>Environmentalists are divided over nuclear power, with some maintaining it is dangerous and expensive, while others say that to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 all technologies are needed.

Yes, a mix of technologies. But there's more to it than that. We're going to need increasing amounts of power in the future to explore the solar system and to solve all kinds of existential problems. Energy usage is not inherently evil provided we learn how to do it safely, which is an ongoing process.
We do it so much better that the quantitative difference becomes a qualitative difference.
> terrorism has evolved as well

I stopped worrying about terrorism when I realized that they could easily take out most of the European power grid with a few well-placed bombs on the central very-high-voltage power lines. Yet for some reason, they don't.

If terrorists were really hellbent on killing as many enemy civilians as possible, the world would look very different. What actually seems to be happening is that they use the smallest possible intervention that causes sufficient fear (and, conversely, sufficient support on their home turf). So I don't think they'll be blowing up nuclear reactors anytime soon. That would be unnecessary overkill (literally).

Le "bail réel solidaire" is a special type of lease contract in France created in 2015. It's used by state institutions to rent buildings to poorer people at decent prices. Those lease contracts grant some long term property rights. Unlike normal lease contracts, the duration goes from 18 to 99 years. The contracts don't transfer the ownership of the building itself and have mechanisms to avoid real estate speculation which drive the prices up.

The obvious difference to me is, that the e-ink screen is not flickering.
Every other screen flickers when it gets updated 60+ times a second. They say it is too fast to notice for the eye, but I doubt that. Also a normal screen is an active light source.
E-ink is passive.

All in all, I can read for hours on a e-ink display, but my eyes hurt soon on a normal screen. But az least they improved a lot compared from the old bulky ones.
> Imagine it's 1995. The Web gets banned for five years so that a government committee can meet to figure out what could possibly go wrong with that technology.

Fortunately we already know what can go wrong with facial recognition technology. We have China, and we have American and Israeli and various Asian marketing startups inventing abuse after abuse after abuse. So there is already a test bed in place; it doesn't have to be the entire world.

As a general principle, it may not be a bad idea itself. Let a part of the world play with the new toys and other part observe, after that either the tech will be exported to holdouts (the control group, if you like), or the regulations will be exported to the experimenters.

Interesting examples.
I am still conflicted about DI. I have seen it used too little which means that classes become basically untestable. OTOH, things like Spring (don't know about Dagger) seem so overcomplex and hard to figure out, I can certainly understand your point. I've had some luck with just hand-rolled DI in certain cases (e.g. a class that I know is mostly coordinating other classes; in that case, I might just inject all the dependencies manually for easy testing but provide a default constructor for actual production use), but I think it's hard to find the right balance.

Agreed about the annotations; it's one of the annoying things about Java, IMHO. The language itself is so inexpressive that people have to resort to annotations to do basic stuff. I think some level of "metaprogramming" can be useful (regardless of the language), either for boilerplate reduction or for removing aspects like logging from the main code, but it's too easy to become "clever" about it (not just in Java; Rubyists abuse metaprogramming way too often too, for example). I generally favour "explicit over implicit", which also means that I generally dislike inheritance because of all the non-local reasoning.

I found this book very useful to learn how to get potential customers feedback as quickly as possible for a new product idea.
I can echo this sentiment.

Spacemacs made my transition from Vim much smoother, and introduced me to many great packages and ways of configuring Emacs, so I'll always be grateful for that. It's a wonderful project.

But after a few months I started noticing those issues it introduced because of the additional layers of complexity, and decided to start from a scratch .emacs.d and add packages I strictly needed. It's surprising how much can be accomplished with just use-package and a init.d inspired loading structure.

The best thing about Emacs is its malleability, and relying on others to do this for you can be helpful, but is usually not what works best. I suppose this also applies to every 3rd party package you depend on, but I'm not versed in Elisp enough yet to _really_ build my Emacs experience from scratch. ;)

I think it's hard for most people to tell apart cheap nonsense sci-fi for one in which the vision is plausible. E.g. there are many reasons to be concerned about human-level AI, but Terminator robots is not one of them.

Personally, the best approach I've found so far is to assume that everything that is technologically and economically feasible will be attempted by someone, no matter how perverted or evil it is. If you can imagine something as a plausible consequence of the science/technology we have, and if you can imagine someone plausibly making lots of money from it, then it's the right time to talk regulations.
I could listen to Tim Pychyl lecture all day! Thanks for bringing his work up.
Personally I'm all for having mini reactors if it means we can generate reliable energy with minimal pollution. Anything that helps reduce emissions should be considered.

But this would need to be a fail save type of reactor and with a clear plan(s) all the way down to how the waste is handled till it's no longer active.
But they aren't now. The only reason for keeping data is for their own benefit.
I can't think of a specific technique, but one thing that has been very useful has been exploring the use of fuzz-testing.

I'm pretty much adding fuzz-testing to all my current/new projects now. It doesn't make sense in all contexts, but anything that involves reading/parsing/filtering is ideal - you throw enough random input at your script/package/library and you're almost certain to find issues.

For example I wrote a BASIC interpreter, a couple of simple virtual-machines, and similar scripting-tools recently. Throwing random input at them found crashes almost immediately.
Statements like that make great TV news commentary, but they have little basis in reality. Governance rarely deals in sweeping structural changes. Even things generally though of as such, like Civil Rights, came from a long series of small reforms leading to bigger reforms.

We'll soon have the magnetic engine which will produce endless electricity. So there won't really be a need for any new nuclear reactors anymore.
It obviously delayed the shutdown of coal plants but there was no emissions spike.
But this would be "perfect is the enemy of the good" situation. Banning things piece by piece is easier than trying to ban everything at once.

I mean, we could curtail most of the surveillance tech development overnight if we banned most forms of advertising and burned the adtech industry to the ground. But good luck pushing that through politics.
Sure, but the converse is that when you have a 10k+ LOC project, you can't read that program linearly anymore. I find that sometimes proponents of "straight-forward code" strive for code to be immediately understandable line-by-line, but in big projects, this is not how you navigate a project; you have to create the right modules and abstractions, otherwise you will get lost.
Why should we trust them? They are still a company. They still do evil things. And even their open source-work is not always free of shame. It's true that they have become less ignorant and toxic, but they have not become good. They contribute for their own benefit, not some greater good. We can trust them today to the same degree we could trust them 20 years ago, except now the areas wher we can trust them have grown in numbers.

This has given me food for thought. My kids go to school in an area that has a mix of incomes. My average day might involve working from home, or it might involving traveling internationally to visit $PROMINENT_BRAND_NAME to deliver consulting.

Though I would happily criticize the current government, in my area the majority voted for them (sigh.) Also, grumbling isn't really my jam. I don't want to base my relationships on it.
Sure it would. Couple it with a lion - battery as a buffer. A tiny pellet gives 60 watts of heat. A heat cycle engine could recover maybe 10 watts of that. Put 500 pellets in there and you could get 5kw or so electric charge, all the time.

Of course the pellets are insanely toxic in just about every way.
Yeah, this would be the consumer flipside of everything looking something like a subscriptions model. If the vendor wants to force obsolescence it should be on their own assets.

> [English is] not this way because of some essential superiority of the language

This is an important point to me and something often misunderstood, even (and especially) by mother tongue Northern Sotho speakers. Perceived superiority is sometimes mere utility. As far as I know, the spelling of Northern Sotho is derived from German missionaries (though perhaps also influenced by Dutch). This has caused Northern Sotho to be incompatible with English spelling. A prudent 7-year-old Mosotho would use this as an argument to rather learn English spelling, but also to make the mistake of discounting their language based on what is essentially just an unfortunate historical choice of orthography. Contrast this with Shona, which uses English-derived spelling. The Shona people generally have impressive skills in English spelling and eloquence in the use of English. (Though this is also due to Zimbabwe being influenced more by the British than anyone else.)

I think we need to admit that language itself is something that a young learner sees through the lens of utility and that superiority as a social concept would always be grossly subjective. It is funny how "supremacists" often prosecute the most competent people in their own culture (due to their competent brethren being mostly nosy and challenging towards the supremacists).
A surprising one is to avoid all kind of jumps (early return, breaks and continues).

A broader one: writing expressions as much as possible. Basically, it means avoiding unnecessary mutations (and jumps).

Then avoiding architecture. Thinking algorithms that process data (instead of "systems") has been transformative.

Same here! I think that approach works really well when you’re able to use it.

I’d love to try removing the DI framework and see what you get just rolling it all by hand, but that’s a tough sell in a large pre-existing project.
Sure why not, but let us not get carried away and think THIS is the solution to global warming. It is unproven, it will be too late, and not scale up quick enough.

By unproven I mean that the economics of it is unproven. We have no proof that SMR will be cheaper than large reactors. The article points this out as well.

By late I mean at current fast pace of development a lot of will happen with wind and solar in the 10 years it will take for this to get online.

There are two aspects of this:

1. If all superbowl-related articles used an extraction mechanism that links wikipedia with wikidata, then only the wikidata entry needs updating and all these articles get updated automatically.
2. That wikidata update I mentioned was manual, but a lot of data in Wikidata is updated automatically (e.g. births and deaths from some databases, city population counts etc.), so some things get updated across the board automatically. That's a source of pushback against this - articles being updated automatically, so bad actors can change a lot of things at once.

We shouldn't be using nuclear energy for power. Solar, wind and batteries will solve that.
