Yes, I started learning drawing as an adult with zero natural talent. For me, it wasn't about becoming exceptionally good but about exploring and finding pleasure in the process. I took drawing classes following the "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" method, which I highly recommend.
Even if we are close to peaking emissions, we must consider the phenomenon of accumulation. Given that CO2 has an effective lifespan of around 100 years and methane about 10 years in the atmosphere, reductions in emissions now will still result in these gases accumulating and impacting the climate for decades to come.
Now that we have a consensus, let's address the discourses justifying inaction or inadequate efforts. I just submitted a resource that I like on this topic. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28941473
I made first tests with Timescale 10 days ago with logs of a website.
First result, I was impressed by the compression: 13GB of compressed CSV files - 1 PostgreSQL table of 63GB - 1 Timescale hypertable of 4GB.
Then, I saw improvements on the performance of my queries, between 23% and 92% faster on the hypertable versus the table.
This is definitely interesting and I will look into it further. I'm getting from "it's not a good idea to put weblogs on Postgresql" to "why not, if it helps simplify our infra".
It sounds familiar to me since I too have built a micro-SaaS that could probably make it in Zappier: https://sheet.chat to integrate Google Sheets in Slack
