Every Norwegian needs this illusion(Or livsløgn as Ibsen would have said) to sustain the idea of belonging to a nation that is up to something good.

Reality is that Norway is increasingly subsidizing it's oil industry in a way that is not sustainable - especially not economically.

Instead of investing in the future Norway is investing in old dying industries - our Corona package contains almost no investments in sustainable technologies even thought the economy is heading for a hard shock the next time the oil price takes a dive.

Reducing demand and reducing supply both help in getting the CO2 emissions down. A good start would be to just stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industry.

AFAIK there are other makers that are also ready for this. I seem to remember that the Leaf is.

What I think will be the hard part of including cars into the grid is the warranty issues. I.e. if a battery gets so much usage from the grid that it somehow gets broken or worn out, who should take that cost/ risk?

I've been thinking of trying to combine self-hosted analytics and adding ad info in the urls of ads so I can track if a user arrived at my site via an ad without divulging that to any third parties.

Has anyone tried something like that? Did it work? Obviously what you give up is retargeting but that may have to go anyhow.

Some countries implement verified authentication schemes for their inhabitants that can be linked to both government and private services.

I.e. you have one login to use when filing taxes, getting health data, social security, interacting with your local school etc.

We do this all the time. Our tests run against SQLite (I use Mariadb in prod).

Each parallel testrun gets its own path in /dev/shm/xx so everything is in ram as well.

One of the things I find so confusing with Elasticsearch is querying. Constructing a complex JSON document for a simple query just doesn't fit my brain. I have tried to put this down to bad/confusing documentation, but I'm not sure anymore.

It seems Redis is moving a bit in the same direction - although not as complex as ES has done it.

Being able to run this inside a Redis instance is a big win, although I suspect few/none of the cloudproviders are willing to pay RedisLabs for the privelige of using the module.

THIS! I hate that Figma cannot support adding external webfonts when it is a webapp. This is the nr. 1 and only reason why I do not give them my money.

A big weakness is that all services have generic names so it is IMPOSSIBLE to google them and the documentation is weak and hard to navigate.

A common mistake in evaluating education is to just look at subject knowledge.

Good schools teach so much more. Teamwork, friendships, presentation skills etc. Those are a lot harder to homeschool.

What I'm looking for is something to replace external CHAT systems with something that stores all the data in our systems, replacing Intercom or whatever else.

What If I got multiple devices? Does the server have to store multiple keys per user?

I hope they roll out good monitoring tools for website owner for these features - i.e not a tool to test your site but a tool to tell you what google reports to it's users about the site. Otherwise you can be fooled by running lighthouse against your local server and never see the "this site loads slowly" message...

Hi, the docs are great - and cover a lot of ground.

The React team is doing amazing work!

Two questions / inputs:

1. Are the "Progressive Hydration" and "Selective Hydration" related to SSR? I could not find any info on what functionality is hiding behind the terms.

I've been wondering about how selective hydration could work with SSR.

2. In general I often find it hard to navigate the API part of the React docs - for example to find the definition of a lifecycle method (for example componentDidUpdate). There is no fast way to get to a single method.

I think this might be because the pure API docs feel a bit mixed into the rest of the documentation and therefore read more as complete articles than single packets of information.

Work from Oslo has shown that building machinery is a major source of carbon emissions and NOx in cities. I would also expect buses to be a major source if they are not included in the numbers above.

As much as I fear the China with regard to censorship, I think this could be a wise move for all social media platforms.

There are two reason why I think this:

a) Political advertising on social media is very hard to police as you can create huge amount of versions of each ad and target very different audiences.

b) Political advertising at volume favors the richest campaigns with the largest amount of knowledge about their targets.

By blanket removing political advertising from these platforms more focus would have to be made for more traditional forms of political work (door to door etc) and thus a slower more deliberate political climate.

It is by no means panacea but a good start.

Norway has always forbiden political TV-advertising, something that I think has helped the debate stay a bit less polarized, though that has changed with the advent of Facebook and it's ilk.

I'm not talking about private hosting of containers, I'm talking about an alternative to today's public registry of container images that is 100% verifiable so that when something like this happens it is possible to be certain that no one has tampered with any of the container images.

The race is on.

The first guys to implement a container hosting and building solution that is verifiable will dethrone docker.

I hope docker does this themselves, mainly because that will be the fastest route to this happening.

There is a difference between earning huge profits and earning a good living.

I would posit that it is possible for Reddit to finance itself and it's operation without going as far as they are doing now.

However, that would imply forgoing possible megaprofits that VCs wants - as well as probably reducing growth in headcounts and interesting internal projects. So there are both internal and external forces pushing in the direction of more monetization.

I think Basecamp is a nice example of forgoing profit for a better product.

I think the discussion here is missing a vital point in the article: Work when your at work, then go home.

This is key to getting a better work life balance and also to make it easier for people to combine careers with kids and family.

Try https://appear.in it has worked wonders for us wrt to conferencing.

What I find odd is that no analysts are asking Tim about the direction Apple is taking wrt. to build quality and developer support.

To me, Apple seems to have chosen a direction that will push developers over to other platforms. This will not happen overnight, but I suspect that in 2-3 years time the guys who have to develop on Macs will be the ones groaning over their OS - not the Windows people.

The combo of too expensive hardware and low build quality on OSX + bad DX is Apples biggest threat at the moment.

Have you looked at GeoGebra?

AsciiMath has one large benefit over Latex: It fits how you would write math in an email.

AsciiMath is perfect for users who do not know Latex (or code for that matter) but needs to use mathematical notation on a daily basis.

I applaud that AsciiMath has resurfaced. I've used it in combination with Katex a cuple of times with great results.
