We are currently overtaxing natural resources, human population cannot grow unbounded without many unpleasant consequences. To me, it’s not a problem if we reach a steady state or even start a slow downward trend.
But, we must turn away from “line goes up” methods for measuring success, which are pretty deeply ingrained in most of our economies.
well fuck, that spoiled a couple of other Aliens movies for me.
Oh my god stop with the “moderates told us” stuff, it’s such an obvious attempt to split people apart.
Performance is the major flaw with microkernels that have prevented the half-dozen or more serious attempts at this to succeed.
Incurring context switching for low-level operations is just too slow.
An alternative might be a safe/provable language for kernel and drivers where the compiler can guarantee properties of kernel modules instead of requiring hardware guarantees, and it ends up in one address space/protection boundary. But then the compiler (and its output) becomes a trusted component.
If you also do this for the container you drain old oil into, you will be able to see if your car is starting to shown signs of oil consumption issues.
E.g. if you know you fill with 3.7qt, and you drain less than 3.7qt, you know you need to start checking the oil level every few fillups.
This kind of neglect of proper maintenance is why it started burning oil at 100k.
If you want your engine to last, you change the oil every 5000 to 7500 miles.
yeah, communities should have subject tag sets. I don’t care for anime or sports or video games - i should be able to turn off those tags. Not block 50 different game communities ad hoc
Surge suppressors do not drop extra voltage to ground. They selectively short out surges between whatever two conductors have a high potential between them.
No ground conductor means there cannot be a high potential between it and anything else!
They should make up 7% - 10% of all such representations, right? I think I have seen that many, but I mostly watch nerdy youtube stuff, where the presenter’s sexuality is either not mentioned or several instances of them undergoing a gender transition, which is noticeable.
It’s just that 20+ posts a day is kind of a lot. You’re dominating the feed.
What about relative energy (energy per mass) - if poop is less energy dense than the protein/fat of your tissues, excreting it should increase your energy density
