IIRC it bootstraps from a prescheme-like language into a Smalltalk-like dynamic language ( https://www.piumarta.com/software/maru https://www.piumarta.com/software/cola ), and uses PEG parsers ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMeta ) to implement domain-specific languages, e.g. the Nile graphics language ( https://github.com/damelang/nile )
Anyone know of there is a connection beyond history and a logo between the nuclear power plant company and the household lighting company?

This also requires one to have no friends or family that upload photos of them, no corporate profile photos linked to talks given...

It certainly is possible, but the bar is high and grows higher the more people in one's life.

I was looking at the maps for this on the USGS site and thought that the location of the blast cant be that accurate surely?

Image from the BBC showing the location of the blast on a satellite image:

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/live-experience/cps/624/cpsprodpb/v...

It looks like the crater (crater! wow this was huge) was almost exactly where USGS plotted it to be, like down to a couple of meters.

Are the earthquake sensors that are in use really this so specifically accurate?
The H1B people pay US tax as well, though, right? So there's still savings.
I agree that "Demo" does make it seem like more of an enterprise application. I got a similar feeling about "Free Demo" and, to me, it felt like it cheapened the product.

I've played around with different words and phrases, and I think matching your other buttons actually works the best. I took two screenshots, one title case and one sentence case. I like sentence case but it's inconsistent with your "Sign Up" button.

Addons pose a significant increased security risk. (I would honestly advocate for the radical position of requiring you enable a "allow addons" checkbox, with a warning, before installing any browser extensions.)

I absolutely agree that browser vendors have huge conflicts of interest, and we need to address those by forcibly separating browsers from companies inherently in conflict with privacy.
> the problem is that basic competency in design and construction logistics have been lost

I don't think this is just a nuclear problem. This is a civil engineering problem more broadly. IMO, the exact same forces which make nuclear impractical now are also responsible for the horrific budget explosions and overruns in big projects all over the US.

I apprenticed with my Dad. The first two rules he taught me have stuck with my my whole life:

1) Treat every wire as if it was hot. Even if you know it's not.
2) A good electrical connection must first have a good physical connection.

Not sure why that second rule sticks with me :) but there has been more than one occasion when I'm fairly sure the first rule has saved me from a bad shock. And you're right - treating the wires as if hot means you can actually work with hot wires for a lot of simple things.

I still turn off the breaker though :)
but any linguist can tell you that is not how language works. words are NOT their etymology. and words are as much about their sound as any potential explicit connotations
I have this theory that it's because of the "A/B-ification" of all web development. Our brains like novelty, and so when we see a different shape from what was there yesterday we instinctively prefer it, and so the A/B test dutifully reports that the new one performs better. And then two years later the same test tells you that people prefer the old shape, which is now new again.
As an American who looks at WeChat and sees a massive, unintuitive jumbled mess, you've explained in this comment how that could possibly be so popular in China!

I feel foolish for not having realized that the UX must make perfect sense to everyone who has used WeChat since the days of it being a simple communication app.

By that logic, I'm not sure we could say quite yet that Instagram's bundling is a mistake.
All "inc's" are not C-corps.

I'm just not seeing it. Flat panel display costs scales according to area. The Tesla 3 has a huge display. It surely costs a lot. And, Tesla isn't the kind of company that is either interested in or able to optimize for cost. They sell expensive cars and they lose a lot of money on them. They're also notorious for having ridiculously expensive assemblies, like the $2000 headlights of the Model S.

To me, the much more plausible aspect of the explanation is they think it looks cool/futuristic and their buyers are buying for reasons other than usability.
Sounds great, for using this in a financial environment it will need an option for data anonymization, I'm not sure how can you identify what needs to anonymized without human interaction though.
I couldn't get this to happen with Google — every result was for typescript. I tried using duckduckgo and every result but one was porn.

The Intercept Reporters Covering BlueLeaks Data Do an AMA
I deal with a fair bit of customers like this (not via my business), enough that firing them all isn’t an option because it’s a large portion of the market where I am. It’s something. They’ll have low end servers with no redundancy, terrible or no backups, and no contingency plans for anything. They won’t spend a nickel and are the most likely to lose their minds if anything goes wrong.

It’s so frustrating and stressful.
Disks aren't that sensitive to motion.

At my last job, we had 2 airplanes with 5 computers each with 6 disks each mounted in an aircraft. These were regular servers from Dell, not special hardened or resilient hardware or anything. So 60 or so hard disks flying around. Takeoffs, landings, turbulence. Two flights per day, 3 hours each flight, 6 days per week. So 626 landings per year.

Disk failures were not particularly common.

“The new version of the website was built out of a desire to make the documentation for TypeScript feel as expansive as its type-system, ”

I don’t know if I would call it “expansive”. I’d call it modern, powerful, efficient.

I say this thinking that most web developers view type systems as constraining, the opposite of expansive.
Samsung announces the Galaxy Z Fold 2 with bigger screens and better cameras
Competitors are also multi-billion corporations. I do work for one of those big multi-billion corporations, it's my second, and I've also worked for others not so big. Only newbie engineers fresh out of college believe the myth of the genius engineer who gets grossly overcompensated because they're so smart. You can find 10s of thousands of brilliant engineers in any of these companies, that's the bottom line. Not a single one of them is, on their own, irreplaceable. Specially valuable individuals get awarded distinctions like "fellow" or "distinguished". They're valuable, more than anything else, because of their contacts and rapport within the industry. It's never technical competency; not that they're technically incompetent, but most of their underlings will likely be more technically competent than them (if they're smart, after all, they will do the technical work). If you haven't figure this out yet, don't worry, you'll get there.

Yes, but what will we do if/when wind and solar just "doesn't work anymore". In the US trains "don't work anymore"... but they do in other countries. This gradual erosion of technical capability is a generic problem the US needs to solve. Nuclear is a case study of what is wrong and where the problems are (political, business, education).
The link is 404'd?

(Chrome, Windows 10, London based, other github links working fine)
People have been saying for 30 years that solar/wind are going to take off and that we don't need nuclear.

We are now in a climate crisis, and solar/wind is still a fraction of the energy portfolio.

We als can't build nuclear anymore, because we have lost decades of experience.

I really hope you are correct this time.
You can use public key encryption which is indistinguishable from uniform. E.g. using ECDH w/ ellegator and ed25519 for the key agreement.

Then the recipient of the stego need only publish the public key. If the encoding software were part of standard linux distributions (even if just specialized security conscious distros), then the sender could obtain it without identifying themselves.

I don't think you can tackle the problems in isolation: There isn't much point in making uniform encryption if the embedding gives it away to anyone who's looking. :)

> but who are you sending these messages to?

One scheme I've been fond of is where the recipient announces their public key and that they'll accept messages in images posted to some moderately high traffic public picture board, like r/naturepics. Then then simply download and process all images submitted there.

The sender has an easy and obvious cover story for their posting and can produce as many images they need just by visiting a park with a camera.
> To remove uncertainties in the location associated with seismic methods, we fix the location to the location seen in videos of the blast.

Yeah, that too. I just wish we could get past the transitional reactionary phase already, wherein the mere use of these new phrases triggers endless arguments, and people (who clearly know what the terms mean) can just get over it and let them pass without content.

Maybe the mods should step in with some guidance. They already don't like extended discussions of politics because it devolves into flame wars too easily; maybe they should enforce the same on discussions of whitelist/blacklist/master/slave/etc terminology? Like, just let people use the new terms, no arguing about it?

The incremental build is probably a big part of it. More volume and minor failures = more practice time and experience. How does someone "practice" building a nuclear power plant when failure can be so catastrophic?
You're comparing apples to oranges here. WeChat is a "superapp" platform for doing distinct things: chat, payments, ticket bookings, etc. Instagram's features, on the other hand, are all purely social networking.
You seem to have well informed flexible friends, who are willing to try something "new". I wish I could get a handful of my friends to use something like Signal. Best even something not requiring a phone number. It's stupid that Signal wants a phone number. What has my phone number to do with chatting via Internet?

Any advice how to get your friends to switch, when they do not care much about their privacy and have a defeatism attitude with regard to guarding their privacy or simply do not understand, that their actions affect their friends?
I love how people here are trying to say that technology simply does not progress forward for nuclear, as it does for every other technolgy.

I disagree: Nobody really knows how close or far AGI is, because we don’t know enough about our own minds to tell how close we are to reproducing them.

Step 4 has happened many times in this history of AI, but how many more are there between what we have and what we want? We’ll find out by trying. Might be GPT-4, might be 2032 (my personal guesstimate), might be 2100.

If this was always as simple as throwing more compute and more data at it… then my optimistic forecast in 2009 would’ve been right and companies like Google and Tesla would have stopped shipping their cars with steering wheels in 2020 year, after about two years of their AI being demonstrably superhuman.
> As with many voice control systems, you have to say a specific phrase, which presents a discovery problem: how do users learn that phrase unless they're the kind of people who search out documentation on the internet.

Africa was in Europe's back yard yet when they got the opportunity they colonized the Americas. Colonizing a formerly unexplored place where nobody has yet laid claim has a lot of appeal (and this time we (probably) don't have to kill/displace the natives to do it).

TikTok would love that 50/50 JV with a FAANG / with tech transfer instead of sale, if only treatment were proportional and reciprocal.
Luckily, Mozilla is a non-profit organization. Their interests do not conflict with protecting their users.

But it makes you wonder, if other browser vendors' interests do conflict with ad blocking, why would they ship with uBlock Origin? They would want to control what most people do by controlling the defaults. The vast majority of users never change the default settings.
The US and UK both produce more STEM graduates than there are jobs for at all levels, whether BSc or PhD. Computing hoovers many of them up, but not all.
Serverless Architecture Explained
Real traffic exposes wrong assumptions in code, which cannot be caught with unit or integration testing. Awesome to automate this kind of testing. I encourage people to invest heavily in setting up artificial environments to replay historical data.

One benefit of the artificial environment is efficiency (can cover e.g. a week of historical data); this also requires mocking out time with simulation/replay time. The integration with data-platforms makes a big difference as it means data-scientists can help set up the right test scenarios.
That moves the money to be spent on SEO instead of going directly to Google, doesn't it? It's less predictable, but unless you do it, you won't be seen, ever, anywhere, by anyone.
Java absolutely requires more memory; less so in 14, but still. That does not, however, make your point about either performance or energy, both of which are wrong.

> If a webapp performs similar to this experiment, I could rewrite it in almost any other language and I’d cut the required number of servers in half or more.

Nope. Because you gain in performance where you lose on memory. If you add more RAM, you'd pay for less hardware and consume less energy.

Anyway, if you last experienced Java in version 8, try 14. It's not what you might remember. You'd likely see a 10-40% reduction in cost-per-transaction, plus very low pauses with the new GCs. OpenJDK's VM in 14 is just significantly different from what it was in 8.
Same goes for renewables, but the electrons are cheaper and easier to get on the grid!
Which is why AWS instances should be no more than minions in a load balancer pool, and any permanent state on an EBS volume or a managed storage service.
Ask HN: How do you cope with political stress (and get work done)?
In many countries, it seems like we're living through a time of political turmoil. Here in the US, of course, there's the election and associated shenanigans. I'm personally not in a situation I can get more involved, given Covid, kids, and a parent with a terminal condition. Still I feel guilty I am not doing more.

Do you have a way for tuning out / coping with the ongoing political turmoil to get work done?
Traditional light water reactors are pretty much dead at this point, they are not economic with the layers upon layers of required safety equipment.

What's needed is simplification - there are a wide range of inherently / passively-safe Generation 4 designs - of which my particular interest is in the molten salt designs (e.g. Terrestrial Energy's Integral MSR) which could be made MUCH smaller, simpler and cheaper than traditional reactors. These might never clear the various financial, regulatory and technical hurdles, but one can hope...
Whenever finding stuff like this, I always wonder: do the authors know, and expect their audience doesn't? do the authors not know, and neither does the audience?

Entrepreneurial Mindset: How to Think Like an Entrepreneur
That's a fine book. But to answer that question surely calls for emperical data?

Generations of teachers of mathematics-- surely not all incompetent-- have found that many people, perhaps most people, do not love math. There are very good teachers (I had a few), and very good ways to teach it (shout out to the Mr Barton Maths podcast), but experience shows that it is a hard go much of the time.
that's the root of it right? Many app servers or "wafs" inject/validate csrf tokens on requests/responses. There may be a way to set the SameSite flag on cookies at the server level without even having to touch app code. "if SameSite isn't set then set it to None".

I've been running into this issue in an number of projects all involving SSO and custom in-house IDP implementations. It's an easy fix but getting the teams together and coordinated has been the hardest part.
As a counterpoint, I worked for a place that used Mac Minis inside spinning displays and the hard disks absolutely did not like it one bit.

(They also tried spinning disk machines on buses which also failed quickly but that was more the grime and electrical noise than the motion, IIRC. Then they tried mini-servers running from CF and the motion would slowly work the CF cards out of their sockets. The company did not last long.)

Who know, maybe its true. Though all I can see is: 'buying out promising products before they are going to become your rivals' mentality.

It might be a successful strategy to run a business when you are big enough to do it (as long as your buyouts are correct).

I heard about facebook from a friend when it was still exclusive and I joined when it was opened up.
Now I open it up at what seems exponential intervals, and each time it seems my disappointment with the platform is also exponential.

Its a mess filled with garbage mixed with adds that pretend to be content.
> Again if your making a bunch of work around, it gets in the way of actual work.

Yes. But it’s not getting in the way that much.

code-server is exactly what you were asking for, an IDE on iPad. You’re moving the goalposts here and not even specifying why and where to.

> With your rational, I could do development on my phone as a thin client.

No. You’re taking my argument ad absurdum. I’m saying the tradeoff isn’t that bad on iPad. That says nothing about phones.
Yes but it is especially uncool and if it stays uncool it will be a future myspace. Instagram is still ok, but even there. It's sliding.

But I think Zuck knows this and buys up enough up and comers to probably stay ahead on enough things.

Good news is, this is next on the test program. They'll be testing the "belly flop" with this vehicle in the next few flights. So they'll see any problems with it before they get too far.

I don't see much reason to be worried about changing orientation in the long term. It's not in a particularly exotic flight regime (subsonic, lower atmosphere) and so long as the vehicle has sufficient control authority (and it will) anything that would cause that maneuver to fail would cause any other maneuver, like landing, to fail as well. The F9 actually already does a (less dramatic) version of this, and has never had a problem in that phase of flight.

Zuckerberg is very smart and his mission and vision of Facebook was very straightforward to make Facebook a social utility and that's what it is becoming. I think Facebook is a way to connect to people in a more general way but there will be always all sort of niche social apps like Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok etc.

Btw UI and UX need to evolve but to the point where they don't become bloated.
It's a good point, but I think we can fix trains more easily than nuclear power plants, because as you point out at least the trains are a solved problem in many other countries that would simply just emulate. And passenger trains have serviceable enough fallbacks (planes, Megabus, etc.), like solar/wind are proving to be fallbacks for nuclear.
Hi, I'm the author— this is 98% confidence.
Wait until this guy finds out France is nearly all nuclear and did it at 1/10th the cost of solar and wind.
