As I said, new technologies might change that assessment, but these technologies are not even on the horizon yet.

The problem with nuclear waste, however, very much exists already.

And there is no mention that these SMR create less nuclear waste or that they can't be turned into weapons grade material. Certainly even the fissile material in an SMR would be enough for a dirty bomb out of hell. Let alone the material you can steal from a dozen reactors in a sparsely populated area, none of which will have significant security.

> Why would you create a special data type to represent a string split by Whitespace?

Big chunks of Rust are build around iterators, and `split_whitespace` returns an iterator of type `SplitWhitespace`. Because this is a concrete type, the Rust compiler and LLVM will then work to together to completely inline it, and they will generate code that looks like a hand-rolled loop.

There are some downsides to this system—it usually takes me about 10 minutes to write custom iterators for a new data structure—but iterators are very nice to program with and they go fast.

There's a new 'impl Trait' feature scheduled for later this year which will eliminate the need to export a custom struct like this. And it will eliminate the 10 minutes I spend writing iterators. Of course, it adds a new language feature. Nothing's free.

> Rust gives me a headache. I want to like it, but it just seems so... overengineered

I admit, Rust does sometimes have a "heavy industry" feeling to it. But this has some nice benefits, too:

1. I can write cross-platform CLI tools that Just Work on Linux, MacOS and Windows, because Rust has good abstractions for paths, files, threads, etc.

2. I can write multi-threaded code that does things like, "Read an arbitrary stream of bytes in a background thread, compress it, break it into 5MB chunks, and upload each of those chunks to S3 in parallel, using no more than N worker threads and applying backpressure, and do all this in the background while I work on something else." And thanks to Rust's threading rules, all this will work on the first try, with no nightmarish threading bugs.

3. In general, if my Rust code actually compiles, there's about an 85% chance that it will work flawlessly on the first try.

Personally, these are benefits that I'm willing to pay for. And Rust does require some familiarity both with how processors work, and with functional programming. And of course, everybody has different tradeoffs. But for certain kinds of work, Rust really hits the sweet spot.
Amazon isn't my first choice anymore.

Not just because of the risk of fake products (I buy from ebay and Wish). But also because of the incomprehensible range of "add on" only items; prime only items; and then variable prices for shipping.
Because unlike most other programming languages, Rust is well-engineered and seeks to both provide the most general abstractions possible and to make the code generated by them as efficient as possible.

In particular, for this task, this requires to:

1. Return references to subranges of the original string, rather than copying them, so that no copy happens if you only need to examine the component instead of storing it

2. Not use reference counting to do so, but rather statically checked references with lifetimes, to avoid unnecessary instructions to update the reference count and lack of a static finalization point

3. Provide a way to get components one by one, so that if you only need e.g. the first two, time is not wasted to split the whole string

4. Provide that through a generic Iterator trait, so that it may be passed to generic methods (like one that collects the result into a vector)

5. Dispatch that generic trait statically rather than using an indirect call as that would destroy performance

6. Make the state manipulated by such an interface into a first-class object, and allow to put them in a data structure (like an array) while still doing static dispatch, so that you can, for instance, split multiple strings into components and interleave them without ever making an indirect call.

The combination of these essential requirements results in the creation of the SplitWhitespace<'a> data type, which represents the state of a parser splitting a string into 'a-lifetime references to whitespace-separated its components one by one, implementing the Iterator trait, and usable in a data structure.

I don't see how their race affects anything. Race and gender affect the outcome, but only in negative ways. Either by preventing a fair outcome, or by casting doubt on the fairness of the outcome.
Can someone explain what the downside is? I'd much rather the rich spend their money on art than activities with huge negative externalities like flying around in private jets, buying land or employing servants.
Exactly. It's an almost catch-22 situation: old reactors are unsafe, so people protest building new ones, which would make the old ones obsolete and make the whole technology safer.
> Note that it’s exactly the same in other major statically-typed languages like Java or C++

It's not just statically typed languages. Python also returns loads of special types from iterator functions, they are just usually not documented as being types:

>>> type(itertools.chain([1, 2], [3, 4]))
<class 'itertools.chain'>

Shalom Auslander wouldn't disown his son. He wouldn't refuse to go to his wedding (unlike children of Hassidim who marry people who aren't Jewish). There's a world of difference between what he would do and what Hassidim do to their children when they become irreligious.

You also need to take into consideration that Auslander had a very negative upbringing as a Hassid, and therefore his supposed lack of tolerance could be put down to PTSD - Hassidim don't have the same excuse.
Meta-comment: I haven't seen this noted elsewhere, but there's been a very sudden and significant acceleration in the pace of space launch. So far there have been 22 launches this year, which is about double the pace of last year. And there are more than 180 launches planned -- again, double the pace of last year. The most launches ever to occur in a single year was 139 -- during the height of the space race in 1967. Although many of this year's planned launches will undoubtedly slip into next year, we're quite likely to set an all-time record:

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

Also notable is the fact that of the 22 launches this year, three have been the debuts of entirely new vehicles, two of which were entirely privately funded. There are likely to be several more private launch vehicle debuts this year.

This is a really significant shift for what had long been a moribund industry, and a lot of complementary innovations will be able to piggyback onto this momentum.
Some sites do break. The problem is that by the time you run into one you'll have forgotten you changed this setting.
> don’t know what to call it instead of communism

I would describe China's economy system as capitalism. There is however the caveat that the government has a history with interfering with private ownership to pursue its interests, and their law has a history of approving that. This is different from e.g. the USA where the law is very propetive of private ownership and the law usually sides with it against the government.

I would say that with respect to this metric Russia and the EU are somewhere in between.
I suspect you might think I demand that every byte is used absolutely optimally.

I'm sure some crazy chap out there could write this application with only a few hundred bytes of memory, but that's beside the point.
I’m starting to find a FaaS architecture can remove complexity for the developer.

The CRUD functions themselves are easy to write and test.

Then everything else is handled by the infrastructure layer. Auth, security policies, rate limiting, request timeouts, autoscaling, logs, tracing, etc.

With Rails the developer has to build a lot of this into the application layer. And the dev has to do more operations over time to maintain the app and database.

I am working on a boilerplate app that demonstrates all the functionality you get from “serverless” and documents all of the things we no longer have to worry about:

> Can the Chinese avoid a serious recession forever? You would have to assume not, that will ultimately be the test of how well their system holds up.

China is sitting on a knife edge, I suspect. There are all manner of things than can bring it crashing down. Automation--demographic imbalance(too many men)--nuke from North Korea.

(As much as the West frets about North Korean nukes--practically all the major Chinese cities are closer. Can you imagine if North Korea nuked a Chinese city?)

The problem is what will happen as the dinosaur falls. Dinosaurs can take a long time to die and cause a lot of damage while doing so.
Are you talking about the century where (all attributes based on self-identification) a realm ruled by a socialist party was waging war against socialist republics ruled by a communist party? Doesn't really sound like they were fighting over semantic pedantry. Or maybe they were, and they were just incredibly good at hiding it.

In the context of an alleged "art hijacking", I say it doesn't matter at all.
> ask if if people eat dog meat

If southern China is anything like northern Vietnam, which I have been led to believe it is, then dog meat consumption is widespread - I have seen it with my own eyes. According to Wikipedia, 20 million dogs are killed in China for consumption per year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat#Mainland_China Most people, including myself, find the idea of eating dog meat abhorrent, and yet it is a cultural norm in China.

10,000 people were killed in Tiananmen Square in 1989, and many of them were deliberately squished into mush by tanks. The thought of that happening in the West is beyond the scope of my imagination. Chinese people live in a world of brutal, ruthless dictatorship that will literally grind them to mush under tank treads by the thousands if they protest. To act as if finding that supremely unappealing and objectionable is "warped" is delusional.
My wife uses a vinyl cutter at a local hackerspace, and I wanted to make the same comment. When I saw it, I realized it was a 2-d printer. Somebody else put in a pen to draw huge mazes. I wonder if the smaller cheaper pen plotters could be modified to cut vinyl?
> Why should I not be allowed to criticize something that I don't like because of things that (...)

There is a very simple answer to that: because you won't sound convincing to the other side.

I agree with you from a moral point of view: just because your side did something wrong doesn't mean you can't criticize the wrongs of the other side. But from a practical point of view, your side probably already agrees with you, and the other side will just ignore you.
Do you care whether what you say actually has a positive effect, or do you just say things just to have an opinion? If it's the latter, no arguing with you. But if it's the former, then you need to consider how the receiver is going to interpret it given their background and point of view. Many Chinese view the US call for democracy as hypocritical and ignorant. If you care about them truly listening to you then yes, it is a very good idea to consider what people from your general geographic area have done in the past. They are no fault of your own, but it's still your problem.

Let me put it this way. If Microsoft wants you to believe that they are no longer evil, they have to do more than simply having the latest CEO proclaim "I am not Bill Gates and what he did was not what I did".

Yes, I just meant that in a dynamically typed language you don’t have the problem of types leaking to signatures because there are no type annotations in the first place. And when there are, everything has indirection anyway.

I think we’ve been late to re-examine some of the ideological memes from eh 80s-90s, which formed as the Soviet Union failed.

In a nutshell, it was triumphalist. The Soviet Union, was oppressive, had a failed economy, it’s people wanted out.. wanted democracy, rights, capitalism.

All the aspects of soviet failure (and the West’s success) were pinned in the “ideology” or system of government. Free markets, liberal democracy, independent courts, late night talk shows… These were all taken as a single system, which beat out a rival system.

Looking back… Do we think that if the US had a Leninist revolution 100 years ago and Russia had had Tatcher & Churchill, that everything would be reversed. We see countries succeeding and failing regardless of clear ideological links.

Implementation is usually more important than ideas. Stalinism was a very bad implementation. China’s last generation was a good one. The ideological underpinnings… less important.

Anyway… the major & minor powers run almost identical economic systems these days. China, US, Russia, Japan, EU, UK…

“Large Corporations”, almost sums up the system. At the scales modern corporations live on, the concept of free markets is fairly watered down. Banking, real estate (housing), transport, education… there are no free markets here.

Elsewhere in the economy (e.g. consumer tech), oligopolies run the show.

China has inched its way over to an almost identical economic system. I think the west has taken a few steps towards china’s. They’ll “intervene” more (like using the great firewall to keep out foreign competition), but … meh .. China runs a local monopoly rather than adopting the international one. It’s not really a big deal, economically.

Basically, the economic system of china is the same as the west’s. Neither are very similar to the ideological systems they pay lip services to.

Also, free markets don’t exist within companies. Companies are “islands of planning.” Well, the corporations are continents these days. Inside a company, totalitarianism is perfectly acceptable in Ohio, just like it is in Xiamen.

When it comes to linking western rule-of-law, rights-centric constitutions and such to economic success… I’m not sure that link is really there. I think this was triumphalism and wishful thinking.

Anyway, Russia accepted a lot of western systems. They have a free-ish market, a democratic constitutions.

Yet, Putin is running yet again. The betting odds are currently @ 1/500 of him winning.

My TLDR point is that the ideological lens is very, very foggy. It distorts our view of the world with easy-to-digest narratives and categories, but it really doesn’t describe the world.

We need to drop this cold war mentality. I was 7 years old when the Berlin wall came down, why am I still thinking in these terms!!
ZFS is available in RHEL/CentOS. Not as a first-party option, but thanks to kABI that Red Hat provides, it is provided by the ZoL project also in a form of a binary kernel module, ready to go, without having to fumble around with DKMS and compilers.

Btrfs is being obsoleted by RHEL only, because they have XFS expertise, but not Btrfs. No need to split limited resources. Other distributions will continue with development. SuSE doesn't intend to stop.
That's pretty funny. I think its ok to let yourself approve - just make sure you have banter about every nationality's cuisine.

I was eating with a Chinese client who at various times had served dishes like donkey and tree frog, and I really couldn't tell what I was eating but it sure was unusual. I asked what it was and the client chewed his food, paused thoughtfully for a minute and then reported "I think it is some type of meat". If I have ever eaten something furry that we keep as pets, that might have been the time.

How come nationalism is evil?

What's evil about me wanting to live with people with whom I share cultural heritage, language, ethics and peculiarities of perception of life? What's wrong with having an independent sovereign government, with having laws and rules tailored specifically to this large tribe I belong to?

I have no desire for my nation to invade other countries or to impose our rules and ways of life on other people. That said, I also will not tolerate foreign interference in my nation's affairs, come it from a single country or international gang, such as UN.

Nations and nationalism are not evil, they are manifestations of different, unique ways of human development, manifestations of the very diversity Western leftists crave for.

It depends on the app. I use SelfControl.app for Mac, which blocks a list of websites for a duration of time. It resolves the IP addresses of all blocked domains, then generates a set of ipfw rules and applies them to all interfaces.

You can disable the block, but it’s a huge PITA especially if you just want to disable one site. It’s a minimum five minute effort to unblock a site; for me that’s plenty sufficient motivation to get back to work.
It doesn't help you because the money don't go directly to you. They go to companies own by other rich people, companies that have contracts with the government. So you keep taxing the rich and they keep getting their money back.
Ok, I've played with the "Look around" example and it does behave as a space, with the "Closer to home" option producing somewhat similar results to the starting point, and the slider producing concepts that look farther away from it.

Maybe the "Gimme a gradient" option step is too large for sentences that are far away, and an option to produce more steps, closer between them, would produce more intuitive results?
Having witnessed a uuid collision in only millions records, I can assure you it's not a laughing matter.
Perhaps a bit simplified. But yes, "the purpose of advertisement is to prime our pattern recognition to pick up the logo when we are shopping" sounds plausible. It also offers a model why one needs to advetize when working in market already saturared with advertisements. Without priming the customer your product might get lost in noise.

So it's not only that the product becomes familiar after advertisements - also, it means it is picked up at all by human sensory apparatus among all the other products.
It's not simply more discrimination though. It rebalances the existing discrimination.
