This is somewhat off-topic, but I have a question for HNers who know more science than I do.

I have sometimes wondered whether a plasma torch could be used to safely dispose of exceptionally toxic waste? It seems to me that a plasma torch would break down anything fed into it into its constituent atoms/molecules, rendering it no longer toxic. I don't know what would happen to those atoms/molecules after they cool down, but I can't image that they would re-combine back into complex, toxic molecules.

I imagine that running a large plasma torch on a large volume of toxic waste would have a substantial energy cost, but would the cost of destroying toxic waste be greater than the current cost of dealing with all the toxic waste being produced?

Just wondering.

I've moved to purchasing music only on Bandcamp, where I get the option of downloading every purchase in the format of my choice (and offers artists an 85/15 profit split!).

And, after one adverse incident, I am very diligent about exercising that download option. Turns out, artists can withdraw themselves and their music from the platform at any time, which leaves customers without access... mostly. For some reason, I still have access to that music on my phone, though I haven't tested whether that's only thanks to the local cache.

Can't reply to `valley-green` since their post was reported. But I genuinely am sorry if this came off as an affront to firefighters as they do work incredibly hard. What I mean to say is that there is a more general public, government-led effort required to cut back fire risk; in no particular order:

* more controlled burns

* continue to upgrade firefighting capabilities

* continue to hire more firefighters

* enhance preventative maintenance of power lines by cutting back brush

* enhance power infrastructure by insulating or burying lines

Think of dark UX patterns as "digital quaaludes". (If you could get what you want otherwise, then why use them?)

Folks who say "Oh, its free!" are like victims who might say "But I got free drinks!"

After a while, the victim realizes they have been raped. (A very good analogy to what has happened to society at large).

And then there are the apologists (such as venture capitalists), who say dark UX patterns are OK.... because GROWTH. As the old joke goes, the only thing that grows for the sake of growth is cancer.

As far as dark UX patterns go, Facebook has gone one level further.. they have moved into what can only be described as an entire category of dark psychological manipulation (with probably enough material already to fund an entire university department to study the phenomenon). They are lying to everyone - users, legislators, journalists, and even customers. And then there are the useful idiots who still want to work there..... because SCALE! And OPEN SOURCE!
I don't think this is true. When I was younger, I only could fall asleep at ~2am. I went to multiple schools with starting times varying from 5am to 12pm, it never made a difference.

I disagree with your disagreement, but perhaps we all three agree.

The electrons/photons/whatever must be described quantum field theory, but the math is too complex to use it unless it's a very simple experiment with a few particles or with a computer. So it's good to have some simplifications.

In some cases, you can approximate an electron/photon/whatever as a wave. The math is much simpler and with some training you can to with paper and pencil or in some simple cases with handwaving.

In other cases, you can approximate an electron/photon/whatever as a particle. The math is much simpler and with some training you can to with paper and pencil or in some simple cases with handwaving.

I don't like the name "wave–particle duality" but it is probably too late to change it. It's not true that an electron/photon/whatever is sometimes a particle and sometimes is a wave. It is always a weird quantum thing that sometimes can be approximated as particle and sometimes can be approximated as wave.

For historical reasons, people discovered first the approximations, named it as the "wave–particle duality", and later understood what is really happening.

We'll likely add more documentation about this -- however, indeed, the contract fits in those 10 lines. There's not much more that's needed on the integration side.

The real questions (where and for how long do you cache, what triggers are fetch, how to avoid waterfalls) are something that the library itself is better positioned to answer and figure out. We don't have a particular suggestion there (although the docs mention our recommendation).
> once Epic's written Unreal, they never have to create a first-person shooter engine again. Instead, they just need to keep adding new features. Day 1 may need to write a first-person shooter engine, but only because we've never done that before. This is why programmers always want to rewrite everything. Most shipping software is the equivalent of a novelist's first draft.

...and Unreal had been licensing their first person shooter engine since 1996, though it wouldn’t be until two years after this post that they dropped the price on UE3 to the point where hobbyists could afford it, then made UE4 damn near free, to try and grab some of the indy game love that Unity has been getting since its first much-lower-price release in 2005. And don’t forget Id, who’d been licensing their engines since, what, the Doom days?

Big games are still obscene sprawling messes, and so are little games I’m sure, but we are kinda at a point where nobody ever needs to write a FPS engine ever again, unless they specifically think that sounds like a fun project. Or any other kind of basic game format, it’s not like the four people who made Untitled Goose Game had to do much for the initial steps of getting a goose wandering around a 3d modeled world full of objects with a decent caricature of basic physics.

>1. Are the "Progressive Hydration" and "Selective Hydration" related to SSR? I could not find any info on what functionality is hiding behind the terms.

Yea. We'll need to expand the docs on this. Progressive Hydration means React won't block the thread while hydrating HTML. Selective Hydration means you can tell React to prioritize hydrating a particular subtree (e.g. because the user interacted with it).

>2. In general I often find it hard to navigate the API part of the React docs - for example to find the definition of a lifecycle method (for example componentDidUpdate). There is no fast way to get to a single method.

I'm not sure what this means. If I type "componentDidUpdate" in top right search bar, it jumps directly to it.

I think it's okay to procrastinate through something that's s really boring. For the last week I've been wrestling with Webpack because I've told myself that I should really be better at frontend stuff, and Webpack has been blocking me in just including stylesheets, JavaScript, fonts, and including a third party theme. It's not that hard, but it's really boring & frustrating to figure out, and the documentation for static assets in the web framework is quite stale. When. I do start working on it, my attention span wants to go elsewhere pretty fast.

After a week of chipping away at it as I had time and interest, today it clicked and I started to get it. Sticking with it was key. You have to decide for yourself whether whatever you want to learn is worth the pain, but I think it is useful to learn to stick with things long enough to figure them out.
That was really interesting thanks, did not know that. I like a glass of Yamazaki on the rocks but to me Japanese whiskies have always been a little too smooth and balanced to enjoy neat anyway, compared to a lot of Scotch whiskys which have more character and more rough edges.
But you can definitely say "what is the meta information or algorithm to compute X". E.g. Pi is an irrational number, but we have a bunch of ways to specify pi (we just can't explicitly write down the full sequence of numbers). Another interesting thing, while the full sequence is not computable, any particular precision IS computable (ie for any number Y that you can write down exactly, you can compute the Y'th digit of pi).

In case anyone was confused by the article's description, here's the Wikipedia:

"SABRE (Synergetic Air Breathing Rocket Engine) is a concept under development by Reaction Engines Limited for a hypersonic precooled hybrid air-breathing rocket engine. The engine is being designed to achieve single-stage-to-orbit capability, propelling the proposed Skylon spaceplane to low Earth orbit. SABRE is an evolution of Alan Bond's series of liquid air cycle engine (LACE) and LACE-like designs that started in the early/mid-1980s for the HOTOL project.

The design comprises a single combined cycle rocket engine with two modes of operation. The air-breathing mode combines a turbo-compressor with a lightweight air precooler positioned just behind the inlet cone. At high speeds this precooler cools the hot, ram-compressed air, which would otherwise reach a temperature that the engine could not withstand, leading to a very high pressure ratio within the engine. The compressed air is subsequently fed into the rocket combustion chamber where it is ignited along with stored liquid hydrogen. The high pressure ratio allows the engine to provide high thrust at very high speeds and altitudes. The low temperature of the air permits light alloy construction to be employed and allow a very lightweight engine—essential for reaching orbit. In addition, unlike the LACE concept, SABRE's precooler does not liquefy the air, letting it run more efficiently.

After shutting the inlet cone off at Mach 5.14, and at an altitude of 28.5 km, the system continues as a closed-cycle high-performance rocket engine burning liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen from on-board fuel tanks, potentially allowing a hybrid spaceplane concept like Skylon to reach orbital velocity after leaving the atmosphere on a steep climb."

Actually in most of these threads (I've read through a lot of them trying to diagnose my own issues) the google product experts say not to use the disavow tool, lest you accidentally disavow links that may have been helping you. (ie. presumably google is smart enough to ignore those links)

This runs counter to my anecdotal experience, which is that disavowing spam links has an almost immediate effect, if the rank fluctuation is caused by those links.

Tesla was the better engineer; Edison was the better organizer and a great industrialist. At his peak Edison could conceive, plan, and build a significant factory in a week. He didn't personally invent the practical light bulb, but he had 200 people around the world searching for filament materials. Edison could never have achieved what Tesla did, and visa versa.
