Now we know how to do it right. See Shika 2 abwr build in 2006. It was amazing. Problem is, we keep choosing to do it wrong. South Texas has a full-on license to build a ABWR there right now. Hitachi could show up and deliver it. But we choose to not allow it due to corporate turf issues with GE.

This is a big management and coordination challenge. But with climate change looming, what better time to choose the path we know works.

VVERs are also fully serialized.

While looking at Vogtle and Hinckley C and Finland, we must not forget VVERs and ABWRs and APR-1400s.

Wind and solar don't scale as well as the nuclear plants that aren't being built would scale, if they were being built at scale, but they're not.

Wind and solar scaled better in 2019 than the Chinese were hoping nuclear would scale when they made big plans c. 2015. Those plans weren't realized: https://twitter.com/sampenrose/status/1162772916125126656

Again, I am rooting for nuclear to take off. The best realistic plans are that low gigawatts will start to arrive towards the end of this decade. Meanwhile, wind and solar will be added at that scale every year in between, and more and more of it will be used to create liquid fuel:

https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/mega-projects-h...

Advocating for clean power is good. Failing to update the priors that Stewart Brand et alia formed 15 years ago when wind and solar were an order of magnitude more expensive and three orders of magnitude less deployed is not good.
FreeBSD and Linux have pretty cute mascots too.

Puffy is exclusive to OpenBSD. Tux and Beastie are more generic.

Also:

"Early versions of OpenBSD (2.3 and 2.4) used a BSD Daemon with a halo, and briefly used a daemon police officer for version 2.5. Then, however, OpenBSD switched to Puffy, a blowfish, as a mascot." [0]

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_Daemon

Edit:

You're absolutely right that there seems to be some kind of power fantasy among the FreeBSD crowd about crushing Linux.

Just do an image search for "BSD Daemon" and see the g(l)orious fan-art.
Just to jump in here to add some additional comments:

* Mount Pleasant WI is not rural (city-data.com says 95% urban). It lies on I94 just 1hr 15min from Chicago and 30min from Milwaukee.
* I doubt Mount Pleasant WI is dying.

If I remember, the deal was pretty opaque and many details were murky. I find it more likely the local officials were incentivized somehow as opposed to sheer incompetence.

Additionally, it should be noted that the WI governor (Scott Walker) who orchestrated this deal lost his re-election bid shortly after this. While there was always uncertainty about Foxconn actually following through, the lack of Walker (and thus probably Trump) basically sealed the deal.
Agreed. Utility execs only care about the bottom line.
If we can get markets to value low-carbon or low air pollution nuclear will compete today. Sadly, it doesn't look like this will happen anytime soon. Seems so obvious though.
What's the use case of TCL nowadays? I thought the language was fading out due to emergence of alternatives like Lua and Python, despite how much I love it.
> The stubbornness of people like that has cost thousands if not tens of thousands of lives to air pollution

Considering that the research suggests 7,500 and 52,000 people in the US each year[0], I think you could safely say "hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost due to this argument" (considering that less than 30k lives have been lost to nuclear, including future deaths from disasters).

I want to make this abundantly clear. We're pro-nuclear because we want to save lives. Because we want to save the environment. And because we are listening to the scientists. No one is saying "nuclear vs renewables", but rather "keep nuclear on the table". We're on the same team as those that advocate for renewables (I myself strongly advocate for renewables!).

Ah ok, this is about trying to remount read-write. Yes, that requires zfs set readonly=off on FreeBSD. [vs. -o rw with mount(8)].
I have a friend who needs to ship out of Hong Kong. I can tell you that he’s greatly effected by the lack of passenger flights. Much of his shipping went through a shipping aggregator, but ultimately, most of his shipping ended up as being extra space on passenger flights. His shipping costs are currently cost prohibitive on much of his volume business, from like $5/item to like $30.

And worse, there are package quotas now with many carriers, so he’s had to stop using aggregators.
You'd be surprised, actually. This is more true in third world countries, and other areas that have experienced instability relatively recently (e.g. ex-USSR countries, including Russia) - at some point people start demanding a "strong hand" and whatnot.
People want cheap goods. They don't care if their Nike shoes come from a slaveshop, just like we don't really give much thought that most of the milk we drink come from cows in very miserable conditions.

It's business as usual for China. As long as they keep on making those affordable goods, other countries will consume.

If Apple moves off their entire production from China to US, and still is competitive, then I'll be a believer.

Remembering John Conway
The modern Fortran (2008-2018) is indeed used actively, although less than 40 years ago, as there are many rivals now. Just check out the Fortran GitHub projects.
This eulogy makes more sense and rings true:

As a counter to this, if you're working on network software that uses a lot of bandwidth and a lot of open connections, BSD is a bit more stable than Linux, so it's generally a better choice for that at least.
Search is not an operating system function. It needs read access to every file you want it to find, but other than that it's just another application.

Windows has great engineers, yes, but the problem with Windows search is not an engineering problem, it's a trade-off between different use cases and performance and compatibility and innumerable other factors. Design by committee and circumstances of history made Windows search what it is, the shortcomings aren't caused by a lack of engineers capable of building Everything or Spotlight or grep or Google or whatever your ideal file search tool looks like.

The Linux kernel devs hate ZFS and actively sabotage it even backporting changes specifically to break ZFS to LTS branches.

It's fine if you use something like Ubuntu where it's officially shipped with the distro. If not, be prepared to apply kernel patches whenever the kernel team takes a snipe at ZFS.

I'm not trying to be political here, just my day-to-day experience working with several Linux machines running large zpools. It's still worth it compared to the alternatives but if I could use FreeBSD I would.
Big difference in USB drivers with the new release. I can actually get it to install now on a real machine now. Give me some more time to check it out further.
I'm going to need a few citations because this is an ongoing and highly controversial debate within the climate community. Considering that, it isn't a smart decision to remove nuclear from the conversation all together. I'd go as far as saying removing it from the conversation is anti-scientific.
wasn't aware of that, thanks.
1. Open source.
2. Pure markdown with extended syntaxes, supporting all kinds of diagrams (Mermaid, PlantUML, Vega, ECharts, etc) and LaTeX Math. You can also create slides (powered by Reveal.js) directly in Crossnote.
3. Local widgets support. Such as abc music notation, OCR, Kanban (<- syntax might change in the future), etc. More widgets are coming out in the future.
4. Cloud widgets support. Cloud widgets are those communicate data with our cloud server. The first cloud widget I supported in Crossnote was the `/crossnote.comment` widget, which allows you to make comment directly inside your markdown note.
5. You own your data. All your notes are stored locally (If you are using Crossnote PWA then all notes are stored in your browser). So it's easier to take control of your data.
6. Coming out soon: P2P based real-time collaborative editing
7. And many more ;)

That's all I can think about right now :)
Thank you
Imitation also has to consider conquest. So again the question becomes whether it was a general guideline for warfare, or specific to the particular circumstances of the specific conflict that Muhammad was engaged in at the time. So far as I know, the mainstream position is that it is the latter. It doesn't mean that they're abrogated - it just means that a similar situation is unlikely to arise again. It also doesn't imply a condemnation of war.

Even the "righteous" caliphs did all kinds of things contradicting the Sunnah, so I don't think that's a very useful yardstick. But overall, given that the Caliphate had plenty - indeed, early after the initial conquests, the majority of its population - following different religions, it's pretty obvious that the commandment wasn't taken quite so verbatim even then. And, on the other hand, consider the ultimate fate of the Kharijites, who kinda took it to heart.
For those curious:

Waymo is owned by Google (well, Alphabet), and is looking to compete with Uber/Lyft.

Nuro is backed by Softbank, and is looking to start with food/grocery deliveries.
Yeah statistics look so great...on paper.

In reality A SINGLE overdue French reactor could wipe out a whole country (Luxembourg) leaving us with a nuclear wasteland right in the middle of Europe. A beautiful picture you can't draw with numbers. To make my point even clearer and because I have the feeling like I'm talking to Americans who have never even took a look at an European map. This is it: https://i.imgur.com/SVom3rl.jpg Yes, there are people all over the place.

This stuff is being kept alive for political reasons (hey here is your favourite reason for nuclear "mistakes": human error again) while it rots from within. So how it may be surprising that people do not trust the energy and those who are responsible for it politically and technically, is beyond me.

All that money wasted for this technology could have been invested into renewables which would have brought us much farther than we are today but it didn't happen because: hey nuclear lobby. Throwing even more money on it now is beyond stupid (https://www.reddit.com/r/de/comments/emc2ne/quelle_surprise_...) and I really hope the lobby money for this artificially kept alive propaganda train finally runs out just like the technology did.

Long term I think that we will shift more towards self-sustenance. For the most part, people are listening to the authorities and I'm wondering if this will lead to a rise in CIVIC nationalism.

You can write down an algorithm to generate the digits of .33..., so that set of digits exists as a "potential infinity". Same with Pi and the square root of two.

It is numbers that haven't been constructed that intuitionist mathematics doesn't generally think have been proven to exist.
Oh man macros. I remember using them in the OS Classic days before aliases/shortcuts were a thing, so you'd have to click into a pile of folders to open an application, but not with macros. Macros would do it for you.

Launchbar (https://obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html)

Spotlight on steroids, along the lines of Alfred and Quicksilver, but the best of the bunch, imo. It's a frecency based fuzzy matching searcher that adheres to subject - verb - (optional) object grammar, and using it feels like a global GUI terminal. A new mac without it feels completely gimped. Things I use it for:

- quick launch/switch apps

- browse filesystem (like https://github.com/ranger/ranger) and do anything with item

- take selected item (file, folder, url, text) -> open with X, send to any search engine, move, copy, rename, start composing email with text, compress, basic text munging, etc.

- calculator

- clipboard and snippets manager (incl. variables like current date/time)
I went to name a “Doodoo brown” and was warned 7 other doodoo browns exist.

Nice, I’ve found my people.
The first smell for me was the name "intuitionist". The concepts involved make a lot of sense to me, though. This kind of number system follows the rule of "TANSTAAFL" (Robert Heinlein's "there ain't no such thing as a free lunch"), namely that you cannot have zero-cost infinities as real numbers require.

As a side note, if this notion pans out... welcome back Free Will.
It must have reached perfection.
Thank you for this wonderful work.
Will you be going out (movies, restaurants, etc.) once the pandemic is over?
I personally miss going out and about and cannot wait to hit my favorite restaurants and venues once this is over.
1/3 is a rational number, so intuitionism is fine with it. It's also fine with "computable reals": real numbers that have an algorithm for computing them (that algorithm can be represented with a finite amount of information). What cannot be constructed in intuitionism is a "non-computable real": a real number for which there is no algorithm to compute it. The vast majority of classical real numbers are non-computable.

Another way to look at it: if we have a limiting process that approaches some number X, classically we could use the law of the excluded middle to prove that it must eventually reach X, hence X "exists". Under intuitionism however we cannot say that X "exists" or construct X, all we can do is construct the process that approaches X and say this process exists.

Github actions - Automated builds, testing and deployments. Saves tonnes of time and allows me to quickly switch between repos with worrying about deploys and testing.

Docker - Allows reproducible builds and caching, an indespensible and composeable tool for development.

Shell Aliases - just using aliases for common commands in .bashrc saves tonnes of time. Even better version control your aliases in a github repo like this https://github.com/benwinding/dotfiles

Flameshot and Peek - lightweight screenshot and screen recording tools

We do know that the real world is richer than the simulated world, since it holds a computer that runs the simulated world. Therefore if you exist, then it's more likely that you're the result of evolution in the real world than the result of evolution in the simulated world.

Imagine the warehouse-size computer that is needed to simulate a bacterium here on Earth. Computers are dusty, and dust contains bacteria, so if you're a bacterium, then it's more likely that you're one of the billions of bacteria in the dust on the computer, than the bacterium being simulated by the computer. The same reasoning should hold for other worlds.

Then custom scripts I made to do specific tasks on hundreds of files. So familiar scripting languages, in general, such as those regularly used at work. I had actually used MatLab for non scientific uses like batch downloading, or batch image/audio format conversion.

And a modern IDE that prevents many errors in the first place. VS Intellisense does it for me, but I guess there are equivalents in other development environments.
The S&P 500 has been a solid investment, historically speaking, even with the black swan events. It has more than tripled since 2009, and doubled since 2007 (before the 2008 drop). And with dividends it's even better.

This idea that black swan events keep knocking out all the gains just isn't true, looking at the numbers. But if you don't like stocks, buying real estate and renting it out is also a good option.
