The issue is the Arctic is not likely to re-freeze even with Gulf Stream gone. This is a little bit like bi-stable switch. Once it switches one way it wants to be in that position until there is enough force to push it the other way.

Okay, so now the next thing we will have to put up with is literally green butter. Also, has anybody asked cows if they like to eat seaweed?

Have you understood what I wrote? Methane is being emitted in a natural process from thawing permafrost. There are vast quantities of organic matter that has been frozen for thousands of years and is now starting getting eaten by bacteria t

N2O is produced by people and we have choice to turn that production off or at least limit it. We can't control production of methane anymore.

Wait till they learn about methane. It is respectable 100 times more potent than CO2 and it is produced naturally in vast quantities in thawing permafrost. It is ironic that the biggest producer of greenhouse gasses will soon be Siberia.

I find files where the exact type of whitespace used is meaningful to be a sick joke. Not all editors make it easy for you to use a tab character. If only there was some other solution that would not require you to use a character that a lo

Just because most popular operating systems have libraries, doesn't yet mean it is portable. Can I click on it and open it in Excel? If not then it is not portable for me and for a lot of other people. The main reason I use CSV is to p

SQLite also requires external dependency and special execution environment and are not as portable as CSV.

Actually, it would save much more than 90 percent. More like 99.9%. Just take powerful magnet in your hand and start pushing through the haystack until you find it. Which, of course, requires that you somehow know of magnets beforehand. Whi

I don't agree. There is so much to learn about the world around us without even hitting physics limits. And then so much to do with that knowledge. I am not worried we will run out of problems to solve.

It is very unfortunate that in the world of ubiquitous information, ability to just look up a reasonable solution to a well known and well studied problem that has already been solved long ago is practically a superpower. As a developer, I

You borrow money, they want it back with interest. Have you ever borrowed money from mommy for lollipops? She probably didn't want it back, but other countries are not so nice.

That's 7 trillion dollars owed to other countries (about 1/3rd of all debt, by the looks of it). Nothing to sneeze at.

Nah... probably large portion of this was paid to US corporations and citizens. Spending on the level of government is counterintuitive. If you are government you hand out money but it gets back to you. Unfortunately, interest on that debt
