Like saying "Manchuria was part of Japan Empire before breaking away with help of Stalin".
But since we lack an individually actionable way of making the police better, doesn't the argument reduce to "we should not help the police as they are now"?
Hastelloy N will not be used by any of the companies building commercial reactor. Hastelloy N would have to go threw a whole lot of regulation to allowed to use in modern reactor.

The data gathered on its properties would not be sufficient for a modern regulator, and such a qualification would take way to long. Also, there is not really a supplier for commercial Hastelloy N.

Their focus is on using 'regular' nuclear grade materials that have already been approved. This is THE single most important focus of those reactor design. In the choice of containment, reactor type, salt solution and so on, they all picked sub-optimal things in order to make it threw the regulator and have a existing supply chain.
This.... is one way to do it, but it’s got nothing to do with the list you provided. Don’t confuse “oils, animal fats” with things like a fast food meal.

I am not confused. Fast food is bad because it contains excess amounts of oils and animal fats and a lot many other things.

Oils are bad. They are especially bad after heat is applied to them.
There are not too many dynamically typed languages that truly allow you not to miss static typing. One of them is Clojure. I can't explain exactly how, but somehow I think Clojure is fine without them. I don't think I can say the same thing about JS, Lua, Python or Ruby.

I'm curious about the monoculture point. I reflexively disagreed with your parent post when they said it but now that someone else has agreed I'm second guessing.

Where is your line for where a culture starts and stops? Do we really need to be managing some kind of clash/conflict between the Greek suburbs or communities of Melbourne and the Lebanese, Hispanic or Italian ones for their cultures to be considered different?

Because they drive on the left and follow Australian laws have the Chinese population in Sunnybank abandoned their culture because they aren't clashing with the Anglo-australian population?

These communities are speaking their own languages, importing/selling their own ingredients and products, cooking their own foods, watching their own style of entertainment, practicing their own religions, socialising at unique times and locations, listening to their own music and raising their children in a style informed by their community's historical norms.

If you (and GP) formed your opinions outside of the major eastern cities, or haven't really ventured into the outer suburbs I could see how you could arrive at monoculture, but otherwise I think by requiring a "clash" you may be setting too high a bar for your definition of culture.

If you visit Oakleigh (I think Melbourne is still the city with the highest concentration of Greek people outside of Greece) and see the same culture that you see in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, which has the same culture that you see in Mareeba I'd be very interested in hearing more.
This is only somewhat related, but does someone know a resource that describes what happened to the continental financial/currency systems when a ship with gold on board sunk and couldn't be recovered?

That being said I do have an uncle with Parkison who had a neurostimulator implanted (DBS) 15 years ago. It worked quite well for a while, more than any medication at the time. It doesn't anymore, and he has lost cognitive abilities also, which is most likely due to the progressive nature of the disease, rather than DBS.

Climate Change Poses Major Risks to Financial Markets, Regulator Warns
> Especially at elite universities, there is this interesting phenomenon of mostly upper middle class white women from on average the most privileged upbringings in the western hemisphere arriving at a university they (anyone) could only attend by incredible privilege and luck. Yet they arrive fully convinced they have been held back by the patriarchy their entire lives. Same for other groups and their pet causes.

This does not have to be a contradiction.

1. If you come from a wealthy family, attending a prestigious university might be par for the course instead of an incredible privilege; you can still be "held back by the patriarchy" (no sarcasm intended). The two things can work in orthogonal ways.

2. They might realize they are privileged and are leveraging their position in an attempt to help others up, i.e. by raising/forcing awareness, a valid thing to do. Feminists aren't the only ones to do it.

I perceive these two points to be common themes in "The Guilty Feminist" podcast I like to listen to.

Yes. But if a plane falls in Japan. Germany doesn't stop all planes from flying. At most you look at the specific model and ground that for a while. You do review and try to improve. Nuclear is simply treated differently then anything else.

Nuclear in the 'western' exemplary history of safety in the last 40 years and most of these plants have operated without fail for a long time.

The failure mode is not actually a mystery in this case and stopping plants where the same failure mode is impossible makes little sense for plants that have proven to run perfectly for 30+ years.

Can you link to one of the applications you built using xojo?
> What's the difference? Why are phones such a security nightmare? At least in terms of encryption at rest on a cold device, isn't this a solved problem?

One horribly annoying decision of Android is that the encryption passphrase cannot be different from the unlock pin, leaving users with two choices:

- Have a long, secure password that actually makes Android's encryption worth a damn. They then have to enter this password every time they want to unlock their phone. I don't think many people go for this option.

- Have a short usable password so you can painlessly unlock your phone. However, then encryption only provides a marginal benefit

(- I decided to use a long password with fingerprint unlock as a compromise, which creates its own security problems.)

It seems that they ignore that a powered off devices could easily provide much stronger protection by allowing a separate encryption password. And if the device is powered on, limiting unlock attempts might be somewhat useful to frustrate attacks against short lock screen passwords.
We could probably look to the rest of the West for inspiration, they've been navigating these grey areas in the interest of accountability for a while now.

It's still a developing science though, see the conflict over "was Assange acting as a journalist?", and the different decisions taken by different US administrations on that particular case, but it will still be kneeded out in the courts which is where we usually decide things like this which are open to interpretation.

I don't think it's entirely true that desktop applications use separate threads for all tasks except UI related tasks. At least not for old win32 based applications. I think it's pretty common to do other small tasks too in the main thread, and to spawn new threads only when doing queues or other stuff that you know will perceptibly halt the running of the main user interface thread.
DMG – 01: How to Emulate a Game Boy (In Rust)
Yes but how to tell npm your app doesn't run on Windows? Checking for win32 or other well-known Win-specific "process" property in your "build" npm script, and make it fail if it hasn't any of the expected valued? I'm guessing is-windows is idiomatically used for this exact purpose, and people not wanting to hard-code a heuristic for detecting Windows in their app. But then, I'm not sure third-party packages are available during execution of "build". The last time I had to deal with this, it didn't work out as I intended, and I ran out of time to find a robust, generally used idiom for this.
Another point is that Haskell and OCaml popularized features and styles that are making their way into mainstream languages (e.g. option types instead of null, immutability by default), and the compilers showed that they can be implemented efficiently.

It mentions that this is almost entirely due to interface files on ocaml’s part. They unfortunately introduce a fair amount of duplication.
"IBM had long given up on it, even allowing another company to maintain the software in 2001. (These days, a firm named Arca Noae sells an officially supported version of OS/2, ArcaOS, though most of its users are in similar situations to the MTA.)"

I recommend reading about Domain Driven Design. For example reading the book: Implementing Domain-Driven Design by Vaughn Vernon
Financial markets are discounting mechanisms. If climate change causes losses from weather events to increase, insurance and insurance companies will be repriced accordingly. Commodity futures prices reflect the weather hour by hour. If climate change reduces GDP by 10% over a century, that reduces growth by 0.1% a year. A moratorium on fossil fuels would cost much more than that.

I wonder if some of these from the "Arlington" hotel were actually from Arlington, VA? Arlington used to be part of the District before 1847. It's impossible to search for the answer, too many Arlington hotel results.
Kinda of.

The courts are generated, and therefore subject to, the executive. It's easy to see how an executive could stack a court (a la Roosevelt). Or simply denying the courts the ability to enforce their rulings and doing whatever (Jackson).

The Spruce Goose (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hughes_H-4_Hercules) is another famous example.
In that kind of manufacturing environment, typically it's just middle management keeping things at a local maximum and hiding problems from plant managers. Middle management is incentivized to maintain said local maximum based on some arbitrary metric (ie uptime) which can be decoupled from productivity. This is the primary mistake. Plant managers usually have the bigger picture in mind, but aren't aware of the issues, as they trust the people below them. Operators eventually stop complaining when nothing gets done, as they assume that's how it works. This leads to money spent fixing operator culture, which is really just a more visible symptom of the actual issue.

Long story short, you get what you incentivize for. Incentivize carefully.
Yeah the issue is whether the language makes it easy to use them on all levels from syntax and features (simple constructors, pattern matching) to use in the stdlib and wider community

They never returned after 50 years. Don Pettit claims that NASA destroyed all the technology to go there and is having a difficult time rebuilding it. None of this makes any sense. Never in the history of technology has a task increased in complexity while technological advancements also increased.

It’s all nonsense.
> practicing their own religions

The freedom of religion is explicitly within a Western cultural and political framework.

For example, there is a long history of Islamic jurisprudence that also allows for freedom of religion - as long as Islam remains the 'established' religion, and other religions remain on a lesser footing. This is not obviously compatible with the level of separation of church and state in the West - but Muslim immigrants who might prefer a more theocratic system are obviously in the minority.

> have the Chinese population in Sunnybank abandoned their culture because they aren't clashing with the Anglo-australian population

Chinese civilization has had a markedly non-democratic political tradition for a couple thousand years, and many mainland immigrants lack a strong preference for democratic society. Similarly, Thailand has strong lese-majeste laws to protect the dignity of the king and royal family. These political traditions are pretty alien to the modern West, even though Westerners three hundred years ago would have found them utterly normal.

Culture is not just what you eat or where you worship, but encompass habits like 'How do we treat other groups?', 'How should we be ruled?', or even 'Is it morally acceptable to break laws (like evading taxes)?'

Immigrants are only allowed to act out certain cultural beliefs—the ones that don't threaten or conflict with the dominant culture.

> Constitutions far outdated the very concept of natural law

Really? I would trace the concept of natural law at least back to Aquinas (13th century) if not antiquity. Constitutional law as part of a secular democracy, on the other hand, I wouldn't trace back much further than the U.S. Constitution, or at most its 17th century predecessors. Magna Carta wasn't really a constitution.
> I highly doubt that anyone read this and actually thought that there was some sort of global law requiring this.

Sure, but it's exactly the desire to reduce the tension between what you know to be true and the title that makes clickbait effective. This could have also been a law from 1700 that was never enforced, or whatever.

Yes, but I was responding to a post that wasn't about "most people." For people who use a screen reader because they have a visual impairment, a PDF is better than a raw LaTeX file if the PDF has been produced in a way that includes document semantics. My understanding is PDFs produced by LaTeX converters do not include such semantics, the code is only meant for printers, so also having the raw LaTeX file available is better than not having it.

True, except that fingerprint sensors can often be fooled and you cannot change your fingerprint once it becomes "compromised". For instance, anyone who ever visited the US, at least as a non-citizen, will have given their fingerprints to CBP.

I think this only works for an attacker model that excludes reasonably sophisticated attackers. I expect this to thwart pickpockets or muggers, but not the police or anyone more sophisticated than that.

I made a barebones beginner repo as well, but with all the glue solved for C and C++ (no exceptions and rtti, although that is certainly possible too): https://github.com/fwsGonzo/barebones

While writing a bootloader is fun, there is a lot of old things that you can only solve by having thousands of people use your loader. Hence, we turn to multiboot - which also allows us to boot on google cloud and many other cool places.

I read the tutorial and its quite well written. One nit pick is that the stack pointer is just set to a value that a beginner won't understand - namely the end of the 8kb BSS area. Additionally, the BSS area is not zeroed, which has to be done at some point, so there is potential for problems down the road.

On i386 and amd64 the stack grows downwards, so we should be setting our stack pointer to the 16-byte aligned (due to SSE) end of our stack area.
