Then there's this bit: "switching to pB11 fuel will give us a 100-fold increase in yield" -- compared to deuterium. That's straight-up backwards. pB11 power density is actually more like 100 times less. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion

Yes, he's published papers about his experiments, but there's nothing in them about how he's going to get to net energy output -- so that part is not peer reviewed.

Often the fix is not to build a huge project. For some of these failures they're trying to migrate from a paper system to something as automated as possible in a single step.

Incremental improvements are almost always possible. People have set up websites to submit paperwork where the forms just send an email or trigger a print job when submitted. It's an improvement over mail and faxes.

How to Write a Good Post
I have an off-topic observation ...

So I happen to be working in an old VM, and it has an old version of Firefox. And yes, I know that I ought to migrate. Anyway, this old Firefox just won't load some sites, including The New Yorker. But there's a simple workaround:

user@host:~$ w3m -dump https://www.foo.bar/baz/ | less
This sounds horrific. I would never want to work in an environment where sudden unexpected on the spot firing was done, even if it was uncommon.
"The compose window now also takes up less space with recipients listed in “pills” instead of an entire line for every address.."

Yup, already hate it. I much prefer not looking through a list of buttons on the To line for the one I want to remove. Additionally, I can instantly see if I'm sending and email to my coworkers company or personal address without some damn tag after his name.
There's nothing inherently wrong with the system, in fact it's amazing. The problem with it is people, the government and people can easily get corrupted leading it into a North Korea like system politicians can take advantage of.
You have made a series of claims, but not given any reasons to back them up. What theory of ethics/justice are you invoking, when you claim that retribution/deterrence is unethical and should not be a goal of our justice system. If a billionaire is found guilty of pedophilia, and offers to build for himself a lifetime "prison" that is really a 5-star resort, should he be allowed to do so? According to your argument, the answer is yes, as long as he is equally isolated.

Archive Program director here. It is basically microfilm (albeit very long-lived) but the data is mostly stored in a pixellated form, not unlike QR codes, although every reel also contains human-readable instructions (and code) re how to unpack its data.
Excellent article; thank you. Tina’s moment of validation in college must have been absolutely jolting.

Regarding the title’s play on words: Charn is a ruined ancient world in the Chrinicles of Narnia itself, depicted in The Magician’s Nephew. Lewis likely descended Charn etymologically from the same origin as carnal, whereas Charn- in Charnwood references a Scottish cairn, or rock tower.

I wholeheartedly disagree. The new "To" field is much, much easier to use, and I'd be curious why you think it's the result of 'trade offs made under the mobile constraint'.
> I doubt there will be a single person for whom Thunderbird is their first email/messaging type app. Most would have used something on their iOS or Android devices first at least.

You'd be wrong. I, grudgingly, moved from mutt to Thunderbird after it was clear that email was turning into MIME-encoded web pages.
>So tyranny of the majority is fine

Perhaps it is preferable to tyranny by the minority.

>authorization" stemming from? Did we explicitly authorize it? Or was it implied by our inaction?

Did you authorize the taxes you pay, or where they go? Isn't this the so called social contract?

And please, my family fled true tyranny, I assure you nothing the US is doing is quite comperable to the CCP. Westerners don't know tyranny. They've grown so comfortable that they can take to the streets for weeks and complain about the very government that supports them.

Try doing that in the USSR or any Chines state outside of Hong Kong or Taiwan.

What other BI platforms have you used? We're looking to build out our BI infrastructure as a service for our customers and are currently testing google data studio but have looked into Sisense + Looker.
As an added question does any of those free systems support crossfiltering or drill down? Tested them and they seem severely lacking in basic 2020 features their big costly brothers got years years ago.
Thanks for you comment with interesting points. It’s quite different from the perspective of “scratching an itch” open source code. I look forward to your posts on nurturing open source communities.
So "main" is also problematic now? I thought that was the replacement for git's master branch?
I totally agree, and never understood the focus on curly bash script. People seem to be ok to 'git clone; make; sudo make install' something, but hesitate to pipe a remote bash script that comes from the same author, and often is hosted in the exact same repo... At least, nobody ever specifically pointed out how dangerous the make scenario is.

There are a few minor things one should do when writing such a curly bash script, but overall I, personally, don't worry too much about it when I encounter them, I just do my usual security assessment and risk mitigation (which usually does not include reading the code -- that's just not practical).
The integration of GPG into the client was a great move. The addition of dark mode is also good to keep up with the times. After all this while, the best thing I love about this release is the simplification of the To (and also CC and BCC) list into one field instead of being multiple rows (it was always painful to scroll).

I used to use Thunderbird as my only mail client for many years and still prefer it for personal accounts. I loved global search when it was launched, but that was not improved over time for accurate searches, especially for large mailboxes (I struggle to find mails with it in mailboxes that are a few Gigabytes in size).

Thunderbird has not focused on built-in MS Exchange support (especially including calendar), which, combined with environments where IMAP is disabled, makes it a no-go. I know of one commercial extension (Owl) that works with MS Exchange/Office 365, but that extension requires the purchase to be made by providing which email address one wants to use it for. It’s a privacy concern that the developer said they wouldn’t fix. So I’m stuck with Outlook Web Access at work (I refuse to use the Outlook client).

This is a very skewed view of billing and profit. I have worked at consulting agencies as an engineer most of my career, in management for a few years, and have seen the numbers. There are quite a few overhead considerations you need to take into account. Just in payroll, a $16/hr employee is a lot more expensive than that number. Closer to $30-$50/hr with taxes, healthcare, and other per-person costs. Then add office space, equipment, sales and marketing cost, management, HR. Some management hours are billable but not most. Then consider that most employees don't bill 100% of hours. If we paid an employee for 40 hours, I would be impressed if the billable hours were more than 35 on a good week. (We did not bill for stand-ups, breaks, and other events that were not directly project-related.) Additionally consider the risk factor, that some clients end up not paying for one reason or another, or we comp time due to mistakes, going over budget, etc. We still pay the employee.
It's logistically very difficult. Getting fuel into it usually takes a special truck, so you'd need access to that (when a plane is parked overnight it would have a little bit of fuel in it, but not enough to get very far after taking off). Even getting into the plane is difficult - you'd need a stair truck, and somebody to move the stairs out of the way when you're in. If it's parked somewhere where you can't just taxi out, you need somebody in a tug to do a pushback.

So assuming you're that far in, and you know how to start it up, you don't have a flight plan logged, so the tower isn't going to give you clearance to take off. If you take off without permission, they're going to call the air force, so you'd better be in a country that doesn't have a very big air force or a nearby base, and you probably want to choose somewhere where you can get into another country's airspace who isn't friendly with the country you stole the plane from...
Indeed. There was a pediatric cardiac surgeon in Winnipeg whose incompetence lead to the deaths of 12 children.[1] It got to the point that other physicians wouldn't even admit cardiac patients to keep them away from this doctor. Massive failures at every point in the system. Last I heard he's working at UCLA now.

There are bad actors everywhere. We don't condemn the Canadian healthcare system because of people like this guy.

Absolutely. It's a hard sell because popular opinion is that Rust gives you compile-time safety with zero cost, and showing people that that's not the case will be difficult.

There are three things that we'll have to show the world:

1. While Rust's references are safe and efficient, they force other would-be-references into less efficient patterns (the afterword dives into this a bit).

2. The article didn't mention this, but Rust's approach has a lot of run-time checking too. Every expect/unwrap and every Rc<RefCell<T>>'s borrow/mut() is an assertion, just like Vale's constraint refs.

3. These run-time "halts" won't actually be panics. In debug mode, it can pause and let you continue after a key-press (and even whitelist on a class-by-class basis). Then, once done running the program, one can easily convert that constraint ref to a weak ref in code if desired.

Also, the guarantees for thread safety should be the same as Rust, could you elaborate on that?

Anyway, even if the above three reasons aren't enough, Vale's ease-of-use should be more than worth it, for those who find Rust's approach too restrictive.

It'll be challenging to show readers the broader picture, and that Rust and Vale are two equivalent approaches to safety, but we're up to the challenge =)

Archive Program director here. One of the most interesting things our advisory committee told us is that it's really hard to determine what's important in advance: history is replete with lists composed by wealthy people of the books they thought most important, carefully preserved for posterity, whereas what modern historians _really_ want is ordinary people's shopping lists, of which almost none survived. That's one reason we cast a wide net and archived millions of repos instead of eg just the most-starred 100K..Even seemingly trivial repos might collectively be the modern technological equivalent of Renaissance shopping lists, for the historians who may take a particular interest in this (possibly) especially wacky and volatile era.

It seems that GDP should only tell part of the story with respect to specialist incomes. A senior engineer in the US will have their salary and contribution diminished by regulatory requirements and business inefficiencies, and will lose a lot of their potential compensation to health insurance, investor compensation, and other rent-seeking. In China, someone with a skill the Party has designated as critical to national goals may have a lot of the bureaucracy and bullshit cleared for them, or may be offered zero-interest loans to develop their business. Or perhaps not... I have no experience here, but GDP is a terrible metric for how much opportunity is available to skilled engineers.

Furthermore, compensation for technically skilled individuals is significantly lower in the rest of the world than in the US: visa barriers are definitely holding US tech salaries up. Although China has even stronger restrictions on foreigners, for those who can get into China but not the US it may be a good deal.

I was looking to file some issues with the project but couldn't find a repo. Guess I'm too used to expecting things to be open source.

Anyway, I'm hoping the authors see this. I tried Shelly for a while and here's what I think:

1. The tutorial needs background. Its text displayed over more text and that's tough to read. For the first point in the tutorial, I couldn't locate where it was visually and had to carefully read what the various parts of the screen were saying.

2. Make the editor stop complaining while I'm writing something. Its too aggressive and made me immediately think of https://i.redd.it/nygb741tho951.gif.

Overall, I like the concept. I'd have wished the syntax was more like javascript so someone learning this could more easily translate their skills to other parts of the web, but I guess we have to compromise that for the nostalgia and simple commands like `right 90` etc. I love this!

My favorite kitchen knife is an old steel knife with a handle ~4 1/2" long, blade ~8" long and width of ~1". I keep it clean and oiled and sharpen it occasionally with one of those crappy cheap kitchen knife-sharpeners you get in any grocery store. I oil it with olive oil (soak the handle too) and dry it out in a warm spot once a year too. It gets better with age.

I was lucky: one day at the convenience store I walked into the (tiny) restroom as a homeless guy was stashing his knife collection up in the attic space (he had failed to lock the door). I excused myself and backed out but notified the manager. We retrieved the knife set, which proved to be a collection of professional Japanese restaurant kitchen knives (very high end and nice) and various other sundry knives. I picked out the knife I describe above (it was one of the "other sundry") and said I wanted it; the manager gladly let me take it. The rest went into the trash. I've had that knife for years now and its the most useful of all my kitchen knives.

Lessons learned:

- don't mess with the homeless guy!

- How well a knife works doesn't depend on looks.

Fastmail and Trello.
At least in the Mail.app on macOS, clear buttons are still used in the toolbar and the window bar when you compose a new message. I definitely think theres new thunderbird buttons are both a downgrade in terms of usability, but also because, aesthetically, I think they look way worse. The icon design is really quite bad. The "A" char is poorly rendered, the stroke width and proportions seem to be all over the place, and the italics "A" looks particularly bad.
I skimmed through the features and was very excited for the dark mode announcement. But that quickly went down the drain when I couldn't find how to force it from the setting, because I'm using i3wm, and there's no "dark mode" per se.

The other thing I'm wondering about is how this will integrate with OpenGPG, more specifically if it will allow the use with smartcards. And it looks like it planned ![1]

Great work Team Thunderbird. Been a fan for the past 5 years, will be for the foreseeable future.

The Boeing of today might not be able to do what the Boeing of yesteryear did, getting the 747 series to a 50+ year life.

I say this because of the MAX, and some other behaviours which stem from Boeing moving from an engineering focussed company to a giant shit-show of mergers, stock games, and west-east mindshare collapse (judged from the partisan books & articles I read)

I fly Boeing and Airbus mainly whenever I travel, which used to be 10+ times per year long-haul worldwide. Never felt unsafe and that includes aborted takeoffs, engine fails on the ramp, and airpack breakdowns in-flight necessitating fuel-dump and go-back. These machines work. The FCC mandated engineering around flight safety in operations work.

But.. I trust the 74x and the 380/350 more than I trust the 787 and the MAX because of some spectacularly bad public engineering exposure.

The battery fire story, and the MAX-no-training-needed story are really not good for Boeing.

The whole "if it isn't boeing I am not going" thing is long long past.

on the jumbo, It wasn't the first 'passenger plane with a bump' -there was a couple of precursors in the pre-jet era, including one designed to carry a car in the body and pax up top. And, it wasn't the first with stairs by a long chalk, the flying boats had them as did some of the jet era precursors.

But, it was by far and away the bestest, most successful 4 engine plane. The life extension, (and length extensions!) over the series was amazing. As was the fuel economy and fitout. I think the decision by Lufthansa to re-tool on the 8 series was probably a huge mistake, but then so was QANTAS decision not to take the 777.

Airbus did good work with the 380. I think it is a fantastic ride as a passenger, in all classes, its quiet, and lovely and when full, good economic sense. But its dying from a change in the model.

The 747 is going to have a long life in cargo. I think even without a lift-nose this workhorse has a lot to go yet.

If you're referring to the mandate to say "logic board," I believe that is just a stylistic choice, not a cancellation of "main" in the sense you're thinking of.
