"nuclear is safe/unsafe" is meaningless unless we compare that with other technologies. Nuclear, despite all its nasty problems, is safer than many other technologies that are in wide use.

Consider coal electricity. It kills much more people globally than potential harm from space probes with nuclear engine blowing up in atmosphere periodically. Yet we continue to burn coal.

Or consider bio-engineering. We mess with cells without understand how they work. And since cells are self-replicating, we have a potential of quickly making the whole planet permanently unsuitable for human life. Compared with that the total risk of nuclear is bounded even after accounting for a possibility of a large-scale global nuclear war. Yet protests against, say, GMO are rather weak compared with protests against nuclear energy.

There are a lot of examples where markets are far from perfect competition; actually most markets are like this. It's just useful to the extent we can see markets that come close to this appear to function well, and so we should use regulation to bring markets closer to this.

I'll say the selfish thing. There isn't (and rightly so) any law that requires us to have children. I say use it. Let the suckers who want children raise the children we need to take care of us when we are to old.

My personal recommendation us when in doubt, err on the side of not having children. Don't make life harder on you than it has to be.

I wish it was more socially acceptable to not have children. In many parts of the world, there is still so much stigma if you marry and don't have a child within a couple of years. I am hopeful things will change and we can swing down the total fertility rate to below one.

On top of the fees there's another point you have to consider: not all buyers will buy at $2k. You may be able to sell 0.1 BTC, but further buyers will buy at decreasing prices, such as $1950, or $1920 or further down. So for bigger volumes you get less than the current advertised value, which is the max you can get if you sold the minimum amount of BTC.

SUSE's Cloud Application Platform is already available to selected customers. It is based Cloud Foundry running on top of Kubernetes, all with a very slick UI. No VMs.

https://www.suse.com/products/cloud-application-platform/
https://www.suse.com/communities/blog/take-look-suse-cloud-a...

I tried it recently with an internal app, and the experience was very similar to Heroku. cf push and my app was running.

Disclosure: I work for SUSE, we contribute to Cloud Foundry and the containers ecosystem. Pivotal is a competitor.
We make use of https://github.com/onsi/ginkgo and Gomega https://github.com/onsi/gomega for BDD testing with more expressive matchers. You might be familiar with some of these concepts from Cucumber/Jasmine/Mocha.

They get significant use in Cloud Foundry and in the Kubernetes e2e tests.

I appreciate a lot of people like the simplicity of the standard test library and if you're starting with Go development, it's not a bad idea to get used to that before exploring external dependencies.

Caveat: While not necessarily a "maintainer", I have been doing a bunch of maintenance on these projects the past few weeks.

Edit: Also we use counterfeiter https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter for fakes.

Any small city with computers, honestly. There are tens of thousands of senior developers, architects, programmer analysts etc that are making $100k or $125k or more in cities you've never heard of with a cost of living that is a small fraction of Silicon Valley. Yes, you're going to find a lot of .Net and Java work, but there's more cutting edge stuff as well (and plenty of the .Net and Java developers I know love talking about Vue or React or anything else tech).

But you need to be okay living in a city nobody's ever heard of, working for a company nobody's ever heard of, and not changing the world. But honestly 99.9% of the people working 80 hour weeks in VC funded start-ups writing the next big CRUD app aren't going to change the world either, and they're paying $3500/mo to rent a 1-bedroom while people in these small cities are paying $1k/mo for a 2-bedroom mortgage a 10 minute commute from their office.

Is there something you would recommend as reading material to understand what the notation means and how to implement something in it?

I study computer science and I've gotten through the classes that involved non-deterministic algorithms, but I still have trouble understanding how quantum computing would actually solve NP-hard problems in polynomial time, just using non-determination of states. I was hoping this project was going to be able to provide me with a more intuitive understanding.
That's a good question, actually. As far as I'm aware, it's not particularly well supported to programmatically connect to another access point, but that may have changed recently.

But that aside, using BLE seems like a better user experience. There's no changing of the user's currently connected access point, and it _might_ be faster, though I haven't tested.

If I can make the setup over Wifi completely transparent to the user then that would be acceptable for me. I actually don't own any ESP8266-based devices, maybe I should buy one and see how it is.
Agree, was trying to come up with examples of worse software and failed.
Yes please. Just the motivation I need.
This is not only cultural and has nothing to do with the Swiss being more ethical or better people.

As always, in Switzerland the system is very smart: The main reason for the high recycling rate in Switzerland is that a 35 liter trash bag costs around 80 cents. The cost for the garbagemen etc. is included in the purchase price of the trash-bag. (Also, the trash-bag is of high-quality and never rips, so garbagemen who get a >4000 CHF monthly salary, almost never waste time picking up trash from ripped trash-bags.)

This is unbelievably smart because this nudges people recycle everything: Paper, carton, glas, metal, and plastic bottles are all thrown away in extra containers that are distributed conveniently within the neighbourhoods. People really fill the expensive, high-quality trash-bags mostly with non-recyclable stuff. If you put in recyclable stuff there is no punishment or anything, you just have to buy more bags, which hurts your pocket.

Compare that to Germany where they rolled out a machinary of expensive plastic-bottle-bar-code reading robots in each and every supermarket that had to be engineered, maintained and protected against tampering/hacking/fraud with false bottles (from Eastern Europe).
If u are a non-technical founder and outsource your dev work, and no one audits anything, its very easy to claim stuff that doesnt actually exist. Willful(?) ignorance.

At my last employeer we handled legal data over the internet and all the encryption had been disabled and never turned back on. The CTO was a DBA, and the CEO thought he was god and never questioned anything he produced. I came in and almost left straight away, but felt sorry for the clients who paid for this garbage.

And the (multiple different) legal software platforms we integrated with was not much better, embedding master passwords / decryption routines in un-obfuscated dlls.
The age of Docker means IMO you should avoid mocks. There's no reason not to have a full integration test against your real API especially because you can compile and run test binaries independently.

Some of the big sells about Heroku for me are:

- Heroku takes care of patching the OS for you.

- You can scale easily to more than one server.

- If a server goes down or becomes unresponsive, Heroku will essentially destroy and recreate it.

- There's lots of simple options for backups, rollbacks, logging and alerts.

How does this and other solutions like Dokku compare? If your project isn't making much money I can understand wanting to keep costs low. If you're building something for a client or are making a profit though, trying to save something like $1K (a few days of a developers time) a year doesn't make a lot of sense. To get all of the above, you're going to have to spend significantly more in developer time and end up with something less robust which will likely have lots of growing pains. Heroku lets you just get on with the coding.
I don't think people respond well to this kind of objective reasoning, it just doesn't work very well as an argument. At worse it can sound like you are calling them dumb. We need to explain the benefits, and why they are worth a tiny amount of risk. And accept that sceticism and concern are exactly what an intelligent layman should be exhibiting. Wondering if the thing is going to explode and cause cancer is a perfectly legitimate question to ask. To pursuade people you need to engage with them on an emotional level, not just bash them dismissively.
It's funny Asana is somehow the 2nd design principle example, as they're an utter mess.

I've used Asana on and off since it started. Because I'm an occasional user, it feels as if every time I come back to it, something seems to have changed and I lose all reference to where my tasks are.

Right now, whenever I go there every few months, I have to remember that my client's tasks are buried in a dropdown in the top right.

Worst part is, it doesn't look like a dropdown, it doesn't look like a menu, it doesn't look like a link. It's just black text saying "Overview" next to my picture.

Also, for some reason the default task list I land on is completely empty. I have no idea why. At one point I was using it for quite a lot of stuff and there are a load of unfinished tasks in it when I start clicking in categories in the right. But there is no indication anywhere on the screen of what lists might actually contain something.

It's a bloody awful design.

Their design principle no. 6:

Be consistent and standard, and innovate when it’s worth it.

So you can have design standards all you want, but when your designers think "consistent and standard" means something completely different than your users, it turns out they're not really meaningful.

To throw another one onto the _have you looked at X_ pile, Microsoft Research has put a lot of effort into the Why3 theorem proving platform, which is the backend for the verifier built into their (experimental?) verifier-aware, imperative language, Dafny[1]. It feels very much like writing C#/Java but with verified pre/post conditions, loop invariants etc.

I took a formal verification course in college that involved writing several verified sorting, search etc. algorithms in Dafny [2]. I remember it being somewhat cumbersome to write your assertions in a way that the checker can check them, but it's looks very much like what you're suggesting.

(At the time I didn't realise that not only does the checker check the program, but compiles it into a CLR-compatible binary, hence you'll see equivalent C code for comparison)

Also, a Christmas bonus is waaaaaay more expensive than a (nice) Christmas/office party has to be (unless you rent a fancy venue or something like that). It would feel a bit weird to get a $30 dollar "bonus", at least I would rather pool that together and make some enjoyable memories with people.

I don't think the ESP8266 wifi story is different from the ESP32, but it might be. You do have to connect to another access point, yes, but if you have an Android app, the app can handle that itself. I think the iOS UX is a bit worse, though, so BLE might be worth it there.

A lot of firmware for the ESP8266 has been using the access point method, and it's worked great all the times I've tried it.
More details in this german article: https://www.golem.de/news/kilopower-ein-kernreaktor-fuer-rau...

I'll summarize some of the interesting points:

- The nuclear core (75kg of enriched uranium/molybdenum [1]) is designed to not go critical, even if it accidentally falls into the sea and is surrounded by water (which is a good neutron reflector). It only starts when you surround it with a neutron reflector made of beryllium (an even better neutron reflector, mainly due to less absorbtion). Combined with the fact that the reactor only gets nasty when it's been running for a while (and thus is already far away from earth) it is a lot safer than plutonium fueled RTGs.

- It would be very useful to reach far away destinations (like the orbit of Uranus, Neptun or Pluto) using ion drives, as they need to run for years and solar panels aren't effective far away from the sun.

- While there have been other attempts at developing nuclear reactors for space, most of them didn't go far. They could use an existing research reactor (Flattop [2]) for this project which already has all the required permissions to run, so a lot of paperwork could be saved for the Kilopower experiments.

- The Kilopower reactor is the first to use heatpipes instead of pumps for the heat transport and stirling engines for the energy generation. The first experiment was thus to show that the cyclic heat draw of the stirling engine would be safe, because usually nuclear reactors reach an equilibrium between heating up (and thus expanding slighty which slows down the reaction) and cooling down (which accelerates the reaction).

- Instead of the planned eight 125W Stirling engines, they're currently using two 70W ones from the Advanced Stirling Converter Project [3]. The other ones will be simulated using simple heatsinks.

- Theoretically it could run for hundreds of years (after 500 years less than 1% of the uranium will be used), but the Stirling engines will break much sooner than that.

Customers can only choose not demand, so this is simply a red herring to shift and diffuse blame and responsibility to consumers from the primary abuser who is actually doing this, and create an environment of helplessness.

Tomorrow if customers demand 10% of the existing prices are companies going to line up with slave labour conditions to deliver and then shift blame? Responsibility does not work like this.

Actually "Why Plato" is a very popular topic, e.g.

https://blog.logos.com/2013/11/plato-christianity-church-fat...

Plato was definitely not somebody who wasn't to the taste of the Christians. And he can't be meaningfully compared with Sappho, who was obviously seen as a "pure" example of "incompatibility" just like some other antique traditions. Please see my other comments here for the context of the actual writing against female and male homosexuality by the earliest writer, Paul, in the very oldest texts of what later became the New Testament! Read the context there, (although I understand it can be hard as it will probably be greyed, hidden etc. even if these aspects are widely known among the researchers, for centuries) here I just quote:

"Romans 1:26-27 King James Version (KJV)

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet."

Once again, note that this is an older Christian text than the Gospels!

And again, regarding the connection to the Greek philosophy it's the Gospel of John (written later than Paul's Epistles and also later than other Gospels and the Acts) that starts with (in the original Greek) "In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God." (that's the correct translation of John 1:1):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logos

"Despite the conventional translation as 'word'," ["Logos" was] "not used for a word in the grammatical sense; instead, the term lexis (λέξις) was used."
