No my dude, you can find yourself on the other side of an argument without your opponents needing to be well-paid and delusional ;)

Nuclear energy accounts for about 6% of the world's energy mix. It is the safest source of carbon-free energy in terms of deaths per TWh in the world, leading to half a many deaths as industrial solar, 1/4 as many as wind and 1/10th as many as rooftop solar. [1]

The genuinely tiny amount of generated waste can simply be dropped into Yucca Mountain and never worried about again.

How afraid are you of, for instance, hydro power? Not very? Did you know Chernobyl, the worst radiological incident in the world killed 4,000 people in total? The worst hydro power accident, Bangqiao Dam, killed between 85,000 and 200,000 people [2].

I would also caution you against personal attacks, they're not welcome here.

Why would you watch it if you don't like it?
And fast! I got easily 3 orders of magnitude speedup. I used to load CSVs with pandas and do typical filtering operations... oh boy, some of the stuff would take a hole morning, not to mention the memory usage. I do all that in minutes now.
Whenever I see articles like this I wonder why few people realize the strawman being put up. Having a single energy source for all your needs is pretty dumb. We've always had a diversified portfolio and the reasons for such aren't going away anytime soon.
Wouldn't a better, but partial, solution be for browsers to preload the top x common libraries? All other libraries would probably have to follow this new rule.
Alternately, should ICANN be barred from ever turning off any domain for any reason whatsoever?
Partly. It's also just very expensive to build a nuclear plant.

It's also worth noting that cleanup costs in the case of a nuclear accident are capped by law at $200 million. Any costs above that are shouldered by the taxpayer. Cleanup costs for Fukushima are about ~$500 billion.
To achieve “defense in depth,” testing components in degenerate non-production situations (and then over engineering them to gracefully deal with those situations) is the only way to get there. Of course, we aren’t building bridges, so maybe it’s less important.
> if someone can show that an idea/approach/algorithm is fundamentally faster, more flexible, etc. it's generally been accepted, regardless if the proposer is a first-time contributor or not.

If you can submit a measurably faster csv implementation to cpython (without breaking existing code of course) I can guarantee it will be welcome whether you’re a first time contributor or not. Not sure about your definition of “more flexible”, if that entails breaking existing code then it may rightfully meet resistance.

Not sure why you’re implying other languages’ proposal processes are about pleasing a single core developer or playing some politics game. Sounds like either you have a lot more experience than I do and hence have been exposed to politics games or anything else non-meritocratic (that I haven’t sensed in CPython development, at least), or you just don’t have as much experience contributing to other languages.

(I'm a bit cranky today. Sorry if I sound aggressive.)

> The only issue with Python is speed

That's a big one. Memory usage and typing are other issues. That it doesn't really run in the browser is another. Or that it has more issues than C++ when trying to write a portable GUI.

It's fine for education and prototyping.
Sorry, not following how this counters any of my points. Shenanigans via anachronistic laws or corrupt cops isn’t related to encryption, and we know sophisticated criminals can employ their own privacy tools.

This article makes some good points but forgets this:
our knowledge increases constantly.

So today's reactors might not be able to scale well, but the more we build the better we are at it.
Sure, but until then, a checklist could be a $100 dollar solution for a hospital in Zambia until there is more money for a more advanced system.

I have only two things to say in response to this:

a) I use GraphHopper with OpenStreetMap.org sometimes. It is good. Sometimes too good. Can I ask it to stick to bigger roads at the cost of other things like travel time?

b) Thank you so much for bringing up the profit model and being transparent about it. Way too few people do that.
I think that is an unnecessarily negative view. By that logic, nobody should do anything because it will probably suck someday.
On the other hand, many important things move at a grinding pace in Python. Packaging and performance are two major issues for just about everyone I’ve spoken with who uses Python in a serious capacity, and these have been notorious problems for decades with no end in sight. Most of this seems to boil down to an unwillingness to encourage the ecosystem towards a narrower packaging format (“sorry, downloading a package and running setup.py just to determine the dependency set is insane and we’re going to deprecate that going forward”) or a narrower C extension interface that would be compatible with more aggressive optimizations. There’s value in stability, but if the governance model can’t pass these kinds of slow, steady changes for paramount issues, then perhaps new languages shouldn’t look to Python as a model for a well-governed language.

I would suggest Rust—I’m not a fanboy by any means, but Rust is a large, rapidly growing project that is unparalleled with respect to its rate of improvement as far as I’m concerned. I know recommending Rust for things is a cliche (esp “rewrite it in Rust”), but I would defy anyone to find a better governed language.

They actually called in Jet Fighters, Helicopters and a few thousand active military. After have at least 1000 police looking too. In total over 5000 personal to find one guy in a forest. Seems excessive.

> The dichotomy here illustrates a bias within human nature. For some reason people perceive a certain level of verbosity in code to be bad but not so in english. Given the fact that even among programmers English is much more readable than code I would say that there is definitely a huge unrealized mass delusion going on here.

People definitely perceive overly verbose English as bad. "Legalese" is essentially a pejorative for verbose language, and advice like "never use a long word where a short one will do" is common.
Well sure, so long as anti-nuclear campaigners continue to prevent the construction of Yucca Mountain, they can then continue to point to why we can't have nuclear because "where would we put the waste?"

The only reason Yucca Mountain doesn't exist is because of anti-nuclear campaigners. It was funded and shovel-ready until 2010.

Of course nuclear fuel has to be refined and mined, however the ecological impact is relatively minuscule because of the sheer energy density of uranium as compared to the neodymium magnets used in wind generation. Nuclear power plants last 40+ years, while wind turbines have to be replaced every 20 or when damaged.
This is pretty neat. I’m currently building a house and was planning to throw up some art pieces. Could you download these and send them to Sam’s Club or something to get them printed or would/is there anything wrong with that?
If I understand right, in this example FB would hold the keys to recover the cleartext and turn it over to law enforcement only when compelled to do so with a warrant.

This isn’t extreme at all.
Same here. Burned quite a few times trying out Julia stuff.

Last time it was because cold start times were unbearable (compared to Python/R/Stata/Matlab). My goal was to compare how regressions in a few software packages behaved with difficult datasets, so I had to open each of those, run a snippet of code, and log the output. Here, Julia's cold start (and importing the CSV, GLM, etc libraries) took way longer than all of the other tools together.

Only, not. The author never sets up any dichotomy at all, nor does he suggest the elimination of renewables. He merely suggests that nuclear have a higher priority, for reasons he then goes on to explain:

"That is why any climate plan that doesn’t prioritize nuclear above all other energy sources is destined to exacerbate climate problems rather than solve them. "
At the top end its different. There are many top of line bikes that follow the vaporwave aesthetic now, including a trek worth several thousand.

Thanks for providing references - there's some subtlety in the analysis you link to (on ourworldindata.org) about the human impact of nuclear energy production.

While it does state that nuclear and renewables are both comparatively much safer for humans than other forms of energy generation, it does contain two different harm rates for nuclear.

You're quoting a little selectively by stating that nuclear is safer; that corresponds with the 2016 study. The other study, published in 2007, states that renewables are safer.

Relevant snippet from the explainer section in the footer drop-down in the article:

"The largest differentiator here is the period which the Sovacool et al. (2016) estimates cover. They report normalized death rates over the limited period from 1990 to 2013. This means the 1986 Chernobyl accident was not included. Sovacool et al. (2016) only include deaths from the Fukushima accident, with 573 attributed deaths. It is useful to note here that not all deaths were a direct result of the accident: for Fukushima, there were no direct deaths from the disaster; one confirmed death from radiation exposure; and the rest noted as premature deaths from evacuation and displacement of populations in the surrounding area."
One thing I seldom see brought up is that different energy sources work best in different places. Solar works great in the Southwest. In the upper Midwest where it snows and is overcast a lot? Maybe not so much. Wind works better there, but wind may not be enough alone and requires even more storage as it usually peaks out of phase with peak demand.
Tape.
Green new deal is something we can have now, and something we needed ten years ago. Nuclear (on the scale needed for the climate disaster) takes decades to implement. We simply don’t have the time to omit a real and solution we can start now, for a more expensive dream solution.
Aside from what comes for free with "log-structured" there is no special treatment for temporal data.

I'd need to see the specific wording of the law, but it sounds like the exceptions need to be carefully examined. The ban in Boston enables the police to simply contract a private agency, for example; creating private surveillance companies with less oversight than the police. FR is a Pandora's Box, and it is already out in the public's hands. With legal exceptions and a history of simply ignoring legal transgressions when it comes to law enforcement, the situation does not look positive.
The biggest difference in these benchmarks comes down to how multiple threads are leveraged; (disclaimer: primary CSV.jl author here).

In CSV.jl, it was relatively straightforward to add multithreaded parsing support; we chunk up the file, find row starts, then spawn a threaded task to process each chunk. In data.table (fread), they have a constraint of R having a global String intern store; so it fundamentally restricts the multithreading capabilities by requiring strings to be interned sequentially. In pandas, there are similar nontrivialities jumping between the C++ source and python object world that adds a lot of complexity (and probably explains why no one has made the effort to do multithreaded parsing). It's interesting to note, however, that the apache arrow project (pyarrow package in Python), has a multithreaded csv parser integrated with the project. It provides similar performance to CSV.jl because it was built from the ground up to process chunks on multiple threads into "arrow tables". Unfortunately, it's tied very specifically to the arrow project, so pandas doesn't benefit from its work! It's one of my favorite features about Julia that CSV.jl automatically integrates with other "data table formats"; i.e. ODBC.jl, SQLite.jl, MySQL.jl, Arrow.jl, DataFrames.jl, etc. They can all leverage CSV.jl as "their csv parser" because it's seamlessly integrated via well-established "table" apis.
julia is interpreted -- it's type system enables the speedups often presented in benchmarks.

Here is what will happen: the task will be outsourced to some nebulous SaaS that has no FOIA obligations.
Same. I have found that I'm usually only interested in doing things I'm already good at, and cannot do well attempting to be an autodidact. The obligation of setting up and getting to an appointment on time means you have no choice but to have someone experienced see you work, and no choice but to have them guide you. If I am given a choice, as in left to my own devices without any other person to force or obligate me to keep going, I will usually end up stopping.

My biggest problem is either not being able to tell if I have actually made any progress, or have made too little progress over too long a period of time. It seems to be accepted that if you put in a lot of effort then you'll get better, but they never mention how much better. I don't see the point in getting to point X in 10 years when being smarter about my resources would have gotten me to point X in 3 years, if getting there faster means getting to the point where I actually start enjoying it faster. Time is precious and non-renewable. Some forms of practice are simply better than others, and I believe that I can't always figure them out entirely alone.
The recursive version of Fibonacci is generally not tail recursive, but f(n) = f(n - 1) + f(n - 2).
I remember a Popular Mechanics cover that indicated that soon, Nuclear reactors would be powering houses and even cars. I don't believe there's a practical limitation that means that a ship has to be huge to be nuclear powered. The limiting factor on cargo ship size is the Panama Canal; there's even a name for it, "Panamax."

(Note, there are ships that are larger (Post-Panamax), as well as Suezmax but they are obviously limited in use and less common)

Am I crazy, or did the Green New Deal have as an explicit goal the decommissioning of all nuclear plants?

EDIT: Ah, apparently that was in the initial released plan, but they changed the language to technically leave the door open for nuclear, without supporting it (and with occasional statements expressing disfavor towards nuclear as a piece of the plan)
Arguably the Right Answer wouldn't filter on a generator of all permutations but would generate the permutations in a way that didn't include invalid ones to begin with.

Something like:

def extend(perm):
for k in range(1,11):
if k not in perm and isprime(k + perm[-1]):
yield [*perm, k]

perms = [[]]
for _ in range(10):
perms = [extend(perm) for perm in perms]

(This is just a draft, but you get the gist)
Arguably not giving a damn caused the problem in the first place
A "guarantee" from the state is worth a lot less than face value as it can simply legislate away that guarantee.

I think there's a strong chance that Swift or Rust take a lot of Python's data science cake. Both of them are extremely fast, concrete, and have lots of investment being poured into numerics and fitting into the Python/ML ecosystem.

I don't think Julia or R are going to steal this away. In fact, I think Julia is a major turn off to engineers with some of the bizarre choices they made (eg. 1-based indexing to appease math-centric backgrounds). If you don't excite engineers, you're not going to get as many library and optimization contributions.

Julia feels like it came too late in the game and the newer entrants are making quick strides in the mathematics space.

I could be totally wrong. This is just my take, and I have no stake in this fight other than I want a good, safe, highly-compatible, and fast ecosystem to work with.
Ah, you know, I actually didn't catch that until after I posted. I used to use an older source that didn't make that distinction ([1]) but I had trouble finding it and dropped in the newer one after a cursory read-through. I appreciate you adding the clarifying analysis! I think the newer one provides a more balanced take.

I will say it seems disingenuous to include the death toll of the tsunami towards nuclear energy -- except of course the one individual who died of radiation exposure; I can't help but suspect the same ~500-ish people would have died had the plant been coal or oil.
