Besides the fact that people who argue against nuclear are not pro fossil energy, I'm always astonished to see nuclear fans argue with dead people only. As if having to evacuate cities and regions could be ignored and accepted as some kind of "safe".

-----

Since the fans of the atom downvote everything not in their frame of reality, I'm now unable to answer anymore so I'll just edit my answer to this comment:

@yongjik: I can't drink enough to follow this argument twisting. Nothing you said makes my argument go away. Those things ARE dangerous. Neither fossil fuel nor cars won't make the risk go away or be hidden in a cloud of mad word twisting.

Also: nobody who makes an argument against nuclear, makes one for fossil fuel. They usually are pro renewable energy. But you know that don't you? You just wanted to derail....

@cestith: acutally MOST of the nuclear reactors did not became a catastrophe. It doesn't change anything about the fact that when it becomes one, it is one.
> Why aren't browsers feature-complete?

Because other browsers keep adding features, and then web sites start using those features. Any browser that stops adding features eventually finds itself unable to display certain sites, and loses users to browsers that can display those sites.

Which is to say (channeling Zawinski's Law), any browser that fails to add features will eventually be replaced by a browser that does.
Great questions. Well off the top of my head, you could just post multiple solutions to the same problem specification. Just like you can have multiple (valid) answers to the same StackOverflow question.

That's why it would be awesome if you also added performance/memory characteristics to each solution you posted - then you could easily see which one is better for your situation.

Actually, even better - the memory/performance constraints could/should arguably be part of the problem formulation in the first place.
Nuclear, shovel ready? How many economically viable nuclear designs are shovel ready with a reasonable time to generation?
I don't know that I'm ready for these to be in triple digits.
That's not the only contradiction either, the bible contains plenty of rules on how to manage your slaves as well. And a plethora of other stuff in direct violation of the license rules. Like stoning women for example.
Robinhood is a particularly silly choice of name, because he was a figure of historical significance, continues to be a figure of cultural significance, and the name carries connotations about values, mission and impact with which practically every organisation using the name is jarringly at odds.
Seems reasonable to me that if a prospective dependency has a license that isn’t automatically tagged as a common license type that you be expected to actually read the license. This seems like basic standard of practice.
Detecting and escaping infinite loops with jolt [pdf]
So, someone (who?) comes out with a standard, and then everyone just freezes capabilities then? Nothing evolves? Or if it does, it does so very unequally? Already in this announcement is the non-transfer of Live Photos because presumably Google doesn't support it. Apparently they also have a 20k per album cap, which at that point you get different behavior than you're expecting. These are just a few examples of where things go wrong.

If we're going to legislate anything, I believe the right way is to force complete data export is made available via a reasonable API/process, which then allows people to independently evolve & progress, and competitors will then need to support (or not) what comes out on the other side. But customers then know they can always extract or simply backup their data themselves if needed.
> its not stealing if people are giving that information out for free

If I leave a pie to cool on my windowsill and you take it it's still stealing even if there was no formal agreement or security measures in place to protect the pie.

Adtech is kind of like that. If I give a calendar app access to my contacts I certainly don't expect it to take that information and use it for tracking, targeting, and marketing purposes as well. For me to "give" you that information for free, you'd have to ask for it honestly. And yet Facebook - an ad tech company - has been fighting this kind of consent in the next iOS patch tooth-and-nail.

Just because the release cycle is faster, doesn't mean that features spend less time in alpha/beta channels. Evergreen browsers release features behind flags, and those features can sit sometimes for years before they're turned on by default in the public release channel.

Directly elected local environmental assessors, which are required to attend annual meetings at the state and federal level?

The auditors which make up the regulatory panel would then be directly elected by residents throughout the country and would inspect the work of their colleagues.

Solve the waste storage and disposal problem first, then treat it as an emissions problem, and ensure the nuclear industry is investing in technologies which continually recycling or minimizing the total mass of high level waste it is producing in exchange for disposal and storage services.
Right.

So ignore mistakes in code reviews?

Unit tests are useful, invariant testing in code more useful, but code reviews and user testing are important too, for catching mistakes.
> However, Apple never called it Pro.

I think in the marketing material, Apple tends to call everything they do "for professionals", not just the line of hardware with "Pro" in its name.
> Manifestos do more harm then good because their vagueness enables reinterpretation.

That totally relates to my experience.

I've seen this scene repeated over and over:

- project begins

- something happens and delays the project (arrival of new team members who need some time to learn about the code base, for instance; it's not even an issue, it's just a natural consequence which makes the project go different than planned and put certain kinds of managers in distress)

- project start to get behind of the schedule or whatever tool in use to track progress

- "you are not a true Agilist"

I just can't understand why is it so easy to blame the old methods while it's so hard to identify weaknesses in the current ones.

Besides, the room they left for interpretation leads to a good amount of bike-shedding and witch hunting as soon as something goes wrong in the project -- if one assumes the method is perfect, the only possible explanation for a failure is that the method has been misfollowed.

JAXA is basically a Japanese ICBM program, so start there.

the problem with these programs in the US is that you gotta jump through hoops with beaurocracy and not every person has the mental stability to do that. same with healthcare. i need to register somewhere and meet some income quota to get free healthcare. to me that's ridiculous and not the case in many other countries. I personally experienced German healthcare without showing any paperwork when I had fallen on hard times in my life and it was very refreshing.

I personally know a poor guy in the States that was waiting to get to the psychiatrist for 4 months with his bipolar disorder episode because he simply wasn't able to get on the Medicare due to his anxiety. The task was too taxing for him at that time.

>In the United States, it's economically difficult

I doubt that until you pretend to have living conditions on par with these in Pakistan.

I bet people simply are ambitious, and have way higher expectations regarding living standards, hence this feeling of struggling in pursuing the expected standards.

> you need to fix things up from the material conditions

Birth rates:

Pakistan: 3.51

India: 2.22

US: 1.73

Denmark: 1.73

Seems like living conditions doesn't matter that much, or the correlation is negative.

> If you want a society where people are practically free to start a family

Do I? Why would I want a world where people are practically free to start a family? I think people who would like to start a family should prove that they a responsible and can manage at least their own life, not to mention the life of an infant.
That's because of the epic fail that are initializer lists that prevent aggregate initialization (which is otherwise awesome) to be used safely in generic contextes.
I think maybe a wider perspective is needed on this topic. Instead of the assumption that women should have more resources for fertility as a founder of a company or trying to run/work at a startup, let's examine why that assumption exists, which is men in a similar position.

Male founders also face hardships in rearing children when working demanding jobs, but less so than women, partly because of the luck of the genetic draw, and partly because as a culture we are more lenient and have less expectations of fathers. The good parent will have problems no matter their gender (but harder for women obviously, who carry the child to term), but men can get away with being more absent and less involved without as much judgement.

What if instead of taking at face value that people in these positions should have resources allocated to make it easier to raise children, we instead focus on their choices. They made a choice to go into a high risk venture for the possible payout of money and/or more control over their future. Worded in a more harsh way, what's being asked is "Why aren't more resources and attention focused on me while I attempt to play the lotto and become a millionaire, or work my high paying job?" Perhaps the answer to this should instead of providing additional support to women and men in child rearing in an industry that pays famously well and is getting less and less tethered to locale by the day, we instead decide to stigmatize fathers that focus more on their career than their children?

That's not to say I think we shouldn't as a society focus on making child rearing easier, especially for those without as many resources, but I'm not sure focusing on those that have chosen to make the trade-off already to pursue a demanding and risky career for the chance at a large payout is what we should be doing. If they benefit somewhat from societal changes, that's great, but I'm not really going to shed a tear over founders complaining how hard it is with a pregnancy or rearing a small child to raising funding for the next round, whether they be male or female. They've made very specific life choices to put themselves into that position, and I don't think it's out of bounds to say maybe taking the hard and risky path doesn't always pay off.

Note: This is probably way more harsh than I intend it to be, and it's not exactly a correct representation of my feelings on this, but I think it is a perspective worth considering. That is, to a small degree I'm playing devil's advocate here.
But you could always do this. Apple seems to go a step further and does this on your behalf. I think that’s newsworthy.
> Does anyone honestly think the United States has institutions sound enough to safely manage nuclear power over multiple decades? Or will they neglect basic maintenance and upgrades?

Objectively, yes. There hasn't been a major nuclear reactor leak in the ~75 years the nuclear industry has existed in the USA. Even Three Mile Island, the worst disaster the US ever saw, was fully contained due to regulator-forced safeguards.
I think there are two things going on here.

I personally suffer from C-PTSD (C=Complex) stemming from childhood trauma. C-PTSD (generalized as PTSD caused over months/years vs. a single or cluster of traumatic events, e.g. warfare) is still relatively new compared to the traditional understanding of PTSD.

So there is some legitimate expansion of the definition of PTSD.

But one thing I've noticed since I received the diagnosis is just how many people around me use the term "PTSD" casually.

- "That project gave me PTSD"

- "I have PTSD from my last boss"

- "I have PTSD from the last four years of political upheaval"

Now, I should be clear, I do think it's possible to be impacted by truly traumatic circumstances that don't rise to the level of what we traditionally think about when we hear the term.

But I also see the term used far too casually, far too often.

>Housing prices around me are directly correlated to school quality.

Because "school quality" is basically indistinguishable from "socio-economic status". It has little to do with the quality of buildings or teachers or other resources. It's mostly about the ability and willingness of parents to be involved in their kid's life and the standards they hold.

If the husband and wife agree that they want to use their combined paternity/maternity in a given way, who are you or I to tell them that they can't? The wife could just as well force the husband to take care of the child and work on her own next book. Or the pair could stagger their leaves so that they spend equal time taking care of the baby.
yeah, those techniques predate CORS, but even back then, you'd typically add your anti-csrf token to the payload rather than the header. CSRF is application level logic rather than protocol level.
Males can more easily wait till 40+ to have children.

Males don't have periods. If work hours are kept to a healthy level, both males and females can achieve those work hours averaged over a long time because there is sufficient time for rest. If sufficient rest isn't planned into the schedule, there isn't time for periods, and that culture unfairly favors males.

Males don't get pregnant, and are often looked down upon, or lose promotion and investment opportunities, for working less hours to help their pregnant or child-rearing partners. The males who set aside time for family are out-competed by males who either (a) don't value having a partner or children or (b) treat their family like crap by not being there for them. (I'm saying this from direct observations of acquaintances and friends.)

That's too risk myopic a position for my taste. I like to compare it against impacts in other sectors. For example oil has a massive problem with leaks. There's on average 2 events per year (not including COVID 2020) that spill more than 700 metric tons. Valdez was 34k metric tons. Deepwater Horizon was ~200k, Castillo de Bellver was also in that range.

Burning coal releases ash into the air that is 100x more radioactive than nuclear waste (the byproduct of fission)!

By comparison, nuclear energy has had 3 notable accidents in 42 years with only one actually ending up to have any serious consequences. Waste is pretty straightforward to clean up & the byproducts can be repurposed into more fuel once the technology starts to roll out.

While I agree it's a scary technology because of its history, it's comparative safety seems significantly higher. To the point where the question is "why are we building any fossil fuel plants" (i.e. new plants under construction) but for some reason that always to get hijacked to "we should wait for renewables". I'd much rather have a nuclear power plant today (with all its challenges) coming online rather than anything using a comparative amount of fossil fuels & hoping to replace it with renewables later. One in the hand is worth two in the bush.

If taking a break to focus on parenting was more acceptable, anyone (man/woman/nonbinary) who wanted to do this would benefit.

Many careers are built around this idea that you spend 5-10 years, with no breaks, in your late 20s and 30s working on something. What if taking a substantial chunk of time off was more common (for anyone)?

I've been searching for a while for a good way to know whether a client has disconnected in the middle of a long-running HTTP request. (We do heavyweight SQL queries of indeterminate length in response to those requests, and we'd like to be able to cancel them, rather than wasting DB-server CPU cycles calculating reports nobody's going to consume.)

You can't actually know whether the outgoing side of a TCP socket is closed, unless you write something to it. But it's hard to come up with something to write to an HTTP/1.1-over-TCP socket before you respond with anything, that would be a valid NOP according to all the protocol layers in play. (TCP keepalives would be perfect for this... if routers didn't silently drop them.)

But I guess sending an HTTP 102 every second or two could be used for exactly this: prodding the socket with something that middleboxes will be sure to pass back to the client.

If so, that's awesome! ...and also something I wish could be handled for me automatically by web frameworks, because getting that working sounds kind of ridiculous :)
Energy independence is a matter of Japanese government prestige. As Japan being a resource-poor nation pretty much led to WW2, becoming energy independent was a major post-war goal. Nuclear was a very essential part of that (not anymore).
> Their nuclear engineers are top-notch. It was the bureaucracy that failed, not the talent.

This.

All of the articles I've read about the disaster, all continually scapegoated the engineers as the reason for the failure, allowing the politicians and government to get a free pass. I'm not sure why this was the case considering Japanese engineers are some of the best, but the vilification of them never sat well with me because then it cast a negative cloud over every Japanese engineer unfairly.
I wasn't willing to go for an hour, but I planned an upload of one that would take about 15 minutes (to get well past any initial burst rate). The upload rate started at 1.3 MiB/s, quickly climbed to 1.4 MiB/s and stayed there the entire upload.

This is a shot on my personal iPhone family video, so there's zero chance that it is cached anywhere.

If you compute using a file byte as being 8 network bits (the reality is slightly higher, of course), you get:

jsokoloff@Jim-Macbook Downloads % time aws s3 cp iPhone_opening.MOV s3://XXX-XXX/photos/
upload: ./iPhone_opening.MOV to s3://XXX-XXX/photos/iPhone_opening.MOV
aws s3 cp iPhone_opening.MOV s3://XXX-XXX/photos/ 12.84s user 7.66s system 2% cpu 14:38.47 total
jsokoloff@Jim-Macbook Downloads % ls -la iPhone_opening.MOV
-rw-r--r--@ 1 jsokoloff access_bpf 1265329653 Aug 22 2020 iPhone_opening.MOV
jsokoloff@Jim-Macbook Downloads % echo -ne "bps: " && echo "1265329653 * 8 / (14 * 60 + 38.47)" | bc
bps: 11523031
jsokoloff@Jim-Macbook Downloads % echo -ne "Mibps/100: " && echo "1265329653 * 8 / (14 * 60 + 38.47) * 100 / 2 ^ 20" | bc
Mibps/100: 1098

So, 10.98 Mibps (11.52 Mbps) for an almost 15 minute period, which matches the above extremely closely.
No license is going to satisfy everyone in all contexts.

For example I cannot use GPL at work (based on my own rules as team lead) but am open to it in personal projects.

And other folks would consider having something NOT GPL licensed to be suspect.

>It was a HUGE stroke of luck that it didn't go much, much worse.

My understanding is that with Fukushima, with everything going wrong we had the potential for a "China syndrome" type situation ... and yet an old style reactor with fewer safeguards than modern reactors still managed to hold a melting down core.

Fukushima was a disaster, but the result might indicate some of the worst concerns (run away super hot melting core escaping containment) aren't very likely at all.
That's fine if the progress bar is only indicating the progress of the download. As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, if the download operation is only one part of the overall process, things get quite a bit trickier -- what percentage of the overall progress do you assign to the download operation when external factors like network speed and system load come into play?
