I've sat this out for long time, but I've got to say that it's hilarious watching the HN community—mostly made up of engineers—constantly harp about the replication crisis in Psychology.

In some cases effect may be real even though the studies aren't replicating today. There are several factors.

Replication in psychology isn't as easy as in the physical sciences.

Let me use an example from another field to give you an idea. If I asked you to translate the sentence: "He took the train for London at eight am." into French, would you translate "London" as "London" or as "Paris?"

In other words the social context—social norms, expectations, attitudes—from when many of these studies which don't replicate today has shifted, such that re-running the study verbatim might fail to...replicate.

However say you do try to adapt the study to adjust for the shift in context, then you could also say that the replication isn't valid because you didn't re-run the study exactly as specified.

People aren't robots, so we can just re-run the unit tests on them and expect the exact same results. People aren't even self contained robots, we are social beings, and are very strongly affected by our peers. We aren't swimming in the same water that we were swimming in when these studies were done.

We need new studies for each of these effects that are designed with today's reality in mind. But. No matter how one tries to 'replicate' an old psychology result, it will leave room for skepticism. It just won't be able to account for the 'translation' required without leaving room for doubt.

I guess the most important thing we could learn from this is that it's important to replicate any current studies right now, and not wait forty years to do so.
It's almost as if a manager or engineer shouldn't manage the overall finances of a company or department... Gee, I wonder if there's a job title or something like that that could manage finances like this?

Real talk: Just hire people. The US especially has a huge amount of college educated people who struggle to find a job that matches their chosen education. If you can't find someone that matches the exact profile, pay for an education and training. As a company, don't accept just winging it - especially not if you have enough money.
This guy totally has it. I think you solved that! Janet (JanAm?)...it's got to be the most likely explanation. It would be cool if there was an underground railway, tho. Thanks! ;p ;) xx
>that coal vs nuclear economic calculation doesn't account for the costs of warming, nor for the intended electrification that abundant nuclear power was supposed to enable.

Even ignoring warming, coal externalizes a huge cost in the form of local pollution and its effects on health and destruction of natural resources.
The muckrakers were reform-minded journalists in the Progressive Era in the United States (1890s–1920s) who exposed established institutions and leaders as corrupt.

DISCLAIMER: I'm a graphic artist / cartoonist, who has dabbled in posting a few NFTs on OpenSea and sold absolutely nothing, even when I've pitched pieces at the equivalent of £10 or £20. So my comments are most likely flavoured with a healthy pinch of 'begrudgery'.

What I can't understand about the NFTs that seem hugely popular [Crypto Punks being a fine example] is that:

A: There is often little or no artistic talent involved in making them. I mean Crypto Punks are just sub- 1980s Sinclair Spectrum level pixel art

B: The collections are huge [10.000 for Crypto Punks, I've read]. So where's the exclusivity in owning one?

C: Such huge collections cannot be hand-made so are obviously churned out by some automated computer process. So where does the feeling you own a piece of 'art' created by an 'artist' come in?

Yet Crypto Punks and their ilk sell in massive numbers for insane amounts of [albeit virtual] money. Whilst actual real artwork, produced individually [as opposed to being spat out by an automated script] by real talented artists [and yes, I do modestly include myself in that number!] garner nor interest whatsoever.
But all the lost internet points...
Do you know off the top of your head how to insulate, fit out and make a homely place to live out of a "garden shed"?

can you communicate that to a wide audience, in an engaging way, in a second language? no?

But I was talking about the "premiums" for not being the main account. Not the negative interest for having a large amount. If N26 and all the alternatives allow up to 50k with no negative interest, then the problem from the intial comment can be solved

It would be nice to have another long feature freeze with languages adding features on top of JavaScript again. That seemed like a great way for ideas to stew for a while - I went from 'oh finally' on new JS features to 'oh ok'
So, this, but with more steps?

function Foo () {
var x = 1 // "static initialization block"
return {
y: 2,
z: function () { return x + y }
}
}
const foo = Foo()

There's been exactly zero need for the "class" keyword, "constructor()", or that new "#private" thing.

There is one flaw in the design of the language which opens the door to all this nonsense; that's having to write "foo.method.bind(foo)" instead of just "foo.method" when passing "method" as a callback, in order to preserve the value of "this". Although in the example above this is not a problem, as you can write functional code that passes the context explicitly without needing "this".

Another thing I wish JavaScript had kept was the "with" statement.

The answer to fewer people being able to serve a larger market is greater specialization.

It's the flip side of facing greater competition due to producers having greater reach; whereas in the past a highly specialized provider, like a yoga-kung-fu fusion aerobics instructor, could only find, let's say, three customers, due to the addressable market being limited to people living in their city, remote service could allow them to find the several hundred potential clients for this service scattered across the world.

Associated Press did an analysis of the data. The CDC won't give numbers because the figures we have are patchy, good for some states and poor or non existent from others, so they can't calculate population wide figures. The AP just looked at the most comprehensive figures we have for those areas that do have strong reporting.

This is also consistent with figures from the UK that keeps much more comprehensive and consistent records, because it has a unified national health infrastructure, as well as much higher vaccination rates.

It does, but they aren't expressions like you're suggesting. They only thing they do is limit the scope of variable defined inside them (assuming let or const are used. var is not effected). There is a proposal for this under the name "do expressions" because the proposed syntax is like this:

foo: do {
const f = 1;
f
}

(because a plain block would be ambiguous with object literal syntax in some cases).
What about taxpayers who are sick of bailing them out?

In Illinois, we have multiple nuclear plants that deliver a large % of our energy. Taxpayers have also had to bail out the nuclear companies because they cannot manage their plants. There is currently another bailout bill being discussed. [1]

Are “massive corporate bailouts” preferred to “massive government expansion”?

Is it possible that, in practice, nuclear isn’t the silver bullet people on HN claim?

Windrush is not besides the point, because the UK government tried to repeat the same exercise with EU citizens. They even went as far as sending deportation letters to hundreds of random EU citizens, including doctors, university researchers, journalists and professionals (ie people with enough influence to get the attention of the press and with enough money to pay for a lawyer https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/aug/23/home-office...).

I applied for the permanent resident status before the EU forced the UK to introduce the Settlement Scheme and I ended up sending kilograms of documentation to prove that I had lived in the UK for the previous 5 years. I could easily collect these documents because I only worked in FTSE companies, but my partner couldn’t because she worked for smaller firms that ceased activity and couldn’t provide reference letters. The process was clearly designed to prevent people from getting ILR, even if they had a right to it.
I agree it's possible in principle to ride a bike without the handlebars (have done this myself on many occasions, including motorbikes), but more dynamic maneuvers do require use of the bars (e.g. swerving to avoid an obstacle).

Sudden maneuvers are an essential survival skill on two wheels, and it's important to understand how to steer rapidly. A rider who just steers intuitively is vulnerable to a phenomenon known as "target fixation": becoming mentally focused on an obstacle and steering into it. Having a rational understanding of how to steer allows the rider to exert conscious control over the bike's direction in these situations.
Nice little house!
I did exactly the same, with the same costs, and lived there happily for several years during my studies at University. It was a great time and a good place for a single young man with a dog.

I used a wood burning bath stove with a 100 liter copper tank to store heat for the night. It worked great. The 100 liter of water kept heat for many hours and the tank surface radiated it slowly into the room. This was much more convenient than a simple wood stove. I had only to add wood one time per day in autumn and two times per day in winter.
Tips for Creating a Live Stream That Every Live Streamer Should Know
> You could argue, OK, epidemiology isn't a hard science. Maybe it's actually a social science. But at some point it becomes tautological and the definition of "hard" science simply becomes any science in which you aren't personally familiar with the disputes.

The examples given by the OP were: "astrophysics, philosophy of mathematics, molecular biology, quantum physics etc".
> It easily gets glorified as a smart and cheap way of living

Probably because it is? Have you tried buying a real house in any western country recently? Unless you’re already a milionaire it’s damn near impossible to find anything at a reasonable price.

The taxes are not the problem. The initial cost is.
What Can Europe Learn from TSMC’s Partnership with Japan?
Normally I would say that the difference isn't that great, but Windows 11 does seem to be something that you want people to stay away from, and knowing how Windows 10 was promoted - people will eventually be forced to install it. Just like Apple users are forced to install things, only to have their machine stop working well.

Why deal with that? No thanks.
The code change on GitHub: https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/56bc0efbd80da2ff595e44...
My mother-in-law has a computer which she uses to play card games and surf the web. Some family members kept installing trash on it, sometimes with malware. I proposed we switch to Linux so that they wouldn't manage to install anything on it.

We tried Ubuntu and it has been a tremendous success. I even found my sister-in-law happily using LibreOffice on it one day.

People's reservations towards Linux are completely unfounded (nowadays).
> where 100% would be the same time as the Firestorm core, and 200% would be twice that time.

I wish more articles would explicitly call this out. I've seen 100% used to mean 100% MORE more than a few times ...
Well, "(erroneously) handled by an intermediate handler" is a tricky situation: would it be really handled incorrectly?

Another question is ergonomics. It's trivial (but tedious) to write code like this:

class Foo {
// ...

public void Frob(...) throws FooException {
try {
// ...
}
catch (Exception e) {
throw new FooException(e);
}
}

public void Blarg(...) throws FooException {
try {
// ...
}
catch (Exception e) {
throw new FooException(e);
}
}
}

which is actually a "best practice" already ("annotate inner exceptions with some high-level context and wrap them in high-level exceptions") — and adhering to it makes your proposition completely extraneous, because nothing can throw an UnknownException ever.

And in before "don't catch and wrap Exception!", consider that Foo maybe parameterized by some dependency that may be implemented as a network service, or a disk file, or a DB: three different implementations will throw completely different exceptions: FileNotFound vs NetworkConnectionClosed vs OdbcInvalidManufaturer. Either dependency interface allows implementations to throw any of those (so that the user of Foo, who knows which implementation it specified, can handle those), or it makes them to wrap them all into DepException, but then, again, this means that Foo's methods will catch-wrap-rethrow DepExceptions instead of just Exceptions.

A warmth appeal like a Coke ad with smiling faces will reliably create an association between Coke and positive emotions just because that's how humans are wired. If you activate two concepts together, you link them.

I don’t think that part is a tautology; it’s a specific theory, once thought to be very generally true, now thought to be possibly-partly true.

I’m inclined to agree with the article, that it’s overly simplistic. People aren’t 100% rational, sure, but they also aren’t quite as trivially swayed as that theory assumes.

> That just leaves very determined, educated terrorists trying to harvest the fuel for radiotoxins or a dirty bomb. There are probably less convoluted ways to cause mass death and destruction than that, but "radioactive" and "fallout" are certainly more terrifying than "gunman" "bomb" or "poison" even if the actual damage is likely much lower.

Really, look at that Goiania incident. 93 grams (3.3 oz, less than half the weight of an average smartphone) of radioactive material found by some scavengers who dragged it around the city.

Result: 4 people dead. 249 contaminated of which many with health issues. More than $100 million in cleanup. It was one of the worst radiological incidents.

Now imagine having this kind of material available in every house...

There'd also be massive proliferation of nuclear waste which may or may not be processed and stored correctly.
I hope they all install Linux. Supporting Linux on the desktop is absolute hell.
> And to be clear, Non-Free licenses like Mongo's that often come up during these debates do nothing to prevent people from being herded towards the cloud

Yes they do, but to understand why you have to look at the software economy from a whole-system point of view and pay particular attention to incentives. It's that if the only way to make money in software is cloud SaaS, that's where all the incentives flow and that's where the center of gravity goes.

This is a whole-system incentives problem. Right now virtually all the incentives in software are tilted toward SaaS, cloud lock-in, and surveillance, because the other competing business model of pay-for-software has been destroyed.

Mongo is also a bad example since as you point out it's software designed almost exclusively for use by cloud services. Things have gone so far down the road it's hard for me to think of good examples. The best I can do is Steam, but that's not really a great example either. It's closer than MongoDB.
I personally have language fatigue after playing with various languages over two decades.

The thing I hate about rust is abbreviated keywords like “fn” and “mut” because it sounds like fricken mutt. A function is a function not a fn, and is it really so hard to type “mutable”?

There’s more important things in life to worry about than rewriting codebases in language Z.
> they use COLA adjustment to pay 2 different wages in 2 different places

Except they then make the same profit in both markets.

Take for example the cloud market: VM pricing is mostly the same in the us or Europe or Asia. Same for non-vm prices.

>I actively avoid classes in JS

JS has things like String,Number,Date why not use classes to create your own stuff (say Customer,Product, Transaction) and have your pure functions operate and return well defined objects - for sure it helps with readability and maintainability.
Yes, but it should be contextualized. The replication crisis is present in many fields other than psychology. For example in ML and Computer Science, where most "findings" aren't verified empirically at all.
I think their argument is more that the economics are heavily centralized in nuclear so it resists government intervention.

I do not understand this standpoint. I am an engineer myself and when I compare two numbers I calculate both numbers and not just wave my hands.

I guess every language comes with its negative connotations. I've heard languages like python and lua referred to as "baby's first language" because they're compartively easy to start out with, C and C++ being for the kind of people who like to talk about how they use it more than they actually use it, the list goes on.

And of course all of them will fight over the specifics (in the case of python, I've been guilty of this when it comes to tabs vs spaces).

Check the sibling comments, your CPU (like most mobile Intel/AMd) can be configured for different TDPs by the OEMs, so you can't compare anything, especially not PassMark results.

nm might be a marketing term, but it's sure as hell meaningful. This goes double here as we're comparing between TSMC 7nm and TSMC 5nm, of which the latter is definitively superior in power efficiency.

Similarly, benchmarking is a core component of CPU evaluation, allowing for isolated (and combined) analysis of the CPU's performance characteristics.

Handwaving both of these away is extremely misleading.
It's possible the plants had to be bailed out because the industry is 'sickly' and survives on subsidies, or is choked by regulations, and so cannot find a robust equilibrium via a more free market.

I guess from that point of view, if you want to make nuclear work as power, then take your hands off, and let people make money off it, but have enough of a structure there to protect the population. I guess it's not easy, but it's probably easier than everyone thinks.
