Yucca Mountain is for long-term storage. Unfortunately, the Obama administration stopped delayed development for political reasons (what were they thinking? We can't store nuclear waste at power plants -- there must be long term storage). I think Trump administration is working to continue Yucca Mountain.

This is a design defect, not a manufacturing defect.

In case of design defects in highly regulated fields (cars), there is often a campaign to make things right. When Intel processors couldn't divide properly, they had a campaign to replace them. In this case, it looks like we're not getting much.
Yeah, I get so much value from Pocket that I even switched from Instapaper.

It's not Pocket that's the problem, it's the gross attempted force-feeding (that just makes me want to try some other browser like Brave (not an endorsement, just what I personally would investigate next)).

How about, instead of "we plastered all this shit from the crap we bought onto every single browser window you henceforth open, you mindless peon!": how about they did some promo graphic and well-done animated enticement, along the lines of, "Hey! Pocket has tons of subscribers who upvote the most meaningful and relevant stories to them — how about we replace your blank homepage with the best of the best?"

But instead they're just like EAT THIS SHIT PLEEB and you know what fuck it I did just switch my default browser while typing this. :middle-finger-emoji-that-HNs-1970s-site-generator-isnt-compatible-with:

Nuclear power plants do not "become deadly (and indeed irreparable) under conditions of economic collapse etc" outside of comic books.

The power source that might apply to is hydro electric dams. Those dams won't stand forever without active maintenance, and the flood wave can sweep away entire cities.
Nuclear fanboys (and I'm one) need to make peace with the fact that we've regulated them out of existence. Building a new nuclear plant takes more time, costs more per MWh, and involves more risk than current solar + batteries. I think nuclear had great potential, and if we'd been innovating on it for the last 70 years like we have in other fields it would be competitive. But we didn't and it's not, and it's probably late to change the momentum on that. Batteries are now advancing rapidly and I expect the future to be solar and wind with energy storage as the bulk of our energy production.
RenoRun | Software Engineer | Montreal, LOCAL ONLY | Full time

RenoRun is one of North America's fastest growing venture backed startups, modernizing the way remodelling and construction professionals run their businesses. We are growing rapidly in Toronto and Montreal, Austin, TX, and our US expansion is underway.

We are looking for talented individuals to join our growing development team in Montreal -- you'll join a diverse team of individual contributors and teammates and help build profoundly transformative products for the construction industry; from just in time delivery of construction materials to online commerce tools, all the way to realtime planning and scheduling applications.

We're currently hiring for three teams: a web development team building our online presence and shopping experience in TypeScript, NodeJS and React; a mobile team building driver and customer focused, cross-platform applications in Dart and Flutter; and a backend team building the intelligence platform and support APIs in Java (and possibly, soon, Clojure!). Other technologies and providers you'll interact with include AWS, MySQL, Ansible, Prometheus and tons of online APIs.

You can find out more about us at https://renorun-inc.breezy.hr/ -- we are committed to a diverse and inclusive team and want to hear from YOU.
Main benefit is you don't need to remember to start your editor frame in screen/tmux and you can use both terminal and gui/x11. So when I'm at work I start emacs in X11 windows, when remote I simply ssh in and do emacsclient and connect to all the buffers I have open (if I have low latency i'll do x11 forwarding and start x11 emacsclient ) It's basically the same as tmux/screen but gives you a lot more flexibility.

Other big benefit is starting emacsclient is basically instant, so opening a file from a webbrowser or whatever is super fast (some folks have 30 second or longer emacs startup times).

Only real downside is it really sucks bringing back your state when emacs crashes and you have hundreds of buffers open for multiple projects across 20-30 emacs clients.

I get that nuclear is effective, but the worst case scenario for nuclear seems vastly worse than the worst case for any other method of generating energy. Fukushima plant has gathered 1 million tons of radioactive water they now plan on just dumping into the ocean, and has rendered a pretty sizable area uninhabitable. We still don't know the long term health effects of living in areas that had been evacuated. Coupling this with all the radioactive waste we may never know what to do with makes me personally feel that fission is a bandaid more than a permanent solution.
Which, unfortunately, feed us all. Except for a few fortunate folks with room to grow some fraction of their own food.
I'm not sure you should want to. You have expanded your range of what you can solve by intuition (or just by "seeing" the answer). Rather than being a problem, this is part of your professional growth.
It takes multiple generations for this to cause an impact. What matters isn't the people living longer who are born today - it's the ones living longer who were born in the 1950s-1970s. And it's taken additional decades for most of the poorer countries to catch up to the "first world", in terms of birth rates and lifespans.

Consider, say, Iran. In 1980, its birthrate was around 6. Now, it's 1.4, lower than Europe, and lifespans shot up at the same time - but only for those born during the health revolution there. So those people are still less than 40 years old. Iran is just now starting to feel the impact of increased lifespans, and it'll take another 50 years for that to truly stabilize.
Thanks! Sure. Actually @katabasis summed it up perfectly: "... Also, it's a great demonstration of static site / "JAM stack" technology (Nuxt + Flicker API + Firebase). A simple setup leaves more time to spend crafting a polished experience."

Additionally, I am also using youtube's api for the videos and an airtable sheet where I store all the information about the films. When I update the airtable sheet it automatically updates firebase and generates the static site from nuxt. I could probably also use the airtable api but I have not looked into it yet.

So you think that pair programming is never a good idea?
Uh, are you sure of that? My experience has been that x264, for instance, benefits greatly from hyperthreading.

Hyperthreading allows you to queue up additional instructions (in a different thread) that the executor can switch to when it would otherwise be just waiting for the next instruction in the primary thread.

2. Power is already shipped across the state and to neighboring states. I'm not familiar with the capabilities to carry X amount of power between Y and Z regions, but, in the main, this is not a major issue, unless you're speaking of a specific limitation I'm not aware of.

5. Power requirements per capita in CA are dropping, full stop. I don't think homeowners installing their own supplemental power systems come into this (much). The power generated on my roof is still power I consume, and it's accounted for that way. Frankly, rooftop solar is a big arbitrage scheme rather than anything like self-sufficiency. Even most home solar+battery systems can't work in a grid disconnect scenario.

In some places they are. For instance, net flix appliances use FreeBSD. One of the deciding factors here is licensing: Linux is gpl, meaning net flix would have to contribute back its changes, whereas by using a BSD-licensed alternative, it can keep those changes in-house for a performance advantage. You can dispute the merits or ethics of this, but that's the choice a good few people make. I believe yahoo used it for similar reasons. Some consoles (Sony Play Station 3, Nintendo Switch, possibly others?) use it internally, again so they don't have to open-source console code. Others use it for appliance-type devices, again for similar reasons.

I've worn different hats at different times in my current role, but currently mainly focused on digital publishing engineering. Recently developed a system for transforming simplified inDesign export data into well-formed Apple News+ formatted magazine content. For that reason I'm proud to say you can now find me on the Macleans magazine (Canada) masthead (Apple News+ edition).

I'm in a good place these days, but I'm always curious to hear about different kinds of projects from those I've been entwined in—including side projects.

"Baseline power" isn't all that useful. What we need to complement renewables is a reliable source of dispatchable power that can be turned on and off, preferably quickly. Nuclear ain't it. While it's possible to somewhat increase or decrease the output of a nuclear power plant, it's slow, operationally complex, and increases the already formidable costs of nuclear power. It's also not terribly common in the US due to licensing restrictions.

The assumption that baseline power is necessary seem like an unwarranted assumption to me, an idea that is unquestioned because that's the way things are done now. Maybe adequate provisioning of sufficiently uncorrelated, variable power sources combined with some storage is enough to replace all baseline and peak power sources. Maybe this can be done with less expense than nuclear + peaker plants. I haven't seen any nuclear proponents defend the necessity of the baseline power concept with an actual analysis showing that alternatives can't work though.

So yes, you are talking about individual branching & merging in order to commit a single change. And you are talking about never using the rebase command. Why? What are the tangible benefits to never using rebase on your own private commits? You didn’t give me any concrete examples. This seems exceedingly academic and it also seems like you’re either not understanding normal git workflow, or are trying to work in an ad for Pijul or something?

If you use git like I’ve proposed - which is how most people actually use it - by calling commits “history” only after they’ve been shared with someone else, e.g. pushed, then you get all the same guarantees that you are proposing, and the workflow is one of adding only leaves.

Rebase is something you usually do locally before adding nodes to the shared tree, and really has no bearing on published history, nor does it affect published history or change the order or monotonicity of shared events, because you never rebase already published commits. It is not only possible to use rebase in a non-destructive way, it is the most common workflow, and you’re arguing against that part in favor of something that offers zero advantages.

It’s not possible to never have a merge conflict. It is possible to do better than git, but if two people change the same file in the same location, you have a problem, no matter how many monotonic partial orderings you have.

> other VCSs offer branching and merging without requiring operations similar to rebase

Git does not require rebase for branching and merging, and you already know this because you’re advocating single commits in master from individuals get branched and then merged instead of rebased locally. Lots of tutorials don’t mention rebase because it’s irrelevant in the context, and because rebase isn’t required.

Be specific: what systems exactly are you talking about using in the past that had no rebasing and better tooling? There’s no discussion here without concrete examples.
using emacsclient in screen or tmux is kinda handy if you're using a flaky connection and keep disconnecting (like on a train)

The full story of Fukushima has not really been comprehensively told, at least in English language media. I'm not really sure that new reactors would necessarily be safer than Fukushima Daichi unit 1, because that unit had an isolation condenser system. The IC is exactly the type of passive safety system that is touted with new designs -- it can keep the reactor cool for a couple of days just by turning a couple of valves, and it can operate indefinitely if its water supply is topped off by, for example, a firetruck. Supposedly the system automatically activated, but then was manually deactivated by reactor personnel before the tsunami arrived to avoid shock cooling the reactor. After the tsunami arrived, the system was not turned back on again apparently out of confusion, but exactly what happened is still mysterious to me.

All of that said I still think that nuclear is the safest and least environmentally damaging method of power generation we've yet invented. Like air travel, due to radiation's mysteriousness, it's held to a much higher standard of safety and environmental impact than other forms of power generation, and that has led to gross distortions in perception and regulation that lead us to have less safety and a worse environment.

> It's not a choice between paying banker bonuses or giving minimum wage workers an increase.

Sure it is. When the last round of tax cuts were configured, deliberate choices were made that affected different income brackets in different ways. The levers can be tweaked to direct the benefits to the poor, the wealthy, the middle class, etc.

> could you explain why folks investing their bonuses in the stock market and therefore directing their capital towards productive companies is worse than consumers spending their money directly?

I already did, with a linked source for further details.
I see this "match making" idea come up a lot. Why do you consider Wags in the same way as Tinder? If a dog walker (let's call him Bob) was doing well and wanted to scale his business. Bob hires 10 dog walkers by sharing his customer pool and adding more customers. Is it "match making" when Bob sends one of his employees to a new job?
It needs to be more distributed, but that makes food more expensive and not enough people want to pay those higher prices.
> Why woud AC be safer than DC?

I don't know if it's only anecdotal or if there is some actual study to verify it, but the typical reasoning on why AC is "safer" than DC is that AC has a "zero-crossing" point, whereas DC (obviously) does not. Why is this considered "safer" (again, possibly anecdotal)?

Because if you accidentally contact DC at a high enough voltage to shock you, your muscles contract - and stay contracted. AC, on the other hand - at least at the relatively low frequencies typically used (50/60 Hz) - crosses a "zero point" where the voltage is "zero" - and lets your muscles relax - briefly - long enough to be able to move away from the current (or in worst case - ungrip your hands).

Again, I don't know if any study has been done on this potential "mythological" reasoning (I would be surprised if there hasn't) - but that's usually the reasoning given.
Satellites don't "move" into each other's way. Orbits naturally end up that way. There's no one "causing the risk" in the first place. SpaceX could have just as easily asked the ESA to move their satellite as it was getting in the way of their satellite.
How is Nicorette unhealthy?
