What I'm wondering is why can't we have this level of enthusiasm for actual environmental reform and the transition to clean energy?

_O&G industry has entered the chat_

O&G industry is the answer to your question. They have the motive to ensure that their energy production method is dominant and have the funds to send lobbyists to convince/pay off lawmakers/politicians to advance their mission.

Very interesting analysis and setup.

I wonder what is considered "unnecessary programs" by the author. Is "apparmor" or sandboxing considered in this? Or just user space applications (browser, discord, …).

I wonder if input latency would be improved if you ran setup as `root`. I wouldn’t do it for security sake, but just curious

Probably but now planning of these datacenters will now include power redundancy and a shit ton of backup power. Some commenters here think "just move dc to texas." Sounds like a good idea until you realize grid is nearly entirely separate from federal grid. State manages it and completely ignores any attempts to weatherize it.

2021 was an absolute disaster. There was a moment where the grid could have completely collapsed. But by some luck, the state avoided that.

Can they do that next time? Shall wait and see.

I think big money/private equity/vulture capitalists tend to ruin everything. They set these unrealistic goals and force companies to do shady shit in order to meet these often unattainable goals or achieve unicorn status.

It’s why con artists, scammers always flood every hype cycle. Greed ruins everything.

Apple has failed to live up to the Steve Jobs era and initial iPhone hype. It's not just "AI experiences", it's computing in general. Maybe the consumer sector is just dead/dying. Maybe consumers are just running out of cash because filthy VCs are destroying communities and forcing the 99% into poverty.

The one thing that is marginally exciting: the Apple SoC or M series chips.

It's unfortunate they are locked behind crappy macOS and other proprietary apple crap.

i have my own custom domain with a non ".com" TLD for e-mail and the number of services that reject sign ups for this purpose are way too high.

notably, micro center _was_ an issue but had to raise exception.

it's a neat experiment, obviously inspired by the bun guy.

but given the author/maintainer is essentially unknown, I highly doubt this will reach it's target audience. But one thing I do agree with is that postgres is long overdue for a re-write into a memory safe language.

also any real swe with more than a few years of experience knows "100% of regression suite passing" doesn't mean anything other than a neat checkmark for C-level executives.

Took them long enough. Now if only Google would follow with their own services.

Sure Gmail has ipv6 enabled and routable ip6 MX. but sending to those addresses is often rejected and forced to retry over ipv4.

Premier? How outdated. Should have named it "Waymo Supreme" for that extra generational cringe.

What’s up with the fake review?

What happens when the music stops?

Government hands Wall Street another bailout to the tune of trillions of dollars. Wall Street executives and hedge funds use funds to enrich themselves as usual. Main Street and tax payer get fisted again. These massive data centers go bust. Get gutted during bankruptcy and foreclosure proceedings Public deals with the fallout with no help from government.
