It's certainly got a bit out of control. I live further out in Rouse Hill, and my 4 bed with garage house is $800/wk not including utilities. Townhouses are more reasonable, but compared to a house still insane. 2 bed apartment thing in a new complex down the road starts at $650/wk.

I don't remember Sinbad in anything related to this story. Although I very clearly thought the Shaq movie was named "Shazaam", even as far as remembering his catchphrase from the movie as "I am Shazaam".
my own "favourite" false memory is a cover version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah done by Nick Cave. The is a song named Hallelujah by Nick Cave but it is a different song. None the less I remeber very distinctly Nick Caves cover version of Hallelujah sung in his unmistakable style.
I went so far to listen to several dozen cover versions of Hallelujah on Spotify and Youtube but found none that came even near.
There are 4 new AP1000 reactors under construction in the United States. Unfortunately, they're over budget and behind schedule. UCS is if anything charitable to estimate $8 billion for a new reactor.

http://www.enr.com/articles/41134-turnaround-eludes-nuclear-...

Last spring, at the Plant Vogtle construction site near Waynesboro, Ga., executives representing Georgia Power, its lead contractors and trades groups gathered to commit publicly to turning around the $16-billion nuclear power plant expansion. At least three years behind schedule and billions of dollars over its original budget, the massive effort—the first U.S. project of its kind in decades—is a closely watched bellwether of the country’s nuclear plans, which could fizzle if this project fails to deliver, many believe.

Executives with Westinghouse and Fluor, which represent the contracting team that took over on Jan. 1, publicly vowed to do what they already had contractually agreed to do: deliver the project according to schedule by achieving the in-service target dates of June 2019 and June 2020 for Vogtle Units 3 and 4, respectively.

Now, nearly a year into Westinghouse and Fluor’s Vogtle project takeover from former contractor CB&I, the site’s workforce has swelled, but productivity and schedule have actually slipped, say state construction monitors. In joint testimony, PSC analyst Stephen Roetger and construction monitor William Jacobs noted, “The contractor has failed to achieve the project’s critical milestones in accordance with the January 2016 Integrated Project Schedule, which reconfirmed the June 2019 and June 2020 Commercial Operation Dates.” Jacobs, the state’s construction monitor, holds a doctorate in nuclear engineering and has more than 12 years of nuclear-plant construction and start-up experience.

AP1000s are also behind schedule in China. Whatever problems are causing the schedule/budget misses, they seem to be coming from inside the nuclear industry itself.
Too many landlords would lead to lower rents, not higher. The problem is caused more by the overly centralized structure of our cities (meaning a large proportion of jobs require you to commute to the CBD every day) combined with a cultural resistance to high-density living (meaning an undersupply of housing near to the CBD).

Freedom of association means assembling with like-minded interests, not purging unlike-minded interests. What you are trying to defend with that deep-end SJW Kool-aid belly flop is the unchristened but widely-held "freedom of ignorance" where you have the freedom to be stupid by denying information to yourself.

Which of course, not only do you have but also appear ready to fight to the doxx to defend.

The web is not a pull model. Learn the other HTTP verbs... or cherry-pick away to continue the "Fischer Price's My First Venture Outside of Tumblr" shtick everyone sees you pulling, that's fine, too.

The 1930s model has been dead once the tyrants of socialism bludgeoned it to death. But, hey... you seem hell-bent on justifying why your brand of censorship is awesome, how about a wager:

You post your actual identifying information like social media has trained you and I won't post mine. Guess who doesn't have to adhere to the behaviour expectations of the people in my head and synthetic social pressures and status signalling, and thus, has true freedom of expression? Which one of us is going to be hunted down by axe-grinding autists who are obsessed with ideological purity and which one of us is going bypass that entire system until you hunt each other to death? Which of these strategies will survive beyond the impending eulogy of old media?

I'm glad the stigma is lifting. I've seen too many Americans, including myself, literally move across town to live in a dumpy apartment. All in the name of ego. I wasen't going to be that guy who lived with his parents. I wanted a swingers pad. "Yea--baby!"

All I really got was 50% of my income taken by a landlord. My landlord is very happy--always on a new vechicle. I still spent some weekends working on my parents empty house.

Millenials, Gen-X'ers, even later baby boomers need to stop letting societal norms drove us into poverty, or make us go crazy.

We need to watch where/whom are money is going.

Personally, I don't have a family room to go to, but if I did; I would take advantage of it.

I feel--the party is over. I much rather give my money to a family member than a rich stranger. This thinking goes father than just housing. I might be in the minority, but I do care whom is making money off my back.

I had the same thought. Seems like the value of such an exploit could be a lot more than $5k to the right people in the open market.

The macro effect is that when someone with lower moral/ethical standards discovers such an exploit it's more likely the find will end up being sold for more money and ultimately used maliciously in the wild.

The more $fb pays the greater the incentive will be for shady people to responsibly report it to $fb.

Relying on good samaritans doesn't seem like a sustainable or particularly responsible solution to taking care of those trusting the Facebook platform to not leak their private information.
I love vim, and I'm always happy to read interviews with the developers who make and manage the tools I use or like. However, I find this article to be somewhat of a mishmash with an uncertain audience. From the title, I had expected this to be a transcript of an interview. But it's not.
Thank you for the link.

The article also heavily implies that Bram is the sole and only developer, and mentions that vim has had four updates since 2006. Both of these are true only up to extremely narrow interpretation, and not what I would expect from an article purporting to interview and describe a project maintainer and the project.
"But a lot of that is subsidized through globalization, which nearly every colonizing country is eschewing."

"It's all subsidized through foreigners plights and profited upon wildly"

This is highly speculative, and I don't think in any way substantiated.

"they just exploited other countries through capitalist guises instead of barbaric colonisation."

Borderline racist.

American consumers are fuelling a massive wealth creation boom in places like China and India, where 100's of millions are coming out of poverty.

Trade is generally good for both sides, and it has benefited China/India etc. massively.

It's funny what you call 'exploitation' is 100's of millions of people with massively increasing wealth.

If you want to see China and India desperately poor again, we can 'turn off globalization'. A few more Americans will have jobs, but it will be back to the dark ages for many economies.
Bingo, renewables plus natural gas is the (current) answer.

// I haven't watched the video. Would love to see a text version thereof if it exists.

Is it per unit of power that can be produced under optimal conditions or per unit of power averaged over a year? Note that half of the time in a year it's dark, so in order to produce the same amount of energy in a year you need a solar power plant with at least 2x power rating of a power plant that can operate continuously.

Does this include the cost (monetary (capital) and in additional energy that has to be generated due to storage losses) of storing the energy over periods of darkness and inclement weather?

There are a bunch of apps who can manage your github stars (i can't remember which one i use, something like "night sky" maybe? Am on mobile). I periodically review and tag them so they're easy to find when i start a new project. Then I check my Pinboard.

That's nice. Some European countries are exactly the opposite. It's my hypothesis that this is the cause for many suicides, despite otherwise stellar living standards.
The UK government just made a big commitment to a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point C, largely funded by a high guaranteed cost per unit of electricity.

This matches my experience. I switched everything from SVN to Mercurial, and when I grudgingly switched to Git the only reason was GitHub.
Storage and recycling of spend fuel rods are not a problem. We have not all that much waste, and plenty of places to put it. And breeder reactors seems to be able to convert part of it into usable fuel again.

I agree that it is a temporary solution, but it's the best we got until we figure out how to store energy efficiently, and generate truly renewable energy.

I'm sceptical of wind, because it produce a large amount of waste (rotorblade composite) that is only recently started to be recycled, and the question of what to do with the recycled material have to my knowledge not been answered yet.

Solar is still dependend on a few rare earth minerals, but some promesing alternatives are actively being researched.
Sweden is actually an example of how not to handle a refugee crisis. Just yesterday I met my friend who lives in Sweden and was at Malmö at the height of migrant crisis.

I'd recommend anyone interested in this question to watch "Into Eternity" (available on YouTube), a documentary about the facility Finland is building to house all of their country's nuclear waste.
> I've considered adding a mechanism that moves the object into a deallocation thread (or a deallocation task running in a thread pool) for this reason, although I'm not sure how important it is in the grand scheme of things.

The one time I've done this in C++, delayed deallocation actually made major loads/unloads worse for us on mass batch operations - more cache thrashing perhaps? Since this involved GPU resources, perhaps some bad interaction with the driver? I did keep around the "optimization" conditionally for smaller operations as this let us get rid of some hitching.

In C# this traditionally manifested as lengthy GC pauses you had to jump through hoops to workaround. Modern GCs are much better these days, but it's not 100% solved.

Reanalyzing the State of Java EE
Thanks for the ressource I'll definitely have a look. However the fact that it's price competitive still don't imply that it's enough to counter climate change.

In a worst case scenario, if we go full solar, but are unable to slow a climat change that induce more cloudy weather (because more global evaporation) we are actually solving nothing.

Nuclear have a lots of cons, but the one of the pro is that we know them, while renewables are mostly untested at scale that approach current global electricity demand.
(PS: Indeed lowering electric need is also a safe way to to reach the goal and should be the top priority)

I think the biggest issue is everyone thinks they know what would work, when there's no single model that can capture the complexity of real life. Just as we don't even have a unified model of physics, much less is there an obvious way to run a society.

The thing in the US is that I don't hear anyone talking about what they're even trying to accomplish. Do citizen even agree there? Why isn't there a conversation about that?

If we had a testing function, something we all agree on that this is the outcome we all or at least the majority wants for the society we're in.

Then we'd have a way to judge how a government did, or what worked and what didn't, and we could focus on iterating and improving our output towards what we all want.

Unfortunately, I think some minority groups, often corrupt, often in power or rich, they spend a lot of money and effort to switch up the conversation away from what people want and towards what they want, and then they have massive teams working to realize their vision.
I'm highly curious about Rust as a potential introduction to systems programming. One thing that bothers me is the lack of proper classes. This seems to have become a trend among newer languages, as though traditional OOP is an outdated paradigm.

I have yet to be convinced that this is a good move. The attempted justifications I've seen hand-wave about problems with OOP, "composition over inheritance," etc. Meanwhile, in the real world, 99% of production code is OO and the paradigm continues to do its basic job--helping programmers model domain objects. Older languages like JavaScript and PHP have made their OO constructs more robust over time, which suggests to me that in the end a critical mass of developers will always clamor for this easily understandable and productivity-enhancing paradigm over some theoretically pure alternative.
Here is a repost of a comment I made a while ago about why I love Elixir:

The thing that constantly gets me about Elixir and Phoenix is the default tends to be the correct way of doing it. Let me explain.

For example, the other day, I was looking at filtering a next parameter to remove the domain (for security- you could redirect someone to fake login box on your host after they log in)... however it's unnecessary as redirect/2 in phoenix if passed a URL rather than a path will throw an error by default. As an aside different exceptions will return different HTTP error codes - for example a database not found exception from Ecto will cause a 404. There are hundreds or thousands of these little decisions that are the correct/simpler decision.

Elixir and Phoenix, for want of a better way of saying it, show great programming taste. So to say it's a coat of paint is a bit harsh; it's the right coat of paint, in my opinion.
I work with two codebases with over 200k commits and over 10k branches each. Sometimes the branch names are useless.
Sometimes the commit messages are poor. Often knowing one helps provide more context for the other.

Unfortunately, the Safari ViewController doesn't do everything that the old UIWebView and WKWebView did. I think in our case we needed to be able to increment the cache size (to be compatible with Kindle Cloud reader), and this was only available on UIWebView. I could be mistaken here, and regardless I hope the Safari ViewController is updated to support this feature.

Forgive me if I've misused terminology here—I'm the non-technical founder—so my understanding of why we couldn't use the Safari WebView (which I assume is the same or closely related to what you referenced) is a bit fuzzy. All I know for sure was that our dev team was not looking forward to pleading for ATS exceptions.
