> ...encountered women who stigmatize female homemakers...

I've read plenty of rants from both genders of stay-at-home dads getting snubbed by stay-at-home moms from their play groups, brunches, and other social activities. I think the stigma against stay-at-home dads hasn't gone away, just shifted to different venues.
Bruce Dawson recently put a bit of a different spin on things with his explanation: https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2020/11/29/arm-and-lock-fr...

> If you have circa-2005 code without these memory barriers then your code is broken, and has always been broken, on all CPUs, because compilers have always been allowed to rearrange writes. With these memory barriers (implemented as needed for different compilers and platforms) your code is beautiful and portable.

> It turns out that ARM’s weak memory model really doesn’t make things any more complicated. If you are writing lock-free code and not using any sort of memory barriers then your code is potentially broken everywhere due to compiler reordering. If you are using memory barriers then it should be easy to extend them to include hardware memory barriers.
> My funding goal is approximately 160'000Euro and I could break-even and return investment in approximately 2 to 6 months.

The way you have put it, it looks like you don't require angel investors. They do not work this way. What you need is a bank loan, which will not cut into your business ownership and at the same time you will get the required funds(with your claim of returning the money back in 2-6 months!)

Have you tried business loan with your local banks?

> Did you see the recent post about the slow loading times in GTA 5?

Did you? It seems pretty obvious to me that Rockstar knew that this was slow as hell, and they were showing ads during that time window. Business interests are not software engineering interests, so I don't think problems like that would go away with something like this, no.
Yeah, it is always some human who fails but in the case of this tech, the failure becomes a catastrophe.

So we either take out the human factor or the technology out of the equation. Right now we can only do that with the tech.

The real trouble with the light water reactor is not the nuclear part but the steam turbine it is attached to.

Unfortunately people have a way of driving while looking in the rear view mirror and much of the discussion around nuclear energy revolves around issues of the 1970s.

In the 1970s coal burning power plants were the cost king of power plants. There was some concern about making them cleaner, but by the 1980s gas turbine power plants with 10 times the power density (e.g. 1/10 the capital cost) were becoming widespread and people quit building coal plants.

(A big literature got left behind about how to drive a gas turbine from coal, on paper it would be lower capital cost than a conventional coal plant, but the technology never got developed at full scale.)

Even if the heat was free it would be hard for a steam turbine based power plant to compete with gas turbines.

Now it should be possible to build a nuclear power plant based on the brayton cycle using helium or carbon dioxide or some similar gas as a working fluid. You then need to use helium or sodium or lead as a coolant because the pressure would be too high with water.

Fast reactors are the best developed option, followed by the prismatic HTGR, then the thorium reactors. Pebble-bed HTGR looked pretty good until an expose came out that a German pebble bed reactor had a difficult time... Turns out pebbles that slide past each other just fine in air will get stuck on each other and crack in helium.

When Bill Gates and others go around saying we have to get over the safety issue they are continuing the stigma. Nuclear power is not going to get out of it's funk unless it has a cost story that looks good when everything goes right -- which is not the case with the LWR.

I don't have an exact answer to your question, but I'd suggest you try Gitlab's advanced search, instead of Google.

And GitHub too for that matter - e.g. "stars:>100 forks:>20 path:/adr license:apache-2.0" this will search for GitHub repos which have over 100 stars, over 20 forks, Apache 2.0 OSS licence, and a directory named "adr"
This looks DOPE. I was just missing bookmark saving services - what was that one from over a decade ago... and it was great but got bought out and died?

I was just recently trying to come up with a project to try to build and it was in this vein... I have found what I want my project to be - but will see if yours solves my problem.

WRT to wine; please try out the app Vivino if you haven't.. That is a great wine tracking app.

Now imagine the same thing, but for another product, like records, or other things that are collectables. To build out a library of that either which you have or that which you are interested in...

etc..
Search is a mixed bag: Google configured it with low thresholds and was resistant to adding an error correction mechanism, so e.g. “cat” would match my dog and there was nothing I could do about it.

The main thing, however, is the social features. iCloud just works and works well. Google Photos UI was really clunky and notifications weren't reliable so I'd miss comments from relatives.
> Does anyone honestly think the United States has institutions sound enough to safely manage nuclear power over multiple decades?

I recommend you contact Ducas to tell him about your concerns directly. I do not know him personally as I first heard about this from his public Twitter account: https://twitter.com/DucasLeo

Just to make sure you get Ducas's main argument, I quote him here again: "Personal study (unfortunately, never written down cleanly) of this approach suggested me that this approach requires solving SVP in dimensions beyond reasonable, leading to a factorization algorithm much slower than the state of the art. My impression is that this is the consensus among experts having spent some time on it as well."

So it seems like the conclusion is clear-cut contrary to what you were suggesting.

Also wouldn't the name "Schnorr attack" lead to people thinking of attacks on Schnorr signatures instead?
"excessively gory" is open to interpretation but it's a strange concept to allow gory but not excessively gory...

On the other hand, the other point of my previous comment is not open to interpretation: Not the majority of income is fine and because they use 'or' the fact that I lobby, promote, or support is irrelevant and all that matters is the majority of income. So I can use the Work for a free app that promotes abortion, for example. This is permitted although this is contradicting what they seem to want to achieve.
Having kids between 18-25 is very, very difficult, if you want to raise them in a financially stable 2-parent home.

I worked very, very hard to build both a financially stable life and have a family "young." I had my first kid at 28, was married at 24, and am the youngest mother I know in my professional social circle.

The only women I know who had kids 18-25 had accidental pregnancies with flings or short-term nonviable relationships, the fathers bailed, and the mother spent many years living with her parents while struggling to have a much more basic career than those discussed on this board. None of them had time, money, social support, or educational resources as single mothers to "start a self funded company while working at home."

Ideally if a woman wants to have kids, she can make a plan to have them with a committed partner at sometime around or just before 30. If she also wants to be a start-up founder, frankly she should look for a non-traditional relationship where her husband takes on most of the childcare after those early baby months, and hopefully he also has a stable but flexible corporate or blue-collar job to give them a bit of financial buffer.
Apply Occam's Razor. You're not concerned with it because it doesn't concern you. You're offering a tautology.
OK, now show me the average percent of a person's income required to secure a roof over your head in Pakistan. We could also talk about the difference in availability of childcare in Pakistan, or any country where strong family ties and multi-generational households are common, vs higher-income countries without these features. We would also have to consider that in many high-income countries it is literally illegal to live below a certain standard of living without running the risk of having your children taken from you by the state.
Yeah, the writer of the article first states "The focus that’s required at first will probably force you to cut back on almost everything in your life". Then it's almost like she describes how you can also cut back on fertility. Loving my kid so much, I didn't feel great after reading the article.
God that is an annoying website. I understand that your personal site should be a showcase for your Javascript skills, but I think adding audio cues to a blog is a step too far. The first time I visited this site, the sounds hadn't loaded in properly, and then it unleashed a buffer of ~20 bubble popping sound effects on my poor ears. Plus, the superfluous animation is tacky, and the centered text strikes me as an unbelievable waste of space.

Sorry if that comes off as a bit rude (if it's any consolation, I liked your clay figure!), but I honestly prefer reading plain markdown on a white background.
Show me a city evacuated because it was near a CANDU reactor. Light water plants are not the beginning and end of nuclear power.

This is quite elaborately dishonest as data portability is one of the requirements of GDPR that came to life in 2018. It's not like suddenly those giants decided to be good companies and allowed data transfer between services. It looks like they use it as a PR piece and at the same time trying to ensure that users won't flock to competition that has not signed to their thing.
http was open once and technically it is open now. Soon the complexity of the protocol will allow only the major corporations to implement it (and it is unclear whether that complexity helps most people).
Different metrics. Providing value could be measured in different ways concentrating on that. Engagement doesn't even have to provide value. User going through more pages to get to the thing they need and spending more time in the app is engagement.
> I think subjectivity is an illusion.

If subjectivity is an illusion, then who or what is being deceived? It seems like even a false subjective experience would have to be experienced by someone or something, subjectively.
I agree that "addiction" can be overused (irony unintentional), but I think it can be objectively defined by whether or not it causes a lasting biochemical change in the user (eventually), which causes discomfort or pain upon withdrawal. Food, for example, does not; we enjoy it (sometimes), but having more does not make us eat ever-larger amounts (if it's, say, a green salad; high-fructose corn syrup I admit the jury is still out).

So, the assertion that social media is "addictive" would translate to, "it conditions the user to require a dopamine (or whatever) hit that they will return to the social media to acquire, and will feel bad (worse than before they used it) if they stop using." Whether or not that's true of social media is debatable, but I think it is raising at least a valid question.

On the other hand, even though Stack Overflow has a lot of the same software features, it has no such problem, so I think the important question is what does Facebook do differently than Stack Overflow to cause people to spend ever-larger amounts of time on it, to no real purpose?

every client provider can do whatever they want, that'd be the beauty of it. Someone could write a stripped down, privacy respecting Facebook client and charge users five bucks instead of running ads, if that's what users want. Someone could offer a chronological news-feed free of algorithmic meddling, or one that you can fine-tune however you like. That'd would simply be developer and user choice. Just think of RSS-readers or podcast apps or email clients. They're not all equal, but that's a feature, not something gone wrong.
<sarcasm>But what about a "free and open web".</sarcasm>

These constant references to "the web" when discussing certain companies is annoying. The www does not belong to any incorporated middleman. I do not care how much traffic they are curently in control of. The www is a medium not a small, privileged group of messengers. How is this company even contemplating something like this. Answer: Because a majority of users choose a browser controlled by an advertising company. WTF.

This company will no doubt exert influence/control over the "standards" process and next thing we know, every developer working on a browser will feel obligated to "implement FLoC".
Maybe this is an either-or question. Who is the www for: users or advertisers. The middleman needs both. Advertisers need the middleman and users. But users do not need advertisers. And, truly, they do not need the middleman. Users are creating the content. The middleman just sits in between, spying on everything.

Maybe there needs to be more than one www. Maybe there needs to be a non-commercial www for smart people.
Yes, I agree. But I'm not sure what you do about that though. Stronger "dictacts" from an international "scrum committee" putting out material telling you what is "correct" scrum and what is not?

Nuclear power, when done right, is good and safe. But right now it's much too financially and politically risky when compared to the alternatives.

Look at Finland for example. They're building two new power plants:

Olkiluoto Unit 3: Under construction since 2005, commercial operation delayed by at least 13 years now and the initial delivery price of €3 billion is estimated to end up at €8.5 billion.

Hanhikivi: Won't be operational until at earliest 2028 and is expected to cost €6.7 billion. 34% of the plant is/will be owned by the Russian state coorporation Rosatom, because all the alternative suppliers were too expensive. If the plant eventually becomes operational then Rosatom will supply 3% of Finland's total electricity production.

Would it not have been much more reasonable to spend this money on developing and investing in renewable energy sources?
I generally agree with your sentiment. However, I would say that this type of consideration is only useful when deciding to birth a child, not if you are considering adoption. In the latter case, the child is assumed to already exist in below-average circumstances.

While C macros are limited, you underestimate their range. You can absolutely create specialized swaps without typeof (not part of the C preprocessor, incidentally), and the CTL which I linked to even has one. You just tell the macro the name of the type. And you can just invoke swap_ref or something if you want a more indirect one. There's no overloading. So, yeah, you need to know what you are operating upon, or abstract qualities thereof.

Sure, the use of these things in C is (usually) a bit more verbose/burdensome than C++. The misleading statements were performance-oriented, not syntactic sugar-oriented, and I already granted exception optimization. (Some folks, like Go/Rust authors, would tell you exceptions are bad anyway.)

The quality of the channel often does not permit the use of OFDM until distribution amplifiers are replaced. Unfortunately this is a totally different issue for the upstream and downstream directions as well, which is why several carriers, including Comcast in many markets, currently do OFDM downstream and only QAM upstream. The downstream issue has, on the whole, always been easier to fix due to the design of the outside plant, which is why 1gbps down has become a standard cable offering in DOCSIS 3.1 markets. In the case of upstream channels they are constrained by a variety of different equipment, some of which predates the use of QAM for all metadata.

Comcast is beginning a (presumably long) process of transitioning away from conventional cable television and to completely OTTd television service, which is essentially IPTV over DOCSIS, branded as Flex. This seems to be their long-term strategy and will allow a radically higher degree of flexibility in how they run their infrastructure. I would expect this to become the norm over the next ten years or so as DOCSIS is increasingly viewed as the primary purpose of the cable infrastructure.

That's an obvious false equivalence. While technically 'unnatural' refrigeration is not 'invasive and risky.'

The vast majority of pre-modern humans were likely starving or malnourished, and those problems are mostly solved in the modern era, thanks in part to refrigeration.

Everything you are saying is true, but chip fab independence is a national-security priority for China, and national-security priorities aren't constrained by next-quarter-earnings market pressures. The strategy also does not just consist of buying off-the-shelf equipment, but also recruiting experts and specialists and designers.

It may not overtake TSMC next year, or in five years, but I'd be surprised if a Chinese firm does not reach parity in ten years.
Why not just ask every now and then "did you enjoy interacting with our service?" Or "are you finding value here?" and have people rate it.

COVID has been more harmful than a deadlier disease would be because it spreads more effectively.

If social media caused people to lose their jobs or spend all their money, far fewer people would use it, and public engagement with the problem would be greater.

I suggest that social media's harm to society is greater because it's less harmful to the individual than gambling, etc.

Absolutely. King of doorbusters, worst at everything else. I never bothered with the Cafe but I've heard good things.

I'm a bit sad to see them go since I recently moved close to one but I don't think I'll miss them. I can thank Microcenter for that.
In France we have an "Autorité de sûreté nucléaire"[1] which is an independent administration (having its own budget, own lawyers, not connected to governments, etc). France have 25 of such administrations[2].

I can't say it's perfect, but anyone (individuals, parliamentarians, justice) can seize one of them to require its action or explain why it does not act. It's defenitly a "contre-pouvoir".

As long as it remains massively profitable to collect every ounce of data from us, tech corporations are going to keep doing this.

Even with some existing laws, the profits are enough that they are willing to flagrantly violate these laws and simply pay meager fines.

It's also unlikely that we will ever get significant legislation to protect us from this either, because all these tech profits allow big tech to buy our government, because policy is heavily swayed by corporations.

That's what I mean by "alternative toolchain," though; some of the code that you are executing at runtime isn't being generated by the normal GCC/Clang toolchain. It's being generated by your custom setup which links in LLVM.

You'd still need to compile your code with a regular toolchain, but you also need additional tools to compile, optimize, and debug code at runtime. That's what I meant by toolchain, even if it is not the conventional (static) definition.
