Inconsistent national reports undercount wastewater emissions


National greenhouse gas inventories systematically undercount methane and nitrous oxide emissions from wastewater due to outdated methods and incomplete coverage. Addressing these discrepancies is essential to strengthen transparency in global climate efforts and improving the effectiveness of national mitigation strategies.

It's things like this which may well underlie our failure to better predict the track of global warming. It's all gotten out ahead of us...

I have visited mother and also Rudolf, who for some reason thought we'd be packing him away in his carrier to take him somewhere... And then hid in the kitchen sink in protest. ๐Ÿ˜† Not even wet food enticed him out at first!

Finally had a small win with my learning of #uxn programming and got a basic version of Bresenham's line algorithm working! I'm sure there are better ways to do it but I'm just happy it's working right now.

This is my first proper go at learning a stack language so around 80% of my time was just figuring out and debugging little idioms and macros to do basic arithmetic.

I vaguely remember teaching this algorithm as a tutor for a computer graphics course in 1998 so it's been fun to revisit it.

@neauoire Not yet! I have a rough idea how to add that and hope to get it working later today. Hopefully it wonโ€™t add too many more bytes.

The urge to golf uxn programs while writing them is pretty hard to resist. I think itโ€™s another reason itโ€™s been taking me so long. ๐Ÿ˜€

If you somehow still considered uploading your face/ID to Discord, here's one more reason not to: Peter Thiel seems to be the lead investor in the service that implements the age check. And, oh, the service page says they will store our data on their side (at least for a little while).

If you need to seek refuge from smoke, then your municipal water supply is PROBABLY cancerous.

Because physics. Your city water supply has been contaminated, and systemic cleaning is necessary.

perl has a reputation for needing complex sigils and degrading into line noise, but i don't think we give bash enough flak for the same thing.

why on earth do you iterate over associative array keys (and yes, bash has associative arrays) by writing dollar sign open curly bracket exclamation point array name open square bracket at sign close square bracket close curly bracket?

in reply to Lynnesbian

This is an example of why I can end up writing a line of python instead. I can never remember this sort of weird shit.

Mind you, I'm not a programmer, whose very livelihoods depend on remembering weird shit.

Currently looking for a new employment (remote and EU only), thought to try to get #fedihired as well.
Most of my ~20 year experience I dealt with either very low-level kernel/user-level (often embedded) C+asm or distributed backend (Go, Erlang, Java).
I would love to prioritize the former and not opposed to learning something new at this point.

I posted this earlier today, but realized it was not a reasonable time for US folks. So here goes: The big #plushtodon is now on sale, 20% off. Only available in the US, shipping locally. There are 87 left and we will likely never make one of this size again. I have some cool new things planned and clearing them out would be a big help. Thanks!
