What happened? Mass exodus of people from NY due to covid / work from home? Serious question, I haven't seen any articles about this so just guessing

Also, planting trees sequesters co2 into the biosphere. That is not good enough, we need to be sequestering co2 into the geosphere if we want to remove it from the equation

I visited Death Valley in the summer year ago. I remember the birds would line up in the narrow shadows cast by the telephone poles to stay out of the sun.

Too many big carbon emitters don't shut-down easily, and the cost to start them backup is likely higher (steel processing, container ships, power plants, etc)

Yeah it's the complete opposite of niche. It's the fundamental understanding of processes, signals, syscalls, memory that every modern computing system is based upon.

C and how to debug it. If you understand the system a layer of abstraction or two below the layer you work in, you will be able to debug deeper. Learn system calls, Various ways how to examine processes. I learnt a lot of this back in the

In this specific case I would sell at a lower multiple to someone in the niche community. The amount of money to be made by selling someone who wants to exploit the userbase isn't worth tarnishing my reputation and subsequently shooti

I have a niche iOS app that makes between $200-400 monthly. I would sell it to someone who would continue to grow it because I would rather build new things than continue to add content to the app.

I'm pretty sure we had covid in March 2020, and my wife has since then been extremely tired - like needs a 2 hour nap every afternoon and in bed by 8pm - and brain foggy. She's had concussions in the past, so I haven't been

I also don't drive a really big car, and I think it's stupid as well. So, now we're at two things I don't do because they're bad for the environment.

At least some of these CEOs fomented the wokeness and tried to utilize it until it became a liability. I worked at one of the companies mentioned in the article, and remember the CEO saying at town halls "there is no better company tha

Your first sentence is correct. I'm quite happy using it the way I use it and don't hit any really sharp edges. Thanks for the link, I remember when Hooks came out but I didn't feel the need to adopt them, I'll take a l

I use React (well, Preact) every day. I use it 2014-style. Class-based components, componentWillMount, render, callbacks, and that's about it. I love this workflow, and generally structure all my UIs this way regardless of platform -

Would love to see WebMIDI, but I suspect the options are alternate browsers in the App Store that are WKWebView's implementing it as a shim, or it will have to be added by Apple. I don't think they're letting extensions actu

I've been thinking about this, and if that CO2 tax results in that less CO2, who feels the brunt of it? What does it look like to people? Is everything 20-50% more expensive, so we buy less of it? Would be great to see the CO2 reduc

I asked the question because I was actually wondering your thoughts, like, maybe I'm being too negative to think what has been done so far has been far from what's necessary. I wasn't trying to be cynical about it. In terms

Do you think those policies are anywhere on the scale necessary to meet the climate change goals he has set out?

Our PM also walks behind the US and reiterates whatever climate target they state, like X % by 2030 and y % by 2050. I have seen exactly 0 plan on how to get there. I suspect he'll retire in 2029.

Nice blog post! I read the whole thing. I'm working on something with multiplayer using an unbounded queue of command events, so I learnt a few things about that situation. If you have any posts that elaborate on the typical infrast

Looks like you're trying to reinvent some wheels there. No harm in doing so but just so you know, React (or my preference, a tinier version called Preact) would let you update new chat contents without blowing away all the other InnerH

A really good book is "The Idea Factory" by Jon Gertner. It describes Bell Labs in this period, and through the book basically tells the story of where modern life was born: everything from growing crystals to transistors to cell

I was going to get an axidraw but on a whim I checked locally and scored a HP7475a for $60 and got it working. So definitely worth looking around a bit before going with new!
