For anyone curious, most of the UKs nuclear power is due to be comissioned in the next decade. However most reactors have received short term extensions.

There's currently one reactor under construction, and a bunch more planned, so I expect the current reactors will receive extensions until these or renewables take over.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!! I will do that!
The is a valid point to Ellison comment regarding loyalty. If you don’t care about profit, like Uber, then you can undercut your competitors. Neither drivers nor customers would care if Uber suffers, if they can get a better deal else where.

The technology also isn’t special enough that it alone can support the massive value of Ubers stock.
Yes, I made it a topic as the term was used incorrectly. So I was pointing this out, as not to further this misconception. Is there any additional discussion on this topic needed?

You might need to do some philosophical delving. If this is happening to you, then it implies that it's a task that you have told yourself is important, but that you don't really think is important.

So there's the two versions of you. The one that diagnosed it important, and the one that behaves as if it isn't.

Which is correct? There's a philosophical concept akrasia that might be worth reading about.

But for a shortcut, here's what I like to do. Get very disciplined and explicit on the Why. Ideally, every priority of yours should be traceable - through strict logic based on sufficiency and necessity - down to values that are important to you.

That explains why that split sometimes happens.

Because sometimes the You that diagnosed it important is correct, because it really is implied by a basic value of yours, and is necessary as well - but the You that behaves is wrong because the Why pathway isn't explicit enough. An example might be putting off signing up for life insurance if you have kids. If you're more explicit to yourself about the reasoning pathway, it can add more motivation to see the effort through.

And sometimes it's the opposite. The You that behaves is correct to ignore it, and the You that diagnosed it important is wrong. And this can be because your convoluted Why pathway is wrong somewhere. Perhaps a premise that originally justified its importance is no longer true, but you haven't realized all the implications yet.

For technical people in particular, it's all too easy to start amassing an unbelievably huge todo list just because of ideas that sound cool. They turn into goals "just because". Keeping yourself aligned with your own values can help you pare down your priorities.

I give talks at conferences for the same reason I write blog posts. A talk or a post gives me a reason to get my thinking straight about something. There's nothing like trying to explain something to force you to figure out how it really works and identify the places where you are hand-waving over gaps in your understanding.

Fame/ego _sounds_ like a nice side-effect of this activity, especially when you succumb to survival bias and look at people who have been writing for a while or speaking for a while.

But to get here, I had to give some talks that were soundly (and rightly) criticized. That can be humiliating, and more than once I have vowed never to give another talk. Many others followed through and gave one talk, or maybe two, and then never gave another.

Same for blogging. Today I'm supposedly a good writer. But 3/4 of my posts generate crickets. Writing is a terrible way to try to build your ego, it's either criticism or the resounding impression that nobody cares about you and your writing.

Sure, I guess some people want to be famous and have people applaud their talk and are willing to plug away at it to get there for that reason, but in all honestly, if fame is what you seek, writing code is a far easier path to that fame.

---

Summary:

To get to the point where you get your ego stroked, you have to endure a lot of your ego being totally destroyed. Most people don't make it past that, therefore if we are to postulate a reason for giving a talk, "ego" is not a good reason for most people, because most people never get that ego boost.
Oh, definitely agreed. We programmers do rather suck at our profession, especially as I define our profession. Not all of us, and not all the time, but we get rather feted for our technical sk1llz while failing to deliver the thing we're actually supposed to be doing -- even just outright ignoring it.

So if banks are super desperate for Fed funds, but actually have Treasuries to put up as collateral to borrow those funds in the overnight market, why don't they just sell their Treasuries instead, or let them mature, and hold more cash?

Hasn't the Fed for years now been literally paying the banks to do just that with IOER?
Adblockers don't redirect all traffic though them. If you think about it for a moment you will see how absurd that idea is. This would incur one of the most massive bandwidth bills on the internet for negligible financial gain.

Current ublock origin.

Your adblocker frequently updates lists of patterns to block via any of many user configurable lists.

When you load a site ON YOUR COMPUTER it consults all those lists including custom ones you create yourself for annoying elements on particular sites before loading content. It NEVER sends said content to the adblocker or leaks your information.

Ublock origin provides both the adblocking engine and the lists and can innovate on the former and iterate on the latter as fast as you please.

New chrome restrictions.

Google provides an adblocking engine substantially inferior to ublock. Extensions are able to provide only a list much smaller than current lists and can only update that list when the extension itself is updated. They cannot innovate on the adblocking engine as they are stuck with the crummy one an ad company provides. This basically ensures that ad providers win the arms race with adblockers.

Safari

Shares the same inherent flaw with chrome that Apple will be providing the adblocking engine with the possible benefit that apple isn't directly making money off ads and has less incentive to directly break adblocking.

In principle I would see nothing wrong with having the same with facial recognition for wanted people (frankly, why would this not exist if technology is available?), though I'm guessing that people on the run would quickly learn to avoid them.

I feel we are in a phase of facial recognition development in which some people reject it as a matter of principle or because they only see the worst that might be done with it. I'm hoping for a more balanced approach (not holding my breath...).
The repo is on gitlab, but I can always make up a noreply address.
I would hope that your production hardware matches your developer / staging / testing hardware.

Lets say production is 50% slower than what's tested in staging / developer test cases. Is it the data in production that causes this performance loss? Or is it hardware differences?

If you are using Intel tools to debug performance problems on developer / testing stages, you probably want to keep using those Intel tools in staging / production. There are enough cache differences and instruction-level differences (speed of "division" instruction. PEXT vs PDEP. Cache differenches, branch predictor differences, TLB differences) between the chips.

Intel has interesting optimizations: an Intel Ethernet card drops the data off in L3 cache (bypassing DDR4 RAM entirely). These little differences in the driver / motherboard / CPU can have a huge difference in performance, and complicate performance testing / performance debugging.

If you are deploying to AMD hardware for production, you probably want to be running AMD hardware in testing / developer stages as well. You want all your hardware performing as similarly as possible.
Ambivalent.

>I've always felt like I don't fit into society

Many who were not homeschooled feel the same way. I don't think this has to do with being homeschooled or not, it has to do with how some people adapt better than others. I went to regular school and sometimes I get that feeling that it is hard to fit in with the average, but that is not a bad thing after all. Modern times are quite tough for everyone. Perhaps we all have that feeling but never talk about it.
This is a very outdated complaint, we are using all cores these days, just not on all systems. Backend software is concurrent & distributed, and although utilization is lower than we’d like, the extra cores are not going to waste.

However, if you put this in a machine you use for playing games or checking Facebook then you might think that it’s a waste, and you’d be right. There is plenty of software out there which is still single-threaded, but it’s not dominating our utilization.

> Most defenses I've seen of C++ boils down to something along the lines of "you're using it wrong (tm)".

Maybe, but that wasn't what I said. The problem is that lots of people know C, but very, very few people know C++.

A big part of the problem is that both languages share one compiler, and people come from C thinking that C++ is just an upgrade with some features bolted on.

It's not. It's a completely different language, and if you approach it as "I'll learn a bit of C and then throw in some C++ features" you're setting yourself up for a world of hurt.

The hurt goes away if you forget C, start with a clean slate and learn C++ as a new language.
Ask HN: Have any devs transitioned into pure design work (or maybe a combo)?
I'm curious whether any of you here have went from being a developer to a designer and how did you do it, and whether you liked your life now?

I ask because I think my drive for development work is really drying up and I remember when I had a little side project going where I made myself learn illustrator, I had more fun doing the art aspect of it rather than coding the damn thing.

Now I'm thinking of potentially taking some design courses and seeing where it'll all go.

Pendantically yes, and yes, it describes the problem, and used medically it's not melodramatic, but looking at the original comments text:

> It accurately conveys how completely abnormal the changes are.

that would make no sense in the medically accurate context. Derangement being used as "something disturbed in its function" is literally anything being wrong, no matter how minor. It doesn't have to be "completely abnormal", merely abnormal by some means. The post I was responding too clearly doesn't believe it to be a minor dysfunction and wasn't understanding it in the technical context either.

Y'know, it's not binary, the divide is not climate change/no climate change. So maybe it is too late to stop everything completely, but it is really really not too late to stop it from becoming far far worse.

Look at this plot:

You can see where we are and what else is possible if we keep going. (Let's hope we don't trigger feedback effects which are not included in the plot though.)

It's not just porn sites. You'll see the same thing applied to other sin sites, such as for for alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, "adult novelties" and gambling.

I don't find it disturbing, but I think it shows a lack of development effort to basically cut/paste such obvious tropes from just about every other sin site on the Internet.

Isn't it though. Copying an existing process would not be called entrepreneurship. Sure you can have one new aspect and everything else is the same. But the fundamental driver behind entrepreneurship is the thought that there can be a better way.
Worth noting AMD just announced that the first third-gen Threadripper will come out in Nov with 24 cores, and the planned 16-core mainstream chip (the 3950X) is delayed to November: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-ryzen-9-3950x-delay-la...

A 32-core chip is still almost certain to show up, since benchmarks have leaked, and folks have also leaked some pics of 3950X's and packaging, but I guess supply/demand have kept everything from coming out yet.

As the Tom's post notes, server and client chips use the same chiplets, so it could be that most of the higher-binned ones are going to server parts; some are higher-margin (7742 is almost $100/core, vs. 3950X under $50/core) and plausible there're some enterprise orders (AWS etc.) getting priority. I wonder if they tightened the binning for the 3950X to respond to the fuss over turbo, too.

I had never really considered everything that goes into getting to that SKU/price list and launch date: you don't really know how much supply you'll have at various perf levels, or what demand there will be for what at what price, and if you don't exactly match them you might end up losing money by underpricing, by having to nerf good silicon to fill highly-demanded lower-end SKUs, or by having a shortage that makes customers go elsewhere. (Plus vendors don't just have the public SKU list, they're working out contracts with OEMs/other big customers. And who knows what the competition will do.) High stakes, and practically speaking no backsies; seeing how upset folks are about turbo clocks, imagine if AMD announced a price hike. Glad it's not my job.

Slightly OT: Both the existence of this and the AR headset thing have been very leaky. I mean especially stuff like this https://www.macrumors.com/2019/09/10/xcode-11-gm-confirms-ar..., where Apple included a _read me_ text file detailing the headset is incredibly.

It seems very unlikely to me that it was done by accident, and if it was done intentionally, why?

I feel someone smart with some inside knowledge should write about this (ping The Information maybe?).
I do like these goals though because even if Trump stripped California of some of its powers to regulate cars, ultimately the car manufacturers still are forced develop this technology to stay relevant in the world marketplace. If Ford and GM stay with ICE engines too long they will become obsolete.
You're making no sense.

If someone publishes a link between my address and my name, or my address and an online handle of mine or something, in order to remove that link I would have to prove that I am the person with that name at that address, or that I am the person with that online handle or whatever, but there's no fundamental reason I would have to further identify myself in any way. There's no conflict between anonymity and control here. Their having that information about me has hurt my anonymity, but controlling that information in no way further hurts my anonymity.

The possibility of corporations being anonymous is not an example of a tradeoff between anonymity and control either. If the operator of a company had the option of being anonymous, that would be giving them more control over information about them. More control = the option of more anonymity, because there's no tradeoff or conflict, they're two aspects of the same thing.

It's kind of like taking drugs, you know? The activity you do is somewhat slowly killing you, so be kinda/sorta OK with that.

Being a little less flippant, my suggestion is to fight for livable cities where car ownership is one option out of many others, including walking and riding bicycles. If you get out of bed, then straight to your car, then drive to work, to then sit some more (x5 days each week), just to reverse it, it's going to be detrimental in the long run to your health - there's just no other way around it.

If that seems unbelievable, think of the diseases of affluence we, as a culture, have: Type II diabetes, heart disease, etc. Our bodies were born to move, not to code all day to then vegetate all night.
> Ironically windows has had a kind of package manager for years in the form of MSI and the "add/remove programs" system. It just didn't wire this up to a repository.

They added a repository, they call it the Microsoft Store. In Windows 10 you can install Win32 and even command line apps from it. It has a lot of what I need at this point: Python, Inkscape, Paint.NET, VLC, iCloud Drive, WSL Linux distros, etc. I haven't used Chocolatey in years, because most of what I had been using Chocolatey for is in the Store at this point (or I didn't like how Chocolatey was installing them anyway, there were a lot of dumb PowerShell install scripts in the Chocolatey repository).

It would be great to have even more applications in the Store or as MSIX sideload packages (with update support) instead of old MSI/EXE installers, but that's a developer project that takes upgrade/installer rebuild time (as opposed to just about anyone just writing some silly PowerShell script or another and uploading it to Chocolatey).
