No, it is just part of the cycle. It stores CO2 but only temporarily. I remember some statistics that humanity is emitting more new carbon into atmosphere every decade that entire mass of biosphere. So if you think about it, our biosphere

It all depends on your application. I worked on one which was required to respond to a packet from the network within 5 microseconds of the packet arriving. Please, don't assume all applications are mobile uis, webapps and corporate ba

One problem with the article is they again claim trees take away carbon from atmosphere. This is only true if you look at short term. In long term trees do nothing to CO2 because they only participate in a CYCLE . For carbon to be permanen

I would be cautious about that kind of statement. Moving out of their country is just what dictatorships want. To do their thing undisturbed.

Congratulations. You just discovered the simple fact of life that you can do everything much faster when you don't need half your population to agree on it and don't need to spend your whole focus on getting their approval to be r

This can be stated more generically by saying, that in the past it was possible to tell what a line of code does in Java. This is what you pay for when you bear costs of strong typing -- being able to say what is that thing holding. But tha

I think it has more to do with habits of the mind. You need to be willing to explore and be inquisitive. You need to be able to read more difficult books (than entry level) like Let over Lambda or On Lisp and try to understand every sentenc

That language already exists and it is called *Lisp. In a proper Lisp you can take anything that in a regular language would be a language feature and implement it as a library.

That's what happens when the language has "history". Of course when they design a new language they try to incorporate all the features that developers demand at the moment in a way that makes sense. But once the language i

Haha:) That's how I feel, too. I got new appreciation when it became my responsibility to care for productivity of a lot of people. Often people bring in new toys just to have some change in their work environment. I select for people

That's basically what is happening in Java, too. I have been programming Java for the past 20 years and I do enjoy new features. And I would like couple more features myself. But I am also tech lead for a lot of new developers which I

I program multiple languages including Common Lisp. I don't buy that Common Lisp is too large. I would say the opposite is true. The base language is rather simple and what you mistake for language are just standard library. What is co

I assume everybody understands there WILL be deaths due to AI making some kind of mistake. It is just a consequence of billions of cars making trillions of trips. But at the very least we should have a clear, reliable solution for all the

"Not perfect". Yes, killing pedestrians is not perfect. I mean, seriously. You are too fucking optimistic guys. Go back to the drawing board. If your program can do that you are way off from the target. You can't write softwa

by lmilcin 5y ago
It is still useful to be able to answer "What was your chance of dying of covid compared to all other types of deaths based on your vaccination status". Because if you can't do that you can compare data even with the status a

I am looking forward to get everybody else vaccinated before I am getting 3rd dose. Any dose is best spent vaccinating an unvaccinated person, even if looking from a purely selfish point of view of already vaccinated population. There is al

I think you need to read it again. Especially table 1. In the data they have they found that: 1. For all unvaccinated people, they had 38,964 covid-related deaths and 65,170 of other, non-covid-related deaths of unvaccinated people. 2. For

I think the wire mesh expansion and contraction is not such a huge issue for a number of reasons. First of all, you will probably want to make observations when not illuminated by the Sun, so that the receiver is shielded by the mass of the

So you say keeping streets clean is unimportant? I think you are blind to basic human values. If we left it to companies to determine who gets paid and who does not we would have half of population starve to death.

That only works if your customers are willing to pay for employees to be paid better. As it is, it seems most people do not give a fuck about it and will still choose a store that is cheaper. Actually, everybody knows Walmart or Amazon empl

You can get to know how many people have natural immunity without testing them all. In a country as large as US it would be enough to test probably one in 10 thousand people to get accurate statistics.
