POPOSYS··on Ask HN: Working in tech for climate?
Does the meaning of SOTA appear here?

If no, please explain, thanks!

POPOSYS··on Ask HN: Working in tech for climate?
I am in a similar position like OP and find it quite hard not only to find offerings, but also to understand if the projects have some real impact or are just propaganda green-washing activities or even plain climate budget hijacking by dinosaur companies.

Look, even in this thread people are seriously (?) recommending working on Bitcoin for climate change - in a similar but mostly not so obvious way you can find "green jobs" that in fact are not green jobs at all.

Even "green minister" nowadays is no guarantee for doing the right thing.

E.g. look at Germany: the poor green Mr. Habeck who is now Minister of Economy must make decisions that are completely opposite of the green political program (because of Putin).

This is a good demonstration why you really need to double check "green" job offers and companies.

It would be great to have a validation service of climate job offers done by people with reputation. If you are living in the inner circles of the climate movement please talk about this idea, thanks!

Would you like to post the URLs of the most important climate job boards, please?
POPOSYS··on MIT invents $4 solar desalination device
Are you an expert in the field of desalination? Are you sure that a sand filter is a good tool for desalination?
POPOSYS··on Docusaurus 2.0
I do not see any print button - dou you mean web browser print "button"?

I did that - the resulting pdf can not be presented as documentation.

It is not satisfying even the most moderate requirements for a documentation pdf.

Generating only a website for documentation seems like a cultural step back.

POPOSYS··on Docusaurus 2.0
Sorry, but did you look at the example document? Could you really provide such a result to some serious documentation project? I guess not.
POPOSYS··on Docusaurus 2.0
I searched the documentation for "pdf" and did not find anything relevant - is it really true that this is not able to generate a PDF from the written text?

Generating a proper PDF document still seems a very basic requirement for anything that produces documentation.

I am sure I am missing something?

Is this AWS Lambda or what kind of "Lambda" is this about?

The SEC is in a complicity disaster.
POPOSYS··on How I write React after 8 years
The most interesting part: x people writing react for many years will have x completely different views on how things should be done.
POPOSYS··on Everyone seems to forget why GNOME and GNOME 3 and Unity happened
It is generally not of interest if you buy something or not.

For other readers it would be interesting to read evidence about the original article being wrong / right or more details that helps to better understand the situation.

POPOSYS··on Mullvad is now available on Amazon
Seems like you are new to the world, not only new to VPNs.

You might start investigating the state of planet earth by reading e.g. https://rsf.org/en and will find many other hints for more sources.

POPOSYS··on Mullvad is now available on Amazon
The VPN provider does not, but the owner of the data center still can store whatever she likes or some entity asks her to store.
POPOSYS··on Shipping Multi-Tenant SaaS Using Postgres Row-Level Security
This is interesting - do you have any hits / docs on how to implement that?
POPOSYS··on Shipping Multi-Tenant SaaS Using Postgres Row-Level Security
Would you like to explain the deal-breaker a little bit more? I do not understand the limitation you hit. It seems like it is no problem to access foreign keys in a different schema as long permissions do allow that. Thanks!
POPOSYS··on Shipping Multi-Tenant SaaS Using Postgres Row-Level Security
Would you please like to explain why "using their encryption keys is nothing but security theater"? Thanks!
POPOSYS··on The Dangers of Microsoft Pluton

Is it possible to realize this with Linux systems / networks today? Do you have any good project / description / URL? Thanks!
POPOSYS··on Standard Ebooks
Thank you very much for demonstrating that a website without JavaScript is still one very good way to produce a website!
POPOSYS··on Former Coinbase PM charged in cryptocurrency insider trading tipping scheme
Wait until you reach the exec level to better understand how internal control, audits, reviews etc. do exist to create a perfect facade and magically make everything legal that you want to be legal. Also it is a good protection from small fishes or other gangs trying to take over your game.
POPOSYS··on Framework Laptop (2022) review: the repairability dream
OK, I re-read the thread and in this case you are right - if it works flawless at least on one specific laptop, it can not "never work at all". Sorry for the disturbance.
POPOSYS··on Framework Laptop (2022) review: the repairability dream
Understanding that this company wants to change a whole industry with the idea that laptops are not disposable products and is competing against giants, I am reading your list of very minor complains about one of their first results as an attestation of an incredible success.

It is time to choose, brothers and sister - do you want to be the problem or do you want to be the solution?

POPOSYS··on Framework Laptop (2022) review: the repairability dream
I have a Thinkpad X1 3rd Gen that does not handle that flawlessly.

I do not want to discuss that, I just want to show the value of anecdotal evidence postings: zero.

POPOSYS··on Framework Laptop (2022) review: the repairability dream
The Framework product has a much bigger value: it demonstrates that it is possible to deliver a consumer product with less builtin obsolescence. If they can stay profitable long-term they will be an important POC that we do not need to maximize obsolescence for a company to survive.
POPOSYS··on DALL·E now available in beta
Unfortunately the content of that project is a hostage of Facebook now - similar to ransomware gangsters they force you to do something to get the data, in this case you need to create an account and take part in that global surveillance network. I do not understand why people do that.
POPOSYS··on Cooling related failure (in Google London DC)
If you are really that interested in the content of a status page of one cloud service provider you should redesign your infra.

The value proposition of "cloud" for is not "I can haz cloud of big corp as my own" but "I can haz many cloudz to make resilient infra!".

If you rely on one cloud provider you are doing it wrong.

POPOSYS··on Cooling related failure (in Google London DC)
This reads like:

"Oh, tanks by that foreign army are rolling into our cities - should we start thinking about a defense system?"

Global warming will affect every aspect not only of your business, but also of your life, maybe a little bit later when you are rich and can afford to live in a self-created bubble, but it will.

Yes, you should think about it. Hard. Now.

POPOSYS··on Show HN: Inflation-adjusted stock charts – Total Real Returns
It is very important to apply modern norms to historical figures - to better understand the past and how misaligned ideas / movements / behaviors from the past can be in the present.
POPOSYS··on Cryptomator – Encrypt files on your cloud storage
Thanks for your quick reply - interesting, will take a look!

BTW the reverse mount turns out to be a very useful feature that solves many problems with large file systems!
