I agree with you that it’s important to make nuclear reactors more cost efficient but also what you are leaving out is twofold. One, The costs of a cleanup after an accident is massive which affects total cost. Two, the public perception of nuclear being scary and an invisible killer inhibits adoption. Just look at Germany’s knee jerk reaction to Fukushima to see that in action.
I liked Twitter before Twitter decided that advertisers and "trending topics" and virality were more important than personal curation. The out-of-order timeline with forced ads and both Likes and Replies becoming less deterministic retweets were some of the last straws for me.

I saw one app that was meant to be a three tier web app - it was two tier so when it was delivered the customer complained and a proxy tier was hacked in that only served to slow down the application - they could have just deployed a service onto the app boxes that did nothing and it would have been better.
Ravelry is a lovely social network for knitters, crotchers, and spinners.

It's a relatively small site, but it's a model for how social networks should work. Because it's built around a shared interest that people spend money on, the site can sell ad slots instead of relying on real-time bidding based ad networks.
Or you get a human that assumes the customer they are helping is abusive or problematic based on the prior messages, in which case they may be very unmotivated to help you.
From personal experience, I learned R during college as a part of my stats courses, before tidyverse even existed.

After doing a few personal projects using base R with complex manipulations, I would have quit using R entirely if it were not for tidyverse/dplyr.

I'm a pragmatic software engineer: I prefer to get a data analysis job as fast as necessary, and IMO there isn't much merit in making things more complicated by using base R just for the sake of base R. It's definitely not faster, both in cognitive load and in speed. In my data science work there hasn't been a single case where I've needed to fall back to base R, or wanted to.

Pipes are being undersold here: the examples only show a single piped action, whereas pipes shine when you have to do 5+ operations in a single manipulation (I've seen base R code that does that by just having a lot of redundant df assignments and it's a pain to read).
Believe parent is comparing and contrasting the problems inherent in intermittent renewables vs nuclear.

Intermittent renewables (in scenarios shy of wanton overbuilding) result in deficits, which requires energy storage to address. Energy storage (aside from pumped hydro) is pretty carbon-messy.

Surplus, on the other hand, can be bled off into energy-negative carbon sequestration.

There's obviously lots of other points, but it's mostly fair under economically realistic scenarios.

After I dug more into Cue, it's actually super complicated and ugly. Jsonnet is definitely cleaner and easier to learn if TOML is too static for you.

It's nice to have type safety, but the way it's implemented in Cue is unintuitive and too complex to be practical.

The approach of JSON (borrowed from XML) to have a separate schema file is better and you can use to to just validate.

Precedent is foundational to western law. The first judge to make a decision based on a law sets a precedent that informs how that law is interpreted in the future. This is a feature, not a bug because real world situations are messy, complicated, and dynamic. Trying to enumerate every legal interpretation and eventuality based on today's conditions and technology results in a law that won't be meaningful 5 years from now.

Incorrect. The aircraft is not aerodynamically stable in pitch unaided by software, thereby failing the demonstration of positive pitch stability as written in FAR 25.173. The non-compliance is of the form of a slackening of control stick response force at high AoA due to extra lift generation ahead of the center of gravity caused by the forward mounted engine nacelles.

In regulatory parlance, this specifically means the airframe (the specific physical assembly of parts that collectively determine the flight characteristics of the object in question) possesses an "instability" that disqualifies it from being certified airworthy as a Civil Transport Aircraft unless the FAA amends or reinterprets the requirement.

The penultimate Lion Air flight only recovered thanks to The intervention of a third pilot; a luxury not universal to every cockpit.

>MCAS should be active only at angle of attacks, which wouldn't be reached at extreme angle of attacks.

The potential for MCAS subroutine activation is active during all phases of manually controlled (Autopilot off), flaps up flight,and is gated only by readings from an AoA sensor; which can fail in flight to catastrophic effect.

>The sole purpose of MCAS is to emulate the exact reactions of the older 737 machines in this domain, as this was required for maintaining the same type rating.

Incorrect. The sole purpose of MCAS is to induce an intentional "mistrim" during certain points of the flight envelope to counter the extra lift generated by the repositioned engines, with the end goal of smoothing out the non-compliant stick force response curve. Note, jury is still out whether this should even be allowed. I've gotten wildly different responses based on who I've talked to. Pilots seem to express horror or extreme discomfort. Aerodynamicsts are disconcertingly quiet, but tend toward hard reconfiguration to obviate the need for a software based solution.

Also, MCAS specifically deviates from oldaircraft behavior in that it removes an override of auto-trim commands activated by heavy back pressure on the yoke. There were also specific reconfiguration of the stabilizer trim cutout switches that removed any capability of locking out the MCAS system's ability to actuate the trim motor, while leaving pilot's thrim switches active.

But these are retail prices in a discussion of manufacturers and distributors deciding what to include?

Having cut open such a cable recently to help me understand the spec and having ordered parts and integrated a USB-PD board into my project recently, I can tell you the actual costs if you're not in retail-markup land are substantially less.

We're more or less past the point where "USB-C smart cables are $40" is informed by anything but retail markup, in my opinion.

But I guess I'm only doing the bare minimum on the data side?
From an actuarial standpoint, I wouldn't go near nuclear with a 10' pole either. Simply because the population size is too small.

In the same way I wouldn't offer SR-71 insurance.

That feels like a dodge on the part of regulators.
Well, it may not be keeping up with the new versions but at least it does cover a non-trivial subset of the standard implementation. :-)

I have not tried it in many years and I don't know how much faster or compatible it is. Nevertheless, I think it's a good thing that an "outsider" is looking at performance issues.

As far as I know it's essentially a one-man's effort. One could imagine that RStudio or Microsoft would be able to improve R performance substantially if they wanted to.
> In fact, I wonder why HN always has comments like these.

Because many people here are programmers, and finding edge cases and how to deal with them is often a significant portion of the job.

There are already lots of people that believe olive oil is unhealthy. People who subscribe to a "whole foods" diet believe all forms of refined foods, including oils, can have negative effects on health, and there is quite a lot of research which supports these claims:

http://www.plantplate.com/Guide/Detail?GuideID=1009

The problem with fructose, its effects on the liver, and the mitigation of these effects from eating the whole fruit with its fibre and other nutrients, is now very well established scientifically. I would not be surprised if we reach a similar level of understanding about refined oils.
> The market is irrational.

To some degree. But programmers are not, in general, easily herded, even by other programmers.

Programmers are not stupid. They are not totally ineffective at pushing management to use sane tools. One or both of those would have to be true for your statement to be true.

Well, you may say, it's a slow process. But Haskell has been out there for more than 30 years. F# is 14 years old, and supported by Microsoft. These languages have had plenty of time for programmers to notice that they were actually more effective in the real world.
Of course. The only change I've seen recently developing fast is how much more knowledge a web programmer should have now, it isn't only about learning a language or it's framework; you should also know what DevOps is and how it works, Cloud infrastructure etc.

Also, translating the requirements into good delivery is pretty crucial now, a web programmer is expected to take on a lot more ownership of the product/project they work on. But like @davismwfl said, it is here for long to stay. Good luck!
Oh yeah? Then try coding in word...
The issue of HK was settled in 1997 when it returned to full Chinese sovereignty. The rest really is a grieving process for those nostalgic of the colonial period.

The transition period was useful for China because HK was important and the government did not want to scare foreign companies away. It also allowed the British to save face.

We read sometimes that the expectation was that HK's system would 'spread' to the mainland... It was at best wishful thinking. HK might have had the rule of law (Still has it, and it is still lacking on the mainland) but it did not have Democracy under the British, who really started to open the system up after they agree to the retrocession, and the Chinese were not the type to turn 'soft' (1989 brought those who thought otherwise down to Earth, hard).

On the 'Chinese' side (mainland), I think that the thinking was that as the country develops the role and importance of HK would diminish. We see that now.

HK really rose to prominence after 1949 when Shanghai was effectively killed off. Before that Shanghai was the leading centre and the trend is that it will reclaim the title.

By population Shenzhen is also now larger than HK so one might wonder whether HK will end up being 'absorbed'.

For China as a whole, it seems to me that the rule of law is a key issue because China will not be able to truly achieve its potential without it.

Lastly, it's interesting that no-one ever mentions Macau that was retroceded to China in 1999 under similar arrangements after a much longer colonial period (governed by the Portuguese since the 16th century).

Edit:
The Chinese side's point if view is also not often discussed. For China HK has always been a source of shame and humiliation, and understandably so. The retrocession was very emotional in China because it finally ended that period.

That is to say that I think that China will never budge on HK and will react very strongly against any 'interference', with the full support of the Chinese population at large because that brings them back to the darkest times of the Opium Wars and of the Unequal Treaties, even if all Chinese are not necessarily unsympathetic towards the protesters when it comes to democracy.
This is my experience as a data engineer/analyst. I work in the healthcare space and my analyses are run on datasets that are at the uppermost half a million rows. Yes, data.table is faster than dplyr/tibbles, but i dont care. Like you said, most of my time is spent on expressing my thoughts into code, not running the code. Tidyverse really simplifies it compard to base R.

Its good to know tools like data.table exist though, people shouldnt think the tidyverse is the only way to do things.

I disagree on this... USB-C the connector, is great... having more than 2 varieties of feature/cabling alignment is pretty ridiculous. I get the need/desire for a cheaper option... I even kind of get the cheapest by default... but with USBC the cables should have been limited to lowest and highest spec, with maybe a DOT for one or the other on the end next to the USB logo indicating as much.

I was waiting for the critique... but I never quite saw it.

Imho, the data problem Tidyverse is trying to solve is basically the ones we face in a database. So, select, join, inner join and so forth. Show me all the rows in this datatable where the 4th columm is larger than the 6th column and the number itself is odd. Something like that.

There might be other ways to do it, but you want your select, filter, summarize, mutate etc functions to all work with each other, pipe to each other and be compatible.

Maybe there is a better way to do all this -- I haven't seen it but I am not an expert -- but you have to show that to me.

So, in base R, walk through a set of example of mutating, joining, filtering and so forth, and show me how they are all easier. Then I'll say, wow there is an alternative to this Tidyverse thing. But in lieu of that demo, this felt more like an intro to a complaint than an actual complaint.

Edit: Also, its funny that Wickham is (apparently) such a nice fellow that people go out of the way to be nice to him in critiques.
It will also have to be something cool and exclusive for a while, and not something your dad is allowed to use. That's the thing these "new social networking platforms" are missing: the original cachet of Facebook was that you could only get on it if you had a .edu email address like you would if you were in college. It was cool because college students were on it, sharing their very similar college experiences with each other and basically using it to hook up.

Tinder worked very well for 20-somethings as well because they had figured out that 20-somethings are usually not looking for a deep, meaningful relationship right out of the gate. So they required you to tell your story in pictures, and they eliminated the 3000-word deep and meaningful profiles that people still dating in their 30s and 40s are using. So it almost immediately excluded your dad from using it. And it had a lot of cachet because of that exclusivity.

The thing that made Google+ not cool was that its major enthusiasts were the kind of insufferable tech dweebs that would take pictures of themselves wearing Google Glass in the shower with their Pixel phone. That's very much a dad thing to do, and it's the wrong kind of exclusivity.

So if we want a really good social network to replace Facebook, it has to A) not be full of insufferable tech dweebs, and B) be exclusive by way of not being full of parents on day 1. I'm certainly too old to start something meeting those requirements.
The entire USB power situation is complex. Lets see, there's pre-enumeration classic 5V/100mA, post-enumeration 5V/500mA, a host of proprietary signaling methods for additional power, the more or less de-facto BC 1.2 method for extra power, Type-C analog signaling for 5V/1.5A or 5V/3A power, and USB-PD digital signaling. Oh, and there's also Type-C VCONN power in addition to VBUS power.

The irony in all this is that Type-C analog signaling was meant to greatly simplify the market situation and UX well above and beyond what happened in the micro-B charger world. And it is simpler. RPi4 just goofed in their implementation.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, companies that were quite happy to pay for robocalls and social media bots to promote their product are not interested in paying anonymous people anonymously in Bitcoins for campaigns that might get them into trouble, no matter how proficient the bot developers might be at laundering their crypto earnings.

I don't understand why the workers would do that. There is no incentive for them to get you to pay for it.

The ability to deliver on budget and within schedule is dependent more on political than technological development. Arbitrary delays caused by political meddling (including with pretext of safety concerns) are a significant part of the schedule problems.

However, minor incremental safety improvements may be a tool in addressing this political risk - though it is true that cost still needs to be controlled.
