So what would be the difference between the two of them?
Iridescent_··on Lapce Editor 0.3
This is kind of a problem in that it reduces the number of potential early users, testers and ultimately contributors. Sure it is still early in its development process, but it is important work to do in order to gain traction.
Iridescent_··on Earth beyond six of nine planetary boundaries
If you have a pond with 1000 fishes, and each year the population of fish doubles, you can remove 501 fishes/year for quite a while. You are clearly in an unsustainable situation, yet it will take time for the population to completely collapse. These limits are in the sense that we cannot stay above forever, not in the we cannot go above ever sense.
Iridescent_··on Sucking carbon dioxide out of the sky is moving from science fiction to reality
You need to build carbon capture at emission sites however. Carbon density in regular air is too low for capture to be efficient, it needs to be captured as the air exits fossil fuel power plants, which is difficult enough as is (I believe we can reasonably get about two thirds of the CO2 this way) to not be enough at all. All in all, carbon capture is just a way to pretend to solve issues while only dealing with symptoms. GHG (and CO2) are just one of the many consequences of the excessive pressure our society has on our environment, and solving just one consequence won't save us from all the other (resource exhaustion, biodiversity collapse, GHG besides CO2).

Iridescent_··on Loneliness is stronger when not alone
Being alone when there is no one else is just normal. Being alone in the middle of everyone else is what loneliness is.
Iridescent_··on Master Emacs in one year
I would not imagine mastering VSCode or any Jetbrains suite product to take any less time.
Iridescent_··on The curious case of a memory leak in a Zig program
Because this is a specific allocator different from the general purpose allocator which is the "default" option. It is aimed at some specific use cases, when developers want to fine-tune their allocation strategies.
Iridescent_··on What I learned at Gitlab that I don't want to forget
Any chance a screen reader might help?
Iridescent_··on My thoughts on the Framework laptop
The "build" part is really just installing the SSD and RAM, which has been extremely easy even as a novice in terms of hardware thanks to how well-built the Framework is + installation manual available online. Do not let the "DIY" part scare you.
Iridescent_··on The optimal amount of fraud is non-zero
Yes, we should not accept the existence of fraud. We should simply be able to recognize the situations where fighting fraud is more costly than letting it exist. Not that it really matters in most places since we are quite far from that point anyways.
Iridescent_··on Show HN: Devbox – Easy, predictable shells and containers
Is it possible to pin a version of the dependencies? Is there any support for nix flakes?
Iridescent_··on Germany aims to get 100% of energy from renewable sources by 2035
We still don't have a good answer only if you refuse all the already existing answers. Geological storage has already been studied extensively and sites are already being constructed.
Iridescent_··on Org Mode 9.5
I wish org-mode supported text coloring. There are macros but you need to redefine them in every file and you must add support for all types of exports yourself. That's truly the only thing that bothers me every time I take notes/write small documents with it.
Iridescent_··on Subdomains for IPFS
That is because you can't access IPFS in a regular browser anyways so it is likely a Gateway which fetches IPFS pages for you.
