> Does a computer science major or engineering degree really need history or humanities classes? CS majors are members of society so absolutely without a doubt yes.

That article suggests electric trucks are suitable for 2/3 of garbage routes and 100% of street sweeping using technology that was already outdated in 2022. It also suggests NYC was moving forward with the program and bought seven more

Are trade schools four years now? When I was pursuing auto tech it was a two year program. I thought the benefit of vocational programs was the ability to be compressed because they don’t include the breadth of topics of a full undergradu

I really think home battery power is going to be a standard feature in the near future. Like indoor plumbing and central HVAC. My utility just adopted time of use billing and by my napkin math a battery system with one day of capacity will

People in India are poor but that doesn’t mean the country is poor. The Indian government has resources to build out renewables as evidenced by them doing exactly that. The United States does not provide much direct funding but you ar

You say you know then directly contradict yourself by bringing up consumption again. The United States already supports clean energy in India. India is not “poor”. It has a larger economy than the United Kingdom. 46.3% of India’s insta

Why the dig at Americans? This is nothing more than tock’s misinformed personal opinion. The United States does work with India to develop green energy. California is famous for green initiatives and my state of Washington trades clean

Yes. Even if you count the fossil fuel subsidies.

You seem to be conflating CO2 emissions with energy production.
313.
by mulmen 1y ago
I don’t follow. Energy demands can be met with renewables. We don’t have to decrease energy consumption at all. We only need to eliminate fossil sources.

by mulmen 1y ago
We don’t need to reduce energy consumption. We need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

I believe the concept you are looking for is scope 3 emissions.

Climate change isn’t driven by borders but energy policy is defined within them.
317.
by mulmen 1y ago
I don’t see the value of expressing a supply side issue in terms of demand. You can’t just ask people to choose clean energy. That happens from the top, not the bottom.

We all breathe the same air. Every state needs to do everything it can.

Serialization is a losing strategy here. “Focus” is irrelevant. We need fundamental shifts in energy production.

What does “deforested” mean? Isn’t agricultural land already deforested?

Per capita emissions aren’t relevant to climate impact. Neither are relative emissions between countries. This is a global issue.

I love Postgres and it is a shining example of how good software can be. Great job everyone, no notes. BUT Oracle has some killer features that PG just doesn’t. The first that comes to mind is for-real multi-master. Close second is dec

Tom Kyte’s take on this was always ridiculous: https://asktom.oracle.com/ords/f?p=100%3A11%3A0%3A%3A%3A%3AP... I’m glad to see this internet debate finally concluded.

Does that mean you ran PST during daylight savings time and half the year your logs were “off” by an hour? Or did you actually run Pacific Time and deal with the clock changes twice a year?

> trivial intermediary keywords (eg you define month_total, and then can re-use month_total in a following calculation, no need to duplicate the calculation logic) Postgres already has this.

Where in the system did they install the resistive wires? Is that a defroster on the evaporator (outside) or is it inline with the condenser?

Ah ok. Maybe that does make sense as a comparison to ask if you need an analytics stack or can just grind through your prod Dynamo.

by mulmen 1y ago
Are you asking how Dynamo compares at the storage level? Like in comparison to S3? As a key-value database it doesn’t even have a native aggregation capability. It’s a very poor choose for OLAP. BigQuery is comparable to DuckDB. I’m cur
