- Comment on Death and devastation: why a rare equatorial cyclone and other storms have hit southern Asia so hard 2 weeks ago:
The closest cyclone to the equator was the 2001 Tropical Storm Vamei which formed at just 1.4°N. Cyclone Senyar formed at 3.8°N.
The safe zone at the equator is narrow. If choosing to settle near the coast, there really isn’t much choice when it comes to latitude.

That’s what I thought too, but I wasn’t sure enough to say so.

- Comment on TIL about this Fediverse software database 1 month ago:
I hear about Python probably at least as much as I hear about Rust, to be fair. I looked at some Python code (years ago) and seem to remember the code looking more like a shell script than like other programming languages I had seen, so the ease and readability aspects make sense. If ever I do start programming, I won’t start by learning Rust. Baby steps.
- Comment on TIL about this Fediverse software database 2 months ago:
Is Rust really so obscure? I’m not a programmer, but I seem to hear about Rust frequently in any remotely halfway-techy space.

Not only that; at this point, reducing fossil fuel use too quickly would actually be suicidal.

Thank you for sharing this! Great to see someone present some real numbers and explain how it would all work.

- Comment on Are vertical farms really the answer? A new study reveals their surprisingly large footprint | ironically, vertical farming even uses twice as much *land*, by using farmed jute fibers as root casings 2 months ago:
Beyond the emissions footprint the most surprising, and altogether unintuitive, result was that vertical farms had a greater land-use impact than field farms. This came down to the roots of the plants—literally. In vertical farms, lettuce plants are often sown in natural casings made of jute fibers, which come from a tall grass crop that’s cultivated in tropical regions.
Is it jute, or is it grass? You cannot have it both ways. (In either case, coconut coir or a sustainable non-timber forest product would definitely make more sense for large-scale deployments.)

In theory, I agree with you. Just cross-posting this so that people see this perspective and how much the infrastructure needs to change. Whether those changes will happen is the real question.
