Thanks for eventually reading more carefully.

FWIIW I've worked in this field, have written popular articles on Farnsworth and his Fusors, have written popular articles on present day fusion efforts, and will not be convinced by MIT press releases any more than I was the LLNL press releases or anyone else's until they actually start making measurable progress, which nobody has ... in a long time. The most likely useful efforts are at Tri-Alpha, not MIT, and they're about as likely to pan out as I am to find 100lbs of gold outside my front door this evening.
Why Tech and Biotech VCS Talk Past Each Other
For sure I totally see both points to this but from reading the discussion in the issues it looks like there are several very legitimate legal concerns the executives are ignoring to do this. From what I read her objections weren't specific to if this is good or bad for customers, but if it was legal or not. Seems like the legal concerns were just ignored and they decided to move forward without addressing them. I think she even outlines some steps for things they need to do if they plan to move forward but the executive team just rejected the advice completely.
It's not a terribly strong one in engineering, but it's a strong one in politics, because it gives no cover to the people railing against fission over the long-lived waste.

And then you still have all of the usual advantages of nuclear reactors -- low land use, steady power that doesn't depend on weather, etc.
> If these costs are amortized over 10 launches of the SLS vehicle during the 2020, the per-flight cost would be approximately $4 billion per flight.

and they go on to say

>Moreover, this is just for the SLS rocket's core stage, side-mounted boosters, and a basic upper stage. Developing and adding the Exploration Upper Stage will add hundreds of millions of more dollars.

5 billion might be the final dollar figure per launch. I figure Boeing will still be trying to get it off the ground while Elon is sending and landing ships on the Moon or Mars.

Nuts....
"This pattern repeated for almost every language I looked at: it seems to take roughly a decade of quiet, steady improvement and dissemination before a new language really takes off."

It does help when the company who created the language is Google and they start using it in significant products like Kubernetes. :-)
Also note that construction of the plant started in 2007 (ie years before Fukushima and the subsequent decommissioning of some nuclear plants). It was supposed to go online in 2011, but there were legal as well as technical problems that led to a significant delay.
Sorry, I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just argue in order to understand better.
> even if everybody went zero waste today, those landfills would still be emitting large amounts of methane.

If everyone went zero waste then nothing would be added to the landfill, and its methane production would taper out to nothing as a result.
> we are all literally terrified for our jobs

Life as an employee shouldn't be like that. I think GitLab is in a unique situation since a lot of y'all are remote and there aren't a lot of comparable positions available.

We need more remote working opportunities, because when there are just a few, the companies that allow it are able to string along their employees.
About five years ago i have a dream, that i can abandon all this peasant C/C++ development and jump into mono/xamarin train.
As a main product we have Linux ARM/MIPS karaoke machine with optional remote control via desktop/mobile apps.
The idea was to use same code every where.

- Tooling for Linux was horrible, like really!
- Alien mobile UI look and feel
- One can not simple build mobile app for desktop.
- New shiny search engine prototype doesn't fit into low tier Phone RAM.
- Mono Hello world application on MIPS device with 128RAM uses about 28 mb of RAM.
- 400 MHz cpu have really hard times with GC, nogo for soft-realtime.
- No seamless integration with native code, using libs like ffmpeg is crazy hard.
- F# was 2nd citizen in that time!

Now things changed, but still imho Linux is not a good choose for .net, also MS force you to use Azure/Cloud/etc infrastructure.
To be fair; in cattle at least, "shits and giggles" is not an entirely inaccurate description of methane production.
Indeed, I think of those claims as a mixture of optimism, wishful thinking, and marketing drivel. How can someone claim that it lasts for 100 years, unless you have tested that claim by waiting 100 years and then verifying that the data is still there ?

After many years of experience with CD-R and DVD-R, one can say that those disks are good for at least 3 years. But we can only say that because lots of people have successfully read CD-Rs that were 3 years old.

Also, they can sell those "100-year" disks with these claims, and when customers lose data after 5-6 years, the company just says "oh that's too bad, maybe you stored them where the temperature fluctuated by more than +/- 0.1 degrees Celsius ?" and you have no recourse other than not giving them more of your money in the future.
Very misleading title, was hoping for a more substantive read. Kubernetes itself wasn't causing latency issues, it was some config in their auth service and AWS environment.

In the takeaways section, the author blames the issue on merging together complicated software systems. While absolutely true, this isn't specific to k8s at all. To specifically call out k8s as the reason for latency spiking is misleading.
It wasn’t. It was KIAM and the Java SDK, neither of which are part of K8S.

I used to use Cockatrice (https://cockatrice.github.io/) to play with friends online. The interface is a far cry from Wizard's MTG Arena, but you do get to build any deck you want for free.

I'm not sure where to do this, but I'd imagine someone on this subreddit or on their dedicated Cockatrice server can help you https://www.reddit.com/r/Cockatrice/
It is one thing to not believe whatever crap the media is 'shitposting'. It is another to completely dismiss the fundamental science.

The only thing that is questionable in those graphs is the temperature prediction for 2020 to 2025 because we can't see into the future.

Again.. The Taycan video you linked was on a:

1. Closed circular track (Nardò Ring)

2. With a factory crew with engineers

3. Dedicated onsite fast charger

4. Ideal Italian hot weather. EV's fare better in hot compared to cold climate.

VS

1. Bjørn's tests that are on open roads

2. With detours

3. Colder climate

4. Had to slow down due to heavy rain.

Sorry but you fell for a marketing hype.. Link me a video of the Taycan doing that and I will eat a humble pie.

> And not a Model S but a Model 3. Too bad.

The Model S can now do 373mi compared to 322mi on the Model 3. You honestly think (without any bias) that the Model S won't fare better?
In my opinion courses wouldn't change behavior, modern computer science is designed to infantalize coders and make them interchangeable. Think of all the effort startups put into marketing themselves as "COOL TO WORK FOR"/"WE HAVE BEER ON FRIDAYS". These reinforce the idea that you are small and need management to tell you exactly what to do everyday, because you're a dumb idiot who spends all day watching anime and playing video games.

In that environment, serious ethical concerns could easily be brushed aside as "coders just being coders". When Google got found out for making drones, the employees of a company staged a 5 minute walkout.... that was it, I'm sure some people quit, but not enough to make any impact
These statistics don’t take into account things like the disproportionately high cost of healthcare in the US, so percentage of dollars spent isn’t an especially meaningful measure. Social Security payments maybe, but you would have to compare relative age of populations and account for how the wealthy escape paying into the system at anything like a progressive level.

As this article demonstrates, Americans are great at paying out lots of money into private systems without receiving good material returns on these investments. By contrast, for example, my great grandmother in the UK paid into various state taxes regimes all her life. In return, she received very good quality healthcare, home care and long term care in old age, and social housing after the death of her husband. She was a working class person who suffered a lot of hardship, but lived to be 99. In the US, she probably would’ve ended up bankrupt and dead on the street much earlier.

It's not a binary question. Here are some alternative questions:

1. At what rate is global warming happening?

2. How do current temperature trends compare to historical data?

3. What is the list of causes that may contribute to current trends, and how much influence does each cause have?

4. What are the implications if the current trend continues for 100 years?

5. What are the possible responses, how much does each cost, and how how many degrees temperature reduction do we estimate for each?
Ask HN: An org-mode inspired outliner for the web?
Hi I am building an outliner inspired by org-mode/workflowy, it has a emacs like mini buffer for commands, and when it is finished it would have a shared list with GitHub integration so when you push a commit it would be automatically referenced in with the todo item.

Also one would be able to communicate with the peers they shared the todo lists with using chat. Other bits of nuggets like split buffers to view two separate lists or calendar etc thrown in.

Its a work in progress but some blueprints can be seen here http://centerspot.io

Your thoughts?
> why not answer mine instead of offering up evasions?

You should follow your own advice. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Blog author here. As a native app developer, I would say that the trade off is similar to developing an app on native Android vs. native iOS.

You inevitably must solve problems on Android that iOS has not yet solved (or are trivially easy to do) and vice versa, but each framework also has its own strengths that come with it.

React Native is no different in this regard. We sometimes solve different problems that occasionally area easier to do on Native (although as mentioned by this post, this is the first time in years we've actually had to sit down and focus on performance).

That being said, some of the pros are that we save a tremendous amount of time through code sharing, web team contributions, etc.
Okay, great read. But here's my take on it.

Knowledge =/=> Books

Teaching =/=> Understanding

Money =/=> Education

Monetization =/=> Engagement

Wish more people thought about it that way. Especially in the publishing industry.
They probably used AI to generate the new name :()

Lots of good technical advice has been given and I won't rehash that, but I think there are lots of other methods you'll need to consider, too.

1) Time of publish. You'll want to make sure the times you publish entries are random and can't be correlated with things you are doing. If you take a vacation, you'll need entries going up.

2) How you write. You'll want to ensure your writing isn't too similar to your own. Either have others write it, excessively use synonym dictionaries, or introduce writing styles and elements exclusively to the posts you write.

3) What you write about. It should be as diverse as possible. If you only write about one topic, or clearly have a bias for one topic, then it is easier to pin down your interests and focus searches against you to that. Write about cooking, about programming, about art, about politics, etc. Even if you hate or aren't good at it.

4) Fabricate entries. You'll want to write about topics you dislike, or topics you don't believe in or about places you have never been. Reference dates and times that would be impossible with your schedule, your income, your skills, or your connections. For areas you are most versed in, introduce simple errors to reduce your apparent expertise. In areas you are most ignorant, plagiarize from experts in a non-obvious way to fake expertise.

5) Write in only your native language so as to not giveaway where you learned some other language. If this isn't enough, then run your writing through an automatic translator each time into some other language you might know and only do a light touch up of the most egregious errors.

You kind of get the drift. Lots of people here can give technical advice, but that is always one slip-up from going wrong and you getting caught. Having lots of disinformation and mixed information in the blog itself can help provide cover and deniability.

The repo is calling it bad, but in production I'd actually prefer a parser that throws an approptiate error based on a setting that can be configured with some reasonable defaults over something that just silently chugging along until it runs out of memory.

I can imagine it'd be a lot easier to overwhelm and DDoS a server that attempts to parse incoming JSON requests without any depth bounds too.

Maybe that's true in Germany. I don't think corporations are as powerful there as in the US.

80/20 rule [1] strikes again?

It's unlikely that a company needs to invest in data scientists or even thinking very hard about their data organization until the scale of their data is already pushing the bounds of what most RDMMSs can handle. NoSQL is nice if you are planning for scale, since it will seamlessly get big without much thought or any significant changes to the performance. There are no "gotchas" that will cause very long-running queries or that will lock a huge number of rows, so performance is very good and most importantly very stable. This is largely due to the fact that you have to think more deeply about your data access plan up front, since almost any query is a table scan (which, ideally, never happens). I think that this is secretly a benefit in that it forces people not to perform ad-hoc queries on databases, and to think of their databases in terms of the APIs that they have built over their databases, because the databases are not going to efficiently support any other sort of access than the access plans included to support those APIs. I would lean in favor of a NoSQL database to back a production networked service because the upsides are helpful in this case (stable performance, easy to scale) and the downsides are not significant (have to plan your APIs up front -> going to do that already, no ad-hoc queries -> not going to run ad-hoc queries on a production database anyway).
It will give you lots of insight when planning your data models/tables.
What a great read! Stasis is one of my all time favourite pieces of MtG art, although there are definitely people who feel the opposite. To me it perfectly encapsulates what the card does, and as someone who at age 12 lost his first game at a 'real' Magic tournament to a Stasis deck the card is a special memory for me. Although the game has moved towards being very cohesive with its art, I actually liked it when there were many cards whose artwork didn't really fit into the canon of the game, in some way it made the game's world feel even bigger.

Your value as a human being isn't dependent on your coding ability. It sounds stupid and trite, but it's true. A lot of these types of insecurities arise because we allow things access to our self worth that we shouldn't. Letting other people's opinions affect your core self worth is like giving them root access to your computer and letting them write directly to /

And I think in this analogy having thick skin is kind of like a firewall, it'll keep things out, but it's often just security theatre.

It makes sense to give other people access to your computer. The world is boring as a singleplayer game, but how much access is the right amount? It's worth thinking deeply about where your self worth is stored and who and what in your life has r/w privileges.

Also, this may sound really out there, but if you don't have a good basis for self worth/self love, but if you can figure out the right way to frame it, consider asking your parents or other close friends why they love you. It's a very on the spot kind of question so don't put any value on if they don't answer, but I asked my mom that once when I was in a really dark place(and we don't have a very good relationship) and I was really blown away by her answer to the question. She straightforwardly listed all the positive qualities she admired in me and asking her that was probably one of the best decisions I ever made. It really improved our relationship and probably forever positively impacted my view of myself.
Yes.

But guess what, it works the other way too.

I grew up poor. Lucky to have a roof over my head. In a town where the local pasttime is hanging out in the Walmart parking lot and doing heroin.

Then I got a job at a big tech company. I had to beg and borrow just to move out here because it's so expensive to relocate. If I didn't have a friend out here, I would have had to sleep in the office until my first pay check (yeah it's fucked up).

Now my life and family are in a massively better place.

So what's the solution to homelessness? Relocate and/or retrain. It takes a lot of effort, but it's the only thing that works in a capitalistic country.
