> Nuclear power has always been tied to nuclear weapons in terms of infrastructure and technology.

This is a reason to be wary of nuclear power in e.g. Iran. If you're worried that nuclear power in the United States or Europe will allow western countries to develop nuclear weapons, you're too late.

It should also be noted that (edit: some of) the first nuclear weapons were developed using uranium, which is naturally occurring and can be enriched using centrifuges or other technology without any nuclear reactor at all.

> And fear of "nuclear" technology isn't totally about rational arguments. It's not baseless either, because so many "impossible" accidents happened and its so hard to dispose of nuclear waste safely.

This is FUD. Nothing is ever "impossible" but we deal with things more dangerous than nuclear waste on a regular basis, with less care taken and more actual accidents. Meanwhile you have a nuclear plant with multiple safety measures, then something happens which overcomes half of them but not the other half and the story is how unsafe this is rather than how the multiple overlapping safety layers worked as intended.

The only majors disasters have been outside the United States in plants with lower safety requirements. The Chernobyl plant was designed unsafely and operated unsafely and even then the death toll was on the same order of magnitude as the collapse of a skyscraper or the sinking of a large ship, but nobody calls for an end to skyscrapers or ships, much less dams (which are much more dangerous), and that's before we even mention automobiles.

The waste problem is also entirely political. The major long half life component is plutonium, which can be reprocessed and used as reactor fuel in newer reactors, which actually permanently destroys it -- the only way to make sure it's never used for weapons. The shorter half life components have to be stored to cool off, but we're talking dozens of years rather than thousands there. Many of them also have commercial value in medical imaging and things like that.
The Other Reason for the Stock Market Rally: Stock Scarcity
I guess Chestertons broader point is that avoiding feelings, existing culture etc gives very bad results, exactly like what happened during the French Revolution.

Edit: misread the question originally, though it asked about the reason for including it here. Rewrote it to answer the actual question.
Firstly, stopping hurricanes with bombs will not actually work and will instead make them worse.

Secondly, because clean nukes need to be so huge that they are simply too dangerous for their utility. Think at minimum "more powerful than all conventional explosives ever produced" level huge.

While doing things like channeling to the Qattara depression sounds promising, the actual practical problems of operating with true city-busters are just too great. There are plenty of industrial accidents caused by explosives every year, you don't want to live in a world where a really bad accident can wipe out a city.

> Can you clarify this a bit? I don't really understand the problem - I have an Exchange server synced on my iPhone and there are no problems.

The native email app does not sync mails that are being filtered into folders properly. Or let's say: it sometimes does it, sometimes it does not. I just lost any trust into it and drag down every folder to be sure that there isn't a new mail in there. It's a pain. I asked around on the forums and reddit and even though the issue is not new, nobody could help me out. Some pointed out that it surely is an issue with the server but it works flawlessly with the Windows Phone and Android.

> Create a fabulously successful business that puts 350,000 jobs on offer (that didn't exist before Amazon was built), and you're likened to a thief?

No, and if you'd read more closely you'd have realized I didn't do that. I merely used a analogy involving a thief that clearly illustrates one characteristic that's relevant here. Analogies don't map one-to-one onto a topic.

You really should have gotten it, too, since I didn't just stop at the analogy. I went to apply the concept it was meant to illustrate directly to the situation.

Furthermore, the fact that Amazon is a "job creator" doesn't hold it, its labor practices, or the jobs it creates above criticism.
Is it possible for Rust to store this in 64 bits?

enum Boxed<T>
Number(double),
Some(T)
}

ie, a type which can either be a double or a pointer by encoding the pointer as invalid (NaN) floating point numbers? Many JS engines use this trick.

I thought the same thing about the Fulton recovery system. Really feels like the cold war era was this era of advanced technology infancy, where we were going wild about all the possibilities. So much half baked mad Science and engineering that made it really far into development.
I worked with Lutz, the primary developer, briefly in 2006. I used NewLISP for a few years after that, mostly for distributed computing with net-eval(). I briefly tried using it as a systems programming language where one might have reached for Perl or the then-up-and-coming Ruby or Python. If you like lispy languages, you'll probably enjoy playing with it.
Any situation where C would segfault immediately, Rust would also segfault immediately. The only difference is that Rust references are an alternative to C pointers that provide stronger safety guarantees at the cost of restricting what is possible (in other words, the same tradeoff that all static analyses make, including every type system). You can also use C-style pointers in Rust, but you can get away with just using references the vast majority of the time, which gives you better memory safety guarantees at no runtime cost since references are just pointers at runtime (and they're often automatically marked as restrict pointers at that). You're not going to get Heartbleed in Rust by using references.
That's literally what Rust compiler errors are doing. :P
Yup. Part of why I wrote this post is for exactly this reason. This phrase is used colloquially, but I think it misleads a lot of people on how Rust actually works.
Sequence Modeling with Neural Networks – Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs)
Yeah, that's a very interesting observation. I'm trying to think of pre-internet means of doing that... You can't really observe without being observed in the absence of a broadcast mechanism. You're just the weird person in the back who shows up but doesn't talk to anyone.

So, I had been thinking about this post for a while, and Blow's video caused some more discussion that made me post it. But it's not a direct response, I still haven't watched the video, and so I don't know what he actually said. If I wanted it to be a response, I would have linked to it.

> The symptoms are changed, but no less dangerous.

I would take issue with this sentiment. There's a world of difference between "logic error and/or panic" and "undefined behavior".

Yes, Rust doesn't fix all bugs. But it's still an improvement here.
Wonderful inductive reasoning from why object oriented programming of a game is challenging in Rust to some larger lessons about managing large type systems. I felt the discussion of crossing the barrier to Lua hinted towards some larger truths about types in distributed systems.

This is like going after drug dealers for parking violations and calling a press conference to proudly brag about it. Game publishers are doing much worse stuff and you're making a big deal about going after them for tracking!?

> ("unsafe { myvec[0] }")

Part of the point in my post is that this does not remove the bounds check. This unsafe block does nothing.

This actually might be a better example than the one I picked...
But at the same time, just about every software engineering decision has a long tail of oddball edge cases. You could use any of these to justify a new "Falsehoods Programmers Believe About X" principle, but for many of them it's (in my opinion) vacuous to bother because it's either unnecessary to deal with it or it's legitimately strange and exceptionally suboptimal for the client to be designed that way.

For example, I don't really have a problem with the way Youtube presents itself on the iPhone X screen in landscape mode. It's not perfect, but nothing is actually breaking. There is some unused screen real estate. There isn't so much a falsehood here as an aversion to a more sophisticated screen filling methodology. If someone were to view YouTube in a screen shaped like a circle, the YouTube developers would have a strong argument that's not a fact of life but an oddball thing to do, and consequently not support it.

Conversely there are legitimate consequences if you make false assumptions about e.g. foreign language encodings, email validation, characters present in human names, etc. These are domains with edge cases that have a huge number of unknown unknowns due to very culturally significant and non-dismissable reasons. You also can't really skimp out on designing for them because doing so could completely break functionality or introduce security vulnerabilities.
We use it mostly when Slack goes down, as it has a few times in the last few months. But lack of video calling and screen sharing make Keybase a no-go for us. If you don’t need those, I HIGHLY recommend it.
Understanding universal application code structure in Nuxt.js
I don't think that anyone's claiming that Rust is objectively a simple language. Simpler than some other languages, certainly, but it's a medium-sized language at best.

Furthermore, unsafe code gives new users a firm boundary of complexity that can be ignored. New to Rust? Don't use the unsafe keyword. Using the unsafe keyword? Read the nomicon first. It's quite useful for onboarding to know that all the C-style UB shenanigans are behind a gate that can be ignored until you're comfortable with the rest of the language.

We all would. They're still emerging! I think the generational index idea is one of them, though.
This explains how the debris basins and flood control channels manage the mud and sand that flow out of the San Gabriel mountain foothills. Los Angeles County spends many millions of dollars cleaning and maintaining these structures during heavy rain years, especially after fires have burnt the hillsides.

I've always felt that the people who live right up against the mountains, the people with nice expansive homes in the foothill communities, are effectively subsidized by the rest of the county. OTOH, those people pay a bigger price in terms of insurance and fire risk.

Still, that foothill real estate is expensive. Maybe they should be taxed more heavily??

newLISP was the butt of half the jokes on #scheme over a decade ago. I'm surprised it had enough uptake to stick around. Uniquely for a Lisp, all objects are deep-copied by value when passed around. It also doesn't have closures. To get around these and other limitations, it has a notion of contexts that are auto-dereferenced ("default functor calls") so you can pass values by reference with syntactic sugar. At least that's how I remember it--not sure how much has changed. The way you emulate closures in newLISP is morally similar to how cl.el does it for Emacs (true lexical closures are a late addition to Emacs Lisp), namely by generating a completely new function for each closure instance, with the closed-over values in the environment hard-wired into it.

In my opinion, you can find much better versions of this sort of thing in Tcl, if for some reason you really want it.

Props to the author for keeping it going for this long, though.

And your point about taking breaks is valid.

But I agree with the parent's about not using a break as a magic elixir. You need to detach once in a while AND put reasonable regular limitations.
Yeah it doesn't need to be a conscious and deliberate choice. If some folks have more of a tendency to do this and wind up with trendier resumes, then simply hiring trendy resumes for senior roles gets you there.

One of my major points is that "avoiding the borrow checker" and "turning off the borrow checker" are two distinct ideas.

When dealing with unsafe code, it's very important to know exactly what's going on. Thinking that it turns off checks leads to you misunderstanding what's going on, and that's dangerous.
My wife agrees. She says she would give up electricity, indoor plumbing, and antibiotics before giving up chocolate. Apparently death is preferable to life without chocolate.

I understand that you think Breitbart is manipulative but you really haven't offered any examples or any other type of evidence.

I've never seen an article on Breitbart claim "black is bad" or "immigrants are bad." They are critical of illegal immigration, since it's illegal.

They are pro-American, but so am I since I am American. What's wrong with thinking America is great?
Whatever action it is, it's triggered by your intention and your button press. You close a circuit for a very specific action and this tells a microcontroller to start counting a (random) number of seconds before initiating the exact action you intended. This is how all electronics work. In this case you don't start the device, you just start the electronic timer of the device.

At least start that timer the day before.

Maybe if your oven just turned itself on randomly and you quickly ran to put the pot in... It would probably be served a lot better by a digital assistant that you could tell to do things, as long as that's not considered a "slave".

This just feels like a "trick". As it stands today you turn on one device instead of another. And you certainly do the "work" part of the "you shall not do any work".
It’s interesting that your experience has focused on polynomial regression. My experience is that “nonlinear” regression more means adding interaction terms, testing for discontinuities, and allowing for partially pooled separate linear functions based on strata of the data, like hierarchical regression.

For anything truly needing to model nonlinearities in the manifold of the input data, I’d instead use tree based regression, SVM regression with an appropriate kernel, Gaussian Processes /krieging, etc. I’ve never experienced pragmatically useful results with polynomial regression that wouldn’t have been more easily obtained from more appropriate nonlinear models, and wasn’t aware anyone would ever actually try this in practice.
Representing research papers as vectors / latent representations
A few years ago I compiled it on my old Nokia N900 - not a microcontroller of course, but limited than my desktop computer. I was even able to host simple websites on it using Dragonfly Web Framework for newLISP (I'm one of the authors).
Exactly. The only way it seems to combat it is to block all calls that are not from numbers in my contact list. But then I end up with dozens of 2 second voicemails from random local numbers.

1. You generally require a charismatic, authoritarian leader who has strong central command over the group and whose word is law; tenets that actively lead the congregation to act against their best interests; and a dogmatic belief system with strict limits on interpretation of religious teachings (really just the first point again).

2. The classical definition of "cult" has almost no overlap with today's perjorative evolution of the word and just means a system of worship.
People will always interpret the words of their God to better fit their own needs. They're having a hard enough time as it is to keep people close to religion. This means artificially taking down some of the barriers that no longer fit in today's world view is a must.

I mean breaking this commandment in particular is punishable by death. So I guess there isn't much choice if the religion is to have any followers.

But I'm waiting for the first person that, after consulting with expert clergy, comes at the conclusion that all they did was press the trigger. The gun and projectile did the rest, with great assistance from the target who decided to be in the line of sight :).

I fly out of an airport that used to have a lot of trees along one side of the runway. It had both of the effects you mention, of moderating the wind but also causing turbulence. The problem isn’t just the ends, but also the top, as the wind curls over. Overall I think the benefit is fairly small, and you’re a lot better off building perpendicular runways if you can.

The patents disclose general categories of waveforms, but they leave out key details of exactly how the final results are achieved. Thus, the final waveform Performance is a combination of patent and trade secret.

Additionally, as others have posted, the waveforms vary for different panels, due to manufacturing variation, so reversing a single example won’t tell you much about how to drive a different panel.
