0.3 mm/yr * 26 yr = 7.8 mm Antarctica's contribution to sea level rise per year is fairly small. The largest portion comes from loss of land-ice like mountain glaciers and snow pack. Mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet is also

Has tox matured into a usable system? I last tried it about two years ago and had too many problems with setting it up to suggest it to friends. Looking for a good non-centralized encrypted video chat.

This article discusses the benefits of having a 'pure hobby' that you perform for personal enjoyment (not necessarily to turn a profit). Whether your chosen employment enables you to purchase a home (as a single individual?) seems

The insecurity of many of the popular package managers (pypi, npm, crates) and the wholesale reliance of so many software systems on these managers seems like a massive security risk. While I appreciate the simplicity of getting an up to da

Had a similar thought, but around C++. auto types and lambda functions are the ones that come to my mind. I am sure there are more features making their way into modern C++ versions.

The runaway effects are exactly the concern. Check out research on methane clathrates in the Mesozoic. Methane is 24x as potent a GHG than CO2. When you see the gas flares in hydrocarbon production fields it may look like a waste (it is), b

It looks like this isn't FOSS ($50 for a single website per year). The hosting structure is the same (self-hosted/you are on your own). Compared to Matomo this seems to work on SQLite in addition to MySQL.

The problem is also around people artificially liking and commenting on your own posts (if they are public). I had encountered this last year when I was running a photography project and I would have to deal with fake accounts posting on ev

I agree with your point that there should be some baked in capability for a more comprehensive check on the HTTP response. There are probably some edge cases around this regarding stream=True (load header only, not content) and iter_content

I am confused about the test used here. The `requests` docs very plainly state that `Response.ok` only checks the status code. Looking into the codebase proves that as well. Is there a status code for "I am going to send bad-length con

I had tried to implement similar blocks through uBlock Origin and similar browser addons, but this seems to be the most robust method as I use multiple different browsers on my primary computer. Also, editing a hosts file does nothing on FB

I understand that bootstrapping the database is probably the hardest part, but I haven't been so confident in MyFitnessPal's database anyways. It seems crowdsourced without much quality control and it is hard to trust. There is al

What software are you using? I have found PDAL[0] to be very simple to run with docker, though building from source is a bit consuming, especially as you reach out for more plugins you didn't realize you wanted initially. PDAL is my cu

Big numbers don't "guarantee life", rather they make it "very unlikely there isn't life". It is the same way that "an absence of evidence is not evidence of an absence". Secondly, it remains a challen

You are entirely right that almost any change you make on an individual level will not stack up enough to transform the world to carbon neutral or carbon negative. Actions must be collective. Help your neighborhood, city, state, build and i

Nice enough design work. But as someone who works in the climate data space I think there isn't much value add here. CO2 data is already free and open and not challenging to use. It seems like a half-wasted use of electricity and contr

Recognizing it is a little tangential to this article, it seems to me there would be a great benefit to the USA's domestic environmental policy if the Iowa caucus wasn't so early. Food to fuel is a tragic waste of resources.
