> The first reply to the thread deems "map" and "filter" borderline-useful, but "reduce" not worth it - that type of misunderstading just shows that the author (and the 60+ people who +1'd it) didn't spend enough time understading functional constructs yet.

It’s not very charitable to assume that people who disagree with you must not understand your position. In particular, one person could like reduce() because it’s very abstract and can be used for lots of problems, but critics could dislike it because very high levels of abstraction impede readability. Both parties may understand each other, but they are optimizing for different things (abstraction for its own sake and readability, respectively).
It's more about not where you start and how rotated is what you are drawing, but rather about if you are drawing it clock-wise or counter clock-wise.
> Think of it this way; if emoji are letters, emoji variants are sort of like diacritics.

Lovely clarifying metaphor.

On the machine I’m using right now I can’t display an emoji combined with an alphabetic diacritic. In fact there is no UI to construct it; I had to write a tiny program to output the sequence. Clearly this is something that should be the Unicode standard.

Your take isn't informed, as the reasoning behind the change, as explained by the editorial teams I linked above, and which has been debated academically, is an explicit counter to your primary argument.

Your take is "I have an opinion!"

> It never got as cheap as it was claimed it would be, accounting for loan interest or not.

I would say "citation needed". France typically had a documented public investment plan for nuclear energy, and is enjoying one of the cheapest and low-carbon emission electricity in Europe.

> And now we have just experienced a decade where intermittent renewables have plummeted in cost to below that of fuel-base energy

I still read this here and there, but strangely, solar/wind still need large subsidiaries to exist. How so ?

Other renewable such as hydro are fine, though, but they tend to be already at their max everywhere.

> And storage is on that trend too, with storage being added to most solar and wind projects these days

We don't have real storage solutions for now. Batteries ? Won't scale. Reversible dams ? Doable if you have the chance to have a lot of hydro.
> this exploit isn't to the autonomy or vehicle control system, it's to the infotainment system. It can command auxilliary systems like wipers and doors, and in theory it could do somewhat nefarious stuff like present incorrect data to the user or provide faked waypoints to the navigation system. But it can't actually drive the car.

Doesn't sound that reassuring, though. For a self-driving car it wouldn't matter, but as long as a human driver is in control, the infotainment system does affect motion of the car, by proxy of the driver. Could the infotainment system, or the wipers, make a driver crash their car? I find it highly likely. Imagine speeding down the highway - suddenly, your in-car speakers start blasting your ears with 80dB music, while the wipers start to dance and the car keeps spraying the cleaning fluid all over your windshield.
> where formal methods is actually used?

Formal methods are useful where the cost of bugs greatly exceed the cost of formal verification.

Most software systems do not fall into this category, but some do: space launches, transport safety systems, medical equipments and particle colliders are good examples. The LHC has several of its subsystems formally verified, for example.
I am hopeful for this concept, but what is your content moderation policy?

https://rootsofprogress.org/devanney-on-the-nuclear-flop is a review of "Why Nuclear Power Has Been a Flop" by Jack Devanney.

Based on the review, the short version is that the regulators use the wrong threat model for radiation (LNT), and a regulatory model which effectively requires nuclear to be unprofitable (ALARA).

The review describes briefly what needs to be changed.
As someone who works in the field very little of this happens now compared to say 30 years ago. Hell, industry can’t even give pens now.

Yes, smaller companies will still blatantly break the law sometimes, but it’s rare versus decades ago where “perks” were business as usual.

Completely agree. Their whole statement is completely bizarre IMO. As you state, the ENTIRE PURPOSE of this board was (or at least should be) to act as arbiter in these cases where there is really no right answer - Facebook is guaranteed to get pilloried (as they already have) no matter which side they come down on, so at least having a semi-independent board to make these decisions should keep them as neutral as possible.

On the other hand, I think it also highlights the reality that the US has deep, unbridgeable divides now that really nobody wants to touch, even if it's their job to do so.

The capital requirements for starting a nuclear company is likely much large than starting, say, an EV company. Subsidies for EV companies greatly helped in getting the technology off the ground. Subsidies might be a necessary evil in this case.
That’s only because nuclear hasn’t seen serious investment in generations. That’s why solar and wind has come down.

Peloton’s API let anyone grab riders’ private account data
Whether subsidies are a good idea or not in general for nuclear is an interesting question. The article states that the current plan is to give production tax credits - tax credits for energy produced. Such a subsidy, which does not help mitigate the up front capital costs, would therefore not really address the root problem in the US.

To the more general question though: subsidies are to incentivize people (or companies) to do a thing (or do more of a thing). In the case of nuclear power, the timelines involved in building a power plant are so long, and given the uncertainty of having the same tax credits staying in place for long enough to impact financial plans, it seems unlikely that it would actually have the effect we'd want on nuclear power production.
And further, could this become implicit?

E.g. if a large enough cultural group - woke brigade, christians, alt-right, whatever - seeds the website, and they upvote mostly each other's posts and comments, I can imagine that this creates a very strong echo chamber effect. Even stronger than reddit, because any contrarians would have to pay for the privilege of being shouted down, and because you don't yet have segmentation of the website, and because there are no downvotes. I can't imagine anyone staying, if they're not a member of the dominant tribe.

I know OP pictures "being nice and helpful" the Schelling point around which activity crystallizes, but it doesn't have to be so, and it won't necessarily remain constant, imho. It might as become a libertarian hub, and the only discussions will be about libertarian talking points and memes. Or a hub for any of the other major sides in the culture war or other strong internet subcultures.
I understand where you're coming from, but I think it's built on assumptions that I'm saying don't necessarily need to be true. Namely, that cleaning your dishes is "distasteful" which tracks with the originally assertion that you do some jobs just to get them done to get to what you really want. I.e., they are just a means to an end.

My claim is this can be unhealthy because you're not really living in the present and constantly stuck in the mindset of "once this distasteful thing is done, then I can get to the stuff that makes me happy." Or to steal from The Good Place, "Humans only live for 80 years and they spend so much of it waiting for things to be over."
Not op, but both happen. People do lie about their own past when it is politically or otherwise inconvenient. Including to their own family. People also lie about their relatives past, if it is convenient.

And people are more likely to talk about their family past if it sounds cool and good. They are less likely to talk about ugly parts of it.

Regardless of whether ugly is personal, business related or political.

"Many problems for which you might end up using something like Kafka streams just lend themselves nicely into the streams/collections -like style"

Have you actually taken the time to write out what it looks like, as I have in that blog post above, though? It's not pretty. Any sane Go programmer is not going to want to use this for very much. (I write that carefully. I anticipate using it a non-zero amount myself. But it's not going to be a lot.)

I understand liking map/filter/reduce, even if it is the beginning of functional programming rather than the end. I don't understand absolutely demanding it in languages where it doesn't fit well and insisting on using it no matter the cost.
>> The rules themselves can be non-deterministic?

Then what rules govern the dice? What determines when they are rolled?

A lot of ideas can boil down to the universe is a static construct. Adding randomness in the "unfolding over time" might just mean replaying it could lead to different outcomes. But in both cases I think the key question is Why do we perceive the passage of time?

According to 2014 Elon Musk, if you cover the same square footage as taken up by a nuclear power plant and its exclusion zone with solar cells, you’ll get more electricity than the nuclear power plant would have supplied.

2014 was a long time ago. It’s possible both technologies have improved since then. I wonder why we don’t hear about this comparison more.

I think that the lack of pollution taxes is the main subsidy, but it should not be brushed aside just because it is not a direct payment. Coal emissions (not just CO2) are really, really bad and kill many thousands of people every year. Imagine if the main source of organ transplants was kidnapping young people and stealing their organs. Now imagine that the government knew who was doing the kidnapping and just let them do it because it allowed for an abundant supply of cheap organ replacements. Not to mention, all of the kidnappers would be out of a job if the government cracked down.

Coal power was probably a net benefit in the beginning, but there are much better alternatives now.
>Your profile may be set to 'Adaptive', and it may automatically use the 'Primarily AC' behavior.

Initially, it was set to Adaptive by default in the BIOS. During the process of fault-finding -- changed it to 'Standard' hoping that the firmware will relinquish control and give it back to the OS, allowing it to over-ride any settings. I have toggled settings for power management where you can choose the mode of charging, to prolong battery life i.e. constant power or restricted to certain levels, schedules etc., without any joy.

I have reset the BIOS a couple of times, but will try all your suggested solutions from scratch, including installing the Dell Power Manager ─ something I have not tried before ─ to see where it leads. Thanks for your continued patience. I will let you know what happens, regardless of the outcome.
To be fair, reputation purchasing describes plenty of boards of publicly traded companies.
Map and filter are extremely simple, far simpler than a for-loop. They can only do two things: transform items in a collection, and remove items from a collection. After mapping you know for sure that a collection will still have the same number of elements. After filtering you know that all the elements remaining still have the same type. For-loops can do anything. It’s a question of what you’re most familiar with and used to.
"Repair an entire planet's atmosphere" vs "store a few hundred tons of radioactive material safely" are definitely very different levels of problems.

> All characters are yellow, but not Apu.

This is a great example. All the yellow characters in The Simpsons are coded white (from my recollection).

Nobody is actually yellow, but bright yellow skin is very clearly obviously not black or dark brown; it's much more functionally similar to light skin tones.

Maybe the "true" solution would be to use a color that's completely different from all skin tones, such as a very deep blue color. But my immediate reaction to the thought of deep blue emoji is that I wouldn't identify with them - which, again, kind of proves the point that bright yellow is much easier to identify with for light-skinned people
I guess it depends on who is trying to break in and why.

I remember reading a reddit AMA from a former burglar and he said that these windows did stop him, because he would be looking to get in and out as quickly and inconspicuously as possible and these would slow him down enough that he would try elsewhere instead.

So, for a random opportunistic burglar, they may work quite well, but for somebody determined or someone with more time (eg if you live in a secluded area and they know you're away for long enough), there's always a way in. I've watched enough lockpicking videos to know its not that hard and enough defcon talks to know that lockpicking is rarely necessary. If someone determined wants to get into your home, they will.

You are assuming the objective is clean power.

This is awesome. In certain industries (manufacturing, energy, etc) there are companies (really 1 company) that essentially have monopolies on time series databases / historians. There has been 0 competition in that space and as a result the databases and surrounding client tools are just so awful. It'll be interesting to see if timescaledb can really enter that market and force those companies to adapt.

I've worked in roles a level or two above my current one for two consecutive years. They wouldn't promote me. Then they outsourced my job and I had to switch stacks and teams at the company. I saw them violate their own policies multiple times to my detriment. I have zero desire to perform or try for a promotion now. They actually told me that if I want to get promoted I have to put in more hours. They wanted me to increase my working hours by 13% for a 7% raise in a role with more responsibilities.

I think it goes to show how impossible it is to judge an idea. YC itself doesn't pretend to do this with the ~15,000 applications they go through each cohort. They try instead to look at the team, look at their progress, imagine what would need to happen for the company to succeed at the level required for them to get the returns they seek.
