This is a good sign. At one time it was going to burn previously used fuel rods from other reactors (which simultaneously generates power and cuts down on stored nuclear waste). Not quite a breeder reactor, it does make fuel as it operates and then burns it.

From a whitepaper[1] Bill Gates discussed how the reactor would start with "some" fuel and a bunch of depleted uranium. It would then convert the DU into plutonium (PU) and burn it. Letting it run a very long time without refueling and for lower cost.

On their web site they show a two stage heat transfer system (primary sodium loop and secondary loop) that isolates the reactor's loop from the loop used to generate power. And finally the fact that you gravity feed the control rods in and it stops, while running at ambient air pressure means that things like the explosions that popped the top off the Fukishima reactors can't happen.

Personally, I'd rather have Blender integrate the feature set of Inkscape and Gimp directly - in the same way that Blender makes an awesome video editor today.
This reads like marketing. A pilot should be able to speak to problems with more nuance than that. This is just too awkward and too general to be taken seriously.
Here's a link to NEM mix this week in case anyone else is interested:

Maybe power from further away could help toward replacing the base power. A little more sunlight for the east coast peak. Less chance of a cloud or a still day on the east coast causing an issue like Callide coal exploding the other day. Yeah it is a stretch (literally thousands of kilometres).

If we're being ambitious, I'm excited about off-shore wind. If end game for NEM is 2/3 wind and 1/3 solar (with storage/hydro/gas in single-digit percentages filling the gaps) there are many inevitable projects and growing pains to come.
I'd just like to add to that:

1. The daily routine and commute helps reset your brain and get you in/out of "work mode"

2. You don't have to cannibalize your home desk to make way for your work PC, or set up a second desk for work PC

3. No deciding what to get for lunch, it's whatever is closest or catered, no wanting a coffee and finding that you need to run to the store

4. If your team isn't meeting your sprint goals, someone can look at you and verify that you are working, so they won't automatically assume that the problem is with you
I’ve worked in a military setting where brotherhood was real, but the only employer that pushed family (I found it to be cultish at the beginning) turned into a greedy soul sucking hell hole.
Drones are great for many missions... until you send them to an enemy that can jam the RF link used for remote control.

Until we develop the technology to build an AGI, there’s still a need for fighters with human beings on board for autonomy.

Not everyone is painfully asocial - and I say this as a rather asocial person myself who's only ever held remote or remote-friendly roles.

I couldn't imagine wilfully remaining at a job with coworkers so toxic that regular interaction with them is an ordeal.
Pretty sure they are trying to finger out if there's a chance of mistranslation or an extra layer of pun to it.
>The Inc journalist did a lazy job of presenting facts

And so are you. As has been pointed out multiple times, the assertions made about BRs and HMs in this thread are flat out incorrect, and yet you are continuing to rely on them and even go as far as to tout them in other comments in other threads as well.

>close an eye and report as vaguely as possible, mostly citing external sources but somehow making the story sound original so you get some credit as well

This is exactly what you are doing throughout this thread by repeating the notion that Amazon "separat[es] the ownership of hiring and firing", which if you were willing to do any amount of research rather than just blindly trusting a random internet comment, you would find just isn't true.

You are holding yourself to a different bar than Inc, which is hypocritical. The point about removing Amazon emotional context here also applies to Inc, because it's clear you personally have a lot of emotional baggage related to journalists. So the question is: would you post these same disparaging comments, and still maintain the same "my statement may be incorrect but I will continue to repeat it anyway" if it was your favorite high school teacher you were disparaging, potentially ruining their career? I would certainly hope not, so I don't see any reason other than arrogance of why you would do so here.

If you are stuck living somewhere where music is illegal, and you happen to listen to some music on the sly and get caught by a perfect system, and punished, how is that better?

Better would be if people can live freely without having to worry about a perfect system tracking their every action.

There is no person alive on earth today who does not do things that would get them punished under the law of some government somewhere.

And you want the law enforcement systems to be perfect?
> Why risk a human life when you can just send a robot to the battlefield instead?

That's literally the point of the F35: to stealthily penetrate enemy airspace and act as a command and control combat platform for drones. It observes the battlefield with it's amazing "eye of god" sensory field, drones are sent into the battle space automatically where they are then taken control of by the pilot.
I really don't see it as a career choice thing, as much as a disposition thing. If you, for whatever reason, want nothing more than money and don't spend it that much, then you can pick from a set of arbitrary high paying fields, business, or investing strategies, and you'll drain yourself trying to get there because your self-worth is defined by your $$ worth.

I'm a software developer that can hypothetically bring in an above average salary, but the prospect of making that money doesn't trigger an intrinsic drive to do high-stress low-movement logic problems 10 hours a day for arbitrary advertising companies.

So my recommendation would be to watch a lot of Gary Vaynerchuk videos and then define your worth by how much money you have.

(this is only in jest in so much as it's obviously a way to later find that you live a hollow existence, but if you really think about who in your life has got rich by any other means than pure luck, this is probably them)
No. At least in my case it has nothing to do with disparity in experience or speed of thought and everything to do with being in my own physical space.
On the contrary, calling it out for what it is is the conversation that needs to be had. Frankly, I think he falls short of identifying the new secular religion that has taken over western civilization. You can identify its followers by the language they use. Anti-Maskers, Science Deniers, Conspiracy Theorists. All new-speak for what was once referred to as heretics. The religious drive is an instinct that humans never actually lost. They just found a new religion that better suits their modern sensibilities.

That's absolutely true, and it definitely matters when you're designing something that will see productive use for the benefit of the people paying for it, but it's not obvious that that's the case here.
“Hallway conversations” were literally the first point the GP made and the person you’re responding to correctly refuted that. They’re an anti-pattern, and if your company is benefiting from them, then they’ve failed in process, vision and culture. A successful company would not rely on such a thing.
FWIW, I read the word "should" to mean, well, "should", not "will"? I should eat better... but I don't :(.
None of those fighters can do super cruise for a useful amount of time with a combat load out.
To be honest I'd rather live in the world where people have an overabundance of care for each other rather than the world where people disregard the well-being of others entirely.

Of course it's not binary, and it shouldn't be binary... but comments like this are hellbent on making it that way. I understand why you feel this way, but the hyperbole doesn't help anyone.

This is great, and also good to encourage with people who are more junior. They might think they’ve explained the thing from their understanding but it’s trivial to omit details in that position too.

I’m by no means junior but I’m new on a team, and I’ve had to remember over and over that the giant blob of the state of everything is unfamiliar to me, familiar to my team, and when I elide details I’m not saving anyone any time because I’m not sure whether those details are relevant or even if they might reveal where I’m off track.
When you first run a new version of Blender a popup should ask if you want to use space for search. If you already made it past the welcome screen, the user preferences (keymap tab) has an easy toggle for changing the space bar behavior.
i disagree. having a set of rules and a domain expert that defines those rules is key. automation around enforcement and designing the system to make it as less painful as possible are also key.

you cannot just say: oh this is so complicated that we cannot possibly have a system for it and we have to rely on the people to do the “right thing”
I would expect more of that competitive advantage, too! Most people don't want to give up Working from home[1] and/or are only interested in "working" to collect a paycheck[2]. If the future because of in-office work mostly consists of ambitious people like yourself, opposed to the latter, then I'm actually more interested in joining. Thanks for the perspective.

That's not what "having" means.

"Supercruising" means flying supersonically for at least 20 minutes. In a fighter aircraft the salient requirement is often not the time that the plane can fly supersonically but the distance. The Mig-31 has a combat radius of 450 miles at Mach-2.35 and a top speed of Mach-2.85.

If you need a fighter to fly 500 km and engage a target, why wait 25 minutes for a super-cruising mach-1 fighter when a Mach-2.3 craft without super cruise can get there in 10 minutes?

It would be much nicer for the consumer to just de-dupe the keys in your json than to serve an annoying format like CSV. Your JSON could basically be a matrix with a header row, there's nothing forcing you to duplicate keys.

A WebWorker can free up the main thread so the UI doesn't grind to a halt. Unfortunately they might not help you here. Data in/out of the worker is string only[0], so the extra parsing/serializing usually ruins any perf benefit.

You can access indexedDB from the worker, though. So you load the DB from the main thread, then you can do the filtering from the worker. You could return indexes then fetch those from indexDB on the main thread.

None of this will help with parsing large strings though, you are probably stuck with doing that on the main thread. And it is also not going to reduce the total time to perform the work. But hopefully it will avoid pinning the main thread, because that is bad.

That is incorrect. They can all supercruise with an air-superiority loadout except possibly for the Gripen where we are not certain, for over 20 minutes.
What are you doing your job for if not to collect a paycheck?
Mixed WFH/office should be 100% voluntary or it isn't truly mixed.

If I can't decide, with zero notice to my employer, to spend a month living and working on the other side of the country, it's not mixed. Anything that requires I live in driving distance of my company's office is not mixed.

Mixed means the office is there if anyone wants to come in and work from the office, but if someone wants to spend every month living in a different state (or even a different country, but I understand there are tax issues with that) they can do that too.

Alternately, I would accept something like the way oil rigs work, where instead of "you work X days a week at the office", it's "you work X months of the year at the office". I might be able to tolerate working from the office 3 months out of every year in the office if I can spend the other 9 months as a digital nomad.

(one thing this pandemic made me want to do is to not take travel for granted... I want to see, if not the world, at least the rest of this country before I die, and I'll be damned if my employer gets in the way of that)
Also, even if we model the color space in some overly clever way, we are talking about a JPEG loader here. Its input is inevitably a bag of numbers, and a horribly underspecified one.
45 minutes means an hour and a half of your life every day that you don't get paid for and have to just throw away. (not only that but spending it doing one of the more dangerous things you can do in the US: driving.)

Our business is growing explosively: 900,000+ learners have taken more than over 7M class hours. We've more than quadrupled our team since the beginning of 2020 from 25 to 118 to keep up with growth. We’ve raised $130M since founding with most of that still in the bank. We’ve also been named Fast Company’s most innovative edtech company in the world and in the top ten best startups for women from Elpha. Plus we're making $1M of live online classes available for free to families in need and adding thousands of new teachers in weeks.

We are an effective team of fully remote engineers distributed across the US and Canada. Our philosophy is to start small and then intentionally iterate so we can test our assumptions and learn quickly. We're iteratively building up a complex product for a highly engaged audience, getting a lot done by staying focused on the work that matters.

We believe that the future of education is hybrid - online and in person. We are looking for engineers at a variety of experience levels who are excited about inspiring children to learn by building tools that allow children to access a fundamentally different learning experience. If you have over 2 years of experience we encourage you to apply. We value hands-on experience most of all.

The ability to "stealthily penetrate enemy airspace" is only temporary. As VHF radars improve and dual guidance missiles proliferate the F-35 will only be barely more stealthy than what came before it.

As it is right now Russian VHF radars can already guide dual-guidance missiles onto an F-35 close enough for them to detect the F-35 with their radars.

The Chinese and Russians have set up VHF radars in Syria and use them to observe Israeli F-35s every day too, so the fog of war in their favour.

The fact that stealth is only a temporary advantage has been known for a long time. It's part of the reason why the USSR decided not to pursue stealth aircraft development despite their lead on stealth design technology relative to the US - until the Soviet bureaucracy in it's classical ineptitude decided to declassify the algorithms they developed which Lockheed Martin happily adopted.
The F-22 is exclusive to the USA - it cannot be exported. The F-35 can and is sold to allies and friendlies however.

This should be all you need to know.
I suspect that many employers that are requiring their employees to return to the office for a few days a week are doing it to ease their transitions into a full return to the office.

From what I've seen from friends and family, some employees were told that after the pandemic, they were only going to return to the office when it was necessary for them to be there, then it was one day mandatory at the office, and now it's 3 or 4 days.

The outcome that I think most people will find themselves living with is employers going back to business as usual, and maybe some higher level employees will get to work from home a bit more often than they were able to before.
As a former Marine (07-12), yes, they do still teach basic land navigation using a map and compass.

However, the skills are not reinforced or even practiced really. It is not as easy to conduct EW against GPS as you would think, at least not military specific capabilities. There are contingencies and capabilities in place for that.

Bigger concern would be the GPS satellites being destroyed altogether.

Which is also why when you hear news reports about China or the US destroying their own satellites using ship launched missiles, the message intended to be conveyed is more than meets the eye.

Those demonstrations are really about telegraphing to adversaries what you can/would do in the event of a conflict.
Thank you language police for all that you do.
> The comments sections on these articles tend to receive a lot of projection from people who simply hate their jobs and view WFH as a partial antidote to that.

I would actually argue that this is backwards; I really like what I do for work, but I've found that the worst part of my job is dealing with office politics, constantly being interrupted, and (like you said) the commute/time commitment associated with being in the office.

At this point, it's an affront to be told that I can no longer do laundry during the day, finish chores in 10 minute periods between work, or spend the day with my family and/or in my private office in pajamas. Especially when it's just because a C-level somewhere in the branches of my company is feeling lonely and/or bored.

To say my love for remote work is a reflection of my job satisfaction is outright unfair; Life is simply better when I'm not subjected daily to the dreadful routine of going into the office.

Radiolab’s More Perfect series did one episode on the death penalty. I side with Gandalf against, but if we have a death penalty I feel we need to own it; no blanks in the firing squad, for example, and a matter-of-fact approach rather than some nonsense about reducing (visible) suffering.

We opted to legally kill our dog (still considered property?) at the veterinarian clinic by lethal injection. The dog seemed accepting enough, dying in contact with loving family, but I don’t know; maybe there’s a better and cheaper way?

Sigh. As the person who came up with for(of) I can say that's not the reason.

for(in) existed in JS, and the semantics were never going to be changed, that wasn't something that was on the table or was ever considered.

However other languages have syntaxes like:

for each (...)

foreach (...)

for ( .. : .. )

All of which would be more consistent and wouldn't require a non-reserved word be reserved in one context.

We couldn't use `foreach` or `for each` as they conflicted with e4x - one directly, the other by being sufficiently similar to not be plausible.

More depressingly for(:) was killed because of the zombie "typed JS" proposal.
At some point there's a functional mapping from key to indicia.

Releasing "lots of malware" either means a finite keyset, or a key-generation mechanism. At least as I see it.

> The majority of people just want to earn some money and do it as easily as possible.

That's true, and I don't blame anyone for that. However, I don't think one should expect to enjoy all of the benefits of an extremely high performing company (i.e., RSUs of great value, high pay, prestige, etc.) if they approach work in this way.

It sounds very entitled to say "I'm just here for the paycheck" but expect all of the benefits of working at a highly productive company with none of the commitments.
