Not that anyone likely cares, but I just refactored my #emacs config away from literate org-mode, into a collection of specific elisp files. The top level init.el is now quite clean.
I got tired of having to edit source blocks in the org-mode config and having to preload org-mode just to load my config, all just so it looks prettier (?) when reading it on github.
The elisp files still have sections, rg can search them just fine. I'm happy. https://github.com/garyo/emacs-config
⚡ 12 cents per mile ⚡ for electricity-- seems like a good deal.
(depending on how much power costs). Hooked a "watt meter" in the 110v cord to my 2014 electric smart car, and have been buzzing around San Francisco for a couple of days.
measured ~3 miles per kWh, and this site said 35cents/kWh in San Francisco last month. (2x national avg)
The Right to Repair movement gives us hope. This is wisdom from the community. It started at a community level. Apple et al tried to destroy it but couldn't. Then, government paid attention. So, a community-driven movement took on the biggest brands and won.
"The right to repair movement is a growing global phenomenon that advocates for policies allowing consumers to repair their electronic devices independently."
@georgetakei Physics Girl (Dianna) is amazing. Here's hoping she beats Long COVID or whatever it is she's got. And her partner is truly wonderful too. Inspirational.
I appreciate #Logseq’s focus on data protection and user privacy, but asking me for my password every time I need to write something down, on every device, is not exactly what I’d call productive.
It’s actually one of the reasons I began using Logseq less and less over the last months. Yes, it’s secure, but if I can’t remember what I wanted to write down, do I really care?
@preslavrachev Agreed. As a #logseq early adopter and daily user on multiple devices, this really slows me down. I may go back to syncing logseq with syncthing. That was seamless and nearly instant.
Lost in the breathless, non-stop coverage of Biden’s age is the fact that most of Trump’s former cabinet members are literally warning us he’s mentally and temperamentally unfit to serve again in office.
Press, stop creating a false presidential competency issue, like you did a false email server issue. Just stop it.
Globally we produce A LOT of #energy, but did you know the majority of fossil energy gets wasted? In the US alone, two-thirds of that energy is wasted as heat.
As Hannah Ritchie has pointed out, we don’t actually need to produce a low carbon equivalent of all of the coal, oil & gas we currently use.
That means we can decarbonize quickly by being less wasteful & more efficient. #ClimateChange#science
If you'd have told me 2 or 3 years ago that a real-time wastewater surveillance algorithm would become the primary way to detect Covid on the rise, I wouldn't have believed it. But it is now:
@erictopol sadly, yes it is the best we have now, since the total shutdown of test and trace. The good side is it's automatic and accurate. The bad side is it's population wide - does not help us identify risky behaviors, venues, or situations.
@erictopol None of my family unit has had Covid yet. We are cautious. But reading through that website, I don't see how it justifies the conclusion you mention. Could you clarify? Are you saying that 75% infection-induced seroprevalence among blood donors (as of Nov '22) generalizes to the whole population, and it has stopped increasing in 2023?
CORRECTED: Greenland ice sheet melt as of 27 June 2023. But not a new record. Given the current +ve sea surface temperature anomaly in the North Atlantic, will be 'interesting' to see how high this goes and for how long. #ClimateEmergency
State Farm has stopped accepting new home insurance applications in #california due to #climatechange risks. This is a wakeup call if there ever was one.
