Who, aside from you, is giving anyone shit here? I'm not saying ShutIt shouldn't exist; I'm asking what, if anything, makes learning it a worthwhile use of my time. Should the answer to that question be "nothing", it's still no judgment on ShutIt's existence; it's just a piece of information useful to people who calibrate their expenditure of attention perhaps differently from the way in which you do.
Perhaps, perhaps not. With enough CO2 in the atmosphere, we could trigger an irreversible cascade. We'll essentially turn the planet into a second Venus. Your glib confidence is misplaced, as there isn't anyone who can say for certain how this will turn out.
Not any more than your Chicken Little "sky is falling" schtick.
"Glib", indeed.
Your "Venus" idea is absurd. The CO2 level in the Earth's atmosphere is currently around 400 ppm. It's been as high as 8,000 ppm in the geologic past without the Earth turning into Venus.
Venus's atmosphere, by comparison, is 96.5% CO2. That's 965,000 ppm.
It should be obvious that a) all of the CO2 in fossil fuels was in the atmosphere at one time (that's what "fossil fuel" means) and b) the Earth did not have Venus-like conditions when it was.
While this should never be the goal, it's really easy to convince me to do this. Give me an impossible problem and the agency and support I need to accomplish it. And finally, actually reward me for success.
Give me a project of busy work or "connecting lego" as we call it, and you'll be lucky if you get that 2-4 hours the responder is referring to.
No, they're not. To quote from the linked Wikipedia article:
> the court held that sending a cease-and-desist letter and enacting an IP address block is sufficient notice of online trespassing, which a plaintiff can use to claim a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
If someone wants to block Google, they can simply add a robots.txt entry. An IP block would work too. (Sending a cease-and-desist letter might or might not also work, but it doesn't really matter - context and intent matters in court; Google accepting the standard robots.txt as a 'go away' signal should be more than sufficient.)
I'm guessing he lives within a few miles of the American border. It gets a lot colder than that up here. I remember in college trying to find a kitten on a farm that escaped the house for a girl I was into. No idea what the temperature was, it only had markings to -50c (-58f) and all the mercury was in the reservoir. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long to freeze a little kitten in those temperatures.
I grew up in Edmonton and you have to be honest, -35C is an extreme temperature that is only rarely reached. Almost every winter gets to -20C or -25C but -35C can happen but isn't an every winter let alone every day occurrence.
And anyways... it's a dry cold :-) Winters here in southern Ontario are fairly mild but they feel worse to me than where I grew up. A damp -10C is just awful, so hard to get rid of the cold feeling everywhere.
It's usually the deepest part of the winter - I think we'll usually get one week where it's -30 and dips (occasionally) beyond, with the rest of winter being -25C at its coldest.
North Dakota and Minnesota are colder than Montana (at lower elevations too). Take a look at the climate data for Fargo, ND for instance, significantly colder than Calgary. It's colder because it's more continental, and you often see a big bubble of arctic air dipping down on the weather map.
Calgary is a bit of an outlier, they get a weather phenomena called chinooks. It's not uncommon for them to get several periods throughout the winter where their temperatures are above freezing due to these chinooks.
Jira is great if you have the time to learn and customize it, but I wouldn't recommend it to a single guy with a single repo. You really need multiple roles with multiple workflows for it to be of value. It's overkill for a team of 5 or less.
At 100% zoom you will see that they have different sizes. Noise has usually the same size (the size of one pixel on the sensor, if not using bayer filtering).
Then you take a look at the XDF[1], showing ~5500 galaxies like this one in a tiny angular diameter, and you realize how big the Universe is.
It's cool hey! That image covers the same area as approximately four full moons, 2.3 arcminutes by 2 arcminutes. [1]
So, back of the envelope calculation multiplying 5500 by the area of the full sky (as though the earth were invisible) we get ~242 billion galaxies, which is close to what this[2] claims at 100 to 200 billion galaxies.
The moon is about 30 arcminutes across (half a degree) [0], which is considerably larger than the area of the Extreme Deep Field. But the estimate of the number of galaxies is okay.
The Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (of which the Extreme Deep Field is a part) is one thirteen-millionth part of the full sky. [1]
The full sky is about 41,253 square degrees in size. [2]
I think the HXDF is one 32-millionth of the full sky. If so,
multiplying 32 million by the 5500 galaxies in the XDF gives on the order of 200 billion galaxies, as you said.
Yes, you're right, thanks for the correction: the Extreme Deep Field image is smaller than the moon. I neglected to click on the image at [1], thereby missing the detail in the full size image[2].
You mean the game that AMD is giving away for free with it's cards right now, to showcase it's cards, which has been optimized completely for AMD cards is outperforming nVidia cards? I'm shocked.
I started with screen, but moved to tmux around 5 years ago. For me, the sell was in custom layouts, and the no nonsense screen splitting. I usually work on several different project types, and have a scripted layout for each the of project types. This makes getting started in the morning instant.
Tmux is great, but only after customizing it and making it your own, and this can take a fair bit of time. If you find yourself shelling into remote servers you don't control, or want to use it on Windows prior to Windows 10, then screen is probably a better choice. While tmux could be used on windows through cygwin, I never found it to be stable enough for day to day use.
