>but I don't think it's an appropriate way measuring impact.

Yours isn't a better way to look at it. But here's another way: nuclear power is the only power source that can replace fossil-based power generation (outside of geothermal and hydro)
You are liking it wrong :)
The figures in the article are already specified per watt-hour. So expanding to 100% of power generation would not change the conclusion. Even if we had a chernobyl every 2.5 years, that could still add up to a better safety rate than other energy sources.
Not that I condone this strategy, but what is the threat model where an impersonator knows to say, "It's to be repeated exactly, and then adso&#fjsou..."?
I don't use the function keys much, so yes, i do look at the keyboard when using them.
I have a 2013 15" MBP, a 2015 13" MBP, a 2016 15" MBP w/ Touchbar, and a 2017 15" MBP w/ Touchbar. I vastly prefer the 2013 and 2015, even though they are bare-bones specced and the newer MBPs are top-of-the-line. The touchbar MBPs are provided to me by my employer. I just bought my 2015 13" this year, after considering getting a newer model, and I'm planning for it to be my main personal laptop for years to come.

I don't like the touchbar, I don't like the new keyboard, and I don't like the new ports.

I think there is something wrong if, now two years later, there are still people like me who not only don't see a clear benefit to upgrading, but see it as a net-negative.

Ideally, there should be nearly no one (if anyone) who prefers the previous iteration.
I've always really enjoyed the #LightTheWorld campaign, which puts the focus on service and helping others. This year it starts with a worldwide day of service on Dec 1, spends a week on serving the world, then a week on community, then family, then faith. It's an awesome way to get my kids involved in the Christmas spirit and thinking beyond themselves.

Here's a calendar download with activities/ideas (PDF): https://www.mormon.org/bc/content/assets/pdf/christmas2018/C...

And there will be videos will be coming out on http://www.lighttheworld.org, if it's the same as years past.

In general, I feel that if I can teach my kids to look for ways to serve and benefit others, then we're really getting at the core of why Christmas exists, and the core of who we are celebrating.
In his defense, there is a real problem with people running code analysis tools and assuming the results to be correct. It can be difficult to deal with a constant barrage of incorrect "security findings".

It still doesn't excuse some of the things said in that post, though, of course.

Solar and wind might surprise you. Anytime you're working on a rooftop or on a tower, your risk of falling to your death is not zero.

Hydro is in a special case too, because a sudden dam collapse could kill thousands of people in the blink of an eye. Johnstown Flood Disaster comes to mind. Whether you blame the collapse on the hydropower is another question.

Call me a crackpot, but I believe geothermal may be worse than the rest put together. By leaching the heat the earth needs to "lubricate" its plate tectonics, I think you might be delaying, amplifying, and shifting the focus of the earthquakes. I think our overdue Hayward earthquake is being influenced by the GWh of heat energy taken out at Salton Trough and the Geysers. Force is building up like in an engine you let the oil out of. I theorize we're about to find out what the Earth-scale equivalent of throwing a rod is.

ElixirConf 2018: Thoughts on Elixir from a Ruby Developer
Yeah, obviously we're struggling here a bit, which means there's some way to get this across better.

> From context I think that means the set of features that are part of Rust 2018 and also existed on its release day?

The "also existed on its release day" is redundant; they have to be in place on release day. If they weren't, then they'd be breaking.
I've heard about this guy before. Reading a few of his posts in the second link (particularly the one about children), it seems like he was a deeply unhappy individual. Rants and anger can be fun, but wallow in them too long and it begins to feel like there's nothing else.

He was clearly a very talented programmer though, and as someone who reads and writes Go regularly I have a lot to thank him for.

Is your furnace high efficiency? Older models take in air from the house and then blow it out the chimney, but it's different in newer systems. The intake/exhaust are both pressurized and at least exit outside the house (in most setups they pull and exit outside, but I have seen where the intake is inside). The cold air return is usually in the basement and then just blows hot around your house. And yes, the air does get stale in winter.
Beryllium is needed for neutron multiplication. The 5th neutron in 9Be is the most weakly bound neutron in any stable isotope, with a binding energy of just 1.6 MeV.

It might be possible to use lead for neutron multiplication (it has a nice high cross section for (n,2n) reactions above 8 MeV), but it would not moderate the neutrons much, and 6Li breeds best off thermal neutrons. So the blanket and reactor would have to be bigger.
It was indeed an SRE question. Followed by a series of algorithmic complexity questions which I happened to get correct based on barely-informed guessing, having never taken an algorithms class.
You should snag an app called BetterTouchTool. Makes the TouchBar an amazing addition to the laptop. It's just a shame that Apple didn't build in a tool like it but I hope the developer gets lots of love.
I assume that PR means proportional representation. Instant runoff voting does not necessitate proportional representation. You can have an instant-runoff vote to elect a single MP for your constituency. All you do is rank the candidates in order of preference rather than picking just one of them.

This is not at all certain. There are ways of loosening regulations while not making them less safe. Even if there weren't, it is not guaranteed that having less safe regulations would result in less safe nuclear plants. Even if the nuclear plants were less safe[1], there is no guarantee that would result in more incidents.

Edit [1]: meaning they operate under less stringent safety standards and procedures, not a comment on the outcomes
I don't think it's true that XML - in itself - makes serializing data structures very simple. An easy to use XML library might. But that library could use any structured data file format at all, and still make serializing data structures very simple.
Sure. Here's two helpful sources:

They did not include any numbers on wind, solar, hydro, tide, ... renewable energy; limiting the comparison to "the dominant" energy sources what they call "all major energy sources" shows how narrow the researchers' plate is.

World hydro power generation has already a greater percentage than nuclear fission, not in the U.S. though.. Add other renewable resources and all renewable surpass gas. Oil plays almost no role in energy generation.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation#Methods...
I have to second this, I do not understand why XML receives so much hate. Sure it is verbose und editing it without, at the very least, good syntax highlighting can be a bit of a pain. And namespaces. But just use a good XML editor and the pain is gone. And in return you get a mature and powerful ecosystem where communicating data formats and validating data with XSDs or transforming data with XSLTs is done easily. And you have to write almost no code if your language has a decent XML library. Serialization and deserialization is usually easy and there are tools for generating matching classes for your schemas. I am not really following the development of other serialization formats like JSON, but as far as I can tell at least the JSON ecosystem is essentially coming up with analog ideas like JSON schema to solve the same problems that XML has already solved.
Hopefully it'd be faster. YouCompleteMe is painfully slow, even after some effort to tweak it.
To add context:

* The VC has already invested in our co.
* A term sheet has been put forward for acquisition of our co.
* They want a fee to help close the sale but it is a % rather than a $ sum.
* VC have been good to date, no complaints.
* I have also invested small amounts in co's I am passionate about. Always helping with intro's / tech advise within my area of expertise, often putting in many days of work. I do this because I like the founders, am passionate, curious about their product and always end up learning lots this way. I would never dream of asking for payment unless hit with a direct expense, expecting any payback to come at liquidity and a hopefully good feedback if anyone else asks about me.

Still trying to guage if my personal code working with startups is out of line with industry in general. I don't have significant VC experience and appreciate that there is some value add here.

I do agree it seems like a bad idea to leach heat from the inner surface of earth in large quantities. I actually feel the same way about wind as well (a bad idea to take enormous amounts of energy out of the weather system before understanding it).
You are basing this view on absolutely no information.
And thus more questions. One of the axioms I struggle with in these sorts of discussions is the idea of Truth, or ground truth, or absolute truth: this idea that there is some complete representation of reality that possesses is-ness (it exists and we perceive only a small piece of it).

If we assume there is a ground truth (as an axiom, inductively suggested by persistent results from physical experimentation), then we still can say nothing of the God that created it (this, all of this expansive and perplexing existence). In fact, science as it stands cannot answer questions that we cannot test.

How do you test for the existence of a being that is not a part of what we live in? Even if the God overlaps with our existence (a core tradition of Christianity being omnipresence) what test can we leverage to show He is here?

All of this leads to the dispersed opinions of many, many people. We have supposed two things so far: there is a God, and there is some absolute representation of our universe (above I called it existence).

Given ground truth, how might we approach the texts that are said to explain God? As a society (my guess is many people do this) we tend to overlay what we "know" onto things we don't understand.

For example, in Genesis we have words like erev and boker which are translated consistently as "morning" and "evening". But its ancient Hebrew, we don't actually have the meaning as it was intended. We have lost the societal context that informed the deeper meanings of those words. So we guess. We think they mean morning and evening. But that's at best ambiguous.

They could mean "order" and "disorder", as they are used in other contexts to mean that.

I'm sure I could meander about and come up with a logically sound chain of interpretations, but I only left this here to illustrate just how difficult the interpretation of simple things can be.

Not sure if you are aware of this, but you have to have your TV shows separate from your movies in Plex. When Plex scans files, it uses different logic for TV show and movie file name. I had a similar problem where I imported my TV shows as movies... some worked, but most didn't. After moving my shows out of my movies directory and re-importing them specifically as tv shows, everything detected perfectly.

My experience is that humans have an uncanny propensity to adjust to an exceedingly wide range of circumstances in a way that boils whatever's going on around them to a status quo; a behavioral homeostasis if you will.

Introduce a new boon to someones life, and in time their mind tends to take it in stride and it becomes harder to register that the boon is still present. The same happens with pitfalls. After a period, the initial shock goes away and we subconsciously deal with the added negative aspect of our life.

One's overall outlook on life at any given point, then, requires an effort to recognize the good things around them, and attempt to tune out the negatives. How easy that is for any given individual varies. Some have naturally sunny dispositions, while others are born curmudgeons.

At least this is what I have observed.
Doesn't change the picture. Hydro is surprisingly dangerous, in fact the single largest disaster involving an energy source was a dam that burst in China, killing 171,000 people.

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

Overview :

Energy Source Mortality Rate (deaths/trillionkWhr)

Coal – global average 100,000 (41% global electricity)

Coal – China 170,000 (75% China’s electricity)

Coal – U.S. 10,000 (32% U.S. electricity)

Oil 36,000 (33% of energy, 8% of electricity)

Natural Gas 4,000 (22% global electricity)

Biofuel/Biomass 24,000 (21% global energy)

Solar (rooftop) 440 (< 1% global electricity)

Wind 150 (2% global electricity)

Hydro – global average 1,400 (16% global electricity)

Hydro – U.S. 5 (6% U.S. electricity)

Nuclear – global average 90 (11% global electricity w/Chern&Fukush)

Nuclear – U.S. 0.1 (19% U.S. electricity)

> You do realize the whole concept of a startup is about raising money because you know you can’t both grow fast enough to conquer a new market while at the same time making profits ?

But undoubtedly a start-up during that phase also benefits from public education and roads, from state-subsidized internet and transport, from security provided by the police force etc and hence should also pay its fair share towards those costs?
Any idea how the compute of a m5a.large would compare to a c5.large? They are almost identical in price, but the m5a instances have double the memory.
You can install it, use it, benchmark it, and check everything yourself.

It's not open-source, but there is plenty of closed-source proprietary software, and plenty of buyers who care about solving their problems and paying money to get that done (and ensure the vendor stays alive).

If you don't want to use a closed-source product then that's your prerogative, but I don't see how you're making a dev/engineering decision by ignoring a product because of that.

One thing it brings to mind is this old argument: a configuration language is just a scripting language where you can't do anything useful to decrease repetition. (Or: Lisp programs don't contain config parsers.)

Instead of a "stupid" fixed set of declarative configuration options, just expose your program's high level abstractions as a set of macros and functions, and then let the user "configure" the program by just... writing a program, which uses those high-level macros and functions to do what they want.
Dennis Ritchie, in his ‘noalias must go’ essay, described that proposal as “a license for the compiler to undertake aggressive optimizations that are completely legal by the committee's rules, but make hash of apparently safe programs.”

(That he did not write something similar about ‘undefined behavior’ makes it clear that no one at the time intended or even guessed at the mess it would make of the language.)

Choosing the suburbs of Dallas a city which "has a population from a myriad of ethnic and religious backgrounds and the sixth-largest LGBT population in the United States."

Outside of very high state taxes, most of the other issues seem to stem mostly from excessively high real estate prices. In Texas the lack of mountains, oceans and rivers means expansion in all direction keeps new development cheap and homeownership affordable - not any specific policies.

Secondly, Dallas has some serious air quality problems that I hope reverse soon due to lax state level pollution policies. (https://www.dallasnews.com/business/energy/2017/06/22/michae...)
It means that a data structure is an object which supports a very limited range of algebraic operations. E.g. for a stack, you just have push and pop. That's the whole set of actions for that data structure. You could argue that it constitutes a tiny self-contained language within any host language that supports the data structure.
So, amongst other things, it could refer to salary and raise confidentiality agreements as a way to reduce employee negotiating power?
The Banqiao dam failure alone is enough to drag hydro quite far up the list. Even excluding it, other disasters add up to worse outcomes than nuclear. Hydro plants apart from being an environmental disaster suffers from creating all kinds of hazards downstream if not maintained regularly. When they are, they're mostly ok, until they're not - consider e g.the Mosul dam in Iraq where lack of maintenance has significantly increased the risk to a couple of million people.
Ooh, THIS one reuses sharps and passes the savings on to me!

They have to breed tritium if they are to run the reactor for any significant length of time. Buying tritium externally would be very expensive -- it's $100M/kg and up, particularly if you exhaust sources like incidental production in commercial heavy water reactors.

DT fusion has the nasty circular dependency that breeding blankets are needed to make tritium, but they cannot be tested without working high intensity DT fusion neutron sources.

There are exceptions (e.g. in Italy you only get refunded for 50% of the VAT you pay when buying phones, or 40% the VAT you pay when buying cars), but they are pretty much that, exceptions.

If operating domestically you will usually get more VAT money from customers than you will give to suppliers, so you will pay the difference to the state. If for any reason you pay more to suppliers than you get from customers, the difference becomes a tax credit that you can carry to the following accounting period or deduce from some other tax.
