> Most of the material coming out at the time was telling the industry to break the silo between dev and ops.

Exactly. Break the silo. Make the devs do their own ops. Have ops specialists write tools to make it easer for devs to do their own ops.

The fundamental point is that devs don't just "throw their code over the wall".
Yes, the size and density of the population and the efforts to contain it are.
I hope you have the presence of mind to realize the amazing benefit this has for the entire Go codebase in existence.
>Dispatchable generation refers to sources of electricity that can be dispatched on demand at the request of power grid operators

Precisely. It's not "on demand" if it takes a day to ramp up production and another day to ramp it down. It's on yesterday's demand, which is f***ing useless.

This contrasts with gas peaker plants which can scale up in seconds. These are known as "dispatchable".

>Nuclear stands out as clean, dispatchable firm power, says Kwarteng

Quoting an offhand comment from an idiotic energy minister trying to justify a boondoggle plant on a nuclear propaganda website isn't as convincing as you seem to think it is.

>You are confusing dispatchable with flexible.

You are confusing baseload with dispatchable.
Elements with very long half-lives aren't very radioactive. Something with a half life of millions of years is essentially not radioactive at all.

Nuclear fuel itself isn't radioactively dangerous, it's dangerous because it's a heavy metal (like lead).

After nuclear fuel is reacted, it produces a bunch of nuclear decay products. Some of these decay products have a half-life of 10s of years, which are the problems: they're short enough to be dangerously radioactive, but long enough that they need to be handled carefully for a long time. But not for 10s of thousands of years.

China did everything to stop the virus. When the virus arrived in Italy or U.S soil they were already on lockdown. They have controled the virus and offered help to multiple countries. It seems to me that it's easy to blame "the evil communists" than to realize we've fucked up and our government/social economic system have failed us.
PTX is a virtual ISA and the reason why ROCm is doomed to fail well beyond its horrendous bugs.
ROCm produces hardware specific binaries which not only means you need to produce binaries for multiple GPUs but you also don’t have any guarantee for forward compatibility.

A CUDA binary from 10 years ago will still run today on modern hardware, ROCm breaks compatibility between minor releases sometimes and it’s often not documented.

Kudos to the author for making this, these are not easy to build!

I noticed this doesn't yet support a number of things in Figma: autolayout, SVG shapes, masking, blend modes, transforms, filter effects, etc.

There are also numerous other Figma-to-React tools out there, but of varying quality. You need heuristics to address the impedance mismatch between the different representations and to yield something usable.

I work on https://www.plasmic.app, a design tool for building production (React) frontends and not just drawings or prototypes. We built our own Figma-to-React converter [1] - I haven't yet found another tool that yields higher-fidelity translations. I'm hoping to put together a comparison of the tools one day, if this is of interest.

Good to know. I wasn't aware of that. What does that mean for our supply of blood diamonds, copper and similar? Maybe they are more needed in China, now that manufacturing has and is still being outsourced to that piece of two countries?

India is indeed struggling. They had the good fortune of being hit later than other countries,but they will likely be hit worse.

Of course, when articles critical of India will appear, you'll probably again complain that they are left-wing propaganda against Modi.
Storing energy is a straw man as well. The most realistic scenarios of renewable grids rely on overgeneration and opportunistic consumption. This will continue to be the case as long as storage costs significantly continue to exceed extra generation capacity costs.

> Are there breeder designs that do not involve molten, highly reactive metals?

There are vehicles that use highly reactive fluid called gasoline. Many people drive them safely because we are smart and designed them to be safe enough to be worth the benefit of travel. There are homes heated by explosive fuel (natural gas). People even cook with it. Sometimes people bring water to a hazardous boiling condition in order to cook or make tea.

The utilization of hazardous material in safe ways to benefit humanity is old hat, and wholly appropriate in many cases.
Yes there are, however even if there weren’t any and today the majority would likely support independence the reality is that the threat from China due to such a declaration is a far greater factor in why Taiwan still maintains the one China policy.
At my first full-time computer programming job in 1987, we had two NEC-APC computers[1], huge all-in-one units that housed a 10 or so inch screen and 2 8" floppy drives! One of them had a color screen and was connected to an equally enormous 10MB hard drive! My boss used that one. I got the monochrome green one. We had numerous plastic roll-top boxes of disks for various different programs, all written in dBase II: Clients, Employees, Billing and Payroll. As I was coming on they were just being upgraded to dBase III+.

After a couple years I talked them into getting PC clones, but the consultants overruled and convinced the agency to get us an IBM AT with a 60GB^H^HMB hard drive, 2 floppy-only XTs, and a Token Ring Network! The server software used so much space on the AT that you could barely run anything else on it.

Then we had the issue of transferring all of the data from 8" disks over to the IBMs. The consultants wanted thousands of dollars to put each disk into a "toaster" (they called it) that would transfer things to 5.25 disks. I knew it could be done much cheaper, so after a trip to the library to look up serial cable diagrams, a stop at Radio Shack to get some connectors, and a rummage in the office basement to find some old phone cord, I rigged up a transfer cable! The sending program on the NEC was written in their version of BASIC, and the receiving program was written in Turbo Pascal. After several hours at a low baud rate, all of the data was transferred. I got a decent $600 bonus out of it!

Yeah, that was not the case in any state in the US. States always had the control in Brazil
How do you define mismanagement when state and politicians can lie? I doubt COVID-19 stats are 100% reliable and true in any country in the world starting with China. 5 000 people died in China of COVID-19 I mean c'mon.
And yet there are nonzero number of countries that have had only the smallest number of deaths and controlled community spread almost entirely during this entire pandemic. It doesn't do any good to blame, but we should all be copying as closely as possible what has let some countries emerge unscathed.

They probably will have demographic problems, but a collapse this decade seems a bit of an aggressive schedule.

Pulling up some numbers here (don't know much about the subject):

"In 2050, the proportion of Chinese over retirement age will become 39 percent of the total population. At that time, its dependency ratio will rise to 69.7%"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aging_of_China

Assuming this is referring to the total dependency ratio, China in 2050 is expected to be exactly where Japan is today (69%), and Japan hasn't collapsed yet.

> Ask any low-middle class brazilian -- me -- what he thinks about public ICUs and the answer will be: "There is no such thing".

This is simply not true. I spent 2019's vacation in Florianopolis where it is very common for people to have relatives in the US. I asked some of them "What do you do when you get sick?" and unanimous answer was: "We come back to brazil". Brazil's public health has been continually improving since early 2000's and had a world-class respected vaccination program, generic medicines and free treatment for HIV/AIDS and other diseases.

Bolsonaro's encouraging crowding, ineffective medication, downplaying the disease, the pandemic and looking for vaccines too late (even discouraging it) combined with his supporters who argued that the pandemic was a fraud, are surely to blame for a part of such a high number of deaths.

I don’t consider that a reasonable stance. New things happen all of the time, all people need to learn on the job. Scientific consensus at the beginning of the COVID pandemic was limited, transmission vectors largely unknown. There must be room for unknowns even for top advisors.

This is not true, take your time and run in moderation and you'll have no increased risk of joint pain when you get older.
I wish them all the best in this but it seems like an uphill battle, and doesn't seem to have a clear use case to me. For lightweight to medium projects R and Python are so well supported it's hard to reject them as the null. If you're doing exploratory stuff and want visuals, it's the same story with Rmd and Jupyter. For more behind-the-scenes production pipeline stuff there is already Scala which has inroads with Spark. If you really want to use something new, Julia is starting to mature and has all sort of plotting and linear algebra support. To me it seems Go would aim more to compete with Scala I suppose? I suppose then it might come down to plotting.

In terms of being a general-purpose DS language, I can't imagine using anything that doesn't have a clear strategy to A) get a dataset into a DataFrame or similar, B) get my collaborators a plot in a way that is quick and easy, and C) a lesser extent, some kind of notebook/reporting tool.

They do say there is a lot of development going on but it seems like a space with a lot of great incumbents and a rapidly maturing up-and-comer in Julia.

> The Linux Device Driver book gave more than enough of an overview of PCI to understand what to do without reading the PCIe spec.

This book comes up a lot for the topic but is it still good? My understanding is that it’s for a rather old kernel version. And I’ve had drivers that couldn’t even compile between minor version differences in the target vs the kernel I was on.
We could build such libraries, and people have built some.

However the task at it's heart is a vast duplication of work, and while Go has a lot of things going for it, it doesn't seem enough to sway many data scientists into reinventing their wheels in Go.

I don't blame them. Rewrites being difficult to justify or motivate when you already have a compelling implementation is part of the reason why we have significant amounts of FORTRAN77 code still kicking around today. It is also why for many things we opt to just write wrappers around existing C libraries to call them from other languages.

It has many shortcomings, but overall I prefer the sharing of a library across languages, each with it's own bindings that can attempt to make it more idiomatic to that specific language. The Go culture/community doesn't favor this approach, the Python community embraces it.
You're not seeing the big picture. Our national healthcare system is completely ready to face a pandemic like that. Of course it is poorly funded nowadays, but we've vaccinated 80 million people in 3 months in the past. We have professionals, we have the infrastructure, we just needed strong measures and a federal plan to deal with COVID-19. The reason that did not happen was because of Bolsonaro. He chose to not only ignore the problem, but encourage people to live their lives normally. He didn't buy the Pfizer vaccines when we needed to. Hell, he went on television to say Covid-19 was just a "little flu". He fired the health minister 3 times IN A PANDEMIC. He's the one to blame for this situation.

And those things aren't very radioactive. Just as I said.

Most of what you've read about plutonium is patent nonsense. For one, it isn't even close to being the "most toxic substance known". You can pick up a lump of it and hold in in your hand. You'll be fine. Really. It is an alpha emitter, and alpha radiation can be stopped by your skin or even a piece of paper. You'd have to eat it before you saw any ill effects.

Not to mention that plutonium is a useful nuclear fuel. It's not going to be left lying around.

You do know that the ocean has megatons of uranium in it? Why aren't you concerned about that?

For that matter, we could grind up all the nuclear waste ever produced and disperse it in the ocean. It wouldn't change the radioactivity of sea water by any significant degree.

The Soviets used to dump their scrap sub reactors in the Arctic Ocean whole. There are a bunch of them up there.

> CO2 has a half life of ~ 10 years in our atmosphere btw.

Oh? So we can just wait until things start to get uncomfortably warm, then stop cranking out CO2 for a decade or two and everything will be better?

Ad revenue that Amazon receives as a publisher, which comes from a diverse set of ad products served both on Amazon-owned sites and externally via their DSP.

This paper talks about different government interventions and their effectiveness and there is no analysis of US states. There is no control group here and this is just bad science

The new Sourceforge team has generally done a great job. Here is a review that might help some people.

Pros:

For general project discussion, Sourceforge's traditional discussion forum is far superior to Github/GitLab issues (though I haven't tried Github Discussions beta yet). The forum can be configured for users to be able to post without creating an account (though only as a specific user named "Anonymous", not arbitrary names) which is as important feature when creating software for users who aren't likely to have Github or Sourceforge accounts.

Sourceforge download statistics tracking of releases (including graphing per country and with arbitrary timestamps) is far superior to Github, which doesn't offer even private tracking of download numbers without directly using their API. This is actually a really ridiculous situation.

Cons:

Sourceforge recently added the ability for the project administrator to mark any review as spam, which automatically hides it. This single change has completely ruined the trustworthiness of Sourceforge's reviews, as unscrupulous application authors are able to mark all poor reviews as spam so users only see good reviews. Because of this, I recommend AlternativeTo (http://alternativeto.net/), as they have better review non-interference policy.

Sourceforge's entire website seems to go into maintenance mode for a few minutes every 24 hours, which is frustrating for those in less favorable timezones.

Even after using it for a long time, Sourceforge user-interface and settings/permissions is overly complex, confusing and non-intuitive. I find Github's well designed settings page much easier. Though admittedly Github has its share of UI quirks. New Github users are understandably initially confused by the concept of Pull Requests (which should have been called Merge Requests) and the fork user-interface. As a developer familiar with both tools (and git, PRs etc) I find Github easier to use than Sourceforge, which is saying something.

Many Sourceforge projects tend to have their source code mirrored on a rarely updated Github project, which then gets forked and developed without changes being upstreamed, which causes fragmentation.

Many third-party tools (like CircleCI) tend to target only Github (and to a lesser degree GitLab/Bitbucket) and ignore Sourceforge entirely.

It's too easy for newbie users to download older releases (Github has the same issue unless you create a Github Pages site to highlight the most recent release).

Conclusion:

Sourceforge is actually a reasonable tool to develop open-source software in 2021.

For new projects I would generally suggest sticking with Github and GitLab, but for existing projects on Sourceforge changing hosting to Github may not be required.

The real killer is lack of integration of third-party tools like CircleCI. That's enough to switch to Github. But you will likely miss the excellent download statistics, anonymous support forum and user review system.
