It’s usually more fruitful to look for individual incentives rather than organizational motives. The individual incentives are clear — the professor gets publicity and name recognition, the administrator gets to inflate their staff and budget, and the trustees who approve the (small) budget get to brand themselves as generous and community-minded.
I use my Pebble Time Steel every day and will continue to use it until it dies. I tried a few different smartwatches and, for me, nothing comes close to the battery life, always-on display and hardware buttons combo.

For my purposes, it is a productivity boost to have calendar, slack etc. notifications and be able to mute everything by holding a button.
Renewables total cost of ownership is significantly lower. Nuclear is not required anymore.
Most people also use the word capitalism incorrectly. The capitalism-socialism dichotomy is largely an invention of Marxists. Many who oppose socialism do so because they prefer a society where individual justice is not overshadowed by "collective justice".

The idea is that people are expected to work for their benefits, save up money to form capital and then invest that capital to create a safety net for themselves. Most people on the conservative side are not opposed to helping people who can't help themselves or giving people who did their best but fell on hard times, a break, through bankruptcy.

If a country has a large amount of natural resources like Norway, it can be somewhat successful in dispensing with individual excellence. For example, Qatar has the highest per capita income in the world. However, this may not be sustainable since natural resource eventually run out. For example : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Nauru#Modern-day_Na...

Norway used its oil profits to create a sovereign wealth fund and invested it in stocks. What is the system called when dispensable income is used to form capital which is then invested in other ventures to create additional revenue streams ? I would call it capitalism.

If all countries where Norwegian money is invested decided to become socialist and seized their property, Norway will not be upheld as a socialist success, would it ?
Also the generators were originally situated in a raised location but had been moved to the ground level after their installation. If the generators had not been moved they would have functioned through the tsunami.

It pains me to see pages like this. Someone has spent ages making this long list by hand, then it's put up as a long blog post. No way to filter by anything .... can we have it as machine workable Open Data please!

Also, think about ways to allow other people to contribute to the list so that the work of keeping it up to date is shared out and not on just a few people.
Do you stay productive with pressure though? I can work insane amounts of time (relative to what I usually do) and be very productive when everything is on fire, but if everything is on fire for a month or more, I doubt that I'll still have the same feeling of immediacy that I'll have on the first day.
Slower refueling on road trips only, not when near home.

The best part is when not on road trips, just charge at home and never visit a gas station.

And no alternators, starter motors, fuel pumps, carburetors, oil, etc., etc, etc.

Expensive? Not so much when you consider all the extra constant maintenance costs of an ICE car.

Everything needing to become a unicorn today is killing a ton of good products and services. It's apparently impossible to just be a successful small business for a few decades in the tech industry.
Germany already spent more on renewable than the total French nuclear industry

Source? What does that even mean? Where'd you find an honest assessment of the regulatory and construction costs for France's nuclear power plants, much less a sensible estimate for decommissioning plants that are still running? Does it include research and development in either case? Does it include maintenance, personnel, fuel, cleanup, storage of spent fuel both temporarily and long term?
Thanks, I never came across that.
What was the advantage of these over doing the same with Linux and PC hardware? The Sun Ray looked slick but like everything Sun made was ridiculously overpriced and slower than commodity PC gear.

For any place with a reasonably competent hiring process, you won't get offered a job solely based on your resume. But you might not progress to next stage in application process if your resume indicates there is no chance that you are a strong fit for the role (e.g. in extreme cases, application for a dev role with no evidence of relevant work experience or study or personal projects). Resume doesn't have to be great, just good enough.

I find it easier to recommend hiring fresh grads with no industry experience & brief CVs who perform very strongly at hands on programming interviews versus people with extensive experience who can speak eloquently about their past roles but do not perform that well when skills are directly measured in (admittedly, contrived and fairly artificial) interview setting.
>Renewable energy is cheaper than nuclear, or will be imminently.

Solar and wind are plenty cheap. That's not their problem. The problem, as the article stated, is that "they are not available around the clock, rain or shine, and batteries that could power entire cities for days or weeks show no sign of materializing any time soon."

So now what do you do?

I am not advocating for building more CNPP - like plants. Those reactors are obsolete. There are much, much safer options now ( such as generation 3 reactors in US).

However, even those older designes are statistically much safer than coal - how many people died just in coal mines colapses?
Thank you for this. There's a bunch of us who, once in a while, think of finally putting up that simple website or blog, with a minimalist touch.

This kind of initiatives helps to at least get to the next hurdle.
Idk that puts it too close to Prius territory for me. I’d expect the mileage to be a lot higher!
>It makes absolutely no sense to start building nuclear now.

Imagine if the developed world invested in nuclear to the extent that France did in the 60s and 70s - how many trillions of tons of CO2 would NOT have been emitted into the atmosphere? You can talk about Republican denialism, but it is anti-nuke lobby that will be held responsible for climate change.

>by the time it is operational solar+storage will be even more economical than it is today.

Will it? Will the sun shine at night? when it's cloudy? No? Then it doesn't matter how cheap solar and wind are. You're not going to use either as a cornerstone of modern energy generation. So if not solar and wind, then what else is left? Germany knows - they are signing multi-decade deals for natural gas and coal-based power (from Russia and neighbors), as they are shutting down their nuclear plants.
You can get a software defined radio for around $25 (see rtl-sdr.com), allowing you to capture many kinds of radio signals (including FM radio, amateur radio etc). But I'm sure there are also dedicated FM radio usb dongles for much cheaper.

1. YubiKey's OATH application can be protected with a password. If you can't unlock the YubiKey with a password, you can't access any OTPs (or "OTPs" in exile, where they're being used as HMAC keys instead). (Granted, exile does not directly integrate with this yet, nor even mention it - thanks to you, I'll add it to the readme ASAP)

2. The YubiKey is an HSM, which means it can't be duplicated. As soon as you find your laptop/keychain stolen (which is much easier than detecting that the contents of your home directory have been copied) you can revoke the AWS API keys.

3. I consider a hack and theft of my home directory contents to be more likely than physical theft of my YubiKey (which I believe for most people is either permanently inserted into their laptop, or on a physical keychain). This risk calculus may be different for you.

4. As you point out, the attacker would need to know how to make use of this (as yet) fairly obscure use of the YubiKey.
Hi Everyone,

My name is Sam Samida-Pugh, and I am the CEO and Founder of Progressive Fusion Solutions (PFS), a fusion energy research company I started when I was 16. I've been operating PFS for 2 years now, and so far, our team has constructed 2 fusion reactors, raised $17k in funding, and presented our research at TRIUMF, Canadas National Lab for Particle Physics. Our fusion area of focus is that of the Polywell, a method of fusion which is commercially viable on a small, and inexpensive scale in relation to other fusion projects. We have 3 patents on the Polywell, and it is our goal to demonstrate energy extraction from one of our models by 2025. Currently, we are looking to raise $2 million to advance our company to its 3rd stage this year. If anyone is interested in learning more, or is aware of anyone who may be interested, then I kindly invite you to visit our website: https://www.progressivefusionsolution.com/, or send me an email through progressivefusionsolutions@gmail.com.

Cheers,
Sam
> stories about challenges will tell you more about person for hiring than just resume.

I agree, but if candidate pre prepares these stories they are likely to be able to frame the situation and their impact in a way that looks positive regardless of what the actual situation was. Process would select for people who can tell good stories, or pay copywriters to edit stories, rather than selecting people who are good at the role.

More information (from employer perspective) is gained by making this process interactive, at some cost of time and money to both parties.
Random people hate being watched, or at least they hate knowing they are being watched by another person.

That being said, like someone else mentioned, Glass and AR-type products are very successful as productivity boosters in people who assemble products. We use Pupil Labs' glasses at our business to do gaze tracking. There's a lot of good use cases for this technology, but it's not cheap and it's pretty specific at this time.
I happen to end up creating a lot of static web pages when building simple websites or documentation (for internal and external use) - is there a collection of lightweight CSS resources like this?

For example, some things I would want to be able to select/tweak:

* Colour scheme/theme

* Responsiveness to mobile devices (i.e. changing fonts/layout, etc)

* Navigation bar

* Transition effects

* Support for older browsers (but still look okay (yes this is still a requirement in 2019))

* Support for IE (which seems to be hilariously harder than it should be)

* Toggle/select use of fonts

If not then it might be useful to build out a tool to dynamically create such a thing.
We pair programmed more than 90% at my last job, and it was great. Together we would typically come up with architecture, design, tests and names which were better than either of us would have done on our own. It is hard work, but very rewarding, and it has many pitfalls and nuances which we tried to work out at our ~fortnightly review sessions.

More important than pair programming itself is the willingness to look at what works for the team and how you can improve the experience and productivity together. Most of the time we did traditional pairing, with two keyboards and mice on a dual-monitor PC, and simply signalled each other when we wanted to take over or cede control. Towards the end of the four years there we very successfully "mobbed" on some complex problems, and split up when we had worked out what to do next. We would typically work in different pairs every day, which resulted in everybody knowing the entire system to a similar degree — we didn't even need a handover when someone left, and onboarding basically meant that the more senior employee had to explain a bit more of the context while pairing with the new hire. I found it did wonders to my understanding of how other developers think and especially how to explain my thinking to someone else. But YMMV, and good luck!
I used to joke that Perl5 was the worst Lisp. I think the author is being jocose.
Can we just get something straight about the waste situation?

It's still not solved. As long as that is the case, I think nuclear energy is not an option.
It could absolutely get smaller in the next gen - I think to keep it cheap, relatively powerful and have acceptable battery life is the main reasons it’s as large as it is.
Atari ST was crushing Amiga for years until Commodore got their stuff together and bifurcated the product line into the Amiga 2000 and Amiga 500 while also getting good games on the system - plus the Video Toaster and other accessories to finally take advantage of the multimedia superiority of the platform.

It didn't really matter in either case since IBM and its clones were destroying both of them with Macintosh stealing the non-IBM market share all the same.
Is storage a solved problem yet? Afaik, dams are the only viable option, and not universally available.

I thought batteries just weren't there yet. Especially if you take wear cycles into account.

The question is What is the fastest way?, not what is possible in the future. People disagreeing in this thread fail to address the reasons stated in the article why renewables alone are not complete solution and why nuclear is good choice to compensate.

Germans made attempt to increase renewables only but ended up increasing coal use because rationing electricity was not an politically feasible option when renewable electricity production was low.

Without nuclear energy you can increase renewable usage up to 50% economically if you build better grid and add some overcapacity and recharge car batteries at night, but you must fire up coal or natural gas electricity plants for the nighttimes and exceptionally cold or hot time periods.

If you build nuclear plants they will not throttle down for days or when renewable energy is plenty and electricity price goes negative. This decreases the profitability of both renewables and nuclear.

In some time in future, it's possible to go full renewables but you need very robust smart grid, large scale energy storage (not lithium-ion) etc. That's possible but it's not the fastest way. Building more nuclear power is the fastest way to drive down CO2 in addition with renewables.

>but that's exactly what nuclear energy proponents said in the 70s.

And how many plants failed that were built after the 70s?

>The consequences of a disaster are too great

Even with the disasters, it kills fewer people than coal even without taking into account the damage from global warming.

It’s like refusing to fly because plane crashes stick out in memory and then choosing to drive instead, despite how much more unsafe it is.

Norway is not socialist in the "means of production" sense. The means of production, be it machinery or brains, are privately owned. The government owns assets that are exploited in this production - primarily, the oil fields - but not means of production.
Hear One earbuds. Fantastic sounding, weighed only 14g and the noise canceling and filtering really, really worked.
Perhaps I should clarify that I was referring to OS/MVS JCL. MVT was before my time. By "environment variables" I meant the ability to tie a logical device name (at the program level) to a physical device (or instance thereof, like a particular generation of a tape volume), like how environment variables link a logical name to a value.

I used to do all the JCL for my project group. Having come from being an operator first, I knew how to set up the JCL exactly how I wanted (including comments for instructions to / clarifications for operators and job control center staff) and syntax-test it. Meanwhile, the other groups stumbled through either hand-keypunching or laboriously filling out keypunch sheets. Many didn't even know we had a JES2 spooled card punch available before I came in.
Yes that is what I like to see - no classes! So long as one structures the content then it looks good. Or at least not 'unstyled'.

Tacit is behind the times when it comes to CSS Grid, I don't see the point in jiggling with floats, again it is one of those things that constrains how you think. With CSS Grid you can write content in a natural order and then position blocks of it according to design and, with a few CSS variables get it working in all viewports.

Interesting that tacit does not show default styles with structural elements. Maybe the HTML5 spec has been worked through rather than the starting point assumed to be structured content.

I can remember the days of Microsoft Word when some people would use templates and styles. Some people just did not get it and would make a title a title by hitting the 'bold' button and pushing the font size up, maybe using blank lines for spacing. I feel that the web is full of people who never understood styles in Word and didn't have a clue as to why you might need them.
Are they doing it for free though? To me it seem like they may be building for the future of learning, and getting paid at least something (certificates) to do it.

I work as an external examiner for CS students in Denmark, and I’ve seen nothing here that rivals the automated grading systems applied by Harvard and MIT on places like EDX. Harvard even build an entirely cloud based IDE to get students easy access to development environment from a browser during introduction courses.

I took a few of those courses to see what they are like, and the truth is, the MIT intro courses to computation are actually a lot better than the CS intro courses I took at Aalborg University two decades ago. Sure it’s been two decades, and I didn’t need to learn anything for the first time. The course content was roughly the same as it was back then though, it’s just explained so much better by the MIT lecturers and their automattic finger exercises.

Right now that’s not a threat to universities who aren’t doing this, because a degree is worth something and a few certificates are worth very little. But if that changes, then I see trouble on the horizon for universities that didn’t prepare for a world where they might have to compete online. On top of that, there is incentive for the individual professors, in at least one of the courses I went through, the accompanying book was authored by the professor who taught the course.

I guess there is a high probability that things won’t change of course. Too many MOOC are extremely poor quality, some sites like Udemy even consists entirely of amateurs, and it’s too easy to cheat. But if things do move toward universities teaching online, then we wouldn’t really need thousands of places to teach introduction to CS, would we?
sorry, which news reader are you using?

"magine if the developed world invested in nuclear to the extent that France did in the 60s and 70s - how many trillions of tons of CO2 would NOT have been emitted into the atmosphere? "

I think OPs point is essentially that, even if nuclear would have helped in the 70s, it is now too late.

As for the intermittent issues of power. I think there's a lot to gain from long distance transportation combined with reliable output like hydro, existing nuclear, and perhaps later tidal.
