If the other control room is contaminated now, wasn't it unsafe to work in after the explosion? They still had a few reactors in operation for a time.

Good to see the control room still runs Windows XP with default Teletubby background. I wonder whether this is a vulnerability and an upgrade is planned.

I cannot even begin to point out all the falsehoods in your post. If you made it in good faith, please examine your views, otherwise stop trolling.
My understanding with such apparent truths is that even if its noticeable to an individual its a question of his personal opinion vs prevailing wisdom. so in his mind he runs a quick calculus on the cost of changing other peoples prevailing opinion and possibly alienating them of just giving in and buying the damn thing. Now when it is said out loud by somebody with enough critical weight then that calculation shifts dramatically & it may be worthwhile speaking up again. once that opinion is out there you can move that conclusion out into your model of the world instead of keeping it in your personal model so essentially you are unburdened from having to keep that mental context alive within you and you can more easily move on to the next step from there.

IMHO this is how diamonds have proliferated for so long despite having minimal intrinsic value.

I have deal with social anxiety, and the tips he gives are very valid.
Below is my summary.

Two rules to get through social events.

1. No situation that he can't get himself out of.

2. Find things that help with self confidence.

6 things to help follow those rules.

1. Take your own car. He didn't do uber,taxi,uber, or friends. - he isn't stuck.

2. Always rent a hotel, instead of staying with someone. Provides an escape/safeplace.

3. Code words/phrases. To friends, or Significant others. This allows to to let others know they need to leave, and they might even provide the exit.

4. Don't feel like you have to talk all the time.

5. Drinking - He doesn't drink anything Hard. being hammered makes things worse.

6. Get some therapy. He went to therapy, it helped tremendously. It isn't just about you, but it can help you understand other people, and what they are thinking.

I absolutely agree with some clothing is used for health/sexual/wealth signaling and it works to some degree. But these simple ideas don't nearly explain fashion. If fashion didn't include a huge amount of delusion, it would converge. It wouldn't shift with each generation.

We are more than hardwired to find the most capable mate. We're also hardwired to pick up social cues so if a large enough group of people believe something, we believe it too. If everyone you knew started wearing those MC Hammer pants tomorrow, how long would you hold out? If people suddenly and entirely stopped wearing ties with suits, would continue to wear the most unnecessary accessory ever? Why does everyone in tech dress so similarly?
While the dairy lobby is 100% real, I haven't seen anything that comes close to an analogue of dairy outside the animal kingdom. The combo of high calorie sugar, protein, and fat is pretty hard to beat without explicitly enriching the food. Even after enriching it's quite difficult to hit that calorie density and have something that you want to drink/eat.

I would probably be fine with replacing it with a lighter version of soylent (it's too thick to serve as milk), but the idea that we drink milk because of marketing, or that they're artificially inflating the nutrition you get out of milk, is laughable.

The plant "milk" lobby, on the other hand tries to trick me into buying their product every time I'm at the damn store by redefining "milk" to mean "that white liquid".... https://plantbasedfoods.org/plant-based-foods-association-te...

> Companies selling dairy alternatives are using easy to understand, clear, descriptive, and truthful language on labels. Our members and others in this category, are using common English words that consumers understand: milk, cheese, yogurt and butter. To our members, and to consumers, these words represent functionality, form and taste, not necessarily the origin of the primary ingredient.

That's bullshit and they know it. If you ask for butter, or cheese, or yogurt at the store and they give you a vegan product you'd be right to be annoyed. They approximate the food only at the shallowest level of perception and are very different foods to work with in the kitchen.

Also, I do like almond milk—just not as a milk replacement.
Sure, but the statement doesn't change the material aspects of the goods. If it was true then they were crap before, if it was not then they remain in the affordable category afterwards.

Then again, jewelry is to a large extent about perception and not their material properties.

I'm not sure Linux fs devs care about point 1, the simplicity and ease of implementation. They're already beyond that need. I might choose exFAT if I wrote my own kernel, but LOC and complexity don't care Linux fs devs.

The article is written for people interested in the very specific topic of the technical workings ACH transfers. It seems absurd to me that you would try to write this article to an audience that hasn't even heard of ACH. I think the only thing you are missing is that you are not the target reader.
He didn't stereotype HN posters.

He just said there's a lot of authoritarians on HN, which I believe to be factually correct: most libertarian-oriented comments on HN get downvoted into the ground.

It doesn't take even a majority to do that, just a large enough rabid mob.

> Do people 'see' what the sites are doing, and which? Does it matter if you just prevent it from happening?

Sorry if I've not been clear enough here. Let me explain my thought process.

uBlock Origin shows me this https://i.imgur.com/Vv2xyIL.png when I visit cnn.com.

In contrast, when I go to news.ycombinator.com, nothing is blocked. It gives me some idea of what companies respect my privacy and what companies are happy to sell my internet browsing history out to advertising networks and data brokers.

Yes, I'm blocking it as much as possible regardless, but I think it's still valuable to be aware of which sites are good actors and what sites are not. The little number on the uBO toolbar icon is a rough reminder of this.

> If they're not doing it in your browser then you don't need to block it in your browser, because they're not doing it, because they're doing it in their back-end (which is not your browser) instead of in your browser (which is).

The problem is not that the tracking is in my browser. The problem is the tracking.

If the tracking all happens server-side I have no idea what sites are tracking me and I can't do anything to prevent it. I can't even avoid it because I can't see what sites do it.

This is - from a perspective of not wanting to be tracked everywhere I go on the internet - worse than having javascript trackers on each page which my browser can choose to not run.

Honey is the biggie. Also figs.
For me, the biggest reason I've become semi-veg is that restaurants actually make decent meat-free meals. Most places used to relegate meat-free options to salads and side dishes. But today, most restaurants treat vegetarian dishes as first-class options.

This has given me more ideas on what to cook without meat besides, Indian food or pasta.

This is one of the reasons I use it. I get in, catch up, get the hell out of dodge (close the tab), and then I don't have (yet) a(nother) gmail tab sucking up literally hundreds of MB of RSS.
This one is interesting... it looks like sibling call optimization was a bit too aggressive, or non-nullness is propagating incorrectly.

For those who understand UB, the problem is not that 'node' is NULL. The compiler can "prove" that 'node' is non-NULL, but the results are propagated to 'module' from main, which is not correct because 'main' is not the only call site of 'walk'.
This could use a (2018) in the title. The original discussion was started Dec 2017, and the last comment was made Jan 2018. The recent change was the discussion getting locked in Mar of this year.
Ouch, this is annoying. But it's a bug. Sometimes those happen, and they get fixed.

This is totally unlike the user hostility that results from playing gotcha with UB which has also resulted in removing null pointer checks. Those aren't bugs and don't get fixed.

I have encountered situations where irregular rounding became solvable but annoyingly problematic to detect / calculate, in the LANL Earthquake dataset on Kaggle, it had a column with samples and a column with (incorrectly incrementing) sample times that were rounded. In order to create a corrected column, I noticed quite a lot of irregularities in the python rounding (or the underlying mechanism)

I also consider simultaneously deterministic, fast, portable rounding or binary formats to be important for decentralized delegation of computation, say a TrueBit style platform:

You keep bringing up Linus.

With ad networks you cannot use the nature of the site to judge the respectability of the ad. Essentially individual sites rent a chunk of space out to the networks that auction that space to the highest bidder in real time. Even respected sites have from time to time even been used as vectors to infect visitors computers with malware. The only reason Linus Tech Tips isn't serving ads for the virtues of combining zoophilia and narcotics is there isn't much money in it.

The fact that you paid to pirate windows doesn't make your purchase any more legitimate because you paid someone who themselves never paid for it.There simply isn't a credible means for someone to have obtained the rights to sell such thousands of times over AND be able to sell it for a few bucks.

It's like when you see a crackhead selling valuables worth thousands of dollars for 50 bucks. The logical conclusion is that he broke into someone's house and stole it. Enjoy your Rolex for $50 but it's either fake or stolen.
That's incredibly pedantic, and in any event even the dictionary gives extraordinary as a synonym. But I'd never before considered the derivation of incredible before, so I learned something today :) On the other hand, you've ruined me as I'll never be able to unsee in-credible. :(

why would animals in wild suffer more than in captivity? In captivity animals go through hell, tiny living spaces, shit and eat in same place, hormones injected, little freedom. Tons of videos on youtube if you feel like watching some gore.

It's not about taking suffering away. Animals born in the wild live their life naturally. Animals created by us in farms are raised for one thing, for human consumption. If an animal wants to run away in wild and do it's thing, it has that choice. In captivity, we force the choice humans made for them.

Basically if we have slightest amount of empathy for our pets and are willing to apply that to other animals, eating meat doesn't look enticing.
Well, this is not the inside story, but what is known publicly. I'm just copy pasting from the Wikipedia article on Mozilla Thunderbird [1] since it has all the details with citations. Basically, Mozilla believed that email was a solved problem that didn't need attention while Firefox OS and others needed more attention. The code sharing between Firefox and Thunderbird also made management of change more cumbersome (it's still difficult on the Thunderbird side now, though it's better than how it was a few years ago).

> On July 6, 2012, Mozilla announced the company was dropping the priority of Thunderbird development because the continuous effort to extend Thunderbird's feature set was mostly fruitless. The new development model shifted to Mozilla offering only "Extended Support Releases", which deliver security and maintenance updates, while allowing the community to take over the development of new features.

> On December 1, 2015, Mozilla Executive Chair Mitchell Baker announced in a company-wide memo that Thunderbird development needs to be uncoupled from Firefox. She referred to Thunderbird developers spending large efforts responding to changes to Mozilla technologies, while Firefox was paying a tax to support Thunderbird development. She also said that she does not believe Thunderbird has the potential for "industry-wide impact" that Firefox does. At the same time, it was announced that Mozilla Foundation will provide at least a temporary legal and financial home for the Thunderbird project.

> Since the memo in 2015, Mozilla has brought Thunderbird back in-house in an announcement on May 9, 2017, and continues to support its development. The Thunderbird development team has also expanded by adding several new members and has undergone an overhaul on security and user-interface.

A lot of airlines seem to pad their arrival times tho, so it might not be an apples to apples comparison. Like a week ago I sat on a plane that was stuck on the tarmac for an hour, and we still arrived on time at the destination after a couple hours in the air.

Ah, NACHA, oh how I hate thee.

If only NACHA files were JSON as shown in the example in the article.

I wrote a NACHA processor in MS Access many years ago for a client in the insurance industry. That thing is still being used. God, I wish it would die. Although, I'm not sure which is worse: Parsing and generating the NACHA record format, or trying to parse and generate JSON in VBA.

Why MS Access? Their entire claims processing system (which I did not write) ran on it. I only just got that damn thing migrated to an MSSQL backend. The pain.

I am perpetually changing this up, but the one constant is workflowy. Things like a cars Vin number, small notes like shell one liners, all the way to large categorized outlines for projects. It takes some getting used to, but the key lesson is for a great many things - text as individual files per subject is not the right metaphor.

I wish they would support an official api, and it kills me that the native desktop app is an electron thing, but all the ways they have not fucked it up in the last 10 years is what makes it worth looking at.

I have a nagging fear that as a VC funded (yc I think) company they will have to sell out eventually.
As the other commenters have pointed out, this is a bug in GCC and not an aggressive optimization typical of compilers exploiting undefined behavior. Perhaps the title can reflect this somehow? "Bug in GCC removes null pointer check", etc.?
