At the time, all of what we think of as the sea between Borneo, Sumatra, and Java, and on up to Thailand and Taiwan, and the whole South China and Yellow Seas up to Korea was all dry land, like a million square miles of it.
Borneo was high ground. Most of what was going on with humanity at the time, according to cave painting evidence, was there and is now almost all under water.
There is a hill on Java built over 20,000 years ago. Excavation was halted, by the Indonesian government, for reasons not expressed.
FYI, you were shadowbanned four days ago, probably automatically for your multiple flagged-to-death comments here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33208156. Maybe you should try to appeal to the mods.
Most of his comments in that thread are not flagged, nor even grayed. Most which are grayed or flagged are ones like this:
In response to "How exactly will you be 100% renewable during a cloudy and windless period with solar and wind?" he commented "Trolling is unwelcome here, thank you." Seems like a justified flagging to me; with no supporting argument that comment amounts to nothing more than a bare insult.
Not a justified flagging. It is trolling. People who make that argument about unreliability are at best dishonest. To make that argument either means you know next to nothing about renewable energies other than that wind and sun aren't consistent. Or you are purposefully lying.
It is a form of gaslighting. These kind of arguments have been discussed to death but "renewable energy isn't consistent" is either to understand than it is to refute. It takes pages of text to fully explain this and only a few words to repeat the allegation. Sprinkle in a few claims about nuclear power being the only alternative to global warning (with even less proof) and you can shout down anyone who disagrees.
Sorry, how does ripgrep save you tens of hours? I get that it is faster than regular grep, but that doesn't really answer the question; I don't find myself stalled waiting for grep. The only reasonable explanation would be something ripgrep does that grep actually doesn't. I could try to guess, but have no confidence I would guess right.
1. Available on Windows without WSL, possibly the biggest time saver for those affected
2. Auto ignores .gitignore files, so does not search node_modules or build/ etc., huge noise reduction there.
3. -t/-T gates on file extension which is a very nice feature, again signal to noise
4. The combo of speed and the above and the recursive-by-default mean that you search much larger corpuses by default, like “all the microservices in the cluster” or “my entire home dir”, because you know it's some .xml file mentioning “jackson” where you saw this config you need before.
5. For some reason I never remember which regex features are grep vs egrep, so I end up just testing on a bunch of strings to see if I have to like backslash the plus operator or whatever. With rg it's like “oh this is going to have the same syntax as JS regex.”
6. Unicode compatibility by default could save you that sort of time maybe on specific workloads?
Totally anecdotal, but I have found ripgrep orders of magnitude faster than grep when searching a large corpus of data (in my case, many multi-hundred megabyte to gigabyte XML files). As in, ripgrep completed the search in seconds, grep took multiple minutes. I'm sure I could have done some research to optimise/parallelise grep, but ripgrep worked doing the "dumb" search.
Right: the fossil fuel lobby has discovered that nuke-mongering is in their interest. The nukes don't need to ever be completed, but as long as they haven't been, their market is secure.
They know the writing is on the wall, but profits can be good right up to the end.
You imagine there is no plan because you do not know about the plans.
It would be stupid to build storage there is not renewable generating capacity to charge. When there is such capacity, they will then build out storage. In the meantime the correct place to spend is on generation. Which, in fact, is what they are doing.
Currently yes, but hydrogen is so easy to make from electricity that it predates sensible electrical generation methods by 43 years.
We didn't bother making hydrogen in large quantities because there was no point when we already had a convenient supply of a flammable gas, not because it's even remotely difficult.
