The long-term waste is the transuranics, which reactors like the BN-800 can use for fuel. What's left is fission products, which go back to the radioactivity of the original ore in a couple centuries.

Transuranics are 99% of conventional nuclear waste so we'd reduce the waste volume by that much, too.

This is very interesting to me. I guess this means Alphabet has enough confidence in Niantic to essentially spin them off. They wouldn't do this if they had negative future prospects right? I honestly had no idea Niantic was this big to warrant spinning them off from Alphabet.
$25k is a lot. Congrats!

I would add not to compare your salary to your co-workers (if you happen to know their salary) when you talk to your boss. It can back-fire because you steer the discussion to somebody else's salary which you have no idea about past history or what other factors played into that.
I've done both for a living.
Or, more likely, Niantic was doing badly (financially) and they wanted them gone. If they were doing well, why would they let them go?
You can try to use TilePad (http://tilepad.co). It is a Chrome extension that arranges twitter timeline in columns, allows to configure a tweet design, and much more.
I'd argue that The Sims 1 was an AAA game (in that it became the best selling PC game of all time) BECAUSE it ran on last year's hardware, used software rendering, and didn't require a 3D graphics accelerator, so a lot more people were able to play it (like little brothers and sisters who inherited their older sibling's computer when they got upgraded).
Another consequence of centralization. It's like the Hamburg court to use Germany -> EU -> Ireland to pressure Facebook to change its real names policy, or pressuring ISPs to ban it.

Can't ban wordpress!
The community and the meta-game quickly became the engrossing part of the game. If you like coordinating with other players and getting together to wander around and mash buttons on your phone, then it's great. You can still play by taking walks by yourself, but that's not as much fun.

I think this is pretty common evolution for games. Games from bridge to Magic:The Gathering to softball are as much about the social elements as they are about the actual gameplay.
I don't think non-cocoa or non-WPF necessarily means worse quality, you just have to do a bit more custom work. Take Slack (using the Electron framework), or Telegram's Qt client.

Having said that, Qt Quick Controls could definitely be improved by having better default desktop QML UI widgets.
At the start there I thought you were talking about Sydney. Cups of coffee range from $3.50 to $5.00, houses anywhere close to the city are $1.2M+, and that cost stay constant to about an hour out of the CBD itself.

To have a salary of $250k means that you are well off, in fact I seem to recall that being the cut-off for the 1% range.

Can't those other sources also be spoofed?
You are all kinds of wrong. Unfortunately, I am about to log off, so I do not have time to explain why in any kind of substantive way. The nutshell version is that this is such a rampant problem, women can either try to be polite and diplomatic in the face of it or outright starve. A woman essentially cannot make money at all without putting up with this shit to some degree. We need better answers than always blaming the victim. Some men are so powerful, you essentially cannot avoid them and keep working in your industry. If a man like that sees you as just a piece of ass, even crazy levels of diplomatic skill will not shield you from negative repercussions.
So you gave up on Windows 10 because you couldn't figure out how to use the trackpad? Maybe you should have tried a mouse. There's nothing different about selecting text in windows vs mac.
I wish they would fix Netflix on the Nexus Player and PS3.
I only have 2 set to boxes and both of them have broken Netflix on them.

The PS3 doesn't output audio properly to my receiver. I need to use stereo to get any sound at all.

The Nexus Player logs you out if your program ends and tries to play the next episode. This happens all the time when my 2 year old watches Curious George.

These aren't obscure platforms and it seems I'm not the only one with these problems. No known solution either.

----------

edit

----------

I forgot... also when watching 4:3 content on my Nexus player it uses some stupid gray background which is distracting. What is so wrong with black?

On the other hand, the Nexus player can run Kodi which you can install a plugin called "Genesis" on and stream anything you can imagine without any of those issues.
The STM32F2 MCU that Amazon used supports similar features; see section 2.6.3 of:

http://www.st.com/web/en/resource/technical/document/program...

In brief, though, the MCU can be put into "level 1" read protection which limits the capabilities of a JTAG debugger, or "level 2", which fully protects the device by disabling JTAG entirely. Given that Adafruit were able to reprogram the device, Amazon must not have used level 2 protection.
If you live somewhere hot, it can be rare to get even 5 years out of a battery (although if you buy ones with a 3 year warranty you may only be paying for a battery every 5 years or so)
> As much as I criticize Maven, I'm not sure what this process buys you over maven except... well... what DOES it buy you over Maven dependency management?

I agree that using Nix doesn't make sense for application development where all the dependencies are resolvable within the language runtime. (Provided the runtime itself can be well-specified in the project configuration and the language's dependency management system defaults to exact immutable declarations.)

But throw in a dependency on Redis and Postgres, and you get into territory where traditional tools fall over pretty quickly, especially if different branches of your codebase depend upon different versions of Redis.

Personally Guix is more interesting to me as a way to keep my own stuff declarative rather than for sharing across a team of developers. But the cost doesn't seem too high if your application has external dependencies which traditional tools suck at; I've felt that pain and it isn't pretty.

So, if, for example, I drive drunk in Australia (easy to do) I am not breaking any laws? Or don't pay taxes? I find this hard to believe. No matter how efficient the IT some laws are easy to break. You probably meant just the immigration laws, which was not what I asked.
You're right, of course - they're incredibly talented though.
> The problem with this is that users have to download a binary of over 40mb just to run a "hello world" app.

Sure, but the overhead is pretty fixed. So yes, if all your app does is say "hello world", then the overhead ends up being 99% of the app. But maybe you shouldn't be making an app for that in the first place? If your application actually does something, and has code, and text, and images, and audio, then the overhead is negligible.
Companies usually spin things off when they're becoming a distraction for upper management. That doesn't necessarily mean they're big or that management has confidence in them, eg. hello.com is another Google spin-off that hasn't even launched yet.
True, but that balance is going to be different for every application domains.

At the end of the day, one of the few metrics which really matters is the return on investment.

A lot of software can afford iterative improvements as well, so its a great idea to start off with extreme convenience and optimize as you scale.

Well if you think about it, the netflix UI is pretty much a bunch of documents. It's a gallery of images, and each image has its own document.

The DOM is a dinosaur unfortunately, it just gets the job done for most basic websites. CSS is also a language made for the DOM. The thing is, the DOM isn't required for a web page. Netflix could have coded up their entire UI on a Javascript 2D game engine and could have ended up with a faster app for sure. But CSS and the DOM make it much easier to work with text + links, that imo it's worth it for the performance drop of animations.
A number of reasons but usually focus. It's amazing how distracting even moneymakers that aren't core to the business are to big businesses.

Or possibly they're receiving some funding that stipulates not being Google-owned, and everyone just agreed that's the best way forward.

React is insanely fun. It's so stress free to code up the frontend of your web app with React because everything is viewed as a component. My friend and I have adopted React and we are still glossing over how great it is.
Usually making a developer's job easier entails making them more productive, which means fewer bugs and more features. Those things also correlate with a good product just as much or more than performance in most cases.

My guess is they don't bother with Linux systems because proper application packaging on Linux OSes is source-centric.

They've made the choice not to offer their code as free software, so that would mean it would be a headache to support on systems that value software freedom.

One of the best tools I ever bought was a 6 amp battery charger. Plug it in, and in 20-30 minutes the battery has enough charge to start the engine, then you're good to go.

This has saved me many, many hundreds of dollars, being late for work, etc.

I also have a battery maintainer that keeps a battery sitting around charged up.

The last thing is a battery shut-off switch that sits on the battery terminal. If you're going to leave the car a while, shut it off. It prevents the trickle going to keep the radio alive from killing the battery (which takes a week or two).
AAA games are a long way from that. GPU's shaders v3.0 are Turing complete.

PS: Top graphics cars AMD Radeon R9 295X2 is 11+ TFlops, 1920 x 1080 x 60 = 124 million. So, these cards have ~100,000 Flops per pixel per frame @1080p.
With all due respect I don't think you have been paying attention as much as I. Anti-ad sentiment on HN as well as elsewhere has only been on the rise in the past few months. But all you have to do is go back in my comment history a ways and you can see all the flack I get, though you won't see all the down-votes I got (a lot!).

Bashing ads is just starting to get hip, just as bashing Flash only got hip relatively recently, after an earlier period where Apple got bashed by many simply for being ahead of the mainstream.
These teams should move to a low cost developing country after a successful Kickstarter. They could live very well for 1k per person. You already have the clients, you already have the investment and hopefully, you already have the team. It doesn't make sense to stay in a high cost area.
I think there's some confusion. Pagerank is the leading eigenvector of the graph (G+1x) where G is an input graph and x is a weighting term.

This is not at all the same as modern Google ranking techniques, such as Panda, Penguin, and Hummingbird.
I hear you, I've also heard "How can we get our velocity higher?" more times than I can count.

What I don't like about velocity is that it encourages the gamification of the process. Developers start caring more about their velocity than the quality of their code and before long nobody has any clue of the big picture and the project starts going down the drain.

Working in the video game industry, I see the striking difference between playing games and developing games first hand, every day :)

I don't understand how you can charge $200 for this (plus shipping??). A battery at Costco costs $83 for 4.5 years full warranty.

Ask HN: How to deal with increasing “brain farts” and small silly mistakes?
Does anyone else suffer from this? To give a recent example, I was doing a fairly simple math problem, while I had to do a small side calculation (16 + 8), which for some reason my brain replied with "22". It took me a second attempt at the whole problem to fix the error.

This is happening more and more often in many different ways. I'm still young (early twenties), in overall great health, good nutrition and exercise (with some room for improvement), I'm not "stupid" I would like to think, I'm a half-decent programmer, and do fairly well in many academic topics, and generally get along in life as a normal person.

I'm wondering if this is a problem related to mental stress and overworking my brain (taking 5 courses as a CS undergrad, along with part-time programming job)? I believe CS and math tax the brain and short term memory more than other professions, so has anyone here noticed this problem, and taken successful steps to reducing it?
Looks like a close copy of Soulver to me. I think in this case it's worth mentioning.

You don't know that. It is an unreasonable and unfair assumption, and reflects the expectation of your own immaturity as a gold standard.
I know, I spent a few months this year simplifying shader code designed for the PS4 in order to run on mobile devices. We basically had to scale down from SM5 to SM3, not an easy task :)

Its not because shaders are now turing complete that its a free pass to use these features all over the place, they often come with a noticeable performance cost, which I admit is lesser and lesser every year, but still.

Also, having recently completed the port of a next-gen AAA title, I can definitely say most shaders stay far from turing completeness, even on current consoles. We shipped the game with at least 75k generated shaders and I'm fairly certain less than 20% of them made use of those features.

Finally, the numbers you mention are from an ideal benchmark case and assuming GPU usage is maximized. Real world conditions will definitely lower these numbers.

Modern consoles GPUs have dozens of metrics in their profilers and every single one of them can be a major bottleneck. Its near impossible to achieve 100% GPU usage in a game. We're happy above 80%.
