*Disclaimer: I don't know the specifics of this case. That said...

I don't think game developers are supposed or allowed to update console games directly, without going through the update and approval process by the console manufacturer. And this game was on PS2, which didn't have permanent storage at launch; PS2 games were generally not updateable. The optional HDD that came out later (see [1]). This title most likely did not require it, but even if it did, I doubt Sony had prepared a strategy for official game updates yet.

The fact that this simple line of reasoning seems to be completely missing from the minds of anti nuclear activists is...perplexing.
> Nuclear was never subsidized in Germany

You don't really believe that, don't you?

> Anyone who claims that nuclear power is a step towards nuclear weapons has no clue about the history of nuclear technology and has no clue how Uranium and Plutonium for nuclear bombs is made.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_nuclear_weapon_progra...

"Japan was reported in 2012 to have 9 tonnes of plutonium in Japan, enough for more than 1,000 nuclear warheads, and an additional 35 tonnes stored in Europe.[37][38] It has constructed the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant, which could produce further plutonium.[37] Japan has a considerable quantity of highly enriched uranium (HEU), supplied by the U.S. and UK, for use in its research reactors and fast neutron reactor research programs; approximately 1,200 to 1,400 kg of HEU as of 2014.[39] Japan also possesses an indigenous uranium enrichment plant[32][40] which could hypothetically be used to make highly enriched uranium suitable for weapons use."
Let's assess its feasibility first. In the point of the China military view, a significant portion of the Taiwan island occupation must be done before the US intervention. And their limited amphibious attack capability complicates the problem. Taiwan has 200k standing army and 250k more reserve forces, thus China probably needs to deploy at least 500k, preferably more than 1M of its army into Taiwan within a week or less. Otherwise, it will need to face the 7th fleet which will make the further amphibious invasion much harder.

And yes, the current China navy is not capable of doing so, and this is perfectly natural because the scale of such amphibious invasion in a such short time frame is non-precedent. They are desperately ramping up the capability of course, but it is not a that easy work. And the associated cost on the failure is pretty clear; they will lose its grip on South China sea. Taiwan re-unification is somehow political idealism-driven, but the control on South China sea is directly connected to China's national interest.
I just did the same thing (out of laziness of course) and then saw this great point. Deleted mine.
This is a common misconception. Operations is a different skill from development. I've seen dev run prod workloads and while I am sure there are people who do it well I see it done poorly more often than not.

If the US doesn't respond with massive force, both Japan and S Korea will be forced to "develop" (read, unveil and ramp up) their weapons programs, closely followed by Indonesia because they will assume Australia is doing so secretly. Indonesia could teach the Saudis a thing or two about fundamentalism and intolerance, and they tend not to have strong leadership. Nobody wants them to have a hydrogen bomb.
AFAIK the new SourceForge, after they’ve been bought, is much better. Also, much less relevant now that everything is on GitHub.
David MacKay's book "sustainable energy: without the hot air" has a section that estimates if nuclear fission might work as a large scale long-lived energy source

Problem with most sources is, there are always assumptions and caveats: Such as cost-based calculations (maybe or maybe not) including teardown and recycling, storage cost, capital cost, land cost, etc. Others do market-price-based calculations (preferably in those markets that prove their point), so you get renewable prices from Germany (where renewables are hugely subsidized and have to be consumed preferentially) that are sometimes even negative, or you get nuclear prices from France, where the owner of all nuclear power plants is a state owned corp (EDF) that is "rescued" from bancruptcy every few years to keep prices down.

I did pick the IPCC reports because those are usually regarded as being careful amalgamations of the available scientific data. Since there are lots of eyes on those reports, larger mistakes should have been pointed out already.

But you are right that there is contradictory information out there, and I don't really have the perfect authoritative source either.
I really don't get this push to polyglot programming when 99% of the high performance libraries use C++. Even more, openAPI has DPC++, SPIR-V has SYCL, CUDA is even building a C++ standard library that is heterogeneous supporting both CPU and GPU, libcu++. Seriously now, how many people from JVM or CLR world actually need this level of high performance? How many actually push kernels to the GPU from these runtimes? I have yet to see a programming language that will replace C++ at what it does best. Maybe Zig because it is streamlined and easier to get into will be a true contender to C++ HPC but only time will tell.

Storing it is extremely expensive, at least with any currently available technology.

This is apparent looking at how much energy prices change throughout the day / month based on usage and cost of production, and how predictable those changes are.

If storing energy were cost effective you could make a killing buying low and selling high on the national grid.

The problem with trees-as-carbon capture is:

1. They are only a net store of carbon while they're alive.

2. Because of that, you need to dedicate land to carbon-capture forest, indefinitely.

3. Burning fossil fuels for energy releases more and more carbon into the atmosphere.

Like, you get N tons of carbon captured out of a given land area. It's constant per area. So you would need to continually grow the amount of forested land just to follow the amount of carbon released by burning fossil fuels.

But: land is finite. The actual worldwide trend has been to deforest land, either for lumber, or slash-and-burn for subsistence farming in poor countries, or just to allow for population growth, or the large land area needed for wind and solar farms. We don't have a huge surplus of not-yet-forest land — can't grow trees in deserts.
I don't understand where people come up with this nonsense. All diary products gradually lose lactose as they are processed more and more, so for example 24 month old Gruyere doesn't contain any of it (less than 0.1g for 100g even for standard ones). You can be hardcore intolerant and still enjoy this fine Swiss product or any other from hundreds French ones, British etc. without any issue, in any amount.

Plus all the rest others written.
Or we could extract it and not burn it, making it "carbon negative".

Though your comment has a problem. It isn't carbon that is the problem, it is carbon in the air. If we did 100% CO2 extraction from coal fire plants they wouldn't be a real climate issue (overly simplified). Similarly we can't consider sewage as a carbon 0 cycle because eating turns a solid carbon source (food) into a gas. Carbon is fine, carbon in the air is not fine. Sewage is only neutral in the respect that we've already converted it to a gas (unless we accelerate this process, which is typically done) but doesn't account for the conversion process that happens.
Same question to you: how is this "opensource hate"?
Agree.

Close to zero progress in electrifying European produced cars. I would say unions are the cause for the delay resisting any change away from skills their members have, but obsoleted by electric cars with 1/10 the number of parts required.
“Right wing propaganda”?

You are welcome to either a) promote a set of research articles or materials of similar quality from reputable sources, or b) come across as thinking that basically all reputable mainstream media and universities in liberal democracies are sources of “right wing propaganda”.

Looking at your post history I know the answer already (It’s a bit hard to read considering most of your posts are so for voted the font is almost invisible). If you are on a crusade to convince people that undemocratic regimes foster trustworthy media while Swedish universities produce right wing propaganda I think you’ll find it’s going to be hard work.

Open source is to software makers what Groupon is to restaurants: a way to get people in the door, but many of those people are not, and will never become, the customers you seek. Every open source business sells something else, often a solution to its own complexity, such as managed instances.

It is pretty normal for most universities to require all assignments be submitted via TurnItIn or a similar tool that can do aggregated plagiarism checks not just against published articles but also assignments submitted by other students.

But it doesn't apply to conference papers as far as I know or journal articles either. (As in when submitting to a journal for publication).

> It absolutely does, if we're willing to actually try.

We are trying that since 66 years, since the first nuclear power plant.

What we have achieved so far is a nuclear industry which is hardly able to keep the status quo of installed power generation, sky high rising costs for building nuclear power plants, extremely long build times, very little technological progress in the last decade, unsolved financial and technological problems, ...

If it were commercially viable and scalable, it would thrive by now.

All the promised next-gen problem solvers like breeders, thorium fuel cycle, reprocessing industries, ... have been more costly and financially toxic.
I doubt the US would launch a nuclear countervalue first strike against Chinese cities. A more likely scenario would be that the Chinese use a tactical nuclear weapon to knock out a US Navy carrier, and then the US retaliates against a Chinese military base, and then the situation escalates from there.

I’m with you, but one is something that someone on the other side can claim “is just an opinion”, the other can be backed by scientific evidence. As far as speech goes, censoring the latter is a lot easier to justify than censoring the former.
The fun thing is, the units are basically unimportant! A factor of 10^3 or two is peanuts on 10^17. Humans have just as terrible intuitions about 10^14 and 10^11 as they do about 10^17.

IDK if its Go's problem honestly. Data modeling is hard. Its hard for a reason. If a language like python makes it seem easy, its still hard but your perception and attitude towards it has changed because some of the busy work has been taken out of it - possibly in a way that costs you down the road.

Let's be honest programming languages are the punching bags of developers.
Yeah, it gets used for a lot of things -- seemingly, anyone who wants a positive or trendy word related to operations uses it to describe whatever they want. Just a few examples I've encountered:

- "we have dedicated ops people who do things that are similar to programming", but also do all classic ops toil

- "We have SREs", both in name only, or in reality

- "all the ops-work is done by the devs"

- "devs and ops are separate teams, but, we make them work together better somehow"

- "we use kubernetes / we use docker / we use a cloud hosting service"

- "the devs are on call too"

etc.

Yes but if you were Russia and Ukraine was signaling that it wishes to join the EU and NATO at that point how long would you be able to rely on that lease?

This is the same reason why Russia got involved in Syria, it has only a handful of warm water ports and essentially all of them are at a precarious position where they ship need to traverse potentially hostile choke points.
Coincidently, I was independently wondering about this too.

The same measure is taken for other valuable targets. For example, many major bridges in the US are rigged to self-destruct in the event of capture during land invasion. You won't find much information about this online. All I can say is, there's a reason why many jobs at the US DOT require a security clearance. If you want to read up on another real world example of this, here's an article about how Switzerland implemented this: https://99percentinvisible.org/article/designed-for-demoliti...

There is an interesting theory by Dimitry Khalezov concerning 9/11. He states that this was also done for the NYC World Trade Center and the Chicago Sears Tower. He claims the event occured because a bad actor gained control of this demolition system for the WTC, and that the planes were part of a cover story. It's an interesting explanation.

I had a house for a time that had just what you describe: a concrete block thermal mass set in the foundation. There were ducts running through it as part of the forced-air system. During the days, especially sunny days, the block soaked up the excess heat and then radiated it back out during the night. It worked quite well; indoor temperatures stayed remarkably consistent. A company called Adirondack Alternate Energy were the architects.

Nuclear power seems incredibly expensive and complicated, even more so than large coal power plants. The logistics alone are crazy.

Nuclear power's inherent radiation danger to living organisms and our shiny new 3nm GPUs is also real. Additionally uranium ore seems quite limited on earth and thus makes nuclear fission seem like a non-scaleable technology. Maybe this resource is better used to solve rare edge cases like powering infrastructure in space and implementing big red buttons for our presidents, supreme leaders and chairmen.

Nobody can rule out accidents or malicious things going on with the spent fuel anyways.

Wind and solar are very cheap and the sun won't turn off anytime soon. Can't we cover the planet's deserts with photovoltaics and wind turbines? Couldn't we ship the converted energy using high voltage DC lines or hydrogen/methane pipelines?

Is it really so hard to cooperate with or convince the nations involved who own the biggest deserts?
Did this person just take the concept of "free" used by "free software" and imply that the meaning of this "free" is as in "having rights"?

I ask because he compared it to frying pans. Frying pans can't be "free", therefor software can't be "free"???

I've always understood "free software" to mean "software that gives the user control over what it does and does not do"
