billions of people, given the righ

I think your description is unfair. Yes, I think that, say, Mc Donalds has all the rights to bombard me with ads when I enter their "restaurant". Even ads for, say, cars, if they get some deal with a car-factory. So, yes, I think

In order to store any significant energy, you'd need great heights or giant mass. Both rather impractical. That said, one of the oldest energy captures is a watermill. It's powered by gravity.
