Gentoo is secure, as far as you can be secure by building a bunch of code few have time to review on hardware few have time to fully understand running in an insecure world.

So, I don’t fault it.

However, if you don’t include dependencies and you don’t manage them, which would be the case in modern environments for the majority of users in the world, how is that safe?

Answer: it’s not.

coal plants, even so-called “clean coal” emit more radiation in one year than a nuclear plant does over its entire lifetime

That is incorrect. You may be thinking of this Scientific American article:

"Coal Ash Is More Radioactive Than Nuclear Waste"

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/coal-ash-is-more-...

Which is a garbled retelling of this 1978 report:

"Radiological Impact of Airborne Effluents of Coal and Nuclear Plants"

https://science.sciencemag.org/content/202/4372/1045.abstrac...

The point of the 1978 report was that radioactive elements from coal are more likely to be concentrated in the food supply and retained in the body than radioactive elements released from power reactors. That leads to an effective higher radiation dose to people under their modeling assumptions. But nuclear reactors release more becquerels (or curies, to use the older unit) of radioactive material to the environment.

You can see this difference if you look at the original publication via sci-hub.

https://sci-hub.se/10.1126/science.202.4372.1045

Table 2 shows an estimated airborne release of about 1.2 curies per year of radionuclides from a 1000 MWe coal plant.

Table 3 shows shows an estimated airborne release in excess of 5000 curies per year of radionuclides from a 1000 MWe nuclear reactor.

But since the reactor radionuclides do not biologically concentrate in food or bones, they are dispersed throughout the environment and human exposure is small.

In table 5 you can see that the whole body population dose commitments for the different sources, in man-rem/year, are 18-23 for coal (depending on stack height) and 13 for a nuclear reactor. So coal is worse but far from 50x worse. Looking exclusively at bone exposure, coal can be an order of magnitude worse since radium released from coal behaves chemically like calcium and concentrates in bones.

That's not a hard problem, that's an easy problem for leadership to solve (you explained the solution in half a sentence), or an impossible problem for a line manager to solve.
There were other people equally prophetic without the appalling character defects that demanded murder and mayhem be used to argue their case rather than ideas.

It's unfortunate that the glamour of violence adds nostalgic credibility that isn't particularly deserved.
I think the (implicit) charge that the editors of top journals are keeping good papers out for snobbish reasons is mostly unfounded. I don't deny that their tastes shape what gets published, of course. But in most circumstances, they are not subject matter experts, and the first step of evaluating any paper is that is not an obvious desk-reject (for poor writing, crankery, etc.) is to send it to a group of relevant experts for "quick opinions." Only if these opinions are sufficiently positive is the paper sent for a full referee report (again by an expert), and in most (but not all) cases the referee's suggestion is followed. So the picture of editors just arbitrarily killing papers they don't like is not accurate.

Further, it's not like no finite combinatorics/graph theory gets published in these journals. Just not a lot, because it's not sufficiently interesting/valuable to the broader community. (Annals of Math almost published Hales's proof of the Kepler conjecture, after all; eventually a proof appeared in another top journal.)

Also, re: connections, you can easily check the author affiliations for papers in these journals. There are plenty of people from universities that are not so well known. It's hardly an "old boys club."

True. But from a policy perspective this punts the problem. Ex ante, identifying the president from the deluded is difficult.

The "note to self" has been there since I started using signal I think three years ago. Stickers are available since one and a half years, even though discovery could be better. Things have improved a lot in the last 2 years and I haven't encountered any breaking bugs.

You still need to construct the algorithm in the first place, which is what a constructive proof does.
I prefer to evaluate comments on inherent merit. If I get a "I'm concerned bought _" I'll follow up with why/where? If it's a feeling they can't detail in any way I might do the x weight or if I agree and investigate a bit to see if it warrants anything more.
That's not exactly the point TFA is making but I want to point out that I vastly prefer when people tell me "X is broken/bad/doesn't work/weird/..." rather than "maybe you should change it to do Y instead". Mainly because the vast majority of the time "Y" is worthless garbage, and then I have to spend time explaining why I'm not going to do "Y" because I don't want you to think I'm just not valuing your output.

For a simple but very common example, take videogames. Players will readily tell you when some aspect of your game is broken, when it's too easy or too grindy or too random or too unfair etc... That's valuable feedback. On the other hand when you read gaming forums and see the "fixes" the player propose, a vast majority of the time it's completely missing the mark. Either because they're not developers so they don't realize the complexity of what they're proposing, or they're simply not game designers and they don't realize all the new problems their solution would create, or they're hardcore players and their tweaks would make the game unplayable for the 99% of casual base etc...

In my experience this is almost always true. I always listen to the feedback I get for my software, but I tend to immediately dismiss the "maybe you could do Y instead" part. I know the entirety of the problem space, the user doesn't. The user has a specific use case in mind but I know that there are hundreds of other clients who don't use the program exactly the way this one person does.

So unless you're actually going to write some code for me I'd much rather you'd give me precise criticisms and feedback on your experiences than trying to explain how you think it should be done.

You have to take look at an empathetic view - it's very easy for someone like me (and assume you), to tell everyone else to comply with the lockdowns while you continue to take a salary from $tech. If you are business owner watching your savings whittle away while the state forces you to stay closed and congress continues to do nothing, what can you do? What do you say to those people who look at Florida who have stayed opened to only have have similar per-capita numbers than that of California?

I don't put the blame entirely on Newsom, but America's COVID response has been a failure. We failed to enforce lockdowns, failed to do any sort of contact tracing and failed to give people confidence that there is any light at the end of tunnel.

> if you work in media, or you’re a coach or teacher or similar, you’re making something by pontificating, so I still respect you :)

The commentariat writing opinion articles and drive-by tweets is a major contributor to the misapprehension that pointing out problems is as useful as doing something. So, this footnote that excuses those working in the media doesn't make sense to me.

> Cost is the impediment to nuclear, not any sort of safety concerns

That's not entirely true, and safety features and regulations are a major part of nuclear's cost.

> That molten salt reactor will need to have a negative cost in order to compete with the cost of stored renewable energy

Does stored renewable energy come for free? From what i recall, there's still no actual solution to that problem on a big scale.
One of the most chilling effects of Tech x Group Thinking is mob justice and unguarded, unchecked, supression and oppression of those who present contrary views. Twitter is a cesspool of this since it provides a warm incubation chamber with ability to block those who challenge. It resonates uncontrollably as the ripples spread within hours. Not enough time for the press or institutional assessment.

Take an example of Timrit Gibru[1]. Whether you agree or not, she seems to be completely and utterly glued to Twitter. She posts so frequent, at the time of writing this post, her last tweet was 5 minutes old. She tweets every few minutes in her waking hours. Vile, contemptful tweets of her agenda and rallying up support for her unchallenged arguments. Over 100k followers. These people are out there to aggressively spread their influence bypassing press, bypassing their counter parts and ramming through without challenge.

I am afraid, this is going to get worse unless we institutionalize professional journalism again, with deep analysis of the issues and present both sides of the view, and allow public comments. The society is like putty, it can be shaped and formed by those in power, we've just provided them with a massive Tech steamroller that flattens any bumps.

I understand Parler and other fringe social media platforms and how they can be damaging to the society. I am equally concerned of this slow motion political-correctness-mob-justice culture that will be impossible to evade. I want to go back to old days to be honest. Handing over press amplification to individuals is a shit idea. I want proper institutions and journals to present content in long form with citations of their sources. Imagine if we get rid of Science journals and just let researchers tweet their experimental results. No one challenging their claims, no peer review, nothing. That's what press has become now-a-days.

To prevent non-determined ones.
It's interesting you say that, I last decided to skip US citizenship due to the fact that the IRS will haunt you for taxes (Double tax treaties, foreign tax credits yeah yeah but it's a hassle) and as mentioned in other replies, being a "US Person" is such a hassle for opening foreign bank or brokerage accounts.

I value the point of citizenship and passports but getting the US one seems to be shooting yourself in the foot if you don't ever see yourself moving back to the US. I know for sure if I leave, I'm not planning to retire anywhere in the US so it would be a tough sell to go for citizenship.

Sure, but you would not need to prove it in a constructive way.

See, that is one of the problems with constructive mathematics. It not only requires you to write down the algorithm, but also to prove it constructively, although a non-constructive proof would be perfectly fine. In other words: constructivism is often overkill.
Go has both memory management and a quite performant garbage collector, as you probably know.

Your article is from 2005, so I take it to mean that Java 6 was doing the interesting things you talk about - from my recollection, the go-to at that time was java.util.concurrent. (I haven't kept up with Java, so it could still be state-of-the-art.)

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016764230... - this paper describes the implementation as "The heart of the framework is maintenance of queues of blocked threads, which are restricted here to FIFO queues." If you're not familiar, this is exactly what go channels are, just baked into the language rather than in the standard library.
We should use the term "censorship", not "moderation", where one party prevents another from saying something. Calling it "moderation" is an attempt to sugar-coat censorship.

Arguably, if a private company is pressured to censor by a government, their censorship actions becomes state action. First Amendment protections may apply in the US. This is an unresolved area in US law. It's come up where cities have outsourced management of some public spaces such as parks and plazas, and the outsourcing company prohibited protests.[1]

Worth seeing: "Censored", an official U.S. Government training cartoon from WWII. Written by "Dr. Seuss", by the way.[2] In that era, censorship was made very explicit. Letters didn't just disappear. They had sections cut out and were stamped "Opened by Censor".

Maybe if you put your name on it, you should be able to say it without prior restraint. Most of the serious problems come from anonymous speech.

These numbers can be looked at two ways. Germany actually failed in its efforts to get off the coal so far, I think. Just from these numbers you could as easily be making his point as yours.
> The problem with metamath is that you basically have to be a fully signed-up masochist in order to do anything nontrivial with it. People have certainly done nontrivial things with it e.g Carneiro and the prime number theorem -- but it takes all sorts. If I want to prove (a+b)(a+2b)(a+3b)= a^3 + 6ba^2 + 11b^2a + 6b^3 in Lean I just type `ring`. Good luck proving that from the axioms of a ring directly in metamath, I challenge you to do it in fewer than 30 moves.

While it's allowed, generally Metamath users do not prove constructs directly from axioms, for exactly the same reason as you don't do it in Lean or traditional informal mathematics. You're right that most Metamath tools have fewer automated tactics, but there are tools with some automation, and people are working to improve that.
I don't think that's a particularly good example. People were rightly highlighting how terrible the code quality was, and therefore that there was a pretty large chance that there was a fatal mistake in it (and it's really difficult to verify predictive models).

Looking at both, it looks like the gradual decline in the savings rate since the early 1980s correlates with a gradual decline in inflation from that time: https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/USA/united-states/infl...
Great article. I wish BradfieldCS would offer some kind of discount for people from countries who don't have a USD salary. I make $600 a month before taxes and expenses. I can put aside $100-150 a month if I live slightly frugally and be strict with my savings. I don't see myself saving $1800 (12-18 months) to take up one course. Same goes for their new program - https://bradfieldcs.com/csi/ - $19500.

Does the author or anyone have any other free/affordable alternatives for BradfieldCS? teachyourselfcs is the only one I can think of which I'm following currently.
I mean sure, but this is sort of a straw man - of course bubbles can exist even if the underlying asset has fundamental value. The Internet, housing, and tulips are all great things with value. But it’s not entirely clear to me that Bitcoin provides more value than the energy cost it requires to sustain it.

Computer programming is a lot like many other technical professions, many people can do it. It’s unfortunate that a profession which was seen as essential to the technological revolution, now is a race to the bottom to find the cheapest programmers who will work the longest hours. I’m in sales, and it is painful to see so many good programmers get pushed out as soon as they hit 45 years of age.

> I feel like it is only the worst 5% of kids who ruin public school for everyone else

Can confirm, as a former teacher. There were days when that 1 kid was sick, and the entire class worked completely differently. Suddenly it was possible to teach, the other kids learned, and some of them even said they preferred it that way. Then that 1 kid returned.

In teachers' room, 95% of time spent talking about students, is usually about the same 5 kids.
We got a game of this going in work once. Once.

We played in teams of two, so that at least one partner would have time to meet with the other players for negotiations. The moves took place last thing on a Friday, so you had all week to do your scheming. Then we'd all grab a beer and gather round the board to watch the skulduggery.

About two thirds of the way through it came out that one team had bribed another with actual cash money before the first turn had even been played. This news didn't go down at all well (although I was quite relieved as we were taking a pounding and had resorted to employing Nixon's "madman theory" in an attempt to buy ourselves some breathing space).

We decided we'd best abandon the game before we came to blows.

10/10 can't recommend enough.

Tiny ads is my attempt to create a cross site ad network for hackers and side projects.

The idea is simple. We place a little ad on each others page with a link back to ones side project.

I hope to create a positive sum game and give cool projects a new platform.

Markets are great when the rules they are bound to are well defined and protect consumers. None of this would have been a problem if they required producers to winterize their equipment.

The markets in Texas generally work pretty well except for where they don’t. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that basic regulations that power generation needs be winterized (among others thing) may cost slightly more on a day to day basis but costs consumers far less in the long run.

Everything in life is a trade off and unfortunately the voters of Texas have prioritized centralizing regulatory authority (a little counterintuitive but ERCOT runs basically everything and local municipalities are not allowed to much wiggle room), blind faith private entities that are accountable to no one and loose very little when something like this happens (the generation companies aren’t paying for everyone’s burst pipes, the property owners who’s insurance premiums are going through the rough do and the American people in general through Federal aid).
In grad school we did something fairly similar when a new faculty member suggested it as a team building exercise...I'm not sure how well it worked :)
