A solution mentioned a few times here is to take the patch as suggested by the maintainer, but to give a 'co-author' credit to the person who did all the debugging. This gives the best code quality (or at least style match) and st

If your server reaches out to user-provided URLs, it can be a big deal. Especially with DNS rebinding, remote users can bind domains to 127.0.0.1. Which avoids cors like protections.

Those ions can easily remain disolved, even in the presence of many other compouns. Many other ions are quite likely to bond to other ions, causing them to bind and fall out of solution.

There is a slight amount of salt in the rivers, but it is very low. In the oceans, this accumulates, but the water evaporates. Hence the salt content goes up whilst the water volume remains constant (ignoring ice melt) which means the salt

You can produce energy by disolving salt in fresh-water. That means there has to be a hard phyisical energy limit to desalinating water, otherwise you get a free energy producing machine. The energy required happents to go into separating t

On ocean scale, the waste won't do anything horrible. But on local scales, near the waste dump location, the waste will damage local ecosystems and water quality. It takes a lot of time for the salt to just diffuse out over the ocean.

You might counter that modern farms have massive hidden internal costs in depreciation of soil quality, with long term yields being suppressed, and vulnerability to drought massively raised. Hence these better farms should do much better on

Why start on labor costs, and then end on land usage? If healthy farming is limited by labor costs, the result of automation would hopefully be the pickup of healthy farming. The benefits going to quality of produce, long term soil sustaina

Modern farms don't handle water infiltration, and soil degradation very well. It takes more than one plant to hold water in the soil rather than letting the water (and soil) run off immediately once it rains. Similarly to keep soil in

In order for the execution to exhibit undefined behavior, on windows it would require 25 days as a retry period, whilst Linux would require much more. In practice the likelihood of someone passing that value is rather low.

Giving the human some 'vigilance prompts' 25% of the time, with consequences for missing them, seems like an easy fix. Such prompts might be completely AI generated, or just flip the AI decision under review.

Yes, heat pumps are more efficient. But they require lots more infrastructure. Not only is that going to be expensive and thus impopular. It will also be a delayed transition, and use up an incredible amount of resources. Not that we should

I meant to do the CO2 capture at gas furnaces in homes. Because the electric power available for heating is ofte limited, but might still be sufficient to gather CO2 from the exhaust of the furnace. It'll cost energy, but it is a chea

Might be better of extracting the carbon and just storing it, rather than releasing it again. Net-zero is nice, but extraction and storage is net-negative.

Estimates I found (in one article, I linked it somewhere else) put the energy usage of CO2 capture from ambient air at about 2800kwh per ton of CO2, someone else calculated one ton of CO2 would produce 376kg of propane. Which is about 5254

It's easy to capture at places that produce lots of CO2. Say fossil fuel electricity plants, and apparently also the production of Cement. Long term, these sources will hopefully dissapear. But short term, concentrated sources of CO2 a

According to this article: https://www.rechargenews.com/energy-transition/the-amount-of... The cost of carbon capture straight from the air is about 10GJ per Tonne (they quote 8.8 and 14 from competing sources). Which

The value lies in the fact that we already have a lot of infrastructure (including storage) that uses propane. By switching from fossil propane to this green propane we can indirectly 'electrify' entire swaths of energy consumptio

That is when using propane for electricity. I think there is a lot more value in burning propane for heating houses. Especially in places (like Europe where I live) that are already build to use gas for heating. Especially if you consider t

We will need all the electrification we can get for electric cars and heat pumps. offloading some of that to other energy sources, using pre-existing infrastructure, would be amazing!

The point was that for depression, exercise is a treatment. Whilst for ME/CFS, exercise is harmful. Hence it is important to make a distinction between the two, so you give proper treatment.
