First off, fix your formatting. This is hard to read. You need two new lines to form one in HN, but it kinda looks like you already know that.

> Yes, with a half-time of 30 years.

Biological half lives tend to be A LOT shorter. It is something like 90 days in humans (for Cesium). There's also the uptake rate, which IIRC is about 10%.

> Nothing short of a nuclear reaction is going to "break them down", certainly not organisms or chemical reactions

Oh, sorry. I didn't realize that radiation means that electrons will no longer form bonds. That's really interesting. But I have a question. This being true, can you tell me how we get solids? Or are you saying that radioactive materials can only bind to other materials with similar radioactive properties? I can tell you that I never learned this in any of many physics classes nor while I was working as a radiation researcher. If this is a new study done by you I'm excited to see you win the Nobel. Really groundbreaking work.

> No, I did no such thing. I said that wild boar is contaminated worse as they keep eating mushrooms for years while each mushroom only has a couple of days to aggregate radioactive isotopes.

10% uptake, shorter biological half life. This isn't a system with positive feedback. The more degrees the more dilution. The Cs is in the ground, mushrooms eat that (1 degree), boars eat that (2 degrees), humans eat that (3 degrees). Minimum. We are assuming that the Cs is just laying nicely and not being diluted by worms and bugs before it is absorbed by the mushrooms.

> It wasn't "some article" I quoted, but the official information of the federal office for nuclear safety.

You're pulling from much more than that article. Your domain experts in this thread are breaking down that official information and explaining what things mean (note, neither of us have disputed it). For example, what is a Sievert? How dangerous is it? How much is safe? Can this be explained in a way without years of studying atomic physics and nuclear medicine?

What you're doing is reading that and saying "Look how dangerous this stuff is!" We're looking at it and saying "Ah cool, so as long as I don't eat 500 kilos of wild mushrooms in a year I'll be good". There's a big difference between these two points of view. But again, I'm not disputing what is in that documentation. I am drawing from it to demonstrate how safe things are.

The Toyota Prius is reckoned to be one of the cheapest cars to own and maintain:

Agree with this. I was up to my eyeballs in SDR stuff back when the RTL first came out. Wrote some plugins for SDRSharp doing little auto-tuners and lookups and whatnot, but then started digging into the actual DSP stuff and learned a TON in the process. It's also incredibly helpful to have expert folks around that can connect the dots for you when it gets weird.

The influence of superPAC's would not be present in politics. CU was often associated with the fear of corporate money, which hasn't come to pass, but the real result was the creation of a sort of private, shadow politics that has been facilitated by it. And that is in my opinion even more dangerous.

As a result you have families like the Mercer's influencing the entire political spectrum through side channels that are quite unprecedented in any modern democracy.
Yep! Either a key to our SaaS for non-profit analysts or a docker for commercial, which supports the kinds of requests you see here as they add up, esp when supporting bigger scales. We're launching additional accessible options, if relevant. We started in pretty deep gov/enterprise, so fun to finally be emerging for simpler stuff :)
A primary purpose of school is to learn and practice social norms and encourage conformity thereto. Taken from that lens, it is perhaps unsurprising that in China, a society moving towards an AI-surveilled and -managed future, such technology would be implemented in schooling as well; a graduating workforce already accustomed to wholesale observation will not complain about it elsewhere in their daily lives.

Could they at least run one regular (120v/15a) circuit + wall outlet to each parking spot? Is that too much to ask?

That's enough electricity to give every EV car an extra 60 miles of EV range overnight. And would be plenty for any other use (ebikes and the like)
At my current position, part of our hiring process is a "homework" piece where we give you a project that should take around 3 hours and review the result.

Surprisingly (to me), I was able to get permission to share feedback with candidates we reject. I only do this when people ask, but I take the time to summarize & sanitize the feedback from our internal reviewers and try to phrase everything very neutrally ("we thought that your decision to do X was not the best way to approach this" as opposed to "X was a terrible idea").

That said, I don't think I'd be able to get permission to give feedback on the interview parts of the process. That's a bit more subjective and it's _really_ easy for any sort of feedback there to become lawsuit fodder.
Something can be an opinion and a lie by definition.

Also, I don't care if I insult people by stating facts, including, "Your opinion is wrong/a lie." Getting upset about a fact is yelling at a cloud.

And why is it obvious I care greatly about this matter? Because I've written less than a page's worth of content on the topic? Seems like a weirdly low bar...
Are you all being deliberately obtuse? Quoting myself:

I don't want them in my search results. I don't want them on my fora.

However, if you rudely shove them in my face in Google, HN, Reddit, etc., then please expect that if I read it (and I normally don't) then I will do so in such a way as to prevent you from monetizing your rude behavior.

Is that crystal fscking clear?
I'm like many of the others here. It's not just noticed when it inconveniences me. It also when I notice it does, or would, inconvenience other people too.
Good post. The third bullet point is accurate. But, maybe needlessly complicated... In short, the law is clear: Thou shalt not kill. If someone's life is in your hands, inaction -- such as not consenting to a feeding tube or repirator for your unconscious relative -- is ethically the same as actively killing them.

Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.
But the qualms come from relatives not wanting to be responsible for killing grandpa.
Seeing the callout to Xenoblade's music drew me back to listening to that soundtrack again... whence I stumbled upon 8-bit Music Theory's channel, and analysis of Chrono Trigger's and FFVI's music... and that's to say nothing of Secret of Mana or a half-dozen other incredible JRPG soundtracks.

I'm probably weird, but the music, more than just about anything, is what brings me back to these JRPG games again and again. The mechanics may be clunky, the sound systems primitive, but those peculiar fusions of Western and Japanese musical sensibilities, played out over fantasy after fantasy, are timeless.
I’m not sure you need another app for that. Both people would need to sign up just for this one-off task. Usually if you take over a flat the previous owner will just ask you if you want to take over x or y in my experience. Also from my experience there’s a pretty good market in Facebook groups or classifieds for these things in university cities as it happens all the time. When I wanted to get rid of some item I just snapped a picture, out it on eBay classifieds and 1h later someone would come and take some table, chair, sofa...and leave. That seems like a solved problem already.
Thanks for the kind words!

Correct, the initial compiler is built using the C# interpreter; the compiler can then be used to compile the next version of itself. Bugs and backwards incompatible language changes can be a problem though. For that reason, it's a good idea to keep the C# interpreter updated so there's always a safe path to bootstrap from.

Variable redeclarations may be useful in certain scenarios, e.g. redeclaring a variable of type Maybe<T> as T. You're right that serialization may be better implemented as a library using some kind of reflection capability, this needs some more thought. I haven't yet thought about the specifics of build tools, but I very much want to make it easy for people to write tools, and offering the compiler as a library will be part of that.

I started with the initial idea for Muon late 2017/early 2018. Initially, the plan was to create a higher level language (more like C#), but the more I iterated the more I realized that low-level was the way to go. Muon is my first large language project, though I've always been interested in compilers and have written some toy languages in the past.
I had to do a double-take when the he said the paste cost "740". I don't know much about thermal paste so I could've believed it was dollars if it was really something special. But then I noticed the "Rs." beneath the image.

I moved from 2x 23" 1080p monitors to a 32" 4k monitor with 100% scaling, and vastly prefer the 4k monitor. I have effectively quadruple the screen space, but with the option of extra vertical real estate without the visual barriers of bezels.

On my laptop I'm stuck with a 1080p screen, but I run i3wm which significantly improves the experience by maximizing my usable space on one screen with easily switchable workspaces.
The electric trim adjustment is obviously going to be more powerful, that's just the reality of large planes. That's not the issue.

The issue from the Ethiopian crash was that, in the extreme trim angle, there was simply too much force on the screw to turn manually. This condition is trained for, and the solution is to let the plan angle down to relieve the aerodynamic pressure on the control surface. That gives you an opportunity to manually control the trim wheels.

The pilots did not have the benefit of altitude to perform this maneuver, so (likely) instead re-enabled the electric trim in a bid to use it to reduce the nose-down trim before the MCAS would re-engage. This proved fatal.
Given the structure for how cities go bankrupt now from public works projects, conversations should be started now for what makes a city insolvent.

Otherwise, last-ditch efforts to save doomed cities will destroy the resources needed for their inhabitants inevitable refugees. Especially given current waves of populism-driven, science-be-damned politicking.

The article mentions object-oriented programming several times as a helpful paradigm (especially for domain-constrained problems where DDD is helpful).

I’d also like to point out that functional programming is tremendously helpful for solving these types of problems, especially when combined with use of modules. TypeScript is absolutely capable of modeling, checking, and otherwise handling types in a functional programming context.
— this is one of its best strengths in my opinion, and one reason I now prefer TypeScript over C#.
Reduce quantity too.
That is exactly the problem I was addressing, which is that the reason monopoly looks good is because the current systems we're looking are so entrenched and require DRM, which is a tool that actively and deliberately prevents platforms from innovating. Following this, it's no surprise that Netflix and Amazon are turning to making their own films, and that Origin only exists because Steam's monopoly means that EA couldn't negotiate acceptable licensing terms with Valve. Get rid of the DRM and there is plenty of reason to compete in ways that help customers. Then give them a way to easily transfer ownership between supporting platforms and everybody wins.
Apart from what you're not looking for, your question is very light on details.

There are numerous cars from about a decade (+/-) ago, that would satisfy these requirements broadly. However, you don't say whether you're looking for an SUV, sedan, runabout, etc.

Price range, brand preference, location also play a role.
>I wouldn't just tell them to fuck off but call LE on them

Seems reasonable enough to me. The crazy thing is that we live in a world where this is necessary, not that this is what they did. Especially given that it was only done in the time and place surrounding an isolated, and very important, event.
I'm still angry that internal politicking at Nokia killed Meego. The N9, in 2011, seriously felt like a phone that had arrived from the future, or another timeline where everything is more elegant than in ours. Nokia simply should not have been able to come up with a phone with such polished user experience. But they did, and then they threw it away and instead bet on a completely wrong horse.
You can do tsc -> esnext syntax -> Babel -> whatever, though it's a pain to set up.

I do agree on the extra stuff beyond types (enums, etc) being a mistake that Typescript would be better off deprecating at some point.

>Get rid of CAPS LOCK! It’s a useless key.

The ESC key on the MacBook touch bar gives no tactile feedback. Since I'm using the Esc key for Vim command mode quite a lot I've assigned Esc to Caps Lock. Changing modifier keys on macOS is actually easy. Unfortunately it's not that easy on Android devices (without root) where I use Termux terminal emulator and my Microsoft foldable keyboard. With muscle memory I press the Caps Lock key now a lot.
Indeed. When we got them for the lab I was working in, this was a feature that blew my mind.

The segregation and amplification of the server/client roles is what makes me connect it to modern cloud computing. Your local device capabilities (speed and space) isn't nearly as important as long as it has a capable Presentation Layer and a network route.
I would disagree - to give an electronics example, this level of work is done all the time at large scale on PCB manufacturers with solder mask, solder paste, silk screens, etc.

Print shops can do this kind of work, too (precise amounts, sub-millimeter accuracy, irregular surfaces, almost any kind of coating, etc.).
Very unlikely. If you can convince them of a repair, they’ll want to use their own supplies.

This reminds of Canadian CBC National investigation into how instead of identifying problems, Apple was caught misdiagnosing and pushing purchasing new products.

I don’t know if you’d have to pay, I suspect you would, but an independent repair shop is likely going to care more about you and your nuanced issue.

My experience is exactly the opposite of yours.

Babel has always caused me headaches. Setting up Babel-based build systems is troubling—the same setup will work sometimes and not others even on the same machine. TypeScript vastly simplified working with modern JS for me. It’s consistent, requires far fewer dependencies, and is much more succinct.

YMMV, of course...

Well in a sense yes. The distance between the two protons decreases at almost exactly twice the speed of light, as seen from the rest-frame of the detector. That's not a violation of relativity as there is no physical object or information moving that fast. And of course either proton sees the other approaching at just a little less than c

It looks like that's missing data - including some very big ones. https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker has quite a few stars and came out in 2018 - no mention. All three of them have contributed to the Linux kernel in significant fashions, and it's not listed for any of them, despite the 72k stars.

And are github repos and stars the only way to measure open source contribution? The Xen project only has 162 stars, yet I don't think anyone would say it isn't an important project, and it's one Amazon has contributed to - if you're using a PV guest on Xen that's protected against Meltdown, chances are high you're using the Vixen mitigation that Amazon released.

Could Amazon do more? Probably. I'm not trying to say they're perfect. But this idea that they don't contribute back to open source seems pretty flawed, even by the data in your link, which seems incomplete.
That is an utterly vapid statement format that states only ones own sense of superiority with nothing about any actual merits.

It brings to mind a smug inuit saying "Imagine being so addicted to eating plants from the ground that they you think you can't survive without it!"

Um, if you read my entire posting I made it fairly clear I think it's awesome that we can use market forces to handle food distribution.

Maybe I was too obscure. The point I wanted to express was that the current species that are mainstream for food production are there for many reasons, including the fact, that it's easier to optimize food production business from the point of view of distributors if the number of species used is small.

Hence if there is an odd plant that is used only regionally, it does not mean it could not become a staple - just that it's not currently staple, and not necessarily for any inherent quality of plant itself.
Hmmm, interesting. Colour me convinced.
All it needs to be is smoke and mirrors, with a bit of human oversight to give it credibility. Even if it only has a 50% accuracy, an administrator can review the flags and take action, discouraging that activity for everyone.

The same applies for identifying dissidents.
This is exactly what those dumb interview tricks are like.
Then they tend to clump in groups and take the whole sidewalk and won't move over to let you pass, even if you're walking in the opposite direction.

I think there should be a painted line, like they do have in some high-traffic areas in Asia, to show where the "opposite lane" is.

Of course, the other thing that really irritates me is when I'm moving in one direction along with everyone else who is also keeping to the right (replace with left if you're reading this from a "keep left" country), and encounter someone head-on, going the completely wrong way counter to the flow. I usually gesture to such people by pointing left, and refuse to let them pass on my right.

Fortunately people are mostly a bit more organised when they're driving...
Sorry, you can't have it both ways. Opinions are opinions: nobody knows for sure which ones are right or wrong. IMO you should retract your accusation of "lie" since you have admitted you were just stating your opinion. Your opinion might not agree with someone else's opinion, but that doesn't justify you accusing them of lying.
There's such thing as clickable thumbnails, as you may have heard.
Not only is Lisp not on its own, with these issues, it shares them with numerous technologies that are now mainstream. I.e. Lisp is not different.

The "Lisp is different" meme is dead. Or, rather, it has atrophied down to a syntactic concern that persists in some imbecillic quarters. Lisp is different because there are no infix operators, commas are gone, and the brackets are on the wrong side of the operator name. Other than that, it has straightforward pass-by value parameters, straightforward scoping, and straightforward evaluation. Someone switching from C to Lisp doesn't have to hugely readjust their model of the computation. Just more kinds of values have to be imagined as being malloced, and as being pointers. Other than that, values are machine words being passed around in registers, on stacks and so forth: good old Von Neumann chugging away.

The "garbage collection is slow and weird, and local variables should die when the block terminates" crowd has pretty much retired; when not gardening or flying kites, they are puttering around with their Pascal, Algol or IBM 360 assembler or whatever.

I don't know if what you've described is an _opposite_ experience. I think TypeScript would work fine for me too if I never needed anything compilation-wise outside of what tsc is already capable of. But as soon as you do, the lack of extensibility of tsc compared to babel becomes painfully obvious.
