UV is super fast and great for environment management, however it's not at all well suited to a containerised environment, unless I'm missing something fundamental (unless you like using an env in your container that is).

Re:Start calculating digital carbon emissions in 5 minutes with CO2.js
on Saturday June 08, 2024 @05:59PM (#40620446)
I am extremely skeptical about this sort of thing - I suspect that it's extremely challenging to reliably make assertions about the carbon cost of running a given website given that there are so many unaccountable-for variables; at best the very "edge" of any carbon usage is being guessed at.
Added to that the opportunities for charging the various parties for "certification" are simply too good to pass up it seems.

Not on board with this, other than the advantages that solutions like Pulumi have over 2nd gen IaC tooling like TF.
Pulumi is far more extensible and composable than anything else I've seen out there.

Re:‘Less than half’ fresh produce sold globally makes any profit

From TA: "Those increases, the report says, were driven by costs of fertiliser (up 60 per cent worldwide), construction (+48 per cent), fuel and gas (+41 per cent), shipping rates (+40 per cent), and electricity (+40 percent)."
All of the drivers are energy related - I'd hypothesise this is the result of climate policies impacting energy costs.

Re:Supreme Court Rules Andy Warhol’s Prince Art Is Copyright Infringement
on Thursday May 18, 2023 @03:28PM (#35992866)
Agreed - to an extent. IMO the current term of copyright is the primary issue - and the balance has tipped too far in favour of copyright holders; This case is a good example of the ridiculousness of that state - the artist has expired and is no longer able to enjoy the benefits of his work - yet he descendants expect to continue to profit from his work - which seems unreasonable and detrimental to society.

This case refers to alleged lawbreaking that may have occurred, and is fairly easy for people to morally reason about (CSAM), were it proved to be true.
The question in my mind is as to what the limits of this snooping is? Discussing out of state abortions in a location where it's outlawed? Conducting a homosexual relationship in a repressive state?
