Q. How did Napoleon's HQ decide which branch to assign butterbars fresh from the academy?

A. Oral exam. Ask each candidate the same question: what is 2+2?

If he answers "4": artillery

If he yells out "3!" upon hearing just "2 plus...": cavalry

If he counts on his fingers under the table: infantry

If he asks "what would you like it to be?": logistics

It's not that simple. If you want to build more nuclear plants at the same time you also need more workers, more specialized factories and a proven design that has been field tested so that you don't end up with a fleet of defective plants after you have built 100 of them.

>It's not as if you build one, wait until it's completely finished

If you assign a worker to Hinkley C then he is going to work at Hinkley C until it is finished. You can't just send him to a different plant. That would delay Hinkley C.

Totally agree with this. I make music on an iPad with zero external gear and I've come to embrace this limitation as a deliberate choice that make me think more creatively about how to achieve what I want. Even down to the DAW I use -NanoStudio 2 - it lack's some pretty essential features like AUFX automation, but it's so well thought out in terms of how you use it on a touch screen that I'd rather work to its limitations than use something like Cubasis which really gets in your way in terms of interaction design.
I like this one ;)
There’s no need, though: the entry point and return address are unique; it’s literally code that is sliced out, jumped to, and it jumps back to the function it was cut out of. The only thing you’d need to save is a register or two if you can’t make the jump without doing some math.
But then, history is written by the victors. The system would certainly write a history that appears supportive of its own necessity. History is an 'interpretive' act. It is does not accurately relay the truth.

You have absolutely no idea about what transpired in the past, except what you have been taught. And you were taught within the system. Perhaps you should watch 'The Village' :)

There is no need to have “type” tests in dynamically typed languages. Dynamically typed objects are implementation details, you test without referring to the underlying types.

Also, static types _are_ manual testing, you need to write the types.
Sorry, I strongly dislike both "Work harder" and "Never give up". How hard is hard enough? When you're burnt out? Or even harder still? And why _never_ give up? What if you're "not giving up" pursuing a wrong thing? If you "give up" and start pursuing the right thing, why is this bad? What is "giving up" anyway. Not sure if trivializing these questions is necessarily productive.
Much of the older environmental movement was anti-nuclear first. Before global warming became a key issue the big threat was the instant obliteration of a large fraction of humanity by nuclear weapons, and since civilian power and weapons were tightly linked this led to campaigning against nuclear power. There were also lots of issues with waste dumping.

This goes all the way back to the French government murdering a protestor and sinking a ship to suppress protests; the Rainbow Warrior.
Does A) matter? In terms of evaluating the value I would care about the number of shares and their likely value (now and in the future). If that is 2% of the company or 1% why does that matter?

B) is going to have a bigger impact on evaluating how valuable the offer is but as another poster said, it's almost impossible to know.

I'm currently using a Jekyll based theme to host my blog via GitHub pages. I'll most likely switch to static-site generator using zola [0]. I don't much know about web development, but fine with markdown based site generation. Was struggling with zola docs, until I found that I can simply clone themes [1] and replace the sample posts. I'll go through settings later. Best thing I like about zola is that I get a single binary (this is based on rust) and I don't have to fiddle with npm, etc.

Non specialists are totally unaware of the extreme difficulty of performing solo live music, particularly with polyphonic instruments like piano or classical guitar.

As a music teacher I have assessed many students at that level, and as a performer I know pretty well what stage fright is. So I completely understand these feelings.

Some of my best students suffer from stage fright more than the rest of them.

My hypothesis is that the richer and deeper the message one can and want to express, the clearer her awareness of being far from her intention and, therefore, the bigger the chance to make mistakes.

The is certainly unfair. Better students may fail more than average students because they are better in their musical thought and musical capabilities.

Other ways of evaluating musical performance would be more adequate. One would be to collect recordings (with no post-processing) that students could prepare outside the stage with professional recording tools. The live performance assessment is still necessary, but not the only measure.

The gap between playing excellently and doing so at the stage is huge, and extra musical factors play an important role.

For doing well in live concerts you need specific preparation, you need to know and play by heart and fluently everything, of course. Then, you need to train on different stressing scenarios particularly designed to test that you can keep playing so. Finally, you need self-confidence on your own skill.
Some people find useful to nurture their self-esteem; others (me among them) prefer to cultivate humility: what matters most is the music I'm playing, not me. The ideal is to become completely transparent at the stage so that the musical essence passes through me as it should sound.

I will be honest, I didn’t think Wordpress would last this long. However, there are some great (free) alternatives to getting a website up and running. Google Sites is one not mentioned in the article. It can handle basic needs for most people without technical skills. Speed is not the greatest however. With something like Tailwind CSS it’s very easy to create a static webpage to host on Github/Netlify.

We have passed the peak of oil production. Nuclear is the only solution to mitigate the crisis we are going to face. I think we will need to get rid of nuclear at long term (like 50 years). But for the next 20 years (probably 40), we need nuclear.

A tree is a graph without cycles. A graph is a relational structure E(a,b) which can easily be stored in tables. This is why relational databases like SQL store tables. So there's nothing exceptional about storing graphs, and adjacency lists or matrices are all fine.

To connect with the other threads, SQLite would be probably the best candidate proposed here to store a tree.

Compared to what? On a normal year air pollution (combustion waste) kills 500,000 - 2,000,000 people, nuclear waste kills 0.
It just seems like a convenient thing for people to be tribal over, while as a whole they achieve nothing. There's is a scene in red dwarf where there is a holy war over the colour of the hats people should wear. This is the same thing as far as I can tell.
The only problem is that if you tell everyone that we have plenty of time then nobody is going to do anything until it is too late. I hate sensationalism in both directions but as it is right now, humans certainly aren't going to stop at 2 degrees.
Insanely powerful.

You can't get rid of nuclear in 50 years, the decay products take centuries to become safe.

You're talking about a problem that applies to projects that take on the scale of months, because you can't train new people that fast.

You can go from the existing stock of people with degrees in things like physics and chemistry to a graduate degree in nuclear engineering in less than three years, much less doing that for construction work.
People in western countries had to bloody fight each mm, for those laws. Laws that are always eroding. Is a sisyphean task, even here.

Developing countries are sovereign and have governments and armies. Prominent environmentalists are assassinated each year in those countries and the cases remain inexplicably unsolved. All the time.

So, no more excuses and "come here and solve my environmental problems so I don't need to". No more "donate to save the rainforest for 40 years, so we can sell later the logs to the first company that knocks at my door". People can always choose not to vote for the mentally damaged candidate.

"What you do at 8PM matters [...] what you do at that time will determine what you'll be in 10 years."[1], back then I was playing video games at 8PM, or watching Netflix, probably until 2-3 in the morning, I sold my gaming computer and replaced that time with learning new things, working on my side projects, reading, or sleeping. Every time I feel like getting some cheap dopamine shot I simply remember that quote, and immediately get motivated to do something better for myself.

I was in exactly the same situation you're in. Wrote about this a while ago: https://rohitpaulk.com/articles/vim-to-emacs.

I don't think you are right.

I have been in position where I was at the brink of panic.
That tingling sensation that slowly build up to feeling of total doom.

That quote was always an ancor point for me.
Not fear but panic is a killer. A total emotional overload is something that will kill you when in dangerous position.

I agree fear is part of you and can be useful when handled well.

Panic is fully negative state when fear takes over and you are running on pure emotion.

And that's what I always considered this quote to be referring to. Uncontrolled fear will paralyses your decision making making your life worse.

C++ stdlib code often has these ultra-deep callstacks.
I would never want to go back to the original CLI.

I'm constantly doing things like reverting single hunks, applying and saving stashes, looking at a stash and applying a single hunk from there, staging hunks into multiple commits — all of this is much quicker with Magit. It changed the way I use git.

If all you do is simple commits, branch checkouts and cherry-picks, you might not need it. But there is so much more to Git, and Magit makes it nice and quick.
Mental health is indeed very complex, and spans far, far more than just affective disorders. Unfortunately the advocacy/discussion around it begins and ends with affective disorders the vast majority of the time.

Even considering just that axis, I'm not sure how one would define a spectrum that has low-grade symptoms on one end and manic episodes on the other. If anything there is a spectrum of affective states ranging from severe depression to severe mania, with most people at most times clustered around the origin point - and even at that, you can't map it to a line with two ends because mixed states exist.

Speaking to your specific case, and also for anyone who might be in the same shoes: suicidal ideation isn't the sole purview of depression or even of mood disorders as a whole, and I really wish the conversation around mental health would expand enough for more people (both patients and healthcare providers) to actually tackle it properly. Besides that I don't think you need to encourage anyone "not to be [you]"; you've found something that works for you, which is more than can be said of the healthcare system sometimes.
They should educate their developers before allowing them to write and release code to public. Educate in many ways, not just to write in English, but to write appropriate code that follows established rules and practices, the code that is clean of commented out lines of rudimental code. Otherwise in some fraction of time we get overwhelmed with cryptic unreadable, unmaitainable code that noone understands. I don't think open source community deserves this.

I myself rarely release my code to public exactly by this same reason - I consider it buggy, bogus and does not deserve to be published.

And yes I have to deal with chinese written code quite a lot (because we are using chinese microcontrollers and CPUs in our devices) and I'm damn tired of that bad smelling stuff.

I was aleays intrigued by constant arguments around cost.

Maybe energy is too cheap! An average pair of jeans is travels the world 3 times at various stages of manufacture and distribution. That shouldnt be happening
>I urge you to do some more research on modern renewable technologies

I see no evidence that solar and wind can actually replace fossil fuels. I think they are great in niche areas, but I see no evidence that they are even a partial solution to climate change. The nature of solar energy and wind energy is such that it is diffuse, and therefore needs massive number of collectors, and that requirement is directly proportional to population size, and per capita energy use (both of which are going up). This also means that you need to over-provision because solar and wind output varies daily, seasonally and even inter-annually (there are years when wind output is high, and years when it is low). And there is no battery technology now, or upcoming, that is capable of even storing that energy to even bridge daily variability at city-scale (for even a moderately-sized city).

Occasionally you'll see an article about some small country X getting 100% of their energy from renewables. In every case, that 'renewable' is hydro or geothermal (and hydro/geothermal is great and better than nuclear ... but only if you have the geography for it). It is never solar or wind. Every week for the last decade we have an article about how cheap (and getting cheaper) solar and wind is, and yet no country or even region is powered solely through these renewable. Germany is investing heavily in wind, while at the same time building pipelines to ship Russian gas for decades - WHY?!?!

Maybe renewable just can't do it and we should be honest about that. I think solar and wind are a distraction and they've become a religion.

By the way, here's a live view of the energy mix of my home province of Ontario (pop ~15 million)[1]. Because of nuclear and hydro we're pretty much at 85%-97% non-carbon power any given day ... and yet there is an irrational push for solar and wind (which also requires investment in natural gas) - what does solar and wind do for us? As a bonus, Ontario is one of the few places that you can make a credible argument against nuclear because we could sign long-term contract to ship hydro from Quebec ... but that's not the argument being made. The argument being made is that we should decommission nuclear in favour of ... can you guess? ... wind and solar - guaranteeing that we would need to build up natural gas for baseload. Insanity.

>specifically with regard to baseload

They need fossil fuel baseload. That's a fact. There is some talk about bio-fuels (i.e. burning wood!) but that's a disaster for the environment. We'd literally be clearing land to grow things that we then burn. And did you ever imagine that the energy technology of the future would be burning wood (or corn, or garbage)? And outside of biofuels, there is nothing else. In some cases, if you have the geography for it maybe you can build a pumped-storage reservoir, but that's the best you can do.

"Organic material" as in organic chemistry as in compounds that form carbon-hydrogen bonds - stuff made up mostly of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and the halogens.

The correct term is heterotrophic but even that is a fuzzy distinction because many (if not most) plants require symbiotic bacterial/fungi colonies due to nitrogen depletion and there are plenty of parasitic plants that can't produce their own nutrition.

Clean classification of such abstract groups after billions of years of evolution is impossible.
Yep.

The total levelized cost of energy (LCOE[1]) for both wind and solar is now lower than nuclear: it's cheaper to procure equivalent power production via non-nuclear means.

The UK's Business, Energy and Industry Strategy department published energy production cost estimates in 2016[2], and the Open Energy Information organization has collated similar statistics[3].

You're spot on that post-energy-generation storage remains a problem - I'd be really glad to hear if anyone in this thread has up-to-date knowledge of where we are with regards to that.

I saw my dog reasoning the other day.

Unfortunately he's been to the vet rather too often in his life. It's in the neighbourhood, so if we're out and he thinks I'm taking him there, he starts to think about ways to avoid it, and pulls me along alternative routes. Every walk's a negotiation between me and his determination to avoid the vet.

Anyway, he got attacked on Monday and I had to take him to get stitched up. This made him extra wary of having to go there again, and it resulted in him trying to drag me along a path he has never walked down in his life, because it's a) through a kids' playground and b) a dead end. But he THOUGHT it would take him away from danger.

So yeah, you can say he was responding to hormones if you like, I'm sure that's true. But he was acting on a hunch, or a hope, not on knowledge.
The storage of nuclear waste for the time during which it needs to be stored without leaking is not a problem that has been solved, no matter how much government officials like to claim that it has. You can tell this is the case by looking into how these storage facilities actually do in practice.

That's leaving aside the problem of them inevitably breaking, which they absolutely will. Even if it only happens very few times, that's enough to ruin a very large swathe of environment. The risk is low, the impact is very very high.
I feel that untill the last coal powerplant is gone, splitting hair on ecobalance is a distraction.
