I've been learning and using Julia the last few weeks (coming from an OOP background). I highly recommend it.

There's something to be said for the USSR's old "Dead Hand" system.[1] This is often misunderstood. It's not a "doomsday machine". The idea was that the Premier of the USSR did not have the authority to launch a nuclear first strike. That authority belonged to the Politburo. (They'd survived Stalin; they didn't want a dictator again.) So the USSR built a system to enforce that policy.

The Premier could only activate the "Dead Hand" system, which allowed a launch only after 1) nuclear explosions had been detected near Moscow, and 2) communications had been lost with the General Staff bunkers. Even then, all it did was give the codes and authority to regional commanders to launch. So the Premier could effectively order a retaliation strike, but not a first strike.

This is tighter control than the US had, or has. Not only does the US president have launch authority without congressional approval, there was a period during which SAC had their bombs set to an arming code of all zeros, so that they could drop them without authority from higher.

What's your point? My point was that hunting & gathering is not less risky than agriculture. Your comment would support that statement.
> this narrative of the demise of nuclear energy largely being politically motivated

It's politically motivated to the extent that people are scared of nuclear and any political move to support it or finance research could be career suicide. Without any attempt to research improvements we are stuck using old technology and anyone advocating against nuclear power has good reason to keep doing so. It's a bit of a vicious cycle where the only way to break it is to hope for some unexpected breakthrough.
Agree like 80% here. I'd add that:

Hydro: when, especially when used on rivers near coasts with migrating fish--isn't the panacea it was historically thought to be--it ruins the flow of nutrient-rich silt that feeds carbon-capturing flora and cuts off nutrients to small fish which hurts big fish and apex predators.

Tidal: though great in theory--can do a lot of harm when installed naively on the coast in the middle of sensitive ecosystems--though I think some of the experimental deeper, further-offshore installations might mitigate that.

Nuclear: I think we biffed this one for decades--and though the technology is there to make it work. There sadly just isn't enough political and public support anymore. Not to mention to scale up 100s of billions or trillions of dollars of nuclear plants could easily take 20-30 years--time that I don't think we have.

Geo: Works great but only in specific regions.

That leaves solar and wind as the biggest options that we can scale up quickly and can likely get political and public support for. N. Europe is killing it with its MASSIVE offshore wind installations and thank goodness solar continues to fall in price. In the US, anyway, I think the right liberal leadership could budget big for this and tackle a big chunk of the problem in 10 years. But, King Cheeto Fucktard is going to have to be out before that will happen meaningfully with Federal mondy. C'est la vie...
The problem is how much this is a zero sum game. The $2B invested in the "second best solution" isn't invested in the "third best solution". The arguments above include:

A) What metric are we ordering "second best" by. If it's Carbon and/or Methane (and it should be in discussion of climate impact), natural gas is never our "second best solution" and absolutely a red herring or distraction.

B) This is especially true on the longer time horizon in both cases in both directions as being a worryingly zero-sum game, because 1) today's billion dollar investment is tomorrow's entrenched sunk costs, and 2) without some huge advances in carbon and/or methane capture we can't "take back" emissions and in long term climate control every molecule of carbon/methane we don't produce matters (not even just ASAP, but starting four decades ago when scientists first started warning everyone about this stuff).
That's just fundamental. In the golden age of VLSI scaling, from 1985 to 2003[1] or so, we really were seeing that doubling of transistor density with every 1.5-2 year generation, and the shrinking transistors were getting faster more or less linearly with size, leading to a quadratic improvement over time. Those days are almost two decades in the past, and they aren't coming back, ever.

We happen to be seeing a bump right now due to AMD migrating across two process nodes at once (and Intel having fallen a little behind), but that's just an instantaneous thing. The days of the 486 are still gone.

[1] My own dates. I'm bounding this roughly by the point where EDA tools caught up with process improvements (allowing straightforward die shrinks and scaling of logic) and the end of "free" frequency scaling due to thermal and power limits. Someone else probably has a different definition. Fight me.
The group web page is here: https://circuit-switching.sysnet.ucsd.edu/

Corundum was originally geared more towards optical circuit switching applications, but it's certainly not limited to that. Since it's open source, the transmit scheduler can be swapped out for all sorts of NIC and protocol related research.
Quickly is a relative term. Methane won't exist for millennia like CO2, but it will contribute to positive feedback loops in the coming decades in the climate that lead to further warming. Ideally, gas should be deployed as a transitional and backup energy source; let's use it to kill coal, then let's use it as flexible generation once renewables are much higher %. This is assuming batteries and other storage don't ramp quickly enough.

Okay, so whoever wrote the text for your website is a liar.

From your website:

You said:

> Your family have a shared photo album

> Your devices(mobile+desktop) share your private files

> Later we will provide an option to buy more backup space on our nodes to pin your encrypted data

So, it's not free. I'm paying for storage one way or another -- either by keeping it all on my always-on devices, or by paying you to pin it.

From your website:

You said:

So, when I'm not on the same LAN as the computer, Anytype is not only _not_ peer-to-peer by default, but also Anytype gets to see when people write data and learn how much data they wrote.

Finland has always prepared to defend a Russian attack alone, for obvious historical reasons.

There's a lot of overlap ideologically. One major difference is that I'm an IDE fan and Jonathan dislikes IDEs. That can really percolate through a language.

I suggest you google Iran and Hezbollah. Iran is 100% a terrorist state and a horrible country ruled by evil people.

And I never said the US was pristine. The entire Middle East is fucked up because of the US. US fucked up Persians by helping overthrow the Shah. As far as I'm concerned, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Rumsfeld should be tried on crimes against humanity. Trump is a moron and a despot but he is only the second worst US president in my opinion.

But they are all better than the current government of Iran.
I wish I had known about D 10 years ago. It's everything I ever wanted out of an LLVM language, but I feel like it's dying and the package ecosystem is tiny, which is crazy with how old it is. What they need is some new web design and docs and exciting stuff to make it feel like a new language so people recognize how truly awesome it is :/
I don't have a good resource, but having just finished a small C-compiler myself[0] after previously getting stuck on the codegen part, I have a few suggestions:

Keep it simple and focus on making it composable. By that I mean if you're targeting x86 keep the current value in [r|e]ax (forget about non-integer stuff for now :), if it's a stack based VM: focus on the stack top. A numeric literal loads [r|e]ax (or pushes it on the stack). Binary operators first pushes computes the lhs; pushes the result; computes rhs, combines and leaves the result in [r|e]ax (or the stack top).

Output to some kind of text format and lean on existing tools. It's probably not a bad idea to output C, LLVM bitcode, JVM/.NET bytecode or x86 assembly at first rather than going all the way to machine code starting out.

Postpone thinking about optimizations and reduce your level of ambition. All of my previous attempts at finishing compiler projects failed because the complexity got out of hand. For instance in a C compiler don't try to optimize expressions of smaller-than-int types. Maybe all expressions in your language can be calculated using doubles?

Finally as GP says: You need to be comfortable with the output language (assembly or otherwise). Study the output of similar compilers and translate code by hand into assembly to get a feel of what your compiler should be doing.

Fortunately (in this case), knowledge and technology isn't permanent - it takes a lot of work to maintain. Unless they have secretly trained scientists and engineers, and maintain secret facilities for most of the supply chain, they've probably lost the ability to make a nuclear weapon by now.
Morality is not a feature of the Streisand effect, it merely describes a cause and effect relationship: the act of attempting to conceal something causing it to become more widely known that it would have if not for the attempt to conceal it.

Morality doesn't enter in to it.

In the original case, if Streisand had done nothing, far fewer people would have seen the photos than actually did despite her actions.
It's really nice to see LIDAR getting cheap I've wanted to play around with them for ages but the buy-in for anything other than cheap 2d units has always been way too high for me to justify. I do wish there were at least a few specs in this though.
Or imagine a woman who has children out of wedlock, causing financial distress. Obviously, if she's not institutionalized she'll continue to have children out of wedlock, which will cause her condition to worsen.

And only a mentally ill person would have children out of wedlock, right?

And before you say that that's unrealistic... I'm pretty sure that that exact logic was used to institutionalize people in the US back in the 20s and 30s.
They're different because they have compassion and empathy? Yeah we could have that too if this toxic, hateful, cruel attitude you describe didn't exist.
Taking the notes help me learn. I'm also the forgetful type so I have trouble remembering the details of a lecture after the fact.

Writing by hand is slow for me, though, so I found myself paying attention more to the note-taking than the lecture.

Taking notes via laptop was a game changer for me. I could take voluminous notes and keep up with the lecturer. It was wonderful! Not all upside, of course, as laptops come with their own problems, the biggest probably being ease of distraction, but I think it was a net benefit for me.
D is not different enough from C++.

(Comment I made on another thread recently):

I switched to Firefox from Chrome a couple of months ago. The sole motivation was the fiasco that ensued after Google decided to mingle Chrome Sync login with accounts.google.com cookies - there is simply no way to sign in to Chrome Sync without creating browser cookies for the same account. I wanted the benefit of saving and syncing bookmarks and extensions across my chrome installations, but I did not want to be tracked across the web with my logged in Google identity and the Chrome changes for "Identity consistency between browser and cookie jar" made it impossible. It was time to move on from Chrome.

And I have been very pleased with the new Firefox. Highly recommend it to everyone!

Mellanox NICs (and basically all commercial NICs) do not do what we want. Software is not precise enough, and is on the wrong side of the NIC hardware queues. The whole point of Corundum is to get control of the hardware transmit scheduler on the NIC itself.
That's good advice, but in all practical situations I have been able to use Vim directly or know enough vi to get by, though I am much less comfortable with it.

> a little better from a direct carbon emission point of view.

Usually I'm on your side about these things, but I was surprised by your comment. Here's the IPCC numbers [0]. Natural gas has about half the emissions that coal does. With CCS it almost gets to the levels of renewables and nuclear. I'm not saying this should be a long term solution or even endorsing this solution. But natural gas is definitely more than a little better than coal in terms of climate.

> This is overall not a good story for climate as we lock in gas plants for decades.

I do agree with this point, mostly. We can still push for CCS additions to already operating plants. I know you know better than most that renewables don't work as effectively everywhere and batteries are there for long term solutions (though clearly we're building gas where we don't have to and that IS a big problem). I also know you're an expert when it comes to understanding nuclear.

As for energy, we need more of it. If we can't build new renewables or nuclear, I'll take a new gas plant over a new coal plant any day. I do think everyone here is in agreement that we'd rather have renewables though (and several also want nuclear).

What you're talking about is HS, they're never going to make high end MacBooks use ARM, at least not in the following years to come.
That's a good point. So maybe all they should find is a cheap RasPi and the cheapest NAS and wifi AP you can find.

"If that saying doesn’t convince you of the fatuousness of left vs. right labels"

It reminds me of how fatuous Nassim Taleb can be, certainly. That quote basically deletes any historical context and actual belief held by those groups. It reduces the actual differences that they have to a bumper sticker level of depth.

Not trying to be insulting or anything, I just don't find it that helpful, and I'm also not particularly a fan of Taleb.

Oh for sure - I'm not using .NET/VS anymore different clients and all, and I think the team stripped out the F# tests out of the solution - just saying it couldn't have been the thing fixed 3 years ago.
It's still in development at the moment. We'll see about the interface. But there are no plans to implement any segmentation offloads or TOE in Corundum, that will be left up to the network stack. However, scatter/gather DMA support is planned so that software GSO will work. Right now, most of the low-level twiddling is done from a user space app that directly accesses device registers. For a research device, that's fine, but that would obviously have to be improved for a commercial product.

Germany has invested zillions in Nuclear. Breeder technology, Thorium pebble bed reactor, storage sites...

Failed costly experiments. Nuclear is simply not cost effective in a democratic society.
It's not just a "little better" on CO2 emissions, it emits half the amount of CO2 that coal does per unit energy. That's pretty significant.
Ask HN: Is FounderSuite a good way to raise capital?
If you are not connected and don't have a good network raising capital can be daunting, if not impossible.

I came across FounderSuite, which looks interesting. However the question is: Are these tools and similar sites actually useful or are they just another way to waste time and money? I don't have a problem buying a subscription to anything but it has to have a reasonable ROI (defined as greater than zero).

Any other sites/services I should consider?

We already have some traction by contacting VC (cold emails) via LinkedIn. Just looking for a way to expand the search space and have a better way to manage the process.

The whole driving mantra of being "agile" is less process and overhead. Scrum is presumably a method of achieving it.

A scrum master is a full-time person dedicated to managing a process designed to eliminate process.

Regardless of how effective or ineffective scrum or a scrum master can be in reality, the fact that the position even exists is ironic. And a good signal that most formal agile implementations are cargo cults.
You appear to be alluding to James Scott’s "Against The Grain". I do not agree with the hypothesis of that book, for reasons I'm too lazy to write down here. Sorry :-(

Some people asked about programming language - its golang and python. Generally, we are hiring great engs with expertise in any language/techstack.
Even ignoring that we have a well known, much more renewable option on the table (nuclear), it is a technical gap that is also rapidly shrinking from advancements in storage tech (batteries and hydrogen fuel cells).
Others have additionally already pointed out how Finland isn't in NATO either. The defence doesn't expect or imagine US intervention, but also doesn't expect a nuke attack. Defence matching the threat, full conscription and modern cost-conscious armament purchases to counter the long land border with Russia.
I think the graph itself is useful for that exact reason. It lets us see the the specific model assumptions and generate the testable conditions.
Hydro also destroys ecosystems since it requires damming rivers and creating a reservoir. It's also quite risky, since when poorly maintained a structural collapse can kill thousands of people downstream. This has happened in China and California came really close to creating a man-made disaster only a few years ago.

Neat! Old-timers may recall this composite pattern and inter-pixel artifacting was how Tandy Coco games achieved limited colours in PMODE 4. They've really taken this to the ultimate level.
