First the price customers see ignores subsides. That’s essentially what subsides do.

Also, Ontario’s production is weighted towards nuclear, but it’s second by second usage is significantly less so. They export a lot of nuclear power and import non nuclear power. That arrangement only works because nuclear is less common in other areas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_power_transmiss...

Also, hydro complements Nuclear extremely well as it can shift production across time, thus maximizing each nuclear power plant’s capacity factor. However, wind fills the same niche more cheaply even with significant excess capacity. This shows up as a grid where the wholesale price frequently sits around zero, which makes nuclear even less economically viable.

I personally expect nuclear to stick around for various reasons like bulk radioactive isotope production, but ramping up to become a significantly larger chunk of global electricity production would take dramatically lower unsubsidized prices.
> Your users to don’t care how your code gets onto your server.

I work in B2B and while sure, our users don't necessarily care but they also aren't the ones paying us money. The people paying us money have a huge set of questions about how code gets on our servers and Kubernetes is not everything but it helps a lot answering those questions. (Especially using GKE.)

I know what 'based' means. The term originated in hip-hop and now it's used by all sorts of people ranging from nationalists, through moderate conservatives and apolitical people, all the way to communists, in places like imageboards, twitter and social media in general. It's just like the term 'thot'. It's generally used by young people on the internet.

But it still does not answer my question.

This is lovely, big fan of night walking, but walking at night has some additional dangers depending on where you are - people, wildlife, terrain.

Funny story - I went for a night walk in the forest with a friend. Was lovely. When we got back to the isolated car park we walked into some kind of drug deal. They kindly let us get back into our cars at gun point, then sent an SUV chased us out of the national park. Was surreal.

I don't go to isolated places at night anymore.

andrepd is somewhat correct.

Luke is not the reincarnation of the unabomber, but he's heavily influenced by Ted's writing and tries to live a life devoid of leftists and rational thinking.

I've watched Luke for years -- his Linux and Unix tutorials are some of the best on YouTube -- but his non-tech videos and live streams are where he goes off the rails.

He's a racist. It's not obvious, but there are many times on his livestreams, in particular, where his language and beliefs hint to that. He often refers to Indian American as "pajeets," which is their equivalent of the n-word.

He's also delusional. He constantly eslewed thst the coronavirus was a hoax and once described the guy who killed the woman in Charlottesville after crashing his car into a group of protestors

Worse actually than domain names are social media handles.

Type in any random concatenation of two words into namecheck.com and you are likely to find that the domain is available but all the social media handles are taken - and clearly parked.

This I don't really understand since you can't sell social media handles. What's the incentive to park thousands of them?

When you are in a position to pay someone full time to look after the web infrastructure of your project, that's when you should think this stuff through.

I can confirm this. I was offered surgery for my 2 year old for a problem that is not life threatening and could possibly (but rarely) cure itself. In the end it indeed cured itself.
> To be honest if you know C#, Java or ObjectiveC you already know the core 90% of C++.

If we change 90% to about 20% then this becomes a true statement. Yes, you can get toy code to compile and apparently work by pretending C++ is Java with some low level stuff that can be ignored, but that's nowhere near proficiency. The language is full of seemingly obvious concepts like static initializers that function unlike what you'd expect from working with C#, Java, or even C.

> IMO C++ got some very bad rep for no reason at all: it got mythologized into a "very difficult arcane language that people makes meme about".

It got that reputation on account of having an 1853 page standard that even members of the committee admit no one of them fully understands.

> C++ just makes this even more explicity(sic) since YOU can decide if a class is a copy-by-value or a reference on the fly

And this is why it's such a kitchen sink standard. The C++ community is so large and has so many stake-holders relying on diverse problem domains and programming paradigms that the standard has to permit the developer much greater control than higher level languages like Java.

In closing, to speak to the original poster's question, becoming proficient in C++ is in no way a career limiting move, and will definitely open up some opportunities. However, becoming an expert is a very deep rabbit hole to go down. Even a level of proficiency that will allow you to work on a large project will take some serious intellectual commitment. One way this is apparent is how the C++ community has its own large and distinct conceptual lexicon that for the most part has not worked its way into the general programming community. I personally found working on large C++ projects intellectually gratifying, so I would recommend helping out on the project for a year or so to start. That's enough time to get a very basic understanding of the language and see if it's something you really want to become an expert at. And even if you don't, you'll learn a lot.

It's unproductive to discuss such matters with a total layman who didn't bother to do even a basic research, but ok, I will play along.

Let's start from the simplest thing: a Chernobyl-like event is impossible on PWR because they do not use graphite moderators. Simple, right? I could've finished on this, but let me educated you a bit more. Modern reactors have the following safety systems in place (it's not a full list):

- Hydrogen burners (recombiners) mentioned in my previous comment, which significantly reduce amount of hydrogen inside containment.

- Systems for fast automatic Boron injection.

- Heat sink systems designed to work without electricity.

- Passive cooling systems, which are significantly more reliable than the isolation condenser used on Fukushima-1.

- A way of supplying additional coolant externally.

- Core catchers which lead corium from the containment building.

If you know Russian you can read for example this paper [0] from Gidropress (Rosatom subsidiary) to learn more about how modern nuclear reactors handle severe accidents associated with a total loss of electricity. It's about older VVER-1000 reactors, which are a bit less advanced than the newer VVER-1200 and TOI designs, but it should be a good starting point.

Whether the infra is complex or not isn't going to make a huge difference to whether your product makes money. Some of the highest-revenue-generating products I have seen were tire fires under the hood. One product had multiple people working 24 hours a day to constantly hose down the multiple levels of problems that the incredibly poor design and terrible infrastructure created. But through the toil of those people in the backend, the product made hundreds of millions a year.

Whether or not you use complex technology, it matters more whether it's well designed and well operated. If it's not, you will end up with a fire either way. It's just that "simple" fires are a lot easier to put out than "complex" ones. (this is literally true; a lot of fires should not be put out with water)
Baking != Cooking, IMO, and it's important to draw that distinction for beginners.

Cooking can be freewheeling, slapdash, and to taste.

Baking is a science of measurement and repeatability.
I think you've already stumbled on a little problem and that is one of using a FFI. Python's Numpy handles all of that for me, so I never have to leave the walked garden of Python. Many scientists/engineers have similar views and likewise have very little Fortran or C experience, so having the kitchen sink distribution with (import numpy) is preferable to FFI.

This is a deep well of theory of society, and reasonable people disagree based on how they answer that question.

Some do believe property rights exist independent of government (and existed before the concept of governments, as webs of individual agreements between people with no over-arching enforcement authority, i.e. "This belongs to me because if you try to take it from me I will kill you. That belongs to you because you would do the same to me. We have an understanding between us, but is an understanding between two people a 'government'?").
Yeah and 13 years ago there was a similar argument about git. I heard a lot of developers say well its a small project and its just me, no way i'm dealing with repos, making commits and learn git or mercurial. This completely died out.
This is cool, but how do individuals overcome the information asymmetry in hiring?

That is, even a medium sized company knows what tens or hundreds of other candidates are asking for in terms of salary or benefits. An individual does not know this. The company can offer a lowball, knowing that it's low, and then raise the offer should the candidate balk. An individual essentially always has zero information about their own value, and can't make an intelligent counteroffer.

I don't see how this problem in marketplaces can be overcome without mandatory pay transparency.

This is silly. God gave no right to domain names. If the internet was a libertarian utopia, I would just run my own DNS server and could "own" google.com, apple.com, etc. Except no one would use my DNS server.

Instead governments and NGOs manage limited "intellectual property" rights on DNS servers everyone agrees to connect to so the internet can actually be useful and not a free-for-all. The same applies to copyrights and patents. There is no natural right to exclusive ownership of an idea or written text. These things are "naturally" meant to be copied. Intellectual property "rights" are entirely constructed by government decree.

Compare how Chinese immigrants in the 19th century might get names like 王 Wong, 李 Lee, or 魯 Loo, whereas Chinese immigrants today have names like 王 Wang, 李 Li, or 鲁 Lu.

I am afraid, your observations and conclusions are incorrect.

Wong, Lee (pronounced as Lei), Loo (pronounced and spelled as Law nowadays) are the Cantonese readings of Chinese names; whereas Wang, Li and Lü are Mandarin pronounciations of 王, 李 and 魯, respectively.

Lee (as «e» in Padme from the Star Wars) and Loo («oo» as in «door») are an artefact of one of the first attempts by the British to come up with the standardised English spelling for Chinese names they had perceived through the lens of the Cantonese language and culture. One would have to look back into the history of Europeans coming into the first contact with the Chinese civilisation, of which the British had been one of the first frontiers (let's not digress into a discussion of the historical background nor merits of that having taken place, for that is not the point I am trying to bring across).

The British had come into their first contact with the Qing China through Canton in the late 18th century where Cantonese was the prevailing language, with Mandarin (官話) being relegated to the status of the language of mandarins, the Chinese imperial court and those willing to pass imperial exams. It took the British (and European missionaries) a few decades to realise that China had had a multitude of different – often mutually unintelligible – Chinese languages, in which the same character (漢字) had a distinct pronunciation. Speakers of their own mother tongue (be it a Yue, Wu, Gan etc language) would pronounce the same 漢字 according to phonetic rules of their own native tongue. For instance, 林 is pronounced as «Lam» in Cantonese but as «Lin» in Mandarin; 吳 is «Ng» in Cantonese, but it is pronounced as «Goh» in Teochew and as «Wu» in Mandarin; likewise, 金 is «Gan» (Cantonese) vs «Jian» (Mandarin), 等等...

The first migration wave out of China into the US mostly came from Lingnan (the area encompassing Gwong Sai, Gwong Dung, Hoi Naam and parts of the today's northern Vietnam). The majority of them, however, spoke Teochew – a Yue Chinese language, that is related but is not mutually intelligible with Cantonese. US Chinatown dwellers used to speak Teochew for over a century before Cantonese started to take hold in the second half of the 20th century.

Since the migration of Chinese nationals had been forbidden since the times of the Ming dynasty, and with the British controlling the Canton port in the late 19th century onwards, Canton (Gwong Jau nowadays) was pretty much the only viable exit point for migrants out of China seeking an escape from the Qing for their own reasons; hence they would have had to obtain the exit immigration documents at Canton with their Teochew names spelled out using the English spelling the British had adopted for spelling out the Cantonese names earlier on. Hence Wong, Lee and Loo and not Wang, Li or Lü (or actual Teochew spelling). The former ones are in active use in Hong Kong today, whereas the latter ones are encountered in the mainland Chinese names.

Ask HN: Why is iOS microphone notification not active while listening for Siri?
iPhones listen for Siri without displaying a microphone warning in the notification bar.

Only after Siri is activated does the notification appear. This must mean that the notification and the microphone are independently operated and not a true signal of whether the microphone is actually listening or not, no?

I learned some countries have things like this after an article last month where someone traced an IP range used by palor or another organization like that to a country with similar rules, and filed a complaint with the company that leased it, who revoked the range. (Going from memory here, sorry if I'm getting things wrong).

Especially given Ive heard some of these TLDs are cheaper to encourage their use, people who want to run services on these should be careful even if enforcement is often lax or nonexistent until a complaint is filed.
> There is obviously some point, somewhere between ‘just running a website out of my spare bedroom’ and ‘Facebook’, where some of this infrastructure does become necessary.

Frankly, that blog post reads terribly miopic. The author essentially looks at his personal experience setting up his single-dev personal project, complains that he spent some time jump-starting a basic CICD pipeline, and from there he proceeds to argue that no one needs any of that.

Well, how does he expect to check whether their changes break or not the deployment? How does he expect to deploy his stuff? How does he plan to get multiple commits to play nice prior to deployment? How does he expect to roll back changes? How does he plan to address request spikes, either from normal traffic or attacks? Does he plan to get up at 3AM on a Tuesday to scale up deployments or does he plan to let his site crap out during the night and just get back to it in the morning?

And somehow we are supposed to believe that this naive belief that getting features out of the door is all that matters, and basic ops is not needed by anyone?
