  • I just tested it on my work laptop and it’s ridiculous how much faster search is now. Gonna propose to implement it company wide on workstations. I mean, I would do so in a heartbeat, but I still want our CIO to sign off on it.

    For servers though, I’m creating the policy first thing in the morning. The slow search has been the bane of my existence for years (although admittedly I could’ve googled it many times and never did, so that’s on me).



















  • Xanthates, Sodium Isobutyl Xanthate (SIBX) to be exact. Originally they planned on dumping 250 million tonnes of the stuff, but after revising their processes they are now planning a “significant reduction” of that, but not specifying how much exactly. Based on that revision they were granted an environmental license in 2020.

    The exact impact on marine life is speculative, but I wouldn’t eat anything from that fjord or go swimming there for the next 50 years. It’s pretty toxic stuff.

    It breaks down in carbon disulfide, carbonyl sulfide, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen peroxide.
