To your point number 3: this mirrors my own concerns. It's not the technology per se (which is incredible and modern designs are undeniably safer), but that humanity just seems like it's bad at these complicated extremely long term projects like nuclear power generation with horrific fail states.
Exclusive Details on the Secretive RQ-170 Stealth Drone's First Trip to Korea
The new OL3 reactor at Olkiluoto power plant is an EPR reactor with nameplate capacity of 1600 MW, i.e. it was the first of it's kind anywhere. With all the delays in Olkiluoto project, there are now two units with similar design running in China so it will not be the first one to start.

Reason for the delays mostly has to do with the project model, i.e. having two vendors from France (Areva) and Germany (Siemens) working for the Finnish client TVO. Poor management by the client has allowed the vendors to point fingers at each other on various issues, so not only is the plant completing a decade late but there's also a court battle brewing between the parties. Most of this has nothing to do with nuclear power per se, however.

Interestingly, c#’s foreach construct can operate on types that conform the the IEnumerable/IEnumerator interface even if they don’t implement it; you can have a GetEnumerator method return a struct with MoveNext and Current members and it will be stack allocated, so long as the variable on which you foreach is typed with the concrete type rather than IEnumerable.

Language integrated query comprehension is also duck-typed, so if you explicitly implemented Select and Where and friends to all return appropriately crafted structs, you could write full LINQ queries and enumerate them without heap allocations.

But you’re right that to use LINQ to objects you must have an IEnumerable because you rely on the type to bring in the extension methods.

Be interesting to imagine what c# language features would be needed to deliver a stack-allocatable LINQ...
I'm pretty safe in assuming they either enter a new business or don't for some reason. The some reason would be that they aren't able to actually do it.

No one just goes out of business; read a story about a failing business and there will invariably be a series of attempts they made to rethink their operation, failed acquisitions, etc.

So there we have to go back to the original argument: do they have a choice? I'm claiming their choice is the strategy they employ, they don't have control over the outcome, obviously.

The only case where you don't have a choice is when there's a sudden shock to your business; new laws put in place or something like mesothelioma crushing Lloyds. I don't think this applies because the changes we're talking about here are not sudden at all.

It's also not an all or nothing affair: you don't have to completely shut down one operation to start doing something else.

But other corporations can gradually enter and exit different lines of business, and this happens all the time.

Restaurant chains are a confusing example since they're really a mess of franchises. Even there, the parent corporation can create new branding and restauarant layout and effectively move into a new line of business.

> I agree that content is important, but if you're talking about new games, Google doesn't have much control

Doesn't matter, Google's gonna get the flak for it. People bought hardware and a subscription from Google. If they're not getting value from it, for whatever reason and whomever's fault, they're going to be mad at Google.

Why did Google release a platform if they didn't have enough games lined up and ready? I assume they're hoping they'll be able to weather this negative sentiment and do have games planned in the wings, but we'll see.
There are many pervasive, interconnected issues and trends to it, so there's no simple or complete answer:

0. Behavior online doesn't arrive out of a vacuum. If people are miserable because they're working harder, making less and their society is in retreat, they're probably going to take out their frustrations out on the easiest targets.

1. Unplug from social and mainstream media because it doesn't have much value.

2. Stop demonizing, hating on groups of people and falling for the unthinking of mob tribalism, even rhetorically. Hate bad ideas, not people.

3. Realize that we're divided-and-conquered if we're going to let a few rich people and their corporate media keep us set against to each other. Solidarity is the only way.

4. Anonymity is good in small doses, but it's too easy for people to act unreasonably hiding behind it (cyberdisinhibitionism). DHH's company wrote a blog article about improving the quality of discussions with profile pictures and real names.

5. Stop and use every instance of it as a teachable moment, where feasible. It only works though if people have shame and can be brought around to the Golden Rule/empathy... it seems to me most parents these days aren't as involved in active parenting, so their kids run ferrel and so more people grow up to act more brutally and sociopathic. Furthermore, the current prevalence of parasitic vulture capitalism valuing myopic greed and selfishness above all else reinforces a disinterest in the concerns and well-being of others... which is antithetical to community and civilization.

6. There's nothing yet so far to replace the community function filled by religion, and so many people aren't interested in behaving themselves or doing right by their neighbors or strangers if they can get away with it.

7. More people have lost most of their hope about the future. For example, no healthy society has mass shootings/suicides nearly every day that no longer make the news.
From wikipedia[1], annual CO2 emissions per capita in the US are 16.1 tons, while for many European countries it's around 6 tons. I understand that there are emissions that aren't included there (like things manufactured elsewhere and imported), but I don't think those are significantly different between the EU and the US?

Evolution isn’t a force. As I was replying to someone who already has a goal in mind, I’m referring to that goal: balance. Of course, evolution also doesn’t have real goals, only local optimisations, so that makes it rather easy to beat at whatever goal we set for ourselves.
I think the "we're not doing it because it adds complexity in the type system and runtime"
was something most developpers have a very hard time understanding, since generic programming exists in pratically every single PL created since C++.

My understanding not just from the FAQ but also from reading conversation in the forums, was that they thought the feature itself had such a high potential of being misused as a crutch for bad designs that they thought not having generics was actually a feature.

And to be honest i almost agree 100% with that perception. The problem is that it leads to archaism and copy pasting that make a few lines of codes here and there look just gross (although perfectly understandable).
> "Some of the blame for this should lie at the feet of activists with good intentions like Jane Fonda."

Public and political opposition to nuclear has, over the decades, had a lot more to do with Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima than Jane Fonda.
I'm not sure whether it's the point of it, but since the LINQ syntax is essentially just do-notation (extended by things like join, group and order) it certainly allows for usages in other monadic contexts, for example with parser combinators.

Why should I watch a youtube video? I've done that in practice, and as I said above, I've personally seen multiple preteen kids successfully taught to do what you describe on the first day they tried it, and I've seen adults do that (with guidance/advice) not "If it rained the day before" but when it's been raining for a week and is still raining, again, having not done things like that ever in their life.

Yes, it takes time and effort to collect the right fire starting material in wet conditions - you might need a couple hours and a longer walk, but that's what hunter-gatherers do much of their day anyway.

And yes, it takes some "wilderness lore" specific to your local environment to recognize what's suitable and what's not, what's available and in what locations. That can be transferred reasonably quickly (i.e. the very basics in an hour or so) by showing stuff on-site but not easily over a ten minute youtube video that's likely taken far away in a different environment; but again, getting to know the local flora and fauna is a big part of young hunter-gatherer 'education' no matter if they use fire or not.
Gas CCGT is usually long run cheaper than coal once you include CO2 cost. But old and existing coal plants can often beat new build gas CCGT because theyre fully depreciated and have financing paid off. Additionally it's got a lot harder to finance new build CCGT and is pretty much impossible to finance new build coal these days in most markets.

Depending on the market, offshore wind can be cheaper than gas because of that effect and because of scale (the newest wind turbines are absolutely enormous) even ex subsidy.

How green is it when we've had it for 70 years and already created two* exclusion zones on earth. How many more exclusion zones will we have created with our hubris that we can create a perfect system?

I understand that my entire career (IT) depends on nuclear, but I can't ignore the fact that we have a giant reactor at the center of our solar system. We should focus on using that instead.

> 1% of all nuclear power plant did had a super serious problem (Fukushima, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl)

Are you saying that we have around 300 plants worldwide? Because that’s quite off if I trust https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nuclear_reactors:

> As of April 2018, there are 449 operable power reactors in the world [...]

> Additionally, there are 58 reactors under construction and 154 reactors planned [...]

> Over 300 more reactors are proposed

Also note that not all plants are the same, we improved quite a lot since the first generations, in part due to previous disasters. Comparing the number of big disaster to the number of active plants is misleading IMHO.
You mean clocking down the processor to reduce power draw from the batter, increasing the lifespan of the device...

But coal plant as opposed to solar plant has a reliable, predictable output and works after dusk. Nuclear power plant also has these characteristics.
As far as I have followed, I think it is more that while a fair amount of work had gone into prior designs for generics in Go, the general feeling of the core Go team was the prior designs did mesh well with the rest of the language, whereas the more recent design seems like it could work.

From this blog post[1] from last year from the core Go team:

We’ve been thinking about generics since work on Go began, and we wrote and rejected our first concrete design in 2010. We wrote and rejected three more designs by the end of 2013. Four abandoned experiments, but not failed experiments, We learned from them, like we learned from check and try. Each time, we learned that the path to Go 2 is not in that exact direction, and we noticed other directions that might be interesting to explore. But by 2013 we had decided that we needed to focus on other concerns, so we put the entire topic aside for a few years.

Last year we started exploring and experimenting again, and we presented a new design, based on the idea of a contract, at Gophercon last summer. We’ve continued to experiment and simplify, and we’ve been working with programming language theory experts to understand the design better.

Overall, I am hopeful that we’re headed in a good direction

The Indian forced sterilisation "emergency" was a horrifying disaster, but just smearing it on "progressives" without being specific about who you mean is unconstructive. Much of the responsibility there lies with Indira Ghandi.
Yes, this is pretty spot on. In my specific case, most of the aggression gets channeled toward my work and makes me good at what I do. The stimulants (pushed on me by multiple doctors) almost ruined my career, and my life, in more ways than one! Took years away from me. Any other aggression that happens to be there is just a part of who I am, and taking that away is a bug, not a feature. The side effects and danger that comes with any of those drugs is not worth it in many cases.
Right. Although, arguing China's side of the discussion as an example seems very very disproportionate at this point. See these giant, graphite-black sectors on the 2017 diagrams listed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_China
It’s an overly centralized solution in that it takes control away from the individual citizens and property owners, who have to foot the bill for costs, taxes, bonds, overruns, and profits for corporations not to mention possible payoffs to politicians. Including costs that are cleverly kept off the official pronouncements with accounting tricks.

Technically it may have come a little by way but small individual solutions like solar panels with battery systems have huge advantages when it comes to freedom and self determination.

Because nuclear is more expensive than on-shore wind and solar (as well as natural gas, for that matter). The problem with renewables today is not cost, but concerns about variability of the output.
Obviously you don't feel that using cold water negatively impacts how effectively you can clean yourself otherwise you wouldn't do this, but I was interested to know because I assumed hot water is better. So, I did some searching, and results appear inconclusive [1]:

Afaik they don't want programs to see each others pixels or input for security reasons (but thereby also breaking your own control over programs) so the following useful things will never be possible by design except with specific solutions on case by case basis (so: brittle)

Screenshots, video capturing, automating mouse and keyboard input (autoclicking), screen sharing, ssh with graphics, clipboard in scripts, ...

Or are those things planned anyway?
Hmm. I would argue that because what you describe is a problem that exists independently, that isn’t a convincing argument for not modifying these moths.

I accept I could be wrong though. I do have the feeling that this is straying outside my confidence zone.
Fossil fuel baseload is also incompatible with renewables, although not as badly because more of its costs are variable. This is one of the reasons coal is hurting.

Think carefully about the economics. Suppose we want to use nuclear to cover the (say) 20% of the time renewables + short term storage might not cover. Nuclear's cost of power would be greatly inflated over what it would be if it were baseload. The effective CO2 tax to make that cheaper than (say) gas turbines burning natural gas would be outrageous, over $1000/ton. A vast array of CO2-reducing changes would occur before that. It would also likely be cheaper to use renewable hydrogen (from electrolysis, stored underground) in gas turbines for that last bit. The round trip efficiency would be lousy, but it would still be cheaper than using nuclear there.

View it another way: if we have really cheap power most of the time, insisting we use nuclear then, just so nuclear would be available in that other 20%, would incur a huge opportunity cost. That cost should properly be assigned to the place nuclear is being depended on (that 20%).
Before your comment I didn't know about the existence of KeyDB, but now I do - thank you for that!

My main issue with scaling Redis is not performance or throughput, but doing it in a controlled, understandable manner which maintains consistency and ideally controlling what information goes on which node. In any case, it's great to find out about KeyDB. Thanks!
Typical car internal combustion engines are about 20% efficient; typical fossil-fuel power plants are about 35% efficient. So you gain significantly, even before you get to regenerative braking.
Normalizing by the user count should help.

My suggestion would be something much simpler ie. to try to compare content itself e.g. top 1000 posts from each subreddit, and estimate (say) cosine sim + Tfidf. Wouldn't that be a better indicator? Also, instead of pairwise comparison, you could try clustering (HDBSCAN for example) to reduce computational complexity.

But great work, love your visualizations!
Solar power is still a tiny part of global power and even in terms of growth its not dominate. Not a single industrial country is anywhere close to use solar as their primary power source.

Their are massive unsolved problem when it comes to energy distribution and storage. People love to quote prices of the cells, ignoring the larger end to end cost. Solar power will have to be replaced much, much faster then a nuclear plant. Replacing 1000s of km² of solar is a massive problem in itself.

France used nuclear to go to zero carbon power in the 70s its truly a sad state when 50 years later we are still saying 'solar is gone soon replace coal', the same thing that Jimmy Carter was advocating.

This was and is the fundamental failure of environmental policy and environmentalist have not a small part of the responsibility for the situation.
Campaigns like these shake my confidence in the FSF as a serious organization because it shows how little they understand about large, private software projects.

Open sourcing large proprietary software products like this involves:

- Licensing agreements with potentially thousands of third parties (Adobe, Apple, Xerox, IBM, SCO, Oracle to name a few)

- Trade secrets (also thousands, involving third parties)

- Distribution restrictions

- Export controls

Tracking down all involved parties is hard enough. Getting them all to agree is even harder, and more often than not is impossible. I suspect that even if all of the brass at Microsoft were keen on open sourcing Windows 7, it still couldn't be done.
10 years ago I was in academia. We were actively encouraged, even required, to find outside funding. Government would look at a bid for 1m and say "find 500k from someone else and we will match it". It was good practice.

Who were the people providing all that finding? The Chinese mostly.

Now we're in the middle of "sino-panic" and suddenly every cent (Renminbi?) is suspect.

I am happy to admit this guy was dishonest and deserves what he gets. But I worry this is the "thin end of the wedge". National security laws are draconian by design and aiming them at researchers continuing policies that were previously supported is both unfair and counterproductive.

To me, the whole China "thing" seems like a political witch hunt to avoid talking about real issues (impeachment, the 2020 elections, automation, the fact we have no idea what to do with all the people we can't find jobs for).

The weird claims about Huawei infrastructure falls into the same boat: picking a (cold) war to distract from other issues.

Beware where this goes.

The first few bullet points scream "you authorize SF to get your medical information and history". This is an application for long term disability, so they are trying to prove he's medically disabled by getting documentation from an authoritative source, which could only be accomplished by going to the doctors offices and insurers directly.

Isn't this basically power of attorney? He signed a form that explicitly stated he authorized SF can get his medical information (along other things). What's the purpose of such a form except to NOT go back to him to sign 12 documents from different companies to release info one by one?

If a company habitually buys shares back, then yes, that does tell you something about future growth prospects, in comparison to share buybacks.

It's a pretty clear sign of management saying "We see no better opportunity than to buy shares at the current price."

This may be because management believes shares are undervalued. But it may also be because they have no alternative plans.

And continued buybacks would seem to indicate the latter.
