The first compilation is highly selective (what are those Swedish Environmental Management Council sources for example? None of them are available and all lead to a page that is not the SEM council) in it's sources and would not even closely cover either the statement "pro nuclear" nor any "majority" and it's been selected for this publication by the World Nuclear Association...

The second one consist sentences like: "Increasing the installed capacity of RE power plants will reduce the amount of fossil and nuclear fuels that otherwise would be needed in order to meet a given electricity demand." or "There are multiple means for lowering GHG emissions from the energy system while still providing desired energy services." where nuclear is just one option among many others or "There have been significant power reductions from nuclear and coal plants during drought conditions in the USA and France in recent years." and so on. The focus is clearly on RE and I don't see a clear "pro nuclear" message there.

The third one is focused on emissions based upon unnamed sources from an unknown time range (which is relevant for RE as there is rapid development unlike in nuclear) ignoring relevant topics like nuclear waste management (https://worldnuclearwastereport.org/) and seems to end up being pro wind. I tried to find some more data on nuclear energy on their page but it seems they are not considering it at all: https://www.nrel.gov/research/data-tools.html

So yeah, you could provide something that focuses on that "majority" and "pro nuclear" parts. That would be nice. And please spare me nuclear lobby groups. We had enough of their marketing efforts in the recent months here.
Most “serious” parties and companies want this. They want power, and that’s sheer power, as long as they get to control it.

It’s like the poor guy encouraging tax cuts because one day he’ll be rich and don’t want to keep his money when he’ll finally make it out.
What most sites call a "password" is really just a cached email challenge. Tweak this so it generates a new token on every challenge, and it's actually pretty slick. If the service is compromised such that the userdb is copied, they can just wipe the whole cache.

The biggest sin here is inventing a new method, requiring actual analysis of its properties. The indignation from the cargo cult is a bonus though. Most of the upset is probably from people being prevented from setting their password to the same one they use on every other site.
And i think the objection is partially because that is easy to abuse. "overheard"
"An APL is a very compact programming language" is grammatically incorrect.

"An A Programming Language is a very compact programming language."

Exactly this.

Commissary/co-op kitchens already accomplish this, without wrecking the food trucks themselves. In places where trucks are already common, cloud kitchens do nothing but raise rents on the same spaces that trucks already try to afford.

The data mining angles of cloud kitchens, particularly around neighborhood demographics and real estate valuation, need much more critical examination than they're getting.

APL espouses the mindset that, like human languages, it can be learned, and does away with resemblance to some other (human) language as the case may be for a lot of other languages following the FORTRAN/COBOL/Algol/C lineage. Even within those languages, "readability" is highly subjective. For example, I'm not an APL developer (I mainly use C), and find the "modern" trend of ExtremelyLongIdentifiersNamedLikeThis to be irritatingly "fluffy" and verbose, preferring the "humble" and more concise style exemplified by early UNIX and current BSD, while a lot of others find the latter "unreadable" in preference of the former.

I wonder if people with CJK as their primary (human) language find APL easier to understand than those whose human language is basically within Latin-1.

Coincidentally, the first one is also valid C and a lot of C-like languages too, and I recognised it at once.

Summary

Arguments that renewable energy isn't up to the task because "the Sun doesn't shine at night and the wind doesn't blow all the time" are overly simplistic.

There are a number of renewable energy technologies which can supply baseload power. The intermittency of other sources such as wind and solar photovoltaic can be addressed by interconnecting power plants which are widely geographically distributed, and by coupling them with peak-load plants such as gas turbines fueled by biofuels or natural gas which can quickly be switched on to fill in gaps of low wind or solar production. Numerous regional and global case studies – some incorporating modeling to demonstrate their feasibility – have provided plausible plans to meet 100% of energy demand with renewable sources.

The thing that most forget: it is impossible to estimate. So don't do it. Charge by period and keep communication to the client what you did in that time. Give them confidence that you provide them company value for the time they pay you.
Yeah, such projects happen and it always surprises me - why can't such shops find in-house devs (with regular salaries) for such projects?
You present them to a human. Cory Doctorow has written some fiction about it lately. It's called Affordances I think.
Kind of.

First of all there are many JVM implementations, the commercial ones used to offer AOT compilation as well, going back to early 2000.

Then the ones that have JITs offer multiple flavours.

One way is to initially interpret the bytecodes, after enough information it is gathered, the first level JIT gets into action and compiles that block into native code, here block is usually a function, but can be something else.

This first level compiler is rather simple and does only basic optimizations.

The application keeps profiling execution and eventually notices that the already compiled block (into native code) keeps being used significantly, now it is time to bring the big brother JIT, which is somehow equivalent to -O3 on gcc, and recompile again to native code using all major optimizations.

Other JVMs (like JRockit) never interpret, when they start the first level is already the dumb level one compiler to native code.

Then all of them now support JIT caches, meaning after a run, the JITed methods get saved and re-used by next execution, so the profiler gets to learn from previous runs, and execution of the system already starts from a much better performance state.
Now that drones are set to completely dominate the arena and shielding is no longer a concern, nuclear propulsion is going to come back.

Russia is already doing it with the Skyfall missile.

Having a weapon or an attack craft with practically unlimited range and endurance is too tempting a capability to not develop.

I'm sure Lockheed and co are dreaming up large nuclear powered flying carriers which deliver swarms of smaller drones and standoff missiles anywhere on earth in a few hours.
> Examining the lives of successful entrepreneurs teaches us very little. We would do far better to analyze the causes of failure, then act accordingly. Even better would be learning from both failures and successes.

Any recommendations (books, blogs etc.) on material that actually does this? The one business book that comes to mind is "Business Adventures" by John Brooks [1], which ironically might be as popular as it is because it's one of Bill Gates' favourite business books.

All the points you make here are true, but I just have this bias against food made by corporations.

They don't prioritise their users high enough for me to trust them with what I put inside myself.

I'd much rather order from a local mom pop style place whose owners I can reach if I had to.
I also recommend Pimsleur. Unlike with Duolingo, I feel like I can actually produce new sentences with the constructions that I've practiced with Pimsleur. Of course, Duolingo covers more vocabulary, but with Pimsleur I feel like I can actually speak the words and produce new sentences, not just type/recognise them.

(I've also heard Assimil is a good alternative to Pimsleur.)

Well there are people who believe this and others who believe that ... as I said - very strong opinions (like yours) on both sides of the aisle even internally.

Carbs aren’t bad and protein isn’t some miracle. First I’ve heard of proteins being a source of antioxidants if carbs can’t be their source. Really colorful things like the skin of blueberries tend to be the highest sources of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Also is there some dietary source of telomeres? Slightly sarcastic there...

“How not to die” really combined a lot of knowledge, including dietary knowledge, into one place. Netflix’s “the game changers” was cool, too.

I spend/spent a lot of time on nutritional information sites like the SELF or nutritional value org site. I research ingredients and recipes that way to make dietary choices. It’s the pretty “boring”, uncontested data in the dietary mine field.

General trends include Whole foods tend to have the highest concentrations of nutrients per calorie. Stay away from processed foods like white sugar, white flour, etc.
Would their interpretation would be correct for the HotSpot JVM? (As in does HotSpot start with interpretation and JIT "hot" code?)

There's a huge difference between the acute inflammatory response (obviously good and necessary for life) and chronic inflammation (very bad).

The biology is hideously complex and not well understood. This past year I've gone through thousands of paper and feel like I'm just getting a real handle on how little is known. Mechanisms (not to mention downstream effects) for some of the most widely and commonly used medications are practically medical mysteries and new metabolic pathways are discovered basically daily.

Luckily almost all of the peer-reviewed primary literature is indexed on PubMed, and you can use ResearchGate, Altmetric, etc to help prioritize your research. Once you start reading you'll see that there's tons of conflict and disagreement.

If you're looking for something a step up from pop journalism (which is terribad), you can start with sites like Examine or Health Line which at least give proper citations, but in the end, I suspect you're just going to need to do your own spelunking and come to your own conclusions because the quality of life-sciences research is quite frankly... uneven at best. Nutritional research is particularly bad.

Chronic inflammation is definitely turning out to be a topic of great interest lately. Here's some starting points (you can follow the citation chain if you actually care):

It's awful indeed. As a European citizen I am very much in favor of geographical marking of specialties (and I don't see why that wouldn't be beneficial to US agriculture either), but certainly do not extend that opinion to upload filters. Or dropping daylight savings time for that matter.
Per day, week (better), month (even better) - and it should NOT be assumed that you work "full-time" (i.e. 8h per day). With this setup - you untie your work from exact hours spent, and retain the flexibility of adding more days/weeks/months to the bill if there is more work than expected.

The real story is that XTX is primarily a currency trader. Unlike stocks, futures or options, currencies aren't tied to a single exchange. If you want to go out and change your dollars to yen, there's not a single venue or even federated system for doing that.

If you go out and build an amazing strategy for, say, index futures, all you have to do is set up an account at the futures exchange. If you make a bunch of money the exchange doesn't care. The exchange isn't your counterparty, so your profits don't come at their expense. They're just happy to execute the volume.

Whereas with currency, most trades are done through over-the-counter "liquidity providers" (LP), traditionally major international banks. If you make too much money, the LPs get pissed off. Since they're acting as your direct counterparty, your profit comes at their expense. Consequently, a great trading system alone isn't worth that much in currency space. If you make too much money, you'll just get banned from all the LPs.

Like many others who tried to break into the space, XTX already had great HFT trading models. But their real innovation become an LP themselves. Rather than beg the major banking franchises to give them a seat at their table, they went out and built their own. That required creating business relationships with upstream sources of order flow, like retail forex brokers.

That customer base gave them the capability to capture market share without worrying about counterparty risk. Combined with their superior HFT models, it gives them a major edge over traditional banks and LPs. They can offer tighter spreads and still make a profit at a price point that their competitors can't.

Indeed, postgres doesn’t allow this. I expected it to work, as I’ve used this quite often with Oracle.
When will we have a proper LSP implementation for Kotlin that is maintained not by a single person but a full blown team?

JetBrains is very short-sighted about this[1], putting their own IDE-s success over the success of Kotlin: not healthy for the language if you ask me.

A lot of developers using Kotlin are also gaslighting everyone who doesn't want to use IntelliJ for Kotlin as if using the editor of your choosing is some sort of madness.

Kotlin needs to be a foundation, it clearly has a big community to drive the language and its accompanying tooling and integrations. Kotlin needs to be completely decoupled from JetBrains to succeed outside the JVM/java legacy areas.

What Is a Calorie?
I never had problems finding a job, but I was really bad at finding good clients.

I especially hate, when I've been brought in for my expertise and I tell them what they should do with the least risk and best outcome and they refuse, because no. I realize there might be some important technical constraint I might not know about, but most of the time they just want to respect something their boss said once, some constraint that wasn't that important at all but makes my work 10x more complicated.
This is our anti-tracking tech we include in the Cliqz browser and also in the Ghostery Extension. We have another post lined up in the series on this (in a couple of weeks), but it's also been described in our blog posts[1] and our 2016 paper[2].

They are probably swamped with processes, fires and Scrum meetings so the developers have no agent to just concentrate and do something.
Cool idea! I like seeing tagging implementations that try to leverage the filesystem.
Charging too little.
I've started accepting BAT since January, and so far has received about ~35 BAT ($9.00) on my ~1 million pageview website. I have not done anything to promote Brave on the site (basically verify the website with Brave and that's it) so actually getting paid is quite surprising.

I'm using Firefox as my primary browser, though.
As freelancer or as a consultant? As a freelancer i once didn't stop working for a client who didn't pay for a month. Because we cooperated for a year and good contact with him. I never got these money back.

In my case, I start by telling my friends and people I was working with that I'm now available for consulting gigs. Eventually, one person (who know my works) recommended me to their friends. I did some projects for them, and they like my works so they recommend me to their friends, and so on.

My wife also like to talk about what I do to her clients (she was a consultant working on a big consulting company, different field), leading to more projects.
This was a great post with references to many tricks and tools I was not aware of that might help me in similar endeavors. Do you have any particular advice for reverse engineering image data files (not encrypted, of a completely proprietary format)?

Duolingo got me up to about B1 German; I’ve been continuing with it (for practice), Clozemaster (for vocabulary and a much broader range of example sentences), and German language news podcasts specifically aimed at language learners (to get a broader range of voices with easy content).

I’m also using Duolingo for Esperanto and Greek, and I don’t feel like it’s teaching me either of those languages to the same standard it taught me German.

Nevertheless, it’s good enough for me to subscribe.
Sleep (and related, circadian health) are some super interesting topics of emerging research. For those that like books, there are two recent ones written by researchers in the field. Matthew Walker's Why We Sleep, and Satchin Panda's Circadian Code that are pretty breezy reads. (there are YouTube interviews and TED talks as well):

For those that prefer more succinct reviews and want to spelunk citations, these are a couple good starting points:
