US emissions peaked in 2007 and have since fallen to 1980s levels: https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=52380 2021 reversed this trend. Guess why?

Agreed, but small nitpick: the early ‘80s was mostly 8 bit, eg the C64, Apple II, MSX, etc. It was possible to acquire a more or less complete idea of how these machines worked. My C64 had documentation that detailed every memory location,

My mistake, sorry. I thought you were implying Canada wasn't a NATO member. I agree with your economic nationalism comments. But Canada is in a special position here: the US Arctic is contiguous with Canada's much larger Arctic re

I might be misinterpreting your comment, but the mountains of Spatzizi and BC in general are not part of the Cascades, other than a small area near the border around Chilliwack.

Potatoes with the skin on are probably the best vegetable source. Nutritious in other ways as well. And cheap too.

Konqueror says hello. I’m only half kidding, it was actually somewhat capable and I used it a lot. For those who don’t know, its legacy was khtml, famously forked into WebKit and Blink.

That is deeply disingenuous. The Marshall Plan transferred massive aid and hugely sped up reconstruction in Europe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan ‘The Marshall Plan made it possible for West Germany to re

This. At the least, Office et al should be spun off. The US has lost the will to split up anticompetitive companies.

The first developer tool I ever bought was Develop-64, an assembler for the Commodore 64 by a company called French Silk software. I was around thirteen years old and I figured this was some big professional company. Much later, I realised

It’s interesting you even have to point this out. Maven solved this and other problems literally decades ago but the repository packaging wheel keeps getting reinvented. For example, here’s the page on Maven Central’s immutability policy:

Seconded, a great read and quite accessible. History chapters are interspersed with more mathematical ones. I would say having some basic math background is helpful but not totally necessary.

Also check out the YouTube videos of eigenchris, especially his series on tensor calculus and relativity. Probably the clearest explanations I’ve seen on these subjects.

Yes, at one time it was estimated that roughly 1/3 of Vancouver’s condo supply was vacant. So the city implemented an empty homes tax [0] and promptly raised $115,000,000 in tax revenue [1]. However, the tax is still far too low and it

Your first point is much less of a big deal than you think. Cook it thoroughly (easiest way is to simply grind up the meat first) and you’re fine. I don’t agree with your second point. It’s pretty good, especially spring bear. That said, I

This is exactly the comment I came here to make. The NoSql technical debt accretes like dead leaves blocking a sewer drain. Eventually someone has to wade in and normalize…the sewer grate, I guess. Okay, it’s not a perfect analogy.
