- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 1 week ago:
Yes they have already reconciled that it is already happening now. They are figuring out how to stop it so that all life on Earth doesn’t go extinct…

Well it could be used as an effective carbon storage after you strip off the hydrogen and bury it in the ground. I believe that they call that a reverse coal mine… I think we could even exploit current US government stupidity to fund it by mentioning coal
- Comment on Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems. 5 weeks ago:
Modern developers simply were not ever taught the old ways. The old ways are light years ahead in terms of optimization and efficiency than what modern developers can even imagine. Imagine creating a C compiler and it has to run in 16KB of RAM and be powerful enough to build unxz, untar and sha256sum. Because it was done because they needed it.

- Comment on open question: where's the line between multi-tasking and monasticism? 1 month ago:
About 15 minutes.
If you can work on a single thing for blocks of 15 minutes size. Then you will context switch at the human mind’s natural frequency. Anything shorter and you’ll be operating at decreased IQ. Anything longer will not produce meaningful improvements.
- Comment on Little quick question: what do you think of advertising from a Marxist perspective? 1 month ago:
Sounds more like improving search and providing high quality information resources could eliminate the need for advertising altogether.

When entire state governments can fit in a single Rack, why bother?
