Do any places accept digital pay?

I stopped in Klamath Falls, Oregon to do three weeks worth of filthy clothes while out traveling this summer and found a spectacular new laundromat which accepted Apple Pay! That's now my first line discriminator when looking for a laundromat on the road, if you take Apple Pay I'm picking you. That will weed out the low end mildew, lint, and mold holes that you sometimes find.
The full answer would be kinda long but this is a rehash of the debate that has been had many times over.

You cannot just compare obj-c vs generics, you need to also account for the fact that when you are obj-c development, you might need some fast code and as a result drop to c. And code reuse is hard to impossible in C.

The fact that code reuse can be done without a performance hit is enough of a difference difference on it's own as it pushes down the level at which code reuse can be done. E.g. you can use generics for Graphics or Audio or general low level stuff.
Is this a personal attack on me? :^)

The projection in your comment is unreal: a just world fallacy where only unattractive people can be smart, attractive people are mindless, which was definitely not the point.

Metaphorically then.
All modern software is built on layers upon layers of leaky abstractions. If you view fundamentals as nothing more than hazing rituals, you won't even be aware of just where the abstractions start to leak and you'll end up writing shitty code. Of course, it's perfectly possible nowadays to do so and let it be an SEP (Somebody Else's Problem).

I am an old-school software engineer sharing the GNU principles. I would like to work on valuable scientific problems and/or important Free Software. I am available for contract, or part-time work, starting from December.
I find it super weird how Python is still in this state while even PHP has managed to get something good going.

To me, this is a clear case of trying to fix a broken system whereas starting from scratch would be much better.

Our stack: Python, Go, VueJS, Kubernetes, BigQuery, GCP. You'll be getting in early, so you'll have a chance to help shape and grow all of this.

Our office is in Center City Philly, convenient to transit and all the good things a major city can offer.

You can apply via our careers page, http://www.bainbridgehealth.com/careers, or by emailing me using the address in my profile.

We are currently very actively looking for a clinical data analyst to help support both product development and customer clinical support. You would be working in a very hands-on fashion with the medication safety teams at some of the most prominent hospitals in the country to drive real-world improvements in medication delivery. This isn't ad-tech, this is actually improving and saving lives.

We are also very interested in hiring a front-end engineer who is interested in data visualization. This is an opportunity to build incredibly useful tools that save professionals huge amounts of time and drive executive-level decisions at some of the largest healthcare organizations in the country.

Confinement of radioactive material and control of radioactive releases

As a result of the damage to the reactor cores in Units 1–3, large amounts of steam and hydrogen escaped the reactor pressure vessels. This, in turn, pressurized and heated the primary containment vessels. These vessels were breached and steam, hydrogen and other gases, together with radioactive material, were released into the reactor buildings and eventually to the environment. The primary containment vessels of the reactors had not been designed to withstand the pressure that could be generated in a severe accident; because of this, venting systems had been installed in the 1990s [22, 23] to limit the pressure in the containment vessels in the event of an accident. There are indications that the primary containment vessels for Units 1–3 failed at various stages in the progression of the accident. This was the result of the pressure and temperature in the primary containment vessel rising to levels that were far in excess of their designed capability before venting could be implemented (see Section 2.1). The leakage of radioactive material from the reactor cores was partially mitigated by the suppression pools, which retained some of the radionuclides released from the reactor pressure vessels.

That should be clear enough.

The radioactive water problem is huge. It was not "pumped into spent fuel storage". Several large tank farms were built to store it, along with a processing plant to remove radioactive solids. Some of it did leak into the Pacific Ocean.

> One minor quibble though, as offshore construction procedures improve, and get cheaper, it looks as though more sites are becoming "easy." And in the US, off-shore wind construction hasn't even really begun.

Offshore construction procedures aren't going to improve by a ton. There is half a century of intense offshore experience in the oil sector, and two decades of experience building a lot of off shore wind. Even with that, prices has stabilised at a very high level. Yes, there is low-hanging fruit in the US, that is correct, but the total potential (miles of coast) is very limited.

> Nuclear is also similarly "non-dispatchable" when compared to wind

Strictly speaking, yes, but it's non-dispatchable in the opposite direction, if you will. It's much, much more efficient to have nuclear covering the base load in the grid, and then having some gas to deal with peak loads, whereas for wind or solar, you need alternative sources to cover nearly the whole installed capacity (a cold, cloudy day with little wind). But yes, if you were to get to 100% nuclear, you'd need a good (if smaller) storage solution, as with wind and solar.

> The numbers you are citing already are best-case scenarios, of well-managed projects

Both Olkiluoto and Hinkley Point C have famously and massively overrun their initial estimates. Optimistic numbers would be those for, say, South Korea or China.

> without huge cost overruns like what happens in the US.

That's going to be true (or solved) for any large, complex project, whether wind, solar or nuclear.

Yes, unsafe blocks one way in which the Rust doesn't privilege built-ins and the standard library (much) over external code: people can write high performance a abstractions without them needing to be baked into the language. This is exactly what has occurred with multidimensional arrays with external libraries like ndarray.

The author does not write about the broader context of the demise of the screen saver. Energy Star played a part, who needs their monitor on anyway?

Operating Systems also came with their own screen savers plus the people that liked screen savers were not prone to buying software, usually software was pirated or unlicensed in the 90s. Therefore this crowd were happy with openGL Windows screen savers. This was during a time when the Mac barely existed in the corporate world.

Really this product should never have existed and we should have moved to modern power management of monitors 30 years ago. Think of the electricity that could have been saved.

Actually it is NOT cheap to operate a nuclear power plant after it is built. That is why nuclear plants in Illinois and New York have been bailed out recently and why utilities in other starts are looking for similar bailouts. These utilities could not profitably operate existing nuclear plants in the current market. I totally agree that nuclear power has a much better safety record than most would believe and that nuclear power is a great low carbon electricity source, but it is not a cheap power source. Maybe modular reactors can compete sometime in the future, but we really have no idea until some are built and operated.

> Benchmarking is pretty meaningfree in the best cases.

That's completely false. Benchmarking is a core staple of building & evaluating performance-sensitive libraries or other routines. It doesn't work (well) in non-deterministic languages which reduces its usefulness scope, but in things like C++ it's highly useful and reliable for evaluation of libraries and monitoring for regressions.

> The JVM is slow in many regimes due to things like JIT warmup. Rather than accepting that many JVM people are hypersensitive: thou must only benchmark in the JVM's best case scenario.

Well it's not just the JIT that's a problem. It's also things like GC passes. Does that get included in the results or not? Do you force GC passes between runs? How about finalizers? The answers to those questions depends on the state of the rest of the system and the expected workload, it's not something you can just trivially answer or even accommodate in a framework since most of the behavior is up to the particular implementation, which can then further vary based off of command line flags.
To the layman, I imagine this reads as either "they spent a few minutes writing one paragraph and made $9B" or "they agonized for years over something as small as a single paragraph that was worth $9B"; neither of these are reasonable interpretations. It is only to the advanced technical reader that I think there is any hope of them interpreting it in the correct manner.

> is it kind of similar to Go where any file can simply import

You declare your crate dependencies in a Cargo.toml file. Rust does proper versioning of dependencies so having a separate manifest is desirable. Within your code you declare the existence of a crate via `extern crate` and then you can use it wherever.

> the compiler force you to remove the imports too

it warns.
SF has an extreme homelessness problem, smells like urine in upscale pedestrian magnet areas (not just back-alleys) and the residential buildings are poorly maintained to the point it being visually distracting because the land underneath them is so much more valuable than the edifices themselves.

NYC is better, but still fairly grungy. Boston is substantially better along these metrics. Montreal and Quebec city, two of the oldest and, by dint of age, pedestrian-friendly cities on the continent, are leagues ahead of SF as well in this respect.

SF is great. Love the vibe. But lets not kid ourselves into thinking it is clean.
