Yeah it's not clear to me why exposing the ability to configure your firewall, protected by a keypair, to the internet, is safer than just letting someone bang their head against sshd, protected by a keypair, and presumably having had a lot more eyes on it for security.
A whole lot of concrete, mostly.
Maybe my next setup will be a Tiger Lake ultrabook with an external GPU (RTX 3090?) through Thunderbolt.

An Ultrabook with AMD (4800U?) would also be interesting, but eGPU setups are more complicated without TB.

I also hope to see some benchmarks before deciding.

There is no a priori reason to think depression has an "evolutionary purpose" any more than to think a broken bone does.
I once built a simple website for a Netflix show where you could enter some text and it'd be played in an animation, but you could also save/share a video of it.

It was so much easier to build the animation in canvas for the site and just replay it to get frames for a video on the server than to try to make the video in some other environment and then show it in the browser.
Relying on an obviously unsustainable free plan to build something always felt icky to me, because it will inevitably break, and then you will have to deal with the fallout of a perhaps now-unsustainable project of yours, your investment upon which then could end up possibly sunk, leaving you worse off than not having started the project in the first place.

Paradoxically, a lower free tier makes me a lot more likely to use Gitlab CI now, since I now know they know their costs and limits, and from now on, not eating the cost for a future drop of the hammer in an undetermined timeframe.
I'll take a middle road here: I would recommend reading the book, but not uncritically.

It's valuable, and part of a conversation which is quite current.

So is C language a functional programming language?

Definition of functional (from Wikipedia page you linked to): In functional programming, functions are treated as first-class citizens, meaning that they can be bound to names (including local identifiers), passed as arguments, and returned from other functions, just as any other data type can.

In C language you can do all that. But C is not a functional programming language at all. Neither is Hooks functional. Even assembly language has "functions" but it is not a "functional language".

You need a sufficiently large reserve to allow the reactor to cool, not an infinite supply. Reactors can be shut down and in this case the pool is sized to absorb all decay heat from the shutdown, plus a significant safety margin.

"He also got into flamewars on Hacker News"

It's disappointing to see 'flamewar' contexualizxed after 'provoking interesting discussion'. Reading through Graeber's long, contradictory, insult-filled, self-important rants, I'm not sure what would motivate this contextualization.

Normally, I might assume good faith, but Graeber's polemical behavior characterizes both a significant part of his work and a significant part of his participation on his site. The contextualization of this kind of unhinged and hateful behavior as some sort of intellectualism is something I find especially repulsive and pernicious.

that was a test for a particular type of person that OP failed to pass. He could not lie to a simple question.
For an objective measure we expect/demand a measurement standard. There are standards that would say one way or the other is the only way, while there are other more relaxed standards that say either is acceptable. If you know the standard measure you can objectively say if "color" is correct or not.

For example, if we accept Merriam-Webster as our standard measure then in each case both spellings of color/colour and indexes/indices are acceptable. One might be preferred over the other but both are objectively correct.

We would then conclude that an author writing for a US audience (per the standard measure of Merriam-Webster) would not have erred in using colour (or color).
Having not used setcap, would that also require the setuid bit to be set with ownership as root (like sudo)? And reside on a filesystem without the nosuid mount option?
Thanks for doing the leg work. That's why I threw a question on the end - figured it would generate discussion more than anything.

I've done a few projects in mithril, and having used both jsx and hyperscript, I tend to lean jsx.

That comes with some very real downsides - mostly getting jsx to work requires a bunch of extra (ugly) tooling. On the other hand, very complex components look very clean.

Hyperscript when you have a relatively nested dom element gets quite messy and hard to visually parse for me.
Heard about Radithor, and old energy drink containing radium, on a podcast a while back: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radithor

> Eben Byers, a wealthy American socialite, athlete, industrialist and Yale College graduate, died from Radithor radium poisoning in 1932. Byers was buried in a lead-lined coffin; when exhumed in 1965 for study, his remains were still highly radioactive.

Apparently the bottles are still collectors' items.
>"ineffective and may cause dangerous side effects"

Dangerous on an individual level, not really. But at a population level if hundreds of millions of people start taking it, you're going to have high absolute numbers of bad side effects.

> is a purely political attack on the US president.

As for ineffective, there isn't one single national health agency that recommends taking it for covid. Surely the entire globe isn't killing scores of their citizens by preventing the use of an effective treatment just to make the US President look bad.

Since it's ineffective in this case, there's no benefit to outweigh the downsides of "dangerous side effects" like their is with aspirin or Tylenol.

You'd hope so. Reactors yes, but not spent fuel pools. Everyone misses things. I've found 3 design flaws myself in the industry. Not too big of a deal as actions can be taken to mitigate some of the flaws. The other flaws are less probable of causing an issue due to redundant and diverse systems but there's always the off chance...

I don't really disagree but I will single out Fox News because it's completely valid to do so.

Around 600-700 kWh per cubic meter depending on temperature. The reactor outputs around 200 MW thermal.

So if you have one of them in an olympic size swimming pool 50x25x2 meters, 2500 m^3, it'd need ~8 hours to evaporate the whole pool at full output.

If you assume decay heat as 1% of regular output (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_heat), you'd need to add (or have stored) ~3 m^3 of water per hour, or slightly less than a liter per second, to keep it from melting down.

If you assume an average of 2% for the first two hours, that'd be 8 MWh -> 12-13 m^3 for the first two hours, so a 5x5x5 = 125 m^3 pool (only considering the part above the "must always stay submerged" level) should be able to cool it for days.

I think _as long as the containment pool is intact_ (and you manage to SCRAM the reactor), this isn't going to be a major issue. But if e.g. an earthquake breaks the pool...
They shot an F4 target drone at a block of "reactor grade" concrete wall back in the 80s and they took measurements and did science on the resulting lack of damage and concluded that a reactor can shrug off one of anything. They didn't change containment buildings to be plane proof. It's just a side effect of the design required to contain a melting down reactor with a sufficient safety factor.
I had another person with the same name as me put my email address in his resume. I started getting a heap of emails to come in for interviews, in a small town in Northern Ireland that my family emigrated to Australia from 150 years ago.

What’s keeping the nuclear fusion so long? It’s much safer.

Can we use Thorium for now?
This is not a direct answer, but:

1. Uva is the cause of most skin cancer

2. Uvb generates vitamin d and sunburns

3. When uvb is present, you can make sufficient vitamin d quite quickly

This would suggest you would want sunscreen for longer exposures, or with much uva exposure. And could get vitamin d from a briefer exposure pre sunscreen.

I can’t say how completely sunscreen blocks vitamin d however.
Sign up to TheGliese and discover a new world
Looking at https://www.sjc.edu/academic-programs/undergraduate/great-bo..., this is definitely a good list of "foundational texts of Western civilization" as they say, but the world is a lot more interconnected than it was in 1696, and this curriculum leaves out most of it. There's nothing wrong with studying one part of the world or one community of ideas as long as you're open about it, but I don't think I would be comfortable calling this a well rounded education in the modern world.

The about page says "students study the works of history’s greatest thinkers." I mean, come on. There's not a single "great thinker" in all of history outside of Europe, the Roman Empire, and the US? How are you supposed to defend the ideas of Western Civilization if you have no idea what the alternatives are?

It reminds me a little of some culinary schools where the whole curriculum is based on French cooking, and you take like one class on "global cuisine" that covers the entire rest of the world. You can't pick one focus area and claim it's all you need for a full education.
This is so grossly political that it's disgusting. Clearly the administration sees Google through the lens of an adversary, which is astonishing enough.

When reading something like this, "according to five people briefed on internal department conversations." is the first clue. You have mass leakage of internal discussions, with career ending consequences. You can't have any greater signal that something is very wrong, and that people believe the chain of reporting is compromised.

The question of whether Google represents a monopoly is critical for every software professional in this forum, and it is a trillion dollar US company that represents most people's discovery platform for information. It has has nuance, and there are gray areas that are going to have generational impact when they are litigated. It an important legal question and not well served by a thin case served out two months from an election.

Can You Actually Do Well by Doing Good?
I'm not as down on Noah Smith as many, but this is honestly a pretty bad review.

He basically admits to having trouble understanding it owing to it being disorganized (a point he repeats frequently). But then he complains about people who criticize him for not making good faith attempts understanding what they're saying. Then he spends way too much of it trying to criticize anyone who would tell him it's bad and even spends an entire paragraph talking about how he suspects Graeber is a public intellectual who bristles at criticism before going on to pre-emptively bristle at any potential criticism of his review.

Not his best work, to be sure.
I would agree, Bullshit Jobs has content that is understandable, if not immediately relatable, to anyone who has spent any time in the workforce. It can be a powerful read indeed.

Debt is more academic, and it uproots many societal misconceptions about money and debt through the aeons. It is an excellent read for anyone interested in anthropology/sociology/economics, but it is dense and it is not an easy read.

As other posters pointed out, you can read Bullshit Jobs in a couple of days, but Debt can easily take months to finish.
Thanks for your reply!

I don't think I've been "wiped out" as you say. So maybe this is more psychological or something different. Or if I ever had it, it might have affected me differently. Who knows!

Honestly. I’m making a simple point that giving people a free, normal dose would be beneficial to them either way. So why not.

I heard you the first time. You're missing my point. You are arguing about domain squatters in general.

This article is not about domain squatters in general. It's about the owner of quirk.uk leading to the Op making a generalize statement about domain squatters. The two are not equal.

Lets say someone posted to HN that Google banned them. Without Google's side of the story, and questioning if there are other details, we take the author's word and assume Google is the bad guy. But it turns out the author was a spammer and Google had good reason to ban the guy. But you don't know that and don't have context for that because none of that was posted in the author's post. Do you just jump the bandwagon and start attacking Google in general ignoring the point the author is making?

The same applies here. It's one thing to have a discussion about domain squatters (this is not it). It's an entirely different argument when this is about Op and the owner of a specific domain, leading him to make a generalized statement that none of us can even confirm is true about the owner or not.

It would be nice if I didn't have to allow third party scripts (from bootstrapcdn and googleapis in this case) in order to view the dashboard. Is there some technical reason the health page can't be entirely first party? (This comment is based on the example status page you linked.)
Hello HN,
I’m Jan, creator of DocTemple.

The idea came from doing much more advanced version for one of my customers where he needed a tool to fill repetitive templates with data from the database. Employee enters database id and based on the data it filled it accordingly (with loops and conditional statements within document).

After working on it I was like „Wait a minute, there has to be more companies that are underserved in that specific area of filling templates manually.” So I created a completely new app based on the same idea - to let people fill thousands of templates in minutes instead of hours. And to let them do it in simple fashion. I truly hope I achieved that.

After long 6 months of developing my own product (there where months that I had only 2 days to work on it because day job and life + never implemented payments before) and making sure everything works as I wanted I can finally say it’s ready to show it to the world.

For sure the biggest challenge here will be to find the companies that actually need it.

I hope you will like this little tool! If anything you can reach me out here and on the chat on the site as well.

Thanks and looking forward to your thoughts and feedback!
The Complicated Legacy of Colonial Conduct
There is a debate between the two of them on youtube that's pretty interesting
Well, according to "Sustainable Energy Without the Hot Air"

>Japanese researchers have found a technique for extracting uranium from seawater at a cost of $100–300 per kilogram of uranium, in comparison with a current cost of about $20/kg for uranium from ore. Because uranium contains so much more energy per ton than traditional fuels, this 5-fold or 15-fold increase in the cost of uranium would have little effect on the cost of nuclear power: nuclear power’s price is dominated by the cost of power-station construction and decommissioning, not by the cost of the fuel. Even a price of $300/kg would increase the cost of nuclear energy by only about 0.3 p per kWh. The expense of uranium extraction could be reduced by combining it with another use of seawater – for example, power-station cooling.
