> Nuclear power experts have warned that advanced reactors could have higher risks than conventional ones. Fuel for many advanced reactors would have to be enriched at a much higher rate than conventional fuel, meaning the fuel supply chain could be an attractive target for militants looking to create a crude nuclear weapon, a recent report said.

Natrium is enriched to 20% [1] This is far short of the necessary percentage for an actual weapon unless you are making a low yield "Dirty Bomb." In which case you would find it much easier to just make one using nuclear waste from a traditional reactor or a medical radiation source. Little boy required 80% U-235 which is about the minimum for an initiator in modern fusion weapons.

However 20% Uranium would be a boon to a weapons program because it would make it orders of magnitude easier to refine weapons grade uranium. Especially in power reactor quantities.

Not really, because the value of non-scare digital goods can be effectively zero. Look at public domain content for example; you can go to amazon and buy collections of 100 classic novels for two bucks, and that is just if you want the convenience of buying them at one stop as opposed from getting them for free from project gutenberg.

Eventually we might see values trend so low that it may not make sense to make digital goods at all; i think video games in particular will be vulnerable to this soon.
In the olden days you needed to do a engine overhaul at 100,000 km because the rings would be shot and it would be smoking.

Now I see 1990's Camry's and other cars happily @ 250,000 km without any major engine work.
Many of these exploits (certainly not all) have been used to catch child predators. I do not know of any case of a 0day being used against journalists or hackers from a NATO country.
I don't understand your point. Are you suggesting 'political correctness' - a relatively new term and phenomenon largely enabled by the internet - was something installed by society and is a good thing, and that a vote to 'dismantle' it would be a bad thing?
Isn't "prepaid credit card" an oxymoron?
Using CPU utilization as a performance metric can be extremely misleading. My favorite article on the subject is from Brendan Gregg:

A much better way to test the influence of the new compiler would be to test the actual throughput at which saturation is achieved (which is what the benchmark in the C++ grpc library measure to assess their performance).

One powerful effect of Lobsters tagging is that it limits the topics which are allowed in a very deliberate way. A story should be tagged `programming` at the least, because Lobsters is about programming. This helps make it more clear when something is news, politics, advertisements, or other off-topic content that doesn't relate to what we do.

Of course, there are tags like `meta` for discussing tags. There's also a recommendation system that allows users to suggest that a story be retagged. Posting a video or PDF causes the `video` or `pdf` tags to be automatically applied. It's a rich system, not just a many-to-many listing of labels.
It's worth $5 to join Brad Troemel's Patreon so you can watch his 40 minute NFT Report[0]. Brad is part of the crop of "post-internet" artists that emerged 10 years ago and participated in the failed Silicon Valley Art Fair. He has a lot of insights about the art world and how it operates that are opaque to most tech world people as well as the general public. The video gives a really good explanation of the nexus between collectors and museums in establishing value, and also how NFTs aren't really a new concept in the art world but a spin on an old one, since so much traditional art has been stored in freeports in recent years and is already bought and sold on the basis of a jpg and without taking physical possession.

This is true from an explanatory perspective but it still doesn't make it valuable or interesting.

The only art in any of this is the art of bilking money from morons who want to impress other morons.
Interesting that they also mention that you need to get your vehicle serviced at a Toyota dealership to extend your warranty up by a year each time (up to the 10yr).

I didn’t see it in the article, but I wonder if that includes getting all of the dealerships “suggested maintenance” if you want the warranty extension to apply. I’ve had lots of sketchy dealership overcharging experiences, and if you need 5 dealership service visits to get up to the full 10 years, I can see this “warranty” costing thousands of dollars in unnecessary/fake maintenance. I’m sure that there are good actors out there, at dealerships too, but it is easy to be abused.

This seems like a tactic to bring in more money, not one that Toyota is just doing for the sake of standing behind their products. Most cars can last beyond 10yr / 100k miles, so I don’t think this costs them much. But to get the dealerships to charge you $300 for a cabin air filter a few times will probably make them more than they lose.

Supersonic aircraft seem like the Erie Canal to me. A much lauded technology that gets beaten by an even newer technology.

All I'm saying is that the charge of "antisemitism" is too heavy and the author's post didn't sound that way to me, but since I'm not Jewish, I'm not going to press this point this further at the risk of sounding too insensitive or privileged.

If you'd like a Jewish perspective on this, here's a comment made by someone who claims to be Jewish that basically echoes my sentiments -- that the author of that blog post was naive and got carried away in his rhetoric, instead of being an actual antisemite: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27385448
For my personal use cases (visible or invisible) push messages are the major missing feature for replacing native with web apps. And I doubt it’s possible to do without platform support.

Twilio or other SMS based services aren’t a solution as in lots of countries they still cost $0.10 per 160 characters, require an active SIM card and cannot be opened into an app.

Maybe something can be done with websockets but that will also require platform support to improve battery life and allow web apps to run in the background.
This is the outcome of a legislative branch which can no longer legislate effectively. The courts have to "interpret" the laws into a sensible form of common law which minimizes the difference between the legislation, and practical governance concerns.

Interpreting the law in such a way as to make private policy makers the arbiters of felony charges is not compatible with our society. This would be the equivalent of a restaurant letting you in, asking you to take a seat, and then charging you with a felony for choosing the wrong seat as listed on a tiny sign in the back of the restaurant.
Their best victories look like things other people consider discriminatory against them ... The hope is that collectively they'll put enough people in enough positions of authority to be able to gradually diminish the constant throb of small injustices that collectively have brought about an overwhelming white maleness to all authority positions.

Well, thanks for admitting that diversity officers are just a massive power play by the hard left to take control of every institution by creating hatred of men and white people.

BTW, given almost the entire software industry now does use coding tests during interviews, you are seriously claiming everyone who does this is either sexist or lazy, with no other possibilities. Do you realize that this is how pro-diversity people end up getting such a bad name? You are willing to make sweeping accusations of sexism against entire industries.

There's no way to ever satisfy people like you except by literally giving women jobs to do nothing all day, just so you can say you have lots of women. These attitudes are so grotesque, so deeply morally wrong, that it will one day be you being cancelled for them.
Ok, but what you fail to recognize, is that the best way to do what you want, is for there to be 2 separate, independent states, controlled by each of their respective population.

A single state solution is not going to have good consequences.

"many institutions today still unfairly benefit white people."

When it comes to the criminal justice system, I'm mostly there with you. Although, it is wrong to call it pro-white, and the pro-white narrative comes from the ideology that I was criticizing. It is anti-black and anti-poor. The reason it is not merely pro-white is that the system treats Asians, Hindus, etc, well even though they're not white and even though there's not many officers from these demographics.

Beyond that, I struggle to believe it, but perhaps you can fill me in if I'm missing something.

As an example, in what way are institutions biased in favor of poor rural white people?

Their entire culture hates them (music, movies, media) and they are quotad out of universities and flashy career paths. To add salt on the wound their manufacturing jobs are shipped overseas.

This reality on the ground is the near opposite of any kind of institutional privilege of the sort you're talking about. In some cases (e.g soft quotas) this is demonstrable institutional racism working against white people.
If you're taking the position that the actions of some people who follow some version of a religion to be defining for it, every religion is the religion of war, including atheism.

At that point, it's not a very interesting statement
Tried iridium same problem.
We use TeamCity here as well. Pretty limited in the options we have since we have most of our stuff in Perforce.

I definitely prefer TC over Jenkins though. The Jetbrains support for TC is also really good and they have been helpful whenever we contacted them or opened an issue on their public tracker.

> is presenting "Cocoa Touch apps" as a new idea?

Cocoa Touch apps wasn't a new idea, since that's what all of the Apple-developed native iPhone apps used. What's new to this email is getting approval for enabling 3rd parties to write & release them without jailbreaking your phone.
Java's GC is better but Go's GC is also parallel and "pauseless" - iirc ZGC is 50-500usec which is comparable to Go's target 200usec.

The point is, neither is "five orders of magnitude" below 20ms. And neither needs zero CPU even if it doesn't block other threads.
There's no JIT for WebAssembly on iOS (at least last time I looked last year), so it's going to be much slower than it could otherwise be.
Maybe a little dramatic, but I think the entirety of modern art is an argument that nobody should be obligated to respect another person's belief or culture on principle. Some people's idea of taste, value, beauty, or what is interesting is just simply moronic and not worthy of respect. Where you draw the line is up to you but there's gotta be a line.
While VW/Audi goes absolutely bezonkers and then your car spends extended periods in the workshop because the engine had a major design flaw and killed itself (1.4L TSI Twincharger which was discontinued quickly).
I'll note that Cloudbees offers commercial support for Jenkins. Having said that, I had a former employer that was a Cloudbees customer and the support we got was typically "Have you tried turning it off and back on?" That drove us back to OSS Jenkins. Although, AIUI, said employer has now moved to Harness.

Use something similar to this (gather.town) just this week for a virtual conference. You can walk right up to people in the expo and start video chatting etc... Seems like a good use-case for this.

Not quite like being there, but pretty fun.
But well, people can just latch on to other irrational beliefs, like the belief of the existence of a pedophile ring that steals elections. It's a fantasy they're convinced is true.

Religion has a convenience that it's an alternative that can be seen as pure. Alternatively you can brainwash people to "fight" for their country, or their race. Like the people "fighting" for Trump who've convinced themselves that they're the patriots fighting against the country being stolen by the Chinese, or pedophiles...

GitHub Actions and GitLab.

I personally found both of those to be paradigm shifts (I went from Hudson to Jenkins to Travis CI to GitLab to GitHub Actions). Travis CI introduced self-serve test infrastructure configuration-as-code, GitLab introduced composability and API integration, GHA introduced many more API features (like various kinds of event sources) and better composability. Each transition also took more hosting headaches and compatibility issues off my hands.
But the point is that they are an expert, and you are not, and therefore they know much more about the subject than you do.

As they are literally an expert, who, literally knows more about the issue than you.

Perl 6 was released in 2015. So that would be very confusing.

What do you think Python would've been like had it never happened? I feel like Python is a success by any measure - especially considering it could've easily been replaced by javascript in a lot of cases without a whole lot of effort. I'm sure it kept it back to some extent, especially in the short term... but now it's thriving, and without some of the legacy stuff that would've turned off some people (e.g. handling of unicode strings).
Bah, young whippersnappers.
"Do you agree that in these cases, just having adequate laws would make a blockchain useless?"

Yes. There are jurisdictions where there is no prospect of this, but the answer to your question is yes.

"Isn't that a company"

Yes.

"as soon as you have something resembling trademark law you can have such a label, even if it's designed by a private association of producers"

Appellation d'origine contrôlée does not show chain of custody, so it's easily copied. But it may be possible to project a registry into low-rule-of-law regions without rule of law.

"Just think about the few comments you wrote in this thread, and what you wish would exist in terms of registries, "synthetic state", and so on. How does removing "blockchain" from this equation What I am proposing is significantly different. make any of what you wrote impossible or even slightly harder?"

Will do.

An attraction of a non-blockchain solution - it is so much easier to write robust code: put an API around a central server, write good acceptance tests.
If that is the line of thinking, that certain races are naturally predisposed to playing basketball, then I could see why Google took issue with insiuating that certain genders are naturally predisposed to be engineers.
The captive customer base could be really powerful. My wife and I took our first trip in our ID4 last weekend, which includes free charging at the ElectrifyAmerica stations for 3 years. Several of our stops were at Walmarts, and we'd go in and buy a few things we needed because we were there already waiting for the car to charge. It was the most time I'd spent in a Walmart in years

Fascinating article. I had not heard of this proposed 5th century social upheaval in England before. I wonder if this could explain the apparent disappearance of the Britons from most of the island and their replacement by Anglo-Saxons. Old English has very, very few recorded British (Celtic) loanwords which is inconsistent with a conquering people having assimilated another. Yet, no mass graves sufficient for the Britons to have been slaughtered have been found.

I will likely have to get the full book.

This is what I imagine experienced clojure developers can squeeze out of a language like clojure. I would venture that they can train a junior programmer in a couple of weeks, and make them productive very fast.

I guess they could make it work in any language but judging by the description clojure is indeed a great fit, due to the macro capabilities, flexibility and solid runtime via JVM.
Since everybody seems to be hating on jenkins so much, I'll speak up. IMO jenkins is one of the most valuable tools at any startup and every good engineer uses either jenkins or something very similar.

There's no comparison between managed/logged/permissioned/distributed jobs that jenkins provides for free vs building an overwrought service or an insufficient crontab. However it's a power-tool and I think a lot of people go in expecting something dead-simple and pretty and are put off by something that they need to invest in learning.

Just for example, in 2 days I built an uptime checker that ran every 60-seconds via jenkins and triggered slack alarms/sms on problem, and it just worked (< 2 days total maintenance), for years. An equivalent service (Pingdom) quoted 10k a year.
1000%.

Apple created the most anti-developer, anti-computing protection racket our industry has ever seen. They captured 50% of all American consumer computing and won't let you have a relationship with your customer, won't let you bill your customer without extracting obscene margin, make you jump through weird hoops, won't let you deploy at your cadence, and won't let you write software the way you want.

This shouldn't have been allowed to happen. The closed nature of the platform is abnormal and has been anticompetitive from the start, and the DOJ fell asleep at the wheel.

iPhone computing is general purpose computing and commerce. It's not video game toys.

All platforms like this should be open like Microsoft Windows.

Make no question. Apple's stance is about capturing every ingress to American consumers they possibly can so that they can tax it.

They're fleecing American companies.

DOJ has one action to take: Force Apple and Google to allow web-based installs of any software (including non-Safari web browsers!) and prevent both companies from running any form of required payment gateway.

Unfortunately Google only give me crappy results I can get you a link for reference.
I'm confused, what forces are preventing dealerships from selling teslas? Is he saying it's just illegal as a whole to sell Tesla cars as a dealership in South Carolina? Or is he saying Dealerships in South Carolina for whatever reason refuse to sell Teslas, and because of the law that says manufacturing and dealing must remain separate entities, Tesla cannot overpower this and just sell cars directly in the state of South Carolina?

I'd like to hear the thoughts on this of people who are arguing with me in another thread that "Apple planned for web apps to be the only apps for the iPhone until they just happened to come up with the idea for the store full of native apps".

Honestly, if you believe that Apple ever planned for iPhone to be web only you've got to buy this bridge from me. No kidding.

Apple used the "web only apps" angle as a stopgap until their SDK was ready. Then they did everything they could to ensure that web apps ran like crap without making it too obvious.
