Now look at the volume on the NASDAQ :D


The trees won't all die at once.


I've been building Angular apps for 3 years now, and all projects I've built have had a "relatively light" frontend, meaning little to no business logic there.

Angular as a framework doesn't prevent you from doing anything on the backend. It's all about the re-usable components imo.


We are not in the early stages anymore.


Geologically we are.


If only someone would invent something that could be stuck into the ground that would just suck CO2 out of the air. Hmmm...


... and never release it again, unlike trees.


It doesn't need to be stored forever. As trees die and are farmed, they are replaced by new ones. Large forests in conjunction with reduced CO2 emission and renewables is the best answer to climate change, not some band-aid to mask the problem.

Land usage is abysmal, and there's a lot of waste. Stop cutting down trees and stop urban sprawl.

As a side effect we might just be able to stop a mass extinction due to loss of habitat.


I agree there's a lot of waste but with the population expected to go up by 3-4 billion in the next decade that urban sprawl is not going to stop, and we're going to need 2x more land for food, especially as we're overfishing our acidified oceans today. Bio capture it's just not feasible because of the land required


Let's be honest, no one has ever had to farm for Rupees in Zelda :)


Having to farm for rupees is the reason I never finished the Windwaker. That damn reinforce hunt quest sucked all the air out of the room and destroyed the game's momentum entirely.


No, this is using the force-directed graph api provided by d3.

It's pretty slow on mobile.


Do you know of any good resources on storing/maintaining video files? I recently ripped over a TB of uncompressed video from old 8mm tapes and I'd like to preserve these memories digitally for as long as possible.


Lossless x264 (with FLAC audio) in MKV with a recent version of FFMPEG.


Better store the sourcecode of the exact version used for transcoding/playback and back it up propperly too. You might need to re-recreate the binaries in dozens of years from now.


Has anyone heard the crazy theory that alphago bugged out because of daylight savings (the cutover happened mid-game)? Anyone know the exact time at which alphago made its first wonky move?


Most people's eyes are affected by modern lifestyle (all day staring at a computer screen). Eyes are muscles, use 'em or lose 'em. Looking at a two dimensional plane all day instead of constantly focusing on things at varying distances makes your eyes weaker. I bet a lot of us devs who wear glasses now and have terrible eyesight would have been better off in the olden days in terms of vision health.


i was 5 years old when they mounted ashtrays on my face due to really bad astigmatism. my family only had a black and white tv back then, i didn't watch much tv until much later in life.

not entirely sure your theory applies, to me at least.

i think you see much more people with bad eyesight nowadays as life/nature does not kill us off immediately. with minimal corrections we can be productive members of society (unlike 5k years ago).
