> I get that this type of reactor is interesting as a research project. But given the build times, the bureaucratic hurdles and the quality, cost effectiveness and diversity of renewable alternatives, why bother?

Why bother? Because volatile renewable energy is not efficient at redid greenhouse gas emissions.

Compare France and Germany.

Germany: 50% renewables, 300 million tons of CO2 per year in the energy sector

France: 70% nuclear, 50 million tons of CO2 per year in the energy sector

This reads like something you would find on the ThatHappened subreddit. I bet your classmates also clapped after you so brutally took down that dumbass teacher with facts and logic, right?

You had to take that class to learn not to take everything you read at face value. As sometimes happen people decide to go the other way around and declare that texts never have any deeper meaning and that it is all just nonsense and gosh darn how can those liberal arts even exist??????

It’s a shame because it prevents you from enjoying literature at a deeper level, instead of saying that Anna Karenina is the exact same as some silly airport novel.
Many metrics are also created just for the need for metrics.

I am reading a draft of "development metrics" for my company and "frequency of code commits" is right at the top for quantifying developer productivity.

The only reason this document exists is that generating quarterly goals is also a metric, which is why I am not afraid of lazy productivity metrics being implemented.
Just because you overeat and overindulge when it's free and shoved in front of you doesn't mean you need, want, or will buy the same food if it's not.
I actually had a manager at a company openly say they were having trouble finding an intern as they only wanted a minority. I ended up waiting for months.

The Union of Concerned Scientists report linked from the article makes it sound like a disaster:

https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/advanced-isnt-always-better

But it also comes off as one-sided. I know there are a lot of nuclear power fans on this forum. Does anyone have some good links presenting the other side of the argument, that these reactors are safe and/or necessary?

I'm not sure about Google, but at MS we absolutely use our own cloud heavily. sometimes there's big legacy stuff, but nowadays most of that has gone onto Azure under the hood. I've heard Amazon is much the same way.

the only exception I can really think of is infrastructure that you need to recover from disasters, which isn't on Azure for obvious bootstrapping reasons.
I just can't imagine wanting to eat 3 meals a day at work, no matter how good they are.
Is there any particular component of this that disgusts you?

You could likely do that and end up spending less money than buying food and cooking for yourself. If you don't cook you can free up your time for other revenue generating activities, chores, etc. Total cost of 2x to 4x delivered meals in my area could be $20 to $80. That's ~$320 or 80 less then the $400 number quoted in other places in this thread.

It's pretty rational behavior from the employees side of things.

And, even before Google, when I started living alone I realized I couldn't buy milk anymore because I don't drink enough milk fast enough to not let it spoil. I've switched to soy purely because it lasts months I'm my fridge safely.
> If I understand it correctly, nuclear power has inherent latency issues that mean it can't respond to demand-spikes within seconds or minutes, but needs about an hour or so?

No, nuclear plants can regulate within minutes and it’s done in Germany.

Source in German: https://www.ktg.org/ktg-wAssets/docs/fg-bet-rph-lastfolgebet...

Fluctuations on the second scale are compensated by the large turbine wheels of the power generators of large plants such as nuclear and coal.

Also, normal demand doesn’t change so fast anyways. The fluctuations comes from wind and solar plants.

> Now for the question about why would you be interested. If low latency gaming is not interesting to you, then it would not be the product for you.

That was meant to be constructive :)

I enjoy typing and drawing on my iPad Pro, and one of the reasons it is enjoyable is that the iPad Pro has very low input latency.

The "low latency" thing is a bullet point on a spec sheet. What sells me is the enjoyable experience.

Your interesting approach is not what people are going to buy. They're going to buy what happens because of it. That's what you've got to sell if you want to sustain the development!
>I have a very good idea why it was written like that, however: the mere availability and ease of use of abstract data structures naturally leads to their overuse by what seems to be an overwhelming majority of developers, and the eagerness to "futureproof" and add unnecessary complexity is also very common.

To give some context, iterating over an array of three small items takes worst case roughly 100ns(cache miss), best case 1ns(l1 cache hit). Most common hashmap implementations (like std::unordered_map) dynamically allocate items so they're stored randomly in memory, giving roughly 300ns worst case(3 cache misses), 3ns best case(3 l1 cache hits) for iterating over them. So using a hash map is going to be 3x slower without even accounting for the time spent hashing, and 3x more likely to hit the worse case due to requiring three cachelines still in the l1 cache for best performance as opposed to just one. If regularly adding/deleting items, using a std::unordered_map would literally be orders of magnitude slower due to using malloc/free for each item added/removed.

That’s something that proponents of solar and wind power always happen to “forget” when they make these comparisons.

Solar has a capacity factor of around 10% in Europe (don’t know for the US), so it effectively only generates 10% of its maximum generation output every year.
Most of the attacks could be avoided if the employee didn't click that PDF that came from a weird address or if they didn't click that link to check what's the problem with that shipment they are not expecting.
How are you proposing to stop fileless malware with application whitelisting? How about popping shells on firewalls with memory corruption, then using the creds to pivot live-off-the-land style? Solarigate style supply chain attacks?

Whitelisting is the cool buzzword again, but it doesn't do much against human operated ransomware. It's a huge effort to implement (I know you want to say it isn't; try it and learn) and it's not very useful.

That's why most shops skip it.

IIRC Sony puts DRM in their controllers, there's a chip with a key on it that Sony only gives out to selected partners. I'm not sure how 3rd party companies did it without the chip but afaik the method is not open source.

We don't make enough time for our own lives. Hell, it's hard enough to find time to actually make an enjoy a dinner.
The trick is: as soon as you notice it drifting, take your finger off it and let it come to a stop. If you keep pushing opposite the drift it'll never stop.

Also, if you haven't in a while, replace your cap. I replace mine every year or so and it makes it perform much better. You don't have to push as hard, which also reduces the drift problem.
> The entire company is staying in place: we just have different owners now.

Says everyone who is involved in huge company acquisitions ever, and most of the time it does not hold true. The rest is common marketing talk.

I'm certainly not saying it is impossible for that to be true, but such a statement itself does not hold any value.
A chef friend in DC tried this recently. They say marinated + fried they are good, like mild shrimp. Roasted however, and you get a snack that is crunchy on the outside with a "goosh" as you bite in. Not recommended.
It's management's responsibility to have enough of a clue to look at their employees and determine that they're gaming the system. If they can't do that, then they shouldn't be management.
I don’t think they are trying to keep the employees single, but they are definitely trying to get them to spend more time in the office.

Did it really remember all your choices or did your choices just match with the default settings (strictly necessary = on, everything else = off)?

In either case, it's still a problem. It's my impression that if you make the effort to actually customize and decline those options you'll have to do it repeatedly since very few sites will remember those choices - probably on purpose. Luckily uBlock Origin hides most of those annoying consent popups.
I've seen this a lot on here combined with cs degrees being frequently mentioned and software engineering degrees rarely mentioned.

Are people widely choosing computer science over software engineering and then being surprised they aren't studying software engineering or is it rare for institutions to offer software engineering as an option?
I don't know how people survive day-to-day with a perspective like yours. Work is life is equally as toxic. Some people don't have the same values as you... shocking.
The problem wasn’t the media. I accept that media can be biased as long as all sides can say their thing.

Ah yeah. I'm using python now for the same reason. I don't need more concurrency than a couple of servers with a few web threads and worker threads would give me.

PAAS level deployment and failover is sufficient. (Edit: for my needs at the moment)

If you keep your async tasks in memory in any system they'll disappear when you deploy.

So they weren't really reliant on the things that set erlang apart. So the cost of the small support base in tooling and libraries is more significant.
Does anyone know the details of their AirGap service?

Taking services/networks offline is common during incident response management so it might be indicative of them taking appropriate action rather than them being knocked off-line.

Let’s hope their service lives up to the marketing.

There’s a much vaster gulf between a truck driver and a truck engineer, vs a Java programmer and a programmer one layer below. Per your analogy, the truck driver is the program user here, not the program maintainer.
> Second, where is this idea coming from that corrupted backups are the issue?

When I read about how ransomware encrypted every drive attached to it, and encrypted the backup drives when they were attached. This was why the ransomware waited some length of time before shutting off access to the user - they wanted to get the backup drives encrypted, too.

Exactly. The cities with vibrant centers will just end up attracting a different type of folk. I’m not convinced that even when working from home I’d want to live anywhere other than Manhattan if I could choose. Unfortunately businesses that catered to the office population might take a hit (or they might not? Still not clear if the offices will just fill with different types of workers, not every job can be remote).

I am currently in process of getting a very lucrative offer; one of my major considerations was that I've only been in the current position for 7 mo. Your comment was very reassuring for me. However, I have once been declined a position for not having worked enough at (then) current place, and have been asked about whether I would also leave the company in a year or so.
The $60 is laughably high, but the value of the perk of $400 a month might also be too low considering part of the appeal is presumably that it all gets looked after for you and you don’t have to prep food or even think about your meals (the value of having all your meals cooked for you isn’t the same as the value of the ingredients).
I personally think the Lenna image has transcended it's origin and is to me not more sexist than, say, an antique nude statue. But if people are bothered by this - if they are weirded out or feel even a bit uncomfortable - then it is a no-brainer to just take a different picture!
I liked the book ‘Elixir in Action’. It shows some of the language then immediately jumps into building a way too overcomplicated program (a distributed TODO list) that nicely shows off the features of elixir.

After that I just read some codebases. I find elixir codebases extraordinarily easy to read. The language does a great job of making ‘the good way’ also ‘the easy way’, and the linear nature of functional code is much clearer than the usual indirect dependency injected hell. Papercups is a fairly good starting point I think. I liked the livebook codebases too.
> If that is required there are other data structures to pick from.

Not really since it’s Go (“lol no generics”): there’s no easy way to swap the builtin hashmap for an other associative array with deterministic behaviour and you will lose something (definitely performances, likely either convenience or type-safety, possibly both).
Interesting how everybody focuses on the things that they know about: technical solutions, legal solutions aiming at the victims, payment options and so on.

When the real failure is somewhere else: bringing these perps to justice. The fact that they can get away with this over and over again hiding behind anonymity is what enables these crimes.
Go does have that, but it also specifically and explicitly randomises iteration order.
