He meant, imagine if they do.
I listened to an interview that discussed ITER's blanket in detail recently and while it seems like a very impressive bit of materials science, they seemed to have no doubt it'd work.

Plus, won't nearly all neutrons be incident on lithium to breed tritium in a final reactor anyway? And you don't need very much lithium anyway so there shouldn't be a concern over lithium availability.
I'm getting a 500 error. But the status page has yet to indicate any issue [0].

Is it possible to recycle old lithium batteries and extract tritium from that?
Which blockchain? In the long run, most likely a blockchain would be used as a currency and it will have a quite large market cap, and the others will be near zero.

"We are currently experiencing some minor service outages."
The only bandwagon I've ever witnessed explicitly was this "I'll lose nerd points for being so anti establishment" thing, that's been going around forever.

I loose "nerd cred" for it. Please. Give me a break. Half the people here will fall over themselves agreeing with you and you know it. Heck, I agree with you.

Can we please, as a community, get over ourselves? Can we get over this "ermegerd I'm not gonna use the latest JS framework! Guess that makes me 'not cool'! Haha I'm so level headed teehee guiltyyy!" We get it! Most people, the silent majority, don't use new things. We know! We are them. It's ok. Stop. dont humblebrag about how productive you are on Procrastination News.

I've never been on Tumblr but I imagine this is what some of it is like.

Sorry for singling you out. It's just a bugbear, is all. You're probably a solid guy / girl and I do believe you deliver great value for your clients. Honestly.
But if you scroll down to "Exception Percentage" you'll notice it's shooting up. Seems their system just hasn't noticed what's going wrong yet.

Well, Apple clearly does care, or Terminal.app wouldn't have such a low input latency (it's legitimately hard to engineer!).

I've dabbled in music, and I can fully agree with the audio latency comment. Human hearing is exquisitely tuned for latency (probably since it's integral to direction-finding), so even the slightest delay is noticeable. Hitting a note in an orchestra even a few ms late makes you stick out like a sore thumb.
The author of the article just benchmarked a bunch of performance stuff about terminals under different conditions. He said that in his benchmarks they are not well correlated and gave a specific terminal which specifically demonstrates it.

I trust the author's benchmarks over your experience. (Doubly so since my experience matches the author's.)
just checked: it works at Stanford
We definitely want to implement it! But many parts of that specification are still in flux, so like you said, we'd like to see the proposal stabilize first to avoid problems.

I think the question of where the binder is located is missing the forest for trees. Who wants a binder when you can have the information right in front of your eye? Especially when you've lugged binder #3 up there only to find it refers you to some spec in binder #2.

To be able to check the torque speck on a bolt while getting it started and tightening it up would be so nice.

Yes, the example video about the time going up and down the ladder is stupid - but I think tech like this has a huge future in shops and I'm sure a bunch of other work places.

Solid advice, thanks.

As for some of your suggestions, it's not that I have a laundry list of out-of-touch friends. I keep in touch with every one of my good friends from High School and College. The problem is, that list is about | | <- that big. Also, I removed myself from all social networks (and have read a number of articles linking FB usage with depression, which I dont need more of).

Thank-you.
When I got my prime phone number I wrote a script that hooked into Google voice and Broadvoice's number requisition forms and looked through all the available numbers for suitable candidates every hour. I had the advantage of having many numbers that could meet my criteria, though. If there's just one specific number you want you might try calling it and seeing if you can negotiate a transfer?
The best part is if you click Contact Support on that 500 page, it goes to a 500 page.
I'm not confident, because I read this code for less than 5 minutes, but it looks like this is unauthenticated AES-CBC, complete with a padding oracle in fs_wget.c that, ironically, protects the system from what would otherwise be an exploitable integer overflow.

If I'm wrong, and there's a message authenticator somewhere I missed that makes this system secure, I sincerely apologize. It is not even a little unlikely that I'm wrong.
Lol, this page always says 100% available.
The main problem is that there just isn't data on how much these drugs degrade. The expiration date is based on some preliminary measurements and conservative guesstimates. Neither the FDA nor the drug companies really cares or wants to see these dates extended.
Footprint, probably. By then there will be a lot of people fairly crabby about how much space the renewable infrastructure takes up. once people realize that "an acre of solar panels" is an acre of land that we are taking all the energy that Mother Nature uses to, you know, be Mother Nature.

You can see the first few faint traces of it today with complaints about killing birds and such.
I've had no problems with latency, but I'd like to add something not in the original article as a latency-adjacent consideration: stability. Stability is an incredibly important attribute, since the output rate of a dead terminal is zero.

I switched to iTerm2 recently after repeated Terminal.app slowdowns and crashes, and have no issues doing the exact same things I did in the previous application. Good work.

500 for all pages is not exactly a 'minor service outage'.
Looks like its back...
correction.. ITER & derivative based fusion is delayed NOT fusion itself.

Honestly I feel ITER is such a big boondoggle that its cannibalizing pretty much all other fragments of research in fusion. for reference even based on tokamak design MIT ARC is uses much higher T REBCO superconductor based magnets that ITER cannot even adopt. which do you think has a better chance of success? besides that there are multiple other efforts like German stellarator, FRC based design by trialpha and even the opensource focus fusion. IMO its much better to spread the resources into these efforts rather than dumping a bunch of money into monstrosity like ITER and going back into the lap of fossils for next 2 decades.

thinking about [lack of] fusion funding really pisses me off.

Down (500 error), Sweden. My GitHub pages blog is acting up and cannot resolve relative links properly, it seems.
Something I think I've overlooked is exactly this, my environment. I know that I don't help myself, trapping myself in my home.

Good luck with your journey, and thanks.
Isn't that freedom mostly an illusion? I suppose you can hop in the car for an impromptu road trip whenever you like, but you are paying to license, insure, and maintain the car 24/7/365... and most people can't take too many road trips.
But I am trying to picture the market providing if there weren't parking requirements - would a neighborhood reach a point where car owners wanting to move in would pay so much to park that it'd make sense to knock down buildings and put up a parking lot? I suppose that would act as a sort of brake on the whole cycle, since there'd be less housing.

I keep a small Moleskine notepad and a 'Space Pen' in my pocket, mostly just for remembering things and stuff like shopping lists etc. I've tried heaps of apps to do the same thing, but I found something I didn't like about each one. I find taking a few minutes to actually write down a note is actually quite relaxing, and because it takes a bit longer than using an app and it's a bit more involved I tend to remember things better as well.

At work, I have a similar system just with a bigger Rhodia notepad and Lamy Safari on my desk.

Beyond that, I occasionally use Siri as a kitchen timer or to remind me to do stuff if I don't have my notepad with me. Also Gmail/G-Suite for email and storage with my own domain name.
"DEMO fusion reactor pushed beyond 2050" would be a much more honest headline.
Why not use an example that actually works?
Perhaps that link did something for me, I have no idea. Why do you not have an unsubscribe link in your e-mails? Where I live, this is a legal requirement.
Don't cope with it - fix the problem. Emotions are designed to tell you important facts about the word. Pain tells you that there's ongoing physical harm that you ought to avoid, anger tells you that you're in an appropriate position to start or threaten to start a physical fight, grief tells you that you temporarily need to get the support of the tribe as you adjust to your loss, and so forth.

What loneliness tells you is that you haven't gotten the sort of stimuli you'd expect out of having a position in a social group. Experiencing it sucks because this is the sort of thing that is extraordinarily dangerous.

So, how do you get "I am part of a larger group that accepts me" signals? Go and do stuff. If you're not naturally inclined to stay on top of things, get organized about it. Texting/IMing your friends/acquaintances is a good choice. Volunteering somewhere could also help. Regular hobbies are great - I do social dancing. Swipe on a few Tinder profiles and see if you can strike up a conversation. It really doesn't matter what you do, so long as you use your planning faculties and organization to compensate for your lack of socialization drive.
I would suggest you read up on the Shelf Life Extension Program. It's a specific program around either limited use products or products where the gov't hold such large stockpiles that companies won't take returns, it just wouldn't make sense. The most likely scenario is one where the products are never used.

I had a friend who worked on the federal Tamiflu stockpiles. The gov't and the manufacturer have a deal where the gov't gets a significant rebate on unused product that is either put back into circulation or the manufacturer buys it back and destroys it.

Remember, the gov't has companies competitively bid on manufacturing these products (particularly for generics which were most of the examples in the article). Is the company going to give a 100% money back guarantee if it's not used? Would you? I wouldn't.

So yes, there are certain scenarios (stockpiling) where manufacturers don't take back product. That's not most scenarios.

Most scenarios are hospitals holding 30-45 days on hand of product. If they screw up their inventory they should pay a penalty not the manufacturer.

I don't know about that. There are variables beyond theoretical chemistry, like the packaging, the manufacturing process, etc.

I'm not anywhere near knowledgeable on pharma, but I worked on an FDA regulated medical device. If we made a claim, we had to test it. Knowing that e.g. every component in the machine was rated safe between temperatures X and Y did not mean that we didn't have to perform real environmental testing.
I just realized I like this model too. Though it seems like they never include serious security updates. So I have this sort of subscription for a php web app. I'm kind of forced to pay for updates because of security.
I have to think they must, considering they need to be refrigerated. (Or at least the ones I've used did)
It uses ligature level 1. fi, etc., are level 2. Try a font like FiraCode to see ligatures on mostly punctuation like ==.
That's an awful spiral. Correct me if I've misunderstood, but this is caused by bad neighbours? If this is really the root, take the leap and move out! Perhaps you can try flat-sharing next.

I live in a rural town, which I love (courtesy to introversion) but sometimes it can get lonely, and yes, that self-reinforcing spiral then happens. I try to go to tech events in big cities at least once a month so I'm reminded that I 'belong' to this community, even though most of the time I don't interact very much. (And that's ok too, be comfortable with who you are! :)) Seems to be working, that and monthly meetups with old friends and nurturing an appreciation of my own company. This is just me though - try different things so that you can find which suit you best. Chin up!

the incentive would be mostly the fact that fusion scales really well and can make electricity [adjusting for fixed costs] super cheap. almost too cheap to meter!

also there are other uses that can make really plentiful rocketfuel esp for exploration outside of the inner solar system.
Cameras won't add more data as they'll simply discourage people from admitting anything or even going to a doctor. I would not allow my doctor to film me, nor would I imagine most sensible and normal people who have an ordinary sense of privacy. Your doctor works for you, not the other way around, you decide what is acceptable behavior, not them.

I have always thought that the perfect application for wearable head mounted displays would be mechanical repair. I would love to be able to pull up the maintenance manual for my vehicle and have the glasses overlay part names, fastener sizes, and torque settings for whatever part I was looking at. This is a step in that direction.
I don't agree that you can "fix" emotions [or, say, remove an emotion by eradicating all sources], rather than cope with them. But, I think you raise a really valid point. I need to start doing, rather than thinking about it.

This post, albeit inconsequential, was my first step in "doing" something about it. I've been alone for years. I've never admitted it. I'm reaching out. I just need to.. Scale up.

Thanks for the advice.

"Recently tried to use Twilio as a burner for registrations (project to set up unique personas online)."

Another problem with twilio numbers is that they are not mobile numbers. The reason that is a problem is that two factor authentication and other security measures are very often sent from mobile short codes and not from another actual phone number.

And no twilio number can receive any SMS from a short code. It's not possible, since they are not mobile numbers.

This means that you cannot use a twilio number for google products like gmail or google play store - you can never receive the challenge/auth numbers.

Can you clarify this further? To me a callback function is a lambda. It may or may not be a closure.

It is a waste of pills- but in many cases the marginal production cost of a pill is incredibly small. See generic asprin, many hundreds of pills for a few dollars at an ordinary grocery store. More than you need, but the packaging & marketing probably still costs more than the pills.

Over here, benadryl is the main over-the-counter drug I see in blister packs. They say it's to slow down the meth cookers.
Decentralized validation and ordering of transactions is expensive. In Bitcoin, it requires:

1. Miners to validate 1MB of transactions every 10 minutes

2. Users to be able to confirm that the entire chain of transactions was properly validated by the miners

Some ways to make #1 more efficient make #2 more difficult, so they are somewhat at odds with each other. For now, we're looking at a write throughput of between 1tps to 20tps for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

If you don't care about #2, then you don't need the mining model anymore, or even a blockchain. You can just put all your transactions in MySQL, Cassandra, R3 Corda or whatever and you can subsequently crank up your transaction throughput. You can get >10,000tps with MySQL.
Market efficiency means everyone gets cheaper trades with less slippage and less money going to middle men. All of society benefits from market efficiency. If you have a 401k or any stocks of any kind, you benefit from a more efficient market. Efficient means less money is lost in the transaction to middle men like traders. HFT make less per trade than old school manual traders did because they've out competed them and lowered the spread which means you get a better deal when buying and selling stock.
Another way you can mark the descent of Internet culture into low-effort trash is the rapid decline in the artistic quality of web comics. We went from this to badly drawn sneering blobs, stick figures, and memes.
It's fascinating to see the massive propaganda campaign ridesharing companies are launching against parking spots.

You do all understand that's where the massive wave of articles about changing building codes and zoning rules to get rid of parking, both public and privately owned, is coming from, right? Uber, Lyft, etc would love to make it hard or impossible to use a privately owned car in urban areas.

Getting rid of the requirement to put parking will mostly just lower everyone's quality of life- residents will take up all the street parking, making it harder for shoppers to access stores, restaurants, etc, making brick and mortar stores even further disadvantaged versus online retailers while also causing more headaches as businesses are forced to actively police their parking areas against use by non-customers.

But it'll be great news for ride sharing companies, as millions of people find themselves unable to own a car while living in American cities which are entirely designed to require car travel.
I wonder how rdedup would compare.
Agree with this. I've had a large JavaScript codebase where there were so many annoying edge cases mostly caused by variables being null/undefined when you didn't expect it and string/arrays values being mixed up. You could track them down eventually but there was always a feeling of unease that there was more bugs there. If you start using TypeScript with its non-null checking feature and type checking, you can catch so many of these kinds of bugs before even running the code and have high confidence you got them all.
Generally speaking subscription software that isn't SaaS doesn't lock you out when it's over. It just locks you out of updates.
The common LibVTE-based terminals have problems with latency because they're deliberately capped at 40fps. Xterm doesn't have this problem.

Gedit gained this problem when it switched to GTK3. The forced animation for scrolling doesn't help. Mousepad still has low latency, at least in the version included with Debian Unstable, but I worry that port of XFCE to GTK3 will make it as bad as GNOME.

Seems like an easy fix would be to require the manufacturers of patented drugs to replace, free of charge, any unused expired drugs.

Incentivizes the manufacturers to accurately measure expiration times and the marginal cost to them of replacement is much less than to the consumer.
