I often wonder if it is currently more environmentally responsible to dispose of plastics in the trash rather than the recycling. If we can't recycle plastic or it ends up in the ocean/waterways, then landfill seems like a better alternative.
Air travel contributes to about 2.5% of greenhouse gas emissions and is responsible for about 3.5% of anthropogenic warming [1]. In my opinion, there is an outsized amount of public outrage going on and we should be directing this outrage toward larger sources of anthropogenic warming. There is only so much people can take before they get fatigued. "Spending" this outrage on something that is only 3.5% of the problem seems wasteful.
>It is easy to hand wave "more building supply", but that's a medium to long term solution.
YES! It's the long term solution which if it were implemented in a timely manner in the past, would have saved us today, but even though we are in a mess today, it's not being implemented even to this day due to bureaucracy, NIMBYism and various political issues which beat around the bush, instead of saying it straight: "Build more today so we can live easier tomorrow!"
>What do we do in the short term?
Also, build more. If you don't build in the short term, there will be no long term.
We do a similar thing. Engineering tracking is done through AZDO, but roadmap management is done in another tool with some sort of integration between the two.
I probably take more guidance from blog articles and GitHub issue comments than I do from StackOverflow. I think this started to happen for me around 2015/2016. I'm not sure though if that's a function of me requiring more niche/targeted guidance, or StackOverflow no longer capturing as much knowledge as it once did.
It might be the Pi wearing out the SD card. The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 [1] actually has a PCIe Gen 2 x1 socket.
Jeff Geerling (who's active on HN) has actually gotten SATA working [2] through the Compute Module 4 and the Compute Module 4 IO Board [3].
If you go his route you could potentially set up a Pi with more durable storage. Although, if you watch Jeff's video its a PITA getting SATA working as he had to recompile the kernel with SATA support. Also its pretty hard to get the Compute Module 4 and the IO board at the moment.
Alternatively you go PXE boot and network storage but then that assumes that you've got something else running to provide it. It's a nice solution when you've got half a dozen Pis around though (we use it in labs for our hardware test setups).
The new Home Assistant Yellow board even has a built-in M.2 M-key slot for NVMe storage; there are some other boards out there with built-in slots too (I especially like the BitPiRat I recently tested: https://pipci.jeffgeerling.com/boards_cm/mirkos-bitpirat-com...
Imagine if every state was judged on its character for the aesthetic of the area by its airport and highways. NJ gets a horrible rap! It’s a beautiful state in so many places.
And get a free bobblehead with a minimum eight-gallon purchase.
When I lived in New Jersey, the gas stations in New York would offer spiffs with a fill-up, and there was always a disclaimer "offer not valid in New Jersey," which made it seem like the spiff wasn't available at all in New Jersey. For those who knew, the rule was actually that gas companies couldn't require a minimum purchase to get the spiff in New Jersey, so if you knew what you were doing, you could put a gallon in and still get whatever the free item was.
But I haven't lived in New Jersey since gas was priced in ¢, and not $.
What do you mean by "spiff" here? Google doesn't give me any clues, and the only Spiff I know of (as opposed to the word "spiffy", meaning well-dressed) is Calvin and Hobbes' Spaceman Spiff.
A spiff is a free giveaway attached to a sale, historically a bonus for salespeople for making the sale but colloquially also for customers getting a freebie item with a purchase.
I'm glad that there is much more awareness and consideration around cost.
When I was in high school and applying to colleges around 2011, the advice given to us was to not take cost too seriously. Many authority figures (like high school counselors) told my peers and I to, "follow your heart" or "go where you think you'll fit in best".
On top of that, student loans and interest rates where not explained to us very well. Very few of us understood that borrowing 160k-200k to go to an out-of-state/private school could very well mean you were signing up for a lifelong debt.
Looking back, its insane we could make such a life altering/hindering decision with so little oversight from the "adults".
