Even if you throw out the zero sum logic, you need to make sure decarbonization investments aren’t being used as an excuse to avoid more inconvenient changes that actually reduce emissions.

by danielhep 9d ago
My understanding has been that carbon capture is extremely expensive for the amount of carbon you can capture, so it’s almost always better to just invest in other carbon reduction projects like electrification. Has that changed?

Almost every email is going to or coming from US servers anyway. Better to treat email as insecure and use something else for more secure communication.

For me it was search. The proton apps are the only way to access email on mobile, and on them and on their webapp the search barely functioned, even with full text search downloaded. The only way to reliably search my email was with Proton

I don’t think that’s really true of driving, pedestrians and cyclists are at a much higher risk of getting killed by a driver than a driver themself. There are huge negative externalities to driving

I love fastmail, I switched from Proton a couple years ago after deciding the trade offs to have encrypted email were not worth it, since even if I fully trust Proton, most emails come from or go to AWS, Outlook, or Gmail anyway. I have bee

I did the same except switched to fastmail. I love it, it’s such a great service.

Sorry, I meant ridership per capita. In Seattle about 15% of people commute via transit (and I believe it’s the fastest increasing in the country), but LA is 6% and flat. Seattle’s geography is conducive to transit, because there are many b

Interesting! How long ago was that? Seattle has higher transit ridership than both those cities and is rapidly expanding its transit system. I believe we are still leading the pack in transit ridership growth yoy. Maybe you were here before

Depends on the city. In LA, yes it’s very hard to live without a car. I live in Seattle and I live car free as well as many of my friends. It’s not that we can’t afford it, we’ve just built our lives around transit and biking and the city i

Even if you split up the bundle you will still need multiple round trips to the server to fetch the data.

I mean the state from the client, like cookies and URL params. You can get access to that in SSR through the framework specific APIs like getServerSideProps in Next, but it’s not a great solution.

by danielhep 5mo ago
SSR is different and does not provide the same performance of RSCs. With SSR you get the advantage of an initially rendered page, but you don’t have access to data or state. So you are just rendering placeholders until it hydrates and the c

by danielhep 5mo ago
Without RSC you have to wait for the user to download the application bundle before the request for content can even be sent to the server. So that means that the db queries and stuff are not even initiated until the client has the bundle a

Transit lines in many countries do support themselves by increasing productivity and tax revenue near the stations. It is not as direct as in Japan, where the train company itself captures the value created by its stations, but it’s effecti

This problem, along with general annoyances at Proton’s lack of focus on a good email experience pushed me over the edge to move to Fastmail. I’m so much happier. Proton Mail Bridge would often pin one core of my laptop CPU, draining my bat

How is Skip’s support for building apps with maps or other more complex UIs? Can I build map overlays that work cross platform?

What’s the end game for these scammers once they get the job? I understand there’s a question of espionage if they’re collecting intel from these companies, but do they also do their jobs? Or do they disappear as soon as they’re hired and c

This is really cool. I work on OpenTripPlanner at work and it’s neat to see this implementation of a “competing” open source routing engine. It seems like the scale at which this software runs is very different to OTP, but it still has some
