Fusion also produces radiation. So not sure why changing one word to the other should magically change public opinion.

We can just rename fission to #goodenergy or something, that would be cheaper then developing fusion.

People don't even know that nuclear reactors use fission, so the idea that this would change anything is crazy. People opposed will call fusion reactors 'nuclear' just like they do fission.
The real bonus are the TUI apps tho. No idea what Windows users did all the years without proper command line commands, now if they include a proper shell they could really make a dent in the Linux desktop stats
_Generic() is not a preprocessor feature, but a "real" language feature (I was confused too when I saw it first though).

The only preprocessor part in the example is mapping the function-like macro 'cbrt(X)' to the language keyword '_Generic(X)'.

I'm not very familiar with UNIX's history, so take this with a grain of salt, but I believe it originates with the QED text editor. More specifically, with Ken Thompson's rewrite of the QED text editor, when he bequeathed it with an ed-like syntax. (Perhaps more accurate to say "when ed's ancestor began to look like ed".)

In Thompson's QED, much as with ed, the 'g' (aka "global") command's syntax is `g/regular expression/command`. It means "for every line (i.e., globally) matching regular expression, perform command". A common use was `g/re/p` to print matches, thus the now-familiar `grep` binary.

The /etc/glob binary is very similar in feel: `/etc/glob expression command`, which means "for every file matching expression, run command". (Note that the /etc/glob binary didn't return a list of files for the shell to deal with; it did all the command execution on its own.)

I can't pin down exactly when 'g' was added to QED. If we assume Thompson's first rewrite of QED had it, then 1967 might be a good guess. 1970 is the latest possibility, because that's when the only manual I can find[0] is dated. Note that it is for Ritchie's rewrite and mentions an "improved Global command", so it's definitely not the first appearance. There is some more history of QED and ed at [1].

I’ll try it tomorrow and let you know, I was looking up ways to spoof gps through devtools but I can imagine some countermeasures, namely, comparing your location when you try to claim a faucet and deciding you arrived awfully fast from newfoundland to the maltese islands.

Not only this, but company B is buying fresh new machines that manufacturers have been competing to optimize for at least one tech-generation. They can build new factories optimized for 10x volume, which took the market years to reach and would have been insane ten years earlier.

They can skip compromises in products that were necessary due to immature tech.

> How do i go from writing Spark jobs to contributing to Spark?

What if you do the opposite? First try to contribute to Spark by picking the currently opened issues/bugs that looks the easiest. Write in the issue that you'd like to try to solve the issue but don't know the codebase very well, and that you might request some hand-holding if you have questions/get stuck. Most open source projects are willing to help contributors to get up to speed, so it could be a viable way.

As you start cranking through issues you'll learn more about the codebase and can stop getting help from others, maybe you'll start helping others instead.

When you're at this point (with a history of contributions) it'll be easy to find leads to jobs and also easy to get hired.

I do. Why should devs not understand the environment in which they are developing? If they don't understand the concepts then they're not developers.

Why do we call these people "software engineers" if they're not engineers. There is endless documentation, there is all the resources needed. Allowing devs not to know what they're doing is a complete failure of anything approaching professionalism.
> I really hope contenders dont keep spawning like rabbits

I do, because that would mean that more attention must be paid to make languages work together, instead of each language ecosystem becoming its own little island. Maintaining a project built from a dozen languages (where each language does one thing well) should be just as simple as maintaining a mono-language project.
Addendum to 1):

Thinking a bit further, just because we can produce a high amount of energy that doesn't necessarily mean we can automatically convert it into kinetic energy for a space ship very well. Most propulsion systems in space still require expelling a propellant and conservation of momentum means this is unlikely to change. (Sure, one could imagine solar sails but the little momentum exchanged there won't get half of humanity to Proxima Centauri very fast.) So while we might have unlimited energy we might still be constrained by momentum requirements.

The only way I can see to solve this conundrum would be producing enough propellant on board the space ship, e.g. (lots of) photons, using a laser. Definitely not impossible (especially not at these energy levels) but it'll be interesting to see what these propulsion systems will look like exactly. :)

Ideally, we would of course try to use the propellant to also get rid of the waste heat mentioned earlier but I'm not sure whether this would work entropy-wise.

While this is true, its a fact that the regulatory and governmental outlook on fission has prevented these changes from happening.

The western world has made development of new fission plants practically impossible. Requiring 100s of millions in development before you might get a hint if the government would actually allow you to build a plant.

Thankfully this has finally started to change. Mostly in Canada and that's where we will likely see next generation fission first.
Might be a possibility to incorporate with this project?

Expected earnings is what you think you'll get for this job plus what you think you'll get for jobs further down the line.

Adjacency matrices would make ownership clear and solve the single-writer/multiple-reader issue because nodes wouldn't directly reference each other, but it keeps the exact same relationship between nodes, so any memory leaks are still possible (e.g. not cleaning up dead code because it is cyclic and appears to have references). If I'm going to defeat the type system, it seems like raw pointers would be easier.

While I agree with your point about ITER.

Space based power generation to me is incredibly dumb. It would be far easier to build solar on earth and transport it around with high efficiency DC lines.

And if you are really looking into the cheapest possible energy a thorium breeder reactor could run for ever with no fuel cost and could be built with 70s technology. These reactor be produced in a factory at a manufacturing line and then dropped into a containment facility.

How this should be more expensive then space based solar makes no sense to me.

I love building UIs with HTML and I am ok with building JavaScript.

BUT this would not be the solution. People would still run different html and js engines and everything would be a mess.

Like: Java or Haxe.

That said I am pretty sure gnome shell comes with a complete js API.

> Importantly, you must do this for every open branch in your repo. It is not enough to do so for only your default branch since a malicious PR can target any of your open branches.

I think this is a big design flaw in GitHub Actions. Whenever there is a security patch, you have to make sure to apply them in every branch. This includes all the historical branches and stale branches which the repo owners forget to delete.
Since Rust is built on top of LLVM, what's preventing it from "just" adding the Clang C/C++/ObjC frontends into the Rust compiler, and create cargo packages with cross-platform C/C++/ObjC headers and runtimes? This would make cross-compilation and C/C++/ObjC integration just as easy as with Zig (and without requiring any external C toolchain, which is the most important point).

I guess the other (simpler) alternative is to wrap Zig into a Cargo package, similar to this:

https://pypi.org/project/ziglang/
The quoted argument is too simplistic and ignores feedback processes that would prevent reaching the catastrophic prediction. We can't predict 400 years so flippantly.

The population will most definitely not continue to grow (in fact it will start to decrease slightly the more countries reach "developed" status), and the energy consumption per-capita will also stagnate. After all, there is a huge difference between going from living in a log house to a modern apartment with utilities and AC, and not much of a difference between one laptop and a slightly better one some years down the line. Also, attitudes towards environmental protection are changing with the generations so we are likely making different decisions 50 years from now.

What little I know is half-remembered bits from Richard Rhodes' books about the atomic and nuclear bomb development. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Rhodes Plus some lay reading.

One of bits was that, before the US agreed to a test ban, American scientists ensured that it was possible to be confident that new warheads could be built, with a high confidence that they would work, even without additional testing.

The people involved with this had experience drawn from the >1,000 nuclear detonations that had occurred and from designing multiple generations of warheads.

There haven't been tests since 1992. "Stockpile Stewardship" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockpile_stewardship - is how we ensure the reliability of the "Enduring Stockpile" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enduring_Stockpile .

New nuclear weapons, that is, the "physics package", aren't developed. See https://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Weapons/Allbombs.html where the post-ban proposals say "Modifications of B-83 and B-61 bombs considered" and "Similar or the same as for the W-88".

New ways of delivering them are developed. You don't need as big a boom if you can deliver the bomb to within a meter of the target, vs. the 100m of the Minuteman III, or develop methods like "Super-Fuze" which can "[boost] the overall killing power of existing US ballistic missile forces by a factor of roughly three", without changing the physics package.
