0.5kg of CO2 per kWh is the average for electric grids around the world. 1kg of wood produces around 2kg of CO2, every 400g of firewood gives you 1 kWh, so 0.8kg CO2/kWh. That’s slightly worse than mining. Bitcoin is wasteful in its to

Benchmarks have shown negligible performance difference between 8 and 16GB models for editing multiple 4K video streams and other pretty intensive tasks. What kind of software do you run?

Loudness normalization happens on the client, and can be opted-out. What is it then? At any rate, if this new offering can match Apple Music quality then it’s a win - and not “pure marketing”.

Send me to hell if Spotify is mastering or applying EQ to any tracks. That would be egregious. It’s definitely about compression. Implementations can differ significantly for the same formats, as anyone who remembers the initial MP3 frenzy

I can guarantee it’s not. A simple comparison between Spotify and Apple Music shows you with no doubt that Apple is doing something better with regards to compression, it sounds a lot more defined, so there is clearly room for improvement f

The real you is beyond that timeline already. None of those simulations is “you”, so comparing the simulation runtimes to actual life experience (the 99% you mentioned) makes little sense.

Is it “your” experience though? Those never make their way back to the original brain.

> This reduces the necessary computational load required in fast-forwarding the upload through a cooperation protocol Thinking of what a “cooperation protocol” might entail is very chilling. Reminds me of an earlier black mirror episode.

It’s niche is being a high level typed language with extremely nice syntax, while having speed that competes with Rust/Go and others. The best thing that can happen is for it to get its own life away from Ruby.

Autovivification was one of the most painful features I’ve had to live with - in a large codebase it completely erases trust on any kind of defined() check and breaks all sorts of things unexpectedly. Yet another horrible hack in Perl that

It didn’t take long, this approach was around years before Electron came in. But the reason Electron picked up is precisely the stable APIs with cross-platform compatibility that comes from bundling chromium. You won’t get that here.

Strongly recommend reading the book - they had tons of accountability as critical projects were handed to them on tight deadlines. Yes, working on cool stuff, but delivering at an extremely high level.

> who craved to enjoy a burger or sip on a cola On the other hand, presenting a burger and cola as some kind of innate need for a child also seems off - enjoying a birthday cake, a lemonade or a lasagna are already damning enough...

Ah, “shitty durability guarantees” comes from the container orchestration, not any downside of cloud hardware. I mixed up two likely reasons :)

Yeah, technically better, at the cost of huge complexity. CommonJS was easy to implement anywhere and dead simple. We only need static analyzers and tree-shaking optimizations because the JS ecosystem went wild on dependencies. I honestly t

Node came out way before any of these features were invented, and the ES committee knowingly broke compatibility when designing for the browser. Modules are supported since v14 but you have to opt in.

You said docker. Doesn’t matter where it’s physically running, just that the persistence guarantees are not the same for containers.

The study uses decades old data. Since the late 90s cars have very little smell, they actually use a perfume to imitate it.

Cloud volumes are usually IOPS-challenged and have shitty durability guarantees. If you’re going this route you should use a VPS or dedicated server instead.
