Upstream isn't responsive. I have had a bug open with them about broken TAP mode routing for years, with patch, and they've ignored it.

After seeing the codebase, I'm a lot warier of using OpenVPN. It's quite a mess. I'm personally looking forward to WireGuard becoming the standard, but I'm glad to see an OpenVPN fork. These things, even if they don't replace upstream, tend to motivate them to stop dragging their feet.

There has been significant R&D in all directions in nuclear in the past decades. Even if something would come out of the current development it's slow and expansive. Too slow and expansive compared to the rapid development in renewables to justify throwing even more money on it. Those funds are much better invested in renewables which is why only those few you hear about do invest in it.
"What should we fear more: inevitable global climate change or the regional dangers associated with a possible reactor meltdown?"

But earlier in the article, the author said:

"There is one thing almost all model calculations do agree on: Moving forward, the majority of electricity will be supplied by a mix of solar, biomass, wind and hydro power."

So if the majority of power will be non-nuclear, how is nuclear supposed to prevent inevitable global climate change? And why aren't we just pushing to go for 100% non-nuclear and non-fossil fuel energy? Why is that not an option?

In another part of the article, they say "Qvist believes the lower costs are the primary advantage offered by the smaller nuclear power plants."

So even according to this pro-nuclear consultant, the primary advantage of nuclear is not its ability to prevent inevitable global climate change.

There are some other important things this article does not touch on, one of them being the gross mismanagement of Chernobyl and Fukushima, and the record of nuclear power companies and corrupt regulators not taking safety seriously enough, leading to accidents.

You can have the best technology in the world, but when the companies managing these plants cut corners and don't prioritize safety the ostensibly wonderful technology might be broken, missing, inactive, or inadequate when its needed most. Fukushima and Chernobyl were cases in point.

I'd also take authoritative-sounding pronouncements on the safety of nuclear power in threads like these with a couple of grains of salt.

I remember paying close attention on HN when the Fukushima accident was under way, and there were plenty of people on HN and elsewhere swearing that the Fukushima reactor would never melt down, that it was designed to prevent just such a meltdown. It melted down nevertheless.

> They (the State prosecutors) have every right to collect and gather evidence to build the case.

They should have the right to do it. Actually doing it should be as difficult as humanly possible. It should not be as easy as sending a letter to Google and getting a suspect's entire life records in return.
Before some one comes up with the baseload story:

https://skepticalscience.com/print.php?r=374

> 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.

If you piled all 10K tonnes in one place it would a cube less than 20m per side. All the 'highly radioactive waste' for Germany's entire nuclear industry for all of time up until now? That's very little.

The EU Commission reports that in Germany 583 kilograms of waste is produced per person annually. So it takes only ~17,000 Germans to produce 10,000 tonnes of normal waste per year.
There are too many problems with this study:

> The dieters weren’t strictly monitored or required to stick to a rigid plan

I would have expected participants to keep log of what they eat at very least.

Further, the body of a person in 20s and 40s work very differently when it comes to the diet. Person in 20s typically have much better insulin sensitivity and has much better chance of regulating weight while many in 40s might be on a path to a diabetic experiencing "sticky weight". These two groups should never be mixed in diet studies.

Also the study says that participants had 500 calories less each day which should have been the controlled variable. The high-fat diet might not help lose fat but can greatly reduce insulin spikes. So this should be reported as well.

If it targets desktop OSes or mainstream mobile devices, it's not real-time. Those appear to be JUCE's targets.

I guess in the modern era of Web devs redefining established terminology, I should say I want a hard real-time system.

I want guarantees audio will not glitch, not reasonably good odds everything will be okay if I turn off networking, only use plugins from developers who know how to write safeish code on desktop OSes, kill all nonessential programs, and pray.

Similarly, I want the engine to be able to tell me what it can do on the hardware hosting it.

If you're familiar with the Nord Modular or the Nord Modular G2 (https://www.nordkeyboards.com/products/nord-modular-g2), their audio engines met all my requirements except open source and hardware-agnostic (really, they were the source of most of the requirements).

Learning audio programming on my beloved G2X, falling in love with it, and watching the platform slowly die is why OSS and hardware agnostic are requirements now. It's been unsupported for years and Motorola hasn't made the DSP chips it uses in years.

One day, my patches will no longer be playable, in a way that just isn't true for acoustic instruments.

I don't want that to happen with the platform I move to once the G2 dies completely.

Hope that clarifies it some?

When my team agreed to use Prometheus from the client side we looked at Thanos, Cortex, and M3DB, but none of them gave us the flexibility and comfort of adoption for a small team providing a service to 10s of internal groups. We have many private internal DCs and needed metrics to be stored in the cloud, pulling data to the cloud seemed awkward and required access rights we couldn't get.

We ended up using Postgres 10 w/ TimeScaleDB and their Prometheus plugin with a simple emulated push gateway that converts a prom formatted http post to a postgres batch insert. Postgres is 3 nodes monitored with Patroni.

Working great for us and handling 1000+ metrics a second with ease and we get SQL for both real-time metrics for monitoring and analytics for business needs. We are using about 10-15% of our systems giving us room to grow.
My experience has been that the value of RSUs can be unstable to be considered as a paycheck. My last employer had a price based vesting.

For example, they gave me $10000 RSU vesting over 4 years. Then they used the current share price, say $10 as the fair value. 10000/10 = 1000 RSU vesting over 4 years.

If within those 4 years, share values go down below $10 I have made a loss. Because $9 * 1000 = $9000 worth of shares. And it happened with my last employer.

In such cases, it is no longer a paycheck. Rather a bonus which might or might not pan out.

When I started searching for a job it actually put me at a disadvantage. Whenever I talked with employers who had no RSUs benefit plans they always tried to reduce the value of my total paycheck. The refrain often was "You said $10 but I see only $9. So, you are not getting $10000 shares rather $9000 worth of shares".
Along those lines, a personal favorite is Empires of Light, covering the race for electrification and lighting. It critically includes the role of George Westinghouse, which a lot of books leave out (typically focusing more on Tesla & Edison instead).

I wondered about this. There's a lot of conversation around the internet about Tesla cars having lots of cameras. While true, I think they need several more at least. Enough to provide stereoscopic vision in every direction. (Plus a few pointing downward, because it's embarrassing for an otherwise reasonably well featured car to not have a 360 parking view in 2020.)
That was never the case. Go back even to 386 days and AMD or Cyrix were not always on par with Intel clock for clock. This only really flipped when Athlon came out.

You also had to think about DX vs SX, if you got L2 cache, 5x86 is really a 486, what is an Overdrive chip?, why does a PR166 CPU run at 100MHz, what is a Celeron, and why is 300A model so much faster than the original 300? Etc etc etc
I'm hoping some sanity is brought to front-end development. I had a project which legitimately did require a slice of the site to be SPA. I didn't do the full site, just the piece that needed it. When I looked at using React I was confused that it seemingly didn't want me to actually write HTML. Maybe I misread something, but it seemed like it wanted me to return HTML from JavaScript...this made little sense to me. I ended up using VueJS because it was far easier to learn. It did the job.

Webpack certainly is confusing too. I did a side project with some webpack and es6 stuff. It was kinda fun, but man, front-end development has sucked forever. I remember back in the day having to fight with IE6. Here we are, thirteen fucking years later and shit seems to have gotten only MORE complex.

I look at server-side programming for comparison. PHP for instance certainly is more complex with some of the frameworks you can use now and of course composer. But those are WAY simpler than the shit I had to deal with when coding the front. I just don't understand how things have gotten more complex on the front-end, brutal.

It got me thinking about playing around with WebAssembly for building front-end applications. Maybe that doesn't fit all use-cases and maybe the grass is always greener, but I wonder if programming in sane ecosystem would be the sane thing to do...?

Put me in the camp that if there isn't a use-case slapping me in the face, choking me, and yelling at me to do a SPA then I'll avoid the shit like a plague. I'll just go with server-side render pages and sprinkle in some very basic jQuery as needed. I actually did that for a CRM two years ago and the thing is so damn simple to program in, because JavaScript is only used if it ACTUALLY provides a benefit to the user. There is a site-wide script that is maybe 100 lines of code. Then some page-specific things that load in stuff using RequireJS, but the most complex JS out of those is maybe 300 lines. The vast majority of the site doesn't really use much JavaScript. Just plain old MVC.

As always, please BURN YOUR JAVASCRIPT STICKERS.

Amazon’s Ring Fired Staff for Trying to Access Customer Data
IBM mainframes in the 70's invariably came with the IBM 1403 high-speed band printer, which pretty much represented the apex of band-printing technology. They printed 132 column, 66 line pages of EBCDIC text at a few seconds per page (depending on how many lines were blank, which characters were being printed, and what band you had installed). They were about the size of a washer and dryer pair, and made a pretty big racket. The computer operators (!) loaded them with special "green band" paper stock that came in boxes about the size of a 12-ream box of printer paper you'd buy at OfficeDepot today, but it was all one big continuous z-fold piece, with sprocket holes down each side for the printer to grab and power it through the paper path. Jobs were printed with special "separator pages" to help to operators find where to split the perforated printouts and deliver them to the right users' collection bins.

> Much of the code seems... incomplete?

Pretty much this exactly. There's not a lot here, but what is there leaves you kind of confused about what the point is.

I'm not a cryptographer and can't vouch one way or another for the safety of their fork, but a lot of the changes are just stuff like moving whitespace around, and the stuff that isn't pointless sometimes involves changes to important cryptography functions without clear explanations or justifications given in the commit messages. All of the changes are by a single user without any clear indication that they've been reviewed by someone qualified to do cryptography.

And above all there's no obvious reason this fork needs to exist. There's no evidence that it's fixing any "critical bugs" that the OpenVPN project is ignoring, and if the changes are worthwhile they should just be upstreamed. If you're going to pursue something as major as forking OpenVPN, it's really on you to provide some evidence that people should trust your work.

> Surely it's good though that someone has started adding ChaCha20 and Poly1305 to OpenVPN?

For sure, but maybe they should put more effort into getting Wireguard support for their servers instead?

The other 2202 deaths were all related to evacuation. The cause of these early deaths were due to the disruption of hospital operations, exacerbation of pre-existing health problems and the stress of dramatic changes in life.

> both my MacBook and iPad let me reduce the backlight intensity to very little

I don't agree - I have a long-standing complaint that Apple doesn't let you reduce the brightness on their devices enough! I would definitely want to lower the brightness on my MacBook Pro more at night if I could.

On my Mac I've even used third-party software that overlays the screen with a semitransparent black square to darken it, but that reduces contrast. On my iPhone I use the accessibility filter to darken the screen.

I assume they've limited the minimum brightness due to PWM flicker.

Yeah, they're normally hooked up to a low bandwidth network like an IR mesh or something.

Another benefit of that is that it leaves the only regular stocking left which is the easiest part to automate. At that point you can cut out the grocery department entirely and leave the 10% weird cases to the front end staff.

It sounds like your team's culture is built around a small dev team with a high level of autonomy and trust, which hasn't scaled to a larger org. Now's the time to establish a new culture.

Unless you are Milton from Office Space, you're not the only one on your team blocked by process (If you are, Amazon has great deals on bulk accelerants). Put out some feelers for others in the same situation. Junior team members are fertile waters. Schedule a twice-weekly recurring meeting to review one another's contributions. With discipline you can review two twenty line changes in an hour. Homework is unlikely to work here, or you wouldn't be posting this. In short order you will not only be pushing changes, but establishing yourself as someone who Gets Stuff Done.

Above all, don't sit at your desk and weep bitterly that nothing is merged. Stand up for doing things; either your team will improve, or you won't need someone else to tell you it's time to move on.
Is it fair game for adults to snipe at child activists like Greta Thunberg?
The whole problem is caused by ridiculous policies such as explicit advantages for "small businesses owned by “service-disabled veterans, women, minorities, or economically and socially disadvantaged individuals".

It's obvious why they're passed (and would be nearly impossible to repeal), because it's a useful PR trick that sounds good and attractive to the voters. However, that's bullshit - it does not matter by whom the business is 'owned' (because actual control and benefit does not map cleanly to legal ownership), if you want to subsidize a particular group of people, well, just give them an appropriate amount cash directly, or give advantages to the particular “service-disabled veterans, women, minorities, or economically and socially disadvantaged individuals" themselves, but you definitely should have the businesses still compete based on proper merits instead of legalizing advantages for ticking arbitrary boxes, which only invites abuse such as described in this article.
ive been making the point about gaming and 8k screens for a while, currently even a high end PC struggles to deliver 4k/60fps in AAA games and thats before we throw ray tracing into the mix, the consoles have little to no chance, much like the current generations touting of 4k, much of which (if not all) is upscaled rather than rendered at full 4k

the bottom line is while we do have the screens to do it the rest of the tech has a ways to go before catching up
