I'm not an nuclear engineer, but I bet it would be easier to deploy more nuclear energy with a many smaller reactor.

Pro: smaller reactors would be faster to build, as conventional nuclear reactors are large and often use specific techs. They would be built in higher quantities than larger reactors and thus allow more nuclear power generation.

Con: economies of scale might mean it generates less electricity overall.
This is great and I hadn’t seen it before, so thank you rahimiali for reposting!

I found this comment from the 2014 thread interesting (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8346265):

First off, advertisements definitely do work via simple association. Humans use liking as a heuristic for virtually all decisions (we decide in favor of things we like), so increasing liking increases purchases fairly reliably. 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. This is just how humans work and is the basis of most of cognitive psychology. Many, many things make sense once you start to see things in terms of co-activation and priming.

I think the article has aged much better than that comment, given the recent replication crisis in science. Unless I’m misunderstanding, much of the published research into priming and the like has turned out to be heavily exaggerated.

The article’s theory of cultural imprinting nicely explains why advertisers pay a premium for Superbowl ads. Unless you assume that not only consumers, but advertisers are highly irrational...!
No one stole the property. She still owns it. She can still sell them.

You're saying these people are going to be without creature comforts if they're evicted, where most of these people are going to be living on the street. Should they do this, so that this landlord can avoid selling a building?
> Dragons are much bigger, stronger and more awe-inspiring than unicorns. They destroy whatever's in their path, and their own destruction is viewed as catastrophic

Widespread destruction and catastrophe? Yep.. fitting terminology. Only when does awe-inspiring turn to frightening?
Console manufacturers don't want consoles to be usable for general-purpose computing (e.g. web servers and supercomputers), because they're selling at below commodity prices (as a loss-leader) and making them usable for G-P C would just cause everyone to buy them until they raised in price to commodity levels.

This has happened previously, with PS3's OtherOS feature, so it's a very real concern.
They ruled that the executive branch doesn't have this power, and that congress should pass legislation. They didn't say the government doesn't have this power, just that the wrong branch used it.

This 2018 talk from Dr Yapko, "Keys to unlock depression: Why skills work better than pills" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVgQ_tgWMyU - suggests a multidimensional viewpoint rather than purely biological. He says the causes are:

1. Biological. He says "Yes, biology matters, but surprisingly not as much as you would think, that when we look at what’s termed genetic variance, how much do genes play a role in depression? Is there a depression gene? No. Are there genes that make people vulnerable to depression? Definitely. So if we look at biochemistry, yes it’s a factor. If we look at disease processes, there are many diseases where depression is a predictable consequence. If we look at drugs, there are many drugs that have depression as a predictable side effect. Biology matters, but when we look at genetic variance, that figure is between .3 and .4. That represents a mild, moderate at best, genetic influence."

2. Psychological. In particular what is known as "Attributional/Explanatory style" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explanatory_style), i.e. the person's habitual or reflexive way of attaching meaning to life events. He says "It isn't what happens to people that increases their risk for depression so much as how they interpret and respond to what happens to them."

3. Social

At the end, he says "the goal is not to cure depression, the goal is to learn how to manage your mood. You don't exercise once and now you're done with the exercise thing."
France doesn't have the cheapest power in Europe. Even for non-households, they are beaten by a large margin by the likes of Denmark - where wind is the biggest source of generation. And household consumers pay pretty much the average European price for electricity. [1]

If you want to look at France, google the most recent French attempt to add nuclear capacity - Flamanville 3. It's 15 years late and nearly 6 times over budget and still not operational.

While as part of SASS nesting is a marvelous feature I am an absolute fan of, I can’t help but see this as yet another step in the direction of making new and varied browsers even more impossible to implement. I rather like the “unixy” route of having SASS handle the complexity of understanding nesting and having a simpler browser consume plain flat CSS.
After enjoying Sapolsky's lectures on YouTube (including this one) I began reading his book Behave. I was surprised to see that it refers to theories that fail to replicate (eg priming) as if they were solid theories. Stuart Richie (a psychologist who wrote a book on the replication crisis) enumerates other examples in his review https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/rules-of-behaviour/

Please be wary of this failure to drop unreplicated findings when reading Sapolsky's works.
take the first line/vector, then just call that line/vector "first-new-dimension".

Then take the second line/vector, and decide that this vector can be written as a 2-dimensional vector made out of "first-new-dimension" and "second-new-dimension", now you just have to figure out what "second-new-dimension" is.

A simple trick would be to measure the length of the line, and then add/remove a multiple of the first dimension until the length of the line becomes as short as possible, this new line is your "second-new-dimension".

Now, even if you are working with a 10-dimensional space, you have two lines that only exist in the first two (new) dimensions, so, you can treat them as two-dimensional objects and find an angle using your old 2-dimensional methods.
This is it. I came to the same conclusion and my experience with Linux (in my case, plain Ubuntu) is painless!
Brexit was an absolute tragedy for my family.

Immediately after the referendum was lost, my children and wife started to experience a level of racially motivated abuse that we had not seen before.

This reached a level where my wife felt she could no longer remain in the country and arranged for us to relocate as a family to mainland Europe.

The move was not kind for me, and soon after I arrived I had a breakdown and our marriage fell apart. I'm now back in the UK, but the place seems strangely unfamiliar and hostile to me; and whilst I am still able to work, all the joy, happiness and hope seems to have drained from this land.
These aren't strict "conversions" but usually recompressions in a lossy format, which reduces the quality slightly.

It also takes time and compute.

I think if you do this more than a few times, it is worth buying the speed editor hardware (which comes with a pro license) for $300.
How well can it be repaired?

To be completely honest, the framework laptop makes me realize I'd rather buy a laptop that can be repaired rather than a linux laptop...
Prepare a rootfs for ARM64 system. chroot into it and emulate every binary with qemu-user. Now replace gcc etc with one configured as cross-compiler, but still point its sysroot to the usual path (/usr/...).

This is equivalent to building a x86-to-aarch64 cross-compiler and point the sysroot to a ARM64 rootfs, but more intuitive to users unfamiliar with cross toolchains, and more friendly to those mad configure scripts which insist on assuming host = target and detect everything automatically.
It cannot be forced to enter, no. It could be executed in capability mode, though, except you would have to give up dynamic linking, for obvious reasons.

As for granting new capabilities - you can pass capabilities from the outside; otherwise the whole mechanism would make no sense :-) In Capsicum case, capabilities are file descriptors, and you pass them the usual way, over Unix sockets.

Immigration was not the main reason of voting Brexit. UKIP is not 51% of the UK electorate. I am surprised to see that, years after that vote, there are still gross misinformation circulating around it.
Not entirely true. The model can extract image information from the pixels a human might not be able to see. Like how you can enhance the colors in a video of a face in a way that it pulses red with your heartbeat. The information about your heartbeat was there all along, our eyes were just not able to extract / recognize it.
If it wasn't, then why did the Brexit referendum unleash such a torrent of racist abuse?
Quote: "Cross-building is possible but requires extra steps, so just use the platform you're running on to avoid errors"

Meanwhile in Delphi you just select the target OS from the list of supported OS'es and just "build and deploy". Why is that every single other IDE that I've tested it's an adventure to create cross-building, to the point where you need to give blood from your fingers to the God of that OS before you finally make a good build.
That ship has long sailed. Nesting is inconsequential at this point.

A thing I invested in (by working less and cutting expenses) while in my 20s was to plow through a good swath of western (and other) literature, both fiction and non-fiction. Reading forces you to build and hold a construct of the author’s thinking inside your own head. It’s as close as you can get to living other lives and feeling how other people understand, experience and deal with the up-down-sideways of life.

How many books? Which ones? Many. All sorts. Try to get recommendations. Try not to reach conclusions too soon. It takes a critical mass, false starts, dead ends, unexpected journeys, trial and error.

Not a substitute for therapy, but definitely synergistic.
I'm so sorry to hear this, you have my sympathy. It didn't happen to me, but I can see how it could.

I hope you find a good way forward, good luck.
The big difference is that the imprinting mechanism favours widely shared experiences (like prime time broadcasting) over targeted advertising.

I suppose the ultimate combination would be targeted advertising inserted into broadcast streams, to fool you into thinking it’s a shared experience. That already happens with the sideline billboards at big sporting events.

Currently a Londoner and having to go through fewer hoops to move to the continent, albeit more than before.

There are multiple routes to UK Visas and I have recently discussed with an acquaintance about bringing a business from elsewhere to the UK.

The problem, as cited in the article, is that the decision maker may simply Google for similar services and products and refuse. (Source: immigration lawyer I know - https://tom-bradford.com/innovator-and-start-up-using-an-exi...)

So it's easier for me to move myself and entire family abroad (TONS of hassle, Brexit or not, what with housing, schools, movers) to go to where the business is than for the business to move here (previously no hassle).

A mess. We're an ISLAND for goodness' sakes. How do you think people got here?
If I wanted to build a RPi based system that has good support for bluetooth, audio (ALSA) and wifi, with fast boot times, what would be the most sensible route? Alpine or Buildroot? What are the advantages and drawbacks of them?
Actually, no. The other option is that the court forces Apple to not do that, and fines them billions of dollars if they refuse.

South Korea is already doing significant laws that are at least related to this conversation.

I expect more countries to pass similar laws soon.
More like 'mission failed successfully' for the Tech sector in the UK.

Many UK tech startups are getting acquired in all directions and the Big Tech companies in the US continue to open more offices in the UK. The biggest casualty of Brexit in the UK tech industry was ARM.

The competition for UK tech startups to hire away talent from the big tech companies has become close to impossible. I don't think we are going to see a 'Google' in the UK anytime soon if this continues.
The UK Home Office has long had a 'hostile environment' [1] policy so what's changed is essentially its extension to a wider group of people (EU nationals).

When you combine this approach with administrative incompetence (eg but not limited to Windrush [2] where people who legally had the right to stay were deported to countries where they had never lived as adults) you get some very unpleasant situations indeed.

Not surprising at all that all this deters people from moving to the UK.

As a European, I find it quite amusing that religion is so central to american culture, that they even figured out a way to make a christian version of atheism.
So what was the main reason?
Absolutely. Without private property rights, society would fall apart. And though it's doubtful most people would be homeless - most people have friends and family, after all (unless they have alienated then by suggesting their property be confiscated or subject to some form of squatting)

It would be better for those tenants to direct their ire towards the government that made such blatantly unconstitutional laws, rather than attempt to steal goods or services from innocent parties. And this includes essentially forcing one to sell one's possessions as a result of the (very predictable) side effects of said unconstitutional edicts.

> Fractional scaling in Sway doesn’t degrade quality in any way in Wayland windows: it leaves the scaling to the app to execute, and I haven’t come across a single app getting it wrong.

Funny you say that considering Firefox goes haywire if you use it on Sway with fractional scaling.

Other Qt apps like Qterminal are also not able to show tooltips normally if you enable scaling. Some Qt apps which I absolutely adore like Spectacle and Gwenview don't work at all though this might be a different issue.

> But then there’s anything still using X11: without the high-DPI patches, XWayland renders at 1× and scales it up so that it’ll look bad for any scale higher than one, whether fractional or integral. With the patches, you get to decide what to do.

The unofficial XWayland HiDPI patches? Yeah, I'm not gonna use them if they're official. It's a pain to compile and build complex packages like these. The AUR is fine for small and casual packages with a few dependencies but nothing complex, I feel.
Depends what state you are in from what I've seen in news reports. States that failed on COVID have lost their freedoms (quarantine/lockdown) since the hospital system is under strain. If you are in 5 of the 7 states (not NSW/ACT, VIC you probably have the most freedoms out of many developed countries right now.

Its a tale of two opposing extremes.
That's by design, border control was a selling point of Brexit, as brexiters saw only the bad side of immigration. Which to be fair, is no seamless nor without challenges or cost.

I suppose the rational is:

• Diminish the friction that multi-culturalism and diversity integration can bring.

• Free jobs for the local population.

• Having to share less of lands, resources, and infrastructures.

And I see the point, but it also fails to take in consideration that:

• The UK needs the import/export flow it was used to pre-brexit to keep their current life style. They don't produce much good internally, and they need to export their service. Brexit added huge barriers to that, not just for people.

• The current British population doesn't seem very motivated to take back the jobs they delegated to immigration.

• Even if it were, it can't be instant, since that requires training an entire workforce and sometimes even require permits or certification. Trucks, bus and cabs come to mind. And the inertia will do some damage. The supply chain is already seen glitches, although not as much as I would have expected. They are surprisingly pretty resilient.

• The Northern Ireland situation is a ticking bomb. Yeah, immigrates are not just brown people. People have a short memory though, so I suppose IRA stands for nothing nowadays. They may get a nasty reminder that ignored history is doomed to be repeated.

• Scotland nationalism has been exacerbated since they were pretty anti-brexit. Also, as an immigrant, scots were pretty welcoming, they need people there.

• Big players that needed to stay in Europe are sometimes moving to France or Ireland. So the promised jobs have to take that in consideration.

• The UK has an aging population, with a 0.53% growth rate, and that was when compensated by immigration.

• The UK education system sucks. People think Oxford and Cambridge, but the reality is more Leeds Metropolitan. I've studied there, and it's not going to be easy to find qualified workers only in the island.

• The UK managed to negotiate a very privileged deal inside the UE. It had most of the advantages, and way less of the down sides that other members. This deal is dead now, they have the worst of all worlds. So even if they get some benefits, the cost may be huge.

• France and the UK never really liked each other. The UE brings peace. But now, all bets are off. Also, no more bonding program such as Erasmus to bring future generation together. And good luck to make you BSC valued outside of the UK. And I guarantee the already little patience we had for the retired brits in the South of France that never try to learn proper France will not hold forever now that we are not bros.

• All that in the middle of covid. Not their fault, but damn, that's a terrible timing.
Lol at getting downvoted for this. I was there at the time in the middle of it. Any other view is the view of someone deluded by the fragmented promise of Symbian. It was a system that was managed into a situation of grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory. Thrown on the floor. And the stamped out of existence. Everyone involved at the leadership level should be ashamed ... ruined Symbian and dragged Nokia down with it.

Good thing a masters is part of university then...

The point is that other countries produce people just as capable at equivalent jobs, it literally said credentials don't map 1:1 but their actual backing, the knowledge, is real.

You don't know what a head start is, that's ok, but my point was not that complicated.
> the US is genuinely a country of immigrants [...] I don't get the impression people are looked down on because they are foreign, once actually on the ground.

Whilst that may be the personal impression of some, the harsh reality is that many immigrants in the US suffer severe discrimination. For instance, many parts of the country have significant pockets of anti-hispanic sentiment. This often spills over into outright violence - just look at the El Paso shooting in 2019[1].

Speaking as a UK immigrant to Switzerland, even though it is not in the EU, Brexit is just a massive pain. Switzerland has a somewhat strained relationship with the EU, but does have lots of bilateral agreements, like free movement in the Schengen zone, now I'm not even sure if I need a passport to cross the border to France for a day trip.

Not to mention job prospects, it used to be Swiss, then EU then the rest of the world for consideration for a job, so I've dropped down a category, which is just an extra incentive for any company to not even consider UK citizens for a job.

I have a swiss residence permit, so I'm better off than most, and I will be going for citizenship in the next year or so.

One of the stranger conversations you can have with uk expats is those that supported brexit and are now perplexed that they suffer consequences.
> all the joy, happiness and hope seems to have drained from this land.

That might have more to do with the 18 months of COIVD lockdown than Brexit.
Thanks for sharing... enjoying their free trial now and love their playlists so far.
No but the vote has been interpreted as a mandate to implement UKIP's policy agenda (and beyond).

Less misinformation in the article than in Vote Leave's campaign.
Brexit (and the confected anti EU sentiment that led to it) has only ever been about pointing blame at the EU to explain/distract from the UK's gradual decline. That's why nobody's happy and it'll never be done with.
I agree with your list, except for what I feel is the implicit argument behind:

> Editing s-expressions efficiently requires special tooling.

In the interest of clarity to non-lispers: without Paredit/Parinfer, editing S-expression is an experience equivalent to writing C++/Java - you roughly have that many delimiters to deal with when structuring code. Paredit/Parinfer make this process much more efficient than you can reasonably do for Algol-like languages, because of the inherent simplicity of S-expression structure.
Sure, what I'm saying is that other people don't necessarily observe your actions. If someone molests children without anyone around to see, even if others would call them moral, that judgement would still be invalid, in my view.
