TRISO fuel has some very interesting capabilities as noted in the article. It also has some challenges. Traditionally, the challenges are:

* Very low power density requiring absolutely massive reactor vessels for a certain power level

* Very expensive fuel fabrication ($10k/kg), hopefully can be brought down

* Difficult to reprocess (this is probably fine until nuclear produces like 50% of the world's energy, at which we will begin to challenge the fuel resources)

Also traditionally, these are high temperature gas-cooled reactors. A new twist is the molten-salt cooled (basically just melted salt, not fluid fuel like in full-on molten salt reactors) TRISO-fueled reactors. These are called FHRs.
Which cities? As far as I’m aware, in recorded history the only “city” being hinted at disappearing under sea was Atlantis, and even that considered to be fictional. Maybe more I’d you include the deluge myth[1]. None of those was a gradual increase in sea level.

This presumably helps Airbnb deplatform racist hosts, which is a better outcome in my opinion.
It ought to be safer since the fission products are encased in the protective and non-corroding triso structure. That being said, used LWR fuel rods are also enclosed in protective cylinders (see eg the designs for the Finnish Onkalo storage site). Both safe enough per current best knowledge.

If one wants to do some fancier recycling and reprocessing rather than once through, I understand this is relatively undeveloped.
It is different case by case or country by country, the point was that corruption exists in any country; not the same corruption, but it is there. In US you call it lobby or pork barrel, in other countries it's the bribe you need to pay everywhere to get anything.

For example, in Bulgaria I rented a police car with 2 real policemen to drive me out of a town where I got lost and I was driving on the wrong way. Not only I did not got a fine, but for something like $5 I got them to drive in front of me, wrong way, then another few kilometers to the city limits. In the same country any speed ticket was voided for $5, maybe $10 if the speed was outrageous.In Romania until recently it used to be mandatory to bribe any surgeon to get a surgery, it still happens on a lower volume even today. If you want a driver permit you talk to an instructor, they will arrange it for you - just give the money to the instructor and get the exams passed. Border crossing - same, bus drivers were collecting $5 from each passenger to bribe customs officials, they were dealing with the actual bribery.

The situation improved a bit in some countries, or just got a lot more expensive. You can still bribe policemen in Eastern Europe, but it is not working with $5 anymore, it takes 20 or 50. But we had a minister of agriculture arrested and convicted for getting bribed with sausages and booze, just to give an example of how weird the bribery can be.
This type of land use would be illegal to build new, or saddled with so much parking requirement to be financially unviable, in most of the country.

It is the historical form of the American city, but the midcentury turned its nose up at dirty noisy cities and promoted single-use Euclidean zoning to the extreme.
I feel that HN somewhat does the 'factoring into smaller groups' by having each topic's conversation be pretty clearly separated from each other one's, and quickly expiring off the frontpage. So the group of people who actually have a conversation in any given comment page is much smaller than tens-of-thousands.

For that example, I would just use Decaffeinate to migrate to ES6, upgrade to TypeScript + AngularJS 1.5+ best practices as OP did, and then follow the official AngularJS -> Angular migration path.

Considering they're two entirely different frameworks, Google did a good job creating a usable compatibility layer. This allows a relatively painless "ship of Theseus"-style transition where you have a combination of Angular and AngularJS components interacting with each other, until eventually it's just Angular components and you can drop AngularJS from the build.

The confusing part about the article was that it initially stated that they were very small, and then went on to speak about billiard ball size. Does that mean that the protective coating is very thick, or that there’s a range of sizes for the actual uranium mass?

I remember reading in one of Feyman’s biographies about how he visited an early fuel plant, and was horrified to see them storing what amounted to a near a critical mass in barrels, in long rows. we’ve come some way since.

> They need to evolve in some capacity to remain interesting.

The meta or something has to evolve, but not the rules. The basic rules of soccer, etc. don't evolve.

And video games are in some respect a form of art, so any judgement like this is incredibly subjective. Just as many people prefer classic art to modern, some people prefer classic games (eg. old, harder Tetris to new, Super Smash Bros Melee to newer Smash).

(Edit) But to say "Using an open source structure or a committee for this would probably be slow, or doesn't work at all as it prevents meaningful/drastic changes." seems wrong. As an anecdote, I considered myself a "gamer" in middle school, and beat the highest rated game of all time (LoZ:Oot). As I've aged I've gamed less, but during the pandemic I've played a bit of NetHack, and found it a more interesting game, and its decades of history and evolution seem to show more dedication than any proprietary game has received to me.

Its silly, but also really doesn't hurt anyone so I think as a white dude, I am not going to be fragile about this and just let it be.
Most popups I've seen are either illegal under the laws they were created for (the full-screen privacy ones) or signs that you should leave the website or app (newsletter ones).

The problem is that instead of stopping their abusive behaviour, tracking companies will make whole ranges of services as hard to use as possible and point towards lawmakers when people complain about them. Their flawed business model has collapsed because privacy has finally gotten attention and they're fighting tooth and nail to keep their awful businesses afloat.

There's a perfect setting in most browsers that the popups can already use, called "do-not-track". However, they don't want to use that because it's too easy to turn it on. So instead of listening to your preference, they will show the popup regardless and follow the rules to the most annoying extent of the law.

Really, people should just stop clicking through these goddamn popups and leave the website when they encounter them. The only way to stop this madness is to take away traffic from websites with shitty practices. This includes those damn notification scripts and those auto-playing videos.

A second suggestion: "A Companion to Analysis" by Tom Körner.

This article is fantastic in both shape and content, and I got lost with all the examples because there is so much to wonder at.

What hits me most profoundly is that there are so many witty and interesting prompts yet the purely logical statements fall apart (with the black ravens, or male sister).

This is something that probably does not jump to one's mind as significant, because "technicalities", but to me this is where logic allows us to take a step back from our human projection for a second, it's my own anthropomorphism that becomes more obvious to me. I find that ironic, considering a lot of human beings also DO fail such tests, but something hits me about how a supposedly completely logical entity fails at logic more than at poetry. It kinds of shakes my own (supposed) humanity.

JB Weld is fairly amazing stuff. I've field repaired things with it that I thought would never last the job, much less any longer than that job. For example, while hauling a vehicle around on a flatbed truck the waterpump broke. Nissan did not carry the part in stock so I took it off by the side of the road, used JB Weld to put it together again, roughly shaped it to match the original + some extra thickness for strength and put it back in. The part took longer to arrive than planned and the repair held until it arrived, probably put another 100 km or so on it. Crazy.

I'd observe that living in any small area whether it's a "fake town" like Santana Row or a real town like gentrified areas of many old small New England cities can get old. I worked in downtown Nashua NH--not the strip mall, the old downtown--for quite a few years. It was nice. But you maybe had a dozen square blocks of nice restaurants and interesting shops and that was it. Fine to commute to a few days a week. Less interesting IMO to live in.

I couldn’t identify any other insights in the essay that HN does not line up well.

However, I could argue that HN lines up well with one pattern mentioned in the essay: Identification and vilification of external enemies. For example, HNers typically vilify external groups and people who act or actually are ignorant about encryption and privacy issues -- such as, say, the politicians and industry associations who drafted and promoted the EARN IT act. I don't think this particular example is a negative for HN (i.e., I think EARN IT is horrendous), but I do think the similarity is worth mentioning. I hope HN seeks to minimize vilification in general.

Also, I wonder if HN is susceptible to a pattern that (IIRC) is not mentioned or discussed at all in the essay: Influential communities with large audiences attract ill-intentioned members who infiltrate the community only to influence the larger audience. I hope HN has safeguards against this sort of behavior, though.
So, instead of ugly commercial monstrosities we're going to get rows of tiny, dark apartments in a weird building that doesn't really use space efficiently. And this is a best case conversion: historic building in an urban area. Imagine how awful a suburban mall would be.

In fact, they did.

For querying content type, there are pre-existing APIs (e.g. `hasStrings` [1]), which AFAIK don't trigger the banner. In fact, the documentation already recommended using those methods over querying the actual clipboard contents, for performance reasons. But they're relatively new compared to the rest of the UIPasteboard API, having been added in iOS 10.

For going beyond content type, there are new APIs in iOS 14 that let you check if the clipboard contents are a "ProbableWebSearch" or "ProbableWebURL" without triggering the banner. [2] Doesn't seem like there's more flexibility beyond those two options, although I found a thread [3] suggesting that more might be added in the future. I wonder what ProbableWebSearch does.

Well, the tenants are evicted after several months.

The tenants, or their visitors, will park in other peoples yards.

The landlord will make deals to waive the security deposit in exchange for ‘fixing up’ the units, after the prior tenant trashes it.

So, ‘saving money’, is really externalizing the costs to the surrounding neighbors.

My plan is to purchase it, and raze it to the ground, honestly.

So, the neighbor that has a bunch of money, and sees the lot next door become ‘denser’, why not buy all the units and create a buffer?

Thanks for sharing. I found the second video to be very entertaining as someone who hasn't seen a lot of Erlang in action. At 32:38 in the video he mentions some issues that plague BEAM which cause some engineers to eschew its use in production. Do you know what issues he could be referring to?

There is a good chance that it's exactly the opposite.

If you take a Roman and a barbarian an exchange them, you get a new barbarian and a new Roman (because how could they survive otherwise?). And, I suspect, if you exchange the Romans and the barbarians slowly enough you will have the previous Romans behaving like barbarians and the previous barbarians like Romans.

Ouf that last bit makes me hurt.

Encouraging smaller changes isn't nearly as useful if those changes aren't isolated - if it's just half the picture then you can't accurately review it.

I hit a similar sort of issue recently - I've been incrementally developing a complex data migration, each change to the migration has worked on its own and been reviewed separately but I'm still going to go in and request a full review once the piece of logic is fully assembled. This is also happening on an integration branch on origin - we do try and keep these to a minimum but we're making a backwards incompatible change that would be quite expensive to do in a fully backwards compatible manner.

There are things that are infeasible to reasonably do without an integration branch (nothing is impossible technically, but it might be a huge waste of time) but even those things are pretty few and far between. If integration branches are common place at your company it might be good to examine coding practices and see if you can slice up tickets to be smaller.

Heh, that's a good reaction. :-)

Maybe I don't know the problem well enough, but the relatively simultaneous nature of domestication seems like less of a mystery to me. More recent domestications (eg. in the Americas) seem to indicate that a hunter-gatherer population needs to be getting comfortable with a particular bioregion for at least a thousand years or so before an accumulation of of local knowledge can lead to the development of decent local cultivars. If this is a general and defensible rule, then I think our climate history can provide the rest of the evidence.

The ice age wasn't just cold, it was also chaotic, with temperatures pinging all over the place from year to year:

https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/abrupt-cli...

In that context, any population would have had difficulty staying in one place for a thousand years -- I don't mean living a settled life, I just mean hanging out in generally the same bioregion. Bioregional adaptation would be detrimental in such an unstable environment: your tribe needs to stay mobile and highly adaptable, or it'll die. No chance to develop agriculture under those circumstances.

Eventually we enter a nice calm interglacial period, and settle down to do some fishing -- then spend the next thousand years being chased around by rapidly rising sea levels and mega-floods from bursting glacial dams.

Finally, about 11k-10k BPE, all that settles down -- although not without us acquiring some nice flood myths along the way -- and we have time settle down and start getting to know some bioregions on a long-term basis. A thousand years or so later, we've got agriculture popping up all over the place.

Seems like a reasonable story? Or am I missing something?

Nobody is born with knowledge. The difference is that Antirez studied previous solutions, studied how to do it, and then applied that knowledge right.
