@foone I miss _why :(
But I also liked watching interview with Joe Armstrong. He seemed like the friendly uncle of programming languages.

@thomasfuchs For comparison, Yesterday, my home gas boiler used 105kWh to heat the house. The house is over 100 years old and could be better insulated. It was -1C outside with freezing rain. 0.22kg CO2/kWh is released by UK household gas. 23kg of CO2 yesterday.
Which is to say, heating my house on one of the few coldest days of the year releases as much CO2 as a 85 mile drive in a small family diesel that isn’t hauling anything.

@thomasfuchs I get the sentiment, but the energy and water use really depends on a lot of factors, especially how far you drive.
My diesel does just under 50 UK mpg on a good day. Call it 10 miles a litre. A 240 mile round trip to see the family uses about 24 litres, seems right. 2.7kg of CO2 is released per litre of diesel burnt, so about 65kg for that round trip. If it was hauling a trailer or caravan it’d produce 3 or 4 times more.

@thomasfuchs That’s an impressive amount of contrast!

@thomasfuchs Was hoping to get M101 before the SN fades.
I don’t really need active guiding, but I am having real trouble with PA and finding my target at 300mm on the camera’s screen is a pain. I spend most of the night setting up.

This 3D printer is genuinely one of the best things I’ve bought.

@thomasfuchs Like Roko’s Basilisk, but the AI is petty and passive-agressive

@thomasfuchs Honestly that’s the sort of intense hot take character assassination I expect to see on Mastodon not Twitter
